R.E.M. are from Atlanta. "Losing my Religion" is a common phrase in the South for cursing or losing your cool. It means the same as "Flying off the Handle" means in the North. |

| Pink Floyd – Vera Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
There are many descriptions of this song that are close.
Remember that The Wall is very autobiographical to Waters. The entire album (aside from Comfortably Numb) is about his life. The song Vera makes references to a popular WWII song by artist Vera Lynn called "We'll Meet Again". Its an excellent song. In the song she tells the boys going off to war that we'll see them again.
Sadly Water's father (and mine) never did return from the war, leaving Lynn's promise unfulfilled. So Waters is asking if anyone remembers Lynn's promise. The song is written from young Water's perspective so you can imagine a young boy asking when his father will come home in light of Lynn's promise. It's a very sad song and one that I, unfortunately, can relate to.
(BTW: Water's father was killed in battle in Italy). |

Its a sad some about a young mother who deals with the death of her young son by using drugs. She keeps his hair with her and he's one of the little angels whom she speaks with. |
