This is almost a Gilmour showcase song....his lead vocals and his double-tracked vocals on the second verse, not to mention his oddly tuned/stringed arpeggio intro acoustic guitar work, his multi-track lead guitar work, playing off each other, both almost angry and crying solos. Just great stuff.
@@lastpenny849Roger Waters was the bassist and principal songwriter pretty much from DSOTM until his departure after TFC. However, there are certain songs where David Gilmour played the bass and did so by virtue of being a more technically proficient musician that Waters and was able to get the job done in a fraction of the time it would've taken Waters to accomplish the same thing. Let's not forget that PF were up against some serious time constraints to get The Wall finished, and, RW being very much a bigger picture kinda guy, wasn't fussed who did what, as long as the end result was in line with ' His vision". Another example of this rationale was Gilmour playing the bass on Pigs ( Three Different Ones) from the 1977 album, Animals.
Superlatives aren't sufficient to describe PF, David Gilmour's guitar and this particular song. They're as classic as Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven to me. Generations will remember PF as the greatest music ever made. Rock on my friends.
Finally someone did Hey You. The best track on the whole album. If you haven't seen the movie, get on it! One of if not the best "album into a movie" movie ever done. It is literally the Wall album visualized. Dont expect great acting with great lines, but expect to see Pink in the flesh. "hey You" makes perfect sense when you watch it
@@francisslam1457 A scene was shot (involving violence and protestors throwing rocks at police trucks) but was cut from the film. It's available on DVDs as a bonus.
@@francisslam1457 Sure is. I completely forgot it wasn't. But also im real sure i heard it in the film. Might be the extras or some other version.. Honestly its been years so who knows 🤭
I’m italian i don’t speak English non I’m using the translator I wanted to thank you because you are a le to make me understand music even at my age. My name is Salvatore and I’m from Naples .
Great analysis! I think „Hey You“ is one of the overviewed pieces by PF. A very emotional and one of the darkest songs in their discography. Roger must have been through a lot, wich is reflected by the lyrics and concepts in this period.
This song brings back memories from more than three decades ago. I only had a cassette tape and a poor-quality device to play it. Now it sounds amazing.
The first copy of Animals I bought was on cassette. Bad move. They cut Pigs into two pieces, between the first two verses, and didn't include the lyrics. It wasn't until I bought it on vinyl (with lyrics) that it started to make sense structurally.
I love The Wall, but rarely seek it out to listen to... because it's just so emotionally taxing. Every song is a rollercoaster of emotion (and goosebumps).
The summer of 1980, when I was 16, I thought "The Wall" was the greatest piece of music ever recorded, and within a matter of months, I could no longer bear to hear anything from it.
After The Wall, Pink Floyd wanted to put out an album called Spare Bricks, which would have included "When the Tigers Broke Free" and a few other songs from that era. But then the Falklands War broke out, and we got The Final Cut instead ...
I will forever maintain that the riff that acts as the motif of the entire album coming in after "I'm coming home" is one of the most moving pieces of music that rock music has produced. Because later when it comes back it's used with power and strength, but here it seems like it's supposed to a somber walk in a completely empty void. Like it's echoing in the world in the emptiness behind the wall
Hey You was supposed to be the closing song on side three after Comfortably Numb. But technical limitations on printing LP’s prevented this from happening.
Doug, you might be interested in a much bigger and more expansive break down and introspection of The Wall songs by a classically trained Harpist, called Virgin Rock. You may know of it. Amy's monthly listen and follow up breakdown of the songs are of legend. Many, many long time listeners of Pink Floyd are finding new joy and insights into the music that they have loved for over 40 years through her work. I know you are probably very busy, however I highly suggest you check it out in your own time as her videos make for a very enjoyable listen as she breakdown, not only the music, but the lyrics as well.
The tuning for the acoustic guitar is pretty interesting. It's called "Nashville tuning" but David Gilmour took it one step further. The normally heaviest gauge E string used for the guitar's lowest note is also replaced with a high E. Makes for a beautiful ringing arpeggio.
Gilmour was interviewed by some guitar magazine, and he told them that. The author (who also did the transcription) realized then that he had been playing it completely wrong.
