    The drilling sounds are the worms eating into his brain. Pinhole burns, and silver spoon on a chain, are both drug references. Burns from joint ash; and coke paraphernalia. I like your take on "...grand piano to prop up my mortal remains." It is such a great line.
    And on we go.

      Right. In the old days being born with a silver spoon in your mouth meant that you were born rich. But this reference, “a silver spoon on a chain “meant that Coke heads in the 70s literally wore a coke spoon on a chain around their neck

    Hey I just gotta say, your having taken feedback that this is more like a play and concept album and then doing this series like you are, is the best. Great reactions and your ability to interpret is incredibly good - even though I've grown up with this (in more ways then you can know!), You've showed me different things with the way you describe your take.

    Thank you for doing all of this. I was a huge fan of this album back in younger days but haven't heard it in years, or ever heard it analyzed before. I am sort of in a similar place to where Pink is in this tale, behind my own wall and trying to find my way out. So these past few days of listening have been really cathartic for me. Let's keep it going!
    As far as the timeline: the story began in medias res, with Pink in his hotel room, already well behind his wall. It's through his own memory that we are told the story of his life. As we draw nearer to the end, it becomes less of a shifting between his past and the present, and more of a blurring of the lines between his internal and external realities.

      My life was a mess a few years ago, pushing me to get more serious about my faith in God. When I committed my life to doing HIS will rather than my own, EVERYTHING changed. He showed up. Helped me past some major road blocks. Helping me to accept HIS view of me rather than the worlds. Gave my life purpose. Loving me in a way nobody else could. Helping me to find an inner peace and contentment I've never had. When we live for HIM rather than ourselves EVERYTHING changes.
      Sadly, most churches don't get it. Faith is about letting God lead the way, not just believing who He is. Jesus said it Himself, "You have to lose your life to find it." Matt 10:39 And He walked thru life leading in that same example, doing the will of His Father in heaven. John 5:19

    It's actually, worms not drilling. The worms are a persistent motif. There are elements from Meddle in both the ambient break in hey you as well as in Is There Anybody Out There? The single reverbed high piano key and also the laughing screams from Echoes. Floyd does tons of cross-referencing in their work and it is easy to miss without repeated listenings.

    According to Roger, “Nobody Home” was the last piece he wrote for the album. They needed to fill a time gap, i think he said. It’s a portrait of the collective band. “Pinholes” is a Roger thing. “Elastic bands” is Syd (he got so bad, it is rumored, that he couldn’t tie his shoes. He used rubber bands.) “Grand piano” is Wright (also silver spoon: Wright was struggling with a severe cocaine addiction, apparently). “No where to fly to” is David. It’s an intensely personal retrospective of where the Pink Floyd members were and how they got there. I think some of them flinched a little when Roger wrote it. “Gohil’s boots” also Syd. There’s pictures. They were yellow.

  • @ianfortier6796
    @ianfortier6796 Год назад +6

    As well as Hey You fits at the beginning of side 3, it still fits best where it was originally meant to be placed in the narrative, after Comfortably Numb. The last guitar solo is where Pink goes through his grotesque transformation before getting up on stage for his concert/rally. Hey You, to my mind, is Pink's internal cries from behind his wall. The first verse being to the audience before he hits the stage, the second being one half of Pink's split personality, the optimistic side, trying to rally his despondent side to reach out and connect with him so the two halves can work together and pull their whole self out of the mire. The final verse that Roger sings is the call out to all that feel alone and isolated. Then comes the idea that "The Show Must Go On", and so the concert begins as side 4 gets rolling.

    I am genuinely loving your analysis of this album and your first impressions upon listening to each song.
    Many of the comments are trying to change your interpretation of the story to what the commenter thinks it should be. Ignore them. The beauty of this music is each individual’s own interpretation. It’s a movie that we each play out in our own head as we listen to each song. The overall story remains the same but we each interpret our own details. I’m loving listening to your details even if they differ from my own.

      they just take advantage of Gilmour's more soothing voice to represent a calmer voice, whether it's his own (Pink's) or someone else's, albeit there isn't much that's sung or spoken about anyone else but himself, if any. Pink tries to convince himself not to build the wall, or wonders what is to become of him, and ultimately becomes out of his mind, or feels vulnerable. In The Wall we hear all of his thoughts to himself, either telling his story, or hearing him argue with himself, or just lashing out in a reactionary fashion, all in various voices with different tones, the same as one would have being in different states of mind.

