David Gilmour proved that you don't have to be a super fast shredder to be a good guitar player. Gilmore played everything with feeling. He bends his strings just at the right times
For me this was always an important part of my mindset as a teenager (in particular). I'm 51 now, I think this timeless classic is even more important for today's youth than it was in my time.
What they said... 63 now here, always thought education and achool was the gift and tool to broaden the mind and gain knowledge- until after mone grew up I began to help out at a school, teacher aide, library time help.... the got a job tutoring at no cost to parents .. Man, wtaf dude! School went from kinda structured to difficult teachers not removed in my kids' time to PURE TRASH METHODS AND INDOCTORINATION OF BULLSHIT. 😶😳😔😡 I did my part until lockdowns being the subversive influence, challenging them to THINK, to question EVERYTHING, to distrust sources until they prove trustworthy, to use critical thinking, logic, digging deep and backwards in time to analyze with context. None of this is even mentioned let alone taught anymore. And online is so corrupted over the last 6 years it is no longer the counter source option 😕 Do Not Conform Think For Yourself
Every song is different with PF but you always know it's PF! I'm enjoying watching you go down the PF rabbit hole and I do believe you've been Floyded!
The guitar solo in Comfortably Numb is obviously the biggest and best known one from this album, but I think this one is just as good. It's a perfect example of the saying "sometimes less is more". I've heard David Gilmour's genius described as the notes that he DOESN'T play, and that's on full display in this song. This is also my favorite air guitar solo!
Just a short story regarding this song - when the school kids went for one of their rehearsals for their part in this song, before they left at the end they asked their music teacher if they could stay at the end of the rehearsal to listen to Gilmour’s guitar solo which was added on after the kids had done their bit. They were so impressed with his solo that they all wanted to stay longer so that they could hear it. That’s just another example of the power and emotion that Gilmour’s solos have on people. There has been a TV documentary shown a few years ago about the story of how the kids got involved with the making of ‘Another Brick in the Wall’. They had met up for the 40th anniversary reunion of their involvement of that song in 2019 I think it was. Fascinating documentary!
@@flubblert - The documentary is called 'The Brick in the Wall Kids'. I got the date wrong - it was released in 2007, so earlier than what I thought. The explanation about the show is as follows: 'The story of the kids of Islington Green school in London who recorded the voices on Pink Floyd's # 1 hit Another Brick in The Wall, and their maverick Head of Music Alun Renshaw and Head Teacher Margaret Maden and the highs and lows that came before and after.'
@@showmoke just watched the first five minutes of the documentary and it looks interesting already; thanks for mentioning it! That one woman saying they were asked if they wanted to do it and her 'of course we said yes, it meant an afternoon off of school' is so relatable.
I was in grade 6 when this song first came out. They did not usually get much air-play from main stream radio but Another Brick in the Wall P3 sure did. Pink Floyd “Money” is a fun ride! You will be amazed.
The children singing the verse are Londoner's they were from Islington Green School, close to Pink Floyd's studio the music teacher got into trouble for letting them sing on the album they di it for free because the teacher thought it would be good music education more recently the children were tracked down and paid for there performance.
Please react to my first PF album. Dark Side of the Moon. The chills, looooove it. I was 7. My dad left it when he left. He also left very early Bowie albums like Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs… I grew up on this music. I saw Bowie age 15 at Murrayfield. But yeah Dark Side of the Moon. My mum got us listening to folk and country like Kristofferson, Denver, Neil Young and so many more. Karaoke nights and singing in the shower - all of them fabulous!!! I love my kids grew up with all of it and their own tastes they share with me. Rap and newer artists. Such a phenomenal exchange of sounds!
The very first concert I ever attended was on February 9th 1980 at the LA Sports Arena, Pink Floyd the Wall. I was sitting way up near a pillar, but I could see everything from way above. It was the best seat I could afford, and I went by myself. It was epic, like nothing I had ever seen before. I remember thinking "wow, that's what a concert is like, I'll have to go to more."
The wall over all had more radio formatted songs there wasn't any extended song compositions like on their previous albums this song was a mixture of Disco & blues guitar
This is about much more than school. It is about "mind control" and how we from a very young age get disciplined into society. I know, we need some of it to function as a society, but there are too many unfortunate ones that can never develop into full capacity. Broken down folks, that just become - another brick in the wall. They do all the shitty jobs, for nothing. All the money go upwards, to the folks that already have everything. Don´t miss out on the message in this song.
