Mother is actually a really sad song, it’s about an overbearing mum Molly coddling her son by not letting him be a boy and do the things he wants to. This is because she lost her husband in the war and is terrified of losing her son. It's all done through love, but has a negative effect on him creating bricks in his wall of isolation. That's why he says at the end, "Mother did it need to be so high". Also, when a song can affect you so greatly it's powerful, there's nothing wrong with exposing yourself to those feelings and especially appreciating your Mom.

Exactly, it's a sad song about a mother who stifles and suffocates her child by being overbearing. It's easy too miss the meaning of this song when you don't know the whole story of the wall. It's a wall of psychological isolation and emotional disconnection that she helps Pink build. Listening to the whole album start to finish tells the story.

Some people see this song as negative but it's actually very accurate subjectively. even as part of the concept of this album the mother is never portrayed as a negative figure.

It's a tough song about an overly protective mother. Her coddling has trapped her son and not let him spread his wings and find himself. He ends up broken and asking, "did that wall have to be so high?" because it's ultimately being a detriment to him.

I really hope they listen to entire albums once they react to enough singles from them. Pink Floyd is truly meant to be listened to all at once, from beginning to the end. And one really misses the full Pink Floyd experience when only reacting to singles. Particularly with the story that "The Wall" tells. Amber is such a fan, I feel bad that she is missing out on the full experience of a band she so obviously loves. Someday, she will experience them the way they are meant to be fully experienced. And if she thinks they blow her mind now, well, wow, just wait! I think a work around for them would be to react to the movie Pink Floyd The Wall. They can experience the full concept of the album in a way that work for their reaciton channels, albeit the movie reaction channel.

As I’m seeing Amber smile during the moms part I’m thinking they really haven’t caught on to the lyrics. As many others have said, it’s about an overbearing coddling mother “she won’t let you fly but she might let you sing”. The song is actually quite sad, the mom is going to help him build a wall and contribute to his complete isolation. The last line “mama, did it need to be so high” always gets me 😢. Every response the mom gives him is chillin “mama’s gonna make all of your nightmares come true” “mama’s gonna put all of her fears into you”.

Yeah, I think part of the issue (besides just listening to a song for the first time and missing some lyrics as they go by, which happens to everyone on various songs in their lives) is that if you don't know what "the wall" as a metaphor is referring to in the context of the story, it can be easy to just dismiss or ignore the lines that mention it or point to it on a first listen. I mean, the song is intentionally head-faking in the direction of "oh, mother's taking care of her baby" (which is what makes the turn in those lines so dark) so I can see how someone listening to it for the first time and with no knowledge about the theme of the album or the meaning of the title might miss it until a subsequent listen.

As mentioned, The Wall is supposed to be listened to as a narrative rather than as individual songs...... Together, the context makes a lot more sense.....

This song is about Roger Waters childhood. He lost his father in WW2 when he was 5 months old and his mother was very over-protective.

Pink Floyd is probably the best band that ever was. When every song hell every word and note will take you on a personal journey kinda says it all. I mean Dark Side of the Moon was one the top 100 for over 13 years. What other band has ever done that? The craziest thing is their music is just as relevant today as it was back then.

"Mother did it need to be so high?" This song reminds me of a guy I went to college with who had a super oppressive mother who just would not let him experience anything and I always felt so sorry for him. We tried to include him in things but he always had to check in or go home to appease his mom. Sad.

No importa en inglés o en cualquier idioma es la misma interpretación cuando una madre es sobre protectora y no deja crecer a su hijo. Quizás vivimos las mismas situaciones en todo el mundo. I love this song. Saludos desde Ecuador

Saw the original concert in 1980 and it is still the magnum opus of performances I have ever witnessed. Can't say anything else about it. Oh, saw the 2012 show as well. As good as it was the 1980 show is still on the forefront. Mother has to be one of my faves.

You should read the lyrics to "Mother". It's not nice. It's domineering. Mama's going to make all of your nightmares come true / Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you............etc. The three elements that drove "Pink" over the edge were his father's death, his domineering mother, and a cruel schoolmaster.

This song always makes me ball like a baby...I lost my beautiful, overprotective mother when I was just a child. And despite her overprotective tendencies, I know it only came from a place of love. I would do anything to just have a few more years of her overprotectiveness in my life...and due to suffering from self inflicted addiction problems, the last line of 'mother did it need to be so, high'...just puts a nail in the coffin for me. :( Yo if you still have your mumma, please give her a cuddle for me... don't tell her why, just hug her.

The album "The Wall" was more of a story. It was more lyrical than their previous albums, with shorter songs. For some more great songs off the Wall check out, "In The Flesh", "Young Lust", "Goodbye Blue Sky" or "Run Like Hell"

You should just watch the movie the wall Pink Floyd and listen to the whole album as well

Comfortably Numb and Run (Like Hell) are my favorites from The Wall, and from Pink Floyd in general.

Do enjoy, perhaps with some of that scotch that J enjoys, as it's visual beauty is also very invitingly trippy; remember, it's Pink Floyd! Either way, enjoy!

So beautiful, yet so sad. The beautiful strumming of the guitars are mesmerizing as this young man's life is being destroyed by his Mother. One of the best of Pink Floyd. I think you need to listen again now you know the story behind the song. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

The Wall came out when I was in Highschool. Everyone I knew had a copy. One of the greatest master pieces of music ever.

