Years ago Roger revealed that this particular line was inspired by Andrzej Wajda’s movie. Anyway this is very moving interpretation, always loved this song.
I’ve always understood this lyric as a cynical sentiment about the catastrophic outcome of a nuclear war, where every one of us stands on the same line regardless of race, wealth or power. ”The end” being the literal end of humanity. Never thought it to be a comforting lyric by any means.
I graduated from high school in 1983, the same year this album was released and every time I hear it, it takes me back to a time when life was allot simpler. A time when I was still young and strong. A time when the world wasn't so screwed up as it is right now. God help us.
The song is about the end of us all in a nuclear war. Such an ever present possibility during the cold war. This man made end-of-the-world in the background all the time as two powerful enemies stared each other down. USA and USSR each with their finger on the button. Ready to launch in an instant. A very tense moment that stretched out for decades. It was as fucked up a time as a time can get.
This is the greatest song i have probably ever heard...The ladies...Angels voices....The most beautiful sound my ears have ever heard. Thank you Roger and ladies...Well done
the girls are from a band formed in Brooklyn call Lucius, they are are amazing amazing amazing - check out performance their KEXP - ruclips.net/video/kKH0-dV4n9k/видео.html
The last time he played Philly Us and Them redeux the ladies voices really hit another level to my senses at a show. Not sure if they are the 2 that night. They both had platinum blond dews and hit and carried amazing highs. They truly made, what I knew was going to sound great, sound amazing!
Мое уважение вам! Маэстро! Pink Floyd величайшая группа! Вы один из ее основоположников! Мы слушали вашу магическую музыку в начале 1970 -х в СССР и слушаем ее до сих пор.
Absolutely magnificent. I think this is better than the original. The girls' voices add so much passion and beauty to the already beautiful song. Well done Roger and thank you.
There are parts of this version that I like better (backing vocals for sure). But I love Roger's voice on the bridge in the original. Just sounds so angst-ridden, which makes sense, of course, considering what the song is about.
Not quite a Pink Floyd record, not really a Roger Waters record, "The Final Cut" is still the last really great thing both have done. The Waters-Gilmour tension is so fruitful.
I'm not going to lie, I'm a 28yo man and I've cried a few times listening to their voices in these latest few songs from Roger. It's pure bliss, it really is.
This is my grand daughters account. Just got some tears in my eyes remembering my youth in my room listening to this, and then thinking about mY dad who is now gone and all the friends that i lost.
Roger is like no other artist. He conveys the real angst of the human experience and should be listened to by all demographics. His voice is a treasure for all humanity.
From this tiny little speck we resonate throughout the cosmos this song is so beautifully sad drenched in anguish hail to you Rodger waters and all you have done for humanity I'm proud to call you a brother
@Larry Bones He's referring to our physical make-up being dust and ashes in the end, without going into if things go farther than that. No matter what religion and whoever ends up being correct about the afterlife, the last thing we'll all be on the physical plain is ashes.
@Larry Bones Religion is Rubbish. (I think George Carlin called it 'Bullshit") "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." The Big Sleep....That's what we all have in store for us, in the end. Equal fate awaits us all. So lets not rush it with destruction. Face it, all that will be left of you Mr. Bones....is your bones. And the sooner you/we face this truism and cooperate the better off we'll be. Roger Waters knows this. And he puts his message to music beautifully. Love this man. In my opinion, Roger Waters (Or even John Lennon) are Way more deserving of a Noble Peace Prize than Henry Kissinger, Woodrow Wilson, Sadat/Begin or Barack Obama.
I went to RUclips because I wanted to hear Two Suns in The Sunset again and found this lovely version. Thank you, Roger, for all your music and prophetic lyrics.
Apparently, The Final Cut album was born on the remains of the more famous The Wall, but I say it's much better than this one. The Wall is a masterpiece. The Final CUT is magic!
These new performances of “Two Suns In The Sunset” and “Mother” are beautifully done! Perhaps you should be quarantined more often! Absolutely beautiful. I hope you do more with these musicians. An album is a great idea!

This song somehow hits differently now that extinction is not that far. War is definetely the worst thing that exists on Earth. Stay safe out there. I wish you the best for your life!!
One of my best friends.passed away last week. This was the last thing we shared. We ilstened to this often when we were young. And bulletproof. Thanks for this Roger and the band.
