The Wall is a concept album. This song has a place in the whole story of the album. At this stage in the album, the protagonist has been destroyed and is starting to pick up the pieces of the person he really is. Not a Rock star, not controlled by all sorts of people from his past, but just raw emotions of who he he is outside of The Wall.
I remember when this Album came out... It was sold out everywhere for weeks. Younger people today don't know what it was like... to have a 2 vinyl record album... it was like 16" square and opened up, usually with pictures inside, some had the lyrics to all the songs inside, some had a booklet inside. This one had a sticker just like the writing on the front cover. You weren't just buying the music... I miss that.
Watching her react to this for the first time reminds me of when I put the headphones on back in 1983 and dropped the needle on this vinyl. I could not stop listening to it. Both records over and over again while looking over the album sleeves and gatefold art....What an experience...
When this came out I had recently gotten out of the military, and I was in a deep depression. This album seemed to speak for me. It is still among my favorite albums.
girl... I would love listening with YOU my favorite band of all time songs... you got it! It takes a great ear and appreciation for music to recognize pure talent.
The Wall is a concept album, The wall being talked about is a psycological/spiritual wall, that Pink, the protagonist, builds around himself. The album tells a story of a mans personal journey. Really @Scribe do listen to the entire thing even if you dont do a reaction to it all. For example, Another brick in the wall pt deals with the protagonist losing his father in WW2, pt two deals with his school years, part 3 deals with his growing mental illness as he tries to cope with life. The album itself is one of the greatest rock albums ever done. That said PLEASE do another reaction to comfortably Numb LIVE..I suggest the Pulse concert or Live in Pompeii. Gilmour the guitarist really is outstanding and Pink Floyd is one of those rare bands who sound better live than they do in studio.
It is actually based on Roger Waters and Syd Barrett, Syd built a wall around himself with drugs and couldn't perform anymore, the little kid losing his father in WW2 was about Roger Waters father being killed in the war, the school as Roger said in a interview, that is exactly how teachers in England was when he was in school, hey you was left out of the movie, but it was replaced by a song not on the double album, when the tigers broke free, you could say that the album was a bio of 2 of the founding members, not to mention the fact that the rest of the band had no say in the making of the album, and at that time Richard Wright wasn't even a member of Pink Floyd because Roger Waters fired him, but he kept him on as a session musician and he was a hired musician for the very limited amount of concerts that was done to promote this album, it would also be the album that broke the camels back. The final cut which has the song, when the tigers broke free on it, was a album of songs that didn't make the cut for the wall album, after all the lawsuits were finished, Pink Floyd proved they didn't need Roger to make a number 1 hit album, every album without Roger also hit number one on the billboard's charts. Which Pink Floyd will always be remembered as the greatest one hit wonder in music history, with only one song going to number one.
Wow could you really give a more clinical , anal explaination of a seminal piece of art put out by 4 of the most talented wordsmiths of our time, you jerk, just like Monty Phythons comedy is of it's own genre , hence the phrase Pythonesk, so the Wall is Floydesk, it transends explanation , ''Fuck me" seriously , jeeze i bet your great fun up the pub.
@@johnhouse9983 I'm glad it's not just me. A very clinical observation of one of the greatest albums ever by Thomas there. Some people just like knowing 'facts' which in no way means one can actually feel what's going on. The last one hit wonder sentence is one I have never heard considering they will apparently always be 'remembered' for it.
YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THE MOVIE. PINK FLOYD THE WALL. IT PUTS EVERYTHING INTO CONTEXT. ALSO OUTRAGEOUS VISUALS. TRUST ME. I SAW THE WALL CONCERT TWICE. ALSO THE ANIMALS TOUR AND THE WISH YOU WERE HERE TOUR. ALSO ALBUMS TO EXPLORE AT YOUR LEISURE.
I can tell you would be fun to party with. Your taste in music is extraordinary!🤘Rock on girl!! You are awesome! Floyd's music on the wall albums is mostly about the Berlin wall during the cold war and the hardships in Europe during those times. But you're right that's what is so amazing about that era of rock you ride that ride and interpret the music into whatever you want. I have another great song for you, it's Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs one of my all time favorites!! It's another day another dollar keep um going I always enjoy watching your channel
Like other people said that you have to research the whole album. many of Pink Floyd's albums are concept albums where every song flows into the next for a reason.
