HEY YOU BY PINK FLOYD 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF " THE WALL"

HEY YOU BY PINK FLOYD 30TH ... Lyrics & Chords

Released by Pink Floyd and Harvest Records on 30th November 1979 in the U.K and U.S this progressive rock song is featured the Pink Floyd Album – The Wall. The song itself is inspired by the very concept The Wall was made for: the feeling of despair and isolation from one’s peers. “Hey You” has a very desperate tone which steadily grows as the song progresses, and there has been much debate as to what the lyrics symbolise, though it is generally agreed that the song is about isolation from one’s peers, whether it be Pink, the listener, or both.Like the other songs on the album, “Hey You” is told from the point of view of the protagonist, Pink. Pink realizes the mistake he made completely shunning society, and attempts to regain contact with the outside world. However, he cannot see or hear beyond the wall. Pink’s call becomes more and more desperate as he begins to realize there is no escape.In the broader sense, the ALBUM is about an artist’s isolation from his audience, no doubt inspired by an incident while on tour when Roger Waters got angry at a fan when he climbed the netting that separated the band from the audience, and Waters went so far as to spit on him. Waters then regretted this and also the fact that there is netting between him and the crowds of fans, and with this concept, The Wall was made. Under this perspective, “Hey You” takes on a different view, highlighting the alienation of the audience (who are standing in the aisles, all alone, getting cold and no longer smiling), and the artist wondering if he can even reach them any longer (whether they can hear him, touch him, feel him).

LYRICS

Hey You (Waters) 4:41 originally

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don’t give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I’m coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you’re told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don’t tell me there’s no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
