The songs on "The Wall" album cannot really be analyzed independently as each song is part of a larger story, would love to see a full album reaction in one video, with the movie playing.
I would agree with that during a FIRST TIME listen but you can certainly analyze ANYTHING individually out of its context.
The movie isn't the exact same as the album so it would be one or the other. Hey you is not in the original movie.
Even more so with Dark Side of the Moon. Nearly all of their albums are like this tbh.
@@izbo10 I could have sworn it was, but you are right. Apparently it was originally in it but was taken out because the movie was already so dark and depressing
@@L3monSqueezy I think it was a cut for run time. I am also not sure how they would have done it for the movie and not felt like it was dragging with the concept of hey you. It works for the album but not sure for the film
Another vote for the whole album, it puts it all in better perspective
👍👍💯💯
or the movie
All of them.
Pink builds a mental wall inside his head to block out pain and hide his inner humanity, briefly calling out for help it's waaaay too late, mentally isolated he slowly descends into insanity.
This is a record that was meant to listen to the entire record from start to finish.
I'd agree with a full album reaction as well. However, as a stand alone song, you can see this is a person who is completely isolated, calling out to anyone who can help him, only to realize he's so far isolated within himself that no one can hear him. What's really awesome about this song and Pink Floyd in general, imo, is that the music so accurately reflects what the lyrics are saying. You almost don't need the lyrics to feel the way, you could imagine this person feeling.
Every Pink Floyd masterpiece needs to be "Focused" on in it's entirety!!!
if you are blown away by THIS - you should see the MOVIE !!
Rachel, you should listen to whole album then you'll really appreciate the meaning
Yes the Wall is meant to be listed to as a whole its not just a collection of songs on an album
Watch the movie
Long live the Pink Floyd!
Another reason to listen to The Wall from beginning to end. It has a story arc and each song feeds into the next. It's quite brilliant and one of my favorite albums of all time. To be a bit cliche', it's a modern Rock Opera.
The album as a whole is the key to understanding it, and also watch the movie. Not that everyone is saying the exact same thing 😊
I love the way you took this song-the homeless angle, and your take on broader human connection..cheers to you for this!
Love your reaction and detailed analysis of the song. I think you are spot on.And I must say that you look absolutely gorgeous❤
I always had the feeling and touching lines as a cry out from the singer for validation that they physically exist.
The last lines are pretty hard hitting too - Hey, you, don't tell me there's no hope at all. Together we stand, divided we fall.
They've isolated themselves behind the wall but as the last few bricks slam in to place they start to realise it's actually a pretty lonely place and need some help from the other side.
When this came out I would listen to this front to back with headphones LOUD.😱😱
The Movie is a MUST watch for you now if you want the entire story. (You won't need drugs but it won't hurt)
Happy belated 4/20+😎😎
You really need to watch the movie..... The soundtrack and movie are inseparable....
Thank you! No recommendation for a Pink Floyd song is ever wrong. They're all masterpieces.That said please consider "Time". Rock on
The Wall isn't a collection of songs. It's more like an opera or a classical song cycle that need to be listened to as a single entity. It tells a story, but a story that repeats.
The Wall is a concept album about Syd Barrett's descent into madness. Life events compelled him to build a psychological from which he could not escape. In this song he is desperately reaching out for help. Hard to analyze the song outside the context of the whole album.
That’s not what it’s about at all lol
@@Rotten-Barge the wall was formed around the character "pink" which was loosely based off roger waters as well as syd barrett, so this isnt that inaccurate.
You can feel the pain in gilmours solo. Great video! Great reaction and you did a great interpreration. Love how the singing gets more desperate and frantic in the cry for help. Its begging for human contact, for being noticed. The wall is a barrier we put between we and the world to protect us, but sometimes it gets out of hnad and we forget we need other people and to socialize. Listening the wholr album realy put it in conext.
Beautiful fretless bass work on this song. SOMETIMES Waters is underrated.
Well said
David Gilmour had to do the fretless bass on this song. Roger couldn’t do fretless bass.
@@benbode906 Exactly. All epic bass parts in PF (Hey you and Pigs(Three Different Ones) come to mind) were performed by Gilmour.
Really appreciate your perspective on the lyrics, which shows how good art extends beyond the contexts the writers may intend (though it doesn't negate that either). Also appreciate that you are actually attending to the song, paying attention to what it offers also. Thank you for treating art artfully!
