There's about a billion people in this world that would agree with every word you said.These are masterpieces loved your reaction it's very encouraging to see a young man such as yourself that gets it
I met David Gilmour in 1984. He gave me an autographed album. I shook both of his hands (he smiled) I told him he is the "Master Of The Stratocaster". I asked him to describe his playing style, he said..... "I strike a note, bend it, shake it, and then release it".... YES he does, better than anyone else ever did.
Pink Floyd's 1973 "Dark Side of the Moon" album was on the top 50 best selling album for 17 years straight. You must listen to the whole 43 minute album because it's practically one song about birth, life struggles, and finally death. Thumbs up for your reaction.
In 1980 I was working on my dad's friend's boat for a good part of the spring/summer and I listened to Dark Side of the Moon non stop and loved it from the start
It’s hard to believe that so many younger people have not heard Pink Floyd. They had a very special place in the lives of many in my generation. They were not just a popular band, they were serious, a higher kind of sound, vast and beautiful.
You NEED to listen to the album in its entirety from start to finish......to REALLY appreciate it. By listening to the individual tracks ( if you're finding them on UA-cam....) .....you're missing out on the transitions from one song to the next. That's where a lot of the magic happens. Especially true with 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', & 'The Wall'. The segues between each song. 'The Wall' is like an entire opera. It will make sense, when you try it.
Absolutely. And not just with Pink Floyd. I still buy CDs so that I can get the full album experience. There's a continuity, a cohesiveness that doesn't apply when listening to individual songs, great as they may be.
Bro, you’re my hero. The fact that someone at 18 yrs old during the time of this reaction loves Pink Floyd as much as we did at your age and defined a generation and you recognize it’s the pinnacle of music-can’t get better than this instrumentally or lyrically and without faux modern technology. I’m 54 going on 55 in September and your reaction to Bob Seger’s Night Moves drove me here. A nostalgic song about young love that was the song of the summer back in ‘76 while I was at sleep away camp hearing it blast from one of my counselor’s transitor radios in my bunk all summer long and bringing back memories of the summer I danced with a girl for the first time at a social. If you want to hear Seger’s best live vocal listen to “Turn the Page” live! You give us hope that this new generation understands and appreciates the music, bands and artists that came before!
Nobody listens to “Great Gig in the Sky” that finishes the trip. If Pink Floyd was to come out today, all other music would be irrelevant. So glad you understand the music us old hippies grew up with. You have given me hope in our youth.😎👍✌️
I’m a 54 year old English man who grew up listening to pink floyd from the age of about 12. What an absolute pleasure it is to watch your genuine reactions to what is some of the greatest music ever made. Your wonderment to these songs brings back a lot of memories for me. I remember the first time hearing wish you were here and being completely blown away by it. Thanks for not pausing the songs as it would seem almost disrespectful. By the way I even named my cat gilmour.
They r a Masterpiece that will bring u into a journey in every albums they've made . Good to c young peoples reaction on their music . I've live in their generation and bless that I did 😎🇨🇦
It's wonderful that you are just experiencing what we felt back in the 70's..We weren't just single lovers, it was albums in those days that we loved, by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Cream, Black Sabbath, The Doors, The Who etc...and dare I say it, we got stoned on....Jeez the list is endless of the most amazing albums and groups from that time that we will never see the like again.. Takes me back to my hippie days, and brings a tear to my eye and listening back on these anthems through you and others reacting, I find I'm still a hippie at heart...Peace man..✌️💐🌹
Dude I’m 56 and grew up in the 70’s and a huge fan of classic rock music including Pink Floyd. It’s so awesome to see someone young like yourself really appreciate “real” music like Pink Floyd and other classic rock sounds from the 60’s,70’s and 80’s. Not the crap they call music today. You are correct when you said “Comfortably Numb” as well as some other Pink Floyd songs put you ( and myself) in an almost dreamlike and what I call a hypnotic like state of mind! They’re no music is simply incredible! Keep doing more reactions to awesome Classic Rock!🤘🤟😎🥁🎸
sometimes I look for new people on youtube who react to pink floyd songs. I do it because I, like many others, can no longer experience the emotion of my first listening. and it is so beautiful that your words reflect my thoughts.
