Roger Waters - Folded Flags

[@xfilian1]

'Hey Joe, where you going with that dogma in your head? You can prove your point but your kids will still be dead.' Lines that that just send shivers down my spine. They are the reason why Roger was, is and always will be the heart and soul of Pink Floyd.

[@AA-sn9lz]

He was an inseparable part of the Heart and Soul of Pink Floyd. It wasn't all lyrics tho. Gilmour and Wright and Mason made the complete circle. It was a band. It wasn't a solo thing. Pity they still can't put their differences behind them. Edit: spelling

I think this is some of the man's best singing, and one of his best songs. There are plenty of songs that he struggles to sing, but he really pegs it here. And no one brings more of their own human pain to their lyrics than Waters. He is an international treasure.

[@mouseymousey02]

I love this song too. But I think the main part of the singing is done by Paul Carrack, not Waters. Hence why it sounds so much better than usual. Haha

I listened to this song and as lovely as it is, it's the simple yet stunning sound of the blackbird in the background that reduced me to tears. It reminded me of the film and Jim and Hilda's love until the end when everything has died. Stunning. By the way Margaret Thatcher tried to ban the film because she felt it was derogatory to her war in The Falklands. Enough said!

[@david-spliso1928]

Jim and Hilda were probably conservative voters, as so many were. Three landslide elections of Thatcher show this. Especially when socialism was largely deemed to ruin the British economy with lofty but unrealistic ideals. There is obviously a lot of hatred for Thatcher, but they're usually the ones the scream the loudest. The silent majority is happy to sit and wait until election day.

All world leaders need to sit down in one big room and watch this film and hear this song and the amazing radio kaos. If they feel or fear nothing, no tears or sadness then we are doomed. I was a lil girl when I saw this film. Channel 4 in the U.K It terrified me then, gave me nightmares but left me growing up with these beautiful but chilling songs. I don't often pray but I hope one day the tide starts turning........

my wife and myself saw Roger waters in manchester this yr...The man is brilliant..no backups to his voice and talent..Just raw roger. I bought this on tape ( audio ) when it came out..

[@madahad9]

This song and Towers of Faith I think are two of the best songs that Roger Waters wrote in his solo career. They are tight simple songs that deliver their message without being too heavy handed. I think this is when he had his Bleeding Hearts Band so Paul Carrack is doing those parts that Dave Gilmour would do. A truly beautiful song.

Waters early solo stuff is great. This takes to me the Radio Kaos tour. He didn't play any from this album but the very end after the mock nuke strike Billy says "there is more to life then lucky strikes" etc, it was very chilling. Even the morse code at the end of this. Rock on roger.

I found that song beautiful before but now that I've seen the whole thing and that I understand the story it strikes me so much I can't stop myself from crying every time I listen to it.

This movie is how I discovered Roger Waters' solo work, hearing it now still brings back that same feeling I had when I first saw the film and its ending. It's this odd mixture of being devastated by what just happened and being at such a complete loss of words that at first I couldn't even muster the tears until the gravity of the ending really sank in. The way the song and credits cut off those last few barely audible words from the old couple seemed to solidify their fate and always left me feeling like I'd just been awoken from a dream. This movie and its soundtrack are beautiful and gutting all at once. Still one of the most emotionally gripping pieces of animation I've ever seen to this day.

[@CaptWindShear]

Heard it first time exactly when and where I should; at the end of the movie, while we were still under the shadow of the Cold War, with a lot of curious stuff going on behind the Iron Curtain that we were not at all sure about. It was the most perfect ending I ever saw.

They should watch and talk about the movie in every school class as soon as the kids are old enough to understand what´s going on there. And they should watch it to the end, for this song is running in the credits. The kids need to hear this after watching the movie.

[@madahad9]

I bought the soundtrack long before I had the opportunity to see the actual film, but when I did I was disappointed how little of his score is actually heard. Folded Flags and Towers of Faith are among my favorite of his solo works. I imagine he hasn't performed either dong live. That's a shame, but I understood that the recording didn't turn out the way he wanted. I don't know what exactly what the problem was.

[@madahad9]

Unfortunately we hear very little of the score he wrote in the actual film. Just a few snatches here and there. I bought the soundtrack long before having the opportunity to see the film itself. It was mostly for the side which all his compositions are featured. The two songs that bookend the instrumental tracks are among my favourite of his solo works. Towers of Faith is just stunning.

Yet, a friend of mine, who's never met him at all but knows how much he meant to me, she wished him a happy birthday. I can't explain it, but there was a weird feeling of warmth, maybe happiness. There was a sense of healing, and I felt a little less bad.
