This album has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. I love it. I'm kind of glad it's not a huge commercial success. It makes it feel more...mine.
One of my favorites from this album. "Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma, after the service walking slowly to the car" "silver in her hair".....never fails to bring tears to my eyes. My vision of my mother at my father's funeral when I was 7. 55 now and still a crybaby, I am. Ma passed 8 months ago @ 92. Love Mr. Waters as well as Syd.
I love how this album humanizes the teacher character from The Wall. He's worried about his son, sent off to fight in the Falklands, and maybe also facing his past if he served in WW2.
I interpret it as the son died in a previous war, since his picture is in black and white, and the dad is both still grieving his son's death and is distressed that more youth are being sent to die in another new war
Yes, he and Pink in the end had more in common than anyone realized: they are both victims of war, while Pink grieved over the death of his father and never met him, the professor grieves over the loss of his son and has to deal with him for the rest of his life. with the fact that he will never see him again (except in dreams).
He could have been a kind of father figure to Pink, giving the best of life's teachings and both could fill each other's emotional void, sad that Pink only saw him as another tyrant/dictator and the teacher saw him as another boy fragile with no future.
I can't explain why But this song makes me think of My Grandfather . He passed away in 2008. He was a WWII veteran. He used to tell me stories about it. We were pretty close. I still miss him to this day. I have to admit this song doesn't leave a dry eye.
@Flaturtha the Numidian Not better than comfortably numb....But this whole album is different atmosphere...Is This the Life We Really Want? by RW has similar atmosphere...
I just got out or the Pink Floyd exhibition about an hour ago. This was playing and I forgot how powerful this song is. I may have been tearing up but I wasn’t the only one.
One of my all time favorite pink floyd songs. The emotion and poetic lyrics is totally beautifull. Pure genius and storytelling in a song. Just beautifull.
@@phillylarkin.s1930Haven't heard this in a while. Listening now with all the madness and suffering the buggers are perpetrating on the world....just so sad.
If you want to hear a good song about Vietnam, then try Paul Hardcastle's "19." If you want to watch a good Vietnam movie try the 1989 "84 Charlie Mopic." Thank your father for his service.
A quiet masterpiece for us Floyd fans. Evokes such emotions, with Waters delivering quiet anger that still resonates today. A master wordsmith whose lyrics touch people in a deep and meaningful way, Roger takes you on a journey that ends with the haunting 'Two Suns in the Sunset'. I don't know whether to be sad or hopeful listening to that last song....but what an album....😊
A musically theatrical masterpiece. Well hell, the whole album is, but this song is so well put together, sprinkled with ear candy, that it makes this sound engineer/musician emotional. I love this.
------- lyrics ----- Floating down, through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now But in the space between the heavens And in the corner of some foreign field I had a dream I had a dream Good-bye Max Good-bye Ma After the service, when you’re walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream! A place to stay “Oi! A real one …” Enough to eat Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what’s more no-one ever disappears You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no one kills the children anymore And no one kills the children anymore Night after night Going round and round my brain His dream is driving me insane In the corner of some foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight What’s done is done We cannot just write off his final scene Take heed of the dream Take heed
And the album shows this character,saying that he was a ex soldier in war,and now he's a teacher that abuses his students. Yep,that description is the one from the teacher from the wall. And he has the same actor,Alex McAvoy
Canario Garcia....YES, you are correct💯...their is three other individuals that are shown in the Final Cut video that are also in The Wall movie. Your clue is that 3 are male in gender and 1 is female. FYI: The reason your seeing the same individuals in the Final Cut video as in the movie The Wall is these 4 individuals are related to a Orginal Pink Floyd band member, which can not be disclosed due to Copyright and Trademark concessions. Good eye my friend! Take Care and Be Well... 🇬🇧🇺🇸🌎
@@tomascalfu6211 Given the context of the song, I'd also say he may or may not have had a son who died out in WW2. I guess this because if this is the same character, WW2 was happening when he was a teacher. He might have fought WW1, but the young man he looks at so sadly may be his son. Also the context of the song being about the final thoughts of a dying pilot.
This album is a great dedication to his father. I have always loved it. Rip Eric Fletcher waters.on the wall movie when the tigers broke free. Which is now on the remastered album anzio bridge head is ware he was killed...the final cut...
"And No One Kills the Children Anymore" One of the Most Poignant Lyrics Ever So No More Fighting False Flag Wars for The Maniacs if You Wanna Fight Fight for Children
My Dad loved this cassette it was always stolen from him or he lost it somehow through the years. In his dying days my sister played this 💔 as well as many other songs from this album. Shit kills me but I come back to life when it stops ✋️ 💯 😪 ❤ broken 💔 I have blind faith 🙏🏻 I'll 👀 see him again
I agree,,,,while all the van halen,acdc,we're blasting,witch I love, I wore my final cut cassette out..(still have my original !)..for me ,this is a top 10 of all times sake,,pat...land o' lakes,wi.
this song has me on the verge every time i listen to it. this entire album is composed of the most heartfelt and painful compositions. Roger's song writing is hands down the best of its class.
Pink Floyd is definitely part of my soul forever painted on my memory I can't think of a Time growing up that they weren't part of my teenage years at a really young age I started listening to them when I was about 9 years old and I'm 54 now wow that comment about time flying is dead on thank you Pink Floyd
So many young lives taken by wars waged by generals who could care less😔 A generation of men raised by strong women in pain.... a requem to the post war dream indeed♥ Love to Roger for his brutal honesty even when not popular with fans or fellow brothers in the band💪♥🍺🤘
We all have songs that speak intimately to us. Songs we go to to seek comfort in times of struggle. TGD is one of mine. It breaks my heart and heals it at the same time. This whole album is an absolute masterpiece.
As I sit in my office on this Saturday afternoon. I happen to listen to Wish you were here and now this song ( first time hearing Gunners Dream) and literally I think of my Dad who passed in 2019... I have tears rolling down my cheeks as I write this....
Anche x me che ho 73 anni li ascolto da 50 anni da quando li ho visti in Olanda a Rotterdam nel 71.magistrali le emozioni che trasmettono.emozioni collegate agli anni 70.li ascolto anch'io come fosse sempre la prima volta.Dainese aldo
Fact:The actor for the character in this video is Alex McAvoy,the same actor for the teacher in the wall. The character is described as a man who is an ex soldier that participated in wars,now he's a teacher that abuses his students. The description fits with the teacher from the wall,because he is the same character.
This is my favorite song ever and whoever is running this account has made a really trashy day so much because of this upload. Thank you so so much for this.
Yes this album is sonething. Many times I have listen the all album in a quiet place where every sound can be appreciated. Beautiful moments of personal reflection.

