URZA is a band from the western United States. Their version of this song is twelve minutes, but I don't think it is quite as good; you can see for your self.

TELL ME THIS MAN ISNT A GENIUS. almost 20 years later this album is more relevant than ever. i am a music nut check some of my favorites i listen to all genres but this is the BEST. ALBUM. EVER
voy a cumplir mi sueño en marzo en argentina voy a ir a verlo en river con mi hijo ,podremos ver lo siempre admiramos por dvd ,no lo puedo creer ,no veo la hora que llegue ese dia !!!! soy de campana
MARAVILLOSA,MARAVILLOSO,lo mejor de Roger Waters en toda su carrera,es una canción que transcurren los años y sigue emocionando al escucharla,es una pieza OBRA DE ARTE.lástima que se nos termina Roger,todo en el es sencillamente genial
@vicens1942 nunca va a terminar porque mientra tengamos vida nunca nos podremos olvidar no lo veremos pero estara dentro nuestro ,en nuestra mente ,claro que si es lo mejor nada paresido
All this piece need to be a masterpiece is Pink Floyd. The keyboards are a joke. The all over feeling are too dark, there need to be the kind of lift that the guitar of Gilmour makes, that lets us travel away to another point of view. Drums to metallic. Guitar solo at the end really really sound likes its missing its owner. Great lyrics. Great sound collages. Could have been a classic.
@horrorflesh jeff beck pisses over gilmour.floyd would ruin it.wot floyd did after rog left isnt half as good as rogers stuff.ive seen floyd live and ive seen rog live and given the choice id choose rog every time.just bn to see the wall live and i dont think il ever see a gig as good as that again in my life.dont think its possible.both visually and sound wise it was totally faultless.
@horrorflesh ye sadly rick has passed.it would be great to see them together again.or whats left of them any way.they did do one nite together for the wall tour but gilmour only played on comfortably numb and outside the wall.have to admit i recently saw the live 8 footage on the tv of them doing comfortably numb and it brought a tear to my eye.theres no band in the world like floyd were.rog and gilmour have played together a few times since live 8 so you never know it may happen one day.
@idgarad - Guess im just sad that Floyds at the end, and im even fatter and balder still trapped in the realities of this song. Its a fucking miracle....
Absolutely beautiful track. Yes, I'll say it - this is probably the closest to sounding like Pink Floyd of any solo work done by Waters, Gilmour, or Gilmour/Floyd.
This has elements of Meddle, Obscured By Clouds. etc.
Also, Jeff Beck's solo at the end is brilliant! The closest to Gilmour's sonic grace I've heard.
Can someone describe to me the symbolism of this song? I've listened to it a thousand times and still don't get it. Waters' lyrics are brilliant but too abstract sometimes.
@Polterguist The symbolism is what Roger Waters has always attempted to symbolise: Humans; the world around us; existence. He stumbled upon taking strict dictation of what happens with humans and their environment. He has done this through music, and I can't think of anyone else that has done this quite this way.
1992 was one of my best years...this music brings back some of my best memories of a man who loved me like nobody else ever will or can.....it's a miracle!
Absolutely heavenly song musically, but with bound-to-earth lyrics. It reminds me of the ambient of Echoes, but with slowed-down beat, with notes from piano and bass contributing to that feeling of trance. The best of the slow piesces of this album. Roger plays to be the alien anthropologist all along it. Love when he composes like this.
@iliShotaBoyili, You've were here over a month ago and back again only to criticize RW and prop Andrew Weber. With everything you've said, why are you at a RW video? I've never called anyone a troll in my life, but now it actually means something, congratulations. I recommend making an attempt to find a friend, someone willing to help, but you'll likely have a hard time, and certainly not find any here. What's amazing is you'll be back to this RW thread again. Did you get beat up alot as a kid?
there are people that dont see the everyday miracles that inhabit our lives. then there are the miricals we wish we could see in our life times Jim30301
Andrew Lloyd Webber is an amazing composer, song writer, and theatre director. Roger Waters hasn't filed a lawsuit against Webber for the alleged "stolen riff" in Phantom of the Opera, because he knows he can't justify his case. Even if the opening, "Daaaaaaah- dah- dah- dah- dah- dah-" in the Phantom theme was taken by Andrew Lloyd Webber (which it wasn't), he made it sound better than Roger Waters did. Fact is, Phantom is the longest running theatrical piece, while Roger's songs are mediocre.
@augerrat Im glad others sees his brilliance , hears his moral, takes in the profound stage of great music , then the message , . . . . . some can see it , some cannot , . . Ive been a floyder since the very beginning,
At 0:39 the children are playing. This is so indicative of our times in such a spacial plane. Forgetting our roots as children is our loss. 0:39 represents the age at which we can never return to our inner child. OOOHHH Roger Waters......
