But not yet! In spite of the fact that he’s called a halt. And that he WANTS to do these things, he remains in his cell… he’s waiting… Why?! Whatever for?!

What is he waiting for? How come he doesn’t just get up and leave? Isn’t it enough that he’s chosen to get himself on the right path?

I know I’ve said it before, but I’m certain I’m not the only one thinking this- Amy, you have so enhanced my appreciation for this album and its depth. I thought I knew it well, and I definitely *felt* it deeply, but I had only scratched the surface in really understanding it. Thank you.

Amy an amazing take on the track and the album but as a whole you also have to take into account that Roger, conceived The Wall during Pink Floyd's "In the Flesh tour", modelling the character of Pink after himself and the former member Syd Barrett. Roger despised the experience – angered by the audience's rowdy behavior in the middle of songs and convinced that they were not really listening to the music He articulated his desire to isolate himself by constructing a wall across the stage between the band and the audience. the fact that the band were beginning to fall apart at this point also heavily influenced the albums' themes and music. And thus, Pink the Jaded rock star isolating himself from reality and everyone close behind his wall was conceived.

Hi Amy... one of your biggest YouTube fans here. @2:03 "...and the message is this: without Pink owning his part, he can never change. And in spite of the self-awareness and introspection that has sometimes appeared in the past few songs, he still does not acknowledge any responsibility; therefore: the show must go on." Spot on observation, imho, Amy. But... (and with me... isn't there always a "but"?), from all that I have gathered over the years about SERIOUS addiction problems... it makes your observations both completely understandable... and for me, just a bit hopeless... unless there is some kind of "miracle," effected from within or without, or a combination of both - it is DEVILISHLY, FIENDISHLY, INCREDIBLY difficult to "STOP" (as the song title says) using PROJECTION (seeing in others what is inside of you) and DENIAL (self-explanatory) to maintain "the dream." I am reminded of John Lennon's plaintive cry at the end of his first solo album... "The DREAM IS OVER." Yes - it can be, has been, and SHOULD be done: to confront oneself - because, as my wise old uncle once said... "A life unexamined is a life not worthy of living..." or, something to that effect. (My mind isn't what it used to be... in fact... what? did I just say that? hey............) I would recommend, Amy, the following book (see Wikepedia entry below) - where I remember the narrator saying that EVERY SINGLE CELL in his body ached for another hit of heroin... seriously... I read that in college and decided then and there, although I've tried a number of drugs over the decades... I would NEVER touch opioids... and I haven't. In fact, I'm still a little pissed off that I'm addicted to air, water, and food... and I don't like it!

Junkie: Confessions of an Unredeemed Drug Addict, or Junky, is a 1953 novel by American Beat generation writer William S. Burroughs. The book follows "William Lee" as he struggles with his addiction to morphine and heroin. Burroughs based the story on his own experiences with drugs, and he published it under the pen name William Lee. Some critics view the character William Lee as simply Burroughs himself; in this reading, Junkie is a largely-autobiographical memoir. Others view Lee as a fictional character based on the author.

An interesting comment that you made, Terence, that I had not heard before: "modelling the character of Pink after himself and the former member Syd Barrett." In fact, unlike a small part in THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, most of WISH YOU WERE HERE, and none of ANIMALS... I didn't notice anything at all that would remind me of Syd Barrett: a guy that I highly respected, before he lost it all...

Roger like Pink lost his father when he was a baby during World War 2 he died at the Angio bridge head Italy defending a counterattack from a German panzer regiment most of his regiment died his mother brought him up and was somewhat overprotective he was seriously ill as a child he also had a stomach illness on tour and felt numb from the medication. Before he left the band Syd had some mental issues which included stopping playing, turning his back on the audience and just walking off stage Dave was brought into cover when he did this as for the album "Wish you were here" the band only attributes the track "Shine on you crazy diamond" to be about Syd Roger has said the track "Wish you here" was not about Syd but about loss in general although Dave has said when he plays that track he can't help but think of Syd
