    Goobye Blue Sky
    ---------------

    [ Look, Mummy. There's an airplane up in the sky. ]

    Did you, did you see the frightened ones?
    Did you, did you hear the falling bombs?
    Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter,
    When the promise of a brave new world,
    Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

    Did you, did you see the frightened ones?
    Did you, did you hear the falling bombs?
    The flames are all long gone,
    But the pain lingers on.
    Goodbye, blue sky.
    Goodbye, blue sky.
    Goodbye.
    Goodbye.

    That is a little boy by the name of Pink. The title character in the movie The Wall, when he was a child.

    The scene is about his father going off to war and never returning.

    The part was played by David Bingham.

    This lack of a Father is the basis for the entire movie. A doting Mother who built "The Wall" (protective) too high then Pinks reaction to build it (an emotional one) even higher.

    The rest falls into place in the typical "youth gone astray" scenario. But this scenario is one of extreme extremes.

    The movie is a complete circle. Birth to infancy to adulthood to adult emotional infancy to death.

    Actually the character Pink is not shown in the movie saying these words. They are heard on the album however so it is a very safe assumption that it is Pink saying them.

    This is true groovy. But we are in the knowledge that this is who it is. Agreed?
