There was a time in my life when Pink Floyd was the only band I needed.
Pink Floyd led me to Tool now I’m hard down that rabbit hole
moi aussi !
You mean that time ends?
Still they are.
@@bowhuntr6825 Same happened to me for about a decade, and now I'm back to Floyd again, though I still LOVE Tool.
The line, "No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." is the one to be wary of in this song. The older you get, the harder it can hit.
Also, as you get older, this song transforms from a warning, to a call to action, to a lament. Amazing and timeless song!
💯
Brings the faithful to their knees is the line that always gets me
Too right 😢
Yep, sure does 💯
Yes I wish I understood that when I first heard that in my midteens
I have been listening to this song for 40 years, and I still choke up. It only becomes more true and relatable.
50 years later, still one of my favorites.
Oh God, it's been 50 years?!?!?
Mine too.😊
One of the truly great things about this song, is how it feeds into the Great Gig in the Sky. It really makes the two songs more potent.
I keep imploring people to listen to them together, but no one listens 🤷🏼♂️
BTW, this young lady didn't truly get the song, even though she clearly understood the lyrics .... But she will. When you do, you cry.
That's why i always say Pink Floyd's music you need to listen to the whole album from start to finish(There are reviewers that do that on YT)
@@d.l.607I tried several times, weeks ago, to tell her to ignore the people who suggest single songs from this album, and do the album as its meant to be. Then Great Gig came out, and disappointed me. Here we are now, listening to Dark Side out of order. So glad my words mean nothing.
Thank you for sharing Pink Floyd and your thoughts. It's always fun to hear your take on the music. Keep up the good work Cheers from a finn in Sweden ❤
@@mgordon1100 your wife ignores you too.
The worst thing with time is that it accelerates so much the older we get.
Nice reaction ✌️🩷🌈
Life is like a roll of toilet paper - the closer you get to the end, the faster it disappears. Even when the days still seem long, the months and years get shorter.
Makin the Jump to light speed !!!
It's not just music: it's art. Technical perfection, soul, emotions.
To think this was recorded 50 years ago is slightly mind-numbing. I was 23 at that time. 🫣😲🤗👍
Pink Floyd gets into your DNA. They are a genre all to themselves.
Well said.
No they are not.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek I think there is no other band similar to Pink Floyd. Their sound is unique.
@@dickmeijer5363 that doesn't mean they are their own genre. That makes no sense. There are many bands that have unique sounds.
but its not their sound alone, its the total package. A Mix of Music, Arrangements, Invention and Poetry. This combination ist indeed uniqe!@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek
People have probably told you this in prior comments but the album “The Dark Side Of The Moon” is intended to be listened to in it’s entirety in order. The songs lead into one another and take you on a journey.
While watching Wizard of Oz? Not at first. With headphones on lights off.
And just to provoke those memories even more from vinyl
As does The Wall
1/2 hour in the hot tub with a couple glasses of wine followed by melting into my massage chair, lights out, and headphones on, volume maxed. Ahhhhhhhhh! @@don-o-seven1437
I made almost the exact same comment to a recation video of Time a few years ago and it got over 4,000 likes and doezens of comments.... mabey mentioning that I was 69 years old at the time helped
There are no great rock and roll bands anymore and there hasn't been any since the 80's. Pink Floyd is the best of the best and I'm glad to have grown up in the 70's.
Nick Mason’s off beat drum fills in the intro are brilliant.
I'm 73 and the years went by so fast. Love Pink Floyd. Another group you might enjoy is the Moody Blues. Their albums In Search Of The Lost Chord, Every Good Boy Deserves Favor, To Our Childrens, Childrens, Children and "Days Of Future Past"done with the London Phillarmonic Orchestra is just amazing. God Bless have a great day!!
Dennis Floyd and The Moody Blues! My favorite Floyd song is Echoes. From The Moodies New Horizons.
I have just read my own thoughts 👍👍
I LOVE THE MODY BLUES SO MUCH. MY DAD SHOWED ME THEM WHEN I WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE LOVED THEM EVER SINCE
Don't forget about Nick Mason, the drummer. He was also phenomenal on 'Great gig in the sky'. He's wonderful to watch on the song "echoes" live in Pompeii and You get to see a young David Gilmour shirtless.
One of the greatest drummers of all time
“I could just picture everything he was singing in my head.”
