  • Good song for 5-21-2011 the rapture

  • this song is plaing at my funeral NO MATTER WHAT!

  • thiis song,a bottle of jack,& a shot gun...goodbye

  • This song is too short....

  • my suicide song now i can go goodbye

  • This is fabulously !!!!!!!!!!!

    Cudowna kompozycja !!!

  • The Wall album is basically what happens when your fucked up in the head and your life is fucked up,like i used to be and what my life used to be.

  • @jammerock2000 my life is fucked up now and this describes exactly how i feel....

  • @Doorsfan131 Man up, everyone in this world goes through shit, push through it, don't wallow in self pity. No ones life is ever 'fucked up' you just need to face your problems and get through them.

  • @Doorsfan131 Then shut the fuck up and stop whining.

  • favorite song from the wall. <3

  • @nobodie92 at least you have friends..im a lone ANIMAL,behind a WALL on the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON...

  • @xenoghost1 very good... now do that with Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn lol

  • @stevothemanlyman i miss my ATOM HEART MOTHER.at least im lisening to UMMAGUMMA with THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN

  • @xenoghost1 music to my eyes

  • @stevothemanlyman we are just RELICS,but I WISH YOU WERE HERE, to SHINE ON(YOU CRAZY DIAMOND),OH BY THE WAY,have you ever been LIVE IN POMPEII

  • @xenoghost1 stop, stop, you're making me ejaculate

  • @stevothemanlyman this is my DIVISION BELL,MY FINAL CUT, while A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON, in a SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS,MEDDLE around...

  • @xenoghost1 now thats just getting ridiculous.

  • @xenoghost1 all in all you are all just bricks in the wall

  • I hope everyone understands that this is not about suicide. It is about the completion of the wall that cuts Pink off from the world.

  • The ideal song for those who aspire a quick and painless death by suicide. If "The End" by the Doors can be played if the world's about to end, then "Goodbye Cruel World" is the ideal last song for those who wish for a bullet in their head...

  • @RatkosKorner The song is not about suicide.

  • @Hypurr1

    I know that. It's about complete and utter isolation from everything and everyone. The Wall is now complete...

    Still, it could also be meant to be played for something else. After all, when it comes to music, anybody sees his own version in a song, even if that very song sends a specific message, yes?

  • @RatkosKorner True; individual interpretation can be different. Just with all the suicide talk in the comments I just wanted to make the point that suicide wasn't the original intention in which it was written.

  • I wonder if somebody committed suicide with this song.

  • @turkniktout My friend tried to, two nights ago.

  • @AnswerMachines and he died?

  • @turkniktout She. And no, but she's in the hospital right now.

  • @AnswerMachines Ok. I hope she will get better soon. Suicide is a very hard thing.

  • @turkniktout yeah, i did, didnt work ... :o)

  • theres noting you can say to make me changee my mind goodbye 420

  • 3 people have no souls

    

  • @MsStillsmokin420 No its possible that three people didnt listen to the record. The just random clicked like idiots. And they have no idea about the power of this moment.

  • my eyes just tear up every flippin time i hear this song, don't really know why it has such an impact on me

  • @bigfatgreenguyinrain

    please elaborate. I am not quite getting what u r referring 2, yes in the most case when 1 wall comes down another is put up, I totally agree. If solidlittle had something positive 2 add I would take note. I am open 2 listening & I may not agree in the moments but none the less I allow ideas 2 echo through my consciousness. I only used the same level of communication that he omitted because I figured that is how he communicates. calibrating our vocabulary so 2 speak.

  • @SolidLittle

    you just repeated what I had to saw but to defend your own ignorance. Do as you wish and have tolerance for what is beyond you. If you don't like what I say then don't pay any attention to it. I'm really not sure if you can understand anything at this point, especially when I am promoting peace among neighbors and you still wish to knock people down. Cheers to you solid little, solid little, that's funny!!!