Loved your reaction. The only thing you forgot to comment on about this song is the lyrics. Granted it was your first time listening to it. It was many years and thousands of times later that I was able to get all of the lyrics figured out. Remember that it came out before Google and Before Computers (B.C.). That said, I've been listening to this song and this album since it came out in 1973. With the advent of cd's, I've often left Dark Side of the Moon in my car's cd player for months at a time. In the past several years, I've alternated Dark Side with Wish You Were Here with the latter slightly edging out being my favorite of the two. Both are seamless, meaning when they end that seem to start again seamlessly. Absolutely incredible for long distance driving for hours and hours at a time. Almost 50 years of listening to these albums, they never get old. They get better with age. For example, this song "Time" has a different meaning to me now that I'm on the downhill descent of my life than it did when I was a young buck of 19 years old. It also had different meanings to me in my life in my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50, and now in my 60s. It is a music masterpiece even more profound than the Mona Lisa because the subject matter is always me, the listener and, as the listener, as the years go by my life experiences begin to add up and in doing so adds important events in my life to the lyrics. When the song ended, you were a little disappointed and wanted more. This song is just one part of the whole album. This is what was called a "concept album." Think of it like a book. This song was like picking up a book and just reading the third chapter. The album was designed to be listened to in its entirety from beginning to end. That's an alien concept to the music being made today and which is played on the radio. In the 1970s, Rock stations used to play the whole albums. Not just single songs. Back then, the only things on the FM dial were a few classical music stations and a couple of Rock stations where the disc jockey could play anything they wanted anytime they wanted to with very few commercial breaks. All of the popular music was on a ton of different AM stations from one end of the dial to the other. I recommend that you do a reaction of the Dark Side of the Moon album from beginning to end to get the full effect and complete understanding of the album Heck, I'm still listening to the album almost 50 years now and I still find new things in the music. Afterwards, I also recommend that you react to their album "Wish You Were Here." Trust me, it is an experience like no other. Best wishes on your channel. Really enjoy seeing someone like you getting into Pink Floyd. By the way, I just asked my wife of 40 years to get me a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon t shirt for Father's Day.
when i was younger i got the album im 65 now and this song now i can relate to the words time catching up on me now many thanks for your music pink floyd
👍 here’s some food for thought DSOTM made it back into the charts in 2020 at #193 giving the album an impressive 950 weeks tally in the top 200.... that’s over 18 years of the Albums life in the top 200 🤓
I first heard this album in 1975. Hey! Wait til' you hear 'Dogs' ( off their 'Animals' album...) The full album is 'Pigs On The Wing' ( a short reprise at the end of the album too.....like bookends...) 'Dogs', 'Pigs-3 Different Kinds', and 'Sheep'. 'Dogs' is a 17 minute track. The album was released in 1977. I remember where I was the first time I heard that one too. With headphones & sitting in a dark room. Perhaps a little weed as well. A MASTERPIECE. 'Animals'.
TIME is a wake-up call, hence all the alarm clocks going off simultaneously at the beginning of the song to get your attention. As someone else wrote about Pink Floyd, “You don’t just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd.”
This song has a lot more meaning to me now then when I first heard it in 1973... especially the "the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death".
When I first heard this song, with the wisdom of the ages in my 12 year-old soul, I thought I "got it". Now, all these years later, with possibly more years behind than in front of me, I feel like they wrote it with me in mind.
Remember that 73 was also around the time when affordable stereo Hi-Fi systems hit the marketplace. Can you imagine what it was like when your dad returned from the shop with one, a pair of headphones, and a copy of Dark Side of The Moon? To say that heads were permanently blown, would be an understatement. Who needed a NASA space rocket when you could visit the Dark Side of the Moon and come home again in little more than an hour, without leaving your mothers couch.
I walked into my brother' s house on a Saturday, around 18 years of age, and he put this album on what was then a state of the art McIntosh stero system. I 've never forgotten when I first heard this. When you're done with your reactions you'll love it even more, when you see that it's all about our life, all of our lives . If you get that, "Great Gig in the Sky" will make you cry. It still remains the greatest music I' ve ever heard.
I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.
I've been listening to Pink Floyd for 40ish years. It nearly brought me to tears to hear you getting so hooked on them. I've been losing faith in the tastes of the youth mainly because I could see that they were getting the short end of the talent stick by being fed the same kind of garbage over and over. But to see someone as youthful as you understanding that and recognizing the gems of such an amazing era of music as the 60s and 70s, it just restores so much hope for me. I envy you and the musical voyage you're embarking upon. Do what others are saying and set aside additional time to listen to these albums all the way through from start to finish without interruption. You're going to be blown away by it. Love your reactions. Keep going!!
The last 2 songs on this album, Brain Damage/Eclipse, will absolutely take you to a completely different dimension. Somewhere you have never been. You absolutely MUST play Eclipse right after Brain Damage, no delays. I guarantee that you will be blown away.
