All the British rockers from the 1960’s and 70’s were born in the 1940’s ,during WW2 or just after ,it left a lasting mark on them which can be heard in their music in particular The Wall
Roger’s pain and anger was on full display in his last Floyd project The Final Cut, which was actually just a Roger solo take over of Floyd and highly underrated and forgotten . It’s probably one of the darkest, gloomy, depressing farewell albums ever recorded, not one of Roger’s happy eras.
It's also dark, though. The protagonist suffers arrested development because of how clingy his mother is. She smothers him, metaphorically, with that embrace. Makes it harder for him to grow up. In the movie version, during the trial scene, his mother whips an umbilical cord out, wraps it around him, and tries to drag it back into her vagina mouth. This album is a head trip and a half
@@CatherinePearl100 spot on cath,you're talking to a floyd fanatic here haha.have my own relationship with that song as my mother was as good as it gets,her influence on me with art/music/manners/helping everyone till the end etc i read that line in a different way and i hope other people who loved their mother's do to.have a nice day catherine
In 1979 I had just gotten out of HS. I must have listened to this hundreds of times before I went to the concert. The Wall in concert is still the greatest concert ever.
The good, better, best, argument happens with every band of and album of any quality. Ultimately it’s a question of taste, timing (your personal situation at the time you encountered the album), and your personal association with the band/album. They were a great band and this was a great album. So were pretty much every single one of the others.
I’m 52 I’ve had this album since the 4th grade I still have the vinyl today. My favorite album of all time. A spliff & Listen to it in the dark or low lit room it takes you on a journey . Also the movie is great. On 🍄
Having come of age in the late 60'early 70's, Pink Floyd was one of the soundtracks of my youth. Between us my boyfriend/now hubby or I owned every album and went to see them in concert 3 times. Still listen regularly now we are in our late 60's. They are truly iconic. One album that I have really grown to appreciate more as an adult is the ANIMALS album. I haven't checked your backlog yet, but if you haven't listened yet, PLEASE feature some of the songs - "Sheep", Pigs", "Dogs", etc. Roger's lyrics are amazing. BTW - I would like to state that I am very happy that you are spending time delving into the backgrounds of these songs and artists. It makes the listening a much richer experience. Please keep researching through books, articles and documentaries. I started down this rabbitt hole during the Covid lockdown, and have never looked back or regretted the time and money I have spent forbooks on rock bios and rock history. What a trip. Any reactor can listen to a song, and make a few banal comments, and some listeners are comepletely happy with that. But there are those of us out there who appreciate learning more. Keep up the good work, we appreciate what you do 🤩👍✌
You understood it, the whole album is about a rock star cracking up, and the reasons why. I've seen reactions where people expected it to be nice, also happens with Jimi Hendrix doing Star Spangled Banner, it isn't quite what they expected. Probably best to go through the album in the correct order because it tells a story.
I'd watch entire albums dude! You can definitely do side 1, side 2.... as per the vinyl Thing is alot of Pink Floyd tracks transition and themes follow each other so you get extra context😉
"Julia Dream" an international hit single by Pink Floyd released back in 1968 is an outstanding psychedelic rock song that sinks deep down in your soul. The keyboardist Richard Wright use of the mellotron is mesmerizing. "See Emily Play" from 1967 is worth checking out as well. 💫😵💫🔍🎤🎸🎹🥁🔥🔊☮📻🎧
Her babys going off to war, of course shes feeling protective. You must watch the movie to get the picture. Thanks for doing this timeless piece. Let us know after you watch the movie! 🙂
I despise that album. Two suns is one of only 2 songs that I can listen to, so there's that. Such a sad way to end that line up. Surely they had another one or 2 great albums left in them. Momentary and Division, I don't consider them Pink Floyd albums. They had great moments, but Waters as a lyricist can't be replaced.
Great reaction and interpretation. I don't see this song as dark because good parents try to warn you about the consequences of your actions, try to give you their wisdom. When he sings "mother's going to put all her fears into you" I see that as your parents trying to keep you out of the pitfalls and troubles in life. I was a teenager in the 70s so we didn't have helicopter parents but still they kept am eye on us.
Floyd were an album band. Most of their songs make a LOT more sense when listened to in the context of the entire album. They were written to be listened to as an album. In the early days of music streaming, Floyd tried to stop streaming services releasing individual tracks, for that very reason. :)
After listening to the album you should watch the movie. It is one long music video but it gives more context and is a good time, especially if you love Pink Floyd.
The great Jeff Porcaro on drums. The song is notable for its varied use of time signatures, such as 5/8 and 9/8.Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason found these time-signature changes difficult to learn, and, with the band recording on a very tight schedule, ceded the drumming duties to session drummer Jeff Porcaro.
