I went to school in Scotland in the 1960's and believe me, this was NOT out of the ordinary. Teachers were brutal.

Pink Floyd are a British national treasure legendary band. 🇬🇧

The boy's poetry, trivialized by the teacher, is actually a snippet of lyrics from Floyd's song "Money" off Dark Side of the Moon album. Prefer the version of this song from the Pulse concert. It's hard to hear the music over all the sound effects in the video

It's about teenage rebellion against authority, that stifles creativity. In favor of uniformity. That's the rebellion.

Nick Mason stated in an interview that it was not education but the corporal punishment that was the protest.

The poetry that the teacher was reading are the lyrics to a Pink Floyd song. Can you remember which one have you done money yet? Yes it’s money. I don’t think you’ve done money. Check it out. It’s a good one. It’s off the best concept album, dark side of the Moon.

"We don't need no thought control" had a huge impact on me when I first heard the song.

what could be better than seeing how someone else, in this case Stacey, enjoys Pink Floyd

This song was a UK No.1 single at xmas 1979

When I was a kid, my friends and I marched around the playground chanting "We don't need no education!" 😂

That was Roger Waters yelling out “You can’t have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat!” Rogers Waters was the bass player, and one of the founding members. He also wrote many of the songs. He left the group in the 1980s. That was Richard Wright’s son-in-law playing the bass in the Pulse concert. Richard Wright was the keyboardist. Roger Waters came back for a fundraising concert in 2006. That was a nice reunion. Your reactions are very professional, Stacey. Thank you again.

The Wall played practically non-stop on FM radio when it came out. One of the great concept albums of all time. Also a great animated, surrealist musical drama film.

" Sorrow " from the pulse. Another great guitar solo.

I love the Pink Floyd path that you are following Stacey! Your reactions are heartwarming! :)

Please check out the live version of Another Brick in the Wall from the PULSE concert. It is outstanding!

(Apologies for any redundancies) What you saw was an excerpt of the 1982 feature film directed by Alan Parker based on the 1979 album. So it also has the prior song “The Happiest Days of Our Lives”, which helps set up the “education” of Pink. Gerald Scarfe was also the de-facto production designer for the film in addition to providing the animation (a lot of it was already made for the live shows). This included the maze / conveyor belt / students turned into mincemeat. (Gerald Scarfe did do a separate music video of that song specifically and it was made because it became a Christmas #1 and thus would air on Top of the Tops) Yes, this is the one time Pink Floyd flirted with disco. What was originally just going to be a one verse “interlude”. It was due to Bob Ezrin, one of the album’s producers, who could hear it as a disco tune and that’s how you hear it today =] The children’s voices were from kids attending the Islington Green School, London. This was thanks to an adventurous music teacher who offered to use a “field trip” as a way to get them to sing a “subversive” song. And yes, you got it out of the bat and way better than some of the UK press at the time, who even called it “obscene”. In fact, this was adopted as a “protest song” in South Africa.

Stacy I find your reaction videos to Pink Floyd enjoyable and interesting.Seeing young people like yourself learning to appreciate the music I grew up with make me realize how lucky I was to grow up with these and other bands of the time. Pink Floyd toured with the Wall two years running and I was lucky enough to see them both times at Earls Court in London which sadly is no longer there.Keep up the good work and I hope you carry on enjoying your Pink Floyd journey because each video puts a smile on my face and makes me appreciate how lucky I was.

You really understood it all, impressive to see you get “under the skin” of Pink Floyd, their music and the meaning of it all. It as a really adventure to follow your journey here! 🎸👍

Can you believe this is a disco song, even Pink Floyd had to embark on that train. The song played every where there was a dance floor.

Pink Floyd the wall needs to be listened (watched) from beginning to end. Another masterpiece. Cheerz!!!

