I been a Pink Floyd fan for many years now, from the age of 11... 49 now, I always thought & assumed Dave was the back bone of Pink Floyd, after listening to Roger's solo albums over the years, I now understand most of his work & realise that Roger was infact the back bone of Pink Floyd then, absolute lyrical genius 👏
You're not alone, it amazes me how a lot of PF fans don't understand the dynamics of the band. From DSOTM onwards, these albums were all the ideas & concepts of Roger Waters. He composed most of the music. He wrote all the lyrics. People might not have liked it, but he was right when he said Pink Floyd was finished when he left.
I have just had the best experience of my life at a show from Roger Waters in This Is Not A Drill Tour. This is just a masterpiece from a legendary musician & the nostalgic journey was something that’ll live forever in my mind. Just an incredible piece of Artistic talent. Pure joy and an emotional experience. 🐖☝️
@@creepingbrain Even before DSOTM, he was the creative director of the band. Once Syd Barrett left, Roger steered the ship. Almost ALL of the best songs before Dark Side are either exclusively Roger's or he had a big hand in them. This includes tender ballads like "Julia Dream" and psychedelic jam numbers like "The Embryo." Without Roger, there would have been no Pink Floyd after Syd. The music produced by Gilmour's revived Floyd after Roger left is proof enough that without Roger, there is no Pink Floyd. David's ersatz Floyd was good enough when it reproduced the old classics live, but all the new material was just terrible.
Unfortunately that will never happen because he speaks the truth all he will receive are smears. PF my favorite band now I mostly just listen to Roger because the other members joined in the smearing against him and have fundraisers for war.
I vaguely remember, as a very young lad, lying on my father's lap,opposite me, my little brother doing the same, listening to Roger in the late hours of the night. I remember the lucid tranquility his voice alongside his music offered. Tonight I listen to his music once more. Twenty years later and the feelings bubble up unharmed and unchanged, I'm still that young lad on that late South African evening. Thank you Roger. I hope young lads around the world continue to listen to your music, maybe, while lying on their pops lap. I love you Dad.
The album itself is like a loop. It is very hard to listen if you don't connect inmediatly with this depressive/repressive feeling on which the album is based.
One of the best songs from one of the best albums ever. Waters is a genius who can take you on a journey into darkness and back into light with his words. He tells such a moving story and makes you feel the intensity of his lyrics so deeply.
I was fortunate enough to see him do this live in Philadelphia in '85 when the album came out and Clapton did the tour with him.They played the Whole Pros and Cons Album & I fell in love w/ it. I still own the vinyl and listen to it in it's entirety several times a year. The official videos that came out were pretty bad and don't do justice to the songs, however the imagery the record provokes for me are entertaining, scary, puzzling, sad and funny & all in 42 minutes, courtesy of the genius of Waters and how he brings the story, Vocals, backing vocals, guitar work, horns, spoken word, sound effects etc all in at the right time and in just the right amount to keep you fully engaged as you try to piece together what this tale is about. Hint , best I can figure it's about: love, lust, fidelity, happiness, divorce, despair, joy, hope, confusion, anger, big rigs, diners, old Westerns, dreams, nightmares, hitchhiking, power, insecurity and a whole lot more -- so, it's about being human. Almost 40 years on and It's a fine album still.
He had good teachers, Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Pete Townshend. I was at the live show in 1984 at Maple Leaf Gardens. Roger was 18 years younger back then than I am now. Eric Clapton was on the stage. The sound was everywhere. They turned that crappy hockey rink into a concert hall, and everything was super-entertaining and engaging. Even Welcome to the Machine sounded every bit Floyd without the other three guys. Interesting. And there was humour, as well. Roger even played If that night, a beautiful little acoustic number from Atom Heart Mother. One of the best shows that I have ever seen. Only Elton John and Rush could be considered better, but we are splitting hairs here.
You’re bullshitting. That was CLAPTON? Wow I thought it was utter shit expecting a more Gilmour like solo. No disrespect to Clapton he’s a god but this truly shows how lost Gilmour and Waters are without each other.
