11/12/2022 0 Comments Pink floyd the wall album lyricsThat’s all I have time for today, so take a listen to that (probably pirated) Youtube video above and I’ll see you all next week. It truly is a bittersweet story, one that I highly recommend you all take the time out of your day to experience. Pink Floyd expresses this notion by telling us the story of a rock star’s fall from grace, losing everything he holds dear while trying to push away all the pain in his life with indifference. Like I said earlier the album does it’s best to convey the idea that stress in our lives can lead to us isolating ourselves away from the world, sort of like building a wall separating us from reality. Now I could easily spend three more posts on either the opera or concept half, but I’ll try to give you the key points. That’s right: it’s a rock opera inside of concept album. You see, both of these factors support each other in the album’s climb to dizzying heights of success. It also doesn’t get it’s acclaim from clever lyrics detailing the sobering story of loss and heartbreak of everyone’s favorite fictional rock star (his name is literally Pink Floyd). You see, The Wall doesn’t gain it’s popularity from the fact that it is a concept album based around the idea of isolation and abandonment set to catchy tunes and sophisticated stylizing of music. But what makes this album so prolific? Is it the blending of psychedelic and English progressive rock? Is it the haunting lyrics which actually cause you to think? Is there some inherit value on anything Roger Waters produces (the answer is yes)? You could probably come up with a million different reasons for why this album sold like crazy, but let me break it down for you my way. Whether you realize it or not you have at some point in your life heard a tune from this very record, whether it be “Another Brick in the Wall” or “Comfortably Numb”. Released in 1979 this firecracker of an album soon exploded into critical acclaim, reaching platinum certification 23 times by 1999 and holding a place as one of the most sold albums in the United States to this day.
