Pink Floyd - The Wall movie was released in 1982 and is well worth watching in its entirety
It is indeed well worth watching! However, that's sadly easier said then done. It's nearly impossible to find on streaming services. And as far as physical media, it has only ever been officially released on VHS, Laserdisc and DVD. So many mediocre movies have been released on 4K UHD blu-ray but here we are in 2023 and we can't even get "Pink Floyd The Wall" on a HD one. I don't know if it's a rights thing or what but it makes me sad. Hopefully my cherished DVD will continue to work in the future.
Absolutely 😁👍
I was just about to comment that she should watch "The Wall". I would've suggested watching it with friends on acid like I did watching it for the first time. However in hind sight that's probably not a very good idea...lol...
Glad you reacted to this great song and for being so beautiful and great smile on your awesome channel.❤️😘🤗🤗🔥
It's on UA-cam right now. Not hard to find at all.
The poem that the teacher makes fun of the kid for writing are the lyrics to "Money", another great Floyd song you should check out 🙂
It's just like Ren mocking his own songs.
That teacher would be the main character in 'The Final Cut '
Probably the most instantly memorable bass-line of all time.
👍
Yep. You beat me to it
The entire album is a story. The Movie is good at explaining. It is an emotional wall that people end up building to protect themselves. And each negative thing that happens to us just adds another brick. Once your wall gets to high you will become unreachable until you break down your wall and expose yourself. It is a very deep concept.
Really like how well you stated your thoughts about the song
The album and movie "the wall" changed my life as a 13 year old kid. It literally changed my life forever. Of course, the psychedelics helped as well...
First you're listening to Pink Floyd on mushrooms, next thing you know you're listening to Porcupine Tree and dropping acid
Hard to really get the full story of any song off of The Wall album, the whole thing is one long narrative. (It's like reading one random chapter in a book). Would love to see you react to the whole album, it's a masterpiece, very emotional moments.
All that said, great reaction as always.
Facts!! It always gets me going that people don't realize The Wall in it's entirety is one story!
Look not every song in The Wall is a masterpiece worth listening to! Some are just average and some are even plain garbage! Not everyone can sit through the entire album of average songs, that are not worth paying attention to! Wish You Were Here and Animals are both much much better in that regard! But The Wall is kinda weak, except maybe 4 or 5 neat songs...
@@Summon256 it's true, song by song it's certainly not their best album, but "the wall" shouldn't be judged song by song, it's in its entirety that it rises to one of the greatest masterpieces, or perhaps the best concept album in rock history.
And by the way "comfortably numb" alone is worth a discography 🙂
@@emilianovicentini8755 No, it is;'t it's overrated as hell and definitely not as good as people claim it is! The live version of it made it tenfolds better because of that solo in the end, but without it it's a decent song at most...defenitely not a masterpiece people claimimng it to be! I don't even have it anywhere in my top-10 PF songs, let alone being the best one...
@@Summon256 mmm... my english is poor and i'm relying on google (apologies)... if you're talking about "comfortably numb" when i wrote "alone is worth a discography" i meant the discography of many other bands, not of Pink Floyd. "Comfortably numb" in the studio version is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, the live version, one of the top 3-5 for the reason you say. But these are personal tastes. I don't think it's overrated.
As for the album "the Wall", out of 26 tracks, perhaps 3 are to be considered excellent songs (Definitely "hey you" and "another brick in the wall part 2" as well as "Comfortably numb"), the others are divided between good (Run like hell for example) , average and simple intro, outro or moments of passage between one episode and another, functional to the story. And that's what I meant: "the wall" is a masterpiece as a whole, as a concept. Judging them song by song, at least half should be trashed. I hope I was clearer now 🙂
As a concept album, it's worth watching or listening to it in its entirety. It's vulnerable and demonstrates some of the best internalization of life experiences some people go through. It's not an easy watch, but it is cathartic.
Edit: This video is from the whole feature film, The Wall.
Watching the full movie is the only way to understand what is in this scene. Remember to have a good sense of Art cuz this movie gets pretty crazy
@Jeff Fredenburg Going through the stages of his life; the constant doubt and belittling that became his wall, then bringing it all down, after he recognizes that this incredible pressure was put upon him...
