The Tide Is Turning
"The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid)" is the closing track from Roger Waters' second studio album, ''Radio K.A.O.S.'' It was released as the album's third single, in November 1987. A live version of the song was released as the second single from Waters' debut live album, ''The Wall – Live in Berlin'' in November 1990. Background Though Waters had offered his services for the Live Aid concert in 1985 and been turned down by organizer Bob Geldof, the event still inspired Waters to write this song. After he had recorded the ''Radio K.A.O.S.'' album, which ended with a simulated nuclear attack in the song "Four Minutes," his record company informed him that the album was too bleak and needed a more upbeat ending. Waters then recorded and added "The Tide Is Turning" to give the album a more optimistic finish. Release It was released as a CD single that included a live version of the Pink Floyd song "Money", written by Waters for their highly successful 1973 album ''The Dark Side of ...

Outside The Wall (song)
"Outside the Wall" (working titles "Bleeding Hearts", "The Buskers") is a song written by Roger Waters. It appeared on the 1979 Pink Floyd album, ''The Wall''. Overview This song is meant as a dénouement to the album. The story ends with "The Trial", in which a "judge" decrees, ''"Tear down the wall!''". An explosion is heard to signify the wall's destruction, and "Outside the Wall" quietly begins. It is not explicitly stated what happens to Pink, the protagonist, after the dismantling of his psychological "wall". At the end, the song cuts off abruptly, as the man says "Isn't this where...", leading into the voice clip at the beginning of "In the Flesh?" that states "...we came in?", giving a sort of circularity to the album. Composition The song is the quietest on the album. It is a diatonic song in C Major, in 3/4 and is 1:41 in length. In the original demo version of this song, a harmonica was used in place of the clarinet heard on the album version. Plot Unlike the other s ...

The Wall
''The Wall'' is the eleventh studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on 30 November 1979 by Harvest/EMI and Columbia/CBS Records. It is a rock opera that explores Pink, a jaded rock star whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society forms a figurative wall. The album was a commercial success, topping the US charts for 15 weeks and reaching number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the greatest albums of all time and one of the band's finest works. Bassist Roger Waters conceived ''The Wall'' during Pink Floyd's 1977 In the Flesh tour, modelling the character of Pink after himself and former bandmate Syd Barrett. Recording spanned from December 1978 to November 1979. Producer Bob Ezrin helped to refine the concept and bridge tensions during recording, as the band members were struggling with personal and financial issues ...