Title track and Gunner's Dream are real heart-string tuggers. My Old Man was part of the Winter Line assaults, at least one of the major offensives at Monte Cassino (I believe there were four) and, maybe, Anzio - although he was never very forthcoming about the details of his experiences during the Italian Campaign (understandably). It's possible he was away from the slaughter at Anzio or passed through after the worst was over. Nevertheless, I often imagine them, just as a kind of reverie on my part, crossing each others' paths. Maybe a nod, a salute. One, my Dad, goes on to a life, a career, a family - albeit with undeniable PTSD. He made it out in one piece, more or less. Mr. Waters Snr. did not. Terribly tragic and so arbitrary. Anzio was an absolute shitstorm. WW2 was a just war, as wars go - but it was still War. Nuclear "deterrence" (M.A.D) cannot be called "War", not in the sense of ordinary language uses of the term. It is macabre, deadly, cold, and rational game theory. This is the paradox of reason, the critique of Enlightenment - that you can reason your way to insanity. Enough of my ramblings. Just thinking of Dad, after that song.
I can listen to Roger's voice forever. It makes me cry sometimes, when I lay in the dark listening, because it has a way of "transporting" me to the past.
Instant LEGENDS! All the musicians, especially the girls are now instant legends. They will be remembered and discussed in the world of music and pink floyd years to come. I hope & wish we live to see that!
It's true that the world has gone crazy, everything is turned upside down, literally on its head. Someone is setting the world on fire, pursuing shallow goals for which innocent people pay. Thank you for your conscious presence, I am grateful for your sober voice on this and many other matters.
@@user-wk2qp8cp8x if you were latin american you would understand how the final cut is emancipatory and illuminated within the context of south america
The FInal Cut was my favorite album for decades. The depth, the pain, the passion. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Waters. Your words, music and emotions have helped shape my life.
23.01.2021: Listening. Crying. Because it's so beautiful. But also as the lyrics haven't lost their meaning - unfortunately. Will mankind ever lear to appreciate life on this planet?
brought me to tears as ever as 30 years ago while i listened to this song for the first time as a teenager...and i think of all those good things that we hace left undone....
The Final Cut for a while was my go to album in my teen years, I haven't heard this track in years.....so great to hear it again a fresh. I was 14, now I'm 52.
"As my windshield melds and my tears evaporate leaving only charcoal to defend finally I understand the feeling of the few ashes, diamonds. foe and friend we were all equal in the end." Damn you Waters. This verse is killing me for years.
it is the children I feel sorry for: Mason and Wright are / were legends also, where all four needed to be united to generate this magic. Just be thankful that they laid down such records of achievements as they did. Many would be lost without that to re-establish an equilibrium when all seems to turn to dust with the national institutions we used to revere.
Pretty sad. We're only on this planet for a very short time and people can't get along. Pride, ego & unforgiveness are what destroys a lot of great rock bands. Take divorce for example, they're more couples who are more loyal to their household pets than their own spouse (an actual HUMAN BEING), as they fight over who gets custody of a ANIMAL.
well honestly saying i don't think it's sad or painful. it's sad that 2 friends can't stand each other but from the musical aspect i think it's natural and normal that people grow differently and go different ways. if you listen to their solo works, you'll notice that they are miles away from each other. they share some threads in their music but basically they are too different. if they forced themselves to work together in a band, none of them would probably be as happy as they are now and wouldn't be able to make good music together anyways. divorce is sometimes the best solution for everyone :)
I bought it when it first came out. Dont think its a PF album, more a RW solo. Powerful lyrics for sure, but not an album on par with those from the 70's IMO. Btw Radio Chaos is probably better than this one.
@@la7dfa Agreed that it was mainly a Waters creative piece as much of the PF body of work mostly was. However the Gilmour leads on the Final cut were just as spectacularly melodic as all his prior PF work. I love this album. Kaos was a good album of course but still feel this one is much better.
@@ebay.stealth "The final cut" was the album with leftovers from The Wall. And yes Amused to death was received best of Waters solo albums by the public. For me Radio Kaos came out when I worked in the Arctic, and I had plenty of time to enjoy the album during winter. Also the music I listened to during the age of 16-20 has been inprinted as my favourites. I guess we are very receptive at that age :)
Roger was great when he was with Pink Floyd - It is so nice to see that he is STILL great! No matter whether it is from a Pink Floyd album or his own work, the result is the same. Perfection personified.