I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing PF Live 4 times and meeting the band. I was at the PULSE TOUR and it blew everyone's mind. The entire audience was in a state of shook when it was over. I have been to over 200 great rock concerts from all the great bands but NOBODY puts on a show like Pink Floyd.
Ok....I didn't need a new reaction channel but you came up in my cue and I wanted to hear the song actually so i listened and appreciated you not interrupting to analyze a song you supposedly are not through listening to for the first time! When you began to talk about what you had heard I noticed a keen sense of music and a genuineness many channels are sorely lacking. I remember hearing Floyd for my first time at probably close to your age and with the aid of some hallucinogenics back in the day...the Floyd dream experience was deliberate and well constructed. Just think... you never have to live another day without Pink Floyd and take it from me ...they still sound as good as they did 50 years ago....jack
I know this is an older post but I just watched it for the first time. This is the best Pink Floyd reaction I’ve seen. Everything you said, nailed it. This music is 50 years old and still relevant.
I first heard this album in 1973.....I was 13 yrs old at the time ......50 yrs later its my favorite album. Glad you enjoyed it ! I think your a Pink Floyd Fan my friend .
This song came out when I was 13 I am 62, I played it for my 13 yr old grandson today to get his reaction. Ya he wanted to hear more..lol love your reaction young man.
It makes me happy to hear this from such a young guy and understanding how far away the music industry has gone from true artistry. My 3 boys know because I’ve introduced them to bands that actually played their own instruments. Keep up the great work!
Shine on you crazy diamond is all of what you say. It will take you places. It was the first song of theirs I heard. Floyd don’t play they are my favorite band for all the reasons you speak of. Waiting to see more of your journey.
Thank you for playing the song all the way through and not pausing to voice an opinion. That really kills me with other reaction videos. I’m glad you appreciate one of the greatest bands of all time. This song is what got me into music and brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. I told my wife if I ever get amnesia the first thing she should do is play Time for me so I can hear it for the first time again.
Pink Floyd always seem to carry some of their psychedelic roots with them. That`s the `out of this world` vibe you get. It`s beautifully layered and split too. Of course the lyrics are pure poetry...and there`s the instrumentals, the `eargasm`. Have you introduced your folks to it yet?
I'm 82 years young this year, and I wonder how much TIME I've got left, I'm still managing to rock a bit, mainly in my rocking chair. Love and peace from Perth Australia 😎🖐🎶🎵🎶💕
I had a cd Carasol disk changer that you could set the alarm to and a track to wake up to.This is the song that woke me up every morning.The volume was set very high and used to scare the crap out of me every morning.
These bands from this era were so good that their demo tracks are becoming top sellers. And rightfully so, as they give us a glimpse into the creative process.
Man, I have to tell you, that your reactions to Pink Floyd come across as so genuine, that I simply have to follow your journey into one of my favourite bands of all time.
Welcome to the 70's, probably the most creative era in music history, this album lasted a record long time at no. 1 on the record charts, if you like synthesizers you'll like "any colour you like" on this album. If you ever get a chance to listen to it, notice the heartbeat
I first heard this maybe 25 years ago- it never gets old. Watching someone experience for the first time and truly appreciating it gives me hope for the future. Enjoying your journey and will be along for the ride. You may be apprehensive doing the whole album in one sitting for a review, but I can promise to you, I and probably everyone else here will watch every minute of it looking forward to your honest opinion.
Dark Side of the Moon was THE album that transformed and elevated Pink Floyd from a very popular psychedelic acid rock band into a super-group overnight! I was 18 when this album came out and was already a fan going back to The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Each album was getting so much better that a lot of us thought something like DSOTM would break out from this band. And they did with Dark Side! At the end of "Time", you said "That's it?" LOL!!... and you're correct my friend... that wasn't it!! The whole album (all progressive rock band's really) are meant to be heard beginning to end as many advise. There's nothing wrong about hearing a song highly recommended, and doing an awesome reaction video as yours because I, we had the same reaction back in '73! LOL! But I highly recommend you start at the beginning of DSOTM and do Speak To Me, Breath In the Air and On the Run together that totals to abt 7.5 minutes. Time would be next that you've now done. Then the incredible Great Gig In the Sky that will fill in for you what was missing at the end of Time. That would complete Side 1. Then do your vids starting Side 2 with Money and before you know it, you'll have their most seminal album in your video library. And when you hear the albums and do the vids this way, you will clearly understand when we strongly advise doing ALL concept albums end to end. @ 8:33 If you think listening to Time puts you in a dream state, do the album beginning to end and you may end up in a temporary coma!! LOL!! Don't worry, you'll snap out of it after a few minutes or a half hour, maybe! 😁 If the few PF videos I see are all you've heard of PF... man, dude you ain't heard nothing yet! Awesome reaction and assessment at the end! David Gilmour is that awesome signature guitarist. Have you listened to any Yes? ✌️😎
Well Done! I've enjoyed your PF reactions. Watching you takes me back 50 years to when I first heard DSOTM. I've never forgotten the experience and it's fun watching you react the same way.
