- Released in 1983, "The Final Cut" is the title track from Pink Floyd's album The Final Cut.
Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals 2018 Remix - Dolby Atmos’ on Blu-ray out now: PinkFloyd.lnk.to/AnimalsBluRay
Collector’s Edition of The Dark Side Of The Moon on crystal clear vinyl out now: pinkfloyd.lnk.to/TDSOTMUVVinyl
The Final Cut is an anti-war concept album, who Roger Waters alone is credited for writing. The music explores what Waters regards as the betrayal of fallen British servicemen-such as his father-who during the Second World War sacrificed their lives in the spirit of a post-war dream.

"And if I show you my dark side, will you still hold me tonight? And if I open my heart to you and show you my weak side, what would you do? " This makes me cry in such a beautiful way
Amen brother! X
Such an interesting way to talk about intimacy and vulnerability. Adding into all the back ground noise many of us might have. The added layer of rock star adding to the shadows. "... would you sell your story to rolling stone?" Such a sad song on many levels, yet it gives me hope? Love how music can do that.
Would you take the children away and leave me alone ..yep she did that 🥴🙈..
@@phillylarkin.s1930Oh...
❤ on joue tous dans une grande tragédie derrière l amour que l'on porte à nos enfants il y toujours de grande déceptions
This song is criminally underrated
So true
This is a jewel!
It is
100% true
Like WW2
About three years ago this song saved me. "I never had the nerve to make the final cut." But a part of me always died.
I'm glad you're still around to enjoy some Pnk Floyd. take care my friend!
Maybe the part of you that died was the part that wanted/needed too. Glad you're still with us friend
Glad you didn't do it
Pink Floyd is our saviour 👍🏻👏🏻🤗
I feel you, me too.
Roger has such a raw and emotional voice, such a very underrated singer
Run Like Hell 1980
I really love Roger's voice, too....when I listen to Pink Floyd always look more for Roger's voice and interpretation....awesome!!
Not by me.
@@baggrat thats him and David tho right? And if I remember correctly Dave has more verses than Rog. Oh well to hell with both of em. Lol
Who u derrates him? He is famous singer
Roger is a god damn genius.
One of the lasts...
The best songwriter in history. He represents all troubled minds everywhere.
He was the heart and soul of Pink Floyd. Once he left. Tell me, what happened to the band.
@SuperBking1340 "everyone I disagree with is a communist REEEE" what a pig you are.
Goddamn, always leave it up to that *one* guy to bring politics into something
I still cry listening to this, for some reason this album touched my soul for that, I will be eternally grateful:)
You're a freak.
@@Frip36 dont be a dick mate.......
The guitar solo at 3:26 does it for me.
Shine on sir
Absolutely. Its a classic álbum that mix Rock opera and classic music. Not for dummies
Roger's voice is so fierce and the emotions so raw.
Great INFJ
@@Coneman3 He's an INTJ though
Waters had never been a confident vocalist and, on one occasion, after repeated studio takes, Waters noticed him writing on a notepad. Losing his temper, he demanded to know what Kamen was doing, only to find that Kamen had been writing, "I Must Not Fuck Sheep" repeatedly.[2][19] Waters said that "a lot of that aggravation came through in the vocal performance, which, looking back, really was quite tortured."[20]
It is a shame he is such an A hole
This was one of my dad's favourite songs and everytime i hear it i start crying. Miss you Dad, love you loads
Seeing so many comments here, about how this song links them with loved ones that have passed on - it's bittersweet.
I get a lump in my throat, & a tear in my eye, everything I hear this. It was my father's favourite too.
Me too 😢😔
My father also LOOOVED this. So beautiful.
Same…
Think of the Dad on his own children all grown up and left home that Dad built for them soothed by all the tears of joy and pain his tears today are very real
What a masterpiece
The final cut... ironically Roger's face, half hidden in dim light , is the last time he appears somewhere as a member of the band
apart from the 2005 reunion
Live aid 2005: guess im just a loser now
That's clearly utterly on purpose. He knew the album was the Final Cut for the band, and the Final Straw for him because the rest of the boys couldn't deal with him anymore, and for good reason. Not even a Pink Floyd album, first of all. It's a Waters solo album. Anyway, Roger's brother in law directed the videos, so there's that as well.
Yea he quit. His ego took him out
@@thiscorrosion900 Roger all over, that's why I love it😏
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
Dial the combination, open the priest hole
And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut
¡Muchas gracias! 💫
Nuhun nya
Thanks a lot bro🥰
Asante sana ndugu.
