This is from the film, The Wall, which is fantastic. I would highly recommend viewing it. The poem the young boy is writing in this video is actually the lyrics to their song Money. Check it out if you haven’t already.

My daughter was 8 years old at primary school. When her friend was accused of doing something wrong she new that he was innocent. She tried to tell her teacher. But to no avail. When on a Friday when she was picked for good work and behaviour. She was allowed to pick a song. Guess what she picked. I was very proud of her. And I still am.

Facts

[@daniellabra4186]

You have no idea how that song defined a entire generation...

[@samaduampoma2449]

Dear All: This is a great reaction. However, let me give you some context, as to what it is really about as I lived it, and this song is about my generation. I am 57 and live in LA. However, I grew up in England and was 14 in 1979 when this was released. Roger Waters (band member) was trying to address and bring attention to the rigid curriculum and abusive schoolteachers in English high schools (at the time), especially in boarding schools. Yes, I attended boarding school. So I know all about abusive schoolteachers. This song was my generations "anthem", and the adults (at the time) kept arguing about whether Roger Waters was just full of shit (because he was a young rock star), or whether he really was pointing at something important that had to be addressed in British high schools. Many parents who had kids in high school (like me) were very divided about this, and argued constantly. It also had some political implications in 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became prime minister. At the time James Callaghan (the then prime minister before the 1979 election), got into a verbal spat with the members of Pink Floyd. Prime minister Callaghan argued that his government was doing the right thing regarding high schools in England. Many parents disagreed, and gave him hell for it. Margaret Thatcher also commented on the campaign trail that the current Callaghan government were not doing enough to improve the kids education, and if elected she would change things (which she did actually when she won, and we moved into the 80s, under her leadership). It is widely acknowledged that this song was "partly" responsible for Margaret Thatcher's victory as prime minister in 1979, due to Pink Floyd raising the British consciousness on this issue at the time. In closing, I hope this gives you the context and influence this song had on British politics at the time in 1979, and also on the education of my generation (me the 14 year old). Thanks for reading. Enjoy! Cheers, Sam.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Brilliant comment. 😃

[@mendodsoregonbackroads6632]

I remember watching the film my first year in High School at the Mendocino Community School in Northern California back in 1983. I cant describe what that was like to you, but it wasn’t like other schools. I guess you had to be there. Definitely hippie influences. Anyway the movie was shown in the main room one morning in it’s entirety. I think we smoked a bowl during intermission. It was a trip and so unlike what my high school experience was like. This was also at a time when schools were installing metal detectors on the east coast to check for weapons. I used to think about some of these far away boarding and public schools and was so glad I didn’t go to those.

[@chrisbisho9785]

I was born in the Midlands of the UK . I'm 62 and came to the US as a teenager . The difference in schools was a culture shock to be sure . UK schools at the time were strict and very structured and there was no doubt in your mind what you were there for . School in the US was a joke by comparison to the near medieval attitude of the UK school system .

[@samaduampoma2449]

@@chrisbisho9785 Chris, this is Sam. You are correct to note the difference in schools was a "culture shock to be sure". I just remember all the adults around me (my parents and their friends) constantly arguing as to whether the education their children were getting needed a total overhaul. I also remember (vividly - on TV), many politicians/parents saying that outspoken band member David Gilmour was full of shit (pardon my French! LoL!). So there you have it. Great to hear from someone like you who was actually there, and lived at least some of it. Cheers, Sam.

[@nathankerr7830]

Younger than both you guys (born in 79) but I grew up listening to pink Floyd and was a part of Thatcher's youth who was given free milk in the morning, this song is the nucleus for me

[@SoundlabStudios63]

You have to hear the whole “The Wall” album. It tells a story, and this song is just a snippet of that bigger story. The album is about a Rock Star who builds a metaphorical “wall” around himself made of “bricks” which are the stressful things he goes through in life, such as his abusive teachers in this song. I won’t spoil the ending, but I must say, the best way to experience Pink Floyd is by listening to the whole album.

About the end, the talking cuts off mid sentence, the rest of that sentence can be found at the very beggining of the album. There is also a hidden message sonewhere on the album when played in reverse

[@SoundlabStudios63]

I think the message is on the song Empty Spaces. Apparently it caused a panic back in the day and people thought it had messages to the devil in it, but when you played it backwards, all it said was, “Congratulations, you have found the hidden message. Mr Pink thanks you” or something like that

"The Wall" represents the bits of our lives, which we use to close ourselves off to potential harm, within the movie, some of "Pinks" bricks, come from growing up during ww2, loosing his father, an overprotective mother, predatory mentors, harmful relationships etc, within this part of the album he's describing his education as another set of bricks, he's used to shield himself in adulthood, albin all it was all just another brick in the wall, the video, is the boys daydream after being hit by the teacher, the poem he reads are the lyrics to the song, Money you guys reacted to not long ago.

