The wall is a concept album and you need to listen to it all the way through to understand the concept. There was a film made of it called The Wall which is worth a watch. Mother is about an overprotective mum looking after her dysfunctional son. The wall is a symbol of hiding away from society and not letting anyone in.
This times 1000000000000% You cant take part and without undersetting the whole. Its almost impossible to describe without listening to the whole. I would put this up against Queensryche. Very few band devote an entire album as a whole
The thing about Pink Floyd is that it's best to listen to the whole album. Each album is a journey. You're just dipping your toes in right now. Lol
Thank you sir. People don't seem to understand this fact. It is so important that you remember the songs before and afterward.
I work with a lot of people in their late teens and early twenties and I'm in my sixties. I think that due to apps like Spotify they listen to tracks. Where as back in the day we had no apps etc so brought albums that were made as a complete collection and an experience in of itself.
You’re listening to a small fragment of Pinks descent as he builds his mental wall. Listen to the album start to finish. Do it as a reaction. Others have. I’ll listen to the whole thing with ya. 🤘🎸
I agree!! It’s definitely a whole experience! I will listen with you as well!
I'll listen to the whole album with you for sure!
Glad to see you're enjoying Pink Floyd! As others have mentioned, this song is like a chapter in a book. It can be great on its own, but when experienced along with the rest of the book it has more context and weight. Briefly, The Wall is about an aging rock star named Pink who builds a metaphorical wall around himself to shield himself from the world. His father was killied in World War 2 when he was very young and his mother, as you quickly picked up on, becomes over-protective. Comfortably Numb saw Pink at an incredible low point, where a doctor is injecting him with some kind of stimulant to get him coherent enough to play a show.
And backstory aside, the music is technically brilliant and Gilmour is a master at bending notes that send chills through the body. :)
And its semi-autobiographical (for Roger Waters).
You can learn so much from pink Floyd about life
It's hard to fathom how perceptive those guys were as basically still kids. Just amazing talent and creativity. And to Mollyboy, as others have said, you have to sit down without distractions and watch The Wall.
Roger is the son, David is the overprotective mother. This might be one of their deepest emotional songs because of the relationship between a mother and child.
Just watch the movie PINK FLOYD THE WALL.
The face when the Gilmour solo finally drops.
If you’ve never seen Pink Floyd, the wall movie then you can’t understand the concept of the whole album. Truly one of the best pieces of work to ever come out of the music world.
I don’t think you can even imagine, listening to this album from start to finish is life altering musically. Watching the movie as well.
Listen to The Lamb album by Genesis, also double concept album but poetically and musically richer like 10 times
" there seems to be some kind if message here." Ya think? And just for giggles....youre listening to the greatest guitar player to ever live.
My FAVORITE Pink Floyd song! ❤
Get really really REALLY high… and watch the movie on full blast volume for the songs in a dark room on a really nice flatscreen tv.
This song will never be “ok” to you again. The context matters A LOT.
It’s my favorite Floyd song from my 3rd favorite rock band ever.
Lyrically pure genius.
Pink Floyd is extremely popular with the 420 crowd, because they take you on a journey every song
Consider watching the movie "The Wall". Basically its a video of the entire album, all of which tells a story. The imagery in the video gives each song deeper meaning.
If you want some other stuff to check out, here's what I'd recommend:
Led Zeppelin: Kashmir [live]
Metallica: Master of Puppets
System of a Down: Chop Suey
Rage Against The Machine: Killing in the name
The Doors: Riders on the Storm
Slipknot: Duality
And for the best guitar solos, you've already reacted to the best one (Comfortably Numb), but the next 2 best (IMHO) are:
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Free Bird
Dire Straits: Sultans of Swing
I hope you get to hear one or two of them at least. Keep rockin'
You really need to do SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND to really understand Pink Floyd
The whole album is one long song it’s actually one of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life
When he says, “Mother did it need to be so high,” he’s realizing he’s getting more and more isolated behind this monstrous wall he’s built around himself - and a large number of those bricks were installed by her.
