Each Small Candle

Each Small Candle

"Each Small Candle" is a song by Roger Waters. It was released on his album "In the Flesh Live" in 2000. Most of the lyrics were inspired by a news story from the Kosovo war of a Serbian soldier who saw a wounded Albanian woman, left his ranks and helped her.

It also includes a stanza translated from Danish poet Halfdan Rasmussen's work "Ikke Bødlen"Fact|date=July 2007 (and is, thus, credited as "Waters/Rasmussen"Fact|date=July 2007), which has been wrongly attributedFact|date=July 2007 to an unknown torture victim from Argentina.

The song was included in the encore of all the concerts of the 2000 In The Flesh tour, and some of the concerts of the 2002 tour (alternating with "Flickering Flame").