Oh man, I connected hard with this album in the late 90's when I was in high school. It was pretty much therapy, and a lesson in what not to do.
Concept album is another name for Opera
I agree with that, I still have the vinyl album, if you look at it, it's fully played, almost deteriorated by playing it over and over again. Good I have also the album on CD.
You have to watch the movie,even there other albums you have to listen from start to finish, Animals is great also shine on you crazy diamond
It's amazing how relevant this song is in current day😮
Leginkább nyugat európában, itt Magyarországon rendben vagyunk.
I'm 50, but I subscribe to few reaction channels for the learning and expanding of the younger generations that have no idea what has come before. This one is a standout Aileen😍. Young people have no understanding of what a "concept album", or a cohesive story in music is because algorithms HATE it. I see rays of hope every time I watch these videos hoping people will investigate further to understand how we got here. Watch "The Wall" Aileen, you will understand so much more(and no, you don't need drugs for it to make sense😂). The movie is the visual to the albums audio. Ground-breaking, mind-blowing, and anyone in power absolutely hated it.
seventeen here, can assure you young people know what a concept album is
@@martynaanna17 at least someone's listening🤗
Yea I've been poking around a bunch of different Reactors, and a lot are very similar. A small intro, they listen to the song, maybe stop once or twice, then a short outro with very little way of explaining how they felt about what they just heard. Aileen is one of a very small group that actually takes time to explain her actual thoughts and opinions on the song.
"HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR MEAT?"
One of my favourite lines ever 😂
" STAND STILL LADDY"!
Brings back memories of my uncle at the Sunday family lunch
Was confusing to my young American ears, because here pudding is a custard
I love the way they re-purposed that line from Charles Dickens.
Its a great line. then the video shows the kids falling into the meat grinder. Dark AF
The whole album was conceived as a "Rock Opera" and tells a story, but was intended to be listened too in its entirety.
Also, this is from the film, "Pink Floyd: The Wall" (1982), which is fantastic. I would highly recommend viewing it and the poem the young boy is writing in this video is actually the lyrics to their song "Money".
I was in high school when this came out. This became our anthem back in 70's. I do believe that because of this song a change took place in our generation , and yes, it really changed attitudes towards the same old same old education. We broke out and went our own ways. So Pink Floyd started something big. Your comments were Spot-On !!!!
Im from Australia & i see it basicly the same as you just said. Great days & great times.Makes now look a bit shit though hey m8 lol
"...a bit shit." Love it m8. @@chrisdaldy-rowe4978
Yet still majority buys shit that media and "authorities" selling and voting for the same faces. Appalling
This wasn’t released until the 80’s
@@carymisenar862it was released in 1979
Our generation was so lucky to have the bands we did. Pink was at the top.
We have Tool now. Lol. Just a joke. I love both bands. I know we wouldn't have the same music today if bands like Floyd didn't pioneer the way.
Back in the day when that song came out, it came with a lot of controversy teachers in particular didn’t care for it, so we would have to sing it a little louder at school the good days 😂
Critic Leonard Maltin described the film Pink Floyd's The Wall as the world's longest rock video, certainly the most depressing. As it is the story of a person's decent into madness and the Bricks that build the Wall between him and reality, depressing is appropriate. Great film. Great album, Great story.
Way better than what Nostalgia Critic did. Make a near 40 minute parody making fun of most of the songs, has the gall to release a album full of the songs he made into parody calling it a "love letter" even though in his parody of this song he has the line "Just grow a damn set of balls", then ends it with 5 second "review" saying he liked it fine, then called it a bit pretentious. 🙄After what he pulled, he has little right to call anything pretentious.
This hits me so hard it's unbelievable, as a child in the 70's I was renowned amongst the family for my singing, had perfect control from my diaphragm and pitch and tone control everyone thought I would be a singer until 1 day at community singing class I was told to be quiet as I was putting everyone else off and I have never been able to sing a note in tune since, every time I hear 'mares eh dotes ' it breaks my heart thinking about what could have been, nuff said!
Jesus mate that is rough. I'm sorry one of those sadists got their claws into you early.
Have you thought of just trying again now that you're older and see if you can get some pleasure out of it as a hobby? Or do you fear the revisiting of that trauma?
Whatever goes on, I feel for you.
