In his latest studio clip for his “Encores” series, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters enlisted frequent collaborators Lucius and the rest of his live band for versions of The Wall‘s “Vera” and “Bring The Boys Back Home.”
“This is the third of our Encores from the Us and Them tour,” Waters writer. “This is the first one with any overdubs, not an easy trick to pull off remotely, luckily the Band are all brilliant.”
Describing “Vera,” Waters adds, “The Vera in question is Vera Lynn. 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.”
As for “Bring The Boys Back Home,” he explains, “My father never came home, but at least in 1944 he really was fighting to defend his home. 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.”
