The movie truly ties the whole story together and brings it to life. It's a true work of art and very well executed. Once you've seen it the whole album will come to life as well, making each listen that much more impactful. It's well worth a watch, however it is very dark in tone. But I can't help to see it in my head when I hear this album, despite the decades since last watching it.
It wasn't a gimmick or a failed attempt, the movie was nearly perfect.
Totally Agree Once Silas checks it out it will all become clear it's one of those weird concept albums that needed a movie representation to make sense of the dark lyrical content
@@keithatkins4033 At least he is able to read the comments about the previous side before he's moving on to the next side. It gives him a little more idea of what the story is before he gets too deep into it.
But yeah, the movie really brings it all to life.
"Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left, you'll find my favorite ax."
An ax is another word for guitar, Silas.
Wanna hear something mindboggling? I was born in 1950. My friends and I have known Pink Floyd for 50 years! 🙂 We bought their albums one by one as they came out while we were about your age, and listened to them at will throughout all those years. And in our particular corner of the world, we even got to rediscover them a second time when we progressively mastered english and got to understand the lyrics. Isn't that mindboggling? 50 years! 😃
"Ax" is just another name for guitar. So, his "favorite ax" is actually his favorite guitar and not a battle ax. The character "Pink" in the story is a musician.
THis song is actually a big metaphor for having a violent breakdown, so Axe, as a weapon, makes perfect sense.
Could be a double meaning though.
Gilmour is the voice of Floyd to me, he sung nearly all of their classics, and he has a beautiful voice. But Roger's delivery on this album in particular is genius. One Of My Turns is so strong, and so well done. Going from cold and distant to a table flipping maniac mid-song like he did could only have been done by him. Not many could pull off that song, or would even think to try.
He needs to watch the movie. It'll blow him away
Absolutely right my dad who was a korean vet and later a christian minister told me in 1972 the genius of pink floyd is waters lyrics ,but the sound of pink floyd is Gilmour and wrights musical genius i've only been to 1 waters concert at hollywood bowl it was great ,only problem Gilmores vocals and blues style wasa'nt there
There's no one voice of Pink Floyd. There are four, Roger Syd, Rick, and Dave. Gilmour is probably the best singer among the four, but they all have contributed great vocals. Rick is probably the most underrated. I love his vocals on Time and Burning Bridges. His vocals were essential to the early Floyd sound.
Roger’s voice has been shaky at times over the years, but on this album, he was dialed in to something magic. Yes his delivery, his tone, how manic he sounds at times. It really is genius.
@@kevinsaleeba2201 rick wright is very underrated he was smooth and a very important member of pink floyd one of the very best keyboardist ever
I didn't like "Don't Leave Me Now" when it came out but now I think it's one of the most compelling songs that they've done. The self pity and the insanity of swimming in your own misery while whining "how could you do this to me" when it's clear that he was the bad apple, so well portrayed.
Well done, Silas. As others are saying, you should see the movie at some point. It helps fill in some of the details. Then come back and listen to the entire album. You will be amazed at how much information was presented through the music and the lyrics. I think it is a bit confusing to follow because there are different "characters" singing different parts, like in "Mother". I wish this lyric video would give those cues. Don't worry, you can enjoy this album for another 43 years like many of us have. :)
In a nutshell, The Wall tells the story of fictional rock star "Pink," and his journey into self isolation behind a "wall" that separates him from those around him as he slowly breaks from reality.
The death of his father in WW2, his over protective mother, over bearing teachers, are all bricks in his "wall."
At this point in the story, he finds out his wife is cheating on him back home while he's on tour.
He brings a groupie back to his hotel room then freaks out on her, destroying the room and chasing her off.
The final tracks are the final few bricks being put into place as he shuts down completely, now mentality cut off from the rest of the "cruel world."
The wall is complete.
Well put🙂
Don't worry when you get things wrong Silas or when you don't get the context we all have to start somewhere. The fact you are trying to learn is brilliant. If you get chance watch the film as it adds so much context. The first time I watched it I didn't know what to say and it took a long time to process. We all learn differently and have different experiences. Never stop learning and opening your mind to new experiences. 👍 Thanks for letting us watch your journey 😊
"Whoa... OK... I was not ready for that!" Yes, Pink Floyd kind of hits you off guard sometimes, lol! 😃
I'm glad you're doing the album in sides like this. Chopping it up like you planned would have been a huge disservice to the album and to yourself, so I'm glad that was scrapped right away. Side Two is so powerful, it's my favorite. Roger nailed it.
