    ------ About the song Us and them performed by Pink Floyd

i wrote a book yet to be published about my fathers survival of the holocaust. about half of it is in his words as i recorded him telling me his story. the other half is in my words based on observations written in a journal that documents a roots trip he led me on a few years after the recording. i understand, having made my living in music, that songs mean different things to different people and it's what you get out of it. but as i was listening to the song in my car this morning for the gazillionth time, i saw the image of my father as a 17 year old, describing what he told me years later, having just arrived at a slave labor camp in warsaw, poland, mere days after his family was gassed at auschwitz. upon arriving at this labor camp, the group was made to stand in formation all day in the hot sun before being permitted to enter. no food or water was given and captives were relieving themselves and feinting where they stood. while this was happening, my father saw a german gaurd lovingly at play with his guard dog beyond the fence. the guard was nicely dressed in a fresh uniform, contrasting my fathers ragged issue. and then he watched the guard feed his dog. my father recounts how he felt at that moment, wishing he was the dog when he saw that happening - for he'd have been taken better care of and well fed had he been the dog instead. when able, i found the lyrics here, to confirm what i thought might be consistant throughout the song. if this story is made into a film, i hope with permission of the band, to be able to use it for this scene.

    ------ About the song The narrow way performed by Pink Floyd

i think lyrics depicts the aging of man like he is heading towards end of something or death. as he can't delay it he should only focus on good time he had instead of aching limbs and helplessness like inability to hear

    ------ About the song Comfortably numb performed by Pink Floyd

When I was about 11-12 years old, I had Rheumatic Fever. I used to wake up with nightmares and sleepwalk around the house talking about my hands feeling like they were blown up like balloons by a vacume cleaner in reverse. When I heard this song for the first time, I was convinced the author/songwriter had Rheumatic Fever. It was strangely comforting to know I wasn't alone.

    ------ About the song Sheep performed by Pink Floyd

I think Mr. Waters got just the exact emotional response he sought, except of course the guy with the obama drivel whose head is obviously in the sand, So what i get from the song is Waters trying to say "hey people there's something very wrong here and it's time for all of us to think with our own minds,look with our eyes open, and feel with our own hearts before it's too late. the revolt at the end may or may not be the answer but at the very least something must change". So THINK NOT with the program that the PIGS have installed in you. You are Mankind and quite capable of writeing your own thoughts/spells/programms. And by all means get out of the road if you want to grow old... Bravo Sir Roger, the whole album makes my tears run down, my anger well up, and transmutes my Fear into Courage, and I Love it and all of you.

    ------ About the song Dogs performed by Pink Floyd

Waters is a genius. my english is not good enough to say, what everyone else knows anyway, who loves this music/lyrics. beeing a poet, musician, songwriter and a critic of society in this way is mindblowing. this man tells so much the truth. when i was 20, the lyrics weren't that important, it was the music. things change. btw, pink floyd let a big pic (it was a ballon) fly over england, when "animals" was released. officially it was by accident.

    ------ About the song Waiting for the worms performed by Pink Floyd

It's impossible for these "new age music" listeners to understand the deep meaning of true music and true lyrics... La Quisha, go home and listen to justin bieber, nick jonas and all those pseudo-musicians without talent, who are merely products created especially for you: a horny and shallow teenager who buys everything the system sells you.

    ------ About the song One slip performed by Pink Floyd

Hes getting married (in the song).

Its his thoughts about the event that is marriage. The "one slip" was saying agreeing to the marriage.

"I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test"
Someone just proposed and feels like a dog chasing a moving car that just stopped.

"Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?"
It happened without hardship, which made someone doubt if something this "big" was really meant to be this "easy".

"One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life to a life"

DOESNT REALLY NEED EXPLAINING

To summarize: The judgement slip was getting married.

    ------ About the song Vera performed by Pink Floyd

"basically thewre's all that bring tha boys back home -
what the hell r u thinking...
it is sooooooooo relevent
git r done - and git it right"

If you were a true Floyd fan and you actually listen to The Wall you would know that is a different track on the album called "Bring the Boys Back Home" it just sounds like the same song because the entire album is meant to be listened to front to back.

    ------ About the song Us and them performed by Pink Floyd

The song is about war and the reasons for it. The "hard to hear" spoken words in the background is something Rogers recorded. I once read a transcript and the guy was talking about how when someone is being really annoying and obnoxious and talking wont settle them down and sometimes you have to give them a.....pop? a smack? Either way it will be "short, sharp, shocked". He goes on to say that it, and I am paraphrasing here, "manners don't cost much" or something. Roger Waters stood outside the studio (Paul McCartney & Wings were recording there also) and he asked people a series of questions. One of them being "what is the most violent thing you have ever done"? Hence the reply "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time". I hope this helps..........BTW---Greatest Rock Album Ever!!!!!!! EVER!!