Epic is a word that I use to describe Pink Floyd. It is life changing. I find it very uplifting to see people discover and appreciate Pink Floyd for the first time. Great reaction! I’ll be back for more. Peace my friend. ✌🏼
Loving you guys discovering good old Pink Floyd.Im 47 and listened to them since I was 14 ...this is timeless music and will be listened to well after we have gone.Theses guys are musicians pure and simple.
Exactly! When you asked wow is that it?! Take the Dark Side of The Moon, start to finish..... They knew you want it to never end, so you just go from song to song, revealing whole story, thru the magic of the album. Enjoy!
Love your Pink Floyd reactions! Glad you found them. Next, from 1994 Pulse concert, SORROW, LEARNING TO FLY, HIGH HOPES, COMING BACK TO LIFE. Just amazing music and stageshow!
#YAY 👍☺️✌️ Great reaction! I'm sure I'll watch it again. I was actually thinking that I'd definitely want to rewatch this fun, passionate, genuine awe for 'One Of The Top 25 Best Things To Experience In Life On Earth, EVER!' 🤡🤔💩🤭 #Rewatchability100PercentPlus 😃 #Thanks4TheShare 🤓
Take the time to listen to the whole 'Dark Side Of The Moon' album from the opening heartbeat to the closing heartbeat, everything in between is a story that grabs you by the collar and pulls you in...Also dip into 'Echoes' and ' One Of These Days' from the 1972 live Pompeii concert👌✌
35 years ago, Pink Floyd also changed my life when I started listening to their albums The Wall, DSOTM and Wish You Were Here. 35 years have passed and I hear you say the exact same thing that happened to me so long ago. I think only great songs have the power to do that. There is a world before and after PF, don't you agree?
Pink Floyd are the Shakespeare, The bard of music, they make it feel they are speaking to you personally... always listen to album version first the live... HIGH HOPES.!... 1994 live athe Pulse London.. it will get deep In your sole.. James
I love this song so much. You think you are the only one hanging on in quiet desperation, when in fact we are all hanging on in crushing loneliness and quiet desperation.
I feel so privileged to have been in my 20s when Dark Side of the Moon came out in '73 - I've been able to enjoy it for almost 50 years. It never fails to impress - as does Pink Floyd's "Pulse". Our music is safe with people like you enthusing about it. Tell your kids about it, too ;-) My heartfelt thanks to you.
I'm 61 and the very first 78 rpm record I bought was "Dark Side of The Moon". The cover art from it is etched above my name on black marble. The Funeral Parlor has a CD I made of all Pink Floyd that is to be played at my Wake. Listen and take something from it. Your life is very short. Welcome, you've been "Floyded"!! The narrow beam of pure, clean innocent light traveling upward towards Life, the Pyramid. You travel through life picking up experiences along the way. Then you leave life full of the color's that represent those life experiences. The brighter the light's, the brighter your life was. I'm dying of two Cancer's, Non-Hodgekin's Lymphoma and Lung Cancer. I have no Spleen and no left Lung to Cancer and I have nine Stent's.
What an amazing reaction! insight! passion detail. And the rare capacity to listen to the whole song without pausing and remember all the details & nuances to share! I have to subscribe.
Should be mandatory listening for everyone, everywhere. This is music, this is where the bar was set...50 years ago, and very few have come anywhere near that bar since.
I was about the age you are now when I first heard Pink Floyd, and my life was changed forever. I don't disparage pop music, which has a place, but I didn't know music could be like this. Since then I've gone full-in on progressive rock (Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, etc.) and haven't looked back. In fact, this music helped me appreciate a ton of the other kinds of bands and music I've heard since. The start was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon! Keep it up!
"Pink Floyd is the Panicle of music." I couldn't agree more. Edit: That was a great reaction video and yes you earned a new sub. It was a breath of fresh air to see someone from the younger generation that gets it.
I really like that you said subscribe if we think you've earned it. And i dig how much you are appreciating Pink Floyd. I agree with you 100%. They are the greatest band of all time. I've just subscribed 👍, you definitely have earned it. 👏
we were honoured to listen and go and see the great bands from the late 60s to the later stuff floyd ,zep ceam ,jethro tull hem lake and palmer gong, tangerine dream iso tomita to name a few
just subbed yaw...... luv that you dont chop up the experience and wait for your insight, luv this kid, great reaction, welcome to the P.F. rabbit hole giddy up son pure vida from C.R.