I remember being 12,yrs old taking the train from the Bronx to NYC and waiting on a massive line to buy this album at tower records on Times Square day it was released. Don’t worry to much about understanding the lyrics. Just enjoy the vibe. If you go back later you’ll get the meaning. BTW Great Job With the Channel Miss Stacey

The video is actually made out of two songs from the album 'The Wall'. It starts with the song 'The Happiest Day of Their Lives' where the teacher first is bullying Pink = Roger because of him writing poetry and continues at the teachers home where he is dominated by his wife. After this the actual 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2' is following. On the als album this section starts with 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1', followed by 'The Happiest Day of Their Lives' and continued by 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 1'.

It' great to see younger generations so enthusiastic about Pink Floyds music. On the lyric video of the song Time, during David's guitar solo the lyrics said, "Eargasm." I think that describes it perfectly. Great reaction.

The director is Alan Parker. He did an entire incredible videoclip of this movie in 1979. English Victorian education was really hard in the past. Very impressive and visual. The story of Pink, the main character, is actually very sad. A rock star with a traumatic past.

I graduated high school in June of '79 when this song was huge on the radio. Our graduating senior class voted overwhelmingly to use this as our class song at graduation. The school refused to play it and replaced it with Feelings by Chuck Mangione. Funny thing, I went on to become a middle school science teacher. The best concert I ever saw was Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1988. They played for nearly 4 hours. Flew the giant inflatable pig from the Animals album cover from the stage to a crane outside the stadium.

The poem the teacherquoted is a part of the lyrics of the song Money from the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon'. In 'The Wall' Album the main character is named Pink (by the way Pink was already used in the Song 'Have a Cigar' from the Album 'Wish You Were Here'. Pink = Roger (in the movie played by Bob Geldorf -> the one who initiated Live Aid in 1985 and Live 8 in 2005 -> the last time all 4 members of Pink Floyed played a convert together) is the one building the wall around himself. A wall were many of the people surrounding him like his mother, his teachers, his wife etc. helped to complete it.

We were a lucky generation to have such socially aware bands popping up everywhere with unique and unforgettable music,nice reaction 👍🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️

Educators of the era when the Pink Floyd band members were school-aged were very stern, and their goal was uniformity over individualism. The kids weren't rebelling against learning per se, but were rather rebelling against that type of education. Kids growing up in the era of the postwar environment lived in a dramatically different world than the students of today. As a 59 year old man & father, I have seen many changes in educational processes for students. And yes, you must watch the movie "The Wall" to see how everything ties together. Pink Floyd music is rarely about a song being the body of work. Typically, the entire album is the body of work, with all of the different song titles tying in together. Thank you for your interest in such iconic music like Pink Floyd.

Sorrow (the pulse version) is another great song to react to.

This song, along with "Money" (from the Dark Side of the Moon album), were a lot of people's introduction to Pink Floyd. The band had been around for quite a while prior to this, but these were their first songs played on mainstream top 40 radio. That opened the floodgates for a lot of new Floyd fans... and the rest is history!

I love that you picked the movie version of this song.

Another great reaction Stacey, you’re getting it. It’s great to see the younger generation seeing the same things that I saw 50 years ago. Great music doesn’t die. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Cannot wait to see your reaction to Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Very good Stacey,you got the most of this song. Keep up the good work. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤

Pink Floyd has been one 1⃣ of my favourite groups ❤️1️⃣⬆️1️⃣⬆️1️⃣👁❗️🎶🎵

That's from the movie version of the wall. Plus to put it in context this in the 1940s, so different era.. You have to start with Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, Animals, The wall, the final cut....

This video is from the film The Wall starring Bob Geldof as Pink

You should listen to Marooned by Pink Floyd. Ideally find the official music video too, it's spectacular and was only put together in 2014 but hits much harder now with what's happening in Ukraine. In fact they won a GRAMMY for it.

School was a LOT more strict back then. Great reaction, you did a good job grasping the underlying meaning. Intelligence is refreshing, thank you.

The student-teacher dynamic in this video represents the student-teacher dynamic in england all of those decades ago. My friend's dad often refers to this video to describe exactly what school was like over there back then. Cheers! Looking forward to more PF. :-)

Great reaction, one more time. Hugs from Italy

Classic! Thanks for rocking the Floyd!