@ Kennethcurtis I was in a band as a rhythm guitarist for 18 years. The singers name was Kenneth Shane Curtis. He was a bad ass on vocals and lead guitar. I feel like I came across your comment by divine intervention. Believe in yourself man. If you could do it then, you can do it now. Praying for you 🙏 you are the only one who can kill your dreams
@@larrysims7235 With a name like ' Shane ' I can imagine him being quick on the draw and a demon shredder . Thanks very much for your kind words and thoughts, they are truly appreciated although with prayers being such rare and precious things may I ask that you reserve yours for those who are truly in need and deserving of them as that will ensure that you are doing all 3 of us a sincere kindness, once again thank you very much, its truly appreciated.
One doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd, One experiences them.
This album came out in 79 I was fortunate to see this concert in October 1980. They played all 26 songs in order. Nothing from the early catalog. Please check out the Wall movie 🎥 from 1982. Or have a watch party 🥳. Great reaction!!! 👍
At that time, our class teacher invited the whole school class to the cinema at his own expense. I will never forget.
check out Rogers 2015 complete "wall" concert which won many worldwide wards. Sample. "in the flesh" on you tube. warning you will want to by it.
I saw them at Nassau Colliseum in 1980 as well. An amazing show I remember vividly to this day.
Public school is a mind control meat grinder for institution minds.
Is that concert available on the Internet?
Highest compliment to a musician is that they make you think more ❤
The entirety of Pink Floyds The Wall album is truly a complete masterpiece. A story so true to modern times. My fav sing has always been Comfortably Numb
This Video was taken from the movie that accompanied the ''The Wall album. The whole 'The Wall' project was always planned as an Album, a stage live show and a movie. The live show took place only at 4 locations around the world, because the stage with this long a high wall did not fit into most arenas at this time (1980-1981). You were able to experience it 7x in Los Angeles (USA), 5x New York (USA), 11x London (England) and 8x Dortmund (Germany). After the tour the movie was shown in cinemas all over the world. You will only be able to get the full meaning of the story after you listened to the album, watched the stage show and the movie. Roger Waters staged the show once again in Berlin 1990 after the Berlin Wall fell and all over the world between 2011 and 2013.
Fun fact, the guy in the picture at the end is Bob Geldof, singer of the Boomtown rats. They have a song called “I don’t like Mondays” written about an attempted school shooting. He also acted in the movie The Wall.
Geldof is more famous for live aid
Yep Geldof played Pink in The Wall
So powerful glad you saw the theme from the beginning. Almost brings tears to your eyes to think of the way children were stifled.
I grew up with Pink Floyd, both my parents were lucky enough to have seen them live. I was actually listening to this song in the car the other day and it's still so relevant. Both my kids have finished with school at 17 and 19 and with one of them being autistic and the other not being really academic, although he is intelligent enough, it's been blaringly obvious to me how much our education system is failing our kids.
mind control, very dark times, kids going to school all drugged up for no real need, taught "the narrative"
I first heard this song with my uncle. Pink Floyd is his favorite band. Great song. Korn did a good cover of this too.
Do yourself a favor and watch the movie, "The Wall".... the entire Pink Floyd album set to a visual narration of each song, front to back.
It flows and you will understand every song.
This album changed my concept of music and song writing.
We used to sing this on the school bus in the 80's…drove the teachers nuts 😊
The clips are from the movie "The Wall", Bob Geldoff as lead (try "I don't like Mondays from him"). Written by Pink Floyd. This contains multiple parts of "bricks in the wall" from the album.
Resonates with me as I grew up in the brutal bullying school regime of Britain back then.
What a fantastic song! It reminds me of my childhood when the wall fell in Germany. The song has been played many times. A piece of contemporary history in my head and heart!😍
Maybe the wall should have stayed considering your country alongside the UK are now at war again ( Germany) against Russia who again will beat the fascists from the west (Nato) 😢 peace and love from socialist Liverpool and may God protect Russia 🇷🇺
What I always thought about the portrayal of the school and the children, is as you said, the school just blends everything/everyone (like a meat grinder) into one homogenous blob and sends it out into the world, with the kids all wearing a similar mask to show them being stripped of any individuality or uniqueness. Just memorize what we teach you, don't think for yourself or outside the box, and become what we tell you to become.
