Another Brick in the Wall


"Another Brick in the Wall" is a song by the legendary British rock band, Pink Floyd. The song is in the key of B minor and was released in 1979 as part of their album "The Wall." Written by the band's frontman Roger Waters, it tackles themes of oppressive schooling systems and rebellion. Part 2 of the song gained immense popularity, becoming a protest anthem with its catchy chorus: "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control." Interestingly, the song features a children's choir from Islington Green School, adding a haunting and powerful element to the track. The melody has a distinct and unforgettable guitar-driven sound, combined with atmospheric synths and intricate vocal harmonies by the band's members.