Well said.
Same here.
my favorite album. I burned that tape out, wore my friends out, no one got it.
This song always brings a tear, and that’s the power of Pink Floyd
That last sentence is strange but true. Agreed.
Nobody draws the sadness and melancholy from human life like Waters. His pain and genius has been our blessing.
Well put, sir 🖤👌
Rick wrote some melancholy songs to like Against the Odds and Stay
This album is criminally underrated
Totally agree, I especially love 'Paranoid Eyes'
You do know that these songs are just rejected from the wall?
@@trikkerman1 incorrect; that was the plan. The Falklands war changed direction. RW did reuse some ideas but it's not an album of rejected music.
@@oris247 Wrong.
Hear, hear.
Some of Roger's finest. This album gives me chills..so hauntingly beautiful.
Love
@@pucciopellerito321 ... Bein choice!
profile pic checks out
When such stories are appearing i always remember of John Lennon's song "IMAGINE".....
Agreed, but I have had a hard time convincing others over the years. This seems to be one of those albums that you absolutely love, or you don't.
Wasnt expecting to cry this early in the morning
Pepe.
Amen brother.
The part when he looks at the TV and then to the picture at the end almost got me, beautiful song
i only cry if i sing along 🥴
One of my favorites from this album. "Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma, after the service walking slowly to the car" "silver in her hair".....never fails to bring tears to my eyes. My vision of my mother at my father's funeral when I was 7. 55 now and still a crybaby, I am. Ma passed 8 months ago @ 92.

