I found your reference to Kurt Weil very interesting. Personally, listening to "The Trial" I very much associated, both musically and dramatically, to the scene/song "Trial Before Pilate" in Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous rock opera Jesus's Christ Superstar from 1970. I found many similarities between the two. I wouldn't be surprised if Waters had been partly influenced, subconsciously or not, by Lloyd Webber's piece. He must surely have heard it, and who in our generation hadn't!

2025-01-20 14:08:14 +0000 UTCOne album to explore that ties in within the psychological and sociological framework is Tears For Fears "Songs from the Big Chair". I believe this was written and produced from inspiration to the movie "Sybal" about a young woman with dozens of personalities. The Big Chair being referred to as the therapist in the movie. I don't want to give anymore details away, in case you do decide to do it, but its a very strong 80's Record that had 4-5 top 50 hits like: "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "The Working Hour" and "Head Over Heals". Although the album's 5th video release "I Believe" did not climb the charts like the other four-mentioned...it did display Orzabel's powerful vocal abilities and the group's vast scope of musical production.

2025-01-20 03:27:26 +0000 UTCWow, Amy, your in-depth analysis is beyond extraordinary. This was an incredible take into a song that I have always now misinterpreted as something else and how beautiful and more complex is its meaning to me now after watching this analysis. This should be released on 20/20 or National Television as a documentary of the Wall and have other musicians, producers, and mental health professionals give their analysis. Pink Floyd's "The Wall" deserves a deeper dive in-study of classic rock art and its interpretations of human sociological and psychological transactional analysis. As an MSW Social Worker, I can see brilliance in Water's lyrical and musical portrayals in transactional analysis that goes on internally and abroad in meso-relationships outside of the psyche or self. Pair this with a few more rock-study classical albums that attempt to explicit those topics and you have what might be a new inspirational musical genre. I can only say is that your knowledge of musical theory, production, and lyrical meanings have really amazed me and it is why I keep supporting your channel. My hope is that you do more Pink Floyd albums, because Roger Waters created a handful of these extraordinary works of art.

2025-01-20 03:17:00 +0000 UTCThanks Amy. Fine perceptions & commentary on how so many of us tend towards blaming those closest to us for our perceived failings; and how the journey to finally recognising the “whole truth” can be so fraught and so painful. The Wall is indeed a masterpiece on many levels; a superb marriage of lyrics and music. I’ve been playing it for 40 or so years. I never tire of it, because it has such depth, such substance. Cheers
