Childhood's End

Pour le roman Childhood's End (titre original) d'Arthur C. Clarke, voir Les Enfants d'Icare.

Childhood's End est une chanson de Pink Floyd, figurant sur l'album Obscured by Clouds créée et enregistrée au château d'Hérouville à côté de Pontoise en France en 1972. C’est le septième morceau de l’album.

C’est la dernière chanson de Pink Floyd écrite et composée entièrement par David Gilmour avant l’album A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

L’écriture de la chanson est marquée par l’influence de l’écrivain Arthur C. Clarke et de son roman homonyme Childhood's End. Les paroles de la chanson renvoient distinctement à la description des derniers jours de Jan Rodricks, principal personnage du roman et dernier homme vivant sur la terre.