Its worth listening to the whole album. The "The Wall" album by Pink Floyd is a concept album that tells the story of a rock star named Pink who is struggling with fame, drug addiction, and mental illness. Pink is left with feelings of abandonment caused by the death of his father in World War II. He is traumatised by his dealings with authority figures such as an over-protective mother and abusive schoolteachers and in the ultimate act of defiance, becomes a rock star. "The Wall" is a complex and ambitious album that explores themes of isolation, alienation, and the search for meaning in life. It is a powerful and moving work that continues to resonate with listeners today.

The video is actually part of the 1982's "Pink Floyd - The Wall." It's a brilliant tear-jerker which explains the album, perfectly, for me. When I saw it 38 years ago, i s changed forever! "Another Brick In The Wall" was played religiously throughout the '80s, and I never got tired of it. Thank you for your insights & I can't wait for you to review the album.

Stacey you are a true Gem! Love watching your reactions. And yes my profile picture is a NASA picture of the Dark Side of the Moon

Your intelligence shines through your reactions. You are very insightful and you are "well spoken" in your delivery. Your beauty is also a big plus! Pink Floyd is my favorite group and David Gilmour is from another world! Floyd Fans appreciate your "deep dive" into the Floyd experience. I think you will also enjoy Dire Straits. Provocative lyrics, and Mark Dopler is a great guitarist and in a class with Gilmour. Alvin Lee is also a great blues guitarist. I would recommend "Bluest Blues". It is a great Blues song which highlights Alvin's guitar skills and also features George Harrison on the "slide" guitar. Again, thanks for another great reaction.

When I hear the song, it sends shivers down my spine. I felt almost the same way at school, and I was also beaten and mocked for writing poems and stories. I also often can't listen to the song because it makes me so emotional and it brings tears to my eyes.

This would be your gateway to the movie The Wall. It is an essential Pink Floyd experience.

Their only UK number 1 - for Christmas 1979. Would love to see you go earlier in their cataloge - Echoes. It is a long one though, whole side of an album, but it takes you on such a journey.

The 1st Pink Floyd album should be the very first one released in 1967 with original member Syd Barret

I'll explain David Gilmour's style. Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote: David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement. His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror. David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer. Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it like an Opera Singer. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines. About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform. For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking. A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos. I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it. When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...." I thought, WHAT THE HELL? I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time. Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning. That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement. Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!" All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time. However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time. If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired) It goes from B down to E and repeats. David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play." To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist. Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉 Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤ Alice Cooper said something like, "Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉 ❤😊🎉 David Gilmour is my favorite Guitarist and Artist 🎉 Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice 🎉

This was the one and only Number.1 by Pink Floyd, a real seminal moment in music. Even today this song sounds so fresh, it still sounds so revelant for todays times. The Wall is a great album, you really need to listen to it through, it has so many layers, a true concept album.

A great band to do reaction vids to is Rush. Any song from the Permanent Waves album would be a good place to start:-)

from the movie, "the wall" a must see

Ah ha! So this song rings true to my own experience growing up in an English-style school system out here in the colonies hehe. We had a few teachers of this fellow's sort, and the general feeling was that teachers were to be feared, and children to be 'seen and not heard', as the saying went. Now, being out in a very different environment than England, many of the teachers were less strict than the one depicted, but still. In fact, my mother was a teacher who came from England to teach here in Bermuda, was extremely well educated and well liked by her students. But yes, I do remember Mrs. D, who we did indeed fear, and would certainly have done exactly what we see here depicted lol.

