"And you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again" Is the most profound line ever written in a song. At least to me.
"And all your money won't another minute buy" from "Dust in the Wind". "Time" and "Dust in the Wind" may be the two greatest songs written about the subject of time and how finite life is. They both are eloquent and profound in their wording.
@@waynepurcell6058 Time is an elusive master- listen to "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce, "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin, the entire Moody Blues' album "Days of Future Passed", and Pink Floyd's final studio cut, "High Hopes".
One aspect of this song I never see people talk about: The instrumentation on this song is structured in a way to reflect time itself. The beginning is very simple and goes on almost too long. The beginning is followed by the middle full of turmoil, aguish, high emotion and struggle. Then the end is simple, but more complex than the beginning, and it's almost like they ended the song in a way that feels too soon.
It mimics the acceleration of life, and covers birth, teenage, middle age, old age, and death. It got faster as you get older and ends too soon.....its an absolute masterpiece.
And the damn ticking sound makes a lot of people feel anxious, because it's faster than a second or a heart beat. And then it tells you things to actually make you feel anxious... Most underappreciated song ever made. Should be up there as one of, if not, the best song ever made.
@@TehMehKehIen The clicking is most likely a good old fashioned stop watch. In context it's only used during tests/competitions and other "high stakes" life events. People subconsciously register that as being judged.
That first guitar solo almost makes me cry. It’s not about a “most spectacular” solo, it’s unique in seeming like an unfiltered direct line from emotion to guitar, somehow simultaneously poetic - and powerful. Masterpiece. And yes: the passage of time becomes increasingly terrifying 😄
Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece. A concept album, it is meant to be listened to from first song to last in order, the album deals with themes of greed, time, conflict and mental illness. Great reaction guys, you will enjoy your trip down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole.
@@B3A5TxMODE I remember like it was yesterday, seeing Floyd at Earls Court in 1994, when they opened the second half of the concert with Speak To Me, then Breathe, then On The Run, Time and Great Gig - and before I knew it they had played the whole DSOTM album in full. An evening I will never forget!
Forget Pompeii, listen to the real song - the audio version. I has more of everything. Guitar, organ, drums...and the production is out of this world!!! And you get to listen to the song in it's entirety. SO MUCH BETTER!
@@metalhead4135 I love this version, it never ceases to amaze me how the guys just rock up to an ancient amphitheater in Pompeii and do their thing. Could any other band get away with it?
Wait until you guys see a video of Pink Floyd live. Their concerts are legendary not only for the music, but for their light shows and special effects.
As I really like your intelligent thoughts and have written a longer comment about your reaction I did want to STRONGLY ADVISE you to GET A DIARY and just wrote a few short lines every day about where and when you were and you will appreciate it when you are 66 like I am now. Although my memory is excellent ( I still remember all 40 children in my Primary school year of 1963 a mere 57 years ago !) there are some blanks/ Did I see the Dutch Group Focus or not? Did I visit a particular Football stadium? Did my best Mate also go to my Boys Club and as he died, suddenly 6 years ago so now I will never know. JUST A FEW LINES A DAY and in 40 years' time you WILL appreciate it, I promise you. Good Luck !
Then it evolves into a band like Phish with the best lights to ever touch the earth. Not to mention the musicianship. In 1998 they learned DSOTM in one day and surprised the crowd by preforming the album the next night.
"The sun is the same in a relatively way but you're older, Shorter and breath and one day closer to death" Our seemingly long lives of 75 to 80 something years is but a second in the life of our Sun, going on 5 Billion years old! Really kinda puts things in perspective doesn't it guys? How small and limited our time is here with respect to the world around us. These words will take on deeper meaning the older you get, and will never leave you. This song is the definition of timeless.
