"Pigs on the Wing" is a two-part song by English rock band Pink Floyd from their 1977 concept album Animals, opening and closing the album. [1] According to various interviews, it was written by Roger Waters as a declaration of love to his new wife Carolyne Christie .
The album is bookended by each half of "Pigs on the Wing", a simple love song in which a glimmer of hope is offered despite the anger expressed in the other songs.
