Watch Roger Waters sing two songs from Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' album: 'Vera' and 'Bring the Boys Back Home.' He also takes a jab at Trump
: “Vera” and “Bring the Boys Back Home,” which both come before “Comfortably Numb” on the double-album.
The renditions are quieter than the Pink Floyd originals, with Waters singing almost mournfully about Vera Lynn, the. But they soon transition into a passionate rendition of “Bring the Boys Back Home,” featuring the women from Lucius on backup vocals.
He also broke down each of the songs. “The ‘Vera’ in question is Vera Lynn,” he said. “She was an English singer, songwriter, very popular during the Second World War. Her biggest hit was ‘We’ll Meet Again.’ She was widely known as the ‘Forces’ Sweetheart.’ Our Vera, who is very fondly remembered back in Blighty, died six weeks ago aged 103. So she had a bloody good innings, bless her.”
“Bring the Boys Back Home,” it seems, has a more personal meaning to the artist. “My father never came home, but at least in 1944 he really was fighting to defend his home,” Waters said. “Not like now. Now the boys fight and die in colonial wars so some rich asshole can get richer. If it were up to me, I’d bring ’em all home tomorrow.”
