Pink Floyd Empty Spaces Comments
  1. S.... B....

    I guess if we still lived here, it would end up something like this.

  2. K.... K....

    Human existence portrayed in animation given life by music!

  3. D.... I....

    Consumerist Capitalism is a spiritually killing as communism? Who would have guessed!

  4. I.... T....

    I'm gonna show my children this.

  5. b.... a....

    Just the tips

  6. l.... ....

    It's not porno, it's a metaphoric view of what Life is all about. It starts with love and sexual attraction, but soon the newly created living creatures feel hate for eachother. It's a very pessimistic, depressing animation, but so powerful it's impossible to forget.

  7. j.... c....

    Wouldn't this be about the empty spaces that are within us caused by emotional dependence caused by emotional deficiencies caused by lack of affection and abandonment the wall is a build up of pain in his life and he develops masks and fills his inner void with exterior happiness and eventually he explodes from not expressing his emotions has psychosis and becomes passive aggressive until he has a moment to introspection himself

  8. R.... W....

    Why isn’t this superior version on the record?!!

  9. k.... ....

    2:24 Notre-Dame

  10. �.... �....

    So much allusions - from individual to global - 1 second trip and back.

  11. M.... L....

    When I heard and see this,I can't get out off my mind what's trying to tell me so unreal...damn

  12. G.... M....

    amazing!

  13. A.... P....

    This sums up capitalism.

  14. J.... W....

    Man that BASS guitar!!!

  15. k.... m....

    Ar found you

  16. G.... ....

    😍😍😍

  17. T.... R....

    merci Notre dame

  18. S.... H....

    Inb4 Satoru Akefu's stands name announcement, keeping fingers crossed. Calling all JOJO fans >.>

  19. R.... T....

    This animation would be censored if Scarfe and Pink Floyd had done this today;)

  20. S.... 7....

    The best song on youtube

  21. G.... ....

    It's kinda amazing, at one point during a viewing session of this movie, I realized this scene has a bunch of foreshadowing for the rest of the movie.

  22. m.... z....

    MP40 to needle to guitar to BMW M1. Totally trippy flow to that and scary at the same time.

  23. J.... P....

    Modern Warfare kkkk

  24. u.... d....

    Being a fan of the Floydian perspective on life, I see this song as the capital city (so to say) of this whole album "The Wall". It is our desires and passions that stand in the way of our happiness and to be connected to each other. All the revelations that came from God tell us to be aware of these desires and passions. Because of them we are destroying this planet. One of the prophets of God said "Loving this world (and its desires and passions) is the origin of every sin/evil".

  25. S.... J....

    I wish there was a version of the studio album with "What Shall We Do Now" on it, like you can always listen to the live version of the Wall, but honestly that track is the only thing that makes it a better, everything else is just kind, why wouldn't I just listen to the normal version of this song?

  26. R.... L....

    BEST ALBUM EVER

  27. P.... L....

    I love how this is a reputation of Pink blocking his wife out by destroying a church. And then the thing morphing into what he's using to mask his pain

  28. F.... P....

    Fucking love this omg

  29. P.... L....

    At least the movie soundtrack can be found on YouTube and this whole version put into context with the rest of the album is wonderful if they would only put that on CD now life would be grand

  30. P.... L....

    This should have appeared on the original album

  31. H.... W....

    Funny farm Chalfont

  32. A.... G....

    Essa música é massa

  33. K.... H....

    Wicked.

  34. w.... ....

    It may not seem significant but it's one of the important songs in the movie imo. I remember when I was 15, I watched this few days after watching the movie. The movie itself felt relieving for me but watching this part again literally made me puke out of disgust.

  35. U.... A....

    1:41. Any special reasons why there is a sign reading:"Adams Nylons?" Anybody who knows? ;-)

    U.... A....

    Isn't it just reference to ads in general and some brands of underwear?

  36. d.... ....

    Idk why I'm feeling this way in my nether regions

  37. m.... g....

    This animation + song form a capitalist analycris. Capitalism creates a bottomless empty well with everywhan (aka consumerism) . It is the idea that what you own makes you but in reality your actions and perspective on the reality forms a person. Resist ads!

