I been a Pink Floyd fan for many years now, from the age of 11... 49 now, I always thought & assumed Dave was the back bone of Pink Floyd, after listening to Roger's solo albums over the years, I now understand most of his work & realise that Roger was infact the back bone of Pink Floyd then, absolute lyrical genius 👏
You're not alone, it amazes me how a lot of PF fans don't understand the dynamics of the band. From DSOTM onwards, these albums were all the ideas & concepts of Roger Waters. He composed most of the music. He wrote all the lyrics. People might not have liked it, but he was right when he said Pink Floyd was finished when he left.
I have just had the best experience of my life at a show from Roger Waters in This Is Not A Drill Tour. This is just a masterpiece from a legendary musician & the nostalgic journey was something that’ll live forever in my mind. Just an incredible piece of Artistic talent. Pure joy and an emotional experience. 🐖☝️
@@creepingbrain Even before DSOTM, he was the creative director of the band. Once Syd Barrett left, Roger steered the ship. Almost ALL of the best songs before Dark Side are either exclusively Roger's or he had a big hand in them. This includes tender ballads like "Julia Dream" and psychedelic jam numbers like "The Embryo." Without Roger, there would have been no Pink Floyd after Syd. The music produced by Gilmour's revived Floyd after Roger left is proof enough that without Roger, there is no Pink Floyd. David's ersatz Floyd was good enough when it reproduced the old classics live, but all the new material was just terrible.
I vaguely remember, as a very young lad, lying on my father's lap,opposite me, my little brother doing the same, listening to Roger in the late hours of the night. I remember the lucid tranquility his voice alongside his music offered. Tonight I listen to his music once more. Twenty years later and the feelings bubble up unharmed and unchanged, I'm still that young lad on that late South African evening. Thank you Roger. I hope young lads around the world continue to listen to your music, maybe, while lying on their pops lap. I love you Dad.
The album itself is like a loop. It is very hard to listen if you don't connect inmediatly with this depressive/repressive feeling on which the album is based.
One of the best songs from one of the best albums ever. Waters is a genius who can take you on a journey into darkness and back into light with his words. He tells such a moving story and makes you feel the intensity of his lyrics so deeply.
Unfortunately that will never happen because he speaks the truth all he will receive are smears. PF my favorite band now I mostly just listen to Roger because the other members joined in the smearing against him and have fundraisers for war.
@jnananinja7436 .. I totally agree a noble peace prize award & or a long dedication in music achievement award.. 60+ years..amazing man. But nothing daft like a knighthood... I can't imagine RW accepting anything that way... or maybes not being into being called sir!! Pomposity crap!
You'd god damn top y'self if you realized the truth of our actual existence , jeeze, a bit tearful . I can almost understand how folk don't quite get the horror behind this track. Good job "they" do put barium in the water.
AyE...that Sexual Revolution with Eric playing his guitar just foopin up there..oh yeah man.....am there...# the Bitch said something mystical,,"Herro...so I stepped back on the kerb again...very COOL 😎
I was a kind of lonely teenager and that womans voice at the beginning of the song used to really break me up. I used to think how great it would be if a nice lady talked to me like that.
Oh Roger....what kind of a world do we live in when you've only got 581 thousand subscribers and 'Mr Beast' has 341 million? Thanks for all you've done Sir, we're all so privileged to have lived in the same time that you did.
There are Pros and Cons to everything. Except Rogers' greatness. To that there are only Pros. We thank you Roger, for that you have done and continue to do.
@@qteep6112 a solo career is awsome. i wish people would stop being so reactive and mean. when people get along- work together instead of competing there would't be so much hate. That is all i am saying. Have a peaceful day rf.
Quante note, quanti pensieri stanno nella testa di questo genio. Di quanta musica e poesia Roger riempie il mio cuore. Con questo bellissimo brano anche di lacrime i miei occhi. Restiamo umani. Love
A volte vorrei addormentarmi con la musica...ma se non ascolto questa meraviglia, mi sento incompleta. Vorrei ringraziarlo davvero, con un abbraccio, uno sguardo, un sorriso, una lacrima. Senza Roger, che cazzo di vita sarebbe? Senza i suoi richiami alla consapevolezza, mi chiedo se riuscirei a sopportare il dolore di questo bellissimo e terribile mondo. Come posso dirti grazie, Roger? Resto umana!
One of the first steps of my spiritual journey consciously began with the message found within this song... some of my favorite guitar work by Clapton is on this album.
Me Too! I imagine there is a great multitude of folks this song has helped on their respective awakenings.This song was instrumental in mine when I revisited it after about 25 years. I am a lifelong fan and had the record in vinyl when first released in my early teens. I only wish I got the message back then but it is true..."better late than never!"
That final moment with the sunset and Roger. Just amazing! Such a nice song. I actually stood up and clapped for this. I cannot believe I have never seen this video being a PF and Roger fan for 35 years. Life is a great adventure Kids. Live it, don't exist.
Mr.Waters insight is superman like. Nobodys getting anything past him if it is of the slightest injustice. I would love to thank him for being the voice of so many.
"And now From where I stand Upon this hill I plundered from the pool..." Magic, still love and listen to this regularly after all these years - love 4:50am Go Fishing too, absolutely outstanding x