Feels like you can still see that happening today.
Loved hearing the classmates of the London school who 40 years later met to discuss how great it was to be asked to do a Pink Floyd video back in the day.
The INFJ in you was loving the last part of the video. Do yourself a HUGE favor, and watch The Wall, and listen to the Entire Album The Wall. You won't regret it. 👍🏼✌🏼
This song was No1 in the UK for 8 weeks 79/80. the film came out 2 years later. They had many great albums but their 2 monster hits were the Wall and Dark side of the Moon, 2 very different albums, not many bands have 2 defining albums. Edit: For those who disagree. Dark Side 45m Wish You Were Here 20m Animals 12m The Wall 30m.
half right..4 monster albums...add Animals and wish you were here
Animals is always on their list of top albums. Always…..🤓
That movie is the Wall. And the poetry is from the song Money by Pink Floyd.
Amazing reaction and interpretation. The look in your eyes while you're watching the video and your facial expressions shows that you've really "felt" the song and its message. And I think the way you talked about it shows that you're incredibly intelligent.
Gotta watch the movie The Wall. It makes all the separate songs make sense.
This video was just a clip from the movie The Wall, directed by Alan Parker and the main role was played by Bob Geldolf of Boomtown Rats and he also did the Live Aid event that was INCREDIBLE!!
imagine being in the room when classics like these were born and realised in the studio.
easy to see why a classic is a classic.
This album was the backdrop to my entire teenage years :)
The antagonist “pink” after being eviscerated in front of the class by the teacher, felt so much anger, he fantasized the school being destroyed and the teacher burned alive. Just another brick in the wall.
Okay. So this is Part 2 which released as a Single as well. Even taken from the album in context, it helps to hear all three in order to enjoy the theme's evolution through life's experiences told in more detail from the rest of the recording. I can remember EXACTLY where I was when I first heard this:
The night of The WHO's concert tragedy in Cincinnati OH several of us were sitting, listening to WEBN whom was playing all four sides of The Wall in order. In between album sides we received reports from the 'Colosseum' about the injuries and deaths. Considering the mind altering elements we were experiencing, it was quite a night, forever etched.
Damn, that was a hell of an image. Wasn't born until the 80s, but I'm putting myself there thinking about it. Thanks, man. Seriously, I mean it.
you must listen to the entire album in order; It's an otherworldly experience!
The Wall is a movie and an album.
Pink Floyd is a masterpiece on so many levels……. You have to watch all the videos….
Pink Floyd's The Wall is a masterpiece.
No matter how many times I've watched it, there was something more than seemingly missed from times before.
Layers upon layers of emotions.
Sid Barrett was the inspiration behind Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Pink Floyd is at the top of my list of favorite bands. Seen them in concert and was awestruck by not only their performance but also their light effects and stage props.
Undoubtedly, their message was delivered and received.
Syd Barrett was the inspiration for Wish You Were Here. The Wall was inspired by Roger Waters experiences of growing up. His dad was killed in WWII.
@@ThePflcpsa I knew of "wish you were here" but than through word of mouth then, I also related "The Wall" to Syd and never thought to look further as I were around 15 and the information stuck. Thank you for this clarification.
I grew up with an education system like this, where the teachers mocked us and even slapping us if we did something wrong. Many years later, when the video was released, only then this song made sense to me. You see, Pink Floyd is kind of an acquired taste. You need to listen their message once, twice, three or more times to get the full depth of what they mean. As a teenager in the 80's I never cared much for the lyrics, if the rhythm was right, then I would like the music. Now, almost 60, I do appreciate music much more and better. Awesome that you picked straight away what was happening in the beginning. My dear Succubus, you have no idea of what you still have to discover, and not just this band we grew up with. Kind regards.
I’m a bit confused. While she is young and should not be faulted for her timing of birth, why do you feel the need to say dear succubus? And then…say best regards?
Disco was all you could hear on the radio in those days so Pink Floyd join the trend to get this message across, it worked, teenagers were dancing to this in dance studios along Blondie and Abba.
The 'Poetry' the teacher made fun of is actually some of the lyrics from Pink Floyd's song "Money"
You need to play the entire album. It is like an opera story. Also when I was a kid growing up, the teacher unions here in the US did not want radio stations to play this song.