And the way that Side Two cuts off so hard at the last "good bye" is amazing.
He isn’t though. Side 2 has been chopped up by him.
@@wolfeflambe He's listening to the whole side of a record in one sitting, the only thing wrong are the transitions are messed up. Any other editing is being done afterwards due to copywrite issues.
His favorite axe was one of his guitars.
multiple listens will make things clearer,so i hope in your off screen time you are going back and hearing things you may have missed the first time around. for instance the girl who said,"oh my god what a fabulous room!" is a groupie the character "pink" has taken back to his hotel room trying to get over the realization that while he's been on tour his wife cheated on him. one of his "turns" means he's bipolar and given to fits of rage which you hear as he trashes the hotel room. you're not expected to get everything the first time around,so just keep listening in your own time and it'll come to you. people keep saying "watch the movie". keep in mind when the album was released the movie version was years away. the audio is all we had to figure out this very complex story, and in a way it's more satisfying.
Keep in mind when hearing the lyrics that sometimes there is more than one character speaking, usually sung by a different band member. This will help you understand what's going on a little better.
Always a pleasure to watch someone reacting to Pink Floyd for the first time. I'm a huge fan of the band, and listened endlessly to The Wall when I was 15/16. I knew the album well before my cousin got me the video of the film, which then made everything slot into place and make sense, and I highly recommend you check it out once you you're familiar with the music.
When I was a bit younger than you are now my older brother introduced me to all of it. Zep, who, Rush, Floyd. He would always say ," YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS ". put the headphones on me and off I went, transported to the another world. I'm 59 now and I love watching listen and jam out to the same songs I did. I envy your journey, ,but as long as you keep doing these video's, ill be right there jamming with you.
Can't wait to see the next video. You'll love the rest of the album
Hope you are feeling better soon. I am really enjoying your Pink Floyd reactions, you are doing well. On each relisten everything will become even more clear to you. And I have no doubt you actually Want to hear everything again
Sides 3 and 4 just get better and better. This is my favorite rock album of all time. When you listen again do the whole album start to finish. It’s quite a journey.
Great reactions. 👍 If you feel like something other than Pink Floyd or Led Sep I can recommend the Argus album by the group called Wishbone Ash 👀
When I first heard the whole Album The Wall 😀 This one was just SOOOOOOOO dark in tone and color not that there other albums didn't have that quality either 😀😃🙂🙃😊 But this one took that quality too a such a high level and alot of it was due too this man's creative Super genius Roger Waters 😀 He creates such a endless syphony of moods with the music and story telling and the characters tgat truly get sucked into tjis album and the musical story 😀 I equivalent it too a Really Great Opera recording or live performance 😀😃🙂🙃 IT took me on such a journey mind blowned and forever changed in my early youth as a teen in every way especially creatively on what the possibilities of that word can truly mean in what you are trying too express or create and what your passion and desires are with in that and how too bring them out where your choices limit or emmensely enhance limitless options or texture too your creative side 😀 All that I took from listening too Pink Floyd s music but especially this album it opened SOOOOOOOO many creative doors 😀 There creativity is just beyond reach and beyond imagination and I just love it 😀 Truly Masters OF There Craft IN EVERY WAY Period 😀😃🙃😇😃🙂🙃😊
I love what you did. You're willingness to hear this makes me hopeful. It is truly the greatest album ever produced IMHO.
When i left the stadium of Roger Waters tour of The Wall a few years back now.. I thought "Well, I can die now because I'm never going to experience a better concert in my life again!!
Axe is slang for a guitar
In the suitcase?
As I know axe is slang for guitar, I think in the song he actually is talking about an axe.
@@aldobaglio205 I always took it as his favorite guitar is protected and still in its case while all the other show guitars are strewn around the hotel room. I think axe is a guitar.
@@kyles5513 The song is a musician on tour with a groupie. He scares her off when he trashes the hotel room. Musicians frequently travel with a favourite guitar. They almost never travel with an implement to chop down trees.
@@cutthr0atjake ya, but pink was a crazy guy. That's the point I was getting across.
Rock on Silas! Soak it all in!
Dude! if you really want to get the full meaning of this album, watch the video movie that encompasses the full album. It is truely groundbreaking, as long as it isn't blocked. Enjoying your reactions none-the-less!