Awesome lyrics.
Crying myself and i dont know why..masterpiece!
"I can barely define the shape of this moment in time" was the last message I sent to my best friend before she died of cancer. This was 'our song'. ❤️
❤️
God that’s so sad. Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry
Thinking of your friendship : GOOD for you both! Sorry for your loss but - everyone who reads your tribute keeps it...alive in a way.
I'm sure it meant a lot to them James.
Some things can't be expressed in words, like that.
Easily the best song of the album
What about Not Now John
Nah, the best is Not Now John (IMHO) ... but this one is well done
no no nooo its for sure The Gunner Dream
The Post War Dream
Angelo Martino also a fantastic song
What a masterpiece, pink Floyd fan since seventies, 61 years old now and I can’t stop playing this one every once a while !!!
This is hands down my top Pink Floyd album. Turn out the lights, light a candle, and get ready to have your soul ripped thin. Absolute masterpiece!
Same here, it used to be my least favourite but now it’s the best
I've always liked it better than The Wall. Just great from start to finish.
Here here ❤️💥
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
@@markthomas5215- Yeah, cheers for that. Enormously wrong, but thanks.
The Final Cut is an extremely underrated album.
It is barely a Pink Floyd album.
A deeply personal Roger Waters project. That succeeds over time beyond its immediate emotional response.
Wonderful guitar work by David Gilmour.
It's raw. Very beautifully heartbreaking. If there is such a thing it succeeded. And continues to.
Could anybody love you or is it just a crazy dream..... This song always brings a tear and assures me that I'm unique and loved by someone and i have to live another day...
Who is the guy in this video ? Is it Roger himself ?
@@susanblake850 .... I read it somewhere and it said ... Roger Waters
@@susanblake850 Of course it's Roger Waters! Even partially obscured it is obviously him. Have you ever seen him? Are you Helen Keller? ...Hello...click...why does he keep hanging up? It's a man answering......
Possibly the greatest album ever
Roger's voice has always moved something deep inside me since I was a child, so emotional and painful in a beautiful and melancholical way... Its weird but its magical too. Love u Roger, Pink Floyd best band ever. ❤️
Linda essa canção
For me his voice and tunes are magic!! They remain "printed" in the soul. It's impossible to replace.
Yeah - but he is a globalist.
I prefer Gilmour's voice. To me, personally, Waters' voice sounds less melodious, I don't know, more shrill. But, finally, everyone has their tastes.
@@marksc5485 Ikr, but because it's more shrill is so touching. I love listening to both.
I don't think Pink Floyd ever made a song with such an emotional depth as this one. Roger really pours out his soul. The most dead on serious song in their catalog by far!
Concordo totalmente.
The solo is just... words fail me.
Underrated album.
ThisIs ReadyMade no !!!!!!
hi will
But still shit
It’s a good album because David plays guitar on it.
Most definitely. And ignore the trolls; people that can't formulate a simple sentence explaining their point of view doens't deserve attention.
I think it's Roger's best work, along with Amused to Death.
the best Pink Floyd album for songs,
if i show you my darkside will you still hold me tonight?
i really want to say that to my partner
That would be an easy no
This album has absolutely nothing to with Pink Floyd. He (Roger) gave The rest of Pink Floyd the Wall.
My favourite Pink Floyd album. Each of my 4 kids spent their early months asleep on my shoulder listening to this. They and I still listen to this with love.
,,,,yes,,,,first I've heard someone else admit this,,,my top 10 of all time,,,,,,epic.....my 3 kids all know this too.!....peace,,,pat..land o' lakes,wi..usa.
Me too!!!
I adore meddle but final cut too
Signs of a great father.
Dad of the Year!!
Waters is easily one of the best lyricists ever. In that regard he's operating on a different level to the vast majority of artists.
The Final Cut, one of the best albums ever made !!
Honestly I think this is one of the weaker Floyd albums. Still good, but not as good as others
Best album they have hands down
Best unofficial roger waters solo album.. but not one of pink floyds better sellers... although i loved this album!...
It's my go to
@@turbo6837 not a chance
This and 'The gunners dream'... best songs on the album
Both are amazing.
Concordo
Anyone else hear comfortably numb at 1:21. Great album, this and Animals are sometimes very much overlooked.