    Side 3 has been my favorite of this album that culminates in the iconic Comfortably Numb, setting the stage for the final act (side). If I remember rightly, Nobody Home was the last song Waters wrote for the album. It may be reassuring and maybe a vindication of my own understanding where our thoughts parallel on the music but perhaps more enjoyable where our ideas about the work differs, so I really enjoy your comments.

Kudos to you for grasping that so well! I wrote papers in college about Pink Floyd as a band! I was always fascinated by Roger Waters as a writer interweaving his vision into text and layering the ambiance of the music into sound! I obsessed all through my youth about David Gilmour's style of playing and reflected on the mystery of Sid Barrett late night and into the wee hours of the morning!!! Thank you for reminding me of why this band was so good!!! ✌

    Those ambient moments you referred to just as Is There Anybody Out There? begins is actually the TV he's watching or staring at catatonically while sitting in his hotel room one night while touring. Most of this album occurs in Pink's mind, like a bad trip or a fever dream.
    Also, during the instrumental break in the middle of Hey You, I don't believe that was drilling, I believe that was dissonance and buzzing meant to convey the advancement of the worms which are metaphorically eating away at his brain and indicating his further descent into madness.

I can't say any of them is better than any of the others. There are just moments in your life that one of 10 their most famous albums suits you so much that you listen it over and over.

    The fabled "millstone" was once used as an execution method and for suicide. These heavy stones were used to grind wheat and Millet for flour. The stones were circular with a hole in the center making them ideal for tying around someone's neck. From the Bible : "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea". Matthew 18.6 - Waters equates the stone with the weight of the burdens (real and otherwise) that will drag you down to your death if you can't find a way to let them go. See the song "The Grudge" by Tool for another perspective on this issue.

    Not sure why so many comments saying he’s got the story all wrong? At watching the end of this video I feel like you pretty much get the whole story so far. That it’s the story of the rockstar Pink who builds the metaphorical wall between him and everyone else, and flashbacks to his childhood are the “bricks in the wall”, and at this point he his pretty cut off from everything. I think you’ve done a great job so far of analysing the album, and as it’s your first listen aswell. Great work 👌

    As far as that background noise adding the element of dread in that later section, it could be a cent or it could be violin or it could be a subtle blend of a woodwind with either of those two. But the main point is it's actually a very important role which is called a pedal tone. This has been used forever, most notably In classical music but in a lot of other modern music. It's just a town that could be either deep low based it could be high it could be anywhere it could be perfectly resonant with everything or it could be a bit dissonant, but the main element of it is that it just stays on the same pitch or at least the same note. I still think like adding in or subtracting out octaves to it still counts. But yeah, I've played around with them in my composition and in band Arrangements and being aware of pedal tones and how to use them effectively is a really cool thing. Hats off the Pink Floyd and congratulations to you for noticing something significant that is kind of in the background.

    I've always rendered that part in nobody home regarding hendrix perm, pinhole burns etc. To be a composite of the band. Syd had a hendrix perm haircut. The grand piano to lift up mortal remains is kind of a jab at rick wright for being so wrecked on drugs. The silver spoon on a chain, while an obvious drug reference for cocaine, also suggests the line of credit extended to the band tenuously. They are wealthy, silver spoon being symbolic of that, but it's on a chain, like being chained, like a dog, and as he says at the beginning of the song, he's a good dog

    In Pink Floyd music, basically everything you hear musically that is not guitars bass and drums is Richard Wright on Keys and Synths. Even in 1980, you could do alot with the keys and synths. I think its also worth mentioning that Pink Floyd works very hard to not only say what the song is in lyrical form, but to create an atmosphere of how it feels to be the character in the song. The arrangements really are great.

    What he means by the inevitable, pinhole Burns down the front of his favorite satin shirt. When I worked in the Mental Hospital , During my internship, a lot of the residents will go on smoke breaks, but because they were so doped up on all the meds, they would be nodding out with their cigarette and be constantly burning holes in their clothes. That's why they were not allowed to smoke in their bedrooms. Even though they would try to sneak and do it and they would end up burning the sheets from nodding out because they were so doped up. Also, I would see that quite often through the years working in drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Alot of the Is heroine and oxycoding addicts would come to detox and the would have alot of burns on there shots and clothing from smoking cigarettes when they are high... nodding out the don't realize the cigarettes they are holding is burning all the way down and hot ash embers are actually burning down to their fingers giving them nicotine stains on there fingers, also what he is describing in the beginning of the song sounds exactly what you get when you are admitted to a drug rehab or mental hospital. They let you have 1 note book to journal, a bag with toothbrush and a combination and they give you shoes without shoelaces so you don't hang yourself. They give you shoes that are simply fitting to you feet with Elastic.

