    In the context of the album "The Wall" he's bulding an emotional wall around him closing him off emotionally and listing the things that made him this way. An overprotective mother helped him build that wall by putting fears into him and at the end of the song he says "Did it need to be so high" meaning the wall he built is so high that he doesn't let anyone in anymore.

      @@thisguy8916 I don't think so. Roger Waters wrote nearly every song in the wall except comfortably numb. When the tiger broke free was the true story of the death of his dad in WWII. Another brick in the wall part 1 say "Daddy's flow cross the ocean... leaving just a memory. The snap shot in the family album. Daddy what else did you leave for me .. All in all it was another brick in the wall".
      After his father died he did not have a solid male influence so his mother was over protective. As meliplay points out, after the trial, he faces reality. His sentence was to be exposed before his peers. The poem at the end of the movie says a lot too.
      "One by one or in two, the one who really love you walk up and down out side the wall. (forgot the middle but then) some stagger and but but after all its not easy banging your heart against some mad buggers wall."
      Some people say that the story is Syd Barret's story but if so, I would guess it is more the comfortably numb area by Gilmore. The WWII themes preceeded that with Bring the Boys back home and Vera Lynn who was a singer that traveled to the front lines to sing to the troops.

      @@Jimtheprogrammer I assumed it was about Barrett because of some media I saw/read referencing him coming in the studio & fucking with their heads by playing progressions differently while asking his bandmates why they couldn't 'get it' or something along those line... and something else about him having lived with his mother & in her house, until his passing; a gaunt, haunted-looking fellow Gilmour or someone encountered not long before he died.

    Young mothers unconsciously put all of their fears suspicions biases etc. into the rearing of their kids. It's up to that child when they reach a certain age of maturity to try and navigate the well meaning but sometimes destructive upbringing they may or may not have received growing up. Though they are singing about a particular character in this album "The Wall", the song's meaning and interpretations are universal. Absolutely brilliant lyrics from one of the greatest lyricist in all of Rock, Roger Waters, who's also the co-lead singer on this piece, with David Gilmour.

      He's also a genius with theme, so it's awesome how he wrote this with the up and down roll of a lullaby, and then they sang it with those soft voices. It captures the idea that the overprotection felt, at the time, more reassuring than dangerous. And then David's guitar cries, and Roger laments the scale of the wall.

    I think a lot of people listening to this song don't pay enough attention to the lyrics, they just focus on a few lines, like the "ooh, babe, you'll always be a baby to me" part, and they take from that that it's a song about the virtue of motherhood or some such thing. But the mother in this song is obviously an overly protective, suffocating mother, as Roger Waters has expressed in past interviews. He said in an interview with Mojo magazine back in 2009, ""My mother was suffocating in her own way. She always had to be right about everything. I'm not blaming her. That's who she was. I grew up with a single parent who could never hear anything I said, because nothing I said could possibly be as important as what she believed. My mother was, to some extent, a wall herself that I was banging my head against."

    • @michaelb1761
      @michaelb1761 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      And, that's why Roger Waters constantly uses the lyric Babe or Baby. This is a mother who doesn't ever let her child grow up; never let's him fly. Most people latch onto the lullaby tone of the song without listening to the lyrics.

      But was she that way before her husband was killed in WW2? Watters himself constantly talks about and explores the death of his father in the war in so many Floyd songs. Maybe he should have been more understanding about what she was dealing with which was the same things he was dealing with.

      And you got to realize if you read my post on top explain best I could about the wall. Yes but the mother is but mother says the child going in the wrong direction her husband Rodger Waters father Eric Fletcher Waters got killed in world war II so she sees only I bought of hate within him
      He hated school he hated all his girlfriends hey did his teacher hated everything that society had to offer him because he blame society for murdering his father in a war .
      His mother tried to give him love. He didn't want love to him love net nothing. And she tried to protect him from every little piece of dirt that's on the surface of the Earth.. but she didn't realize she couldn't protect him from himself.
      He rebelled against everything and society so unconsciously all these things his mother his teacher his school his girlfriend's is friends it was in the way, only he everything so we had to build a wall to keep everything and everyone else away and out. And a lot of kids went through this doing post world war 2.. it's not not understanding the meaning why his father died not understanding why was the world

    The album was written basically about the lead singer's life. He was born just after WWII. His dad died in the war. He grew up during the Cold War. He was put in the oppressive British education system where you all wore a uniform and was expected to all act the same. His mother was overly protective and controlling. He was not coping well with this and became more of an introvert and started taking drugs. He built an emotional wall around himself to protect him basically from the world and from being hurt by it. He was basically doing insane. The one thing he liked was music and wanted to perform, but he was so messed up the manager had a doctor shoot him up with drugs just so he could perform a concert. He falls in love... or thought he was in love but when he was on tour he called up his home to find another man answering the phone. He snaps and goes through massive depression... just a really dark time in his life. He turns to anger and violence at times. It is hard to understand what is real and what is not at this point. He pictures himself on trial and is forced in the end to "tear down the wall".

