    Continuing in the vein of the war, couched in words resembling an anti-war protest slogan, but set to a triumphal military march, this song, along with Vera, might feel randomly placed, and yet… His voice is part of the mass choir. The entire chorus is calling out for brothers, husbands, fathers, to return and fill the void which, for Pink, became a wall. And now in his isolation, Pink comes to dwell on this loss and its impact on his life.
    Here’s the link to the original song by Pink Floyd:

    I’ve seen a few comments, not necessarily critical, but frustrated that this series is taking so long. Can I just say I am actually enjoying the fact that it’s drawn out this way … I realise we live in an age of instant gratification and binge watching, but I like the fact that I’ve been enjoying this series for a year now, rather than maybe watching it over a month or two, and it being long forgotten by now! Once it’s done, I will miss the pleasant surprise each time I see a new episode.
    Thanks for your work!

      But Christmas is only a few days away, so in our eyes, we will have to wait "forever" before knowing their contents.

    The ending of this part sets up for the next... transitioning from inside Pink's mind back to real time. "Time to go" is for the tour manager outside Pink's hotel room trying to get him to "The Show".

      especially considering the cut song from the album, "when the tigers broke free." I'm honestly glad that song was cut from the album because otherwise it would be genuinely too emotionally overwhelming for me. Its placement in the film is perfect but in the album I don't know where it would fit without just making the record so sad as to be too sad to bear.

    For me, after the desperate plea to bring the boys back home, the 'Time to go", knocking and "Are you feeling OK" are flashback's to other parts of the album. For example "Are you feeling OK" comes from One Of My Turns when he has taken the girl back to his apartment and is just about to go berserk and smash everything up and "Time To Go" is, I think, from Is There Anybody Out There of which we get a small reprieve at the end of this track.
    I think that this is all part of that meltdown. He has, as you say, condensed the feelings of war fatigue into one short song and this is further reinforcement of his state of mind.

    • @CineSoar
      @CineSoar Před 10 měsíci +11

      "Time to go" is in the 'present' moment. Pink is zoned out in front of the TV, and his manager (Bob Hoskins, in the movie) is knocking on the door because Pink is supposed to be on his way to the concert.

    • @bdoehner

      Good analysis. I seem to remember that someone (Roger?) said about the movie that he saw Syd say like that and the promoter saying “Time to go” (onstage). Then he’s dosed up …. and thus can, but he loses his mind. It’s sad and brilliant ❤ and reminds us how Syd is another narrative thread ❤❤

    when the drums fade we are left with voices swimming in pink's head as he sits in a catatonic state in his hotel room. you hear the teacher saying, "wrong! do it again!", the groupie saying,"are you feeling ok?", the telephone operator saying,"see he keeps hanging up...and it's a man answering",and his manager banging on the hotel room door yelling,"time to go!" referring to the concert pink is scheduled to play,but is in no condition to do so. in a last desperate attempt to reach out to the real world, pink's mind once again cries,"is there anybody out there?"
    enter the doctor,and the magnificent song "comfortably numb"

  • @spookytooth69

    The Wall really MUST be taken in and experienced as a single piece rather than individual songs. The Wall is the truest example of a "concept album" that I know of. When I first heard it as a single piece (as intended) at the age of sixteen, it literally changed my life. It's themes of alienation and madness still move me today.

    I hear all the combined sound and voices as the "thin ice of modern life" that Pink is skating on. He feels that everyone else is just going on without any of the pain that he feels as a result of the war, almost as if it never happened. Thus, is there anybody out there? And from Vera, does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

    • @Josephine_Mass
      @Josephine_Mass Před 3 měsíci

      In flashback form, reliving trauma that never dissipated; his hope, a fantasy that should've been reality and makes no sense not to have been (as with so much else in life), persists like trauma does, compartmentalized and unaccessed, an alternate timeline that is only reasonable, embodied in this case by agreement and the force of shared emotion in a chorus of loved ones, builds to the foreground as if what reality should have been, was (or is, from the perspective of flashback), the call for their return surely heard and will be understood, only to recede into the realization of now, with just the trauma and his suddenly lone plea extending outward, left. Looking/feeling back to what was so important, intimately sacred (and yet shared amongst so many, as confirmation), then coldly abandoned by how life has actually turned out, his call reaching out into nothingness.
      Enter, at that point, the many pressing patterns of voices as stressors in his life, accumulating and operating as machinery, brutally revealing the routine and seemingly ordinary sources in society of why the call had extended outward into nothingness instead of resulting in an answer of compliance. Those audible hallucinogenic stressors WERE the response to his futile childhood call, now facing him, filling the vacuum (which may have been preferable).
      The isolation or sense of absence that trauma leaves in an individual can give way to a revelation of its cause (represented by a distorted immediate), being worse than the nothingness there before.

    Yes, it's powerful art. Thanks to Roger's personal experience of loss due to war, we're seeing the so often unseen casualties of war, the families left behind after loved ones are lost. It is simultaneously a great thing and a sad thing. May it be realized, "...Bring the boys back home. Don't leave the children on their own no no. Bring the boys back home...". ❤

  • @derekspitz9225
    @derekspitz9225 Před 10 měsíci +11

    The looped voices at the end are from preceding songs: the school master's bullying, Pink calling his wife and her lover answering the phone, and the detachment caused by constant touring as signified by the groupie's voice from 'One of my Turns'.
    And of course, 'Bring the Boys Back Home' can be seen as bringing soldiers back from the war, and also be read as bring the boys (Pink's band and their crew) back home after extended time on the road (as Pink Floyd actually did).
    These things, along with Pink's father's death in the war, are certainly four 'bricks in the wall'. Not sure why there's nothing from Pink's mother here? That would make sense.
    The door knocking and 'time to go' is I think a roadie or promoter calling Pink to the stage with no response, which feeds into the next song, Comfortably Numb.

