The wall is an emotional wall that he has built to protect him self from all the bad stuff that's happened during his life. However he feels trapped and isolated behind the wall. The worms eating into his brain is his own paranoia, depression and self doubts. The album or at least the film version of the wall is about a singer struggling with mental illness due to his childhood and life up to that point. Each song melds together and is like a chapter in a book. I recommend listening to the whole album from the start at some point even if you don't make a video of it.
Agreed, and his "mother" helped build some of it.
No shit sherlock
Duh...you fucking genius
Ease up guys, geez. It was his Mother, the school teacher, his wife, not having a father around because he was killed in the war, the pressures of being a rock star and life in general that he built this wall up for. Pink was a just a huge mental mess. Like everyone else is saying, you need to listen to the album in its entirety and then also watch the movie.
Very well stated
Lyric meaning: He has already built his emotional Wall to protect himself from pain and rejection, but he has second thoughts. He still needs human contact, and calls out for it. But the Wall is already too high, so his descent into madness continues.
Yep,,,, a lesson in 'careful what you wish for'.... you long to be left alone, be isolated from people and the problems that come with them...however isn't it a cold stark reality once you truly are isolated...it's never as rewarding as your mind would have you think....
The solo made him not pause, now that is a statement! Lex always makes my day.
100%
Good Ol Gilmour
He always tries not to pause on the solo because he knows Lex likes them and people always get pissed when reactors pause on a solo
Caught that as well. He was reaching for the pause but got stopped in his tracks.loved it
@@NL-ii9re Yes, but then he started grinning and reacted in a way that made Lex pause moving for a beat or two and then Brad started moving to the guitar solo. He hardly ever moves or says he likes the guitar solo, so this was not his normal behavior.
One of the best "concept albums" ever made, "The Wall" is the journey throughout "Pink's" life of ever increasing disparity between what he feels will fullfil his life. Everything he contends with, the death of his father during WW2, his overbearing mother, opressive education system, material posessions, and even his musical stardom results in little solace for his troubled soul; each is a "Brick" in his Wall of isolation and self-loathing. "Comfortably Numb", "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2", and "Hey You" as well as the rest of this masterpiece, are anthems to meloncholy and the want of more than what you are and what you have.
Yes, good summary here. You guys should really listen to the album as a whole with this in mind or react, perhaps, to the 1982 movie.
I think the "Wall" is also the separation between our true feelings and what society expects our actions to be. These societal pressures cause us to warp our true selves, on some occasions, and thus create internal neuroses and paranoia in response. This theme is also referenced in the song "Another Brick in the Wall", which talks about heartless teachers attempting to mold the students into "good little boys and girls" by ridiculing any deviant behavior.
Very good explanation.....I normally tell people to watch the movie.
Excellent summary!!!
#1 concept album with Queensryche Operation Mindcrime a VERY close 2nf.
They're the best band ever. Their music will be listened to for hundreds of years.
Like Mozart or Beethoven
I couldn't agree with you more. Progressive rock in general will be studied alongside the greats.
Oh yes.
No doubt about that. They are in a class and genre all of their own.
No
You took the words out of my mouth. 👏👏👏
To understand the meaning of songs on the CD "The Wall", you have to listen to the whole thing because one song has to do with another, and the CD in it's entirety tells a story
Yes Yes Yes - Most reactors, understandably, react to individual songs, but they should listen, to the whole album, non-stop, on their own.
Well the whole point of this kinda channels is to learn about the bands and artists as u go and to read about them after reactions so one would think after doing few songs of the wall album they would know by now that is a concept album and the whole album is telling a story
There are 26 tracks on this double album (The Wall) which together make it a Rock Opera. Try reading only one chapter of a novel and then write a comprehensive book report - didn't work for me.
@@hmichaelr1 they are reacting to songs, not presenting an oral dissertation
@@frightenedsoul True! But in the case of "the wall" album and many other concept
albums it´s like driving/reviewing a new car and only talking about the headlights.
David Gilmore is such a great guitarist to put a solo like that together, this to me is Perfect song.
Agreed. You never know when you are just going to vibe out, rock out or get emotional listening to it. Sometimes it even brings out all of the emotions.
