Classical Composer reacts to PINK FLOYD: RUN LIKE HELL (from The Wall) | The Daily Doug Ep. 865

[@CharlesDunkley]

"Isn't this where we came in?" is how the album wraps back into itself. The very first thing you hear at the opening of the album is a voice say "we came in" as a note starts to play. And the very last thing you hear on the album is that very same note playing, and the same voice saying "Isn't this where" and then silence.

[@hippyslip5912]

The live version from 'Is there anybody out there' is THE best version. Roger with his inhale screeches and the way he almost talks down to the audience is so good. Came from earls court where 5 shows were recorded, with intent to be added to the movie, however none of the footage made it. This show was later released as said album above.

[@rickandgen]

That entire album is my favorite version! The only way I still listen to it.

[@RyanMovingViolationz]

The live P.U.L.S.E. version of this is mind blowing!!!

Without Roger Waters, it just seems incomplete.

[@davenelson-yd2mv]

this is the album that started the riff between the band and roger. Reading several articles on the album

[@EsteemedRepresentative]

Can't stop commenting. That solo was done with a PRESET on the Prophet-5 synth with some studio magic added on top. When you hear it isolated it's really amazing to hear all the little nuances that make it. Great stuff!

[@deancarter9210]

'Is There Anybody Out There?' the live concert version of the album from 1980-81...even better than the original studio album, IMHO.

[@mustaine136]

I'd love a full album reaction ❤ thanks for this!

[@feelingthislife]

Fave pink Floyd song forever and always

[@andersondavies3589]

I saw them live in 1988, and this one was their final song, everything - EVERYTHING - they had on stage and off stage was set into motion, setting the night (open air concert) on fire with lights, lasers and erratic movements of all the machinery they had used before, cumulating into a sudden silence after all the stage seemed to explode followed by a very fine fireworks :) Probably the biggest WOW-moment of my life. Never had a single second filled better :)

[@stoppropaganda2573]

There is a very important reference in this song that most miss. In the novel "Lord of the Flies", Roger rolls a boulder toward Piggy who is desperately trying to restore order with the conch shell and is struck by the boulder, which shatters the conch shell and sends Piggy to his death on the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. This is a crucial moment in the novel and Roger Waters expresses this moment in "Run Like Hell" as this: "With your nerves in tatters As the conch shell shatters And the hammers batter Down the door You'd better run" Very powerful and insightful stuff!

[@aarongideon9036]

The lyric is not 'conch shell' it's 'cockleshell', as in the flimsy boats used in Britain's WWII Operation Frankton. There are multiple references to WWII movies in The Wall obviously so the movie 'The Cockleshell Heroes' might be an inspiration for the lyric. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Frankton en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cockleshell_Heroes

[@stoppropaganda2573]

@@aarongideon9036 You are right when the lyric uses cockleshell but I've seen conch shell and cockleshell used interchangeably in printed lyrics. Both are appropriate.

[@jasonmeadors3524]

I believe that was David Gilmour on his steel guitar rather than a synth. I really enjoy your reactions to Pink Floyd songs.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

It's only while listening to thi reaction that I've realised that the guitar rhythm is almost identical to that in "Another Brick in the Wall, part 1" - there's certainly a thematic connection between the two.

[@Stewiecookie]

This is another one of those one’s that the pulse version is just on another level. I probably listen to that live album more than any individual studio album.

[@1berto_neves860]

The live version on "P.U.L.S.E" is amazing, but the one on "Is There Anybody Out There?" is out of this world!

[@flyk3n]

While ITAOT is heavily edited from various performances and has some slight mixing issues, it has the definitive version of Run Like Hell imo (as well as Another Brick pt. II with the extended guitar and organ solo). From Roger's deranged intro to the way David and Roger's voices build up against each other in the verses, it surpasses any other version i've listened to.

[@steveaustin16]

I can't listen to just 1 song off this album. Thanks Doug, now i have to listen to the entire album right now!