It's certainly one of my top songs from the album, that and Comfortably Numb. Both of them, I must sing along when I hear them.
Haha, I just sang along myself... In fact I sang along all songs from DSTOM up to The Wall... (And also Syd's work, TBH).
Roger Waters is a S-Tier lyricist, he was meant for that. He's way of writing is REALLY good, poetry... The flow is beautiful, the meaning is deep, it's not "teenager lyrics", it's really the top level of lyrics art.
He's basically saying that everyone is living in their own isolated loneliness. He's not trying to reach out to a community beyond the wall. He's just trying to at least reach one other lonely soul for some kind of companionship. Something that the other person would possibly be seeking as well.
"Will you touch me?" is not sexual. It's the simple physical embrace of another human being. Arms around you, a shoulder to cry on, and a real sense of at least having someone else to be lonely with.
Rayactions. Great job, great reaction!
David Gilmore doesn’t just suck you right into the music he takes you to another realm! Pink Floyd are one of the greatest bands of all time!
Run Like Hell should be a must listen next
No, Mother, One of My Turns, Young Lust...
The "Wall is almost all written by Roger. After Roger left in 1985 he got all the rights which P.F. can only perform 5 songs. The only full version on the any wall concerts is "1990 Wall Live at Berlin" with over 400,000 at attendance. Roger with many different artist perform where the Berlin stood. It's amazingto watch with a 600 ft. wall 60 ft.high.
I love younger people appreciating Floyd!🏴
Being 64. I totally agree !!!!
@@greg2976 I'm 52 and saw them twice, I think people hear about Floyd as slow and boring until they hear them. Most of the kids are wearing headphones so the lyrics hit home better! 🏴
@@MrChristbait I'm jealous. i never got to see them! I can probably say that both concerts were outstanding!!!!
@@greg2976 1988/89 at Knebworth and Floyd's set had to be cut short because McCartney over ran and Earl's Court '94. Gilmore looked so much younger in '94. (Sam Brown was one of the backing singers too!❤️❤️❤️)🏴
One word, alienation.
Isolation
@@ianfortier6796 Both are linked... And you can add delusion and "wandering into darkness".
When your totally alone your soul is homeless. Speaking for myself I don’t just listen to Floyd I feel it I experience it … do others ?
I think everyone does. Nick Mason has said that Dark Side Of The Moon speaks to every generation because every generation goes through the same issues.
The song Time has grown with me, and has taken on a new outlook the older I have become.
you dont have to react to the whole album, but to understand you will have to listen to the whole album,several times
You have to watch the movie. These songs are very specific to it.
You will have to do a reaction to the movie Pink Floyd's The Wall. It is about a singer named Pink, and how he builds a wall around him to protect himself from the evil in the world.
You will have to learn the difference between David Gilmour's voice, (beginning of song), and Roger Water's voice (8:06).
You need to watch the movie "the wall". The visuals they use add so o much more emotional depth it's literally life changing and you'll never get those images out of your head
One of the bests songs from The Floyd... I really love Roger Waters lyrics: beautiful sounds, deep meanings, it's poetry and strong... I'm glad he went to be the lyricist, he was meant for that. Top tier lyrics.
Really enjoy the different meanings people have of this work of art. I've interpreted the last line ( Hey you / don't tell me there's no hope at all / together we stand / divided we fall ) that Pink realizes--too late---that the wall will be his undoing (divided we fall).
Didn’t notice there were two singers? David Gilmour on the first part then Roger Waters after the epic guitar solo 🎸
Love watching reactions by our younger generation. This is real music. Takes you on a journey constantly.
See the movie. It puts the songs in context
Great reaction to one of the first Floyd songs I learned to play. 😊
Great song and another piece of the puzzle that is The Wall. They never fail to deliver, their music evolved but was always thought provoking and often took you away from whatever else you were doing. If you have never listened to the double CD or watched the movie, you really need to. Life altering stuff from the very best. Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
These song, although beautiful, do not stand alone. Just like reading a random chapter in a book. Just a brick in the wall. Gotta listen to whole album in sequence.
Pink Floyd and Tool will change you.
And...
Comfortably Numb is probably their classic heart-string pulling tune.
BUT...
Check out "The Division Bell" and a "Delicate Sound of Thunder." It's probably one of their best live albums ever.
"Take it Back:", "Coming Back to Life" are truly wonderful pieces of music from "The Division Bell."