This song takes me back to my senior year of High School. Every Senior class gets to choose Songs that they feel sum up the last 4 yrs of school. Then the last week during class changes and lunches they get played over the intercom. This was the last song played as we walked out of high school for the last time as students.
The first time I heard this was in a pool hall on the juke box and we just stopped and gathered around it. I was in 8th grade and in less than a week we were singing this in the classroom. Like many PF songs, it's that bass-line that gets you right into the groove. To really appreciate it, watch the movie "The Wall" and pay attention to the classroom scene and the poem, it should sound familiar. The official video also shows a lot more and is longer.
This song went to number one all around the world in 1979. Their biggest selling single for a band not famous for putting out singles. Even became a huge dance club hit, released as it was in the disco era.
And it was actually the last UK number one of the 1970s. It was probably the least likely one two. That Pink Floyd, known for not releasing singles but instead conceptual albums which will endure forever, should end the decade at number one in the singles charts, was almost unthinkable! The song attracted a lot of criticism in the media for its perceived anti-education stance, but as always the media entirely missed the point. The song was about the UK post-war secondary education which Roger Waters himself endured: education through fear, when children were afraid of asking questions in class for fear of being physically abused, when schools were like meat processing plants, existing only to churn out subservient, unquestioning sheep. When any child who exhibited creativity and imagination, or who challenged the system in any way, was ceaselessly ground down by sadistic teachers. Many of those teachers should never have been let anywhere near children, but after the war there was such a shortage of teachers that just about anybody who could teach was allowed to. If I sound as if I am familiar with that terrible system, it's because it was my education too. Despite the fact that we did have some wonderful teachers, the majority instilled fear in us rather than a desire to learn. I can still feel the pain of some of the physical abuse I endured at their hands, and I was not in any way badly behaved or disrespectful towards them. It's sad to say, but some of my teachers so obviously enjoyed torturing children, on some sort of power trip. That was at a well-regarded grammar school. Thankfully I completed the last 3 years of my education in a comprehensive school, where the teachers were kind, helpful and genuinely interested in educating you. I was so happy to get out of the grammar school. Anyway, thanks for a great reaction, and I'm really enjoying your trip down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole!
@@SpaceOdditiesLive a biting satirical attack on the English postwar school system. You either got it or you didn't. As a young 24-year-old in Chicago at the time, some 4000 MI away, I got it immediately. I also got the fact that behind that irresistible groove... this guy, this band, was speaking to me at a level of maturity and respect rarely heard in rock and roll. Couldn't wait to hear more. And was not disappointed. In fact totally blown away. Remains on my list of one of the greatest albums of all time. "No dark sarcasm in the classroom, Teacher leave them kids alone"
YT users often put the album cover of DSOTM up when the song is actually on The Wall (and others). I've noticed it several times. the Wall was a double vinyl when originally released and it was full of artwork and it displayed every lyric to every song. I really miss those times when artists took pride and care with their conceptual works. Led Zepplin is another GREAT example of a group that operated that way. I'm so happy that you're enjoying it all. Really like your reactions!
Je vois que tu aimes les bons sons ❤ pink Floyd est incroyable. J'ai eu l'immense bonheur de les voir en concert en Belgique en 1989, c'est un des meilleurs de ma vie 🤩 phénoménal
If you're going to listen to The Wall album you HAVE to watch the Pink Floyd movie..."The Wall"! The lyrics to these songs will make more sense to you.
BRICK IN THE WALL This song has 3 parts to it. This is just 1 of 3 different parts. On the album they give all 3 different parts called Brick in the Wall part 1, 2, and 3. I don't know why they broke in down this way, but at the PULSE Concert they play all 3 parts back to back LIVE.
Dude, you need to check out the version from the movie. Not even when played on the radio, do they skip the 'intro' to this song. Which you will love, and the video will totally change the dynamic of the song.....Trust me. Also, if you ever check out Comfortably Numb live at Pulse, make sure to choose the UNCUT version. The one 95% of people are watching is the edited version that cuts over a minute off the guitar finale. All because David Gilmour thought he heard an 'iffy' note. My thinking is even if true (I sure don't hear a bad note), the other minute and five seconds is fine and is David Gilmour playing guitar in GOD mode. Need I say more?
