"Vera" is a song by Pink Floyd. The name is a reference to Vera Lynn, a British singer during World War II and her popular song "We'll Meet Again". The reference is ironic, as Roger Waters (and his fictional character "Pink") would not meet his father, lost in the war. The lyric "Vera, what has become of you?" suggests that Vera Lynn herself, like her promise, vanished. It has also been interpreted to mean that hope is gone. Interestingly, the name Vera comes from the Slavic word for "faith". WikipediaHere's a fragment of 'The Wall' movie with Vera. Please notice little Pink on the platform. pl.youtube.com/watch?v=-TZLZ4-uV9Y(sidenote. In Poland we cannot forget there were countries in Europe, including Poland with the inverse joyfull to sad ratio situation on their platforms..........)