    Mother did it need to be so high? He is referring to the WALL.......which courses through their musical message; this is the backstory to the relationship between Roger Waters (bass player and lyricist) and his mother. The family suffered some tragedies which resulted in a level of overprotection which manifested in fears etc. Their albums are concept albums; they are a story which is why you need to listen to them in order to get the full message. Listening to Pink Floyd at random will not do you much good in terms of understanding their protracted messaging. THe Wall............The Dark Side of the Moon etc. etc.

    In this context Roger Waters,the lyricist/singer, had a good relationship w/his mother but the thing is that he was a post ww2 child meaning she clinged onto him as the last thing she has of his father who died in the war. This is also can be applied to the government trying to protect you in their own self interest.It wasn’t a diss on his mom but more about the character development of “pink” the person this album is about.

    In 1979, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd wrote 'The Wall' album cos he was in a miserable place in his life at the time... his band was alienated from him, his personal life was shambles. Money & fame was not making him happy, and he wrote lyrics about his life experiences.
    Roger Waters was born in England, his father died in combat during World War II. He was born while England was being attacked by the nazis... Growing up in the university city of Cambridge in post WW II England, he had no father, a single mom who was overprotective and overbearing... he went to school where teachers seemed bitter and cynical, and he learned about the brutal war that ravaged Europe until 1945.
    He met Syd Barrett in school as a teen, and they became friends (Barrett was 1 yr younger than Waters) and the two bonded for years... they talked about forming a rock n' roll band. That happened in 1965, when Syd Barrett attended the same London university that Waters was in... it was Barrett who named the band Pink Floyd and wrote all their original songs... Unfortunately, Barrett indulged in using drugs like acid, and he declined from mental illness... he was out of Pink Floyd by 1968, replaced by David Gilmour, a friend from Cambridge... but that loss of Syd Barrett's friendship also inspired themes about madness.
    Hence, most of Roger Waters lyrics are about war, teaching, death, and madness... 'Mother' was written about his difficult relationship with his mom during his youth... 'The Wall' was made into a rather dark movie in 1982, starring Bob Geldof... who played the character 'Pink', a rock star who descends into madness and becomes a tyrannical figure. A few movie scenes were inspired by Waters' experiences w/ Syd Barrett.

    children look to parents for answers.
    When parents weren't themselves provided those answers, what do they say?
    Do we now blame Mom or Dad for leaving unanswered questions?
    Many do.
    Empathy dictates that one must see the world from another's perspective.
    My mom had it rough and did her best by me.
    I must answer some questions myself.
    She gave me the strength to do so, and so I will.
    To recognize her sacrifices on my behalf, I will not blame her, I will HONOR her by doing what she was unable to.

  • @rodrigozamo
    @rodrigozamo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Now that I am 31, this song hits different. Growing up my family got attacked and almost made me lose my life when I was 9. Out of that situation, my mom became very over-protective, with just reason but it happened as I was getting into the teen years and while my friends were doing normal teenage things, I wasn't allowed to do those things with them, I became socially anxious, shy, timid, dealt with depression my entire teenage life, felt rejected, left out of all these things all the other kids were doing, parties, I got bullied for being a momma's boy... The result of all that was having to work on all these things later on in my adult life after I was independent. I have an ill relationship with my mom now because while I get this was her way of protecting me, it went to the opposite extreme of just that and affected me in so many other ways. So while this song is disguised as something that could be a lullaby, it speaks how that kind of parenting can be bad in some other way, contributing to building your own mental wall, that isolates you. I think it's normal for a parent to wish the best for their kids and do their best so they thrive in life. I am a father now, so I understand, but what's the balance of protecting your kids and guiding them, while also allowing them to develop their personality for themselves?

    The song is just one part of an entire story from the album the wall, in this song the mother is overly protective to the point where she doesn’t let him “fly”, which is just one part of many that’s making him build an emotional wall around himself to escape from the outside world.
    It’s an album that actually should be heard in it’s entirety to really grasp the whole meaning.
    Dark side of the moon is another Floyd album that should be heard like that.

    Daaaamn my guy you getting it!!! I love the way you explained that early part. It’s about what it means to YOU!! Similar to what I take from it but it’s all about what you get from it. It’s your experience, or maybe you hate it. Either way is cool

    A song about a controlling at times overbearing mothers. The final line referring to the wall “Mother did it need to be so high?”