AyE...that Sexual Revolution with Eric playing his guitar just foopin up there..oh yeah man.....am there...# the Bitch said something mystical,,"Herro...so I stepped back on the kerb again...very COOL 😎
@@qteep6112 a solo career is awsome. i wish people would stop being so reactive and mean. when people get along- work together instead of competing there would't be so much hate. That is all i am saying. Have a peaceful day rf.
This is the 21st Century, so of course there is something deeply wrong ... with all of us. Even you. And that Teddy Bear over there. Those two girls on the swings. The bunny with the Glock ... in every stranger's thighs.
You'd god damn top y'self if you realized the truth of our actual existence , jeeze, a bit tearful . I can almost understand how folk don't quite get the horror behind this track. Good job "they" do put barium in the water.
Quante note, quanti pensieri stanno nella testa di questo genio. Di quanta musica e poesia Roger riempie il mio cuore. Con questo bellissimo brano anche di lacrime i miei occhi. Restiamo umani. Love
A volte vorrei addormentarmi con la musica...ma se non ascolto questa meraviglia, mi sento incompleta. Vorrei ringraziarlo davvero, con un abbraccio, uno sguardo, un sorriso, una lacrima. Senza Roger, che cazzo di vita sarebbe? Senza i suoi richiami alla consapevolezza, mi chiedo se riuscirei a sopportare il dolore di questo bellissimo e terribile mondo. Come posso dirti grazie, Roger? Resto umana!
Lyrics In truck stops and hamburger joints In Cadillac limousines In the company of has-beens And bent-backs And sleeping forms on pavement steps In libraries and railway stations In books and banks In the pages of history In suicidal cavalry attacks I recognise... Myself in every stranger's eyes And in wheelchairs by monuments Under tube trains and commuter accidents In council care and county courts At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts In drawing rooms and city morgues In award winning photographs Of life rafts on the China seas In transit camps, under arc lamps On unloading ramps In faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognise...

thanks for these lyrics- Roger preformed this song at all his live shows for some time after its release. I've seen many shows and clearly remember it's omission some time ago. Look for it to return at his future shows - one of his post Floyd highlights- of which, you all know, there are many!
Roger was the BAD one in the group.He was the one who broke the group up and took the remaining members to court He wrote 'the wall' but it wasnt up to him that the band should be retired when he left. He thought he was the band! The judge said to him that it was Syd! Barrett! who named the group 'not you' ,so the remaining members continued on a successful world tour to which R.W was jealous of.+In 1967 he was 'Supposedly' caught red handed by a band member putting a sugar lump with LSD into Syd Barretts tea 20 mins before they went onstage singing Apples and Oranges on the Pat Boone show.He timed it to perfection that Barrett would start tripping just as they began to sing the song.Roger said! 'ill mime it'.Then after, he was the one who said 'Don't pick Barrett up' when they went to do a gig....He envied Barrett because he couldn't get the girls as well as he did.If it wasn't for Dave Gilmour he would be a retired architect...He wasn't the soul of the band he broke the band up and then wanted to get together again 24 years later.If it wasnt for the death of Rick we would have had a world tour.In 1979 he wanted to sack Rick then fate came and destroyed his dream of a world tour 24-25 years later.Why break up a group who were at the peak of their musical careers just because of an inflated ego and jealousy? He WASNT Pink Floyds soul! he was Pink Floyds death.......But he was a genius in the music field..........If he lived and let live, Pink Floyd would have eclipsed the Beatles 'in my opinion'as the greatest band ever!
Pink Floyd was a great band of course. The Best of the 70's worldwide. After Roger left, Pink Floyd became a band lacking of innovation. If you see the playlist of their concerts, mostly is from the 70's and the band is an orchestra of 20 members with Gilmore doing solos. PF just released a new album like 6 days ago it's called "later years" and is mostly 70s. From 40 years ago their later years. I would call it: their only years. No Waters, no creation.
