PINK FLOYD - MOTHER (UK Reaction) | IS MOTHER NUTTY AS A FRUITCAKE??! 

Great reaction as always. The last line "Mother did it need to be so high" refers to the "wall" she helped him build to shield him from the world.

That solo in the middle is absolutely incredible. Short, but oh so full of emotion. Only David Gilmour can create a short, masterful solo like that.

The over protective mother is just another brick in the wall. Loving your reactions, by the way. 👍

Richard Wright is often overlooked in this band, with Gilmour and Waters, but he `was` the atmosphere for this band. His keyboards set the tone of most PF songs.

Man, I just realized you have almost 44k subs. I remember way back when we were excited about 10k. It's been so fun going on this journey and watching you and your channel grow. Watching you adjust to being ok just being your crazy self and finding your tribe because of it. I love this song, I love this family, and I love you! Keep it up man. ❤

The ending is Mother did it need to be so high. Referencing the height of the wall she built around him to protect him from all the dangers of life and the world.

The difference of PF is that as soon as we hear them in whatever song they play we know its PF its their sound, yet every song is completely different , that is their brillince, no other band in the world can do that.

08:29 you distilled the narrative of this song perfectly in 30 seconds. someone's already set you straight on the last line,so i'll just say...do the rest of the album! you wont regret tossing everything else aside and listening to the rest of this masterpiece. you also need a sense of continuity that you'll miss out on if you space the reactions out over a number of days. or perhaps just record all your reactions in one sitting then release them gradually.

Bingo. You caught the meaning of this one straight on 🎯. With these lyrics Roger Waters shown how many people he knew better than they even knew themselves.

Yes! You’re right. 👍 it’s partially based on Roger Waters’ own life, losing his father to WW2 and experiencing an over protective mother, though he said in an interview it was not about his relationship with his own mother ✌️

I love this song so much and I love your reactions! Win win! I recently lost my mother man and it hurts so bad ! We used to watch the wall all the time it was one of her favorite movies. We love pink floyd so much! I remember her playing these tunes all the time taking us to the beach and out to the Springs. Man, she did put all her fears into us but kept us cozy and warm!!!! I'm so proud of your growing channel bro!

Oh how I love pink floyd ❤

"Mother did it need to be so high" ... er, The Wall, did the emotional and psychological wall that you've helped me build around myself need to be so high.

Greetings from Southwest Texas 🇺🇸 one of my favorites. Thank you for the great content 🔥🔥🔥 once you finish the review of this album you need to do a live stream and we can all see Pink Floyd the wall movie 🍿 together as a group 👌

I would love to see you watch the movie to this album. It's a trip!!

OH you are SO right when you say that this is the number one Pink Floyd reaction channel on youtube.... For sure.

Control dressed up as concern; mother helps build the wall around him; "Mother did it have to be so high?"

You, CRACK me up!!! And, I love it! PINK FLOYD RULES!!! Always have, always will. Keep up the great channel/reactions! PS. One of my favorite songs. Kudos, Brother! "Mother did it need to be so high?".....In other words, "Mother, why did you build this emotional and mental wall in my head to keep me from the World?"

It is a movie, the whole of The Wall is one long story that runs through the masterwork that is this piece of art. Please find the movie, watch and you will experience the entire how the band wanted you to experience it. You will be blown away

It's about an over protective mother. Watch the movie The Wall. Got to do the track Hey You!

Patience?? What is that? Loving the Pink Floyd reactions ❤

Love your reactions, Hector! You bring joy and laughter in a time where many need that. Thank you for always being honest, sharing your thoughts, and for including us all in your musical journeys! There is an amazing tribute to Pink Floyd that I think you will really enjoy! Please check out High Hopes Live from End of an Era by Nightwish! This is their tribute (NOT a cover) to PF! David Gilmore even posted this performance to his/the band's social media! I would also say that if you enjoy this song, continue on with Nightwish and maybe next do either Storytime or Ghost Love Score both songs live from Wacken 2013. Ghost Love Score live from Wacken 2013 is the most reacted to song on YT! High Hopes is just the guys of the band without their female lead vocalist. But I really think you'd enjoy that rabbit hole! They have a huge catalog to work through, and the Nightwish Army will come! Hope you and your family are more than well! Sending greetings and blessings from me and mine in Alabama!