I always think that to glad someone else noticed
@@nickh5771 Brother!
@@mrdrifter3925 yes sir
My personal favorite is The Division Bell. Some of the lyrics on that album hit me in a way that is only relatable by someone who has been in that exact place.
Even though Roger's ego was overwhelming what Pink Floyd as a collective had always represented, this is very likely the greatest song he ever wrote.
Greatest song he wrote? What about Time?
Fck time
Echoes was his best song he ever wrote, ever since then he gradually messed himself up
This is definitely better than Time.
What ego? That he was the greatest lyricist of all time? He was right.
The amount of pure feeling and emotion Roger puts in his vocal is unmatched.
The Wall, The Final Cut and The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking... the Waters Masterpiece Trilogy.
Just read an article that listed 100 songs to give a person goosebumps. This made the list.
"Or would you take me home?" NEVER fails to make me cry. Never.
great song + album + band

>Good Album
Pick one
Mxmaxter its not their best but its still a good album
If it wasn't just about daddy dead maybe it could be a good album

I can't even begin to tell how much I love this song
This song and album made me spiral into a suicidal depression in my teens and it still leaks into my brain 15 years later and that's why I'm here
Hang in there. I have lost 3 family members that way and many friends. I held a gun in my mouth, pulling the trigger to see how far it would go before the hammer fell. I crashed a car at 110 MPH without a seatbelt and I am still here. I still think about it now and again, but I have also been through it and know what it does to those who love you.
Kj, thanks for your story. Max, bless you my friend.
The Wall did it for me. I've not smoked a joint since.
That's awful, however I'd be wary of blaming all of that on the music, and not to discount your earlier suffering at all.
I listened to all this music for years in my teens and even pre-teens,
and I never had it affect me to that point, although in ones teens this type of music can imprint and mark you, no doubt, and I have also had a history of suffering from depression, anxiety, panic, etc. on and off for decades. For me, much of this music is cathartic, The Final Cut should be like therapy once you get through it a few times. It's supposed to be exorcising all this bad, negative shit, and focusing the "protagonist's" anger about war and his father (as in The Wall) and the current (1982) Falklands state of affairs, which sucked, power mad world leaders who have forgotten the lessons of WWI and II, Not Now John is about being on the lowest rung of the business end of a declining British Empire
and industry and competing with superior forces that are now bound and out to destroy you, and then the ending, Two Suns
in the Sunset is about an apparent nuclear apocalypse, but it's clear by the song's end (which is upbeat!) that it's in fact, a false apocalypse. It's just
the protagonist dwelling on what could happen, versus what does in fact happen in reality. I hope that helps. The Final Cut is a dark album, but it's supposed
to be making sense of, and focusing its anger upon, very legitimate targets that Waters as the author was focusing on at the time, that humanity saw the world
nearly decimated in WWII and the Cold War and still didn't seemingly learn any lessons from this, and some of it is
leftovers or continuation from The Wall. The Wall isn't a load of laughs, either, really, which Waters admits to nowadays, but it is cathartic. I wouldn't take either
too seriously, though they are serious albums in intent. They are both draining albums emotionally, at times, I readily admit.
I hope this helps you somehow. I recommend balancing it out with some upbeat pop music afterwards! Listen to some China Crisis...hehe.
When I listen to music I feel the emotion of the music, even when I go to the symphony and there are no words I can cry. It doesn't matter what it's about it's the emotion behind it. I don't listen to music much anymore because of it's effect on me. When I was a teen many, many years ago though, I loved music and dwelled in that, and absorbed it all.
This song is heartbreaking, and that's why I love it. Roger Waters lyrics always express emotions I am too scared to show, I am terrified I will be judged and hated. Thank god for this album, I hope I get to tell him that in person one day 💖
Well said. I echo that.
Totally agree. It takes guts to be so open💪♥
Finally, Pink floyd's label decided to upload the songs and earn some cheese off them. Good for them. Awesome for us.
This song is stunning in its emotionality....
As a bereaved, confused 16 year old lad struggling to make sense of many things, this album and this song spoke into my soul. Nearly 40-years later, it still does.
Are you ok buddy. If you need a chat we are here to help. Much love from the pink floyd fanbase
Me, as well. The past 58 years have been a confusing and exhausting struggle.
Every time I played this song tears running down my check...its sad. 😪😪
It gets you like that doesnt it? "Thought i oughta bare my naked feelings"
This song kills me!
