Roger Waters says he \u201cstole\u201d from a classic Bob Dylan<\/a> song for his new, unreleased song. <\/p>\n

The Pink Floyd<\/a> founder and bassist suggested Dylan\u2019s legendary closing song from Blonde on Blonde<\/a><\/em>, Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands<\/em>, was a crucial part of his new song, The Bar<\/em>. Speaking to the audience after a performance of Two Suns in the Sunset<\/em>, Waters<\/a> confirmed he had the veteran songwriter behind Mr. Tambourine Man<\/em> and Desolation Row<\/em> to thank for his latest track, which has yet to receive a studio release. The performance of Two Suns in the Sunset<\/em> forms part of Waters\u2019 recent live album release, This is Not a Drill<\/em>. On the album, Waters confirmed he was moved by Dylan\u2019s classic track, and it\u2019s not the first time he has shared his appreciation for the Nobel Prize for Literature winner. <\/p>\n

Waters had already shared his love for the song in an interview with Howard Stern. He told<\/a> the legendary disc jockey: \u201cWhen I heard that, I thought, \u2018Wow, if Bob can do it, I can do it.’\u201d True to form, Waters has seemingly tried his hand at a mighty ballad on level with Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands<\/em> with the inclusion of The Bar Part II<\/em> on his live album release. <\/p>\n

He said before playing the song: \u201cBefore we sing this other verse of The Bar, <\/em>I have to mention three names. The first name is Bob Dylan. Back in 1966, Bob Dylan made a great album called Blonde on Blonde<\/em>. It\u2019s a double album, a double vinyl album, and side four was a long, incredibly beautiful ballad called Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not ashamed to say that it crept into my head when I was writing this verse. And so I stole some of the lyrics. Well, I didn\u2019t steal them, but I used them. I used the words \u2018sad, eyed,\u2019 and \u2018lady\u2019, and \u2018big, brass,\u2019 and \u2018bed\u2019. If you know the song, you\u2019ll know what I\u2019m talking about. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo, Bob, thank you. Anyone, if you run into Bob, could you say Roger says, \u2018Thank you\u2019.\u201d Waters would go on to share the \u201csad-eyed lady\u201d in the song is his wife, Kamilah Chavis. He added: \u201cShe is the rock upon which I lean. I think she\u2019s actually here tonight, so she\u2019ll hear you if you do that [cheer].\u201d<\/p>\n

Waters\u2019 love for Dylan\u2019s work is long-standing, and also for Dylan\u2019s song, Jakob Dylan. When asked for his favourite songs from the last twenty years, Waters said one from Wallflowers, the band which features Jakob, still \u201cexcites\u201d him.<\/p>\n

Waters told\u00a0Word Magazine<\/a>: \u201cThere\u2019s been one or two songs in the last twenty years.\u00a0Everybody Hurts<\/em>\u00a0by REM.\u00a0That song is phenomenal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd\u00a0Every Breath You Take\u00a0<\/em>by Sting.\u00a0I loved that song\u00a0One Headlight<\/em>\u00a0by the Wallflowers [Dylan\u2019s son Jakob\u2019s band].\u00a0It probably appealed to me the same way Tommy Steel\u2019s version of\u00a0Singing the Blues<\/em>\u00a0did when I first heard it and took up my position in the corner of the playground to defend it against the Guy Mitchell version!\u201d<\/p>\n
