    The last line, "Mother does it need to be so high?" Refers to "the wall"...which is his psychological "wall" which he builds to protect himself from the world.

      It is a wall that he eventually gets mentally imprisoned behind with every brick of the wall. Mother, due to overprotective nature provides another brick in the wall. The whole album is a story/concept of his journey from childhood to love to betrayal to fame and finally to insanity.

    Mother is actually a really sad song, it’s about an overbearing mum Molly coddling her son by not letting him be a boy and do the things he wants to. This is because she lost her husband in the war and is terrified of losing her son. It's all done through love, but has a negative effect on him creating bricks in his wall of isolation. That's why he says at the end, "Mother did it need to be so high".
    Also, when a song can affect you so greatly it's powerful, there's nothing wrong with exposing yourself to those feelings and especially appreciating your Mom.

    • @static1st
      @static1st 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I believe, Roger Waters put multiple meanings to this line. It could mean at the same time, "did the wall need to be so high?", "why did I grow up?", and "did it need to be junked up?"

    • @stanleymyrick4068
      @stanleymyrick4068 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Well, you have to remember that Pink never, ever, ever takes responsibility for himself. He always lays it on Them, They. Never I. So with this song, so with the album. His father, mother, wife, etc...
      This song he blames his mother for helping build the wall because she was protective. While it might be that his mother actually did overprotect to some degree, none of the things he mentions are necessarily bad things (Mother will find out where you've been, etc). Even the Mother I will put all my fears into you, is something every parent should probably do to some degree. I mean, unless you think a child should touch the fire to learn it is dangerous instead of telling them it is dangerous.
      Many say the song is about a bad mother. When it is coming from Pink, you should take the lesson with some amount of skepticism.

      @stanleymyrick4068 You hit it right on the head. I constantly see commentary about how the mother character was a detriment and a negative aspect of Pink's life, but you're absolutely right that it was done out of love and a fear of losing her son. I also am glad to see someone else point out that Pink never takes responsibility for anything, and that it's always everyone else at fault. Maybe in that sense, Roger truly is Pink.

      One reason why its so different from any of their songs you've heard is that it has Rodger Waters on vocals, who left the band in 1985. I'd recommend reacting to Echoes live at Pompeii to see the 4 primary members after Syd Barrett's tragic departure from the band.

  • @cmarrafa
    @cmarrafa 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

    Following the trend of the band's three previous studio albums, The Wall is a concept album, dealing with themes of abandonment and personal isolation. It was initially conceived during the In the Flesh tour in 1977, when bassist and lyricist Roger Waters' frustration with his audience became so acute that he imagined himself building a wall between the stage and the audience. The Wall is a rock opera centered on Pink, a fictional character based on Waters. Pink's life experiences begin with the loss of her father during World War II, and continue with ridicule and abuse from her teachers, her overprotective mother, and finally the end of her marriage. All of this contributes to a self-imposed isolation from society, represented by a metaphorical wall. It is necessary to listen to the entire album to internalize and understand the story. Hug- ✌

    Hi Stacey, I first started my love of Pink Floyd when I was 14, I turn 50 in a couple of months, no other band can compare... "Have a cigar" on the wish you were here album is a favourite of mine. And yes it's "Balls"
    "momma why does "it" have to be so high" My simple interpretation is "It" being the psychological barrier (The Wall) that a single mother can instill in their kids which can be crippling especially in young men, which is an interesting judging by the present societal Issues single parenthood can create.

    To get the whole picture of 'The Wall' you first need listen to the whole record, then watch the concert movie from Roger Waters 2011 and 2014 tour and finally the movie they released in the beginning of the 80s. The movie by director Alan Parkerwill provide you with all the context you need to understand the whole concept behind 'The Wall'. The tour had an unbelievable visual concept. During the first half of the concert they built brick by brick the wall until the whole band is hidden behind it. The whole time the wall is used as a monimantal screen to show pictures, movies and best of all unbeleivable animations by Gerald Scarfe. in the second half of the concert the band remains and plays most of the time behind it. From time to time Roger or the 'surrogate' band appeared in front of it until the whole wall will be torn down after the trial 'Pink' (Roger Waters) is holding against himself.

    The album The Wall was made together with the film of the same name. Their albums always tell a story like a novel, it starts with the first chapter, develops and ends with the last chapter. This one is no different, the story tells how a child's life is threatened by everything from their environment. The same goes for a mother who lost her husband in the war and raises her child very protectively as she knows and knows best, but it may not be the best for the child herself. That is why the child, the young man begins to build a defensive wall around himself against the outside world. In this poem, the mother also added a brick or two to this virtual wall. And in the end, he wonders why it has to be so difficult.