Heartbreaking song. Young Pink (the movie character) has found out his father has died in the war. This song shows the overprotective, traumatized single widow, guiding/misguiding her son, into a world of emotional isolation... Hence the Wall... We see some of the results of this later on. The Wall is a stunning, traumatizing story, with more layers than initially seen. Great reaction mate. The Floyd album The Final Cut is overlooked by many, but another stunning album. Possible tracks that might tweak your interest... The Gunner's Dream Fletcher Memorial Home Two Suns In The Sunset

Spot on with the interpretation, Mark, and the whole album is about the main character, Pink, going through a life of trauma--brought about by himself and others--and dealing with the consequences. It's a brilliant album, The Wall. I get that you're doing you're own thing, and I won't knock it, nor will I be disappointed if you reacted to the whole thing (a lot of reactors do it in chunks). In any case, still love what you're doing, and I still remember those first reactions to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"! Peace!

You made me listen closer to the words after all these years. I missed some stuff. LOL Great reaction again.

I love the contrast of how brutal this song really is, even while they deliver it so gently, like a lullaby. It's just a really dark lullaby that is so full of texture. And that was a great movie.

At the end he says 'Mother did IT need to be so high.' Talking about the wall of seclusion she contributed to building, by installing all of her fears in to him & being over protective. She also replies through the song 'of course Momma's gonna help build the wall. Many things contributed to the wall being built, she was just part of it rather than to blame for it all. She laid the foundations basically.

I was waiting for your reaction to the guitar solo and was not disappointed. You are the best reactor GOAT.

Yes! Thank you thank you thank you. I've been waiting for this one. Glad you enjoyed. Young Lust is another good one.

Man i love your videos i just found you last night and ive watch almost all your pink floyd reaction videos, cant wait to see more, and fuck all them haters. My son has ADHA and i got hom hooked on Floyd, when im having a shitty Day i turn to Floyd to bring me back. Keep up the amazing work

Making the connection to Stephen King - Misery is kinda wild! You totally get this! It’s a horrifying song

I am 61 and have been a fan of Pink Floyd most of my life. Watching your reaction to Shine on you Crazy Diamond was like going back in time to the joy of discovering Pink Floyd for my first time. Bravo for stepping out! I'd love to see you react to Dogs of War by Floyd.

pretty much right on with your thoughts about mom being overbearing and overprotective and not letting him just be his own person. For a little idea as to why, check out "When the Tigers broke Free" form this same album. Also, if you want to totally wreck your mind, watch the movie "The Wall. It is depressing as all hell with a dynamite soundtrack. You might be just the man for it. As always, great reaction. Floyd on.

The first time I saw you react, yo were reacting to SYD, and it was Your first time reacting to Pink Floyd, and I just bounced in my chair watching you discover my Favorite band, and falling in love with your first listen. I Still watch it again from time to time. Every time you asked - What Is This??? It made me laugh, and so glad for you beacause it was pretty much my reaction ……woah, what WAS that??….Dayyyyummm that was good, and hope they played it Again sooooon, on the radio, And wait for the record/album to come out. I wish I’d had headphones back then. But I love watching you, and joining you on your journey. Thank you for reacting to this one today. You really made My day 💖💖🦋🦋 I love your energy and joy. Peace and love and Keep on Floyding 😎

I was just waiting for that David Gilmour solo to kick in!

In contrast to most reaction videos out there; you got it!

I am just now rerererewatching your reaction to this song and you are soooooooo to the point and quick to get it and YOUR reaction is so interesting because you see RIGHT AWAY what a Floydonian sees, if that makes sense... anyway, that was a true blast rewatching this video ! Thanks Hector !

Watched all your Floyd reactions and loved what they do to you . Gotta see you do One Of These Days and watch your head fall off xxx

Ive been away for a few days and just saw this. Can't tell you have much fun it was to watch you figure this out! So good!! Keep it up! Cheers!!!!!!

Dave is singing the Mother part and Roger sings his part as her son.

Great reaction! This entire album has a movie that goes along with it. You were right on the money with this analysis. I can't wait for you to react to hey you. To me that's one of the best guitars solos on the album. Great work as always.

“Mother did it need to be so high?” THE WALL! The wall she built around him. And it, literally, is a movie. The Wall, well worth the two hours it takes to watch it.

