Beth, you brought a smile to an old man's face on this day. Some of the happiest times of my life were spent discovering I had adequate experience to accompany Pink Floyd on my guitar(s). A bad injury last year had ruined my right hand and hurt me psychologically, but seeing younger folk such as yourself enjoying this wonderful music brings me happiness. Thank you. 🕊️🌹😇🎸
I would love to see what you think of the movie "The Wall" which took their whole album and put it to story line. I saw it in 1982. It was earthshaking to me at that time.
Lee, with all due respect, The Wall was composed as a rock opera, which by definition has a story line. The transition to film was just another creative avenue. And, yes, to be honest, it was a "for profit" venture, not really original creativity. Enjoy, my friend 🕊️✌️😇
For me, the movie, once I'd watched it a few times, gave me a better understanding of what was being said. It helped me to understand a few aspects which I hadn't fully understood.
@@dgk42 fair enough, David. I was accustomed to following classical opera as a kid in the 60s, was hypnotized learning the storyline in "Tommy", by The Who. By the time The Wall released as a recording, before the film, I understood the construction of opera. But I still applaud everyone who seeks greater comprehension by whatever media works best for them. ✌️🕊️🤗
Another great experience of Pink Floyd. This came out when I was in 8th grade. Imagine the entire class starts to sing this at one time. It was fun when a couple of teachers joined in. Like most PF songs there's a degree of haunting melody but when the kids chorus come up it brings more power to it. I know others have suggested it, but if you haven't seen The Wall make it a point to.
Pink Floyd is the main reason for wearing headphones while being on the streets... And people.
Nah…
...mostly people.
Did you know that this song was banned in South Africa at the beginning of the 80s because it became a protest song during student unrest and protest against Apartheid originating in black schools?
I did not!
hello, this song is from the album The Wall, it is an album that tells the life of a boy named Pink who represents the life of Roger Waters as a boy and Syd Barrett as an adult (the former member of the band). Each song has a meaning related to Pink (the boy) who had a hard life since his father died in the war and his mother is too overprotective. This song is a criticism of the education system of that time since it was very strict. That in Pink's eyes it would look like another brick in the wall, that is, another weight to carry
To your question: engineers have the idea of a "feedback loop". A feedback loop is any process that works in such a way that its output becomes new input to the process itself. So, a loop. Now, some loops result in the process becoming stronger, and some loops result in the process becoming weaker. The ever-growing process is called a "positive feedback loop", and the ever-weakening process is called a "negative feedback loop". Some loops do neither. They just find a nice, comfortable spot and stay there. Those are "static loops", or "steady-state" processes. Engineers are well-aware that both positive and negative loops can fail. The positive loops build and build and build until they "blow up". Computer engineers use that term when they find a computer that has crashed, seemingly all on its own. Negative loops can do just the opposite. They consume their own fuel, so to say, and just wind down to a stop. It's death with a whimper, not a bang. Static loops can go on forever, as long as nothing intervenes from the outside. If something from the outside does intervene, then the static loop can go positive or negative, and one gets a whole new result. So, at this point, do we see any social/cultural parallels? I do. Some good. Some not. Feel free to comment, Everyone.
If you want Big intro see Mylène Farmer intro ! Bonjour de la France !
Have a look at the official video by PF of this song.
I like your comment about how the guitar makes you want to groove along to the song, even though the subject matter is so dark and oppressive. I think David Bowie's "Fashion" has a similar effect for me, where the lyrics connect fashion with fascism and the rhythms are in absolute rigid lockstep, but the band's funk background still shines through and is irresistible.
I agree with you that it's cyclical. I don't think a song has ever created a brand new social narrative, but a lot of popular music reflects social narratives that have begin to gain traction and a song can certainly amplify that narrative and sway more people to that line of thinking.
Check out 'Run Like Hell' from Pulse for some interesting singing similar to this...
I think another brick in the wall has things that you can cut to put in Radio..
So you can cut half of the solo.. cause it finishes the song.
you can just cut it and put a song of 4 min in 3 min for the radio.