      Thanks for the reply, I really like your comments which show a genuine curiosity about the world around you, about music and the comments reflect that. Regarding the desire for the next video, if I stay with the Floyd, who are among my three favorite musical groups, first of all, as a group, they somehow have three musical periods, the first with the original leader Syd Barrett, where they laid the foundations of exploring the possibilities of instruments, mutual cooperation, jamming , the second with the most productive creative work of the most famous albums and the last only instrumental compositions. I think that for anyone who is just getting to know PF and is posting reactions to it, the most spontaneous and natural way is through individual pieces, which is exactly what you have chosen yourself. It will surely draw you to know more and listen to the whole album. But to begin with, I would advise that not in one piece of the whole, but piece by piece separately one after another in a separate video and only later whole album in one video if you wish. What reaction would you like to hear next? Perhaps Welcome to the machine, where they fight the cruel music industry, in the battle with which they themselves had to leave a part of themselves in order to become what they are today. The industry won, reported in Have a cigar. Or Shine on you crazy diamond, parts 1-5 and 6-9 dedicated to the memory of original leader Syd Barrett, who was driven away from them by drugs.

    You are such a transparent person, it's easy to relive through you our first time hearing these beautiful songs and experiencing the magic of this band. If I may recommend a song for you to listen to, it's 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' (studio version), but first, read some context about the song because it has a deep meaning and is dedicated to someone very special to the band. Greetings from Argentina! It's great to hear Pink Floyd with such an honest reaction.

    ".. of course mothers gonna help build the wall" .. that is also the answer on what is "so high". And the wall is the inner wall that Pink (the main antagonist, or in reality mostly Roger Waters himself) built up agains the whole world outside.
    " .. Mother puts all of her fears into you .. " that is maybe the other really important line of the song, that also show its in now way "light" but rather a really dark song. In the end mother has rather made an emotional cripple out of him.

    Pink Floyd's albums all have a theme and the songs within tell the stories of that theme. The Wall is about the wall we all build to protect who we all are, our inner psyche, hidden fears, aspirations, loves, our emotions that are formed from our interactions with people and life, it is a wall, a facade, a barrier, our strength, our being, our universe - yes, that is why Pink Floyd speaks to us all.

    Short and sweet solo, David played a longer version with a second part on tour. The last line hits hard, Pink decided to build the wall and to look after him Mother of course helped her little boy, but once complete Pink looked up and saw how high it was and seemed to have second thoughts.
    Reminds me of Larkin's famous line, "They fuck you up your mum and dad."

    Referring to ‘the wall’- why did she need to contribute to its conception as much as she did? Through all her actions and influence mentioned in the song, she built upon Pink’s wall by being as patronising, overprotective and dominant as she was. In this line, he’s asking her- did she really need to be this way? Did she really have to be one of the primary factors of his wall?

    • @stanleymyrick4068
      @stanleymyrick4068 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Pink never took responsibility for what he done and became, always blaming others. His father, mother, wife, etc... This song he blames his mother for helping build the wall because she was protective. While it might be that his mother actually did overprotect to some degree, none of the things he mentions are necessarily bad things (Mother will find out where you've been, etc). Even the Mother I will put all my fears into you, is something every parent should probably do to some degree. I mean, unless you think a child should touch the fire to learn it is dangerous instead of telling them it is dangerous. Many say the song is about a bad mother. When it is coming from Pink, you should take the lesson with some amount of skepticism because it is ALWAYS some other persons doing and fault with Pink.

    One humble request, please upload a porcupine tree reaction video on your channel, my favourite band and imo one of the greatest prog rock bands of all time at the same level of pink floyd, rush, genesis etc.
    Please upload one time, trust me there are a lot of pt fans out there you will get to see on the comment box

Five songs on album and they all run into the next song. You'll hear animals in the background that are all done on synthesizes. It was pretty cool for those days. Yeah the wall you have to listen to the whole album. My friend went to Germany to see them back in the 80s. They built a wall in front of the band the whole time they were playing till you couldn't see the band anymore. Then they smash the wall down with the last song.

The son cannot function socially so builds the wall to keep the outside world out. If you watch the film of The Wall it all becomes clear. The last line does relate to the wall that is built. Also I just want to say that you are fantastic. Beautiful and intelligent lady who loves Pink Floyd. What more could anyone ask for!