@@christopherheckman7957 So was I. I've got an old Takamine hanging on the wall (no pun intended) and its it's permanently strung that way. The Bm chord is hard to play though. That 6th string is just impossible... st least when using a 009.
This was the song that got me interested in playing fretless bass. 6:00 This song was not included in the film Pink Floyd: The Wall. A scene was shot, but it was dropped. Watching the film, I didn't ever feel pity for the Pink Floyd character. Without "Hey You", it seemed like he was enjoying his descent into madness and bigotry.
This is probably the greatest concept album of all time. Roger was working out a lot of his demons when he wrote this. Watching the movie would probably be a good thing for you to truly understand what it is all about. As well the next album, The final cut is basically the third record in this masterpiece. It is time that you explore The Grateful Dead, If Jerry doesn't blow your mind, you aren't a musician. I would suggest you watch an entire live concert and not a studio album. Specifically Terrapin station suite.
Waters was good at lyrics, but musically left a lot to be desired. Most of the musical sound is due to David Gilmour and Bob Ezrin (and Ezrin even helped make the plot more linear). This was not a Roger Waters album. If you want to hear the first Roger Waters album, listen to "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" (whose concept was pitched at the same time as The Wall).
Sorry, that is just not correct. Of course the band and producer added lots to it( as in most cases with bands and albums), but you only have to listen to Waters own demos of The Wall to realise most of it was there musically as he had written it. Also, of course it was his album, he wrote everything and pushed the whole concept along. Yes, I am of course familiar with all of Waters own albums also. I find it strange how people have an obsession with Gilmour and seem to have a downer on Waters.. To suggest he is good at lyrics, but not song creating is nonsense. It is so blatently wrong. I think it might be to do with Waters spikey personality and politics. However, my partner has worked with both of them musically and she likes them both very much. @@christopherheckman7957
And just to add some facts...Waters wrote or co wrote all but 15 Floyd songs (except those from Momentary Lapse, if we can call that Pink Floyd without him). And of those 15 at least 10 were by Syd Barrett. So Basically only 5 pink floyd songs from the late 60's until Final Cut were NOT written or co-written by Waters. And you say he is only good art lyrics. Do you see the nonsense in that comment yet. @@christopherheckman7957
@@kevinslaney486 I didn't say that he was only good at lyrics, just that his music wasn't up to par with his lyrics. (I have said what I have said, I have not said what I have not said.) Gilmour himself said that Waters's music left a lot to be desired. He was genuinely surprised by "Money", which is in 7/8 time. He also played bass on over half of the songs he recorded with Pink Floyd, something that Waters didn't thank him for when Waters "won" best bass player polls. BTW, Waters didn't play bass on "Hey You". Gilmour scoffed at the idea of Waters even playing fretless bass.
what do you mean music not up to his lyrics? what are you talking about? I though my facts stating he basically wrote most ofPink Floyds music makes things clear. Or are you talking of musicianship only? Well, okay maybe Gilmopur is a better musician, but I am talking about songwriting and Water's exceptional skill and talent regarding that.And I'm sure Gilmour scoffed...hardly best pals. Water's is the proven talent so I dare say doesn't feel the need to scoff. Sorry, your comment just sounds like a Gilmour fan unable to accept the fact that Waters really was the driving force behind Floyd and as it's about songs, Floyd would not have existed wihout him.And the fact we are having this conversation on video about 'Hey you' written by waters of course sort of sums things up. @@christopherheckman7957
The film was great, but it was not just the bands view it was also the directors view the band did not like some of it but still a fantastic movie. a little gem for you Bob Geldorf the lead singer of the Boomtown rats an Irish punk rock band and one of the organizers behind the live aid concerts plays the part of Pink. after the movie he called Pink Floyd a bunch of pretentious prats (Toned the last word down). he latter listened to some of their earlier albums changed his mind about them and managed to persuade Dave Gilmore and Roger Waters to put aside their acrimonious differences and play as one of the headliners in the live 8 concert the last time they ever played together.
How lucky were you! I saw the Roger Waters concert tour of The Wall from a few years ago at the cinema, I am nearly 70 and it's so wonderful to see him still playing and to watch his spectacular live shows ❤
This song always gets me to the feels... Side 3 is the best, unpopular opinion, I know, but it's just more profound and an examination of Pinks descent into madness.
