she is beautiful. glad David found her. Just be happy for them. No need for negativity!!!

[outoworkdreamer]

what a wonderful thing for a musician to be married to a music loving, supportive woman...wow

[leo.y.comprendo]

I never knew Polly was like this, what a lucky man David, and what a lucky girl she is as well

[justemerci]

a beautiful soul, yes David is a lucky man but somehow, he deserves this ❤️

[MikeFloutier]

So delightful, these sort of videos are total gold dust; thank you! 🎸🎤🍾❤️

[risingoneagleswings]

What a beautiful soul she is. Her and David ..a match made with spiritual help.

[rainblaze.]

what an exquisite lady. No pretence and not at all hard on the eyes. David also has exquisite taste... it would seem

[craigkaschan]

What a beautiful woman. Dave’s a very lucky man.

[TheWriterNW]

She is a great writer... I didn't know she was also quite beautiful. Her writing on Division Bell is phenomenal. I listened to that album non stop on repeat when it came out... I was a freshman in high school at the time.

[richarddow]

The reason I listened to this was I wanted to see and hear the woman a man I consider one of the best rockers of all time; talks so fondly of and clearly is in mad love with is all about. But what I found was a True Love Soulmate relationship and I have found mine after many many years and was afraid of the age gap, until now. Thank you David and Polly. Live Love Laugh, yes.

[euanelliott]

A brilliant artist who is very much involved in her husband's music, much to his good fortune.

[MrPercussionPete]

David & Polly, match made in heaven.

[Sysiphistication]

Thank you for this interview. I adore her poetry and lyrics. With David, one of the best teams in Rock music, just outstanding. Long may you run!

[VEGAN-X]

ID BE INTERESTED WHAT SHE THINKS ABOUT PRACTICALITY OF THE BOSS GE 7

[bruceable]

Thank you Poly for lyrics and collaboration with my friend David.

[nancyrose]

I love the obvious connection between Polly and David. (First name basis! lol) When he speaks of her, there is such admiration, love and respect. And the same for her. Oh, to find a love like that!! You just know they are so crazy mad for each other. And to be able to work together in such a perfectly amazing way. Just icing on the cake. I kinda wish she would write a book about their love story. I know it's a private thing, but to me it's a classic story. Thank you, Joanne Wilder, for sharing this interview. I love everything about Polly. She is absolutely beautiful in every way!

[maelughran]

Polly is special. i Extraordinarily nsightful and articulates a lot of basic truths. Refreshingly honest, down-to-earth.
You'd never think that she was married to a multi-millionaire, there's no airs nor graces.
I had the pleasure and privilege to meet David Gilmour decades ago, and he too has great humility, a gentle, very personable guy. They make a lovely pairing and thats nice to see.

[robertclarkguitar]

I am fortunate to have actually had a few comments back from her on IG with Gilmour. Lovely family my mentors

[mrdavis]

Ask her about the Electric Mistress and Tube Drivers behind her!

[stevieG.]

Really insightful interview a snapshot into David & Polly's world - David couldn't just sing the lyrics straight away though as she said, he would still need to come up with a vocal melody for how the lyrics are to be sung over the music track.
