A little insight in to Roger Waters the writer of the Wall: 2nd Lt Eric Fletcher Waters "He was born in 1913 in Surrey, England. During World War II, he was an officer of the 8th Royal Fusiliers. He died in Anzio, Italy, during Operation Shingle or The Battle of Anzio; declared missing or presumed dead on February 18, 1944. He and his wife Mary had two sons, the younger being Roger Waters, cofounder, bassist and songwriter for the rock band Pink Floyd. Eric Waters died when son Roger was only five months old, but many of Roger Waters' albums and songs reference the evils of war and his father's death as a result of it. The 1983 Pink Floyd album 'The Final Cut' was written entirely by Roger Waters and dedicated to the father that he never knew." "And that's how the High Command took my daddy from me!" Pink Floyd: The Wall - When The Tigers Broke Free kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5NpprSEiqyXf9o.html

Jamel_AKA_Jamal is the best music reaction channel out there, imo.

When I was a kid and I discovered Pink Floyd, it saved my life. Suffering from depression most of my life, and having a hard abusive childhood left me full of rage and hurt. I listened to the wall almost every night of high school, it would take me away and allow me to understand deeper nature of what was occurring in my life. I like experiencing these songs with you it takes me back.

True, his dad died in WWII and his fathers father (Rogers grandfather) died in WWI. I think it's pretty obvious why Roger is so anti-war.

You really need to watch the movie, it will give you perspective on all of these songs... It is a must watch... I've seen it dozens of times and never tire of it...

"The Wall" tells the story of Pink, an embittered and alienated rock star. As told through the song "Mother", part of Pink's sense of alienation comes from being raised by an overprotective single mother, who lost her husband, Pink's father, in World War II. The song narrates a conversation by Pink (voiced by Waters) and his mother (voiced by Gilmour). The listener learns of the over-protectiveness of Pink's mother, who is helping Pink build his wall to try to protect him from the outside world, evidenced by the line spoken by Pink's mother. She insists that Pink stay by her side even after he grows up, and cannot stand it when Pink eventually grows older and falls in love.

I feel for the mother who has less choice in how she raises her child than I ever realized. And I know I can only raise my child based on how I learned. It’s both scary and freeing in some way. The incredible thing about this song, and the whole album, is that it captures both the sad reality of why others with power act a certain way, and also the horrible effect it has on those impacted. It’s not a simple one sided story. Maybe this is why it resonated with so many people and lasted as a masterpiece in ways the current dance anthems never will.

Saw this concert, when I was 20, (60 now). A life changer.

Man this music just never ceases to give me the intense feels. Right back to high school feeling all that teen angst and frustration and emotional pain. But in such a beautiful way.

Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band. Gilmour will make you cry with his guitar sound.

My grandma passed a few months before I was born. My father and uncle would sing this to her (it was her favorite song) as she was on her deathbed. This song has a deep and special meaning to my family. Always will.

Roger Waters wrote this song. It’s about his mother being over protective after his father died when he was young

Pink Floyd is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE band! Wait you really can't call them a band their in a category all by themselves. My I suggest the song Echoes from Live at Pompeii. It's a 25 min epic.

DUDE. I’ve been listening to this song for almost 30 years and I never realized what the last line meant. “Mother did it need to be so high?” is referring to the wall. It seems so obvious now, but I always thought it was referring to getting high cause Pink is so messed up throughout the whole movie “The Wall”. I was overthinking it. THANK YOU for clarifying!

My most memorable time with this song was with my boys at age ~5 & 6. While making spaghetti sauce, one of my sons turned and said "he sure talks to his mom a lot". 😅

I just listened to this with my 5 year old right next to me watching his KZread cartoons. I muted it momentarily at the "will they break my balls" part since it's a bit early for that expression to enter his vocabulary.

If you haven't seen the movie " Another Brick In The Wall" you should. It'll give you the whole perspective on this song and the others in the movie.

This song brings out just as much emotion as Wish You We’re Here by Floyd. Makes me cry how beautiful it is

I'm gonna echo all the people here who say you really need to watch the movie. It ties everything together and lets you see the entire story. Plus, it's a really good movie.

really need to watch the whole movie, and these songs go together in an epic way

This song f’s me up all the time. I remember my mother waiting up when I came home from partying when I was a teen. I remember her love and care. Her opinions about my different girlfriends. She was always spot on. My mom passed 16 years ago. This song…

For a kid who lost his mother when he was 13 and had this come out when he was 17, can you say "impact". Fantastic read Jamel. Thank you.

Until at the very end they were completely behind a wall. If you ever get the opportunity to see Roger Waters I would highly suggest it. Thanks for playing this song... keep up the good work

Sandy Miller One of the best shows I've ever seen. It surely was epic, wasn't it? Amazing production.

You need to listen to the whole album in order for it to really make sense. Members of Pink Floyd were all affected by their lives in post WWII England. The songs reflect a lot of that trauma.

Once again you got it. I cried watching you hear this for the first time. Bless you