I might be misunderstanding "video movie", but if I'm not, The Wall movie was released in cinema's.
@@direnova6284 That's the one. Have you seen it? If not, like I said, the album will have a greater impact. Just my opinion. Thanx for the reply.
@@stephensignor7848 Yeah, I saw it when it was released in theatre's, it was all great except when they had the crashing of broken furniture over Gilmour's guitar break :)
@@direnova6284 Yeah, I hear ya there. I never get tired of watching though. Animation was over the top!
Loving the reaction and so many other have commented to clarify things. In One Of My Turns Rockstar Pink has brought a groupie back to his hotel apartment and she is talking at the start. When he rages out about the man who answered his phone at his house he is actually answering all her questions but as a raging maniac who smashes everything up before smashing a window and threatening to throw first her then himself out. This man has turned into a monster.
The Wall ain't party music, Silas. It's not for everyone, but it is an "important" album with lots of spectacular stuff on it. There is a dissertation or two written about it. There are more universal themes here than just Water's autofiction story of the character "Pink." Watch the movie sometime.
U need to watch the movie the wall, KILLER
Agreed. Then go back and listen to the album again and realize how tightly the story is told in these songs.
Once you see the movie "The Wall", you'll understand the complete story behind the songs.
No matter what you listen to , and enjoy, for the rest of your young life, you will always come back to Floyd at some stage. Even if its only to mellow or get your thoughts into sequence. You will page back and certain songs will be the anecdote. Dave south africa
The movie is a great ride and gives context to a few unclear sections of the album
an interesting paralell here the first track here the tv in the background is playing an american sitcom "Another world" though it itself had some controversial themes, you can hear Mrs Bancroft being refered to in the background this maybe deliberate cross reference to Anne Bancroft who Starred in "the Graduate" linking to young lust.
Silas the WALL album (Double LP) was released on November 30th 1979 … the movie 🎥 “The Wall” hit THEATERS on August 13th 1982 . I guess I listened to it several hundred times in between 1979-1982 before WE saw the FILM !The FILM also had EXTRA music which had not been released yet . That really blew our minds . That extra music and more were released the NEXT year in 1983 on what was to be Waters last album with Pink Floyd … “The Final Cut” . PLEASE go back and cover their very 1st LP “Piper At The Gates Of Dawn” (1967) with SYD BARRETT on guitar before his friend David had to step in. Fantastic job … I’ve seldom seen a reactor not mess up Pink Floyd until now. Massive thanks young man !!! 🎸🎥🎸
The only song in the movie that's not on the album is "When The Tigers Broke Free", although we also get a longer version of "Empty Spaces". There is nothing on The Final Cut from the Wall movie. Some of The Final Cut was written for inclusion in The Wall but was left off.
Wow I have learned a lot from peoples comments while watching Silas’ reactions . Yes I had to remember that the song “Tigers” was broken into 2 parts within the film … and the extended “Empty Spaces” . I had to go read up on the other songs that were left off that partially made up “The Final Cut”. I always thought that one or two more pieces were partially used . Strange that some of the songs in the film are different versions as well . I need to study up on that too. Still leaning things about a 43 year old album . I’m going to watch the film now… it’s been a while ! 👍🎥🎸✌️
@@farmersteve661 And for some reason the haunting "Hey You" was not included in the movie.
If you see the film after listening to the album, it will help a great deal. The movie's quite good.
"Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left, you'll find my favorite Axe!"
Favorite lyric ever.
It’s a shame they cut and edited the music to get to the next line of lyrics in all these songs...there must be better uncut versions available to listen to...when you’re done, see if you can find the full release and enjoy.
It’s a mess. I couldn’t get through it. Why bother if you have to chop it up to upload it.
Movie, movie, movie!
See the movie. It's a trippy nightmare but will explain all.
Re the chilling lyric, "I feel cold as a razor blade," a bit of trivia: Eight years before The Wall was released, Leonard Cohen sang, "I'm cold as a new razor blade" in his debut album Songs of Leonard Cohen. Cohen was a genius, maybe sometime you want to react to a song or two of his Silas.
And speaking of lyrics, predating the "You'll find my favorite axe" lyric was a great Pink Floyd Song whose title and only lyric was, "Careful with that Axe, Eugene."
Watch the movie.
