Unfortunately that will never happen because he speaks the truth all he will receive are smears. PF my favorite band now I mostly just listen to Roger because the other members joined in the smearing against him and have fundraisers for war.

How beautiful... ❤😢

tell me you didn't wait 20 years to listen to this again.

Lucid tranquility indeed FRIEND 🤘🍺. To write with this kind of honesty takes guts 👊

Choked me up bro!

It's amazing how beautiful music moves us in such a profound way. Love Rogers voice!

Soo me

It's me :)

Live long and prosper my dear friend

💓 Roger Waters You touch our Hearts!! You are Forever Pink Floyd and Sid 💓 Your Dad Would Be Very Proud of you. God Bless 😍

Thank you very much

I absolutely agree with you

The album itself is like a loop. It is very hard to listen if you don't connect inmediatly with this depressive/repressive feeling on which the album is based.

Ditto !

I completely agree. He is Pink after all

You're not alone, it amazes me how a lot of PF fans don't understand the dynamics of the band. From DSOTM onwards, these albums were all the ideas & concepts of Roger Waters. He composed most of the music. He wrote all the lyrics. People might not have liked it, but he was right when he said Pink Floyd was finished when he left.

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

I have just had the best experience of my life at a show from Roger Waters in This Is Not A Drill Tour. This is just a masterpiece from a legendary musician & the nostalgic journey was something that’ll live forever in my mind. Just an incredible piece of Artistic talent. Pure joy and an emotional experience. 🐖☝️

@@creepingbrain Even before DSOTM, he was the creative director of the band. Once Syd Barrett left, Roger steered the ship. Almost ALL of the best songs before Dark Side are either exclusively Roger's or he had a big hand in them. This includes tender ballads like "Julia Dream" and psychedelic jam numbers like "The Embryo." Without Roger, there would have been no Pink Floyd after Syd. The music produced by Gilmour's revived Floyd after Roger left is proof enough that without Roger, there is no Pink Floyd. David's ersatz Floyd was good enough when it reproduced the old classics live, but all the new material was just terrible.

Totally agree my friend 🙏👌👍

I was fortunate enough to see him do this live in Philadelphia in '85 when the album came out and Clapton did the tour with him.They played the Whole Pros and Cons Album & I fell in love w/ it. I still own the vinyl and listen to it in it's entirety several times a year. The official videos that came out were pretty bad and don't do justice to the songs, however the imagery the record provokes for me are entertaining, scary, puzzling, sad and funny & all in 42 minutes, courtesy of the genius of Waters and how he brings the story, Vocals, backing vocals, guitar work, horns, spoken word, sound effects etc all in at the right time and in just the right amount to keep you fully engaged as you try to piece together what this tale is about. Hint , best I can figure it's about: love, lust, fidelity, happiness, divorce, despair, joy, hope, confusion, anger, big rigs, diners, old Westerns, dreams, nightmares, hitchhiking, power, insecurity and a whole lot more -- so, it's about being human. Almost 40 years on and It's a fine album still.

Лучше и не скажешь! 👍

He had good teachers, Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Pete Townshend. I was at the live show in 1984 at Maple Leaf Gardens. Roger was 18 years younger back then than I am now. Eric Clapton was on the stage. The sound was everywhere. They turned that crappy hockey rink into a concert hall, and everything was super-entertaining and engaging. Even Welcome to the Machine sounded every bit Floyd without the other three guys. Interesting. And there was humour, as well. Roger even played If that night, a beautiful little acoustic number from Atom Heart Mother. One of the best shows that I have ever seen. Only Elton John and Rush could be considered better, but we are splitting hairs here.

​@Man of Tomorrow no Gilmour here

@@Giorgos906 Gilmour's good, but he's no Clapton

AyE...that Sexual Revolution with Eric playing his guitar just foopin up there..oh yeah man.....am there...# the Bitch said something mystical,,"Herro...so I stepped back on the kerb again...very COOL 😎

Sublime in its beauty! I adore Clapton on this album.

