Last night I watched the 2013 documentary film"The Man Who Saved The World” The man’s name is Stanislav Petrov.The year before Stanislav saved the WorldIn the year 1982 I wrote a song“The Gunner’s Dream”It’s weird to think that had Stanislav not beenIn the right place at the right timeNone of us would be aliveNo one under the age of 37Would have have been born at all.It is acknowledged by all but the cretins amongst usThat nuclear arms have no valueIt is also acknowledged thatThey are a ticking bombAnd we ignore them at our perilAccidents happenThe Stanislavs of this world are a rare breed.We’ve been extraordinarily lucky.If I ruled the world, I would heed the words of the wiseI would get rid of nuclear weaponsFirst thing tomorrow morning.On Dr. King’s name day.Of course no-one can rule the worldThe world cannot be ruledIt can only be loved and respected and shared.If we’re still here in the morningSo here is a new recording and video of"The Gunner’s Dream"As a gift from me and my lovely band and our friendsTo youWith our love (Roger Waters.)--------------------Roger Waters: Piano and VocalDave Kilminster: GuitarJoey Waronker: DrumsLucius- Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig: VocalsGus Seyffert: BassJonathan Wilson: GuitarJon Carin: Piano and KeysBo Koster: Hammond