    • @Josephine_Mass
      @Josephine_Mass Před 3 měsíci

      There wasn't an audio clip of his mother from the film to use, I believe, and certainly not an anxiety producing one if otherwise, but its absence here sort of also preserves how he would like to think of her (as shown throughout all of Mother aside from its end) in a more cherished and protective role, from even before his father died.

He guesses he chose a tractor cuz it was the biggest loudest most powerful vehicle he knew about at that age and he figured as big as it was that would get his father back!! Funny how a mind works at a young age.

    I started listening to this album in my childhood, back in the 80s, because my uncle had the vinyl discs and I was fascinated with the illustrations; all those creepy characters and marching hammers behind the white bricks. So, I would listen to the album while looking at that wonderful painting by Gerard Scarfe, not understanding a single word since English is not my main language. I never studied English, one of the ways I learned the language was trying to figure out the lyrics (this was before Internet was a thing) and translating the songs in this album. Bring the Boys Back Home was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid.

    At first the meaning was to go directly from "Is there anybody out there" to "Comfortably Numb": "Hello, is there anybody in there", but waters though to put some in-between so the second half didn't seem so intense.... He wrote "Nobody Home" in two days, and it ended it up like that, with "Is there..." and "Numb" a few songs apart.

    There are several meanings of the song in this location... one, of course, is the absence of his father, lost in the war, and the yearning that he came back alive... the other is that he is touring and has no home; in fact, his home life is falling apart because of the infidelities (both himself and his wife). You can hear him yearning to "return home," but there is no home to return to...

    This tune as well as in Vera, both in the isolated mind of Pink as he O/D's in the hotel room putting all the peripheral crap of his modern life behind him, is probably a recollection of the records his mother would have played. 1940's brass band music, war tunes, swing that the young boy would have remembered and which swirled around his head as he lay on the carpet.
    This is the scene at the start of the next tune when the doctor comes in. Pink by then is on another level of consciousness. Not a moment of realisation, but a dark knight of the soul. Prescription drugs take care of that. Big Pharma is the new Mother.

      @ulfingvar1 I seem to recall suggestions that some band members thought "The Final Cut" was a collection of songs that weren't good enough to get on The Wall.
      I'm not sure this is true though as it's all about British life in the Maggie Thatcher era and for that reason alone, I can't see how it can be considered a continuation of The Wall.

    Of course the brilliant Comfortably Numb (David's?) serves beautifully as a fantastic if a bit dark (and accurate) song in itself as well as an integral piece of the Wall. It's been in my repertoire since 1980. Another Brick in the Wall as well was a disco hit - I'm not kidding, I danced at every club in WeHo (West Hollywood) and the disco joints loved that song. Everytime I hear a song from the Wall my head plays the album from the end of the song.

    Pink Floyd used to make albuns which just made sence if you listen all of song in the sequence. I think could be an error to listen and analyse each track isolated way. Sometimes, isolated, the song could not make sence. Fortunately you are listening all of the álbum and probably you'll see what each one represent in whole. Thank you for your job.

    Portion of an interview with Roger Waters:
    Roger Waters: "[Vera] precedes, what is for me anyway, the central song on the whole album: Bring the Boys Back Home."
    Interviewer: “Why?”
    Roger: "Well, because it's partly about not letting people go off and be killed in wars, but it's also partly about not allowing rock and roll, or making cars or selling soap or getting involved in biological research or anything that anybody might do, not letting that become such an important and 'jolly boys game' that it becomes more important than friends, wives, children, other people."

    Waters own father was killed at Anzio in 1944. He has been as consistently anti-war as any songwriter I know of over the past 50 years. If you have a chance to listen to "The Final Cut" album, it's ALL anti-war.

    Any chance you will cover other Pink Floyd albums after you finish with The Wall?
    Personally, any album from the Roger Waters era (Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish you Were Here, The Final Cut) would be awesome. Not really a fan of their hippy-sounding Syd Barrett era or the post-Roger Waters era.
    I would particularly love if you would listen to The Final Cut. Lots of people hate it, but that's because it's a more nuanced and subdued album. It's technically a sequel to The Wall, because it touches on the same themes of war and corruption (amazingly, if I might add), but unfortunately it doesn't have that variety in music styles. It's still great though.

    I agree with you about living in the modern age of instant gratification... However sitting in a den and listening to a concept album with some songs less than a minute long and then critiquing them for over 30 minutes warrants the need for a little criticism.... If you're going to commit to something then go at it the appetite that you actually want to hear the music and critique it..... Many of us have jobs where we are not at home. Many of us have children that are not at home but they need to be dropped off and picked up from school. Some of us work two jobs. But taking this much time to listen to the wall it's like you are critiquing everything in parts 1 & 2 of The godfather. We all lead busy lives... But if you're going to commit to something then commit to it wholeheartedly.,. Not a song every other week.. it's turning into clickbait and a gimmick for money to top off those clicks.... Come on you seem like an educated person let's not take advantage of the audience.

If anything combine those songs and do a further deeper analysis into the more popular and layered songs like comfortably numb.,. But this milking it for every click is growing tiresome. Come on now if you've never heard comfortably numb I forgot a bridge to tell you in Brooklyn....... Stop playing The click game and start playing the songs that make this record so iconic... Turning into a cheap gimmick now.. you're better then that.......
