This song rips me up every time. Masterpiece is the perfect word. "Mother did it need to be so high". Meaning the wall she built around him. I am a mom, grandma, great grandma. It is the scariest & the most rewarding thing ever. Once you have that baby, your heart is so full of love & pride & so easily broken & hurt. They cry, you cry. They grow &you let them fly. They achieve, you are proud. You can teach them right from wrong but ultimately they make their own decisions. You pray everyday that you taught them good enough. You watch your children with their children & your heart gets bigger. Your children's children with their children & your heart gets bigger still. But the bigger it gets, the more it can hurt. I love your reaction. Your mom did well.
Way to go man!! You're one of the few reaction channels that actually gets this song!! So many reaction channels have people that start crying because of their loving mother that took such good care of them and they don't get the message of the song at all! But you actually get what the songs about so Bravo for your Channel and you!! Great job I'll definitely keep watching your Channel! And the movie was actually the boy in the plastic bubble with John Travolta! At least I think that's what it's called but that's the main actor in the movie. And the last line in the song "mother did it need to be so high"? speaking about the height of the "Wall" built around him! In other words "did you need to be so overprotective mother"?
Man this song has power. No band could ever capture the essence of a topic or put more emotion into any song than Pink Floyd. These guys were almost supernatural. Great reaction man.
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. But you so nailed this reaction, right off the bat. Even without knowing the complete context of the album this song came from, you straight up got what this song is about. I am looking forward to looking into your other reactions from other artists because I can tell you “get it” like I always have
You do some of the best reaction videos, you actually listen to the music without constantly interrupting. There is so much more Floyd you should listen to, Dark Side of the Moon, Meddle, Wish You Were Here and more. Keep it up James. Best wishes.
I agree with some of the earlier posts that it's just great to see you back! I hope all is well in your life and we will continue to see you for a while. IMHO you are one of the best reactors on TH-cam. Really great to see you again!
Hey JBLethal. So glad to see you back Bro! I know you have went through rough times but never forget, you have a large audience who always has your back! Keep up the nice work, hold your head high and, stay strong. God Bless ya, my friend.
The mother of the lead singer lost her husband in the war service when the singer was a baby. She became over-protective, but when the musician was writing this song, they had a good relationship. It's not an accurate snapshot of their relationship. It's their relationship transmuted into art, which is beautiful - because it shows something both sad and beautiful.
Few people get the lyrics, glad you listened to the words. Parenting is the hardest, most rewarding, scariest, most joyful and most painful thing a person is privileged to be gifted.
It certainly is a powerful song... I want to point out that this song's lyrics are just 'One more brick in the wall' that was Pink Floyd's double album called 'The Wall'. The message overall was one of indoctrination, the human spirit in the young learning about the way humans pass on everything on to their offspring... indoctrination, compassion, fear, love, hate, addiction, joy, war, peace,... all of it and the young are left to sort the good from the bad and the useful from the harmful in the end. React to as many songs from 'The Wall' as are recommended to you. Then go listen to the entire double album in order, beginning to end in one sitting. It's great music (classic, in fact) as well as thought provoking and thought-full. As it's been said... 'The juice is worth the squeeze' on this one. :)
My good man, you earned my respect and appreciation for this one. You're the only reactor who correctly processed the lyrics and understood. Thank you for making a challenging day better! 🤓🕊️✌️

Wow I've seen some good reactions but this is the best.. Hey brother I feel ya my child hood wasn't the best either but I got thru it and doing OK now... Keep fighting you'll gonna do well as well bruv 👍
It’s odd to consider the fact that we adopt many views, many of us from our mothers per this example, because that’s what we have exposure to, and are nurtured by from being a babe on. We do adopt those things. I thought my poop would stick to my butt if I swallowed my gum 🤣. Anyhow, one can adopt ridiculous notions that will force some to see the world as something it isn’t. In this case the put much emphasis on patriotism in the for of unwavering trust for one’s government. It the implied the error of such views. Bravo on the reaction friend! 👏🏻
To me this is not about an overprotective mother, it’s about a very manipulative and controlling mom who disguises as a protective parent. She uses fear and insecurity to isolate him from others and bind him to her. He’s not allowed any independence, if he tries anything on his own she WILL find out and scare the living c… out of him. Mom makes sure that she’s the only certainty he has in life. He can’t trust anyone or anything else. It’s not a need to keep him safe that drives her, but a selfish desire to tie him to her, so she won’t end up all alone. I am a very protective mother myself, yes some has accused me of being overprotective, but my priority has always been my daughter’s safety and happiness. My daughter is now an adult who lives with her boyfriend of 4 years, and I am so proud of the wonderfully kind hearted and very capable young woman she has become.
Watching people “React” to Pink Floyd without knowing their humble beginnings sometimes is a put off. To truly comprehend and somewhat understand Pink Floyd’s songs, one needs to learn how they were written or what their inspiration was, when David Gilmour became lead guitarist and vocalist. You can watch ANY interview with ANY member of the band and they will confirm that SYD BARRETT was “Key”. If you research SYD BARRETT, everything makes sense. Every album had a reference to SYD, before Pink Floyd had a falling out with each other.

