Pink Floyd share animated video for 1971 Meddle classic

Pink Floyd are sharing a vintage animated video for their classic 1971 track, “One Of These Days.”

Created by UK artist and director Ian Emes, the clip for the opening track from “Meddle” was originally featured in his 1972 film, “French Windows”; after the band saw the footage on television, they went on to work with Emes on various video projects through the years.

The instrumental “One Of These Days” features a single spoken word passage by drummer Nick Mason, the only member of Pink Floyd to appear on all of their albums, including their final studio effort, 2014’s “The Endless River.”

Pink Floyd swept top honors in the 2020 hennemusic Rock News Awards; the iconic band captured the titles of Rock News Artist Of The Year and Rock News Story Of The Year in the 11th annual event.

Pink Floyd were the most read-about artist in both hennemusic categories, which are chosen by music fans: total page views determine the Rock News Story Of The Year, while the Rock News Artist Of The Year is based on the combined page views of the top 50 hennemusic rock news stories of the past twelve months.

The Top 10 in both categories were recently counted down in the tradition of the weekly hennemusic Hot 10.
