The Wall is a MASTERPIECE that must be listened to in one sitting. I would highly recommend that you have the lyrics drawn up so as to fully understand what it's all about.
@@capetowntrikeman the final cut is underrated too. I see it as an extension of the wall. also about loss and the war. Roger waters again. losing his dad is in nearly every song he writes. it brought him some success from a troubled past.
Pink floyd , will guide you to a spiritual level you never knew you had. It will make you cry , make happtyand sad . Its will touch you in the most magical darkest, beautiful way all at once. My all time favorite love. Pink floyd.❤❤❤
Nick Mason on the drums is always spectacular. And i agree, this album is a Rock Opera and should be listened to completely. But, in your own time.❤❤ Somehow UA-cam subbed me again.
I couldn't wait for the album to show up at our local store. Bought it right away and ran to my friends house to play it. We understood the music right away and were seriously moved. That same feeling comes right back when I listen to The Wall today. I need to put the album on my old turntable and listen again start to finish. And call my old friends.
The central idea of the album (The Wall) is that; “Building a wall around in order to protect yourself from the trials of life, will not solve anything, you will only decay”. What's the point of shouting "Hey You", if your WALL prevents others from hearing you.
@@izbo10I think those lyrics at the end are the toughest to sing without getting emotional in all of rock. That last guitar solo seems to symbolize growing desperation that brings one to tears.
Hi, I'm from Mexico and I grew up listening to this wonderful music. I suggest you react to the videos of the Electric Light Orchestra. They, like the Bee Gees, are my favorites. They are very talented and I love them.
When Dark Side of the Moon transformed Pibk Floyd from a cult band to an arena band. Waters began to feel he was no longer connected to his fans, almost like there was a wall separating them. He decided that during the concert they would actually build a physical wall on stage, with all the bricks representing events in his life. The movie, which came after the album, has an additional song explaining how his father was killed in combat during WWII.
Nice reaction. This is definitely a top ten Pink Floyd song. David's silky voice and guitar work, Nick's exquisite drum work, Roger's agonizing vocals in the second half of the piece-----all add up to a sonic orgasm for the ears..... When you get a chance, dip into some early Floyd: try Fat Old Sun (audio). I think you'll really like it.
Hey You is about a man who spent his entire life building a wall of emotional isolation, brick by brick, until he finds himself completely cut off from the world around him, unable to communicate with anyone. He is now trying to break free, but his wall is too high and too strong. In the movie, this is shown as the title character sitting motionless in a catatonic state.
When this came out I would listen to this front to back with headphones LOUD. The Movie is a MUST watch for you now if you want the entire story. (You won't need drugs but it won't hurt) Happy belated 4/20+
AFAIK after some point every Pink Floyd album was specifically recorded to be listened to from beginning to end. Singles were never really their thing after "See Emily Play" or so.
The Wall album consists of two parts. Patr 1 deals with the building of the mental wall, and ends with the song "Goodbye Cruel World", where the protagonist of the story decides to isolate himself behind the wall. The song "Hey You", is the first song of Part 2 of the album, where the protagonist is already isolated behind the wall and tries to communicate to the outside world, but fails.
Everyone says the Comfortably Numb solo is the best, but I think Hey You is better. The way Gilmour can create solos and gradually build tension is a masterclass, there’s nobody like him.
I love the way that the lead guitar seems to start off in the background, it blends with the instrumentation and then comes through to the fore with such powerful, haunting long chords. Just beautiful.
I could see the moment you started to become emotional - always a hazard of listening to PF. I'm glad their music touches you. It has me for 50+ years.
Oh, Olavity... great reaction!! As you know, PF is a fountain of nice songs... By the way, what are the name of yours cats (I saw two... ). Greetings from Santiago from Chile.
There's a movie The Wall, as well, and it was a big deal when all this came out. It had a few radio friendly songs like Another Brick in the Wall and Comfortably Numb, which are still popular. I haven't seen a real good live version of this song. I don't know if it's on the Pulse production, but anything I have seen from that is excellent.
You should really watch the movie by the same title, "The Wall," which tells the story of Pink, a fictional rock star character, who becomes increasingly unhappy with his life. After his fathers death, killed in World War II, and his mothers overbearing protection, he began to imagine building a metaphorical wall to isolate himself from the world and life's disappointments.This wall continues with every traumatic experience, such as mistreatment at school and, eventually, strain in his marriage. "Hey You” occurs when Pink learns that his wife is having an affair. Distraught, he lays his final bricks in the emotional and mental wall he has built. The song tells us about the completion of the wall he has built against the world. However, he finds that he is terrified of his isolation once the wall is built. Frightened of being cut off from the rest of the world, he suddenly panics and tries to break the barrier down. Desperately, he tries to call out to the people outside, but they can’t hear him. Finally, he gives up and gives into the mental decay of his isolation. The final line, "And the worms ate into his brain," suggests that Pink is giving in to death, comparing the “mental death” of cutting oneself off from the world and a surreal descent into Pink’s madness. But the story doesn't end here. After you listen to the whole album in sequential order, watch the movie for a clearer appreciation of the album. Reaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Song choice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PS: A significant part of the inspiration for The Wall was Pink Floyd’s reaction to increasingly bored fans. The band members perceived that fans were no longer interested in the deeper meaning of their songs; thus, they wanted to challenge them to shake off their mental “decay” and experience the music on a deeper level.
No, Hey You is Pink calling out from behind The Wall after final bricks have been laid. Verse 1 is Pink trying to connect with his fans, verse 2 is Pink calling out to his estranged wife, and verse 3 is Pink trying to reconcile with the other half of himself to break free of his self-imposed isolation as he's had a flash of realization that he's made a mistake. The end of Young Lust is the point where Pink finds out about his wife's infidelity.
The best thing you can do for yourself, is to do a video for each "record side" of this album. There are 4 record sides to this double vinyl album. Listening to it that way, at least the first time, is the way it was meant to be.
Is hard to believe that this masterpiece of a song was left off "The Wall" movie. Why? Also, the song "When The Tigers Broke Free", which appeared on "The Wall" movie, and was included on "The Final Cut" remastered/reissue album and not on the remastered/reissue of "The Wall" album. Who in the hell made this decisions?
This album is the soundtrack to a movie Pink Floyd made called The Wall. You should watch the movie instead of just listening to the album. It will give you more insight into the meaning of each song. The movie is a visual interpretation of the album with a lot of animation worked into it.
Indeed the movie was made based on the album. The concept album tells the story of a man isolating himself and getting isolated by a metaphorical wall. "Hey you", while open to interpretation as any good poem and song, is the protagonists call beyond this wall, trying to reach out.
