      This whole album tells a story, so you need to listen to it from start to finish. It's a story about a kid who grows up to be a rock star. They even made a movie out of this album.
      Trying to listen to the songs out of order won't make any sense.
      In this song he recently had an episode where he's no longer fully in touch with reality, [he's locked within the walls (the title of the album) of his own mind] he can hear people talking but can't make out what they are saying. That's why the 'Hey You' title, he doesn't know who is trying to help him.

      Its meant to be listened to in as a sequential part of the entire
      album. Listening to it alone, it can be heard out of context.
      While The Wall has some very notable singles (understatement), like much of Pink Floyd's 70's era catalog, its a concept album from start to finish, and meant to be listened to in the order its presented in.

      The Pink Floyd albums tend to be listened from start to finish on one go, but the The Wall album imo needs the movie for you to understand what its all about. Trying to dissect the lyrics without the movie will have you going in circles, just watch the movie.

    The first thing you have to realize about Pink Floyd music is that it's not ' groove ' to music and tap your head to the beat like most other music . It's more of sit back and listen and let it take you wherever it goes.

    This is Pink (main, rock star, character of the album/movie, reaching out to anyone who will listen and make a connection and have hope. But the wall of seclusion and apathy he built was too strong for the connections. An epic, operatic album. You should review the movie!

    With Floyd it's generally the studio version that is the most intense and deep. Seeing their live stuff is interesting but it doesn't have the same feel as their polished product.

      @thepawsofdeception6564 Месяц назад

      I'd definitely agree with you that the studio versions of Pink Floyd songs are the best versions (after 1972 anyway) but their later live shows were the most amazing, spectacular shows I've ever experienced. The inflatables, the absolutely giant disco ball, the biggest laser in the world, the Spitfire flying over the audience and crashing into the stage - totally unmatched anywhere by anything!

    The song is from a concept album about a rock star who becomes socially isolated behind a metaphorical wall, resulting basically from childhood trauma. The meaning of "Hey You" represents his futile attempts to reach out to a stranger from behind his wall. After the line "and the worms ate into his brain", the sound that you described as being like mosquitos was actually meant to be blowflies, the maggots of which are the "worms" eating into his brain.

    This was off the wall album. It illustrates a young rock star named Pink. And trying valiantly to get back into society. Pink Floyd always surprises you especially with power ballads like this one. As usual David Gilmour is mesmerizing with his vocals and his omnipresent guitar riffs. Anything that Floyd does is masterful.

    I would like to mention (with life experience guiding me lol)...that Pink Floyd's music isn't for lyrical breakdowns or general understanding. THIS ALBUM IN PARTICULAR had (and has) audiences questioning what the world around us had in store...as seen through the eyes of "Pink". A Rock Star revealing his TRUTH and understanding of the political and socio economic times. (they are a British band btw) And for those who weren't so concerned with all of that business...ITS FKN LEGENDARY GUITAR SOLOS and CUTTING EDGE productions and sounds....were groundbreaking and they sold out arena size concerts AROUND THE WORLD.
    I saved my money to buy the album when released in my town. I knew EVERY WORD and EVERY SOUND of this double vinyl album by the end of that summer. Its forever in my heart. Thanks for listening.

    Hey Mugs. in 1972 when I turned 14, my friends gots me the Dark Side of the Moon album for my bday and Ive been a PF fan ever since. The Wall album is about the wall a person builds around himself to keep himself from getting hurt. So his daddy died in the war, his mama helped him build the wall, The teachers at school told him his poetry was rubbish in front of all the class, his wife cheated on him and so on and so on and everything that happens to him he puts another brick in the wall...so eventually he finds himself alone inside his own wall...now you can understand the words from hey you ...he is trying to reach out to others but his own wall is too high thus the words it was only fantasy, the wall was too high as you can see, no matter how he tried he could not break free... You have to hear the whole album from beginning to end... its a freaking masterpiece. MORE FLOYD!

