- Aveva solo cinque mesi Roger Waters quando perse il padre. Eric Fletcher Waters scomparve in una delle battaglie più cruente della seconda guerra mondiale dopo lo sbarco di Anzio e Nettuno, nello scontro del Fosso della Moletta, nei pressi di Aprilia. Era il 18 febbraio del 1944 ed il suo corpo non fu mai ritrovato.
Oggi, esattamente 70 anni fa, il fondatore e leader dei Pink Floyd per la prima volta visita il luogo esatto dove il padre ha combattuto.
Solo pochi mesi fa infatti il reduce inglese Harry Shindler, oggi 92enne, che combattè quelle battaglie per la liberazione di Roma, è riuscito a ritrovare dei documenti inediti conservati a Londra. Dagli appunti di un comandante inglese è stato così possibile, grazie alle coordinate segnate sul diario di guerra, risalire al punto esatto dove era accampato l'ottavo battaglione dei Fucilieri Reali.
Grazie Roger. Da italiano, non posso che sperare che l'Italia, pur essendo la terra in cui tuo padre ha perso la vita per gli errori dell'uomo, possa rappresentare al tempo stesso la speranza in un'umanità migliore e l'immagine del cambiamento in cui hai sempre creduto. Ed è sempre da italiano che, conoscendo la mia gente e le sue contraddizioni, continuo a dirmi che nel mare dell'ingiustizia brilla sempre, sulle coste, qualche luce di speranza. Un abbraccio.
He is not anti semit, but anti war and apartheid. Roger is humanity hero in this planet. His work is epitaph in his Dad monument . We love you Roger
Roger has the courage to tell the truth about many issues. Thank you Roger.
Oui tout a fait d'accord
Incredible human being. Roger Waters unfortunately gets a lot of unfair comments when he left Pink Floyd. Just look at this video, the love and respect he has for his father and all those that fought in WW1 and WW2. His human rights campaigns and just good old honest love he wishes on the world. I’m sick of hearing all the whining from the cry babies who still haven’t come to terms with the Roger leaving the band. That’s 36 years ago...time to grow up. Respect Roger for what he has contributed to this world...his music and his lyrics will live on forever.
Roger, I love you and will always believe that your dad was a hero in my book. I am a veteran myself and know what combat is like. This video made me cry because it reminded me of my dads funeral. I also will always believe that you are the best writer and musician that has ever lived, no one will ever be on the same level as you...ever! I love you for the existence of Pink Floyd and there will never be another band, to me, that will ever come close to you guys! Pink Floyd has been, is and always will be the best band in the world...ever! I am so sorry for the loss of your father.
What a song!..and what a singer!..gives you goosebumps listening to him..grieving for his father..and ranting against war and senseless killings..Thank you Roger Waters for changing our lives.
Thank you Roger you are a fantastic artist,a wonderful person your music will shine for ever we love you.
I'm so glad that Roger was finally able to get some closure on the death of his father. Many artists find their muse in drugs and alcohol, but Roger found his through his father. Without that bitterness that he carried throughout his life surrounding the circumstances of his fathers military service and untimely death, we wouldn't have the wonderful catalog of music from him. I'm sure his father is smiling down proudly on his son.
I'd guess he rather had his father instead of the successful music career...just thinking
In the corner of some foreign field, the gunner sleeps tonight...what' s done is done...
Great, great these words!!!!!
você tem razão .
MydirtyRat1 nice one
turns out Roger was huge human rights activist all along. I knew there was reason I gravitated to his music (specifically Final Cut album). Nobody has inspired me more.
Roger is awesome. He cares about Palestine as well. And no, he isn't an antisemite. He is just pro human rights.
A lot of people give him shit for the break up of PF as if it were just him. Many call him an egotistical asshole. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is a man who has been writing songs about war for like 50 years. He obviously hurts. He has mentioned in several interviews that a veteran stopped him at a concert and told him his dad would be proud of him. Well of course he would but I guess he needed to hear it.
@@asoulintension7769Pink Floyd might’ve not been a punk band, but everything they stood for is punk. Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Fascism, and so on.
Nice for Roger to pay respect to his dad, and other fallen comrades, a very moving tribute.
Grazie Roger , e grazie a tutta la tua incredibile generazione di musicisti che ha provato a cambiare il mondo..
