She had an horror of rooms, she was tired, you can't hide beat When I looked in her eyes, they were blue but nobody home Well, she could've been a killer if she didn't walk the way she do And she do She opened strange doors that we'd never close again

How many times have I listened to that album? 500? A thousand? Countless...

Damn dude. You need to do a video on tales from topographic oceans by Yes.

Only watched your Scary Monsters video, but still really enjoyed hearing about your interests and experiences :)

I enjoyed this! Gave me some insights I will think of when I relisten to one album of Bowie which I have never quite been able to crack/connect with

Well done. Great analysis

here's my interpretation of the "i caught a fleeting glimpse" line. pink glimped a life of true joy and happiness, but it was as fleeting as childhood itself, even less so with all of his childhood troubles. pink is so alienated from himself and his joy that he can no longer "put his finger on it". the wall is too high. he achieved his dreams of being a rockstar. what he didn't achieve was his dream of happiness and serenity. this may be referred back to in "the show must go on" with the line, "am i too old? is it too late?" typically the "am i too old" concern with people has to do with achieving dreams of passion, like pink's of being a rockstar, but the only thing pink has to dream of now is serenity and connection. it's the one thing he doesn't have, and it's the one thing he is afraid he is too old and too deep behind his wall to truly grasp.

I just realized, the reason why the judge is an asshole is cause Pink sees himself as an asshole, and judges himself for his past actions

I'm so glad this popped up in my feed. I listened to this album so many times and watched the movie literally hundreds of hundreds of times. I really wore it out and hearing it again brings me back to this amazing album. So many things I was unsure of.

Did they demonetize this?

Easily one of Bowie's best albums. I love how dissonant the guitars and vocals are. It's No Game Part1 is remarkable. Don't over-analyze this- you'll suck all the joy right out of the experience.

Well done

Thanks for adding the lyrics bro, as a teen eating mushrooms or dropping acid and watching the wall... i could never understand all of that heavy english accent

11:15 I always felt the rest of the movie answers his question. This life and world is what his father left behind for him.

This is the sound of 2024. Been listening to this since 1980. Always knew it was reflective of some kind of inevitable future. The scary monsters have always been here. But now they're organized.

Me before showing my BF The Wall for the first time: you ready? Bf: yes! Me: no, you aren’t. Bf: yes I am? Me: nobody is ready for their first viewing of The Wall. Bf: I’ve seen so many clips from it that I think I’m ready. *one masterpiece later* Bf: why didn’t you warn me? Me: I literally did! Bf: WELL I WASNT READY! Me: 😂😂😂

Mick Ronson just tears it up on this record! I listen to the album mainly to hear his unique playing!

Scary Monsters is in my opinion is all about his experiences and observations of leaving America and crashing/drying out in Berlin. He observed the new sounds being created at that time.. the politics of West vs. East Berlin. I think he used alot introductions of "This is not going to happen to me again..I am coming back clean and wiser America.

I still see the X!

Lol i listen to The Wall while at work. My shifts are usually 4 hours, so ill listen to The Wall, go on break, then Listen to the Wall again, then go home.

What TV show or movie is that on the TV at 9:25 (Gomer Pyle?)? ALso, the first part of this analysis was great. I don't really know how to explain it, but this really opened up a whole new way for me to listen to this album. SO far, this part has picked up perfectly from where the first part left off. Thank you for taking the time to put these two videos together those four years ago. EDIT: Nevermind. I guess if I would have just waited another minute I would of had my answer. LOL

I find it interesting that in "The Trial", Pink only sings after the teacher and his mother, since they were part of the problem to begin with. They aren't fully guilty, but not innocent in the slightest.

Greatttt

Absolutely one of the best analysis of the album I literally lived my life by while going through some tough times. I still love it. Thanks for all the time and work. I know it's a lot of work.