Indeed, if you live to be 80 years old: You will have lived: 29,200 days You will have lived: 700,800 hours You will have lived: 42,048,000 minutes You will have lived: 2,522,880,000 seconds
@@delphi-moochymaker62 Depends on what that 75 or 80 is like. My dad lived to be 78 but the last two years of that were under Hospice care. Every couple of days the hospice nurse would have to dig impacted feces out of his rectum. I had to wash his privates and rear while making sure his catheter was sanitized and he had no excessive blood in his urine daily. I hope I'M lucky enough to NOT live long enough to suffer through what he went through. To healthy to die, not healthy enough to take care of himself and live. It was pitiful.
when i was 16 i saw Pink Floyd in concert Vancouver Canada, I’m 63 now and time has never dulled the meaning of this song, I really enjoy watching people’s reactions to Pink Floyd, their music will mystify people forever
What a GREAT Reaction! I was really impressed not only with your thoughts on the passing of time but on the way you interacted on this. Our friend on the right had heard this and led the way but did not give too much away about what was to follow and our friend on the right grasped very quickly the concept with his wise words. I am glad that I have already reacted and I predict a bright future for you .....TIME for me ??? I WAS THERE in 1973 when they played this, soon after it's release, in Earls Court, West London with 18,000 others indoors and the last 47 years have flown by (It accelerates with each decade ) and now I am a very fit 66 years old but I AM 66, not 26 lol
Once you've heard the lyrics 'Shorter of Breath and One Day Closer to Death', you can never 'Un' hear it. You'll recall those words many more times in your life time, in fact the older you get, the more you'll think of those words. I'm guessing pretty much until the day you die. I'm nearly 60 years old now, and I first heard the song 'Time' (along with the entire DSOTM album), when I was 12 years old. I still think of those lyrics 'Shorter of Breath and One Day Closer to Death', more and more as I get older. With the lyrics 'One Day you find 10 Years have Gone Behind You, No One told you when to Run, You Missed the Starting Gun', you'll recall and reflect on those words as you get older, and imagine what it will be like when you one day find that not only 10 years have gone behind you, but 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, and even 50 years have gone behind you. The only thing that will not have changed about your life, is that it will always hold true that you 'Missed the Starting Gun'. Make the most of the time you have in life, regardless of your age. Great video, I'll be watching more of your videos in the future. 'Time' permitting.
_Then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no-one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun._ I'm 62, and that's the story of my life. I should have listened harder.
Probably my favorite song of all time. It changed my life. Sitting in my best friends room, smoking a joint. 16 years old. Black lights on. Lights off. Listening to the dark side of the moon. When this song came on, my view on life changed. Not bc someone told me life is fast and I should slow down to appreciate it, but bc when these guys spoke, I felt their emotion. I knew it was real. It sunk in. Life is challenging, hard, and very very fast. You have to appreciate every little part of it, even the failures. Bc at least they bring emotion. It’s better then nothing right?
“You run and you run to catch up to the sun but it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind you again.” You can’t catch up. Time will move on no matter how you try to slow it.
Tanta perfección hace mezclar los sentimientos en cada acorde, en cada letra, una verdadera lucha entre las lágrimas, el relax, la desesperación, la tristeza y alegría, la exitacion... la propia existencia.
Loving your reactions to the greatest band ever, your understanding is superb. My new mantra, now I'm of advanced years, is a line from this song: 'The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say'. So deep, so full of meaning to us older, lifelong listeners.
Excellent reaction. You reminded me of how I felt when I first heard this song back in 1973, but you described your feeling much better than I could. It's wonderful to be able to share such emotion and enjoyment over the years. Thank you.👍😃👍
"The sun is the same in a relative way...but you're older" As you get older...trust me on this, the keener you feel, and the more aware of time you become.
I first listened to this song when I was 17. I'm 40 now. Time has flown by and the meaning of this song changes with each decade that goes by. A timeless song called Time about time going by and how you perceive it in different stages of your life. What a masterpiece this is. But really, the big 4 Pink Floyd albums, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall are IMO the most profound and best non classical music ever written and recorded. Nobody comes close to this.
