    The wall is meant to be a full album experience. The story is told through the eyes of "Pink," who is a representative of Roger Waters and who is struggling with success and dealing with his emotional wounds from the loss of his father (who died at the battle of Anzio before Roger was born. Its about a broken rock star struggling with mental health decline.

      Absolutely spot on. And to add to that, in its simplest form, it is about a metaphorical wall that Pink (the singer in the rock opera); this wall represents the abandonment and its resulting self-isolation.
      In Hey You, one can make a case he is reaching out to his own humanity, to his "wall-less" self. But alas, it was all fantasy. Yeah barbells, I think you nailed it, even without the context of the rest of the album.

      It's like trying to understand a movie by watching random scenes. It doesn't work. The 70's was the era of the progressive rock concept album, bands including Pink Floyd and others. The Wall was the pinnacle of that artistic trend, they took it to a whole new level here.

    Phil's eyes nearly popped out of his head when the solo started!

The end solo is emotional, reflective and ultimately a goodbye.

    Another solid reaction! The Wall is more than a concept album in that its actually a rock opera. Essentially a narrative set to music. Without going into too much detail since you're going to watch the movie, it's about a rock star who's life experiences lead him to systematically build an emotional (and metaphorical) wall around himself to isolate from more painful experiences. The story can SEEM disjointed or confusing at times, but after giving multiple listens and seeing the movie, it should all pretty well fall into place. The movie and visuals are definitely more to a dark dystopian surrealistic feel, nightmarish in some places, so be ready. It's definitely a weighty and dark experience. Beyond that, my recommendations would be either Shine On You Crazy Diamond pts 1-5 (which starts the Wish You Were Here album, then Shine On You Crazy Diamond pts 6-9 (who've closes it out), OR the song Dogs from concept album Animals. It all depends on how ambitious you're feeling. If you're open to doing an album reaction, I'd recommend Wish You Were Here moreso than Animals, to start. Or Dark Side Of the Moon.

    Great stuff. One way that I have seen many reactors go through entire albums in sequence, especially ones that are important like concept albums, like Dark Side of the Moon and the wall. Is to just review to or three of them at a time, whatever makes sense. And it makes for a lot of fun and people therefore really anticipate the next release of the next two or three songs from the album, and the progress that is being made through the album. On the other hand, I have heard people react to the entire side A of The Rush 2112 album which is really the only way it should be listened to. And they seem to be able to do that without it getting blocked. But with the Beatles for example it's apparently nearly impossible to post an entire album review, but I've seen several reactors work their way through Beatles albums two or three songs at a time

    Pink Floyd is different than most bands. This like some of their other albums is a continuous story that will come together if you listen to it in order. It’s as simple as that.✌️

    Trying to figure out the meaning of most songs from the Wall album is like reading a random chapter of a book and trying to figure out what is going on without knowing the rest of the book

    In the context of the full album / movie experience, all of these songs make a lot more sense, (especially for those who understand Syd Barrett's story), in post-WW2 England with their strong memories (and traumas) from the war still not faded when this album was written.

    Probably the most foreboding sounding song ever made. At this point Pink has completed the wall (a metaphor for going mad / blocking out the world). Each song on the album alludes to something in Pinks life that adds a brick to that wall. Pink is trying one last time to reach out to be saved before letting the worms (bad thoughts) take him over completely.

    With the lyrics, you won’t get it till you watch the whole movie! There’s a story he’s telling and every song is accompanied with the visuals of the movie that help explain his whole life! Even the instruments help accentuate the story. Luke the solo guitar on this song has a significant meaning to his life story!

    If you listen to the very early Pink Floyd, oh they are so abstract with their psychedelic experimental stuff, and here in the US you have no idea. I grew up with Pink Floyd, and their first album in 1967, yes I am old, and saw them live 8 times, from tiny venues to the huge 2nd British Rock Festival on an island in the river Rhine in Germany, you might call it the 'German Woodstock'. One of my very few all time favorite bands. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and I recently added two more, Nightwish, and LoveBites.

    If you could guess "the meaning" of The Wall by a few random tunes, I would be seriously impressed! To really get it, you have to do the whole thing start to finish. Album or movie either one doesnt matter. Yet, certain songs kinda stand on their own with a meaning besides the meaning within the rest of the story. Floyd is Floyd!

  • @johncoppinger3208

    Guys the background riff and part of the solo is a reprise of “Another brick in the wall “ which you have already listened to. It keeps recurring throughout the album.