Side 3 gonna have some bangers
Favorite axe = favorite guitar
You need to go back after the end and listen in ONE sitting. It’s a story that unfolds. All the tracks are linked because they are all a part of the story of the breakdown of Pink.
The more you listen to the Wall, along with the movie starring Bob gelfof the more you marvel at its,depth and storytelling from Roger Waters, I went through a difficult period in my late teens early 20's , I fell...literally... Deeeeeep in the Wall.. 😂..the lyrics..lol...everything..into my own self created abject misery , but in so many ways the heavyness of this album helped me find my light again.
I think you missed the point the phone call was him calling home and another man picking up the phone and hangig up. That's why he sings about the love of the marriage draining away. He is then with groupies who he goes crazy with and starts destroying the room.
This album was made when society at the time wouldn't know the term mental health issues, you would just get a slap on the face and told to pull yourself together. How things have changed for the better ❤🇬🇧😊😊🙂
Loving The Wall Reaction, Just wish it didn't need to be blurred & The Annoying Skipping on songs!
“favorite axe” is his
favorite electric guitar 🎸
Do yourself a favor and watch the movie. Its directed by Alan Parker. It really is masterpiece in its own right.
One of my turns... He's flipping into a depressive rage. He'sad, he's sad, then he's pissed. RUN THRU THE BEDROOM, IN THE SUITCASE ON THE LEFT, YOU'LL FIND MY FAVORITE AXE (guitar). He's laying into a groupie who came back to his hotel room, when he's at his lowest. The shift in music represents this rage taking hold.
Dark and dangerous message, yet presented with great variety, subtlety, and tact, not just a metal band screaming at a fevered pitch song to song. It takes guts and intelligence to tell a story using a changing dynamic to express anger, sadness, and loss. Dark Side of the Moon is great, but this may just be their best album as regards message, composition, and delivery. Amazing.
Watch the movie (after finished reacting to the album) 👍🇬🇧
I happy cheery way to end the day!
Axe is a reference to a guitar
I got married in Nov. of 1979 and went into the USAF right out of high school.Now to this day I'm still adding bricks to our wall.There may be a time it gets so high that we don't see each other.I'm not dead just really high.
For context you really need to check out the movie. Great vid Silas
I don’t blame you for the cuts. Sometimes I yearn for the days when RUclips allowed one more freedom for this sort of thing.
Really enjoying your reactions to this album and all of Pink Floyd. You should watch the movies before you do side two record two. Back when I was in high school I listened to the album to it warped, the went to the cassette till that warped then bought it on hold CD that was 1986. To this day my sister can't listen to this album.
Pink Floyd also has a music video/movie...that will clear a little confusion for you. Please watch it just for the insane experience.
A lot backstory too.. Roger Waters father was killed in WW2 before he was born. His grandfather was killed in WW1 before his father was born.
Segway is the word when one song flows into another. 😃
The Movie is going to BLOW You Away.
His favorite axe is his guitar,,,,👍👍👍😎
Goodbye Cruel World is the end of the first record. He has decided to seal himself inside his “Wall”.
Goodbye Cruel World once again good back to Sid. His mind kind of shut down to the point of being unreachable. I know this well, as my nephew can suffer from something similar. He had this friend who he was so worried about, that he just crawled into a ball, and repeated the Sai m same words over and over. We had to take him to his doctor at that point. Sid's case is worse, as he is completely gone, hence goodbye cruel world, I'm leaving you today.
This is a concept album Roger Waters wrote with a Movie in mind there's a theme running all the way through it which will make more sense to you once you've seen it.
Axe is a slang like term for guitar
Well... Onto the next disc
YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE MOVIE
Spoiler alert: TV out the window
an "axe" is a slang term for a guitar. A "turn" is a temporary mental episode. "Don't mind grandma, she's having one of her turns." Keep going.
Very British.
Would love to see and hear your girlfriends reaction to this whole album. Peace!
See the movie!
You must see the movie. All your questions will be answered.
Watch the video for echos I and II.
„One of my turns“ and „Don’t leave me now“ are probably the most messed up songs Waters has ever written.
So disturbing and dark.