That was all part of life as a kid growing up, sometimes you run into teachers that you seemed to not hit it off and would make it tough on you, but in the long run little did they know they were making you mentally stronger and tougher and that's why you don't mess with the older generation they were brought up different than any of the younger generations of the last 30 year's. But now I will also say there we're some outstanding teachers also that gave you what you needed be it a good education or a good paddling when you didn't do what you were supposed to do or be a good kid in class lol, a lot of music like Heart and Pink Floyd, ACDC, or Led Zeppelin, and meny more classic bands like the Eagles and Journey as a teenager I had the pleasure of growing up listening to these iconic bands and the time I had running loose outdoors in the streets of my small town or deep in the woods exploring the trails and creeks and rivers unsupervised sometimes just by myself or with friends those were the days and times ill never forget, im now in my fifty's, but I still remember a lot of things and a lot of songs rock, classic rock, 80tys big hair bands and round it all off with classical and country music i believe I've just about heard every song out there with the exception of probably a few that i wasn't interested in even though im not much into rap I've even heard some of it also.

Look what there teaching kids today in England's schools, like back in the day do your job do not complain. The schools are mind control work until you retire then die quick so they do not have to pay a pension. Unless your rich the rest are screwed. Loved this song when I was at school, sing it all time got the cane for saying I don't need no education to the headmaster.

watch the movie : Pink Floyd the wall the movie

LOVE watching you react to Pink Floyd Stacey! BTW, GREAT chair dancing!!!

Interestingly, I had an art teacher, when I was 15, tell me I had no talent so there was no point in trying. I later went to one of the finest art schools in the world winning a scholarship. I've won over a dozen awards, It's been my life. This song resinates totally. Great reaction. Thanks Stacey!!!

I am 31 now, and some of my earliest memories are listing to everything 60's-70's. I am talking 4 years old traveling down the 101 from Lompoc to Santa Ana where my grandparents lived. Now that my grandpa who has always been my best friend is gone, I cherish every single memory I have of him and of the music that was listened to on our way to see them. It's amazing being able to relate to America's Ventura Highway when it is a road we traveled on often. I have been fortunate enough in life to have a job that allows myself and family to continue to live on the central coast with the price of life continuing to rise. More often than not, people have to move away due to cost of living, or they are old friends that I now see walking the streets homeless. Sure politics have gone to shit like a lot of places, but this is my home, and the music has and will continue to be a part of every moment. I have been able to take the Mama's and the Papa's California Dreamin' and make it a reality. Even though my grandma has been in Arkansas for years, I still make it a goal to drive down twice a year and go visit the house that we used to visit. I have become friends with every single family that has lived in that house on North Wright street. No matter how weird it might seem or feel, they get to see me re-live small moments of my childhood and they have always loved it. Some of the same families live on the street still from when I was a child, and they love seeing my wife and I because they know how much Grandma and Grandpa Ernie mean to me, and they were loved so much by the neighborhood.

The "poems" that the teacher read to embarrass this boy were lyrics from a song called "Money" - which is great as well. Song just had its 50th anniversary.

My first exposure to this song was back in 1980 or 81, and I was 7 or 8 years old at my grandmas house. She was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, and we would listen to this song on vinyl every time that I visited. I flash back to that time every time that I hear it!

I was 11 years old when this song came out. Living in Germany we don't have school like it was in GB. Our teachers were more modern. But - this song get the hymn of our generation, too!

This movie 🍿 never gets dusty in my home. The story is DEEP. Please do a live reaction of it. Your life will never be the same.

I watched your perceptions from your Mother reaction, and noticed them here in this reaction as well. You definitely need to watch the movie to know and understand these songs and the full story. (When the teacher was reading the poem words in front of the class, hint, they were from the song Money - another of your excellent Pink Floyd reactions). It has been awhile since I've seen it, and this video reminded me of it all. I need to watch it again myself. I love your mutual reactions to your Pink Floyd songs. Keep doing Floyd songs. There are oh, so many.

