I remember listening to this for the first time, just after it’s release. My cousin Shawn bought it first and we sat in his room for the weekend listening to it over and over on the turntable . A portable at that . It was MAGIC . Like that feeling , you know , like your thinking has changed and your mind has opened . It’s Pink Floyd all the time.
"When i was a child i caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb." Has to be one of the most beautiful parts of a song ever written.
My brothers favorite band was pink Floyd. He went to heaven on 3/22/16, 23 years old. This reminds me of him so much, my heart hurts. Fly high Jacob. We will be together again 💙 I love you brother. Never give up
My Father sounds just like David Gilmour when he sings and he can play all the Pink Floyd songs on his guitar 🎸 totally awesome 👏 he got me into Pink Floyd, thank you Daddy ❤️
Buy the album. Buy a record player. Put it on. Turn it up to maximum. Lay on the floor in the exact centre. Close your eyes and experience Pink Floyd the way it truly should be experienced. It will blow your mind
I have probably watched the movie close to 100 times. A friend had it on laser disc when it came out and we watched over and over through our high school days and I have a digital copy and continue watching it a couple of times a year even now. So amazing.
We were shown the movie in high school back in 87. Psychology class, late afternoon. Had to analyze the character. Maybe some acid passed around. Those who MIGHT have taken it had aced the exam.
Pink floyd are the greatest composers of this era.... And roger waters specifically is one of the greatest writers of all time, he showed alot of us that it is ok to feel the pain. Does anybody else in here feel the way i do?
this album changed my life, what a great album. best line of the album does anyone in hear feal the way I do, wow the sense of loneliness and despair in that line really heavy.shame I didn't truly understand "comfortablely numb" as a kid. at 44 I get it now and unfortunately have achieved it.
Its true at some point u go numb and its painful, but then eventually from so much constant pain, the pain becomes numb too, and your comfortable with it. Comfortably Numb. We haven't achieved it brother, weve been cursed with it.
Has anyone else made such deeply sad and moving music? Easily one of the best albums and works of art of all time. 70s and 80s were such creative times. This story is a great portrait of the life of an artist and what they have to go through. It will be lost on many people.
+PlanTonto It's a cool little piece of history, but it kinda bummed me out when I learned that she was real. I'd rather imagine her as the Soldier's love interest pre-war, who had long since moved on with her life, in contrast to the armed forces, who returned to find an unfamiliar world and unfamiliar people.
Watched this film for the first time when I was 9 or 10. No other music has ever come close to breaking my shell like this album . Love Is All We Need - JL
When I was 16 me & my then girlfriend would lay together in a Christmas light lit room listening to The Wall while the snow fell outside. I'm 40 years now and even though it was a lifetime ago it still feels like yesterday somehow.
Thirteen channels of... Roger Waters is such an underrated lyricist. Incredible lyrics with no pretension. Appealing to the mind as much as it goes right to the gut. An incredible harmony of mind and pure feeling. Thanks, man. It's more appreciated and loved than we could ever say.
I just got a little black book with poems written on the cover tattooed on my hand. Probably the strongest tie emotionally out of all my other tattoos. These 4 songs on repeat for hours with my father fixing the house up on weekends. Some of the happiest times in my life…
also seen Water's in 2018 in Glasgow Scotland my home city our seats were in the 9th row a surprise for my 50th from my partner and my daughters what a show old Roger put on best live act I've ever seen apart from seeing Floyd in 88 and 94 awesome live great memories ❤😂
My mother introduced me Pink Floyd music when I was a little child. I remember she enjoyed the elicopter part very much. During my teenage years she bought the DVD and I fell in love with the band more. Now I'm listening to them alone, 'cause my mother died to breast cancer two years ago. Every song reminds me of her, every little moment we sang and dance these wondeful songs. Can't stop to cry. Sorry for my bad english. Love to all.
Listen, this is easily the best 4 track run on The Wall, and I won’t be hearing any arguments to the contrary. Having said that, I’d like to nominate Nobody Home as one of the most beautiful/haunting songs ever put to track. It stands out on this album, which is wild if you think about it, considering how many other absolute bangers are in the track list. I can quite literally weep at how gorgeously bittersweet Nobody Home is. I just had to put that out there. Love y’all.
