Mother (with Lyrics) by Pink Floyd Reaction 

Pink Floyd is Pure Gold. Most profound thought provoking band ever

Great observation from the both of you. When I was in my adolescent years, I'd have to listen to Spanish music played by my parents. I wasn't amused so I'd listen to RocknRoll. My parents would constantly say "Don't listen to LSD music such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc..." That's when headphone use was constantly used by my 2 brother and I. A couple of weeks later while my parents were running errands I was listening to "Mother" in my room nice and loud. All of a sudden my door opens; I quickly lower my stereo expecting expecting to be yelled at. My parents walk in with a big smile and say, "Now that's a beautiful song, who is it... ? Hesitantly I replied, "Pink Floyd". Then like the dogs they are, they looked at each other tucking their tails between their legs, and slowly walk out. I actually felt victory!! Now they listen to PF with good spirits and no regrets. This story always puts a smile on my face!!!

Isn't it neat how Pink Floyd music really never gets old. When you get older it seems like the meaning changes.Time is a good example too.

Pink Floyds music is best experienced an album at a time.

Another great pick for you ladies. Pink Floyd is definitely a band to look into and familiarize yourself with. Their journey went from obscure in the early days to absolute legend in the rock and roll world. Keep it up, I'm a fan.

Pink Floyd is like a fine wine, better with age.

Pink floyd are that group who get you thinking about your life .a unbelievable talented group of musicians .

The Wall was the best ever!!!!! 57 years old and I still listen to it since I was a kid in 1979 when it came out.

Full bottle for sure! I always liked Pink Floyd, and this is one of my favorites from them🎶. Such a tragic perspective, and one that hits home for a lot of guys with absentee fathers and overprotective mothers. Many times in the military, one parent will be deployed for six to eight months, while the other parent tries to raise you the best they can.... What a great and heartfelt reaction! thanks to both of you ladies! I think you're a great team and a great channel 👍🎶

Lovely reaction ladies. As many others have already said, when it comes to "The Wall", you really need to hear the whole album (or watch the whole film) from start to finish, otherwise you may miss out on crucial aspects of the story. It's a concept album, so it's difficult to break the whole context down through just one or two songs if you've not heard the whole thing. Trust me, you'll love it! It's very dark and not the happiest of tales as it deals with deteriorating mental health, but it's an absolute masterpiece of musicianship and lyrics.

You guys absolutely need to do "Us and Them" from Dark Side of the Moon! It's a couple songs After Time On the Dark Side of the Moon album and is one of the most beautiful yet powerful anti-war anti social classes songs ever written!! It divides the leaders and the grunts in the military and the lyrics really are brilliant!! Then again almost any Pink Floyd song ends up being brilliant! One final note that you'll find with Pink Floyd songs is they're always relevant! That's because the way Rodger Waters writes his lyrics they don't date themselves plus you can't pin them down to any other genre, they are their own genre! We enjoy your videos keep it up!!

Thanks for the Pink Floyd ladies. Hope to hear more of it on your show. Cash, you and Bev are great together. I almost can’t imagine the show without the two of you. What a class act. Thank you

A great reaction to a great song….enjoy the Floyd journey ….you are going to love it.✌️

The lady in the black absolutely nailed it. This song is about an overbearing mother, who is in complete control of her son. And after losing her husband in WWII, has tried to protect her son so much that it's making him very introverted. Of course, everyone can take from it whatever they want, and each of our own life experiences has an effect on how we interpret things. And the beauty of music is that as long as it moves you, there's no wrong interpretation. Anyways, God Bless both of you, glad you've actually took a minute to dive in and listen to a band I've enjoyed for nearly 40 years now. And I'm still learning and discovering new things nearly everytime I give them a listen. So enjoy, and hope you check out a lot more FLOYD!!!

Fabulous reaction 2 different view points and both can be applied to this song and spot on with his haunting voice full of emotion , loving it can’t wait for the next vid ……….please hurry up. Haha 😀👍

This has always been a powerful song. Good reaction y'all! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

This hit me pretty hard. My mother and had a toxic relationship and it stunted me as a man. I just realized that this song applies to my situation after years of listening to Pink Floyd. How could I not make this connection before? Thank you

I'm a 47yo latin american man, Pink Floyd's fan, Gilmour's fan, and your fan now, you are a gorgeous couple of ladies... thanks for make this videos. Soy un hombre latino de 47 años, fanático de Pink Floyd, de Gilmour y ahora de ustedes, una par de hermosas damas, gracias por hacer estos videos.

