This is actually helping me today. I was very sad for some hours because I lost my son Connor this day 8 years ago..since then lost my mom and dad..I needed some good music,.bless
Music helps healing😊
If you watch the movie "The Wall" by Pink Floyd starring Bob Geldolf, you'll better understand these songs. The beginning of the song, "Is There Anybody out There", you're hearing James Arness speaking to a woman; it's an episode of the TV show, Gunsmoke. In the movie, Bob Geldolf is slumped sitting in an armchair watching television. The next song continues with the TV audio. Hope you watch The Wall. It's so good!!
You got that right! Greatest concept album of all time!
La película solo es una versión...
Pero el album es muy ambiguo, las letras tratan sobre todo el aislamiento, guerra, etc, etc
Nobody Home is a song about Syd Barrett. The line "I wear rubber bands so they don't fall off" refers to Syd Barrett, about how Syd's mental state deteriorated so much that he even stopped tying his shoelaces and often wore elastic bands to keep his shoes from falling off his feet. Circumstantial evidence points to the presence of Syd Barrett in Pink's song: the line "I have the same perm as Hendrix" could refer to Syd's haircut during his debut in the 60s.
"i've got a strong urge to fly, but i've got nowhere to fly to" is probably my favorite line of the album,and one of the saddest lines i've ever heard. the song "nobody home" is him taking assessment of his life,listing all the things he has,but realizing they mean nothing because the one thing he wants (his wife) is not home when he calls. at this point in the story he is locked in his hotel room,his mind switching back and forth from fantasy to reality (thanks to a lot of self medication). his mind is reeling with thoughts of his life,and all the "bricks" that have brought him to this point. a knock is heard at the door with someone shouting "time to go". it's his manager coming to take him to the show,but he's in no condition to perform. a doctor is called in, and as "comfortably numb" starts he is heard to say "hello? is there anybody in there?". the rest of the song is a conversation between the doctor and pink,as he gives him a shot of something to "keep him going through the show".
During the live performances of "The Wall" a realistic looking styrofoam wall is constructed across the stage during the course of concert. By the time they get to the song "Hey You" the band is completely walled off from the audience by a 35 ft high wall that extends the full width of the arena. 'Hey You' is performed from behind the wall while weird scary animation plays out on its front. As the show progresses, strategic bricks are removed to reveal Roger or Dave performing. Roger does eventually step back out in front of the wall but with an entirely different and scarier identity. These performances were Rock and theater of the highest order that broke new ground in live concerts. BTW, the plane crash you hear at the beginning of the album happens live as a small plane (on a wire), is flown on cue the length of the arena and crashes into the side of the stage in a ball of flames.
The first live performance of the show had to be stopped when the stage caught on fire during the plane crash.
Sorry I don't wanna annoy, I'm an old Pink Floyd music fan, not know much about the biography, hadn't see them on the Wall tour (but three others). 1. Take Hey You with the great guitar but no Gilmour credits (only three song on the album Waters-Gilmour). But I think the guitar compositions of the most songs were Gilmour?!?. 2. The lead voice Run Like Hell was shared and good recognizable. I'm absolutely unsure by Hey You, saw a sequence of a live video from 1980 where both sang. Why I can't always keep the two voices apart?
That you don't misunderstand me I don't want pit one against the other, only together the four of them were so brillant because they complemented each other. Yes ,yes these tedious compromises without them a partnership, a team, a group or the politic in a democracy don't work, but will challenge us a lifetime.
Until now and should stay that way on this chanel the two fraction are not recognizable. Certainly what Silas radiates is also reponsible for this.
It still ranks first in all the concerts I have seen. 27 Feb 80 Nassau Coliseum
@@jonathansmith3742 Jealous! 😠😎
Gotta see the movie it shines a lot of light on this album
Love that you feel the music!
So cool that you enjoy Pink Floyd. 😉 Enjoying them is very different from "liking" them. 🤗 You "get" Floyd 🥰 and that's cool to us old folks! 😒 Just get that homework in on time. 🤣 We'll understand! 😁🐰
Smoking jackets weren't just for the smoke and smell, they were a way to not have every shirt you own end up with tiny little pin hole burns from the inevitable hot embers that will fall from what you may find yourself smoking at the time. Chronic cig and weed smokers know this all to well.
When done here, with the others helping and your detailed listen, the movie is going to tie it all together and help you see even more than what has been mentioned. Peace/JT
When I was in the US Navy in 79, I had just bought a boom box killer JVC Stereo. Then I bought my first cassette.
PINK FLOYD THE WALL.. we shipped out the next day on a six month deployment to the Indian Ocean. That’s all I had to entertain me.
