"You'll find me in a Berlin bar
In a corner, brooding
You know that I go very quiet
When I am listening to you
There's something special indeed
There's something special indeed
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy
There's something very real in how I feel, honey
It's in me, it's in me, and you know it's for real
Tuning in on your saxophone
The candle burning over your shoulder
Is throwing shadows from your saxophone
A surly lady in tremor
The stars that climb from her bowels
Those stars make towers on vowels
You'll never see that you had all of me
You'll never see the poetry you stirred in me
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt, in myself, so rightly
It's in me, it's in me, and you know it's real
Tuning in on your saxophone"
- Kate Bush, 1978

Dick Parry, Pink Floyd saxophonist, dies at 83
Dick Parry, the British saxophonist widely recognised for his collaborations with Pink Floyd, has died at the age of 83. His death was confirmed by David Gilmour, who paid tribute to his long-time friend and musical partner, highlighting Parry’s distinctive tone and expressive playing style that became a defining element of several iconic tracks. No cause of death has been publicly disclosed. Parry is best known for his memorable saxophone contributions to Pink Floyd’s classic recordings, including the celebrated solos on ‘Money’ from 1973’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ and ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ from the 1975 album ‘Wish You Were Here’. His playing also featured on other key songs such as ‘Us And Them’ and ‘Wish You Were Here’, helping to shape the atmospheric and emotional depth of the band’s sound during their most influential period. Born in Kentford, Suffolk, in 1942, Parry met David Gilmour as a teenager, and the pair played together in local bands around Cambridge. Their musical partnership continued into the era of Pink Floyd, with Gilmour later joining the band in 1967. Parry became a regular session musician for Pink Floyd throughout the 1970s and also performed live with them during that decade. He later reunited with the Gilmour-led Pink Floyd for the 1994 ‘The Division Bell’ world tour and contributed to the track ‘Wearing The Inside Out’. Parry also appeared in major live events such as Live 8 and played on Gilmour’s ‘On An Island’ tour alongside the late Rick Wright. Beyond Pink Floyd, he worked with artists including Rory Gallagher, John Entwistle and Lightnin’ Slim, earning a strong reputation as a versatile and highly respected session musician across rock and blues.
