It is analagous to actual war, like WWII, in that the war we fight within ourselves can be very harsh and sometmies is as bad as an actual "real" war. Look at Pink in the movie He grew up in a time of war, lost his dad to the war and felt isolated and alone On a smaller scale, this guy has basically been fighting a war within himself ever since he was young.
I think Goodbye Blue Sky addresses the misconception of what we think life is. We each grow up and are taught that the world is this great place and there are nice loving people out there This life we live can seem all wonderful and great then something can happen and it all comes crashing down like "falling bombs.
There was an error. Christina78 I think this particular song is about the Blitz. The first half of the album is about Pink's life, mostly bill on October 28, General Comment IM sorry but I am gonna go out on a limb here and say it is not about WW2, yes it has distinct connotations and it has to do with war somewhat.
In my opinion it is about dreams, In the middle of the song he says "When the promise of a brave new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky" and then the part before it is talking about bombs and fear then the part after it is talking about bombs and fear, I feel that he is trying to instill a sense of hope in between the chaos of whatever goes on in our lives, not just war.

Come on, use some common sense, why the hell would the kid just all of a sudden say to his mom, "Hey look at that, theres no plane in the sky" that doesnt make any sense, thats like saying, "Hey look, theres no monkey there" Why would anyone take the time and point out whats not there?
Plus, if you turn it up, you can clearly hear a plane. If the girl actually did say theres no plane, then you would hear no plane. British kids have that halting way of speaking, plus I'm pretty sure its a boy. And its pointless to fight over what the song really means, just about every Pink Floyd song is geniusly written to have multiple meanings, or be just vague and deep enough to let people put their own views into it and sound right.
No one writes songs like Roger Waters did. LuciferSam on October 01, Link. General Comment To me the song is about an atomic war that never happened. The little girl says theres an aeroplane in the sky. Just one? Cant be the blitz but could be a lonely bomber unloading an atomic bomb on london or somewhere.
The fact they have to run for shelter with the promise of a brave new world implies running to a fallout shelter and rebuilding a world shattered by nuclear attacks. Is it the fault of these technological wonders themselves, or the human lust for more power inspired by the machines that led to the Hitlers and, to a FAR lesser extent, the Pinks of the world?
Perhaps a smattering of both, though ultimately I think Waters is an optimist who believes that just as fault might lie with both, so might salvation. In the film, this creature is shown while you can hear 'Did you see the frightened ones?
Critics mentioned that this model of society social contract , which does not mention civil rights but only an early form of law and order, is some kind of model type for a modern tyranny. Hobbes also mentioned that you are not allowed to revolt against the social contract. This reminds me of Orwell. Perhaps I am going to over-interpret this image. Otherwise, these are at least coincidences, and this would be again a clever move of Waters and his staff if he were going to explain the area of conflict of individual rights vs.
Furthermore, we have again the problem of creating some kind of Utopia Huxley , of the control of states Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Well, Waters is a genius. There's an airplane up in the sky. Di' di' di' did you hear the falling bombs? Di' di' di' did you ever wonder why we Had to run for shelter when the Promise of a brave, new world Unfurled beneath the clear blue sky? Di' di' di' did you see the frightened ones? Goodbye Blue Sky. Edit source History Talk 0.
Armenian-American alternative metal band System of a Down has also covered the song live on at least four separate occasions.
This is fairly quiet in dynamic, although tone changes several times throughout. It is 2 minutes, 45 seconds long. In the intro, there is an innocent childish voice stating, "Look, mummy, there's an airplane up in the sky! This particular section is calm and tranquil initially, but quickly grows more sinister in tone. Shortly after the tone change, the lyrics commence.
The song bears similarity to " Grantchester Meadows ".