"We are one" Living is giving, Love is everything, life is to short to suffer no matter what. ♥ Roger you are one of the best things, "time and pressure makes Dimonds" forever Loved
Wow! how good is that? I've lived my life (56) living by Waters's lyrics and insight. He has never looked better and sounds as good as he does now. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting him during the RADIO KAOS tour. I know we are all sad that he had to cancel THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Please let GOD make 2021 a better year for all.
I remember listening to the album and though I didn't agree with the political message the music & this song in particular just blew me away. Glad it is finally getting the recognition it deserves
Artists can stop fear and anger. People can stop fear and anger. This song restores profoundely my soul, because keeps me aware about the mad ones, even those that live inside of myself. Thank you for making possible this kind of reflection to your public, Roger.

All of the song's on Roger's Lock Down Session album are gold! future generations will study this man like our generation studies Mozart and Beethoven.
"fuck! it was going so well. Wipe it out and start again" What a eerily poetic way to open a song about the world ending.... "It was going so well" One of my favourite songs ever. So glad Waters is finally playing it live.
I was on his concert in Berlin back in 2018 and was mind blowing experience for me.I cried a lot ,because of so many different emotions…and those tho girls ❤❤❤❤they where like a angels on the Stage.Awesome
I could die happy!! This track, one of my favourites, Roger, fuck, you STILL HAVE IT!! PLEASE I implore you to keep releasing tracks from this era. I was a 11 year old lad when I first heard you, and your music has been the soundtrack of my life ever since.
Congratulations Roger, I deeply loved this version. We must stop our ego for a moment and listen mother nature, we don't have so much time, we better start loving, we better start helping, we better start living. I really appreciate the effort, all my respect and love from Mexico City...
The true and genuine music. A breath of crisp fresh air in the suffocating omnipresence of no-talent pseudo music of today. Thank you, Roger and Pink Floyd!

Lighten up. Countries and dictators have had nuclear weapons for near 80 years. MAD actually works, believe it or not. It's when you're not afraid of retaliation, that's when you should worry.
Roger my friend just wow, you have been blowing my mind for over five decades now please never stop. This is fantastic and beautiful, words could never do my thanks to you justice.
This takes me back to a time of deep loss and despair. A Lakotah elder and friend took me into the lodge, where he drummed and sang a "tear wiping" song...just he and I, two men who had both known great pain, in healing ceremony together.

My Old Man was part of the Winter Line assaults, at least one of the major offensives at Monte Cassino (I believe there were four) and, maybe, Anzio - although he was never very forthcoming about the details of his experiences during the Italian Campaign (understandably). It's possible he was away from the slaughter at Anzio or passed through after the worst was over. Nevertheless, I often imagine them, just as a kind of reverie on my part, crossing each others' paths. Maybe a nod, a salute. One, my Dad, goes on to a life, a career, a family - albeit with undeniable PTSD. He made it out in one piece, more or less. Mr. Waters Snr. did not. Terribly tragic and so arbitrary. Anzio was an absolute shitstorm.
WW2 was a just war, as wars go - but it was still War.
Nuclear "deterrence" (M.A.D) cannot be called "War", not in the sense of ordinary language uses of the term. It is macabre, deadly, cold, and rational game theory.
This is the paradox of reason, the critique of Enlightenment - that you can reason your way to insanity.
Enough of my ramblings. Just thinking of Dad, after that song.
I can listen to Roger's voice forever. It makes me cry sometimes, when I lay in the dark listening, because it has a way of "transporting" me to the past.
Instant LEGENDS! All the musicians, especially the girls are now instant legends. They will be remembered and discussed in the world of music and pink floyd years to come.
I hope & wish we live to see that!
Roger Waters is a rock legend and activist. To him the two are one and the same. Love, love, love and admire him!
I'm a doc with docs w/o borders, Palestine, Afghanistan ,I'm taking care of them. Inshallah the kids will be like like me. The last refugees

Sadly this song's message is still relevant after so many years. The spirit of Pink Floyd still shines after so many decades. Magical.
"And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come."
The spirit of Roger Waters still shines!
@@whoppanmallitt2094 exactly. Dave and Nick had had enough and no Rick. Hardly the Floyd by then
It's true that the world has gone crazy, everything is turned upside down, literally on its head. Someone is setting the world on fire, pursuing shallow goals for which innocent people pay.
Thank you for your conscious presence, I am grateful for your sober voice on this and many other matters.
“The Final Cut” my 2nd favorite album right behind “The Wall”. Roger your a genius!
