Pink Floyd  The Final Cut, two suns in the sunset. 
Roger Waters:“That was a thought I had, driving home one night, thinking: We all sit around and talk about the possibility of accidents, or as I put it in the song, people just getting so bloody angry that finally somebody pushes a button. Well, the song’s all about that moment when suddenly it happens, you know it’s happened and you know, it’s the end, you’re dead, and it’s the end of the world, and that you’ll never see your kids again or your wife or anybody that you love and it’s over. It’s very easy to go ‘Oh yes, well, there may be an accident and the holocaust may happen,’ without having the feeling of what it might be like. And that’s why it says in the song ’…finally I understand the feelings of the Few’ which is supposed to be a reference to the bomber and the gunner and all those people, my dad, and all the other war casualties. That song, I suppose, in a way is going back to the second song where there’s a line, 'a warning to anyone still in command of their possible futures: to take care.’”
