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.

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.

@somersetcace1 Ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.

You will have to learn the difference between David Gilmour's voice, (beginning of song), and Roger Water's voice (8:06).

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.

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.

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.

@ocgmercury Ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

@deanroddey2881 Ай бұрын

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.
