{"title":"The Wall","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Wall is Roger Waters’ partly autobiographical story of a rock star - Pink - taking stock of his life, with bricks representing things that have caused him pain during his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis mother, overprotective, school, brutal teachers, relationships, etc. Waters had come up with the concept in 1977, during the Animals tour, with the tipping point being a show in Montreal at the end of the run of concerts. So disenchanted with things, he pictured a wall between the band and audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album (and subsequent concerts and film) explore the building of that wall, before reconciliation comes at the end with the collapse of the edifice - does it truly mark a conclusion, or just the start of the cycle again?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is a powerful look at life through the eyes of Pink, as his mental state starts fragmenting, and the subsequent concerts - first by Pink Floyd, then at a later stage, Roger Waters once he’d left the band - were visual and aural tour de forces.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0358\/2004\/4427\/collections\/Pink-Floyd_The-Wall.jpg?v=1759979207","url":"https:\/\/on-repeat.co.nz\/collections\/the-wall.oembed","provider":"On Repeat New Zealand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
