      Back in the 80s at high school in New Zealand I daily struggled with bullies. My strategy usually was to avoid them or run away, never to stick up for myself. Finally one day I completely lost it, turning on a guy and hitting him with everything I had. Unfortunately I broke my wrist, hitting him the wrong way but I had knocked him down before the teacher broke it up.
      Later, in my thirties the guy reached out to me online. We became friends and he somewhat apologised to me, which I greatly appreciate.

    Read the story behind The Wall album. The wall is a metaphorical wall that Pink, a rock star, has built around himself. His school days (that was him in school as a child) was but one brick in that wall, his father dying in WW2 was another brick, his mother, another. Listen to the entire album and it will all begin to make sense. Don't be distracted by the video, listen to the music. After hearing the album, watch the movie, The Wall.

      Cape Town is on the right track but off a little. Pink, after he is a rock star, has a mental collapse and builds a wall inside his mind shutting out reality and everything around him. An overbearing school teacher at an ultra conservative school was just another brick in the wall helping him slip out of reality. This story intertwines the life experiences of Roger Waters as a child and Syd Barrett as a rock star concluding Syd's permanent slip from reality

    This video is from their 1982 film The Wall: Movie which is a film adaptation of their 1979 album The Wall which tells the story about a character named Pink who isolates himself away from the world after it treats him poorly. His father died in WWII, he was physically abused in school (shown in this song), his mother was very overprotective and sheltered him, and later, his wife would have an affair after he became a big rock star.
    Up until the 1990s, Teachers were allowed to physically discipline their students. Bassist Roger Waters hated school because of this and wrote this song about it.

When my parents decided to home school me for a year I came back several years ahead in multiple subjects. They used the books that were meant for my grade so it's kind of pathetic. I remember getting every question wrong because I used long division instead of remainders. There were no instructions saying to use remainders. My brother taught me multiplication and division in 2nd grade. All we did in school was read Hatchet 900 times. The only things I really remember of use that I learned in public school were typing skills, woodworking skills, and basic music notation. I don't think they even teach any of that anymore.

But in the movie, it goes from "Another Brick in the Wall pt. 1" to "When the Tigers Broke Free" (which wasn't even part of the same album) to "Goodbye Blue Sky" to "Happiest Days of Our Lives" to "Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2" to "Mother", and so on. And "Hey You" is cut out entirely. I still don't understand why they changed the order.

    The Wall is the eleventh studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released 30 November 1979 on Harvest and Columbia Records. It is a rock opera that explores Pink, a jaded rockstar whose "wall" represents his eventual self-imposed isolation from society. The album was a commercial success, topping the US charts for 15 weeks, and reaching number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the finest albums of all time.

    "The Wall" is referring to a "defensive shield" that a person can develop emotionally, depending on various circumstances and experiences in one's life.
    That's the storyline to this whole album (and of course the movie), it's about a Rock Star, and especially the various things throughout his life that contributed to his "building a wall", which negatively affects his relationships, and mental stability later in life. That is all exacerbated by the "Rock Star" life, with all the constant B.S. and pressure etc.(and drugs).

    The teacher said, "absolutely rubbish laddie, get on with your work". I don't know what you thought he said. This was scene from 1982 movie "Pink Floyd: The Wall" a rock opera musical based on their album of the same name. The whole scene with the kids burning down the building and before was all in the boy's head and not real. You can feel free to check out the movie, although the full movie may not youtube anymore it is on vimeo.

    This song was popular when I was in high school. Not sure how things were in the continental US, but we lived in Europe(military) and lived under the very real threat of nuclear war on a daily basis. East and West Germany were still divided and the USSR was a huge threat. There was also the indoctrination in school, much like today, and free thought that went against the grain was not really tolerated. This music spoke to a generation loudly. It's good you take the time to listen and think about what the music, lyrics and visuals are conveying.

