Great man and conversation, I like how he says that "Its interesting that people connect with previous generations accross large barriers of time" , We need to remeber that.. these were his choices: Neil Young - Helpless Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jaques Morelenbaum & Everton Norton (Babel Soundtrack) - Endless Flight Leonard Cohen - Bird on a Wire Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind Giacomo Puccini - E Lucevan Le Stelle (from Tosca) sung by Franco Corelli Billie Holiday - God Bless The Child Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor - 4th movement (Adagietto)
what roger waters has to say, far outweighs any accent you lot are arguing about,, this man is a genius and if he spoke in a moon accent i would still love him always !
I lived with Thin Lizzy's Roadies in west London 1973 and speaking of groupies the door never stopped knocking with beautiful hip girls wanting to come inside (Pun intended)
Sorry, no one bothered before, so here's the list 11 years late. 1. 'Helpless' Neil Young 2. 'Endless Flight' from movie 'Babel' 3. 'Bird on the Wire' Leonard Cohen 4. 'My Funny Valentine' Chet Baker 5. 'Georgia on My Mind' Ray Charles 6. 'E lucevan le stelle' from 'Tosca' sung by Franco Corelli 7. 'God Bless the Child' Billie Holliday 8. From 4th Movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5
Help pls, from a kind soul - English is not my 1st lenguage 😪 what does he say at 24:31? And then at 25:04... I don't understand what he says he regrets
He was saying he didn't sleep around a lot and dated, then married the girl who stayed next door to him but he did stray from time to time meaning he seen other girls behind her back and he regretted doing it to her.
@@alexisbuchanan2028 thank you! I thought he meant the opposite, that he regretted not having lived a more rockstar life in that sense. At 25:04 for my life I cannot decipher his words, does he say "it wasnt a serious love"?
Nope...definitely Scottish, it was a parody of the same accent he did for "The Happiest day of our lives" and as the interviewer is Scottish this is why he does it...you didn't listen closely enough.
It's pretty disrespectful, especially coming from a composer/musician, when he chooses "Endless Flight from the movie Bable" (7:30) without bothering to mention who the composer and musician of the piece is. It's like Ryuichi Sakamoto choosing "The Great Gig in the Sky from a TV advert". Class always tells.
![Desert Island Discs 1989 - Eric Clapton & Sue Lawley [Full Interview Audio]](/img/n.gif)
Fantastic interview with the greatest artist alive ,,who makes perfect sense on all grounds
On all grounds? You are either very young, very stupid or very easily influenced.
On April 10th, 1975 (in Seattle)... he called his wife, and a man answers.
It's on The Wall.
Great man and conversation, I like how he says that "Its interesting that people connect with previous generations accross large barriers of time" , We need to remeber that.. these were his choices:
Neil Young - Helpless
Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jaques Morelenbaum & Everton Norton (Babel Soundtrack) - Endless Flight
Leonard Cohen - Bird on a Wire
Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine
Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind
Giacomo Puccini - E Lucevan Le Stelle (from Tosca) sung by Franco Corelli
Billie Holiday - God Bless The Child
Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor - 4th movement (Adagietto)
An exceptional human being
As a true Pink Floyd fan i thank you a billion times and will share ,,,thanks
I was impressed that he close a Bosendorfer for his grand piano - most people would have asked for a Steinway.
Mate, he's English. He was born in Surrey and schooled in Cambridge. All the other members of Pink Floyd were from Cambridge, also.
Nick Mason wasn't.

'All the Pretty Horses' a masterpiece. First of the 'Border' trilogy, however.

I would love to see Roger with Neil Young.
Fourth movement of Gustav Mahler's 5th symphony
I hate when a rock star picks all rock tunes, so it’s nice that Roger Waters chose such a varied and open set of recordings.
Can anyone list the music chosen for non-english speakers, please?
Sorry, no one bothered before, so here's the list 11 years late.
1. 'Helpless' Neil Young
2. 'Endless Flight' from movie 'Babel'
3. 'Bird on the Wire' Leonard Cohen
4. 'My Funny Valentine' Chet Baker
5. 'Georgia on My Mind' Ray Charles
6. 'E lucevan le stelle' from 'Tosca' sung by Franco Corelli
7. 'God Bless the Child' Billie Holliday
8. From 4th Movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5

He says it wasn't a glorious love in. Meaning they didn't get on well.
