In order to understand the combination of these songs, you really need to listen to the whole album from start to finish. These songs were written by men who were born soon after WWII. They talk about the trauma of losing a parent, growing up in a post war Britain and the struggles of the youth to find themselves amidst a changing society, drugs, sexual freedom and governmental control. Just listening to one individual song at a time limits your understanding. Needless to say this is a classic song from a classic album.
Plus the UK schools were brutal.
Yeah I agree.
The entire album is a concept..it tells a complicated story. Syd Barrett's influence is still evident, in my opinion. Born 1960, one of my favorite bands.
Being in high school in the 70,s..loved pink floyd..relevant to this day..amazing
"We don't need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the classroom...." Getting comfy on a quiet evening and listening to this entire album is quite an experience that's well worth having.
I love your reactions! You are one of those people who smile with your entire face, it's great. This is a great song, brings back memories. Keep 'em coming 😎
Love his smile
Everything was about structure. Don't step out of line and break down the norm. You are "just another brick in the wall". All nice and neat, with no choices, no expression of difference. As a baby ,I don't know of any others who don't remember parents telling them if they don't finish their dinner they can't have any dessert, so remember "if you don't eat your meat you can't have any pudding " I smile whenever I hear them sing that. Makes you wonder what they would think about people having their own ideas today ?
Couple of side notes.
Seen them 12 times.
Lucky.
Also, the children's choir you hear was from down the street from the studio.
The school said NOPE!!!
So, they sent a school bus to pick them up for a "field trip".
Brought them to the studio.
THEY KILLED IT!!
When played LIVE, they got students from a local school to come on stage and sing this.
Got to see them once at the VET in Philly (mid/late 80's I believe). I'm pretty sure they only played three venues in the US that tour (Chicago and LA I think). Large model plane flew toward stage on a wire. Crowd was age 8 to 80, amazing atmosphere. Smoking materials went from one end of the row to the other, reusables were refilled when necessary and continued on down the row. It was the best concert ever for me.
@VloggingWithGreg Many of Pink Floyds' lyrics are about two major themes: Roger Waters' childhood trauma and the loss of founding member Syd Barret to drug induced schizophrenia. This song is about Roger Waters' childhood trauma from school. This album is a combination of the two dominant themes in Floyd's lyrics. Watching the associated movie will help the album make sense. The childhood scenes are of Waters' trauma, but the scenes of the fictional rock star, Pink, are about Syd's descent into madness. The bricks in the wall are each event that built an emotional wall around the character Pink, and the real individuals Roger and Syd.
Now, about the recording of the song. The band was about albums, not hits. Management and Producers were pressuring them to come up with a disco hit (towards the end of the disco era), and the band was trying to appease their overlords while maintaining their integrity. Guitarist David Gilmour went to a near by club to check out the disco music. He came back to the studio and laid down the guitar track in one take. The kids choir was from a school not far from the studio, but they were not paid. Some have been compensated but nowhere close to a fair percentage of what the song has earned.
This came out when I was in highschool and was played at just about everyone's graduation party
“If you don’t eat your meat…you can’t have any pudding!”
Think about it:
How do we train animals to do what we want? Food rewards.
Yep. How can you have the good stuff if you don't let us feed your mind
This song reminds me of Supertramp’s ‘School’ - not the sound but the idea & the influences of band members having a British background & feeling the same way about the school system in the 50’s, 60’s - how restrictive, repressive & how much it sucked for the changing times!
Its called indoctrination! PF way ahead of their time! Best band ever!!
It's about building a wall around yourself. Each bad experience was another brick.
I think "the Wall" metaphor can have 2 meanings: society builds walls to protect itself from nonconformists; and people in general, but especially nonconformists, build walls to protect themselves from society's disapproval.
Pink floyd 1 of my favourite bands
It meant that the kids were tired of having their individuality crushed by teachers and the adminstration, it came out when the punk rockers, hip hop ect was on the rise.
For the full impact you need to see the full video/album deep dark stuff !
Agreed
In the context of the whole album, the first half of the album the protagonist builds a wall around himself. Think of it like depression. The second half of the album he breaks down the wall. This song is about his educational upbringing. All his experiences are a brick in the wall. 👍
In my 70's and singing every word of this, the video to it was amazing .. love Pink Floyd and the words to this still have the same thought provoking vibes today, Love from UK as usual Greg
LOVE PINK FLOYD!!! My favorite is Mother!!!
I love that a few of your guys are reacting to older music fun my Era :)
Great pick for a Friday night ❤
If you ever get a chance, you should watch the move The Wall. It's the whole album start to finish done as a movie. The nuances in the songs make a lot more sense when you experience them as a whole story.
You have to listen to all the album, it's a story. All Floyd's albums should be heard in their entirety.
