When I was young, I never listened to "rock" bands because I thought drugs were necessary to appreciate them. Now, age seems to have dulled my thoughts enough to appreciate them. Thanks . This song would have been wasted in my youth, but great in my advancing age
At 10:48 I think most do look back on their childhood with nostalgia and remember what they liked as a child. The trends of times including clothes/hair styles, music, movies, television, video games, technology. As adults a lot of people rebuy items they had as a kid or wanted to buy as a kid.
So distinctive, immediately recognizable. Floyd produced a great body of work over the years that should stand the test of time. Thanks for sharing. Glad you liked it!
@DianeJennings - you should definitely look into one of the songs from an early album, Ummagumma! The song is called “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict,” and it is one of their most entirely “out there” recordings. I absolutely love it.
@@DianeJennings hi I'm Matt I'm 38 and I'm a big fan of yours I was wondering if we could be friends on the phone I like to act out stories with texts and I like your voice a I think you are very beautiful too please let me know when you are free if you want to be friends
@chrisdorsey: No. This was actually written by Dave Gilmours' wife or daughter. It's more about the passage of time since attending university. Listen to the words. You might be thinking of The album "Wish you Were Here" particularly Shine on You Crazy Diamond?
I've seen dozens of concerts, the best one hands down without a doubt was pink Floyd division bell tour in 1994 ,ill never forget it , there are some tribute bands and one I recommend is brit Floyd, I closed my eyes and couldn't tell the difference , very cool video Diane
I still remember a coworker spending his lunch break calling the box office over and over again until he got through and got tickets to that show. He had the biggest smile on his face.
Pink Floyd legendary rock riffs with laser light shows are very enjoyable. One of the most known rock bands of all time so many good songs. Diane, Your Reactions Bring Me so much Happy Joyful Good Vibes. Thanks for sharing the Music Journey.
The first time I listened to this entire album I cried at the end. This is the final track of the last studio album from Pink Floyd. The bell throughout the song symbolized the end of the band to me. The fade out of the bell at the end of the track made me break down and cry knowing that this was it.
Been a big fan of Pink Floyd since the mid 1990s, around the time The Division Bell, and this song came out. A couple of years ago I found my new favourite band, and quite a while ago they did a tribute to Pink Floyd by covering this song. I'm not normally a big fan of covers, but this version was very good. If you get a chance, check out the Nightwish version. And then fall down the very deep Nightwish rabbit hole.
Great reaction, Diane! Pink Floyd...what else can be said? This one of my favorite Floyd songs. Nightwish has a cover of this song that really respects the original.
Even some of us with horrible childhoods have aspects of them we feel nostalgia for. In my case, where I grew up was absolutely fantastic for mid-teens and below. At home was awful, but in that time and place, most of my time was spent outside anyway, climbing trees and rocks, riding bikes in a 20-mile loop that included a good chunk going through the copious woods, a huge lake right across the street, and at a time before helicopter parents were a thing so we just did whatever occurred to us in the moment. And most of this was when the U.S. started finally hearing about Pink Floyd, and my older brothers were fans so I heard them, too. Yeah, I had Ummagumma on 8-track!
I didn’t have 8-track, but I had the LP. OOOH, Diane should do a video to “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict!!”

Years ago I watched a documentary about PF and a journalist from the doc described PF's later music as "soundscapes." That description is the perfect fit for most of those legendary PF albums.
I remember buying The Division Bell album on CD in 1996 after I got my first CD player. I have always enjoyed the song, but it gave a different message to me then vs today. Then, I saw it more as there are divisions amongst people, but hopefully in time those can be repaired. Today, I definitely see the nostalgia aspect of the song, but the message saying more that things will never get better with time, but one can still hope and try. The entire album is worth listening to, including Take It Back, Keep Talking, Wearing the inside Out, and Lost For Words.
