Roger, if you and David could find some way of putting it all behind you both, and make just one video like this together, it would bring a flood of hope into a world that's sorely lacking it right now.
Over 40 years ago, skipped school with two friends. Smoked pot. One had a boombox and the new Floyd on cassette. Had to listen to it three times that day. Life's never been the same......
40 years 4 months and 21 days for me, made my mum buy me it, got it Christmas day 1979, it had just been released ...I remember putting on my dad's Bang and Olufsen for the very first time... Agreed music was never the same again...
Born in 1969, i have been listening to Roger since I was a very young boy, thanks to my Dad. I still remember when I first heard this age 10, I connected with the words without really understanding or knowing why. Now, in 2023, i understand! It hits like a train and brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, Roger and all! ❤
today the state is literally controlling you, and the worst thing is people and institutions want to control who should live or die, we had the pandemic literally released by someone or some institution that forced us to inject something that perhaps literally cut off our balls
I was 13 when my big cousin gave me the wall on tape, didn’t have a clue what was going on but fell in love with story telling and been a massive fan since that day
Who really cares anymore? Waters is a legend. Gilmour is a legend. Roger has written and created some of the most moving pieces of work ever. David sings and plays the guitar like nobody else ever. They are all facts. Just enjoy it. Life's much better for it 😊
It's not a fucking contest, y'all. Some things don't need to be picked apart and ranked and organized and analyzed over and over and over. This is one area where over-thinking it doesn't matter and, at worst, doesn't yield anything positive. Appreciate each of them and leave it be.
Played this song for my mom. Aged 60. She didn't care much for modern music. But this number went right to her soul. When ya sing from the heart It goes straight to the soul.
when this song was new , in 1982 , your mom was 18 !, modern music ? she grew up with this ! straight off "the Wall" album omg 60 ! you make her sound old doddery with one foot in the ground , me ? i'm 68 , what are you ? like 12 maybe ?
I am 28 and I have to say that I doubt we will ever see genius bands such as Pink Floyd ever again. Life is so "fast" nowadays and pop music sounds the same in order to grab your attention, due to familiarity, in the first few seconds of play. Streaming services such as Spotify have exacerbated the problem.
The two backing singers absolutely nailed it, the tone, the harmony was just perfect. And Roger sounds as good as ever. This bought back memories and so may tears.
It’s my birthday today and ill I can think about with Tears burning my eyes , is my mother who just passed . She was my best friend , she was everything . To everyone out there who is still with their mother , do all that you can to show your love and and build light .
I’m 16 years old, a young french guitarist, a bit lost in his life, and this man and Pink Floyd in general are my only inspiration. Every day I want to be someone like Roger, such a talented writer, like David, such an amazing guitarist. I hope that one day I could see him on stage after all this shit with the virus. Keep rocking Roger, my friend.
I've heard those 3 chords a million times, but when they're played by Roger Waters they're somehow redefined into something else. That's the magic of a great artist.
Used to listen to this song and album on a Walkman up in the attic while smoking cigs, back when I was in high school. I was adopted so I always thought of my birthmom when this song came on and imagined singing it to her…we finally reunited when I was in my mid 30’s. Bitter sweet but we healed each other when we met and are still in touch! This song and album inspired me and helped me make it through my younger years! Roger is truly a brilliant writer and musician, thank you for your art and wisdom!!!
My Dad committed suicide when I was 3... my Step Father left the family when I was 15... The Wall came out when I was 14. So all of it resonated with me then and now... love Roger's solo work too...
She is with you ❤️ 💕 💖 My mum went in 2003 she hasn't left me alone,am 52 now born in 1972....Life can be hard(strength is inside us all to weather life's ups and downs),sometimes life overpowers us but always remember, we are only here for the time we are destined 💙 Enjoy every day because life is Sweet 😋
I'm playing this right now for my son he's 11 hours old I'm in the hospital room with him on my chest . I got one earphone in my ear n the other is next to his . This is the first song he will ever hear. Just like my mother did for me 40 years ago. Love this song n it's always been extremely important to hope he likes it. I'm sure he will. Thank you PINK FLOYD
Great story, glad to hear that some people still have good sense and want to share blast from the past with "our" future generation, thank you and be happy with your son
Sorry I am, I lost my dad some years back, it seems it will always feel like it just happened! But trust you will be glad of it all. Memories God's greatest gift to man. ...
Roger is the man. Roger, Robert, Bob, Mick, Keith, David, Paul, Ringo, Neil, etc. I’m sure glad these guys are still going and always have something new to offer.
I’ve gone past caring about who did and said what , all I know that Roger ,Dave ,Rick and Nick made the world a better place bringing people together and filling their souls with the most beautiful music ever created. I’m so grateful I existed when you guys did , love you all and the world is in debt to you forever ❤️
"I think we did a damn good job on it...sort of lacks soul for me..." -David Gilmour (2004 interview). At large, I'd have to agree. This cut, "the brick," "numb," and "run" are about all I enjoy to be honest from that album. Then again I happen to prefer David's voice over Roger's voice.
Pink floyd will forever be my favorite band ,I first heard them at the age of 12 ,I'm 58 now and still listening to them they are like no other, thank you pink floyd for all these years of great music
Stronger? Uh....no. Case in point: this performance. Telling us about our world? Hahaha. Sounds like a cheesy line in a music magazine 😂 Next you'll be telling us his last solo album was better than DSOTM...
Well, sometimes he fails miserably. On his Instagram, he has a video proudly receiving a gift from Nicolas Maduro. Considering that he had a straight tight with a dictator, the line "Mother should I trust the government" sounds highly hypocritical
What a beautiful sad song. Saw Roger a few nights ago- that man is one of a kind and we are all the more blessed to be a part of his life heart mind talent genius. Still kicks ass!!! 79 years old!!!!
The Wall changed my life. I went out of the cinema totally upside down. The kind of conscience crises that decides you to make a u-turn in your existence.
@@javiercarreto5465 You need a good microphone to get the best recording of a voice. He's not saying Roger is singing well because of the microphone. He's saying the microphone is high enough quality to allow us to hear how truly good Roger is sounding. A crap microphone would miss a lot of nuances. All microphones are NOT the same.
I was 13 and growing up on the beach's of the gulf of Mexico in Florida. My world was water, pretty girls lots of great pot and Rock! Live rock was best. Today I'm 64 and the world is truly mad.
Agreed but we still here to tell the story and observe it all the good bad and ugly The only person you can control is yourself Peace Love and Harmony to us all
June 25, 1977 Cleveland Municipal Stadium Animals tour. Police estimate of 87,000 in an 82,000 seat max capacity. If you were there you know what they did and it cost them $100,000 USD. Wish you were here!
My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. May the memories of your loved one bring you comfort during this time of sorrow...stay strong Brother
Roger Waters, you are a legend! Thank you for staying strong in your lifelong fight against war, the mass killings, including children, and against the world leaders who choose war.
Yes totally. His voice is so much more emotive now. His vocal performance on the “is this the life we really want” album was his best ever in my opinion.
Went to see him in Glasgow, US and Them tour ... Fantastic.. What a show, what a performance from a founding member of Pink Floyd. This version of Mother is superb, great vocals, please keep recording .
First: forgive my bad english, Roger, we love you so, so so much, as every being on Earth should do, (I think), YOU NEVER DIE!!!, IT'S AN ORDER, OK?, 63 years old man from Argentina
The Wall changed my life when I was struggling in high school. It seemed like the only truth I was exposed to. My mother is/was a narcissist, so boy did this song strike a chord. I would listen to the Wall multiple times a day for at least a year straight. The greatest album EVER made. Nothing compares to it.
Near 40 years listening this song and today I had the same impressions from first time. Thank you, to the whole band (Roger, David, Richard, Nick and all the musicians that play his art with you) for every moment you have accompanied me, putting a soundtrack to my whole life. There are no words to say how much you have made me feel and how I feel privileged to have bien able to share a fragment of time with yout art.
I'm just 28 and their albums and music from Syd era through today, is a beautiful creation. Truly a soundtrack to the madness and trials and dont forget HOPE.