It's a masterpiece!!!
Absolute masterpiece. And probably the most underrated floyd album. Definitely on my personal top3
fuc off watersheep
Just curious, what are your top 3 albums?
@@MrDude200001 Top3 overall or PF's top3? Same answer either way. 1.DSOTM 2.The final cut 3.WYWH.
Oh and live at Pompeii is an absolute fav of mine too. Fourth on my list of favorites.
What's your top 3?
My #1 is same., #2 WYWH and #3 The Animals
Obscured by clouds is the most underrated for sure. Or even the division bell
When u hear songs like this you realise how much pink floyd missed Roger waters
That's what happens if you put a session musician in charge of a bunch of demi Gods! Gilmore is a proficient guitarist, but he needed to be kept in his box! To quote Steven Wilson 'music of rebellion makes you want to rage, but it's made by millionaires who are nearly twice your age'. Spookily, he's no different. Ego is like Kali. It gives and takes in equal measure.
@@garrysweet873 "Guilmor and the box", thats exactly what I thought today. This guy is really annoying
@@garrysweet873 😮
Two songs from this album struck a nerve so deep when they first came out, that I have left instructions that they are to be played at my funeral.
The Gunner's Dream- how I feel about the world.
The Final Cut- how I feel about me.
Both are amazing and awesome
Makes cry
A masterpiece...
*me
So many people write off or dislike this album but when I finally listened to it I was deeply affected by it. I think it is one of the most emotionally raw and engaging albums they ever made. It's too bad Roger left after this, in my opinion the band was never as good without him.
It certainly wasn't because he was the main songwriter, especially of the hits, and the driving force. The record company had to bring in outside help to make the later albums sound kind of like Floyd. I never liked those later songs because to me they didn't really sound like Floyd, just some lame copy. Just never thought those songs were very good. It seemed that Roger and Dave could not work together any more so splitting probably made sense. Not like the band did much after Roger left. Two albums over how many decades?
I think the reason for The Final Cuts lack of luster because it followed The Wall! And the Wall was still making tons of noise! Somewhere in the mix they also came out with The Wall movie! The Final Cut was put a side! I bought the final cut out of curiosity of what was on the follow up of tbe greatest rock album ever released!
@@jeffvikings6240 .😊😅😅😅😅
The band indeed was no longer Pink Floyd after he left. More like Pink Dave. Or David Floyd. Oh, they cynically (and financially) carried the name, but nothing more. I've always been a huge fan of Gilmour, but the more I researched the rift with Roger, the more I saw the break as resulting from the resentment of a passive man against a more dynamic one, without whom the passive man would have been just another excellent guitarist amongst a whole generation of excellent guitarists. And even without David's signature style, and Rick Wright's keys (which diminished in quality over time), Roger's solo albums have much more of a Floydian "edge" than Pink Dave's.
Agree, immense body of work... amazing emotionally, lyrically and musically
This is perfection. This song reaches the deepest well in my soul.
,,,,yes......and brings up a cup of life every time I listen.!...how could this NOT be played on radio,,,and still here a.b.i.t.w.yet,overplayed!..😯.(not underscoring the wall)...imo......peace,pat...land o' lakes,wi..usa.
Y si te muestro mi lado obscuro, ¿me abrazarias está noche? Y sí te abro mi corazón ¿Que harías tú? 🎶🎶🎶😢 💜
Jorge Luis De Santiago este album es una joya, lastima que a otros no les gusta, son sus gustos, pero para mi the final cut , a momentary lapse of reason y the divison bell son los discos unos de los albums mas completos de pink floyd...
😭
Totalmente de acuerdo Fer, un discazo.
@@sentimientofatal no te olvides de Animals ese si es un discaso
@@sentimientofatal the wall?
this song has gotten me through some of the darkest times in my life, thank you pink floyd
It still makes me goosebumps. That is my song. It is so pure, so incredible good. I have no words to describe it. It is just beautiful. I never had the nerve.
Glad for you that you never had the nerve to do what the lyrics are referring to.
@@rudolphfenech6091 You're absolutely right.
3:52 That fucking part, it just CRUSHES my soul. Why that one lick in particular is so poignant to me in this solo? Really, that part is the definition of pain...
Because Gilmour can make a guitar sing like no other ever has. More words in one note than 99% of bands can say in a lifetime.
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
I newer heard something like this before ,its Epic poety about true love
Gilmour a very talented guitarist he is, could never think of something like this to write..
