Yes it is, I loved watching her changes of emotion haha.. I listened to this at 16 roughly when it came out, big pink Floyd listener ever since.. Awsom that hopefully another younger generation will here them..IT'S A Masterpeice THE WHOLE ALBUM
That's right. They were a blues band to begin with. They got their name from paying tribute to two great American bluesmen: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Long live the Pink.
So in the 60's when US was moving into Folk music, a bunch a skinny white boys in the UK were drooling listening to Core US Blues, from there came Rolling Stones, Cream, Yardbirds ( later Led Zeppelin), Faces, Animals so much that a black US Guitar Hero Jimi Hendrix had to go to the UK to get the appreciation before going back to the US.
Just music evolving , in the 70s I was watching Sabbath Zepplin Yes Queen Purple ----- but I loved soul seen Temptations Four Tops Randy Crawford Drifters Sister Sledge live to name a few . Good Music is great --- don't pidgeon hole it
A few years ago I thought companies like Spotify would be the death of music, then my 18 year old son appears out of his bedroom after listening to playlists and wants to know ; who are Pink Floyd, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, etc etc. He’s having a wonderful journey of music!
Start them early. My beautiful 12 month old granddaughter loves to be rocked to sleep listening to 70's music. When it's nap time, we all yell "where's her music?"
I wish my 12yo would do the same, but she’s sticking to KPop, which makes me very sad. Especially as my brother and I (he lives with us as I’m disabled and he’s my carer) are big on all genres of music, and I’m especially all about the classics. But she just refuses. It’s very disappointing.
Who could have imagined back in 1973 that young people 50 years later would still be blown away by Pink Floyd? Arguable one of the most beautiful songs ever written!
This song is very important to me. I almost missed the starting gun. I was 36 at the time and the idea of a family seemed an impossibility, then one day I met my partner and we have a beautiful family. 11 years on and still going strong. There is hope for everyone. The message is there. Go and make your dreams happen, don't look back.
@@51Dss how you experience music is subjective and even can change over time. I just know when I saw Pink Floyd live it was amazing and I like a lot of the albums/songs too.
@@autohmae I completely agree with you. For anyone who has listened to Pink Floyd recorded or who has been fortunate enough to experience Pink Floyd live there can be no denying the spiritual stirring it creates in the soul. I believe music at its finest, music as an art form is like a facet on a complex and finely cut diamond. A diamond with an infinite number of facets. Each facet represents a particular style, or genre or idea that is expressed in music. I would never make a value judgement comparing Steely Dan with Pink Floyd. I am saying that although quite different from each other they both cause that stirring in the soul. Just when a person thinks they've discovered "the one" something else comes along and shows them the light bent in a slightly different trajectory but still just as beautiful and awe inspiring.
One must remember that "Darkside of the Moon" stayed on the Billboard top 100 chart for more than 25 years. A achievement that no other artist of any genre has ever achieved !!
@@olabergvall3154 It was closer to 17 and a half years and around 11,000,000 copies sold (sold another 4,000,000 in the USA alone since then) Presumably there's only Michael Jackson's Thriller that ever officially outsold it in the USA.
@@prodigygetgud7921 Checking the official stats the Eagles "Greatest Hits" with 38 million sales is the biggest selling album in the USA. The biggest selling proper album is indeed Thriller with 33 million. The Beatles highest entry is "1" with 12.8 million (29th biggest ever seller and 15 spots behind DSotM), their highest selling proper albums are "The Beatles" (32nd) and "Abbey Road" (33rd) with 12 million each.
The problem is, there's nothing to understand about someone whose favorite music is Ariana Grande or Cardi B. There's a lot of music out there with great depth across musical genres, but most people don't listen to it.
I'd be willing if people quit calling "RAP"...Music. I'm 62 and when "RAP" first came about in the mid 80s, I was open minded and gave it a shot. AT FIRST, I "THOUGHT" it was kinda cool. But it got REDUNDANT, BORING, and it was ALWAYS..TALK!! And I also noted that MUSIC was being taken from bands and artists that ACTUALLY PLAY "MUSIC" and stuck in the middle of their "RAP", which tells me that they haven't the abilty to come up with their own ORIGINALITY!! Then they started to put all the CUSSING in there and I just said....KEEP IT, I DON'T WANT IT!!!!! Keep it away from me!!
Rap is basically tough words against the balandest background you can imagine. Today there`s also reggaeton and everyone using autotune. Three forms of shit that definitely are redundant.
I love when that happens with a song....a great song smacks you in the face straight away.....a truely phenomenal song you notice something else you love everytime you listen to it....
I used to listen to it all the time when I was a teenager... heard it again when I was 39 and it was so different to me it could have been a different song, but, no, I was a different person. I just sat in my car and bawled.
Roger Waters, the absolute master of lyrics! I remember making a similar thing happen with a punk g/f back in the '80s using 'Animals'. If you may recall, punks did not like Pink Floyd, they saw them as the establishment old guard, overcomplicated and out of touch. So I sat Emmy down, put a copy of Animals lyrics in her hand & put the tape on to play. Her reaction was similar to PinkMetalHeads as she realised this 'boring old guard' band was every bit as savage & violent as her punk heroes, the only real difference was subtlety in the presentation by adding a contrast of sublime music.
Gosh, Pink, if you think this song is sad now, wait until you are my age and you realize that you "missed the starting gun". Grasp this wisdom now so you don't have any regrets later.
Its not over yet. Dwelling to much in the past will take more from the moments you have left. Just remember that alot of others dont make it long enough to reflect on the passing of there lives. We are blessed beyond belief.
“Shorter of breath , and one day closer to death” line always gets me. It hits hard when the reality of one day you won’t be so young anymore .... every day is one day closer to death for us , It always gives me chills that line
I cried when I saw it too. And you're not THAT old. I'm 56 this month. Oh, by the way, I also got misty seeing two dudes listen to "More Than a Feeling." There really is something about this experience for people our age...thru people their age. I am so grateful for it. It's a beautiful thing. I think I'll go look for someone listening to CSNY "Woodstock" for the first time. "We are starburst. We are golden. We are billion year old carbon. And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." -- Joni Mitchell
This music will hit people of all ages I'm sure of it. I first listen to Pink Floyd as a kid in the 80s, going through my dad's collection was a joy, dark side was my favourite. I'm 41 now and still get chills listening to it. I think the best music came out of the 60s and 70s.
I think the biggest point you're missing with many albums of the 70's, is that that's what they are, 'albums', and are far better when experienced fully, from beginning to end. "Dark Side of the Moon" especially- It's almost one long song...
Ah.....someone else who has discovered the magic of The Dark Side Of The Moon album. If you haven't already heard the next track on the album, The Great Gig In The Sky, for the love of god, please listen to it. It's one of the most beautiful things you'll ever hear. :)
@@ArmchairRizzard I've had this album on vinyl for years, but only just re-discovered it. This is probably the most beautiful and significant record of their career.