Love that you're trying to listen to the lyrics in these songs..."The Wall" is an album where you might even think about having the lyrics pulled up, just so you don't miss what they're saying. Another great "concept" album is "Dark Side of the Moon," which really should be listened to as a whole. Don't know if you've listened to RUSH, but, their album, "2112," is another outstanding concept album, as well as being musically incredible. Great reaction, as usual!
You cant go wrong with any Pink Floyd track or album. Im busting to hear you react to another Led Zeppelin fave of mine. Ramble On is an absolute banger. Peace Out ✌️
Watch the film! It's incredible!!
Mother is just one song in a great big story told throughout the album "The Wall"! When you first hear the song you think it's about a little boy talking about his mom and his mom is a loving mother! However you have to dissect the lyrics a little bit and realize the mother is afraid because she's a single mothe and the main character pink, his father was killed in world War II when pink was a little boy! Lyrics like I'll help you build the wall, mom is going to put her fears into you and make your nightmares come true! All those lyrics are leading to an overbearing mother who's afraid to let her son go. She won't let him go out and make his own mistakes and grow up thus the lyrics she might let you fly but she won't let you sing!
Just listen to it as a frightened single mother who won't let her son go. It's one of those tragic things with the mother not doing it on purpose she's just afraid!
The very last line "mother why did it have to be so high"? He's talking about the metaphorical wall was so high it wouldn't let him escape so he could go out and make mistakes and grow up!
My favorite song from 'The Wall', followed by Comfortably Numb 😎
This LP has to be listened to from start to finish all the songs relate to The Wall he had to overcome in his life . Mother, School , Relationships, Fame and feeling like a failure
Got to watch the movie. It will all make sense, all the songs from this album.
Love the live 1991 The Wall Live in Berlin version of this song with Sinead O'Connor singing it❤❤
You're smile says it all...😊
I totally agree with everyone else! You really need to be listening to the whole album, I also think you should do this first by yourself in a quiet space, with the volume turned up!
Guitar solo from David Gilmour is excellent here. Just wish it was longer. Outstanding guitar solo.
Can't believe it has taken you 3 songs to start to enjoy pink floyd!!!!
What videos are you watching? 🤣 I enjoyed Pink Floyd from the first song I heard
I enjoyed your reaction. This is one of my favorites in the PF canon. I was introduced to Pink Floyd in the mid 80s by west coast guys I met when I enlisted in the US Navy. I've been memorized by their music ever since. Also, you are truly adorable (I mean that in the least pervy way possible haha).
Absolutely beautiful song, great taste Molly👌
Hey Mollyboy.
What you need to understand.... and what you may well already understand, is that each song on The Wall needs to be absorbed in context with every other song on the album.
It's a story.
Watch the movie.
It was made by Pink Floyd for the music so not bad advice as it otherwise may be.
'Pink Floyd- Welcome To The Machine"
Roger waters (bass, vocals, composition) before he left PF. The poet and social commentator of PF. You have a long road to travel with Floyd. You CAN't bucket them in one style of music for sure.
Waters has his own version (less production) of PF concerts and has created equally amazing important music with Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking and Radio Kaos (a more commercial sounding LP). Pulse 94 is a significant milestone in concerts.
Decades for the band to reach the pinnacle of perfection in production, sound, visual and delivery of classics and new tunes from woefully represented gemstones from LPs momentary Lapse and Division Bell.
What made pulse even more magical for me was Gilmore's guitar tone, pedals and amps all dialed in for perfection in this one period of time.
CN and Sorrow were mind blowing in putting it all together. I was able to see 2 pulse shows, but having pulse Live available online for all of us to share is a rare experience and that's after all these Smithsonian LPs - The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish you were here.
I am sincerely interested if you young ones experiencing so much good music in such a short time will end up like Syd. Overload. Let us know how your doing once n a while.
Good job, keep on Chooglin.