You guys are amazing! It really brings tears in my eyes by seeing you react to this amazing peace of art and also the vid Sultans of Swing.... I can watch this for hours... Thanks guys, and all the best! Hope to see more of you watching pink Floyd and Dire Straits Live (or Mark Knopfler with latest version of theme from local hero, life)
You MUST experience them live because their music was so visual as well. The Pulse tour concert is legendary. The song Comfortably Numb has what many consider the greatest EMOTIVE guitar solo in rock history by David Gilmore. Not fast, not technical, but Gilmore could make his guitar sing, weep and wail. He turned his guitar into another voice. PLEASE watch this live......I do believe you will be awestruck.
I am a recent subscriber but it is EXACTLY reviews like this that brought me here!! Thank you for your obvious appreciation of the music of my generation.
Amazing reaction fellas. I like how the right brother dont know if he's Patrick or George really digs solos and Praises Gilmour and how his guitar really builds the album. They don't interrupt the song too much and they can indentify the parts where you dont have to cut plus the length of the video is perfect.
This song is 1 of 3 songs I have put on a flash drive and given to my daughter to play upon my death. It's my life....and I want her to understand how short life can be......enjoy it.....don't waste it.....
"And we are watching lyrics as well, guys," as the one brother has his eyes closed and getting ready to be FULLY immersed. I enjoyed your reaction especially your commentary as it was spot on with the intention of the lyrics. I also appreciate when you rewind after commentary so that you do not lose the momentum and transitions.
Yes, well said, so important so as not to lose the thread - wow! makes you appreciate the working brain doesn't it (?) that we can just reestablish the link - and yet we almost always worry that we won't, worry that that moment in time is irretrievable 😖 it's like "you missed the starting gun" is a recurring theme. Just like TIME .. Aah well! At least I'm home right now. But this too shall pass - but Pink Floyd helps me dare to dream of bigger things than heaven 🤪🤗💕 The rest of the Universe for one thing. Hope you all can make it 🙏 I'll see you when you get there 🥰❤💕
This is one of my fav Pink Floyd tunes. The lyrics are so meaningful, especially as u get older. Roger Waters, who wrote the lyrics, was exploring some deep themes for a guy around 30. Love the solo and feel of the song. PF are absolute legends! That transition after the solo always sounds like “opening up dark shades and letting sunlight shine in.” Beautiful. That line about “u run to catch up w the sun but it’s sinking, running around to come up behind u again” is pure magic!
You can tell they've heard this before because the guy on the right is mouthing the words and they're predicting what the song is about before the lyrics are sung.
Yeah, its like when you're young, you think you have all the time in the world. But the older you get , the faster time seems to go by. Just another amazing song off one of the greatest albums ever created.
You two are a breath of fresh air. You listen then stop the music (sometimes at the wrong time) but hey we have all done it. Your reactions are priceless and you are knowledgeable about some aspects of Floyd. My late brother Colin introduced me to LED Zep like this,stuck on a pair of headphones on me aged 12 then a week later Floyd. He was born in 51 so lived a great hazy life through the 60,s. Keep up the great reactions guys .
Hi George & Patrick Pink Floyd are my forever fav Band Really like to see your clips , keep it up I will send you a list of various songs to include in your reactions clips Tc & stay safe Manwel
You are killing it. I can relate to what you are saying. I am 44 and this song still gives me chills when I hear it. I first heard it when I was 16, my third time smoking weed. Mind blowing.
in every reaction of this song i always pay close attention to the line "and then one day you find ten years have got behind you...." to see that moment of clarity in the listeners eyes. in this one, one person knew it was coming and watched along with me as it came to the other. nice one.
You guys really need to do any live versions of Pink Floyd. Their stage performance, the back-up singers, and David Gilmour's fingers on his guitar are all something to behold!!
This song always reminds me if how my stepfather taped this song off the radio over one of my music tapes.(Yes I'm that old)Like right in the middle of one of my 80's songs. Still cracks me up to this day.
I'm sure lots of people have said but this album should really be listened to at least once all the way through without stopping as it makes a whole and has reprises in it but this is a wonderful song and I'm so glad you loved it, this album is very special to many people ❤
A really genuine reaction that perfectly explained the meaning of Roger Waters lyrics. If it made you reflect on life, that's nothing compared to how you'll feel hearing this masterpiece when you reach my age of 69. It hits you in the guts wondering where the hell have those years gone. A very poignant song indeed.