And to think the entire album is only about 42 minutes long (if I remember correctly). Nothing better than sitting in your most comfortable reclining chair, with the lights dimmed, eyes closed, headphones on and listening to the whole CD (vinyl is great too, but you'll have to flip it over halfway through, possibly spoiling the mood) as if it were one long track. Really just in a class by itself as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks to some slick maneuvering, this album was surreptitiously slipped aboard the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 had Wish You Were Here on board when they were launched in 1977 to explore Jupiter and Saturn, then onward to share the best of mankind with the universe.
Lori Raf isn’t it amazing how we are from different countries and our ages are so different yet still we all enjoy pink floyd!! I guess meanings of their songs change as you get older?
It warms my heart to see younger people discovering how music used to be. That was the appropriate reaction to the greatness of Pink Floyd. Wish you were here next.
@@Mr8sense Oh,da bin ich neidisch. Habe nur The Wall vor 3 Jahren live in Bukarest gesehen.Leider nur mit Roger Waters. Aber es war das beste live Konzert meines Lebens! Pink Floyd for Life!!! Ihre Musik ist so erhaben über allem anderen. Wahre Kunst!
@@soulbrotherno1708 jawoll, Du sagst es ;-) The Wall von Roger habe ich 1990 in Berlin gesehen (feat. viele Gastmusiker, u.a. Sinead O Conner, Bryan Adams, Van Morrison, Scorpions) und dann 2011 in München sowie 2013 in Frankfurt, Wien und Berlin :-) Hast Du auch David auf seiner Tour 2015/16 gesehen? ich war bei David u.a. in Brighton, Oberhausen, Breslau, Wien und Pompeji. Er ist der beste Gitarrist der Welt finde ich!
We oldie rockers recognise the magic of Floyd so easliy but to see a young person get emotional about it is heartening. Pink Floyd the most underated and ahead of time band there ever was.
Takes me back to the first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon. A darkened room, laying on the floor, Vinyl playing, Koss Headphones on ( Loud ) and a smouldering joint on the side! The year was 1973! You don't just listen to Floyd, you throw yourself in head first and allow it to devour you inside out! ...Timeless album.
lazy ,, that's weird . About the same thing happened to me,, it was xmas 71,, sister gave me the album , after returning home when I was 11, everyone went to bed ,, we have a Panasonic radio turn table, after everyone went to bed , I put on the head phones and played the record, not knowing anything about Pink Floyd. I lay down like you did , and listened, I was so deep into it, I lost time and space,, when the bells and clocks went off, I about hit the ceiling it shocked me so much,, Vary cool memory.
@@MicDread Couldnt have been 1971 Xmas as Dark Side came out in 73. I feel the same about Dark side as I do about Tubular Bells and Yes's Close to the Edge!
lazycalm41 said: - "I feel the same about Dark side as I do about Tubular Bells and Yes's Close to the Edge!'Same here. I could name a few other fantastic albums from the period but ...you know...We know what they are.
Total respect to you Lady for your praise of a band I have simply adored for many many years, I first heard that song as a 16 year old back in my home country of England in 1973 and of course, back then I wasn't concerned with the concept of time, but now of course , at 62 I am just more than a little biit aware of how precious our time on Earth really is. Many thanks ,
One reason that Dave Gilmour...without publicity, gave away a large house in Holland Park to a homelessness charity for them to sell and use the money how they saw fit. Not many musicians give away property valued in the millions and say nothing about it to the media. I`m not so sure about the 40 years bit though, but many of their albums still sell well, Animals and Wish you were here spring to mind.
@@sheikhyaboooty Dark Side entered the US billboard a month after release........and never really left? it's in the Guinness records for being there ever since? its a great album, constantly being "discovered" by new generations of listeners.
David Gilmour is not a master guitar player...he transcends master Guitar levels; Beginner Intermediate Advanced Expert Master Legend Guitar God David Gilmour In that order...
Would it be bettef on shrooms bro I wanna experience something different more then cocaine alcohol and meth I wanna be at peace with myself I wanna do something different Idk if you done shrooms but yea
Congratulation young Padawan, you have taken your first steps into a larger universe. Pink Floyd is not a rock group, it's a universal trip unlike any other in music.
@Anthony Fremont of negativism And thier into thier 70's hope you can sound and think as good when you reach that time of your life. Today's music has NO meaning, No soul, it's all hook if you took the computer out of today's recording's and studio musician's you will have nothing to listen to. That is a fact jack! I for one love to see the record companies make contract decision's about music not money, That goes for radio too. Greta Van Fleet is prime example of good of it can be done.
@Anthony Fremont of negativism So you like someone putting lyrics in front of sound? Too me it's nothing special. As for computer driven music every one has used in Rock as filler not like today's music. To me music should be played by instrument not as cheep and easy to push of a button. Hell I can do that. And as Greta Van Fleet they are a cheap knock off of Zeppelin but they do play instruments. The real problem is schools don't have good music programs AND haven't for decades. Since I was in school.
Anthony Fremont of negativism I enjoy everything from Pink Floyd, from the earliest days with Syd Barrett that most fans know nothing about to the last days with everything in between. I got all their music. It's one of only three bands that I own all of it. The other two are Rush and Iron Maiden.
There were still vestigual elements of Psychedelia in This Album. Holdovers from the Syd Barett era. Glam Influence not unlike their contemporaries of the time - Mainly Bowie and Roxy Music can be heard as well But more Blues - driven overall than the true Glam bands.
This Album is meant to be listened to in entirety.... Not one song at a time... ITS A JOURNEY.... AN EXPERIENCE.. Read the lyrics as the album plays... Or meditate on only the sounds and layers of harmony...
Nah, put a decent studio headphone on (about $100 for a Beyer Dynamic DT770 or 880 - I have no financial gain, but love the DT990) so you hear every detail that was recorded, and: take your time. Really! When you think about listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album, think about an hour... no less. And yeah: be prepared for a new sensation.
@@anotherkat4u The first album of Pink Floyd I bougt, was "Animals". The talented Richard Wright plays an awesome Fender Rhodes Piano there (Sheep) and the second album was "Wish you were here". It's kind a dark but brilliantly appealing by it's soundscapes and lyrics. Well, I could not point an album of Pink Floyd that I dislike, though! How wonderful is the part in Dark Side of the Moon called "The Great Gig in the Sky", with Clare Torry's voice... who was mostly improvising this! (ua-cam.com/video/cVBCE3gaNxc/v-deo.html) ? I have to point you to this video: ua-cam.com/video/_1jL8A20H_k/v-deo.html where the same part is - beautifully! - sung by three women, which in turn shows the talent of miss Torry, who sung the whole part herself! The Wall... it is a class apart. Considering the tension in the group when it was recorded and the professionality of the members, it was apparently hard work too. One thing no-one can take away from the world, is Pink Floyd's music. We're actually very lucky living in this era!
