"The Wall" is a rock opera. The whole album is the story of a young man, with a domineering mother, growing up in post WWII England, having lost his father in the war, becoming a star, and having a breakdown. All Pink Floyd should be listened to as albums, front to back; but with the wall it is a must, to really get the story.

[@davidwillford3119]

The poem that the teacher mocks consists of some lyrics from the song "Money" from the earlier album "The Dark Side of the Moon.." The adult Pink in the film is portrayed by Bob Geldof (singer for the Irish band The Boomtown Rats and organizer of Band Aid and Live Aid.) This clip is a flashback to the younger Pink in school, obviously. The various traumas in Pink's life cause him to build a metaphorical wall around himself to seal himself off emotionally from the rest of the world. The English school system provides a brick for that wall, as the lyrics state. Honestly, while I loved the the 1979 concept album, I thought the 1982 movie adaptation was only so-so.

[@DianeJennings]

Ohhhh that’s super interesting

[@robertcartier5088]

Excellent comment! But we disagree about the movie, I loved it! ;-] When I saw it, it was the second date with a girl who would later become my wife. She hated the film! As we divorced a few years later, I realized that I had missed the opportunity to dump her right then and there! lol

[@larrybremer4930]

I think The Wall as a movie (and the album) are like 2001 A Space Odyssey where the storyteller is not telling well defined story. There are the general broad strokes of the broken man trying to find and tear down the barriers that cause his self isolation, but there are also many ragged edges where the viewer/listener is meant to find their own meaning in the experience.

[@timmmahhhh]

The album itself painted such incredible images in our minds that nobody's movie could ever match up. I think the band members also expressed something similar.

[@aaronburdon221]

@@DianeJennings yea, that "Poem" made Pink floyd more money than all the teachers salaries in that school combined. lol

Actually Roger Waters and David Gilmoure teamed up again in "Comfortably Numb" in 2012 in rock concerts around the world commemorating "The Wall!"

@@psbarrow I heard/read that he took a whole bible of acid(One Hundred Hits) and went insane. Probably not true but believable.

[@psbarrow]

@@patrickwentz8413 Waters has given a few explanations, here's one: "In a way it’s a schizophrenic song. It’s directed at my other half, if you like, the battling elements within myself. There’s the bit that’s concerned with other people, the bit that one applauds in oneself, then there’s the grasping avaricious, selfish little kid who wants to get his hands on the sweets and have them all. The song slips in and out of both personae, so the bit that always wants to win is feeling upset and plaintively saying to the other side, wish you were here.”

No, back then qe listen to a lot of rubbish music, which the 80s was filled with to the bone. Pink Floyd were a rare exception to the general dreadfulness of the music made back then. I utterly despise the nostalgic bullshit thst is now so fashionable about the f*cking 80s. Either you forgot how terrible it was due to trauma or you were one of the rare previledged to have a good memory of it. The 80s were sh*t and Pink Floyd were one of the rare respites of quality in that dreadful decade.

[@derekwhite2929]

Worth noting D, the 'poem' the kid was writing that the teacher used to ridicule him to the class were the lyrics of 'Money' another Pink Floyd track. The themes of their works are perennial

My college buddies and I were anxiously awaiting the movie and went at the first showing at midnight, expecting something much different than what we saw. We left depressed, confused and in awe. Many years later, my pre-teen son wanted to watch it as he was a budding musician... I let him only if I was there with him and under the condition that either of us could stop the movie at any time to talk about what we were seeing and hearing. As a young man, it changed me in some ways. For the better.

[@kallsop2]

I was 16 when The Wall came out and had just started getting into Pink Floyd in 1977. I had Dark Side Of The Moon and then got into Wish You Were Here and Animals before The Wall came out and knew that they were telling the story of Syd Barrett and his life. In 1978 or early 1979, I had a shortwave radio and managed to find a BBC station that had an interview with Roger Waters discussing The Wall before it was released and he explained a lot of went into creating The Wall. It was a very interesting interview. As others have said, those four albums need to be listened to in their entirety and in order to get the full effect of Syd's story with The Wall being the culmination. Also as others have noted, this is just a segment of the movie, and while it's good on it's own, seeing the movie tells the whole story. Bob Geldof was brilliant in the lead role. You need to take a deep breath before watching the movie because it's going to take you on a ride deep into someone that is falling into a deep dark area of the mind.

[@mark-nm4tc]

This is from The Wall movie which came out after the album release. Another Brick in the Wall earned Floyd a Christmas 1979 no 1 chart hit and there is a 'pop music' video to accompany the single. Sir Bob Geldof, organiser of Live Aid 1985 & Live8 2005 plays 'Pink' in the film, and for Live 8, he managed to get the band back together with their bassist Roger waters for the last ever PF gig in public. The secret of listening to PF is that the albums tell a story, so should really be listened to all the way through.

[@MobinKiadeh]

This was the version done for the Pink Floyd The Wall movie which came out in 1982, it combines "The Happiest Days of our Lives" and "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2". The original music video that came out in 1979 is very different and is only for Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 which is the one that's always played on radio.

