COMPOSITION The song is somewhat rhythmical in nature. It is approximately 2 minutes and 10 seconds in length. It features a long introductory section. Around 48 seconds into the song, the tone changes slightly, and the piece becomes slightly louder. After another 26 seconds, a Hidden Message can be heard within the track; immediately this is over, the lyrical portion commences. The song ends abruptly; if played directly before the next track, '' Young Lust '', the vocals move directly into each other. PLOT As with the other songs on ''The Wall'', ''Empty Spaces'' tells a portion of the story of ''Pink'', the album's protagonist. ''Empty Spaces'' marks the beginning of Pink's depressed state of mind. It also marks (although does not directly state) that Pink is now in his adult years. ADAPTATIONS & OTHER VERSIONS On both the of this album, a different version of the song is used, entitled '' What Shall We Do Now? '' HIDDEN MESSAGE As noted Above , directly before the lyrical section, there is a hidden message. When heard normally, it appears to be nonsense. If played backwards, the following can be heard: Congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont... Roger! Carolyn's on the phone! It is believed that this Backward Message is a comical reference to former lead singer/guitarist Syd Barrett . Roger Waters congratulates you for finding this message, and jokes that you can send your answer to Syd (the 'Old Pink'), who lives somewhere in Chalfont (the 'funny farm' in Chalfont). Before he can tell the exact location however, he gets interrupted by someone in the background who says Carolyn (Waters' wife) is on the phone. PERSONNEL