Pink floyd is simply the greatest band one will ever experience. Theres never been, nor will be a band that will move me like they did in all my years on this planet.
@@reshayhansraj1830 Zeppelin is another timeless band. But are they floyd? Nope. Different styles. Zeppelin covered a lot of different genres. Floyd was floyd, and nothing else. If I never heard queen again, it wouldnt break my heart. Just me though.
Agreed. When I saw Roger Waters live (Floyd was not "Floyd" by the time I was old enough to go to a show) the first time(1984) it literally changed my life. I have since taken numerous people to see him and changed their lives as well. The music transcends space and time, and the lyrics are universal and way beyond what you normally get in Rock music. Joe, if you can find it, there is an album called "Seen One Earth" by a guy from the band Camel, named Pete Bardens(he passed away a few years ago so you may have to UA-cam it). It's the closest thing to Floyd there is and well worth the time, if you experience it the right way he'll take you to outer space.
@@ravenbeast8639 & Got to hear these too Rolling Stones, The Who, Cream, Clapton, Janis Joplin, Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, Joe Cocker, Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, Ten Years after -Alvin Lee, Jeff Beck, Beech Boys, Doors, Nugent, Almond Brothers, Mountain, Skynard, Johnny & Edgar Winter, Trower, Frampton, Humble Pie and too many to think of and list :)
@@the_infinity_time One of the most unnecessary comments ever made on the internet. Congratulations! Who cares if she's reading the lyrics, she appreciates and understands them.
@@thomasferrarojr.9772 oh to be clear, there was 2 other comments here that the idiots who wrote it delete them after i told them that remark about she was reading the lyrics. They were saying why she was looking to her phone the whole video, instead of enjoying the music, thats why i commented that about the lyrics, and the dumbfucls who made the comment delete everything, so its looks like a just say that randomly but i didnt. So it wasnt a unnecesary comment, white knite, it was under a context.
Every time i talk to friends what the best album is one of us says it is DSotM, the usual reaction is "well everyone says that" and about 2 hours later the group chat explodes when everyone is saying "well i listened to it again and yes it is perfect". I think that sums up Pink Floyd, everyone loves them but they deserve to be the phenomenon they are, similar to the Beatles album Revolver or Blood on the Tracks by Dylan
Shortly after our youngest son and his wife gave us our first grandchild, we were all in the waiting room and I was telling my son how proud of him we were, he looked at me and said "I get what Roger Waters meant". I looked at him and gave him kind of like a shrug and a head shake. Than he said "You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you." and it just touched something inside of me and the water works started, and now every time I hear this , I cry. I had always understood the song, but it was already such an emotional moment and then to hear my son had been touched really made me feel like I succeeded as a parent.
Every time I listen to Pink Floyd I have to fight back tears because they were my fathers favorite band and we grew up listening to them with him. He passed in 2017 and I’m still holding out hope that David Gilmour will go on tour so I can spread his ashes at a Pink Floyd concert.
Cart Mass man that would be amazing if they did! I saw Waters on his last tour a few years ago but I know Gilmour is still not even giving the impression of touring. Keeping my fingers crossed!
@@kevinpitts22able There will never be another Pink Floyd reunion, as Richard Wright (keyboards) died in the late 2000's, as well as David stating very publicly he's done with Pink Floyd. Sorry for your loss btw.
Dutch Master thanks. And yeah I agree there won’t be a reunion but I’m just hoping Gilmour might do a farewell tour or something but I know the chances are slim.
I really enjoyed watching you experience a song I've heard 100's of times over the past 40 years. AND you fully respected Pink Floyd by wearing headphones! Awesome, you just made my day, thank you.
I agree Craig. I saw them live in the 70s at MSG. I have listened literally thousands of times. It was very refreshing watching and listening to this young ladies reactions and heartfelt emotions.
I so admire your for your depth of knowledge,your outpourring,.Keep it going,young lady.Im 60---I grew up with great music.I love that you're open to all genres
I really have a lot of respect for you for not continuously stopping the song every couple mins to talk about it. Doing that just loses its value and impact.
Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands. Amazing music talent, song writing, voices. They made you FEEL their music. This song in particular takes us all over the place with moods. Crying is a perfect compliment to they song.
Me I'm 55 years old and is it is for Pink Floyd I grew up with that and I love all the music and this beautiful beautiful young lady that actually sat and listened to it can appreciate it I say thumbs up
That initial rage in the solo, which describes desperation for sudden conciousness and "getting late" sensation, before slowing down with chorus which reflects some kind of acceptance of time passing by... A masterpiece.
Pink Floyd didn't just make music! They created albums with songs that related to the others on the album! I love seeing the younger generation "getting it"! I don't mean any disrespect but for the majority of the millennials, Pink Floyd would go completely over their heads! Pink Floyd has the ability to make one think! Thank you for this reaction! And btw you're cute as button! You remind me of my daughter! Have a blessed night!
Sure. Same for Umma Gumma, Piper, Saucer, and Obscured...even More was coherent if looking for singles (See Emily Play, Arnold Layne, Set the Controls) I LIKE atom Heart Mother , but WTF was it?
Yeah I'm definitely speaking on the post Syd version of Floyd! I don't know what the Syd version was about! I never could consume enough drugs to figure it out! Lol! Trust and believe I tried y'all! Lol
I was on stage photographing PF in 1970 when they OPENED for Hot Tuna and Leon Russell in San Diego. They were on their Atom Heart Mother tour. Here. Here is a link to the photos- www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/photos/index.php/search?album=1&q=jeff+allen Once on the site, click on the first of the 5 links.
Not really. The only band which makes no sense lyrically is probably the mars volta, who are, along with tool, the great band of the last 15 years. Pink Floyd's music is pretty easy to get.
I literally get emotional every damn time I listen to Time. Pink Floyd are on another level. Can't compare to any other bands. They're just inside a whole another dimension.
I love how your head banging stopped as he said "ten years have got behind you". That part was monumental to me the first time I heard this. That seems to be most people's reaction to that part. Great reaction, more pink floyd!
Your genuine reaction to the depth in this song is what gives me hope for the future of humanity. You just listened to one of the top ten most talented bands in my lifetime. Thank you and keep jamming girl 😊
Music back then took you on a journey ... It made you think ... So much heart and soul put into the music they produced ... Now We've lost so much of that feeling with today's music ... Sad to say we are no longer progressing ...
Pink Floyd isn't a single song band. They are all about full albums. Way ahead of it's time, over 45 years old. Also really good under the influence of some legal substances in some states
Yeah vinyl is the only true way to appreciate a group or artist's work. I grew up listening to my mom's record collection and still love to pull them out when I'm up at her house.
The kid with deaf parents turned me on to Pink Floyd around,'71. Saw them live in '72 at SMU. I was fifteen and my Mom sat in the car while I went into an audatorim about half full $8.50 for the ticket!
