Pink’s idea of replacing intimate relationships with shallow ones dissolves, at the end of this song, into the reality of his (still) vulnerable heart when he finds out that his wife is cheating on him. Pink cannot cancel himself; Pink cannot get rid of his humanity.
Here’s the link to the original song by Pink Floyd:
• Young Lust

Absolutely. I've listened to this album dozens of times. It took me a long time to come to my own understanding of it and get comfortable with it. I'm absolutely amazed that Virgin Rock has the same emotional reaction to little bits here and there that took me forever to identify within the larger context of the album. She is tuned in to the emotional palette as much as the musical. She has a very refined emotional understanding. What a rare treat to hear someone of her caliber listen for the first time to Pink fucking Floyd of all things! I'm giddy!

The song follows Mr Floyd on his trip to the United States, feeling the freedom to fill those empty spaces in a very superficial and typical way (as you described). At the end it is his attempts to call back to England collect to speak with his wife, only to have the calls refused by an unknown man, implying his wife is filling the empty spaces in exactly the same way.

The Wall is an opera. The story is about a performer "Pink" ( An amalgam of Syd Barret and Roger Waters ) Pink is on tour as a rock muscian. There have been too many concerts. Too many many hotels, too many drugs. He's lonely and tired. He's brought groupie to his room but she annoys him and he flys into a rage and frightens her away. Alone again he calls home to his wife in the UK to find a man answers his phone. Sinking into depression the events of his life pass in review. His father's death in the war. Over protective mother. Sadistic school masters. His manager bursts into the room and finding him comotose has a doctor inject him with the drugs to get him "going for the show" Under their influance he conjures his concert into a fascist rally. Finally putting himself on trial and summoning witnesses against himeslf, he convicts himself of having feelings. And sentences himself to having his feelings exposed to the world. This is a panorama of a man losing his mind in real time

To me, this showcases the best heights of Pink Floyd. That electric guitar deserves more comment, because those "licks" throughout are highly innovative but also soooooo expressive! Regardless of the lyrics we hear, the real inner turmoil just leaps out uncontrollably in the form of that guitar. The sound of it is simply BLAZING! That's when the band truly reaches its finest moments. It's been said that he's not a full virtuoso (doesn't play "fast enough" to be one) but, man, how many guitarists create unique sounds like this with such feeling, such passion, such strength just leaping out of the speakers to grab and shake the listener? One of the most distinctive aspects of the band and what they accomplished! 😃

@@godbeIess Yeah, well, he certainly was THEN. After Amused to Death he kind of disappeared and from what he says in interviews he spent a lot of time golfing and NOT working. But thats only half true, if you actually get into a lot of the interviews he actually isn't THAT much of a perfectionist, but he certainly fought for his vision. But in many cases he talked about the concessions he made, MANY of them for hte better because David was right in that he wasn't the greatest 'song' writer. The Wall was originally a 90 minute poem that was all going to be one song and didnt have MOST of the biggest songs on it. Pros and Cons frankly I think I listened to once and never again, The Final Cut is easily my least favourite. I like Radio KAOS more than it, but Amused to Death to me outranks ALL Pink Floyd stuff in terms of depth and artistry, and frankly I can't even listen to it for pleasure, it really is like a work of art. But I agree, in every band they need somebody to push them forward, and Roger kind of got hated for being that guy. But I have no doubts that he was also a douchebag:) But there's no doubt we all benefitted from it, there's a reason Pink Floyd is just Pink Floyd, its beyond rock and roll, its almost like a work of art in itself.

Pink is trying to break from his inhibition that is a result of his mother's warning about women in the world. His 'wall' is like a ball and chain to him. His empty marriage is leaving him vessel that is searching for meaning and emotion. He's totally lost. His attempting to call his wife back in England, and she is with another (who answers the phone and hangs up) He's devastated . . . but a frustrated wife will find an emotional connection elsewhere. Pink's psychosis builds !