purchased this album in 2000 played it over and over just like darkside of the moon this musician is real what i mean is the world today is full of hate and lies and roger recognises the issues today and his way of expressing his music totally reflects our fucked up society the greatest band of all time even davi must be impressed with roger its to bad they will never there differences wouldnt that be a miracle
wake up and listen to yourselves, take a look in the mirror and ask yourself , could I produce this music, then listen to it , and post your comments on hear, and as for comparisons , THERE ARE NONE , unique, by any stretch of your imagination ............
@MrKevinalder You don't need to be able to produce the same quality of music to like or not. You don't even need to be that able to criticize it. As long as you provide reasonable arguments, it is understandable!
I think Roger is a brilliant master of music....And in my opinion...No one can even come close to his way of putting the words and truth out there in music like he does!!
Oh yeah and he was and is the sexy one .....Not David!! My opinion;)
I like that image of Jesus hanging on the cross on a hill overlooking the city, and happily proclaiming; "Hey, Peter! I can see your house from here!"
@iancorwynsmith Rodger Waters is a lyrical genius and I guess he's pissed all the way to the bank! Darkside 1973-1987 top 200 continually! WILL NEVER BE MATCHED by Webber or anyone!
Who friggin' cares if the song is "depressing", or not? One man's depression is another man's joy. Personally, this song lets me know I'm not the only one who has a bleak outlook on humanity. I find a great comfort in that, and I find it anything BUT depressing. It's a goddam awesome song!!
Depressing yes, but it is quite rewarding however to hear him rip on Smith and Keynes in this song "Through the wonders of the market place the human race has civilized itself" and the fact that their models don't take things like human beings and their tenancies into account. In Roger's not so famous words "be a Bonobo, not a Chimpanzee"
He did not copy, atleast i dont believe so. Honestly, who sits there and listens to a song and hears a part that goes up and down a scale and goes, "hmm... that one part sounds like a perfect way to start my musical!"
That sounds like a bunch of crap. Atleast Lloyd Webber isnt overly parannoid and assumes everyone is stealing HIS work and then completely insults people. Andrew is the civilized person in this situation..
@Phantom1910 COME ON! Have you even heard Echoes? It's the same everything! You can't ignore it, you just can't. Lloyd Webber can say all he wants, but this precedes it in 15 years, and even though coincidences exist, It's impossible the key piece of the musical is that one. Don't take me wrong. I actually liked pretty much every musical he wrote. I'm just saying, he sucks...
@thegreatfriend Yes, ive heard it for i am a pink floyd fan myself but, its not exactly the same, its a brief moment that sounds like it but then it goes into something completely different. Also, that part in echos goes so fast that it doesnt make sense that webber would pick that out and decide to start his song with it. Also, Waters is just being a jerk, he talks of breaking the fingures of someone who rather than making ppl depressed with his work, actually makes ppl happy and entertained
@Phantom1910 You like it when people avoid the truth and keep you in blissulf ignorance? Or were you referring to sugar coating reality? If that's what you like then I can understand you thinking Roger Waters to be depressing. But, hey, we all have our opinions and who am I to criticize you for yours? Perhaps Waters went too far with his lyrics, wouldn't be the first time he blew a problem out of proportions... still, I say he's justified. Such blatant disrespect shouldn't go unnoticed.
@Phantom1910 I, like you, am a Phantom fan. However, I friggin hate ALW and I'm not too fond of his musical (I stick to the book). And yeah, ALW totally got the beginning of the overture from Echoes. I knew it sounded familiar when I first heard the Overture and then listened to Echoes again to make sure. And the thing is, ALW didn't even say anything when Roger Waters pointed it out. It's not the only time, either; LND's song Beneath A Moonless Sky rips off Sally's Song from NbC!
I find Roger Waters to be a great story teller, the only reason you might not like what he say is because its reality, yep that sux but so can life. He will often tell both sides of the story, not every one is luck. Depressing I think not , watch the news its worse.
I think Roger Waters sounds depressing not because he describes harsh realities but because he offers no alternative. His songs seem bereft of even the possibility of something like hope. Everything always seems to come to a dead end for him. At least in this song he seems open to miracles. Run with it Roger, you deserve to be happy too and your fans do too!
It is sad indeed, to know that human-race will never be able to live without strive and war. When a human finally finds peace, he looks for more action in his life. Or competition. Both wear the roots for war or differences.
this song(and indeed the album) is absolutely a beacon of hope for all humanity. very moving.End all religions, the lies and false power. power to the people and peace be with you all.
