Bro...don't take this badly. You totally missed the point of that song. Its about an overbearing mother that cripples her son by being overprotective. This is a NOT a pro mother song and whoever asked for it to be done on Mother's days obviously has a weird relationship with their mother or they don't get the song either.
Do yourself a BIG favor, watch The Wall, the movie as well as the music are a masterpiece, it will make for a great reaction video for sure. and not to top it or rival it, it is very much worth the time to watch the wall live in berlin, with roger waters and a bunch of very cool artists giving their versions while a wall is being build on stage.
I think you'll definitely love Dire Straits, especially 'Brothers in arm'
hush now baby bay don't you cry....
@@danisyx5804 mama's going to make all of your nightmares come true (YIKES)
"mother's gonna make all your nightmarss come true
mother's gonna put all her fears in to you
mother's gonna keep you right here, under her wing she won't let you fly but, she might let you sing"
this is NOT a love letter to a mother. this is the accounting of the dysfunction in Pink's life and upbringing that, brought him to his descent into madness and breakdown. THAT is the basis/undercurrent of the story that The Wall tells.
whoever asked for this to be reacted to on Mother's Day either didn't get the song or has a very strange/troubled relationship with their mother
Absolutely correct. This is a song about a "helicopter mom" before the term "helicopter mom" was a thing.
It's astonishing how little attention some people pay to the lyrics of songs.
True, even the very last line "Mother did it need to be so high?" (the wall), so chilling to think how Pink started to see the toxic effects of Mother sprouting from the seemingly loving care and attention she gave him.
Thank you. 🍻
This album is ONE BIG SONG! It tells an entire story! It needs to be EXPERIENCED !
Well said and on-point.
YES. You should be in a dark room with incense and blacklight and lavalamps with it LOUD.
Silence anyone that enters till it's totally over!
@@ConspiracySmurf Yes! Headphones on, lyrics in hand! 😎👍
@@heatherlynn3438 That's how I attack any new music. I'm all over Tom Macdonald right now. lol. This is what kids did in old days with new album, we reviewed lyrics/photos/images and played it over and over till we were "done" absorbing it. Then we tried to play it backwards. hahahaa #funtimes
Pink Floyd IS the greatest band of all time. It's not debatable.
Truth
EXACTLY THANK YOU. I’m 16 and Pink Floyd is my favorite band, I mean everything about them just blows my mind and I just love every solo they have
By far
You may not have a mother or a father, but you have a family. A bigger family than most of us, even those of us who may still have a parent alive. I know you feel like family to me because I watch your reactions so much.
FACTS!
💯
You should have said you may not know your mother or father..
@@harrycrabb4357 puke them guts out big crabby. The world's still spinnin'..
Polo and I couldn’t be more different in our upbringing, but we are somehow the same.
I was 14 when this album came out. It defined my generation. I listen to it to this day. Been tearing my wall down for years
Hi polo , my name is L J Howie and I’m a portrait artist from Scotland and have watched a lot of your reaction videos of pink Floyd and dire straights and such like .
I couldn’t help hear you say when listening to Mother that you hadn’t had that experience to feel the same as us guys that had the privilege of having a mother rise us , however I’m blown away with your beautiful attitude and that you didn’t go down the wrong path .
You come across very likeable and shows people that just because you never experienced the love from a mother or father that nobody can use that as an excuse to act that they can’t give love or have a child or treat a partner good just because they didn’t experience it , because you are a very good example that you can and you didn’t have any grudges or be bitter .
I applaud you mate 👏.
Lindsay j Howie .
With Pink Floyd nothing is ever rushed. Every note is struck perfectly. They are masters at leaving just the right space between each note.
Pink Floyd is hands down the best band of all time. I've been listening to these songs for almost 40 years and still love them every time.
This album, the Wall, is a complete story and should be listened to straight through
Roger eludes that the first "brick" ...started with Mom
This song is about a Mother who just won’t let her grown up ’baby’ go into the real world.