Comfortably numb. Someone gave hi. A pill before a concert and it messed him up but gave him energy enough to get threw the concert. ( i think )
Listen to The Wall again in its entirety uninterrupted then watch the movie The Wall ... it'll all make perfect sense
So on the first half you have all the major events in his life that make him basically build a wall up around himself as a coping mechanism (dad dying in war, overprotective mother, abusive teachers at school, horrible illness that almost kills him as a child, finally after abusing his wife she leaves him). Last part, he brings home a groupie to his hotel but he snaps, scares the shit out of her, destroys the room and has complete mental breakdown (goodby cruel world!). In the next to sides you see the "new Pink' post breakdown, strap in younge man!
You like how they intertwine,
Life.
Side B
As lots of people have said, you need to watch the movie of the album.
Watch the movie, you will understand it better.
Some of the transitions on the clips you're listening to are a little bit wonky and more startling than they are on the album, haha, but that was probably done for copyright reasons.
Roger Waters wrote this after a confrontation with a rowdy audience and he was provoked to spit on the concertgoer. It is about desire to build a wall between the musicians and the audience. It is not about drugs but being sick of the audience not listening to the music. During the tour of the album they built a wall of styrofoam bricks and at the end when the judge says tear down the wall the whole wall come tumbling down revealing the band. If you want to see the best recreation of the wall live, see roger waters, Live at the Berlin wall when they were in the process of tearing it down. 750,000 people were there as well as a cast of thousands including the Red Army choir, the berlin philharmonic orchestra, Van Morrison, Cindy Lauper, 100's of children singing A Brick in the wall and the Scorpions playing "Pink and his Band". It is worth every second of your time to watch it.
The final lines of 1 of my turns are direct responses to the females questions at the begining.Q. are these all your guitars? A. In the suitcase on the left you'll find my favourite axe(guitar) Q. Wanna take a bath? A. slip between the sheets. Q.drink of water? A. something to eat Q.what are u watching? A.Would you like to watch TV? Q.hello? A.Contemplate silent freeway. Q are you ok? A.This is just a passing phase
The Movie Silas. Please watch the movie "The Wall"
...then come back and let us know what you thought/felt of it.
By the way Hawkwind are another great Psychedelic Rock band you might like to check out sometime
Just letting you know some of your videos skip it happened on Darkside of the Moon and the wall albums could be possibly copyright issues which is why it might be happening I’m not sure
Since he wasn't a lumberjack but had a "favorite" axe, it's safe to assume he was probably violent!🙄💯😫✌️
The album makes more sense if you watch The Wall movie. You can tell that Roger is delivering the lyrics.
Video is still jumping.
He's editing it like that to avoid get blocked for copyright issues.
Should watch the movie
Watch the film
Axe is slang for guitar, not Battle Axe ;-)
That dialogue you hear from a young girl is a groupie Pink brings to his hotel, after discovering his wife had been unfaithful. He gets angry breaks things in the hotel. Lashes out at her. The groupie gets scared and runs away from Pink and out of the hotel. Now do you understand?
Watch the film!! Sorry... The movie! 😊
WATCH THE MOVIE
Watch the Movie
Remember from the previous song is Pink's realization that his wife has left him for another man while he is on tour in the US. So now he is holed up in his hotel room lamenting the loss of his wife when a groupie finds her way into his room. Groupies are sexual predators and Pink is a mere victim to their wiles. So, in his mind he is blameless for the break up with his wife. The TV in the background plays like an internal dialog as it responds to this interloper. It repeats the name "Mrs. Bancroft", an allusion to Anne Bancroft who starred in the movie, The Graduate, and she played the part of Mrs. Robinson, the sexual predator to the Dustin Hoffman character Benjamin Braddock. There is this one famous scene where Mrs. Robinson lures Ben into her daughter's bedroom. She then slips into the bathroom, undresses and traps Benjamin in the bedroom. Ben then runs off. Waters actually recorded this from a number of episodes of the daytime soap opera, "Another World" the last week of September of 1979.
As the groupie runs off, the next song starts as he is reminded again of his wife running off with another man. The sound of breathing is a hint that this all is playing inside Pink's head. The whole album is a continuous replaying of the justification of this psychological wall which always ends the same way. But it plays over and over. Ultimately having beaten himself up lamenting the loss of his wife he breaks through by smashing the televisions that represent the outside world telling how he should live. He makes a complete break from the outside world with a simple good bye.
Pink will find out that being alone with his own mind is not a blessing but a curse. And it is soon to turn on him in the coming episodes.
Watch the wall movie and you will get it after you watch it
