You need to watch the movie and/or the whole album to understand the context. The Wall was a journey of "Pink's" descent into a psychological/mental breakdown. Our childhood traumas and life experiences will shape our lives for better or worse.

[@enbi1352]

Bart. I was about to write them about the movie but reading your comment I have to say there is no better explanation than the one you just gave.

[@squaaaaak3178]

You are right, none of the songs for the wall can be taken at face value, individually. Roger Waters has created a multifaceted work, with layers of meaning. Stoners shouting out "we don't need no education" and screaming no! when they hear "should I trust the government", Make me have a lot of sympathy with Roger quitting the band. lol.

[@thekurgan3688]

@@squaaaaak3178 mother is about a young boy and the metaphorical “wall” that his over protective mother builds around him.

[@invaderace777]

Anytime Waters and Gilmour shared vocal duties the song is magical.

[@squaaaaak3178]

the live version from 1980 or 81 that's available on KZbin is way better than the studio. not only is the guitar solo longer, but the singing is amazing especially from Roger, somewhat unexpectedly.

[@lostdogie]

sadly, they hate each other to this day and can't stand to be in the same room together

[@harlanginsberg7269]

This song is part of ta concept album called The Wall. The set up is a young kid has his father shot down during WW II when he was an infant. The schools his mother and society in general combine to cause him to build a wall around himself to protect himself. He becomes a rock star and many weird things happen from there. The album includes Comfortably Numb and Hey You which you guys have heard already.

[@harlanginsberg7269]

Oh btw it sounds negative this is actually a great album but more on the heavyish side. A very dark album

[@carlitosd.9699]

… the last line “did it need to be so high” is regarding the height of the wall she started building around him … this also needs to be seen from the viewpoint of a kid growing up in post WW2 Britain (both as Roger Waters and the central character of ‘the Wall”) , with so many Fathers dead as they went to off to war, and Mothers having to raise their kids in a post war world in their own, ‘overprotection’ or total neglect, seemed almost inevitable.

[@logantawhiti55]

One of Pink Floyd's most underrated songs, I believe this is a song about society and the lies we tell our selves to protect our children and the social constraints and the wall is what we think it is, the wall could be the mother ,it could be society, it could be the government/motherland.

[@heliotropezzz333]

The lyricist, Roger Waters, lost his father in WW2 at a young age. He could have felt overprotectiveness of his mother though he has said that it wasn't precisely based on his own mother.

[@wizardoflolz5626]

I have the same feeling that this is bigger than just a family relationship.

[@CarazyDiamond]

This Pink Floyd song is long time coming. Wow! Wow!! However, for you guys Pink Floyd/ Roger Waters albums are concept and stitched together. So unlike other artists and their songs which could be about any thing, Pink Floyd / Roger Waters each song is a movement building up to the crescendo and the story telling in the most impactful manner. +Vinand Sori you guys are good 👍🏆

[@justintime41776]

This song is a masterpiece.

[@coyote4237]

I always like how Sori gets into Pink Floyd.

[@danielbullock1019]

Roger Waters sings the "son" verses, in 4/4 time, and David Gilmore sings the "mother" verses as it switches to 3/4 time. This is one of my favorite of Pink Floyd's many great songs. Thanks for this!

[@bettastudios7078]

3/4 is more a waltz thing. The time signature is more 6/4 or 6/8.

I believe the Gilmour solo had to be shortened to get it in the album. There’s a live version of this on KZbin from 1980 where it has the full solo. We’ll worth a watch. It’s brilliant.

[@mranonymoUs23384]

You need to watch the full movie to understand the whole context of the song.

[@patrickquinlan67]

I never used to like this song but then I never liked the Wall despite being a devotee of their music since 1967. A while back I watched another reactor and her response. She clearly didn't listen closely to the lyrics and got offended when it was pointed out that this is not a positive song about mothers. Anyway, after watching a few reactors do this song I have grown to like it. You guys were paying attention and got it immediately. Great reaction!

I watch a lot of reaction channels and I wish they’d figure out Pink Floyd should be done as full album reactions, not as single songs.

[@Mvader7]

@@deeperanddown This channel already did a full album reaction to Dark Side of the Room so of course it can be done. Also, I didn’t say it needed to be one video. You can certainly do a full album reaction and split it into a series of videos, per track listing. PF songs don’t necessarily make sense upon first listening, especially when they are part of a concept album. Many artists were/ are against online platforms because they prefer their art to be listened to as a whole work, in the order they intended.

[@mojoi_iv_v7_i975]

Roger Waters father was killed at the battle of Anzio during WWII. Growing up without a father impacted every aspect of his life and influenced a lot of his song writing including pretty much all of 'The Wall' and a good amount of 'The Final cut'.

[@jimc3786]

The Final Cut is one of my absolute favorite songs. . .

[@trevorholden7423]

A few years ago Roger Waters had this to say about the song 'Mother' - “I grew up with a single parent who could never hear anything I said,” Waters shared of his Mary, “because nothing I said could possibly be as important as what she believed. My mother was, to some extent, a wall herself that I was banging my head against. She lived her life in the service of others. She was a school teacher. But it wasn’t until I was 45, 50 years old that I realized how impossible it was for her to listen to me.”

[@sumonjamal1653]

I was raised to love and respect my father and mother... but it's impossible for me to do that when my (late) father was apathetic and abandoned his 3 children from a previous marriage and lied to me for decades... My parents sent me to a school where I was verbally and physically abused for over 5 years... my illness that is crippling me today was left untreated and undiagnosed while I was in their home and suffering from it. And my mom is still under the impression that "God" will make everything alright while she does nothing but pray & ask for better... Some people should NOT be parents. Ever. My parents are the prime example... and I've seen worse out there. Motherhood can be a blessing or a curse... if done right, it is rewarding. If done wrong, it will be damnation.