You're
I love the Final Cut!!
He is a genius....agreed 100%
Sameeee
Jelle Mier there’s always someone
The Final Cut is a criminally underrated album.
Agree broo...it`s a materpiece!!!
The Final Cut is the hero I go to in heavy hours for catharsis.
That was a horrible album.. Just my option
You're correct about one thing. It is just your opinion. 😉
@@user-wk2qp8cp8x if you were latin american you would understand how the final cut is emancipatory and illuminated within the context of south america
A great song from a great guy. Damn, gave me goose bumps. Everyone is so good at what they do and those backup singers were really awesome.
Those girls... AMAZING...CHILLS ALL OVER.
They make it look so easy.
Sr. Roger Gorge Waters you grow old like the finest wines, oooh...yes! LOVE TOUR MUSIC AND YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS. Is there a man like him anymore?
Он просто никого не боится...
“Button your lip and don’t let the shield slip” must be next.
Definitive music, definitive recording, definitive musicianship.
Perfect.
...paranoid eyes...❤
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
the gunners dream
The FInal Cut was my favorite album for decades. The depth, the pain, the passion. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Waters. Your words, music and emotions have helped shape my life.
Essa é uma música que sempre quis ouvir em um DVD ao vivo.É um presente para mim e para mim e todos os fãs. Obrigado Roger
Final cut. ...esse álbum é muito bom
Ele tocou em Salvador ao vivo. Eu estava lá
What an exquisite man •his lyrics •his voice everything l heard him live and it was magical
23.01.2021: Listening. Crying. Because it's so beautiful. But also as the lyrics haven't lost their meaning - unfortunately. Will mankind ever lear to appreciate life on this planet?
Watching the sunset listening. Love and Blessings 🌻 we've got this 🌠
Probably not, unfortunately
Probably not, unfortunately
brought me to tears as ever as 30 years ago while i listened to this song for the first time as a teenager...and i think of all those good things that we hace left undone....
Same feelings here! Heard it here in Russia on a magnetic tape back in those days.
Same to me.
The Final Cut for a while was my go to album in my teen years, I haven't heard this track in years.....so great to hear it again a fresh. I was 14, now I'm 52.
I’m now 53 and remember listening at night in college to the final cut with a 12 pack! Magical
Time flies... :-(
"As my windshield melds
and my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally I understand the feeling of the few
ashes, diamonds.
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end."
Damn you Waters. This verse is killing me for years.
In the end nothing will matter at all if we destroy ourselves with nuclear catastrophe. It doesn't matter who you were we're all equal in the end
"The Sun is in the east, even though the day is done"
Water and Gilmour is the more painful divorce musically i've seen
Lennon and McCartney was some bad shit too.
it is the children I feel sorry for: Mason and Wright are / were legends also, where all four needed to be united to generate this magic.
Just be thankful that they laid down such records of achievements as they did. Many would be lost without that to re-establish an equilibrium when all seems to turn to dust with the national institutions we used to revere.
Pretty sad. We're only on this planet for a very short time and people can't get along. Pride, ego & unforgiveness are what destroys a lot of great rock bands. Take divorce for example, they're more couples who are more loyal to their household pets than their own spouse (an actual HUMAN BEING), as they fight over who gets custody of a ANIMAL.
Yes, heart breaking .....
well honestly saying i don't think it's sad or painful. it's sad that 2 friends can't stand each other but from the musical aspect i think it's natural and normal that people grow differently and go different ways. if you listen to their solo works, you'll notice that they are miles away from each other. they share some threads in their music but basically they are too different. if they forced themselves to work together in a band, none of them would probably be as happy as they are now and wouldn't be able to make good music together anyways. divorce is sometimes the best solution for everyone :)
Back up singers sound like more than two, they sound like a whole choir. Angelic.
Very well!
Still here we are, you from there playing, and we from here listening to you. We're all together again. Peace & Love
Love this song. The Final cut is a ridiculously underrated album.
I bought it when it first came out. Dont think its a PF album, more a RW solo. Powerful lyrics for sure, but not an album on par with those from the 70's IMO. Btw Radio Chaos is probably better than this one.
@@la7dfa Agreed that it was mainly a Waters creative piece as much of the PF body of work mostly was. However the Gilmour leads on the Final cut were just as spectacularly melodic as all his prior PF work. I love this album. Kaos was a good album of course but still feel this one is much better.