RIP to your mum xx
anotherbri we all have this crybaby inside,that will never grow ,
Hold on to the dreams,and all luv to you and your Ma n father
Shine on ❤️
Damn. Too bad she did not make it, to 93, so as someone could have Typed "93? That, is odd."
Nothing to be ashamed of my man. God bless your family and I’m sorry you went through that.
It's never easy losing people we love.
I love how this album humanizes the teacher character from The Wall. He's worried about his son, sent off to fight in the Falklands, and maybe also facing his past if he served in WW2.
Everything seems to indicate that is son died on the war
Omg I never noticed that
I interpret it as the son died in a previous war, since his picture is in black and white, and the dad is both still grieving his son's death and is distressed that more youth are being sent to die in another new war

Tears for every man who was ever lost in a nightmare. War is a nightmare.
I think the same, but I don't think we have so many tears in a lifetime...
@@neverbefore2729 my father survived the war, but it killed him. Never knew I had so many tears.
The illusion of war is a nightmare
Such a rare diamond of an album. Roger is at his absolute best.
I can't explain why But this song makes me think of My Grandfather . He passed away in 2008. He was a WWII veteran. He used to tell me stories about it. We were pretty close. I still miss him to this day. I have to admit this song doesn't leave a dry eye.
The most atmospheric song filled with raw emotion. You don’t listen.you feel
I'd say this is one of my favorite Floyd albums but in all honesty there all amazing in their own right, there'll never be another band like them,,,😢
Kev yeah !!!!
love it.
I hope there will.
Sorry Kev, not Pink Floyd, but, Roger Waters. All yummy, but better together, as they will do in another life😔😔
@@annreid1965 well said
This is probably in my top 10 favorite Pink Floyd songs
this is probably top 10 best pink floyd's songs

Of the 1,000?
I think after Animals, this comes next
This is probably in my top 10 favorite songs.
By far the best album from Floyd. How fitting, even for today.
It's a fantastic album but not quite up there with The Wall.
It tells a story..a story a love and anger..severe emotional pain..a persons soul vocally expressed over years of memories and day dreams..
This album is a masterpiece in my opinion.
I just got out or the Pink Floyd exhibition about an hour ago. This was playing and I forgot how powerful this song is. I may have been tearing up but I wasn’t the only one.
In Montreal?!
@@popcrashboom2111 yeah, it’s at the Arsenal contemporary museum until Feb 5th. I flew up from Miami for a weekend just for that. Was worth it.
@@ATCguy83 nice! I know i went there twice i live in Montreal
I just went today, and yes, looking at that video during the exhibition was a very emotional moment for me as well, very powerful song indeed.
Oh same thing. For me !! Was there yesterday !
Floyd, Thank you for existing
That scream from 4:20 onwards....it's impressive but so heart wrenching all at once
An album which has pulled me through some of my darkest and lowest times.
Never knew this video existed before. Holy crap is it powerful.
One of my all time favorite pink floyd songs. The emotion and poetic lyrics is totally beautifull. Pure genius and storytelling in a song. Just beautifull.
Omg ❤ I first heard this album when I was 19....I'm 53 now 😂 Absolute class❤
The sax solos in this song and two suns in the sunset are just masterful!!
Kind of music you never get tired of.....real masterpiece...
I thought The Final Cut was great when it was released and I still say it has stood the test of time.
Wicked album
The most wonderful and perfect album ever, after the wall album, both master pieces
One of the most beautiful songs ever written ❤
Totally underrated album. This one is up there, with The Wall.
It's mostly out takes of the wall but the wall is a work of art.
This one rips the heart out.
You could say you felt the final cut
Take heed of the dream 🙏❤️🌅
@@phillylarkin.s1930Haven't heard this in a while. Listening now with all the madness and suffering the buggers are perpetrating on the world....just so sad.
Straight out
This song always gives me chills. It always makes me think of my chopper pilot father who was shot down in Vietnam.
I listen to it in Iraq every day before I went on patrol 101st in Mosul Iraq I loved it.
If you want to hear a good song about Vietnam, then try Paul Hardcastle's "19." If you want to watch a good Vietnam movie try the 1989 "84 Charlie Mopic." Thank your father for his service.
I absolutely love this album. I love how it gets quiet for a bit then gets loud. It’s definitely a more Roger solo album but it is great
Richard died 10 years ago today. Time flies by so fast.
RIP.
Wow ten years already, you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking. RIP Richard
It's true. Richard Wright wasn't on this album.
And then , one day , you find , 10 years have got behind you ...
Come back and realize you posted this 1 year ago...
@@ethnicleanserberg7975 no one told you when to run
A quiet masterpiece for us Floyd fans. Evokes such emotions, with Waters delivering quiet anger that still resonates today. A master wordsmith whose lyrics touch people in a deep and meaningful way, Roger takes you on a journey that ends with the haunting 'Two Suns in the Sunset'. I don't know whether to be sad or hopeful listening to that last song....but what an album....😊
What a brilliant song. My mom has Alzheimer's and is 91. The song hit home for me.
A musically theatrical masterpiece. Well hell, the whole album is, but this song is so well put together, sprinkled with ear candy, that it makes this sound engineer/musician emotional. I love this.
One of my favorite Floyd albums
That sax gives me goosebumps n goes right thru my heart
Every trime
This song will ALWAYS be relevant
Unfortunately.
Indeed.@@ge2623
The Final Cut is a masterpiece. Period.
not really, it's a 2nd rate The Wall and is depressing as hell,
I'd prefer to listen to AMLOR over this!
Some serious gravy in these lyrics.
Probably my favorite Pink Floyd song, such an expressive voice, it shreds my heart.
Outstanding album darker than dark
------- lyrics -----
Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream
Good-bye Max
Good-bye Ma
After the service, when you’re walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream!
A place to stay
“Oi! A real one …”
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what’s more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
And no one kills the children anymore
Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What’s done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed
thanks
@@user-zv7yb4yp9g you're welcome
The lyrics are very clear. Thanks for the wasted effort.
Thank you.
thank you for that. fantastic.
Keep getting drawn back to this album...gets better every time.
That bone chilling scream ! It used to haunt me like anything 30 years back when I was continuously listening to this album for months.
loved this album. I'm a history buff and it really pulls at your heart knowing what the wars did to our soldiers
THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!¡
WE LOVE PINK FLOYD
God, this song always hits me right in the heart.
“…and no one kills the children anymore.” Thank you Roger for still fighting for that dream today. 🆓🇵🇸
HANDS DOWN MOST UNDERRATED PINK FLOYD SONG
The Final Cut is the BEST one made been listening to it for 40 years. Still gives me chills.
What an album. Lyrics are fantastic
That's the same actor who played the school teacher in The Wall

