THE WALL

1. In the Flesh? for the pharaonic intro, the grandiloquent sound, the organ of time, the drum roll, this already raging guitar; listen to these choirs, listen to Bob haranguing, in short yes I am in the film in fact; go for a little plane ride before the crash because yes it starts, it flies hard 2. The Thin Ice does not cry, mom is there and the piano plays reassuring notes with a solemn air, let's note the stereo effort, ideal for calibrating your chain; percussive hop pad, heavy solo, yes Gilmour as God of prog which brings us to 3. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1 arriving like a first wave, pregnant bass, dark air, a squirt of solo and the male choir in front; but it is just a wall yet not enough to tremble; wailing wall, schizoid wall of the pathogenic mother; the bass makes you think, go to the playground to play without the protective father, yes this bass, yes this guitar, this organ, latency at its peak 4. The Happiest Days of Our Lives with the helicopter passing by.. a musical Apocalypse Now with this Munch scream and 5. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 the radio edit that was played on the airwaves, nothing to do with the atmosphere of the album... A time when some only knew that about PINK FLOYD, an ungrateful world; the metronomic sound, ideal for going to the slaughterhouse, to live without a soul, to be numbered, penned in, insignificant, in short an indictment against war, madness, the world. David's solo, one of the most beautiful to be played on these airwaves with Richard's organ; we can't explain this title! 6. Mother arrives, let's blow, a Wish tune in fact; consensual title where I wait for the guitar solo, a beautiful lullaby tune, moving and heartbreaking with the piano and the sovereign hit, 7. Goodbye Blue Sky and the second intro in fact, from the time when they were faces, the moment when the dark, apocalyptic comic strip came to strike in the film; in short a delicate air on an end-of-the-world keyboard, terribly brilliant 8. Empty Spaces follows, the erotic-sado-mortiferous drawing for one of the most dreamlike pieces there is, the bird of the Reich in the distance, no I didn't say it, this stupid war, this cry coming from the heart, this abject world in which we are well presently, 9. Young Lust bids by keeping the post-nuclear, dirty rhythm, the one where before dying man still wants to try to sow his seed for lack of bullets; a hard rock tone that showed the evolution of the group at the end of the decade, despite the musicians' cries to confront each other, again and again, in short the concept continues 10. One of My Turns for the door slamming, adjust your speakers, for Pink's despair, madness falls on everyone; a boosted indictment with the film version with its final cinematic lot and a beginning of hope for the cheerful tone, we smile at all this misfortune 11. Don't Leave Me Now and the Wallian Floydian atmosphere continues, latent expectation... the voice in the distance, the echoing piano, the sudden rise with this languid chorus, the voiceovers, the scream and 12. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3 for the reprise with a big bang, the pad and the aggressive guitar, hard I'm writing to you; the drums with this pad yes worthy of being played on the airwaves 13. Goodbye Cruel World and the return to the end of the 1st chapter, distressing observation of this cruel world, I warned you, solemn church tone, sad, funeral march.

1. Hey You hop... yes I went to put CD2 in the record player... hey you didn't know that? Acoustic and vibraphone then Nick having fun, rolling pads; the return of this Wallian wave with the guitar surfing on the gloomy, dark atmosphere of the story, a consensual title that is worth as an introduction, and the final entry into the Pinkian world 2. Is There Anybody Out There! with the cinematic interlude, yes PINK FLOYD must have been one of the initiators, dark, tense air, redundant voice, suspicious noises and the acoustic that reels off with flute and waves in the distance, a bit of 'forbidden games'; in fact 3. Nobody Home with its majestic horn, its latency, 4. Vera with its machine gun bringing you irremediably closer to the wall with its warm organ and 5. Bring the Boys Back Home with its entrance at the station without the possibility of hugging your dad, this passage will always make me shiver and cry like a kid; well these choirs, this orchestration, this desire to see the Happy End, are only the prequel to the magnificent finale that is 6. Comfortably Numb with its door knocking that wakes you up and tells you that the story will not be that one; the slow Wallian, the piece that described David's solo as one of the most expressive in the world of rock; this haunting air in two times, this enjoyable rise, these violins, prog rock at its peak; what else to write... that he who has not yet listened in his life will not go to the musical Paradise that's all, come on let's listen together... that's it after we can die happy 7. The Show Must Go On with this outro that will last one side or how to definitively enter the world, in the Wallian show and its legendary madness; a jazzy air, not rock, not Floydian, the haunting and catchy choirs, in short the show is on 8. In the Flesh yes we are well in it there, the pharaonic intro, the one of the departure, the wink to a show that we would not want to see anymore, the grandiloquent sound, the organ of time, the roll of drums, this already raging guitar; enter the arena, listen to these choirs, listen to Bob who harangues, in short yes I am in the film in fact... hey it's funny I wrote like for the first title in fact, coincidence?; well put it against the wall and let's get it over with, the excessive grandiloquence is there behind your ears, for me it will be the organ to swoon 9. Run Like Hell .. the lights, lasers, the concert in the film begins, ah those syncopated boot noises, yes it moves forward with those voices that twist in my head; the military rhythm, the riff that gets lost, this expressive pad in redundancy, avant-garde; good ratonnade or not, the visual is scary 10. Waiting for the Worms continues, in fact everything is intertwined; a soft tone then struck with the start of the indictment... rolling pad and off we go, again, progressive enjoyable redundancy... 'waiting', megaphone and the martial air that swells even more; the break to better start again and the crushing machine of the soldier, of the child gets back on track; I still shiver for this insane rise; phew 11. Stop to settle down before 12. The Trial, yes this gargantuan, absurd, headless, extravagant and devilishly expressive tribunal; a moment that best explains the pain of the child caught in the web, in the maternal schizophrenic wall; but yes ladies ask yourselves the question; trumpet and the magister who adds another layer, ah the orchestration can take out its wind apparatus; crazy you are simply crazy; to listen to this album, to read, to know that this end is inevitable; yes the final violence comes to light; the wall explodes, falls demolished, yes but 13. Outside the Wall means that you are now on the other side, walled up forever and this haunting, viscous, schizoid music will remind you of it forever, happy end you are inside, forever.