Yrs...alll
@@la7dfa I think Amused to death is the best. I always thought of this album was full of unused tracks from the Wall? could be wrong
@@ebay.stealth "The final cut" was the album with leftovers from The Wall. And yes Amused to death was received best of Waters solo albums by the public.
For me Radio Kaos came out when I worked in the Arctic, and I had plenty of time to enjoy the album during winter. Also the music I listened to during the age of 16-20 has been inprinted as my favourites. I guess we are very receptive at that age :)
Roger was great when he was with Pink Floyd - It is so nice to see that he is STILL great! No matter whether it is from a Pink Floyd album or his own work, the result is the same. Perfection personified.
Pink floyd was great when Roger was in. Since he quit, Pinkfloyd is just brainless...
I froze and stopped what I was doing when I first heard this song. Roger Waters is a genius. A poet ahead of his time. It’s such a beautiful song.
"We are one" Living is giving, Love is everything, life is to short to suffer no matter what. ♥
Roger you are one of the best things, "time and pressure makes Dimonds" forever Loved
Roger Waters e seus fabulosos músicos em suas casas, cantando exclusivamente para nós do RUclips. Thank you Roger!
Those Backing Singers are awesome - spot on !!!
They are, aren't they! Awesome indeed!
I think they add perfection to the vocals. That allows Roger to have his character voice stand out more. Rough vocals combined with sweet fills.
They form the core of the band Lucius
@@frank1701b - Cheers - checking them out now
The Sax is pretty awesome as well
Wow! how good is that? I've lived my life (56) living by Waters's lyrics and insight. He has never looked better and sounds as good as he does now. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting him during the RADIO KAOS tour. I know we are all sad that he had to cancel THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Please let GOD make 2021 a better year for all.
I remember listening to the album and though I didn't agree with the political message the music & this song in particular just blew me away. Glad it is finally getting the recognition it deserves
Jess & Holly stunning as always.
Was gonna ask if that was them.
The epitome of perfect harmony
Where is the dog ?
"Finally, I understand the feelings of the few" Roger Waters. final cut the best RW album
Amused to death
@@peterwright5249 It's all subjective but yes I agree.. my favorite is Amused To Death!
Technically the Final Cut is a Floyd album.
@@practicalwerewolf Correct.
Thank you for 45 years of music that touches my soul with every note and word.
Artists can stop fear and anger. People can stop fear and anger. This song restores profoundely my soul, because keeps me aware about the mad ones, even those that live inside of myself. Thank you for making possible this kind of reflection to your public, Roger.
Such a beautiful voice. If I close my eyes, he his voice has not changed over all these years. It got even better
Final Cut is such a masterpiece.
Oh Maggie, Maggie, what have we done?
my favorite
now its a masterpiece, but i clearly remember it not being such a masterpiece even about 15 years ago lol
Jaon Cnaiogioli ruclips.net/video/p42XGjOgwL0/видео.html
@@sleepalaska It has always been a masterpiece. People are just butthurt over Gilmour and how he sued the label so they dismiss his best work.

Ironically, more and more people are now suffering from Neurological conditions, where ones own immune system, fights against you.
A metaphor that is now reality on all levels.
Sorry for the pessimistic comment, but i gotta keep it real 😃.
Two points here.
1.Earth, gaia, etc as a person or goddess, cosmic entity like EGO. And humans and others as parasites.
2. Unimind, all the brains in the world part of a large collective consciousness.
It's called the great awakening.
@@danrazART you said words but I failed to triangulate your two points to one of reference. Unless you were cryptically referring to the collective machine brain of AI
@@frogthefrog the government fights against us causing inner turmoil and convinces us to do the very things that breakdown our immune systems.
All of the song's on Roger's Lock Down Session album are gold! future generations will study this man like our generation studies Mozart and Beethoven.
I didn’t know this was now all on a CD - now on its way to me from Amazon! Thanks for making me aware.
This is absolutely my fav song on TFC, and one of my all-time favourites of PF
"fuck! it was going so well. Wipe it out and start again"
What a eerily poetic way to open a song about the world ending.... "It was going so well"
One of my favourite songs ever. So glad Waters is finally playing it live.
Brilliant Roger. Thank you. The backup singers sing like angels.
They appear to totally connect to the song with their souls.