The older you get the more this song really hits you!!
Totally agree with you Michelle. Listening to it now that I'm 67 as opposed to first hearing it when I was 20.....wow!
@@CharCanuck14 yes I've listen to it a hundred times or more then when I hit my 50's it made me cry!
@@moonchild6750 Me too! That's when the lyrics really hit home.
At my age; it motivates me...:)...But I was there when it came out...:)
And to think that Roger Waters wrote the lyrics in his late 20's. Amazing!!
There's about a billion people in this world that would agree with every word you said.These are masterpieces loved your reaction it's very encouraging to see a young man such as yourself that gets it
Here here
I agree.
I agree and the other 6 billion just haven’t heard Pink Floyd or they would agree too. 😊
I met David Gilmour in 1984. He gave me an autographed album. I shook both of his hands (he smiled) I told him he is the "Master Of The Stratocaster". I asked him to describe his playing style, he said..... "I strike a note, bend it, shake it, and then release it".... YES he does, better than anyone else ever did.
I had the same experience just over a year ago. Pink Floyd completely changed my perspective on life and music
That's cool!
You don't just listen to Floyd, you experience it!
Pink Floyd's 1973 "Dark Side of the Moon" album was on the top 50 best selling album for 17 years straight. You must listen to the whole 43 minute album because it's practically one song about birth, life struggles, and finally death. Thumbs up for your reaction.
Spot on, it really needs to be listened to in its entirety. Opens the mind to the reality of the human experience, its amazingly amazing.
...and have the words to see while they sing it....
Listening to a Dark side of the moon masters disk with the lights out...pure bliss.
Produced by Alan Parsons who has similarly deep music
In 1980 I was working on my dad's friend's boat for a good part of the spring/summer and I listened to Dark Side of the Moon non stop and loved it from the start
Pink Floyd dark side of the moon is still in the top 100 selling albums. That’s 48 yrs. straight
It’s hard to believe that so many younger people have not heard Pink Floyd. They had a very special place in the lives of many in my generation. They were not just a popular band, they were serious, a higher kind of sound, vast and beautiful.
But it's really good to see these young people picking up on these classics. It gives me hope for the future of the planet.
You NEED to listen to the album in its entirety from start to finish......to REALLY appreciate it.

I completely agree, he should stop & ride the album from beginning to end & do a reaction to the entire album in real time 🙏🤷♂️
It's no good listening to these floyd records out of sequence, songs and records. Meadow to Live at Pompeii.
Don't leave out Animals.
Absolutely. And not just with Pink Floyd. I still buy CDs so that I can get the full album experience. There's a continuity, a cohesiveness that doesn't apply when listening to individual songs, great as they may be.

when i was younger i got the album im 65 now and this song now i can relate to the words time catching up on me now many thanks for your music pink floyd
👍 here’s some food for thought DSOTM made it back into the charts in 2020 at #193 giving the album an impressive 950 weeks tally in the top 200.... that’s over 18 years of the Albums life in the top 200 🤓
I first heard this album in 1975. Hey! Wait til' you hear 'Dogs' ( off their 'Animals' album...) The full album is 'Pigs On The Wing' ( a short reprise at the end of the album too.....like bookends...) 'Dogs', 'Pigs-3 Different Kinds', and 'Sheep'. 'Dogs' is a 17 minute track. The album was released in 1977. I remember where I was the first time I heard that one too. With headphones & sitting in a dark room. Perhaps a little weed as well. A MASTERPIECE. 'Animals'.
TIME is a wake-up call, hence all the alarm clocks going off simultaneously at the beginning of the song to get your attention. As someone else wrote about Pink Floyd, “You don’t just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd.”
This song has a lot more meaning to me now then when I first heard it in 1973... especially the "the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death".
When I first heard this song, with the wisdom of the ages in my 12 year-old soul, I thought I "got it". Now, all these years later, with possibly more years behind than in front of me, I feel like they wrote it with me in mind.
Remember that 73 was also around the time when affordable stereo Hi-Fi systems hit the marketplace. Can you imagine what it was like when your dad returned from the shop with one, a pair of headphones, and a copy of Dark Side of The Moon? To say that heads were permanently blown, would be an understatement. Who needed a NASA space rocket when you could visit the Dark Side of the Moon and come home again in little more than an hour, without leaving your mothers couch.