That final moment with the sunset and Roger. Just amazing! Such a nice song. I actually stood up and clapped for this. I cannot believe I have never seen this video being a PF and Roger fan for 35 years. Life is a great adventure Kids. Live it, don't exist.
One of the first steps of my spiritual journey consciously began with the message found within this song... some of my favorite guitar work by Clapton is on this album.
Me Too! I imagine there is a great multitude of folks this song has helped on their respective awakenings.This song was instrumental in mine when I revisited it after about 25 years. I am a lifelong fan and had the record in vinyl when first released in my early teens. I only wish I got the message back then but it is true..."better late than never!"
There are Pros and Cons to everything. Except Rogers' greatness. To that there are only Pros. We thank you Roger, for that you have done and continue to do.
I love this song! reminds me of the past everyone is so Eger to forget, Why life from 1945-1989 was worth living. I wish I could get back to 1985 When the world made sense and the American dream was still alive!
"And now From where I stand Upon this hill I plundered from the pool..." Magic, still love and listen to this regularly after all these years - love 4:50am Go Fishing too, absolutely outstanding x
This song it kind of sounds like a "church song" when the pastor starts talking and the band just keeps playing smoothly. I'm not religious but I remember as a child the only reason I'd like to go to church was because of the band. I guess that's why now Music is my Church.
Temazo, puro sentimiento, es inexplicable, como me parte el alma, este tema y muchos de Roger. Roger el cerebro, de Pink Floyd, se eleva en este tema, a una dimension que pocos alcanzan. No estoy descubriendo nada.
Estoy deacuerdo en parte con vos Pero en pink floyd fijate que los temas mas conocidos los canta david Osea es medio no tan importante mi comentario pero yo creo que si no fuera porque david se metio en pink floyd en 1968 talvez no se hubiera hecho tan conocida la banda
tengo tiempo buscando un videoclip de este album, que salía una bella chicha que se desnuda ante el hombre que atiende un local, no recuerdo la canción.
I am a Palestinian! Roger is more Palestinian than I am. I love how he stands up for freedom. I first heard of him when I was living in Egypt 33 years ago I was in my teens. My Egyptian friends used to get stoned on his music and say his music take them to heaven. I am 50, I now understand and I listen to all his work and follow him everywhere. I wish he tours Australia one day. I get high on his music with no drugs at all
This music video takes me back to my childhood when there was a different kind of America. Things seemed to be more full of life and alive. I don't know how to describe it exactly but this music video makes me think of that time in my life when I was younger
un pezzo geniale, magnifico, profondo.....STUPENDO!!!! solo Roger Waters poteva creare un simile CAPOLAVORO!!!! un genio, un grandissimo!!!!! grazie x sempre Roger Waters!!! Enzo57Italy
I've been listening to this song since high school-30 years ago. Has never grown old. Eric Clapton's guitar work, Waters range and lyrics. So powerful, so poignant.
Really touching. Voice, music and landscapes show us the man who works, who brings home his bread with difficulty. In the bars on his routes he finds real people. Roger Waters has always "seen" reality as it is and has transmitted it in music. Life is more acceptable. Thank you so much ❤️
I was a kind of lonely teenager and that womans voice at the beginning of the song used to really break me up. I used to think how great it would be if a nice lady talked to me like that.
Mr.Waters insight is superman like. Nobodys getting anything past him if it is of the slightest injustice. I would love to thank him for being the voice of so many.
Roger's soul is poured out in his lyrics, singing and writing. Pink floyd was equally every member's efforts, but roger's specialty is writing lyrics and melodies and damn does he do that well.
I travelled to London in the summer of 85 from Glasgow to see him perform the pro's and cons in its entirity in Earls court.To hear this, and the gunners dream live with Clapton on guitar made it one of my most memorable gigs.
It's been almost thirty years since I discovered this album (at the time, 1988, it had been out for around four years) and I can still recite every line of this song from memory.