Good reaction to a great song! From the concept album "The Wall." There is a story behind it. Glad you like Pink Floyd! They weren't all on drugs, just very creative!
wow, this album came out 40 years ago! still sounds amazing. The Great Gig In The Sky (studio version), Welcome To The Machine. you'll thank me later :)
Hands down you are the best reactor on youtube ,The only suggestion I would give you is when reacting to Floyd you could do an entire album if only a song at a time ,it may give you a better grasp on the story Roger Waters is telling ,actually any classic rock album released between Creams 1967 Disraeli Gears and AC/DC 1980 Back In Black should be listened to in full . Classic rock is its own genre of rock and roll and was played on AOR radio [usually FM] meaning Album Oriented Rock where they played an entire half side of a record .Also just for curiosity sake Zeppelin never released a single Another thing most classic rock bands had a phenomenal bass player and drummer it was almost a prerequisite to be considered classic rock . Sorry to take up so much space but you woke up my rock and roll mind .Cheers from Canada and keep on rockin sister
The phone company used to say, “reach out and touch somebody” meaning to call a loved one. I think sitting naked by the phone meant “see me for who I am.”
One thing about Floyd, Much of their music had elements that were telling of the story about an early member named Syd Barrett. As the stories go he was very much in to a plethora of experiences and contributed a great deal to the Psychedelic roots of the Band. He got to the point where he had to be institutionalized and never really came back to us. So I've always thought much of what they wrote was about him, or at least similar in scope and skew.
Love your videos.... Love seeing someone discovering Floyd for the 1st time. Someone so beautiful. Your as beautiful as Pink Floyd. HMU 🤣jk.... No not, very serious. Back to song; he is imprisoned.... He's put up a wall separating himself from reality. Hey You, is about his cries for help. The album is called The Wall. It is one of man's greatest creations.... 1 thing about Floyd, you have to be a lil patient, but they never disappoint. Truly were on a different level. Keep listening and HMU. 😏
Love your reaction to Hey You. Took me back too many years to when I first heard it and reacted pretty much the same way. I love most songs by Supertramp. You could try Fools Overture or crime of the century.
People look at these lyrics too literally. The lines are simply images of loneliness, despair, and hopelessness; of not being able to conform and social isolation. The song is written from the perspective of someone who wants to connect with people but cannot because they simply do not know how as if there is an impenetrable wall between them and the rest of the world.
With Pink Floyd you really have to listen to their entire albums. Each are concept albums and should be heard in their entirety to enjoy the experience. Love your reactions keep searching. I have found in all types of music the appreciation of these artist music is a unifier it all comes from the same place the heart and mind enjoy it all
That singer, not with the band any more but sure solo albums, Roger Waters, went through a difficult time dealing with fame, loss of his father in WW2 and marriage breakdown. He had issues with bangs members and even fans and on tour with that album let's just say he lost it with a fan and they cancelled the tour. I'm sure years later upon reflection he realizes and it certainly sounded as much. It was just the times as they were, so to speak. Much of what he wrote in the seventies was to deal with dealing with issues, madness, absent friends like original singer and childhood friend Syd Barrett who lost his mind over drugs but turned up while recording the Wish You Were Here album. Were crazy times only really surpassed by what is going on today.
Most of PF songs are about their original singer , Syd Barrett . Mellow rocking tunes with GREAT guitar solos You wanna "space out" & feel good ? Try their ditty , "Shine on you crazy diamond " it's a 9 minute song But So Good
The run of the mill how many albums it was knocked out by the Doors is fantastic i know , but dig aound and there's an almost equal amount of material laid down by Morrison that never made it to vynl , man you gotta check out some of that , Jim says and sings stuff in some of blues sessions thats darker & weirder than ever, dude he just wanted the whole trip to end and 'go home' from almost day one.
The wall is the one that we build around our heart to keep us from suffering ("I'll stop caring, so I won't get hurt" type of thinking, that often take place in the teenage years). And one day we find ourself prisoners of that thing, being harder and harder to revive the old relationships. And, if everyone is behind its own wall, bad things will happen in the society (street violence, racism etc)
As you know that The Wall is a concept album, there is a movie about main character named Pink, Rock Musician going through his ordeal according to the album. All the songs from The Wall is the soundtrack for the movie. I think either parts or full movie is RUclips.
