It features a soundtrack written and performed by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released as an album the same year.

The Final Cut (album)
''The Final Cut'' is the twelfth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 21 March 1983 through Harvest and Columbia Records. It comprises unused material from the band's previous studio album, '' The Wall'' (1979), alongside new material recorded throughout 1982. ''The Final Cut'' is the last Pink Floyd album to feature founding member Roger Waters, who went on to leave the band in 1985. It is the only Pink Floyd album without founding member and keyboardist Richard Wright, who had left the band under pressure from Waters after the ''Wall'' sessions. The recording was plagued by conflict; guitarist David Gilmour felt many of the tracks were not worthy of inclusion, but Waters accused him of failing to contribute material himself. The contributions from drummer Nick Mason were limited mostly to sound effects. Waters planned the album as a soundtrack for the 1982 film adaptation of ''The Wall''. With the onset of the Falklands War, he rewrote it as a con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Your Possible Pasts
"Your Possible Pasts" (mislabeled as "Your Impossible Pasts" on a radio promo single) is a song from Pink Floyd's 1983 album '' The Final Cut''. This song was one of several to be considered for the band's "best of" album, '' Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd''. Background The song, like many others on ''The Final Cut'', is a rewritten version of a song rejected for '' The Wall'', originally to be used in ''Spare Bricks'' (an early version of ''The Final Cut'' that was an extension of ''The Wall''.) Guitarist David Gilmour objected to the use of these previously rejected tracks, as he believed that they weren't good enough for release: Despite not appearing on ''The Wall'' album, the lyrics of the chorus did appear in the film for said album, ''Pink Floyd – The Wall'', where the lyrics were read by the main character, Pink, in-between the songs " Waiting for the Worms" and " Stop". "Your Possible Pasts" also appeared on a 12-inch promotional single entitled ''Selections from The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vagabond Ways
''Vagabond Ways'' is the 14th studio album by British singer Marianne Faithfull. This is her first album of original material since ''A Secret Life'' (1994). This work, produced by Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard, is a balladry-like extension of her then neo-cabaret persona, interpreting songs by herself and legendary songwriters of her generation, like Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, Leonard Cohen and the songwriting duo Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Many of the stories told on this album were adapted from memories that didn't make her autobiography or her observations of social struggles by which she felt particularly moved. "Incarceration of a Flower Child" was written by Roger Waters in 1968, and has never been recorded in any format by Pink Floyd. The lyrics seem to be about the downfall of former Floyd member Syd Barrett, but Waters has never confirmed this. A Deluxe Edition was released in 2022 by BMG Rights Management.

Idiosyncratic
An idiosyncrasy is a unique feature of something. The term is often used to express peculiarity. Etymology The term "idiosyncrasy" originates from Greek ', "a peculiar temperament, habit of body" (from ', "one's own", ', "with" and ', "blend of the four humors" ( temperament) or literally "particular mingling". Idiosyncrasy is sometimes used as a synonym for eccentricity, as these terms "are not always clearly distinguished when they denote an act, a practice, or a characteristic that impresses the observer as strange or singular."''Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Synonyms'' (1984), p. 277. Eccentricity, however, "emphasizes the idea of divergence from the usual or customary; idiosyncrasy implies a following of one's particular temperament or bent especially in trait, trick, or habit; the former often suggests mental aberration, the latter, strong individuality and independence of action". Linguistics The term can also be applied to symbols or words. ''Idiosyncratic symbols' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
