feeling of passing

I bought Pink Floyd's album the wall in 1993. I remember that I found it when I was looking for discs in the audio and video market after a business trip to Guangzhou. The owner asked for more than 200, which is equivalent to half a month when I had just worked for two years. Salary, I can only grit my teeth for this long-heard album. More than 20 years later, the original disc may have gone out of tune because of its physical life, so it is convenient and free to download from QQ Music, so today's young people must not imagine the closure of our era.
Different from ordinary albums, the singles of The Wall are not independent. They are coherent like a symphony. They are not suitable for listening to each song separately. Therefore, there are generally not many opportunities to listen to it, and I estimate that I have listened to it a dozen times over the past 20 years. The strange thing is that every time I listen to it, it gives me a shock. I can't say why, but I feel that my mood is as high and low as the tune of the record. I didn't know much about the background and various interpretations of the album. Although the Internet has become so developed now, all this is no longer as difficult as it was when I bought the album, because I think music, especially good music, may It means different things to different people, so I just want to appreciate and experience everything about this album by myself, and I don't want to be swayed by other people's opinions.
Until yesterday at the film festival, I watched the movie version of the wall, and when I looked at the big screen, I suddenly found that my feeling for that record disappeared completely, just like a boy who has been in love with a girl for many years in the long-awaited wedding room. Ye Shi suddenly lost his passion, and in the face of the incomparably gorgeous sensory enjoyment, he lost the hazy and expectation that he had always kept. The whole movie is gorgeous, it can be said to be the best MTV, but it is only an MTV after all, no matter how well the director performs, it is his own interpretation, not mine. So I really regret watching this movie.

Pink Floyd: The Wall quotes

  • Pink: [singing quitely to himself with his poems in a bathroom stall] Do you remember me? The way it used to be? Do you think we should have been closer? Put out my hand, just to touch your soft hair. To make sure in the darkness, that you were still there. And I have to admit, I was just a little afraid. Of the ones living under the dirty old knife. And the ones who were pointed with guns to their backs.

  • Pink: [speaking and screaming into megaphone] The worms will convince outside Brixton Bud Station will be moving along at about twelve o' clock down Stockwell road, and then point will start heading Abbots road and walk calmly with resistance, leaving twelve minutes to three will be moving along Lambeth road towards Vauxhall Bridge. Now when we get to the other side of Vauxhall Bridge where in the Westminster brought area it's quite possible we may encounter some Jew boys all the way from four and five and take them back by the way we go. And they came Midds Abbots and we saw them killed! Million of gay people screaming murder, murder came all around and shoot! Remember to make it to high clock corner or all of you are killed! Were in the door! now close the door, close the damn door! the door! the door! the door!
