RUclips would only let me post the first half of Side B at first! Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have the second half for you guys! Have a great rest of your day!
I'm really enjoying your reactions to this album, especially your earlier reaction to "Mother" one of my favorites Pink Floyd songs and my absolute favorite guitar solo by the legend David Gilmour. Keep listening, and enjoy your journey. Pink Floyd are so perfectly different from anything you've ever listened ✌.....
I watched this yesterday. Went to put up a comment and it was gone. I’m glad you got it back up. Great reaction ❤️✌️🌼
Thanks Silas... keep up the good work. 😎
@@marniethedyslexic6445 Just missed it before it was yanked
Great job! Meddle is another great PF album that is as worthy imo, it came out before DSOTM and only has 6 tracks including their mind-expanding song Echoes 🔥don't miss out
"come along for the ride " - my young friend some of your subscribers have been on the Pink Floyd ride for 50+ years . I'm just so glad you are joining us . as has been said before - no band hits like these guys - you will never hear anyone like them again , we havent . ENJOY !
Goodbye Blue Sky & quite a lot of the Wall in general is about WW2, the air raids, etc. Roger Waters lost his Father during the war, so it affected him a lot. His Mum was over protective, hence the song Mother. Pink is a loose reflection of Roger Waters, the albums creator, & everything he sings about contributed to him building a wall separating him from the rest of society.
Also loosely based and Syd Barrett.
@@kyles5513 Yup, a few scenes reference parts of Syd's life too, the shaving scene most specifically.
I think you are wrong. Sid Barrett was the focus of The Wall. Rodger Waters wrote the songs based on Sid Barrett.
@@brettteply9363 Actaully he wrote the songs based on both of them, Pink is a mix of Roger and Syd
@@brettteply9363 Comfortably Numb was all about Rodger. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Sid Barrett.
Good job, Silas. Remember, this is a continuation of Side 1. Even though the main character, Mr. Pink Floyd has managed to become a rock star and was married in England, he is still on the path of total self-isolation. A wall that is getting taller and taller. He cannot communicate with his wife and the memories of growing up in the shadow of bombing raids in London by Germany in WWII are more bricks in the wall. Pink is looking for some physical contact (a dirty girl) while on tour in the USA and meanwhile his wife is having an affair back in England. The next song takes place in his hotel room. I remember the first time I listened to this, I was like you. I loved the music and the transitions but I didn't pick up everything that was happening. 43 years later I just listened to the album beginning to end thanks to you.
I think the way the band staged the Wall in concert provides additional insight into the album. At the start of the concert (I saw it in 1980) the beginnings of a wall across the arena are already there. During the course of the first album, which discusses the various metaphorical “bricks” which create walls between ourselves and the world, stagehands begin building a literal giant wall across the arena, cutting off maybe a quarter (where no one is sitting). At the end of the first album, the final brick is placed.
The second album addresses not the building of the wall but the various effects on our lives.
At the end of the show a plane traverses the arena, crashes into the wall, and it tumbles down.
This analysis is not 100%. But I think it provides context for the music.
The original Wall live concert from 1980 is on RUclips. The quality is not so great so they never released it on video but the bootleg one is available to watch. Pretty awesome show and stage performance. Probably the best rock performance of all time actually.
@@kyles5513 Thanks. I will check it out. The show is still top of my personal list. I saw Waters do the Wall outside a few years ago and the projection technology on the wall was obviously 100 times better. But seeing the full band - and especially David - gives a big edge to the 1980 show.
@@kyles5513 Its a movie too
He's (Roger) referring to WWII and the air raids and destruction they endured in England. Roger's father died in WWII, his grandfather died in WWI.
As a german it makes me really sad. At least I can say with confidence that my ancestors fled rather than join this war.
@@AliasSchmalias I'm a half German American. My great grandfather brought his family over in the late 1800's also to avoid war; Germany was known as "Prussia" back then. They were from Schleswig Holstein. The best to you and your family.
