Pink Floyd’s music video for “Another Brick In The Wall” is a powerful and thought-provoking visual representation of the iconic song. Released as part of the film “Pink Floyd The Wall” in 1982, the video combines two songs, “The Happiest Days Of Our Lives” and “Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2.”
This single quickly became Pink Floyd’s greatest mainstream success and a classic in the world of music. The song served as a powerful protest against the rigid British school system, drawing on the personal experiences of band member Roger Waters. The video features a schoolteacher reciting a poem that directly references the band’s hit song “Money.”
Not only did “Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2” resonate with audiences worldwide, but it even became a protest anthem for South African students during the apartheid regime. The song was eventually banned in South Africa due to its controversial themes.
The video features the late actor Alex McAvoy portraying the schoolteacher, adding an extra layer of depth to the already impactful visuals.
If you haven’t seen “The Wall” film, I highly recommend giving it a watch to fully appreciate the significance of this classic song and its accompanying music video. “Another Brick In The Wall” remains a timeless piece of music that continues to inspire and provoke thought.