The Bomb was what we called Nuclear Weapons back in the day. There was always fear of Nuclear War at any moment if something went wrong. Starting to feel that way again with everything happening these days as well.
"Remember a Day" a hit single and a track off the international released album 'Saucerful of Secrets' by Pink Floyd during their earlier years back in 1968 is enveloped in psychedelia and is mesmerizing that might be worth checking out. The British group Pink Floyd didn't receive worldwide recognition until the release of their huge masterpiece album "Dark Side of the Moon" from 1973. 💫🎤 🎸🎹🥁🔥☮🔊🎧
Roger Waters (bass & vocals) of Pink Floyd wrote most of the band's lyrics before he quit the band in 1984 for a solo career... Originally, Syd Barrett, their founding guitarist/vocalist was their key songwriter... but after Barrett became mentally ill and was ousted from Pink Floyd in 1968, the band members had to learn to write songs cos David Gilmour (guitar/ vocals) was not a prolific songwriter or lyricist. Roger Waters and Richard Wright (keyboards/ vocals) started to write songs for Pink Floyd in 1968 on their 2nd album 'Saucerful of Secrets'... and Gilmour started contributing some songs as well... But by the early 70's, Roger Waters wrote a bulk of Pink Floyd's lyrics while Gilmour and Wright contributed music mostly... However, Roger Waters started becoming more controlling by 1975 as Richard Wright started to drift into drug addiction and started contributing less... He was fired from Pink Floyd after 'The Wall'... By the time Pink Floyd began working on 'The Wall' in 1979, David Gilmour was one of the producers and he said that Waters would not allow the band to actively contribute - he would go off alone and write songs and bring them into the studio to play... Gilmour contributed music for a few songs only. Pink Floyd only played a handful of shows to promote 'The Wall'... they would have an elaborate set where a huge wall would be built onstage as the band played for the first half of the concert... The second half, the band played from behind the wall while projectors displayed images and animation on the wall ... U would often see Waters or Gilmour as part of the wall. The show would end w/ the wall collapsing and then, Roger Waters would come out from the wreckage w/ the entire band and session players and play 'Outside the wall'... When David Gilmour reformed Pink Floyd in 1987, he enlisted session writers to contribute lyrics and music... On Pink Floyd's last album 'The Division Bell'... Gilmour's wife Polly Ann Samson wrote the lyrics, while Gilmour and keyboardist Richard Wright wrote most of the music.
The Wall is an album that gets better and better with many listenings over many years. I think over protective parents isn't done out of love. Sure there's love there, but it's more about fears and insecurities.
You need to check out the entire Movie, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" to get the entire concept of the story. In 2019 I went to watch the Lazer Show and they didn't play this. I/we were so bummed. 😭😭 Happy belated 4/20😁😎 IMVHO "The Wall" is better than "Dark Side of the Moon".
"Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?" -- Musical artists often put their worries over nuclear war into their songs back then. Check out Prince "1999" for a fun example. When you're ready for more from Pink Floyd, check out "Welcome to the Machine" from their 1975 album, Wish You Were Here, and "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", "Sheep", and "Dogs" from their 1977 album, Animals.
1. if you want to understand well the album (the wall) you need to see the movie. 2. Then listen to the whole album from the beginning to the end. 3. the comparison between albums is stupid, the Wall is more like the master piece of Roger Waters, dark side of the moon is a whole different thing from Pink Floyd as a band, even having David G participating in some of the The Wall tracks.
I don't know of a bad song or album by pink floyd or david gilmore . They are 😎 awesome. Picture 70$ customized vans shag carpet quadrophonic stereos and psychedelic sound.especially darkside with time . don't have to have the recreational but it sure helps. ed ing 😂 rock on
if you watch the movie you can understand what Waters is talking about: without a father (dead in war) she is super protective. Here we have the consciousness of her love and the damage that love is for him (Waters). This isn't a love mother song, and the guitar solo is dramatic, not romantic.
I think to put one album above another when considering Pink Floyd is completely dependent on your mood. I think this one is a masterpiece, but so are the other top 4. DSOM WYWH AND ANIMALS. I relate well to the wall because it’s more about being introverted. DSOTM is more thought provoking. Wish you were here is more of a lament, where as Animals is more confrontational. But, hey, that’s MY opinion. Nice reaction.
Biz, there's no substitute for listening to a whole album, front to back. You know that. I know you know that, because I watched every reaction as you did the entire Led Zeppelin discography. Delightful. It took me back to when I first discovered Zeppelin. It's like finding buried treasure, right? But again, it's a richer experience to listen to the whole album, start to finish. Doubly so for Floyd. In this video, you kept reminding your viewers that you were just speculating on the meaning of the song and how it fit the concept album. Unnecessary, man. Just stop randomly cherry picking the tunes out of order and out of context. Listen to THE WALL beginning to end. It's a big story, and well worth it. You still have time to hear this rock opus as the artist intended. * The same is true of: MEDDLE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON WISH YOU WERE HERE & ANIMALS
They made a movie out of THE WALL. The music is made into a visual opera. It's half and half human and animated and totally made for people on drugs. You gotta see it, dude. It gives context to all the songs on the audio album.