Actually, you should have listen to Time and the next track Great Gig In the Sky together. That is the way it is intended since they melt into each other. Both musically and as a theme. Time is about life, basically. And the next song is about death in a way. Where it ends and starts at the same time.
The entire album is linear like that. The only break is when you actually had to flip the record back then. It was meant to be an experience, the first concept album.
Yeah, the whole album melts togheter more and less but it`s not the first concept album. The first concept album is Freak Out by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, released in 1966.
Your so young Pink, You should'nt have those feelings already Luv.... I'm 51 and this song rings true for me, I hope you have a wonderfull life and this track does'nt appear in your mind when your older like some of us. Listen to the whole album, I'm sure you will love it x
Pink Floyd is my favorite band, Dark Side Of The Moon is my favorite album, Time is my favorite song and David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist! No one can reach in and grab you by your soul like DG! I have listened to this since 1973 and it NEVER gets old! Future PF - Dogs and Echoes are a must!
I would love to hear someone react to Dogs. No one touches that song, and I can understand why as it is really long. Yet I think its one of their most underrated, along with the album it is from, Animals and I think some of Gilmour's best work prior to The Wall. Nice one on suggesting that.
@John Allen: Re your "No one can reach in and grab you by the soul as Dave Gilmour" " ... grab you by the soul... " Soul? Is that what you call them ... soul?? I thought you called them n.. Oh! Oh, I get it! This here is a family channel! OK, so he grabs you by the soul. That's fair enough. Got it. 'Nuff said. HC-JAIPUR
"Pink Floyd is my favorite band, Dark Side Of The Moon is my favorite album, Time is my favorite song and David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist! No one can reach in and grab you by your soul like DG!" Mate, 100% with you on this!!!
You would have been doubly emotional if you continued listening to 'Great Gig In The Sky' immediately after this song. Nice reaction. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Very true. Pink Floyd did “concept albums” which were meant to be listened to in their entirety and in order. Keep this in mind especially when listening to Animals, Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here & The Wall. Enjoy!!
I remember hearing this album for the first time when I was fifteen. Twenty six years later I still get goose bumps listening to it. One of the best albums of all time
I only started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 21. Nothing will compare to hearing these songs for the first time. Honestly, an amazing experience every single time.
jessie beran It’s a reaction video, and if she wanted to interrupt at any point that would’ve been ok - it’s her video. If all you want to do is listen to the song then listen to the original.
I'm literally brought to tears watching this young girl discover this music. I'm 56 years old and have cherished every note of this and other Floyd albums ever since they were made over 40 years ago. Call me an old fart - seems like people always say this about the music of their generation - but the pop music of today can't even begin to compare to this masterful stuff. It makes me sad that such greatness doesn't exist anywhere in what's written today, but at the same time warms my heart to see someone around my kid's age listen so intently and discover this great art. Many people have said it but I feel the need to say it too: these albums are not collections of individual songs. They are complete works meant to be LISTENED to (not just "heard") from beginning to end. Find yourself an hour when you know you will not be interrupted or distracted, turn down the lights, put on good headphones, close your eyes and listen to these albums from beginning to end: DSM, Wish You Were Here, and Animals. Also "Echos", the one very long track comprising the 2nd half of Meddle. I've never been a huge fan of The Wall with the exception of a few songs - most notably Comfortably Numb.
I just found your channel , I'm glad you have a beautiful spirit and you feel the vibrations of the music in your soul. This is my favorite pink floyd song and it makes me cry almost every time.
From the Age of Album Oriented Rock came masterpiece concept albums. This one is the best. Pink Floyd, for their years together, has no equal. That lil lady just went to the edge and looked OUT and got blown away. Love it!
When Pink Floyd finished the tracks and listened to the end product, David said my god, we've really done something special here. Probably one of the best albums recorded since recorded music.
Not hostile to what you wrote but hostile towards the idea that this is some kind of unique genius. So you hold your mother and you bless the air With the tears of the emigrant, tongue of the Gael And the plane takes off in a clear blue sky Life's a long lost list of last goodbyes Lyrics by Runrig .
John McCann???who and???why??? Gilmore is a genius,if not than an extremely talented hard worker with a gifted work ethic who so happened to be relatable to just about every human being on the planet
Brian Lester Gilmour isn’t a genius .He couldn’t write lyrics ,or sing them for that matter.Hendrix was a genius.He is not relatable to me .......or Johnny Rotten who described this as drivel.This album sold in thousands who bought it to see what the misplaced hype was all about and then found out the truth.`There was too much good music being made at this time for this to stand out .In fact it sounded dated to me when it was first released. I was a student at that time and a lot of my friends bought the record because it made them appear intellectual.In reality they were merely joining a very large flock of sheep.
FLASHAHOLICS it’s funny bc time was not exactly super brilliant to Floyd when they originally wrote it. It’s a song that roger waters wrote out of frustration bc Pink Floyd wasn’t really going anywhere and he was already 29 years old. Yeah they had their fan following but they hadn’t had any real big success until dark side.
@@jmcc2275 yeah well ... Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z - they've all had their attention span destroyed. Anything over 2 minutes 30 in a song they can't handle. I was playing some songs to some millennials recently and they couldn't take it if the song had an intro longer than 8 seconds. I kid you not. If it took 10 seconds before the intro turned into vocals, they were calling it boring. So yeah - I guess Gone With The Wind will need to be updated to include 15 Marvel superheroes ...
Fuz Capp I was around in the sixties and the songs then weren’t all that long either. Coming to think of it some tracks on this album aren’t very long.There are only 4 songs over 3.45 mins here ,so,it should suit them down to the ground.
Yeah, I'd say Time in particular can't be fully appreciated without listening to the entire first side. Speak To Me - Breathe - On The Run - Time - Great Gig In The Sky is all one piece!
💯 when I was growing up my dad had the dark side of the moon on a live concert vid that he would play at an "11"... I used to get annoyef bc it was so damn loud but as an adult you can bet your ass I have the same vid and I listen to it at an 11 and it likely drives my kids nuts lol. When they were babies they were mezmorized by the show that they put on and would just stop everything and zone out. This album tells a story from start to end so it must be played as such.
I am 62. Just lost my father. I have been tripping on the concept of time in just this way. It is strange to watch each day tick by and soon enough, feel it.
watching someone listen to Pink Floyd the 1st time is like watching a person enter a new realm of consciousness
Priceless comment brother
Yes it is, I loved watching her changes of emotion haha.. I listened to this at 16 roughly when it came out, big pink Floyd listener ever since.. Awsom that hopefully another younger generation will here them..IT'S A Masterpeice THE WHOLE ALBUM
Agreed…it’s like watching someone confirm all of those emotions I had when I first heard this album.it’s very cathartic.
Such a magnificent comment 🍁
Wow. 100%.
Ironic to see black American youth discover music of white Englishmen who were themselves influenced by black American rhythm and blues. full circle
I don't think it's ironic I think it's rather beautiful.
