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.

Yeh would definetly recommend watching the film, also listening to Echoes, Careful with that axe Eugene, Astronomy Domine, Set The controls for the heart of the sun, Arnold Layne, See Emily play, Remember a Day, Interstellar Overdrive.. there is just so many of the older pre Dark Side of the Moon stuff that is just such an experience to listen to.

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

[@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

[@daniellabra4186]

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

[@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.

[@ROBERT-xx7ui]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today??

[@johnpublicprofile6261]

Nope, you have to WATCH the whole "Wall" album 8-)

[@whataboutme7174]

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.

Afterwards i played the whole song for the class. After class kids that had never spoken to me before let alone knew that i even existed, asked me for more information about pink floyd and wanted to hang with me and hear more. Proof that music builds bridges where none existed before.

[@GradyBroyles]

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. For full effect, they should be heard in their entirety preferably with KILLER headphones. Also The Wall, the film is a MASTERPIECE of both music and cinema.

Definitely one of their most well known songs, and you *REALLY* need to sit down & watch the full film. "The Wall" is one of those movies that you simply must see because of its cultural relevance.

[@JayOwinFull]

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.

[@CuttinEJ]

[@AndICanTalk2]

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.

To be honest that could be said of all rock opera films,but you have a point

[@twenty3enigma]

One of the most intense movies EVER made -- and thoroughly worth seeing.

[@paulbarlow9981]

I seem to recall the actual music video was animated, with marching hammers, right?

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

Mushrooms in an Omnimax theatre, Toronto 1988.

[@twoheart7813]

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

[@Blueeyedramblings]

I love how Amber just always gets Pink Floyd so easily. You should check out Pink Floyd - Keep Talking. Such an amazing song

[@pixieangel4261]

Totally listen to Keep Talking! Also Learning to Fly. And Hey You-- that's my favorite song from The Wall album

[@christopherrmcarter1809]

My daughter, born in 1975 loved this song as she had just started school when this was released in South Africa in early 1980 I think. Marching up and down the street with her school buddies singing the ' Teacher, leave the kids alone' part at the top of their voices. I got the notion she was not fond of teachers. Great Song.

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.

[@mgmeiaeventpromoter8426]

Back in 1979 when this song went out on radios and Tv becomes a anthem in U.K. and makes the flash news in all TV News in all Europe because the british student went on strike! The Power of a song!

[@agunslinger9349]

Yep. You need to watch this awesome movie to understand how each song plays into the main character's life story, from a little troubled youth, parents, becoming a rock star, drugs, slipping into mental health issues, to emerging outside The Wall. Probably the best marriage of an amazing story tied to a theme album.

[@carltonbakerii8274]

Took me back to my high school days when this album was first released. This is such an amazing song and it's just as poignant today as it was then. Sad to say.

[@theodoreritola7641]

That would be in Dec 1979 Its 70s BAAAABY LOL

[@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. 😉👍🏽✌🏽

[@MrC63777]

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

[@paulmargett9360]

"Shine on you Crazy Diamond" is a must listen. It's long but totally worth it. Amber will be transported to another place. Trust me. From a fellow Floyd fan. Much love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@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.

[@kman007111]

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

[@adamplace1414]

This was *the song* that broadened my musical horizons my first year in college. I always had (have still?) a deep distrust of educational institutions, and this hit home. I can also guarantee that, if I'd discovered it a year earlier, I'd have found a way to play it over the PA system in my high school..

[@cdfdesantis699]

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

[@son_of_nemesis8957]

Just your closed eyes just grooving to the guitar solo. Pink Floyd has my favorite solos due to the vibe of them with my favorite solo being from comfortably numb. The solos are not the fastest or hardest but they are the best. And they make you feel a certain way.

[@flamarlamb]

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 !!!

[@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!

[@pagemeredith4532]

Pink Floyd is one of greatest bands of all time! 😍🤩

[@solomonkane6442]

Pink Floyd are THE greatest band of all time

[@Louisvillebilly]

Ambers take on this is spot on, exactly what this song is about . Love some Floyd !!

[@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.

[@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 ".

[@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 👍

[@firedoc5]

I was in 8th grade when this came out. Imagine a classroom full of students singing "Teacher, leave them kids alone". LOL

[@ambiecutler3263]

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

[@Marvintheballoonman]

I can't wait to see your reaction to their whole video. MASTERS not only of Sound but MASTERS of Visuals too . At a live concert they would Captive with Sound and Swallow you with Visuals.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@starwalker6002]

Pink Floyd keeps your vibes and frequencies high!

[@curlew-3592]

I remember going to see Pink Floyd at Earl’s Court in London in the early 70’s. I’m nearly 70 now! Where has that time gone 😱🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

[@nomchompsky2883]

I so love how Amber allows herself to lose herself in her head when listening to meaningful lyrics and the feeling the music is portraying.

[@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.

[@DannieLovesHenry]

This was the anthem..hooked immediately

[@chris882211]

I seen the original concert in 1980.. It was like people saying they went to woodstock... here i am 15.. we were in line to go in... people were offering us 300 to buy our tickets.. that was ALOT of money back then.. we held tight to our tickets waiting in line to see them at the Nassau coliseum in 1980 in NY. Only played in 4 places in the entire world to see this concert . This was .. and will always be the greatest thing i have ever seen and been to over 50 concerts in my life time.. Besides being prevlieged enough to see Queen back in the day

[@BdeMontarville]

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.

[@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.

[@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😊

[@Sofa_on_fire]

There’s a video and she still closes her eyes and vibes, and feels it! I love her ! I could watch her react to music all day !!

[@JeansDolls]

It’s like the 1960’s educational system..

[@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.

[@jackywalsh6203]

This song is so appropriate for right now ,and what the woke are trying to drum into kids.

[@DingusMcGillicutty007]

I was 17 when this came out. Really hope your generation has music future generations can enjoy.

[@guitarschronos4937]

Pink Floyd are timeless

Pink Floyd The Wall changed my life at the age of 16. I'm 50 now and still listen to it!!!

[@davidhuggan6315]

I was 5 years old and my school played this song in the dinner hall (lunch room). We kids were fascinated by it.