@@Reno_Slimhe definitely did right going to the album version first. Had he done the movie clip version the amazing final guitar solo is nearly completely lost in all the action and other noises going on on screen. Always always go with the original studio version first for the full *original* sonic experience.
When the album was released, radio stations always played the intro (actually the preceding track, "the Happiest Days of Our Lives") along with this. In context, it changes from a song about rebellious schoolkids to part of a much larger story about how PTSD-afflicted teachers would emotionally and physically brutalise students in some sort of attempt to prepare them for a world that could be thrust into global war again at any time.
@@campbeld63 this is true. The minute you heard the sound of that helicopter, you knew "another brick on the wall" was on the way. And they always play the helicopter sound live, both Floyd and Roger.... th-cam.com/video/dJNekD3dnQY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3xuc_YYnxwEPUrnD
Pink Floyd is great and best to listen to albums complete . Also be careful with the stereo. I had high power , quality stereos , home and car, but years later I got tinnitus , and that ringing in ear 24/7 . It's not fun 🤘😎
😁 When this first came out, 1979, I sent an album to my younger sister, she was 15, living in a little one- light town in Michigan, ( I was living in FL for a bit), Anyway, she totally Shawshank'd it, 😂, at her school, locked herself in the administrative office, played it full blast over the intercom for the whole school 😂❤!. She said it was totally worth the detention...not the first time us California girls got into trouble in a small Michigan town...( or the last😮) Everytime I hear this song... 😁 And Doris? That was Awesome- 😎-Too Cool Fer School! So wish I could have been there!❤
Hey MB! Regarding this album... while every song is amazing and can be listened to and enjoyed as a one-off, the sum of this album's parts is FAR greater. Please consider doing a 4-part reaction to this whole album. It's more than worthy. A true masterpiece, not to be missed. Cheers!
I went to school in Birmingham UK and we were actually banned from singing this at school. It came out in late 79 into 1980. Btw, i've been binging your channel for about 2 hours and loving it. 😊
Metallica began to start becoming popular during my age of 18yrs old. I was a fan immediately. This was after their first recording of Garage Days. One of their very first performances was in Buffalo NY at Monsters OF Rock in 1990. I was there! They were brand spankin new to everyone in the crowd.🔴loved the sound sooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!💥 🔴I'm a major Pink Floyd fan/listener & have been since the 1970's🔴You can't compare these 2 bands. Both of waaay too different sounds. So you can love both. Rock n roll has soooooooo many different sounds. There's Metal, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Grunge etc..soooooooo many.
The Wall is a conceptual double album, almost like a book. So you have just listened to one chapter in the middle of the story, or one scene from the actual movie. My suggestion is to begin with "Meddle" (1971) and continue the journey from there. Some tracks belong together, f.ex "Time"/"The Great Gig..", "Obscured by Clouds"/"When you'r in", so do some research beforehand, you will not regret! Thanx for fresh reactions through memory lane!
As a school-hating kid, I always sang along with this in complete agreement! Not that I don't enjoy learning stuff, but the whole environment sucked, especially when you had to take classes you had no interest in. And not basic stuff that everyone should have a good grounding in whether you like it or not, but specialised stuff that you never ever needed again. Oh, and speaking of anti-school songs, you should check out Alice Cooper! School's Out (probably the most requested song on local rock stations at the end of every school year when I was a teen!), Eighteen, Billion Dollar Babies, No More Mr Nice Guy, Under My Wheels -- he's got a lot of hits to choose from. Famous for performing with a giant snake on stage and his 'shock rock' make-up and persona.
I recommend Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms. It's a sad song about war, but you get to hear Mark Knopfler's guitar skills... just... yeah. Another level entirely
Talking of accents you sound from Birmingham / West Midlands glad you’re enjoying Pink Floyd I’ve been enjoying them for 50 years keep up the good work
As you’re beginning to get into Led Zeppelin… I really recommend ‘Kashmir’ from the Celebration Day gig. It absolutely rocks. AND it would sound wicked in your car played f’ing loud…!! My school were actually invited to audition for the school kids choir section of Another Brick. I think it was actually for a live gig rather than the studio recording. I went to an RC school though, and the head mistress was a nun. She refused because she didn’t think it would be appropriate. Goddamnit!!!!!