Wow...👏👏👏Touching... I'm 13 and When the wall came out I was not yet born ... Listening to one of the most beautiful pieces of this album is really beautiful because I realize that real music will never die.
I'm 14 I'm not saying you should give me attention and yeah me and my friends get high and listen to the wall album all the time there's a reason it's called phycidellic rock
@@BatesonBen Your right! These kids are only opening the door to a far grander music list than what is on the air now! I was born in the early 70's. I had the WHO, Led Zep, Pink Floyd and Jethro to gain inspiration from. I even started my career in drumming due to those folk! Kids, my advice to you. Keep opening doors to all forms of music for inspiration. Even if you do not play any yourself. The messages within the music go farther than anything you will ever know or read about! And you don't need drugs to enjoy it all!
I bought this album the week it came out 40 yrs ago. When I heard this track for the first time, I fell apart. I didn't realize how many emotions I had suppressed for so many years, the way men were taught to do. Anger, resentment, fear and self doubt had led me to cut myself off from most people. Every time I hear it again, I remember what a turning point in my life it was. It gave me a handle on what I was feeling and let me realize that I wasn't the only man to feel this way. From the bottom of my heart, Roger....thank you.
I’m a girl, and I felt all those things too...it was childhood suppression and being helpless in the face of violence, and being smarter then the people around you who were telling you were weren’t. This album literally saved my life.
@@virginiaviola5097 The other song of his that shuts me down is The Final Cut, off the album of the same name. It's just too raw and real.and every time I hear it, I'm taken back to that moment many years ago when I had to decide whether to bring the curtain down or give life one more try. To this day, it still scares me how close we all come sometimes to making the final cut. I sometimes wonder whether Roger Waters realizes just how many lives he's saved or salvaged.
Martin Wilson sweetheart sweetheart, are you fast asleep? Good. Cause that’s the only time that I can really speak to you.......The Final Cut was an album that truly spoke to the bitterness, anger, resentment and pain of a generation who had been duped and abandoned by the Flower Power generation, who all got haircuts and jobs, mortgages, families..and left us with Reagan and Thatcher and their sycophants..Roger stayed angry, God bless him for it. He has never wavered from calling out the hypocrisy of all the shite around us. I love that whole album, The Fletcher Memorial, home for incurable tyrants and kings..man! Although my own personal song has always been Nobody Home, it summed me up to a t then, and still does. Floyd have been part of the soundtrack of my life since Syd’s time, I guess I’m getting on, but they, and specifically Roger, are still right there with us poor lost souls, on our Sisyphean mission of trying to fight the hypocrisy rife in this world. As an addendum, many moons later I cared for returned WW2 servicemen in their dotage, and it was the Angels over Dresden who suffered the most. They didn’t see their war up close and personal until many years later, they shut down.
Martin Wilson in 1983 I did do the final cut..and then came to, blood everywhere, and much to my chagrin, with St Peter waving his pearly fingers at me saying “ you think you can get out of it that easy kid? Then think again, you’ve got stuff to do and lessons to learn, and you’re only going have to come back and start all over again”..and as the first 20 years that I had under my belt had been pretty horrific, the idea of having to go back and start again was a damn fine deterrent from ever trying to skip out early on the party ever again..every birthday up until 42 was a celebration of one year closer to leaving..lol. I’m a bit more chill about it these days, until now, when checking out is forefront of my every waking moment...I guess that’s why I’ve wound up back here. But then, in 1983, it was Roger, Bob Geldof’s brilliant performance as Pink, and The Final Cut..it’s these great musicians and in my case Lennon and Bowie too, who keep those of us who from childhood have wondered how the f*ck did we wind up here on the completely wrong planet staying the course.
@@virginiaviola5097 A rocky road to redemption, to be sure. We keep putting one foot in front of the next, not because of our "Possible Pasts", but rather in spite of them. If there is one thing that I've learned from my plethora of mistakes and errors over the years is that we are on this planet completely alone.....together.
Can't believe a year has passed. This is one of my favorite musical performances ever. The underlying organ part is breathtaking. When the angels start singing it bring a tear to my eye. The solo is filled with emotion. Peace and love.
I'm pretty old at 14 and I thought I knew them all until now. This is the first time I've ever heard of Walter Rogers, he is a great singer. The 1 called Mother is really a good song pity pit he won't do a rap version of it now that will be dope if he did.
I was 2 years old when my “Mother” took me to see the “Atom Heart Mother” tour. My life has so been enriched by your music Sir. Roger! Thank you from the bottom of my heart👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰

Jane Doe My mother took me. I remember bubbles and a light show. But to my two year old mind I saw fish on the walls and the bubbles had me thinking we were under water. I kept telling my mother to “look at the fishes!” She tried to explain it was just lights and I did not believe her. To me we were in an octopus’s garden. I think they played “Money” even though it hadn’t been released yet. But, I could have mixed this detail up with my toddler memories. I had a little toy cash register and loved the sound the register made and after the concert, the register became my favorite toy. Or, maybe it was after Dark Side was released that I became obsessed with that toy. My parents took me to tons of concerts growing up. That was my first. Later would be Airplane, Dead, The Tubes, The Beach Boys, Doobie Brothers and others. It was a magical time to be a child of flower children.☮️
In 1979, I turned 14 years old. I was quickly growing out of my collection of KISS albums. I went into the local JCPenny's in my hometown and bought The Wall. At the time, the only song I knew from it was Another Brick in the Wall which played on my small town's only rock station. It took me a little while to realize the album was a story into the mind of a rock star named Pink. I remember putting my Radio Shack headphones on and laying in my room with the lights out while the two vinyl records took me places I never even knew existed. I still have the album with me to this day. I just wanted to thank Roger for giving me the key to other places. Peace to all who take the time to read this comment.
ich bin 1964 in Ostberlin zur Welt gekommen und bin mit „The Dark Side of the Moon“ Pink Floyd Fan geworden ( meine Schwester arbeitete bei der Amiga und konnte mir die Platte besorgen) … als „The Wall“ kam habe ich die Platte nicht bekommen … ich habe sie mit einem Kassettenrekorder mühsam über Monate im Radio aufgenommen (DT 64) … für mich war the Wall immer eine Anklage des Kapitalismus und heute nach vielen Jahren nach der Wende hat sich alles bestätigt … Danke Roger
Всё началось примерно 25 лет назад. Я был младшим школьником. Когда гостил у дедушки, он ставил мне пластинки разных зарубежных групп. Было много разной музыки, но я тогда особенно не обращал внимания и не понимал ее. Дедушка немного рассказывал что за группы и откуда у него пластинки и одно название - Пинк Флойд- въелось под корку. Позднее, уже с появлением интернета я стал интересоваться, что же это такое, Пинк Флойд. Теперь у меня есть вся их дискография на CD и я не могу представить и дня без их музыки.
I have to watch it again for the 100th time because I keep forgetting about that FULL screen thing…😂 Now I have to watch it again because I typed this message during it.
@@stefanoferlaino1895 I don't think it will happen with this latest feud but who knows. Something really sent David off the edge. I know Wright's death really took the joy out of performing Floyd songs any more.
This is my favourite version of Mother. The two girls singing give me goosebumps. I don't think I have ever heard two voices mesh so well together. Whenever I need a pick-me-up I watch this video and smile.
Avrei troppo da dire, il tempo, questo trucco inventato dall'uomo, impedisce di esprimere tutta la meraviglia di condividere un pianeta con gente così grande, un abbraccio Roger.
I play this song at my school I'm the first vocal and everybody laughs and cheers when i say the line "Mother should i run for president" it felt really amazing
This is the song that made me fall in love with Pink Floyd. The Wall is my favorite album of all time. Such a great Sunday gift Roger and his band gave us!
Nathan Lewis My son’s in the same boat. Still finishing school, but stuck inside like everyone else who has a brain. I feel so sorry for this year’s seniors, both high school and college.
"Mother" is one of those songs that just grabs you and makes you feel something. First time I heard it, I had to re-listen because I was in tears the first time. THANK YOU Mr. Waters for sharing this version. I love it! And yes, it still tugs at my heart.
@@lucianobarbetta5587 It feeds some 'souls' differently. I was just remembering a time in High School where me and a friend (who turned out to be a racist) were listening to The Wall. When it got to the 'up against the Wall' part, my friend said "Hey... I like this." thinking it was a celebration of hate (he didn't know it was making fun of him). Max is one of those post-Waters 'fans' who aren't really fans at all... but political conservatives who use Pink Floyd as a forum in which to hate Roger Waters (so they LOVE Dave Gilmour). And BTW, I love Gilmour too (but not simply to stick it to Waters!)!
It made me cry, it always makes me cry, but this time, it made me shed tears because of the social distancing recording, the new reality we are living, the new normal, the way I, same as 7.8 million people are dealing with this catastrophe. Bless you all, Roger, the band, people out there, bless you all, and Godspeed
The two backup female singers did not grow up when this album came out, but they know it, and damn well. The magic of their music is continuing on to younger generations. That is an awesome legacy!
Jon Carin is a total legend! Playing for both David and Roger in their respective tours or albums..one of the best session musicians out there for years and years now...Cheers to you mr Carin! Love from Greece
@@GlennFeitelson Jon is a monster. Like, the re-encarnation of Mr. Wright's sound. He may be playing a discrete part in this song, but I think he's one of the few musicians who have a real deep grasp of what Pink Floyd was about, musically.
As a 14 year old, when I first got into the Floyd, they became everything to me. They weren't a pop band or a rock band, they were THE band. They were, I thought, enlightened beyond anything I had known before. They weren't like anyone else. When they split, they just didn't split themselves they broke all of us. I put them on a pedestal and they knocked themselves off it. So, like all right minded people, we looked elsewhere for the magic we had lost. I'm sure everyone has found nuggets of gold out there? I found plenty but I still wonder what could have been? The best concert I've been to in the last 30 years?. Nick Mason and his Saucerful of Secrets, that's what. Because I still love the floyd and always will. It's just so shite that it went the way it did. It doesn't invalidate the music. Just leaves millions of people a bit less happy than they once were. Still, I like this version of mother so thanks for that. ps. Pros and Cons is still one of my all time fave albums. I'm 53 now by the way so this has burnt bright for quite a while. Just saying :)
♡ beauty doesn't last forever. Enjoy everything in it's time my friend, I'm glad you did. I follow a band called Greta Van Fleet around the US. Maybe you could try checking them out? They're definitely not the same lol, and I'm not comparing them (don't roast me people!). I'm just recommending a current band I enjoy who also sings about deeper political issues and finding love and light along with some rock and roll jams.
The Wall is a MASTERPIECE when I think of Pink Floyd I think of Roger Waters captivating voice singing on that Album. His voice is so dramatic and theatrical its unique.
@@katoness - The Chinese have a saying...he who does not trust enough will never be trusted. In our modern world as it pertains to the delivery of services and goods you don't get to opt out. Some big organization is going to provide you with your needs. The question is, is it socialism or capitalism?
This version of mother is beautiful. I really enjoy listening to the young ladies. Their voices are angelic. In fact the entire band is also quite amazing. The guitarests and drummers included. I am now putting together a piano arrangememt of this song. Thank you very much Mr. Roger Waters. You and Mr. David Gilmour are musical legends. God Bless All of You.
Rob Summers it depends do u like the theatrical lyrical side of Pink Floyd or the spacey musical atmosphere side of Pink Floyd. Personally My ear likes the music cause it’s brain food but artistically my mind likes breaking down the themes and lyrics.
Sailing Sunbird they were all together dynamically beautiful. Waters and Gilmour, despite their differences, created magic. Both of them together created something so utterly unique that it’s not there when they’re solo.
This song is a work of art in every way: melody, lyrics, arrangements, vocals and etc... I always get goosebumps when I hear it, ever since I was a teenager... Roger, your voice is sensational, it's like a fine wine...
I'm 51 and this has been one of my favorite song since I was a teenager. I also admirer Roger for being such a great activist, if only more famous people had the backbone to do the same. ✌🏽🖤🌎
In 1987, I was in college and one of my best memories was me and my roommates rented the movie The Wall and bought a bunch of Captain Morgan. We got drunk while watching that crazy movie. What a trip. I will never forget it. Thank you.
Speaking of trip, 1981 or so when the animated movie was first released into theaters there was a midnight showing at the local theater so me and 2 friends made plans to go and we dropped acid around 10pm but 1 of my friends got his ass kicked about 30 minutes before we went to the theater, had a swollen eye the size of a golf ball and he tried to bail but me & my other friend carried him to the theater with his arms over each of our shoulders and to our shock there was a cop standing next to the girl selling tickets to the show. Needless to say I didn't miss the show.
Did the same thing with a bunch of friends in the late 80s instead of rum we all ate a bunch of shrooms. Talk about a life altering experience. Got a small peek into the inner workings of the universe that night (and many, many more after that)!!
There is nothing better on earth in history or in the future than this performance. I cried. Thank you Roger for this. You have no idea what this means to all of us.
My favorite song off The Wall. Bought the album when it first came out, bought the cassette tape for the car, and when the brand new compact disk format came out I was in Japan and waited in line to get it. The whole album was mind blowing at the time and their stadium concert was off the charts amazing. I really miss bands like this.
Roger, if you and David could find some way of putting it all behind you both, and make just one video like this together, it would bring a flood of hope into a world that's sorely lacking it right now.
Roger is a narcissist and David can't stand him..
Mike Beebe please put things behind.....
Amen.