It wasn't "totally made for people on drugs", lol. I think you're projecting somewhat... :) It may be enjoyable to some people, on certain drugs but that's another matter entirely. Lots of things are enjoyable to certain people on certain drugs, that weren't "totally made for people on drugs". :)
Completely disagree! I don't think 'The Wall" is that great a film. What's more it often gets in the way of the music, through cuts, edits and added audio over the top of the music. If it's the music you're interested in, the album is the superior choice by far and exercises your imagination at the same time.
That's Roger Waters and David Gilmour on vocals.
Roger's asking the questions, Gilmour is responding as the mother.
Love how they sounded together. They alternate on a few songs on the Wall. Hey You and Comfortably Numb for sure.
It's not about love as much as projection and control. Dark but truthful song.
Rodger Waters is my favorite lyricist.
His words make me feel understood. Not entirely alone.
His words resonate inside of my heart.
You are one of the few reactors who GOT this song…good for you.
All the British rockers from the 1960’s and 70’s were born in the 1940’s ,during WW2 or just after ,it left a lasting mark on them which can be heard in their music in particular The Wall
Especially when Roger writes the music. Although extremely successful, he’s so tormented.
You might want to watch the movie The Wall to get additional context for each song.
Roger Waters had a rough childhood. But luckily he was able to channel that pain into something beautiful like The Wall.
Roger’s pain and anger was on full display in his last Floyd project The Final Cut, which was actually just a Roger solo take over of Floyd and highly underrated and forgotten . It’s probably one of the darkest, gloomy, depressing farewell albums ever recorded, not one of Roger’s happy eras.
ONE DOESN'T MERELY LISTEN TO PINK FLOYD, ONE EXPERIENCES THEM!
that ending "you'll always be baby to me" is the most beautiful audible hug you'll ever hear,best band ever lived
It's also dark, though. The protagonist suffers arrested development because of how clingy his mother is. She smothers him, metaphorically, with that embrace. Makes it harder for him to grow up.
In the movie version, during the trial scene, his mother whips an umbilical cord out, wraps it around him, and tries to drag it back into her vagina mouth.
This album is a head trip and a half
It also means she’ll never see him as an adult with a mind and a life of his own.
@@CatherinePearl100 spot on cath,you're talking to a floyd fanatic here haha.have my own relationship with that song as my mother was as good as it gets,her influence on me with art/music/manners/helping everyone till the end etc i read that line in a different way and i hope other people who loved their mother's do to.have a nice day catherine
@@stecumo6459 It’d be great if everyone’s mothers were like that, wouldn’t it?
@@CatherinePearl100 it would catherine
I always like to listen to Two Suns In The Sunset after this song!
In 1979 I had just gotten out of HS. I must have listened to this hundreds of times before I went to the concert. The Wall in concert is still the greatest concert ever.
The LIVEversion is awesome
I think you got it. You might want to watch the movie. It’s a mind bender
You should check out the film The Wall. I watched it a lot as a child in the north of Ireland.
Pink Floyd's album "Meddle" is a pure delight from start to finish.
My personal favorite.
You got it. The album talks about different types of walls. Its a great concept album. One of the best ever
Great tune... check out "Blue Sky" from same album.
Roger Waters is a musical genius. This album is taught in certain college classes, its considered a masterpiece.
Definitely some Freudian statements for sure. For one.
@@billbates5475 😁
Roger Waters writes words. David Gilmour and Rick Wright were the musical geniuses!
@@detroitlady7201 I have to agree with you, but I love them all.
Biz you totally got it, mothers love their sons, but sometimes it can be a toxic, controlling love. Yep. 👍
This song is deep & underrated. Great song!!!
You nailed the meaning, as usual!!
Amazing
Wish You Were Here and Animals are both better than the Wall
The Wall is amazing but it's definitely bloated. Animals is top Floyd for me.
Animals.. my fave album of P. F.
The good, better, best, argument happens with every band of and album of any quality. Ultimately it’s a question of taste, timing (your personal situation at the time you encountered the album), and your personal association with the band/album. They were a great band and this was a great album. So were pretty much every single one of the others.
I used to think that too. But after listening to all those albums for decades now I like The Wall more
My favorite Pink Floyd album is the one that is on the turntable at the time I'm listening.
Classic track from a classic album❤
Played the hell out of this album back when it was released.