Very good perception!! You are ready for the 'Animals' album.. or tracks of your choice, of course 😉 Appreciation of music genius is epitomised with this one, and you have proven your ability to be patient then rewarded. The tracks will take you on that journey you love to travel and we love to travel with you 😊 So go on, be brave and take the dive into the rabbit hole known as 'Pink Floyd, Animals'... Warning! This album may mess with your brain!! 😊
Once you dig into pink floyd it is hard to do much else until you have had your fill. Many nights I would toss on an album and let it sooth my stress. Gotta put it on repeat because it usually plays through at least once. My favorite pink floyd album to carry me into dreams is division bell. Sometimes wish you were here or dark side of the moon. If you want to get into the wall it would be cool for you to watch the movie. You can record it all at once and upload it in sections or song by song.
At the Wall concert they built a wall the whole concert then tore it down at the end! But I didn't go, purposely because that music was played everywhere I was sick of it, so I never went. 😢
I always preferred Another "Brick in the Wall Pt.1" on the album, that bassline is something else, next favourite on that album is "Run Like Hell" then move on to the all-time classic "Wish You Were Here", doesnt matter if you do the originals or live versions, you wont be disappointed. BRING ON 5OK.... 🔥🤘🔥
Each Pink Floyd Album is a story in each of their entirety. You miss the meaning of each song's context by jjust listening to one song by itself when first listener. Metallica began to start becoming popular during my age of 18yrs old. I was a fan immediately. This was after their first recording of Garage Days. One of their very first performances was in Buffalo NY at Monsters OF Rock in 1990. I was there!

"we don't need no education " in other words is as today. 'No indoctrination" "No free thought" !! When Roger left P.F. he got all the rights to "The Wall" except 5 songs that P.F. was allowed to play after 1985. Also the "Final Cut" as he was the only one running the band,.

"The guitar makes me wanna cry." Truer words were never spoken. Welcome to Pink Floyd.
The Wall is a concept album and should be listened to in its entirety
David Gilmour proved that you don't have to be a super fast shredder to be a good guitar player. Gilmore played everything with feeling. He bends his strings just at the right times
He's not a good guitar player....he's a great guitar player...my favorite guitarist of all time
As someone once said; "Guitars want David Gilmore for Christmas"
You should also do a react to the entire film Pink Floyd's The Wall. Youll then get incredible visuals with next level concept album all in one.
Can't be done on TH-cam. Doesn't get past copyright .
@@flubblert Ah, lame. F YT
The film is dreadful.
@@RushfanUK Please elaborate so we can mock you more precisely.
Must listen to the full album first, then the movie. IMHO

Do Not Conform
Think For Yourself
You’re probably right in that. A bunch of misinformation too is being spread like a pest into media and schools. Agendas and Whatnot.
The kids are from London mate...Islington 👍

Christmas number 1 in the UK, 1979
I remember it well 🎉🎉

I so enjoy watching your facial expressions!!! Your reactions are great, keep it up!!!
1980 i was in college,this album was the sound track of my youth ,18 years old then, 62 now still love it just as much .
I love the way you appreciate that British accent of them kids.
Very pertinent to America right now.
The wall over all had more radio formatted songs there wasn't any extended song compositions like on their previous albums this song was a mixture of Disco & blues guitar
The kids were from a school in Islington. The teacher was a Floyd fan, and without permission, took them to the studio for this. Same as the video.
The headteacher was not pleased!
No one can beat David Gilmour for emotion in guitar playing. He’s the master bar none imho.
This is definitely 1 of there best songs. Think about doing Great Gig In The Sky.
This is about much more than school. It is about "mind control" and how we from a very young age get disciplined into society.

Your gonna love their song money looking forward to it.
There are guitar solos and then there are Guitars singing solos..when the guitar has feelings!
This song takes me back to my senior year of High School. Every Senior class gets to choose Songs that they feel sum up the last 4 yrs of school. Then the last week during class changes and lunches they get played over the intercom. This was the last song played as we walked out of high school for the last time as students.
Remember this WAR CRY during my School year when it was released.