[@josbruls]

That's a Roger Waters album though labeled a Pink Floyd album. But Gilmour didn't want his name in the credits. I think it's a great album with great lyrics by Roger Waters who was already sinking deeper into paranoia.

[@scotthennen9280]

Quite possibly my favorite PF album!

[@yesemitesam333]

I agree but I suspect it is for different reasons than you. I bought TFC when it was released: played it once; felt embarrassed and sad at how excruciatingly awful it was and I put it back in its sleeve where it has remained ever since. I have never been able to listen to it again as every time I think I should, I am reminded of what a heart-breaking experience it was to listen to it. As a PF fan from the early 70s it was the moment I realised their crown had slipped. So yes, a review would be interesting.

[@ArthurMol-ib5tg]

Final cut

[@andy8017]

I remember many nights in the 80s in rural Suffolk UK. We'd find 'session' spots. Drive out, park up, roll up. And that would consist of a few smokes and a couple of Floyd/Genesis albums.

[@palantir135]

David Gilmour had an epic live concert: Remember that night. David Crisby, Graham Nash and David Bowie were among the guest musicians.

[@chassetterfield9559]

Run Like Hell is a great track. It is however possibly the least like a "Pink Floyd" track of any PF track that I know. which is saying a lot given the variety of music they have made over the years. Keep Reacting!

[@jyutzler]

This was surprisingly light on music analysis. I expected some discussion on the blocky major chords in the hook. Is it a chord progression or a simple melody expressed through major chords?

[@quadrophenius5379]

This Song made me a Pink Floyd-fan. Saw it in the performance on the silver clef award festival in Knebworth 1990 (all in all a great festival with fantastic bands). Later I had the chance to see it performed by Roger Waters on a "The-Wall-Tour", must have been in 2013 I think. It was an epic and frightening experience. Roger was standing there, clothed as this communist/Nazi-Leader, showing a video where soldiers are murdering civilians and the crowd (me as well) was excited joining him in claping his hands in that moment. That's why it's so simple for whomever to manipulate and control us primitive human beings... At least afterwards we can think about on what we were doing, so maybe we are able to learn... But anyway. Thanks for sharing this great song on youtube.

[@scottmcley5111]

Great track. Great album. I was always under the impression that the "War album" era of Floyd, where Roger became the idea man for their writing, was what began to divide the band? I find it strange now, that Gilmour and Mason collaborated for a Ukrainian war song. Roger was upset about the threat of nuclear war.What is Nick and David's "Hey Hey Rise Up!" to promote it? Weird.

[@doscwolny2221]

Anyway, im hoping this donation will buy me a request. Its something i think you would really appreciate. Its the title track from another concept album from 1971. These guys are not well known but, after release, it sold 7000 copies both in Winnipeg and Toronto. They are an English band. With a very distinct sound. This album was mostly unplugged and it is a fav of mine with several fav tracks. The band is called Audience, the title is called House on the Hill. Honorable mentions include: Jackdaw, Indian Summer and an awesome cover of I Put a Spell On You.

I’m tired of people pushing the David vs Roger thing. Come on folks. They were two sides of the same coin. Equal but different. Both geniuses in their own right. Fixating on the feud or taking sides is missing the point. We were ALL very fortunate to have both of them together during the time we did. Let’s face it, during that era there was all the other music in the world (and a ton of pretty amazing stuff) and then there was Pink Floyd. Show them the respect they deserve please.

Comfortably Numb and Run Like Hell are two of only 3 songs on The Wall that David Gilmour has writing credits on. As you've not struggled with previous Pink Floyd Albums, I'd hazard a guess that Roger Waters has a more zealous copyright lawyer.

[@felixUW]

If you Take a look to the credits there’s something noticiable: young lust is a Waters/Gilmour song but comfortably numb and run like hell are Gilmour/Waters songs … that’s not casual. Music and vocals melodies came from Gilmour and lyrics and some music came from waters in the last two.