WELCOME TO THE RIDE WE ALL CALL "PINK FLOYD"

Thanks Ladies, that was great. I was listening to this on my stereo in 79. Saw the concert in 1980.

I just discovered your channel recently and I'm enjoying your post analysis and insights. Keep up the good work!

Just stumbled across your channel and subscribed straight away. The interesting thing tonight for me (I'm from the UK) is that I watched two 19 year old American girls react to this video just before I watched you two beautiful slightly less young ladies watch it, and the differences in reaction, in your wiser nodding at points of the lyrics for example, was a lesson in itself to me. Anyway, great reaction, great channel (from what I can see) and I look forward to watching more of your videos both catching up on what you've already done and, hopefully, more to come. Thanks for the entertainment tonight!

One of your best reaction video and comments so far....Liked how you both interpreted the song to yourselves.... Thanks Ladies ⚘⚘

Hi... new watcher/listener. Found you because of your reaction to Pink Floyd songs. I recommend you consider listening to Pink Floyd - Shine on you crazy diamond. It's about the tragic story of founding member Syd Barrett and the impact of his downfall on the band. FYI... when I listen to Pink Floyd on Friday evenings after work, I like to our a glass of an Italian Amarone ;) Cheers!

Wonderful reaction. I can't wait to see your next Pink Floyd reaction.👍😊👍

Hey Cash, hey Bev! Awesome job, Ladies! Keep up the nice work!

Hi. I've watched your Pink Floyd videos. I like how you are dressed for the occasion. Drinking port wine🍷 as I watch 📺. Happy Mother's Day in advance. 💗

You're both right. The beauty of Pink Floyd is the ability to apply their lyrics to many different views.

Great insight ladies. Awesome reaction from you both.

The Wall (throughout the entire album) they reference is the emotional wall that we build around ourselves for protection and his momma helps him build it big and strong

... can you say "Oedipus Complex?" Hello again you two. I Loved your reactions. Yours are so much more valuable, having gone through some of this to different degrees. Thank You for this and all you do. Keep Smiling... Cheers...

Because Roger's dad died in WW2 when he was a baby, his mother raised him alone. It was a very co-dependent relationship. She smothered him. Later in life Roger acted out in anger and during the "Animals '77 Tour" he spat in a fans face. That was the beginning of his isolation and creation of "The Wall" masterpiece we know today.

Roger Waters lost his dad when he was very young. His mother became overprotective of him. This is what this song is about

This album is an experience...... you CANNOT TALK through it !!!

Wanna hug both of you. . Great reaction.

This song is like listening to a comedian laying out things we might kind of know, but profoundly expressing all of it in a nutshell so it becomes part of your lexicon of life.

Was always looking forward to you doing more pink floyd videos.

Great song and reaction about a overprotective mother. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Rush are three of the greatest most influential bands that ever where in rock music.

Great vid! Thank for posting

Pink Floyd sounds like pink Floyd and no one else. It is the pink Floyd sound after all. Nobody can hang with the Floyd. And rush.

One of my faves ever. Took years before I saw the vid. Thanks!

Whe he said "Mother did it need to be so high?" He's talking about The Wall

Roger Walters wrote the album The Wall , he lost his dad in the 2nd World War and was brought up by his dominant mother . So as mothers you two are spot on

For all you Pink Floyd Enthusiast out there, the wall was all written by Sid Barrett on a beaten-up notebook. Who wrote short poems in the haikus about his life experiences with his family and his schizophrenia that he had to deal with his whole life. Rodger Waters and David Gilmour we're SIDS best friends. Sid was in the band in the late 60s and early 70s. Waters used notebook to write the wall, started a rift between Gilmore and Waters that is still there today! David Gilmour wrote wish you were here, the first person he let hear him play the song was Sit Barrett, who you dedicated the song to.Sid spent a good portion of his life in mental institutions.