I'm sure your grandfather and father would be extremely proud of you.❤️✌️
Ancora oggi a distanza di 70 anni Roger Waters si commuove pensando al padre mai conosciuto, onore a te e a tua padre Roger
A great tribute to the father of Roger Waters. Excellent song and very fitting for this video. I am happy for Roger finally getting this memorial in honor of his father. Thank you for this video and thank you to Roger for making beautiful music over the years and yes a big thank you to all veterans of World War Two.
What a Superb Video for a phenomenal human being and larger than life man, Roger Waters and his beloved father. Impeccable solution to decades of grief and confusion. OUTSTANDING POST. BRAVO.
Te respetamos por tú dolor de tú padre por eso Roger Walters tu música nos dice todo lo que has escrito y hablado en tú música qué es única y exclusivamente genial gracias por fundar una gran banda pink Floyd 👍 tú música se escuchará por generaciones futuras 🎸👏👏👂🎹🎷🎼y siempre recordaremos a los fallecidos como Syd barrert y Richard w.

To the children grown-up without a father...thanks Roger
RESPECT
Thank you Roger
Pink Floyd espetacular....
Thank you Roger
George Henry Waters, grandfather of Roger, died in battle Sept. 1916, WW I, when Eric Fletcher Waters was 2 years old. Eric Fletcher Waters died in battle, Feb. 1944, WW II, when George Roger Waters was 5 months old.
+steve swan So, I'm glad he made Pink Floyd finally. The most influenced rock group in history of a mankind ever.
So, there's two wars, that took away the memory of a father for two children
how beautiful a world without wars would be
steve swan thats why he built that wall great music comes from sadness n heartbreaks
steve swan for the first i khow that his grandfather was olso died in wrold war2.
My Dad was there. Monte Cassino. Italian campaign. He made it back- physically.
Mentally....part was missing.left on the battlefield.
Sorrry. It's a fuckn disgrace . Love and peace.
My dad also, ptsd is a terrible thing and those guys who served in WW2 had no clue what they were dealing with. God protect them all.
My dad was a guerilla in Greece for ELAS. He fought the fascists and Nazis with WWI weapons. He was 19. It changed him.
Grazie per aver reso pubblico a tutti noi questo video veramente toccante. Grazie 1000, Guido
Io c'ero, ho vissuto una giornata memorabile!!! emozionante aver visto il grandissimo Roger a due metri di distanza..
The Final Cut... Masterpiece !!!
Roger, you have come full circle. I hope you are at peace now in your head and your personal nightmare gone.
Уважаю Уотерса за то,что он своим творчеством почтил память всех погибших в войнах.
This is the "about" translated in English::: He was only five months when Roger Waters lost his father. Eric Fletcher Waters disappeared in one of the bloodiest battles of World War II after the landing of Anzio and Nettuno, in the battle of the Ditch Moletta, near Aprilia. It was February 18, 1944 and his body was never found. Today, exactly 70 years ago, the founder and leader of Pink Floyd for the first time visit the exact spot where his father fought. Just a few months ago in fact, the British veteran Harry Shindler, now 92 year old, who fought the battles for the liberation of Rome, was able to find the unpublished documents preserved in London. From the notes of a British commander was thus possible, thanks to the coordinates marked on the war diary, go back to the exact spot where he was camped on the eighth battalion of the Royal Fusiliers.
Thanks for the translation !
***** Thank you and your Patriot Guard Riders ! You provide a very honorable service to our community, Keep on Riding for Peace !
Respect
Immenso Roger!!!!!!!
Mi auguro che il tempo, ti abbia fatto trovare quella serenità che hai sempre ricercato disperatamente, e che ti abbia in qualche modo lenito un pò il dolore e il vuoto lasciato da una figura paterna.
GREAT HONOR!!!!!!
+ibanflo33 Grande uomo
I am glad that Roger had the chance to do this, as he's over 70, and may possibly not have that many more years to live (just like none of us never knows what's round the bend). He hopefully can now heal and come to full terms and get closure, like ALL of us should endeavour to do, before our lives are over (since then it's too late).
Rest in peace Mr. Fletcher. Thank's Roger Waters.
there are no words adequate all my life has lead to the moment of seeing this and we feel his pain-----the words are so haunting even more than before WE LOVE YOU ROGER
Paul Cormier to see this band 2 times is appreciated the music will take your heart
Eric Fletcher Waters! I salute you!