Those clocks and chimes in the beginning are like midnight Christmas Eve for Ebenezer Scrooge. The ghost of Christmas past is his first visitor, then Christmas present and then the specter of things to come. Don’t let so much time slip away without ever saying what you want to say or doing what you want to do.
I learned to play guitar just so I could play that solo and comfortably numb solo. I have a cassette tape recording with me playing both. Sat the guitar down and ten+ years has got behind me since I've even picked one up.
the back ground singers were sent from above.. And as you get older the song will become more relevant. Right after you realize 10 years have got behind you.but you guys have pretty much nailed Pink Floyd well done
And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun, what are you guys doing just sitting there, lol , love your reactions, I'm just sitting here watching you guys, but I'm 63 now, stil my my favorite song of all time
Hello guys, I am a 63 year old Pink Floyd fan and I became a fan from their inception. Here's the strangest part, in all the years listening and learning it on guitar I had never noticed the heartbeat!! It took you two gentlemen to point it out to me and now the song is even better. Thank you for teaching me something beautiful today.
Love your passion and enthusiasm. I’m sure you’ve listened to the whole of ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ from beginning to end, as it should be. Only about 44 minutes or so. I have what seems a million times or more. I bought it when it was released in 1973 and will never tire of hearing it. A Musical Masterpiece. 🎶❤️🎶
For me, the song starts with a heart beat, like a foetus waiting to be born. When the lyrics start, that is the start of life. The middle is a reflection on your life as you grow older and then song winds down, like you do when you get older and culminates in the final moments at a funeral, tolling of he iron bell etc, which draws the song and life to a conclusion. It really is a beautiful song and quite an experience. Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Which is quite often thanks to these reaction channels 😂
Great video. I just stumbled onto you UA-cam channel. Great reaction to a great song here. I agree with your comments about this song. This song has my favorite guitar solo of all time. David Gilmour doesn't play fast, but he doesn't have to. He is extremely good at eliciting emotion from the notes, and that is most important.
Bro's: "When you are young and full of energy..." Man, you guys are still young!! But really great to see some younger people listen to, appreciate, and then discuss Pink Floyd songs. 👍
The ending of the song makes much more sense when you realize that the entire album is one long song. Taking one track out of context cuts off some of the meaning.
Watching you guys is like looking at myself 40years ago when this first came out. We played the vinyl until it would barely play. We even had it on 8 track , so that we could ride through the Allegheny National Forest listening to this masterpiece. Roger Waters is a brilliant lyricist.
The part that always amazes me is the age of the band members when they wrote this. To be that young, and have that good a grasp on time and our lifespans, and how they end up feeling so fleeting as we get older. So many of us wish we had understood this song back when we first heard it.
This was Alan Parsons first engineering job! Check out Alan Parsons Project! Often with Seventies star John Miles on vocals! Pink Floyd Comfortably numb live, pulse, is THE best Guitar solo ever!!

Masters of their craft.
Best song ever, this lyrics jesus christ
Once you've heard the lyrics 'Shorter of Breath and One Day Closer to Death', you can never 'Un' hear it. You'll recall those words many more times in your life time, in fact the older you get, the more you'll think of those words. I'm guessing pretty much until the day you die. I'm nearly 60 years old now, and I first heard the song 'Time' (along with the entire DSOTM album), when I was 12 years old. I still think of those lyrics 'Shorter of Breath and One Day Closer to Death', more and more as I get older. With the lyrics 'One Day you find 10 Years have Gone Behind You, No One told you when to Run, You Missed the Starting Gun', you'll recall and reflect on those words as you get older, and imagine what it will be like when you one day find that not only 10 years have gone behind you, but 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, and even 50 years have gone behind you. The only thing that will not have changed about your life, is that it will always hold true that you 'Missed the Starting Gun'. Make the most of the time you have in life, regardless of your age. Great video, I'll be watching more of your videos in the future. 'Time' permitting.
_Then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no-one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun._ I'm 62, and that's the story of my life. I should have listened harder.