[@stevewalsh4850]

The wall the mother built around her son was to high and too confining, she was overly protective of her son having to raise him alone, without his dad, her husband who was killed in the war

[@atheist101]

Saddest part of the movie for me is when he's trying to get the other kids dad to swing him. When he starts tugging on the guys sleeve it makes me tear up every time

The last line he's asking his mother , did the wall need to be wall need to be so high ? This is the reason you need to watch the movie " Pink Floyd The Wall " movie to understand it. And Gilmore & Waters share vocals. All Pink Floyd albums are great , but my top 5 albums from them " ANIMALS " is one of those 5.

[@Azimuth47]

Pink’s father dies in WW2, leaving Pink and his over-protective “Mother”. She fears she will lose her son to someone else and smothers him. Pink as a young man seeks validation from his Mother, she knows everything and controls everything. Pinks’ fears stem from his Mothers insecurities. This is repeated through “the wall” album.

[@damienfallon8980]

The movie has different meanings but a main theme is how our prejudices are built in childhood. Also an overarching theme is the threat of fascism in our society represented by the Hammer symbol. I see this happening in America today except the Hammer is now the Red Hat. I think it was Sinclair Lewis that said "when fascism comes to America it will not be in a military uniform goose-stepping but it will come waiving the American Flag and holding a bible"

[@billrehberg9271]

[@tommack9395]

I'd say that Daniel's guitar teacher has good taste in solos, while not a complex solo, with few words - short yet brisk - said it's like a rebellious call an response which relents in the end. Yes the song is about an over-bearing mother... in fact the album kind of is centered in that aspect as the first song - when Pink is born - we can see what's in store, and almost predict the following tracks. The irony in the end - and many people miss this, is when the Wall is torn down at the end of the album in "Outside the Wall" - is Pink is still a childlike. I do not think Waters intended that but is what appears.

[@capetowntrikeman]

His smothering mother was but one of the bricks in Pink's wall.

Roger Waters is a brilliant lyricist. Roger got the rights to the "wall" after leaving the Floyd. P.F after can only play 5 songs from the "wall".

[@markwinstanley9901]

The Wall is a semi-autobiographical album/movie/concert based around Roger Waters. Waters father died in the war. This concept covers his journey to some extent as a child without a father, and he holds the world to blame. The idea being that during the course of his life he has built a wall of protection around himself. It ends up becoming a prison. During the album we have glimpses of the faults with schooling systems, governmental systems, the euphoria of being a rockstar move onto being the decline of being a rockstar. Drug issues, relationship issues, groupie issues. It climaxes in an trial, which is a sort of internal dialogue that tears it all apart. It has many textual and sub textual messages. Not sure if it's possible, but it would make a great reaction as an album.... or even the movie. They are actually quite different to each other.

[@jimangela4589]

You have to understand that the song occurs in the mind of the main character Pink. It is his twisted interpretation of his mother and a justification to close himself off from the world. He has made his mother one of the bricks of his wall. The other songs in the first half of the album are also bricks. He is what we would call an unreliable narrator.

[@atheist101]

She helped him build it, the last words hit hard "Mother did it need to be so high".

[@jimangela4589]

@@atheist101 The point of the album and the other Floyd albums from Roger Waters perspective isn't that we suffer at the hands of others. That is a universal plight of us all. It is how we handle the adversity; the slings and arrows of daily life. We don't withdraw from society. One meets the daily challenges of life and overcomes them. The album is telling us, don't be this guy. Sure, mothers are protective and fear for what might happen to their children. Mothers can tell their children about the bad things out in the world and the dangers that can befall them. That is not a reason to sequester oneself under their bed or in their room. Rather, take it as sage advice to be better armed.

[@sumonjamal1653]

I've said it before... 'The Wall' by Pink Floyd is one of the most lyrically effed up records of all time to sell over 10 million copies in the US. The concept of 'The Wall' was isolation, desolation & disconnect w/ the outside world, from the point of Floyd bassist/ vocalist Roger Waters in 1978/ '79. It is another instance where fame & fortune are not enough to solve the problems that afflict a personality... In 1978, Pink Floyd was on top of the world in popularity - their records were selling millions of copies... their concerts were sold out arenas and stadiums... their bank accounts were brimming w/ $$$... But the band was falling apart as a musical entity. Keyboardist/ vocalist Rick Wright was abusing drugs and was on the verge of being fired... Roger Waters and guitarist/ vocalist David Gilmour were musically at odds and not getting along. During the Floyd tour for the 'Animals' album, Waters demanded the audience be quiet and berated them for making noise... At 1 show, a fan climbed the barricade, and Waters assaulted him; Gilmour was furious and refused to go back on stage for an encore. At the end of the tour, Roger Waters suggested he would write an autobiographical album which became 'The Wall' (David Gilmour co-produced it, but grumbled that it lacked soul and Waters would present songs w/ no input from him... Rick Wright had almost nothing to do w/ the record). Looking back at himself in 1979/ '80, Roger Waters today admitted that he was pretty messed up during that period - 'the wall' kept him isolated from reality and made him unreasonable and unappreciative. Pink Floyd played only a select few shows for 'The Wall' and had a stage show w/ a giant wall assembled on stage and Floyd would play from behind the wall before it fell in the ending finale. In 2010 - 2013, Roger Waters toured worldwide to replicate and perform the entire album w/ 'The Wall' being put up on stage w/ his solo band. A DVD of a concert is available.