The look on your face and your body language kinda said exactly how you "got it" right from the start. Really hearing the sounds for the first time, and despite not having heard them before... you find them more and more pleasing - to the point where the moods the music creates as backdrops for the lyrics can make the interpretation of those lyrics as valid for you as the listener, as they are for anyone else who listens to the best Floyd material and truly "connects" to their creation/s. Perhaps that's part of their collective genius? To be able to craft something that is as fresh today and into tomorrow as it was for those of us who took exactly the same voyage when listening to Pink Floyd's music for the very first time. It's a pleasure to see anyone when they go through that kind of experience, come out the other side, with a response that shows just how universal it felt for us back then listening to this stuff, and knowing it didn't matter who or what you were or what others may have thought of you, because this music was for those who truly dug modern creativity and geniuses at work creating works of art that could rival those by the greatest composers. Thank you for taking me back on that journey once again. I might be much older, but being taken back to that time - what with everything that has occurred in my life in between; was like being put into a time machine... It felt good. 👍👍 Ooooh... I'd better subscribe, then hadn't I?..
One of PF's best tunes, glad you are enjoying the best band ever. Amazing to think this was recorded over 40 years ago, and it was one of their later albums. OK Scribe: I believe most of us 'old timers' and others agree - here's the preferred way to fully experience Pink Floyd: in chronological order. Their earlier albums are an acquired taste, so start with the song "Echoes" off of the Meddle album (studio version); that will get you off on the right track. Then react to "Dark Side of the Moon" album in its entirety (start to finish); then "Wish You Were Here" album, then "Animals" album, then "The Wall". We all want you to do this, and you will be better off for it :-) thx!!
Comfortably Numb LIVE..I suggest the video from Pulse live. I saw them live and this was the benchmark for every other concert to live up to..BUT no other show ever came close to the stage show/Music.
You should auction for the chance to go to a live show with you. I think that would be a blast. I could just imagine you at a live rock show with a few drinks in you. Epic.
My request! Most excellent. Your reaction is so good. The song is about loneliness, more or less. "The Wall" is essentially the defenses the main character has built up against other people.
Very astute...They are speaking of a man's life experience of growing up in chaos and pain...In order to survive, he built a metaphorical wall around himself to shield himself from getting hurt...The problem is...A wall can protect you from others, however, it also keeps everyone out...The album is a Concept album...Every song is part of the same story...if you want to understand the lyrics you must listen to the album and have the lyrics in front of you..."Caution"...You will be in the "ether" while you listen...Don't worry though, a new version of yourself will come back to this plain of existence.
Ironically Because Of What Happened To Their Original Band Leader, Sid Barrett, The Pink Floyd Pretty Much Stayed Away From Heavy Drug Use Especially LSD.
He's imprisoned by the social establishment, the music industry, his childhood experience and the other things talked about in The Wall album, which is actually one story.
You need to do a full react to The Wall......you'd freak the fuck out in so many places!! And to explain this song in full, would be to spoil the album a little, as it can be treated very much like an unseen movie. The wall is a metaphor, part of a larger theme that builds throughout the album. It's one of the finest albums in existence, you deserve a full listen........everybody does.
If you haven't, watch "The Wall", you'll understand. LOL! Love your take on that particular song! That unique bass sound is because it's fretless, like a cello.
Pink Floyd is an experience, their albums and songs have recurring themes and amazing transitions. For any one track to make sense you need to listen to their albums cover to cover. The Wall, in one sense symbolizes the separation between the artist and the audience (listener), the artist and loved ones and the artist and society. "Hey you" the song, is placed about midway through the album, the whole album follows the artist through his life, at which point he's an established musician who has no one to reach out and connect to. Roger Waters (band member) felt this 'disconnect' when the band played at concerts for rowdy crowds between the albums 'The Dark Side of the Moon' - 'The Wall'.
Another great reaction Scribe. The Wall is snother great Pink Floyd album. I love your selections. Please review Shine on you crazy diamond from the Wish you were here album. You should cover a rock song, I think you would be great. Rock on....