The video is from the film, The Wall, which is pretty much the album on film. It tells the story if a child born during WWII, growing up fatherless, building a wall around himself with the help of his environment. An absolute masterpiece.

This is like a very short movie edited version of the song and really takes more away from the song than it does let you ever see how really good the actual song is.

Agree. I liked the video in and of itself, but this was my first time ever seeing it. I've heard this song hundreds of times over the decades, and a big chunk of the song seemed to be missing. Also, the pacing was different in parts because it was being shoehorned into the video. I'd recommend anyone new to it listen to the single version, which honestly still comes on the radio from time to time.

I'm sure you've heard it 1000x before but Pink Floyd is a bit of a "concept album" band. The Wall and Dark Side are complete musical pieces. Not unlike a symphony with multiple parts.

I agree 100%. Please 🙏 watch! The film 🎥 is essentially one long music video and a master class on creativity. It is truly a cultural master piece.

[@CuttinEJ]

The poem was the lyrics from Money. The second verse was performed by the Vienna Boys Choir. I wish they hadn’t covered up the guitar solo with the noise of the rebellion. It’s truly another masterpiece by David Gilmore. You can hear it perfectly on the album version. Pink Floyd is one of a few bands that are genuinely unique in that you instantly know that you’re listening to them, but not because what you’re listening to now sounds anything like what you’ve heard before. Gotta love Pink Floyd!

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Same. If you know the song and/or movie already, it's not so bad to have parts of the movie audio playing over the instruments and whatnot but, when someone is reacting to the song for the first time, it's unfortunate that the movie audio overruns so much of the PF goodness.

[@rjjcms1]

There was a big demonstration by secondary age schoolchildren in London in the summer of 1972 with a rally of some kind in Hyde Park. Disgruntled pupils walked out of their schools to come from far and wide to brave an outbreak of rain and the inevitable consequences. Being only 7 at the time,I was completely unaware of this until seeing an item about it on a BBC2 series called The Rock 'n' Roll Years that aired around the end of the 80s and start of the 90s and took a nostalgic trip back to the music,news and events of a particular year from the arrival of rock 'n' roll on this side of the pond onwards. I seem to remember it being prersented or voiced by the late Magenta de Vine,who also fronted a programme called Reportage around the same time. And what was number 1 at the end of the school year shortly after that demonstration? Of course,it had to be School's Out For Summer by Alice Cooper.

I know a lot of other people have said this already, even without having read the comments yet, but this album is filled with symbolism. At some point you all should watch the movie, and do the album from beginning to end. It is an incredible movie, but it is a rollercoaster, and doesn't leave you necessarily filled with hope. It is a masterpiece. Even if you don't react to it, at some point do yourself a favor and watch it. Definitely rated R. It has some hard subject matter, but it is an important work. I would even suggest you start the album with the first song and listen in order if nothing else as you will get a good feel for it. If I were to give you the perfect follow up to this song it is Mother. Amber I am glad you saw the terrible parts of the song, as they are an important part of the message.

Probably the best marriage of an amazing story tied to a theme album.

[@twoheart7813]

I remember driving to Chicago to get this album when it first came out. Played the heck out of it for friends & family.

[@timlane5445]

She is right this album is great close you eyes and listen

[@cindysimpson1046]

OMG, we used to sing this IN school! Pink Floyd is almost a genre of their own.

[@fosterck13]

I watched this movie in the theater back in the day. It really messed with my head. I've grown to really love their music but I still can't handle the movie.

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

Good call! The movie is good I thought, although it a mental trip.

[@centuryrox]

@@FirstSuiGeneris The movie has always been best viewed under the influence of the intoxicant of your choice. Much like Zeppelin's "The Song Remains the Same" and The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine".

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

@@centuryrox so true!

Going to elementary school in the early 80's our bus driver had a boom box on the bus and would play rock music load and we would sing along in the morning and he would make sure this song would play as our bus would pull up to the school and it was an awesome memory all these kids singing at the top of our lungs 🎶HAY! TEACHER! LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!!!🎶 .... unfortunately about 2 years into being our bus driver some parents complained and made him stop playing music on the bus and soon after he left.😑

Videos always detract from being able to properly experience Pink Floyd’s music. It is always best listened to without visual distractions.

[@gail11]

Except, of course, Laser Floyd. 😀

[@henry1395]

Indeed....video killed the radio star !!!