On "Delicate Sound of Thunder," "Learning to Fly," "Yet Another Movie," "On the Turning Away," "Comfortably Numb," and "Run Like Hell" are just magical renditions of their music live. You won't be disappointed.
Einstein said we are enigma, both social and solitary.
As someone mentioned below, if you watch the movie then you can understand better what is going on with each song... it is worth a watch.
Gilmore is one of the few guitarists I've seen, first saw em in 73,and 3 times after,and haven seen most of the greats, Clapton, Dwayne Almond, Townsend, Jimmy Page, etc, who stays on the upper register, of the fretboard , on that Strat he prefers. It's really quite amazing. Favorite band. Favorite guitarist, drummer, backup singers, keyboards, just the best I've seen.
hi R.A liked your reaction to my favourite rock band i was homeless for a while loneliness is tuff haven't seen the movie pink floyd the Wall and pink floyd live at pompeii part 1 and 2 1972
The Wall is about a character named Pink, which is loosely based on R. Water and S. Barrett. If you ever watch the movie, there's a young Pink, which is based on Roger water's childhood, and the adult Pink is based on Syd Barrett's adulthood.
Nice to see you back doing Pink Floyd. When you get a chance, please react to High Hopes (1994 Pulse concert). It's one of their most beautiful songs.
Very beautiful songs ❤📣🔊💣👍🎼🎵🎶⭐️
The artist will always have their meaning of the song and what they were feeling, this song didn't make the movie but it would have been used to support the scenes where he is losing his wife and beginning to go mad. At the end of the day, what a song makes you feel is just as valid so there is no wrong answer. I guess as long as you have the lyrics and are hearing the words being said correctly, lol.
7:13 this guitar riff in the context of the album is a rearrangement of another brick in the wall, you can hum this to yourself at many stages throughout the album and it would fit. Its supposed to represent the wall, and its oppressiveness. This song is a cry for help, and then the walls oppressiveness returns, telling you that no matter how hard you try, or how much you want out, the wall is just too high and consuming. Its what you would call a leitmotif and appears many times subtly and unsubtly (like in this song) throughout the album.
Epic
I recognize myself in the song. I feel the same way as described in the song. It's kind of scary because I'm only realizing it now when I hear it.
That's the power of art, although the Pink character is a Rock star, you can recognize yourself in the character, many of it's "sides"...
Work on it, even listen to The Wall, it's a therapy, learn from it. And, I'd suggest you to listen to Tommy (The Who) too. It's an Opera Rock, and I can't help but believe that Roger Waters took some inspiration in Tommy, because there are similarities (Tommy become "deaf dumb and blind" because of childhood traumas and abuses, and... his father is dead too).
And also, try to reach other people, nice people, avoid toxic ones. There are nice people around. I know it's not easy to do, but it worth the try.
Good luck.
About a former founding band mate who went crazy and left the band before they got really good.
The first listen experience with pink floyd get better when you hear the whole album try with wish you were here or the wall
It's Pink Floyd , always a great song.
The wall was a movie released by Pink Floyd it was brilliant!
1st... actually my 1st 1st.. love this song
As everyone will say, you have to do the whole album. It's a concept album with a full story. It derived from Roger Waters' beginning to feel estranged from the audience.
As always is the case, when you start getting really popular, your audience goes from people who completely understand what you are doing, to brain dead party animals who aren't at all listening to what you are doing.
He started thinking of a wall growing between himself and the audience, and for the live concerts they literally built that wall on the stage. On the album of course it represents alienation and isolation and such. Pink, in the story, sort of represents Roger, but takes the whole journey into madness.
The songs on this album have to be listed to as intended. By playing the entire album as one... Something not experienced today with digital music purchases
the guitar riff repeats throughout the album in one form or another, just listen to Another Brick in the Wall
Like in Opera and ballets. There's a theme, characters have their themes, etc.
Tommy is a great Opera Rock too, moreover considering it went out 10 years before The Wall.
Listen to “what do you want from me” from their album The Division Bell such a great and underrated album 👏🏼
❤❤❤
In general, if you're not listening to the Wall as a story, just think drugs and mental health deteriorating as you go down the track list, as the main character grows up to be a rock star increasingly isolated in his mind.
❤❤
The whole album is thought provoking
Psychological wall . Build by his upbringing and the loss of his father during the war.The whole album is required to get the story in full . Double LP out in 1979.
Both beautiful, the reactor and her reaction.
Pink Floyd is such an iconic band, unparalleled to any other band.