That is an excellent description of Pink Floyd, and it applies to the music as well, imo.
So glad you listened to the studio version. I looked, and it appears you are a victim of the comment section recommending live versions, especially of Led Zeppelin. Big mistake. Led Zeppelin's studio versions are masterpieces. Live, they were very improvisational, and would often change the songs night to night, often adding long jam sessions in the middle. If you're not into that, you should always listen to the studio versions first, especially for Led Zeppelin. I am going to recommend you react to the studio versions of "Stairway to Heaven" and "Since I've Been Loving You". I see you've done reactions to the live version of both of those, but me personally, I never watch reactions to live versions of those two particular tracks unless I know the reactor has heard the studio recordings first. Why? Because the studio recordings are just that much better. Both of those two studio recordings represent two of the greatest achievements in audio recording history. I hope you revisit those two songs, and this time, listen to the studio recordings, and again, I highly recommend that in the future, try to listen to the studio recordings of Led Zeppelin tracks before checking out any live versions.
I subscribed!
Peace
I COULDNT SAID IT BETTER MYSELF

David Gilmore once said that he wished that he was just an ordinary person that would have gone to the record shop in 73 and bought Dark side of the moon, took the record home and listened to it for the first time. ironicly, thats what i done in 73. an amazing experience.
«ironicly, thats what i done in 73.» Ironically, that's what millions of persons did...
they stil do but its not the same
@@garryiglesias4074
As I watch and listen to these reaction videos from youngsters who didn’t grow up with this music I’m always a little bit jealous of them getting to hear it for the first time. Then I get over it because I got to see them live. 😎
I was 16 when the album came out, and for my generation listening to the album has the added benefit of reminding us of our youth and all the great memories of friends and growing up. And every year the lyrics of this song ring truer. I’ve listened to all the giants of rock music throughout my adult life, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, the Stones, The Who, etc., and this is still the greatest album I’ve ever heard.
After release this album spent a record 917 weeks (17.5 years) in the Billboard top 200. Wikipedia says 988 and For es 950. But the 917 is from Billboard themselves.
Pretty much my conclusion too, though I keep coming back to its ties for 1st with Abbey Road. Great albums. Best of human endeavor in the musical arts for my money.
Todays musicians cannot even begin to come close to the music that people of my age grew up with. This is one of the best albums ever made.
These lyrics hit hard and really make you look back and think about your life. It gets really emotional the older you get. And that solo! One of my favorite PF solos!
It really takes on a new meaning the older you get, the lyrics barely registered when I first listened to it and now they hit harder every year
It’s also a warning not to waste your life.
I have never heard you (explain, relate too, or summarize) a song this long before ! I am almost 70 and grew up listening Floyd from the start. Well done young lady and thanks for a great job!
When I was editing this video I was thinking wow I really had a lot to say about this didn’t I? 🤣
@@StaceyRPGReacts Yes Mam you did, that song always takes each person to place only they can relate to from their own experiences. NOW get on with "Echoes Live in Pompeii". It is a little bit long (maybe 26 mins or so) BUT WELL worth the time ! Thanks Stacey .
@@StaceyRPGReacts 🤔🤔🤔😏😏😏Don’t worry, you are young now and tomorrow too. 😆😆😆.
But we can think about Emperors, Kings, Queens, Pharaohs, right? Presidents, important people no?
What they thought when the time was over for them?
It’s like you said, the clocks are ticking in different paces, but nobody was/ is thinking that the time is over really soon. Now we are here and later we don’t.
The song has different part or sections. The last part of the song is related to elderly people and those bells at the end are for the person that died.
Keep it up
Pink Floyd made an eternal song
@@StaceyRPGReacts Hello Stacey, did you send me the invitation to speak on telegram or is a scam? Thank you!
@@1luarluar1 it’s a scam!
I first heard this in my early teens. And then one day I find, 50 years have got behind me... and a new generation is discovering Pink Floyd's brilliance.
This song definitely has more significance to me now than it did in the 70s. I didn't miss the starting gun, but it took me a while to get out of the blocks. Great reaction, young lady, to one of the greatest bands ever.
The lyrics of Time are the most profound, thought-provoking, eloquent out there. Listen closely to the meaning….it is a message that is relevant to all of us. Thanks 🙏🏻 to all Pink Floyd members. They all co-wrote this. ❤
That last note left me craving "The Great Gig In The Sky"! Great reactions!!!
