"Signs of Life" is the opening song on "A Momentary Lapse of Reason", the first Pink Floyd album headed by David Gilmour, in the absence of ex-member Roger Waters. It is an instrumental piece, although in the version featured on "A Momentary Lapse of Reason", the electronically-processed voice of drummer Nick Mason can be heard for a few seconds reciting two verses of an unknown poem. The first verse may be about Syd Barrett and the second about Roger Waters, much like the song "Poles Apart" from "The Division Bell". The screen film used to accompany the song during concert performances featured Langley Iddens, caretaker of David Gilmour's Astoria houseboat-studio, rowing through Grantchester Meadows.

It's Pink Floyd's first instrumental piece (excluding the live-only "The Last Few Bricks") since 1973's "Any Colour You Like", from "The Dark Side of the Moon".