Phenomenal reaction. You really got it. That meat grinder is such a good representation of "Into the meat grinder". Into the system like the rest. You should really watch Pink Floyd the Wall movie. It's the whole album put into one long music video and it's amazing.
You summarised that perfectly, The horns on your headphones are particularly appropriate - and ridiculously cute!
Your assessment of Floyd, even with the limited amount you've heard, is dead on. There is not another band I can think of who are better at making you `feel` what they're talking about. The music always seems to match the lyrical content flawlessly. So, you're right. Even if you didn't have the lyrics, you could still tell if it was sad, or angsty, or happy, or crazy, etc etc.
The Wall is a journey through madness with fantastic music to soundtrack it all.
I urge you to listen to the whole album,in your own time if you want,but after dark side and animals with such pressure to come up to that standard,they did it again.
Great album.
Great reaction, your analysis makes me understand the song better. Thank you!
Pink Floyd and Rush both wrote lyrics that are deep and have meanings other than to just rhyme.
i remember as a young kid before i even knew what school was, my dad used to play this movie all the time as background music around the house but i loved it, but this scene set my mindset toward school my whole life nd by matric i did my final english oral about how the education system fks with people nd just churns out obedient workers, obviously along the way i discovered other stuff like the comedian George Carlin nd a documentary series called zeitgeist that ultimately shaped my outlook even more.
there was a quote i used in my oral, i can't remember who said it but it was " for the first year of our lives we are taught to walk and talk, yet for the rest of our lives we are told to shut up and sit down ".
Oh yes, Aileen the Empath hits home! I wouldn’t say this is ahead of its time though. This issue, and many others are as old as time itself. For as far back as you want to go, there have been people seeking to rewrite history to further their agendas. It was bad in the 60’s and 70’s and this song was a reflection of that.
the wall is one of the most personal concept album of roger waters, it is complex and beautiful...Unfortunately many know only comfortably numb and forget many other incredible songs of the album as mother or hey you for example...
That part where the phone's ringing after the song goes into the next song called Mother.
How can you clame tobe a floyd fan and not see the Wall?!?!?! The wall was the second Floyd album i bought, of course Dark Side was the first. I remember when I was a manager at foot locker and a lady had her granddaughter'sChristmas list they wanted a certain pair of shoes and i saw that DSotM was on the list i told the lady if she gave me a minute i could go with her to the music store and that way she wouldn't even have look for it. I ended up getting DSotM for her and with a few questions I also picked out the wall and animals for her to give her grand daughter for Christmas I told her that they were the three most common album for a new Floyd fan to have. Her granddaughter came into the store wanting to ask me a million questions about Floyd.
The very first rock album I ever heard. I was in high school. Still love it. ICONIC
Hey Aileen - Your Pink Floyd reactions are so awesome! The movie 'The Wall' was amazing but it is a heavy watch! Check out 'Run Like Hell' next - you will absolutely love that track. Have a great week - thank you for all the amazing videos you do :) BTW please do more classic Iron Maiden!!!!!
Song Motto: An acre is the area of a rectangle, whose length is one furlong and whose width is one chain.
Back in the day when MTV still played music videos, this is the video they played by Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall. This was actually from the movie Pink Floyd The Wall
This entire album is 1 story, each song being part of it. The teacher is Scottish because Roger Waters' teacher was Scottish, and tells him his poetry is rubbish - it's the lyrics to "Money" from the Dark Side Of The Moon album, the 2nd best selling album of all time lol. This video is from the movie of the album, which is a great movie :)
I'm not sure if I would say Darkside is the number 2 selling album of all time since the top 2 are Eagles Greatest hits with 38 mil sales (38x Plat) and Michael Jackson Thriller at 34 mil sales (34x Plat) . . Darkside is #16 in sales at 15 mil (15x Plat) . Either way it is a great album . Personally my favorite is Wish you are here especially Shine on You Crazy Diamond (all parts)
First I just never apologize for expressing your feelings you experience with music. This is just the tip of the iceberg the movie The Wall is an epic story in visuals,music and incredible meaning well worth the time to watch. There is so much amazing music to be discovered I personally have loved music my entire life. My Playlist is so random but I have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to so many different genres of music over the years. The greatest thing about your videos is that you have a genuine love of music of all sorts. I really don't understand how someone can limit themselves to one genre with so many incredible artists out there.
