Like SB below a lot of that was way above me, I never realised just how good the Gilmour/Waters harmonies were. Fantastic track and loved hearing it unpicked.

I think it's the way that the verses are in B minor, while the chorus is best described as using a modal interchange of that key's relative major, D major, and D Mixolydian.

The modern Mixolydian scale is the fifth mode of the major scale (Ionian mode). That is, it can be constructed by starting on the fifth scale degree (the dominant) of the major scale. Because of this, the Mixolydian mode is sometimes called the dominant scale.
Commonly used in rock music:
Hey Jude, Sweet Home Alabama, Lay Lady Lay, Gloria, the theme from Star Trek....

I almost thought you were a real musician for a moment there...well, Grade 5 theory at least...
You are the obsolete SRN4 to my Fairey Rotodyne....

Yes I know what it is but wouldn’t have thought it was a feature of the structure of the song. I guess you could consider the “You are only coming through in waves...” bit of the chorus as switching to D mix but I hear it as switching to G major (Ionian) but of course both have the same scale tones. Anyways, an immense song. The perfectly crafted Live 8 version at my funeral please.
