'Hey Joe, where you going with that dogma in your head? You can prove your point but your kids will still be dead.' Lines that that just send shivers down my spine. They are the reason why Roger was, is and always will be the heart and soul of Pink Floyd.
He was an inseparable part of the Heart and Soul of Pink Floyd. It wasn't all lyrics tho. Gilmour and Wright and Mason made the complete circle. It was a band. It wasn't a solo thing. Pity they still can't put their differences behind them. Edit: spelling
I think this is some of the man's best singing, and one of his best songs. There are plenty of songs that he struggles to sing, but he really pegs it here. And no one brings more of their own human pain to their lyrics than Waters. He is an international treasure.
I love this song too. But I think the main part of the singing is done by Paul Carrack, not Waters. Hence why it sounds so much better than usual. Haha
I love all Pink Floyd as a band or solo no matter if it is Waters or Gilmour but Folded Flags is very special indeed. I doubt there will be another band like Pink Floyd again. Their music is already immortal.
I have never cried over a film ore TV show in my life but when watching this it reminded me so much of my Nan and granddad i just couldn't help but to cry my eyes out.
I listened to this song and as lovely as it is, it's the simple yet stunning sound of the blackbird in the background that reduced me to tears. It reminded me of the film and Jim and Hilda's love until the end when everything has died. Stunning. By the way Margaret Thatcher tried to ban the film because she felt it was derogatory to her war in The Falklands. Enough said!
@@kyleshiflet9952 when she died, “ding dong the witch is dead” hit #1 on the British charts. And in her later senile years, she cried a lot because she couldn’t understand why everyone hated her. She was never really a hero to lots of people.
Jim and Hilda were probably conservative voters, as so many were. Three landslide elections of Thatcher show this. Especially when socialism was largely deemed to ruin the British economy with lofty but unrealistic ideals. There is obviously a lot of hatred for Thatcher, but they're usually the ones the scream the loudest. The silent majority is happy to sit and wait until election day.
@@amberallen2994 It is about music but there always will be some individual who will bring politics into the subject. For your information, Trump didn't get Nobel but your oBummer did and for what?

Waters early solo stuff is great. This takes to me the Radio Kaos tour. He didn't play any from this album but the very end after the mock nuke strike Billy says "there is more to life then lucky strikes" etc, it was very chilling. Even the morse code at the end of this. Rock on roger.
my wife and myself saw Roger waters in manchester this yr...The man is brilliant..no backups to his voice and talent..Just raw roger. I bought this on tape ( audio ) when it came out..
This song and Towers of Faith I think are two of the best songs that Roger Waters wrote in his solo career. They are tight simple songs that deliver their message without being too heavy handed. I think this is when he had his Bleeding Hearts Band so Paul Carrack is doing those parts that Dave Gilmour would do. A truly beautiful song.
This movie is how I discovered Roger Waters' solo work, hearing it now still brings back that same feeling I had when I first saw the film and its ending. It's this odd mixture of being devastated by what just happened and being at such a complete loss of words that at first I couldn't even muster the tears until the gravity of the ending really sank in. The way the song and credits cut off those last few barely audible words from the old couple seemed to solidify their fate and always left me feeling like I'd just been awoken from a dream. This movie and its soundtrack are beautiful and gutting all at once. Still one of the most emotionally gripping pieces of animation I've ever seen to this day.
so many ppl claim to be floyd/waters fans and never heard of this song,a bitter sweet film topped with an amazing sound track,ty for uploading this little gem brings a tear to my eye everytime
humfey1 So what else does someone need to know about to meet your standard of a fan? I'd rather just not be what YOU consider a fan in your arrogance than someone who judges people I have never met because they never heard one song from one soundtrack from one obscure movie.
I discovered this song before watching the actual movie since I was looking for more underrated Water's work, and I decided to watch the film after a while. And god. I found that song beautiful before but now that I've seen the whole thing and that I understand the story it strikes me so much I can't stop myself from crying every time I listen to it. The movie itself is emotionally strong but that song and Bowie's one bring something even more powerful to it.
Heard it first time exactly when and where I should; at the end of the movie, while we were still under the shadow of the Cold War, with a lot of curious stuff going on behind the Iron Curtain that we were not at all sure about. It was the most perfect ending I ever saw.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for this upload. I recently have got my hands on this movie, and am overwhelmed by it`s power. The last song/end credits did make me emotional, this is so beautiful in it`s simplisity. I am glad I now also have that song, thank you, and be save. A fan of good cartoons.
Quand j'écoute cette chanson en repensant à l'histoire de ce film ( qui a été, est, et sera l'histoire de beaucoup de gens...) j'ai des frissons et une envie de pleurer!!! vous pouvez pas imaginer... L'Art a des pouvoirs...
When the wind blows is in the same line as Animal Farm, Watership Down, Plague Dogs, The Snowman. All British animations, and great story`s. The ending of this one is a bit of a downer, but still worthy of experiencing. My thanks to people who make such works of art, with true feelings.
I'm glad that someone edited this into radio K.A.O.S because it says multiple phrases that are leter mentioned in the fan edits. These are: "The powers that be", "There must be more to life than lucky strikes and some unlucky ones and folded flags and pipes and drums."

They should watch and talk about the movie in every school class as soon as the kids are old enough to understand what´s going on there. And they should watch it to the end, for this song is running in the credits. The kids need to hear this after watching the movie.

Paul Carrack sings the "Hey Joe, where ya goin' with that a gun in your hands…" part. That's why it sounds great. I'm not dissing Roger's singing, but give credit where it's due.
I wonder why I ever joined the military. Ghandi did so much for his country through passive resistance and martyrs like rosa parks made their stance. Dr. Martin Luther king paved the way for Barack Obama. We need more non violent solutions to the world's problems.

My first time I heard Pink Floyd was 1984, I was fourteen years old, now I'm fifty years old and still in love with Pink Floyd

Waters is really one of the greatest songwriters. Gilmour is a great guitarist.
This is more relevant now than ever

Im a Gilmie at heart, but this song almost always has me on the verge of tears, especially that lick at 3:38 for some reason.

Couldnt say it better
So true man but it's man most t primal instinct to kill his fellow man for a peace of land
this song is still relevant today
Theres only a handful of qualities about roger i admire but most chiefly is his splendid song writing.
fell in love with this song when was a child in the 80's,still sounds same today,thank you roger for all your work both floyd and solo,love you man
Agreed with the last post in every respect, and noticed there's no dislikes at this time. What's not to like? Great songwriting...

This has been proven by science, so don't try to deny it.
The saxophone blows my mind 😎
This song was too good to be wasted on an obscure album ... It should have been on Radio Kaos
Oh what do you know? A sad song to top off a sad movie! Perfect!

Better speak to the powers that be today
Hey Joe, where you goin'
With that gun in your hand?
You can take your revenge
But you'll still feel bad
There must be more to life than Lucky Strikes
And some unlucky ones
And folded flags and pipes
And drums
I stood in the wings with you
Our lives in the hands of a second-rate actor
Holding the high ground
Of some old stage
Oh babe
How do these jaded stars get so far away
Will they catch what the other actors say
Hey Joe, where you goin'
With that dogma in your head?
You can prove your point
But your kids will still be dead
Bring down the curtain
The soap opera must surely close
Before the cold wind blows
Hey Joe, where you goin'
With that gun in your hand?
You can take your revenge
But you'll still feel bad
Bring down the curtain
The show must close

And some unlucky ones