Perfect example of irony. Beautifully ironic, we're all connected.
That's right. They were a blues band to begin with. They got their name from paying tribute to two great American bluesmen: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Long live the Pink.
So in the 60's when US was moving into Folk music, a bunch a skinny white boys in the UK were drooling listening to Core US Blues, from there came Rolling Stones, Cream, Yardbirds ( later Led Zeppelin), Faces, Animals so much that a black US Guitar Hero Jimi Hendrix had to go to the UK to get the appreciation before going back to the US.
Just music evolving , in the 70s I was watching Sabbath Zepplin Yes Queen Purple ----- but I loved soul seen Temptations Four Tops Randy Crawford Drifters Sister Sledge live to name a few . Good Music is great --- don't pidgeon hole it
A few years ago I thought companies like Spotify would be the death of music, then my 18 year old son appears out of his bedroom after listening to playlists and wants to know ; who are Pink Floyd, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, etc etc. He’s having a wonderful journey of music!
Start them early. My beautiful 12 month old granddaughter loves to be rocked to sleep listening to 70's music. When it's nap time, we all yell "where's her music?"
I wish my 12yo would do the same, but she’s sticking to KPop, which makes me very sad. Especially as my brother and I (he lives with us as I’m disabled and he’s my carer) are big on all genres of music, and I’m especially all about the classics.
But she just refuses. It’s very disappointing.

I brought my kids up with it. And they’re as big Floyd fans as I am!
@@katherinemorelle7115 of well, you cant please them all 👍
Who could have imagined back in 1973 that young people 50 years later would still be blown away by Pink Floyd? Arguable one of the most beautiful songs ever written!
Artistic genius will impress forever.
“10 years have gone by, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.” 😭❤️
Didn't we all
Always listen to new music food for the soul
Actually it's " 10 years have got behind you " lyrics written by an englishman !
This song is very important to me. I almost missed the starting gun. I was 36 at the time and the idea of a family seemed an impossibility, then one day I met my partner and we have a beautiful family. 11 years on and still going strong. There is hope for everyone. The message is there. Go and make your dreams happen, don't look back.

The Floyd isn't something you listen to. It's something you experience. Something you feel. No band has moved me as much.
It transcendent the music, as they say. Best live band I've ever seen and best light show for it's time.
Exactly
I get what you're saying - but then there was Steely Dan and their masterpiece Album Aja.
@@51Dss how you experience music is subjective and even can change over time.
I just know when I saw Pink Floyd live it was amazing and I like a lot of the albums/songs too.
@@autohmae I completely agree with you. For anyone who has listened to Pink Floyd recorded or who has been fortunate enough to experience Pink Floyd live there can be no denying the spiritual stirring it creates in the soul. I believe music at its finest, music as an art form is like a facet on a complex and finely cut diamond. A diamond with an infinite number of facets. Each facet represents a particular style, or genre or idea that is expressed in music. I would never make a value judgement comparing Steely Dan with Pink Floyd. I am saying that although quite different from each other they both cause that stirring in the soul. Just when a person thinks they've discovered "the one" something else comes along and shows them the light bent in a slightly different trajectory but still just as beautiful and awe inspiring.
One must remember that "Darkside of the Moon" stayed on the Billboard top 100 chart for more than 25 years. A achievement that no other artist of any genre has ever achieved !!

Maybe if we all listened to each other's favorite music, we could understand each other a little better
The problem is, there's nothing to understand about someone whose favorite music is Ariana Grande or Cardi B. There's a lot of music out there with great depth across musical genres, but most people don't listen to it.
I doubt that.
I'd be willing if people quit calling "RAP"...Music.
I'm 62 and when "RAP" first came about in the mid 80s, I was open minded and gave it a shot. AT FIRST, I "THOUGHT" it was kinda cool. But it got REDUNDANT, BORING, and it was ALWAYS..TALK!! And I also noted that MUSIC was being taken from bands and artists that ACTUALLY PLAY "MUSIC" and stuck in the middle of their "RAP", which tells me that they haven't the abilty to come up with their own ORIGINALITY!!
Then they started to put all the CUSSING in there and I just said....KEEP IT, I DON'T WANT IT!!!!!
Keep it away from me!!
@MrBuzzard123
Screw that. Most people's favorite music is absolute crap. That's a fact.
Rap is basically tough words against the balandest background you can imagine. Today there`s also reggaeton and everyone using autotune. Three forms of shit that definitely are redundant.
I freaking love this chick. She feels these songs so deeply and earnestly. What a beautiful soul
I remember when I first listened to "Time" - that gradual shift from 'this is really good' to 'holy crap' is a powerful one.
My holy crap moment never came until I found out about their syd era music
The holy crap starts to really settle in when you cross that 60 year-old mark.
I love when that happens with a song....a great song smacks you in the face straight away.....a truely phenomenal song you notice something else you love everytime you listen to it....
I used to listen to it all the time when I was a teenager... heard it again when I was 39 and it was so different to me it could have been a different song, but, no, I was a different person. I just sat in my car and bawled.

That look on your face when the gravity of the lyrics hit you. . .priceless.
Roger Waters, the absolute master of lyrics!
I remember making a similar thing happen with a punk g/f back in the '80s using 'Animals'. If you may recall, punks did not like Pink Floyd, they saw them as the establishment old guard, overcomplicated and out of touch. So I sat Emmy down, put a copy of Animals lyrics in her hand & put the tape on to play. Her reaction was similar to PinkMetalHeads as she realised this 'boring old guard' band was every bit as savage & violent as her punk heroes, the only real difference was subtlety in the presentation by adding a contrast of sublime music.
Shane Patterson it hits at the most iconic lines of the song

you're not old are you?
This music will hit people of all ages I'm sure of it. I first listen to Pink Floyd as a kid in the 80s, going through my dad's collection was a joy, dark side was my favourite. I'm 41 now and still get chills listening to it. I think the best music came out of the 60s and 70s.
..
I think the biggest point you're missing with many albums of the 70's, is that that's what they are, 'albums', and are far better when experienced fully, from beginning to end. "Dark Side of the Moon" especially- It's almost one long song...
100% agree
a story worth the telling
Not Almost. It IS one big song.
Good point.
TDSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall are not individual songs.
Pink Floyd haunts you, possesses you. Absolutely.
Ah.....someone else who has discovered the magic of The Dark Side Of The Moon album. If you haven't already heard the next track on the album, The Great Gig In The Sky, for the love of god, please listen to it. It's one of the most beautiful things you'll ever hear. :)
I second this. Great Gig in the Sky is a vocal solo as impressive as any guitar solo I've ever heard.
@@ArmchairRizzard I've had this album on vinyl for years, but only just re-discovered it. This is probably the most beautiful and significant record of their career.
Great Gig in the Sky may be the best track on the album.

Every track is a Sonic orgasm and heart felt

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best albums ever recorded. It is still as relevant today as it was then.