Your such a great man . May god bless and cover you
Every day . ❤️
You never stop in the middle of a guitar solo! Especially when it’s David Gilmour!

Keep up the nice work, hold your head high and, stay strong.
God Bless ya, my friend.
Rocker for Life is telling the truth. We love you and your reactions.
You got it 100% right 🔥💯👍🏻 Most reactors don't really listen. 👏🏻
Beautiful reaction. Such an emotional song.
I appreciate your Mum 💜 she gave us YOU 💚
Best band of all times 😎👍 next one from Pink Floyd - Coming bacvk to life ( live Pulse concert 1994 ) = 3 guitar solo 🎸🎸🎸
High hopes from the same concert is amazing also
@@scm021374 😎👍
The movie adaptation of the album really shows ‘Pink’s progression into emotional isolation behind his wall. It’s worth the watch.
My mom was over protecting but before she passed I said to her thank you...
Great reaction!!
Best reaction to this song I've seen. You're Ave Maria reaction was the best too.👍🏻

what a song....powerful and sensitive
You have such a profound understanding of music. What a gift you are to us! ❤️❤️❤️
Few people get the lyrics, glad you listened to the words.
Parenting is the hardest, most rewarding, scariest, most joyful and most painful thing a person is privileged to be gifted.
You do the best reactions. I like the fact that you actually listen to the music and lyrics. Well done
there's another song dedicated to mothers by Genesis "Mama"
Thanks for playing this song❤ ❤
Brilliant in the highest sense
This is the best version of the song... EVER!
i'm 46 alone hand over protective mother that it hurt ..this song means alot to me its sad but beautiful as only Pink floyd can do
Great to see a reaction that is not blinded by sentimentality coming from North America! Well done :)
So Glad you are back consistent man. Keep it up and stay up !
His over protective mother is but one of the bricks in the wall that he built around himself. "Mama did it (the wall) need to be so high?"
you will like the studio version from the Wall even more
Absolutely spot on!
It certainly is a powerful song... I want to point out that this song's lyrics are just 'One more brick in the wall' that was Pink Floyd's double album called 'The Wall'.

You defintely understand the meaning of the song.
So happy to see you go here and really listen to them! By the way, the whole album is a masterpiece! Hope you are doing well :)
that movie is called The Boy in the bubble starring John Travolta
you're right on, bro'.......the song's about the lead character in "The Wall", who was totally isolated from life.......
Great reaction.
wish i could give you two thumbs up
Pretty cool how your backdrop looks like a wall and that is the name of this album.
Eureka! A reactor got the meaning of this song correct! I doff my cap to you sir. This is no Mother’s Day tribute.
You nailed the meaning sir
You nailed it sir
My good man, you earned my respect and appreciation for this one. You're the only reactor who correctly processed the lyrics and understood. Thank you for making a challenging day better! 🤓🕊️✌️
Glad I can make your day ! 🎸🎵🎼🎶
So good to see you !
Roger waters did a covid lockdown version you should listen to. It is excellent.
Mother did it need to be so high? Tear down that wall...

Powerful song! James, please also check out David Gilmour and Pink Floyd's new song: Hey Hey Rise Up.

Watch the movie!!!
NEVER. EVER. Pause during a David Gilmour solo. Ever.

Please add Cat Stevens/Yuself Islam to your list. Peace Train. Morning Has Broken. Foreignor Suite. Wild Woman. Father and Son.
She's like that because her husband died in WW 2, pinks father.
This is the ultimate Oedipal mother song.
If you don’t listen to the entire album in the correct order you actually still haven’t heard it.