True, but it didn't show up in the movie, which always made me feel like Pink embraced the madness that was coming. If "Hey You" had been put in there (with an appropriate scene, not people throwing rocks at cops) as well as "The Final Cut", it might have balanced things out.
Live stream watching the movie. There are some gems not on the album. When the Tigers Broke Free. The long version of Empty Spaces. Bob Geldof singing.
oh yeah, Doug, you need to see that movie! ... but watch it with a friend! I did watch it on my own a long time ago and it just broke my heart and soul...
Once you have your own interpretation of the meaning of the album and your own visualisation of it... then it's time to watch the movie! (And be blown away by especially the animations!
The song doesn't actually fit here in the narrative, but it works so well as a side 3 opener. There was no one greater at figuring out how to make an album flow than these guys.
'Hey You' is also heavily about the destruction of real community by this 'corporate dystopia' that has encroached upon many Western society lives this last 100 years or so especially.... It's about how people have become isolated from real community and the natural need to live in real community (for that is how Mother Nature designed us) ...hence when we become isolated behind the 'walls' that this corporate dystopia (which is mainly run by those with NPD na dhence have no real empathy) our menatl health suffers....The lione at the end ''Together we stand, divided we fall'' also shows the solution is for people to return to living in real community (we need to look to indigenous communitoies again and learn from them, as the 'Nuclear Family' concept takes us away from our true natural selves and ability to share resources and hence stop destroying the world anymore with needless consumerism !
Ffs what's the point putting into words whan we don't have to ...now that's thinking boys and girls ..I love you all ...this is your captain speaking your captain is dead 😂❤❤❤❤
Thanks, Doug. I’ve seen countless times your reactions on Pink Floyd and mainly Yes, which helped me to understand some layers of the musics. Doug, I would love to ear your reaction on “Still Life”, Van der Graaf Generator, it’s such an amazing album, with amazing compositions and so much feeling :)
Hi I really like your videos and I wanted to recommend you a song from a Japanese band called Galneryus I really wold like to see you react to their song Angel of Salvation (the studio version is a loot better and longer that the official video. The official video has a bad fade out in the end the whole ending is missing witch is really EPIC so watch the studio version or the Live.) the guitarist is god tier and singer has one of the bet voices as well. The best Japanese band. P.S. It is a Power Metal band Like Lovebites but 10times better , you have to look at those guys. don't miss them.
My favorite part of this album is the fact that it's one giant loop. Outside the wall loops and bleeds in with into the flesh. Showing the cycle is never broken.
The drums for this album were originally recorded on a 16 track 2 inch machine for the basic tracks, then that tape was put away until all the overdubs were done, as the drums were mixed on to a 24 track tape for the other recording... The drum tape was later synced with the 24 track for mixdown, giving the drums a crisp and punchy sound, because they were not subject to tape wear with repeated playing during the overdub recording...
This song has one of my fav tape edits ever in it for what it means in the concept of the album. During the guitar solo its all electric instruments including electric piano, but when the bridge starts at the end of the solo and roger starts to sing ,all the instruments cut to acoustic instruments like acoustic guitar and real piano, and this happens while roger is singing "it was only a fanstasy, the Wall was too high as you can see" implying that the other members of the band are trapped under his control and cant "break free", implying that this is his story, not the collective Pink Floyd story, Roger fully plays the villian, and it really works
Hey you! Good recommendation! The music from Heroes of Might and Magic 3, specifically the town themes, is top notch. Doug would enjoy listening and analyzing them.
As a worship music leader, you should totally do "Human Sacrifice" by the Christian thrash band Vengeance Rising. There's a new video, hosted by Rev. Bob Beeman, that aired live here on CZcams a couple days ago where they present the 35th anniversary reissue. That date is not a typo. It was first released in 1988 and really has to be heard to be believed.
There's a cover of "Hey you" from 1990 The Wall concert in Berlin. I know it gets quite a lot of dislikes, but I quite like it, perhaps as a boy from Poland where the wall had to be broken. It's worth looking as a bit different version.
Love the pink floyd reviews & your reative analysis watch you quite a bit😊. I would like to see you do Nazareth's " Hair of the dog. With Dan McCaffery's passing this deserves a listen. Not a bad song on the whole albumn. Start with side one. "Star" is also one of my favorites., not on this albumn. I think this albumn will suprise you & his voice.