    You should give Watsky a shot. I think you’d like his stuff.
    Start with something hype like “Pale Kid Raps Fast,” “Whoa, Whoa, Whoa,” or “Aw Sh!t.”
    Then move onto deeper stuff like “Tiny Glowings Screens, Pts 1,2, and 3,” the “Lovely Things Suite,” and “Dreams and Boxes.”
    Then, look up “Going Down.” You’re welcome.
    That’s your curated list. It’s like less than an hour of music, and I consider myself a bit of a Watsky nerd.
    Keep it up, Mugnify. It’s great content. “Hey You” is one of my I Need a Good Cry Right Now™️ songs. So is “Talking to Myself” by Watsky 😎

    The Wallace a concept album. Listening out of order will leave you confused.
    It's like reading a chapter in the middle of a great novel there is no context.
    It's your experience. But I'm sure if you listen do the whole album like we all did from beginning to end you'll enjoy and understand it much more.
    Attended the Wall concert.
    Throughout the whole performance they built a large 30 ft tall wall between the stage and the audience.
    They also had boys chorus, mixed course, Orchestra.
    And each had their own director. It was the largest production of any concert at the time and probably since.

    With the greatest respect, albums such as The Wall are not called ‘concept’ albums for no reason. They tell a story. A huge amount of effort goes into the whole package. Everything from the cover art to the lyrics, the production and the sequence of tracks are all part of the deal. Taking a track out of context would be the same as taking a scene from a play and trying to make sense of that. To fully understand what the band are trying to portray one needs to start from the beginning of side one and play the whole thing in order, and then do it again. Eventually the story will unfold and there would be no need to question what the lyrics are trying to convey.

  • @flubblert

    It is a cry for help. The song comes from Pink Floyd's double album masterpiece "The Wall". It is a concept album that tells the story of a rockstar going slowly insane and losing touch with reality. Building a metaphorical wall between himself and the rest of the world. This is his last cry for help before losing his final grip. Very intense and dark album. To fully appreciate it you must hear it within the context of the album. This song comes in about 2/3 into the tragic story of Pink.
    Nice job. Always try to do the studio versions first for the full sonic and lyrical experience. 👍

  • @jimangela4589
    @jimangela4589 Месяц назад

    The import of "Hey You" really takes some understanding of the whole Pink Floyd discography and "The Wall" in particular. This song has a stand alone quality which is why Waters conceded to Bob Ezrin in moving this track to the beginning of Side 3 of the album. In that way it is easy to find as a single play. And "Comfortably Numb" is a good Side 3 closer. But, here it loses its meaning. Originally, it was placed after "Comfortably Numb" as the last song on Side 3. So, in short here is what is happening. Pink, the main character of the album has supposedly isolated himself off from the outside world both physically and mentally. So by the beginning of Side 3 Pink is all comfortable in his isolation as his brain wanders through different TV shows of his past. Lurking in the back of his mind is his former life as a rock 'n' roll musician (we are channeling Syd Barrett here). A part of his mind wants to free itself from the isolation and enjoy that energy of the stage. His mind conjures up a doctor's visit who gives him some medication to snap out of his lethargy and prepare him to take the stage once again. That's where "Comfortably Numb" ends. "Hey You" is Pink's awakened mind trying to connect with the audience on a personal level before the show where he will metaphorically spit on the audience. Waters is reflecting on his own encounter with the audience in Montreal during the Animals album "In The Flesh Tour". An incident that led to his writing of this album. And an incident that after the fact truly horrified him. Would the audience forgive him and help him carry the burden of that stone around his neck. The stone that would otherwise drown him. This is a direct reference to the song "Dogs" on the "Animals" album. When the burden of taking care of a dog outweighs its usefulness it is simply drowned. Being useless, a rope is attached to a stone around the dogs neck and it is drowned in the nearest river. That's what is going on here and Roger sings that last refrain.

    It's hard to grasp what the song is truly about because it's one chapter of an entire story of a concept album. Most Pink Floyd albums are concept albums and are best listened to in their entirety.

