When The Tigers Broke Free, part 1 – The Wall Analysis. Song In A Sentence: Pink recalls the last morning of his father’s life, who was killed in action on January 2.

Battle of Anzio in Italy during World World II. A. nxious as we are to dive headfirst into the heart of the Wall, let’s take a moment at the beginning to address the song that opens the film and sets the stage for what is to come. Though most people assume “When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 1” is the first song of the movie, that honor actually belongs to “The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot” as sung by Vera Lynn, part of which can be heard as the camera pans down the long, sterile hotel hallway. Click to listen to Vera’s song in full.] As heard on the live Floyd album Is There Anybody Out There: The Wall, Live 1. Wall shows with Vera’s war- era classic “We’ll Meet Again” playing over the loudspeakers, but for the movie Waters opted for the potentially more symbolic “Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot”, the lyrics of which are as follows: “Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy / The laughter and the joy / They find in each new toy.

• When the Tigers Broke Free, pt 1 [Roger Waters] It was just before dawn one miserable Morning in black Forty-Four. When the forward commander was told to sit tight.
• Actually it was supposed to be a Walther ppk in 380 but they used a Walther PP instead (for the first and I think part of the second movie). There is a Walther pp.

I tell you of the little boy who lives across the way. This fella’s Christmas is just another day…” At this point, the vacuum cleaner whirs into electric life and “When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 1” begins.

Yet that’s not the end of Ms. Lynn’s musical cameo. After “Tigers” ends, Vera’s song continues along with the extreme closeup of Pink’s Mickey Mouse watch. He’s the little boy that Santa Claus forgot” she sings. And goodness knows he didn’t want a lot. He sent a note to Santa for some soldiers and a drum. It broke his little heart when he found Santa hadn’t come.

In the street he envies all those lucky boys…” Once again, the vacuum drowns out the song. Not heard in the movie, the lyrics continue with “In the street he envies all those lucky boys / Then wandered home to last year’s broken toys. I’m so sorry for that laddie, / He hasn’t got a daddy. The little boy that Santa Claus forgot.” Penned in 1. Michael Carr, Tommie Connor and and Jimmy Leach, and most memorably sung by Vera Lynn, “The Little Boy.” is a song at once nostalgic and poignant in its quiet depiction of that universal transition from innocence to experience (to borrow a poetic conceit from William Blake). Though ostensibly about a down- on- his- luck boy who receives nothing for Christmas because he’s from an impoverished family in which the father figure is absent, it’s easy to see how the simple story might have had a deeper significance in the context of the war- ravaged era in which it was written.

So many of the songs of that time – Vera’s included – were populated with messages of hope barely covering a deeper unease, both for a past that seemed impossibly distant and a future that was as uncertain as it was eventual. Ms. Lynn’s “We’ll Meet Again” is a perfect example of such hopeful uncertainty, but more on that in the “Vera” analysis.) Removed though it is by a few narrative degrees from the war at hand, “The Little Boy…” is still a terrific illustration of the Western world struggling to come to terms with a reality far removed from its political, religious and social ideals. In a perfect world, as a proverb might go, all deserving children get presents at Christmastime regardless of wealth or social standing. The flipside of that adage, just like the flipside of “the Little Boy…”, is that this isn’t a perfect world; childhood naivete is quickly replaced with adulthood realization; fantasy with disenchantment; hope with envy. While I hesitate in drawing too much of a philosophical connection between the Little Boy and the character of Pink, it’s little wonder that Waters chose to begin Pink’s story with a metaphor about faith and illusion, fantasy and reality. As we find out with each subsequent song, Pink himself is stuck in a self- imposed limbo teetering between a longing for a childhood innocence he never really knew and an unwillingness to face the splintering reality that he has helped shape. Laboring under the delusion of harmless existence, Pink obsesses over everything his childhood was not, and everything that his life has turned out to be.

He is the little boy who not only awoke to find out there is no Santa Claus, but awoke to find there’s no such thing as a fair life, as well. In a perfect world, all deserving children get presents at Christmastime. In this world, however, little boys are born without fathers, to overprotective mothers, to personally deadening social systems in a country still reeling from war.

If anything, The Wall is that exactly: a postmodern requiem for both former and present times, a lamenting of the imagined innocence of a pre- war era that will never be whole again (though such yesteryear innocence only exists through the backward lens of nostalgia) while grieving the state of the post- World War II world. In the context of the movie, Vera’s song becomes less a maudlin tale about a down- on- his- luck kid and more a dirge concerning the uncertainties of life fully realized, good and bad. In a way, her message is the very first lesson learned in a highly fragmented, postmodern world: just as there is no Santa Claus, no arbiter of good deeds, there is no guarantee that life will be fair. Accordingly, Pink’s life is bookmarked by post- war fragmentation, both literally and symbolically. The artistic “first chapter” of Pink’s life (i.

Vera’s song about dreams and disappointment, while the real “first chapter” (“Tigers, Part 1” / “In the Flesh?”) finds Pink fatherless, just like the little boy in Vera’s song. Even more interesting is the vacuum cleaner that interrupts Vera’s song in order to segue into “When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 1.” The vacuum is both the object that obstructs Pink’s thoughts in the present as well as the physical embodiment of the void around which he feels his entire life is based.

It’s only fitting that Waters, known for his fascination with cycles, leads us from our introduction to Pink via “The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot” directly to the vacuum/void, all before taking us to the main root of this abyss…the absent father.

Curiously enough, many Floydians rank “When the Tigers Broke Free” among their favorite Wall songs…despite the fact that the song was not part of the Wall canon until it appeared in the movie three years after the album’s release and subsequent concert tour. On the DVD commentary, Waters states that “Tigers” was written specifically for the movie, though later he says that it was a song that was just lying around.

It’s possible that it was a fragment during the album’s recording, and was finished and polished especially for the movie.) It’s easy to see why many fans gravitate to this song; in an album notoriously known for its ambiguity, “Tigers” is a rare (at least for the Wall), raw, straight- forward narrative more akin to the personal portraits of Pink Floyd’s follow- up album, the Final Cut: A Requiem For the Post- War Dream. While one would think that this dramatic difference in style would make it an ill fit for the the film – especially as the opening piece – some might argue that the song’s unflinching emotionality is exactly what makes it a fantastic beginning. Narratively speaking, the events recounted in the song’s first half take place while Pink is in utero, making the song and its utter lack of irony a great, tonal parallel for Pink’s literal and symbolic pre- birth state. This is a quiescent time when emotion is just that: raw, unfiltered and unimpeded by one’s personal bricks (defense mechanisms). While the narrative voice is grown up and reflective and, in this first part, almost detached – like a historian recounting events of the past – it fits perfectly as a prelude to Pink’s own story as he sits lethargic in his hotel room/womb until his metaphorical birth into narrative action with “In the Flesh?” In many respects, “When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 1” is the proverbial quiet before the storm.
