About composition
“On the Turning Away” is one of the three tracks on the album A Momentary Lapse of Reason , in the writing of the text for which Anthony Moore, the musician of Slapp Happy [6] [7], took part. Anthony Moore was actively helped by Gilmore in creating the lyrics of the song “On the Turning Away” [8] .
For On the Turning Away, Richard Wright performed the solo part on keyboards, and Bob Ezrin and John Karin wrote the orchestra, but Gilmore decided that they did not fit this composition and did not include them in the final version of On the Turning Away [6 ] [9] .
