The Wall — Fan Stories
Share your storyMy daughter played this at my 60th birthday and I completely fell apart. The line about getting older and being afraid. She picked that song because I told her once that I heard it the day I found out I was pregnant with her.
Jennifer — Denver
The bass line that kicks in halfway through is my alarm tone. Every morning I wake up to it. It is the most aggressive possible way to start a day and I love it. My wife hates me for it.
