No Picture jimmy Lead Player	#1 by jimmy matthews at May 28, 1973 at 10:27 AM EST
	When you become schizophrenic or manic you start to see beauty in everything. This happened to John Lennon, Hendrix and even Roger Waters....I recall a time when I was doing a lot of acid I began to hear voices when the acid would change into a downward spiral of despair....I used to sit in my basement and build things out of whatever was around...to me it was art, but insanity was definitely part of it. I think this song symbolizes the closing of the wall, and the point where he is completely mad....also a symptom of schizo or manic, which is something I always experienced, is that you constantly feel dirty, especially where your hair is which is maybe why he shaved his chest and eyebrows in the movie. (Roger Waters wanted him to shave his head and Bob responded "no fucking way!"

	There is a version of Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 that has the whale song from this combined with it. It's my favorite version (though I think it is a fake).

No Picture J_ROC Lead Player	#5 by J_ROC at Aug 25, 1991 at 6:23 PM EST
	I love the live version of this song: "Is there anybody out there?" "YES!"

No Picture caleb Wanna Be	#6 by caleb at Jun 29, 1992 at 3:12 PM EST
	In the optional commentary in the movie The Wall, Roger Waters notes during this song that Syd Barrett once did something very similar to what Pink is doing in the movie. But I guess that was noted above. I love this song.
