"Marooned" is an instrumental track on Pink Floyd's 1994 album, The Division Bell; the track won a Grammy Award in 1995.

The piece was written by David Gilmour and Richard Wright.It has sounds that describe the setting as an island (such as seagulls and waves crashing on the shore). It was composed while jamming aboard the Astoria in early 1993. The high-pitch guitar sounds on the track came from a Whammy pedal which makes the guitar sound an octave higher, also known as a pitch shifter. Also in the background can be heard the wailing guitar effects from the original recording of the Pink Floyd song "Echoes," which were redubbed onto this song by Gilmour for increased textural effect.

David Gilmour has mentioned that "pretty much" all of "Marooned" is improvised and that he "probably took three or four passes at it and took the best bits out of each".

The track was given a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1995.

This song has only been played live three times: On the two dates in Oslo, Norway (one of which is featured on the Pulse DVD) on the 1994 "The Division Bell" tour and at the "The Strat Pack" charity concert, for the 50th anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster guitar, where Gilmour played his "#0001" Stratocaster.

An excerpt of the music is featured on Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd.

Gilmour knows how to make a guitar sing

This is one of those song that takes the quote “when words fail, music speaks” to a whole new level.

My God, how is it possible for humans to make such art and then such atrocities... we are really in a duality

Marooned is a song that reminds us that even in times of loneliness and depression, the infinite peace and bliss of the cosmos is within us and surrounding us and thus we are a part of the whole rather than being alone and marooned on the island of our own selves and our own consciousness.

This song will forever remind me of September 2022. My mother, my father and my younger brother. We are in Pineda de Mar, small town near Barcelona. Listening to this masterpiece, the guitar riffs, my family is laughing, swimming in the still-warm mediterranean sea, having a well-deserved vacation, stress-free. I am lying on my towel on the shore. I feel the sand beneath me & the autumn sun above. I feel safe, careless, free, loved, appreciative of the moment.

Thank you Pink Floyd

This song represents the end of an era, the closing of a chapter in our lives. Never again will we experience this level of beauty in music. The world has changed, and we must move on, whether we want to or not. Thank you David and Richard for this masterpiece. Whatever the future holds, I will always cherish this composition, and all the beautiful music that went before.

Even without any lyrics, this has to be one of the most beautiful songs that exist! The instruments tell a better story than words ever could.
It sounds so cosmic 💫

"where should the guitar solo go in this song?"

David Gilmour: *yes*

For me, this song really helps me grieve the recent loss of my step dad. So beautiful in a melancholy way.

Such a beautiful piece from Floyd. And Gilmore claims he's not much because he doesn't play that fast. I love his playing. It's incredible!
