I had the exact same thing just now. I wasn't really listening then that guitar stood out! Just goes to show Gilmour has some very recognisable (and copyable) playing habits. lsfeder wrote:

THIS masterpiece probably has a lot going for it on sheer association with the times it blew us all away in...it can still grab me by the spine and make me crank it, every time! But I'm curious to know if those who weren't around or aware of it when it broke get the same jolt from it... In my mind, if there was one song to remember that crazy summer to, this could well be way up there in the running...
Speaking for myself - this song transfixes me and I probably only heard it for the first time in the last 10 years or so. I think it stands as being brilliant by itself. Anything else is a bonus on top.
Hmm not bad, this is the first track I have heard from this project. I think its more ambient than anything else I've heard from this guy. It's very backgroundish music.
Agreed. Nor was "little girl" meant to be taken literally. This is Bruce, not Harvey Weinstein.
This still reads like “unwanted male attention” the song, to me. He spends the whole time focused on his own desires over anything else. That said, song still sounds good and it’s not like an artist can’t sing in character. I don’t think this reflects poorly on Bruce Springsteen at all even though this song has always made me feel uncomfortable. The intensity is real.