Hey Stacey 😊 Love your reaction! This video is taken from the movie! I had "the cuts" 4 times in primary school. "The cuts" was a cool slang term for "the cane". There was a certain pride amongst boys about getting "the cuts". The more "cuts" you got without crying the more bragging rights you got. Boys would wait outside the Principle's office waiting to see if you cried. The more "cuts" you got without crying the more prestige you earned. "Wow! Stevo just copped 6 cuts without crying. I don't wanna fight him!" It built your reputation as being tough! Corporal punishment in schools was part of the "rule of thumb". The "rule of thumb law" was that a husband could whip his wife with a cane, as long as that cane wasn't any wider than his thumb and he didn't raise his hand above his shoulder. This is just how things were! I'm stoked to see you see part of the movie! I am REALLY enjoying seeing you go on the PF journey. I get excited about watching it 😮😃😅 Thank you so much Stacey 😊 I would love to see your reaction after watching the entire movie 😮😃 Now for the next vid lol 😊❤

I highly recommend you watch the wall concert with Roger Waters . He was the bass player and main song writer of Pink Floyd before he and the band parted ways. The whole wall album is played while a huge wall is being built in real time between the band and the audience. The whole thing is beyond astonishing to see and hear . I saw it live twice and it was comparable to the pulse concert which I also saw live. It'll blow your mind.

Good to see you ~ jamming out to Floydicus Pinkus! You must be a vision on the dance floor! Thanks for being genuine. This is the same album and life story of the young fictitious musician, Pink, that you heard in “Comfortably Numb”. Here, he’s a youth, trying to cope with the stresses of a young child’s life. The teacher is one of the people that Pink learns to distance himself from, to spare himself pain. He begins to build The Wall. By the point of “Comfortably Numb”, The Wall is complete, and he’s trapped himself in a life he hates. You really nailed your interpretation; well done. When you pointed out that the song could apply to bosses, or other authority figures, I agree with your insight. But one important element of “The Wall” is the passage of time. Over the course of four album sides, Pink grows up. He changes, and grows, and his perspectives change. I’ve rarely seen that happen with authority figures with whom I’ve spent time. You may want to listen to the album cut of this song, off-line. It’s not really different musically, but it’s tighter without the interruptions in the music video. And if you like rocking out, try reacting to PF’s “Run Like Hell” (the PULSE version, naturally!) which was the show’s finale many nights on that tour. (It’s worth reacting to, just to watch that incredible stage and light show in full-throated ROAR.) It’s been such a pleasure to watch you discover and explore this incredible group. You’re right, their songs deal with so many unusual topics. And rarely do they write simplistic, boring love songs, like so many others do. It’s actually hard to explain to folk why they should listen to Pink Floyd, or what their songs are about. They really are an experience, and you have to experience them personally. I’ll suggestion reacting to “Coming Back To Life” next ~ if you close your eyes, David’s ethereal opening solo will lead you through the universe. (“While you were hanging yourself on someone else’s words, Dying to believe in what you heard”) Or “Money”, which has been used in so many movies, TV shows, and sporting-event broadcasts over the intervening 50 years that you may already have heard snippets of it. And of course I’m still beating the Two Steps From Hell drum. Their musical genre is called ‘Epic’, and the term very much applies. Try reacting to “Norwegian Pirate” (one of the two composers worked with Hans Zimmer on “Pirates Of The Caribbean”), “Pegasus”, or “Flight Of The Silverbird”.

Was fortunate enough to be a member of the London Fire Brigade' standing by' when they filmed some of those scenes, a few miles up the road Full Metal Jacket was filmed. Just for info.

♥♥♥♥♥ 😊 An interesting story happened to the schoolchildren who sang in this track. At first they were not paid anything, and they sang in secret from their school (Islington Green School). But after the release of the album, the secret was revealed and Pink Floyd were forced to pay the school 1 thousand pounds, and the schoolchildren who participated in the recording were given tickets to the Pink Floyd concert in Earls Court. But that is not all. In 1997, due to changes in the law, all session musicians finally gained the right to demand payment for the tracks on which they participated. Then Peter Rowan, an expert on royalties, began to look for the schoolchildren who took part in the recording of the track. There are currently 20 former Islington Green pupils on the fee list. Peter does not disclose the exact amount that will now be credited to their account every year, but, apparently, it is not small. He only said that it was not 10 pounds, but not a hundred thousand pounds, but somewhere in the middle. Not a bad Christmas bonus for those who “don't need no education”. By the way, a similar story happened with a little-known session singer, who sang in the famous composition “The great gig in the sky” from the album “Dark side of the moon”. She was initially paid only £30, and then, much later, the matter was settled behind closed doors.

