Tribute To Legends: Hold On To The Dream

"You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream"

Inspired by the song and lyrics "The Gunner's Dream" in The Final Cut Album by Pink Floyd, 1983 Written by Roger Waters

"The Gunner's Dream" tells the story of a gunner, a soldier who has lost his life in war. The lyrics reflect on his experiences and thoughts as he approaches death. The song juxtaposes the gunner's personal reflections with broader social and political commentary.

The gunner's dream is a metaphorical representation of his ideal world, a utopia where war and violence cease to exist. In this dream, he envisions a peaceful society where people can live without fear and conflict. He longs for a world where the injustices and horrors of war are replaced by compassion, understanding, and harmony.

It is also thought that some of the lyrics refer to bombings in London, 1982.
