Music video by Roger Waters performing The Tide Is Turning (After Live Aid). (C) 1987 Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment vevo.ly/GGYE5y
No matter how dark, melancholy, or angry Roger Waters/Pink Floyd’s concept albums are - his/their concept albums are always left with a glimmer of hope in the last track. But this song takes the cake. I hope this song will describe the world in the coming years.
Was there any hope in "Amused to Death"? I think you're generally right, but I never felt like there was anything positive to take away from that song! (which is a masterpiece)
Yeah your right. Love the way Rogers albums are written as story's and broken down into songs i love that he's an amazingly talented poet as well as clever. product of his times I'd say.
A little 12 years old fat and humble kid I was back in school, caught in the hands of sick children who enjoyed torturing me everyday, physically and sexually. I felt so frightened and alone, yet I used to sing to myself... "don't worry, the tide is turning". Your music's the reason I came out of that hell alive and still smiling. Thank you, Roger.
“Roldi RB”: We’ve lived parallel lives, my friend...my childhood was hell, too. I carry the scars with me, both internal and external, to this day - thankfully, the weight isn’t so heavy anymore. When I needed to escape, music was my vehicle, and Roger was often behind the wheel. Much love and peace to you from across the miles. Stay strong, as well as safe. ✌🏼🙂
Roger Waters is a Lyrical Genius plus. His overall life principalities, out weigh the common. He had his demons and overcame them, it doesn't matter when. What matters is he did so above and beyond. Take Care and be Well.🇬🇧🇺🇸🎼🌏✌
@José Costa That's one way of looking at it. The other way is that man has done many wonderful, benevolent, environmental, charitable, and self-sacrificing things for the betterment of humanity and the environment.
Roger waters music knows no boundaries ..... A very talented musician who was definitely born to make music . A well educated, intelligent and down to earth man too . Thanks mate. 🎶🎼🎶🎼👍🏴🍻
I've loved this song for nearly THIRTY YEARS! It amazes me that this album is as old as it is. My best friend, Matt, and I both loved this album and listened to it often, especially during college from 1989-1993. He died in 2011, and this music brings such memories of him and our friendship.
@peacefuljeffrey...I can relate with you and your feelings of loss. Know this, your friend is beside you and you feel it the strongest, while listening to this song plus many others the two of you shared together. Music traps in time and space within your mind. I don't want to get to detailed. Godspeed to you my friend. Do your best to live each day to it's fullest. It is more than just a great song, and you know this too be true, that's really what makes it all count. Take Care and be Well.🇬🇧🇺🇸🎼🌏✌
ı have a similar story with my high school friend..he made me a fan of Pink Floyd and also a fan of david gilmour and roger waters..we used to listen to this album over and over back in 1987...also pink floyd' s a momentary lapse of reason...he passed away in 2013 and ı still miss my friend...
I can only imagine how good everything must have felt around the time this was recorded. Depending on when you listened, the Berlin wall had fallen, or Perestroika was at its height, or the Soviet Union had fallen. There must have been a feeling of euphoria and optimism going into the 90's unlike any other period in history. It was the peace to end all peace. Now, looking back on it, it's actually kinda sad, because that period abruptly came to an end. One September morning ruined it for everyone, and now we can look back on this so as to say "Wasn't that 90's optimism a joke." No surprise the 90's was considered the last good decade, considering what followed.
Not quite, but the feeling was positive, then the Wall was down and that felt like the tide really was turning...fast forward February 2022 and here we go again. One megalomaniac can turn back the clock.
90s was the beginning of disillusionment. Cobain with his "I hate myself and want to die", Reznor with his "God is Dead", Manson with his "Rock is dead" and Tool with their "Stinkfist" and other degeneracy. The cheerfulness of the 80s was well and truly gone, setting the stage for the pure insanity of the new millennium.
Unfortunately, although there's a lot of nonsense violence precedents and still humanity continues trying to destroy itself, so is it that WW3 is about to start anytime...
Either the world will be turned to electronic concentration camp ruled by banksters or the whole system will shake to give a chance for a better future, the question is how far will the money bags go to prevent the transformation to a new Renaissance era with a completely new synthetic approach to all life areas
@YYZ 001 He's definitely not a miserable human being and apparently you don't know what actually happened to Pink Floyd. I know what I'm talking about.