"Shine on you crazy Diamond" is the one song from Pink Floyd left for you guys to review!!!!
@My Dixie Wrecked OK...but you agree on my suggestion?
@My Dixie Wrecked Good argument!
@My Dixie Wrecked You must be an absolute fan..I will check that out!
I've been doing my part, every video I asked them to listen to shine on You crazy diamond.
Oh my gosh, a guitar solo that actually made Brad smile. You know lex will always rock out.
The movie of The Wall is epic and you two def need to watch it.
Edit: The Wall is all about social isolation, Lex you are so naturally perceptive.
I agree!!!!!
Pink Floyd's album, The Wall, is truely a masterpiece. From start to finish it describes band member, Roger Watters, experiences throughout his life that contributed to his mental and social challenges. Starting from his youth, watching his father go off to fight in WWII to having an over protective mother, dealing with mean teachers, later, being a rock star in a bad relationship, drugs, and so on. Brad should spend an hour or so off line with the lyrics and he will appreciate the genius. In short, The Wall is what he mentally constructed to protect himself from all of life's ills and all of those bad experiences were just bricks in the wall.
Brad's smile when the guitar solo starts, priceless
When you can write lyrics that can be interpreted differently by each individual. That is a gift.
Pink Floyd were pioneers of the, 'concept album' in the 1970's. Every song in the album was a part of a larger story they were trying to tell.
The Wall was one of those albums (I think it was a double-album). Those songs were all part of the story, The Wall dealt with people's tendencies to build a wall around themselves to shut people out and not let anybody in. "Hey You" was a call for help, a cry for human contact. It starts off with 'help me,' then 'hear me' and feel me and finally touch me. But as someone who has spent his life building this giant Wall around themselves - it was only a fantasy. He can't go over the Wall. So he begins to go crazy.
Great reaction, guys!
The Wall is a double vinyl where we follow the main character - Pink as he goes through his life. In the first vinyl we observe how Pink builds a wall around himself and seals himself off from society. This is the first song on the second vinyl which is his first attempt at reaching out to another person after being behind his wall for so many years.
The Wall is a concept album and to really get the context of the song, you kinda have to listen to the whole thing. In my opinion, it's the best album ever recorded.
I agree this piece of art needs to be listened to as a whole.
Agreed. I have a hard time listening to just a song. I need to listen to the whole album. A real masterpiece!
This solo just feels like it busts open a door in your house, latches on to you by the upper arm and marches you down the hall to show you something you desperately do not want to see.
It's about loneliness... Beautiful stuff. I like watching your reactions cause it makes me think about the first time I listened to these songs. In this case, 1987, when I was only 15. To this day, The Wall is one of my favorite albums. Hello from Brazil! I like what you're doing.
The first time I listened to it I did what David Gilmore said that he wished he could have done. Listen to it beginning to end stopping only to flip the album over. With headphones on. I forget what year it was but the album was just released. 1970 something 🤔
@@jeffmiller4832 1979... I did that countless times... What an album.
Loneliness....alienation....deep distrust....the vicious cycle that becomes too hard to break free from.
I love the way the drums lead up to this amazing guitar solo that makes me feel like I'm melting.
David Gilmore is a monster on the Strat the pure emotion pouring out of those solos this time and comfortably numb are all incredible
The Wall had some good guitar, but I think Gilmour's best work is probably on Animals.
This song is part of a story that the entire album is about....The movie is even better with the illustrations of the meaning and story.
this band will change your life. They are like watching life go past while your still and fixed to images flashes of your past.they are so good at what they do.
.hey you wake up
It’s a song about screaming for help without words, and no one coming.
Really glad you got to this one. My favorite Pink Floyd song.
Mine too!
David Gilmour playing guitar. David works basically inside the simple pentatonic scale, blues based, like a million guitarists before him. Yet when he starts playing, you instantly know his signature sound and approach. His notes can have an operatic feel, his vibrato is sublime, and the holes in his phrases punctuate his genius. This is how you make a guitar line into an anguished human voice. Yet so very few do.
