A song I consider to be wild is the song “Another Brick in the Wall” by Pink Floyd released in 2001 as part of the album “The Wall” in the genre of rock music. I remember my dad first showing my brothers and me this song when I was around five years old and I never forgot it primarily because of the music video. The music video itself I consider to be wild because it portrays students in a very strict school. They seem to do exactly what they are told and follow every rule, making them just another fish in the sea. What stuck out to me is that they are so “brainwashed” that they willingly fall into a meat grinder. The video takes a turn when everyone decides to set free of this system and do as they please.
The wild meaning behind this song is that the teacher is representing the government not allowing people to live freely and the need to control most aspects of people’s lives while the students represent the people and how they are stuck in this harmful system. I think the title of this song fits perfectly well because everyone has the same lifestyle based on the government and no one makes a difference, making everyone just another brick in the wall. The video depicts, in a different situation, what the song is trying to portray which I think overall gives it that wild effect of showing control and how others don’t refrain, making them “brainwashed”. I think the author is trying to tell us to break free from this and how maybe the government is not in our best interest.
While the song was written in 1979, I love that you wrote about The Wall because it is one of the most impactful songs of mine and its so significant. This song is essentially about trying to break out of the system and to not be “another brick in the wall.” That message in itself is about wildness because its people wanting to be more without conforming to societies norms.