I made an audio tape from the VHS of the movie "The Wall" - it's how I listened to it....once you understand the movie and all, it's such a great rock opera.
The end of Young Lust is always so sad, once you've seen the movie. Pink is now in a band, and is touring in the States. He has grown distant from his wife, who is at home in England, and is now in a relationship with another man. The sounds you're hearing are the "operator" trying to connect Pink's phone call to his home and wife, but the person answering the call keeps hanging up.
This is when things get dark, and it is a very sad part of the movie. Bob Geldof plays the role of the lost and distraught Pink very well.
Bob was the absolute perfect person for that role.
Just loving your reactions to all this!!
So happy to hear you again. But it's important that you don't have to fell pressed to deliver. Music is for fun, to forget the everyday stress. If you need a break take it, specially by copyright problems.
I had learnt that the lyrics are deeper not so black-white as I remembered (perhaps the impression trough the film) and the music is versatile with bridges and changes of pace (take the three .songs heard) a grandise trademark of Pink Floyd. Young Lust was the first of three Water-Gimour songs with lead David (Comfortably Numb clear; Run Like Hell shared voices).
I haven't seen Pink Floyd on the original Wall Tour 1980. Can a fan tell me 1. has David other lead and 2. you can say the lead guitar parts were composed by David although his name is not mentioned.
As guitar fan these parts could be a little bit extended (pehaps they were in concerts), but that's why I love Meddle, Dark Side, Wish and the rawer Animals all the more and don't want to miss any of them as five different children from the same family
Division bell should be on your list
Saw that tour...dosed hard.
11th row, Gilmore on the pedal steel during Echoes was pretty intense
Well done, sir! It's easy to take this album for granted because of growing up with it all those years ago. We all know it's great, but it's like "yeah okay". Your reactions are making me put the headphones on again and rediscover the majesty of The Wall. Thank you!!!
You really need to watch the movie to fully get it. When you’re done with the album first of course.
Can’t wait for you to discover Rush!
It’s probably been 20 or 30 years ago now, but I read (or saw an interview) where Roger Waters explained why his mother (along with many other mothers) were so overprotective. So many of the mothers’ grandfathers fought and died in WWI. Flash forward to WWII and their husbands and brothers are fighting and dying. They lived through bombings, air raids, and funeral service after funeral service after funeral service. I can’t imagine what that would do to one’s sense of well being and security.
🤗 Catching up on your PF reactions to The Wall! Congratulations on 5K dude! 🥰🐰
Roger Waters lost his father in the war. This is revisited in a lot of his songs. One of the many "bricks". A lot of people of his generation are survivors of when the Germans were bombing England.
When you get done reacting to this album, you need to watch the movie "The Wall." You'll even get a couple small songs not on the album.
It's never too late to jump on the Pink Floyd train. Welcome my young friend. Enjoy the ride!
Loving The Reviews, Silas...
Keep Rockin'.
RONNIE
SCOTLAND 🎸🎸
You deserve all the subscribers. Keep up the great reviews. Very enjoyable. 😃😀😄😁
At 9:16 the guitar riff is a tribute/reference to Rick Derringer's 1973 'Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo' IMHO. Great insertion of a rock and roll classic that everyone knew and would be subconsciously affected by. Music back then had so many layers and connections always referring to other influences and ideas. ruclips.net/video/Q06edJvLDsY/видео.html
The song Empty Spaces that you hear on the album is not the whole song. It's only the first verse. They had to cut it because it wouldn't fit on the album (This was before the invention of the CD and all records were still being made on vinyl). If you want to hear the full version, you'll have to watch the movie or look it up on YT.
On the album sheeves had the lyrics for the album. On it had two songs, Empty Spaces, and the song you're taking about, What Shall We Do Now?. A song which is in the movie
David Gilmour is a BEAST on guitar!💯🐐😁❤️✌️
Became a patreon..cant wait to offer suggestions moving forward..have fun man!
Sorry I am almost 50 so love watching your reactions. Love ya brother.
