"Crumbling Land" is a song by Pink Floyd from the soundtrack album of the film Zabriskie Point.[1] [2]

History

It is an up-tempo, country-styled song. David Gilmour and Rick Wright provided the vocals. In the booklet of Zabriskie Point soundtrack's reissue, there is a note about what David Gilmour said about the song in an interview; he described the song as "a kind of country & western number which he [film director Antonioni] could have gotten done better by any number of American bands. But he chose us — very strange.". The music is similar to instrumental "Unknown Song/Rain in the Country". Take 2 of "Rain in the Country" ends in "Crumbling Land". The song is titled "On the Highway" in the box set The Early Years 1965–1972.
