You’d be amazed at how many reactors think this IS a “mama appreciation” song, and don’t get the overprotection angle at all. Thanks for really listening. Tough tune, and I totally agree about the guitar solo - it’s the only place in the whole song in 4/4, where the music is allowed to groove and soar above the “wall.” It almost physically hurts to be constrained again when the solo is done. Masterpiece of writing.

[@mattleppard1964]

Those who don’t get it are quite annoying 😢

[@viclagina347]

When I was in high school and this came out, I would listen to 1/2 the album every night before falling asleep.

Man! you really need to listen to all of this double album from start to finish, how it was meant to be listened to, it's a work of art in the story that it tells.

[@michellez1414]

It's definitely a carefully curated experience. Great albums are!

[@robbob5302]

May as well react to the movie!

[@sookienorman2024]

Please do an album react of this it all makes sense in the end. It was my first live performance.

[@brian9438]

Truth.

[@jimo7593]

I always say "it's a novel in musical form. Don't jump chapter to chapter".

[@scottdolby]

The entire album is a concept album. It tells one complete story over the course of the entire work. One of my favourite movies was Pink Floyd The Wall. A 90 minute video story right along with the recorded album.

[@davidmoss2548]

Roger wrote the rock opera that was The Wall. His father was killed in WWII in Europe. His mother was as crazy as he was, or as nuts as she drove him.

[@TheNotedHero]

Fantastic analysis. You nailed it. This song is so sad - from both perspectives. One day you should watch the movie. It's a work of art. Weird, disturbing, unsettling, but genius.

[@joekidd1057]

These songs r here to make u think. I had a Gramps in WW2 and a Uncle in nam and a 2nd cousin in Korea.

[@barbarafrazier3242]

Pink Floyd is a super interesting band. Many of their albums and songs have deep meaning both personally and politically. Then you weave in the unique instrumentals and that guitar! The original singer and songwriter Syd Barrett had huge mental health problems, he was diagnosed schizophrenic. After leaving the band you’ll notice a lot of Pink Floyd songs have a mental health theme in them.

[@greghaynes2603]

You do this very well my friend. You caught the meani got the meaning right out of the gate. You really do need to listen to this whole album all the way through. I really enjoy witching your reactions keep it up.

Keep in mind they're English and the cold war was still relevant when this was written and these musicians parents saw WWII

Tremendous reaction and song🤟🤟😊

You don't understand because you are too young and they stopped teaching history in school before you attended. But we were drilled weekly in grammar school what to do in case of nuclear attack. No matter where we were. Home, outside playing, in the class room, etc. A TOTALLY different world than you have ever known

Do yourself a solid and watch the movie. If you are not happy double your money back. Just be prepared for a emotional journey that will change you

[@AndICanTalk2]

Happy may not be the right term, but satisfied. I love that movie, but happy is rarely the first emotion I think of when I think of it. It is fantastic though. I agree that @Shon would find so much meaning in it.

Can someone explain to me how this guy doesn’t get a copy right strike?Im not complaining as I enjoyed his take on the wall,reminds of myself when I was his age.

[@just-simple-logic]

Mother is just one brick in the emotional wall he built around himself. Other songs on the album reveal others such as his fathers death, abusive teachers, drugs, fame and an unfaithful wife. His struggles with phychosis and emotional detachment lead to a climax of tearing down the wall. The movie "The Wall" is a must see.

[@hankhaney3785]

Your level of comprehension and putting that into words, will be your continued success !

[@JamiHeart]

The Wall is a rock opera. The album is meant to listen to from beginning to end. Also, there is a movie, "The Wall" that goes along with the album. This is literally my favorite album of all time. I recommend listening to the whole album and seeking out the film as well.