Glad to see the youth appreciating the enormity of this band. Keep it up mate, great to watch 👍
You have to watch to movie to get the full meaning of what's going on here - sure you'll be blown away by the visuals, especially the animations. There is actually a hidden message in the song 'Empty Spaces' but you have to actually have the vinyl record and a turntable. When you hear that backwards talking, it's a message to their former bandmate Syd Barrett to call home when played in reverse - he went off the deep end and never returned.
He’s talking about the blitzkrieg on London should watch the video of the movie ot the whole movie
If I recall Pink is shown playing in the rubble of destroyed homes in the movie, to symbolize the wreckage that the war left not only on the cities, but also the people of England.
Black Sabbath also all grew up in the same bombed out environment, and look how they turned out lol
Look up the video on RUclips the original it’s absolutely beautiful if you don’t remember exactly
For me there is no one better than David Gilmore
Gilmour
This album is over 40 years old and still being discovered by new listeners!
When I was Silas's age and living in London, I'd phone (call) a random number and hold the handset near the speaker while Young Lust was playing. Most people would hang up, but some would try to interact with the voices they were hearing. It seemed funny at the time, and this was decades before Caller ID came along, so no-one had a clue who was calling them. It's wonderful to see another young person falling in love with Pink Floyd. My neighbour was the projectionist (ask your dad) at the Empire, Leicester Square, so I got to watch The Wall for free many, many times. Happy days.
grats on 5k bro
Goodbye Blue Sky is referring to The Battle of Britain, "the Blitz" in 1940.
Empty Spaces is about the relationship between the character “Pink” and his wife who are not getting along and really don’t speak to each other any more which leads into Young Lust which is about “Pink” hooking up with a groupie while on tour as portrayed in the movie. At the end of the song Pink tries to call home from the U.S to talk to his wife but a man answers the phone as his wife is having an affair while he is on the road. When they recorded the phone call, they actually made a phone call which back then usually required the assistance of an operator, to someone waiting for the phone call unbeknownst.to the operator to get a real and honest reaction from her...the operator comes to the realization that the man answering the phone probably shouldn’t be there and disconnects the line.
*unbeknownst to...don’t know why it created a hyperlink
Like I said in a previous Comment the album was turned into a Movie in 1982 so to get a better understanding of what the album is about regarding the Dark Lyrics it's worth checking out the Movie
Goodbye blue sky was the very 1st Floyd song I heard n loved...my cherry so to speak...i was 15 in 1985
I've seen the movie so many times I can't listen without imagining it.
The Wall is the GOAT of concept albums. Great vid Silas 👍
This is the soundtrack to the movie of the same name, which is just as awesome as the album. It stars Bob Geldoff as the main character and deals with his emotional isolation and trust issues caused by aspects of his life and lifestyle. The ' wall ' is a metaphor for his emotional withdrawal and depression
"The Wall" album is not a soundtrack. It is an original work. The Wall movie is a Hollywood adaptation of the album that came out some 3 years later that the band, particularly Roger and Dave, collaborated on. Some songs are remixed and or sound entirely different on it. The classic "Hey You" is left out of the movie entirely. This is why the album must always be listened to first for purity of production and content.
"Empty Spaces" was cut severely for album length, and "The Last Few Bricks" was only played live at the concert. It was an overture of all the themes played so far to let them finish building the wall on stage..
They're worth watching, but Roger's management is very copyright protective of concert footage.
Bombs fall as does the descending melody of Blue Sky. Goodbye. Goodbye.
Take your time with Floyd,,,,they're great. But I'm really looking forward to your reaction to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. You'll flip out !!!! Skynyrd is a whole 'nother rabbit hole. 💥💥💥👍😎
Try Simple man.

Goodbye blue skies is about the Blitz aka the relentless bombing campaign Germany did to English cities during WW2.