What I listen to the song Sometimes I have to tell myself well that was early 1970s England a very conservative Society at that time the type of society where your parents pretty much decided what type of life you were going to have what job you would have the circles you would run in also a lot of these British musicians not all but some came from money and a lot of them were classically trained that's why the level of musicianship is so high it's again these guys are classically trained. The way I see it is he's talking to the people around him then say it hey let's not be so separate from each other because if we stand together we are stronger and we can beat these m************ so was talking to all the people around him his family his friends his neighbors community telling them together we stand you know divided we keep fighting amongst each other or being afraid of each other they're going to get us and we're going to lose and I don't mean a battle our existence will be white from the face of the Earth our DNA I just found your channel I think yesterday or the day before and I love it great it makes me think about all of the all of the music that's out there and and and I love seeing young people acting the same way that I acted when I heard the song for the first time 30 40 years ago I was so blown away Your channel is fun and informative and even emotionally stirring at times.
Great reaction to an epic song. Would LOVE to hear you sample it but you'd end up living in a refrigerator box under an overpass probably. Really cool to hear your take on the lyrics because Floyd songs are just as much about the words as the music, nothing is ever just a throwaway rhyme. Do some Floyd tunes from "Animals" when you can. Subbed.
"The worms" were a synthesizer tone through a LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator), basically, an effect. The "big emotional" tone, you described, over that, was Roger Waters playing a Fender Precision fretless bass. They didn't do drugs much. Certainly not L.S.D.
TheOriginalFILIBUSTA Wrong. The original member Syd Barrett was permanently changed mentally, due to too much LSD use. Hence, Wish you were here. Obviously the other members of the band didn't do a whole week straight of LSD. But they all experimented a little here & there.
TheOriginalFILIBUSTA you don’t play a synthesizer through an LFO. Rather, an LFO is a common component of an analog synthesizer. The voltage oscillation that the LFO produces is typically at a frequency below human hearing (hence low frequency oscillator instead of audio frequency), so you can’t hear the LFO waveform itself. Instead, the LFO output is used as a control voltage that can be used as a way to modify or modulate other parts of the amplifier. Effectively, you can use the LFO control voltage to automatically twist some of the other knobs on the synthesizer back and forth - for example, you could modulate the output volume with the LFO control voltage to produce a tremolo effect.

The Wall is a concept album. This song has a place in the whole story of the album. At this stage in the album, the protagonist has been destroyed and is starting to pick up the pieces of the person he really is. Not a Rock star, not controlled by all sorts of people from his past, but just raw emotions of who he he is outside of The Wall.
Pink Floyd's music takes everyone to a new level
I remember when this Album came out... It was sold out everywhere for weeks. Younger people today don't know what it was like... to have a 2 vinyl record album... it was like 16" square and opened up, usually with pictures inside, some had the lyrics to all the songs inside, some had a booklet inside. This one had a sticker just like the writing on the front cover. You weren't just buying the music... I miss that.
I could listen to David Gilmour solos all day! He has the ability to reach your soul!
He also has a beautiful voice
All white boomers say that. Literally every single one. Shit is cringe af.
@@dontsubscribe7175 'cause it's true, dawg
@@dontsubscribe7175 Lmao what is wrong with you. One of the greatest guitarists right there.
SO TRUE! PEACE FROM FRANCE 👍✌️😂🎸🇫🇷
I so love seeing you enjoy Pink Floyd. They're the best!! Animals is an amazing album. Peace
Watching her react to this for the first time reminds me of when I put the headphones on back in 1983 and dropped the needle on this vinyl. I could not stop listening to it. Both records over and over again while looking over the album sleeves and gatefold art....What an experience...
💯 just your comment gave me a flashback of the same. Revolutionary and meant so much then but even more now that I am older.
When this came out I had recently gotten out of the military, and I was in a deep depression. This album seemed to speak for me. It is still among my favorite albums.
Thanks for your service I hope you're good now
Came back to watch this video again. I absolutely love this song.

You looked high as a kite when the song ended. Pink Floyd, mission complete.
I rocked my bass years on stages
. You get it. You rock. Love your true felt reactions. love rockin' with you. Thanks
Again I watch you discover what I know and it brings me great pleasure
All your interpretations are correct.
Love your reaction. Since the 70's, i have enjoyed this bands music .
Great gig in the sky is so beautiful.
