This is why PF is so special and so timeless. They can snatch at your heart even when you've heard this song a hundred times. I was choked up right along with you. They're not even trying for cheap emotional grabs, they don't have to. They're just really good at creating profound music that will last the ages.
Spot on mate. I first heard PF at least 30 years ago and to this day, it still influences me. No matter what happens in life, PF will have a reference to it. It's a great way to keep your feet on the ground and live in the real world.
It always makes me sad watching people hear Pink Floyd as adults for the first time. They go in thinking it's going to be so relaxing, sweet, and calming and end up devastated.
This song is about how The War changed parenthood at the time. Father’s were out fighting and Mothers at the time were becoming very protective and in some ways overbearing to where it would lead to psychological damage to a generation of kids (young men in particular) ! This song not only captures a emotional sense but also a period of time ! Genius!
Yes! That’s exactly it… we actually have a world like that now, helicopter parents, so afraid to let their children have their own failures and successes…
I still cry 42 years later. My father passed when I was 10 right before this came out. This album was my release and my life. I built that wall and my mother certainly laid A lot of those bricks. All good now. She still takes care of me and is still over protective so I am blessed. Cry away... Let it out, don't keep building.
The song is about depression and anxiety. He is depressed and anxious and his building an emotional wall around himself, while his overprotecting mother is helping him build that wall, isolating him from the world. The last line "Mother does it needs to be so high" refers to that wall she is building around him.
My story for sure. This is the story of all of those with absent fathers for whatever reasons. The young son has questions over fears, the mother has fears over being alone so she overprotects. Soooo much psychology in this
Pink Floyd always seem to make people introspective and philosophical, often invoking deep memories. They have a way of cutting straight to the heart of things. Loved the reaction.
I so love your reaction... I've watched many reactions to songs like this and they don't seem to see the depth of this song... you have a beautiful soul.
I love this song , and your beautiful, and your tears made this song even better. Pink Floyd is you baby!!! Your caught up into this emotional roller coaster , keep listening your life which you think you know will be questioned. It's magically played. Thank you love your videos. ❤❤❤❤
Dear Sarah Dengler thank you so much for being there. I lost my dear sweet beautiful Mother on 20/1/2022, and it has been extremely difficult to come to terms with, still wanting to ring her whenever something special happens, and she's not there. But when I see other people reliving their similar experiences it somehow helps me to move on.. RIP Eleanor Holden 1932-2022
Everybody's fav guitar solo is usually comfortably numb or time or sorrow and they are all classics. But for me it's always been mother. Recorded or live version I find it so overwhelming and it hit hard. Literally everytime I hear it it's like listening to it for the 1st time. It sucks the air out the room..... 😀
You never have to appologise for showing your true emotions.. Ever!! You're a fantastic and sensitive reactor.. You're beautiful to the core of your essence ❤️
I love how your emotion kicked in to high gear when the electric guitar kicks in after Mama's gonna help build the wall. Such a powerful moment in the song.
Very touching. You bravely stayed with the song even though it was taking you emotional places as a daughter and a mother. Yes, we all can relate. My Mom once told me "I love you. And a mother's love is forever." And that's how it stands for us all.
Great reaction to a great song from a great band. This song resonates with so many people and makes me emotional every time I hear it. You always give such honest and genuine reactions and show proper respect for the creators. You are a gem
Great Reaction To A Classic Song. Thank You For Playing This Song. I Hadn’t Listened To It For Years. Pink Floyd Has The Knack Of Making You Think Outside The Box. 🤔
Greetings here from Greece! What a great and thoughtfull of a song, loved your reaction. Pink Floyd are so deep, hope to see more reactions from their songs.
I love watching people get their first taste of PF. I’ve done my bit over the years turning people who wouldn’t ordinarily listen to them on to their music. There’s something about it that cuts straight to the heart. Legends!
I remember seeing the movie " The Wall " when it first came out . I was totally mesmerized by it . The album is phenomenal and one of my favorites even though it is so emotional for me. Truly a masterpiece.
Wow. This was the most genuine, heart felt, tear jerker reaction video I’ve ever seen!! I felt your emotions during this song. I lost my mom six months ago, I miss her everyday. Thank you for this!
Sarah, but I think in this case Roger Waters (Pink) views his mother's behavior as overprotective, which in many cases is not good for her child. She clears the way for him and solves all his problems for him (building an imaginary wall around him). Pink later realizes this and asks at the end, "Mother, did it need to be so high?". Waters (the lyricist) makes retrospective references to his childhood and youth throughout The Wall, and the whole album is inspired by this...
Ahhh yess that too! That also crossed my mind in the middle of the song especially with the "Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you Mama won't let anyone dirty get through" part. In My mind I was "that's a bit too much but okayyyy lol. Thank you for sharing your perspective 🙏
@@SarahDengler Yes, this. Your reaction is so beautifully heartfelt and true, but @Luboš Klindera is right that there are other angles in this song as well, at least for those of us in the Anglo / Euro world (no idea what it looks like outside of the West). But yes (in the US here), this song always moves my heart, always.
@@SarahDengler Momma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true.... Just because David sings it like it involves angels, doesn't mean it is a nice thing.... But I understand why the music would feed your emotions about your mother, even though the sentiment of the song is the exact opposite. The music is just so good. And fortunately most of our mothers aren't monsters.
Sarah you are a beautiful woman and I'm sure you will and are a wonderful mother your mother is your best friend never forget that this is a very powerful and emotional song I have listened to this many many times over seventy two years and I still cry like a baby I absolutely love this song and. Its lyrics what a very warm and touching reaction thank you mum sarah
Your reaction to this song was so impactful. Love your passion for life, kids, mother and the music. This song is from 1979 and it is Still timeless. Just like you. Much love and compassion to you and to your family.
I have watched many reactions to this song and very very few really understand the real meaning to this song. It is not about your mother loving guidance. It is about a mothers control over her son. NOW I have been listening to this song since 1979 a few hundred times at least. I have seen the movie multiple times. I have seen the concert live. I know the meaning of this album. Now I get it if you are a first timer listening to this song. I can see how 99% of reactors thing it is about a loving mother. I can also see why as a stand alone song one would think that. It could have that meaning as a stand alone single. But it is one chapter of a 26 chapter story. This album was meant to be listened to in its entirety over and over and over again.
OMG Sarah you are so much in tune with Pink Floyds songs. Every time I see you weep I just wish I was there to hug you. Luv you muchly Sarah.. Best wishes to your family...