@@floydfan7511 Eric can be your beauty but not his guitar playing. Here he's just a guest within.

@@francoisbenoit5335 Possibly Andy Fairweather Low(e) playing guitar.

@@qwer12324567 that's Clapton here

You’re bullshitting. That was CLAPTON? Wow I thought it was utter shit expecting a more Gilmour like solo. No disrespect to Clapton he’s a god but this truly shows how lost Gilmour and Waters are without each other.

Same here ! One of his best songs IMO

SO DO I. ITS THE SOUL TAKING IT ALL IN.

You know I am from Sakhalin, Russia and I love the song ....)

You'd god damn top y'self if you realized the truth of our actual existence , jeeze, a bit tearful . I can almost understand how folk don't quite get the horror behind this track. Good job "they" do put barium in the water.

Michael Mikey yeah I agree with you wonderful 👍🌹😺💖

not a great voice but the way he sings with all his heart and passion is what makes it good

Me too

Me to brother

No yori

PURE!!!

gilmore is't to shabby either. where the heck is gilmore.

@@jenamirgholi6004 Oh. My. God. Let roger have a solo career without mentioning Gilmour & the rest of Pink Floyd. Its getting so tiring.

@@qteep6112 a solo career is awsome. i wish people would stop being so reactive and mean. when people get along- work together instead of competing there would't be so much hate. That is all i am saying. Have a peaceful day rf.

Yeah, I think it is indeed.

your not wrong it is beautiful.

totally agreed....this piece is a pure gem, a real MASTERPIECE and RW is a genius!!!

I shed a tear every time I hear this song.

My favourite song of all times.

racking my brain...cramped...lol...what song is that from?

Echoes!

Great reference ... amazing song.

John Grunwell and do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land

Something stirs and something tries and starts to climb towards the light

This is the 21st Century, so of course there is something deeply wrong ... with all of us. Even you. And that Teddy Bear over there. Those two girls on the swings. The bunny with the Glock ... in every stranger's thighs.

This is really horrible. You must have been dropped on your head out of the rig.

@@Cirathos Ur opinion sucks.

@@gabekyle260 So does yours.

Crawler. His Will is written.

❤❤❤

A volte vorrei addormentarmi con la musica...ma se non ascolto questa meraviglia, mi sento incompleta. Vorrei ringraziarlo davvero, con un abbraccio, uno sguardo, un sorriso, una lacrima. Senza Roger, che cazzo di vita sarebbe? Senza i suoi richiami alla consapevolezza, mi chiedo se riuscirei a sopportare il dolore di questo bellissimo e terribile mondo. Come posso dirti grazie, Roger? Resto umana!

The only cons from this is he's egocentric side of himself. But I don't blame him, he's a genius anyways

I'm feeling you brother

Yep.

The exact same happened for me...

Welcome Jonathan.

Me Too! I imagine there is a great multitude of folks this song has helped on their respective awakenings.This song was instrumental in mine when I revisited it after about 25 years. I am a lifelong fan and had the record in vinyl when first released in my early teens. I only wish I got the message back then but it is true..."better late than never!"

Me too

This album is part of my DNA. For want of a better word.....my soul.

I m 56 and still listening to that masterpiece from morocco with love Roger waters

Me too I'm 44 now ..and life gone wrong but I'll keep on keeping on sir

Me too....masterpiece and genius RW!!

The best song of the 80's.

For me the best song of the 80's goes to The Gunner's Dream from The Final Cut album.

Not now John is the one from Final Cut I really love. A more straight forward rock song which Floyd always do well.

I vote for "Go Fishing".

The whole album is my favourite song lol

thanks for these lyrics- Roger preformed this song at all his live shows for some time after its release. I've seen many shows and clearly remember it's omission some time ago. Look for it to return at his future shows - one of his post Floyd highlights- of which, you all know, there are many!

Thnx!