I been a Pink Floyd fan for many years now, from the age of 11... 49 now, I always thought & assumed Dave was the back bone of Pink Floyd, after listening to Roger's solo albums over the years, I now understand most of his work & realise that Roger was infact the back bone of Pink Floyd then, absolute lyrical genius 👏

One of the best underrated albums of Music history - 'The Pros and Cons of hitchhiking'

Lyrics
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs
And sleeping forms on pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts on the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now, from where I stand
Upon this hill
I plundered from the pool
I look around
I search the skies
I shade my eyes
So nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes, it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love

I don't think he would've made it without them either though. Such an amazing combination of people.
@@kirklandwhatley That's correct. The combination is what made them great. Apart from each other, they were so so.
No doubt.
Pink Floyd WAS Roger Waters. Not to mention David Gilmore`s unforgettable guitar.
One of the first steps of my spiritual journey consciously began with the message found within this song... some of my favorite guitar work by Clapton is on this album.

Yep.

There are Pros and Cons to everything. Except Rogers' greatness. To that there are only Pros. We thank you Roger, for that you have done and continue to do.
The only cons from this is he's egocentric side of himself. But I don't blame him, he's a genius anyways
When a dream turns into an amazing album you know it' from a great mind like Rogers
This blows me away just the same as 30 years back!
I love this song! reminds me of the past everyone is so Eger to forget, Why life from 1945-1989 was worth living. I wish I could get back to 1985 When the world made sense and the American dream was still alive!
Epically sad song...
He`s a really great song writer and seems to write a lot of sad songs. I love his music and songs. His songs make me reflect a lot.
Great Song
the best song of the album
The best song of the 80's.
For me the best song of the 80's goes to The Gunner's Dream from The Final Cut album.
Not now John is the one from Final Cut I really love. A more straight forward rock song which Floyd always do well.
I vote for "Go Fishing".
The whole album is my favourite song lol
Excellent song. The way Roger sings and his expressions reminds me a lot of David Boiwe(RIP)
Neighbors are cutting up onions again... Thank you ROGER.
loving the 40 seconds of unblinking, unbroken eye contact from 4:07 - 4:47 between rog and i
Let's give it up for Andy Newmark. Absolutely phenomenal drumming on this album. Every instrument in out there in the mix, nothing is too subtle.
Roger will always be the heart and soul of Pink Floyd, thank you for everything ❤️
Great song deep in my wounded soul...
My favourite music of all times. I was a teen then, i am 45 now. It is just perfect.
Me too
This album is part of my DNA. For want of a better word.....my soul.
I m 56 and still listening to that masterpiece from morocco with love Roger waters

Really love this song,even think this is the best song of Roger.
I agree!
Exactly genius musician Roger Waters! Thanks Mr Roger Waters ‼️
Thanks for the posting!
Temazo, puro sentimiento, es inexplicable, como me parte el alma, este tema y muchos de Roger. Roger el cerebro, de Pink Floyd, se eleva en este tema, a una dimension que pocos alcanzan. No estoy descubriendo nada.
Buen comentario. Viva Roger!!!
Asi mero paisa’, el tocayo es un Maestro!
El mejor disco de Roger waters y Radio kaos
Estoy deacuerdo en parte con vos
Pero en pink floyd fijate que los temas mas conocidos los canta david
Osea es medio no tan importante mi comentario pero yo creo que si no fuera porque david se metio en pink floyd en 1968 talvez no se hubiera hecho tan conocida la banda
tengo tiempo buscando un videoclip de este album, que salía una bella chicha que se desnuda ante el hombre que atiende un local, no recuerdo la canción.
great roger waters.
Beautiful song ! Petersburg Russia
such a powerfully emotional song.
My wife and I start every road trip with album for over 20 years.
Eric Clapton and everyone else involved with this masterpiece....we thank you
I am a Palestinian! Roger is more Palestinian than I am. I love how he stands up for freedom. I first heard of him when I was living in Egypt 33 years ago I was in my teens.
