Composition
The piece is fairly quiet in terms of dynamics, although the tone does change several times throughout. It is about 2 minutes, 49 seconds in length. In the introduction section, there is an innocent childish voice stating, "Look, mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky!". This particular section is calm and tranquil initially, but quickly grows more sinister in tone. Shortly after the tone change, the main lyrical section commences. The song bears some similarity to Ummagumma's "Grantchester Meadows". Ummagumma is a progressive and psychedelic double album by Pink Floyd released in 1969. ...

Plot As with the other songs on The Wall, Goodbye Blue Sky tells a portion of the story of Pink, the album's protagonist. This song explains Pink's depression as a result of being forced to grow up in a postwar world with only his overprotective mother to care for him. It also describes Pink's sadness as a result of having the childhood he should have, being taken away from him before he was even born. Look up depression in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
Film Version In the film version, this segment is animated by Gerald Scarfe. It shows a dove exploding revealing a Nazi eagle, which grabs at the earth and leaves a trail of blood. It glides around England creating a warlord releasing planes. We see naked people wearing gas masks hiding from the danger ("the frightened ones") and a flag turning into a bleeding cross. This is one of the most dramatic animation segments in the film. Unlike the album, this comes in after When The Tigers Broke Free Part 2. When the Tigers Broke Free is a song by Roger Waters describing the death of his father, Eric Fletcher Waters, in World War II. The song was written specifically for the 1982 movie version of Pink Floyds album The Wall and first released as a 7 single on July...
