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 🥴🙈..

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

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.

You're a freak.

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

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

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'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.

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

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

,,,,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!!

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😏

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.

¡Muchas gracias! 💫

Nuhun nya

Thanks a lot bro🥰

Asante sana ndugu.

Awesome lyrics.

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.

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.

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

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

@@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.

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.

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.

Both are amazing and awesome

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.

Well said. I echo that.

Totally agree. It takes guts to be so open💪♥

Both are amazing.

Concordo

>The Final Cut >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

+Clorox Corner my favourite pink floyd themed shitposter!

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.

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.

Yea Pink floyd got me in trouble a few times in school, the worst time was a project before Columbine shooting in 99 and the teacher didn't go to grade the papers until after, whole ordeal state police came to the school and dragged me into the office. My dad asked them if they ever paid attention to Pink floyd. Everything was dropped. Be artistic she said think outside the box, I wrote a story compiling of various pink floyd songs, all of which while listening to on vinyl. You know it took days to write, and because of two idiots in Colorado I was a threat for about 5 minutes.

My mother once freaked out because I had drawn kind of a dark picture of a head and wrote "and the worms ate into his brain" on it and she felt I needed professional help lol maybe she was right. Too late now

Wow ! That crazy ?!

I am a shrink and i can assure all of you that if One guy Is sent to me by his parents for this I take them in therapy 😉

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

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.

,,,,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.

Indeed.

The Final Cut is a good album but it’s not their best album by a long shot

When you know. You know

Music Is All about memories

Gilmour a very talented guitarist he is, could never think of something like this to write..

It gets you like that doesnt it? "Thought i oughta bare my naked feelings"

It was originally intended to be in The Wall

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.

Glad for you that you never had the nerve to do what the lyrics are referring to.

@@rudolphfenech6091 You're absolutely right.

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.

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

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.

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.