This song literally changed my life. I first heard it played at the end of The Wall concert from Berlin, it was aired in my country on the 10th anniversary of tearing down the Berlin Wall. I knew the album version only, and was stunned at this surprising change. And the song was just beautiful. That's how 15 year old me found out that Roger Waters had a solo career. I started to hunt down his records, first I got "Amused to Death", then "Pros and Cons" and both were very impactful on me. But "Radio K.A.O.S."... oh man. This one I hunted down last, and it just blew me away. The music, so... un-Waters'y, the lyrics, so... SO WATERS'y...! And the whole concept of the album, the story... It was just amazing. It got me into learning more about mr Waters. I hunted down "The Final Cut", that Pink Floyd album that no-one was seemingly fond of, and it was too, just beautiful. Re-discovered "Amused to Death" after this, and found it to be one of the deepest, misanthropic record I ever encountered. I have nothing but respect for Roger Waters. And it all started with this song. I know many people hate this album, but for me - it will always be a favorite of mine. Bless You Tube that people uploaded that four-part video accompanying the album, it was impossible for me to see it anywhere back in the early 2000s, now it's just a few clicks away... I really dread the day Roger will leave us. I know I will play this when his time comes... I'm kinda bummed out that I will never meet him and won't have a chance to thank him for all the beautiful music he created.
@@omashaushalt genauso ich, 57. Hatte nie die Chance, PF live zu sehen. Wäre überglücklich, wenn ROGER und DAVE zumindest noch 1 Mal etwas zusammen komponiert hätten. I enjoy their music, their works of art, the masterpieces
It was the only PF album available at my remote record store in 1985 so i snapped it up. So glad i did. Title track especially and southhampton dock will always will be special to me-so vulnerable. Generations grew up without a father-either physically or emotionally, and Roger spoke for all of us that felt the lack.
I understand that in 1987 this song was saying the tide was turning, that things were getting better, but to me as time went on the world seemed to descend further into madness.
It's time for the tide to turn, This goes to both the East and West,because there shouldn't be a east of west or even a north and south there should be humans and love for everyone in the world
Fabulous piece of music !!! The lyrics and the voice of Rog are amazing !!! Who is the strongest Who is the best Who holds the aces The East Or the West........... It is our world today in 2020 !!! This the crap our children are living !!!!
This song is undoubtedly one of the his best works including Pink Floyd. It is so shame that many fans of Pink Floyd ignored it. The Tide Is Turning has a great sound and lyrics. Moreover, Roger Waters wrote this song after watching Live Aid. So, it is hopeful. When EMI forced him to put an optimistic song as a closing track, he arranged it to put into RADIO KAOS album.
Agreed, this is a beautiful tune. If any one song could replace "Outside the Wall", this is it, as Roger and his guests did it in Berlin 1990. I don't think EMI, or anybody else, has "forced" Roger Waters to do anything since before _Dark Side of the Moon._ The way I read it, his trusted engineer Nick Griffiths strongly suggested the album needed an uplifting ending, and Roger eventually agreed that was for the best.
When this tune was being listened on the radio at late 1987, it was really in battle with all the brand new AMLOR album. Personally.... it's so easy to compare all this song with the first verses of One Slip...
EMI didn't force Roger to do anything.....the whole album was another RW concept and grabbed current social events to highlight the fact that maybe possibly some sense might come to this planet....currently...sadly not...
I can't stop listening to this masterpiece The genius had never been away of all catastrophes that happen in life nowadays. The world as a whole has turned into this crazy insane freak-show of today. but this song gives me some hope that there even is a God who in the end will give enough people the inspiration and power to turn this evil path around.
“I used to think the world was flat Rarely threw my hat into the crowd I felt I had used up my quota of yearning Used to look in on the children at night In the glow of their Donald Duck light And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning The tide is turning Satellite buzzing through the endless night Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning Who is the strongest Who is the best Who holds the aces The East Or the West This is the crap our children are learning But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning The tide is turning Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning Now the satellite's confused 'Cause on Saturday night The airwaves were full of compassion and light And his silicon heart Warmed to the sight of a billion candles burning Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning The tide is turning Billy I'm not saying that the battle is won But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning The tide is turning Sylvester Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning”
Has to be my favorite song by Roger. Truly, a great musician. If I ever get the chance to see him live, and be able to request any song, it would be this one, hands down.