brief info. This song is done in the middle of the concert as the "Wall ' has been built. "Pink" has isolated himself behind his "Wall". The only video of this that can be seen is their 1980 tour ,which are junk. The only other is Roger Waters 2015 "Wall" tour which can only be seen by buying. ( some poor bootleg videos exist) There is 1 video intro to the "Wall" but warning if you watch it you will want to see the rest. Love to see your reaction."In the flesh"?(live)[live from Roger Waters the Wall] ( digital Video) 4 minutes long
But it would be so reductive just to think of it like the pain of a breakup or a marriage. There is so much here and plus there's the larger context of the album overall. Hey You talks a lot about fighting depression and other forms of mental illness, but it does it brutally but also compassionately at the same time. And it's really well done because you've basically got the storyteller asking you something personally over and over again, getting your attention, and then the overall effect in the music and everything gives you the feels.
I'm sure I will not be the only one to tell you: The Wall needs to be listened to in it's entirety. And with no distractions. You will also need to see the film of the same name to try to understand it. Nice reaction though. Do more! By the way, you are lovely!
the album is a "concept" album - all the songs are related ....... basically, the father was killed in ww2 ... & the son was raised by a controlling mother .... "the wall" is a symbolism of the way she sheltered him from the world
No, the wall is metaphorical for a number of different things. Education, overbearing mother, failed relationships, death of father, etc. So it was basically a culmination of "bricks" that caused the wall.
The Worms are the Justice System eating into his sense of creative freedom. The "song" is actually almost 81 minutes in length, and each track on the vinyl/CD/file_folder is but a stanza therein
most of the wall is about Roger waters and the loss of his dad in the war, bring away from loved ones and not getting the love back you want or need. I feel that with my kids.
The Wall album and movie are probably some of the most depressing works of art in human history. This does not mean they should be avoided. Depression and social isolation are a very real human emotions and circumstances. They should be explored and experienced in order to empathize with those going through such bad times. PF does not really offer a solution, only a diagnosis of the traumatic human condition. But the main message is that you are not going through it alone. Everyone has made the same depressing journey. The band, The Police made a similar song called "Message In a Bottle". (The 1982 live solo version by Sting gets the message across much better) where the singer complains of being alone and desperately sends out a message in a bottle asking for help, only to find a hundred billion bottles containing the very same message seeking help. BTW Pink Floyd recorded an additional song for the movie. Its called, "When the Tigers Broke Free". A very personal song from Roger Waters about his Army dad's death in WWII. I think it was added as a bonus track for their following album, "The Final Cut". Another depressing album but about nuclear annihilation (e.g. "Two Suns in the Sunset"), but with a kick ass rock song "Not Now John". Personally, I prefer a good dose of upbeat music after listening to Pink Floyd such as by The Brian Setzer Orchestra (e.g. "Jump, Jive and Wail"), or The Beatles (e.g. "Hello Goodbye"), or The Baseballs ("Umbrella"), or Van Halen ("I'm the One"), or The Doobie Brothers ("Listen to the Music"), or Fleetwood Mac ("Don't Stop"), Rick Derringer ("Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo"), or Boston ("Rock and Roll Band", or The Guess Who ("Star Baby"), or Badfinger ("Watford John"), or David Bowie ("Modern Love"), or Jessie J ("Price Tag"), or Rod Stewart ("Forever Young"), or Firefall ("Mexico"), or Dire Straits ("Twisting By the Pool"), or The Young Rascals "Good Lovin'"), or Downchild Blues Band ("Tryin' to Keep Her 88's Straight"), or Paul Simon ("Kodachrome"), or Linda Ronstadt ("Back in the USA"), or The Stray Cats ("Rock This Town").
*The Wall* is a concept album, some songs are meant to be played together. When you listen to “Another Brick In The Wall” DO NOT watch the official video, it’s distracting and the music is interrupted, instead listen to 3 songs (studio version always): *Another Brick In The Wall part 1* + *The Happiest Days Of Our Lives* + *Another Brick In The Wall part 2* 👍🏼
Great song but to get full context of what it means, you need to listen to the entire WALL, the story of fictional musician Pink, one of the great concept albums ever. It will blow your mind, Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥
Roger Waters (bass/ vocals) was feeling disconnected and alienated from everybody when he wrote the album 'The Wall' by Pink Floyd... 'Hey you' was written about all the people beyond his 'wall' that he could no longer relate to or communicate with... There is a reference to his lost friend Syd Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd who was ousted from the band in 1968 due to his mental illness... "and the worms ate into his brain"... It's a very dark, sad song and it even hinted that the band would break up ('Together we stand, divided we fall')
You should not listen to separate songs from this album, since the whole album is a story in itself. You must hear the whole album from start to finish and slowly understand how each song fits in the larger puzzle. Then you might want to watch "The Wall" concert by Roger Waters and then the movie. 😉
This is one of the truly great bands. Gilmour is magnificent.
The Wall is a MASTERPIECE that must be listened to in one sitting. I would highly recommend that you have the lyrics drawn up so as to fully understand what it's all about.
@@capetowntrikeman the final cut is underrated too. I see it as an extension of the wall. also about loss and the war. Roger waters again. losing his dad is in nearly every song he writes. it brought him some success from a troubled past.
All Pink Floyd albums should be listened to with good quality headphones.
@@clivenewman4810 or a quality sound system. some of their live stuff sounds better than their records. not many can pull that off. floyd always have.
@@johngreaves4579 Bet no radio station has played "Not now John".
Amen
Floyd are the daddies of prog rock, solos, everything. most influential band ever.❤
Any day is Pink Floyd day !
A record player, two sets of headphones, and this lovely human, is always a good time. =)
Watching the film will have you understanding the music even more when you listen to it again.
A truly profound song for the age of alienation
true, where we seek isolation from an inevitable social reality.
The brightness of this song is the dual voices of Gilmour first and Waters in the end. fabulous.
When Gilmour and Waters share vocal duties it just makes the songs so much better.
50 years ago Pink Floyd were already 200 years ahead of everybody!
Love your reaction, you felt the same way as I did...44 years ago. The "lovely" bass on this track is played by David Gilmour 👍
pink floyd, my favorite band
Pink floyd , will guide you to a spiritual level you never knew you had. It will make you cry , make happtyand sad . Its will touch you in the most magical darkest, beautiful way all at once. My all time favorite love. Pink floyd.❤❤❤
Mega classic Pink Floyd love the whole album the wall ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Best song of Pink Floyd
So many amazing songs on this album!!!🙌🙌👏👏👋👋💖💖
As always, a great reaction to a GREAT Pink Floyd song
It's a strong emotional song with some very fine Dave Gilmour guitar.
and of course the very tasteful drumming of Nick Mason !
Hi Miss Ola! Pink Floyd is more of a journey, than just a song. Very introspective.
you HAVE to listen to the ENTIRE album !! ... the success of this album was SSSOOOOOOO huge - they made a movie based on it !!
Nick Mason on the drums is always spectacular.
And i agree, this album is a Rock Opera and should be listened to completely.
But, in your own time.❤❤
Somehow UA-cam subbed me again.