Yeah, i remember it was played often at my high school. Even the teachers were influenced by it
Where has the forty years gone friends? Just bought The Wall Immersion Box Set. Mother....
I still have the vinal with resin stains in the crease. Good times!
Born in 1969, i have been listening to Roger since I was a very young boy, thanks to my Dad. I still remember when I first heard this age 10, I connected with the words without really understanding or knowing why. Now, in 2023, i understand! It hits like a train and brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, Roger and all! ❤
‘68 here. Thankful for older brothers and musicians for parents. I had an appreciation for music from the 40s through current.
I was born in 69 too. I feel the same way. This song moves me like no other. Thank you Pink Floyd. 🎭

52 now and like you 10 12 yrs old we just clicked for some reason unknown then but gradually it all made perfect sense ❤ keep listening brother
I was 13 when my big cousin gave me the wall on tape, didn’t have a clue what was going on but fell in love with story telling and been a massive fan since that day
Who really cares anymore? Waters is a legend. Gilmour is a legend. Roger has written and created some of the most moving pieces of work ever. David sings and plays the guitar like nobody else ever. They are all facts. Just enjoy it. Life's much better for it 😊
Exactly that's what I wish both of them would see and get back together before they 💀🥀
You are right ❤️
Yep. Roger is the SOUL. David is the sprinkling of icing on top. :)
It's not a fucking contest, y'all. Some things don't need to be picked apart and ranked and organized and analyzed over and over and over. This is one area where over-thinking it doesn't matter and, at worst, doesn't yield anything positive. Appreciate each of them and leave it be.
Waters killed Floyd, Dave built the wall... Like a war, all wars come to an end.."lest we forget".
"We should do this again, right? right !? rightt?!!?!"
YES PLEASE!
Fuck me! Yes yes!!
PLEASE!

I am thirteen and have been listening for a year now and I hope I will be listening for as long as yall
Played this song for my mom. Aged 60. She didn't care much for modern music. But this number went right to her soul. When ya sing from the heart
It goes straight to the soul.
Such a beautiful song with profound words that touch the heart
So true... very right
when this song was new , in 1982 , your mom was 18 !, modern music ? she grew up with this ! straight off "the Wall" album omg 60 ! you make her sound old doddery with one foot in the ground , me ? i'm 68 , what are you ? like 12 maybe ?
@@phillcc8524 song came out in 1979. I was 19. My mother was 43. I'm 63. My mother was 60 when she first heard it. Much love.
This man is next year 80. What a legend. I miss these genious groups as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Queen and so on.
I am 28 and I have to say that I doubt we will ever see genius bands such as Pink Floyd ever again. Life is so "fast" nowadays and pop music sounds the same in order to grab your attention, due to familiarity, in the first few seconds of play. Streaming services such as Spotify have exacerbated the problem.