Comfortably Numb pt. 2
It was originally intended to be in The Wall
I love Roger Waters voice singing from a calm soft voice into a high almost breaking point. I'd never heard someone emulates him. His voice is so heartbreaking to hear especially on the Final Cut.
Absolutely cosmic. Timeless. Surreal. Takes you on a trip to another place in time from another place in time until now. Visual art... audible art, lyrical art... It sure has been great sharing air with these incredible artists less those that passed over the past 40 plus years.
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide...damn.
How do we pull ourselves out..
Art in its finest form.
I remember the first time hearing the guitar solo in this song. David does a slight tremolo bar dive and it took my heart with it. So beautiful, so heartfelt.
Music Is All about memories
Roger's lyrics fill or create holes in your soul. Very few have this gift. Brilliant lyricist ❤ and for this reason, he remains on repeat when I need.
The best Album Pink Floyd
Indeed.
The Final Cut is a good album but it’s not their best album by a long shot
When you know. You know
This song kept me from snuffing it at 14 when my father’s abuse was at its worst. I’ve always wondered if Roger had come similarly close to suicide or did his ability to write about his pain keep him centered?
Hope it made you stronger. Enjoy the music. Sounds like you had a shitty deal.
Sorry you went through abuse, mate. Hope this gives you reason to live.
I think this album was aimed at his father, for dying in ww2.
I think. That's what I've read in a few articles,, and nobody questions it.
Take care man.
I have a very similar story. Now I comming back after 10 years going though a breakup
Pink Floyd helped me cope a lot at 16 too. Thank you , Pink Floyd, they don’t make them like you anymore.
Been a die hard Floyd fan since I was 12 years old. Of all their albums/countless & timeless masterpieces, The Final Cut (the entire album) is right up there at the top. Rogers farewell, an end to an era of absolute genius. David, Richard, and Nick held their own fine afterwards, but the absence of Roger is extremely apparent in the latter days of the groups catalogue.
The final cut album: awesome
The final cut song: awesome :)
I find it stupid how people criticize the album just because Roger waters mainly made it so what who cares just enjoy the music!
That's the reason they criticize it. They can't stand the fact that he was the creative force behind the band.
Jealous Gilmore fans.
I agree that people criticize this album because Roger Waters wrote it, but it’s not a “stupid,” criticism, as you say. People criticized the album because Roger Waters didn’t allow any other band members in to add their creativity. He wanted to be the star of the show, and although the music in this album is spectacular, Roger shouldn’t’ve prevented his band members and his friends from contributing. I can guarantee you this album would be much better if Gilmour and the rest of the band was allowed to play.
@@alek2612 Waters says that he never stopped anyone else from writing.
@@kenhernandez8128 He even said that saying that is stupid. Because you always need people to be writing for an album, multiple times.
The most underrated song ever .
The way this song compliments and serves as an unfortunate continuation from the Wall is what blew me away. There references are everywhere - "clear blue skies", "kid who had a big hallucination", his issues with his ex, repurposed chorus instrumental from Comfortably Numb, and the grand finale - "I never had the nerve to make the final cut" - which to me always related to Roger never really being able to completely tear down the wall. As many have said - and underrated masterpiece
this song is the first song I’ve ever truly fallen in love with. absolutely beautiful.
I just listened this entire lp again. Made me feel 20 something (again) and 60 something.
Please give us just one more masterpiece.
Lovely painful peace
At this point in my life, I’m only 19 and already feels like I’m a big failure. I’m trying to be okay but nothing seems to going right. I always come back to this song and cry my heart out. I’m so grateful for this song, I’m so grateful to Pink Floyd. This song means a LOT to me, a lot that i cannot explain in words.
Im 24, never quit man. Just keep going
34 here! I also have my bad days like every one of you. Keep pushing mate!
I hope at 20 and onwards you are able to see that life is a poem, a song like roger just sung. The final cut is not for us to decide. It’s the end that truly is, we have a story to write between the pages while we’re here. Life seems big, long and daunting. It’s very short. Live your life and make it all count. It’s for you and where we all came from in the end ❤ at 33 I’m just getting out of the dark. Time. They sang it for a reason I believe
@coffee 1262
Don't give up at 20 I felt the same my chosen career didn't work out my dad was bitter about this so no job after that was good enough everything I did seemed to go wrong I just give up trying in the end slept the day away listened to pink floyd seemed to have a connection with the music/lyrics finally got help for depression mainly counselling in my 30s there is light at the end of the tunnel no matter how far away it seems or hard it is to get there we sometimes need help to get there I lost 15 +years of my life to these feelings please get help Don't let these feelings rule your life
58 here. It’s been a struggle every day. Hang on.