This alubm was released in November of 1979, Greg. Almost fifty years old!! It came out at a time when greed just sprung up and out of the marshes and the world was overrun with selfishness, lust and violence for power.
People were also waking up to reality. The lies our governments were telling and had been telling for eons. the kids were fed up. WE were fed up. Gilmore and Waters spoke for all of us. Dave Gilmour's guitar has always been very tasteful, very selective and careful. He doesn't rely on flash and keyboard pyrotechnics to get his message across. And, he does always have a message he is telling. He's a poet in the truest sense of the word. If you can't tell them the truth, baffle 'em with bullshit. That was a saying became popular in those days. And, Gilmour NEVER sacrificed the truth for bullshit guitar work. as a true poet, the selection and placement of notes and frequencies were always more important than the speed of delivery and the volume of the speakers.
there are only two guitars I have ever called poets, and Gilmour is one. the other is SRV. Two very different styles, but neither of them were show-offs at the core. even though Stevie was a pyrotechnics wiz on the fretboard, if you stop and listen and contemplate his music, the notes spoke to Stevie from the unseen world. They were poetic before they hit his strings. Stevie was a channeler. Gilmour was as well. they both exhibited an openness to music and poetry and beauty that folks like Malmstien and Van Halen could never reach. They are not show-offs at heart. They were/are poets. RIP Stevie. Blessings to you, David. Long live your axe.
*correction: FRETboard pyrotechnics. David needs no FRETBOARD pyrotechnics.
You can’t listen to Pink Floyd without smoking a joint first.
And bro…
You look like a handsome Eddie Murphy!
Truth. Listening to this album while smoking a fatty 👍
I’m 71 years old and I approve this message
@@Sweetrose333I’m 67 and approve it too!
My brother had a van with their logo painted on it. We survived.
My mom worked in surgery. Their favorite thing to listen to while working was Pink Floyd's album Dark Side of the Moon.
Back when the writer(s) of this song were in school, most of academia in the US and Western Europe was controlled by the ultra-conservative. I doubt they had any idea that it would swing the other way so extremely. Peace, Love!!
Not correct as far as the UK goes they did enforce discipline with corporal punishment the schooling was not ultra conservative though might have been in the US in certain states.
This song was everyone senior song for a few years.
And still the best concert I have ever been to. Division Bell tour. I also saw Roger Waters on the Amused to Death tour. I love that album. Not very well known. Completely under appreciated album.
Love The Floyd. Oh my yes❤❤❤
Good day.....If you liked the song, check out the film (Pink Floyd: The Wall) 1982
Yes!!
Great reaction Greg! I agree with others, you need to listen to the entire album to really understand it. A lot of us are very tired of this wishy washy "woke" nonsense. Trouble is a lot of those feeding it out are of the "you make your own truth" school of thought. My reply to them is what Colonel Jessup said in A Few Good Men "You can't handle the truth!"
I agree with EGSimon, It would be best a get comfortable, turn your phone off, layback, relax with your headphones on, and listen to the entire album from start to finish, the songs blend into one another, All their albums are that way, Something that you might really enjoy, is checking out their 1994 Pulse concert in entirety, get the visuals with the music, I'm sure you will enjoy any Pink Floyd you choose, See how far the Pink Floyd rabbit hole goes, it's an awesome journey my Friend. God Bless.
I’m subscribing cause you genuinely open to the music
Yes!!! Just another indoctrination
Regardless of the fact it was another time and place that this song represents, it’s the brilliance of Pink Floyd - and what sets them apart from any other band, ever, is that it’s still relevant to today. A lot of their songs are. I don’t know all of them. Your interpretation was spot on to how it is.
I love this song!! My favorite album by Pink Floyd is Division Bell. You should listen to "High Hopes" and "What Do You Want From Me"
That's the Late Great Comedian Gilbert Godfrey at the end that says, if you don't eat your meat, you can't have any Pudding
The thing about Pink Floyd, no matter how many times you listen, you still hear or feel something different every single time. And as someone else said, it’s still relevant, not dated
The video is brutal but brilliant. A must see for a man with your sensitivities.
Check out Dire Straits. They are a British Rock band from the 70's and 80's. I think you would really like Sultans of Swing, but be sure to watch the Alchemy Live version. The guitar solo is like no other. The song is about ducking into an English Pub during a rain storm and hearing a good jazz band named The Sultans of Swing.
If you like sports, watch the official music video of Walk of Life. The song talks about struggles of a young musician playing in the subway tunnels in London and the video uses sports bloopers and subsequent wins to show you have to go through bumps in the road when you're doing the "walk of life". The song and video are both fun. Warning: The music is very catchy and will live in your head for a while and you may spontaneously blurt out, "Woohoo!"
