In a world of love songs, Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2” inevitably stands out. Videos by American Songwriter The defiant anthem is a satirical view on formal education, a loud protest against authority, and it became one of Pink Floyd’s most recognizable songs. Here we’ll dive into the song’s context, composition, and success. Just one part of the story. “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2” is as it’s descriptor indicates, only one part of the story. There are three sections of “Another Brick in the Wall” on Pink Floyd’s 1979 rock opera album, The Wall. All three parts total eight odd minutes of building up emotional walls. The beginning, “Part 1,” sets the scene with the protagnoist’s first blow from life. His father abandons the narrator, whether that is in death or otherwise, and creates a level of distress. Daddy, what else did you leave for me? / Daddy, what’d ya leave behind for me? “Part 2,” which we will get to, continues the assembling of emotion. Then, “Part 3” concludes the trilogy with the determination that everyone has simply been just bricks in the wall. Recording an unexpected beat and children’s choir. Roger Waters, singer/songwriter and bassist for Pink Floyd, wrote the “Another Brick in the Wall” song series and the band recorded the songs for several months in 1979. For “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2,” the underlying beat leans into the themes and sounds of disco. And according guitarist David Gilmour, the band’s producer Bob Ezrin, has suggested this sonic turn. “[Ezrin] said to me, ‘Go to a couple of clubs and listen to what’s happening with disco music,’” Gilmour recalled in a 2009 interview with Guitar World, “so I forced myself out and listened to loud, four-to-the-bar bass drums and stuff and thought, Gawd, awful! Then we went back and tried to turn one of the parts into one of those so it would be Another unique aspect of “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2” is the children’s choir that sings the second verse of the song. The collection of young singers was composed of 23 children from the Islington Green School in North London. After recording, the childrens’ part was overdubbed 12 times to give the effect of many, many more children singing. Ezrin explains their decision to use a children’s choir “[W]e sent [engineer] Nick Griffiths to a school near the Floyd studios [in Islington, North London]. I said, ‘Give me 24 tracks of kids singing this thing. I want Cockney, I want posh, fill ’em up,’ and I put them on the song. I called Roger into the room, and when the kids came in on the second verse there was a total softening of his face, and you just knew that he knew it was going to be an important Lyrics Say a lot with little. The lyrics themselves while not necessarily elaborate, speak volumes. We don’t need no educationWe don’t need no thought controlNo dark sarcasm in the classroomTeacher, leave them kids aloneHey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone! It’s a pretty glaring critic of the education system, but Waters explained that it wasn’t so much of a blanket statement on education itself, but rather a statement to inspire a sense of individuality. “Obviously, I care deeply about education. I just wanted to encourage anyone who marches to a different drum to push back against those who try to control their minds rather than to retreat behind emotional walls,” Waters told The Wall Street Journal in 2015. Further explaining how he arrived at these lyrics, Waters revealed that his own experiences in school left a bad taste in his mouth. “The lyrics were a reaction to my time at the Cambridgeshire High School for Boys in 1955, when I was 12,” Waters told The Wall Street Journal. “Some of the teachers there were locked into the idea that young boys needed to be controlled with sarcasm and the exercising of brute force to subjugate us to their will. That was their idea of Success and its haters. Pink Floyd released “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2” as a single, their first single release after “Point Me at the Sky” in 1968. The track topped the charts in 14 different countries, including the United States and the The song also garnered a Grammy nomination and a spot on Rolling Stone’s “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list in 2010. Not everyone liked the track, however. The single and the subsequent album were banned in South Africa in 1980 after the lyrics were used by school children to protest their educaiton under apartheid. Prime minster Margaret Thatcher was also reported to have “hated All in all, it’s just another brick in the wallAll in all, you’re just another brick in the wall Photo by Doug McKenzie/Getty Images Few albums in the history of music have explored the universe of human feelings such as The Wall, the eleventh work of Pink Floyd, released in 1979. Childhood trauma, anger, despair and sense of emptiness these are the experiences and emotions with which Pink, the protagonist of the story, builds the wall around him. Piece by piece, the walls gets bigger, isolating him more and more from the the barrier construction process has begun, any negative experience becomes the brick that, together with the others, acts as a shield against a hostile Another Brick in The Wall, one of the most famous tracks of the group, Pink’s detachment already has a form, and it is the title itself that suggests it any tragedy, injustice or abuse can only be “another brick” in an already existing wall. If in the first of the three parts that make up the song we find the painful memory of a child raised without a father who died in the war, in the second we refer to the unacceptable situations that Pink, a future rock star, is forced to live in protest chorus rises and turns directly against the bullies in chargeWe don’t need no educationWe don’t need no thought controlNo dark sarcasm in the classroomTeachers, leave them kids aloneHey, Teachers, leave them kids aloneA question could arise spontaneously in a listener, if he sees just the surface are we facing a song that denies the importance of education? No, certainly not. If anything, it is a critique of an educational system which, instead of guiding young people towards the discovery of their own abilities and inclinations, too often suffocates their creativity with the imposition of schematic teachings that risk delaying the development of a critical and personal mindset. Not to mention the public humiliations by certain professors who undermine the already low self-esteem of the you hit puberty and start getting snotty, it’s good to have an adult around who will say, Well hang on, let’s talk about that,’ rather than be quiet.’Roger WatersPink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall, Part Two Official Music VideoOur Pink, however, with a past as short as painful, seems to already have some awareness of his own existence, as shown in the next two versesAll in all it’s just another brick in the wallAll in all you’re just another brick in the wallThe atmosphere is tense. Gilmour’s guitar, which eventually frees itself in a great solo, helps to make it so. But if the anger due to the authoritarian behavior of who should be an example is almost tangible, so is the disillusionment with a possible change. The teachers cannot fail to represent for Pink one more reason to stay closed inside his fact, Another Brick in The Wall is not a mere consideration of the educational institution, as Waters points outReally, the most important thing about that song is not the relationship with the school teacher. It was the first little thing I wrote where I lyrically expressed the idea that you could make or build a wall out of a number of different bricks that when they fit together provided something impermeable, and so this was just one of WatersWith these words, the legendary bass player is obviously talking about himself. The song, as well as the entire album, is a system of experiences he lived, the existential cry of an invisible person, whose condition is attributable to sometimes insurmountable difficulties in communicating with is precisely the cornerstone of the song the fear used by arrogant people as an instrument of control and domination over those who have no power, be it a country, a community or a class of students; the fear that forces us to silence and withdraw into ourselves and admits no alternatives. “Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2” is Pink Floyd’s only number one hit in both the US and the UK, and was a chart-topper in at least six other countries overseas in the spring of 1980. “Part 1” had come two tracks earlier, and even the immediately preceding song, “The Happiest Days of Our Lives” was thematically similar, to the point where one radio edit combines both songs. David Gilmour credits producer Bob Ezrin for the song’s disco sound He said to me, “Go to a couple of clubs and listen to what’s happening with disco music,” so I forced myself out and listened to loud, four-to-the-bar bass drums and stuff and thought, Gawd, awful! Then we went back and tried to turn one of the “Another Brick in the Wall” parts into one of those so it would be catchy. We did the same exercise on “Run Like Hell.” But Roger Waters is more reluctant to embrace the disco classification The song ran slow, almost like a chant or mantra, at 100 beats per minute. To give it a bit of punch, Bob Ezrin added a kick drum on every beat, which made the song a different animal than something strummed on an acoustic guitar. It’s not a disco beat, as many people have said, but more of a heart beat. It’s very cool.