ROGER can see no HUMOR in suffering, inmexploitation, in promoting fALSE hope, false celebrities and in lying to the people by its government n he finds it hard ro hold a converSAtion ...they tend to ask retarded questions that he does not relate to "DO you have aq new single out" RECENLTY asked him WHEN he will reunitewityh Pink Floyd AGAIN?" Roger walked up to the woman dressed i na slkeek business suit holding the microphone and said "Rick Wrigth is dead you sow.
What really matters is that the song speaks to you in some way and invokes a good emotion for you. I always listen to this song when i feel down. It gives me a hope for mankind. He was truely a great writer, and pink floyd wasn't the same without him.
My dear friends,this music is miracle it self,but you have to go around the globe and find people who are inteligent to understand his mind,gues how many you will find,Roger is Mozzart of 21st.century and only few understand him now,the rest will in 200 years(hope so).I know how it feels to be born years a hed of the rest,please dont think that I'm some kind of psicho,I'm not,wish one day to meet Roger,but its not in my destiny!!!
it´s a miracle is a divine music... Great Roger Waters, I know what it is to live in a world surrounded by people without intelligence, you are not understood enough,I know...
Huntinboat - if you mean that the lyrics are hard to swallow, I'd agree. He's a master at creating soundscapes and adding lyrics to layered melodies. His lyrics are wry and heartfelt, its just that they often convey messages that only a utopian socialist could really appreciate without a knot growing in your stomach.
Indeed, reality is harsh and depressing. But Roger (like John Lennon) dreams of a day when we, a race of intelligent beings (well, most.. uh.. some of us), will finally lay aside our differences (and our weapons), tear down our walls, forsake our selfish materialism, and build bridges into a brighter, peaceful future. All except for Andrew Lloyd Weber...he sucks.
@bofablowsitall I would do anything to make that day happen, we're not living at all, just consuming and multiplying and then, eventually, dying. Why is it that when we're young life seem's so full of possibilitles, but by the time your twenty it's all gone? I disagree with you on one aspect of your comment however...I don't think Roger is a dreamer, I think he realizes the truth, it's too late for us, we've gone too far.
@bofablowsitall I wouldn't attribute all that to him, maybe you have spoken with him intimately? Any man who has been alive since the week before yesterday knows what a bunch of impossible rubbish that dream is, you don't even have to be "inteligint" to figr that one out. But most will continue to believe the Big Hopeful Lie, to spurn the only path of Truth the world has ever known--- not religion but actually reading and understanding what Christ did and what it's all about
@salmagnum btw, I grew up wid ol Rogy in my earphones, and Maynard of Tool. Tell ya what, you put the 3 of us on a deserted isle with a KJV Bible, a club and a couple coconuts, either the other two are converted to a true belief in the risen Christ, or its Lord o thee Flies and I'm Porky (metaphorically)! No other outcomes are foreseeable. The devil rules this earth and gives power to whom he pleases Luke 4:5-8
@bofablowsitall As a Roger Waters fan,I totally agree with your sentiment....nice to know you're out there,the Lloyd Weber comment,totally 'on-target'....
@bofablowsitall I love Water's work and Amused to Death is probably my favourite album. But as I've grow older I've come to appreciate that Water's ideas and views, particularly in this album, are fairly one-dimensional and pessimistic. There's a lot more to life and civilisation than, well, Roger Water's opinions! And no, I'm sure as hell not a born-again Christian! Great song from a great album though.
@bofablowsitall Get some culture buddy. Do research on Andrew Lloyd Webber, and you will see how defined and complete his repertoire is. Roger Waters writes terrible songs, that have no substance to them besides a string of profound words that you can find in any dictionary. Lloyd Webber's songs may not have profound literary devices, or terms in them, but they have profound artistic meanings. They have allusions, metaphors, and concepts that Roger tries to chalk up with big words.
Why would one even compare the two, and who cares about 'profound artistic meanings, allusions, metaphors, and concepts'? You can be correct to a T with your artistic expression, but if the piece doesn't get you, what's the point? That's what it's all about , my friend. Any person, anywhere, at any time can create a fantastic, incorrect, non Webber-esque sound. Applying correct metaphors to music to the letter can make it staid and robotic. Btw, I cannot stand waters' voice. :)
@iliShotaBoyili "Roger Waters writes terrible songs, that have no substance to them besides a string of profound words that you can find in any dictionary"
This is simply amazing. I'm almost lost for words at how thick you are...
@iliShotaBoyili You are Dave Gilmour trolling on Andrew Lloyd Webbers youtube account, I claim my 5 pounds and free Comfortably Numb guitar solo live performance in my living room.