I think that the Wall is more commercial than others albums.
Pink Floyd almost have just 5 min each song, in the minimum.
Thats not song for radio..
And this song were banned from some countries.
Search for curiosity from PF in wikipedia.. its funny something from veneza...
I love Pink Floyd I have seen them in Concert I have seen Roger Waters in concert. Unfortunately Roger Waters is not in the band at this time and without him doing his parts in the song you do not get the full experience. Yes I know he chose that route but it is still an important part of the song and music you are missing.
On a side note the Roger Waters concert was incredible. It was at the Gorge in George Washington (state) There is an outdoor vineyard with an amphitheater. The radio said all week be there at 8:30pm or you will be late. Due to a serious fatality accident we got there just before 8:30pm. While standing in line I was looking down in the bowl in front of the stage I looked up and out on the horizon I see a very large jet (737 size) flying very low over the plains heading straight at us. I told my friend Rocky, "Hey look at that jet it is really low. He turned to look, both of us now looking at the jet as it buzzed the stage hit the afterburners, veered off to the right and the concert started. If you were down in the bowl in front of the stage you never saw it coming until it hit the afterburners. It was one of the most incredible concert stunts I have ever seen. In this day and age we will never see anything like it again. I tried finding anything on it but it was like 1999 and cellphones were still flip and camera less.
wow I found audio of it and a photo of the jet it was a full sized jet bigger than a 737. here is the link (Beth you will need to approve it) It was awesome. (the recording is from 2000 and kinda terrible FYI

It's like the question. Which was first? The chicken or the egg? In the end it does not matter. It is there and it is iconic for the time (and even today) it was made and the message it was saying. Masterclass social storytelling in a grand universal kind of way! Something we need more off in these days of hype and social media extremism!!
The egg came first. A *long* time before the chicken. ;)
Been waiting a long time for this thanks. Yes I’m a shoot Pink Floyd band just huge
Another song that uses a child choir in much better the same way is "Dirty Harry" by the Gorillaz. That song is quite poetic.
Dang. Thought it was gunna be the the original.
This version is good but it lost something when Roger Waters left the band. He added a dissonant sound to the music with his bass playing that was missing in their later albums.
Brick+mortar!
Whose the other three
I can only recognize Dave
Car Crash -- Idles live from the basement. Please
I have nothing but respect and admiration for Roger Waters as an artist, but his desire to push a specific narrative often comes at the expense of the music in general. This is why his partnership with David Gilmour and the rest of Pink Floyd was so successful, because they would balance things out, allowing Roger to say what he needed to say while the band still produced something musically rich.
Until it stopped working.
For me this song is a reminder that you can have it both ways - you can have your narrative AND you can have rich and engaging music.
I would choose Roger Waters live version, for the political message of the song is more intense in his performance.
Any bloke in a pub can sing this!
('cmon Beth!)
You are doing this song for clicks!
(UNLESS you are going to get into politics!)
...I kinda like the idea of Beth being social/political
(with OWN ideas and thoughts!)
Are you running out of material?
You are burning yourself out.
You are using the batteries.
(Beth, slow down on OUTPUT and focus on what YOU feel is worthy!)
YOU are famous enough already!
GO! (Fight the good fight!)
(YOU have the "it" that makes a "reaction-vid" barely watchable.)
Take your "it" and go INFLUENCE the world!
Pink Floyd sound like they are shouting always, Roger and Dave are rubbish singers.
The song is about the education system itself, compulsory education is a crime against us all.
Why do people always pick the upload from HDPinkFloyd (who is just a PF fan) with the broken intro at 1:35 instead of the upload on Pink Floyd's official channel which does have the complete song?
Amazing fun fact: the concert was in surround sound and the searchlights at the beginiing were lighting point in space where the helicpoter sound was coming from. Absolutely amazing.
There’s only ever been one Pink Floyd, they cracked the mould!