As a Mom, that hurt my heart for you. I wish I could give you a big hug and let you know, that we love you! We are your family now! Thank you for sharing a little of your story and sharing music with us. For us it’s like introducing your favorite song to your friend, and we get to experience that together. ✌️😌
If you watch the film, PINK FLOYD THE WALL ( 1982 ) you will have a deeper understanding of the meaning as the film version is just a visual telling of the same lyrical story but it does fill in some other holes as far as seeing into the mind of Pink Floyd's creative psyche, Particularly Roger seeing as it's his lyrical work and vision with this one.
''All of their songs are different but still have that signature sound''. Well put and an amazing reaction!
Basically, it’s about Mother-Son enmeshment. The psychiatric term for Mama’s Boy. Written by Roger Waters. Supposedly about his Mother. An extremely disturbing song. 😔
I feel for any man that has (or had) such an overbearing and smothering Mother.
No man wants to have this kind of mother.
The Wall is the wall Mama builds to protect her son. From all and anyone she doesn’t approve of. And she won’t ever approve of any woman for her baby. Should he find one, Mama will make all her nightmares come true. I’m about to have my 40th wedding anniversary with a man that this song’s talking about. Mama is 95. I need a medal for still having my sanity.
Yeah, not a good example of a good mother.
This song is not about Rog’s mother. He’s talked openly about his mother many times, and every time he has amazing things to say. He just understood the dangers of an overprotective matriarchal figure in a kid’s life.
@@jacobwilkinson6112 No, it's not about Roger's mother. It's about "Pink's" mother - the character in The Wall that Roger portrays.
@@Frostrazor yessir
@@jacobwilkinson6112 Roger is on some heavy copium so you really can't take anything he says seriously. When he says it isn't about his mom...its DEFINTINELY about his mom.
This album changed the way I look at many of the things in my life.
Thx for sharing your story, my Mom died of cancer when i was 12. It wasnt until my wife became a Mom that i remember celebrating this day.
So, this album is very much a rock opera, and if you ever have the opportunity to do so, I totally recommend listening it to in one go. It's a fantastic piece of art.
It’s commendable how Polo is seemingly grounded, and adjusted to his place in this world, all the while admitting an absence of a nurturing Mother. Priveleged with a Mother that saved my life many times over, it’s difficult to connect with someone who wasn’t as privileged. This life is beautiful, in the fact that I’m never for the lack of experiencing new people and perspectives. Polo’s strength lies in a place that mine is absent of, and my strengths are annealed by circumstances that Polo, or others, might not have had. And all the while, as different as we are, we’re still able to find comfortable solace in music, or many other shared commonalities. The Sun celebrates our uniqueness to each other, but the shadow, hides us from each other.
Regardless of your childhood you are a lovely man bless you.. We celebrate mothers day in march in England..Pink Floyd an iconic band formed in 1965 here in London glad your enjoying 😘
Polo, I was touched by your comments about your youth, and having no family. My story is different, but troublesome as well. Wish I could buy you a cup of coffee, but I’m older and retired and on “fixed” income. Love watching you your reactions AND your vibe. You’re an awesome human being and did a great job raising yourself, sir. Best always!
No one shall ever be good enough for this Mom
Uh what
It's paced & sung like a lullaby.
Very much so. A very fucked up lullaby.
Not any more screwed up than ". . .and down will come cradle, baby and all."
Thank you for sharing your story. I can only imagine… You seem like such a kind and gentle man. ❤
Feel you man. No father, mentally ill mother. One of the things she did right was always listen to pink floyd.
Cheers
I'm a huge Floyd fan. Met this album at age 14....in 1984. Used to get high and put it on after school at buddy's house.
We..US 4 made a pact....we would only try Acid/ LSD if we got ahold of a vhs of the movie....then we found out that a local theater was playing it at 9 and midnight one weekend.
Went to both showings ...tripping.
My mother asked me next day.....
How was it?
Me...A trip.
Her...what was it about?
Me..a Rockstar nervous breakdown.
The next year in English class I did a class presentation on the poem/ song...the thin ice.
