Voices on the Wall

So, I've always been curious if anyone knows what the little one second long voice blurb says at the very end of the wall album, right before "Outside the Wall" ends?

just curious

It says "isn't this where" and for In The Flesh? the first voice you hear says "we came in" giving the album a circular effect. The message obviously being "isn't this where we came in" ending as disc one starts to say one of the following:

. That the message of The Wall is eternal and people shall never cease to alienate themselves behind their own mental walls.

. That the character of Pink is sadly going to go through the process of building the wall all over again. If you interpret the album like i do the over all message is about communication and how we should reveal ourselves to one another, and to keep this story tragic it's noteable that Roger not once mentions pink having any friends or anybody who he could now communicate with after alienating himself from his wife and mother.

. Roger just felt like confusing people.

I just check it out, thanks. Unfortunaltly, my headphones were turned all the way up and I think that Im a bit deaf from when the drums come in on "In The Flesh". I don't suppose Roger ever commented on this message ever?

Ah but they aren't his real friends if he has to act against his will rather than just acting upon his feelings infront of them are they?

I don't think Roger did ever mention that message.

I apologize for the bump, but it should be mentioned here: If anyone is interested, the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia has transcripts of nearly every audio blurb in all their songs. I found this particularly interesting, as I can never make out most of them on my own.

What about the fat kid that falls flat on his face just prior to Happiest Days? perhaps Pink fell out with him due to an unremitting desire to be a control freak?

Yeah. And didn't they run away from his during that scene anyway?

Thats a good question, im not really sure what they do. Do they run away or are they just moving out the way of the train? Either way they are not helping our hero so i guess they do desert him. Ive seen the film over 300 times (im sad to say that that is true) and I dont actually know what happens here for sure, anyone know anything definite?

I take this as, depicting the fact that people leave you when your personal problems get in. Not a lot, take it on themselves. May be this is what Roger was trying to say.

Let's not mix up the film with the album.

David Smith · Post by **David Smith** » Sun Jul 06, 2003 12:37 pm

Yeah, but in neither can you claim Pink has any proper friends. Then again, that's not unusual considering he's a rock star on the road. Though you could claim he has no proper friends if he finds it necessary to act against his will, just as you can claim his wife and he never had a steady relationship or he would have talked to her more often than he did e.t.c

Pink was IMO very much at least mentally isolated (as in he can't share himself with others) through out the album/ film and as a result the wall builing process is likely to happen time and time again. People may have loved him (as shown in Outside The wall) but the way he's treated them in the past shows that this isn't a both ways affair, he chooses to be alone as a result of his childhood and his wife's affair.

Thanks for the links, very interesting. I don't know how many tapes that I've ruined trying to get the hidden message in Empty Spaces to play so that I could hear it.