The two backing singers absolutely nailed it, the tone, the harmony was just perfect. And Roger sounds as good as ever. This bought back memories and so may tears.
Backing singers are Jess and Holly, AKA Lucius, a fine band!
Lucius!
Song is so powerful to begin with and those two women take it too a whole new level
@@tommythomson4550 thank you for this they’re good
No one does it like Katie.
I lost my mom one month ago, they took her away with an ambulance, I could no longer say goodbye, I never saw her again.
Thank you Mr. Waters
Sorry for your loss Maria
To David:
- Thank you
@@daveb5892 Thank you
This song is about a narcissistic domineering mother.
Sorry for your loss. RIP👼🏻❤️🙏🏻
It’s my birthday today and ill I can think about with Tears burning my eyes , is my mother who just passed . She was my best friend , she was everything . To everyone out there who is still with their mother , do all that you can to show your love and and build light .

This song is about a narcissistic domineering mother you absolute plum.

I’m 16 years old, a young french guitarist, a bit lost in his life, and this man and Pink Floyd in general are my only inspiration. Every day I want to be someone like Roger, such a talented writer, like David, such an amazing guitarist.
I hope that one day I could see him on stage after all this shit with the virus.
Keep rocking Roger, my friend.

@@wolfgangmotzafi-haller9805 oh man... it touches me very much. I would love it and I’m always thinking about it.
Welcome to the club . . . I joined at your age . . . I am now 53.
I've heard those 3 chords a million times, but when they're played by Roger Waters they're somehow redefined into something else. That's the magic of a great artist.
Absolutely, I also love the Waltz 3/4 tempo,it gives the song that special quality that makes you want to sing along 👍
Its because he can touch your soul my friend, unlike most others. Brilliance.
Baa, I can play exactly as he does, and I'm not even good. Freaking easy to play and the special sound comes from very easy hammer-downs.
@@freedom281 Yeah...right
How about Shine on when Dave plays bah bah ba bahhh. However this is lovely, no doubt about it?
Used to listen to this song and album on a Walkman up in the attic while smoking cigs, back when I was in high school. I was adopted so I always thought of my birthmom when this song came on and imagined singing it to her…we finally reunited when I was in my mid 30’s. Bitter sweet but we healed each other when we met and are still in touch! This song and album inspired me and helped me make it through my younger years! Roger is truly a brilliant writer and musician, thank you for your art and wisdom!!!
Me to, except my Mother passed away before I got to meet her.
@@mccauleyprop feel for you but you have a mother that adopted you and who knows one day youwill meet yours and understand everything! Love
My Dad committed suicide when I was 3... my Step Father left the family when I was 15... The Wall came out when I was 14. So all of it resonated with me then and now... love Roger's solo work too...
@@dmay1966 I WILL PRAY FOR YOU. GOD BLESS YOU AND BE WITH YOU.

I'm playing this right now for my son he's 11 hours old I'm in the hospital room with him on my chest . I got one earphone in my ear n the other is next to his . This is the first song he will ever hear. Just like my mother did for me 40 years ago. Love this song n it's always been extremely important to hope he likes it. I'm sure he will. Thank you PINK FLOYD

Roger has been telling us for over 50 years about our world. And his voice just gets stronger with age.
Stronger? Uh....no. Case in point: this performance. Telling us about our world? Hahaha. Sounds like a cheesy line in a music magazine 😂 Next you'll be telling us his last solo album was better than DSOTM...
Lawrence Taylor are you tripping?
Well, sometimes he fails miserably.
On his Instagram, he has a video proudly receiving a gift from Nicolas Maduro. Considering that he had a straight tight with a dictator, the line "Mother should I trust the government" sounds highly hypocritical
Looney tunes ... Gilmour ran for the hills and never looked back
His voice is far from strong.
What a beautiful sad song. Saw Roger a few nights ago- that man is one of a kind and we are all the more blessed to be a part of his life heart mind talent genius. Still kicks ass!!! 79 years old!!!!
Best in The world😀

Yes totally. His voice is so much more emotive now. His vocal performance on the “is this the life we really want” album was his best ever in my opinion.
Went to see him in Glasgow, US and Them tour ... Fantastic.. What a show, what a performance from a founding member of Pink Floyd. This version of Mother is superb, great vocals, please keep recording .

Exactly...
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, just plain and simple lyrics, genius.
Yeah, this song is great, and quite deep. One of the best from "the Wall" album.
The Wall changed my life when I was struggling in high school. It seemed like the only truth I was exposed to. My mother is/was a narcissist, so boy did this song strike a chord. I would listen to the Wall multiple times a day for at least a year straight. The greatest album EVER made. Nothing compares to it.
Right now i am in high school and i agree with everything you said
same here! still in high school
Damm, man. The Wall changed my life too. Im listening that album everyday for 3 years. And "Mother" is definitely song about my mother too.
Wish you were Here
In the "concept album" category, totally agreed.
Near 40 years listening this song and today I had the same impressions from first time. Thank you, to the whole band (Roger, David, Richard, Nick and all the musicians that play his art with you) for every moment you have accompanied me, putting a soundtrack to my whole life. There are no words to say how much you have made me feel and how I feel privileged to have bien able to share a fragment of time with yout art.
Dont forget Syd
I'm just 28 and their albums and music from Syd era through today, is a beautiful creation. Truly a soundtrack to the madness and trials and dont forget HOPE.
@@Jordan-rb28 clicked on this comment to say exactly what you just said and that without Syd, there might not ever been Pink Floyd.

