    The bass line on this is so simple it's almost stupid, and yet — somehow it works perfectly.

    Counterpoint: the live version edges it out for me.

  • pulse_listener_915/4/2026

    Compare the studio mix to the 1994 Pulse mix and tell me which is canon. I dare you.

  • b_side795/4/2026

    There's a Live in Pompeii take that's slightly faster — anyone else prefer it that way?

  • FloydHead★ 85/4/2026

    Hard agree. The album sequencing carries this entire track.

    • About this song

    Hey You is a key track on the concept album The Wall , which follows the character Pink - a rock star - as he isolates himself, building a metaphorical wall to detach from the outside world.
