Roger Waters shares video for “Wait for Her” - WATCH

Ex Pink Floyd Roger Waters dropped a new video for the track “Wait for Her”, from his latest solo album.

The lyrics for the song were inspired by “Lesson From the Kama Sutra (Wait for Her)” by the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish as well as the tragic death of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, whose body was discovered on the shores of Turkey in 2015. That emotional heft is present in the video, as well, as a flamenco dancer (Azzura, who also starred in Waters’ “The Last Refugee” clip) prepares for a performance with the memory of her young daughter weighing down on her.

"When Roger wrote this song, his adaptation of the poem took on a sensual yet melancholy tone, and the video needed to represent that,” director Sean Evans told "Rolling Stone". “It needed to show femininity and sexuality but also needed to have an air of loss and pain, and longing for a time that was”. Evans even chose to represent that pain by placing a prominent scar on his star, Azzura. “That mark was important to the video – it is a symbol of the physical torment refugees endure”.
