First Time hearing Pink FLoyd ( Another Brick In The Wall ) | Reaction

[@philshorten3221]

The "Poem" read out by the teacher is actually the lyrics from the track "Money" from Dark Side of the Moon.

[@denaso.9852]

Awesome album!

[@commanderkruge]

"He's scolding the kid for being creative" - Congratulations, you basically got the whole song right there. :) It's about the writer's time in school back in the 60s when the British school system was pretty much horrible and where you, when you didn't fit into the scheme, they would beat the nonsense out of you (literally). The teacher, back at home, is a weakling who jumps whenever his wife tells him to and in school lives out his frustrations by beating the kids.

[@paulmckearney4945]

The target is not the whole school system it's the "certain teachers" Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd) encountered at school in Cambridge in the 1950's.

[@paulmckearney4945]

You summed it up better than anyone I've heard...including Mr Waters!

[@commanderkruge]

@@paulmckearney4945 Thanks. But I admit I didn't come up with that on my own, but got it from the documentary about the movie. ;) And yes, it's not all teachers who were that horrible, of course, but the system allowed for them to exist. Kids getting beaten by teachers was normal back then in the UK.

[@chiron3719]

Schools teach you to be the person THEY want you to be and if you reject them, they’ll get rid of you. That’s the point of it and it’s horrifically true.

[@keithplumley9635]

Bingo. They want to raise obedient servants, not free citizens.

[@twanadenson1293]

You should watch the movie "The Wall". It's where some of these excerpts come from. It will blow your mind.

[@jennytaylor4968]

Love that movie!!🖤🤘🏻

[@danic9304]

Yeah that movie was amazing. Sooo many layers

[@caroldillard9340]

Yes this version was from "The Wall"

[@tazmom0]

I love the movie. Every time I watch it I interpret things differently.

[@wantsome-zs5sq]

Back in the 90's my buddies and I would watch it all the time when we were stoned. I saw Pink Floyd in concert in July 1994. the concert sold out 50,000 seats in 7 minutes. I went to the bathroom and I couldn't find my seat. I wandered onto the the main floor and found an empty seat in the 10th row. The guys next to me had a cigarette pack full of joints. Me and my new found friends had fun. I was so high when they pyrotechnics went off I could taste the colors.

[@LaPOLEA]

Back in those times that the writer of the song setting it in about the English schooling which was the fifties you would be lucky if you stayed in shool until you were 12 years old especially for the poor, as kids had to work to support their families, there wouldn't be any further education.

[@leshubbell3254]

The poem he was reading were the words to another Pink Floyd song called 'Money'. Also a great song. Cool reaction!!

[@cchastee0614]

"We don't need no thought control" I always feel that line. They're geniuses when it comes to the lyrical and musical world. Also there are so many "easter eggs" in this song alone. This whole album/film will have you in serious thought afterwards. Side note... I didn't crave burgers for years after watching the wall 😬

[@kerrijohnson1411]

Epic, cult classic! I’ve heard this song my whole life. I sometimes forget that not everyone knows this song!

[@osirishawkseyeU_C_ST_C]

I grew up with it as well it's a bloody shame not everyone knows it nowadays

[@thomasrocker7408]

One of the best " rock opera" albums ever created. This clip is not a " video" it is from the movie The Wall.

[@olleksheppert1554]

which is kinda the "music video" to the album

[@thomasrocker7408]

@@olleksheppert1554 not really. The full theatrical movie came out a year after the album. I was fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd perform the Wall in 1980 in Los Angeles.

[@dsaasd6300]

its a music video

[@thomasrocker7408]

@@dsaasd6300 no it is not. I tell you what. Google the movie " The Wall." I have seen the movie many times. The movie stars Bob Gendolf as Pink. It is a full length movie. This is a clip of the movie.

[@dsaasd6300]

this part of the movie ran for years as the official music video for this song so it is a music video too... idk why thats so hard to understand

[@michellewheatley2007]

As a kid who never fit in because I was a Rocker chick and a nerd, I understood the misfit thing and even graduating at 15 didn't make adults happy with you, if you wore leather and Rocked out! Love Pink Floyd. Dark side of the Moon album is my favorite.

[@alanpeterson4939]

The Wall was a Pink Floyd double album that told a story. The album was later made into a movie. This is from the movie.

[@ameyer1970]

Please listen to the entire album, it will give you a better understanding of the song. The album is one long story and each song flows into the next.

[@trevorphilips8797]

One of the best pink floyd songs. Great reaction. Could your first black sabbath reaction be paranoid?

[@jfilesgraphics]

Even after all these years.....this tune is as relevant now (even more so), as it was then.

[@lowrider4266]

Wow, I think you are the first one I've seen react to this that actually got what it's about that quick. Awesome reaction. Thanks.

[@Freedom-nu7he]

This song resonates today if not anymore time in History

[@007atermis]

This isnt the album studio version of this song this is the soundtrack from the film

[@rachel-in-the-208]

Yes, you got! 👍👏🏻 But the “Wall” is what the main character built around himself (he had a hard life) ... and he was only dreaming this. 😉 This was a whole movie ... it was a concept album. The kid is a rock singer now and is on the road, this is where he catches his wife having an affair. Great songs on their own - even better in order.