It's almost a sin to not listen to Floyd via their entire albums. The songs go together so perfectly.
David Gilmour sings the verses in Time while keyboardist Rick Wright sings the choruses.
Love Rick Wright
I think the choruses are Wright and Gilmour together. They're amazingly seamless.
It is both and Wright was always a backing vocals man. Apart from songs like Paintbox.
@@allaboutthebclicksinnit1148 He was typically a backing vocalist, but he did sing more lead early on the first album, singing lead on a couple of Syd's songs.
@@jessebynum9355 Yes
1:44 That ticking sound is actually played on a bass.
So many people miss that! The muted bass strings as the metronome keeping time played against the kick drum keeping the heartbeat. It's fantastic!
That’s so cool!! Had no idea!
@@ianfortier6796 And there are still people bitching on Waters... The WHOLE band together was magic. They were geniuses together.
It's worth watching The Making of DSOTM to see what went on behind the scenes.
@@garryiglesias4074 seen Waters in concert and was in awe.All I could think was her is the man who wrote most of Pink Floyds lyrics.Talk about being in awe!
Great job Stacey!! You really saw the meaning in the song. I first heard it in the 70s and now at 65 I still have the same reaction you do.
Roger Water's bass work in this one is just out of this world, sarcastic, fun, serious, just brilliant
Stacy
In 1973, 50+ years ago, Dark Side of the Moon was released, I was just 9 years old. As time went on, I am getting older. Now, this year, I will be 60 years old; this song has comforting reality to me. I know everyone here are short timers on Earth. Pink Floyd relates to live life the fullest.
I'm 62 and feel exactly the same way. Whenever I listen to this song it further strengthens my resolve not to waste any more time as I am fully aware that it is an ever-diminishing for me.
@@Biking360 I'm just recently 61 and was not aware of Pink Floyd when this was released. It took me until starting high school in early 1976 before they were brought to my attention. "Pulse" still stays on repeat in my car for weeks or months on end. (And the box set needs yet another battery change) HI to Stacey, was nice to catch you on twitch recently.
Dear Stacey,
My voyage with Pink Floyd began with Echoes in 1971 and never stopped.
If you are going to listen to Echoes be prepared, it's a 23.31min. very nice trip.
Pink Floyd takes good care of you,be sure of that.
DSOM is certified 14 times platinum in the UK and topped the US Billboard chart for 988 consecutive weeks… that’s 19 years!!!! The entire album is a masterpiece and needs to be listened to from start to end w/o stopping as each song flows seamlessly into the next.
Who cares about certs ? TDSOTM is simply the best album in Space Time, you can't argue.
It CHARTED on the billboard 200 for 988 weeks, which is the longest for any album, but it didn't top it all that time. From what I can find it only topped it for a week.
Still an incredible feat though, and being the fourth best selling album through all time
Their music is so deep; no other Band makes me feel the way they do. I listen to them every day. You give some of the best reactions, and it's apparent that you're not just going through the motions; you actually really listen, feel, and appreciate the music. 💕
Alan Parsons is a genius. He produced a lot of the Beatles work and other great groups. I first heard this in my twenties and it made me reevaluate my life and where I was going with it. The clock sounds and the heartbeat, which speeds up as the song flows, is so HUMAN!!
Lots of great hits by the Alan Parsons Project too.
He did not produce any Beatles albums. He was a sound tech on Abbey Road and Let It Be. George Martin produced all of the Beatles recordings at Abbey Road Studios. There is a major difference. He did not produce DSOTM only sound tech. Seems to me Bob Ezrin and James Guthrie produced the big Floyd albums.
Excellent reaction and analysis. I always thought that the alarms and clocks at the beginning were like a wake-up call, as in “Wake up and pay close attention to the lyrics to follow!”
Thank you for the support ❤️ the alarms and clocks definitely grab your attention as intended! So cool
Pink Floyd was another artist ahead of his time. I had this album on 8 track playing in my 72 Pinto runabout. And this music was like nothing I had ever heard before. I love how 50 years later. Young people love it.
You’ll soon be ready for Animals,their best work imo,all about society’s pecking order.
Amazing album.
Sorrow (pulse version) amazing solo!
