Pink Floyd - A Great Day For Freedom Lyrics
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbors turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitter residues slipped away...slipped away

Pink Floyd A Great Day For Freedom Comments
I love this album. Anyone else?
Welcome to 2020, the death of freedom
I think we need to hear the division bells more than ever in 2020
This song was written for one reason...a new epoch at the end of an age. 2000's.
Magnificent 👏 💖 great....
THE BREXIT SONG. FREEDOM DAY.
Did you hear the ending of the song? It ends bitterly, all hopes bashed
On the day the world came down, we flew like eagles to the ground, and with wings up high, we raised a cry, for Freedom had arrived.
*the wall (the Berlin Wall) came down
@doly gore Ah understood! (;
Just Art
Mi álbum favorito
These were no humans, but music Gods in human form. Timeless music... If I could somehow come back to Earth 200 years from now, I know that Pink Floyd's music will be playing somewhere and it will... it will haunt me... I will shed tears of joy, of feelings I can not express in words. For the world is a better place, and always will be because Pink Floyd existed in a blink of time... and never ever ceased to exist. I wish I had discovered Floyd sooner in my life... I feel like I missed out on days and years without such beautiful and deep music and art... what loss it would have been if I (and the world) did not experience the phenomenon that started in London in 1965
esse som faz voce viajar no passado e no futuro ao mesmo tempo, like show . ouvindo em 04/11/2019
É muito bom 🥰
David Gilmour, Roger Waters And Nick Mason Should Do One More Album As Pink Floyd.
A Great Day For Freedom Is A Wonderful Song By Pink Floyd And Is A Masterpiece That Will Be A Timeless Classic For Many Years To Come.
I'm on the heaven , with a joint that shows my way to fly in the infinite black sky that shines my mind....
Amazing…;)
Fuck Waters and Fuck Communism
I think Floyd would still exist and produce some new records if it wasn't for the Ricks sake......
Thanks pink Floyd for this song.
greey year to 2020
This song was in my dream
O solo de guitarra de Gilmour nesta música simplesmente lhe dá o título do guitarrista que toca a alma, que faz literalmente a guitarra e quem ouve chorar. A música toda é linda, os teclados de Richard wright, o instrumental, as B. vocals.. isso é um Hino.
One of the greatest bands of all time. One of the greatest voices of all time. One of the greatest songs of all time. All is well.
not much time
Back when this album released, diehard Floyd fans bashed it. As a lifetime fan, I have this opinion: The Division Bell is a culmination of everything this band has done, distilled to a pure form of artistry and beauty at a level of perfection that only decades of honing can accomplish.
I never bashed it, 45 years on this planet and they are still my #1
Many people still bash it, though. I never liked Division Bell, even after I gave a listen...that is, until I gave it another listen and then another, that the album grew on me, and is now one of my favorite albums.
This was the album that got me into the Pink Floyd. Imo it’s the best out of all the albums and I know every lyric of every song off every album. Pink Floyd are God’s
Muito boa
The Division Bell the best album in history
Roi des groupes de rock anglais et du monde, divine musique que celle des Pink Floyd...
I never get tired of Floyd songs, they talk to me so much, they make me feel so well, I just love that band
❤❤❤
This whole album contains amazing solos by Gilmore, pure genious
I read the books with pink Floyd is good for the real imagination
Genial👌
Name a better solo, ill wait
I hope Sabaton covers this
Shout out to NATO
Bu albüm
The album cover is shown on the wall of the kid who disappeared in jumanji 2, which i found strange considering he was portrayed as a metal head. Just wanted to point that out. Its a cool easter egg for floyd fams if you watch the movie
The Solo !!!!!! where does it come from
I am listening to this as I vote.
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry
for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret,
cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and looked at you
And all but the bitter residue slipped away ... slipped away
de vistas tiene la marca de la bestia
Aqui no Brasil essa Banda é conhecida e respeitada , adoro esse som o melhor rock progressivo que já ouvi 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Dear Roger Waters and David Gilmour, It's 5:10 A.M. on December 18th, 2018, I'm sitting here watching the Division Bell?:) CharlieThe WORM GOD
God is on the face of the Earth
Today is Nov. 11, 2018 or 11-11-11 (gematria, 2+1+8=11).
It might be a great day for freedom. ?????
That solo will take you somewhere you never been
I cry when listen the song. 😢
The freedom is a fight constant!
canciones que siempre gustaran ala gente que solo
sabe escuchar musica
love Dave gimour's VOice and great guitar solo!
Guys, this is not the original version, isn't it? Why I cannot find the original one??
Not sure, they have the CD at Barnes and Noble for $15. Sounds about what I remember. Vinyl sounds a bit different. Higher highs and lower lows. Better mid in my option. IMO, vinyl records have a better sound.
Great song! \m/
Paz e Liberdadeeeeee
My Mum past away a year ago ,And every time i hear this ,I think of her .
Awsome solo. But Think pulse version is better
When things are at their lowest point, listen to this song. ❤️
Is there any doubt that David Gilmour is the greatest guitar player of all time? Nope...not in my opinion. WOW...
Id say just overall jimmi Hendrix is probably a better PLAYER, but heres no better writer than gilmour. Jimmi is the motzart of guitar, a prodigy known for his abilities. David is Beethoven who is less known for his abilities to play but to create
Great music of the space...the univers ....from all things great in this world <3
Pink Floyd pra SEMPRE !!!!
Thank you for uploading this. :^)
This brings back so many memories..Many WONDERFUL...& some sad...I wish I could go back to March24th 94 when I was at this concert and do things differently...I was with someone that I am no longer with and even though I was 18 then ,Im 43 now and still miss them..PINK FLOYD FOREVER..RIP RICK.. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR MUSIC AND MEMORIES!
one of my favorite David Gilmour solos of all time. In the pocket, soulful, and the epitome of making a guitar sing.
this track is up thare with anything that floyd has done
Masterpiece!
Beautiful for the 6th of May, 2018. Day For Freedom in London.
Look at the bottom of the picture
Pink floyd division bell
i imagine this playing in the credits of the movie "the wall", it fits so well.
A salute to those who work to liberate Western Europe from the tyranny of the EU!!!
Eu queria morar nesse solo!
Such prophetic words
Album of amazing solo's and this one is another total killer! The way Gilmour plays guitar is just unbelievable, his solo's are slow with fantastic construction and tone of the guitar is just incredible, he is digging into your soul so deep that tears must start running. What and amazing song and album, timeless!
You are 100% spot on with your comments. Well written!
on a side, another great solo would be Zappa with watermelon in easter hay.. but yes back to Gilmour anyday.
pink floyd the best band ever
Theme song for if the U.S. liberates North Korea from Kim Jong Un’s regime.
MItchell Shaughnessy The North Koreans need to liberate their hearts and their minds otherwise they will simply revert to a new Communist master...
MItchell Shaughnessy Nah, this song should be played when most of Congress and the Senate is hauled off for corruption and treason.
I hate that prick, Kim Jong Un. Trump is an asshole just as well, as most politicians are, but nothing matches the cruelty of the Kims. I advocate anything that could make Kim's empire of darkness fall, and bring the light to the North Korean people. No place in this world is as dystopian as North Korea, it's George Orwell's worst nightmares come true. I'd even go as far as to say he, and his father and grandfather before him, surpass Hitler or Stalin in cruelty. I hope one day he'll be deposed, preferably by his own people, and brought to the international courts to face the just punishment for all of his human rights abuses. But that's merely a dream.
Nick Soma Agreed but the Left in the USA will never allow him to be tried for crimes against humanity. Ironically the biggest protector of the Status Quo has been the USA!
ABSOLUTELY MASTERPIECE from a masterpiece album,,,,,,,
Uma das melhores músicas do Pink Floyd, com um solo incrível de emocionante. Vida longa a David Gilmour
Deep thinking of the twenty four elders in heaven and how i got the nick name floyd from certain friends. Very deep music
I haven't heard this song in years, as soon as it startedI shed tears. Powerful, no one does it like Pink Floyd!
I always shed tears to this song.
Less than a 500 K clicks for this perfect piece of magic, and a Kardashian Ass of some incomprehensible jibberish gets a billion clicks. You wonder why this world is fucked-up?