We'll i guess by now your on your 2nd bottle having a grt Monday LOVE you 2 ladies keep making us smile

그목소리가 무척 어울렸는데 이제 세월이 많이 흘렀지만 무척 그리워하겠네요

That's the beauty of Water's lyrics. existentially profound. Pink Floyd are nothing without him.

It's not what he meant, but that's great art for you. Everybody get's their own message from it... So what you got from it is just as valid as what Waters got from it when he wrote it, and what I got from it when I first heard it 30+ years ago....

well ladies, speaking from a " blokes" point of view, yep " youre right"!, floyd has allways touched me music wise , from an early age, im now 65 years old, when i was in my 40,s i sufferd a brain haemmorage, it was pink floyd,s music that { along with my family} got me through the " worst times", mainly because they sang about LIFE!

Spoken as a single make with no kids, always lived these lyrics. Loved your prospective

My first time watching your reaction. I have to say it was very good experience. I find you both very interesting ladies and how you interpret things. I was after being in service an oil field worker myself and as you said was away from home a lot. My wife had it rough trying to hold down the fort so to speak while I was gone with 3 girls. My son

First you both are so damn pretty .. Second you really got this song. Pink Floyd is always Intense. Great Reaction video.

I immediately subscribed to you. You two are the first reactions of people who listen to this song who actually feel what's going on. I hope you did a reaction to the full album..and I'll find it...because each song is a piece to the puzzle to what's happened to Pink throughout his life. You'll find it disconcerting and somewhat authentic but it's a story worth knowing. Excellent job! Seriously.

I think you all hit on the message pretty good. The whole concept of the "wall" is about a guy who gradually becomes isolated and suffers more and more from psychosis as time goes on. The wall represents that ever increasing isolation. And I think the lines "mother should I build the wall" and "of course mama's gonna help build the wall" implies his mother's contributions to his psychosis from being overprotective and overbearing during his formative years. A very beautiful but very disturbing song. Thank you for sharing this video. Always love seeing people loving on the classics.

Astute observations! Hovering, helicopter mom. Nice Pup cameo! Cheers!

Next one from Pink Floyd - Coming back to life ( live to Pulse concert 1994 ) 😎👍

Good reaction. I think it would be a mistake to analyze this as just about Roger Waters relationship with his own mother. To me the most essential part of this song is related to "the wall". How it is created and what maintains it.

Beautiful ladies, both. Bev is gorgeous! You ladies rock.

Have a cigar by Pink Floyd!

I suggest you get the album The Wall which that song is on - it was meant to be a heard together, all the songs tell the story - now the original idea was that the songs were separate but together they explored a concept - they all fit together to explain how people become isolated and alienated. Each song has a bit of background behind how it was written and what lead to the imagery in it which is what most people focus on but only when you put them all together do you understand what they are really about. The stuff people normally focus on tells you the HOW of the song, not the WHY [I hope that makes sense] Now later they produced the movie which consolidates the songs even more by creating a single narrative so there is no question what it is about. I personally recommend hearing the album first and then watch the movie - this gives context. Sadly I watched the movie first and later heard the album - I say sadly because I feel it would have been more powerful in the other order since with the album you have a loose collection of songs that run a theme but are not exactly a single story and that leaves it more open to your own interpretations and then the movie shows you how they meant it which gives you a deeper understand by seeing both how it relates to you and to the artist. Anyway, this is the first time I have seen you and I wanted to say I like what you have done here.

I actually went to the wall tour a few years ago at Wembley in England what a show it was , absolutely mind blowing ,all the tracks from the album played live and the stage effects were out of this world .

I really like that you take the time to listen to the whole song before commenting. Most "reaction videos" talk too much and interrupt the songs.❤️✌️

Pink Floyd! What can you say? Amazing music and lyrics wich are close connected. Thank you for your sincere reactions. I urge both of you to listen to "Comforably Numb" at Pulse consert 1994 and dive into the lyrics and David Gilmores performance with his voice and guitar. Regards from Sweden

Great reaction and analysis; Roger lost his father at a young age and his mother was over protective to the point of smothering. The metaphoric 'wall'' was a mental barrier he created to protect himself from all of the unjustified fears his mother put into him. For a different vibe but still very poignant track try Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away (live, remastered). Or anything from the Pulse Live concert.