One of my favorite bands. They had me hooked with "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" in 1967. (The year I graduated from high school in the US.) A lot of music from the 60's and 70's, especially after Woodstock, was very critical of war, poverty, bigotry, and the government. One of the biggest I remember was the song "Ohio" by CSNY - a song about the National Guard shooting unarmed students on the campus at Kent State Univ.
Great video (although they do edit out some of the intro). I really appreciate that on the Delicate Sound of Thunder and Pulse tours, the backing musicians are given a chance to highlight their skills. Tim Renwick's guitar in this performance, for example, shows the difference high quality backing performers can make in a show. I know folks go to see the usual band members (I did), but what a nice touch to let the others shine! Thank you for your own insight and work!
100pct. The backing vocals and instruments along with the stage production are what separate PF greatly from most bands, including Led Zeppelin who almost never could match or exceed their studio versions. Other somewhat successful bands had some personalities that demanded "look at me and how pretty and how great I am". ---never that with PF.
So agee! The second guy, now Tim (thank you!) solo' was amazing.
I respectfully interject that NO band could have matched the studio versions of any album Mr. Page produced. He was aware he could not play 7 guitar overlays simultaneously on the road. 😉 Same could be said of The Beatles.
@@ryanr5319 that is true for sure, but couldn't they have just gotten one additional guitar lol j/k...the live 70s for LedZep was different than PF post Waters in late 80s and the 90s. More options available.
At Roger Waters " The Wall" concerts in 2015. Roger brought in local kids to do the chorus.

Dear Beck Roars, I love your videos. Could you please react to Joe Cocker? He is one of the most passionate, unique, and powerful rock and roll singers you will ever hear. Hugely under-rated but I put him up there with the greats like Plant and Joplin. His woodstock performance is electrifying. Cheers from the west!
This song reminds me of school growing up in the 70s in Manchester UK. Our teachers used the strap and cane. We sang this to our teachers in defiance after refusing to go back inside after lunch.
see at BLACK METAL TEENS LISTENING PINK FLOYD
Definitely both. There are plenty of instances or Bands (or Solo Artists) calling out Injustice, Corruption, Inequality, Racism, Sexism, Environmental Vandalism ect ect. You only have to listen to a few tracks from Rage Against the Machine, or Midnight Oil to hear it, and feel it.
At the same time, bands like the 2 I've mentioned, make you think and ask questions. Or read up on what they are railing against, which in turn educates people about real world issues.
I think musics reflects society. People can really relate and feel the sound
Glad you enjoyed it. I was a little younger than you (18) when the Wall was released. Great album, but not their best In my opinion. Tries listening to Animals (1977).
Great musicians , like Pink Floyd, wrote music and lyricks that reflected the society and politics of their time. The record , dark side of the moon was a protest album reflected og the differences and political systems that went on in the 70ìes but this album , The Wall is more about Roger Waters upbringing.
You also might want to listen to , Wish you were here from 1974, and us and them from 1973.
If you haven't watched Roger Waters recent podcast with Joe Rogan, it is a must hear/see. He talks about this song and the school system...and so much more, like he was banned from playing and using a local children's choir on his current tour because of his hatred of war. Sorry, I've forgotten which country it was.
I'm 99% sure Roger Waters, who wrote like 95% of the Wall. Also sang most of the songs, like this one. Of course there were also many times where David would either sing the chorus, while Roger sand the verses. Or vice versa!
Damn, who is that guitarist playing the solo after Dave Gilmour? What a talent!
Tim Renfeld second guest guitarist.
Oh, that's from the Pulse tour during the 90s? I'm expecting a lot of critical comments here, since this was many years after Pink Floyd finally split up, and The Wall has been to a large extend by Roger Waters.
You need to react Gusttavo Lima - Na Hora de amar - spending my time Brazilian version. Highest voice song
Ooh, I would love to hear your reaction to the single from Rick Wright's second solo album, _Broken China._ It's called "Night of a Thousand Furry Toys."
It's stuffed with great atmosphere like this, another killer guitar solo from Tim Renwick, and haunting vocals from Rick, the Pink Floyd keyboardist.
