Waters is an avowed atheist.
The Wall is semi-autobiographical.
Both waters and the protagonist in The Wall lose their father in WWII. Waters is literally the baby crying in tract 2 side 1.
Waters blames “the Jews” for the loss of his father. He’s very much clear on that.
As he has no spiritual foundation, hate has further fed this idea and insanity.
It’s a terrible shame because he was a truly gifted artist.
It is sad, from what I understand his position on things like his daddy issues and antisemitism and ego has song writer led to breakup of Floyd. Always appreciated the song writing but the music is what always grabbed me and Gilmore more than proved himself as songwriter in his own right
One lyric always struck me “ if your taking your girlfriend out tonight you better park your car well out of sight cause if the catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks their gonna send you home to mama in a cardboard box, you better run”
I was watching YouTube and a thing called reaction videos popped up and it was on comfortably numb, the reaction was pretty cool nice to see older people have such an emotional response to the song esp gilmores solos. First comment I read was from a guy telling his girlfriend as they are listening to the song paraphrasing. This is the second best guitar solo she asks what’s the best he says wait a minute
Watching people being blown away by a five minute guitar solo was cool another person said most plug their guitars into an amp Gilmore plugs his into his soul
Frankly I have never missed rogers and he seems like a very sad and empty man.