Another classic to experience by CCR ua-cam.com/video/s5lpI_hhur8/v-deo.html
Watch the film, definitely. It's crazy
It’s really hard to segment Pink Floyd songs because they all blend together
Great reaction, young man! As others have said this is a concept album, and really must be listened to from start to finish. Individual songs can stand up but lose their poignancy in the overall flow. Many PF albums in the 70s are concept albums, but The Wall is a true artistic masterpiece from Roger and his mates. Not only from the concept, but the musical components as well. Have fun!!
“But without waffling, let’s get on with it”. My god that’s a refreshing change from the usual “without further ado” bulls**t.
Let’s make Without Waffling the new intro 👊🏻
now do the 1980 live version, david does a double solo in it epicness
It's all about the lyrics on this one
Great reaction. Mother is an interesting song. Please check out ASTRONOMY DOMINE live in 1969 (from the Ummagumma album). Also, RUN LIKE HELL from The Pulse Concert, Earls Court, London.
what a way to start my day
👀 you do your 'daily' Pink Floyd
thank you MollyBoy !
❤️
Masterpiece
This is an album to get stoned and turn down the lights, and listen to start to finish. Trust me😯
I highly recommend Pink Floyd the wall the movie
I love this song. I love this whole album. The Wall more than any other Pink Floyd album is hard to understand without hearing the whole thing. Of course you can listen to it any way you wish, and I don't always listen to the whole album, and on the radio they'll play this song or Comfortably Numb or Hey You just by itself. Anyway, I'm very much enjoying your Pink Floyd journey.
Their songs have long intros that are designed to put you into a certain mental and emotional state so that when the song drops it takes you for a ride. It's like a roller coaster, the slow creep uphill and then the sudden downward whoosh! Pink Floyd's music is really complex and you'll likely find yourself noticing things each time you listen that you missed before. Even 40 years after first listening to their music I notice new things. 🤘🏽💗
To understand this album you really need to watch the movie. Roger Waters and David Gilmour trading off lead vocals on this one. Roger does the part of the son speaking, David does the part of the mother speaking to the child.
Mother should I build The Wall do you understand!!😊
Led Zeppelin does the same thing on songs like Stairway to Heaven, The Rain Song, start out slow and build up in intensity.
Its great to see young adults getting into what I listened to when growing up.and being 70 y.o. .No autotune or pitch correction.your heard what was played.did the hat bro ,
Pink Floyd's a good old classice acid/stoner rock. One of the all time greatest bands.
You need to think completely differently when you listen to Pink Floyd. They cannot be compared with any other rock band really. It’s a type of music that is best listened to on your own with no distractions going on around you. A lot of Floyd’s music is very emotional. When I first heard ‘Comfortably Numb’ way back in the 1970’s I cried my eyes out, so it was a good thing that I was on my own at the time, otherwise it would have been rather embarrassing to say the least!
Also, it’s worth noting that Pink Floyd never wrote any ‘up tempo’ songs and never wrote any love songs. They have a constant theme in a lot of their work with messages of empathy and tolerance to other human beings and you’ll pick those themes up more and more as you progress your way through their catalogue. Good luck if you decide to stick with them. If you do, then you have an amazing musical world awaiting you!
Hey brother, loving your content and your genuine reactions. Would love to see you react to High Hopes from the Pulse Concert. You’ll be glad!
As with the other comments about listening to the entire album another option afterwards is to watch the movie they made (though I have found it is quite tricky to find)
You need to watch “The Wall” you will really enjoy it and understand so much more!! Enjoy!!
Pink Floyd songs tell a story. The beginning of this particular song is from the perspective of a child. Then it moves forward to the perspective of a young man who's met a young woman. Then it goes forward to an even different perspective from there.
There are often multiple songs to the full story. You have to listen to the whole album!
Nice reaction man.
In this song, Roger Waters, sings the first part as the son, and David Gilmour, sings the second part as the Mother. "The Wall" double album released in 1979 is Concept album, it tells a story, the story of a tortured Rock Star named Pink, he has an overbearing, overprotective Mother, and abusive Teacher.