  • @roadykev420 Hey, let's cool it with the defamation. I would also like to hit upon the hypocritical nature of your response; if you are trying to promote peace and show that removing blocks upon other people's cultures and thoughts will induce peace, then perhaps lifting the wall between your own ideas and beliefs and those belonging to "SolidLittle" would be a good way to start this notion.

  • @bigfatgreenguyinrain Well written. You got your point across without being nasty, nor did you "put someone in their place" Just the facts, Mam. Cool. You've got a good head!

  • @SolidLittle

    I'm not saying the end is coming, only a new beginning & I am saying that the wall is telling the story on mankind and how we have walls that are separating us all. example: people like u comment exactly like u did. Learn at least this from this album, take down your walls & get along with your neighbors rather then telling everyone 2 go fuck themselves. If we ever want 2 end corruption we must stand together. Peace to u who tells me 2 fuck off, I understand you're confusion!

  • @roadykev420 Oh.... So now the walls that separate us all have something to do with all that 2012 bullshit and "radiohead ok computer album". Just go take your shit somewhere else. Tell you what, the walls are part of the human nature. When you finally manage to tear down your wall, you're already starting to build another. It's a vicious cycle. The album itself says that. But don't worry, I understand your confusion!

  • This song isn't about the end, i understand that. But it just makes you think of the end.

  • he is saying goodbye because of dec 21st 2012 look deeper into the hole album.

    a higher being speaks through him. same with radiohead ok computer album

  • @roadykev420 Fuck you. Just fuck you.

  • @SolidLittle my point exactly, fucking idiots lol

  • this song takes direct inspiration from the art of programming.

  • You'll only understand the full capacity of this song unless you listen to the entire track from beginning to end. I was at a young age during the release of this album. To do so under the influence of "acid", I recommend you do the same but be careful where you get it.

  • Pink Floyd has many good hits this is one of my favorite

  • This ain´t from the original movie...just the studio album.

    ...doesn´t matter anyway cuss it´s still f**king good !!

  • At the concert, this song was played when there was only 1 brick left to be put in. Roger stuck his head through the hole and sang, then leaned back when he was finished and they put the final brick in.... fuckin epic.

  • @TheMasterOfPuppets44

    THATS MORE LIKE IT !!

  • @TheMasterOfPuppets44 oh yeah, that part gave me chills haha, i saw his concert back in october of '10, great concert - best concert I've ever seen...

  • @TheMasterOfPuppets44 AWESOME, i am going to see him live in the netherlands the 9th of april

  • @123marijn321 lucky

  • @TheMasterOfPuppets44 bad ass thanks

  • @TheMasterOfPuppets44 same thing when i say it monday, it was fucking amazing XD

  • @TheMasterOfPuppets44 are you talking about the concert they had in Germany in 91?

  • Fuck.......I hate coming on here, listening to music, then reading all the pathetic drivel that goes on in the comments . Try to stick to commenting on the actual music you sad pathetic losers.

    Im over it

  • @Saraseaweed

    bullshit you didn't ask for it, what other reason to post it on the internet. you wanted sympathy, because yuo wanted someone to pay attention to your problems and say "oh, its alright, its ok, now", well guess fucking what, there are people out there who will tell to your face that your being fucking stupid, i just happen to be one of those people.

  • @Mikkael365 dude wat the fuck is wrong with you? r u on ur super period or sumthin? seriously calm down. do you really not have that much of a life where u bitch at other ppl over the internet for no damn reason? this person just lost a brother and all you do is yell at her. y do you even have to intervene? you oculd have just said nothing. wat if she saraseaweed kills herself because of you? so you want blood on your hands?

