"Vera" is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their 1979 album, The Wall. The title is a reference to Vera Lynn, a British singer who came to prominence during World War II with her popular song "We'll Meet Again". The reference is ironic, as Roger Waters (and his fictional character "Pink") would not meet his father, lost in the war. The lyric "Vera, what has become of you?" suggests that Vera Lynn herself, like her promise, vanished. The opening dialogue ("Where the hell are you, Simon?") and the sound effects are from the 1969 film The Battle of Britain. The film version of Pink Floyd The Wall opens with a snippet of Vera Lynn singing "The Little Boy that Santa Claus Forgot", a song about a boy — like Roger Waters — without a father. In addition, in The Wall Live, the first track opens with Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" instead of the snippet of "Outside the Wall" that plays on the album. Roger Waters performed the song as an encore on his 2006 and 2007 "Dark Side of the Moon Live" tour. "We'll Meet Again" was also featured during the opening video, as one of the songs that is played through the giant radio (just prior to the band's entrance). Lyrics : Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that We would meet again Some sunny day? Vera! Vera! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do?

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of my ex. Because the last words we said to each other, so when I hear: "Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?"
Gets me every time. But this song was written for a totally different purpose and has its own meaning. But as they say everyone interprets the music differently.
