Haunting foreshadowing of a not too distant future from Pink Floyd's album The Wall. Lots of serious questions being asked by the singer with no answers ... because there is no one left to answer them. The familiar becomes alien and disquieting in a huge suburban vista devoid of any inhabitant, save for a few birds.
