Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high
As you can see
No matter how he tried
He could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

"Isn't it unsafe to travel at night?"
"It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. You're father's gonna pick up our trail before long."

"Yeah, I can ride. Magaret, time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything."

Des frissons dans le dos ! Un double album de rêve
Agreed, I think!? This is a dream double album and for me it still can send shivers down my spine too - the album is a 10 and each track is part of that 10. Long Live RP and music sending shivers down spines!!
Truly a great band but sooooo overplayed back in my terrestrial AOR station days. So they are hard for me to listen to.
But this is a fantastic song.
I do get the "overplayed back in the day" thing that I occasionally hear about some songs here, but when I was listening to some of these songs forty years ago, stoned and with people talking in a room or a car, I don't think I got as much of an impact from the music as I do listening at this time of my life in my music space, with the FLAC on. :-)
But this is a fantastic song.
another "too cool for the room" douche bag
the wiseking is not so wise
Can you imagine this now, getting anywhere near the charts?
I can't.
Those times really were the glory days of creativity - not because there isn't any now - but because back then, anything was allowed.
Artists were given vast sums of money to "go and create" - they could completely give up their day jobs and focus all their creativity on production of music.
Ok, sure, only ONE of the songs from "The Wall" hit the charts, but heck, for an "art band" to achieve that? - A, by then, old band now considered "prog rock" ?
Sure, before this, it's not as if Pink Floyd hadn't already made a mark, but didn't this ever seal that deal? - forever a seminal marker in music history.
My first experience with Pink Floyd, was age 11 at a school disco, shouting at the teachers at the other end of the dance floor "We don't need no education"
I had zero understanding of what I was doing really, but over the years, Pink Floyd and me, we got close. Roger never calls though - sad times.
I hate this song!
Skip!
Do you feel validated now? Better for having offloaded that?
Maybe you had to hear this as a teenager to really get/feel this song. I remember this summed up all of the angst and everything I didn't understand as a teenager - which was a lot!
I hate this song!
Skip!
It's not that I hate it, it's just that it was sooooooo overplayed during the days of my youth, listening to crappy AOR stations. I just don't need to hear it again. And I won't rate it, I know it's a great song from a great album. Just not for me.
I hate this song!
Skip!
I love informative comments like this.
Especially when you learn something you never knew about a song!

Think about this for a moment: there are 40 people out there that rated this a 1-sucko-barfo.....
I wonder what those folks consider not "great" music, but just "good".....
Why care how any stranger on the internet rates a song on RP... Enjoy the music and move on. And in case someone get to a song they don't like -- there is always the skip button. No need to pour drama into the thread. Just saying -- generally speaking.
here comes Pink Floyd to ruin an otherwise fine day
Here comes a twazzock to ruin an otherwise fine thread.
And I gave you thumbs down as it's 10 because it's pink fucking floyd.
Whatever dude
No, they are "the kind" who don't like PF. Quit being so snobbish
People who don’t like pink floyd have something wrong with them, but yeah i am a snob for good music
They are the kind who like iHeartRadio or just listen to the same crap on commercial radio all day

I've thought about this, and I think "those folks" have every right to mark this down to 1. PF are a band, not a cult, and they've put out some turkeys in their time. The Wall IMO rates as a double-album sized gobbler, literally self-indulgent - I know, I listened to it for many years until Roger Waters' poor little rock star whining got on my tits.
They put out great
music - WYWH is a brilliant classic - but that doesn't mean that their entire oeuvre is great, and certainly not that anyone who thinks it sucks is a culturally deficient listener.
My rating is now 8 going down to 6
I will alert the New York Times.

it's a 10 from a 10 rated album and only my 3rd favorite PF album at that. Or 4th...Animals might beat it slightly.
Long Live RP!!
I think i might be with you there...WYWH, DSOTM, Animals, or The Wall !?

This is a great tune from The Wall.
Divided we fall.
beautiful
I am guilty of that myself.
Pink Floyd are like The Beatles.
Where would we be without them..........I wonder.
Thankfully I was lucky to see them once. Animals tour. Etched into my psyche still.

ditto
a lot of 'artists' get slammed for just being shills for the corporate recording industry
Pink Floyd is the CEO of that predictable genre
.
(imho, not to being taken as a comment on PF fans)
Seriously? Totally disagree but I guess each to their owns opinion. Shills? Not even close.