    This song started the education systems to take a hard look at themselves and how they were treating kids. I remember my second to last year of high school being the last year they were allowed to use the cane on kids. We used to hear the boys (it was ALWAYS the boys 😂😢) screaming in pain, outside the Principal's office window. It made us hate the Principal and the teachers. To think that this was standard school practice not that long ago 😳

    There was a LOT of drugs and free love and slipping off mentally to a whole new level of thoughts and imagination point in time and the music reflects that!
    Pink Floyd Always had a very deep meaning to every song they wrote! Strangely enough it rings true today more than ever

    Great reaction! This song is all about Pink building a metaphysical wall around himself, the abuse by his teachers bricks in his wall. You should really check out "Hey You" from later on The Wall, it's where Pink tries to break free from his self-imposed prison. You'll really like that track, it's deep and rocks.

    While Another Brick in the Wall does stand as a song on its own, the video is actually a clip from the feature length film "The Wall". in fact this song is not actually "Another Brick in the Wall" it is "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" - This part pertains to Pink's (the main character) time at school.
    The lyrics to "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1" which is talking about how Pink's father died during WW2, and basically how Pink was lacking a father figure, in other songs it is revealed he had a very over protective mother.
    Daddy's flown across the ocean,
    Leaving just a memory
    A snapshot in the family album
    Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
    Daddy, What d'ya leave behind for me?
    All in all, it was just a brick in the wall.
    All in all, it was all just bricks in the wall.
    "Another Brick in the wall Part 3" - As an adult as Pink has become a famous rock star, but his life is falling further and further apart, he has discovered his wife has been cheating on him, this pushes him to the final stages of creating his metaphorical wall built out of personal traumas.
    I don't need no arms around me
    And I don't need no drugs to calm me
    I have seen the writing on the wall
    Don't think I need anything at all
    No, don't think I'll need anything at all
    All in all, it was just bricks in the wall
    All in all, you were just bricks in the wall
    I would recommend watching the film the wall, it has some spectacular (and disturbing) animation sequences, brilliant music, and what I consider to be one of the best warnings about fascism and nationalistic rhetoric ever made..

    The beautiful thing about music is that it is open to interpretation. This song has been out since 1982 and I never thought about your analogy of the children being bricks in the wall but that is excellent! Like other Pink Floyd albums, this whole album is an experience. The "Wall" in this one is actually a mental wall that is built between the writer and the outside world. There are 3 versions of this song on the album. I am not going to give anything else away because I am requesting now that you review the whole album. You will be glad you did. I was a teen in the '80s and although Dark Side of the Moon was technically more popular, I like The Wall better.

    You are hearing things. I think I know what. It’s NOT what you think! It’s the accent that got you. He’s asking a question about an acre. It’s a size measurement of land. Basically he’s setting up a math problem. Not racist! Ha ha! PINK FLOYD would never do that. You’re going to have to wait till a certain Guns and Roses song for that! Just so you know GnR’s guitarist Slash is mixed. Calm down, this ain’t rap. 👊

    That moment where the message connects... priceless. And the moment of horrified confusion--you have to get past the teacher's English accent--he's giving the mathematical definition of "an acre" like a unit of land measurement.
    To clear up confusion about the end with the telephone--"The Wall" was a 1979 album and a 1981 feature film, written by the band (primarily the bass player). It's a semi-autobiographical story about the band and the existential barrier or "wall" that the artist builds between himself and the rest of the world. Many incidents and factors are components or "bricks" in the wall, from losing a parent to war early, an overprotective mother, overbearing teachers and school systems, and later dependencies on alcohol and drugs. The movie alternates between live-action and animation and skips forward and back in time from the artist in a hotel room before a show to memories of his past from young childhood to earlier in his adulthood.

    Ok, I’m gonna just tell you on this one. Another brick in the wall is a metaphor for building up a wall of self preservation around yourself. All these smaller, different things he experiences are just more reasons to cut himself off and put up a guard against the world to avoid his personal pain. Another brick in his wall.