[@acatlover138]

Someone has studied George Orwell’s 1984. Good looking out friend👏🏻👏🏻

[@paulmckearney4945]

Pink Floyd "Animals" album for the fuller Orwellian theme.

[@injra9929]

It’s an excerpt from the film of the entire album The Wall. Watch it, maybe take some shrooms😉

[@jbs2763]

I dropped 5 hits before the first time I watched it back in the day lol

[@stevehill4965]

Maybe? Definitely! Great movie.

[@farrken]

The Wall album by pink floyd is a story about the life of "Pink," a rock star who builds an emotional wall between himself and the world as a defense mechanism as he slowly goes crazy. Each song on the album is like a chapter in the story. The only way to get the whole story is to listen to the whole album. This video comes from a full length movie they made after the album. It stars Bob Geldof from The Boomtown Rats as pink.

[@jimboslice450]

MONEY!

[@Manup2day]

This song is so relevant to the present. 👊😎

[@cregerbot8217]

Haha his face when he saw the meat grinder... That part traumatized me as a kid

You’re the first to really get this song! At least out of the reaction videos I’ve watched… there’s another song (The Logical Song by Supertramp) that has the same type of message, to me anyway. Great channel! Just subscribed ❤️ ✌️

[@karenlee4874]

This is my first time looking at your reactions and you caught on to it from jump. Im impressed with the young people that are awakened. Continue to go with your gut it will never lead you wrong. Many blessings.

[@omojakuta812]

Psychedelically / Poppy plant influenced bands like Pink Floyd hide a lot of interesting things in their original album audio track versions.

[@hihoktf]

It's not that the kids are bricks in the systems wall. It's that the constraining education system (think George Orwell's 1984) contributes bricks to Pink's wall. It's part of the metaphorical wall the antagonist Pink builds around himself to disconnect from reality. Edit: I posted before you made your 2+2 comment. I think you inadvertently made the connection to Orwell's book lol.

[@heidij1967]

No other words needed. You said it all!! GREAT REACTION!!

Not more.....as relevant today as it was then.

[@ilovetovape722]

Nice reaction.... you should listen to the studio version eventually.... the video footage kinda drowns out the epic solo at the end... and it is EPIC.... one of the crispest sounding guitars you will ever hear.

[@osirishawkseyeU_C_ST_C]

This is the music we grew up with in the 80s so we already knew

[@zenhaelcero8481]

As far as I can tell, the kid in the video only did one other acting gig in the 90s, nothing else. He directed and starred in "A Formula for Mayhem."

[@Robert-vj6fg]

Great comments about the difference between education and indoctrination.

[@MichaelEricMenk]

Actors from the movie: Pink as a child: Kevin McKeon Pink as an adult: Bob Geldof Pink's abusive teacher: Alex McAvoy Pink's overprotective mother : Christine Hargreaves. The phone on the end is Pink calling collect to his wife, and in sted of his wife taking the call, her lover takes the phone. The telephone operator is a real operator that did not know what was happening.

[@juanpallautapulido200]

The wall is a conceptual album by the british band Pink Floyd, so is best understood by listening all songs in the planned order. The video you reacted is cut from the Alan Parker's film The Wall.

[@TheTravelingCamper]

What you need to do to get the full experience of That song is listen to “Another Brick in The Wall Pt 1, The Happiest Days of our lives, Another brick in the wall Pt 2, then Another Brick in The Wall Pt 3 in that order and all at once. It’s essentially all one song broken up into 4 songs on the original album “Another Brick in the Wall”

I don't recall a time when I didn't know this song 💚

[@StaciaAmnaber]

Excellent understanding!!!

[@Frostrazor]

So The Wall of the establishment - yes you got it. It's a metaphor of his creativity being stifled as a kid and being forced to grow up in a faceless mindless world, told he would amount to nothing if he didn't assimilate. This song was banned in some countries as their government thought it was a call to revolt. The music video is actually a clip from the movie "The Wall" which all follows that same theme throughout. Yes the phone ringing was just an intro into the next part. Most of their albums all have continuous bleeding over from one song to the next - not the typical fade to back and start a new one after 3 seconds of silence. Eric Clapton was told about his guitar aspirations by his teacher "you'll never amount to anything". Hmmm, I think he did alright! Members of Lynard Skynard told the same thing by their gym teacher - so they formed a band and named it after the gym teacher that ridiculted them. The Wall is just a great symbolism of assimilation and crying for kids to be allowed to be free to become who they are and can. for other great songs to listen to by Pink Floyd: Young Lust Run Like Hell

The best thing school, this especially applies to college, should teach you is how to think for yourself. Critical thinking skills are crucial, and unfortunately, its not usually what's taught. That said, the line we quote the most from this "if you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" but we're geeks and we have a toddler who makes meal times interesting, lol

[@ernestcote2836]

I forgot to mention what song the poem is from- it’s from “Money” - again don’t find the video because it shortens the song and you miss the guitar solos in the middle

[@arahantiusdetache5103]

This is referencing the time BEFORE beatings were outlawed, a time that I remember well.