I walked into my brother' s house on a Saturday, around 18 years of age, and he put this album on what was then a state of the art McIntosh stero system. I 've never forgotten when I first heard this. When you're done with your reactions you'll love it even more, when you see that it's all about our life, all of our lives . If you get that, "Great Gig in the Sky" will make you cry. It still remains the greatest music I' ve ever heard.
The 70's is a treasure trove of great music.
I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.
I'm 64 now, with every passing year these lyrics become more true. The amazing thing is that they were written by a young man.
And you have (among others) Echoes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Great Gig In The Sky yet to come. I wish I was you.
I've been listening to Pink Floyd for 40ish years. It nearly brought me to tears to hear you getting so hooked on them. I've been losing faith in the tastes of the youth mainly because I could see that they were getting the short end of the talent stick by being fed the same kind of garbage over and over. But to see someone as youthful as you understanding that and recognizing the gems of such an amazing era of music as the 60s and 70s, it just restores so much hope for me. I envy you and the musical voyage you're embarking upon. Do what others are saying and set aside additional time to listen to these albums all the way through from start to finish without interruption. You're going to be blown away by it. Love your reactions. Keep going!!
The last 2 songs on this album, Brain Damage/Eclipse, will absolutely take you to a completely different dimension. Somewhere you have never been. You absolutely MUST play Eclipse right after Brain Damage, no delays. I guarantee that you will be blown away.
I was in high school when this album came out. I never get tired to listening to it. I also had that same hair cut. I miss my hair.
I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing PF Live 4 times and meeting the band. I was at the PULSE TOUR and it blew everyone's mind. The entire audience was in a state of shook when it was over. I have been to over 200 great rock concerts from all the great bands but NOBODY puts on a show like Pink Floyd.
Ok....I didn't need a new reaction channel but you came up in my cue and I wanted to hear the song actually so i listened and appreciated you not interrupting to analyze a song you supposedly are not through listening to for the first time! When you began to talk about what you had heard I noticed a keen sense of music and a genuineness many channels are sorely lacking. I remember hearing Floyd for my first time at probably close to your age and with the aid of some hallucinogenics back in the day...the Floyd dream experience was deliberate and well constructed. Just think... you never have to live another day without Pink Floyd and take it from me ...they still sound as good as they did 50 years ago....jack
I know this is an older post but I just watched it for the first time. This is the best Pink Floyd reaction I’ve seen. Everything you said, nailed it. This music is 50 years old and still relevant.
I’m telling you, you Pink Floyd, Sorrow and Coming Back To Life , Pulse concert is an eargasm.
6 Gilmore solos between the two.
I first heard this album in 1973.....I was 13 yrs old at the time ......50 yrs later its my favorite album. Glad you enjoyed it ! I think your a Pink Floyd Fan my friend .
Pink Floyd didn't make songs. They created experiences. Love your reaction commentary!
Thanks man
This song came out when I was 13 I am 62, I played it for my 13 yr old grandson today to get his reaction. Ya he wanted to hear more..lol love your reaction young man.
This is simply my favorite solo from Pink Floyd... Hard to do a classification, but THIS one is my personal favorite.
It makes me happy to hear this from such a young guy and understanding how far away the music industry has gone from true artistry. My 3 boys know because I’ve introduced them to bands that actually played their own instruments. Keep up the great work!
This is probably one of my favorite Floyd songs but I have many more. I was in high school when this album came out.
Shine on you crazy diamond is all of what you say. It will take you places. It was the first song of theirs I heard. Floyd don’t play they are my favorite band for all the reasons you speak of. Waiting to see more of your journey.
Oh and I’m 53 and I still listen to them all the time. 😊
I'm 62 and remember hearing this album for the first time.
Thank you for playing the song all the way through and not pausing to voice an opinion. That really kills me with other reaction videos. I’m glad you appreciate one of the greatest bands of all time. This song is what got me into music and brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. I told my wife if I ever get amnesia the first thing she should do is play Time for me so I can hear it for the first time again.
Dark Side Of The Moon has got to be one of the best selling albums of all time! Timeless! It stilll gives me chills even after all these years.
I am so happy that young generations understand genius, I have lived with them for over 50 yrs, just cannot believe it 😳
Great gig in the sky follows this - a must listen. Shine on you crazy diamond parts I-V will take you to a new level.
One of my favorite things is watching someone experience Floyd for the first time, hehe
Pink Floyd always seem to carry some of their psychedelic roots with them. That`s the `out of this world` vibe you get.
It`s beautifully layered and split too. Of course the lyrics are pure poetry...and there`s the instrumentals, the `eargasm`.
Have you introduced your folks to it yet?