This is a great reaction, you're very good at this. Pink Floyd is widely loved, and I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions. Floyd was capable of coupling exquisite music with moving, direct, personally relevant lyrics somehow. I'd like to hear what you think of the songs Wish You Here and The Great Gig in the Sky, 2 of my favorites.

I enjoyed this ladies… Nice job!

Great reaction video. Thanks.

Love you Ladies and the doggie in the background. NO talk during song and commentary at the end is the BEST! From the MOMMIES is even BETTER! Next shot on ME!!!!

Beautiful grannies!!!!

wow. for some reason this reaction really helped this song sink in.

OMG what glorious reaction world have stumbled into?

Ladies, I found your podcast by looking for reactions Pink Floyd the wall, I am 65 years old and have been to concerts since I was 13 and saw everybody from cream to the latest Rolling Stones concert so if you missed all that I’m glad you catching up to it now enjoy.

Hi, when is your next video??? Haven't seen you in a while. How about a reaction video to a song that was made in the year that I was born (1970). I'm suggesting Linda Ronstadt "Long Long Time". I love the way that Linda sang it, and still listen to it from time to time today.

You're both right. Roger Waters said his mother was the opposite of the overbearing mother in The Wall. She wanted him to find a dirty girl and get it over with. She even attended the premiere of the movie with Roger. His dad was killed in WWII, at Anzio, Italy, when Roger wasn't even a toddler.. It affected him deeply. In the album "The Wall," Pink's dad is killed in the war, and his mom smothers him, and tries to keep him "healthy and clean." This has the opposite effect.

Some mothers need and desire to be needed, is stronger than their feelings of responsibility to raise a strong independent adult.

great fun watching this with you guys, thanks.

Version done during lockdown, takes some beating.

You both seem so cool. I would love to have a bottle of wine with you both and just chill to Floyd :)

Hello ladies. Excellent song. Best to listen to the entire album to have a good understanding of the song. This song is like one chapter in a book. You need to read the chapters before and after to get a better context of the song. So much more for you to find.

thank you, best reaction to mother

Good to see folk who have never heard PF giving them a listen..............they stand the test of time so well.

Hat off to your words, madames... A respectful greeting from Italy!

Great reaction girls! Enjoying your PF ride. Good production with the reaction video also.

I was always a Pink Floyd fan, they are one of my two or three favourite bands. And now I always find a reason to apreciate them even more. They are just timeless. I think they are actually more relevant than when they wrote it. Maybe they are prophets of some sort.

Shine on girls ✌️🌹

Two beautiful young ladies enjoying great music. I love it :-)

my guess is you took the advice about "some things to take" before listening. i did! very nice reaction and you have a beautiful dog...

But never forget that the best part of this music is Dave’s GUITAR and his voice …

... beautiful song .... beautiful ladies ...

Beautiful

What a beautiful reaction

So good. Thank You from Canada

I graduated in 79 and head phones and twist a fatty. That's how you do pink floyd

Excellent take ladies, I loved the reaction

Hey Guys i been hooked on the Wall since '79 when it was released. it's better to watch the whole film, than get songs out of context. You he much genius to look out for. enjoyed your good grace to listen to the song without chatty. chers keep it up x

I first went down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole over 40 years ago and Thanks to girls like you it's like I'm ne

Great reaction! Thanks.

I'm new to your channel and just love this. I'd like to say that there is a genius musician known only as a one hit wonder and people don't consider him a great singer but know him as a synthesizer guy. I hope you listen to Valley of the Mind's Eye by Thomas Dolby. And if you have the time give Beauty of A Dream a listen. But Valley of the Mind's Eye done all by himself without a band shows we were robbed of a truly talented singer/musician. He would not listen to his record label when they wanted him to continue to release goofy synthesizer songs like his mtv pop song "She Blinded Me With Science" so they buried him as much as they could. Thanks for the great video. Love reactions from good people hearing my favorite songs

I've watched a couple of these Floyd reactions now and it's fun to see how the band's music is blowing the mind of the lady on the left. lol

Their song Welcome To The Machine has a similar theme, especially to the early entertainment lifestyle idea.