  38. R.... L....

    1983 at Cinema V

  39. B.... B....

    Someone should tell them that this is not how flowers work

  40. K.... J....

    This is better than Tool videos

  41. J.... J....

    Did Pink Floyd make this? Or was done by another party?

    J.... J....

    The graphics were created by Gerald Scarfe.

  42. R.... H....

    most relationships start up and end just like that.

  43. L.... 1....

    The Wall growing looks like 3D. How did that happen?

  44. n.... ....

    Emptiness of Capitalism

  45. s.... ....

    miserable edgy garbage....

  46. J.... L....

    nome correto dessa é "What Shall We Do Now?"
    Empty Spaces é só no disco e é diferente.

  47. L.... P....

    Pink Floyd, shrooms and my girl...got me through high school

  48. m.... n....

    GRUMPY BELLY CAT...
    SORTA LIKE GRUMPY TIGER CAT

  49. D.... ....

    that car was actually really good lookin

  50. U.... A....

    What Shall we do Now?
    Pink Floyd

    What shall we use to fill the empty spaces 
    Where waves of hunger roar? 
    Shall we set out across the sea of faces 
    In search of more and more applause? 

    Shall we buy a new guitar? 
    Shall we drive a more powerful car? 
    Shall we work straight through the night? 
    Shall we get into fights? 
    Leave the lights on? 
    Drop bombs? 
    Do tours of the east? 
    Contract disease? 
    Bury bones? 
    Break up homes? 
    Send flowers by phone? 
    Take to drink? 
    Go to shrinks? 
    Give up meat? 
    Rarely sleep? 
    Keep people as pets? 
    Train dogs? 
    Race rats? 
    Fill the attic with cash? 
    Bury treasure? 
    Store up leisure? 
    But never relax at all 
    With our backs to the wall.

    UNICI LEGGENDARI PINKFLOYD !!dopo di loro solo mediocrità ☆☆☆☆☆ ♥

  54. C.... H....

    Try to watch this while dropping lsd lol

  55. P.... i....

    is it just me seeing the fertility symbolized in a woman's body which turned into fruits and a man's body with a penis which turned into a weapon?

  56. V.... ....

    play this backward to hear the secret

  57. M.... E....

    David Gilmour Best guitar! Roger Water Super vocal

  58. M.... E....

    Pink Floyd Forever

  59. L.... M....

    163 man are listening skrillex 😁😁😁

  60. o.... ....

    We are alone. God help us.

  61. S.... C....

    This has been my favorite movie for years. What a masterpiece of an album, and what a perfect film to accompany it.

  62. a.... ....

    2:14 makes me get up and smash the evil forest!!!

  63. S.... C....

    Can someone explain the meaning of the beginning thanks

    S.... C....

    the flowers or the lyrics?

    S.... C....

    Ark Bien the flowers

    S.... C....

    His wife was cheating....... love turns on him and ate him whole........ another brick in his wall that he’s trapped in

  64. S.... D....

    "Hey son what ya watching?"
    *sees the vagina flower get fucked by the penis flower*
    "Well have fun!"

  65. M.... H....

    First came the album, then the concert, twice, then the film. T shirt has followed T shirt, now I've got the two 'amorous' flowers tattooed on my arm. Long live Pink Floyd and god bless all who follow them!!!

  66. O.... S....

    The song title is incorrect!
    It is in fact ''What Shall We Do Now?'' from the movie.
    ''Empty Spaces'' is its shorter version found on the album.

  67. J.... M....

    This is the soundtrack of my life playing. Never the same note twice. This song is like the way we play hello junkie fuck you its all about me and I AM solitary confinement. I know this one so well

  68. e.... ....

    2.6 million people cant be wrong!
    love this track

  69. G.... R....

    Empty spaces - what are we living for

  70. A.... W....

    This has always been my favorite pink floyd song. grew up fishing in Alaska since I was in grade school.

  71. S.... ....

    As much as I love current technology ...I'm quite a traditionalist when it comes to animation...the 1970's/80's were the true zenith of the medium. Just cant seem to do this shit with CGI. Traditional cell animation just captured something human that no digital medium ever will.