Keep enjoying Pink Floyd, your new found appreciation is appreciated :)
Check out 'On the turning away'
Live version 👍
Good man, I hope your still enjoying your journey …. It’s so good to see someone listen to and enjoy the music of my youth…
Gilmour plays the bass on ABITW2, although Waters gets the credit as bassist on Floyd records Gilmour played half or more of the recorded work.

"No dark sarcasm in the classroom,

That song was used as the hook to get them on AM radio. Just like Money on Dark Side of the Moon
i was listening to Pink when this album first came out then my daughter brought the video to school , then her children my grankids listened
Saw them in concert the last time they toured dark side of the moon. Great concert!!!

When I was a kid I thought the lyrics were "the desks are hazards in the classroom ".... Ha ha ha I was picturing the kids bumping into the desks. Lol
It's what Gilmour DOESN'T do that makes him one of my two favourite guitarists!
The Kids came from Islington Green school. The Band gave the school a royalty payment for a new music room.
This concert was amazing!
High Hopes from Pulse 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🖐️ 2nd that.
Pink Floyd is great and best to listen to albums complete . Also be careful with the stereo. I had high power , quality stereos , home and car, but years later I got tinnitus , and that ringing in ear 24/7 . It's not fun 🤘😎
I’ve got tinnitus too. I can’t remember a time where I never had it. No idea what started it either
The last number one U.K. single of 1979
thissong is in the soundtrack to the song .the wall, pink floyd are english hence the english kids
😁 When this first came out, 1979, I sent an album to my younger sister, she was 15, living in a little one- light town in Michigan, ( I was living in FL for a bit), Anyway, she totally Shawshank'd it, 😂, at her school, locked herself in the administrative office, played it full blast over the intercom for the whole school 😂❤!. She said it was totally worth the detention...not the first time us California girls got into trouble in a small Michigan town...( or the last😮) Everytime I hear this song... 😁 And Doris? That was Awesome- 😎-Too Cool Fer School! So wish I could have been there!❤
Hey MB! Regarding this album... while every song is amazing and can be listened to and enjoyed as a one-off, the sum of this album's parts is FAR greater. Please consider doing a 4-part reaction to this whole album. It's more than worthy. A true masterpiece, not to be missed. Cheers!
I went to school in Birmingham UK and we were actually banned from singing this at school. It came out in late 79 into 1980. Btw, i've been binging your channel for about 2 hours and loving it. 😊
Some other great Pink Floyd songs: GREAT GIG IN THE SKY, MOTHER, BRAIN DAMAGE, DOGS, PIGS, SHEEP
Four shore. Vehicles are like tiny concert halls. Brilliant dynamics
There are 3 parts - this is part 2. Love that album!
Metallica began to start becoming popular during my age of 18yrs old. I was a fan immediately. This was after their first recording of Garage Days. One of their very first performances was in Buffalo NY at Monsters OF Rock in 1990. I was there! They were brand spankin new to everyone in the crowd.🔴loved the sound sooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!💥
🔴I'm a major Pink Floyd fan/listener & have been since the 1970's🔴You can't compare these 2 bands. Both of waaay too different sounds. So you can love both. Rock n roll has soooooooo many different sounds. There's Metal, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Grunge etc..soooooooo many.
The pulse concerts Coming back to Life ❤❤ the best son ALWAYS
I love your reactions, your face is so expressive!
You are my new favourite reactor.
Overall I love the social issues that Pink Floyd presents. Amazing instrumentalists, also.
The guy that wrote most of the wall and sings is Roger - he is the bass player
The whole album is telling a story from the first song to the last song
Saw this live on Pulse Tour
The Wall is a conceptual double album, almost like a book. So you have just listened to one chapter in the middle of the story, or one scene from the actual movie. My suggestion is to begin with "Meddle" (1971) and continue the journey from there. Some tracks belong together, f.ex "Time"/"The Great Gig..", "Obscured by Clouds"/"When you'r in", so do some research beforehand, you will not regret!
Thanx for fresh reactions through memory lane!
This was their biggest "radio/charts" hit. I think the official video is also very good - perhaps watch it in your own time.