  • @shanesuss

    dude, if she offs herself because of me, it just proves my point that she is weak, i would havelood on my hands because she did it of her own free will. don't you fucking talk to me about bitching at people on the internet, look at what your doing. if i was on a period (ima guy), my arguments wouldn't of made sense, but they do make sense. if people kill themselves over meer words, then the human race is weaker than i thought

  • @Mikkael365 im not bitchin lik u r im just defending a person in grief. i dont care about the details just at least get over urself and stop commentin. enjoy the music

  • @Saraseaweed

    oh but i just did, what the fuck you going to do about it. your brother was weak, he couldn't handle the pressure and offed himself. if the world was natural like it was before, he would die because he was weaker, cause in the natural world, the strong survive and the weak die. besides people take for granted everything in these first world countries, not realizing how fucking privledged they are. you and your brother earn no sympathy from me

  • @Saraseaweed

    thats shitty for you but, why do you think we should care about what your brother posted and why we should care that he offed himself. i know i sound like a jackass, but seriously, 6 biliion people on the planet and rising. don't respond i'll verbally rape you

  • @Mikkael365 you want him not to care if someone in his family does suicide just because there are 6 billion others left? fucking hell what is wrong with you. I hope your mother does suicide, then lets see how much you believe your words

  • @Tiramisumandeln

    you don't know me at all, if my mother killed herself, oh fucking well, i can't do anything about that now can i. all i'd do is really just accept it and get over it, so don't you act you understand me, bitch. you shame your brothers name for placing yuor grief on the internet, your fucking stupid to think that no one will come along and say "k, why the fuck do should we care about your problems". besides we want to know aobut your musical opinion, not your life fucking story

  • @Mikkael365 im not his brother, im just a random guy..and by the way theres a lot of people that share the stories of how some1 in their family died and they get sympathy for it, your reaction is rather abnormal and against the american way of thinking :)

  • @Tiramisumandeln

    oh i forgot who it was who i raged at. im not american, so i don't think like one.

  • @Tiramisumandeln

    oh i forgot who it was who i raged at. sry for bitching at you

  • this is him cutting him self off from the rest of the world(building his wall)

  • This is a good place to end the album...

    but NOPE! Pink floyd is to awesome to leave us hangin'!

  • So strong and says it all for me.

  • In the short 1 minute 16 seconds, the beauty and sadness of this song makes me want to cry. That's some really intense talent Pink Floyd has there.

  • I think the people who are commenting about suicide and/or suicide hotlines/solutions to resolve suicidal thoughts are kind of missing the point... but oh well.

  • Suicide solves no problems - in fact, all it does is pass the horrible pain on to the rest of the people who care about you for the rest of their lives. You are not alone. In the U.S., call 1-800-273-8255

  • @thejimmyzshow What if there in no one left in the world who cares about you? Then you won't be passing any sort of pain on to anyone.. My father died a little over a month ago, so the number of people that care about me are dwindling fast.. But that's ok. Life still goes on, for now I guess.

  • @Komet163B Then make the call because THOSE people care - and I cared enough to post the phone number. There are always people who care about you - you may not even know them.

  • @thejimmyzshow I'll keep what you said in mind, if the time ever comes that I would be seriously considering leaving this world on my own terms. Thanks for your concern though.

  • @Komet163B there is almost 7 billion people on the planet. if no1 cares for you in where ever you live. move somewhere else. start new life.

    in any case you can also make one friend that cares. and it is for sure more meaningful than million who dont care. as for the family loss. there is nothing you can do to bring your loved ones from dead for now. so talk to the one person who cares, about that and you will feel better. in fact.. i care about every person.. so you have at least 1 who cares ;)

  • two people are deaf. 'nuff said.

  • my funeral song george henry ouwendijk schiedam gorzen

  • @Saraseaweed

    Really sorry about that.

  • @Saraseaweed i was near to comite sucide...realy near bt i live one...just one more lost soul

  • I love how abruptly this song ends, making it perfect for movies. pink floyd is just so awesome.

  • is this the greatest song ever recorded?

  • Such a beautiful song. Pink Floyd craddles me when I'm sad, yet it gives birth to my smile. It puts a weight on my back yet it frees my mind. It plays the harp of my emotions. A 1:16 song inflicts all these feelings upon me simultaneously. What else can their music be, other than the true meaning of life?