Great reaction but you never skip Pink Floyd Beth haahahah
That's the shitty video source she picked
Probably not the best version, neither musically nor visually - you need to go to Roger Waters for that, who conceived it. When it came out (1979), I was actually a secondary teacher, and it was the teachers who were singing it. I can assure you those kids did need an education, but they were often busy listening to the dance pop of the day. Waters was writing about the conformity, conservatism and cruel discipline of an earlier time, when it really was 'thought control'. Even in my day, we had come a long way.
I read that Waters was not happy about the producers' suggestion to release this as a single, considering their music to be holistic, essentially an album band. Of course he was overruled and it became one of their very few 'hits'. The problem with that is that over time bands become known only for their hit singles, and for many young people this became the case with Floyd for quite a long time, though their legendary live performances, led separately by Waters and Gilmour, have fully transcended it. As I recall, there was a compilation album released which they called 'A Collection of Old Dance Tunes' or something like that. I don't know who decided to call it that.
thank god someone said it
@@Shea_Connerty Thank you but curious - said what in particular?
@@lifelover515 about Roger waters voice. Who’s not singing in this video.
No one can do what David Gilmour does so well❤️🎸
Yes, I was just remarking to my son it must be no fun to play second solo after David Gilmore's finished playing his signature solos in his songs.
@@gragor11 Tim Renwick did a really great job! I like his solo. Powerful, angry, it fits very well to this song.
500,000 watts of power, 128 wireless speakers. at outdoor concerts the people all look up to see the helicopter but wasn't there. saw this concert 5 times. This concert at Earl's court was played 14 days in a row, "sold out"
I agree with you Beth, that it can be both. Perhaps more often music drives the social narrative of society, but I believe that there are times when music itself drives the social narrative. Back in the 60's there was conscious effort in the US by musicians to effect social change. The best examples of this is the music that came out praising free love, taking better care of our planet and damning the Vietnam war. These are the best examples I can think of where music drove the social narrative. For the reverse, namely music reflecting or supporting the social narrative of society you can look at music that helps us remember who we are and how we belong. Music that came out right after 9/11 is a good example of this. I think a lot of the music that's driven by the social narrative tends to come out most frequently during times of collective crises or euphoria. This is just my view. 😁
I love the characteristic sound of the drop-D tuned bass.
8:30 - Yes. That is to say that I agree that it’s both…. Each shaping the other.
The children's choir on the actual album is even better. I believe they won a Grammy for it.
It's a shame that Earls Court was taken down, fun fact, on this whole tour this was the only indoor venue because the stage wouldn't fit anywhere else
Music effects change. Change effects music.
Not a huge fan of Floyd. Well, unless we go way back to the Syd Barrett years and to when PF created experimental pieces/albums. With that said, I do love the mood that PF's music evokes. I'll be quiet now and enjoy Beth's new upload. "Rahrrr!" 🦁
A bit of Floyd and a bit of Beth, great Monday
You will never mistake Pink Floyd for any other band.
Pink's lighting is amazing as is their music. Complex yet simple!!! They are masters of their craft! This is a protest song!!! Great observation, as usually coming from YOU. Well Beth, are you another brick in the wall??
David's guitar work is flawless, as is his singing! Music can start the conversation... Pink's songs make me think every time.
Just discovered your channel, it's very lovely and it seems Beth has already covered some of my favourite singers already. Noticed however Smokey Robinson is not among them as of yet, he'll slot in very comfortably right next Aretha Franklin and no Joan Baez yet! If anyone has a stand out voice, I'd have thought Joan Baez would be right up there. Another blast from the past would be the ever superb Howlin' Wolf.
The original studio recording had students from Islington Green singing backup. There's a where are they now documentary about them you can sometimes find here on UA-cam. If you want to hear Dave Gilmour's vocals at their peak listen to his vocal work on the Floyd albums Wish You Were Here and Animals and if you want to hear how Dave Gilmour's and Roger Waters' vocals worked together in Pink Floyd listen to the original studio version of Comfortably Numb from The Wall. As far as protest songs I think it's like a two way mirror.
