How did the constant turmoil within the band Pink Floyd effect their musical moods and styles? Did “mood music” replace “messege music” after the mental deterioration of Roger “Syd” Barrett? Were these artists trying to escape their melancholies sustained by the unfortunate decline in health of their musical messiah, or were they using a new techniques to send subtle messages about rebellion towards political scandals and war, eventually rising to the development of musical counterculture?

Pink Floyd and the Beatles had more in common then they’re often credited. Both bands members were raised in the United Kingdom. The original framework for “The Beatles” was conspired by the best friends, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Likewise, “Pink Floyd” was created by best friends Nick Mason and Roger Waters.

From Robert Frost's Mending Wall to Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, humankind erects and maintains real and symbolic barriers to protect and defend opposing stances, beliefs and territories.

This poem consists of two characters: the narrator and his neighbor. In this poem the two neighbors are mending a stone wall that separates their property
There are many ways to interpret “The Wall” by Pink Floyd. I have never listened to this artist before and these songs are not my type of music. However, while listening to the different songs listed, the one that stood out to me the most was Outside the Wall. As a student at NIU, I truly do feel that NIU has robbed me as an individual by making me brick in the wall, but I would rather be Outside the Wall.

Breaking Down the Wall I can still remember clearly the first time that I listened to The Wall, and how it initially confused me. They continuously referenced a wall in the album and never truly clarified what it was. The Wall is immensely rich in symbolism which makes it harder to make out what they are truly talking about in their songs. It delves into themes that are complex and are hard to make out. The Wall is an amazing story which many people don’t truly appreciate because of the heavy symbolism
Opposing the Unthinking Defense of Walls in Mending Wall The speaker in "Mending Wall" questions his neighbor's stolid assumption that "good fences make good neighbors." Perhaps, what he objects to is not so much the sentiment itself as the unwillingness or inability of the other to think for himself, to "go beyond his father's saying." Just so; we must try to get beyond the apophthegm-like opening line of "Mending Wall," testing carefully for gradations of tone as we proceed. Is it the proverb-like
Discuss the themes addressed in Over the Wall and the devices used to express and examine these themes The play ‘Over the Wall’ is very interesting and unique, in that instead of having names for each part, the parts are numbered from 1-9.

He starts off with the same opinion as his neighbour-interact as little as possible, getting angry that the “wall” is being constantly destroyed
Everyone has that one neighbor, that one single neighbor in their life that is just unbearable. The neighbor is rude and loud and their tree is always dropping gross leeves into the newly cleaned pool. How frustrating! How does one keep those kinds of neighbor relationships from happening?

In the country of Spain, they use the proverb, “After all, to make a beautiful omelet, you have to break an egg”. In other words meaning, people must put in the effort to get the outcome wanted.

Pink Floyd For many people, the group Pink Floyd is considered as un-popular, aged, and without any sense in today's modern society.

The newest generation is unaware of the history behind all the "music" they listen to now. Where did it all begin? Who first wandered into the realms of psychedelic music to create a style and a culture that would last for decades
That Old House! Just last summer my parents bought a house. It is a nice place with hard wood floors and nice woodwork, but then there is my room in then basement. The first time I saw my room I almost cried. I hated it. I wasn't given a choice whether I liked it or not. My parents didn't seem to see how I felt and there was nothing I felt I could do about it. The floor was covered with leaves and other debris. The left wall was not yet finished. The studs and yellow insulation were still exposed

The Subject of Relationships in Robert Frost's Poem The Mending Wall Robert Frost's poem "The Mending Wall" may not seem to be a poem with a lot of meaning but if readers take time to listen to what the author has to say they will discover that it is talking about the basic relationships between people.