    Roger Waters (bass & vocals) wrote 'The Wall' in 1979 about his own isolation from his band members... his loved ones... his fans... He felt disconnected from everything that should have mattered to him ("The Wall" is a metaphor for something he built to isolate himself from everyone) ... It was fair to say that Roger Waters between 1976 to 1986 was a very difficult personality to work with.
    At the time Waters wrote 'The Wall' ... he wondered about his past and how it shaped the person he became... Being raised without a father (who was killed in Worl War II) by single mom in post-War England... His mom being a very controlling personality... His childhood in Cambridge, going to school and teachers who were supposed to educate them were more interested in making their students as cynical as they were... His friendship w/ Syd Barrett, who would form the Pink Floyd w/ Waters and inspired him to be a musician & songwriter, but he lost Barrett to mental illness and carried on w/ Pink Floyd without him... Waters struggled w/ fame and the more successful Pink Floyd became, the more he seemed to hate it and was known to berate audiences when Pink Floyd performed in concert.
    All these factors were part of 'The Wall'...
    Pink Floyd made a movie 'The Wall' inspired by the record - it was a rather surreal & disturbing depiction of a fictional rock star named 'Pink' who descends into madness at the height of his career and becomes a very totalitarian public figure.

    This is just one small part of the story of The Wall, the story of a Rock Star who struggles with life and feels separated from his fans, and he eventually goes insane.
    Insanity is a subject that Pink Floyd refers to on many songs and albums, stemming from one of the four co-founders and frontman of Pink Floyd in 1964, Syd Barrett.
    Syd Barrett lost his mind from a massive abuse of LSD and other mind-altering drugs that may have led to his debilitating psychosis. Four years later in 1968 Barrett completely unable to function as a person and was forced to leave Pink Floyd.
    David Gilmour, a good friend of the band and Barrett, replaced Syd in Pink Floyd that same year, 1968. He has been with the band ever since.

    this is fictional Rock Star Mr Pink Floyd and side into mental isolation and eventual insanity
    The album covers Pinks life and is a mixture of real life Roger Waters Syd Barrett and quite a bit of fiction.
    For example Rogers Waters father was killed in WW2 while Roger was just a baby but Rogers mother was not the super over protective Mother described in the album. Syd Barrett mental health issues on the other hand are definitely included and expanded.

      @@mojoriot2293 It's 'based' on Roger's life. His father was killed in WWII as a member of the Royal Air Force. The beginning of the album is Roger growing up without his father and what he perceived to be an overbearing mother. The second part, this part, is more his imagination of what his, "Pink's", life has turned into.
      As far as I know, neither Roger nor Syd busted through a hotel window and plunged multiple stories into the pool. But it is possible I guess 😂😂
      Some of their albums, like Wish You Were Here, were about Syd.

    Man, the people recommending you to react to certain Pink Floyd songs, especially stuff from “The Wall,” knowing that you’re going to try to analyze and interpret the meaning of the song, should give you a heads up that these songs are part of a double album length (4 lp sides) concept and you will miss a lot of context and call backs if you’re not listening in order. That said, there are a number of songs on the album that work fine as standalone tracks.

    Man, it's not really possible to understand the meaning of the individual tracks on this album. The whole album is an epic - the story of the boy Pink, from his early youth to adulthood. The songs build on each other not only musically but mainly in terms of meaning. To pick out one track is just a mess for anyone unfamiliar. This album is a MUST(!) to listen to in its entirety and then it is only possible to understand this epic work.

    The Wall is really the life story of Roger Waters up to the time of writing......using the pseudonym of Pink as the main character, himself .
    Life was hard for Roger .....he lost his father at Anzio, WW2 when only 5 months old.
    After the war, poor widows with children were treated as sub human in England....considered an unwanted pestilence by government and the affluent.
    Roger built a mental wall around himself to protect himself from the outside..... government, religion, a hostile society, vicious controlling school teachers and even his own over protective mother.
    To Roger, life and all the above built a wall around him, to trap and enslave him, tell him what to do, enslave him .
    Hey You is Roger connecting with us.....asking us to unite with him to break free.
    Asking us to join him in the fight to achieve our freedom from dictators who order us to conform to their own dictatorial beliefs and lies.