You’re bullshitting. That was CLAPTON? Wow I thought it was utter shit expecting a more Gilmour like solo. No disrespect to Clapton he’s a god but this truly shows how lost Gilmour and Waters are without each other.
0:11 ... "yes Please ,black coffe two big coffe spoons, no sugar, only coffe, please lady, I give a great tip"...when I finish my coffe..."Thanks Lady, Have a Nice day".
So raised on Pink Floyd. Seriously my mom would put her headphones onto her stomach and would play Dark side of the Moon , Meddles, Piper at the Gates of Dawn so before I took my first breath and made eyes up for my mom and dad I was introduced to Pink Floyd well I was about 19 my mom did got a separation and I was at my dad's house and I seen Roger Waters vinyl , I'm like what is this. He said listen to it. I was in love with this album it's like here in the wall all over again for the first time it's just something that's epic is a story to it and you can't just listen to one song from the album that's like opening a book and start from chapter 12.. thanks for the video
This is the 21st Century, so of course there is something deeply wrong ... with all of us. Even you. And that Teddy Bear over there. Those two girls on the swings. The bunny with the Glock ... in every stranger's thighs.
This music video takes me back to my childhood when there was a different kind of America. Things seemed to be more full of life and alive. I don't know how to describe it exactly but this music video makes me think of that time in my life when I was younger
Roger was the BAD one in the group.He was the one who broke the group up and took the remaining members to court He wrote 'the wall' but it wasnt up to him that the band should be retired when he left. He thought he was the band! The judge said to him that it was Syd! Barrett! who named the group 'not you' ,so the remaining members continued on a successful world tour to which R.W was jealous of.+In 1967 he was 'Supposedly' caught red handed by a band member putting a sugar lump with LSD into Syd Barretts tea 20 mins before they went onstage singing Apples and Oranges on the Pat Boone show.He timed it to perfection that Barrett would start tripping just as they began to sing the song.Roger said! 'ill mime it'.Then after, he was the one who said 'Don't pick Barrett up' when they went to do a gig....He envied Barrett because he couldn't get the girls as well as he did.If it wasn't for Dave Gilmour he would be a retired architect...He wasn't the soul of the band he broke the band up and then wanted to get together again 24 years later.If it wasnt for the death of Rick we would have had a world tour.In 1979 he wanted to sack Rick then fate came and destroyed his dream of a world tour 24-25 years later.Why break up a group who were at the peak of their musical careers just because of an inflated ego and jealousy? He WASNT Pink Floyds soul! he was Pink Floyds death.......But he was a genius in the music field..........If he lived and let live, Pink Floyd would have eclipsed the Beatles 'in my opinion'as the greatest band ever!
Pink Floyd was a great band of course. The Best of the 70's worldwide. After Roger left, Pink Floyd became a band lacking of innovation. If you see the playlist of their concerts, mostly is from the 70's and the band is an orchestra of 20 members with Gilmore doing solos. PF just released a new album like 6 days ago it's called "later years" and is mostly 70s. From 40 years ago their later years. I would call it: their only years. No Waters, no creation.
Roger is a word man a Lyrical sponge and his enjoyment is our relaxation..!! 23 at the time and still it feels like a wonderful journey of music that feels good with or without headphones.!!
It's been almost thirty years since I discovered this album (at the time, 1988, it had been out for around four years) and I can still recite every line of this song from memory.
Lyrics In truck stops and hamburger joints In Cadillac limousines In the company of has-beens And bent-backs And sleeping forms on pavement steps In libraries and railway stations In books and banks In the pages of history In suicidal cavalry attacks I recognise... Myself in every stranger's eyes And in wheelchairs by monuments Under tube trains and commuter accidents In council care and county courts At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts In drawing rooms and city morgues In award winning photographs Of life rafts on the China seas In transit camps, under arc lamps On unloading ramps In faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognise... Myself in every stranger's eyes And now, from where I stand Upon this hill I plundered from the pool I look around I search the skies I shade my eyes So nearly blind And I see signs of half remembered days I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways I recognise... The hope you kindle in your eyes It's oh so easy now As we lie here in the dark Nothing interferes, it's obvious How to beat the tears That threaten to snuff out The spark of our love
thanks for these lyrics- Roger preformed this song at all his live shows for some time after its release. I've seen many shows and clearly remember it's omission some time ago. Look for it to return at his future shows - one of his post Floyd highlights- of which, you all know, there are many!
Really touching. Voice, music and landscapes show us the man who works, who brings home his bread with difficulty. In the bars on his routes he finds real people. Roger Waters has always "seen" reality as it is and has transmitted it in music. Life is more acceptable. Thank you so much ❤️
I travelled to London in the summer of 85 from Glasgow to see him perform the pro's and cons in its entirity in Earls court.To hear this, and the gunners dream live with Clapton on guitar made it one of my most memorable gigs.
I been a Pink Floyd fan for many years now, from the age of 11... 49 now, I always thought & assumed Dave was the back bone of Pink Floyd, after listening to Roger's solo albums over the years, I now understand most of his work & realise that Roger was infact the back bone of Pink Floyd then, absolute lyrical genius 👏
I completely agree. He is Pink after all