Like others have said, this song is not a warm remembrance of your dear mom taking care of you. It's about an over-protective mother smothering her son's development in the wake of the loss of her husband ('Pink's' father) during WWII. The Wall is not a collection of songs to be played on shuffle mode. The Wall is a brilliant concept album presented in story form. It is designed to be listened to from start to finish. When you do that you will have the full context of each song. Please treat yourself and listen to The Wall as it was designed.

Experiencing the entire album IS a great idea. Enjoying individual songs is how most of us got introduced to the mastery of Pink Floyd. The good people of FM radio played what they could, and encouraged us to jump on board. However you get there, it’s worth the effort and the rewards are endless.

I love this song.......I wasn't very close with my mom. I do have great memories of her , although not a bunch. Before my mom passed she met my wife and really loved her. The part that says " mother will she break my heart " makes me tear up. Mom pulled me aside aside q day later and said...." Son.....Trina is the one for you. I can tell , she won't break your heart ".

Both sitting with eyes closed, having the same moment at the same time during the "momma will always find out where you've been" line.. I think we all can relate to that line, but it was pretty moving to see.

Great reaction. Honestly, there always seems a difference of perception on this song. It was meant to be a sad song about an over protective Mother who shields her son and doesn’t let him live his own life. However, lately a lot of reactors see the mother as loving and looking out for the son. Crazy how times & perception changes over the years

I don't think perceptions have changed, I think it's just that reactors are hearing it for the first time and missing the relevance of certain lines (or missing the lines altogether) specifically because it's their first listen. With this song in particular, the lyrics are kind of doing a head-fake in the direction of "oh, mother's taking care of her baby..." - because that's sort of the point, right? That mother *thinks* she's doing the right thing but really she's unknowingly passing her neuroses down to her child in a way that both characters in the song don't even see - and so I can see how someone on a first listen might catch the seeming gist of the lyrics but miss the subtle reveal of the more sinister lines (especially if, at that moment, they happen to be paying more attention to the instruments or are distracted with wondering when the spacy sounds they expect from PF are going to kick in). Tbh, there are a lot of reaction channels that will never understand what the lyrics of various songs are saying because they're only listening at a surface level and are (a) not bright enough to parse the meaning of the lyrics, and/or (b) simply don't bother trying because they don't actually care and the only reason they're doing the video is to knock out a song that will grab views from the nostalgia crowd. J&A are not those people. They often process the meanings of songs (and do so very well) and seem to genuinely listen to, experience, and absorb the music in the moment and into their lives more than the vast majority of non-vocal coach reactors out there. But, like anyone, they'll sometimes miss the bigger picture on a first listen. Also, I've noticed a number of reactors who react to isolated songs from The Wall don't understand what the idea of "the wall" is referring to. It's obvious once you know but, to many folks who are hearing a song from this album for the first time, it just sounds like an abstract image or metaphor and they let it go by without connecting it to the other lyrics.

There were a couple of others but they werent memorable either. Probably Yellow Submarine was the other one that was the biggest (great if youre drunk or stoned by the way - yellow submarine was basically made to watch while youre drinking or smoking weed). The Wall caught the switch from rock, to punk, to new romantic and synth music perfectly. Partly because Floyd were a little bit of all of those things. The only artist with the same pedigree was Brian Eno and/with Roxy Music. Eno basically invented punk music with Third Uncle. If youre a Floyd fan, listen to Third Uncle and see where Floyd got sone of their inspiration. If youre a Floyd fan and havent heard Third Uncle you will be shocked by its opening bars.

You NEED to do their movie...The Wall. You'll have a much better understanding of these songs. Great reaction!!

This was my brother's favorite song by Pink Floyd.

After all these years I’m stunned to learn that Jeff Porcaro is playing drums on this. I always thought Nick Mason was mediocre but had a shining moment on this song. But I was wrong. Another testament to the greatness of Jeff Porcaro.

Can you please do a reaction video on sound of silence by the group Disturb. You two are amazing Jay and Amber.

"The Sound of Silence" is how I discovered Disturbed...I would normally never listen to "heavy metal" but that cover was/is awesome. I also love "Hold On To Memories" and "A Reason To Fight"; they have a great cover of "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" (The Police did the original...). Please do a reaction to Disturbed...

To truly appreciate this song, you need to hear it in context of the entire story. Stop listening to individual tracks from this album and watch the movie. Following the story through the different songs is crucial to understanding the lyrics and feeling the emotion. The Wall by Pink Floyd and Tommy by the Who are two movies/albums that need to be heard as a whole!

Do not watch the movie before listening to the album (and getting a sense of understanding what the hell it is about) Seriously, I mean that.

One of the greatest double-albums ever made (and a movie masterpiece)!

Floyd,,,,simple yet soooooo powerful. 💥💥💥👍😎

I think they missed the cynical daggers this song has in it. Mother is a horror show (with best intentions) in this song - nurturing yet controlling, overbearing to the point of terror. Mother builds the wall to protect baby, but builds it so high that baby becomes imprisoned by Mother. Baby wants to fly, but Mother clips baby's wings - baby cant fly away but Mother might let baby sing once in awhile. Mother is a TERROR in this song. A terror with good intentions.

Can you please do Cinderella's -Shelter Me.

Mother"s responses are chilling.

This is one of thr mist beautiful love songs ever written

If you get a chance, listen to the live version from their 80's Wall tour. The guitar solo is extended and really awesome!

Pink has been there since the beginning of rock and roll guys thanks again love you guys enjoyed it

Terminal Frost is all music by Pink Floyd with drums and saxophone.

Roger Waters sings the beginning of the song and David Gilmore sings the middle section up to the lead guitar riff

The way they capture the feeling of an experience in lyrics. The chills come for free