Pink feels separated from his fans, and over time he builds a metaphorical Wall around himself to insulate him from reality really.
And the death of his father in WW2, is all too much for Pink, he ends up going insane! (See Syd Barrett). Infact there are real life experiences in the story of "The Wall" from Roger Waters and Syd Barrett.
Waters had an issue with some fans being disrespectful and setting off fireworks at a 1977 Concert in Philidelphia, PA, US. Waters reprimanded the fans and actually spit/spat on one of themspoken
I was fortunate enough to get tickets to one of only six performances of "The Wall" World Tour in 1980, on the east coast of the USA at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island NY.
It was the most incredible performance of any kind I've ever seen in all my 67 years on this planet!
The spitting incident was Montreal in 1977, the idea for Comfortably Numb's lyrics was Philadelphia in 1977. That's where Roger had stomach cramps and needed an injection to be able to perform on stage that night.
Thanks for the correction, brain issue, lol.@@ianfortier6796
I'm glad UA-cam sent your channel my way, I enjoy your vibe and look forward to your musical journey. Subbed. - Old woman in Canada.
Hey. You should have went to High Hopes from Pulse tour. Also Take it Back. Learning to fly. I’m with you on this song Mother. Probably my least favorite of all of their music. Still ok to listen to but there is so much more. Money studio version and it’s good on the pulse tour as well. You’re doing a great job. Keep going. Trust me. Thanks for the reaction.
Full album to truly understand the 🧱 wall! Smoke a nice J first to understand Floyd!
Did you realize that Roger Waters was singing as the young man and David Gilmour was singing as the Mother?
Great reaction dude.
The problem with concept albums like this is that it's like reading chapters of a book in a random order and then trying to make sense of it.
The film "the wall" is worth a watch because you'll really understand the life journey of the character "Pink".
I will say that it may leave you feeling a bit depressed, but in the words of Ron Weasley "it's bloody brilliant".
Great reaction bro. I know you love you some Pink Floyd. Peace.
Echos is a great pink Floyd song you should listen to
this is the one. do the whole album and the film.
Check out the live version of this from the wall tour when Roger waters was wearing a white tshirt with the #1 on it.
Don't forget to watch the movie, Another Brick in The Wall
Molly boy you MUST WATCH THE MOVIE PINK FLOYD THE WALL
Vi que você aprendeu né,um solo é um solo,por isso se chama SOLO 😄😄 , e você acabou de ouvir a música mais linda sobre um relacionamento de mãe ( MOTHER ) e filho ( SON ) 👌👌
🙏🙏🙏🇧🇷
if you have not had the chance yet I would suggest that you watch pink Floyd movie "the wall 1982" make sure it's pink Floyd because there is another movie also call the wall it will explain a lot about this great album c.noel vancouver canada
As you get into their album stuff you'll notice that many of their songs are a slow build. Careful not to be prejudged because you're not necessarily going to know where they're going. Also, along with having one of the great vocalists and guitarists in rock, you also have one of the greatest lyricists in rock ... Rodger Waters who wrote 99% of The Wall (considered a masterpiece in conceptual rock), and who is also the band's bass player. So yeah, you might want to listen to what they have to say. This is not your run-of-the-mill sex drugs and rock and roll fare, this is real life commentary on the human experience. Big boy stuff. "The Wall" is a psychological double album inspired by the life of Roger Waters and the band's original leader who suffered a complete mental breakdown early on and was dropped from the band. Heavy stuff. "Comfortably Numb" is also off this same album.
Recommend "Wish You Were Here" studio version next.
(Avoid the bad fan-made video)
Have you done their song Wish You Were Here yet??
Couple of other suggestions for you
Bob Dylan Hurricane
The Jam , Down In The Tube Station At Midnight.
The Clash , London Calling or White Man In Hammersmith Palais.