  • @flubblert
    @flubblert 11 днів тому

    The Wall is a double *concept* album. It is basically about a rockstar going slowly insane. This song occurs about halfway through. Listened to in context it makes a lot more sense.
    Alone, it is only a single scene taken from a much larger narrative. Hence the suggestions that you listen to the entire album when it comes to Pink Floyd, if only to interpret the lyrics better.

    This is at the mid point of The Wall and it's the lead up to Comfortably Numb. Its kind of a crucial part of the concept and the movie.
    There were some releases before The Wall came out most notably Another Brick In The Wall Part 1/The Happiest Days Of Our Lives/Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 all played together as one song. When I bought the album I sat and listened to the whole thing beginning to end while reading the lyrics and its a really deep story.
    Seeing the movie is something you should really do.

    David Gilmour released his first solo record a year before this album came out. He followed it up in 84 with About Face. Two excellent records.
    Another great concept album, released about a decade later is Operation: Mindcrime from Queensrÿche. Also an lp that should be listened to in its entirety. If you start with one song I would choose Eyes of a Stranger.
    As far as Floyd, I would go back to One of These Days from the Meddle album.

  • @yelnikigwawa1845

    This song's location on the double album is when the fictional young would-be rock star Pink has begun to realize that in pursuit of his dream, he's pushed everyone away, and he's terribly lonely. In this song, he's reaching out to strangers, anyone who could help him feel less alone. Alas, he doesn't find anyone, which leads him to start doing the drugs that we find have left him too stoned to play in "Comfortably Numb".
    "The worms" are the little voices that whisper in our ears, some from within, and others from without. "The Wall" is both the name of the double album, and Pink's emotional creation. He began building it as a young man, to protect him from those who hurt him - his teachers, his over-bearing mother, and eventually his girlfriend. Later in life, it allowed him to wall out distractions, and focus on achieving his dream. But as the album goes, he begins to realize what he's lost and/or given up, and becomes desperate for connection. Pink Floyd doesn't write love songs, they write albums, on topics like mental illness, life and death, the corruption of money, and a variety of other topics you just won't hear anybody else singing about.

    As most commenters mentioned, while all the songs are great, it's putting it within the sum of all of it's parts' context to really get the "bigger picture". Know what I mean?
    Anyways, Pink Floyd must be within the top 3 bands of all time. And, I'm talking a very, very, very high bar... having to set aside some truly spectacular phenomenal bands.
    In any case, loving the music.
    All the best to you and yous

    Even after listening to THE WALL, over and over, one may never hear everything this album has to offer. The movie helps A LOT. Seeing it live too. I’ve learned to play every instrument on it, minus keyboards, sang lead and backup and performed songs from it (Comfortablely Numb, Hey you and others) many times and still hear something I haven’t heard or figured out in the story. Please go watch the movie. It is a bit grim but semi-autobiographical.

    "The Wall" double album tells a story, (like most other Floyd albums), of a tortured Rock star named "Pink" and his battles with insanity and with an abusive teacher and an overbearing, smothering mother, (see "Mother", also on The Wall album). Most all of Pink Floyds albums are meant to be listened to in full because of the story they tell. "The Wall" is Pink Floyds only double album.
    "The Wall" Concert Tour was an incredible performance, AND a Play, at the same time, performed and acted out live and onstage! The tour was a massive undertaking, logistically and financially, they had all kinds of props, starting the show with a plane flying over the audience from the back of the venue, on fire, crashing into the right side of the stage in a ball of fire! All the while a giant Wall was being built as the concert was in progress, only to be blown up and destroyed at the end of the show.
    There were two giant 30-foot tall blow-up cartoon like puppets, walking across the stage as the show was going on. They were cartoon like characters that represented Pinks Mother, and his Teacher.
    The Tour was so massive that they performed a total of only 12 shows in the US in 1980, 6 on the east coast and 6 on the west coast. I was extremely fortunate to get tickets to one of the east coast shows, as Floyd, (as they were referred to by many in the UK and the US), sold out all their concerts very quickly.
    The 6 east coast shows were held at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale Long Island NY in February of 1980, that's where I saw them, (I was 24 years old att). It was, and is, the most spectacular, phenomenal, incredible performance of any kind, that I have seen in all my life!
    No one out on a live performance like Pink Floyd, no one,... and "The Wall" was their crowning achievement imo.
    Here's a 46 second clip showing the plane flying and crashing, this happens at the end of the very first song of the Show,...

    The lyrics make sense if you interpret them in relation to the whole story of The Wall. In essence the album is about the main character Pink a rock star who has had traumatic experiences throughout life, and has built an emotional wall around himself. Each traumatic experience became "another brick in the wall" isolating him more and more from the outside world. Hey You is a call out for help.