A massive connection with this album, the Welsh choir and the mention of Llanelli was a revelation when we heard it stoned driving through the beautiful Welsh valleys as mischievous kids back in the early 90s,,it made you proud to be Welsh, GWLAD!!! ✌️
For some odd reason, whenever this chorus relays in my head I know somethings gunna change for me whether good or bad. It rarely occurs. Last time I heard it was when my youngest was born after that I struggled in all areas in my life, 12 years later I hear it today hence why I’m here watching this video and I know its to do with my unexpected new career and that’s to support and heal people in the health care industry 😍 This is my calling, I had to see darkness in order to be where I am today. Thanks Roger and universe ahaha 😊🙏
I have grown up listening to your music roger, and I will never tire of it, the memories, I have , can never go away, so thank you roger, with all my heart.
Roger is amazing, and this song is truly beautiful, just shows how talented he is and I always loved his voice. I do miss his vocals in Pink Floyd songs I listen to but hearing his solo work makes it better. True legend!
I've got full Roger discography on CD and every time I listen to RADIO KAOS, I feel some kind of hope. I image that some day, someone like Billy turns the tide and changes people. I know it's only a metaphor and fantasy story, but it gives me hope.
I was one of the billion who lit a candle the night of the 1st live aid. The album, Radio K.O.A.S. is more relevant today than ever. The chit chat with the A.I. caller, Billy is funny, but prolly closer today, in 2019, than ever.
Hey Mr. Waters...Rodge..😊.. [I do very much like your inspirational music]..Particularly this one...in these circumstances..The Tide is [indeed] Turning..
LYRICS: [Verse 1] I used to think the world was flat Rarely threw my hat into the crowd I felt I had used up my quota of yearning Used to look in on the children at night In the glow of their Donald Duck light And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning [Hook] But ooh, the tide is turning The tide is turning [Verse 2] Satellite buzzing through the endless night Exclusive to moonshots and the world title fights Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning Who is the strongest? Who is the best? Who holds the aces, the East or the West? This is the crap that our children are learning [Hook] But ooh, the tide is turning (Ooh) The tide is turning The tide is turning (Ooh, the tide is turning) [Verse 3] Now the satellite's confused 'Cause on Saturday night The airwaves were full of compassion and light And his silicon heart warmed to the sight Of a billion candles burning [Hook] (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) The tide is turning, Billy [Verse 4] I'm not saying the battle is won But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun Wrested technology's sword from the hands of the warlords [Hook] Ooh, the tide is turning Ooh, the tide is turning The tide is turning, Sylvester [Outro] (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning) (Ooh, the tide is turning)

Roger is a truly accomplished man. He has stayed true to his beliefs.
He has not sold himself out like so many do.
A fantastic song by Roger waters and the Welsh Male voice choir at the end just brings tears to my eyes Just brilliant
For some reason I thought it was the red army choir. Incredibly moving and beautiful ending. Great video too
I’m Welsh. The effect of the choir coming in is incredible. What a wonderful, song.
Gets me every time
It’s rather fitting that he added in a Welsh choir because the main protagonist of the album, Billy, is actually Welsh
Will always remain a masterpiece, a classic.
Great Human being with great intelligence and had the balls to write about what he believe.

“I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd

In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights

But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning

'Cause on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart
Warmed to the sight of a billion candles burning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy
I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning”
Muchas gracias for posting the lyrics.
Big thanks!
Thank u

The Earth is Flat, not sure about the World, Roger hedging his bets,
Radio Kaos, the most underrated album of Roger Waters. Way before his time. Dont forget to look at the big picture while listening to.
It’s the only album of his I own.
Thank you Nancy lemon for these awesome songs .could listen to em over and over .never will stop loving these way Kool songs.1987 1988.
Has to be my favorite song by Roger. Truly, a great musician. If I ever get the chance to see him live, and be able to request any song, it would be this one, hands down.
Jennifer Bryant-Dixon my second after amused to death but I know what you mean so atmospheric and such a good song
A massive connection with this album, the Welsh choir and the mention of Llanelli was a revelation when we heard it stoned driving through the beautiful Welsh valleys as mischievous kids back in the early 90s,,it made you proud to be Welsh, GWLAD!!! ✌️
For some odd reason, whenever this chorus relays in my head I know somethings gunna change for me whether good or bad. It rarely occurs. Last time I heard it was when my youngest was born after that I struggled in all areas in my life, 12 years later I hear it today hence why I’m here watching this video and I know its to do with my unexpected new career and that’s to support and heal people in the health care industry 😍 This is my calling, I had to see darkness in order to be where I am today. Thanks Roger and universe ahaha 😊🙏
Thank you, Roger.