Nobody Home : I've got a little black book with my poems in Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in I got elastic bands keepin' my shoes on Got those swollen-hand blues I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from I've got electric light And I've got second sight I got amazing powers of observation And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There'll be nobody home I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm And the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favorite satin shirt I've got nicotine stains on my fingers I've got a silver spoon on a chain Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains I've got wild staring eyes And I've got a strong urge to fly But I got nowhere to fly to Ooh, babe when I pick up the phone there's still nobody home I've got a pair of Gohills boots But I got fading roots Vera: Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that We would meet again Some sunny day? Vera, Vera What has become of you Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do? Bring the Boys Back Home : Bring the boys back home Bring the boys back home Don't leave the children on their own, no, no Bring the boys back home Wrong, do it again Time to go Are you feeling okay? There's a man answering, but he keeps hanging up Is there anybody out there? Comfortably Numb : Hello. Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home? Come on, now. I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again. Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts, Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ships smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I cant hear what you're sayin'. When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I got that feeling once again. I cant explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. Ok. Just a little pinprick. [ping] There'll be no more Ah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do…
Man through the years Pink Floyd really has been a great roller coaster. Even if I never had the chance to see them live. Edit. I got to see Roger Waters live in Copenhagen, Royal Arena, 2023. Loved it.
@@hyedenny she's a British singer who sang White Cliffs of Dover I think that was the name of this song among others during World War II if she is alive and I think she is she would probably be about 100 years old
Going through some of the many comments on here, there is no doubt that Pink Floyd was a big part of everybody's childhood. It can be for many reasons but like you, I grew through Pink Floyd . The album chosen on any given day, had to match my mood. If we, are all a brick in the wall, I'm afraid it is about to crumble in 2020.
Very nice, I don't know who still finds comfort in the trip this song will take you too, but it is a journey of thought and music. Should watch the movie.
Thank you for posting this. This is the crux of The Wall. A masterpiece of an album, esp. this group of four. And maybe strangely, Vera is my favorite song on the album!
nobody's home song ache's to me of that feeling of total isolation, hopelessness , spirit almost extinguished , but way down there deep inside there's a spark fighting to GET UP DO something rise up, be the best you can. took 30 years but finally found that light. NEVER GIVE UP.
This set of songs is the statement of the album, and maybe the anthem of a generation torn by war, but like great works of art, it reaches cross-culturally and transcends all time periods, speaking to the universal human experience of loss and alienation. For that alone, whatever you have to say about Roger Waters, and there's a lot to dislike, Floyd's greatest contribution to music and our lives was after Syd Barrett and before the Gilmore takeover. I adore PIPER; there will be nothing like it, but that band was volatile. The Waters/Gilmore collaboration was our great fortune as listeners, but it had to end, and not everyone can make up and be friends again, and maybe never even speak to each other again. This need to dig into biography and hearsay don't add to the music one bit. We shouldn't deify artists, anyway, but love or hate their work, and then learn to appreciate it beyond our opinions. Recorded or downloaded music is a great gift. Let's be thankful we can enjoy it.
Interestingly, Vera may well outlive you guys! So don't make assumptions......Vera is 100 years old next March and is held affectionately in many people's hearts.
Desde muito jovem comecei a ouvir Pink Floyd desde esse dia até agora nunca deixei de os ouvir. Já os vi 2 vezes ao vivo e é dos melhores consertos que vi até hoje. É indiscritivel tanto em efeitos especiais como todo o resto. É das melhores bandas que existem até hoje. Nunca deixei de os ouvir. As letras são do melhor. Roger e David amo-vos do fundo do meu coração. Não acabem por favor. Já bastou a saída do Roger Watters, mas que a solo é espetacular na mesma. David continua não deixes acabar os Pink Floyd. Vocês são demais
Second half of the wall is much more deep cutting than the first half. As much as I love this album, the first half drags on. The emotion of dealing with the wall is more compelling than the bricks that built it.