I spent months trying to understand every lyric.
I just couldn’t get enough.
I’m glad you get to appreciate the genius of this album. I’m glad to get to share in this experience.
Keep it up.
This album got me through my senior year of highschool and the swift and painful end of my first marriage. It hits on so many levels. Though those days are almost 40 years gone this is still an album that draws emotion from me like no other.
Nobody does pain like Waters
@@jjtompson5914 or Waters
@@joegaffey7609 O dear but I'm stoned :)
I guess people react differently to this album. I was extremely depressed when I really got into this album and it pulled me further down. Down to the point where the police were called and I was put on a 72 hour hold. I should have known better, because a friend told me once that this album did the same thing to him.
It is so exciting hearing this through your eyes and ears. I am glad you haven't got too bogged down in deciphering the lyrics. You can tell it is deep and, on first listen, that is perhaps all any of us got out of it. Pink Floyd rewards more and more and more as you keep revisiting it. I think Hey You is one of the best songs on The Wall with David Gilmour on fretless bass and, of course, lead guitar!
love the Sisyphus reference "help me to carry the stone" and of course this album is in many ways like the punishment of Sisyphus
Indeed. Both the music (its sometimes baffling complexity) and the lyrics ensure you'll discover something new in it over decades. I've listened to thousands of hours of Pink Floyd and still sometimes, all of a sudden, I hear some detail I've never heard before.
Absolutely loving your reactions to this album. Thank you so much for sharing with us.❤️✌️🌼
Nobody's Home is probably my favorite song on the album.
Am quite enjoying your reactions to this album. Can't wait to see your reaction to The Final Cut album.
Yeah, it would be awesome if you continue to react to theirfollowing albums, The Final Cut and then 2 albums without Roger Waters, A Momentary Lapse of Reason and then The Division Bell. Reactors often ends on The Wall, which is shame, as The Final Cut has many astonishing lyrics, with the song closing the album... just soo touching. It's one of the top3 or top5 lyrics that Waters wrote
Nobody Home is Roger’s finest vocal performance in my opinion. Maybe his best lyrics as well although that’s a hard one to gauge.
Animals's lyrics are something...
13:33 "Silver spoon on a chain" has multiple meanings here, Silas. "Born with a silver spoon in [their] mouth" is an 18th-century term for class distinction (wealth). Owning cutlery made of silver denoted the class of a landowner (at least middle class), a seriously important distinction back then. So a person born with a silver spoon in their mouth is presumed to have inherited their wealth.
But then also, baby spoons in the late-1960s/'70s often made very convenient instruments for doling out portions of cocaine. People would sometimes wear them on chains around their neck (-see Kenny Rogers) for convenience.
There's also a connotation some people hold that Pink (Roger) is psychologically "chained" to his wealth/success or whatever. But that's best left between Roger and whatever therapist he may have had (who, if he did, failed to prevent Roger from shattering the band with his maniacal control issues while making this album.)
Pretty sure he's talking about the cocaine spoon here. They used to wear them like that back then, on a chain around the neck.
@@flubblert Yeah,and what did I just flippin' say?
@@rollomaughfling380 Ooo, touchy aren't we. I was just zeroing in on one of your many interpretations.
Chill out.
@@flubblert Not how you presented it, bruv.
@@rollomaughfling380 you read too much into it. meant no harm. ✌️
There are some great songs on The Wall, although it is a very dark album. Still an important part of Pink Floyd's discography. In Nobody Home, he's referring to a coke spoon (they were popular back then).
Funny thing - I have been a huge Floyd fan for over 50 years, saw them in concert in 1977 (amazing, btw!) - but when The Wall album came out, I just didn't get it, I liked the 2 epic songs (Hey You, and Comfortably Numb), but in the past few years (thanks in part to reactors like you) I've grown to love each and every song, and put this right up there with their other albums. Enjoy the journey, Silas! (and bring back Alivia!)
Ditto; the more often I hear it the better it gets. For me, still not up to the melodic soundscapes I enjoy in Animals or Wish You Were Here.
Too depressive, too familiar, too much like looking at the inside of my own walls without a soaring, musical escape. Perhaps I've swapping something for a lead role in a cage, leaving me nowhere to fly to.
The wall IS a Metaphor of the/his human condition:- the amalgam of all the internal and external forces at work during his development,paralleled by the life of rock star.. (maybe Sid? ) and drug addiction,and insanity coupled with a deep feeling of de-personalization/de-realization ,leading to psychosis. Trust me I know and got over it but that 28 pills a day from my health care professionals. I thank my father for giving my PTSD.