Quel signore con gli occhiali, alla sinistra di Waters, è mio zio, Harry Shindler, il “cacciatore di memorie”, uomo immenso, che “trova” i caduti dispersi della Seconda Guerra Mondiale.
Onore a lui!
Honour top rank to him
Thankyou
Very touching video. Roger Waters... WOW ! One of the greatest composer.
Just the right song. He sings from the heart. What a memorial for his beloved father
Roger Waters lost his father Eric Fletcher Waters, suffered a lot, father dead in World War II, nor even met his own father, is an inexplicable pain indeed.
Mr Water, i am so proud i was alive while you were, i have such respect for your music, god bless you Roger. I admire you for all of what you have done...
I love his lyrical satirical beautiful songwriting and his relevance is real. I recommend that people listen to Ric Ocasek's "Time Bomb" from his Beatitude album & wonder, while listening to the guitar ( that's delta blues ) if you are reminded of Pink Floyd and disturbed by the fact that neither Roger Waters or Dave Gilmour will be with us for much longer. RIP Mr. Ocasek. 😟😔🙁
Il mondo 🌏 avrebbe bisogno di milioni di persone come questa!
Love to the ends of this earth. Always an undying love. All will be revealed. Thanks to all who have passed in our wake. Forever love.
Thank you for this montage
The Final Cut is a masterpiece that shifted my horizons. My wife named Roger 'that crying man', not knowing who he is, or what he sings about.
I can't help to think of the soldier who murdered Roger's Father... How he had absolutely no idea of what he would be causing.
Thank You Roger
Murdered?
It's conflict.
Kill or be killed.
There is no doubt in my mind the deaths of his father and grandfather influenced greatly the life and music of Roger Waters. My family knew this sacrifice too!
un ricordo emozionante,triste, ma intenso nella figura Roger Waters ,Grande Padre Grande figlio.
Melhor banda de todos os tempos, Pink Floyd e Led Zeppelin. ♥
Concordo plenamente. Tenho 60 anos, ouço rock desde 6. Meu pai adorava batera minha tia professora piano. Aos seis 1966 ganhei som Philips c album discos, Beatles Stones e outros. Alternei por mais meio século meu gosto. Zeppellin qdo vivia agitado FLOYD qdo vivia época mais Light. ISSO até anos atrás qdo filhas formadas vivendo suas vidas e antes chegarem meus netos, 2, casal. De uma década p cá ouço 2 igualmente. Os melhores. Tull purple csny dylan Hendrix joplin genesis traffic yes allman grandfunk rush free pie heep who stones Beatles slade tenyearafter quo outros vem logo atrás... na cola. É mto som massa anos 60/70.
Thank you very much Mr. Waters for everything
EVEN THOUGH HE COULD NOT MEET HIS FATHER, HE HONORED HIS MEMORY IN THE LYRICS OF HIS SONGS, AND IN THE CREATION OF ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER CREATED "THE WALL" ALL HIS LIFE HE WAS LOOKING FOR THE PLACE WHERE HIS BELOVED FATHER DIED, AND THIS IS THE BEST GIFT FOR ROGER TO FIND THAT PLACE AND BE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE MAN WHO GAVE HIM LIFE.
Respect
All too often, the wretches who start these kind of wars don't get their just deserts. Even if they get any form of mortal justice, by then thousands, or more, will have payed the price...and their loved ones will still keep paying.
For the record, I'm a vet, and the son of a vet. The soldier is willing to lay down his life to defend the ideals he or she believes in. Eric Fletcher Waters was one of those people.
There is a certain radio show on NPR that I absolutely boycott because they took the cheap shot of calling Roger Waters putting the names and pictures of KIAs on "The Wall" during his tour a cheap shot. Those people deserved to be remembered, and Roger actually ASKED the loved ones of these soldiers in order to honor their sacrifice.
I hope he will find some closure...I'm certain if the elder Waters were alive, he'd be proud of his son.
+William Sanders right on William I'm the son and grandson of a vet thank you William I appreciate love and respect all of yall
Sadly, the majority have learned that war is futile. I say sadly, because the powers that be don't care. I fear for the future of mankind. We are ruled by selfish lunatics.