I’m 52 I’ve had this album since the 4th grade I still have the vinyl today. My favorite album of all time. A spliff & Listen to it in the dark or low lit room it takes you on a journey . Also the movie is great. On 🍄
I love ya Bizman!!! Keep up the awesome reactions to great music 👍 these two guys, Roger and David made a great duo
This came out in theatres where we went for midnight matinee ...it was very cool and freaky too

Hey You from this same album is another one you will enjoy breaking down when it comes to the lyrics not to mention that it’s a great song 😎✌️
Roger has a lot of incredible solo stuff that nobody reacts to! Check out Every Strangers Eyes or Perfect Sense, incredible tunes.
I'd watch entire albums dude! You can definitely do side 1, side 2....
as per the vinyl
Thing is alot of Pink Floyd tracks transition and themes follow each other so you get extra context😉

I wore that album out several times. Another must is "Wot’s… Uh the Deal" from the album Obscured By Clouds.
Both albums are primo🤘❤️. Biz when you can, watch the movie. Very entertaining. Or watch a clip or two on youtube
Her babys going off to war, of course shes feeling protective. You must watch the movie to get the picture. Thanks for doing this timeless piece. Let us know after you watch the movie! 🙂
Two suns in the sunset from the album The final cut
The final cut is more songs that he wrote for the wall.
Most beautiful sax solo, cuts into you soul.
I despise that album. Two suns is one of only 2 songs that I can listen to, so there's that. Such a sad way to end that line up. Surely they had another one or 2 great albums left in them. Momentary and Division, I don't consider them Pink Floyd albums. They had great moments, but Waters as a lyricist can't be replaced.
As much as you delve into lyrics, you would really love The Wall. The entire double album is a single story.
Roger Water's Amused to Death is up there with the 2 albums you mentioned
Great reaction and interpretation. I don't see this song as dark because good parents try to warn you about the consequences of your actions, try to give you their wisdom. When he sings "mother's going to put all her fears into you" I see that as your parents trying to keep you out of the pitfalls and troubles in life. I was a teenager in the 70s so we didn't have helicopter parents but still they kept am eye on us.
As much as I love Dark Side of the Moon, my favorite Pink Floyd album is Wish You Were Here.
Brain Damage and Eclipse should be listened to together, They are the last two songs on Darkside.
What a Pain in the A… Mom!
I wasn’t expecting that very different, thanks Biz.
Floyd were an album band. Most of their songs make a LOT more sense when listened to in the context of the entire album. They were written to be listened to as an album. In the early days of music streaming, Floyd tried to stop streaming services releasing individual tracks, for that very reason. :)
Darkside is best listened to with headphones alone in the dark. The wall is my fav album.
Hey, I was here ! Love this one. Love the Floyd
Toni Tenille is on this album. (THE CAPTAIN & TENILLE)
The WALL is a PINK FLOYD MOVIE BRO...MAYBY REACT TO T
HE MOVIE 🤌🎩🎸🎶🎶🎶☮️🇵🇷✌️

Pink Floyds last masterpiece album!
For something different, I'm going to recommend "Two Suns In The Sunset" off the underrated "Final Cut" album.
Animals their best imo

With almost Every song on this album, It's important to hear it in its entirety. I won't tell any spoilers, but it Is deep.
I think to put one album above another when considering Pink Floyd is completely dependent on your mood.
I think this one is a masterpiece, but so are the other top 4. DSOM WYWH AND ANIMALS.
I relate well to the wall because it’s more about being introverted.
DSOTM is more thought provoking.
Wish you were here is more of a lament, where as Animals is more confrontational.
But, hey, that’s MY opinion.
Nice reaction.
Animals is actually their best album.
One of brother... one of.
Biz, there's no substitute for listening to a whole album, front to back. You know that.
I know you know that, because I watched every reaction as you did the entire Led Zeppelin discography.
Delightful. It took me back to when I first discovered Zeppelin. It's like finding buried treasure, right?

* The same is true of:
MEDDLE
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
WISH YOU WERE HERE

ANIMALS
Biz will you break my heart?
They made a movie out of THE WALL. The music is made into a visual opera. It's half and half human and animated and totally made for people on drugs. You gotta see it, dude. It gives context to all the songs on the audio album.
It wasn't "totally made for people on drugs", lol. I think you're projecting somewhat... :) It may be enjoyable to some people, on certain drugs but that's another matter entirely. Lots of things are enjoyable to certain people on certain drugs, that weren't "totally made for people on drugs". :)
dark side is a better album, but only because the wall is best consumed in movie form.
Lmfao only if you need visuals to understand it. I could list off 20 reasons that you are wrong. I'll just laugh and call it a day though.
Completely disagree! I don't think 'The Wall" is that great a film. What's more it often gets in the way of the music, through cuts, edits and added audio over the top of the music.