you and I have too many similarities to be honest, i was a bit younger but...im now 49 as well. I came to the same realisation about these two lads :)

Choked me up bro!
It's amazing how beautiful music moves us in such a profound way. Love Rogers voice!
One of the best underrated albums of Music history - 'The Pros and Cons of hitchhiking'
I absolutely agree with you
The album itself is like a loop. It is very hard to listen if you don't connect inmediatly with this depressive/repressive feeling on which the album is based.
Ditto !
I feel this in my bones, my soul and I wish more people could feel this song, we'd live in a much better world.
One of the best songs from one of the best albums ever. Waters is a genius who can take you on a journey into darkness and back into light with his words. He tells such a moving story and makes you feel the intensity of his lyrics so deeply.
Totally agree my friend 🙏👌👍

Roger deserves some kinda award. Nothing too crazy… maybe a Nobel Peace Prize or two.. that’s all.
Unfortunately that will never happen because he speaks the truth all he will receive are smears. PF my favorite band now I mostly just listen to Roger because the other members joined in the smearing against him and have fundraisers for war.
@jnananinja7436 .. I totally agree a noble peace prize award & or a long dedication in music achievement award.. 60+ years..amazing man.
But nothing daft like a knighthood... I can't imagine RW accepting anything that way... or maybes not being into being called sir!!
Pomposity crap!
I Cry Wherever I Hear This Song.
* I Recognise Myself In Every Stranger's Eyes *

Roger always sings with his heart on his sleeve, unabashedly. It's one of the main reasons I love him, and always will.
not a great voice but the way he sings with all his heart and passion is what makes it good
Me too
Roger Waters is a beautiful man, even at 79. He is amazing
Crawler. His Will is written.