This album....it's just incredible! This song....speaks to my soul.
This song makes me tear up a little, every single time.
When I was at school in the 80s a nerdy kid sat next to me said his fav group was Pink Floyd. The Jam/Clash/Hip Hop fan I was then literally couldn't think of anything more tedious than Pink Floyd. Years later when my circle of friends and I discovered certain 'substances', the Floyd would come on and I was the one dissenting voice going on about 'bloody hippy music'. But then, I actually listened to 'The Wall' and later on this album and was converted. That nerdy kid and my stoner mates were right and Roger Waters is a genius.
They were never hippy music. That was by a sad and unfortunate association over the earlier years by clueless stoners who kept thinking Floyd were some "space rock band"
which they never fucking were anyway, and by people who seem to need drugs to enjoy music, which I personally at least, never did. It was a very unfortunate association
that I don't believe Pink Floyd ever deserved or wanted, honestly. And by Animals, and The Wall, there is fuck all "psychedelic" about their music, really. It's nothing to with
bloody hippies. What does Floyd have to do with the likes of the Grateful Dead? NOTHING. I maintain if you need drugs to enjoy this music then something is drastically wrong.
@@thiscorrosion900 they were the resident band at the first hippy club UFO, Syd Barrett was the first acid casualty, they had a song called 'Alan's Psychedelic breakfast', I dont how to break it to you mate, they were hippies in the English tradition rather than the laid back West Coast gubbins of the Dead, etc. And I would definitely need drugs to get through those albums post Syd and pre 'Echoes', dreadful hippy nonsense. But once Roger really found his voice, and that venom matched with Dave's guitars, marvellous.
@@JeromekJerome1972 I just never thought of them that way, whatever. Then again I got into them in 1977 or so, as a kid, from Dark Side onwards, I didn't know the earlier stuff until several years later at least.
@@thiscorrosion900 I never really knew the later stuff until much later, that's why I was always biased against them as they were a stoners band to me. We both know that Roger Waters is really a punk!
@@JeromekJerome1972 True, especially by Animals he was.
I have shed a few tears listening to this highly underappreciated album and it a fitting tribute to his father.Eric fletcher waters who died at a anzio in black 44. R I P.
This is one of the select PF songs that make me cry. And it’s all good.
This album is very underrated. Both Roger & PF both went on to do good work, but neither remained as great as the sum of all the parts, when playing together.
Although it takes alot of notes from Comfortably Numb, I still personally enjoy this track and the album as a whole
Thanks for the recent music video posts!
Clearly one of their (his) best albums! Very underrated...
Ah you got me there! It's practically a Waters solo album YET my point still stands, it's really underrated
The Final Cut was supposed to be on The Wall, roughly around Nobody Home.
Andrew Parker really? I gotta try that some time
Great minds think alike! I heard Comfortably Numb in this song the first time I heard it. That's probably why I like it so much! Peace out my friend.
I have loved Floyd for 35 years since I was 15 years old, and this is one of my favourite songs/Albums of all time. That IS saying something due to their truly magnificent songs/albums...when I listened to The Wall, The Final Cut, Animals, Wish you were Here for the first time I truly thought I had been listening to these songs all of my life. And then you have Rogers solo work of Radio Kaos, The Pro's and Con's of Hitchhiking, and possibly my favourite album of all time (after The Wall) - Amused to Death. The Floyd boys have genius working through their veins. Their music has been a massive part of my teens and into adult life, so thank-you Pink Floyd. x
My favorite Pink Floyd album - severely underrated and often overlooked. Waters' vocals and Gilmours' simple but powerful solos. Love everything about this record.
First time listening to listening this song and I couldn't help but cry.
The emotion that Pink Floyd gives me is one that I can't say, but rather show you.
2020 and still A fuckin awesome album,
Never get tired of it or Rogers voice. *_*
Lots of love.
This is what music is all about it reminds me when my son was born was playing this song fell in love with Floyd's music 😊
“Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings! Thought I oughta tear the curtain down!” chills every time I hear waters’ delivery on those lines!