A very Hauntingly beautiful masterpiece ❤❤❤
That was Roger singing at the end of this song. He's not as smooth as David but it has it's place and I love it.
Roger isn’t as talented as a pure vocalist but his voice is unique and he puts more emotion than Gilmour
@@izbo10I think those lyrics at the end are the toughest to sing without getting emotional in all of rock. That last guitar solo seems to symbolize growing desperation that brings one to tears.
Also 'mother from the same album is awesome too. Double dare you to listen to it.❤❤
Live first, then program after. Let's shake it up a bit. You'll instantly get it.🤩
Thank you for reacting to this great song!
Hi, I'm from Mexico and I grew up listening to this wonderful music. I suggest you react to the videos of the Electric Light Orchestra. They, like the Bee Gees, are my favorites. They are very talented and I love them.

We all love it. Great artists. (understatement) If you don't have a good soul , Pink Floyd can help you with that. Pilots of emotion.
their live performances always sound better than the original.
it's not a gig, it's a performance. ❤
I loved it @ 4:24 "I need more volume"!
Watching the movie is illuminating in this case.
Hey You is about a man who spent his entire life building a wall of emotional isolation, brick by brick, until he finds himself completely cut off from the world around him, unable to communicate with anyone. He is now trying to break free, but his wall is too high and too strong.