Being as smart as you are, you surely have already realised that "The Wall" is a concept album, and I think you'd better react to the movie "Pink Floyd's The Wall", rather than reacting to the whole album in its entirety at once.
But if you won't do any of these, then your natural choice to be your next PF's reaction should be "Brain damage" - way to go.
And if you want any suggestions of some other of their hits, here you are: "Summer 68"; "If"; "Julia Dream"; "High hopes"; "On the turning away".
You really have to watch the movie The Wall for it to all make sense. The “wall” is the mental defence mechanism created by the central character to block out the outside world. Watch the film, it’ll make sense afterwards.
No one could have sung it better than Waters, who is not a great singer.
David Gilmour The Voice and Guitar of Pinkfloyd
Roger Waters the heart and soul though.
🥰
Nice
You should really listen to Pink Floyd album " Animals " and stay absolutely beautiful.
"Together we stand divided we fall"
Cliche but true.
At the moment, I feel it's "divided we stand, united we fall." At least in the States.
Problem is often "people" forget the simple clichés, and simple rules which would make the world better...
It's interesting that she took the most Literal of Pink Floyd's songs and said it was Metaphorical. It's literally about Self-Isolation and Mental Breakdown. Now, those conditions can be metaphorical for the lack of personal community in an ever expanding morass of humanity (as well as other conditions)... The writing does use some allegorical phrases that give rise to feelings and ideas (as any Poetry should). The "Blowing Bubbles in the Hall" line is both a literal description of someone mentally broken as in a mental institution, and an allusion that maybe everyone outside the Wall of isolation is in someway broken too because of it's contextual placement in the song. Pink Floyd is like that.
The Wall capolavoro!!
Every PF song can only be understood when heard in the album's context
So many young people have only discovered Pink Floyd!! Led Zeppelin, The Who etc they have inspired so many other bands and had their song's sampled by stupid amount of band's. Music wouldn't be what it is today without bands like Pink Floyd... 🏴
Lost of good means in pink Floyd 🎼🎵🎶
the way that guitar is wailing, sounds like it's CRYING out for help. Song is amazing and let's not forget that tasty bass lick. Honestly, think it's easy to build a wall to avoid society and all its Bullshyt.
La chanson "Time" de leur album the dark side of the moon a écouter en version audio est magnifique elle vous fait réfléchir sur la vie
this is a "concept" album - his father died while fighting the Nazis in WW2 - his mother was over protective, & didn't let him do anything
People with mental health issues stay strong please
This song remind me A blend between David and Roger..
You can see the movie "THE WALL" and see what they mean......
Hey Y'All!
'The Wall' is a concept album about a character named Pink (= Roger Waters) getting alienated by the actions of the people surrounding him, his mother, his teachers and his wife. As a consequence he is building this virtual, mental wall around him to protect himself from their actions and influences. In the song 'Hey You' Pinke is reaching out from behind the wall he built to the people outside of his mental prison.
The whole idea of 'The Wall' was born by Roger Waters during the 'Animals' tour named 'In the Flesh'. He felt that Pink Floyd and their Shows got to big in the meantime. They were playing in humongous stadions, separated from their audience on huge stages. And the audience was somehow as well detached from the band, the performance and the event they were attending. While being at the concert certain people did not watch their show and did not listen to their music but were talking and doing other things. In Montral Roger Waters got so frustrated and angry that he spat in the face of one of these fans. Shocked about his action he started to thinks about what kind of person he had become. The starting point of the whole 'The Wall' concept digging deep into the early day of his upbringing without father after World War II.
Se puede asociar como una canción dedicada a su amigo y fundador del grupo, Syd Barrett, quien perdió la cordura y se aisló de la realidad del mundo, debido al uso de ácido, una droga que deterioro su cerebro y mente, es una forma de darle apoyo, para que sobreviva y no se rinda.
Watch the film.. it will all make sense
They actually had to cut this one from the film
React to "CUSTER" by Slipknot, pls 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Fire Kush
Never talk during a guitar solo
Please, watch the movie. It's about 9 min longer than the album. Peace/JT
Oh.. that singing at the beginning was you "knowing the song?"
The thing about concept albums, you are missing the context of what came before, to get the point.
Within the context of the story, I have always thought derealization is setting in at this point, the isolation is making him feel detached from the world, and he's asking for someone to touch him so that he can come back to reality.
This song is essentially a cry for help. The metaphorical wall isn't protection now, it's just a prison, and he's looking for a way out.