I just had lung surgery, and when I woke up, those were the first words that went thru my head. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Time is the most meaningful song of Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd = Cozy and Comfortable

It sunk in. Life is challenging, hard, and very very fast. You have to appreciate every little part of it, even the failures. Bc at least they bring emotion. It’s better then nothing right?

“You run and you run to catch up to the sun but it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind you again.” You can’t catch up. Time will move on no matter how you try to slow it.
That one line....no one told you when to run.... the one brother looks at the other to see how he will react. It’s a reaction within a reaction.
Todo es perfecto en esta Canción!! Perfecto como PINK FLOYD!! 🖤🖤❤️❤️🎸🎸
Tanta perfección hace mezclar los sentimientos en cada acorde, en cada letra, una verdadera lucha entre las lágrimas, el relax, la desesperación, la tristeza y alegría, la exitacion... la propia existencia.
Remember... this was recorded in 1973.... it changed music forever.
Loving your reactions to the greatest band ever, your understanding is superb. My new mantra, now I'm of advanced years, is a line from this song: 'The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say'. So deep, so full of meaning to us older, lifelong listeners.
These guys are the best to put on when you shut out the world and turn it up loud enough to feel it vibrate you.
Excellent reaction. You reminded me of how I felt when I first heard this song back in 1973, but you described your feeling much better than I could. It's wonderful to be able to share such emotion and enjoyment over the years. Thank you.👍😃👍
"The sun is the same in a relative way...but you're older" As you get older...trust me on this, the keener you feel, and the more aware of time you become.
I first listened to this song when I was 17. I'm 40 now. Time has flown by and the meaning of this song changes with each decade that goes by. A timeless song called Time about time going by and how you perceive it in different stages of your life. What a masterpiece this is. But really, the big 4 Pink Floyd albums, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall are IMO the most profound and best non classical music ever written and recorded. Nobody comes close to this.
Nice reaction as always.
I can imagine seeing you when you were still children,
(Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
)
Great reaction ,your passion and understanding is enjoyable ,nice to share such a pure experience, good luck in all you do
You guys are amazing! It really brings tears in my eyes by seeing you react to this amazing peace of art and also the vid Sultans of Swing.... I can watch this for hours... Thanks guys, and all the best! Hope to see more of you watching pink Floyd and Dire Straits Live (or Mark Knopfler with latest version of theme from local hero, life)
You MUST experience them live because their music was so visual as well. The Pulse tour concert is legendary. The song Comfortably Numb has what many consider the greatest EMOTIVE guitar solo in rock history by David Gilmore. Not fast, not technical, but Gilmore could make his guitar sing, weep and wail. He turned his guitar into another voice. PLEASE watch this live......I do believe you will be awestruck.
The PULSE version of Comfortably Numb really is something special!
Nice reflections guys - good to hear what the song meant for you.
I am a recent subscriber but it is EXACTLY reviews like this that brought me here!! Thank you for your obvious appreciation of the music of my generation.
I love watching people experience Floyd for the first time, takes me back to my first time, a moment i shall never forget.
the guy in the rights expresses just exactly like me while listening to Time
I think he has heard the songs, but the guy on the left clearly hasn’t.
another great reaction to a superb tune. well done guys
Amazing reaction fellas. I like how the right brother dont know if he's Patrick or George really digs solos and Praises Gilmour and how his guitar really builds the album. They don't interrupt the song too much and they can indentify the parts where you dont have to cut plus the length of the video is perfect.
This song is 1 of 3 songs I have put on a flash drive and given to my daughter to play upon my death. It's my life....and I want her to understand how short life can be......enjoy it.....don't waste it.....
"And we are watching lyrics as well, guys," as the one brother has his eyes closed and getting ready to be FULLY immersed.
I enjoyed your reaction especially your commentary as it was spot on with the intention of the lyrics. I also appreciate when you rewind after commentary so that you do not lose the momentum and transitions.
Yes, well said, so important so as not to lose the thread - wow! makes you appreciate the working brain doesn't it (?) that we can just reestablish the link - and yet we almost always worry that we won't, worry that that moment in time is irretrievable 😖 it's like "you missed the starting gun" is a recurring theme. Just like TIME ..