Pink Floyd isn’t a band. It’s an experience.
I’m 65. I grew up with this. Like so many have said, you have to watch The Wall. I loved your review and reaction. You covered everything and showed that you get it. The Wall is simply a brilliant album. Another Pink Floyd album I would recommend is Animals. That album is mind blowing. It’s dark and angry. I think you’ll like it. Best wishes.
One of Pink Floyd's many masterpieces. Normally I'd say a live version is better but given the title I totally agree with the video as well.
The composition, text and production are brilliant and to the point, as is the guitar solo, how could it be otherwise, hey it's Pink Floyd, unmistakable. But what I also really like here is the choir that has been integrated, the voices, excellent contrast.
PS: If you ever want to watch Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms", I would recommend the video (black and white drawings) there as well.
Sorrow (the live version of course) from pink floyd is a song I think you'd really enjoy.
This is actually "the happiest days of our lives" and then "another brick in the wall part 2" and it's taken from the movie not the album.
The album doesn't have the movie bits in it, but like I'm sure so many have said the music as well as the album in its entirety is worth a listen.
It's a concept album so for a complete understanding it has to be given a listen.
The movie songs here and there are somewhat different and it even has an extra song ("what shall we do now") over the album.
And just for the record; you go girl follow your dream, so many of us just done what was convenient through necessity at the time (including myself).
this is part of their film "The Wall" ; you should check it out. Most Pink Floyd albums were designed to listen to the whole album in one go. The tracks often merge one into the next so that the outro from one is the intro into the next
Always a huge pleasure watching you react to music, Aileen. Insightful, elaborate, eloquent, compassionate, empathetic. I wonder if we could get you into listening to some stuff from New Model Army, particularly from their fantastic "Thunder and Consolation" album...
The wall keeps growing, and it's harder to knock down. I was 16 when this hit the charts in 79.
Pink Floyd along with Zeppelin Are The Big Two
2:19 the poem here is lyrics from the Pink Floyd song "Money" off the album "Dark Side of the Moon" which is one of the longest running albums in Top Music charts & amongst the highest selling albums of all times. What I love most about Pink Floyd albums are they are a single story told over a series of songs and need to be listened to in their entirety uninterrupted to the massage of the albums. Great band that my conservative upbring meant I didn't listen to it when it was released but a massive fan of today. "The Wall" has been made into a movie that is truly worth the watch. Adults to kids " Dream big but only our dreams"
The Wall record was made 1979, when I still was in school. I heard it and was blown away. It was first time I heard Pink Floyd (That I was aware of it) I became a teacher myself and had my 2nd grade play it live and the other classes (and parents) were wild. I've always said to "my" kids; you can do it, no matter what. Maybe it'll take a little time, but if you want it, you can do it.
The studio version is without all the talking, this is taken from the movie The Wall. Please watch it🙏🙏🙏
I was 13 in England at school, when this was massive, we already had that Anarchy of Punk but this was the first time as children from around the country, that we felt we had a voice, it was our Anthem, but society of parents & politicians tried to block it, as children we realised by word of mouth, if we bought the song to make it number one in the charts & keep it there, then they’d have to show it on TV & create panic & embarrassment etc for the Grown Ups & just like the video, we the children & our underground movement beat the establishment, they couldn’t silence Us, a Special Moment in Time, listen to Us children, We have a Voice!!! & All before social media & mobile phones ✊
The whole album and movie is about a fictional character named “Pink Floyd” or “pinky” that is Rock star that spirals into insanity and the opening song “in the flesh” says “is this not what you expected to see, if you want to find out what’s behind these cold eyes, you’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise” then the movie and songs shows how his life built one brick on top of the other till he had locked himself inside his own emotional and mental prison inside the wall. It’s an amazing masterpiece of work. Love it so much..PS the last song on the album ends with the beginning notes of the first song so it can literally be played in a loop with no ending, like the person is in a never ending loop of madness with no way out.
The Wall should be heard in its entirety.