  72. N.... D....

    Judging by the comments, it seems like it's an unpopular opinion that the album version is better. Well the animation is super cool of course, I like the vocals of the album, especially that last line 'How should I complete the wall?' and how it leads into Young Lust.

  73. c.... ....

    Tours of The East? Contract diseases? Those two things kind of go hand in hand.

    ANYONE WANNA GO TO THAILAND?

  74. M.... ....

    United States 2016.

  75. s.... ....

    Is this symbolic?

    s.... ....

    It is. It is the dance between two partners in a couple. Or two partners in crime. Or two countries bragging and threatening war on one another...

    s.... ....

    Oh really .

    s.... ....

    Everything in this movie is symbolic.

  76. D.... K....

    I see glen in the video

  77. m.... m....

    epic af

  78. M.... ....

    donald trump si gana

  79. D.... H....

    Trumps theme song

  80. C.... L....

    Should we work straight through the night?

  81. S.... ....

    this is so freaking asome

  82. S.... S....

    Gerald' scarfes animation is superb

  83. M.... R....

    I wouldnt call myself A Pink Floyd fan But i am a massive fan of the film The Wall.

  84. E.... ....

    I think this version is way better than the album version >.>

    E.... ....

    OH YES!!!

    E.... ....

    not even close.. you're influenced by the imaging .. judge music on its own musical merits

    E.... ....

    its a different song

    E.... ....

    Yes definetly better

    E.... ....

    Yeah, the screams are amazing!

  85. B.... N....

    what shall we do to fill the empty spaces

    B.... N....

    where waves of hunger roar!

    B.... N....

    Shall we set out across the sea of faces?

    B.... N....

    In search of more, and more, applause!

  86. W.... ....

    So it's like Pink lost his wife and was trying to fill in the Empty Spaces with luxury...

    W.... ....

    in my opinion, this song is more about capitalism as whole than just Pink.

    W.... ....

    Wrzeszcz100 Roger* Pink is just a character

    W.... ....

    but he is taling about the film, the film is narrated through pink, pink is who has this thoughts

  87. T.... D....

    the sleek, dazzling veneer of the 1980’s

  88. O.... S....

    Richard Wright.
    A master with keys, chords and sounds.

  89. A.... S....

    Mega death

  90. A.... S....

    Mega death


    death

  91. A.... G....

    THIS VIDEO AND MUSIC IS THE BEST POINT OF VIEW OF THIS MOMENT OF LIFESTYLE !!!

  92. K.... F....

    looks like trumps favorite video

    K.... F....

    well said.

    K.... F....

    Trumps wall would be bigger, more luxorious, and come in way under budget... roger waters lost millions on his wall tour

    K.... F....

    that's sad

    K.... F....

    the young naive 4chan alt righters can stop talking about trumps wall in the usual memester masturbatory manner...

    because there is no wall being built. you got dragged through the cleaners. it was all a lie and it was so easy to pull off. how tragically sad...

    K.... F....

    As much as I am a bit sick of the Trump comments...I see him masturbaiting to this clip. Turning a holy site into a casino, the wall, luxurious items, Nazi hate crimes, sex, all from a movie that ACTUALLY inspired one of the most violent skinhead groups in America (look up Hammerskins to get what I'm talking about there), if he ever saw this, how could he not?

  93. D.... K....

    Mind blowing when you're on shooms, acid, or hallucinogenics.

    D.... K....

    mind blowing when you are not even on anything to be honest

    D.... K....

    dillon kinder I watched the wall for the first time on shrooms and I had a straight up life crisis. So much truth and symbolism in such a hauntingly beautiful film. Horrible trip but now one of my favorite movies.

  94. M.... M....

    Leave the lights on Drop BOmbs!!!!!

  95. T.... ....

    I saw this movie when I was a teen. These animations were well ahead of their time back then. As for the chilling picture of our selfish, materialistic consumerist world, it didn't age a day.

    T.... ....

    i watched this since i was atleast 4 years old. this is awful to show to children but idk i loved it heaps

    T.... ....

    Well they weren't ahead of it's time, they seemed pretty on average for the timezone but yeah it's some good animations

    T.... ....

    Fun fact lead animator did all the Character Designs for Dinsey's Hercules. This still remains some of his best work though.

  96. E.... D....
