Roger Waters Unveils Memorial To His Father
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- Two ITV News reports on how Roger finally found out what happened to his father, killed at Anzio in WW2. In February 2014, on the 70th anniversary of his father's death, Roger unveiled a memorial to him and to Royal Fusiliers Z Company ("Company Zee," as he pronounced it in the song When The Tigers Broke Free).
"Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal
In the end..."
A quote from the track "Two Suns In The Sunset" from the Final Cut album. Always moved me, that song...
He made a song called "when the tigers broke free" with the lyrics at the end saying "and that's how the high command took my daddy...from me"
Thanks for recording this broadcast. I was trying to explain to my kids the song’s meaning and this was perfect to share with them. Lost my grandfather and his brother during the Italy Campaign. US Army but still the same thing. It’s almost 17 years since I lost my brother in Iraq. I made it through to retirement in the Marines. My father made it through Vietnam. I’m starting to understand why he never gets patriotic about having to go to war, I’m starting to feel that way myself now. Like the song “the band played waltzing Matilda” I understand that song now. I hope my kids don’t join the military. I need to break the cycle.
I'm happy for Roger , glad he got a memorial for his father and fellow soldiers.
Wow that is incredible. Amazing the amount of emotions Roger revealed through the wall album
The Final Cut revolves around Eric Fletcher Waters.
oh god, thank you for posting this
Thanks for posting
if only some fathers were as good as roger was a good son ..............
The world will be much better. We are talking about a son that never meet his father still he always look for him.
Well done Harry once again you have gone beyond what is expected of an ordinary man.You are no ordinary man. From an ex serving soldier.
Sorry for the loss of your father, hopefully this is at least some closure to you and your family.
Thanks for sharing!
So sad and tragic maybe this will bring some closure to Roger.
Wow man that is amazing that Roger was able to go there to see his dad it moved me to tears
Now seventy five years gone, RIP.
Another great album that only Roger wrote! How Davo gets away with performing the songs is beyond me 🥺
My maternal grand father was drafted from Canada to Uk in WW2
❤❤❤😢
yea the fletcher memorial
When the Tigers Broke Free
LEST WE FORGET.
Makes sense now.
I didn't know his dad's middle name was 'Fletcher' -- a name that has something to do with attaching the feathers to arrows, back in the day before the invention of the gun. The song "The Fletcher Memorial Home" from THE FINAL CUT takes on a whole new meaning now, his dad's death being due to decisions by "incurable wasters of life and limb" -- with Roger, if he had his way, establishing a kind of insane asylum where all the world's evil war promulgators ought to be incarcerated . . . "Now the final solution can be applied..."
the war, for you. is over now roger. let yourself rest now...
Warriors weigh only one thing. victory, that anything other than victory is unacceptable. freedom we fight for and the love for his brethren.

Hey Roger Water this is GoD
Tem Quase 2 mil Brasileiros Enterrados aí na Itália !!!! Aqui no Brasil , o Chamamos de " Pracinhas " . 50 mil Homens foram enviados á Itália , Muitos Morreram , porém Lutaram grandes Batalhas , Conquistando Território Ocupado . Como em ; Monte Castello , Batalha contra um batalhão Alemão que Durou 2 meses .... Pena que aqui , É um País sem memória .
When the tigers broke free:
"It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives
And kind old King George
Sent mother a note
When he heard that father was gone
It was, I recall
In the form of a scroll
With gold leaf adorned
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp
It was dark all around
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company Z
They were all left behind
Most of them dead
The rest of them dying
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me"
For Eric Fletcher Waters
What GOD wants GOD Gets
God help us all...
His father helped to bring Hitler to his end...
Thats my sexy babe Roger Waters he list his father so young he did a great job with his music and gŕeat tribute to his dad
With all due respect Mr . Waters, thousands of young boys and girls lost their fathers in the War.
Roger has acknowledged that many times...certainly you could be sympathetic to a man who lost his father before he ever had a chance to know him.
@@stephenstone8480 Very familiar with the loss of his father in Anzio, Italy. That's my point. He acts like he's the only one. He helped his friend Geldoff fund the Eritrean Genocide due to his arrogance, handing millions to that Monster, Haile Mengistu. No songs for those dead fathers. I liked his music though.
@@guymontag9577 "He acts like he's the only one" -- WTF??? The song after "Vera Lynn" on the album (and in the movie) THE WALL has the lyric: Bring the boys back home! Don't leave the children on their own! No! No! Bring the boys back home!" Right there he acknowledges the other CHILDREN who were to become fatherless because of the war. He knows he's not the only kid who grew up without a dad. "He acts like he's the only one" . . . BULLSHIT, you evil fucking prick! You liked his music -- but I'm guessing he doesn't need you to be a 'fan' of his.
Well his dad would turn over his grave if he knew Waters is a tankie
I don't know about the statement "the british high command took my daddy from me" - It was more like Hitler, Mussolini and their aspirations did. But of course that quote is art and it is very personal. I just hope , for logic and reasons sake....Waters really doesn't think that way
Narcissist. What about the other 100,000’s that died there? Americans, Germans, Italians, Aussies......they had children, too! Understand his anger to the King, but he is not unique, just famous.
