Part 1[edit] Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1) Song by Pink Floyd from the album The Wall Published Pink Floyd Music Publishers Ltd Released 30 November 1979 (UK) 8 December 1979 (US) Recorded April – November 1979 Genre Art rock, progressive rock, experimental rock Length 2:27 Label Harvest (UK) Columbia (US) Writer Roger Waters Producer Bob Ezrin, David Gilmour, James Guthrie, Roger Waters The Wall track listing [show]26 tracks Composition Part 1 of the song is very quiet dynamically and features a long, subdued guitar solo. The vocals are softer and gentler in tone than in Parts 2 and 3, although there is a short, sharp rise in dynamics and tone for a brief period towards the end of the lyrical portion. Sniffing, shouting, wailing, calling, and children can be faintly heard in the background. The songs beginning coincides with the final chord of The Thin Ice, and the echoing multi-guitar solo (after the lyrics) crossfades into the helicopter and yelling-teacher sounds of The Happiest Days of Our Lives. Plot The Thin Ice discussed during the previous song breaks when Pink becomes older and learns of the death of his father. Pink is devastated by this reality and begins to build The Wall. Film version Pinks mother is seen praying in a church after the death of her husband overseas. Pink, however, is, at this point, oblivious of his death, and can be seen playing with a toy aeroplane. The song continues with Pink playing in a public park after his mother leaves him to go shopping. He sees a man who he takes a liking to in the absence of his own father. The man gives Pink a lift onto a ride, and its clear Pink feels as if this man is his real father. Pink follows the mans son around, copying him, but doesnt understand why the other boys father isnt paying attention to him. He grabs the mans hand but is shooed away, only to grab the mans hand again. The man pushes Pink away again, and dejectedly he sits on a swing (which is too far off the ground for him to swing himself). He looks over at the other parents swinging their kids, feeling even more alone.