  • Hey dude. Chillout man. The dude didn't mean that the song sucks (as in its bad), he meant that that it sucks (as in draws) you in and makes you interested in it. And it does, this song is incredibly awesome.

    How dare you ever think that someone could dislike any song by Pink Floyd, let alone publically declare it. Blasphemy.

  • i really want this song in my funeral..

  • @maririvo I wouldn't want this song, i'd want the whole album played at my funeral

  • Hey just so you know you ARE MISSING SONGS: 3,5,12 if you kould add them it would be appreiciated.

  • i'm playing this on my last day of summer

  • My father told me once "son i want you to sing this song in my funeral because i finally rest from this world of cruelty and chaos"

    now that he told me that i want that song to be singed when i'm in the funeral home lying dead and in peace in my casket.

  • I relate so much to this album and this song in particular. One of my friends said they hated me after some stupid dispute. I cut myself off from all of my friends and spent a lot of time alone.

  • I still, 5 years after buying this album, can't believe it ends this way. That is, with him closing himself off for good. It's funny too because when you look at Roger Waters' output after this album, he kinda did put up a wall. Nothing he wrote after this was really that good and when you listen to it, you get the feeling that he didn't even try. I reckon it's somewhat pointless after writing the wall. I mean, this album has it all. Everything one could express in the rock genre is there.

  • @ludwigvan17 you suck your not a true fan buddy i seen him years ago and im planning toc him agine in october u no why cus he was n alwise was the shyt

  • @thamdy Pros and Cons is one of the best albums of all time IMO!

  • @ludwigvan17 - Sure you bought it? There is whole other side after this song.

  • @ludwigvan17 you do know that there's a second part to The Wall? this isnt where it ends. there's a whole nother album after this one

  • @ludwigvan17 You poor thing, missing such gems as Nobody Home, Hey You, Comfortably Numb, and the Trial for so long!

  • @ludwigvan17 oh and get the other part man YOU NEED IT!!!!

  • Pink Floyd-Goodbye Cruel World= Nine Inch Nails-10 Miles High?

  • @ZeppIVPEZ NIN's 10 Miles high sounds like this song? I need to get my CD and check that. I forgot what that song sounds like.

  • GOOD BYE.>>>> damn>>>> finely

  • wow this song is great and i underestimated this album its better than i thought but i still like dark side of the moon more cause a few songs breathe/speak to me

    time, money

  • this song sucks u in with its powerful saddness

  • @AngeLstoCooLforU

    then why are you watching it? you don't see me watching the Jonas bros. and making rude comments.

  • @AngeLstoCooLforU dude it doesn't suck it means some thing for you its sad but if you really understand the story and this part of the story you wouldn't say this so shut the fuck up and keep your annoying and rude opinions to your self ignorant bastard don't write back either because i know you eventually are with your shit and i don't want to fight with people through out the net because thats just low....learn to respect true meaningful music.

  • goodbye goodbye goodbye

  • lol dude,im sure leaving facebook shouldnt be taken THAT serious.

  • @caseyjoe503, its not about Facebook per se, its about leaving behind technology and the virtual world that engrosses so many people today. Kids today don't even know how to talk to other humans unless its on Facebook or a text message. The song is like saying goodbye to that world and re-entering what most of us know as "the real world".

  • Comment removed

  • @LocalDogRescue when actually it is about finally socially isolating oneself....

    the final moment when you abort human contact and become cut off from everybody.

  • @LocalDogRescue The internet wasn't even born when this song was made, what are you stupid?

  • And was there a real reason you joined Facebook in the first place?

  • Goodbye. Good-bye. Goodbye.

  • I thought the other day that this song could also be about hope, about leaving behind the people and the things that bring you down and ruin you, being able to escape from those clutches. Its the wrong place in the album for it to mean that, way to early, but taken on its own it could.