Not sure how many people picked on this, but the Empty Spaces can Ajay refer to the album, The Wall. Pink Floyd albums have bits between the songs where the band or others would talk about whatever. Paul and Linda McCarthy appear on The Dark Side of the Moon this way. The Empy Spaces were we use to talk. Also, the last line, How do I complete The Wall, could refer to completing the album. Think on that
Empty spaces is about places to fit more bricks in his wall. From the last song to this one is a huge leap in time as Pink is grown and married. But things have soured in his marriage so their talks are now empty space and consequently that distance is more bricks.
The interesting part though is the first half before the lyrics. It is a backward recording by Roger Waters of a "secret message". As he is speaking he gets interrupted by James Guthrie, one of the engineers on the album, who tells him his wife, Carolyne, is on the phone. He says OK and goes off to answer the call.
This to contrast later in the album when Pink calls home while out on the road performing. The collect call placed by the operator is answered by a man who hangs up...twice. It is based on one of Roger Waters most painful memories. While on tour with The Floyd in the US, Roger called home collect to his then wife Judy Trim and a man answered the phone. It was at that point he new his marriage to Judy was over. That could have been a bunch of bricks for Roger. He though was made of sterner stuff. Our character here in the album is not, as is becoming obvious.
Nice one bro. At some point I highly recommend you watch the movie The Wall, then you'll really understand what is going on. The extension of Empty Spaces in the film is one of my favourite Pink Floyd moments, along with a song called When the Tigers Broke Free, which didn't make it onto the album.
HAHAHAH I had the same reaction first time with young lust..its a perfect tune.
Imagine my pain growing up with an older sister blasting Rocky Horror Picture Show out her ghetto blaster all day roller skating, and I was... "NOo you have to listen to _Animals_ and _The Wall_ ...." _de gustibus non est disputandum..._ I suppose.
Love ya kid.
6:16 The Secret Message........ “Congratulations. You’ve just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont,” he says when reversed.
Holy Crap, RUclips’s Blurring The Freakin Lyrics?
YT has No Shame.
Enjoying your vandalised content dude.
If you haven't seen it yet check out "The Wall Live in Berlin" . It was performed in Berlin in 1990 eight months after the Berlin wall fell to celebrate the falling of the wall. A giant wall is built on stage 500 feet wide and 82 feet high which becomes a movie screen. There were over 450,000 people watching. Many from former communist countries who had never heard western music before. There were different groups performing different parts of the music. Here's the link to Wikipedia about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_%E2%80%93_Live_in_Berlin . Greatest concert of all time. Here is the link to the whole concert: ruclips.net/video/rtsNc2boH90/видео.html
.......UHH..1:37. Can't WAIT for your REACTION !
If you can find the time - about two and a half hours - you should consider watching the movie 'Roger Water's - The Wall'. This is a doco with Roger performing The Wall and narrating the story to fill in a narrative of the back story. Way better than watching the movie with Bob Geldof as Pink.
I love Empty Spaces and Young Lust such great songs
Waters father was an ambulance driver during The Blitz. Early part of the war, when England was being bombed. He later enlisted and was killed in Italy.
I think the personal relationship is an analogy to where we are now, past present future.
Neo serfdom
"...with the promise of *brave new world/* unfurled beneath the clear blue sky..." helps if you read Aldous Huxley. Brave New World is a scientific techno utopia which because people forget about the human soul becomes a dystopia.... and so on and so forth.
I hope by now you know listening to Pink Floyd is a journey only you’ll see. Sure there’s a common element to their music but it’s more than just music. Thats why this band is as badass as they are. They say “You don’t need drugs to listen to Pink Floyd but you need Pink Floyd to enjoy your drugs.”
Dude you have to watch the Pink Floyd The Wall movie. Amazing!!!
When it came out my friends and I used to play "Empty Spaces" backwards on the turntable to hear the secret message. Even wrote my name and address on a brick but couldn't make out the address to send it to. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Seriously... is there anybody out there?
Now you have to watch the movie!