David Gilmour has his own YT channel, and just recently released his latest track, and as he's been doing for over 50 years, he makes it worth listening to. Floyd is one of those groups that you can listen to a particular song, but there are two or three albums you need to listen to first song to last to really appreciate their musicality.
Thanks for teaching Me what the song was about Narrating what You found online and giving Your thoughts on the song. I enjoy learning with You the most.
I have heard the song Pink Floyd High Hopes and seen the 90s concert Pulse online. This was My First time seeing the music video with You. I think the music video turned out good.
Hi Diane and Chewie! Happy Wednesday to you both! I'm glad that you're becoming hip to Pink Floyd! My first exposure to the group was having to watch a film of theirs for my Film Appreciation class in Junior College called "The Wall." I'll say that it was very eclectic. This song you listened to and reacted to seems pretty cool. I always enjoy your insights and reactions to these types of videos. They're quite genuine, and you always look like you're having a good time with listening to them and bands like them. I appreciate you and your channel! Thanks for doing what you do and for always being a bright and beautiful way to get through our week! All the best to you, Chewy, and even Editor Diane. (ED). Enjoy the rest of your week! 👋😎🎉🎊💚🍀🇨🇮
At 12:11 Pink Floyd is Definitely one of my Favorite Bands to listen too also. The music is so good its kinda like the Guitars and Instruments even Sing.
You would absolutely love the 1994 Pulse concert version of this song!! If you have a chance look for it....many other great songs are in that concert too. You'll love the visual effects ......the lights,lazers and more are completely put if this world....trust me You'll love this concert!!
I love watching the Joy in your face as you discover this music. I think the music of Pink Floyd has drawn more and more varied emotional responses from me than any other band I’ve ever listened to. I was also fortunate enough to see them in concert when I was in my late teens, although that was after the split, during the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. I was a little too young to have experienced them live with Roger Waters.
Glad you are finding a flavor of jam Diane that you enjoy. The journey is paying off. And there is still so much to explore and different flavors to taste. BOOP
Pink Floyd was always a terrific group, but I was always partial to their album Dark Side Of The Moon (Time was on that one). Money is another great song on that one, along with the instrumental Any Color You Like. If you're into the 80s, some great songs are Take On Me by A-Ha, Back On The Chain Gang by The Pretenders, Your Love by The Outfield, Chains Of Love by Erasure. I'm more into 70s music, and Tighter, Tighter by Alive 'N' Kickin', Hot Fun In The Summertime by Sly And The Family Stone, Rock And Roll Hoochie Coo by Rick Derringer, and Rock On by David Essex always take me back to high school in the 70s. My favorite song of all time is The Game Of Love, a collaboration with Michelle Branch and Carlos Santana. Diane, if you did ANY of these songs, you'd probably like them, and it would make my day!
Lovely reaction. Should you wish to react to an 80s sounding Pink Floyd aong, please check out "One Slip" live from their "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" tour. 🙏
Can't say why I've never listened to Pink Floyd. I really liked the opening with the bell and the piano in stereo and the acoustic guitar with the bass during the verses give you vibes. Going to need to look into more Pink Floyd songs.
I would recommend The dark side of the moon album (don't listen to them as separate songs as it's more of an experience than every song saying something specific). The wall is more psychological (again, it's a concept album that should be listened to all the way or the movie watched all at once). A momentary lapse of reason is pretty good but not their best work. Learning to fly, On the Turning away, and Sorrow are the ones you really want to look at on that one. Other good songs in my humble opinion are Shine on you crazy diamond and A great day for freedom. P.S. Wish you were here is another.
Love your dog lol!!! But this song was huge for me. I knew Pink and liked some things as a 80s 90s kid. But this song drew me in. And made me see Guitarist Gilmore live at Georgia Tech. After the show, I bought everything.