I'm 82 years young this year, and I wonder how much TIME I've got left, I'm still managing to rock a bit, mainly in my rocking chair. Love and peace from Perth Australia 😎🖐🎶🎵🎶💕
Try and picture us oldsters reminiscing about hearing these songs for the first time. Your reactions are very similar to our own back in the day.
Love your reaction and you are right they are the greatest
I had a cd Carasol disk changer that you could set the alarm to and a track to wake up to.This is the song that woke me up every morning.The volume was set very high and used to scare the crap out of me every morning.
These bands from this era were so good that their demo tracks are becoming top sellers. And rightfully so, as they give us a glimpse into the creative process.
Man, I have to tell you, that your reactions to Pink Floyd come across as so genuine, that I simply have to follow your journey into one of my favourite bands of all time.
Pink Floyd is more than music, you don't just listen to it, you feeeeeel it.
They are indeed the best band of all time, the most sublime and textured. Welcome to the machine. 😉 Loved your amazement.
Welcome to the 70's, probably the most creative era in music history, this album lasted a record long time at no. 1 on the record charts, if you like synthesizers you'll like "any colour you like" on this album. If you ever get a chance to listen to it, notice the heartbeat
I first heard this maybe 25 years ago- it never gets old. Watching someone experience for the first time and truly appreciating it gives me hope for the future. Enjoying your journey and will be along for the ride.
You may be apprehensive doing the whole album in one sitting for a review, but I can promise to you, I and probably everyone else here will watch every minute of it looking forward to your honest opinion.
Dark Side of the Moon was THE album that transformed and elevated Pink Floyd from a very popular psychedelic acid rock band into a super-group overnight! I was 18 when this album came out and was already a fan going back to The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Each album was getting so much better that a lot of us thought something like DSOTM would break out from this band. And they did with Dark Side! At the end of "Time", you said "That's it?" LOL!!... and you're correct my friend... that wasn't it!! The whole album (all progressive rock band's really) are meant to be heard beginning to end as many advise. There's nothing wrong about hearing a song highly recommended, and doing an awesome reaction video as yours because I, we had the same reaction back in '73! LOL! But I highly recommend you start at the beginning of DSOTM and do Speak To Me, Breath In the Air and On the Run together that totals to abt 7.5 minutes. Time would be next that you've now done. Then the incredible Great Gig In the Sky that will fill in for you what was missing at the end of Time. That would complete Side 1. Then do your vids starting Side 2 with Money and before you know it, you'll have their most seminal album in your video library. And when you hear the albums and do the vids this way, you will clearly understand when we strongly advise doing ALL concept albums end to end. @ 8:33 If you think listening to Time puts you in a dream state, do the album beginning to end and you may end up in a temporary coma!! LOL!! Don't worry, you'll snap out of it after a few minutes or a half hour, maybe! 😁 If the few PF videos I see are all you've heard of PF... man, dude you ain't heard nothing yet! Awesome reaction and assessment at the end! David Gilmour is that awesome signature guitarist. Have you listened to any Yes? ✌️😎
Well Done! I've enjoyed your PF reactions. Watching you takes me back 50 years to when I first heard DSOTM. I've never forgotten the experience and it's fun watching you react the same way.
Epic is a word that I use to describe Pink Floyd. It is life changing. I find it very uplifting to see people discover and appreciate Pink Floyd for the first time. Great reaction! I’ll be back for more. Peace my friend. ✌🏼
Really enjoying your journey of discovery with Floyd.
It’s a hell of a ride.
Loving you guys discovering good old Pink Floyd.Im 47 and listened to them since I was 14 ...this is timeless music and will be listened to well after we have gone.Theses guys are musicians pure and simple.
The thing with dark side of the moon is you have to listen to it one track after the other.
Pure genius ❤
Exactly! When you asked wow is that it?! Take the Dark Side of The Moon, start to finish..... They knew you want it to never end, so you just go from song to song, revealing whole story, thru the magic of the album. Enjoy!
Gotta see 'em live. Not simply a concert, a life changing experience.
Mother and two suns in the sunset both by pink Floyd.👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
If you are in physical pain, their music makes the pain go away. You are correct in indicating that the music takes you to another place.
Love your Pink Floyd reactions! Glad you found them. Next, from 1994 Pulse concert, SORROW, LEARNING TO FLY, HIGH HOPES, COMING BACK TO LIFE. Just amazing music and stageshow!
Yes 🙌 it is the pinnacle! To this day, it gives me goosebumps
And now listen to Mother, one of my favourites after Comfortably Numb and Time!!! I am 64 and these songs still give me chills!!!
It's so exciting to see someone from this generation appreciated classic rock. Pink Floyd's sound is unique.