[@ragabashmoon1551]

Fun fact is is that this is technically considered two songs on the album, "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" and "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" but they are always played together, most consider them one song. My local radio station (v100 from the Topeka/Lawrence KS area) used to have a contest where if they played two songs in a row by the same artist and you called them on it, you won $100. They pulled the 'trick' with these songs about once a week, and nobody ever caught them on it. Worst thing is, I did but I was always listening while driving so I was never in a place I could actually make the phone call to claim my $100. LOL Also, not sure if anyone else said, but the movie "Pink" was played by Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof which was a good friend of the members of Pink Floyd, and much of the music he re-recorded for the movie (at least the parts which it's actually supposed to be the character singing). Another great song (but haunting, especially for us Americans) by Geldof is the Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays" which is was written in 1979 after he saw on the news a tragedy (one largely forgotten in the constant repeats of that tragedy we have every few months) that occurred in the United States, and it was in a way his attempt to understand something that cannot be understood, the words "I Don't Like Mondays" is an actual quote from the perpetrator of the tragedy (who was up for parole again just last year, and she was again denied. They are NEVER going to let her out, very much because of those very words.)

Pink Anderson Floyd Council Two Blues musicians influential to Pink Floyd. I have been a Pink Floyd fan since 1968. And I'm sure you've already read the teachers quotes are from the song Money on Dark Side of the Moon. For me it exemplified just how arrogant and wrong education and educators can be. And corporal punishment was quite common. The entire movie which this is from coincides with the soundtrack perfectly. Watching the entire movie is a profound experience. By itself it will provoke feelings as strong as the music. Had the opportunity to see the Wall concert in 1980 largest concert production for a single band ever. With parts of what would become the movie the whole time showing on the big round screen behind them. They built a real wall throughout the concert only to tear it down at the end. They performed with a very large Orchestra, mix Course, and large boys Course. And the many extras. (actors) Safe to say there were hundreds involved. And that's not counting behind the scenes and dozens of semi trucks needed to move equipment. Have seen Floyd five times. Seen the large animals to tour as well. which until the wall was the largest of any band. But it got knocked into third place with the momentary lapse of reason tour. The concert was over 4 hours. It had sold out within hours. unexpectedly they did an encore concert following night. It sold out even quicker. Yeah we went to both. ✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️

The biggest piece to understanding Pink Floyd, is Syd Barret. This co-founder of the band was the original lead singer, and main songwriter of the band. He literally went insane from over use of psychedelic drugs while their frontman, and had to be replaced during their tour with Jimi Hendrix (I really hope you know who that is). The entire Wall album is, at least in part, about that experience - Barret's first LSD trip found him naked in a bath repeating "No Rules" over and over. Other Pink Floyd tracks you should definitely listen to are "Shine on you crazy diamond" - very directly about Barret, and "Wish You Were Here" also directly related to his leaving the band. Both are among the best rock songs ever created, so more than worth your time. For my money, the best Pink Floyd song is Comfortably Numb. If you watch The Wall you will here it there, right in the middle. Is is sheer genius from start to finish, and David Gilmour's guitar solo is just perfection.

At 67 years of age, I count myself among the blessed to to have lived my life along side such creative genius.

Diane, good on you for doing this. It brings me joy to see someone experience this for the first time. Like living it again. Bravo

There was a short interview on a radio station of one of the singers in the children's chorus and you could hear her young son running around in the background singing "We don't need no education"

Everything Pink Floyd did was epic😉😉😉

was subjected to a particularly vicious public insult by a teacher in my senior year of HS and this song reminds me of it every time I hear it wonder what things Waters had to endure back that inspired such a unique gem

[@donaldbrunner6250]

The poem the teacher read was the lyrics from a song called "Money" off their world record setting album "The Darkside of the Moon". The album was on the top 200 for over 950 weeks.

I remember school was like this in the 70's when I went to school in England. It's like military boot camp, they take away the individuality to make everyone think as one. It was a whole movie.

Man what I would give to be able to listen to Pink Floyd again for the first time

I saw the Wall concert here in California. I can say for sure if you hear 30 kids singing , there are 30 kids on stage. If you here a full on orchestra , guess what. If you hear helicopters flying overhead you not only see the lights you feel the air blowing down on you AND it moves like the sound. Have you heard the airplane crash ? Guess where it crashed into. LOL Pink Floyd concerts were an experience. One that will never happen again due to the cost of putting one on but also the fact that Gilmour is the only original member left in the band. Welcome out from under the rock 😁 My dog used to love the Animals album.... ha ha the Dogs song of course.

There are so many great Pink Floyd songs to react to, and though many insist on doing whole albums (which I get and even sympathize with), it's still great to see someone discovering this music and reacting to it. Many of us came to Pink Floyd through radio singles and from there the albums, so if you do songs here and there, you'd be giving us our radio days again. "The Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" is as deep as any of their songs. From this album, "Comfortably Numb" and "Hey You" are probably the other big two--along with live versions of "Run Like Hell." I saw your reaction to "Time," by the way, so I appreciate your taking time to look into this band!