The song seems to me a kind of new understanding of things first explored in PF's song "Time." Roger Waters wrote the earlier one, and in his youth captured the kind of dismay felt by so many as they age. Whereas David Gilmour's "The Division Bell" seems more resigned, at peace, with the disappointment that realizing time passes can bring. Really appreciate your taking time to check out these PF songs, and I look forward to more!
A bit of info about High Hopes. First of all, most of Pink Floyd's famous songs are from the 1970s. High Hopes was from a much later time (1994). They were much older & the song is about how much "sweeter" everything was when they began, yet their ambition remained. I suggest you watch them performing it live for the first time to begin their concert in 94. Seeing them live will make you appreciate them even more. ua-cam.com/video/pDKPz6KD8fs/v-deo.html (Notice how it got less reaction than normal from the crowd because nobody knew the song...hehe...it has since become extremely popular.)
In the pre-MTV era, Pink Floyd was THE band for rock visuals. They used to hire design wizards Hipgnosis for their cover art and were also the first ones to use laser shows and projections in a concert. So the video in itself is a bit Hipgnosis-like. Bear in mind however that the band's best albums are those without videoclips, the Roger Waters-led era (he left the band in the mid-Eighties). Check anything from Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here or The Wall and you'll be amazed.
Great reaction Diane! One of my favourite PF songs. As it was my mom's favourite, I find it hard to get through this one without tearing up since her passing in 2018. Very reflective song! I highly recommend checking the live version from the PULSE tour (you don't need to react to it - but you NEED to see/hear it!) The sound is deeper, fuller. Pink Floyd is truly a 'live' band - they excel at making their studio songs better when performing it before an audience! (might have something to do with the visuals too!) Cheers!
The fact you smile during this song tells me you have not aged enough to really feel the meaning of these lyrics. One day you might hear this again and it will hit you like a ton of bricks.
Thanks Diane! This song surprised me. I thought that I had heard almost every Pink Floyd song before. In fact my personal favourite song is ‘Comfortably Numb’ by them. But I hadn’t heard this song before. Very thought provoking. 🤔
I love that this actually has pronounciated clean and clear lyrics. Add the stellar music, bonuses on the lack of conflict between the two. Sad how much music can't do this.
Ah yes, Irish Girl! Over the years, one comes to the realization that Pink Floyd's is dichotomous music. Both Yin and Yang. Ethereal and yet Corporeal at once...Sublime yet Simplistic. So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for sharing. Perhaps the reason for No glib "angel" comment from ED is that she was diggin' the tune too. Besides, there's no denying what is intuitively obvious. Hope you and Chewie are havin' a Wondǝrful Wǝᴉɍdnǝsday. I like that you're still Rockin' the Tricolour on the back wall!💚🤍🧡
The use of the bell as an instrument was cool. I did wonder if you recognized some of those places based on your facial expressions. I used to wish that I was an adult. Now I wish I was a kid again. Lol.
I understand the sentiment, but I don't think I would want to go back. Every year that goes by upsets the balance. It is no longer true that childhood is easy and adulthood is hard. Young people today are forced to deal with concepts and problems that most of us were spared. As a pastor, I'm sure you know that is how evil seeks to undermine all that is good, by attacking those who are least prepared to defend themselves against it.
@@lawrencedavis9246 very true. The ill prepared are easy prey. My early childhood was great (and I get that a lot weren't), later childhood not so great. Our culture is definitely in an upheaval.
At 0:54 I like Pink Floyds Psychedelic Light Shows and Giant Screen Psydelic Graphics without being on Psychedelics. The Graphics You added to the Reaction Video Rock.
It was so mellow that Chewie fell asleep. But he would also like an extra walk and treats please. I'm not sure what Chewie meant by duckies? Everyone have a wonderful day.
I still think you should watch Pink Floyd perform a song from the Pulse concert, if you're able. Maybe "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" or "Comfortably Numb." A feast for the eyes as well as the ears.