[@dinodinops9773]

Amen! Kudos to you for really listening and understanding. So many reactors to this don’t. They say “oh mothers are all great and it’s such a nice song.” Makes me wanna scream. But you got it Brother. Thank you

[@morgansmmoaddiction6185]

For real! This is why I love Shon. I watch other reactors listen to this.. like.. as their Mother’s Day presentation and then they don’t get it and I just…. *headdesk.gif*

[@flubblert]

Perfect interpretation. That's Roger Waters asking the questions - the lyricist of the band who lost his father in World War ll. When you hear the emotion in his voice when he asks "mother will they put me in the firing line?" you better believe it comes from the heart. Great reaction. 👍

[@srincident]

I like you. Thanks for being real. Thanks for being engaged with the music you're discovering and breaking down. It's fun rediscovering something watching your vids, or discovering something I missed.

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

Shon!! You are just going to love the whole idea behind this album and the movie! It's different from anything you have heard before and it's worth diving into. It will influence the way you look at yourself and the world.

[@blathersmcready]

This whole album is a single story from the first track to the last. This has always been one of my favorite tracks, but it hits 1000% harder in the context in the album. There's also a movie that goes along with the album. It's worth a watch, but you should definitely just listen to the whole thing first. Now, for the 100th time let's get some King Crimson on the channel 😂😂 (please)

[@jeffreyedwards1811]

This group is one of my all time favs. If uour having a bad day put a n album on and chill. US AND THEM IS jaw dropping.

[@ronniestobbart4759]

The movie Pink Floyd The Wall is a must see. The visual and musical representation of the album is outstanding.

[@AndICanTalk2]

I could not agree more with the people saying you should react to the album either track by track in order, or as a whole. You will love the deep lyrics and I am sure you will enjoy the music. Also, I really appreciate that you are really willing to think about the lyrics to a song.

[@connieleighton4375]

PLEASE PLEASE listen to the whole album in one shot double album four sides and when your done your mind will be blown ~ then repeat every so often for the next 43 years lol. Great reaction

Shon...you are one of the sharpest reactors with lyrics! A lot miss what you hear--bravo!

[@robbob5302]

There is a movie named Pink Floyd The Wall. Where they made one long giant (and extremely trippy) music video for this entire album. Highly experimental, many consider it a cult classic.

[@davidsibley7329]

Great reaction. You get it! I will echo other comments. You REALLY need to listen to the entire album. It tells a story from start to finish in a way that’s difficult to get when listening to individual tracks out of order. I really enjoy your channel. Keep it up!

[@brentabbott3954]

One of the best guitar solos of all time, it fits the song perfectly

[@snapdragon8888]

So many reactors comment on how "cute" this song is. They have no clue how dark it really is.

[@Rob-ou1py]

Dunno how many times a large group of us would smoke a great deal of that illicit weed then pile in our respective cars and go see the shitty '80s "laser show" to "The Wall" snow, rain, sunshine, so many times.that was one hell on an album and one hell of an era to grow up in. Floyd, an emotional journey guaranteed, no matter which symphonic song you choose. They are all gold and they are ROCK GODS! Heres to hoping you listen to the whole album. I remember my choir teacher even made a special effort to allow us to learn and sng "We Don't Need No Education" for an assembly when it first came out, we really figured she was a little bit of a safer haven when we needed to turn somewhere in tough times, she showed us she really gave a shit, she was there because she wanted to be and we mattered, sounds corny, but it was really cool when you were 12. Obviously the dope smokin' came a few years later. So glad, as so many others have said, that you actually got the real meaning of it, a smothering, mindl-warping, controlling Mother. Enjoy your Floyd experience.

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Yep you've got it. This Mother is not a healthy influence on her young son. The beautiful melody puts many listeners to sleep. If you want more of that guitar, listen to the 1980 live version!

[@steves9905]

an album that must be listened to in entirety, before listening to the songs in isolation. transforming. i was never the same after this when it was released.

[@JimFlickinger]

I'm constantly appreciative of how you understand and get lyrics of so many songs..... before the song is over. Keep reactions going!!!!