More than 50 years and still touches people that recognise music and lyrics

By now you could really do some of their masterpieces: 1) Echoes Live In Pompeii 1971/72 2) Shine On You Crazy Diamond (album-version) 3) Dark Side Of The Moon (complete album in one go) 4) Dogs (album version)

I remember riding in the school bus in 7th grade on the last day of school and the bus driver cranking up this song for all the kids. That was over forty years ago. Some moments just stick with you.

I remember leaving school in 1979 and I also remember getting the cane. This was how the UK WAS.

Bob Geldolf, of the Boomtown Rats, played Pink in The Wall. Amazing movie.

Great reaction and i agree with your comments. Love Pink Floyd.

Musically, Pink Floyd are both collectively and individually at genius level. They see the world with an honest eye. This is why I like your reactions...For YOUR honesty. Please don't ever stop viewing the world witha critical eye. It's a lesson we all need to heed. **edited typos**

The first song was The Happiest Days Of Our Lives leading into ABITW. You are watching the versions from The Wall feature film. There was another less brutal promo music video for the song

Pay attention to the photograph sitting next to the phone at the end, it's a photo of Bob Geldof who would later go on to be the organizer of the LIVE AID-USA for Africa concert in 1985. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth the next year and he became Sir Bob Geldof.

This album dropped when I was going into high school in the fall of 1979…its depth and its meaning has changed for me several times over the years. Pink Floyd continues to hit me unexpectedly and hold a mirror up to who I think I am.

Hi Stacey, it sounds to me that you will really like every Pink Floyd album. They are all great. I hope you eventually get to hear them all. Love your channel. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

I remember the first time i ever heard Pink Floyd, it was around 1969 or 1970..they were on one of those Late Night Music Television Shows that used to be on. Sort of like Austin City Limits...They were introduced as an Experimental Rock Band, while they played .they had all of this psychedelic light show stuff going on in the background...definitely 60's stuff...lol. but that was the very first time i had ever heard of them, it was a good show

4th grade, Wilson school. Mrs Montgomery WAS THIS TEACHER! I identified with this song because of this and introduced me to the world of Floyd. Of course I knew Money, the world knew it already. Been a fan since.

Stacey, find your reactions really interesting and makes these Pink Floyd's classic fresh again somehow, you're really a nice person and have such great honest thoughts about what the songs mean to you, it's pretty cool. (I'm dating myself here)... another Brick in the Wall was on the radio constantly while I was in high school, very memorable. I know many of the band members felts a bit burned out on The Wall project and unfortunately tensions grew between Waters and Gilmore over what the focus of the band should be - theatrical vs. music. I think Dave's contributions in many ways saves this album from becoming a bit overly dark, not sure what everyone else thinks.

This song tossed me right back to the mid sixties. Two years in a row. Just my luck.

This song was band from being played at our school disco because the headmaster thought it would cause an issue between the pupils and the teachers, what he was not aware of, there was already an issue 😂

This Song & Money,Are The Only 2 Song's My Late Dad Loved Of This Group, I Thinks Of Him Now, When I play both songs,Thank You for doing a reaction To This Great Classic Song Sweetheart

Hej Stacey 👋Love this song, legendary! Awesome reaction, as usual ❤

I read an interview with the author of this song - the song was written based on his own memories and his parents' stories about teaching methods in closed "elite" English schools. Harsh, sometimes brutal coercion and physical punishment for the slightest offense. Until recently, it was almost a strict prison regime for prisoners. The demonstrated revolt of schoolchildren is the reform of the school system, the results of which are now being observed in schools.