80s music isn't exactly a music genre but...there are new artists that are heavily inspired by the 80s sonically like The Weeknd or M83 (very synth-pop) Bat for Lashes at times has a Kate Bush thing going on and for what it's worth Tears for Fears recently released an excellent album titled "The Tipping Point." That's just a taste. Food for thought.
At 9:15 I like the architecture and design of the old chapels and schools. The buildings are great works of art and look good in background pictures. Sounds like an experience the weird school with the cloaks I am always interested in You stories and learning about Your journeys.
You could also try Pink Floyd's Animals album. Someone synced up an edited animated version of Orwell's Animal Farm to the album. You could make several videos from that, and listen to the whole album. Then you could listen to that whenever you'd like.
I was in college when this song and album came out, and I can honestly say I remember nothing about it. I was surprised it debuted and stayed at number 1, competing against bands like AIC, Metallica, Live, etc. It's a tight song. I liked it.
Do the live Comfortably Numb, Pulse concert. They do this song as well. Watching the evolution of your face , as the song progressed , reminds me of all of us first time we listened to it. Saw Floyd 4 times starting in 73. I was 13. No adult supervision. Floyd was one of the few bands we'd "camp out" for tickets. I was fortunate to always be dead center no further back than 20th row unless it was outdoors which was the 73 Dark Side concert. Last saw The Wall in 79 (?) in Atlanta. Definitely my favorite band and I've seen most of the greats. Always a great show and awesome crowd. Give Kenny Chesney's, No Shoes No Shirt No Problems , a listen. Not relevant to this conversation. Fun summer beach song. Think you'll enjoy it. Kinda country but, here in Florida, we call it Trop-rock. Think Jimmy Buffet. Keep it up. Capt.Bob, SV ( Sailing Vessel ) 27th Chance, Tampa Fl, USA 🇺🇸
I am sure I've heard this song before, but it felt completely new to me. There is much in my childhood I am nostalgic for, and my 20s too. 😁 Thanks for reintroducing this one to me.
That's a really good song, and the music does seem to flow smoothly. The church bell sounds reminded me of the clock in one of the churches in the village in the town in which I grew up that used to ring out the time of day. "One man's journey," could be everyone's journey because, even though we are wonderfully individual, deep down we are all really the same - just one basic person - jointly sharing our humanity. Enough philosophical clap trap. Great video, Diane.
Your thumbnail reminded me of "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think, Oh, by the way, which one's pink?" - Check out "Have a cigar", great song too, pretty unique even for Pink Floyd. Good video !
In January 1993, when I was 10, I was sitting in my living room, when my dad received a phone call on our landline. He was visibly confused, and sat in silence for a bit, and said "right" in a sarcastic tone and hung up the phone. We asked him what the call was, and he said "It was a guy asking for Charlie," and it was really weird, there was a little kid on the phone too. I first heard the song "Keep Talking" from the Division Bell on the radio in March 1994, and bought the album for my birthday in June 1994. We play "High Hopes," and low and behold, at the end of the song, there's a phone call of a man asking for "Charlie," as well as a little kid responding on a second phone line. My dad realizes it was the same conversation, and there is his voice at the end saying "right." They put the conversation on the CD! We are 100% sure that's my father at the very end saying "right" and hanging up. He even went to a lawyer's office about it, and was told even if he could prove it, the sound sample is so small that any compensation he would receive would be totally unsubstantial. Reply
Check out this version from "Live at Robert Wyatts Meltdown". David replaces the electric bass guitar with a stand up bass and adds a cello to compliment his guitar. ua-cam.com/video/lgE-FNhHy54/v-deo.html
The live version from Pulse is incredible .... That end solo he just goes off on one ! :)
Pulse has my favorite versions of several of their songs.
Pink Floyd is like a magical vehicle. You might not know where you're heading at first but it's always a deep and enjoyable ride.
Did You know? David Gilmour of Pink Floyd has a new album coming out September 6th called Luck and Strange.
Ooh I did not, I’ll be looking into it, thank you

Haha I wonder what the bands themselves would make of that ponderance!!