That's the first one i've ever heard of them at 6YO...So to me it will always be their greatest...even though i like Echoes,Dark Side and Animals a lot...
During "Is Anybody Out There" when you commented about it sounding vaguely like Stairway. At that moment there were lots of interplay between the A minor chord, F chord, and C chord. All 3 of these are prominent in the Stairway chord progression. However, they are present in probably 8-10% of all rock songs. C, F, Am, and G work well together in many iterations and combinations to create some of music's most memorable moments. Am, G, F#, F and E for instance is the same progression for Led Zeps "Babe, gonna leave you": and Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4, Even Green Day uses it. There are many "chord progressions" that are similar and leave similar alleys for improvisation over them.
The dialogue you hear in the background of "Nobody Home" is actually taken from an episode of the
tv show "Gomer Pyle USMC" starring Jim Nabors. One of Gomer's signature phrases was "surprise, surprise, surprise!".
My favorite reaction of the Wall so far Silas... good work. 😎
You should find Pink Floyd's The Wall Live Earls Court 1980. The whole concert is on you tube, tho the video quality is not HD, it is the greatest rock performance of all time. Then watch the movie. That's the order they did it in.
Is There Any Body Out There, is much more powerful in a live setting. A short, stark message with each side trying to connect, but a massive wall in-between us.
I think you'll like the movie too.
Silas, you seem to be such a deep thinker and feeler. I love that about you. I have never seen the movie "The Wall". I can't believe I haven't yet but, I definitely will be seeking it out very soon.
You’re right with Stairway to heaven, and there were DJ‘s back then, who mixed those things together
You seem to like guitar solos! Just watch the end to the Pink Floyd Pulse concert. Comfortably numb followed by Run Like Hell. The best end to a concert ever..
The best version of Comfortably Numb is live earls court 1980. The video footage is not the best but it is definitely the best performance of that song they ever did.
Some beautiful vocals!
Hey you is such a great song, love it ❤❤❤
Loving watching your journey u gotta do the meddle next ...welcome to the dark side of the moon
This is some great stuff! Keep on rockin, Silas! Follow your heart and slay some dragons!
Hey You belongs after Comfortably Numb as originally intended. It was moved to the front of side 3 at the last minute, I think because it has a bigger emotional punch to start off Pink's mind f*ck. Side three though actually starts in a more comfortable place. It is an empty and expansive world that has been long sought by Pink. He is truly alone. But on the album this doesn't start until, "Is There Anybody Out There?" But that is why narratively, Hey You is out of place. As intended, Hey You has that desperation that Pink's mind is taking off on it's own having been awakened from his being comfortably numb.
Starting with, "Is There Anybody Out There?", Pink's wished-for isolation is tinged with guilt as he is haunted by Marshall Dillon, from the TV show Gunsmoke, lurking in the background. In the episode of Gunsmoke called, "Fandango", Marshall Dillon is on the trail to bring a man to justice. This guilt will catch up with Pink by the end of the album. The seagull sound effects is a nice call back to the journey in Echoes that foreshadows the nightmare to come.
Nobody Home has some weight to it and continues a mental stream of conscience that will carry through the rest of the album as Pink's mind is drawn from one thing to the next. An episode of Gomer Pyle USMC is playing in the background. This is military, its a ghost of his father hanging over his mind. But in the show, in this episode, Sgt. Carter talks about the shapeliness of this girl named Rose Pilcher which immediately brings to mind an encounter Pink had with his wife; an unpleasant experience, but one that has him claiming something that is his: a black book with his poems inside. This then brings to mind the comfort of other things that are his and ones presumably he has with him behind his wall. Of course that phone call still hangs on his mind. The silver spoon used for cocaine and the grand piano are a reference to Rick Wight and his bad drug habit in the late 70s that contributed to his being fired by Roger. There are just too many references here to list them all. Suffice it to say Syd Barrett also has a part in here. A person with an urge to fly but nowhere to fly to. But Pink does segue from Gomer Pyle to the British air force in the movie, Battle Of Britain.
Love the detail. Roger takes a lot of heat for firing Richard Wright, but truth be told Dave was fully on board with the firing. Rick wasn't pulling his weight, wasn't showing up for recording sessions or rehearsals. He was in the throws of drugs and a marriage gone bad with little time left for Floyd.
As for the Pink character, he is widely interpreted as a composite of both Roger and Syd. Both scarred psychologically but for different reasons.