One of my favorite attributes of David Gilmour's guitar talent is pulling overtones out of the strings at will. The guitar solo here highlights that. The phone call is primarily the overseas operator trying to connect a call from Pink (Mr. Floyd) to his wife. The operator is shocked that a man answers at the Floyd household.

When you say "a strange set of voices" as the chorus kicked in, it's David Gilmour & Roger Waters singing simultaneously into the same microphone, as was often done in live performances in those days for harmonies, but rarely done in studio. Gilmour has a much more powerful and less pitchy singing voice than Roger, so despite singing the part in the lower register, his voice manages to bury the higher harmony sung by Roger.

I watched the In-depth first and well, I am one of the ones who asked in comments if The Wall project had been abandoned. I wasn't aware that you gave birth to a baby and yes, certainly that is a little more pressing and important than over viewing a Pink Floyd song. Amy, you do put a lot of effort and dedication into making your videos and don't think that it goes unnoticed or not appreciated, it is why we watch and thoroughly enjoy your videos. And your channel has grown quite impressively in a short time and we thank you. I don't experience this song as odd or a bit unfitting in the album musically, I guess that I know most Pink Floyd albums so well that a certain variety is expected, for instance if we look at the "Darkside of the moon" album and put two songs, "Great gig in the sky" and "Time" next to each other, they are shockingly different in...every conceivable way. You are right on in your analysis of the function of this song in the story and the placement of this song on the album is keen on so many levels of creating a great album in commercial music. About David Gilmoure's guitar solo, I wonder if instead of consciously working in the album's music motives, inverting them and repeating/referencing certain notes of the singing, Gilmoure wasn't rather just picking notes within a few scales that he was playing in. Anyway, it's all great stuff.

This is a great song but I love that ending. 'Is there somebody else there besides your wife?'.

I hope you get a chance to watch the Live at Pompeii performances of some of their most epic material. With no audience there is more focus on the band and you get to see how they create the sounds they do. Regular concerts are dwarfed by the special effects and light show so you don't get to see much of the hands at work.

Dear Amy. Thank you so much for sharing your fascinating and inspiring journey. I greatly value your insightful, thoughtful presentation and especially your willingness to let us experience pauses as you consider your thoughts. I wonder if, for your next project, you may consider sharing your favourite classical pieces and explaining why you love them? I'm glad that you are acclimatising to the sound of the electric guitar which in rock is often deliberately distorted. The emotional palette of the electric guitar is far broader than the anger, violence and malevolence heard in most heavy rock. I’m intrigued to know whether, when you reach ‘Comfortably Numb’ in your journey over ‘The Wall’, you find yourself being moved by its two guitar solos, both of which are widely recognised to be the most moving ever recorded. I am sure that you have many rock tracks lined up . . . but if you have time, I would love to hear your reaction to the following rock music that I have chosen as a function of its ability to create unique sonic worlds. The tracks also serve to further reinforce a fact that I’m guessing you have realised: that the sonic palette and emotional depth of ‘Rock’ music is extraordinary. The art form created by the invention of multitrack recording and sound synthesis/processing technologies is as magical as the technology it utilises. Here is the list: Kate Bush: The Ninth Wave (the seven song emotional journey that was ‘side 2’ of her album ‘Hounds of Love’ 1985) The Blue Nile: A Walk Across the Rooftops (an extraordinary soundscape and a beautiful song from the album of the same name 1984). Talk Talk: The Rainbow (a set of three extraordinary songs/soundscapes from the album ‘Spirit of Eden’ 1988) Radiohead: Pyramid Song (a band capable of creating unique sonic worlds, from the album ’Amnesiac’ 2001) Japan: Ghosts (a beautiful song produced with the Prophet V synthesiser from the album ‘Tin Drum’ 1981) Thank you again Amy.

1:55 Over here, David and Roger combine voices to give us that iconic sound. If you haven't already, check out their live version of Young Lust because they both sing in one mic to get that sound.