On the day the wall came down

And all but the bitter residues slipped away...slipped away
@Misha Bonnie why so down?
This is perfection, this is Pink Floyd
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey...
Amazing song. Not sure it is entirely about the Berlin 'Wall' though... http://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-pink-floyd-infamous-rock-lawsuits/
pink floyd is unique... music done with pure intelligance and deep felling
It's 2017 and we still love you Pink Floyd
im looking for a live performance extended version of this and with the chorale group on the background. Man, i wish the song wont end. its like the song is lifting your spirit towards heaven passing through the vast oceans and vacuum space in the universe which i sometimes think question my existence. such wonderful song.
amazing guitar solo 2:20
I love how the song CLOSES with a WICKED guitar solo....amazing tone and playing ...wow.....
Truly Amazing...!!!
mind-blowing solo David is among the greatest
Obra prima!! 👏 obrigada pai pela influência magnífica de crescer ouvindo esse mito. Pink Floyd até a morte!!💀💀
That guitar solo💥💜
revisiting The Wall one last time as we walk along the shattered remains of it everything looks exactly how it is right after his trial.
Delicioso y mágico.

long life 4 u
Hopefully you'll be around for a while! Not to sound too morbid but there are two more songs that may be used for remembering any family or friends at funerals. They are 'I Will Remember You' by Amy Grant and 'Old and Wise' by Alan Parsons. Take care!