The Rolling Stones,Paint It Black or Sympathy For The Devil 👍
Listen to the full album
Check out Pink Floyds Movie The Wall
You really need to listen to the whole album in order. It is British so some of the terms might be confusing if you are not used to them. It is the life of a man in a culture that oppresses individualism. It is based on the life of the lead singer, Syd Barrett, who was born in 46, so the events were likely referring to the Cold War and growing up with worries of a nuclear war as well an over protective mother and an oppressive public school system and then trying to cope with life as a musical... and the phases he goes through. Mother is pretty good, so is Comfortably Numb, but I think my favorite is Hey You. There is of course a movie that was made 3 years after the album was released, but I like the album better than the movie. To tell you the truth I do not care for any of their other songs much.
If you do listen to the album and like the idea of a story album like that you might try Queensrÿche's Operation Mindcrime that came out in 1988. I like their stuff back then. Rage For Order was pretty good, Operation Mind Crime is great, Empire is OK, and Promise Land has a couple of good songs (especially Someone Else followed by Lady Jane), but Operation Mindcrime is really good too. Sadly their later stuff was not as good and the band broke up in a pretty nasty way. Those are the two best "Rock Operas" and possibly the only ones ever made.
The final cut has a couple of fantastic songs, not now John and two suns in the sunset
You really need to listen to this album in its entirety from beginning to the end, and if you pay close attention it ends right where it began…….
Maybe time to try some Stevie Ray Vaughan. Listen to Texas Flood, live at El Mocambo.
This IS NOT a song that is meant to be heard by itself. It is important to hear it within the full story of the wall.
This album represents the life of their first singer, Cyd Barret, who sadly went insane and died alone in his anguish.
The song is showing you how much his overbearing mom had on the fears and paranoia that eventually pushed him into his state of mind as he got older. His trust issues. His lack of intimacy with woman.
It’s actually really, really sad.
If you want to hear emotion in vocals watch great gig in the sky LIVE, make your skin crawl lol
Pink Floyd-Dogs
Roger Waters is a true legend the original goats of the music industry
May I suggest that you always have the lyrics drawn up when reacting to Pink Floyd. Their lyrics are always deep and meaningful.
This song will slowly creep up on you and nest in your brain. I think it is possibly their very best, period.
Or Young Lust. Or Sheep.
Or Echoes.
Wish you were here pt 6-9....?
Oh hell... here we go again! I don't know!
I thought I'd drop off another suggestion for another legendary artist to give a listen, if interested. "Neil Young - Heart Of Gold (Live) [Harvest 50th Anniversary Edition] (Official Music Video)" (by the channel: neilyoungchannel) Neil is called the "Godfather of Grunge rock" Nice reaction, thanks so much for sharing (I'm a subscriber...peace out~)
Pink Floyd guitar solos can always be relied on to be extremely enjoyable but even for Floyd this hits different for me anyway, just a shame it’s over so soon..
You should watch the film as well .
It doesnt make too much sense to react separate songs from this album because The Wall is a story about the life of a fictional rock singer starting from his childhood untill he reaches maturity. Each song is a piece of this puzzle and makes full sense in the context and not so much outside of it.
Has nobody recommended “Dogs”, “Pigs”, or “Sheep” yet? Dig into the Animals album my friend. Your gonna love it
PF AND DIRE STRAITS...
Never interrupt a David Gilmore guitar solo
Você não vai se arrepender de escutar esse disco,uma dica escute também
THE FINAL CUT
Listen to the albums Dark Side of the Moon then the Wall then Watch the Movie the Wall to better under stand the story being told about Pink a Mythical Persons life also some of it is about problems between band members if you dig deep in the words
Pleas watch the movie at some point! It'll put the whole story together for you.
Are you from the UK if so, is Pink Floyd the wall I hit over there cause it is over here
Yeah I’m from the UK. It probably is considered a hit to the older generation but I’ve never heard anyone from my generation talk about it
Read the lyrics
Hi men, you need see the movie the wall
There's no rym or reason behind PF'S music oh wait its that & everything else u try to figure out. But don't waste ure time trying to figure it out first listen just kick back close ure eye's & enjoy the journey.