It's a song about death.👁
70s Pink Floyd, easily one of the best bands of all time. Yes Gilmore is a great singer but the part when Waters starts singing, awe man, soooo good!
pink floyd shine on you crazy diamond
you nailed it.."The burden of it all to go through alone"
Hey You, is A chapter in the story of The Wall.
Enjoy all the music in your heart

HEY YOU! YEAH YOU! Great reaction! Great band and timeless album! Love that ethereal and haunting opening guitar.
"Hey You" soundtracked every teenage bedroom from 1979 to the mid-1980s.
This song can put you in a trance ❤️ it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good reaction to a great song! From the concept album "The Wall." There is a story behind it. Glad you like Pink Floyd! They weren't all on drugs, just very creative!
Yes. I have requested this song to over 15 reactors and your the 1st to do it.
I can't believe it's still up.

Great reaction and comments, it's obvious you can truly feel the music
Hey You! Floyd is best group
It's about connection and disconnection - being alone and trying to connect. But you really need to listen to the whole album in order. It's story.
I love your hair like that. And this song.

ROTFLMAO. Yup, they are really easy to understand, couldn't have said it better myself.
Yes!

i agree with you 100% ...(or when the music s over)
Soft parade... Ghost song... People are strange... The end... Crystal ship 🌷

It's a pleasure to see anyone when they go through that kind of experience, come out the other side, with a response that shows just how universal it felt for us back then listening to this stuff, and knowing it didn't matter who or what you were or what others may have thought of you, because this music was for those who truly dug modern creativity and geniuses at work creating works of art that could rival those by the greatest composers.
Thank you for taking me back on that journey once again. I might be much older, but being taken back to that time - what with everything that has occurred in my life in between; was like being put into a time machine... It felt good. 👍👍
Ooooh... I'd better subscribe, then hadn't I?..
Classic 70's Aerosmith is essential.
Sweet Emotion, Toys in the Attic, Back in the Saddle, Last Child. Totaly up your alley!
I think it's time for you to experience the entire Wall album from beginning to end! Careful Rocker Girl, it might just blow your mind!
Think i am liking your reactions. I grew up on this music. To see younger people reacting to and liking this music , speaks for itself.
One of PF's best tunes, glad you are enjoying the best band ever. Amazing to think this was recorded over 40 years ago, and it was one of their later albums.
OK Scribe: I believe most of us 'old timers' and others agree - here's the preferred way to fully experience Pink Floyd: in chronological order. Their earlier albums are an acquired taste, so start with the song "Echoes" off of the Meddle album (studio version); that will get you off on the right track. Then react to "Dark Side of the Moon" album in its entirety (start to finish); then "Wish You Were Here" album, then "Animals" album, then "The Wall". We all want you to do this, and you will be better off for it :-) thx!!
Comfortably Numb LIVE..I suggest the video from Pulse live. I saw them live and this was the benchmark for every other concert to live up to..BUT no other show ever came close to the stage show/Music.
Greatest band EVER
You should auction for the chance to go to a live show with you. I think that would be a blast. I could just imagine you at a live rock show with a few drinks in you. Epic.
My request! Most excellent. Your reaction is so good. The song is about loneliness, more or less. "The Wall" is essentially the defenses the main character has built up against other people.
Hey You and The Rain Song in same day. You better watch out playing that good s*** like that is gonna get you to 20K subscribers before XMas for sure.
I like your analysis of the song
You mentioned the background on Pink Floyd. Check out the great gig in the sky. That one is mostly about the backup singers
Very astute...They are speaking of a man's life experience of growing up in chaos and pain...In order to survive, he built a metaphorical wall around himself to shield himself from getting hurt...The problem is...A wall can protect you from others, however, it also keeps everyone out...The album is a Concept album...Every song is part of the same story...if you want to understand the lyrics you must listen to the album and have the lyrics in front of you..."Caution"...You will be in the "ether" while you listen...Don't worry though, a new version of yourself will come back to this plain of existence.
Ironically Because Of What Happened To Their Original Band Leader, Sid Barrett, The Pink Floyd Pretty Much Stayed Away From Heavy Drug Use Especially LSD.
He's imprisoned by the social establishment, the music industry, his childhood experience and the other things talked about in The Wall album, which is actually one story.