When I was a kid, this was a great song but now that I’m 51 years old, it’s something they can bring me to tears if I’m in the right mood.
It's never too late to discover or rediscover Pink Floyd. Their music is so rich. since their album came out every time I listen to it it opens my mind and takes me back to a simpler world. The musical richness takes me into starry ethers.
Everything you said about this song, we all said over 50 Years Ago! That's how fast your Life goes By....
Yep, it won't, can't be meaningful of the experience until they get there. Then it hits you as a real thing, not just logical and imagined! 60* 'now' days seemed to fit into one when I was seven.
* maybe it's more, maybe less, it doesn't matter.
@@PolferiferusII Now that I'm retired, days go by like frames in a movie. I worked as a freelance Union Stagehand for 25+ years, 300 event days a year most of the time, with entire shows being built, performed and loaded out in single days. Now I feel productive if I make it to the Store and cook Dinner!
Bright Angel Stacey, I love how you let the music touch you from the inside. Love the diversity of music you play and your heartfelt views on how the music makes you feel. Thank you for
all the hard work by bringing a kind light into this sometimes dark world.
I have always found that the best way to listen to the whole album is to do it in complete darkness, Epic.
W/ acid.
True , some songs perform extremely well in the studio. Seeing the live is fun. Especially if you’ve seen the band live.
Stacy I love the introspection of your thoughts on how the music makes you feel and compels you to think about life. The more you listen to Pink Floyd music, the better it gets, and you will develop a deeper appreciation how brilliant their music really is.....
Dark Side of The Moon is about life from birth to death.. Many thought they were on drugs and Gilmour said it was nothing about drugs at all because they did start out like that in the psychedelia era
Richard Wright and David Gilmour harmonised wonderfully together. The entire album was quite a breakthrough at the time, masterfully engineered by Alan Parsons.
If you like Richard's and David's harmonized vocals, you need to listen to "Echoes" live in Pompeii
.....and this was made in 1973.....we grew up with the best music!!! Damn I love this❤❤❤
My first ex-wife was a bit younger than me. She was actually born in 1973 when Dark Side came out. So, I introduced her to Pink Floyd, and the first time she listened to this she freaked a bit because she had a "thing" about loud bells. But as the song progressed, she really got into it. She did eventually love Pink Floyd almost as much as I do. Most of their songs have deep meanings, but this is one that really gets you thinking about getting older and to make the most of the time you have left.
I have evangelized Dark Side of The Moon heavily in my youth... I don't remember how often I bought the CD to offer as a gift to people... And most of them are "hooked"... Not as much as myself but certainly for good...
It's a cult, in the real meaning... I'm a cultist with this album and the "golden arc"... And a huge hardcore fan of the Syd era...
"US and Them" next (it's saxy).
Yes Please!
Yes, please soak up every moment! You never know what the future holds, or even if you HAVE a future. My daughter passed away very suddenly shortly after her 35th birthday. A pulmonary aneurysm took her one morning as she was getting ready for work. She did figure out what was happening to her at least. . . her last phone search was about the symptoms she was experiencing. RIP Sara, my beautiful baby girl.💔
I bought this album my last year in college in the fall of 1973. At that time I thought it was revolutionary and definitely a game changer. It’s been 51 years, folks, and that album still does not get old.
The Live version from the "Pulse" concert is epic. Reminds me of when I was young and kinda carefree 18 year old, coming home after a long night out, stumbling onto the bed after firing up the turntable, plugging my headphones in and setting the needle down waiting to pass out. Then this comes on, rude awakening many times.
One of David's most iconic "space rock" solos. And you can never stop relating to this song no matter how many times the sun has come up behind you again.
This song is SO well and succinctly written, without seeming as though it was thought out. Each thought leads seemlessly and organically to the next. It's almost conversational. Kurt Vonnegut's style of writing (not songs, obviously) comes across to the reader as if spontaneous, but as I understand it, he spent weeks and months arranging and rearranging dialog and paragraphs until he conveyed the something deeper that he wanted, but disguised as simple thoughts and actions. Pink Floyd's lyrics remind me of that, but I have know idea if the process was even close. If they were written as effortlessly as their meanings are conveyed, than that's even more amazing, but I know sometimes it takes real work to achieve simpleness and greatness together. Either way, pure genius and great heart in this track.