Protest songs aren't doing much to be honest, except maybe make you stop feeling alone, if you were in that mind state. I mean for example Bob Dylan's 'Hurricane' song didn't get the innocent boxer Rubin Carter out of prison. Same for Rage against the Machine's song 'Killing in the Name' (which was a great reaction video of yours btw) did not stop racism in the police force. Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick in the Wall' song came from an era, when the iron curtain was still up and the cold war was still ongoing. I am pretty sure kids from the cold war period were being taught cold war propaganda at school back then and that's what Pink Floyd's song really was about. Other Cold War protest songs for example are 'Land of Confusion' by Genesis -> ua-cam.com/video/Yq7FKO5DlV0/v-deo.html and 'Two Tribes' by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. -> ua-cam.com/video/pO1HC8pHZw0/v-deo.html I am now very curious what your reactions are going to be on those songs. :)
Comfortably Numb, Pulse 1994 life... beautiful, exciting, epic...👍👍👏👏
Pink Floyd is the only band I know that takes your brain, twists it and shakes it around to make you see life from a different angle. They show you the very depths of their souls and that makes their message all the more powerful, they are quite extraordinary.
You Should Listen to Voiceplay's Tennessee Whiskey Video!!!!! WOW!!!!! You Will Love it
I read that it wasn't really a proper kids choir, it was just kids from the local school, brought in without knowing what they were going to be asked to do
It think Pink Floyd was way ahead of the curve, where it came to starting or following social issues. I mean think about it. The Wall came out in 1979 so. How many school shootings were happening in 1979. Compared to now? Like None? As far back as I can tell, Roger Waters Lyrics have often, if not always had duel meanings to them. Meaning you could take them one way or another. I've gotten in arguments when stating this in Floyd songs on here. Where they hate his political stances and say it's only recently, his lyrics have gone in that direction. As well as elements of his shows for his solo career. Which is complete horse shit, because again I say. His lyrics had those duel meanings all the way back to the Wish You Were Here album. Which came out when? 1975. Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine, were very politically and anti corporate too, as in anti record companies. And obviously so were Money & US & Them, on The Dark Side of the Moon album ( 1973 ). Animals (1977) was completely written along those lines.
From this, I'd recommend you listen to Sam Brown. She's the backing singer in the middle. I think she had an 8 octave rang, but sadly due to an operation and throat issues, can't sing anymore.
You Should Listen to Voiceplay's Tennessee Whiskey Video!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!
Beth, as someone who grew up when Another Brick came out, please understand that this was a groundbreaking song. It's composition was a radical change to standard rock at the time.
I disagree that music alone can propel a social narrative (in this day and age anyhow). Make an instrumental track, call it "Protect Women's rights" or "Save the environment" or whatnot, and no matter how insanely popular that song becomes, without additional communication - lyrics, a music video, pictures, etc - that instrumental will not propel or even properly convey the social narrative message youd like to send out. Music can and does, however, AMPLIFY social narrative and is a truly unmatched tool to communicate empathy and emotional imagery.
Only one word can describe Pink Floyd - EPIC!
It's obvious that the social narrative that you speak of is what is driving the entire narrative of the wall if you ever seen the live concert when they're building a 60 by 100 ft Giant wall out of giant sponge bricks and then at the other end of the concert they shove the whole wall over into the audience I recommend that you find it and watch it they did the whole wall tour with all the cartoon characters video down the wall after it was built during the concert watch it I recommended greatly I myself had a number one song and the 70s Called Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling so if you would like your critique my project, Iowa corporate we also did the background for the song Brandy by Looking Glass.. You have my Facebook information. I'm actually from Coventry England and would like to see your cake on my skills, and I feel yours are excellent
I have a request.. could you also react to indianfolkmetal band Dymbur, the song Child Abuse.. these guys write songs about social issues. Do check out their song Rape Culture too which talks about violence against women in India.