Écoute de Pink Floyd Coming back to Life ❤❤ the best son ❤❤❤
As a school-hating kid, I always sang along with this in complete agreement! Not that I don't enjoy learning stuff, but the whole environment sucked, especially when you had to take classes you had no interest in. And not basic stuff that everyone should have a good grounding in whether you like it or not, but specialised stuff that you never ever needed again. Oh, and speaking of anti-school songs, you should check out Alice Cooper! School's Out (probably the most requested song on local rock stations at the end of every school year when I was a teen!), Eighteen, Billion Dollar Babies, No More Mr Nice Guy, Under My Wheels -- he's got a lot of hits to choose from. Famous for performing with a giant snake on stage and his 'shock rock' make-up and persona.
Actually, that was part two of another brick in the wall. You should check out part one. It’s amazing as well.
Halestorm - "I Am The Fire" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I recommend Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms. It's a sad song about war, but you get to hear Mark Knopfler's guitar skills... just... yeah. Another level entirely
Talking of accents you sound from Birmingham / West Midlands glad you’re enjoying Pink Floyd I’ve been enjoying them for 50 years keep up the good work
Yeah I’m from Birmingham
Those leads are sick as hell. Pure soul of Gilmore coming out
My favorite guitar solo
As you’re beginning to get into Led Zeppelin… I really recommend ‘Kashmir’ from the Celebration Day gig. It absolutely rocks. AND it would sound wicked in your car played f’ing loud…!!
My school were actually invited to audition for the school kids choir section of Another Brick. I think it was actually for a live gig rather than the studio recording. I went to an RC school though, and the head mistress was a nun. She refused because she didn’t think it would be appropriate. Goddamnit!!!!!
i can see in your face it touches your soul
Very good perception!! You are ready for the 'Animals' album.. or tracks of your choice, of course 😉
Appreciation of music genius is epitomised with this one, and you have proven your ability to be patient then rewarded. The tracks will take you on that journey you love to travel and we love to travel with you 😊 So go on, be brave and take the dive into the rabbit hole known as 'Pink Floyd, Animals'... Warning! This album may mess with your brain!! 😊
9 albums before Wish You Were Here
Once you dig into pink floyd it is hard to do much else until you have had your fill. Many nights I would toss on an album and let it sooth my stress. Gotta put it on repeat because it usually plays through at least once. My favorite pink floyd album to carry me into dreams is division bell. Sometimes wish you were here or dark side of the moon. If you want to get into the wall it would be cool for you to watch the movie. You can record it all at once and upload it in sections or song by song.
At the Wall concert they built a wall the whole concert then tore it down at the end! But I didn't go, purposely because that music was played everywhere I was sick of it, so I never went. 😢
I always preferred Another "Brick in the Wall Pt.1" on the album, that bassline is something else, next favourite on that album is "Run Like Hell" then move on to the all-time classic "Wish You Were Here", doesnt matter if you do the originals or live versions, you wont be disappointed. BRING ON 5OK.... 🔥🤘🔥
Each Pink Floyd Album is a story in each of their entirety. You miss the meaning of each song's context by jjust listening to one song by itself when first listener. Metallica began to start becoming popular during my age of 18yrs old. I was a fan immediately. This was after their first recording of Garage Days. One of their very first performances was in Buffalo NY at Monsters OF Rock in 1990. I was there!

"we don't need no education " in other words is as today. 'No indoctrination" "No free thought" !! When Roger left P.F. he got all the rights to "The Wall" except 5 songs that P.F. was allowed to play after 1985. Also the "Final Cut" as he was the only one running the band,.
Always recommend live versions
The song and the meaning - and the story around it - is much bigger as you think! Anyway ... great reaction!
I was 15yrs old when this came out 😁 1975
The kids are from England. They went to a nearby school and sort of borrowed some kids for this recording.
Tu devrais écoute de Pink Floyd Coming Hack to Life
I can recommend listening to the early Pink Floyd... My personal favourite is: Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
David Gilmour. Early days yet on your PF journey, but you will learn why us old people think he is up there in the pantheon of the greatest.
Watch the movie and you get a different feel for the music.See something different every time you watch it.
you should check out 'Young Lust' off the wall album it's a great song and totally underrated and overlooked for some reason
Roger Waters was the original bass player and co writer of many songs. They are indeed, a British band.
Now you need to see the movie.
Please react to PF High Hopes - you will cry - so beautiful song ❤