This were actually two songs. "Time" ends after the line 'Thought I'd something more to say.' immediately followed by the first chord of "Breathe (reprise)". That in turn transitions straight into "The great gig in the sky".
I spent a lot of time listening to Pink Floyd and the Beatles on vinyl as a kid, 8 (1979) and later. This was my relaxation. Listen to the words, that make a lot sense.
Roger was quite the lyricist. Arranged to David, Rick and Nick's gifts they produced genius level music that is not just transcendent and ethereal but spiritual as well. I dare say divinely inspired. Oh and those ladies and their backing vocals !!
What an awesome reaction. Just found your channel. I’ve heard that song thousands of times it feels like, but just watching you process it in real time was so real and energizing. Much love Stacy ❤
I'm really enjoying watching you experience what I experienced years ago. So refreshing to see and hear such intelligent analysis of these incredible and beautiful songs by unique Pink Floyd.
No other bands come close.
All the songs you have reacted to were played in the pulse concert and I was there.
Stunning!
This song is a timeless masterpiece!!!! So relevant to life and getting older.
This is one of the greatest songs ever.🥁☮☘
The whole Dark Side of the Moon album is a wild ass ride. Been listening to it for 25+ years. It never gets old.
David and Richard Wright singing.
Love your reaction to this. ❤
Glad to see you continue your Pink Floyd-journey Stacey! Love it!
Back in the days they had no digital clocks. So they had to use analog clocks witch had to go off all at the same time.
And sorry for my bad English. I'm from Belgium and my native language is Dutch. But I also speak French, Italian and a little German. ;)
Your empathy is a strength that will help you get more out of music 🥰
So, crazy when I was younger I never really listened to Pink Floyd. Got older and really listened to this song. Hit me like a ton of bricks. All time favorite
I love how affected you are by the music and lyrics of Pink Floyd!! You're really on the ball with ti. You definitely need to do the whole album, it tells an amazing story.
Stacey I'm so happy that your recovery is appearing to go well, being in all of our thoughts and prayers I hope did some good, The Floyd was a great group for their time and clearly their music is standing the test of time.
This is actually David Gilmour AND Richard Wright singing
Gilmour singing the verses, Wright on the chorus, David joining him halfway through on the high harmony.
Roger Waters sings the verses.
@@thaddeusbohn9516 Nope.
@thaddeusbohn9516 Time" is a song by English rock band Pink Floyd. It is included as the fourth track on their eighth album The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) and was released as a single in the United States. Bassist Roger Waters wrote the lyrics. Keyboardist Richard Wright shares lead vocals (his last until "Wearing the Inside Out" on The Division Bell) alongside guitarist David Gilmour.
@@thaddeusbohn9516 FALSE!
‘Time’ is just one (great) chapter from the classic experience that is ‘Dark Side of the Moon’. The album reflects the good and bad of humanity and the human condition. If listened to, not individually, but in one sitting and as a journey from beginning to end, you will be, like I was in 1978, changed forever.
Nothing comes close.
I find it amazing that songs by Pink Floyd brings you to tears always brings me to tears my whole life and I’m 65 years old and Pink Floyd never gets old the music lives on and on and on ❤I really enjoyed watching you listen to that songTime for the first time, it warms your heart. You’re amazing lady.
For me the 90s was the "ten years" that got behind me. I was raising my kids, busy with work, trying to make my🎉 marriage work, then suddenly I was in my 40's, life was moving beyond me. That was 20+ years ago and I still feel it!! I've loved PF from the mid 70s onwards. Great reactions!
The Pulse Concert second set was the entire Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish. I would recommend that you listen to the full studio album first and then the entire Pulse performance of Dark Side of the Moon. We would all love to watch your full reaction to both versions. I'm so happy to see you discover the music of Pink Floyd as they are now part of the soundtrack of your life StaceyRPG
Luckily you are still young so don't miss that starting gun .🌄
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. How true. 70yr old Englishman here.
As you get older time appears to speed up, but there is only now. Keep Reacting.
For a lady that is listening to our old school tunes. You have now understanding it. Thank you
Listen to this again.....and then again......and then again.............
Absolutely
That's echoes
So cool watching new reaction of what I listened to as kid in the 80s.
I still miss pink floyd, every time I hear a floyd track it takes me way back to much better times. Still get the goose bumps after all these years, I wish todays younger generation of today could have exsperenced that time...
