Roger Waters has issued a video for the track, “Wait For Her”, from his recently-released album, “Is This The Life We Really Want?”
The clip was coproduced by Waters and longtime collaborator Sean Evans, who previously collaborated on the 2015 concert film, “Roger Waters: The Wall”, which documented the bassist’s 3-year solo tour using the legendary 1979 Pink Floyd album as its centerpiece.
“Wait For Her” mixes footage of Waters and his band performing in a studio while a flamenco dancer prepares for a performance.
"We met Azzura, the actress/dancer, while doing a casting for the part in 'The Last Refugee,'" Evans tells Rolling Stone. "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.' The song has a yearning that we felt a band performance alone wouldn’t quite address."
The director reveals the two videos are related, while added that he and Waters have ideas for further chapters in the story.
"It is sort of a continuation and also sort of a prelude," Evans explains. "They are companion pieces, but are not meant to live in linear time with each other. Both were intentionally created that way and are meant to be open to interpretation."
Waters recorded “Is This The Life We Really Want?” with producer Nigel Godrich in London and Los Angeles.
The former Pink Floyd bassist is currently performing material from the project on his 2017 Us + Them North American tour, which he launched in Kansas City, MO on May 26.
