Another word which returns multiple times across this album is ”babe”. Is he talking only about his wife and/or girlfriend here, or is it also harking back to his childhood innocence as well? After all, The Wall ends with a return to simplicity, openness, and vulnerability.
Here’s the link to the original song by Pink Floyd:
• Don't Leave Me Now

I am not sure if it has been said before, if so I apologize. The composition of the entire albums was programming the songs with the limitation of the play time of 33rpm albums. There is a finite area of space on those vinyl disks. When listening to The Wall on those old albums and a turn table it is consumed like a live play, where you take intermissions between flipping and changing the albums. That is how I first experienced this back in '79 at the age of 8.

If there were Oscar and Emmy awards for RU-vid, you should get both for your analysis of the greatest piece of rock music made so far. I bought the album in 1979 and have been listening to it ever since. The first time , I listened straight through twice reading the lyrics. It kept echoing in my head so I got up at 2 in the morning and listened to it again. It was supposed to be a present for my 16 year old son, but I am 81 years old and still have it. If you want to see the Wall in its full glory, The Wall Live in Berlin by Roger Waters is a must. Ove 700,00 people were there at the berlin wall as it came down. The Scorpions, Bryan Adams, Cyndy Lauper, The Berlin Philharmonic, the Red Army Choir (RIP) and many more perform. This music is tied for first place with Beethoven's 9th.

This has always been one of my favourite songs on The Wall. The hit of emotion is so powerful that it's a useful tool for breaking emotional numbness.

I always thought of the breathing in the song as what someone does after a rage moment or other very stressful angry event.

The instruments are creating a vast and wide quiet setting to portray a sense of cold loneliness. Pink has driven everyone in his life away, and now he is utterly, bitterly alone. He has no one...and it's all his fault. I think the breathing is to show that he is so alone and it's so uncomfortably quiet that all he can hear is the sound of his own breathing, and his inner turmoil (the lyrics). That's my personal take, anyway.

Ventilator or the breathing heard in ones head after an adrenaline surge turned inward collapse into utter despair, like we are inside the person's idea of themselves which has partially retreated from the world and we are given the impression of respiration from an interior place in the body which slowly develops into something more mechanical sounding and even more removed as it moves on, sounds like the whole thing breathing thing gets more and more effected by the use of a band pass filter, this perspective is then flipped outward in the organ rush at thee lyric Why are you running away-a-a-a? which then becomes a wailing lament of loss and the whole mix changes to a more clear and full sound, I take this as the 1st 3/4s of the song we are in pinks head and the last 1/4 pink expresses one word "babe" and lot of sorrow. Wonderful analysis as always, thank you for providing material meaty enough to chew on, not too terribly common on RU-vid

She watched the movie. She's referred to it several times during the analysis videos.

I'm glad you picked up on the joyful tone of this melody. I always found interesting it doesn't sound sad, but almost excited to leave.

4:47 You had me cracking up there. The defining feature of the rock genre is its passion. I think that's the key. It's screaming about bad up bringings, abandonment, abuse, government malfeasance, etc. I really didn't pick up on this until well into my 40s. When you're younger, all that anger is just Sex Pistols cool. But that's the defining feature of the best rock, and it doesn't have to be expressed only through loud, raucous music, as we see here.

Rock in my opinion can be considered to have achieved canonical status within western art music because of progressive bands like this, transcending ordinary pop song goals. The period (since 1963) has a ton of standard stuff that will not stand out as the decades pass, but also has works that do have innovation and uniqueness that give them lasting relevance and will ultimately cause them to represent what this period and medium of music could achieve... An important part of a period's "style" is the ability to express the *full range* of emotions and experiences, both negative and positive. In my opinion, this is why the serialism of Schoenberg and Webern did not actually constitute a full "style" despite its enormous influence; because despite its unprecedented capacity to express dark emotions, it was weak at expressing positive ones, and the canon for the early-mid 20th century thus also had to include things like the neoclassical style. There is no doubt that the importance and mass awareness of traditional orchestral and new "classical" has declined since the emergence of progressive jazz and rock since the mid-20th Century, so if rock has indeed entered the canon, we might find Hendrix referred to as the electric guitar Paganini of our period, and The Wall as the equivalent of Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique. Fortunately, a brighter optimistic vision of canonical quality also exists, in the music of Yes.

Waters' vocal is pretty harrowing. And I don't want to say PF fans prefer to hear songs about beating someone to a pulp on a Saturday night, versus gettin' down on a Saturday night, but there IS something there. 😉

The story is that the persona singing the song is actually really a musician, but he has gone off the rails from ego and drugs. This is a composition about someone trying to compose while being completely wasted--sitting at a piano slouched over, listlessly poking away at the keys and working out lyrics. It sounds very drunk, and that excess is exactly why he has lost the love of his life AND now even his ability to create music fueled by his life's tragedies. It is dissonant and insipid and struggling. Then an outer frame of competent sound that captures and reflects on the tragedy of the protagonist's fall from love and talent. As he screams "running awaaaaaay" a powerful, beautiful meta-song about the song, a beautiful, assonant, lyrical instrumentation and return to a refrain that runs through the album, that bending guitar note. It almost seems to parallel the story of Syd Barrett, who lost his mind, but Pink Floyd (represented here by that outer frame of the song that is strong and so flawlessly executed), the band, carried on and made incredibly beautiful music that was often inspired by reflecting on the tragic story of Syd (Wish You Were Here, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Dark Side of the Mood's title track, etc.). That is my take anyway. I love your engagement with the Pink Floyd!

I had a dream once of walking the streets of my home town. It wasn't present day, it was how it used to be in the mid 19th century. And I was walking through the streets, seeing all the people as they used to be, and all the buildings new and clean. And as I was walking in a pub, the people started disappearing, the walls started peeling back to bare brick. As I ran outside, everyone was disappearing and the buildings were becoming run down as they are today, when no one cares for them and instead are waiting for them to be deemed ready for demolition. And as all this was happening, all I was hearing was the end of this song, at 5:45. I remember I woke up in tears at the sheer sense of loss.

As aa music enthusiast but music illiterate (I don't read music) I love these analyses and am learning some new things. To add to your no doubt already impossibly long list of random suggestions from random people--I'd be fascinated the hear a professional musician's analysis of Robert Quine's guitar solos on, for example, Richard Hell & the Voidoids' "Blank Generation" or Lou Reed's "Waves of Fear." Thanks!

Have you seen the movie yet ("The Wall")? A little more of the subject matter is portrayed in the movie. They also made a film earlier in the 1970's called "Live at Pompeii", it's one of my favorite music film/videos.