Money for Nothing, the official music video, gets its lyrics from an actual conversation that some delivery men had while watching MTV on the wall of televisions in an appliance store. They were watching and bashing the musicians because they get their "money for nothing" while they themselves have to work hard for minimum wage. The song/video was featured on MTV in its infancy and it was the very first song ever played on the British version of MTV. It won a grammy.
Telegraph Road, Alchemy Live version, was written when the band was touring in Michigan and driving down Telegraph Road - highway 24, which runs eighty miles north and south along the border of Detroit. It really is about the evolution of Detroit but it could describe any other run down large city. I live in Michigan and used to drive Telegraph Road every day to work. That drive was more stressful than my job. I am so glad to be done with that commute.
Brothers in Arms is about a dying soldier in the battle field during the Falklands war (between the UK and Argentina). The song is sad but it sends a message. The music is hauntingly beautiful. Like Telegraph Road could apply to other large cities, this song, Brothers in Arms, could be applied to any war.
The thing that is best about this band is that its members always put on a good show and they are all amazing musicians. They are laid back, no huge fanfare and they enjoy what they do. Good music and pure talent. Check them out, you won't regret it.
I’ve known this song my whole life and tonight you made me see the euphemism of the brick in the wall in a whole different way. Because I know the story, I know that the bricks in the wall are bricks of trauma that Pink has built up around himself throughout his life, but tonight you made me realize the bricks are also what society and family and school and pressure from life tries to mold you into, a brick that just fits into the wall. Man. Maaaaan……..
I just found you and I'm trying to catch up. I absolutely have enjoyed watching you. I love watching you be-bop to the music. You are having a very good time listening to music. You were definitely so cute watching Carol Burnett and Tim Conway.
Pink Floyd, Animals album. Say no more👍
New favourite you tuber. Love watching you find new music I've grown up with. I'm so glad you like it. Music is like football in the uk, doesn't matter where your from or what you look like, music crosses barriers and borders- especially good music.
This song 50 years old at least. Its about kids in east Germany. Fitting thst it applies to us now. Kids in schools, please teach your kids at home
Its about Rogers experience in school in the 1950's nothing to do with Germany get your facts right
Love watching your reactions to the music I grew up listening to.
Don't mean to be creepy here... but, I gotta say... you are goodlooking. Hope this doesn't embarrass you!
We knew then but for years it’s just got worse and worse and now you have people like Oliver Anthony calling out what needs to be sad and done. We need more.
This album was 🔥🔥You definitely should listen to the entire album from start to finish
Greg, would you consider doing a reaction to Procol Harum singing A Whiter Shade of Pale. I believe you would enjoy it.
I remember when the song came out. I couldn't hear it enough. Love pink floyd.
They are Talking about conformity think for yourself❤❤
Dang Greg, first time ive caught a current video, love your stuff,
This an old one, im old😂
You have to see the video to really get the song
Because of you Greg I have listened to this song for what it is meant to be. Education today is indoctrination.
Its from 1979 and references rogers schooling in the 50's when schooling taught by repetitive learning not teaching you to think for your self.
The final cut is the best album to listen to
You are great! Don't change 😊
The guy who said listen to the whole thing is dead on right. I would go one step farther and say watch the movie.
The wall is a mental/psychological wall in one’s mind.
i'm also here for your smile
At 0:50 an animated hammer hits your like button. In the movie The Wall, animated hammers were feature throughout in the film. For s second, I thought your animated hammer was from the film.
🤘🏽⚜️🤘🏽
Hay my name is Penny, I am using my husband's account. In 1984 we wanted to get this song as my class song. But we got turned down.
You need to watch the video.
Should WATCH the original video PF made for this song ... brings it all into focus!
👍👍💯❤️🔥🔥
Originally released In 1979
No way around it , you must listen to the album start to finish, to understand it .
it being a brick in the wall is talking about how shit just stacks up on you over time
It's about the mind control and manipulation in the school systems
Watch the video
No thought control. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
1979
You have to think government control this band knew this back than?
You should listen to pink Floyd's mother
Watch the movie
Look what is happening in schools today?
Greg, my man, you need some really good drugs to get Pink Floyd.
I though you were just some other dude sitting down and reacting to songs. But you are a trained historian. Wow, I'm impressed!
Seriously, if you claim they change history and you have nothing to prove it, you may as well shut uip. At leasst you wouldn't look like a fool.
Talking about indoctrination..
And, I will add that I believe what you are listening to was recorded 50 years ago. I don’t know exactly. Someone here will know.
Another brick in the wall refers to one more thing that drives you to despair so as Life goes by the wall you build around yourself gets higher with no way out 👍🏻✌🏻🏴🇬🇧
Originally released In 1979