@@BatesonBen Your right! These kids are only opening the door to a far grander music list than what is on the air now! I was born in the early 70's. I had the WHO, Led Zep, Pink Floyd and Jethro to gain inspiration from. I even started my career in drumming due to those folk! Kids, my advice to you. Keep opening doors to all forms of music for inspiration. Even if you do not play any yourself. The messages within the music go farther than anything you will ever know or read about! And you don't need drugs to enjoy it all!
@@BatesonBen I've heard the whole album at least 16 time
Roger, still cool at the age of 75.
He got cooler with age
he actually is the coolest person alive
I concur. Would be cool to jam with cats like him for sure.
Gonna be 77 in a couple of months. Born: September 6, 1943
I mean he's Roger Waters so... Yea
Damn, those girls were in perfectly synced together. Absolutely beautiful.
I bought this album the week it came out 40 yrs ago. When I heard this track for the first time, I fell apart. I didn't realize how many emotions I had suppressed for so many years, the way men were taught to do. Anger, resentment, fear and self doubt had led me to cut myself off from most people. Every time I hear it again, I remember what a turning point in my life it was. It gave me a handle on what I was feeling and let me realize that I wasn't the only man to feel this way. From the bottom of my heart, Roger....thank you.
I’m a girl, and I felt all those things too...it was childhood suppression and being helpless in the face of violence, and being smarter then the people around you who were telling you were weren’t. This album literally saved my life.
@@virginiaviola5097 The other song of his that shuts me down is The Final Cut, off the album of the same name. It's just too raw and real.and every time I hear it, I'm taken back to that moment many years ago when I had to decide whether to bring the curtain down or give life one more try. To this day, it still scares me how close we all come sometimes to making the final cut. I sometimes wonder whether Roger Waters realizes just how many lives he's saved or salvaged.
Martin Wilson sweetheart sweetheart, are you fast asleep? Good. Cause that’s the only time that I can really speak to you.......The Final Cut was an album that truly spoke to the bitterness, anger, resentment and pain of a generation who had been duped and abandoned by the Flower Power generation, who all got haircuts and jobs, mortgages, families..and left us with Reagan and Thatcher and their sycophants..Roger stayed angry, God bless him for it. He has never wavered from calling out the hypocrisy of all the shite around us. I love that whole album, The Fletcher Memorial, home for incurable tyrants and kings..man! Although my own personal song has always been Nobody Home, it summed me up to a t then, and still does. Floyd have been part of the soundtrack of my life since Syd’s time, I guess I’m getting on, but they, and specifically Roger, are still right there with us poor lost souls, on our Sisyphean mission of trying to fight the hypocrisy rife in this world.
As an addendum, many moons later I cared for returned WW2 servicemen in their dotage, and it was the Angels over Dresden who suffered the most. They didn’t see their war up close and personal until many years later, they shut down.
Martin Wilson in 1983 I did do the final cut..and then came to, blood everywhere, and much to my chagrin, with St Peter waving his pearly fingers at me saying “ you think you can get out of it that easy kid? Then think again, you’ve got stuff to do and lessons to learn, and you’re only going have to come back and start all over again”..and as the first 20 years that I had under my belt had been pretty horrific, the idea of having to go back and start again was a damn fine deterrent from ever trying to skip out early on the party ever again..every birthday up until 42 was a celebration of one year closer to leaving..lol. I’m a bit more chill about it these days, until now, when checking out is forefront of my every waking moment...I guess that’s why I’ve wound up back here. But then, in 1983, it was Roger, Bob Geldof’s brilliant performance as Pink, and The Final Cut..it’s these great musicians and in my case Lennon and Bowie too, who keep those of us who from childhood have wondered how the f*ck did we wind up here on the completely wrong planet staying the course.
@@virginiaviola5097 A rocky road to redemption, to be sure. We keep putting one foot in front of the next, not because of our "Possible Pasts", but rather in spite of them. If there is one thing that I've learned from my plethora of mistakes and errors over the years is that we are on this planet completely alone.....together.
Can't believe a year has passed. This is one of my favorite musical performances ever. The underlying organ part is breathtaking. When the angels start singing it bring a tear to my eye. The solo is filled with emotion. Peace and love.
You should listen to the Original ;)
Personally, I like this version a lot better than the original. It is almost identical, a true masterpiece!
@@PeacefulCountryLife Yeah the original is good, but the one performed by Sinéad O'Connor with The Band ... That one is the absolute best!
I'm pretty old at 14 and I thought I knew them all until now. This is the first time I've ever heard of Walter Rogers, he is a great singer. The 1 called Mother is really a good song pity pit he won't do a rap version of it now that will be dope if he did.
Beautiful song ❤

You were at a concert at 2 years old? Dayum.
Jane Doe Yes... here it is ruclips.net/video/M7OMY42RSuQ/видео.html
Jane Doe My mother took me. I remember bubbles and a light show. But to my two year old mind I saw fish on the walls and the bubbles had me thinking we were under water. I kept telling my mother to “look at the fishes!” She tried to explain it was just lights and I did not believe her. To me we were in an octopus’s garden. I think they played “Money” even though it hadn’t been released yet. But, I could have mixed this detail up with my toddler memories. I had a little toy cash register and loved the sound the register made and after the concert, the register became my favorite toy. Or, maybe it was after Dark Side was released that I became obsessed with that toy. My parents took me to tons of concerts growing up. That was my first. Later would be Airplane, Dead, The Tubes, The Beach Boys, Doobie Brothers and others. It was a magical time to be a child of flower children.☮️
a VASTLY underrated album... I don't care what David and Roger say... :)

Idem
Roger is a narcissistic psychopath
In 1979, I turned 14 years old. I was quickly growing out of my collection of KISS albums. I went into the local JCPenny's in my hometown and bought The Wall. At the time, the only song I knew from it was Another Brick in the Wall which played on my small town's only rock station. It took me a little while to realize the album was a story into the mind of a rock star named Pink. I remember putting my Radio Shack headphones on and laying in my room with the lights out while the two vinyl records took me places I never even knew existed. I still have the album with me to this day. I just wanted to thank Roger for giving me the key to other places. Peace to all who take the time to read this comment.
Peace to u I totally understand ☮️
ich bin 1964 in Ostberlin zur Welt gekommen und bin mit „The Dark Side of the Moon“ Pink Floyd Fan geworden ( meine Schwester arbeitete bei der Amiga und konnte mir die Platte besorgen) … als „The Wall“ kam habe ich die Platte nicht bekommen … ich habe sie mit einem Kassettenrekorder mühsam über Monate im Radio aufgenommen (DT 64) … für mich war the Wall immer eine Anklage des Kapitalismus und heute nach vielen Jahren nach der Wende hat sich alles bestätigt … Danke Roger