Everybody in my mushrooming multitude of churches loves this song from one of the greatest albums of all time...
That's inconsistent of you - you did give "Fearless" a 9 after all. Did you no know it was Pink Floyd when you were enjoying it at the time?

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Agreed. "The Wall" quickly became another brick in the FM radio wall.
Yeah, but they sure put on one hell of a good show.
In fact, I don't know of any other band that has a higher bar for a live show.
But then again, I like PF ...
Don't feed the troll - leave him for a billygoat (or maybe a big floating pig) to settle his hash.
I disagree with you but nonetheless find your comment funny!

David Gilmour from Pink Floyd by ~Araen
So, finally, a Dave Gilmour. I didn't draw him so far. It would have been appropriate long ago that I give him place here.
Ahhh, and the scanner killed this picture. There is a lot more detail on it.
Update:
Finally I'm able to change this with a digital photo... whew. Dark a bit, but more detailed
Who's that?
Rose Pilchitt.

Looking for a bass player who doesn't always write songs about his dad.
bump
for that matter,one thing is for sure,the Radio Paradise community will fall !
"Together we stand ,,,,, "
Same for me, don't like this album at all. But this song, just reminds me of good times arguing (for hours!) with friends who all loved this album. So, at the end, this was the song they would play as it was time for me to part. Didn't fall though...
Now Queen I am out of here!
I love this track.
I love this album.
It may not be the best record the band came out with.
But I think it is arguably the best produced album of all time.
It has so many layers and textures that flow seamlessly from one song to the next.
It's a masterwork!

Before Rick Wright passed, there was a MySpace page that was ostensibly his. On it he had a personal that read:

more soulless tedium from the void
Overstated perhaps, but I would offer that they are one of the most overplayed and over-rated bands. To each their own.
Pink Floyd - Hey You
The Durutti Column - Requiem For Mother
The Cure - Lullaby
The Audreys - Lay Me Down
Portishead - The Rip
Unkle - Reign
Vienna Teng - In Another Life
Very nice group - I just LOVE that Portishead - I think I'll go and rate it.
Deja vu and already said from the same location .... better check my watch and calendar

And the worms ate into his brain....
I do! In fact, I was listening to it last night. And, I might add, enjoying it just as much as I did when it first came out.
moi aussi, I listen to it in full, often. it pains me to stop in the middle actually... such an unfinished gestalt.
. . . perhaps you should avoid the void that is the Floyd . . .
more soulless tedium from the void
Takes one to know one
more soulless tedium from the void
Soulless? maybe over played, but I can feel plenty of emotion in this track.
more soulless tedium from the void
Sure it is.
If that is a worthless adolescent driveling contribution then I shudder to think what some of the others here are...
Well put.
You're almost right. The movie was released about two years later than the album, but could easily have been compiled as a music soundtrack with no changes.
The reason The Wall may be difficult to listen to is that it is a soundtrack to the film, no?
I remember being thrown by the Beatles' Help LP; how weird and different and unlistenable it was... because every other track was a weird orchstrated interlude that only had meaning when watching the film.
Same thing with The Wall, I always found.
(My worthless adolescent drivelling conribution.)
so the ultimate question then is, "do you want a freakin' medal for your feeble effort or a freakin' chest to pin it on?" Some of us still actually have our memory (but I guess yours was forfeited at woodstock, don't tell me, you ate the "brown acid," right?)
Was this reponse necessary?
Hey presto, by the magic of the Internet and clicking the Wikipedia button above it took me all of 15 seconds to copy this
Released | 30 November 1979 (UK) 8 December 1979 (U.S.) |

Actually it was 1980, because I listened to it for most of that year. (with the possibility of late '79 also being correct).

Late '79. November or December as I recall.

Good caveat, since indeed it was late '79 :)

Pink Floyd made some great, great music about individual isolation and alienation from society but as Roger Waters took over the band, its music lost a lot beauty, charm and mystery. Listening to Dark Side of the Moon from beginning to end is easy. Who listens to the even half of The Wall in one go?