Well said. The music they made was pure art. Tugging at your emotions.
Literally tearing up while listening rn

It’s basically a Freudian nightmare played out in this song
What An Idiot Opinion...What Would or Will You Do?
@@skumflum3768 The Oedipus complex. It's a Terrifying thing.
Yes! That’s exactly it… we actually have a world like that now, helicopter parents, so afraid to let their children have their own failures and successes…
Thank you for your feelings!
Your child is very fortunate
to have you as their mother.
Aww Thank you for the kind words 🙏 ☺
It's ok Sarah , Pink Floyd has this effect on most of us. Keep going.
True pink floyd is above the sky

All good now. She still takes care of me and is still over protective so I am blessed. Cry away... Let it out, don't keep building.
I've cried to so many Pink Floyd songs! They write songs that touch your soul!

He is depressed and anxious and his building an emotional wall around himself, while his overprotecting mother is helping him build that wall, isolating him from the world. The last line "Mother does it needs to be so high" refers to that wall she is building around him.
This describes the relationship with my mother so much it's scary.
My story for sure. This is the story of all of those with absent fathers for whatever reasons. The young son has questions over fears, the mother has fears over being alone so she overprotects.
Soooo much psychology in this
🤔
I thought the so high was about how he could never be good enough or anyone else for him. Standards etc. Good point.
@@kentl7228the inescapable wall that was built around him.
One doesn't Merely listen to Pink Floyd, One experiences them! ❤🔥
I just realized it's nice to have someone to cry with.
Pink Floyd always seem to make people introspective and philosophical, often invoking deep memories. They have a way of cutting straight to the heart of things. Loved the reaction.
Thank you 🙏
Great reaction!
I too had an overbearing mother. This is my favourite song of all time.
I'm 60 and was tearing up with you. I've loved Pink Floyd for over 40 years.
Same
I so love your reaction... I've watched many reactions to songs like this and they don't seem to see the depth of this song... you have a beautiful soul.
I'm a 57 year old man and I was teared up right along with you. Always loved this song.
one year ahead of ya but exactly the same
Finally, a true unedited reaction, well done you, awesome reaction
this is art at its finest
Your reaction seemed very genuine... profound, moving music for sure. It has this bittersweet feel to it.
Great reaction....an emotional reaction indeed
Beautiful reaction, young lady. Pink Floyd is an emotional experience. God bless you and your child.
I love this song , and your beautiful, and your tears made this song even better. Pink Floyd is you baby!!! Your caught up into this emotional roller coaster , keep listening your life which you think you know will be questioned. It's magically played. Thank you love your videos.

