"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 [Antonioni] could have gotten done better by any number of American bands. But he chose us — very strange."
