Roger Waters has released a video for his emotional new track "Wait For Her".
It’s taken from the former Pink Floyd man’s latest studio album "Is This The Life We Really Want?" which came out in June via Columbia Records. It’s Waters first studio album since 1992’s "Amused To Death".
Waters once again collaborated with Sean Evans for the promo, with the pair working together previously on the poignant video for "The Last Refugee". The short also features actor and dancer Azzura who also starred in the previous release.
Evans tells Rolling Stone: “We met Azzura while doing a casting for the part in 'The Last Refugee'.
“That part called for a woman who was an experienced flamenco dancer and who could convincingly have a mother/daughter interaction with a child actress.
“Azzura was perfect – she’s a trained dancer and when not dancing, she works with kids. She did such a fantastic job during the filming of 'The Last Refugee', that Roger and I wanted to include her in 'Wait For Her'.”
Evans adds: “The song has a yearning that we felt a band performance alone wouldn’t quite address.”
Rolling Stone also report that the track was inspired by the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish’s work "Lessons From The Kama Sutra".
Evans continues: “When Roger wrote this song, his adaptation of the poem took on a sensual yet melancholy tone and the video needed to represent that. It needed to show femininity and sexuality but also needed to have an air of loss and pain, and longing for a time that was.”
Waters is currently on the road across the States on his Us + Them tour.(Source: www.teamrock.com)