This album IS my early teen years. Can never put it on without happy memories of my youth.
The Thin Ice is probably my favorite song from The Wall... may be the shortest song on the album, but the reality of it hits me every time I listen to the album. ...with your fears flowing out behind you, as you claw the thin ice ... raw emotion!
dude pink floyd’s the wall might be the greatest album ever recorded. you gotta listen to the whole thing from start to finish in one sitting. not kidding, its totally worth it.
Always gotta mention those badass solos by the greatest of them all David Gilmour..love that man...❤
This is one of the greatest concept albums of all time and the movie really helps understand whats going on song to song and the story
That piano is everything.
Polo if you love how they are able to have such different in each song you need to watch the wall. That movie will make you appreciate the album so much more. It's amazing!
The movie from 2017? Just wanna make sure before I watch it
@@poloreacts27 no, Pink Floyd: The Wall. It was made in 1982.
@@poloreacts27 There is a movie that was released around the same time as the album back in the early 80's. There's also a track or two in the movie that didn't make the album. "When the Tigers Broke Free" and "What Shall We Do Now?"
@@OptOutofGunControl the remastered versión from The Wall movie...with "Hey You" is better choice!
Why not schedule an hour and a half live and let's listen and watch the movie!! Folks would love it...I know I'd watch again 😎
huh,.. this song is about how his mother suppressed and tortured him,.. how could someone ask for this on mother's day,. that would be like asking for Goodbye Blue Skies on sept 11,..
"Hey You" is another good song from The Wall.
Lost Mom May 19th almost 3yrs ago and never had a Dad.
When I was 4yrs old Mom complained about her side hurting, went to hospital and came back 9 months later with no hands or feet and no legs below the knees or arms below elbows...she was much sicker than anyone thought and died 4x on the surgery table but came back and kicked ass and was a mother as good as she could be to 5 kid's!..You opening up opened me up dude and it's rough right now but that's ok and it's going to be alright dude 😎

You've finally nailed one of their greatest songs that didn't get way too much radio play. Now, you should check out "On The Turning Away"! The melodic carousel of the vocals and guitar solos will reduce you to tears!!! I can almost certainly guarantee that it will immediately become your favorite Pink Floyd song!!!
Such a moving song. Beautiful melodies, beautiful vocals.
Check out Pink Floyd "Goodbye Blue Sky" from the Wall album. The way they transition in and out of beautiful and hopeful to dark despair is really cool.
I got to see Roger Water perform The Wall several years back in Boston, at the part where it goes "Mother should I trust the government?" the entire arena yelled "nooo" lol. Great show.
This is off the album, "The Wall", which is a movie as well. It's a cult classic. It's all the songs off the album, animated at times, and none of the band members are seen in the movie. It is free on youtube.
"mother do ya think they'll drop the bomb?" really interesting reaction. this band goes deep, psychologically. you're on it, thanks. "mother will she tear your little boy apart?" damn.
The Bomb question is part of the backstory - that the mom lost her husband (the boy's father) from the war (WWII) and has imparted all her fears etc onto the boy as she smothers him with overprotective nature all because of her fears and insecurities of not wanting to lose him either.
As said his father had died in World War II. But by the time Pink was questioning things we were into the Cold War.
And despite being closer today than we were then, life was much different. And being nuked was always in the back of our mind. In school they taught us to bend over and kiss our ass goodbye. I mean duck under the desk.
✌️🤠🏞️🐂
it's all good Polo! You found yourself a nice big family right here, brother!!!
And as I'm sure countless others have mentioned - this isn't a song about an ideal mother/son relationship. This was an unhealthy relationship where the mother was controlling and overprotective to the point of toxicity. The album and concept of The Wall was the sheltered barrier that she helped him erect around himself as she deprived him of a normal childhood.
Upon going out in the world, The Wall became not just a defensive barrier, but made it impossible to function and relate to others and the world. That last line was him asking rhetorically did you really need to make that wall so high?