I'm sure there's a term for it, but I don't just hear music, I feel it with every fiber of my being. Every note, every instrument, every vocal nuance (so much so that it's very difficult for me to sleep with music playing- even soft music is stimulating). I cannot listen to music and be still....some part of me is keeping time or a rhythm, even if just a finger or toe. It didn't really surprise me to learn that I have cousins who hear music in colors, or shapes. Amy discusses music the way I experience it....broken down into separate pieces, and as a whole. And her explanations have helped me understand how and why certain music moves me down to my soul even more than other music.

I always interpreted the underlying rhythm of the Empty Spaces to be that unstoppable, industrial, relentless psychological process of the wall being built. It is constant and cannot be stopped. Like a war --- the decision has been made. The overlying guitar is Pink's pain and resolution with his decision to complete the wall. His wife's infidelity is the last impetus needed for Pink to finish his grand opus of isolation. His attempt to avoid dealing with trauma. An attempt that must inevitably fail. Young Lust is sexual anger and exploitation. There is no love inside the wall. My compliments Virgin Rock. I am completely absorbed in your work. You make theory fun, which is the rarest of talents. I am eagerly awaiting your reaction to "Run Like Hell" and also the entire courtroom and trial section. Heavy Stuff. Peace, Steve..

The correct title for this song is Mummy Lust. I don't know when the change happened but it was originally released as Mummy Lust, not Young Lust. I still have the vinyl and original CD with the original title.

At last! Patiently have I waited for this next installment. This is a very big brick in the wall for Pink when he hears the other man answering his phone back home. The operator who places the call for him, as the story was told to me, did the part in one take off the top of her head. PF liked it so much they used it. It's fantastic how callously she delivers the call. He is shattered!

The song is about Pink touring the States & having a wild time. He then phones his wife who he left alone, back in England, (A collect call from Mr Floyd to Mrs Floyd from the US.) However the phone is being answered by a strange man.

Very good guitar solos (and Gilmour's were very good) will often take the vocal melody and elaborate and embellish on it. Mr Floyd (Pink) is calling home from the US, expecting to reach his wife, but a man picks up and just hangs up - and the operator says to Pink 'he hung up, there must be somebody else there". They actually used real operators for the call and it took a couple of tries before they got an operator who really reacted the way they were looking for.

Trying to dissect a single song from Pink Floyd post Dark Side Of The Moon especially a single song from The Wall, would be akin to annualizing a random chapter from a book. The Beatles might have "created" the Concept Album.... But Pink Floyd became the masters. A normal album a single song is a single story and by definition a concept is an album featuring a cycle of songs expressing a particular theme or idea. As for the guitarist David Gilmour. I believe is was in Guitar World there was a article on how he would create a solo and then work it out on a black board mathematically so that is why his "solos" standout and sound the way they do. True or not the man is an incredible creative genius. As for the chorus. Pink Floyd became the masters of multi-track recording and layering. So what you're hearing is not only the lead and a backing singer doing the "Ooh, I need a dirty woman" but them selves stacked plus whatever other effects they added to the mix. Honestly, if you really want to enjoy this band, you have to sit down, empty your mind and listen to the complete album from first note to the last. Friends and I after the sun goes down sitting fireside a Pink Floyd album is put on with several speakers aimed towards us from outside our sitting area and it is left to play. The sounds just fill the air

I think watching the movie will help to answer some of the missing bits, like the phone call at the end. The phone call is Mr Floyd calling home from wherever he is trying to reach Mrs Floyd. The operator is unable to reach Mrs Floyd, a man answered the call instead.