  • hi dadeskr. strange i should find your comment today. i agree with all you said. i've listened to this song 100's of times and yesterday - for the first time - i listened to the song in the way you described (and with headphones- gotta use the headphones). i also hear it in the first 30 sec of 'Waiting for the Worms'...i know this isn't the intended meaning of the song - but when taken alone, i can see it. PF is brilliantl

  • @jodiehays Yeah I love how the lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, obviously there is always an intended meaning, but its great to be imaginative :)

  • Also 'PF is brilliant' I second that!

  • What does this song mean? Is it that he is making the wall or waiting for death, or somethink else?

  • he placed the final brick in his wall

  • reminds me f ricrado lopez

  • @dilcofilms

    lol wut?

  • Goodbye cruel world I just ended it.

  • Cheers...

  • wow

  • The song isn't really about suicide or dying, he's saying goodbye cuz he's building the wall

  • @ZOMBIEZ91 Its because the wall is completed as if he has layed the final brick. completeing his isolation from society

  • @Dumbledore1494 He posted that almost a year ago...just sayin

  • Comment removed

  • @ZOMBIEZ91 but then why dose he keep talking about worms?

  • @DaKilla27 The entire album is Symbolism. All have different meaning then there upfront, well, value. The hammers, aren't really representing hammers, same with worms. The worms are saying he now is fulling being consumed by madness. The worms represent the death of his sanity and normal control, thus why in hey you, "And the worms ate into his brain."

  • @DaKilla27 "worms", control his thoughts. In his hallucination, he is a fascist dictator who spreads hatred, with the promise that his followers would see "Britannia rule again" and "send our coloured cousins home again," and announces he is "waiting to turn on the showers and fire the ovens." The count-in is Eins, zwei, drei, hammer - German for "one, two, three" and then the English word and recurring theme of the album, hammer.

  • @ZOMBIEZ91

    More powerful to look at it as suicide even though not intended.

  • I want this song to be playing at my funeral

  • @TheyCallMeTheSwede

    Are you retarded ?

    This song is about no leaving

    not dying -Facepalm-

    Unless your going to suicide but that would be a retarded move

  • this song feels like im either really high or really tired

  • @nikesvoosh

    aren't those the same things?

  • yuuuuummmay !

    <3

  • PINK FLOYD THE WALL-30 AÑOS

  • This song prevented me from commiting suicide. Pink Floyd saved my life many times by giving me the will to go on living.

  • Jreed, Thats good, there music is amazing. Pink Floyd has never saved my life, but it has helped me through a lot in life so far. But, there music is so inspiring, wonderful, SO perfect.

  • Yeah Pink Floyd are my favourite band of all time and always will be. I love the guitar solos and other atmospheric sounds and of course Roger Waters' lyrics are so inspiring.

    PINK FLOYD RULE!!!!

  • i absolutely love this band with all my soul!!!

  • Same here, Pink Floyd are my life

  • yes

  • I figured this would be like the last song in The Wall! Not 13!

  • Its the last show of Act 1, live, :)

  • the trail is the last of it, real mind blowing song and animation

  • yeah...

  • woah is this movie the real deal then?

  • This is when the wall is about to be complete and he's singing before the last brick in put into place.

  • its on 13,just been a bad luck day is my 2nd guess

  • so sad. yeah it sounds like a suicide song. at least the character doesnt kill himself.

  • i think its the last of whats left of pink leaving him in the film

  • yeah it is its basically him putting the final brick in the wall, isolating himself entirely from the world (hence the song title)

  • I wrote this on my suicide note... Yet I'm here, living... Which sucks....

  • if at first you succeed...try and try again

  • Seriously does anyone know someone who has actually left this song on a suicide note

  • I was tempted to write it on my suicide note...

  • I will.

  • perfect suicide song

  • Even though it's not about suicide, it's still the perfect suicide song. It gives no reasons, just says goodbye. Short and sweet.

  • Jeste prelaz na drugi cd

  • Goodbye cruel world means going