    You got it. When I was your age and dating it was a chill song to show your girl she your momma now. She would massage my hair and I was cozy and warm. A beautiful song indeed
    That's the relationship mom's have with their sons. Girls watched, because they will soon be mother's to. Home feeling., Very intimate guys just enjoyed the attention. Axel Rose in sweet child of mine has something similar to this, music was harder but her hair covered over him gave him a sense of a warm place.

    This song is 1 of many within the movie 'The Wall' which is based on Pink Floyd's life. Gotta watch the movie and then connect to the meaning. The song 'Mother' is referring to how his mother treated him and another brick in the wall as to why his life was so tragic. This was one reason why his relationship with his wife deteriorated and why he turned to drugs. He lost his father in a war and raised by his mom.

    yea you got it right. and it's about how good intentions can lead to limiting someone's true potential. that protection they are offering doesn't let them fly but they may be able to sing a little. that's true with most good intentions. people never think about the adverse affects of good intentions. people get hurt and die emotionally over that shit because people's excuse will always be good intentions. there are pros and cons to everything so when we intentionally be subjective to the positive with good intentions, it's a distraction to the literal hell that is coming soon because they refused to be objective and see things from all sides.. this is one of my favorite songs. people need to start waking up to the truth in things. good intentions will usually turn out not so good. it's usually the case. on the surface this song is about how great mothers are to protect their children from all the evils in the world. building up that wall so no bad can come in. but when we build that shit up too high, no good can come in either....

  • @artsilva

    Two key phrases in the song; "Mother will help you build The Wall" ... and then the last phrase; "Mother did it need to be so high?"
    This is about an Over Protective mother of a person building his own emotional Wall around him and how his mother is contributing to that. Hence the concept of the album The Wall.

    Love seeing you guys getting into Pink Floyd. If you really want your mind blown, react to the entire Animals album and make sure you do it in order cause the entire album tells a story. IMO, their best work hands down! Thanks for the share and continue to enjoy the musical journey that is Pink Floyd!

    YOU ARE 100% CORRECT. I have an overprotective mother. MY father died in a car accident when I was a toddler and she became an overprotective mother. I am 46 and she won't stop. I tried contacting her a month ago and, nope she won't stop. We haven't talked in 3 years before. Every word of this song hits deep, because it's my life.

    It's really just a fairly simple song about the complicated relationship you can have with your mother, and how she can do good while still doing damage. Of course it's all within the context of the message of The Wall itself, which is about disconnection and putting up barriers.

  • @stevewalsh4850
    @stevewalsh4850 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh, I can't wait until you react to the studio version of Pink Floyd's "Dogs" and ......"Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) & (Parts VI - IX) These are long tracks but ya gotta do the studio versions...the one for "Dogs" has one with lyrics and that one is good. You want to hear this the way they did it in the studio where it is Pink Floyd perfect. Like I said, long tracks but this is Pink Floyd and when you hear it you'll know.

    This song is one of many bricks the main character stacks up early in life that he uses to build his psychological wall and hide from the world. The point is if one looks for excuses not venture out and challenge the world, they can always be found. Using motherly love as a liability is quite pathetic. And through the first half of the album "Pink" has grasped every shred of excuse to avoid even the merest of unpleasantness of life.
    What I find I find interesting is that the Floyd and Roger in particular are always tapping into that verisimilitude. Here a young adolescent starting his song with a simple acoustic guitar writing a very simple tune about his fears; his part being sung by Roger as "Pink". David Gilmour voices the mother. And then Rick Wright's keyboards come in and then Gilmour's solo. "He play[s] a mean guitar."

    Sometimes it's best to listen through a song without trying to immediately analyze the lyrics. It's like trying to discuss a book after reading a couple of chapters. You also lose the musical nuances... Something Pink Floyd excels in.

    You cannot try to figure out the meaning of this song without listening to the entire Wall album. It’s impossible. Every single reaction I have seen to this some every single one has NO CLUE about the meaning of this song! It is a must to listen and understand the meaning of this particular song by listening to the entire album. Also watching the movie will even give you a better understanding.

    You guys reaction was right.... for you. I always took this song in the context of the album, The Wall....and the line, "Mother is just a waste of time?" always kinda summed it up for me. I think anyones reaction to this song is right for them because everyone has a mother and everyone mostly shares similar experiences as well as having individual experiences with their moms. That --to me-- was PF intent when they wrote this.

    You nailed it from the beginning. The song is about a mother’s overprotective love and how she helps him build an emotional wall around himself. Your girl never seems to catch the deeper meaning in ANY of these songs. But you do.