Fun fact about this song, radio stations never edited out the "F" word at the end. After, "stand still Laddie!" a child faintly shouts, "eff off!" (not actually "eff") but radio always kept it rolling until after the heavy sigh. None of which is featured in this video however. It's so cool that you're one who feels the emotion in the music. Many reactors do not. I too get very emotional from a lot of music, Pink Floyd leads them all for me. I'm sure you know by now that The Wall is a concept album and Another Brick In the Wall Pt 2 is just a small part of it. You actually reacted to two songs, The Happiest Days of Our Lives typically precedes Another Brick In the Wall Pt 2, as done here then it transitions with the big scream. Also, there are three parts of Another Brick In the Wall as you'll discover if/when you check out the whole album. I was fourteen when this came out and it was the primary inspiration for me to become a bass player/vocalist in an amateur band, this was the song in the audition that landed me the gig. I remained an amateur because I sadly followed "the safe route" and became a Tech with health insurance, a pension and 401k. 😂 I encourage you to listen to the entire album in order, following along with the lyrics and then watch the movie.
Hands-down, the top five
How could not have seen the movie? The movie is the album. Genius.
Indeed, this song was well received when it came out. One of their most powerful. Thanks for your reaction.
YES!!!!! I would like this reaction fifty more times, if youtube would let me. Albums like this are why Pink Floyd has the fandom it does, the irony is that the kids that grew up loving this music became the ones crushing the dreams of the next generation.
It's a clip from the wall... Need to watch that movie
You’re amazing. I discovered you a few short days ago and I’m hooked. You appreciate music, art, creativity, and intellect. I love your analysis.
You have to listen to the complete live concert of The Wall played on top of the Berlin Wall in 1990 just as it was being torn down. It was pink Floyd with Sinead O'Connor, Cindi Lauper, And the scorpions. One of the greatest moments in Music history.
I don't know how many times I shed a tear to songs I've heard thousands of times thanks to your reactions and comments. This is clearly one of the best if not the best reaction channels I've seen and I've seen a lot. Exactly what you said about teachers / adults encouraging us to follow our dreams only to then ridicule us when we try. Spot on! I'm a bassist myself so I know exactly what you're talking about. Your intro / outro song is totally my jam and it would be cool to see you react to the band Windhand, maybe their song Diablerie or Orchard. Thanks for restoring some hope for humanity. Cheers!
The poem the teacher was reading is actually a song by Floyd called “Money”
I love seeing people connect with this music. I felt the same way about Pink Floyd when I was your age. Their music can mean so many things. I re-listen to their albums every few years and I always discover something new each time. Thank you for sharing your experience.
The Wall is one of the greatest music albums of all time, the album was done first and then the movie was done about 3 years later which this is what used to make the videos. Another Brick in the Wall has so much symbolism in this song. But the whole album is really about Roger Water's dealing with the death of his father and his life. If you haven't watch the whole movie I highly recommend it as each song has depth even to this day in 2024. I was 17 when I was introduced to Pink Floyd as being a big fan of Styx, I had a roommate who exposed me through The Division Bell, and from there it become it rabbit hole. Pink Floyd got a lot of flack in the 80's in part of the Satanic Panic along with Styx and other bands.
Us older people know all about this. This song has rung for days and days back in the days in our ears x rayed dissected and long passed just a memory of ours
Every PF album is actually meant to be listened to in one sitting, even though they were basically forced to write "radio friendly" material, like this song actually is. I would love to watch your reaction to their albums in their entirety. In the case of The Wall, just remember that there actual characters. It's not just one person. It's a story. All their albums are.
What a great, authentic review of the song and music video.
If no body has mentioned... When they do this live, usually towards the end of the show, they build a brick wall on the stage until you can't see them and then it breaks down at the end.
Best Concert of all time. I I was at the concert at the Hockenheimring on 08/13/1994, and am still reminiscing about it today. AND NOT A SINGLE FUCKING CELL PHONE!!!
"I've got a little black book with my poems in" is from "Nobody Home", the next song on the record.
Hi InnaMusic !
I saw Pink Floyd 3 times and this show in Montreal. In a stadium of 60,000 people. When the mirror ball appeared, millions of stars filled the whole stadium. It was majestic. But a little information about the guitarist, David Gilmour, his dauhter-in-law is Ukrainian. I really like your video reactions. Take care.
Love your passion - As I've said before I adore Pink Floyd, so glad you're seeing/listening to it