@@emes882 : Kennen Sie den Film "the Wall", 1982 von Alan Parker?
Слов нет. Можно слушать бесконечно. С годами открываются новые впечатления от прослушанных композиций. Музыка навека
Всё началось примерно 25 лет назад. Я был младшим школьником. Когда гостил у дедушки, он ставил мне пластинки разных зарубежных групп. Было много разной музыки, но я тогда особенно не обращал внимания и не понимал ее. Дедушка немного рассказывал что за группы и откуда у него пластинки и одно название - Пинк Флойд- въелось под корку.
Позднее, уже с появлением интернета я стал интересоваться, что же это такое, Пинк Флойд. Теперь у меня есть вся их дискография на CD и я не могу представить и дня без их музыки.

This is my favourite version of Mother. The two girls singing give me goosebumps. I don't think I have ever heard two voices mesh so well together. Whenever I need a pick-me-up I watch this video and smile.
You should see them both performing "Great Gig in the Sky" on the "Them and US" Concert - They sing it simultanously and that is really amazing.

This is the song that made me fall in love with Pink Floyd. The Wall is my favorite album of all time. Such a great Sunday gift Roger and his band gave us!
Pink Floyd mate, not his band they were all crucial in every part of that album!!!!
@@kokothegreat5583 I think the comment's talking about the guys who recorded this video

me too

This message hits home hard during covid, esp. for a young person who’s trying to jumpstart a career and leave home.
Hope you do, buddy. I kinda tried explaining to my dad why i need to, turns out he ain't that happy. *sigh*
Salman Mazumder Salman, thanks! Might I suggest Young Lust to jumpstart your transition!
Nathan Lewis My son’s in the same boat. Still finishing school, but stuck inside like everyone else who has a brain. I feel so sorry for this year’s seniors, both high school and college.
Amy B I feel sorry for graduates too
Long live Mr. Rebellion Roger Waters...
"Mother should I trust the Government ? "
Confie na ciência!
No fucking way!
"RESIST"✊🏼
Is it just a waste of time
@Hingle McCringleberry if I may ask? why do you think he's a self centred prick?
@@Lonewolf_rider because he is?
"Mother" is one of those songs that just grabs you and makes you feel something. First time I heard it, I had to re-listen because I was in tears the first time. THANK YOU Mr. Waters for sharing this version. I love it! And yes, it still tugs at my heart.
you have a weird name. lol. do you know the meaning of it.
Thank you Roger. This song is timeless. Beautiful rendition by the entire crew on this video, including those behind the scenes.
Roger we are almost the same age, I see in you the artist who truly represents what it means to be ARTIST
Ok boomer

@@lucianobarbetta5587 Max is a pseudo-intellectual troll and Roger Waters hater.
The Hermit 🤗 thanks for the information, however I fed very well my soul listening Roger and the group
@@lucianobarbetta5587 It feeds some 'souls' differently. I was just remembering a time in High School where me and a friend (who turned out to be a racist) were listening to The Wall. When it got to the 'up against the Wall' part, my friend said "Hey... I like this." thinking it was a celebration of hate (he didn't know it was making fun of him).
Max is one of those post-Waters 'fans' who aren't really fans at all... but political conservatives who use Pink Floyd as a forum in which to hate Roger Waters (so they LOVE Dave Gilmour). And BTW, I love Gilmour too (but not simply to stick it to Waters!)!