One song takes you through your entire lifetime. What a masterpiece
And on the album it transitions directly into "The Great Gig in the Sky" which just adds so much context
I couldn't click on this fast enough. Please do the studio version of SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
I-IV AND don't Forget VI-IX
Reason why Pink Floyd made so much impact on us old guys, was that they broke the ground incorporating synthesizers into rock music. UmmaGumma and its preceding albums were a ramping up to Wish You Were Here and Dark Side Of The Moon, both were the pinnacle of Pink Floyd artistic journey.
What Pink Floyd was doing, nobody had done before, and preciously few were able to come on par
I'm new to your channel and I like the way you describe the music you're hearing. Telling us that you are not musically savvy makes me want to watch you even more. Sharing with and helping educate others is one of the greatest joys of music. Anyone that gives you grief over something you may not know is not a music fan, they are a troll. Looking forward to many more reactions.
PF: Another brick in the wall (video), Hey you.
PF should be a music class in school.
Music class in high school at the start of 1976 was literally the first time I heard DSotM. The teacher, Mr Green, brought his personal high end Nakamichi system in. Four years later in 7th form a group of us went to his house each week in a music appreciation double-period. "One Of These Days" at very high volume was one of the favourites there.
@@BruceHoult So lucky. All kids need this.
You close your eyes and you can just feel yourself adrift in the abyss of nothing.. It's amazing and chilling all at the same time..
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. I've heard this lyric for over 45 years, and it hits harder each time I hear it. The cold reality of truth.
Pink floyd's music is still relevent to even today...
It's Richard Wright and David Gilmour on vocals, not just David. Roger Waters was the main songwriter and lyricist until he left the band in the 1980's.
Check out the studio version of "Money."
Nope, it's Gilmour and Wright. Gilmour was always lead vocals and Wright back-up. Roger only does lead in Animals and The Wall.
Definitely NOT Roger Waters, don't spout nonsense without knowing for certain.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek I made a mistake. Was confusing the vocals with "Comfotably Numb." My mistake. No need to trash me. No need to spew venom like that.
I've been waiting for this one. Probably my favorite Pink Floyd song. Really deep stuff, I'm really enjoying watching you go through this journey :)
This is an amazing song. The part that slays me the most is the intro. The sweetness and staggered timing of those chimes touch my musical pleasure circuits at the core.
David Gilmour’s and Richard Wright’s voices were made for one another. Watch 1972’s Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii. The first song of this film and last song of this film is Echoes part I & part II. Echoes came out in 1971 on the album Meddle.
Listen to the Meddle’s version first. Then the Live at Pompeii version. Both part I & II. And then listen to David Gilmour’s live at Gdańsk. This is the last time they performed this song. Before Richard Wrights passing in 2008.
Echoes is my favorite Pink Floyd song. And once Richard Wright passed, we all knew this song would never be performed again. And rightly so.
I was in my twenties when I bought this album, I'm 74 now. Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.✌️
Pink Floyd is a vibe you can’t rush.
Glad that you are checking out all this stuff that is new to you. Concept albums like this are an experience that are definitely different when listened to all together. Many of us are just listening to streaming content, picking from what the feed sends us. Albums were physical treasures to many of us growing up in the '70s and '80s, and they could often mean a lot if you put in the time. No pun intended.
You are absolutely right about not taking each day for granted and living each day to the fullest. This song does make you think about what you are doing with your life. Another touching, heart wrenching song that speaks about the same topic but in a different way is "I can't give up" by Lee Williams and spiritual qc's. The first time I heard this song it tore me up. And I drove in my company truck in tears thinking - who told these guys what I am going thru. How did they know? I really needed to hear that song. The only answer I had about who sent the song to me was God . Give a reaction to it, your life will not be the same. Sorry I'm not a pay per view listener but I really do love your reactions
The video or concert videos for this song are one of the Floyd's very best! I've seen them do it 5 times (it's included in every single show), believe me! You'll love it.
Your first listen. Mine was upon it's release in the 70's. Brings me joy that you are literally carrying the torch.
"No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" boy how many of us can relate to that.
it fades seamlessly into the great gig in the sky, it doesn't fade out. Such a shame in these modern times that one stops right there, they all do it, ruins it. really frustrating.