The Album "The Wall" was meant to be listened to in its entirety, it's one of the reasons when it first came out people were confused by some of the individual songs, it is one of the best "concept albums", or "Rock Operas" of all time. Remember to put the song in its historical context, as it was released in 1979. As I type this, as an old man who has seen Pink Floyd multiple times, and worked two of their shows, and was able to watch a Minneapolis show from the side of the stage as a guest of their tour manger, the great Jake Berry. A few nights before at the concert at Iowa State University, I was driving a golf cart past the backstage "compound" (it was just several double wide mobile homes we'd brought in for dressing rooms), and Jake step in front of me like a school crossing guard. Apparently, they couldn't get David Gilmore's golf cart started to go to the stage, so Gilmore says to me "scoot over, I'll drive. It was a nice ride; he was quite friendly and very polite. something I haven't thought about in a very long time.

we are learning together!!! music is a journey!!! thanks for such great content!!!❤🎉

Love this song. Similar sentiment to John Lennon's 'Working Class Hero'. So many of us 'of a certain age' can relate to a classroom situation like that which for a lot of us stubborn buggers helped make up our minds to think for ourselves rather than what was expected. Very much of it's time - but still very relevant. Lovely and thoughtful reaction - thank you.

Great choice and reaction Stacey! Pink Floyd one of the all time great bands - composition and performance. You mentioned broadening horizons, travel, new music, sensei.... new great rock music coming out of Japan. (Pink Floyd toured there c1971) . I'd love when you're ready to start with some Band Maid "Don't You Tell Me" (live). Arigatou.

I know you have heard this a million times by now BUT, single songs by Pink Floyd from Dark Side of the Moon through the Wall (where this song is from) though brilliant by themselves, were composed as part of a bigger story and often can cause confusion in reactors. Once you finally sit down and listen to the entire album, stuff like this actually makes sense. Pink is in school here, it is part of the big story as Pink put up an imaginary wall around himself for protection. The double album should be your first listen before you watch the movie. Any Floyd album is quite the experience but this one will be extra incredible with all the visuals. You are doing fine my dear in your musical journey and look forward to seeing you whenever you post a new video! Beautiful young lady Stacey, Rock On! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶

Nice to hear you Stacey like this song, as I was a youth when this song was released in 1979. Back then many of us played this song and sang along. The teachers were mean in those days in Britain, I've been told. In Sweden, where I live, the students' behavior stopped earlier than in the UK. So you understand why the song came about. This is what has been heard but whether it is true or not I do not remember as this was 45 years ago.

This video was taken from the movie, "The Wall," which didn't actually star any members of PF, but was instead a movie that followed the story of the album, and starred Bob Geldof, lead singer of "The Boomtown Rats." He became very interested in charity & relief work, and organized artists for "The Secret Policeman's Ball (for Amnesty International,) but became best know for organizing "Band-Aid" and "Live-Aid." Live Aid was a concert held in the US & Europe at the same time, with the biggest acts in the world, to help raise funds to end starvation in Africa. If you haven't seen it yet, you REALLY need to check out Queen at Live Aid, it's the most incredible concert video you can imagine.

By the way that's the long version of another brick in the Wall, when it came out as I remember it was the short radio version of it you still heard some of the kids in the back ground and the teacher part but a big portion of the longer part that starts at the first of the song was cut off, probably due to length and time of the song so it could be played on the radio. That's reminds me of another song I believe it was Donna Summers and it was called the radio, if I'm wrong forgive me my ole mind isn't as sharp as it used to be, that's what happens when you get old. I checked the song on Donna Summers it's called (on the radio) pretty good song you might give it a listen, there's literally hundreds of thousands of songs that you can listen to from back in the days but to meny to list here lol.

Just for your listening pleasure,you should check out Poles Apart”,Lost for Words,and 2 instrumentals,marooned”, and 5am”.These are some that are truly hidden nuggets!Your Welcome!

As someone who went to an English grammar school during the 70's/80's I recognise that type teacher all to well, anyway Stacey glad you are enjoying the music of Pink Floyd looking forward to more, also would love to see you react to some Iron Maiden in the near future.