Richard Wright (synthesizer) was huge part of their sound. Along with his great voice on backup. Sorely missed and why Pink Floyd can be no more. RIP
#YAY 👍☺️✌️
Great reaction! I'm sure I'll watch it again.
I was actually thinking that I'd definitely want to rewatch this fun, passionate, genuine awe for 'One Of The Top 25 Best Things To Experience In Life On Earth,
EVER!' 🤡🤔💩🤭
#Rewatchability100PercentPlus 😃
#Thanks4TheShare 🤓
Take the time to listen to the whole 'Dark Side Of The Moon' album from the opening heartbeat to the closing heartbeat, everything in between is a story that grabs you by the collar and pulls you in...Also dip into 'Echoes' and ' One Of These Days' from the 1972 live Pompeii concert👌✌
Everything you said is on point. Plus the lyrics is utterly existential/philosophical and intelligently well put and poetic.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" will blow you away too
35 years ago, Pink Floyd also changed my life when I started listening to their albums The Wall, DSOTM and Wish You Were Here. 35 years have passed and I hear you say the exact same thing that happened to me so long ago. I think only great songs have the power to do that. There is a world before and after PF, don't you agree?
Hey guys check out my pateron I got some great videos I know u will love on their Patreon.com/rockmusicpodcast
Pink Floyd are the Shakespeare, The bard of music, they make it feel they are speaking to you personally... always listen to album version first the live... HIGH HOPES.!... 1994 live athe Pulse London.. it will get deep In your sole..
James
Love your excitement reacting to Pink Floyd, enjoy the journey 😃
I love this song so much. You think you are the only one hanging on in quiet desperation, when in fact we are all hanging on in crushing loneliness and quiet desperation.
Pink Floyd is a message, a communication, all via musical transportation😌
I feel so privileged to have been in my 20s when Dark Side of the Moon came out in '73 - I've been able to enjoy it for almost 50 years. It never fails to impress - as does Pink Floyd's "Pulse".
Our music is safe with people like you enthusing about it. Tell your kids about it, too ;-)
My heartfelt thanks to you.
Early pink floyd is great to see them as young inovaters .Watch Echos live at pompeii.
I'm 61 and the very first 78 rpm record I bought was "Dark Side of The Moon". The cover art from it is etched above my name on black marble. The Funeral Parlor has a CD I made of all Pink Floyd that is to be played at my Wake. Listen and take something from it. Your life is very short. Welcome, you've been "Floyded"!! The narrow beam of pure, clean innocent light traveling upward towards Life, the Pyramid. You travel through life picking up experiences along the way. Then you leave life full of the color's that represent those life experiences. The brighter the light's, the brighter your life was. I'm dying of two Cancer's, Non-Hodgekin's Lymphoma and Lung Cancer. I have no Spleen and no left Lung to Cancer and I have nine Stent's.
What an amazing reaction! insight! passion detail. And the rare capacity to listen to the whole song without pausing and remember all the details & nuances to share! I have to subscribe.
Back in the 70s we felt like you do now how pink floyd changed you those feelings you have now you can understand us in the 70s love you bro:
Should be mandatory listening for everyone, everywhere. This is music, this is where the bar was set...50 years ago, and very few have come anywhere near that bar since.
Listen to this album all the way through.
Great reaction and thoughts. And I so love that guitar solo!
I was about the age you are now when I first heard Pink Floyd, and my life was changed forever. I don't disparage pop music, which has a place, but I didn't know music could be like this. Since then I've gone full-in on progressive rock (Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, etc.) and haven't looked back. In fact, this music helped me appreciate a ton of the other kinds of bands and music I've heard since. The start was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon! Keep it up!
"Pink Floyd is the Panicle of music." I couldn't agree more.
Edit: That was a great reaction video and yes you earned a new sub. It was a breath of fresh air to see someone from the younger generation that gets it.
Awesome! Thank you!
I really like that you said subscribe if we think you've earned it. And i dig how much you are appreciating Pink Floyd. I agree with you 100%. They are the greatest band of all time. I've just subscribed 👍, you definitely have earned it. 👏
we were honoured to listen and go and see the great bands from the late 60s to the later stuff floyd ,zep ceam ,jethro tull hem lake and palmer gong, tangerine dream iso tomita to name a few
Dude, did you just transport here from the early 70's? I was your age when this came out. Nice reaction video. Peace!
just subbed yaw...... luv that you dont chop up the experience and wait for your insight, luv this kid, great reaction, welcome to the P.F. rabbit hole giddy up son pure vida from C.R.
Had this experience 47 years ago nothing has changed
