This is another uncomfortable song, isn’t it! The barefacedness of the lyrics makes us cringe. But that’s only one part of its power.

Enjoyed that. Fascinating details in a work of art, so interesting

Great analysis Amy, I've owned this album for years, but I haven't listened to it for a long time. To me, it just hasn't aged well. Although I still listen to the hits when they play on the radio. I can hardly be bothered to sit through the hours of the whole double album. When it came out I thought it was THE MASTERPIECE by Pink Floyd. Over the years though, I've come to realize that for me, their greatest album is "Wish you were here". And I can't wait until you listen to that album. Although you have heard the title track, maybe you should do a full album in depth on it. Would love to see it.

A fantastic break down of this track Floyd in their concept albums also tended to bring the theme of the album full circle and back to the beginning in some ways this song does this it was that horrible dictatorship that took Pinks father from him and started the process of building his wall and yet at the end he himself ironically becomes that dictator thus completing the cycle that started it all.

Just throwing this out here, since you've been making videos of the two of you reacting to film-length pieces lately: Watching one of the live performances of The Wall together, after you finally get through "Outside the Wall" and finish up this series, would be awesome.

I just watched this live on your YouTube channel last weekend. This, actually, is one of my favorite songs from this album, which is kind of surprising, even to me!