The song "Hey You" is a song that depicts how he is trapped inside the wall, yearning to have human contact, but his fears and anxieties, that was fostered as a child has made it hard for him to know how to lower that defense and cope. He's calling out to those on the outside asking for them to save him before he's lost forever.
No dress rehearsal... this is our life.
The show must go on....
Pink Floyd maybe my favorite band. Gilmore one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. Yep, I'm from that time.
Your perpetual motion machine went particularly well with this song. Great reaction.
You absolutely HAVE to watch the movie!!!!!!! it will completely change the way you hear PF forever....It's an amazing movie. It won 2 BAFTA awards and is regarded by Floydians as the thing that changed music forever!
I have been a Pink Floyd fan since 1968.
✌️
🤠🏞️🐂
Roger wrote this song about himself and his mother.
After losing his father when only 5 months old, his mother wrapped him in cotton wool and suffocated the life out of him..... all in the name of love and safety.
Ironically reminds you of "The Waterboy" 😆
@@freakiestshayms Not a coincidence..... Roger is a Waters kind of guy.
❤3rd best selling album of all time.
Amazing song. This guitar solo is considered one of the greats.
My favorite PF song... 🎯
LOL. For Mother's Day? Wow!
Watching you appreciate a band I have loved for over 40 years for the first time is a real treat. Especially waiting for those solos to kick in haha
Great choice! Such a simple song to play, but the chord progression and flow of this song is so incredible! One of my favorites to play ❤🎵
Fun song to play as a novice guitar player. And an experienced one😊
Goodbye Blue Skies is another great song from The Wall. I encourage everyone to watch the movie, The Wall. It roughly follows the childhood of "Pink" (aka Roger Waters) as he tries to make his way in post-war England without his father, who was killed in the war. I think film is a masterpiece, and it really helps to explain the songs that might otherwise seem nonsensical.
"look mummy!... there's an airplane up in the sky.."
I disagree. It's about Sid Barrett and his descent into madness just like much of their catalog. Their music is mostly either about that or drugs.
@@user-qy9du3xq5o so sorry shannon... hanging with your freinds and getting high didnt give you any deep insight
SOME of their songs are about sid barret
they are ALSO the ones about drugs.
the OTHER 75% of their songs are about neither...
Amen. Beautiful Lyrics ❤️🕊️. Love me some Floyd. FOREVER.
Polo...Thank you for sharing a piece of your story with us..Bless you brother. I Enjoy your tastes, insights, and understanding of the music I've always held dear to my heart....for each of us have their own, personal connection to certain songs... sometimes in a very thoughtful, poignant way.. we are never truly alone ...although some of us, most have us, have those moments when we feel like we are...We are all brothers and sisters....❤
There is a live version of this available on CZcams, from a 1981 The Wall concert (I think). It has an unbelievable, extended Gilmour solo that is well worth listening to.
My friend, this may not be what you think. Reread the lyrics and listen again. It’s not a love letter but a very dark note of an overbearing mother that contributed to his state or “wall”. This, in my opinion, makes this song so much more brilliant.
One of my favorite bands of all time. I know you do these reactions one at a time, which is great for most things, but The Wall really needs to be experienced from beginning to end. The meaning of the album, is that a psychological wall between the main character and the rest of the world is gradually built "brick by brick" by various negative people and experiences over the course of his life. From the abusive school master, the overbearing mother, the loss of his father in World War II, and other things that are revealed in each of the songs, a man slowly isolates himself from the world until he is "Comfortably Numb", but finally in the end, all of his insecurities are exposed and the wall comes crashing down. You should also watch the film they made based on the album. The animation is incredible and will help you understand the meaning behind the songs. Enjoy!
every Floyd album is a complete work... virtually none of their tracks are meant to be listened to in isolation, even if they can be ;)
Over 40 year fan . Love it.❤🎉🕊️❤️🙏
When I was in the fifth grade I used to sneak my dad's Wall album and play Mother over and over.