Thanks so much for the lyrics, most appreciated.

Don't forget Rick Wright for the foundation of their sound and tone ;-)) RIP Rick

Roger was the BAD one in the group.He was the one who broke the group up and took the remaining members to court He wrote 'the wall' but it wasnt up to him that the band should be retired when he left. He thought he was the band! The judge said to him that it was Syd! Barrett! who named the group 'not you' ,so the remaining members continued on a successful world tour to which R.W was jealous of.+In 1967 he was 'Supposedly' caught red handed by a band member putting a sugar lump with LSD into Syd Barretts tea 20 mins before they went onstage singing Apples and Oranges on the Pat Boone show.He timed it to perfection that Barrett would start tripping just as they began to sing the song.Roger said! 'ill mime it'.Then after, he was the one who said 'Don't pick Barrett up' when they went to do a gig....He envied Barrett because he couldn't get the girls as well as he did.If it wasn't for Dave Gilmour he would be a retired architect...He wasn't the soul of the band he broke the band up and then wanted to get together again 24 years later.If it wasnt for the death of Rick we would have had a world tour.In 1979 he wanted to sack Rick then fate came and destroyed his dream of a world tour 24-25 years later.Why break up a group who were at the peak of their musical careers just because of an inflated ego and jealousy? He WASNT Pink Floyds soul! he was Pink Floyds death.......But he was a genius in the music field..........If he lived and let live, Pink Floyd would have eclipsed the Beatles 'in my opinion'as the greatest band ever!

South-sider Glaswegian well said my friend, roger is nothing without the others plus he has a bad singing voice

Pink Floyd was a great band of course. The Best of the 70's worldwide. After Roger left, Pink Floyd became a band lacking of innovation. If you see the playlist of their concerts, mostly is from the 70's and the band is an orchestra of 20 members with Gilmore doing solos. PF just released a new album like 6 days ago it's called "later years" and is mostly 70s. From 40 years ago their later years. I would call it: their only years. No Waters, no creation.

@@carlosyanezlozada8809 what are you on about? the later years box set is 1987-2019

He`s a really great song writer and seems to write a lot of sad songs. I love his music and songs. His songs make me reflect a lot.

That’s because everything seems more alive when you’re younger.

only 10

He can take all of my years to add to his

Oh God roger you r truly a good person .love u

I’ll throw in a 10 spot too

I agree!

You're absolutely right 👌

I don't think he would've made it without them either though. Such an amazing combination of people.

@@kirklandwhatley That's correct. The combination is what made them great. Apart from each other, they were so so.

No doubt.

Pink Floyd WAS Roger Waters. Not to mention David Gilmore`s unforgettable guitar.

Buen comentario. Viva Roger!!!

Asi mero paisa’, el tocayo es un Maestro!

El mejor disco de Roger waters y Radio kaos

Estoy deacuerdo en parte con vos Pero en pink floyd fijate que los temas mas conocidos los canta david Osea es medio no tan importante mi comentario pero yo creo que si no fuera porque david se metio en pink floyd en 1968 talvez no se hubiera hecho tan conocida la banda

tengo tiempo buscando un videoclip de este album, que salía una bella chicha que se desnuda ante el hombre que atiende un local, no recuerdo la canción.

After amused to death

+Chuy Ortiz real? I've never been able to get into Amused outside of What God Wants.

+RedLabs Same, that was the only song in Amused that I liked

no way Amused is a piece of art!! It is so great!

DJDanceClassic I think that "Go Fishing" is the best. This song is great, but "Go Fishing" is sublime.

Haha so true

Like me man!

Claro que si.

yeah, the lack of blinking is a little unsettling isn't it? haha And that canyon sequence kinda reminds me of Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey"

1:40, he closes his eyes

Dopo Syd!

After Syd

pienamente d'accordo!! genio Roger!!

Me too Syfoll, me too. He's a genius

I feel this is more emotional and certainly sounds more vulnerable.