The drumming on this album is Top Notch 👌
Can I highly recommend you track down the interview that writer ROGER WATERS did with Tommy Vance of UK's radio 1's ROCK SHOW, in Dec 1979 prior to release of the album - you won't get a better full description of what is going on in the album (track by track). It's on RUclips somewhere
You should watch the movie it's still holds up actually
You've got to see the move "the wall" to understand the story behind every song.
Great reaction - those g'tars do give you some sort of ASMR!
Another reactor is like that - HalfLife Sistah, especially listening to Porcupine Tree (a modern British prog band, very Pink Floyd influenced) here: ruclips.net/video/rrcdJvdwjzU/видео.html - as the tune goes on she clearly experiences it throughout herself, to great delight.
Good music is just - So Very Good! :)
Coool to see your reaction every time David Gilmour does his guitar solos ...its what inspired me to learn guitar in '83. Please watch the Movie "The Wall". Even if you cant do a reaction to it, just watch it and let us all know what your thoughts and feelings were about the Movie. Some of it is in cartoon and some in real life, to illustrate the message of The Wall. The artwork was cool for its time. It was R rated when it 1st screened in Australia ...likely due to the sex and violence, but was later downgraded to M (mature audience). It was very in your face for its era, and even tho violence and sex are more commonplace on TV now, the message of the Movie is still strong and in your face. The visuals that go with these songs are awesome, and really help to explain the lyrics meanings much better. The cartoon video illustrations are really powerful.
Good for a lad to be listening to this but you must watch The Wall the movie. It does give the soundtrack relevance. Plus alot of the animation is amazing. Hope you give it go. Scott.
A little story. The album's director can his friend in England from the US were the band was recording. He told him to hand up when the operator called. He then told the operator to call his gems called, asking for a Mrs Floyd from Mr Floyd. That response you hear was recorded and added to the album. That was a real US operator, and her team response. You can't make this shit up
What shall we do now?
The BLITZKRIEG” bombing of London during WWII.
If you haven’t already, watch the film.
"It's a man answering...."
reaction fleetwood mac - rumours album
I commented below about the guitar riff reference to Rick Derringer's 1973 Classic 'Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo'. But to expand, Gilmore's sound was also Rick's sound, and they shared styles in many other respects. Rick's '73 album, 'All American Boy', is a progressive rock montage with blues and jazz influences, and it was, after all, the American bands destroying hotel rooms and generally giving rock and roll artists a 'bad name', (think Joe Walsh 'Life's Been Good to Me so Far', and Deep purple's 'Smoke on the Water' about Zappa's crowd burning the casino in Switzerland to the ground; as the British bands were much more respectable and mature, while the American bands were out of control hedonists, AKA- Hippies). In my humble opinion, 'The Wall' album is an opera, (think Queen's 'Night at the Opera'), so to speak, of the psychological journey of an American rock artist, who lost his father in WWII, ('Daddy's gone, across the ocean. Leaving just a memory.....'), who grows up in a fatherless home under the oppression of his wounded and overly protecting mother, who leaves him all the more vulnerable to the American public school system, (which is far more influenced by Dewey's Experimental Modernism as 'Industrial Education' than the 'Old World' Europeans), as a means of filling in the dead father's role. You will have more to draw from and, perhaps, see my point, as you listen to the next disc, sides 3 and 4. If you don't understand by the the time you hear the last track, 'The Trial', (easily among the most under appreciated songs in all of Modern music), then, well, you may just be too young.....yet. This album is also about the English child in the aftermath of WWII, make no mistake, it's about the education and entertainment Industries that sucks out your innocent dreams and replacing them with temporal, material pleasures where Real Happiness hasn't got a prayer.....
„Don’t leave me now“ is probably the most messed up song Waters has ever written.
So disturbing and dark.
WW2 bombing of London. Good Bye Blue Sky is my favorite Pink Floyd tune
hmm, the versions you listen too, got some strange "jumps" in the music, that cut some music out. you must hear the record proberbly.... And you must see the movie.
Turn tables used to play them continuum
Goodbye blue sky
"One of those stink-face songs" LMAO. Exactly.