@iancorwynsmith Rodger Waters is a lyrical genius and I guess he's pissed all the way to the bank! Darkside 1973-1987 top 200 continually! WILL NEVER BE MATCHED by Webber or anyone!

Who friggin' cares if the song is "depressing", or not? One man's depression is another man's joy. Personally, this song lets me know I'm not the only one who has a bleak outlook on humanity. I find a great comfort in that, and I find it anything BUT depressing. It's a goddam awesome song!!

Depressing yes, but it is quite rewarding however to hear him rip on Smith and Keynes in this song "Through the wonders of the market place the human race has civilized itself" and the fact that their models don't take things like human beings and their tenancies into account. In Roger's not so famous words "be a Bonobo, not a Chimpanzee"

Guys, stop trashing Andrew Lloyd Webber.
He did not copy, atleast i dont believe so. Honestly, who sits there and listens to a song and hears a part that goes up and down a scale and goes, "hmm... that one part sounds like a perfect way to start my musical!"
That sounds like a bunch of crap. Atleast Lloyd Webber isnt overly parannoid and assumes everyone is stealing HIS work and then completely insults people. Andrew is the civilized person in this situation..

@Phantom1910 COME ON! Have you even heard Echoes? It's the same everything! You can't ignore it, you just can't. Lloyd Webber can say all he wants, but this precedes it in 15 years, and even though coincidences exist, It's impossible the key piece of the musical is that one. Don't take me wrong. I actually liked pretty much every musical he wrote. I'm just saying, he sucks...
thegreatfriend 1 year ago
@thegreatfriend Yes, ive heard it for i am a pink floyd fan myself but, its not exactly the same, its a brief moment that sounds like it but then it goes into something completely different. Also, that part in echos goes so fast that it doesnt make sense that webber would pick that out and decide to start his song with it. Also, Waters is just being a jerk, he talks of breaking the fingures of someone who rather than making ppl depressed with his work, actually makes ppl happy and entertained
Phantom1910 1 year ago
@Phantom1910 You like it when people avoid the truth and keep you in blissulf ignorance? Or were you referring to sugar coating reality? If that's what you like then I can understand you thinking Roger Waters to be depressing. But, hey, we all have our opinions and who am I to criticize you for yours? Perhaps Waters went too far with his lyrics, wouldn't be the first time he blew a problem out of proportions... still, I say he's justified. Such blatant disrespect shouldn't go unnoticed.