Welcome to the machine is a great song
Roger's and David's voices play off eachother nicely on this song (and on a few other songs from The Wall as well), with Roger singing the verses, and David singing the role of the mother in the choruses. Other noteable examples of this is Hey You, Run Like Hell, and Comfortably Numb (all from The Wall) and Dogs from the preceding album Animals. Supposedly the main requirement when hiring Guy Pratt as a bassist after Roger left the band was that "you've gotta be able to sing Roger's parts on Run Like Hell, otherwise you wont get the job" :p
I have a similar childhood experience.
Much love to you, my friend.
You are 100% correct... Pink Floyd is always and will always be undefeated!
Pink Floyd=England's best. TOOL=America's best.
Tool is the Floyd of our time...I hope there will be another but it's not looking good.
Faith No More has some amazing licks.
I’ve noticed you’ve become a big Tool fan 👍& when I describe Tool to people who aren’t aware of them that “Tool is sorta like a heavy Pink Flyod”….
When the Berlin Wall came down, Roger Waters arranged a concert there. He invited different musicians to go and sin Floyd songs. Sinead O'Connor gave an amazing performance of this song. (Listen to her "Nothing Compares 2 U" first if you haven't already, to have an idea of who she is)
Pink Floyd Albums should be listed to in their entirety.
I vividly remember when the wall came out..BOOM..A double album I can listen to cover to cover..still..A masterpiece..
My favorite Pink Floyd song
I am so very proud polo. Enjoying my threads man! 😂
Pink Floyd The WALL is an incredible Dble album and the movie is just truly Amazing!💯
My all time favorite i play and sing this to my kids all the time
2-3 years ago. Roger Waterside a version of this ( in covid isolation ) with his new band that's really cool.. The female backup singers are singing the women's parts.
Wish I had a single buck to share. Well worth time spent. Thank you.
The Wall is a great album it belongs in every classic rock fans collection
Another very moving PF song.
This is a darker shade of motherhood. A beautiful song that touches the heart of pain as so many Pink Floyd songs do.....May you savor an endless flow of blessings for your many years to come....
Brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times i listen my whole house decoraed in floyd the art is also legendary
One of my favorite guitar solos ever.
This is a beautiful song, it's part of the whole on the album. I love the soft acoustic and that line, for me? And to me? OK, I love it all.😊
I agree, and it seems to me that a majority of the reactions I have seen miss those two little phrases.
This song always gets me in my feels every time I hear it. As my mother got older we had decisions to make on if she should go into assisted living. I was not ready to have her go to that level yet so I had her come live with me for a few years. While she lived with me, I enjoyed introducing her to my music. Pink Floyd is my favorite band so of course she got a thorough introduction to them. Of all the songs, this one was one of her favorites so it definitely made our music rotation. Sadly, my mother passed a few years ago. Every time I hear this song now, it gets me so emotional. That’s what great songs do! Love you mom!!
Polo I loved for take on whats happening with family in America. I hope people take note.
You give me chills, man. Love re-experiencing these songs with you. Peace!
Don’t know why, but that speech he made in the intro, somehow moved me ❤️
It´s time for "Echoes" live @ pompeji - greets from austria
@polo Thing about this song and the others on The Wall album is they are part of a whole story the album tells. Many consider this to be Pink Floyd's greatest work. You ought to listen to the entire album.
My favorite song by this group....internal wonderings mixed with life questions layed over an incredible mix of instrumentals.....topped with the struggle to break out of smothering of your childhood
One of my fav Pink Floyd songs. Sheep originally titled Raving and Drooling from the album Animals
Your perpetual motion contraption in the background was in perfect sink with the song. Love your response.
Totally agree the best
Amazing tune!!
God bless you, Polo. Sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders. Love what you do. We are all family here! Keep rockin' brotha
Seeing the movie The Wall gives you all the context & understanding you need
Mother did it need to be so high?
Our upbringing and our lives could not be more different. I grew up with the music from the 60’s and 70’s you are just now exploring. To hear your appreciation for it and your willingness to explore music well outside of your comfort zone is inspiring. You have developed and open mind despite the challenges you faced in your youth and your efforts are truly fantastic. Keep on keeping on Polo.