Sigmon froyed said that it was like worms eating into their brains.

    The inevitable pin hole burns...
    They're the little burn holes you get on your clothes while smoking hash joints.
    Little "hot rocks" fall off the end of the joint and ruin your shirts by burning tiny holes.
    I've ruined plenty of shirts that way while listening to this stuff...
    Best way to listen.
    The music reaches your soul.

    Side three is really a stream of consciousness, except that Hey You belongs after Comfortably Numb. The lyrics , the mood and the heightening desperation place it after his illusion of being awakened by the doctor in Comfortably Numb. Bob Ezrin convinced Roger to move it to the front of side three right before pressing.
    With that in mind side three has such a wonderful flow as Pink's mind is directed by perceived outside influences. "Is There Anybody Out There" begins with Marshall Dillon from Gunsmoke on the trail of a guilty criminal. This foreshadows Pink being brought to justice in "The Trial" The high pitched drone is either a string synth or a violin. Michael Kamen did provide orchestration for this track. He also provided orchestration for Comfortably Numb. in "Nobody Home" the military comes back to Pink's mind through the old TV show "Gomer Pyle USMC". Interestingly, Sgt. Carter is talking about a girlfriend. which brings to mind Pink's own girlfriend/wife who screams. He was probably abusing her. But in his isolation he begins to inventory what he thinks he still has control over. But this is all imagination and memory. Even this though will betray him particularly after Comfortably Numb when his memory and imagination take off on their own accord and is not even capable of controlling his own mind.
    Interestingly the silver spoon and the grand piano are a direct reference to Rick Wright and his problems that led to his dismissal from the band. At the time Rick was suffering marital problems and drug problems. His involvement in the album and the live shows that followed was as a session player. The Hendrix perm, the pinhole burns and the gohil's boots allude to Syd Barrett. The military reference continues in the background as Pink's mind ramps up the imagery the the WWII movie, Battle Of Britain" which immediately brings to mind Vera Lynn the British singer.

    The silver spoon refers to a salt spoon, which is tiny, perhaps an inch and a half long, and is the perfect size for a quick bump of coke. It's kept on a chain around the neck and was favored by serious cokeheads back then who needed quick access to their powder.

    "Silver spoon on a chain." Coke addicts carried a small silver spoon on a chain around their necks. Coke was huge among celebrities in the late 70s-early 80s.

    Goodbye Cruel World is actually about Pink placing the last brick in the metaphoric wall he's built to shut the rest of the world out. In Hey You he's psychologically pleading for some connection with someone, anyone, but no one can see or hear him. In the live show the last brick in the actual wall that was being built is placed in Goodbye Cruel World. Hey You is played entirely behind a wall, including the light show which as an audience member you can see seeping over the top. It was brilliance of the highest order. I love the song Hey You. Roger Waters writing at its finest, and the studio recording is played by an orchestra of Gilmours on up to 5 guitars and a fretless bass. Side 3 of The Wall is Roger and David at their best.
    Sidenote: Little easter egg that people miss sometimes, during 'Is There Anybody Out There' Gilmour plays the albatross call from Echoes middle section, and of course Echoes is a song about empathy and connection between people. 'Is There Anybody Out There' with "I am you and what I see is me" reference in the background. Clever buggers those Floydians were.
    Second side note: There are several direct references to Syd in There's Nobody Home: Hendrix perm which Syd got near the end of his Floyd days, nicotine stain on his fingers. Wild staring eyes etc.

    Guitar, bass, keys and drums. That’s it. You mention “guitars” plural a lot. A lot of the layering you hear in the beginning is Gilmore laid over keys, with Waters easily noted additions on bass.

    Waters was a heavy cigarette/hash smoker during the late 60s and early 70s, so the pinhole burns he knows well. We all have the benefit of seeing the movie and Syed hasn't, my interpretations of the songs were a little different before I saw The Wall movie. There are so many lyrics in this album that can also be self reflective like "I got a strong urge to fly, but I got nowhere to fly to" .. I think we all feel this way about our ambitions and potential outweighing our resources.

    My last comment on this video lol the calls made during Nobody Home are to his wife. She's not there to pick up the phone because she's so involved with her affair and has closed the door on her marriage and this is essentially the final nail in the coffin which cements his wall even more. The ohills boots and fading roots are an allusion of what's to come as side 4 starts and it isn't pretty...

      Gohills boots, also known as "Beatle boots" cos they wore them in the matching suits and mop-top days, are short boots with a side zip fastening with a metal ring on the zip.