Check them out on their own (Lucius). They're incredible
@@SWBStX yep ! ruclips.net/video/spGHO9d5T2s/видео.html
yall better start thinking of the message they are saying... rather than just tunage ; )
Probably when you're Roger Waters, you can rustle up some top talent for "back up". ;)
I was on his concert in Berlin back in 2018 and was mind blowing experience for me.I cried a lot ,because of so many different emotions…and those tho girls ❤❤❤❤they where like a angels on the Stage.Awesome
Roger... The soul of Pink Floyd.
Simply said and profoundly true
Roger was the mind, david was the heart, Rick was the soul, and nick was the body.
I think Roger was both heart and soul -- but the others were indispensable too.
@@conormurphy4328 very well said
What's about Syd Barret?
One of the most underrated songs Roger has ever written IMHO.
The Final Cut is one of the most underrated albums ever written... it is also one of the best Pink Floyd albums - my favourite!
@@Eduardoo720 final cut was the wall didn't cut it scenarios Roger is a proper Virgo ♍ lol
Obsessed by this song and the 2 angels singing
They are Lucius! Check their work out.. Freaking amazing. Perfect for a Pink Floyd concert right? Hint Hint!
You are right David they are !!! Do you mean they should perform a Pink Floyd concert by themselves?
Роджер, Вы честный и благородный человек! Многая лета Вам
Roger...You are truly Our magnificent Messenger to the masses Here & Now ...........
Now please do "The Gunner's Dream"! Hell, just do the entire Final Cut album.
Yes, please!!!!!!
@@trukkertim88 that will be Amazing
the b side version ! shell shocked loonatic like !
I could die happy!! This track, one of my favourites, Roger, fuck, you STILL HAVE IT!! PLEASE I implore you to keep releasing tracks from this era. I was a 11 year old lad when I first heard you, and your music has been the soundtrack of my life ever since.
Amen!!! Do "The Final Cut"!!!
Please!!!
Congratulations Roger, I deeply loved this version. We must stop our ego for a moment and listen mother nature, we don't have so much time, we better start loving, we better start helping, we better start living.
I really appreciate the effort, all my respect and love from Mexico City...
The true and genuine music. A breath of crisp fresh air in the suffocating omnipresence of no-talent pseudo music of today. Thank you, Roger and Pink Floyd!

I just started listening to The Final Cut yesterday. Such an underrated album.
It's my favourite Floyd album and it was Rogers last pink Floyd album before they broke up
Hold on to your hat, Red Star Radio --- you have a long trip ahead of you! Mine is 38 years of listening to TFC and I haven't found the end yet!
In the corner of some foreign field the gunner sleeps tonight...
Not now john is my fav!
@@arnoldskit ...Bingo!
Gave me chills all these years later. Beautiful version. The girls are so angelic. Thank you Roger
"How f#*king good was that" ?
F#*KING GOOD... Thank you indeed.
What now
@@AndrewBooker-gc4fe I don't know. All we can do is listen again and again and again... So awesome man.
i enjoy playing over this ,on my piano thank you Roger may you live a thousand years
there was no need to say how good was that ,we know it was a great job ,
Oh!! The message in this song is so deep, I feel i wanna cry.
What a great Human Soul you are Roger, deeply thank you for all you share of you!!
Awesome. Hope The Midnight Close does not Strike Midnight. Sad for Humanity tho.
Lighten up. Countries and dictators have had nuclear weapons for near 80 years. MAD actually works, believe it or not. It's when you're not afraid of retaliation, that's when you should worry.
timeless masterpiece by the master himself👍
.. indeed ..
Roger my friend just wow, you have been blowing my mind for over five decades now please never stop. This is fantastic and beautiful, words could never do my thanks to you justice.
This takes me back to a time of deep loss and despair. A Lakotah elder and friend took me into the lodge, where he drummed and sang a "tear wiping" song...just he and I, two men who had both known great pain, in healing ceremony together.
Fan for life, but it is amazing that Roger today sounds as good as he ever has at any point in his career. He is pure genius.
Actually his voice has gotten better with age.
In the bottom of our hearts we felt the final cut
As the windshield melts and my tears evaporate, leaving only charcoal to defend
Classic Roger
As beutiful it sounds, I fail to understand what it means. Can you enlighten me?
@Eivind Rockland our friend roger has been signing about the atomic bomb for the last 40 years, it’s gonna happen as he would say.
Roger really needs to move on, change the channel Dad .
Simply amazing. Purely perfect,beautiful,emotional and haunting. God Bless Roger Waters and Friends.
