Pink Floyd's Final Cut - It says so much

I have just been listening to Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut", which was the last album with Roger Waters. It's a very deep album which needs careful listening to in order to understand it.

As I have already written here, I have been suffering emotionally lately. This album deals substantially with the issue of mental illness and depression, in addition to the total futility of war. The songs also have deep meaning to me in other ways, for example the part of "The Gunner's Dream" where it is mentioned about a funeral and the corner of a field, it reminds me of the interment of the person who helped me find myself more than anyone else did, and comforting her 8 year old son as we left the cemetery.

This album can still move me to tears. 

I can understand fully about the part where it says in "The Final Cut" about holding the blade in trembling hands but never having the nerve to make the final cut - that is exactly how I have felt several times lately, only with pills not a blade.

So, here's your chance to hear this album for yourselves - but please listen to it and not just hear it. Then take some time to think about it.