Phil Cromwell More so I'd say.
@One Day Soon I've personally accounted for an 8-track... a cassette, 2 albums and 2 cd's over the years ....
The best album EVER, best song Ever
And to think the entire album is only about 42 minutes long (if I remember correctly). Nothing better than sitting in your most comfortable reclining chair, with the lights dimmed, eyes closed, headphones on and listening to the whole CD (vinyl is great too, but you'll have to flip it over halfway through, possibly spoiling the mood) as if it were one long track. Really just in a class by itself as far as I'm concerned.
In 1973 I bought this album and listened for hours. One of the best. “ ever “
Gilmour is one of the most brilliant guitar players; every note and bend has purpose without flamboyant nonsense.

One reason that Dave Gilmour...without publicity, gave away a large house in Holland Park to a homelessness charity for them to sell and use the money how they saw fit. Not many musicians give away property valued in the millions and say nothing about it to the media.

@Anthony Fremont of negativism And thier into thier 70's hope you can sound and think as good when you reach that time of your life. Today's music has NO meaning, No soul, it's all hook if you took the computer out of today's recording's and studio musician's you will have nothing to listen to. That is a fact jack! I for one love to see the record companies make contract decision's about music not money, That goes for radio too. Greta Van Fleet is prime example of good of it can be done.
@Anthony Fremont of negativism So you like someone putting lyrics in front of sound? Too me it's nothing special. As for computer driven music every one has used in Rock as filler not like today's music. To me music should be played by instrument not as cheep and easy to push of a button. Hell I can do that. And as Greta Van Fleet they are a cheap knock off of Zeppelin but they do play instruments. The real problem is schools don't have good music programs AND haven't for decades. Since I was in school.
Anthony Fremont of negativism I enjoy everything from Pink Floyd, from the earliest days with Syd Barrett that most fans know nothing about to the last days with everything in between. I got all their music. It's one of only three bands that I own all of it. The other two are Rush and Iron Maiden.
There were still vestigual elements of Psychedelia in This Album. Holdovers from the Syd Barett era. Glam Influence not unlike their contemporaries of the time - Mainly Bowie and Roxy Music can be heard as well But more Blues - driven overall than the true Glam bands.
This entire album is a masterpiece, and never again will we have its like.
WORD THAT! I remember hearing it when it came out, on a 4-channel stereo. Tore the skin off my skull.
This Album is meant to be listened to in entirety....
Not one song at a time...

Or meditate on only the sounds and layers of harmony...
Nah, put a decent studio headphone on (about $100 for a Beyer Dynamic DT770 or 880 - I have no financial gain, but love the DT990) so you hear every detail that was recorded, and: take your time.

Agreed. When I saw Roger Waters live (Floyd was not "Floyd" by the time I was old enough to go to a show) the first time(1984) it literally changed my life. I have since taken numerous people to see him and changed their lives as well. The music transcends space and time, and the lyrics are universal and way beyond what you normally get in Rock music.
Joe, if you can find it, there is an album called "Seen One Earth" by a guy from the band Camel, named Pete Bardens(he passed away a few years ago so you may have to UA-cam it). It's the closest thing to Floyd there is and well worth the time, if you experience it the right way he'll take you to outer space.
for all of us who grew up in this period... we had by far, the best variety of music..and this album defines it..

I looked at him and gave him kind of like a shrug and a head shake. Than he said "You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you." and it just touched something inside of me and the water works started, and now every time I hear this , I cry. I had always understood the song, but it was already such an emotional moment and then to hear my son had been touched really made me feel like I succeeded as a parent.
M crying while reading this! It’s crazy how powerful impact Pink Floyd have in our lives. M 21 today! 😭

@@kevinpitts22able There will never be another Pink Floyd reunion, as Richard Wright (keyboards) died in the late 2000's, as well as David stating very publicly he's done with Pink Floyd. Sorry for your loss btw.
Dutch Master thanks. And yeah I agree there won’t be a reunion but I’m just hoping Gilmour might do a farewell tour or something but I know the chances are slim.
David has been on tour for years now.....An ex boyfriend is his drummer.
I really enjoyed watching you experience a song I've heard 100's of times over the past 40 years. AND you fully respected Pink Floyd by wearing headphones! Awesome, you just made my day, thank you.
Craig Hollabaugh although she was on her phone the whole time. 🤔
Andrew Tarrant reading the lyrics
I agree Craig. I saw them live in the 70s at MSG. I have listened literally thousands of times. It was very refreshing watching and listening to this young ladies reactions and heartfelt emotions.
I so admire your for your depth of knowledge,your outpourring,.Keep it going,young lady.Im 60---I grew up with great music.I love that you're open to all genres
Andrew Tarrant She was watching the video on the phone.
Listen to dark side from start to finish, it's a story and the best way to enjoy it.
Some say its a story about life, from birth to death.
lenny harry yes please. react to that.
Its an experience like no other. I'm only 35 now and I'll say it for the rest of my life I was born in the wrong decade
@@faceofextinction7156 I kind of agree. Im 42 I love the music from the 70's but wish I was born earlier in that decade.
@@faceofextinction7156 1970 here and i can tell you it was awesome.
This whole album is gold, every song has meaning and depth in every lyric sung
watching someone first time listening to pink floyd
that does put a smile on my face.
I'm reliving my 1st experience of pf thru her again
«✌️First✌️ time» 🙄😏 anyway 😊
Hi thanos
I really have a lot of respect for you for not continuously stopping the song every couple mins to talk about it. Doing that just loses its value and impact.
true
I was just thinking That, and I thank her for not doing that
Did you watch the video? She enjoyed the whole song? What up dude?
Yea, why would she react to something in a reaction video.
People do that to avoid copyright strikes.
Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands. Amazing music talent, song writing, voices. They made you FEEL their music. This song in particular takes us all over the place with moods. Crying is a perfect compliment to they song.
Lori Girl yes FEEL the music. When that happens you are on a different level
Me I'm 55 years old and is it is for Pink Floyd I grew up with that and I love all the music and this beautiful beautiful young lady that actually sat and listened to it can appreciate it I say thumbs up
You're one of us now, resistance is futile, welcome, enjoy, peace and love.
I'm envious that you have heard this for the first time. A amazing experience.
This song has the second-best guitar solo of all time, in my opinion. The first, of course, being the outro to Comfortably Numb.
Shirlee Hicks every Gilmour solo is the best of all time.
I prefer Sorrow but anything DG does is gold.
That initial rage in the solo, which describes desperation for sudden conciousness and "getting late" sensation, before slowing down with chorus which reflects some kind of acceptance of time passing by...
A masterpiece.
You are 💯 correct
Freebird!
Pink Floyd didn't just make music! They created albums with songs that related to the others on the album! I love seeing the younger generation "getting it"! I don't mean any disrespect but for the majority of the millennials, Pink Floyd would go completely over their heads! Pink Floyd has the ability to make one think! Thank you for this reaction! And btw you're cute as button! You remind me of my daughter! Have a blessed night!
