muzica rock et co. | Rockul.Info

Fac ce fac si tot la Pink Floyd ajung. Piesa aceasta face parte de pe albumul “The final cut” (1983), disc pe care il simt ca pe o continuare logica a albumului “The wall”. Voi insera si versurile la aceasta micropiesa pentru ca ele sunt cele care conteaza cu adevarat. Cum in literatura nu putem trece mai departe fara a pomeni de Cehov, asa nici in muzica rock nu putem uita de contributia enorma a fomratiei din Liverpool.

Despre Southampton:

Este situat pe coasta de sud a Marii Britanii şi este unul dintre cele mai importante porturi ale Regatului Unit.

They disembarked in 45
And no one spoke
And no one smiled
There were too many spaces in the line
And gathered at the cenotaph
They all agreed with hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial knives
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock
Clings To her wet body in the rain
In quiet desperation
Knuckles white upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys goodbye again
Ooo, Maggie what have you done?

And still the dark stain spreads between
Their shoulder blades
A mute reminder
Of the poppy fields and graves
When the fight was over
We spent what they had made
But
In the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut
