Pink Floyd - When The Tigers Broke Free

anyone else seeing donald trump wall ads?😁

the wall is the soundtrack of my life

It was long after noonOne December day at Battersea StationWhen the pig took to the skiesSharpshooters watched it take flightThey were hired for one dayBut the shoot ran over, and they both went awayAnd the next day we grinned, till the windBlew the goddamn piggy awayThere were cries all around, but no rope to be foundWhen the piggy broke freeAnd to our surprise, he traversed the skies, and by pilots was seenWell he landed in Kent, angered a farmer, and scared all his cattle(!)And that's how the angry windsTook my Algie...from me!

You can hear how angry Waters is in this song.

Daddy ded

Died for Italy's and Europe's freedom. Against nazifascists. Forever. Thank you Eric...

Who knows what song young Pink was whistling when he walked into his house and made some toast with jam?

I love this song...gives me gooseflesh ;)

And that's how the high command! Took my daddy ....from me!🇬🇧

When I first heard this it was very hard to get,wasn't on any of their albums,eventually got it on single,love the extraneous noises with floyds stuff, Jo curry dublin

My mother told me not to watch this movie. My father sat down and held me as we watch it together. I love them both

they were all left behind…. most of the dead… THE REST OF THEM DYING !!!!    ITS SO SAD...….

What movie is this?

The Brilliance of Roger Waters.

My Dad was an Operation Shingle survivor. He just turned 94. Many of his friends stayed behind.

Beautifully put. Ive never it put that way before.

Damn...

“He signed it with his own rubber stamp” meaning he knew he would be signing a bunch of letters and deep down he didn’t care, but he knew he had to make himself look good.

My mother's father served in the 57th bomb wing stationed in Africa during WW2. Although he was in the Air force. He did seecombat. He was wounded. But, survived and came home after the war. He became ill and died years later from complications from his war injuries.RIP Joseph Terrell Nichols." keep em' flying"I would have loved to have met you, Grandfather. I'm very proud of you.

... for a while

4:15 What does it say on the scroll?

War orphans were a real problem up until like a generation ago, God willing it will not be a major problem again. . .

So many were lost in that war. It saddens me to see how far governments and people will go. Maybe someday we can all live in peace. Roger lost his father before he even knew him and that makes it even harder. I understand his anger but he is angry at England and not the monsters that killed so many. I still understand it though. I lost my father when I was 6 and it is rough.

D a d d y D i e d

I wonder how many people around the world today, and throughout history, also have similar stories.The story of losing a parent in a war, and how the events that take place on a faraway battlefield can effect the children, the partners, the parents, siblings and the many other family members and friends of lost soldiers, for a lifetime after the fighting has ended.There must be massive numbers of people who are now adults or maybe very elderly, who have had to live with the consequences of wars, that took place many decades ago. The children of the troops who died in the Second World War and Korea and Vietnam are now middle aged and senior citizens, but their lives were changed forever the minute that their family member died, and those losses still reverberate today.The old saying goes something like 'there are no winners in war..' and this song really hits home how true that actually is.

Possibly the most omnipotent and puissant song of the 20th century.

It's sad that Roger Waters lost his father during the Second World War. God bless all the brave men and women who served. Rest those who perished and thank those who survived.

Esse vídeo de Pink Floyd é pra viajar 💋❤💕🎧🎸🎶

Really sad to watch this vid while an ad's comin up for computer war games

All you war munger's out there, Trump, Putin etc: should take note of this & think on.

3:24 One of the saddest moments

My favorite scene in the whole movie, and it gave me chills listening to it while on a train crossing the countryside up to Scotland.

"My eyes still grow damp to find his majesty signed with his own rubber stamp." A brilliant way to describe how elitists can care so little for someone's life. So little that they won't even take the couple seconds it takes to actually sign their name on a death notification.

roger waters is a legend love this song

This is indeed the most unique band in rock history.

Он рос поцаном, а его отец погиб на войне и все... А Русские пацаны воевали с оружием в руках с 5 пяти лет

Powerful

My version of when the tigers broke free When Germany Broke WarBy my band River It was a cold winter morning In old thirty nineWhen all the sirens blewWhich meant the Germans has started a war.The bombs dropped all around the statesWith the screams of panic went around the cityBrought darkness through the whole townWhich scared us people to death.With German planes over the ranchesIt killed us all to see them again With a few planes zooming like jets through the skies Which our teachers sharpened us with lies.The war wouldn’t stopIt was just like the purgeThat wasn’t until I noticed a sign That read it’s World War II And Germany was getting revenge For something we haven’t done.With the air raidsAnd the children all bloodyWe couldn’t do anything at allTo stop this madnessSo we had to hide in a abandoned mall.How we prayed, how we gaveTo someone to help us dig a graveCause I knew we were gonna die.We prayed through the night and dayThat we will rather be buried in hayOr that a solider would let us be saved.Written by my friend Austin.

This Movie deserved an Academy Award, for Design, Editing, Production, Cinematography, and Direction as well as the obvious music

The Academy didn't deserve Pink Floyd!

Besides the amazing music and one heck of a screenplay and cinematography, I fiund interesting, was that Bob Geldof didn't like Punk Floyd (or so he said in one of his books (Is That It) which by way is one of the best written book I have ever read). Anyway this song and Mother and Bring the Boys Hime and Comfortably Numb and... shite, all if them are my favorite.

Onore a i caduti onore al mio papa che ha combattuto in Anzio

"And the Anzio bridgehead was held for the price of a few hundred ordinary lives". So poignant and poetic. Roger at his best.

Watching this on 11/11

When I watched the movie, I never wanted to leave the home. It really had a deeper impact on me. Perhaps because I new Pink Floyd since the beginning, really don’t know how a new person would feel having no back ground of Pink Floyd/ Roger Waters and the Wall itself

I?M STILL HERE*

CAUSE AND EFFECT

CAUSE AND EFFECT

I get goosebumps every time I listen to this, even after 30 years. Amazing!

Same as today, just different place, equipment, and enemies. :(

Young men dying for absolutely nothing.

Sadly, my dad was a piece of shit. My sons will not have that problem.I am grateful for having returned.

still gives me chills as it did the day the movie came out. the wall is my favourite movie of all time, favourite album in close competition with dark side of the moon. if this isnt musical genius then i dont know what is.

Fantásticos.😇

Linda.musica.adoro.

very low volume cant hear anything

My dad and my uncles were all in the war, fighting in different theaters. They all came home, but none of them was ever quite sane anymore. They wouldn't regale us with war stories, they didn't even discuss it among themselves, far as I know. I remember one of my uncles used to say, "War is hell." My dad kept his helmet with the bullet hole thru it, the bullet only grazed his head. He also held onto a handful of buttons and pins that he took off the uniform of the German sniper he killed. By the time I came along, that stuff was all in a box in the attic. My grandfather fought in WW1, my dad in WW2, my cousin in Vietnam, and my war would've been Desert Storm, except a bike accident left me 4f, so no war stories for me to talk about either. I saw The Wall when it first came out, and yes, it's definitely more intense when you see it tripping.

CrazyBear65 I have a relative who was at St Nazaire. When my dad was a kid and asked about it, his reply was always “Nowt to do wi thee”. He drank a lot of rum to forget about it, became an alcoholic...

Imagine the ways this movie could be implemented into our secondary school system to spark a teenagers mind.So intellectual,emotional and genuine.

The text of the scroll:G VI RThis scroll commemorates2nd Lt. J.A. PINKERTON, Royal FusiliersHeld in honour as one whoserved King and Countryin the World War of 1939-1945and gave his lifeto save Mankind from TyrannyMay his sacrifice bring Peace and Freedomfor which he died.

RIP Eric Fletcher Waters, fusilier serving with Company C, 8th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) of 167th (London) Infantry Brigade, 56th (London) Infantry Division. He was father of Pink Floyd's bassist and songwriter Roger Waters, was killed during Operation Shingle at Anzio.

@Tshanot Awful comment.

@David Clarke I know, but it´s still true.

The Bankers use the Media to brainwash us into believing we have enemies. Which we really don't... except for the Bankers.

It's time to ….. fuk the bankers

beings tears. true art.

No one survived from the royal fussalirs company c. They were all left behind most of them dead the rest of them dying. So Manny questions about that line.

Personal favorite.

will i ever break free??????????

I am surprised this hasnt been yanked down because of copy right laws. My video of Pompeii was.

From what I understand, this was cut from The Wall because it was too autobiographical for Waters.

shame on any dislikers

five shot webley .45

my up bringing was mirrored with this song...I had no Dad....watching this movie part...only this part...make me cry...I am 48....I have cried since I saw this...

These have got to be among the most heart wrenching lyrics ever written,the passion and sadly the truth he spits out at the very "people" these lyrics are about give me goose bumps.Pure genius pure anguish.

One of the best scenes from this movie

Such a relief for kids without father.

This song is so amazing. I can feel the pain of the war just with hear it

I wonder if William and harry have heard this or if they are too high and mighty to reply with their own rubber stamp.....god save the queen

Well done!!!

Roger is PF and those shitty albums that produce Dave are a shame.

i cant listen 2 this and not cry

neither can i

it's funny this song is in The Final Cut but this movie include it's soundtrack was released one year before that album's release.

Some songs in The Final Cut album are those who was not included in The Wall.

it wasnt on The Final Cut until comparatively recently... it wasnt on the original album

It was originally written for the album "The Wall" but Roger felt it was too personal for that album and held it back, it was later added to the film to help tell the story of young Pink.

"Look Mommy, there's an airplane up in the sky..." did did did you see the frightened ones... did did did you hear the falling bombs... did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter, when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky...

MASTERWORK. EPIC, LEGENDARY SONG WRITING.

and the Anzio bridgehead was held for the price, of a few hundred, ordinary lives... they were all left behind, most of them dead, the rest of them dying... and no one survived, from the Royal Fusiliers, Company Z!😖 and that's how the high command, took my Daddy, From Me!😖

makes me cry

And kind old King George sent Mother a note when he heard that Father was gone. It was I recall... in the form of a scroll, with gold leaf and all. And I found it one day in a drawer of old photographs hidden away. And my eyes still grow damp to remember that his Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp.

@Buster Dylan What ? Command sent Mom a "beautiful" letter - ADORNED with gold leaf to let her know of the death of her husband. The lyric - google it - is "sent mother a note with gold leaf adorned." Your lyric "gold leaf adorned not all all" is more syllables than is hear in the song.

@Oracles Of The Awakening True. But check this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW-h4FhF3Ao."Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behindIn some faithful heart is your memory enshrinedAlthough you died back in 1916In that faithful heart are you forever 19Or are you a stranger without even a nameEnclosed then forever behind a glass frameIn an old photograph torn, battered and stainedAnd faded to yellow in a brown leather frame."

@Captain Howdy German Panzer tanks

@Buster Dylan the lyric notes that come with 'echoes the best of pink floyd' show the lyric as "with gold leaf and all" I bought the single when it came out and have always thought it was 'and all' - just saying.

I thougjt ir was gold leaf adorned but i could be wrong

This song is also on the later releases of 'The Final Cut. Requiem for a Post-War Dream'. If you haven't heard that CD and you like this song, then take the time to give it a listen. I truly believe that Roger Waters saved his best writing for it. To me, it's the greatest job of lyric writing in all of rock music, maybe of any music. The CD is dedicated to Eric Fletcher Waters, Rogers father. It's a very powerful statement of musical genius.

Tigers is cool and I can't believe the Band didn't do more to publicize it. Really is kind of a lost treasure.The rest of Final Cut is a gawd awful display of Waters preening on and on with his agenda based polarizing politicizing message with absolutely NO redeeming artistic qualities whatsoever. Waters writing is generally CRAP, but when tempered with the rest of the minds in PF, it worked (as the Wall demonstrates). When Waters took over things with TFC, the shit results was exactly what one would expect. That album is virtually un-listenable and Waters did Tigers no favors putting it on TFC instead of The Wall album.Thank GOD! that Gilmour and the rest of the boys took back Pink Floyd and put the band back on course with Momentary. Waters had it on a course imitating a runaway freight train disaster before they did.

Musial Rocks - I agree. not now john is great though. the fletcher memorial home is good. Most of it is such a bunch of lyrics and NO music.

Yes the song was added later, however I didn’t liked the placement of the in between sonically intertwined 3-One of the Few & 4-The Hero’s Return. The positioning would be after song 2 Your possible pasts which ends with ticking clocks

This album/ movie/ story should not only be heard/ watched/ re-told, but UNDERSTOOD!Pink Floyd The Wall is a work of ART.

The Wall is a MASTERWORK, an EPIC MASTERPIECE, SEMINAL MUSIC... brought me closer to my Pa, who had survived combat in the China Burma India Theater of Operations, in northern Burma during WWII... but at age 16 in 1980, I'm at war with him, he was an authority figure. who was getting in between me, and my dope... god how we fought... then, this album comes out in the prime of my rebellion with Pa, and I begin to really listen to the lyrics... and then, the Movie... THE *MOVIE* follows... and I'm beginning to understand the life experience this incredible Man had survived, far surpassed any drug induced faux-drama I was caught up in then... THANK YOU ROGER WATERS, FOR HELPING ME TO APPRECIATE MY FATHER, AND BEGIN TO MEND THINGS WITH HIM, AND BY THE TIME HE PASSES IN 2002, HE HAS BECOME THE KINDEST, MOST GENEROUS PA A KID COULD'VE HAD... WE WERE SO CLOSE WHEN I WAS A SNOT NOSED KID, THEN CAME DRUGS, AND A COUPLE GIRLS SHUTTING ME DOWN IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND MY MISERY MADE IT EASY TO SNAP AT MY FOLKS... PRETTY MUCH ME AND DAD, MOM STEERED CLEAR OF US BULLS... IT GOT UGLY FAST... AND IT WASNT TILL THE WALL, AND MY MID 20'S, BEFORE HE AND I SAW A WAY... BUT HE BECAME MY CONFIDANTE, HELL, MY PAL... I TREASURE THE YEARS WE HAD AS ADULTS, HAVING A BEER, LEARNING FROM THIS KIND, GOOD, BRAVE, DECENT MAN... WHO WAS I TO CURSE A MAN WHO'D RECEIVED A PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION, BRONZE STAR, AND PURPLE HEART, IN 14 MONTHS OF JUNGLE COMBAT, WITH THE JAPANESE, AS A MEMBER OF MERRILL'S MARAUDERS, IN THE CHINA, BURMA INDIA THEATER OF OPERATIONS... HE SURVIVES HORRORS I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO BEGIN TO COMPREHEND... THE WALL DOESN'T GET ALL THE CREDIT FOR RIGHTING ALL THE WRONG I HAD DONE TO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAD, BUT IT SURE GOT MY DUMB ASS THINKING, GOT ME TO PUT DOWN THE BONG, AND WORK ON MY FEELINGS... AND UNDERSTAND HOW COMBAT COULD'VE TAKEN HIM AND I'D NEVER BEEN BORN... SO INDEED, THANK YOU, ROGER WATERS, THANK YOU DAVID GILMOUR, THANK YOU PINK FLOYD... FOR ALL OF YOUR INCREDIBLE ART, ESPECIALLY THE WALL... IVE SEEN THE MOVIE, PROBABLY NEAR TO A THOUSAND TIMES... I SEE OR HEAR SOMETHING NEW EACH TIME... WOW. PINK FLOYD. I REALLY DON'T HAVE WORDS... WHEN YOU FEEL EVERY WORD, OF EVERY SONG, WAS WRITTEN FOR, AND ABOUT YOU... TO LEGENDARY FOR ME TO VERBALIZE... ITS IN YOUR BONES, YOUR BLOOD, YOUR HEART, YOUR SOUL... THE FLOYD... THANK YOU GUYS... THANK YOU. I HOPE THEY ALL GET EVERY HAPPINESS LIFE CAN BRING... I AM NOW OLD, ALONE, UNLOVED, BROKEN, SAD, SCARED, UNNEEDED, UNWANTED, NOONE TO NOBODY... THE DAY, SOON I PUNCH MY OWN TICKET, AND LEAVE THIS CRUEL SPINNING ROCK, FLOYD WILL BE PLAYING ON, AT IS HAS FOR EVERY OTHER PART OF MY LIFE GOOD AND BAD... IVE KNOWN LOVE, HER HAIR, SKIN, CURVES, LIPS, EYES, BUT SHE FOUND ANOTHER, AND FLOYD SALVES THE WOUND, BUT THE MISERY OF LOSING MY LATINA ANGEL, MY TINA MARIE, TO ANOTHER, CAN NEVER BE FIXED... GOD THE WALL FITS SO MUCH OF MY LIFE... ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU, TO 4 TRUE COMMANDERS, OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE... THE FLOYD...

God fuckin damn, man. That is powerful as hell. Jesus. I need like a whole pallet of Kleenex after that.

me toooo

yes very unfortunate but remember,for every bullet fired someone made a profit

nevermind i cried too

This song gets me every time I hear it

why have they never made a film like this, like a musical ww1 or ww2 film, I think that would be amazing

They did, you just watched a part of it!

yeah revealing all the lies about WW1...and the hypocrisies of WW2

Apemanwithcalculator hey we found the liberal with the high school level history education!

Lol yeah, it's called "The Wall." Great film. Those are NOT tears in my eyes. I uhhhhhh....have allergies.....yeah, allergies......that's it.

And see Oh! What a Lovely War

Will this song ever become irrelevant?

no because after all is said and done we are just regular people

Same answer for "will Pink Floyd ever become irrelevant" and the answer is no

shit almost had me in tears

Too bad we can't force the presidents and dictators of our countries go into battle themselves.. meet 1 on1 and see who wins... without the sacrifice of our young men and women while they sit in their cushy palaces and watch in safety.

oh i will turn the volume up. as loud as possible :) thanks for sharing

10 people suck. a beautiful song, so emotional.

This isnt anti-war! He is proud of his brave father, any man that gives his life for the greater good is a hero. Sometimes war is necessary.

"And that's how the high command took my daddy from me". This could be anti-authority, anti-war, or both.

Roger is pretty outspoken in his anti-war sentiment. That the album this finally appeared on was subtitled,"A Requiem for the Post-War Dream" might make that clear.

without war people would not die in warjust for sayin

No war is necessary.It's all about money.

And where do the wars come from

The best anti-war song ever.

lets check that comment and switch it to the necessity for brave men to stand up to tyranny. that doesnt mean pro war, but in your binary world I imagine it does.

@John Galt Keep up the good fight. I imagine that ribbon on the back of your car is playing a major role in the battle against tyranny.

Fletcher Memorial Home

Michel Berrier us and them though

Actually, With God on Our Side is.But you can't compare mortals to Zimmermans.

Does anyone know why this song is only in the soundtrack and not in the album of the wall

+David Wright I don't know why, but it's in the new version of The Final Cut album...

David Wright , I heard the rest of the band thought it was to personal of a song

Thanks for letting me know. I have been a huge fan of them and Roger Waters but never knew why they did this. But it makes sense for them to just leave it out.

got it on a single

interesting, you mixed the two elements as if they were originalliy produced whis way. I saw "The Wall" years ago so I started wondering if the actor from the movie also acted in a clip for "when the Tigers broke free" :). Obviously not.

Hauntingly beautiful, I have no ideal why it wasn't included on "the wall" lp.

+Matthew Paluch I think the other members of Floyd thought it was too personal to Roger Waters real life... if I remember correctly... but the director promised Roger he'd include it in the film. Good choice.

+Matthew Paluch and empty spaces top chooon.

Luckily it was on the very underrated Final Cut album

only Pink Floyd could make me put aside my hatred for Bob Geldof and connect to this wonderful film every time.

Strangely enough Sir Geldof never appreciated Pink Floyd's music

10 people are assholes

Make that 11 assholes now, Chris  (not me, though!)