The entire album "The Wall", is telling the story of a character named Pink Floyd, who is slowly going insane. His father was killed in WWII by a bomb in a bomb shelter (however his father was going to commit suicide, just before the bomb hit). This left him with only his Mother who was over protective and overbearing, and wouldn't let him live his own life and make his own decisions and mistakes. His school teacher was abusive and made fun of him and ridiculed him and his dream of becoming a poet in front of the class and spanked him with a yardstick (as many teachers were allowed to do back then). When he grew up he became a musician and song writer do to his love of poetry. And his wife cheated on him. All these situations (and these people) hurt him so badly that he slowly creates an emotional wall (metaphorically speaking) around himself to keep people out (so he doesn't let anyone in) so he doesn't get hurt anymore. All the people and situations that hurt him are seen as bricks in his wall. And each song is talking about those bricks and situations. And he slowly becomes more and more disassociated from other people and reality around him as he slowly slips into madness. He eventually even starts a hate group (like neo nazis), and becomes violent and abusive to anyone that tries to get close to him. In the end he judges himself, and realizes he cannot continue to live this way, he (as judge of himself) sentences himself to tear down his wall.
That's what's going on in the album.
At the very end of the album you hear music fading out and a voice say "isn't this where". And the very first thing you hear on Side one (which wasn't on your listening reaction of side 1 of the album, for some reason it was cut) is that same music fading in and a voice say "we came in".
So the last words on side 4 are "isn't this where" and the first words on side 1 are "we came in". This symbolizes how in life after we build our Walls and tear them down, we just immediately begin building a new one, and how it's a continuous cycle throughout life.
There is a movie "Pink Floyd's The Wall" that shows Pinks journey, the sound effects you hear on the album are sounds from the film. The film is done to the music of the album and has live action and very trippy psychedelic animation in it. It's a very dark film, but you'd expect that from a story about someone slowly losing his mind.
Just to give you an idea of what the movie is like, the last song you listened to in this video was Young Lust, at the end of the song you hear a telephone conversion between Pink who's trying to call his wife and the phone operator who keeps informing Pink that man keeps answering the phone (the man who's wife is cheating on him with). The next song on the album is "one of my turns", in which Pink deciders to bring backs groupie from his concert back to his hotel room. This is the scene from the movie of that event, and what ensues.

Watch the Alan Parker movie Pink Floyd The Wall. It will give you a visual interpretation by Roger Waters and the director Akan Parker. He'll, do a reaction video to the movie!
This is a very dark album and I think it's nice that today's generation doesn't really get it. It a VERY different time now and the teens of today are not the teens of 1979. Or...is it even more pertinent today than ever? I think a case could be make either way.
The story is about a little boy growing up to be a tyrant -- set during WWll -- and the future of the boy dictator --
Yôu should do meat loaf bat out of hell next...total story album likèn flyod
Try the Pink Floyd album " ANIMALS " 🐷
copyright on youtube is a minefield
you do what you can
Do some Queen
WW II
Just one correction. Waters didn't write all of the album. Most of it, but not all of it.
Roger Waters супер !!! Человек - гора.
You should check out a band ,, Massive Attack ,,. First album came out 1989, Tricky wad a part of the band and then every album after that was better and better. 1989 ,, Blue lines,, 1994 ,, Protection ,, 1998 ,, Mezzanine ,, 2003 ,, 100 window ,, 2010 ,, Heligoland ,, I think that they are unique and is you dont like Mezzanine than drop it, its not for you
go watch the movie THE WALL
You were warned... it only gets deeper and darker from here. All sounds and references to bombs and planes and helicopters and such is Pink flashing back in his head to World War ll as he does throughout the album. This is where his father was killed and Pink was born. It is the most traumatizing event Pink's life and represents the first brick in his Wall. It's also the actual story of Roger Waters, the band's bassist and lyricist. Roger is also singing much of the more emotional parts that you hear. Part 3 awaits.
Really wish you read the story before this reaction, oh well.
Welcome to WW2 stories
