Just watched the movie "The Legend of 1990" ("La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano") by Giuseppe Tornatore.

It is a story of a natural born pianist who spent all his life in a big passenger ship, never coming to the shore. Probably many of you know this film.

Interestingly enough, at the very last 4 minutes of the movie (when you see encores) Roger Waters performs the song "Lost Boys Calling". Music was wriitten by Ennio Morricone, lyrics - by Roger. Great mellow song, especially in the film context, lyrics sum up poetically the whole story. By the way, Eddie Van Halen played gutar solo.

Both the movie and the song are highly recommended.