Amazing reaction!!!
You need to do a full react to The Wall......you'd freak the fuck out in so many places!! And to explain this song in full, would be to spoil the album a little, as it can be treated very much like an unseen movie. The wall is a metaphor, part of a larger theme that builds throughout the album. It's one of the finest albums in existence, you deserve a full listen........everybody does.
pink floyd should be the basics for every musician
By the way, Gilmore played the Bass too!!!
If you haven't, watch "The Wall", you'll understand. LOL! Love your take on that particular song! That unique bass sound is because it's fretless, like a cello.
Pink Floyd is an experience, their albums and songs have recurring themes and amazing transitions. For any one track to make sense you need to listen to their albums cover to cover. The Wall, in one sense symbolizes the separation between the artist and the audience (listener), the artist and loved ones and the artist and society. "Hey you" the song, is placed about midway through the album, the whole album follows the artist through his life, at which point he's an established musician who has no one to reach out and connect to. Roger Waters (band member) felt this 'disconnect' when the band played at concerts for rowdy crowds between the albums 'The Dark Side of the Moon' - 'The Wall'.
Another great reaction Scribe. The Wall is snother great Pink Floyd album. I love your selections. Please review Shine on you crazy diamond from the Wish you were here album.
You should cover a rock song, I think you would be great.
Rock on....
You got it my sista bun bun bun. Waters bass Gilmour the 🎸 uhhuhh this is art i feel pf music.
Pink floyd is so good I rarely can recall song names I only know entire albums! Check out dogs on animals it's so epic!
What I listen to the song Sometimes I have to tell myself well that was early 1970s England a very conservative Society at that time the type of society where your parents pretty much decided what type of life you were going to have what job you would have the circles you would run in also a lot of these British musicians not all but some came from money and a lot of them were classically trained that's why the level of musicianship is so high it's again these guys are classically trained.
The way I see it is he's talking to the people around him then say it hey let's not be so separate from each other because if we stand together we are stronger and we can beat these m************ so was talking to all the people around him his family his friends his neighbors community telling them together we stand you know divided we keep fighting amongst each other or being afraid of each other they're going to get us and we're going to lose and I don't mean a battle our existence will be white from the face of the Earth our DNA
I just found your channel I think yesterday or the day before and I love it great it makes me think about all of the all of the music that's out there and and and I love seeing young people acting the same way that I acted when I heard the song for the first time 30 40 years ago I was so blown away
Your channel is fun and informative and even emotionally stirring at times.
That is David Gilmour on guitars (acoustic, multi-tracked leads) and the fret-less bass lines in the beginning and middle.
The wall is masterpiece
Great reaction to an epic song. Would LOVE to hear you sample it but you'd end up living in a refrigerator box under an overpass probably. Really cool to hear your take on the
lyrics because Floyd songs are just as much about the words as the music, nothing is ever just a throwaway rhyme. Do some Floyd tunes from "Animals" when you can. Subbed.
"The worms" were a synthesizer tone through a LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator), basically, an effect. The "big emotional" tone, you described, over that, was Roger Waters playing a Fender Precision fretless bass. They didn't do drugs much. Certainly not L.S.D.
TheOriginalFILIBUSTA Wrong. The original member Syd Barrett was permanently changed mentally, due to too much LSD use. Hence, Wish you were here. Obviously the other members of the band didn't do a whole week straight of LSD. But they all experimented a little here & there.
Tazzz 69 Dazzermind
Nope
TheOriginalFILIBUSTA you don’t play a synthesizer through an LFO. Rather, an LFO is a common component of an analog synthesizer. The voltage oscillation that the LFO produces is typically at a frequency below human hearing (hence low frequency oscillator instead of audio frequency), so you can’t hear the LFO waveform itself. Instead, the LFO output is used as a control voltage that can be used as a way to modify or modulate other parts of the amplifier. Effectively, you can use the LFO control voltage to automatically twist some of the other knobs on the synthesizer back and forth - for example, you could modulate the output volume with the LFO control voltage to produce a tremolo effect.
...the fretless bass part, is performed by gilmour, saludos
@@soyboy29 I did not know that.
I remember strapping my boom box to the handlebars of my beech cruiser blasting this shit... thanking I was cool lol
A true Rock epic