Aah well! At least I'm home right now. But this too shall pass - but Pink Floyd helps me dare to dream of bigger things than heaven 🤪🤗💕
The rest of the Universe for one thing. Hope you all can make it 🙏
I'll see you when you get there 🥰❤💕
This is one of my fav Pink Floyd tunes. The lyrics are so meaningful, especially as u get older. Roger Waters, who wrote the lyrics, was exploring some deep themes for a guy around 30. Love the solo and feel of the song. PF are absolute legends! That transition after the solo always sounds like “opening up dark shades and letting sunlight shine in.” Beautiful. That line about “u run to catch up w the sun but it’s sinking, running around to come up behind u again” is pure magic!
I first heard this song when I was 14. Now that I’m 43 it takes on a whole new meaning to me
You can tell they've heard this before because the guy on the right is mouthing the words and they're predicting what the song is about before the lyrics are sung.
Yeah, its like when you're young, you think you have all the time in the world. But the older you get , the faster time seems to go by. Just another amazing song off one of the greatest albums ever created.
I love that Floyd brings in the organ only at the very end....great ending with that. Great reaction! New subscriber!
You guys are great! This song is just an absolute Masterpiece I was so happy to hear you like it so much
You hit the nail on the head @6:21.
GREAT cnannel.I discovered you two a 2 hours ago and i keep watching eversince.Led zepp reaction was GREAT.Keep up the good work.Greetings from SERBIA
George you are right. It's about how time flies. You blink and time has gone by. Great song. Deep.
You two are a breath of fresh air.
You listen then stop the music (sometimes at the wrong time) but hey we have all done it.
Your reactions are priceless and you are knowledgeable about some aspects of Floyd.
My late brother Colin introduced me to LED Zep like this,stuck on a pair of headphones on me aged 12 then a week later Floyd.
He was born in 51 so lived a great hazy life through the 60,s.
Keep up the great reactions guys .
Hi George & Patrick
Pink Floyd are my forever fav Band
Really like to see your clips , keep it up
I will send you a list of various songs to include in your reactions clips
Tc & stay safe
Manwel
You are killing it. I can relate to what you are saying. I am 44 and this song still gives me chills when I hear it. I first heard it when I was 16, my third time smoking weed. Mind blowing.
in every reaction of this song i always pay close attention to the line "and then one day you find ten years have got behind you...." to see that moment of clarity in the listeners eyes. in this one, one person knew it was coming and watched along with me as it came to the other. nice one.
Greatest solo of all time.
This was a lovely reaction. Warms the soul.
You guys really need to do any live versions of Pink Floyd. Their stage performance, the back-up singers, and David Gilmour's fingers on his guitar are all something to behold!!
This song always reminds me if how my stepfather taped this song off the radio over one of my music tapes.(Yes I'm that old)Like right in the middle of one of my 80's songs. Still cracks me up to this day.
guys i love your reaction... yeah!
Great reaction, this is my favorite band 👍
I first heard this in 1973. It's still my favorite song, studio solo, and album! It's just as good today!
I'm sure lots of people have said but this album should really be listened to at least once all the way through without stopping as it makes a whole and has reprises in it but this is a wonderful song and I'm so glad you loved it, this album is very special to many people ❤
when he sings home, home again is the transition to the reprise of the song Breathe from earlier on the album
Guys, I first listened to this when I was 17 and I am now 62.... the song is so true. It feels like I first heard it yesterday.
You guys really get the Floyd,great how your explaining to your mate 👍👍
Amazing amazing reaction, paying real respect to understanding the lyrics 👍🏼👍🏼
Saw them back in 77 @ Boston Garden there insane live wish everyone could see them live once in there life ...
I play this song every day on my birthday, just to remind myself... Glad to see you really absorb the whole thing.
A really genuine reaction that perfectly explained the meaning of Roger Waters lyrics. If it made you reflect on life, that's nothing compared to how you'll feel hearing this masterpiece when you reach my age of 69. It hits you in the guts wondering where the hell have those years gone. A very poignant song indeed.
