"Hey You" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd,[1] released on their 1979 double album The Wall.

A fretless bass enters, also played by guitarist David Gilmour rather than usual bassist Roger Waters.

Next to join in is the Fender Rhodes electric piano by Richard Wright,[3] Gilmour's vocals, singing in the first person, as the character "Pink" ("Can you feel me?

[4] When Waters sings the final verse, he does so one octave higher than Gilmour, with the highest note being the first C above middle C.[5] The Wall tells the story of Pink, an alienated young rock star who is retreating from society and isolating himself.

In "Hey You", Pink realizes his mistake of shunning society and attempts to regain contact with the outside world.

After a shot of Pink in an infirmary bed and his screaming wife superimposed over the image, the scene takes back to the riot, where a long line of police officers hold back a mob of rioters who have barricaded themselves behind a pile of desks and mattresses.
