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.

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]

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.

[@stickman1742]

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.

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.

The Wall did it for me. I've not smoked a joint since.

[@thiscorrosion900]

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.

[@max_x]

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.

Finally, Pink floyd's label decided to upload the songs and earn some cheese off them. Good for them. Awesome for us.

this song has gotten me through some of the darkest times in my life, thank you pink floyd

[@dominicorange1468]

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

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.

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.

[@JeromekJerome1972]

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.

[@thiscorrosion900]

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.

[@JeromekJerome1972]

@@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.

[@thiscorrosion900]

@@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.

[@MrPhilhughes]

The Final Cut. 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 spiralling 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 shotguns in the hall Dial the combination Open the priesthole 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've 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

@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.

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.

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...".
