An omage to Pink Floyd's The Wall. Swift Sky isolates himself from the world, due to his overbearing mother, the affair of his wife, and a death of a close friend.

Swift Sky is the leading member of the rock band, The Four Horsemen, traveling all over Equestria to perform . All of Swift's associates seem to be happy, energetic, and enjoys their jobs.

Swift, however, is terribly depressed. His wife just cheated on him for another stallion, his mother is too overbearing on him, and his closest friend dies of a deadly disease.

He decides enough is enough and isolates himself from the world with his "Wall".

An omage to Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Thanks to Ron Jeremy Pony for helping me fully flesh out the plot.

How to Read this Fanfic Properly

In the beginning of each chapter, there is going to be an author's note of a music video from The Wall album. In order to fully understand this story, play the song while reading it. It will make the fanfic a whole lot better.

Then, in some parts, there is going to be lyrics to the song in italics, for example:

He finally walked in front of Coco, stopped, and cleared his throat to attract the adorable mare's attention. He held out a hoof in front of her. "May I have this dance, Coco Pommel?"

Mother, will she break my heart?

"I...I would love to, Swift." She answered quietly.

You might have to rewind the video a bit to get to the part where the italics are mentioned from the song to the text.

Anyway, sit back, and enjoy possibly my biggest, grandest tale I have written in FIMfiction history: Swift Sky's The Wall!