I would like for you to react to Vince McMahon Stand Back from the 1987 Slammy Awards
I always thought the use of very poor grammar in the lyrics in a song about trying to reform education to be verh clever. The song was not a written as a direct criticism of a real education system but part of a rock opera in a fictional dystopian place with an almost 1930's/40's style bullying education system, but a lot of people did hold it up as an anthem against a poor and underfunded education system in the UK in the late 70's and early 80's.
Hey Beth, you should have a look at David Gilmour's - In any tongue. Amazing voices!
I teach a class, The Sociology of Popular Music, and your question is one that is the driving force behind the course. Does music shape society or does society shape music? Yes.
Beth, you need to do something with a retiring Scottish singer, Fish....huge career and catalog to choose from...does a live segment every Friday with his fans....
It's not a funky guitar sound. It's a disco guitar. Part of the reason the song was popular in 1979 into 1980.
Art certainly drives culture in many ways. Comedy, music, and even movies have greatly influenced shifts in culture. Now that said, it's an interesting psychosocial phenomenon that demonstrates how creative thought is the mechanism for change and how creative thinkers represent a vast majority of artistic endeavors.
So in that sense, it is a bit of both, but it is often first noticed as some form of artistic expression. It also doesn't answer the question of whether that change is a "good or bad" thing. Considering that creative types are often less likely to consider the long term unintended consequences of change or the nuanced ways in which those unintended consequences can develop. Which is why we need those analytical thinkers to push back against change just as much as those creative thinkers proposing new ideas.
Cool to analyze but that is the wrong state of consciousness to experience Pink Floyd.
Altered States of Consciousness.
The education system in the US these days is awful. I actually saw a young person asked in which country Venice, Italy was located. Her answer was Paris. And she was in college with the intention to become a teacher.
And it's definitely the social narrative this is a newer band keyboard is has passed away since this and Rodger water is not on the stage frankly this is not the best version of this song. But it's the social narrative in most of their lyrics from Piper at the Gates of Dawn of course we put our aprons on Dark Side of the Moon with the Great Gig in the sky
I think that art in all its forms can be a reflection of society AND society can be a reflection of art. If I limit that question to the music I listen to, then music tends to be a reflection of society, good or bad. And The Wall seems to me to be a reflection and a challenge.
What to expect from education, when education needs education...?
I still think I prefer the working version of it you really get a better understanding of the album along with the roughness of the early version of young lust is just fantastic. Floyd just has so much to listen to it is great.
I have seen the Pulse Tour many, many years ago. It was one of the most impressing concerts of my life.
You should react to Wicked game
By HIM
One of my favourite bands, great song, great reaction.
I love how David changes it up with the Guitar solo in the end different than on the Album.
Never lived in the UK , never went to this type of school so that aspect of the core of this song is not there for me. It was a great song when it came out (still is) but we never had to break the wall down where I went to school.
You should react to a Mark Tremonti cover of Sinatra songs.
From a video, it's impossible to gauge the scale, the magnitude of a pink Floyd show..... enormous
Another great band, thanks you australia.
it's not just a musician that comes up with a narrative on problems in society. they are definitely a voice, but not necessarily the source.
I've found that some musicians are really good at putting together various sources. But maybe they need to be more open about what those sources are?
I hope you reacting pink floyd Hey You
Maybe im Amazed - Paul McCartney
Pink floyd forever and ever you are so beautiful 🥰😏⚘
I think music doesn't start a broad social narrative, it reflects it. But it can amplify, unite people in a cause and drive a specific movement forward. Funny thing is, this song was meant as a part of the narrative for Pink on The Wall. The Wall tells a story of the main character Pink. It reflects the personal experience Roger Waters (the lyricist) had in school. It wasn't meant to be a protest song. But the lyrics (and music) struck a cord with many people, most famously the anti-Apartheid movement in South-Africa at the time and thus it started being it's own (other) thing outside of The Wall narrative.
Please react to Erykah Badu!!!
This song got me through high school in the American south.