Simply amazing..fantastic..
Heavy staff, thanks for posting it.
Grazie di cuore al papà e al figlio
Hopefully Roger found some closure, and a little peace, from finally knowing exactly where his father fell.
Always, and in this too, great Roger, thanks.
Great
Very nice and touching.
excellent tribute of a son to his father, congratulations Roger Waters
I just love the bashing of the drum kit.
My respect to this fantastic person and artist! Great Roger Waters.... Great forever!!!
per non dimenticare !!! MAI !!!
Grandiosa canción de un disco muy interesante.
that's a beautiful tribute. shine on Mr. Waters
Roger is such a beautiful human
No more wars
Pare chiedesse sempre a sua madre, del ritorno del padre, che purtroppo non avvenne mai. Questo potrebbe essere uno dei motivi che ha segnato la vita di Roger Waters, la sua sensibilità artistica ed il suo percorso musicale.
also 40 years before in the near Pompei Roger gave another important contribution ...
Amazing song.....
Eduardo Solis I. agree it's great to agree to appreciate exactly great music
♡sarà sempre nei nostri cuori♡♡♡

Translation of the above...
Non ci sono parole al dolore che traspare in tutte le opere di roger, lo amiamo perché è sempre stato lui il vero pink

Just another, eternal piece of music, written by Genius Roger Waters.
Thanks Roger !!! Your a great musician !!! God Bless You...!!!
Grazie
Cambiare il mondo non è facile ma tu Roger Waters continui a lottare per i tuoi ideali che sono anche di chi ti ama non importa quello che dicono gli ignoranti sempre grande ammirazione per te
Roger Waters' father died in Italy during World War II and was part of the British allied forces! He died a hero .
I'm sorry Mister Waters for your father . Much love and respect for you
a salute to the man who gave his son enough material for 2 of the greatest albums of all time. a hero, who died to protect us from the nazi menace.
It's in my opinion much better than the official video for this title.
Realmente siento la Emoción de esté hermoso homenaje de don Eric Fletcher Waters. Me puedo imaginar cómo enfrentó la pérdida de sus Padre desde muy joven. Sólo desearle siempre la Paz y Esperanza para su vida y también a sus Familias. Gracias por la Música 🎶 Mágica de Pink Floyd. Y las letras de Canciones de Roger Waters. 💪🤟😎
My Favourite Roger waters track Cheers
♥ Time and the only one who has the last word. ♥ ♥ Honor to their sacrifice, never forgotten. The generation of the righteous... :(
Never ever forget your past!!
Makes me angry and cry , at the same time , powerful music my friend , tod . . .
His father never knew his father. His grandfather was killed in WW1 before his son - Roger's father was born. Two generations of children rendered fatherless before they even knew their fathers. Heartbreaking.
I'm crying watching. ♥
Ik ook in Salvador wanneer hij zijn speech hield. Zo ontroerend
Muchas gracias hermano del corazon rogerts te amo mucho rino tuccini , argentina
Dear Roger Waters your the best
Wise man is always alone
I think that.. his brave grandfather and his increíble father always live in Roger. Message: I'm pacifist, but I will fight against any fascism.
In the Name of His Father
Roger still carries a lot of pain, not just for his father, but for the injustices perpetrated by our governments today. Yet, he could have avoided treating his fellow Pink Floyd members like shit. He made himself unbearable, he could not control his anger despite his intelligence and charisma.
Having said that, we love him anyway... Thank you for the wonderful music, thank you for being an inspiration.
He acted arrogantly to his fellow members but thankfully, he's been able to renew those friendships and admitted he was wrong.
The Fletcher Memorial Home
Sei il più grande di tutti, Roger!
I hate that having grown up without a father is a thing I share with Roger. Only I still haven't found neither the place where the Serbian army killed my dad in 1992, nor his remains. Hopefully someday...
Questi sono momenti privati. È brutto perdere un padre. Non è un spettacolo.
Roger waters....my Hero!!
R.i.p ten. Eric Fletcher Waters.
Ainda bem que descobriram o sitio onde o pai do George foi morto, e assim uma devida homenagem do seu prodígio filho, Roger és o Maior.
tudo que é do Pink Floyd eu adoro e amo muito
