maybe everybody was mad with waters at the time this album was relesed and that's why 'the final cut' wasn't that much of a succes -it is almost entirely a waters creation. but i started listening to it before i knew about their band problems... and i think is their most sensitive album and also one of their best.
this one song moves me in ways that no other song can or ever will..'.and if i show you my dark side, would you still hold me tonight...and if i open to my heart to you... show you my weak side what would you do?"
@robowing25 You are absolutely right here. I remember when this came out i didnt really like it. So i gave it about 20 to 30 listens and i finally got it. It was so poignant in its day... and with the exceptions of a few names it could have been released yesterday and still be spot on with all the shit going on in our world. Waters may be an arrogant ass but he is a genius non the less. THIS ALBUM in my opinion is Floys BEST!!
yea i could too but somehow it doesnt seem to have that kinda insanity about it like most of the songs in the Wall do but lyrically this would fit perfectly
@arnoldwarrior15 most of the songs were written for the wall which was going to be a 3 disk album.... They decided 3 was too many and released the wall with some songs cut out, hince this is the final cut. I do believe only 3 of the songs were written just for this album. The David Gilmour one at the end of course, and 2 others...
U know wat im 13 years old and im sick of all this modern day bullshit people call music With Lady Gag and all her little pals If I had my way we'd all be listening to Floyd, Hendrix, Zeppelin all that good shit like this comment if you agree with me
In the past, I heard "The Final Cut" was originally supposed to be a part of "The Wall" Due to the length of the album and I THINK other reasons too, the full album was split into two and this is where we get this most wonderful piece of musical art!
I'd love to see Roger do the perfect tour. First set: Final Cut. Second set: Pros and Cons of Hitchiking. Pay Clapton whatever he wants to play lead guitar.
@barques95 Screw Clapton get Gilmour - those two guys are made for each other and they both need to swallow their damn pride and stick with what they do best - working together to create greatness.
I'm all for "to each his own interpretation" in music, but it's really sad that after all these years, the only people still listening to Pink Floyd seem to be either hardcore drug abusers (Comfortably Numb) or self-cutting emos (The Final Cut). What about the progressive society that the band fought for in Animals? What about the personal harmony and the Dark Side of the Moon? Pink Floyd's message is grossly misinterpreted these days.
I'd like to see a 12 year old understand Pink Floyd.
Having Floyd converse doesn't mean you understand 'em... and it doesn't make you obsessed. And what does being emo or a druggie have to do with anything?
The emo or druggie thing is a long story of something I was referring to a MONTH ago. I guess, I have my own understanding of the Floyd, don't we all?
I am obsessed, I'm one of the biggest Floyd fans ever! (self proclaimed). What I also meant was I love the Floyd so much, that I spent $65 to buy DSoTM converse.
Now if you excuse me, I'm about to go about my business on YouTube.
how can u make such a stupid generalization...and who are u t judge the other people...pink floyd talk about freedom in heart,in mind, about feelings ..
@herunarivelice What the hell are you talking about??? Pink Floyd = empathy. The ability to feel what others are feeling. They will always be associated with psychedelic drugs (acid, LSD, mushrooms, etc) because they chose to use that aura to promote the band in the 60's.
look hes talking about how our worlds getting colder love is dying, relizing this hes about to slit his wrists, which the phone rang and interupt his act
I think Roger Waters is referring to the "final cut" being the fletcher memorial home being named after his father and the physical "cut" of the Crown stabbing his father in the back with their failed efforts. Listen to "When the Tigers Broke Free"
i used to listen to this on cassete tape everyday like 20 yrs ago. i own every pink floyd cd there is. big fan just never saw them live. it sucks! glad to have found this song/video
I don't want to kill my-self. "The final cut" is metaphor for the most important thing we have to do in our life. Hallucination is bad if you are alone?But you are not the only one, right? I am sure that it is not hallucination. We have to make it real. We have to be strong to defend our love. Do you want to be a political animal.I don't want. Each of us is beautiful and unique in this world.Who want to do the "final cut" project. The world is bad if it lack of that kind of hallucination peolple
The song is brilliant, But do you guys have a solution for you? What should we do? Hold the blade in our mighty hand, and make the final cut!!!!!!! Who with me!!!!?
What a great video from a visionary mind... how is it that wteach posts this and also the more recent right-wing videos... a soul in conflict or another Alan Deshowitz? Fan of Chomsky or Coulter?
This song is beautiful...its unfortunate that roger didnt allow a little more collaboration from the other members. But I will say alone he is still a lyrical genius.

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 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?
