Pink Floyd’s former bassist Roger Waters released a new music video for the song “Wait for Her,” off his new LP Is This the Life We Really Want?
The video features actress and dancer Azzura, who appeared in Waters’ previously released video for “The Last Refugee” off the new LP. Waters’ Film and Creative Director Sean Evans spoke to Rolling Stone about Azzura’s performance.
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.
Evans also spoke about how “Wait for Her” and “The Last Refugee” tie together.
It is sort of a continuation and also sort of a prelude. 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.
You can catch Roger Waters in concert on his current “Us + Them” tour and his new LP Is This the Life We Really Want? is available now.