[@steveullrich7737]

Shon, you have a very good memory. Pink Floyd guitarist and songwriter, Roger Water's father was killed in WWII when he was 5 months old and his body was never found. This loss affected him a lot growing up.

[@flyonthewindshield3653]

"Mother did it need to be so high?" Referring to the wall he built around to shelter himself.

I always took it to mean keeping the world out away from himself.

[@flyonthewindshield3653]

@@lynnhoffman247 We are saying the same thing, "of course mama's gonna help build the wall" She along with other forces in his life created a reality that he felt needed a "wall" to protect himself from.

[@edjeff1]

"Hey You" should be your next song

[@Yamaharley]

Excellent reaction brother. Dig deep into Floyd when time allows. One love.

[@Rassskle]

The Wall is a brilliant piece of music and a True history of Rogers life up until he wrote the lyrics. Forget the fictional character Pink......this is Rogers autobiography set to music. Yes......his mother suffocated him with love and fear. He was only 5 months old when he lost his father at Anzio, in Italy. And post war England treated war widows and their children like unwanted vermin. The depiction of his school days is very accurate.......but without the meat ( child) mincer. lol

[@jonhenke1504]

The gist of the song is the boy's father was killed in world War II when he was only 6 months old. So now he's being raised by a single mother who is being overprotective mostly because of the situation! She won't let you fly but she might let you sing! That along with putting her fears into the child shows why she's overprotective! And the very last line "why did it have to be so high"? He's talking about the metaphorical wall he built around himself because of being raised by an overprotective mother!!

[@showtime4243]

David Gilmore was so awesome at setting the mood with his guitar solos…like no one else !!

[@charliecochran3035]

If you didnt realize, this is part of if the same story as Comfortably numb. This is early on and it goes chronologically as the biy ages into a rock star. Comfortably numb is really the last song if rhe story for me, on side four.

Shon... You need an Ad Block so you don't have more interruptions due to publicity. ". Have you notice the changing time signatures in the song? It's not the typical 4/4 and uses 4/4, 6/8, 5/8 and 8/8, CRAZY!

[@philshorten3221]

The Wall is a whole other thing. But I would suggest going back a bit Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972 No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods. Definitely PART 1 only, and have the lyrics to hand.

[@williamjones6031]

You need to check out the entire Movie, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" to get the entire concept of the story. In 2019 I went to watch the Lazer Show at Harrah's Lake Tahoe Showroom and they didn't play this. We were so bummed. 😭 Happy belated 4/20😁😎

[@marshallmcculloch6774]

Ps, David Gilmour is the greatest guitarist on the planet by the proverbial mile. You've heard nothing yet.

[@marshallmcculloch6774]

Shon, trust me, I've been brought up with Pink Floyd and you really need to watch the Pulse concert. You don't know what you are missing

[@marshallmcculloch6774]

Hi Shon. If you think that is good, you really, really, really need to listen to the uncut version on Comfortably Numb at the Pulse concert from 1994. It will utterly blow your mind. Their concerts are like nobody else. They are incredible. Ànother song you really need to listen too is On the Turning Away from Pink Floyd's Delicate Sound of Thunder concert from 1988. The solos in both songs are definitely the best guitar solos you will ever hear in your life. I promise you

[@shadow1674]

Can you please do Andy Williams or Roy Clark

[@AndICanTalk2]

Yes yes I would agree. I think Roy Clark - Malaguena (the one from the Odd Couple show is I think the cleanest sounding version), is a must listen for Shon. Andy Williams is amazing as well, but I am not sure what I would specifically suggest as a top notch example.

[@LesSmith45]

Bro! I really like your reactions! You get the meaning of most of these songs! VERY FEW reactors get the meaning that Mother is over protective! Bro I promise if you watched the movie you will get a totally different concept of this album! It is the greatest concept album ever made! You might have to watch the movie a couple times though. It’s outstanding!

It is difficult for most people to get the metaphor of the wall with just this one song, as those who have commented before me have stated. The entire album is the story. You got real close though in this video and props for that.