Those clocks and chimes in the beginning are like midnight Christmas Eve for Ebenezer Scrooge. The ghost of Christmas past is his first visitor, then Christmas present and then the specter of things to come. Don’t let so much time slip away without ever saying what you want to say or doing what you want to do.
David Gilmour's solo stuff is great too... "No way out of here" "Raise my rent" "No Way"
You guys have GREAT reactions to.the song.
I learned to play guitar just so I could play that solo and comfortably numb solo. I have a cassette tape recording with me playing both. Sat the guitar down and ten+ years has got behind me since I've even picked one up.
You guys should do a whole dark side listen.
the back ground singers were sent from above.. And as you get older the song will become more relevant. Right after you realize 10 years have got behind you.but you guys have pretty much nailed Pink Floyd well done
One of my most favorites Band of all times!
And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun, what are you guys doing just sitting there, lol , love your reactions, I'm just sitting here watching you guys, but I'm 63 now, stil my my favorite song of all time
Hello guys, I am a 63 year old Pink Floyd fan and I became a fan from their inception. Here's the strangest part, in all the years listening and learning it on guitar I had never noticed the heartbeat!! It took you two gentlemen to point it out to me and now the song is even better. Thank you for teaching me something beautiful today.
seriously?! 🤣 i guess you never turned it up, or you have always had crap speakers
Love your passion and enthusiasm. I’m sure you’ve listened to the whole of ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ from beginning to end, as it should be.
Only about 44 minutes or so. I have what seems a million times or more. I bought it when it was released in 1973 and will never tire of hearing it.
A Musical Masterpiece. 🎶❤️🎶
Great review boys… dead on
For me, the song starts with a heart beat, like a foetus waiting to be born. When the lyrics start, that is the start of life. The middle is a reflection on your life as you grow older and then song winds down, like you do when you get older and culminates in the final moments at a funeral, tolling of he iron bell etc, which draws the song and life to a conclusion. It really is a beautiful song and quite an experience. Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Which is quite often thanks to these reaction channels 😂
I am here in my 20s, listening to this song, chilling in my thakurghar, loving life.....
Ok. New subscription, here. Keep going! Loving the content.
Great video. I just stumbled onto you UA-cam channel. Great reaction to a great song here. I agree with your comments about this song. This song has my favorite guitar solo of all time. David Gilmour doesn't play fast, but he doesn't have to. He is extremely good at eliciting emotion from the notes, and that is most important.
Bro's: "When you are young and full of energy..." Man, you guys are still young!! But really great to see some younger people listen to, appreciate, and then discuss Pink Floyd songs. 👍
Nick Mason's drums in the later half of the intro are simply sublime...
Finally a reaction channel that seems genuine and enjoys Pink Floyd like I do. great stuff
Outstanding reaction/review of this tune. You guys actually get it............ And David Gilmour is a viruoso, as well as Ritchie Blackmore..........
The ending of the song makes much more sense when you realize that the entire album is one long song. Taking one track out of context cuts off some of the meaning.
The music to Time is great but the lyrics are masterful yet mournful.
Watching you guys is like looking at myself 40years ago when this first came out. We played the vinyl until it would barely play. We even had it on 8 track , so that we could ride through the Allegheny National Forest listening to this masterpiece. Roger Waters is a brilliant lyricist.
The part that always amazes me is the age of the band members when they wrote this. To be that young, and have that good a grasp on time and our lifespans, and how they end up feeling so fleeting as we get older. So many of us wish we had understood this song back when we first heard it.
Really enjoying these reactions. I think you obviously 'get' Pink Floyd. they'll be with you forever. so that's something to look forward to eh!
damn right, listen to it with your eyes closed... not staring off into space.
This was Alan Parsons first engineering job!
Check out Alan Parsons Project! Often with Seventies star John Miles on vocals!
Pink Floyd Comfortably numb live, pulse, is THE best Guitar solo ever!!
Actually, Alan Parsons gave his contribution even to Atom Heart Mother.
That's a VCS3 synth keyboard bass drone, with the guitar string tones in the beginning.