See just watching you theorize the first half last time, while building up the wall just made me compare you to poor Pink who soon traps himself with his own wall and is now sitting in isolation throughout second half until The Trial and Outside The Wall. With your background becoming the area Pink is mostly likely at, makes me think your following Pink closely and making sure he’s okay until he tears down the wall, and hearing the phrase with the last and first songs “Isn’t this where we came in?” And this means we have just looped Pink right back to the beginning where he’s doomed to build the wall once again. It’s only over if we reach the end and change our minds to another piece of music. And when you go back to the lounge from the beginning of your analysis, just makes me think you also broke the wall you used to show how much Pink has built up the wall, and when he tears it down, you do too, and then you both end up in a good place, and for you, that’s your lounge. Great job man

The end of "Stop" has the word "Time" from the line, "Have I been guilty all this time" echo, along with the words "to know" from the line, "because I have to know". These echoing words make up the phrase "time to know" as they play together, which is a perfect sentiment as it then goes into the song "The Trial".

The line "Take me home" in "The Show Must Go On" is addressed to his father, which is why it's preceded by the chorus singing, "Oooh pa". Similarly, "Let me go" is addressed to his mother, as preceded by "Ooooh ma".

Not interested in AI reviews. It was an analog album in an analog time.

Bro,,he didn't build the wall ,,it was built by life,,he used pieces and arranged excuses,,dadless,,cheating wife etc.

Oddly enough this was his last RCA studio album which garnered four singles….Ashes to Ashes, Fashion and Scary Monsters and the less commercial up the hill backwards, the first two being hits….number 1 and number 5 in the UK. However he then parted ways with RCA, how much of that was his decision I’m not sure, although he was dissatisfied with them.

Hey Adam! Just wondering where you found the "I'm going out to bloody entertain..." quote by Bowie? Thanks so much!

Turn down the wall.

Check out “Rabbit Fighter” by T. Rex.

i started out as a marauders fan reading fanfics (atyd, tcoptp) and now here i am obsessed about a rock subgender and learning everything i can bc i loved it so much

Glam rock helped me feel safe to come out as transgender and I bet that it did that for many other trans people too.

thank you for putting this beautiful video together! I went to her exhibition yesterday and this help me a lot understanding her!

8:40 as a big fan of david bowie and a person who clicked on this video after seeing david bowie in the thumbnail, this made me happy.

Listening to Bowie for decades. Great discussion. Is there is an artist making music now who can come close to this man…. ?

Excellent work, my friend.

When I first heard the album, I watched the film, then the album itself and when I played “In the Flesh?” I actually did the turn up sound trick and just like everyone who was jump scared, I got it too

This is the best analysis and breakdown of The Wall I have ever heard!👏🏽👍🏽

Yoko ono has really good albums

Your love is fading….

34:54 Wait, why the hell not? If I ask someone to pass the salt, I hope to god someone doesn't take it upon themselves to interpret it abstract from what I meant. "salt" sounds a lot like "assault" and I don't think anyone wants to risk a misinterpretation.

Where did you get the idea that It's No Game Pt. 1 was someone watching TV?

I mean, this is a great analysis and the video is very well put together, don't get me wrong, but I find the idea of "content warnings" in Bowie's music to be quite silly. Anybody that could be "disturbed" by the contents of this album (why they would be is anyone's guess) probably isn't watching a deep-dive review of it. Still, great video, subbed.

Your channel is literally a phenomenon. I'm really shocked that you don't have more subs. Keep up the good work, I'm sure it will pay off :)

Cant wait for the movie analasys - This was so awesome! I have watched it over 8 times now, still love it. Thanks!

This is definitely one of my top 5 bowie albums (picking a favourite is like picking your favourite metaphorical child); I absolutely adore how raw the vocals and instrumentals are in this. I really hope you continue making more analyses on different albums (especially bowie ones) because these are fantasically researched and written.

Musicians are always depressed. I mean I went through multiple suicide attempts, abusive parents who were violent towards each other, a heroin addiction, but I thought it was cool cause I played shows and people acted like they liked me. But now I'm happier now that I broke the wall down and quit doing drugs and started meeting people who weren't so sleazy