Don't give in
without a fight
And the worms ate into his brain
Eeww…. That’s not good 😂😂
hey where was my shout out? hahah kidding..glad to be a patreon pally...have a good holiday weekend
Some day, just for your own benefit (not a reaction video), grab a glass of wine or two (or whatever's your poison) and watch the movie The Wall. Helps put so much of this into context. Love your reactions so far!
"Silver spoon on a chain" was, back in the day, used to snort cocaine with.
The best is still to come on this album
I don't blame you for the pauses. This is a tough section to get through, and it only gets worse.
Somebody born with a silver spoon in their mouths ❤🇬🇧😊😊comes from a very privileged background
Mate!!!!
Please react to the Wall Movie.....masterpiece
It's not documented anywhere but in the song 'Nobody home', it sounds like Roger Waters could be speaking about Syd Barret once again; many of Floyd songs are tribute to him and also about him. If you are a big Floyd fan, Syd's story is worth looking at - he was the original founding member of the band.
I can't freaking wait til you hear the solo in comfortably numb Silas! I guarantee you will get Stank face! 😁
Have you learned yet that your fabourite Floyd soundscape tends to be the last one you heard?
Great to watch your enjoyment of THE BEST.
Best song on this album in my opinion.. in my year book my favorite quote was “ together we stand divided we fall “ Pink Floyd The Wall
Stoner music Pink Floyd was my favorite back in the 70's and still is.
The pinhole burns in his Satin shirt are from the seeds popping in his Joint ( POT) and the Silver spoon on a chain is for his Snortable drugs ( Coke Etc..)
The "silver spoon on a chain" refers to a coke spoon, that one would utilize to snort cocaine, a favorite pastime of rock and roll stars, which the character Pink apparently does...
You got a good ear. "Starway to heaven" and "Is there anybody out there" are both in the key of A minor.
FYI Silas. There's one song that was excluded from the album but is in the movie .... 'When the tigers broke free'
FYI Nobody's home is heavily influenced lyrically by an early Floyd song Vegetable Man, in which Syd wrote all these observational things about himself such as haircut, clothes Etc.
Hey You is a haunting song which why it just so good.
He as lots of things but not necessarily things you want (its almost what is references by the Raconteurs "intimate secretary"). The urge to fly echoes back to the song mother also.
IM 59 SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE 80S I WAS A DOPER :( I LOVED THIS ALBUM WHEN IT CAME OUT TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS THE SILVER SPOON ON A CHAIN IS A COKE SPOON THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE FEELINGS OF SYD BARRETT THE FIRST GUITARIST FOR FLOYD
'Hey, you' was mainly a David Gilmore song, and also way, it's not in the movie.
Pink Floyd The Wall a freakin freakin masterpiece.
Silver spoon reference is to Heroin use. Hence the urge to fly.
Small silver spoons were used by cocaine users in the 70s.
The inevitable pinhole burns all down the front of my favourite satin shirt... from smoking hash.
Silver spoon on a chain is a tiny spoon that was used to snort cocaine kept in a little bottle.
The verse with the silver spoon on a chain and the grand piano to prop up his mortal remains is Roger describing Richard Wright, the keyboardist. Rick’s coke habit was pretty bad at the time and he and Roger were not getting along, to put it mildly. It was a tough time. Both were going through divorces and the band had severe financial problems (basically, a money manager lost millions on bad investments and tax avoidance schemes). Shit was tense. All four have talked about it interviews over the years.
Roger actually fired Rick from the band, and in a legally binding way that he was never able to be a full-fledged member of Pink Floyd again. Funnily enough, Rick was the only one of the four to take hone a profit from the first The Wall tour that many here have described. Rick was hired on as a touring musician and paid as such, with no personal financial investment or obligations. After Roger left the band a few years later, David and Nick continued on as Pink Floyd and Rick was often there, too, just not as an “official” member.
The character “Pink” is an amalgam of several people, mainly Syd and Roger, but also bits and pieces of other musicians they knew and saw break down.
"I got a little black book with me poems in!"
Said it before, I'll say it again. Gilmour's at the top of his game on this album. Amazing guitar solos throughout.
@@pmbbmp I was praising the guitar playing, not the writing. You missed my point completely. Stay on point.
@@pmbbmp No praise? Because Waters was being a self-righteous, power-hungry, overlord ass at the time? Even Roger admitted that. David deserves more praise for putting up with Waters BS than for playing the guitar at the top of his game. You've completely twisted my entire point. Go troll someone else. I'm done here.
@@pmbbmp One in a row.
Watching the movie will make this all make sense...you may have to watch it multiple times lol.
Winston Church, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, (1940-1945), said in June in 1941, during WWII,... "Together We Stand. Divided We Fall".