I never felt any urge while hearing this in Argentina in the 80s to find out who Mr Floyd or Mrs Floyd was or who was the girl talking (on the next track) or where or in what hotel room was anything happening script-wise - but was just mesmerized by the mad juxtaposition of music and sounds (that palette of wildly contrasting elements you mentioned, not just musically but sonorally) which spelled ALIENATION in huge print all across my brain - at the end of "Young lust" the contrast between the unhinged shattering piece of brutal rock still happily demolishing away superimposed by the impersonal sounds of the phone rings and the monotonous bored tone of phone operators repeating innane technocratic disclosures (made even more impersonal by the repeated formula of the mrs and mrs Floyd) with the ending disconnected or dropped call followed by a haunting ringtone when NOBODY ANSWERS or refuses to answer trailing into the void (the different ring-tones by the way also in their own shiny futurist distopic scenario way aurally appealing as in science-fiction) and in "One of my turns" the disemboweled voice of the vapid Valley girl type gurgling out her fake exitment to the eerie silence of a TV set blaring (can there be more disconnection?) trailing on and off - at one point apparently drowned on the void of an echo chamber (bathroom?) all against the menacing shifting bass synth sounds out of a terror film and suddenly resolving itself in a startling close up of "are you feeling ok?" - one of the most eerie recordings I ever heard if u ask me) - and that unsettling question followed by the unannounced start of the voice- which in turns equally startling (with a piercing howl-cry) morphs into another shattering rock piece, full of mad backround screams or howls, shattered glass breaking into smitherings, and all kind of deranged rock&roll power antics, to be stopped by the silence and the hawrrowing "why are u running away" as the cry of the dammned extended into the infinite empty space - talk about rock being unsettling! (by the way both the Valley girl accent and the American matron's accent of the phone operator also spell "American middle class" all over, with all its innane connotations for mentality of the 60s 70s and the added factor of how a Brit reacts to tipical Americaness (remembering this is Pink Floyd a Brit act). As I said, music, lyrics, sound effects creating such contrasts in the palette convey to me nevertheless a unified atmosphere or tone or spirit that is maintained throughout the album, part of its greatness (who/what/how to explain each and every sound or lyric? As in great art, there is no need - the message is conveyed - an atmosphere, a whole world of distopia..) - great, great reactions on your part!

These are great, although a little weird in seeing somebody who reminds my of my grade school music teacher talking about 'young lust'. On an unrelated note for those who don't know, this is actually Roger Waters personal experience. On another sort of unrelated note I was reading a bio of Rush's Neil Peart who loved The Wall so much he wrote to Roger to thank him personally for writing so well on the 'loneliness of being a rock star' and especially the loneliness of touring. I like staying in hotel rooms but that life just sounds horrible to me, I don't know how ANY rock star could stay sane doing that for long periods at a time. On another unrelated anecdote, thats why Robbie Robertson asked The Band to not go on tour in the eighties because he didn't think Richard Manual would survive it, and sadly he didn't. It sounds glamourous to a lot of people, and to be fair there are musicians who love it, but it can also take a toll. It clearly did not help Roger any. The stories of RUSH were that they basically sat in their hotel rooms and read books. Phil Collins says it cost him a couple of marriages but then Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks from Genesis are still on wives number one so I don't think you can just chalk it up to that.

@@JF-iq1yx Yeah, apparantly Neil contacted Roger to play drums on his wall concert in Berlin. They already had, I forget his name, but a pretty big time drummer, but part of me always wondered whether Roger or some of these british guys and were a little leery of a guy who could drum better then Phil Collins (ok, thats biased) but could write lyrics as well as any of them, and a lot MORE of them. Thats just a thought that occurred to me though. I think his actual letter is in a Rolling Stones article but you have to pay to access it. I wonder if he got a response.

Yesterday I kinda got in a back to back argument with a guy who genuinely thought Pink Floyd's one of the most overrated band in music history. But they never ceases to amaze me after all these years with their meticulous arrangements and designed to minute details to fit a particular songs while staying true to their niche or Genre is just out of this world amazing.Oh btw I just love your insights in to these very different and varying types of music.Its a breathe of fresh air seeing you.you genuinely seem to enjoy different genres of music apart from your own speciality and not condescending and trashing other types which many classical musicians often treat them as inferior and tend to over simplify other genres.Anyway I'm glad I found your channel which Ive seen a couple of your vids now and I'll gladly continue to do so