Now You Know Why Pink Floyd are the GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME (PERIOD)...🙏🫶🤘🫅🏻...!! And I was lucky enough to be at Earls Court in London October 1994 to see the Pulse Tour Concerts 😇😊🥳😳...The one's were you reacted to songs such as "Comfortably Numb " and "Sorrow " aswell as seeing them performing Shine On You Crazy Diamond, On The Turning Away, Time, Money, Great Gig in The Sky, Us and Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse, High Hopes, Wish You Were Here and of course Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) all of which you have reacted to on your Amazing RU-vid Channel Mark which I can't Thank You Enough For mate 🫶🤙✌️ And hope you keep reacting to many more INCREDIBLE PINK FLOYD BACK CATALOGUE..!! And a special thanks for playing all the tracks off Animals (ie) Dogs, Pigs and Sheep which is my all time favourite Floyd album 🎉 Thanks Again Martin from Liverpool

love this song .... The Wall Live from Berlin after the wall was torn down when Sinéad O'Connor sings this with Roger Watters was epic

Mother is everything to most everyone, but to hear this fucks you up. You got this and what a nightmare and a blessing. Thank you for the reaction!!

"Hey You"

Hey man I found this channel just now, you're great! Welcome to the Pink Floyd-addicted... great your reflections, like it, you touch it, love it! A BIG Floyd-Fan from their beginnings

I'm sure you'll get lots of 'advice' about how to hear and understand The Wall. However, do it your way. Yes, it's the daddy of all concept albums: part biographical, part fantasy - but the songs themselves mostly stand alone too. You don't have to listen to it as a whole, but that might aid understanding. Personally, I'd avoid advice to watch the film until you've heard it all as audio (up to you, obviously) and if after sating your thirst for songs from the album you need to know more, then listen to Roger Waters being interviewed by the late, great Thomas Vance where they discuss the album track by track. I'll message you with the link to the archived Friday Rock Show where this takes place (RU-vid won't let me post the link here). Have fun, it's a fabulous - if somewhat strange - album that was a big part of the soundtrack of my youth.

You must check out the Live version……..this is an ode to an over protective mother that had lasting negative effect

“She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing.” That line spurred a million guys of my generation to seek therapy. Holy crap. You never saw so many kids really hurt their moms by playing this for them over petty tantrums (and real ones). Seriously, a lot of kids I knew used this for channeling their suburban angst. Kinda creepy I know but somehow it’s still this gorgeous song. Floyd were Fuckers. :)

Great reaction you totally get the meaning of this song. This is my favorite song off of the Wall album although it breaks my heart. Mother Did it need to be so high😢. Although I think it did help me raise my daughters better.❤️✌️🌼

The entire lyrics of 'The Wall' were written by Roger Waters [ bass]. He would probably say that he wrote all of the music as well, but David would have words about that, and Richard, if he were still alive. A lot of Roger's lyrics are quite autobiographical, especially when it comes to his Father, who was killed in WWII in Italy, and Roger has never really forgiven the world for it. Growing up as the youngest of two boys, with a war widow Mother, it might well be that she seemed over -protective and cossetting. Roger usually has much to say on most topics, but this is about the only place where he has shown this particular aspect.

I really like you mate. Youve the Best reaction to pink floyd records. Cheers me up no end. Id imagine you find the reactions exhausting sometimes. I dont have adhd but i have always had crazy reactions to pink floyds music. Nothing can take you on such an emotional journey like floyd. Stay safe mate and keep on keeping on 🤝🤟

Oooooohhhhh! I’m so excited to see this! I love this song! Woot woot!

Time for some Pink Floyd!!!!💜💜💜🤗🤗🤗 Your intros are epic lol.

Your face 🤣🤣 Now I've watched it all, I love your reactions. They lighten whatever mood I am in.

Mother I think Hector liked this song

Had A quick skim of the comments, did not see this.... There is indeed a movie, you listening to the sound track....

You nailed it! You're becoming a real Floydian! Thanks for the great reaction.

Lol it's literally a movie!!! This song is a piece of the puzzle that tells the story. As someone who has struggled with mental health for most of my life, I can say that this whole album (and please, please) watch the film, has meant so much to me. Mainly because I have built my own "Wall".

Aaah I clicked your likes from 699 to 700. Love it when that happens because I'm a simpleton.

Great reaction , I almost watch every day to an Pink Floyd reaction from you. Can you ad 2 songs on your long list ? Pink Floyd - both from the album Ummagumma - Careful with that Axe, Eugene & Set the controls for the Heart of the Sun. Both can also be found Live at Pompeii video 1971

Great tune, Mark. 😎

"Hey You" from The Wall will blow your mind

"Mother did it need to be so high". He's talking about the wall she's built up around him.✌️

The video of this from The Wall tour is really great!

Pink Floyd - High Hopes from the Pulse live album.

