| Pink Floyd – The Gunner's Dream Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I don't quite agree with Star Captian on this one... The Gunner is his Dad who had died in WW2. Most of this album deals with this. His dad died fighting a war agianst facism. But then in 1980's under Margaret Thatcher, Britian took a turn twards facism. So the question came, "What did my dad die for" which Waters asked in the first song of the album. This song states the "dream" his dad died for. "where you can speak out loud...And no-one kills the children anymore". A free society without war. The last words of the song really ring out. "take heed of the dream". That is "we" shouldn't forget what millions people died for or earse their work. |