[@prairiescion1614]

Thank you Amber for finally putting a totally correct word to the experience of listening to Pink Floyd, "Headspace". In the PF albums before the advent of video with MTV in 1981, the PROPER way to listen to PF was melted into a beanbag on the floor with a set of high-end headphones on your ears. You only opened your eyes when it was time to get up and flip the vinyl over.

[@annwilson6606]

In the 70s, albums like this were called 'concept ' albums. From start to finish was one story, This is THIS boy's life story. What shaped him and HIS reaction to it. There was no such thing as individuality taught in class, just shut up, keep up and pass exams. The teacher was some old fashioned gig, there to knock off any corners that made you different .You need to hear the whole album straight through to get that.Turn it up loud, close your eyes, and hook onto the base guitar and let it carry you through the story. What a trip.

[@teresaboone7298]

The two of you are wonderful educators with open minds. You see the TRUE meanings behind music/lyrics. I would trust both of you wonderful people as educators to my children/grandchildren. Btw, LOVE ZEP and FLOYD reactions. Love ALL of your reactions, just Zep and Floyd most. 😉👍🏽✌🏽

[@kman007111]

Need to react to Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd still one of the best modern Pink!!

[@menacemiller5840]

Pink Floyd comfortably numb pulse ! Best solo ever

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

It's JUST occurred to me. This is as relevant now as it was in '79 when it was released. If not more so!

[@jamiemacdonald436]

The video is great, but I feel like it takes away from the music. The album version is better in my opinion. Great job as always guys! 👏👍

[@richardsteiner8992]

I agree. The flow is interrupted here.

[@chrismcdonagh688]

I'm not a Pink Floyd fan but love this one. I was 15 years old and still at school when this came out and it totally hit home with me and all my friends. It so perfectly represented how the education system seemed to be there just to funnel kids into the system, with teachers beating any creativity out of them when they should have been focussing on their strengths to give them the best possible chance in life. Only a select few would ever be allowed to go on to live their dreams.

[@rjjcms1]

Paring them down into little more than fodder for industry,unfortunately. And then that industry closed in the late 70s and 80s with little else doing in its place,consigning many of them to long spells on the dole and crushing any remaining vestiges of hope.

[@chrismcdonagh688]

@@rjjcms1 Yes I totally agree 👍

[@Jigsaw0g]

Pink Floyd just HITS. My dad introduced me as a kid, took me to multiple concerts, and I'm happy to say I finally was able to repay him a little by buying us tickets for Roger Waters in august!!

[@michaelknight2118]

This album The Wall, came out while I was in the Air Force. I had a room mate who played this album every day. I'm finally at a place I can hear this riff in a bit of different light. Love Floyd. Not everybody can do a concept album successfully, they did. Thanks again.

[@connieterrell9516]

This song brings back some cool memories. One is when I was in 9th grade, our school was very forward thinking teachers. A teacher was going to get fired for his teaching methods. We had a sit-in and played this song as well as a few others. Our teacher stayed there and actually taught when my son was in highschool.

[@monsterkhan3414]

You both need to react to the movie "Pink Floyd: The Wall" (1982). It's a theatrical movie made from Pink Floyd's album The Wall. If you want your mind blown away then definitely check out this movie!

[@echobeefpv8530]

As a " stand alone " song from "The Wall", I suggest " Mother " . But like a lot of Pink Floyd, you are meant to listen from start to finish. The Wall is my favorite album ever, I've listened to it many, many times. my all time favorite is "Goodbye Blue Sky ".

[@kathyhutchinson4394]

The album is a rock opera so listening to the whole thing will definitely add context for you. The movie The Wall is a musical drama based on the album and came out two years after the album. It will help with even more context. Love seeing you guys discover music that I've loved my whole life.

[@ambiecutler3263]

This is before MTV and its a great & well choreographed music video

[@dondee5439]

At the 2:17 mark, the poem that the boy was writing that the teacher ridiculed was to be the lyrics to the hit Pink Floyd song "MONEY". I love how the retort lyrics to the teachers are in bad grammar. For example: We don't need no education. ( A double negative.) Hey, teachers leave them (those) kids alone.

[@tonyfontinel272]

Strange but true--This was a huge hit in the discos! You should check out On the Turning Away from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Even though you've already done the album version of "Comfortably Numb," y'all REALLY need to react to Pink Floyd's live performance of it from Pulse. Not only is it awesome seeing Pink Floyd actually perform the song, you get the crazy, psychedelic light show AND perhaps the best guitar solo(s) ever recorded. The live version takes a great song and makes it even greater.

