The members of Cityrocks got together in Hungary to perform Another Brick in the Wall and they pulled in about 400 musicians to do it. It was meant to be simple, but the video shows something much bigger happening as all these people gathered in a field to play the same song at the same time.
There were drummers and guitarists and singers and even a children’s choir, and somehow it all blended together. One commenter said: “Pink Floyd’s song about defying the controllers transcends time, age and language barriers” and that pretty much sums up how people reacted to it.
The group has played a lot of songs on their channel, but this one still gets a ton of views. They also did a version of New Divide that pulled in huge numbers, too, and fans kept talking about how wild it was to see so many people working together.
Even with all that, the Pink Floyd performance keeps standing out. When you see people of all ages playing side by side, it just reminds you that music can pull everyone into the same place for a few minutes.
Cityrocks really pushed the idea of breaking down walls by showing what a lot of people can do when they come together. It hit a lot of people in a way that made them feel connected and that is probably why the video spread so fast.
