FIRST TIME listening to PINK FLOYD - "Mother" REACTION

Heart react this comment if I should react to the whole "The Wall" album

What you have to understand about this album is that "The Wall" is a metaphorical wall around his heart to keep people and things out so he doesn't get hurt. This abum is about building that wall with various things that hurt him over the years like an overbearing mother, a terrible school system, the fear of going to war, etc. You definitely need to listen to this album from start to finish.

ONE DOESN'T MERELY LISTEN TO PINK FLOYD, ONE EXPERIENCES THEM.

The Wall is a ROCK OPERA. They even turned it into a MOVIE. You must listen to The Wall in track order. ✌️

The song is about an overprotective mother and the damage she did to him. She taught him how to start building the Wall to close himself off from anything that might hurt him. The character, Pink, does that over the course of his life and is the theme behind the whole album. The musical tone and the contrast of the lyrics represent his mixed perception of his mother.

This should be a full album reaction from beginning to end. You’ll appreciate it so much more 💜 Oh… Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a sensational song you should hear.

pink is the main character in this story. his dad was a pilot who died in world war 2 so mother had to raise him on her own hense the overprotection, of course mothers gonna help build the wall to keep all things bad away from her only child . find the time to sit quietly and listen to this amazing piece of art. you will not be disappointed 😊

Roger is part of a generation and a victim of WW2 where many fathers were sent off to war and never returned. His father was killed in Italy and his remains were not recovered. The song reflects Rogers view of his relationship with his mother. You get a much better sense of this in a later documentary that Roger did where he travels the route that led to where his father died in battle. Also Roger lost his grandfather as a result of WW1.

I bought this double album masterpiece in 1980 when I was 18 years old. It is basically a story from start to finish. Therefore, when someone not familiair with the content or meaning of The Wall listens to a single song somewhere in the middle it seems totally bizarre. A few of the songs from The Wall became big hits like Comfortably Numb, Hey You, and Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) Since there are actually three versions with the same name in the Albums. I remember back in 1980 when the single Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) was moving up the charts in the US and other countries, I heard on the radio that England (where Pink Floyd is actually from) was trying to ban the song from the radio there because it had improper grammar that 23 school children sang just for the song without permission from the school. The school music teacher on his own brought the 23 school children to the studio and within half an hour Pink Floyd had their rebellious children singing, " We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Teacher leave them kids alone. "

You obviously got that The Wall is metaphorical for this dude finding his way in the world, dealing with loss, resentment, an overbearing mother, among other themes all explored in different ways on the album. With that said, there is definitely a political undercurrent running throughout the album. War, Fascism, on a literal sense the Berlin Wall (where Roger Waters performed this live after it came down). So you can’t entirely separate the metaphors with some of the literal symbolism. An amazing album to listen to all the way through, with each song telling a piece of the larger story

Mother is part of the story that the the wall album tells. U really need to listen to the whole album with your headphones and enjoy. It is a very dark album

Ive always held that David Gilmour does more with one note than most other guitarist can do with a fleet of guitars.

There isn't just one Pink Floyd song that puts me in a most relaxed state. There's several, such as Mother, The Great Gig in the Sky, Echoes, Fearless, San Tropez, Us and Them, Goodbye Blue Sky, Comfortably Numb, Don't Leave Me Now, The Thin Ice, Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - IX), Pigs on the Wing (Part One and Part Two) ...

His overprotective mother is just another brick in the metaphoric wall that contributed to have him socially isolated. The songs of the first half of the album are just pointing what contributed to that wall. The second half is his journey trying to get free of it. And one song you I really think you will love musically, feeling and lyrics is High Hopes. Nightwish even covered it :) High hope is part of their last true album, The Division Bell. All the songs have the same theme, communication. Lyrics hit hard.

Most relaxed is also tied with most melancholy for me. Pink Floyd was one of my older brother's favorite bands, and definitely my favorite. He passed when he was 25 and I was 18, in 1982. The song is "Wish you were here".

Hearing a single song does THE WALL, no justice. WATCH THE MOVIE!!!! You will have no questions... only thoughts

This album is considered as one of the best concept albums ever made!! its a full album expreience, linking it all gives the best experience..

The album is a requiem to the post WW2 era. The wall represents barriers between all facets of life. The particular song “Mother” is a microcosm of how everyone can build walls metaphorically or literally. At the end the child asks, [why did it have to be so…high?] Walls a good when used properly

Over protective mother is just another brick in the wall he built between him and the world.

"Mother" is the part of the story explaining how even his own mother contributed to his emotional damage. "The Wall" is an emotional wall between himself and reality.