David Gilmore has the special ability to play the next note your ear wants to hear.
~ Gilmour, not "Gilmore." It's only been in front of everyone's face for a good fifty years.
That's why I liken Derek Trucks to Gilmour. Though they play entirely different types of music they both have that abilty to find exactly that note.
which is what Beethoven says about "having a good ear" or just "being a good musician"!
I so love Gilmour's empathy and sweet voice...
David is just such a wonderful guitarist. The tone, the phrasing, the emotion, the taste. Impeccible. Sublime.
And also quite handy as a bassist! It is DG playing bass on this song.
And that fretless bass work he played was so good
This is almost a Gilmour showcase song....his lead vocals and his double-tracked vocals on the second verse, not to mention his oddly tuned/stringed arpeggio intro acoustic guitar work, his multi-track lead guitar work, playing off each other, both almost angry and crying solos. Just great stuff.

You are so right, i have always thought that Pink Floyd should be considered classic and not rock ....
I absolutely agree. Top of the

Looking forward to this, its by far my favourite song from The Wall 🧱.
Mine too! But not by far 😊
One of the most gripping and brilliantly written concept albums ever.
This and Operation Mindcrime are my two favourites.
Side 3 of The Wall is one of the best sides ever recorded. Hey You is spooky sounding while listening on headphones in the darkness of night.
on 4g of PE 🍄
"Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?" This hearkens back to "Dogs" on Animals, where the protagonist (?) is "dragged down by the stone".
It even has that echo effect.
….. and “pigs on the wing pt 2”

How great is it to hear Roger Waters voice again. So expressive and interesting. I’ve missed that the most from current Pink Floyd.
I personally have not. I don’t like it. It grates on me after the caramel of David.

Hey You--Is There Anybody Out There?--Nobody Home is my favorite stretch on The Wall. Incredible!
"When the Tigers Broke Free" is amazing and was not included on the album release. Haunting.
It is included in the remastered version :)

He/Pink didn’t put himself in isolation. His mother, his teachers, his wife…. helped build the wall.
He lost himself.

It's about how people have become isolated from real community and the natural need to live in real community (for that is how Mother Nature designed us) ...hence when we become isolated behind the 'walls' that this corporate dystopia (which is mainly run by those with NPD na dhence have no real empathy) our menatl health suffers....The lione at the end ''Together we stand, divided we fall'' also shows the solution is for people to return to living in real community (we need to look to indigenous communitoies again and learn from them, as the 'Nuclear Family' concept takes us away from our true natural selves and ability to share resources and hence stop destroying the world anymore with needless consumerism !
There is a song in the movie not on the Album too, see if you can pick it. It's a banger too, never understood why it wasn't there.
You're in for a trip when you watch The Wall. You'll blush at the flowers.
Ffs what's the point putting into words whan we don't have to ...now that's thinking boys and girls ..I love you all ...this is your captain speaking your captain is dead 😂❤❤❤❤
The movie is great
Hey Doug spectacular as always. Of course no one will top the original. However, there is a band called Bobaflex what did an incredible cover of this.
Gilmour's Lead on this, never fails to give me goosebumps.
"the wall" is not a traditional movie - it's closer to a series of music videos (if that makes sense)
Gilmour is using Nashville Tuning on acoustic guitar for this masterpiece
Watch the most recent Roger Waters The Wall "Live" -- I seen the show live three times. It was brilliant.
Thanks, Doug. I’ve seen countless times your reactions on Pink Floyd and mainly Yes, which helped me to understand some layers of the musics.
Doug, I would love to ear your reaction on “Still Life”, Van der Graaf Generator, it’s such an amazing album, with amazing compositions and so much feeling :)
Not nearly enough is said about David Gilmours lovely singing voice
Hi I really like your videos and I wanted to recommend you a song from a Japanese band called Galneryus I really wold like to see you react to their song Angel of Salvation (the studio version is a loot better and longer that the official video. The official video has a bad fade out in the end the whole ending is missing witch is really EPIC so watch the studio version or the Live.) the guitarist is god tier and singer has one of the bet voices as well. The best Japanese band.