[@kimquinn-arcand7127]

Seen them in concert in 93' in Vancouver Bc Canada . The best Concert yet !!!

[@chrismaggio7879]

I'm like 163 years old and somehow I have never, in the literally thousands of times hearing this song, never seen the video! So awesome!

[@gengel6737]

Amber you must watch the movie The Wall and listen to the whole album in order. I understand this is based on Roger Waters like story. You won't be disappointed!

[@gazunkaatlarge6315]

yes the movie gives a context to every song on the album, until i saw the movie i was mistaken about more than a few songs on the album, i often replay it in my head when i hear a song on the radio

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

It's an amalgamation of Roger Waters childhood and former lead singer Sid Barrett's decent into drug fueled madness, mashed together and fictionalized into the character of Pink. Roger was also feeling a bit beaten down by and disconnected from the audiences during the previous tour, and wanted to wall himself away from them. That gave him the motivation.

[@Caynnor]

This may be Pink Floyd's most popular song but I don't feel it is their best, of course they never did anything bad.

[@ancientknight9805]

I agree part 2 hits differently

[@oldmanghost219]

I hear you. I love it but Another Brick in the Wall is not the 1st song I go to. Like you said, quote, "they never did anything bad."

[@crawdaddy2004]

Did you listen to Umma Gumma?

[@skilz8098]

Pink Floyd is kind of like The Grateful Dead or Steve Miller or The Grassroots... try and show me a bad song...

[@stevenyoung1687]

I started listening to Floyd back in 72 when I was 13 yo

[@Benz74M]

My favorite band with Depeche Mode. Pink Floyd have 4 very different eras: early psychadelic with Syd Barrett as main singer, then the "experimentation" era (e.g. Atom Heart Mother, More soundtrack, Obscured by Clouds, Ummagumma, Meddle...) where the band was looking to define itself after the departure of Barrett; then came the commercial success, with a string of acclaimed albums (Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall), then, after Roger Waters' solo-ish album The Final Cut, started the David Gimour-led era with A Momentarily Lapse of Reason (87) and The Division Bell (1994). I would encourage you to do a reaction video for each era (E.g. High Hopes or Learning to Fly for the Gilmour era) and perhaps one song from each "acclaimed" album (1971-1979). Dogs or Pigs-- two great songs, long ones... -- from Animals sound quite different from songs on Dark Side or The Wall.

[@stevejordan795]

I was in 8th grade when this album came out..... imagine Jr high schoolers singing this in the halls of the school......... Rush's permanent waves came out the same year.... spirit of radio....

[@fourkero1216]

Guys very good description of the lyric ! Thanks from Chile

[@misplacedspirit6162]

Awesome channel guys... Love how well you decipher the message or meaning of songs so quickly. I highly recommend watching the movie "Pink Floyd the Wall" ....an absolute masterpiece.

[@patkelly8309]

I love your enthusiasm for Floyd!

[@guitarschronos4937]

Pink Floyd are timeless

[@Bent137]

I love that Amber picked up on the deeper meaning and message almost immediately. I've never seen the video or the movie but wow, this definitely illustrates it pretty blatantly.

[@logan4231]

This is my first vid of yours I’ve seen but watching her facial expressions was such a clear depiction of how I listen to this song lol

[@madamelebuff]

I love seeing you get excited to show your girl The Wall. Now you know how we feel watching a new generation enjoying great music that never ages. Thanks for the upload.

[@emmanuelgoldstein1918]

Pink Floyd laser show at the observatory was a very special way to listen/ see Pink Flyod.

[@anthonydinsdale8783]

There are people of my generation who used to know all the lyrics of all the song and in the right order of The Wall😊

[@PaulsWanderings]

My college roommates and I would put this CD on before we went to bed. This is a great album and the movie is nuts.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Really, one of their greatest songs. Thanks for your reaction.

[@atdeacon]

This song has my favorite guitar riff ever in it. While the guitar solo at the end is fantastic. The little hook between that first "Hey! teacher leave those kids alone!" and "All in all your just a.." That riff ALWAYS goes right though my heart!

[@pamelabeard7053]

I was so lucky enough to have grown up listening to this music. I love watching you guys react to the music I grew up with. Keep the music alive!

[@marymochrie3471]

I remember dancing to this at the school xmas disco when I was 17 - 1981 !

[@MrC63777]

Saw the wall live 1974 Wembley stadium. Absolutely fantastic. Tbh it was like listening to a cd. Perfect clarity.

[@robhorne6694]

Mom used to wake us up to this song every morning for at least a year. Where’s my cereal? Hahaha