I presume you mean the post-Syd Barrett era because I would love for someone to tell me what the heck was going on with "Atom Heart Mother" :)
Sure. Same for Umma Gumma, Piper, Saucer, and Obscured...even More was coherent if looking for singles (See Emily Play, Arnold Layne, Set the Controls) I LIKE atom Heart Mother , but WTF was it?
Yeah I'm definitely speaking on the post Syd version of Floyd! I don't know what the Syd version was about! I never could consume enough drugs to figure it out! Lol! Trust and believe I tried y'all! Lol
I was on stage photographing PF in 1970 when they OPENED for Hot Tuna and Leon Russell in San Diego. They were on their Atom Heart Mother tour. Here. Here is a link to the photos-

Not really. The only band which makes no sense lyrically is probably the mars volta, who are, along with tool, the great band of the last 15 years.
Pink Floyd's music is pretty easy to get.
One of the greatest masterpieces in modern pop/rock music.
Absolutely nothing in the past few decades compares.
I literally get emotional every damn time I listen to Time. Pink Floyd are on another level. Can't compare to any other bands. They're just inside a whole another dimension.
Pink Floyd is so legendary! I’m glad that you got into it! Welcome to the Pink Floyd club!!
@Brazilian Atlantis I remember that song!!!! :)
I love how your head banging stopped as he said "ten years have got behind you". That part was monumental to me the first time I heard this. That seems to be most people's reaction to that part. Great reaction, more pink floyd!
The whole reason I subscribed to your channel, is your honest reaction.
"Hangin' on in quiet desperation is the English way"... nailed it! Love from New Zealand 70's chick
She: *enjoys*
Richard: "And then one day you find, ten years has got behind"
She: ._.
Your genuine reaction to the depth in this song is what gives me hope for the future of humanity. You just listened to one of the top ten most talented bands in my lifetime. Thank you and keep jamming girl 😊
Music back then took you on a journey ... It made you think ... So much heart and soul put into the music they produced ... Now We've lost so much of that feeling with today's music ... Sad to say we are no longer progressing ...
Pink Floyd isn't a single song band. They are all about full albums. Way ahead of it's time, over 45 years old. Also really good under the influence of some legal substances in some states
. . . and illegal substances in all states. . . so I've heard
How does the saying go? Weed or Acid doesn't make Pink Floyd sound better, Pink Floyd makes weed or acid better.
@@grantdumas4076 great music makes you want to get stoned
No they weren’t ahead of their time as the rise of punk made clear.
@@jmcc2275 I don't understand your comment. Can you further elaborate?
Well, time to listen to this on vinyl for the millionth time
Ah Vinyl No truer sound than a pristine LP !
Yeah vinyl is the only true way to appreciate a group or artist's work. I grew up listening to my mom's record collection and still love to pull them out when I'm up at her house.
I lost them all in a quake. Mom and Dad had everything from Sons of the Pioneers to the Doors. House + 33s & 45s gone.
I'm super jealous
yes :D
The kid with deaf parents turned me on to Pink Floyd around,'71. Saw them live in '72 at SMU.
I was fifteen and my Mom sat in the car while I went into an audatorim about half full
$8.50 for the ticket!
As a die-hard jazz fan, Gilmour's solo always brings tears to my eyes...
Oh yeah man it really is a thing of beauty. Stunning
yes yes, me too
Actually, you should have listen to Time and the next track Great Gig In the Sky together. That is the way it is intended since they melt into each other. Both musically and as a theme. Time is about life, basically. And the next song is about death in a way. Where it ends and starts at the same time.
Great comment
The entire album is linear like that. The only break is when you actually had to flip the record back then. It was meant to be an experience, the first concept album.
mr mystic the whole album melts together
Is the same case with Brain Damage - Eclipse
Yeah, the whole album melts togheter more and less but it`s not the first concept album. The first concept album is Freak Out by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, released in 1966.
"Great Gig in the Sky" is a must. Please listen to it.
Clare Torry, Great Gig in the Sky, live 1987. Unearthly vocals. Not even Adele can achieve that level.
These two songs have to be listened to together
Yeap
yesssssss. I play it all the time on my piano. fucking awesome
Your so young Pink, You should'nt have those feelings already Luv.... I'm 51 and this song rings true for me, I hope you have a wonderfull life and this track does'nt appear in your mind when your older like some of us. Listen to the whole album, I'm sure you will love it x
And you're still your too buddy. 51 isn't old. Keep on trucking. Lots of life.
Hard to believe these words were written by a young 20-something. Wisdom beyond his years!
Lucky you, only 51
@@darksoul3514 dude
51 is still young.
Ah brings back memories , I am 67 now, put the headphones on full and turn out the lights, now listen to it.
The next song is awesome also. The Great Gig in the Sky
Definitely I was going to say the same thing she'll be balling if she listens to Great Gig in the sky
Yeah do that one
yes
@@shanemccormick6072 see on UA-cam at Mary Poppins sings Pink Floyd
Mike Forti you took the words right out of my mouth...
I've seen many concerts over the years but Pink Floyd is truly mind blowing. Totally different level. Sensory overload.
Brad B The Animals tour was incredible! Wish You Were Here start to finish, then Animals start to finish, then some Dark Side encore.
Pink Floyd is my favorite band, Dark Side Of The Moon is my favorite album, Time is my favorite song and David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist! No one can reach in and grab you by your soul like DG! I have listened to this since 1973 and it NEVER gets old! Future PF - Dogs and Echoes are a must!
Echoes?? Absolute must...
I would love to hear someone react to Dogs. No one touches that song, and I can understand why as it is really long. Yet I think its one of their most underrated, along with the album it is from, Animals and I think some of Gilmour's best work prior to The Wall. Nice one on suggesting that.
@John Allen: Re your "No one can reach in and grab you by the soul as Dave Gilmour"
" ... grab you by the soul... "
Soul? Is that what you call them ... soul??
I thought you called them n.. Oh! Oh, I get it! This here is a family channel!
OK, so he grabs you by the soul. That's fair enough. Got it. 'Nuff said.
HC-JAIPUR
Brett Scott Echos live at Pompeii is a masterpiece.
"Pink Floyd is my favorite band, Dark Side Of The Moon is my favorite album, Time is my favorite song and David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist! No one can reach in and grab you by your soul like DG!" Mate, 100% with you on this!!!
This song blew me away as a kid. And with each passing year, it becomes more and more relevant, and poignant.
You would have been doubly emotional if you continued listening to 'Great Gig In The Sky' immediately after this song. Nice reaction. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Robert Fitzgerald
Look at all the recommendations in the comments already for that one. It’ll happen.
This album should be listened to from beginning to end. Headphones required!!
Some incense is traditional too.