This whole album is something else, probably gave definition of pink floyd to the world. I am thankful that i got a chance to listen to it. Life is somehow beautiful✨
Cannot count the number of times I had been listening to this song then. After all these years I still remember the lyrics perfectly well. This album, as it can't be clearer in its title, was Pink Floyd's last album. But such a brilliant one.
I can't express Roger's voice. Many people wil not think it's a kind of beautiful voice but he who discover the unigueness like me can not deny that it's something magical and eternal beauty.
I had become a Pink Floyd fan in my teenage years, even though by that time in the late 90s they were a band before my time and I'd never heard of this album. On a trip to Mexico and walking the market I saw the CD cover front and center at some kiosk and was like "oh wow, what do we have here. A new Pink Floyd cd" and was really happy to purchase it. I listened the hell out of this album for awhile and The Final Cut was my favorite song. I haven't heard this in years, but somehow it popped into my head and so I looked it up just now. Brings back memories.
The songs on the final cut were mostly overspill from the wall album and you can see the similar themes but the album works really well as a stand alone. One of my personal favourite albums. So underrated.
"Overspill" is a diplomatic way of saying 'leftovers".
@@Frip36 not really, cos the songs chosen for the wall have a slightly different theme to the ones on the final cut which dealt with more personal matters for Roger Waters (the death of his father in the Royal Fusiliers.
@@allanmoncrieff5579 no, he's right, many song, including the title track were planned to be in The Wall
This song always reminded me of nobody home. Both musically and thematically. I wondered often if both were composed for the wall and only one got selected
@@alchapo5372 this is a mixture of what felt like Comfortably Numb and Nobody Home, but has an energy to be a powerful song on its own.
Time stands still when this song plays. Thank you PF!
Everybody is commenting on how underrated this album is. In my 50 years on this earth, I've listened to The Final Cut more than not only any other Pink Floyd album, note only more than any other Rock&Roll album, BUT, more than any other album period.
And I see the historic progress of the band, and I can see the full range of colours from Barret, later Roger and finally Gilmour. Like a prism of light, each member contributed to the band in different kinds of spectrums, a band that has to be understood throughout the years. Pink Floyd's is eternal, the manifestation of the deep consciousness of human begins. God bless them all for giving us the opportunity to deal with our pains and sufferings through the waves of music. It's the band I like the most, and glad to have the luck to hear it at "this moment in time...".
Pink Floyd have immeasurably provided solace to the soul everytime they compose a song !! Once in a lifetime music they have created over the years !
One of a big fan !
3:28 Poeticamente, esse ponto é a evolução máxima da sonoridade de Gilmour na guitarra. O próximo estágio tornaria David um bruxo, pois ele seria capaz fazer ela falar. Quase conseguiu nesse solo! Verdadeiro alquimista da guitarra!!
Parabéns! Excelente análise! Poucos entendem a profundidade dessa música.
@@luizeduardo7302 informações errada amigo. Dá um olhada nos créditos do álbum....ele participou sim e após esse trabalho eles de fato se separarm.
@Luiz Eduardo Cara... pelo amor de Deus! Profundamente desinformado. Guilmour fez este solo (aliás, tem toda a assinatura dele. Estes bands profundamente tristes são inconfundíveis. David Guilmour mesmo). O álbum foi composto e produzido por Roger Waters, mas teve a participação de Mason e Guilmour, sem os quais não poderia ser gravado como Pink Floyd. Apenas Rick Wright havia deixado a banda. Curiosidade: a canção "Not no John" que canta é Guilmour.
For me a 22 year old there's something so deep and meaningful with Rogers music
.. so unexplainable
Oh! What a memory. Opening the package of this album in a cassette with my buddies eager to listening to it. Rogers Waters poetic lyrics and David Gilmore’s enchanting guitar will remain in our heads forever. RIP Richard Wright.
Ha haa yes I remember borrowing this from my local library on cassette about 13 years old - such an album
I’ve always seen this song to be the finale of the Wall. We see Pink reluctantly confessing to his wife that he built the Wall when his father died and how he pushed her away and went insane
Thank you for making my life better with your sounds...
Right....
This album has saved my life on numerous occasions......
This song blows me away everytime
Surely one of the most underrated Pink Floyd songs
Highlights the GREAT lyric ability of Waters.. People who dismiss it love the Gilmour solos (I do also) but maybe never really understood the lyrical impact Waters always had, he made the band the complete package.
Best Floyd album ever! Only some of us get it!