Roger really got better looking as he got older. Sure as hell doesn't look like he's 75. Long live one of the best songwriters of our time.
You're right , but I think Roger Waters is THE BEST songwriter in music history , the depth of his lyrics is just absolutely fantastic
Yeah he doesn't look like a horse anymore.
Yes, to me he's the Best, and if Dylan was awarded with the Nobel prize Waters deserves ir more

Hello hello is there anybody out there just nod if you can hear me is there is anyone home relax I need some information first right
Waters has effectively captured the PTSD suffered by many of those who returned home.
Ways ahead of society finally recognized PTSD.
That sax transition is a musical masterpiece.
Gracias Pink Floyd por existir, por dejar refugiarme en tú música en los momentos que no me siento muy bien...
The Final Cut album is a masterpiece and grossly underrated. It get's better with every listen. I don't think many gave it a fair chance...their loss.
Its not the only song on this album that brings tears to my eyes. Amazing.
Most of the songs bring tears to my eyes. It's an album you have to listen to from track 1 to the end.
There are no words for songs like this! It speaks for itself!
My favorite album
This is the most emotional song out of all of Pink Floyd (In my opinion)
Roger has a very thin voice, you can always feel relaxed by his soothing voice
So many young lives taken by wars waged by generals who could care less😔 A generation of men raised by strong women in pain.... a requem to the post war dream indeed♥ Love to Roger for his brutal honesty even when not popular with fans or fellow brothers in the band💪♥🍺🤘
My favourite album of all time.
Yes sir. I thought the same thing from the first time I listened to the album. 🖤
Mozart, beethoven, chinese music, and Pink floyd....the scale from the greatest❤❤❤
We all have songs that speak intimately to us. Songs we go to to seek comfort in times of struggle. TGD is one of mine. It breaks my heart and heals it at the same time.
This whole album is an absolute masterpiece.

Thank you so much, Pink Floyd
This song it’s one of thousands Pink Floyd has its beautiful
Fact:The actor for the character in this video is Alex McAvoy,the same actor for the teacher in the wall.
The character is described as a man who is an ex soldier that participated in wars,now he's a teacher that abuses his students.
The description fits with the teacher from the wall,because he is the same character.
The Final Cut it's really F... Good Album !!! One of the many masterpiece from Rogers Waters !!!
This is my favorite song ever and whoever is running this account has made a really trashy day so much because of this upload. Thank you so so much for this.
25 years with pink floyd music and i never came across this song. What a surprise.!!!