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

The most daunting thing to tell a 5 year old starting school is : you’ll go for TWELVE YEARS ( a life time ) THEN you’ll go to college for 4-6 MORE years so you can get a JOB to EAT for the rest of your life !🧐” ARGHGGG! I chose to tell my kids and grand kids “ your education is a KEY to the world . It’s for YOU ! It will open the world and your life will fall into place “. I remember how I felt at 5. I felt like my life was over .😰 Naw. I encouraged my kids to live and look all over the world and education was for them to play in it -not a job and not for MY dreams . My kids were great . They thrived in school bc we didn’t micro manage them . They can all write , play instruments ( multiple), sing and two of the 3 were bi lingual bc they were interested . ( faired better than I did !) My grand kids now hear Hua Chenyu, Dimash , Native American music ( my husband was indigenous) , im the grand daughter of Irish immigrants so they hear that and their world is diverse . Don’t tell your kids anything about jobs at 5 . That’s essentially mental slavery.

[@kryten09]

The irony is the same generation that was singing this song became the "school teacher" as they got older. Not all of them, but most...

[@isabelledrevet5913]

You should watch the movie and listen to all the Pink Floyd's albums... Pure music... I'm french and also a teacher, of course, the basics are very important to me, french language is hard, even for french peolple, but every day, they were listening or seeing arts, that was very important to me, all kind of music, of course Pink Floyd and many English groups or singers, because I find them so creative, rich and with awesome musicians... I've always wanted them to open their mind and have their own opinions ... But, unfortunately, a mother hated me and I've been accused of horrible faulse things... Today, teachers have no rights... I can't teach to children anymore, France is a is the country giving lessons to other countries, but we actually have no rights... Now, I want to be specialized to teach in prisons because I wanna give a second chance to people, with my way to teach... And I'm very cool... Sure, I've always been open minded, fan of British groups and music... A french woman who doesn't like France anymore... Thanks for your reactions, I always watch you... Lov

[@chrisw3421]

The kids singing in the background were (not sure) maybe 5th graders, 35 years later some tried to sue Pink Floyd for royalties.... I'd be happy enough to say, hey, that's me on that forever classic!

[@tamiramos5873]

This is the way the schools work now - for real. They don't even teach "real" topics/classes anymore. When I went to school, I started my school day at 8AM and I didn't leave the school till 3:15PM. I had 7 classes and a 30 minute lunch. ALL YEAR LONG. There was none of this semester crap. I had classes like Social Studies (history). Health Science/Biology/Earth Science, Math, English, Home Economics (some had wood or metal shop), and Gym. There were also some that had Study Hall or Drama Club, art, Music (if you were in the band). Nowadays, some of these classes have been twisted out of control or they have been removed all altogether. Anything more than what I listed is not necessary for graduation and can be learned in college.

I think that kid is meant to be David Gilmore, Pink Floyd’s lead guitarist!

[@daveofyorkshire301]

School - when I was there taught you *how to think* , question, challenge, investigate, source and learn. Now school teaches you *what to think* and prevents independent thought, questioning or challenging. It is also very heavily biased in politics and sociology. Something again you are not permitted to question or challenge, in my day that would just not be allowed. If you can't question, investigate, doubt and debate your own ideology you can't question anyone elses. If your philosophy doesn't stand scrutiny especially by you, why do you refuse to see other viewpoints?

[@LetsChillPage]

Now you know where come from the sound of "Eye of the tiger" soundtrack ;) Hello @$HollaAtKrazy, (New French subscriber here) ...All the references of the clip and the song concern the fascism which reigned in the 40s in Europe with a reference to the deportation trains, but also to the "shouted" tone of Hitler in these speeches and that used in general by the Nazi propaganda and indoctrination until in education of children. In fact, this clip must be taken in the context of the accompanying film (The Wall - 1982) which deals with the after-effects left by the war on a soldier who returned from the front to civilian life and which, little by little, confuses reality with his war memories. Of course it makes a parallel with today's education and it can makes sens with events that we live now. But never forget this is a movie-album project at the base, and so it must be taken in its wholeness... Friendly

[@MestreTarot]

Matter of fact, the album is "The Wall". : )

The 2 + 2 = 5 metaphor is more complex than most realise. The obvious reference is 1984 from Orwell, but dig deeper and you’ll find even more from Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground.

'Critical thinking'... The one thing most Atheists strive to achieve in life, because they know it to be best for throwing off the shackles of dogmatic thought control. Said best as "Teach our children how to think, not what to think. Arm them with the tools of critical thought , boundless curiosity, to be able to comfortably say 'I don't know, but will strive to find answers, and gain the ability to afford careful thought in the face of authority that demands unquestioning obedience."... That... and it's a really cool song with an awesome message! :)