You are such a doll. I just want to hold you and listen to music. Great reaction to a great band.
Get some mushrooms or vitamin A and watch the dvd of the wall it’s quite the experience
Please react "Shine on you crazy Diamond" Pulse concert 🙏
Nice Betty Boop shirt!❤
Love it and you lol. Great reaction beautiful.
AFAIK after some point every Pink Floyd album was specifically recorded to be listened to from beginning to end. Singles were never really their thing after "See Emily Play" or so.
You should do a review of the movie "The Wall".
Love this.
¡Gracias!
Thank you for your support ❤️

@@GregCombs100 hey you is a masterpiece. I also like welcome to the machine. very similar in a way. musically, not in the message, but instrumentally.
Love Hey You to bits but the Comfortably Numb solo is the GOAT (studio version, not the Pulse version)
I love the way that the lead guitar seems to start off in the background, it blends with the instrumentation and then comes through to the fore with such powerful, haunting long chords. Just beautiful.
Absolutely
I like ALL of Dave's solos, but Dogs has my favorite.
I wish like me you could have seen them live.
I could see the moment you started to become emotional - always a hazard of listening to PF. I'm glad their music touches you. It has me for 50+ years.

Phenomenal with Lazer beams.

Hey You wasn’t in the original theater release because the lead is a riff on the main theme of the album and Waters thought it would feel redundant

I still have this double album, (record) in it's folder, sounds better than a digital CD. Try 'Dark side of the moon'.
Watch the movie they made out of this album "The Wall" it helps put the story of this album into perspective
Debes escuchar el álbum completo y en orden para comprenderlo. Es conceptual

most of the wall is about Roger waters and the loss of his dad in the war, bring away from loved ones and not getting the love back you want or need. I feel that with my kids.
You're gonna have to watch the movie now so you can connect all the dots!...........Peace!
Edit: Forget Roger Waters " Live from Berlin The Wall 1990" with an est.400,000 attendance. can be seen in it's entirety on you tube
The Wall album and movie are probably some of the most depressing works of art in human history. This does not mean they should be avoided. Depression and social isolation are a very real human emotions and circumstances. They should be explored and experienced in order to empathize with those going through such bad times.

You should watch the movie The Wall with Bob Geldof in the leading role.
listen to the song in 5.1 format
You should not listen to separate songs from this album, since the whole album is a story in itself. You must hear the whole album from start to finish and slowly understand how each song fits in the larger puzzle.
Then you might want to watch "The Wall" concert by Roger Waters and then the movie. 😉
And the worms ate into his brain. 😮 Help me
Try 'Mother' or 'Young Lust' live in 1980. (Is there anybody out there)
Please listen to the whole "The Wall" album. This song is taken out of context. You cannot understand the meaning of it without the whole album.
The Wall really should be listened to from beginning to end. While the artistry of the individual songs can be appreciated, the concept is lost.
Great song. Definitely too short
roger waters voice
His voice certainly telegraphs his vivid personality. I always loved his voice, so intense.