A rallying cry to everyone to stand strong with the US and the Allies, to defeat Hitler.
At this point, 'Pink' feels there's a complete barrier, 'The Wall', between him and the rest of society - one that's 'too high for him to break free' - representing the extent of his breakdown . The worms here represent his mental decay. He's sitting alone in a hotel bedroom asking himself if there's "anybody out there" i.e. outside his wall with whom he can relate. The background sounds represent the TV, the programmes holding no interest to him - "thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from", thinking of his wife who he can't contact and remembering, "there was a man answering" when he phoned.
I was so happy when you did not get " the silver spoon on a chain".
When I think of The Wall, I think of "theatrical," a lot of drama, angst, and anger. Some say it's a rock opera, al la The Who's Tommy, but to me, it's more than that. It is a psychological dive into rock stardom, but its depth, power, and range is really second to none. To me, The Wall stands alone. Certainly a top 50 all-time rock 'n' roll album classic.
Silver spoon on a chain = reference to cocaine, if you have ever known anyone who has snorted coke, you will also know the wild look in their eyes.
Been there done that. The want to fly is directly related, you get a sense that you are capable of anything 💫!
During the 70's into the mid 80's drug usage was rampant. Everything from weed, coke, LSD, mescaline, peyote, MDA, to plain old alcohol. Mix them all together, what have you got🤔?
Great green globs of greasy, grimey gopher guts? Mutilated monkey meat? A scab sandwich with pus on top?
Silver spoon on a chain … to snort cocaine
,, Hey you ,, is amazing song that is not in the movie ,, The wall ,,
Acoustics are underrated in this album
Remember the young boy who was being picked on because he like to write poems and the teacher liked to put him down because of it,guess who that guy was with the silver spoon I.e coke spoon,many years later and he still liked to write poems😢
Silver spoon on a chain is for snorting cocaine. To me, the grand piano to prop up his mortal remains is where he can find some peace in rare moments of clarity, not wasted/high.
Pausing the songs as opposed to editing should help you avoid copyright issues
silver spoon on a chain,,,,back then coke was the prefered drug of choice,,,everyone wore a "coke spoon" around their necks,,,,,,a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains,,,,,an "urn" with your ashes,,,sitting atop a grand piano
The silver spoon on a chain was for taking a bump of coke. 👃
Spoon? Heroin?
@@kyles5513 You'd keep your coke (cocaine) in a little vial and it had a tiny spoon connected to it with a chain, and when you wanted a little toot you'd take a scoop of coke in your little spoon, hold it under your nostril, and snort away.
@@kyles5513 Happily I do not know if it is about Cocaine or Heroin. Never had nicotine stains or a Hendrix perm either haha! 😂
@@kyles5513 or crack.
@@angelagraves865 u preferred my car keys.
next stop: Echoes🖖
Interesting... Mussolini's mantra was "Together we stand - divided we fall"
It was a "coke" spoon!🙄🤭 All the cool guys wore 'em in the late '70s, early '80s, gold was more impressive than silver.💯 But you couldn't front, you actually had to have cocaine!🤪 Very popular drug in dicos and strip clubs......those were the days....and nights!😊 I love the way you young'uns bring back such great memories of when, where, and how I was the first time I heard these albums! I turned 18 in 1970 (old af)🤣 and it was a fantastic time to be young and crazy!🤯🤗 Great reactions!😁❤️✌️
Silver spoon on a chain is a reference to cocaine
Some of the versions you've been listening to must be remastered versions. Like nobody home.
This album made me realize what a mockery of Justice our Court System actually is.
Silver spoon on a chain would be for cocain.
"Silver spoon on a chain" is a cocaine reference.
What you do it's very important get stoned lay down and listen to the whole album you can't have one piece without the other
Watch the movie
silver spoon on a chain is a coke spoon (cocaine)...
Silver spoon on a chain is what some people use to sniff cocaine
a small silver spoon for snorting cocaine - its a thing, especially in the 70s.
the worms are a french slang term for the nazis.
Nobody Home... Roger Waters is giving us a first person narrative from Pink who has all the rock star stuff (from 1967) but he has nobody after sealing himself behind the Wall...
This dude seems like he needs to take a 5g dose of 🍄🍄🍄and listen to this music again. Alone, in the dark with headphones.
The excessive pausing completely killed this reaction.
Back then 13 channels of shit is all they had to choose from on the television lol
If one dislikes Pink Floyd then one probably doesn't like sound.
Sounds and looks like u do not get as much as I think about this masterpiece album....u missed a lot of the whole vibe....