The Wall as an album is brilliant, especially when considering the live show. During the first half of the album, a wall is literally being built on stage between the band and the audience. Once the wall was finished being built, they had the audience take an intermission. When the audience returned, Hey You is the first song played for the second half. It is played entirely behind the wall. The audience sees only the wall.
When considering all of that, lyrically, it seems to be speaking directly to the audience member, while also keeping in step with the story arch within the album. Freakin brilliant.
I love Brads reaction. I did the same when I first heard it when iit first came out. With my head phones on.
Together we stand and divided we fall
Lex is hilariously cute when she does her vocal renditions of the instrumental sections of a song. I'm sure you've been told this a bunch already Brad, but I'll say it again, you're a lucky man.
So Lex pretty much nailed the deeper meaning of 'The Wall' just by hearing this song, I'm impressed. :)
She is very smart. She gets it on many levels
I'm a floyd head,love it all but the wall is so perfect ....brings a tear to your eye,makes your hair stand on end....once in a lifetime perfection ❤
Echoes & Atom Heart Mother are two songs by Pink Floyd I'd def love to see your reactions to 😁
Agreed. I am _incredibly interested_ in Lex reacting to Echoes.
About 23 mins is the perfect song length.
Careful with the axe Eugene.
No way they would make it through Atom Heart Mother 😆
It's part of the story of the whole album.
Just found your reactions, I'm an immediate fan! Great, imaginative, insightful reactions! Keep up the good work!
Takes me back to sitting on the floor leaning back against the wall and just being so stoned. I am now 70 but Pink Floyed music was most often listened to while being stoned back in the day.
Love watching you guys, learning and studying these songs. I'm learning along side with you guys. Pink Floyd is definitely a amazing band, with deep meaning behind the art they make. Love it.
Nice reaction y'all, Pink Floyd- Echoes and Animals are very good
Great reaction & thank God you didn't
pause during David's guitar solo! 🤣🎸
🌟The song is about how although people put up their "Wall" to keep people out, they desperately but hopelessly long for real human interaction. Each verse tells of a desperate scenario followed by a question asking for human interaction.🌟
Love your reaction when the solo hit! A great moment to witness!
Thanks guys!
Huge fan of your channel, energy and enthusiasm...
Cuts selected from the Wall are out of context by themselves... FLOYD builds a whole concept and thematic album from start to finish and pulling a single track out for reaction can leave you a little bewildered trying to grasp the thrust of their lyrics.
You guys are great and your collective wisdom is often very insightful... the real entertainment begins when Lex starts riffing about the vibe she picks up...pure gold! My appreciation of her Lex'icon' can't be overstated!
I've subscribed literally for her energy. It's infectious and refreshing and oh so addictive!
Keep the good vibes ringing out!
The days of experiencing Floud 'live' are gone.... except, you can have the next best thing.
David Gilmour had THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW (TAPFS) perform at his birthday and they are THAT GOOD!!
My best friend took me the first time and I went with a real 'chip' on my shoulder. Sat with my arms crossed and my lips all tight an shit.... for about 15 seconds!!
The first show they performed the ENTIRE Dark Side of the Moon, to perfection, us a dozen of their other hits!
They have even mocked up some of the stage elements (with an AUSSIE spin on them)!
Since a Pink Floyd show won't be happening this side of Rock and Roll Heaven, it's the next best thing!
I've seen their show three times since then and they've also performed the Wish You Were Here and Animals albums....and never disappoint!
There's also a Brit FLOYD... but not on par with TAPFS.
They're currently touring Europe, and the COVID pandemic has impacted their schedule, but they always tour the US.
I've seen them 3 times in Denver and once in Phoenix... never disappoint.
Check them out on the YT!...
czcams.com/video/-bbML0x-MWI/video.html
Do a livestream of the whole album.
We would all watch.
Hey y'all as I'm sure others have already mentioned this, Pink Floyd's songs are truly mind-stretching but to really appreciate them individually you have to listen to the Albums in their entirety. You may not understand exactly what's going on but it will certainly make more sense! Now that was a mouthful you have to admit! Great reaction as usual, Bobby from N.C.