I love this song. 😎

This is a cool song. 😎

The Wall is a continuous story. 👍 (and even links the last track back into the beginning of the first track ! ). You need to listen to the whole album to appreciate what's going on. Great reaction as always. 😎. Keep it up 👍

Ah, the 1980 live version is the best. With its extended solo! For best sound find the 'is there anybody out there?' Version (audio only)

“Ah fuck, that’s just like a movie.”’ lol, The Wall is literally a movie!! Watch it if you really want to understand this album. I recommend getting good and stoned first though. 😊🙏😊

When the singer asks his Mother, "did it have to be so high?" he is talking about the Wall he is building around himself to isolate him from everyone else.

Your reactions get better with every song

Hiya Mark, why don't you react to Roger Waters the front man of Pink Floyd who left the band in 1985 due to ego's and difference of opinions on the direction of the band. All Pink Floyd's lyrics are written by Roger Waters in every album from the beginning to classics like Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall..!! Anyways he went solo and his live concerts are incredible and mind-blowing (like when you watched Comfortably Numb Live in Earls Court The Pulse Tour) which I was lucky enough to be there but I saw Roger Waters in 2018 during his Us and Them World Tour (3yrs acres the World Tour) I saw him in Birmingham as couldn't get tickets for my home City Liverpool..!! Where Pink Floyd are God's..!! Watch Pigs (3 Different Ones) Roger Waters in Amsterdam off the live filmed concert for the DVD The Us and Them Tour..!! It will send your ADHD to Mars and back, the visuals are unbelievable and pure theatre..On the screens all around the Stadium are character chores of Donald Trump as Pigs is about the ruling tyrants of the world and their is also a giant flying Pig flying around the Stadium and Battersea Power Station built in the middle of the Stadium 200feet long and 200feet high which is on the cover of Animals by Pink Floyd which the song Pigs is on.. Please react to it Mark it will blow your mind I promise you

I'm not the biggest Dixie Chicks fan in the world, but Natalie Maines does an absolutely incredible version of this song

The Wall is a movie...actually a movie made after the album was released. I understand you can't go in order, but just be ready to read a novel by picking out random chapters in no particular order. You will miss its evolution. Going to be fun either way. That's how great the story is.

Awesome reaction!! And I cried again, on the first note of the solo...... oh well. I knew it. :)

Great reacttion and you worked it out. It's about a socially inadequate boy and his over protective mum who wants to keep him with her. There is a film of the album also called The Wall if you care to chec it out.

Yeah PF is a journey, lol, from musically sonic perfection and tone to emotional and sad to hopeful and spiritual to every other point in between, they a soul gripping roller coaster ride

As always Mark I loved the reaction. Where do you get all the energy from? You are really starting to get in sync with PF. Complete the Wall album and all the pieces will drop into place.

Awesome!!!! You just got to listen to a beautiful piece of beautiful big story, enjoy 😊

He says...... Of course mother's gonna help build a wall. Then at the end he says....... Mother did it need to be so high. Meaning the wall. They are brilliant

You are correct,,,,mother was over protective. 💥💥💥🤪

One of my favorite PF songs. But, they’re all my favorite PF songs.

Mama, did it need to be so high…..the Wall. Gotta watch the movie Heck!✌️😊🧿

She built the wall around him. He asks at the end. Mother, did it need to be so high?

You nailed it !

Awesome reaction as usual, thought ud like that one. The Wall was high btw

It IS a movie! The Wall!

God this song takes me back to getting high in the basement back in the day. Good thing I'm high now!

To answer the question you posed in your description: Why yes…… yes, she is. 😏

I'm not a hater of anyone. Except those that deserve it. I've grown up around people that are hyper, but in my day we all understood it, didn't stop us from liking them. That's something that's new and foreign to must of us that are older.

Great again🎉

You got the meaning, yes The Wall is a Masterpiece, like a Theatrical Musical, there is a whole movie about this album about Pinky and his life journey (a must watch movie), and note: this is not a song to dedicate to your mother on mother's day...

Yes, the soothing voice of Gilmour is the over-controlling mother. As a matter of fact the song is a lullaby, you can tell by listening the bass line (played by David here, like in 75% songs of this album). And yes, the rhythm section is the highlight of the track, helped by the precise drum of Jeff Porcaro (from the band ToTo) as a session musician. The "high" in the end is "the wall", too high for the kid Pink (played by Waters with his distinguished tone).

Favorite rock band Pink Floyd favorite rapper Tom MaccyD no wonder I love this channel so much

One of my all-time favorite tracks - gives me a boost in my butt crack too!

Love your work!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 My ALL TIME bestest band ever: PINK FLOYD. Period. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

this album is charged with tragic songs, but this one takes the prize. there is so much emotional subversion in this.