@@dimavera7283 wondering, which of the buggers to blame....
It made me cry, it always makes me cry, but this time, it made me shed tears because of the social distancing recording, the new reality we are living, the new normal, the way I, same as 7.8 million people are dealing with this catastrophe. Bless you all, Roger, the band, people out there, bless you all, and Godspeed
This is not the new normal.
@@CristiNeagu Well, you are experiencing what is called Normalcy Bias, because it is
@@JuanZavaleta I don't think you know what normalcy bias means... I suggest you go look it up first.
Wake the fuck up. Fear and despair are exactly where they want you.
Happy Mother's DAY
Sir Roger Waters 🙏
🇵🇭
Yes Sir!
The two backup female singers did not grow up when this album came out, but they know it, and damn well. The magic of their music is continuing on to younger generations. That is an awesome legacy!
They're the singers from Lucius! Brilliant band in their own right!
Probably cos Rog said “Hey, learn this song we’re doing it next week”. I don’t think they are just random people.
🎶 Dusty trails can lead you to a golden road!🎶
Jon Carin is a total legend! Playing for both David and Roger in their respective tours or albums..one of the best session musicians out there for years and years now...Cheers to you mr Carin! Love from Greece
That dude is everywhere hahaha pink floyd, david and roger
Si señor! yo creo que se podría decir que ya es uno más de ellos. Impecable Carin.
So close to such genius for so long.
@@GlennFeitelson Jon is a monster. Like, the re-encarnation of Mr. Wright's sound. He may be playing a discrete part in this song, but I think he's one of the few musicians who have a real deep grasp of what Pink Floyd was about, musically.
So lucky man.
As a 14 year old, when I first got into the Floyd, they became everything to me. They weren't a pop band or a rock band, they were THE band. They were, I thought, enlightened beyond anything I had known before. They weren't like anyone else. When they split, they just didn't split themselves they broke all of us. I put them on a pedestal and they knocked themselves off it. So, like all right minded people, we looked elsewhere for the magic we had lost. I'm sure everyone has found nuggets of gold out there? I found plenty but I still wonder what could have been? The best concert I've been to in the last 30 years?. Nick Mason and his Saucerful of Secrets, that's what. Because I still love the floyd and always will. It's just so shite that it went the way it did. It doesn't invalidate the music. Just leaves millions of people a bit less happy than they once were. Still, I like this version of mother so thanks for that. ps. Pros and Cons is still one of my all time fave albums. I'm 53 now by the way so this has burnt bright for quite a while. Just saying :)
I agree Pink Floyd are really THE BAND
@@stefanpangerl3937 Wouldnt The Band technically be The Band as they are so aptly named?
♡ beauty doesn't last forever. Enjoy everything in it's time my friend, I'm glad you did. I follow a band called Greta Van Fleet around the US. Maybe you could try checking them out? They're definitely not the same lol, and I'm not comparing them (don't roast me people!). I'm just recommending a current band I enjoy who also sings about deeper political issues and finding love and light along with some rock and roll jams.
@@F-Tier_Physique the truth looks like the truth until it turns around😂 .. I love The Band haha just messing around
Thanks for writing my lines.
The Wall is a MASTERPIECE when I think of Pink Floyd I think of Roger Waters captivating voice singing on that Album. His voice is so dramatic and theatrical its unique.
"Mother should I trust the government". Unfortunately far too many people do.
But Trump's gone. Now we are safe in the arms of big brother.
Would you rather trust big business?
@@Phucdis I don't trust any of them.
@@katoness - The Chinese have a saying...he who does not trust enough will never be trusted. In our modern world as it pertains to the delivery of services and goods you don't get to opt out. Some big organization is going to provide you with your needs. The question is, is it socialism or capitalism?
"no fucking way"
At least Roger is giving a little something back during this COVID nightmare. I'm grateful for that.
Amen to that Brother
It's like the album was written knowing what was coming...
the roger waters reactions to “breaking balls” and “trusting the government,” were priceless and worth the price of admission...😂
yes, it made me laugh.
ABSOLUTELY!
Agreed
🗿
@ TheMrt39 - More like don’t be hoodwinked by your absolute bullshit!! 😂😂😂😂
This version of mother is beautiful. I really enjoy listening to the young ladies. Their voices are angelic.
In fact the entire band is also quite amazing. The guitarests and drummers included.
I am now putting together a piano arrangememt of this song.
Thank you very much Mr. Roger Waters. You and Mr. David Gilmour are musical legends.
God Bless All of You.
It’s just so so gorgeous and brings out all the emotions and nostalgia in my bones. Pure perfection. ✌️
Roger Waters is a genius and this is one of his best songs.
@@sailingsunbird5080 Lyrics and Concept by Roger Waters!

@@sailingsunbird5080 go away you silly little troll.
Waters was Floyd ✌️
Rob Summers it depends do u like the theatrical lyrical side of Pink Floyd or the spacey musical atmosphere side of Pink Floyd. Personally My ear likes the music cause it’s brain food but artistically my mind likes breaking down the themes and lyrics.
Sailing Sunbird they were all together dynamically beautiful. Waters and Gilmour, despite their differences, created magic. Both of them together created something so utterly unique that it’s not there when they’re solo.
I got an ad for Candy Crush in the middle of this song. That's a crime against humanity
I got an ad for Chime bank in the middle. Killing the vibes
Agreed. Same Happened to me in Another yesterday. Absolute Sacrilege!!!!
Haha you bet
I got an ad for a car.

One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. This version is incredible. Adding the female vocalists pushes this thing over the top.
Мr. WАTERS💖 БРАВО!!!! ЗДОРОВЬЯ!!!!
TOTAL INDEED
And kind of an asshole. But hey many geniuses are
Its really something isn't it
This song gets me EVERY time.
This song is a work of art in every way: melody, lyrics, arrangements, vocals and etc... I always get goosebumps when I hear it, ever since I was a teenager... Roger, your voice is sensational, it's like a fine wine...
I'm 51 and this has been one of my favorite song since I was a teenager. I also admirer Roger for being such a great activist, if only more famous people had the backbone to do the same. ✌🏽🖤🌎
In 1987, I was in college and one of my best memories was me and my roommates rented the movie The Wall and bought a bunch of Captain Morgan. We got drunk while watching that crazy movie. What a trip. I will never forget it. Thank you.
Speaking of trip, 1981 or so when the animated movie was first released into theaters there was a midnight showing at the local theater so me and 2 friends made plans to go and we dropped acid around 10pm but 1 of my friends got his ass kicked about 30 minutes before we went to the theater, had a swollen eye the size of a golf ball and he tried to bail but me & my other friend carried him to the theater with his arms over each of our shoulders and to our shock there was a cop standing next to the girl selling tickets to the show. Needless to say I didn't miss the show.
Did the same thing with a bunch of friends in the late 80s instead of rum we all ate a bunch of shrooms. Talk about a life altering experience. Got a small peek into the inner workings of the universe that night (and many, many more after that)!!
You should try watching it on magic mushrooms....lots of fun!
I do not recommend trying on psyches....😉
No one ever forgets the first time they watched The Wall. 👍👍👍
My skin aaaalllways ripples when the part “of course mother. is going to help you build the wall”. Beautiful
Roger babanın o gitar çalan ellerini bir papa ya duyulan saygıyla öperim buna değer.
Absolutely brilliant. The 2 female backing singers are amazing.
They really are. ilovelucius on IG.
Their voices and singing together is incrediable!!!.....Absolutely brilliant!!!!!....
@Steven Jones Don't worry, son. I used to not get laid too. You'll figure it out.
Penélope Cruz???
Nice
There is nothing better on earth in history or in the future than this performance. I cried. Thank you Roger for this. You have no idea what this means to all of us.
My favorite song off The Wall. Bought the album when it first came out, bought the cassette tape for the car, and when the brand new compact disk format came out I was in Japan and waited in line to get it. The whole album was mind blowing at the time and their stadium concert was off the charts amazing. I really miss bands like this.
Man, the trial
So beautiful in tears the whole time , my favorite song and I just lost my beloved mom . God bless everyone who feels pain in this world !