I'm just following you. This was so touching to me. huge hug.

don't worry...you'll be a good mother for sure with those emotions and feelings...everything turns out right with your love !
I appreciate that 🙏
I have been listening to Pink Floyd for almost 50 years. I cried with you, sweetheart. Peace
Yours was a lovely reaction because it was so honest
Everybody's fav guitar solo is usually comfortably numb or time or sorrow and they are all classics. But for me it's always been mother. Recorded or live version I find it so overwhelming and it hit hard. Literally everytime I hear it it's like listening to it for the 1st time. It sucks the air out the room..... 😀
Yup pink floyd makes you go on your feels... best band ever in my opinion...
Even in tears you beam light!
I adore the honest reaction.
Thank you
Such a beautiful reaction. Thank you.
Beautiful reaction. Freaking beautiful. A truly beautiful song too. ♥️🥲
Music works through the emotions. Crying in response to music is totally normal!
You experienced what they described in this song. I can see it in your face and Finally it was explained to you!!!!
You're adorable. Never be ashamed to feel. ❤
thank you for being a real reactor....i felt this close to heart....
Appreciate your honest reaction. Came off as authentic. God bless you.
That is my favorite song from Pink Floyd it touches me..
You never have to appologise for showing your true emotions.. Ever!!
You're a fantastic and sensitive reactor.. You're beautiful to the core of your essence ❤️

Great Reaction To A Classic Song.
Thank You For Playing This Song. I Hadn’t Listened To It For Years.
Pink Floyd Has The Knack Of Making You Think Outside The Box. 🤔
Thanks a lot 🙏
It’s ok to cry this song gets everyone
Pink Floyd is a band you need to put on your head phones, turn down the lights, start the album, and just let the music envelop you.
This is my favorite reaction to anything ever..
Your reaction made me emotional. Pink Floyd always has this effect on me. Love the reaction. Keep them coming!
I cried so hard when I first heard this!
That’s what Pink Floyd does to people. Great reaction
My favorite Pink Floyd song , I was fortunate to see this live
I love this whole album. this song is amazing
Greetings here from Greece! What a great and thoughtfull of a song, loved your reaction. Pink Floyd are so deep, hope to see more reactions from their songs.
Thank you! 😊
Pink Floyd es la mejor banda de rock de la historia!!!!!
Del mundo mundial ⚡️⚡️⚡️
1 of the best reactions to any song by any artist, by any TH-camr.
Wow lol thank you, I missed the meaning though
@@SarahDengler That's okay, you will have a lifetime of returning to the song to find the meaning of it at the time you are listening to it.
Thanks!
Very much appreciated Daniel!

I remember seeing the movie " The Wall " when it first came out . I was totally mesmerized by it . The album is phenomenal and one of my favorites even though it is so emotional for me. Truly a masterpiece.
For me, the movie supplemented the album and helped me understand it better. Both are true masterpieces.
Thanks again, Sarah.
Love to see you so moved by PF. Been FEELING their music for over 40 years. I could listen to them only for the rest of my days.
Be safe Sarah
this was such a genuine reaction. watching your face as the story of the song unfolded was heart warming. i'm glad you shared this experience with us.
Beautiful song, every word goes deep into the soul makes one emotional. Nice reaction sis, ♥️
Thank you dear sisi
What abueatifull heart felt comment from a beautiful lady
Floyd's lyrics are always so deep & emotional, especially on The Wall
My sister and I used to sing this to my mother. She hated it, we laughed. Nice reaction.
Thanks for sharing this. I was touched by your reaction.
You're mother did great job with you. You'll be an amazing mother yourself.
Your visceral reaction warms my heart! You’re a fantastic young woman!!
Don't even try to control your emotions. Let it flow girl!
🙂
Wow. What a beautiful, sincere reaction. Congratulations. Wonderful review.
My class teacher invited us to the cinema to see the film. He will always be in my heart, not only for that 😍😍
How beautiful
Wow. This was the most genuine, heart felt, tear jerker reaction video I’ve ever seen!! I felt your emotions during this song. I lost my mom six months ago, I miss her everyday. Thank you for this!
I'm sorry to hear that 😥
Love all your Pink Floyd reactions. Seems they really resonate with you. Happy holidays!
Thank you 😊 happy Holidays
I understand this emotion very well, I also feel the same thing when I listen to PINK FLOYD.I love PINK FLOYD.🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

@@rmyikzelf5604 yes, this song (especially given the context in The Wall movie), is not at all positive even though it sounds like it.
Wow, that was a wide open reaction.
Merry Christmas, 2021 🎄🎄🎄
In 500 years, they'll be talking about Pink Floyd like they talk about Mozart and Brahms today.
My heart broke for you during this reaction.
Sarah you are a beautiful woman and I'm sure you will and are a wonderful mother your mother is your best friend never forget that this is a very powerful and emotional song I have listened to this many many times over seventy two years and I still cry like a baby I absolutely love this song and.

Poor mother smothered her boy. This is about the only PF song where Richard's keys bring me to tears.
This song is just as relevant today as it was 43 years ago. I cried along with you.❤ Great comments. Thanks for playing.
You have such a beautiful soul I love you.
Your a champ Sarah! Love from Australia.
One of if not the best reaction I've seen to this song.
Love you Sarah ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You are precious
