Polly Samson is an English novelist, lyricist and journalist. She is married to musician David Gilmour and has written the lyrics to many of Gilmour's works, both as a solo artist and with the group Pink Floyd. She is credited as a co-writer on seven of The Division Bell's 11 tracks and, with the retrospective credit given to Clare Torry for her vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky". She is one of only two female co-writers of any Pink Floyd songs. She also wrote lyrics for Gilmour's 2006 album, On an Island and made a guest appearance on piano and vocals.
She contributed lyrics to "Louder than Words", the only track on Pink Floyd's 2014 release, The Endless River, to contain any sung lyrics. Samson has also contributed lyrics to half of the tracks on Gilmour's latest album, Rattle That Lock (2015), which were inspired by Paradise Lost, an epic poem by John Milton.