@Phantom1910 I, like you, am a Phantom fan. However, I friggin hate ALW and I'm not too fond of his musical (I stick to the book). And yeah, ALW totally got the beginning of the overture from Echoes. I knew it sounded familiar when I first heard the Overture and then listened to Echoes again to make sure. And the thing is, ALW didn't even say anything when Roger Waters pointed it out. It's not the only time, either; LND's song Beneath A Moonless Sky rips off Sally's Song from NbC!

I find Roger Waters to be a great story teller, the only reason you might not like what he say is because its reality, yep that sux but so can life. He will often tell both sides of the story, not every one is luck. Depressing I think not , watch the news its worse.
uaenoece 1 year ago
I think Roger Waters sounds depressing not because he describes harsh realities but because he offers no alternative. His songs seem bereft of even the possibility of something like hope. Everything always seems to come to a dead end for him. At least in this song he seems open to miracles. Run with it Roger, you deserve to be happy too and your fans do too!

It is sad indeed, to know that human-race will never be able to live without strive and war. When a human finally finds peace, he looks for more action in his life. Or competition. Both wear the roots for war or differences.

Jesus Christ was a man, and rabbi, who fought City Hall.
He was a good man; principled and brave.
He got crucified for it. He's also been dead for almost 2000 years.

Roger walked up to the woman dressed i na slkeek business suit holding the microphone and said "Rick Wrigth is dead you sow.

What really matters is that the song speaks to you in some way and invokes a good emotion for you. I always listen to this song when i feel down. It gives me a hope for mankind. He was truely a great writer, and pink floyd wasn't the same without him.

Huntinboat - if you mean that the lyrics are hard to swallow, I'd agree. He's a master at creating soundscapes and adding lyrics to layered melodies. His lyrics are wry and heartfelt, its just that they often convey messages that only a utopian socialist could really appreciate without a knot growing in your stomach.
purpledynasty 1 year ago
Indeed, reality is harsh and depressing. But Roger (like John Lennon) dreams of a day when we, a race of intelligent beings (well, most.. uh.. some of us), will finally lay aside our differences (and our weapons), tear down our walls, forsake our selfish materialism, and build bridges into a brighter, peaceful future. All except for Andrew Lloyd Weber...he sucks.

Why is it that when we're young life seem's so full of possibilitles, but by the time your twenty it's all gone? I disagree with you on one aspect of your comment however...I don't think Roger is a dreamer, I think he realizes the truth, it's too late for us, we've gone too far.

But most will continue to believe the Big Hopeful Lie, to spurn the only path of Truth the world has ever known--- not religion but actually reading and understanding what Christ did and what it's all about

@bofablowsitall I love Water's work and Amused to Death is probably my favourite album. But as I've grow older I've come to appreciate that Water's ideas and views, particularly in this album, are fairly one-dimensional and pessimistic. There's a lot more to life and civilisation than, well, Roger Water's opinions! And no, I'm sure as hell not a born-again Christian! Great song from a great album though.

@bofablowsitall Get some culture buddy. Do research on Andrew Lloyd Webber, and you will see how defined and complete his repertoire is. Roger Waters writes terrible songs, that have no substance to them besides a string of profound words that you can find in any dictionary. Lloyd Webber's songs may not have profound literary devices, or terms in them, but they have profound artistic meanings. They have allusions, metaphors, and concepts that Roger tries to chalk up with big words.
iliShotaBoyili 10 months ago
@iliShotaBoyili
Why would one even compare the two, and who cares about 'profound artistic meanings, allusions, metaphors, and concepts'? You can be correct to a T with your artistic expression, but if the piece doesn't get you, what's the point? That's what it's all about , my friend. Any person, anywhere, at any time can create a fantastic, incorrect, non Webber-esque sound. Applying correct metaphors to music to the letter can make it staid and robotic. Btw, I cannot stand waters' voice. :)