I have grown up listening to your music roger, and I will never tire of it, the memories, I have , can never go away, so thank you roger, with all my heart.
da una mente geniale un grande pezzo di meravigliosa bellezza...grazie x sempre Roger Waters!!! ❤⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tremendous Roger…the man knows the score
Roger is amazing, and this song is truly beautiful, just shows how talented he is and I always loved his voice. I do miss his vocals in Pink Floyd songs I listen to but hearing his solo work makes it better. True legend!
I've got full Roger discography on CD and every time I listen to RADIO KAOS, I feel some kind of hope. I image that some day, someone like Billy turns the tide and changes people. I know it's only a metaphor and fantasy story, but it gives me hope.
Dear Roger. This helped us to survive in Century 20. Now it helps us to live.
Thank you an' take care!
Soldiers of Generation 60s.🥁💂🏻♂️ SIR!!! ✌️🏻
Thank You for the music.... from Russia
Wait, did you come with love?
What a Vision... What a Mind... What Talent.
One of my favourite songs ever made.
Astonishing work of art and outstanding composition.
yes, this is gold..... so much to learn here..... i remember when my kids played together in the street.... how did we steer so far away?
Rogers Waters artista completo!! Fã incondicional desse monstro!!
May ĺaif is gust rajer waters musikk. He is gud off muzikk. Adel
I was one of the billion who lit a candle the night of the 1st live aid. The album, Radio K.O.A.S. is more relevant today than ever. The chit chat with the A.I. caller, Billy is funny, but prolly closer today, in 2019, than ever.
Love this one.
Brilliant , Mr Waters for prime minister !🇬🇧
beautiful song
what a beautiful voice Roger waters has i love this song
Song gives me the shivers.😮.
Lived through the cold war.
I thouroughly believe in premonitions.
History will repeat with a vengeance!
Love and respect to all.
The Tide is Greatly Turning indeed! [2020].
This has been my favourite song since I was 8. Thank you.
Cant say anything else but "ooooooh oooh ooh,the tide is turning". Long live Roger Waters.✌😎
My mom turned me into pink Floyd and Roger waters fan she has great taste in music im 44 and still jamming to Roger.
One of those songs that hits the heartstrings and very emotionally charged
if we choose the best songs of each album of roger, david and rick and we recopilate them together, then we get another awesome pink floyd´s album
Must of bought this album at least 7 times on different formats since it's release, still gives me chills over 30yrs later,,
Hey Mr. Waters...Rodge..😊.. [I do very much like your inspirational music]..Particularly this one...in these circumstances..The Tide is [indeed] Turning..
The live performance with a remarkable casting is unforgettable
One of the greatest songs ever written! Roger Waters a true music genius!
Radio kaos saved me...... Then the pros and cons of hitchhiking. Thank you Roger ❤
Love this! A song of hope! Love Roger's voice!
Work of an musical mastermind, love it.
another masterpiece in this gone strange world
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
[Hook]
But ooh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
[Verse 2]
Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and the world title fights
Jesus Christ, imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest? Who is the best?
Who holds the aces, the East or the West?
This is the crap that our children are learning
[Hook]
But ooh, the tide is turning
(Ooh) The tide is turning
The tide is turning
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
[Verse 3]
Now the satellite's confused
'Cause on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed to the sight
Of a billion candles burning
[Hook]
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
The tide is turning, Billy
[Verse 4]
I'm not saying the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hands of the warlords
[Hook]
Ooh, the tide is turning
Ooh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning, Sylvester
[Outro]
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
(Ooh, the tide is turning)
Superbbbb!!!
Roger Waters is my fav!Perfect! Thank you for the posting!
Love Roger. Honest, stands for what he believes. Great voice, sharp mind. Love PF, but the band is not the same without him.
Unrecognized brilliance!...
Roger. Sir! Let the Lord make the Tide turnin' again. Again an' again, an' again!✌️🏻
Beautiful...my favourite song to listen to whilst gazing wistfully out to see .....Blissful...💜