I've been binging on your Pink Floyd videos. Lex, you're amazing at deciphering the meaning behind the lyrics.
I love your all’s reactions and I love your descriptions of the music You guys are awesome and I’m glaf your getting to experience the greatest band that’s ever lived
Oh my! Y'all in my wheelhouse today! Love it!! Brad, yes, the guitar solo was one of David's best. This song started off with David singing -- did you catch it when Roger began to sing? PF does that a lot.
It's a song about isolation. 😔
shine on you crazy diamonds!! Pink Floyd will never disappoint! Great reaction tune!! ♥️
This really is art; like a painting, holding all sorts of treasures for those who behold it's contents.
If there is just one album you should listen from beginning to end, The Wall is it. It's a story, a concept. The individual songs are great on their own, of course, but the whole album is indeed more than the sum of the individual songs.
And yes, as others have suggested, after listening to the album also watch the movie.
Lex's analysis is startlingly accurate. There is a movie called "Pink Floyd -The Wall". It is very weird, in the best sense of the word. Deep psycho-social implications.
It is beautiful and true.
It is good to see people reaction to music such as Pink Floyd I can see your reaction like l felt many moons ago. It is also good seeing how much y'all get along with each other especially the young lady. She puts so much energy to listening to music.
I've been listening to The Wall since it was first released, yet I am still learning about how to grasp the meaning of their songs. Then Lex gives her interpretation and a whole new understanding is revealed! Thanks Lex - your insight is quite remarkable.
Hey Mikey! He likes it! 🥣
What do you give an 80year old woman give her Mikey he will eat anything
Roger Waters' voice is a Primal Scream on this one....
It's wonderful to see you young guys experiencing Floyd probably the best band in the world in their area of work love listening to your comments
A true song for our times....
“Cue epic guitar solo”” is absolutely correct. Any guitar player can hear this solo in their head!!🤘 🤘🤘🤘
The melody the guitar was playing in the guitar solo can be heard throughout the "The Wall" album. It is the chorus of "Another Brick in The Wall" which I believe you guys may have reacted to before so it may sound familiar!... "We don't need no education"
Also, fun fact: Roger Waters was considering performing The Wall at the US/Mexico border. He also previously performed it in 1990 in Berlin after the fall of the Berlin wall.
Thank you Brad for not going for the pause right before the solo.
You saved the day my man. Every David Gilmore fanatic is eternally grateful for your consideration!
I could listen to Pink Floyd and David Gilmour all day! Nothing but love for the Floyd!😍😍😍😍😍
Just gotta say; you two are an awesome couple. Love watching your reactions to music I grew up with. You two are a great combo.
David Gilmour, Pink Floyd's lead guitarist and vocalist, did a concert "Live at Pompeii" in 2016 released in 2017. It's an amazing concert with all the old Floyd songs plus some Gilmour work after Floyd.
Coming out of the solo is my fave part in the song. Can’t stop it there.
Exactly how I describe the first solo Lex.... you got it girl! I love you guys!!
You guys need to see what Pink Floyd can do in a live show. Anything from the PULSE concerts or the old live version of Echoes in Pompeii. The Floyd light show is second to none..
I was lucky enough to see this concert in LA many moons ago! It was the best concert to see live during the concert they literally built a wall. Just so many things happening through that concert just amazing!
Love when you guys come back to the good stuff.
You guys are awesome, love all your videos
Top 3 bands of that era. Musicianship, storytelling, touching the soul
One of my favorite songs!
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Musically a masterpiece.
Love Ya'lls Reviews
I could see all over Brad's face that he was loving the guitars this time. Like a lot. 😁
You guys just wouldn't believe how nice it is watching you listening to music that I've loved since, I was a kid. Then seeing you get the joy out of it. I don't feel like I'm expressing this the way I would like to. Lol
But you appreciating the music is wonderful thing to witness and it doesn't hurt that y'all are fun, too. 😊
Keep being you!!
Love ya and your reactions! 🥰
Greetings from Liverpool … just subscribed … love the stuff you put out … yeah Mother by Pink Floyd is a bit of a tear jerker … ha.
