“The Gunner’s Dream” is a Pink Floyd song off of the 1983 album “The Final Cut”. This song shows the thoughts of a gunner in World War 2 “floating down, through the clouds” towards the battlefield. During his descent, the gunner dreams of his future after the war. He envisions himself not living through the war. His family members are walking away from a service in November, presumably a Remembrance Day Ceremony. His dream carries onto a peaceful world, one away from the useless death caused by wars. The line “No one kills the children anymore” is repeated to emphasize the point, that the children die from being sent to these unnecessary wars. Lastly, the gunner is said to “sleep tonight in some foreign field”, displaying his fear and dream had come true, that he has passed in the battle. The listener is told to “take heed of the dream”, to carry on the wishes of the gunner, to have a peaceful world without wars. The song shows multiple points of what makes us human, remembrance, and ceremony of those who have passed and the furthering of a legacy, it also shows how humans can be cruel and violent.
