"Learning to Fly", with its lyrics of "circling sky, tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I", was inspired by Gilmour's flying lessons, which occasionally conflicted with his studio duties.
"Learning to Fly", koja sadrži tekst "circling sky, tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I" ("Nebo koje okružuje, nijem i uvrnut, samo nespretnjaković vezan za Zemlju, ja"), bila je inspirirana Gilmourovim instrukcijama letenja koje su se ponekad kosile s njegovim studijskim obvezama.