GFSTaylor you mean acid? Lol
Acid required
Harrison Lupton i can recommend it.
No no no. Full on mega speakers to get the vibes throughout the body
You should listen the entire album...there is no other way. lovely reaction..
Daniel Serrano agreed!!!!!!
Very true. Pink Floyd did “concept albums” which were meant to be listened to in their entirety and in order. Keep this in mind especially when listening to Animals, Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here & The Wall. Enjoy!!
I remember hearing this album for the first time when I was fifteen. Twenty six years later I still get goose bumps listening to it. One of the best albums of all time
I only started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 21. Nothing will compare to hearing these songs for the first time. Honestly, an amazing experience every single time.
I like that you don’t interrupt the song so we can enjoy it to
You just can't interrupt a masterpiece
jessie beran
It’s a reaction video, and if she wanted to interrupt at any point that would’ve been ok - it’s her video. If all you want to do is listen to the song then listen to the original.
shut up, Nick.
千 ㄩ 匚 Ҝ 乇 ᗪ.
Wow you sure showed me.
@@nick260682 ye
You need to hear The Great Gig in the Sky, and Dogs. Pink Floyd have really really long songs, but they're so good you don't even realize it.
Pretty sure she's going to realize the four minutes of horseshit in the middle of Dogs
Marooned also
@@lightofday.dayofdarkness real shit man, i wish there was an edited version without that crap
There is no horseshit in the middle of Dogs. ALL 17 minutes and 8 seconds is pure epicness!!!
@@bryannewcombe858i love the song but no, its 4 min of nothing you are delusional
I'm literally brought to tears watching this young girl discover this music. I'm 56 years old and have cherished every note of this and other Floyd albums ever since they were made over 40 years ago. Call me an old fart - seems like people always say this about the music of their generation - but the pop music of today can't even begin to compare to this masterful stuff. It makes me sad that such greatness doesn't exist anywhere in what's written today, but at the same time warms my heart to see someone around my kid's age listen so intently and discover this great art. Many people have said it but I feel the need to say it too: these albums are not collections of individual songs. They are complete works meant to be LISTENED to (not just "heard") from beginning to end. Find yourself an hour when you know you will not be interrupted or distracted, turn down the lights, put on good headphones, close your eyes and listen to these albums from beginning to end: DSM, Wish You Were Here, and Animals. Also "Echos", the one very long track comprising the 2nd half of Meddle. I've never been a huge fan of The Wall with the exception of a few songs - most notably Comfortably Numb.
I just found your channel , I'm glad you have a beautiful spirit and you feel the vibrations of the music in your soul. This is my favorite pink floyd song and it makes me cry almost every time.
Goosebumps on that intro. What an amazing song. Was brought up on pink floyd... from my parents. Still gets me every time
You remind me of myself at your age. I still cry listening to Pink Floyd. You should listen to Great Gig in The Sky. It plays right after that song.
You can't help to be moved. We feel what the band felt when performing it. They sang with honesty.
Great Gig in the Sky still makes me tear up and I've heard it all my life.
From the Age of Album Oriented Rock came masterpiece concept albums. This one is the best. Pink Floyd, for their years together, has no equal. That lil lady just went to the edge and looked OUT and got blown away. Love it!
Yea Millie, I’ve listened to this song for 40+ years and have never cried. I’ve watched Pink react to probably 5 times and cried every time she does.
Wonderful to watch you discover this incredible music. Do check out Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety, you won't regret it!
When Pink Floyd finished the tracks and listened to the end product, David said my god, we've really done something special here. Probably one of the best albums recorded since recorded music.
“ Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown, waiting for someone or something to show you the way”.....
Humbled
Nick Crimi tons of songs have similar lyrics .They also have vocalists who can sing them unlike this lot.
John McCann not sure if you’re hostile or not. It’s just a simple lyric that has great meaning..... don’t over analyze it.
Not hostile to what you wrote but hostile towards the idea that this is some kind of unique genius.
So you hold your mother and you bless the air
With the tears of the emigrant, tongue of the Gael
And the plane takes off in a clear blue sky
Life's a long lost list of last goodbyes
Lyrics by Runrig .
John McCann???who and???why??? Gilmore is a genius,if not than an extremely talented hard worker with a gifted work ethic who so happened to be relatable to just about every human being on the planet
Brian Lester Gilmour isn’t a genius .He couldn’t write lyrics ,or sing them for that matter.Hendrix was a genius.He is not relatable to me .......or Johnny Rotten who described this as drivel.This album sold in thousands who bought it to see what the misplaced hype was all about and then found out the truth.`There was too much good music being made at this time for this to stand out .In fact it sounded dated to me when it was first released. I was a student at that time and a lot of my friends bought the record because it made them appear intellectual.In reality they were merely joining a very large flock of sheep.
'Time' is one of maybe five songs that make you cry with its sheer brilliance.
FLASHAHOLICS it’s funny bc time was not exactly super brilliant to Floyd when they originally wrote it. It’s a song that roger waters wrote out of frustration bc Pink Floyd wasn’t really going anywhere and he was already 29 years old. Yeah they had their fan following but they hadn’t had any real big success until dark side.
yeah - and Great Gig in the Sky is the other 4.
They can’t sing ffs.This was modern back in the day now it just sounds like musical doodlings,with obligatory hour long guitar solos. Total guff.
@@jmcc2275 yeah well ... Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z - they've all had their attention span destroyed. Anything over 2 minutes 30 in a song they can't handle. I was playing some songs to some millennials recently and they couldn't take it if the song had an intro longer than 8 seconds. I kid you not. If it took 10 seconds before the intro turned into vocals, they were calling it boring.
So yeah - I guess Gone With The Wind will need to be updated to include 15 Marvel superheroes ...
Fuz Capp I was around in the sixties and the songs then weren’t all that long either. Coming to think of it some tracks on this album aren’t very long.There are only 4 songs over 3.45 mins here ,so,it should suit them down to the ground.
Dark side of the moon should really be taken in as a whole. It’s an experience in all honesty.
@@lawrencemora2862 or looking at the stares.
Same with Supertramps "Crime of the Century" Glad I am alive to play the albums whenever I want.
Yeah, I'd say Time in particular can't be fully appreciated without listening to the entire first side. Speak To Me - Breathe - On The Run - Time - Great Gig In The Sky is all one piece!
💯 when I was growing up my dad had the dark side of the moon on a live concert vid that he would play at an "11"... I used to get annoyef bc it was so damn loud but as an adult you can bet your ass I have the same vid and I listen to it at an 11 and it likely drives my kids nuts lol. When they were babies they were mezmorized by the show that they put on and would just stop everything and zone out. This album tells a story from start to end so it must be played as such.
That's the only thing "wrong" with this album. It's meant to be played in its entirety. It is a masterpiece.
I am 62. Just lost my father. I have been tripping on the concept of time in just this way. It is strange to watch each day tick by and soon enough, feel it.