It was December 31, 1999. I was in my middle teen years. Y2K was going to end us all. So that night I went to a bonfire, and tried the devil's lettuce for the first time, and someone put on the Floyd. Needless to say life was forever changed. I worked the next 6 months popping popcorn, cleaning, and working projectors in a movie theater to buy a Fender Stratocaster, and study the works of David Gilmour. Life was good. Still got the strat, and several others lol.
I’ve been subscribed forever and apparently didn’t have notifications on, realized it and have been binging you guys for 2 days... y’all are my new fave reactors, Lex is my bestie and doesn’t even know it 😊😊💖
Yes thank you for this. Hey You is my favorite song by Pink Floyd. It’s because of this band that I started liking rock, metal etc.
Pink Floyd is perfection. Their music is flawless.
Thank you for sharing this with me
I love these reaction videos. Takes me back 😍
we all build our own walls inside of our minds, some of us break free while some cannot, depending on how strong and big the wall you built is will determine the quality of your life and mental wellbeing.
Pink Floyd the wall movie is awesome, it’s old but still a great musical
as I get older, I like/love this song even more. I always enjoyed it, but now I "get it."
I was 10 when I watched "The Wall" on VHS for the first time and continued to listen to them in adolescence. After high school, I binged on all things Pink Floyd for a few years. I'm 46 now. I played two Floyd songs (Wish You Were Here and Time) with my band at a farmers market just last night. What I'm saying is: I f**king love Pink Floyd and have loved them for most of my life, and watching you two listen to and "get them" for the first time (I've watched about five of these) brings me so much joy!
I should also mention that they are my second favorite band, if I can be simple and rank things that way. My undisputed favorite band is Ween. I want to be careful in recommending a song because they are all over the place and can be an acquired taste sorta thing. To start gently, pleeease check out "It's Gonna Be Alright", "Flutes of Chi", and/or "Chocolate Town". But then I want you to see how wild it gets so check out "Spinal Meningitis", "The Stallion Part 3", "Mutilated Lips", and/or "Voodoo Lady." These dudes have been at it for over three decades and have a following that will sell out Red Rocks Amphitheater three nights in a row but you've never once heard them on corporate radio. You might've heard "Ocean Man" on Spongebob though. I love you guys. Listen to Ween.
HEY! you 2 are the bomb!
When Pink Floyd made a guitar cry. Man I so love this band. Would love to go back in time and jam to them for the first time. 👏👏👏👏
The Wall is an album where each song is beautiful in itself, but together it is a story, which makes sense of listened to in sequence.
"Hey You" as Lex say she waiting for Pink Floyd sound affect. But this is more raw. Then Brad for once actually really smile. I almost fell over.
An amazing tune
Pink Floyd man you have to love them.
It's been great watching 4 of your videos listening to Pink Floyd, how I envy people that get to experience it for the first time, Hey You is my second favorite Floyd song, my first would be Dogs off the Animals album.
Yes! That is one of the coolest guitar solos ever
If it wasn't for Lex I would never come back to this channel at all!! She is amazing how she gets it!
What a Perfect Song 🔥🔥🔥
Pink Floyd is my 2nd favorite band...so many good songs by them!
i love pink floyd the wall roger waters on guitar he was a guitar legend the song hey you is bout the longing for human interaction to be heard to be seen to be felt its about the desire to be noticed out of desperation
The best way to fully understand the songs from The Wall is to watch Pink Floyd The Wall movie. This is such a great song.
When he says will you help me to carry the stone. He’s talking about a millstone around your neck. It’s a metaphor for a problem you can’t escape from, he’s asking for someone to help him with his problems. The wall is metaphorical it’s his defence he’s put up against the outside world created by his dad dying in the war and him never knowing him, his overbearing mother, teachers who were cruel to him, a wife who cheats on him and drug abuse. The worms eating into his brain is his fall into depression.
Nice synopsis mate! Just about sums it up for me.
Just one of my many favorites by Pink Floyd. I play guitar and this is one of my very favorites to play. Not as good as David Gilmore of course but I try. LOL The accoustic riff is just so haunting and ingenious
Lex love's David Gilmour's solos, glad you didn't pause it there at the start...another fantastic selection of music!