I agree, he's beautiful inside and out😊
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Every time I listen to this song I get teary eyed. Roger is a genius.

Great reference ... amazing song.
John Grunwell and do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land

This song is just genius,lyrically perfect musically haunting and for me one of his best songs he ever wrote with or without Floyd.
Yeah, I think it is indeed.
your not wrong it is beautiful.
totally agreed....this piece is a pure gem, a real MASTERPIECE and RW is a genius!!!
I shed a tear every time I hear this song.
My favourite song of all times.
Why pros n cons of hitchhiking is so so underrated 😢
I wonder if maybe the cover trivialized it for many potential listeners?
Roger and Eric Clapton's guitar can still make me shiver...

I'm 50 yes old love Floyd. I've never seen this video before I love it , where have I been , probably in every strangers eyes. I recognise 😉
Probably nothing to do with floyd . Many people put there own videos ro Floyd songs
For me the greatest song ever. Waters is pure genius.
This song brings tears in my strangers eyes
Roger Waters is a musical genius.
He definitely is
This man can sing , such an incredible singer and songwriter and let’s not forget Bass player
There are Pros and Cons to everything. Except Rogers' greatness. To that there are only Pros. We thank you Roger, for that you have done and continue to do.
The only cons from this is he's egocentric side of himself. But I don't blame him, he's a genius anyways
this whole album is great. Got me through some bad times

One of the greatest songs ever written
Roger WAS Pink Floyd's soul, he was the one who touched all of our hearts.
Don't forget Rick Wright for the foundation of their sound and tone ;-)) RIP Rick

Pink Floyd was a great band of course. The Best of the 70's worldwide. After Roger left, Pink Floyd became a band lacking of innovation. If you see the playlist of their concerts, mostly is from the 70's and the band is an orchestra of 20 members with Gilmore doing solos.

My favourite music of all times. I was a teen then, i am 45 now. It is just perfect.

This song gives me goosebumps. Beautiful and wonderful roger waters!
Some of the best work of his. Clapton is amazing on this album as well
one of the best clapton solos!
the best song of the album
The best song of the 80's.
For me the best song of the 80's goes to The Gunner's Dream from The Final Cut album.
Not now John is the one from Final Cut I really love. A more straight forward rock song which Floyd always do well.
I vote for "Go Fishing".
The whole album is my favourite song lol
Masterpiece
Lyrics
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs
And sleeping forms on pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts on the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now, from where I stand
Upon this hill
I plundered from the pool
I look around
I search the skies
I shade my eyes
So nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes, it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love
thanks for these lyrics- Roger preformed this song at all his live shows for some time after its release. I've seen many shows and clearly remember it's omission some time ago. Look for it to return at his future shows - one of his post Floyd highlights- of which, you all know, there are many!
Thnx!
Thanks so much for the lyrics, most appreciated.

Really touching. Voice, music and landscapes show us the man who works, who brings home his bread with difficulty. In the bars on his routes he finds real people. Roger Waters has always "seen" reality as it is and has transmitted it in music. Life is more acceptable. Thank you so much ❤️
I travelled to London in the summer of 85 from Glasgow to see him perform the pro's and cons in its entirity in Earls court.To hear this, and the gunners dream live with Clapton on guitar made it one of my most memorable gigs.
Roger will always be the heart and soul of Pink Floyd, thank you for everything ❤️
This song is in-between the colours of the rainbow. It calms my heart beat ❤
Absolute musical masterpiece
My favvvv Roger solo album., Didn't even know videos exist
His music will always live on
Respect Where Respect Is Due.
ThankYou,
Roger Waters For Your Existence.
RESPECT ❤
I CANNOT DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS WHEN I HEAR ROGER
It travels through the timelines like nothing else..
