One off My Turns is a song of the British group of progressive Rock Pink Floyd. It appears on the album The Wall left in 1979.

Composition

The song explores various musical territories and is cut in three distinct parts: a dialog, a vocal part calms, and a strong vocal part. She is regarded as the darkest parts of the album. She starts with a slow introduction in major C on a tempo to three times (3/4). The vocal part calms continuous on this impetus until the explosion in the strong vocal part. This part passes in major B flat with a four-four time (4/4).

Analyzes words

Like the other songs of The Wall , One off My Turns tells part of the history of Pink, the main character of the album. Pink invites a Groupie in its room after having discovered the lover of his wife. When the groupie tries to have its attention, it is too occupied thinking of his wife to hear it. Like the continuous groupie to try to have its attention, Pink embarks in an anger forces and destroys its room, under the terrified glance of the groupie. Roger Toilets, the author of the song, summarized its own experiences in an interview for Radio One :

One off My Turns sounds like a viscous acid song; in fact, that arrived to me years ago, perhaps six or seven years. It was a little as what I lived, but I would never have said it, because I was really too afraid of all. I think that in the rock'n'roll much of people are frightened per many things. But to be upright on a scene with a few thousands of Watts behind you, it is one of the surest places in the world. It is like driving a very powerful car. All that has much power makes you feel safe more, at least temporarily. I refer to all that in Young Lust . In One off My Turns , all is terribly confus.

Version of film

In adapted film of the album, Pink Floyd The Wall , Pink inserts a groupie in its hotel room. After it tried to allure Pink, it enters a rage insane and destroyed its room, cutting its own hand after having thrown its television through the window.
