  • Released in 1983, "The Final Cut" is the title track from Pink Floyd's album The Final Cut.
    Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals 2018 Remix - Dolby Atmos’ on Blu-ray out now: PinkFloyd.lnk....
    Collector’s Edition of The Dark Side Of The Moon on crystal clear vinyl out now: pinkfloyd.lnk....
    The Final Cut is an anti-war concept album, who Roger Waters alone is credited for writing. The music explores what Waters regards as the betrayal of fallen British servicemen-such as his father-who during the Second World War sacrificed their lives in the spirit of a post-war dream.

      Such an interesting way to talk about intimacy and vulnerability. Adding into all the back ground noise many of us might have. The added layer of rock star adding to the shadows. "... would you sell your story to rolling stone?" Such a sad song on many levels, yet it gives me hope? Love how music can do that.

    I love Roger Waters voice singing from a calm soft voice into a high almost breaking point. I'd never heard someone emulates him. His voice is so heartbreaking to hear especially on the Final Cut.

  • @iancunningham5576

    The Final Cut is an extremely underrated album.
    It is barely a Pink Floyd album.
    A deeply personal Roger Waters project. That succeeds over time beyond its immediate emotional response.
    Wonderful guitar work by David Gilmour.
    It's raw. Very beautifully heartbreaking. If there is such a thing it succeeded. And continues to.

      That's clearly utterly on purpose. He knew the album was the Final Cut for the band, and the Final Straw for him because the rest of the boys couldn't deal with him anymore, and for good reason. Not even a Pink Floyd album, first of all. It's a Waters solo album. Anyway, Roger's brother in law directed the videos, so there's that as well.

      Waters had never been a confident vocalist and, on one occasion, after repeated studio takes, Waters noticed him writing on a notepad. Losing his temper, he demanded to know what Kamen was doing, only to find that Kamen had been writing, "I Must Not Fuck Sheep" repeatedly.[2][19] Waters said that "a lot of that aggravation came through in the vocal performance, which, looking back, really was quite tortured."[20]

      That's awful, however I'd be wary of blaming all of that on the music, and not to discount your earlier suffering at all.
      I listened to all this music for years in my teens and even pre-teens,
      and I never had it affect me to that point, although in ones teens this type of music can imprint and mark you, no doubt, and I have also had a history of suffering from depression, anxiety, panic, etc. on and off for decades. For me, much of this music is cathartic, The Final Cut should be like therapy once you get through it a few times. It's supposed to be exorcising all this bad, negative shit, and focusing the "protagonist's" anger about war and his father (as in The Wall) and the current (1982) Falklands state of affairs, which sucked, power mad world leaders who have forgotten the lessons of WWI and II, Not Now John is about being on the lowest rung of the business end of a declining British Empire
      and industry and competing with superior forces that are now bound and out to destroy you, and then the ending, Two Suns
      in the Sunset is about an apparent nuclear apocalypse, but it's clear by the song's end (which is upbeat!) that it's in fact, a false apocalypse. It's just
      the protagonist dwelling on what could happen, versus what does in fact happen in reality. I hope that helps. The Final Cut is a dark album, but it's supposed
      to be making sense of, and focusing its anger upon, very legitimate targets that Waters as the author was focusing on at the time, that humanity saw the world
      nearly decimated in WWII and the Cold War and still didn't seemingly learn any lessons from this, and some of it is
      leftovers or continuation from The Wall. The Wall isn't a load of laughs, either, really, which Waters admits to nowadays, but it is cathartic. I wouldn't take either
      too seriously, though they are serious albums in intent. They are both draining albums emotionally, at times, I readily admit.
      I hope this helps you somehow. I recommend balancing it out with some upbeat pop music afterwards! Listen to some China Crisis...hehe.

    The way this song compliments and serves as an unfortunate continuation from the Wall is what blew me away. There references are everywhere - "clear blue skies", "kid who had a big hallucination", his issues with his ex, repurposed chorus instrumental from Comfortably Numb, and the grand finale - "I never had the nerve to make the final cut" - which to me always related to Roger never really being able to completely tear down the wall. As many have said - and underrated masterpiece

      I agree that people criticize this album because Roger Waters wrote it, but it’s not a “stupid,” criticism, as you say. People criticized the album because Roger Waters didn’t allow any other band members in to add their creativity. He wanted to be the star of the show, and although the music in this album is spectacular, Roger shouldn’t’ve prevented his band members and his friends from contributing. I can guarantee you this album would be much better if Gilmour and the rest of the band was allowed to play.

      It certainly wasn't because he was the main songwriter, especially of the hits, and the driving force. The record company had to bring in outside help to make the later albums sound kind of like Floyd. I never liked those later songs because to me they didn't really sound like Floyd, just some lame copy. Just never thought those songs were very good. It seemed that Roger and Dave could not work together any more so splitting probably made sense. Not like the band did much after Roger left. Two albums over how many decades?

      The band indeed was no longer Pink Floyd after he left. More like Pink Dave. Or David Floyd. Oh, they cynically (and financially) carried the name, but nothing more. I've always been a huge fan of Gilmour, but the more I researched the rift with Roger, the more I saw the break as resulting from the resentment of a passive man against a more dynamic one, without whom the passive man would have been just another excellent guitarist amongst a whole generation of excellent guitarists. And even without David's signature style, and Rick Wright's keys (which diminished in quality over time), Roger's solo albums have much more of a Floydian "edge" than Pink Dave's.

And then you have Rogers solo work of Radio Kaos, The Pro's and Con's of Hitchhiking, and possibly my favourite album of all time (after The Wall) - Amused to Death. The Floyd boys have genius working through their veins. Their music has been a massive part of my teens and into adult life, so thank-you Pink Floyd. x

    Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
    I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
    And far from flying high in clear blue skies
    I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
    If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
    And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
    And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
    Dial the combination, open the priest hole
    And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)
    There's a kid who had a big hallucination
    Making love to girls in magazines
    He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
    Could anybody love him
    Or is it just a crazy dream?
    And if I show you my dark side
    Will you still hold me tonight?
    And if I open my heart to you
    And show you my weak side
    What would you do?
    Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
    Would you take the children away
    And leave me alone?
    And smile in reassurance
    As you whisper down the phone?
    Would you send me packing?
    Or would you take me home?
    Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
    Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
    I held the blade in trembling hands
    Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
    I never had the nerve to make the final cut

    David's solos on "The Final Cut" were so emotional... It's like he knew that "this was it" with Roger. Or he just didn't care and what we have on The Final Cut is just a man who isn't caring at all. Whatever it is, it is some of the finest music ever recorded on vinyl.
