《迷墙》(The Wall)是英国前卫摇滚乐团Pink Floyd的第9张录音棚专辑,这是一张概念专辑/摇滚歌剧,于1979年发行。1999年,鉴于《迷墙》双张专辑在美国的1150万的销量,RIAA鉴定其为白金专辑。在1980年早期,这张专辑在告示牌上连续15个星期占据首位并停留在榜上两年。专辑在英国的最高排名则为第三。这张专辑被1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die一书收录。
此专辑里的“Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)”是乐队唯一的(并在英国和美国两国均是)冠军单曲。在世界范围,这张专辑产生出了大量畅销单曲,包括“Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)”, “Young Lust”, “Hey You”, “Comfortably Numb”和“Run Like Hell”。
重整后,用“太空式”摇滚这种超现实主义的风格并没有赢得大批的追随者。乐队在富有传奇色彩的“寺院路”录音棚内灌制了下一张专辑,用九个月的时间录制幻想中的外层空间旅行——《The Dark Side Of The Moon》(月亮的黑暗面)。这部1973年出品的巨作为Pink在摇滚乐史上找到“艺术摇滚乐队”的地位。这一专辑编排尤为紧凑,是关于偏执狂和精神分裂的呐喊声集大成碟但专辑具有独特而完整的构思,使的声嘶力竭的喊声颇具音乐美感,是有内涵的艺术品。这张专辑一进入排行榜就留在那里不走了,他在那里至少停留了15年,至尽仍不时看到他的踪影。毫无疑问,该专辑是有史以来上榜时间最久的。
1979年出品的《The Wall》(迷墙)让他们夺取另一高峰。这是Roger的创作,他耗费大半年时间,把他不幸的童年生活和后来对整个社会的批判成为了该专辑的创作主线。在其中,强制教育的坏处、摇滚乐明星制的危险性以及官僚主义的非人性一概批露无疑,专辑一问世,其中的单曲《Another Brick In The wall》(Part 2)连续夺得四周的冠军。Roger那种反传统、反束缚的观念在广大青少年听众中找到了知音。
《The Wall》音乐会其规模及其复杂的技术使得乐队最后决定在伦敦、曼哈顿和洛杉矶三个地方举办演唱会。舞台上最大的道具是一堵巨大的白墙。随着音乐的展开和深入,大墙慢慢升起,犹如由一块块砖堆砌而成,直到乐队被全部挡住。到最后演唱会进入高潮时,大墙徒然崩塌,乐手们踩着砖砾出现在台前。
后来,Roger因与Davie出现了矛盾,终于1985年离开乐队,Leak在次之前已离队,Pink Floyd名存实亡。然而,Davie仍不死心,于1987年招回Leak,录制了专辑《A Momentery Lapse Of Thunder》(瞬间失误的原因),反响极好。之后举行的两次巡回演出成为当时收效最高的音乐会。
《Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1)》
(轻柔与嗡响效应,显示他(因二战)守寡母亲的忧郁与他不愉快的童年。)
Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
Snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?!?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
"You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!"
《Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)》
(逐渐刚强、轻快,叛逆的内心在追寻自我,这是西方年轻人的成长过程。)
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
"Wrong, Do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"
《Another Brick In The Wall (Part 3)》
(愤怒的火终于爆发,反抗形成极端的巅峰,尽露无遗Pink的个性。)
[Sound of many TV's coming on, all on different channels]
"The Bulls are already out there"
Pink: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!"
"This Roman Meal bakery thought you'd like to know."
I don't need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need anything at all.
No! Don't think I'll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.
Goodbye, cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