P.S. It is a Power Metal band Like Lovebites but 10times better , you have to look at those guys. don't miss them.
David on the Nashville tuning
Watching the movie brings it all together 🙏🏽🙏🏽
The visuals in the film are outstanding.
My favorite part of this album is the fact that it's one giant loop. Outside the wall loops and bleeds in with into the flesh. Showing the cycle is never broken.
reaction to the film would be fantastic
The drums for this album were originally recorded on a 16 track 2 inch machine for the basic tracks, then that tape was put away until all the overdubs were done, as the drums were mixed on to a 24 track tape for the other recording... The drum tape was later synced with the 24 track for mixdown, giving the drums a crisp and punchy sound, because they were not subject to tape wear with repeated playing during the overdub recording...
Excellent movie The Wall 😊
Video starts at 5:08
Yes, you do need to see the movie!
Would be amazing if you make a reaction video to every song from The Wall.
its an amazing journey :)
Favourite song on one of my top three favourite albums
Congrats on your sponsorship. Awesome!
shoutout to your 3 minute ad LOL
The movie is incredible, watch it!
9:49 nevermind snooze floyd, check out this solid rip
First CD I purchased
i pink floyd per me sono in cima alla piramide della musica...!! top
I wonder if you've listened to any of Paul McCartney's classical work, like Ecce Cor Meum, Liverpool Oratorio, Standing Stone, or Ocean's Kingdom.
What was that guitar tuning called again? It uses light strings overall. Memphis? Something that sounded southern country, I remember that much
Nashville tuning, though this one has a high e as the 6th string
How are you enjoying those Grado's? Do you like them better than the Senn HD's?
"Hey You" has a desperation tone but it's still a top song from my favorite band
Great review of a great track. But don’t tease me with that Radiohead album cover back there on the shelf! Need more Radiohead reviews!
This song has one of my fav tape edits ever in it for what it means in the concept of the album. During the guitar solo its all electric instruments including electric piano, but when the bridge starts at the end of the solo and roger starts to sing ,all the instruments cut to acoustic instruments like acoustic guitar and real piano, and this happens while roger is singing "it was only a fanstasy, the Wall was too high as you can see" implying that the other members of the band are trapped under his control and cant "break free", implying that this is his story, not the collective Pink Floyd story, Roger fully plays the villian, and it really works
Remember, Roger fired Rick Wright about this time, and allegedly wanted to get rid of Nick Mason, too.
Hey! Could you take a listen to Diablo 2 - Tristram ost. It has a dark and haunted theme with great composing!
Hey you! Good recommendation!
The music from Heroes of Might and Magic 3, specifically the town themes, is top notch. Doug would enjoy listening and analyzing them.
Love your channel. Question: what headphones are you using? Thanks.
Seems to be something by GRADO.
As a worship music leader, you should totally do "Human Sacrifice" by the Christian thrash band Vengeance Rising. There's a new video, hosted by Rev. Bob Beeman, that aired live here on CZcams a couple days ago where they present the 35th anniversary reissue.
That date is not a typo. It was first released in 1988 and really has to be heard to be believed.
The weed pipe! I like you even more now! DOUGH LEGEND!
Just wanted to throw out there that next time you do a Tool reaction I would recommend the cover of "46 and 2" by O'Keefe Music Foundation. Cheers!
You gotta see the movie brother.
Such a great song. And congrats on the sponsorship. NordVPN is great.
no bootyshake with the Mighty Pink Floyd
There's a cover of "Hey you" from 1990 The Wall concert in Berlin. I know it gets quite a lot of dislikes, but I quite like it, perhaps as a boy from Poland where the wall had to be broken. It's worth looking as a bit different version.
Hi, Doug! The movie is amazing! Try to watch it when possible and do a reaction video here. I know it will be great.
You should try the master quality version of Wish You Were Here. It sounds much better than the final mix.
🤘
Nashville tunning on that accoustic guitar
Love the pink floyd reviews & your reative analysis watch you quite a bit😊. I would like to see you do Nazareth's " Hair of the dog. With Dan McCaffery's passing this deserves a listen. Not a bad song on the whole albumn. Start with side one. "Star" is also one of my favorites., not on this albumn. I think this albumn will suprise you & his voice.
I CANNOT wait until you are able to watch the film..