My Egyptian friends used to get stoned on his music and say his music take them to heaven. I am 50, I now understand and I listen to all his work and follow him everywhere. I wish he tours Australia one day. I get high on his music with no drugs at all
roger waters es el mas grande de la musica en toda la galaxia deberia aber un monumento a su persona en inglaterra en vida antes q muera
Claro que si.
This music video takes me back to my childhood when there was a different kind of America. Things seemed to be more full of life and alive. I don't know how to describe it exactly but this music video makes me think of that time in my life when I was younger
That’s because everything seems more alive when you’re younger.
Che dire!!! Roger è. sara' per sempre la mente di un mitico gruppo, CHE genio.....
Dopo Syd!
After Syd
pienamente d'accordo!! genio Roger!!
Written in 1984. Still relatable.
Released in 1984. Written well before then.
un pezzo geniale, magnifico, profondo.....STUPENDO!!!! solo Roger Waters poteva creare un simile CAPOLAVORO!!!! un genio, un grandissimo!!!!! grazie x sempre Roger Waters!!! Enzo57Italy
I've been listening to this song since high school-30 years ago. Has never grown old. Eric Clapton's guitar work, Waters range and lyrics. So powerful, so poignant.
Lost my farther 10 years ago tonight just after midnight 19th October..thank you for introducing me to Roger waters from childhood r.i.p.dad ❤️❤️
M A S T E R P I E C E RW is a genius!!!
Really touching. Voice, music and landscapes show us the man who works, who brings home his bread with difficulty. In the bars on his routes he finds real people. Roger Waters has always "seen" reality as it is and has transmitted it in music. Life is more acceptable. Thank you so much ❤️
Ive seen Waters live.... im to the right in politics but i still love the way Roger put his words.....
I was a kind of lonely teenager and that womans voice at the beginning of the song used to really break me up. I used to think how great it would be if a nice lady talked to me like that.
Mr.Waters insight is superman like. Nobodys getting anything past him
if it is of the slightest injustice. I would love to thank him for being the voice of so many.
Hi.the legend roger is from another planet.
Лучший клип Роджера
Roger's soul is poured out in his lyrics, singing and writing. Pink floyd was equally every member's efforts, but roger's specialty is writing lyrics and melodies and damn does he do that well.
One of his best songs. There are many good Songs.
Из этого альбома, по моему мнению, самая лучшая песня! Слушаю много лет и мнение не изменил!
i love this song so much ,ill have it it played at my funeral
I travelled to London in the summer of 85 from Glasgow to see him perform the pro's and cons in its entirity in Earls court.To hear this, and the gunners dream live with Clapton on guitar made it one of my most memorable gigs.
It reminded me of One of my turns ❤️❤️
I feel this is more emotional and certainly sounds more vulnerable.
Some of the best work of his. Clapton is amazing on this album as well
Lyrics like you will never see again... pure genius.
Thank you, sir VIBING with you now, then, forever
I always come around and see what happens when you listen to very well respected musicians but there is only one man who gains my respect.
....truck, road and Pink Floyd.. life style ❤️
"Whatever you do Roger, don't blink!"
Too beautiful. Roger always be a genius.
Roger waters a true genius in music and lyrics world
Best Roger Waters song ever.
After amused to death
+Chuy Ortiz real? I've never been able to get into Amused outside of What God Wants.
+RedLabs Same, that was the only song in Amused that I liked
no way Amused is a piece of art!! It is so great!
DJDanceClassic I think that "Go Fishing" is the best. This song is great, but "Go Fishing" is sublime.
It's all so easy now, as we lie here in the dark
Jenny Allfree 💧????
Absolute musical masterpiece
❤ très belle chanson j'adore
It's been almost thirty years since I discovered this album (at the time, 1988, it had been out for around four years) and I can still recite every line of this song from memory.
I love this man's music
Me too Syfoll, me too. He's a genius
man...Claptons guitar on this track is just immaculate.
I love the softness of this tune