Pink Floyd is not a band you listen to. You wear their music, absorb it into your soul, and it lives inside you forever.
True, and you you have to understand this too.
At 10:48 I think most do look back on their childhood with nostalgia and remember what they liked as a child. The trends of times including clothes/hair styles, music, movies, television, video games, technology. As adults a lot of people rebuy items they had as a kid or wanted to buy as a kid.

@DianeJennings - you should definitely look into one of the songs from an early album, Ummagumma! The song is called “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict,” and it is one of their most entirely “out there” recordings. I absolutely love it.
I believe this song was about remorse for Sid Barrett. One of the original members. I suggest you look him up.

The first time I listened to this entire album I cried at the end. This is the final track of the last studio album from Pink Floyd. The bell throughout the song symbolized the end of the band to me. The fade out of the bell at the end of the track made me break down and cry knowing that this was it.
I like how Pink Floyd has a lot of items with circles in visual arts graphics of the music video symbolizing how things go forever.
Been a big fan of Pink Floyd since the mid 1990s, around the time The Division Bell, and this song came out.

Pink Floyd more than any other band I have listen to is a vibe. I never understood how to describe them till someone younger explained the term.
You never go wrong with Pink Floyd, a future suggestion could be Dogs off the Animals album
A song called dogs? Sounds amazing.
I've never heard this song so I'm on the journey with you for this one 😁 x pure angelic sure 😉👼
Then you REALLY need to check out the album "Division Bell" it comes from. There's even a song with Steven Hawking as well!

One of the best saxophone solos ever!!
Roger Webb’s Assignation especially with the Orion Projeckt slide show
Great reaction Diane! One of my favourite PF songs. As it was my mom's favourite, I find it hard to get through this one without tearing up since her passing in 2018. Very reflective song!
I highly recommend checking the live version from the PULSE tour (you don't need to react to it - but you NEED to see/hear it!) The sound is deeper, fuller.
Pink Floyd is truly a 'live' band - they excel at making their studio songs better when performing it before an audience! (might have something to do with the visuals too!) Cheers!
The fact you smile during this song tells me you have not aged enough to really feel the meaning of these lyrics. One day you might hear this again and it will hit you like a ton of bricks.
Such a damn masterpiece
Thanks Diane! This song surprised me. I thought that I had heard almost every Pink Floyd song before. In fact my personal favourite song is ‘Comfortably Numb’ by them. But I hadn’t heard this song before. Very thought provoking. 🤔
Love it! And that was you on the twitch stream, right?
@@DianeJennings Yes, it was! 😃
High Hopes Live from PULSE concert is even better
Nice song about reminiscing about your youth.
I love that this actually has pronounciated clean and clear lyrics. Add the stellar music, bonuses on the lack of conflict between the two.
Sad how much music can't do this.
One of my favs
Ah yes, Irish Girl! Over the years, one comes to the realization that Pink Floyd's is dichotomous music. Both Yin and Yang. Ethereal and yet Corporeal at once...Sublime yet Simplistic. So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for sharing. Perhaps the reason for No glib "angel" comment from ED is that she was diggin' the tune too. Besides, there's no denying what is intuitively obvious.
Hope you and Chewie are havin' a Wondǝrful Wǝᴉɍdnǝsday. I like that you're still Rockin' the Tricolour on the back wall!💚🤍🧡
🇮🇪 wahey! 👼
Happy Weird Wednesday. I really love this video.
Yay another Awesome video.
The use of the bell as an instrument was cool. I did wonder if you recognized some of those places based on your facial expressions.
I used to wish that I was an adult. Now I wish I was a kid again. Lol.
I understand the sentiment, but I don't think I would want to go back. Every year that goes by upsets the balance. It is no longer true that childhood is easy and adulthood is hard.
Young people today are forced to deal with concepts and problems that most of us were spared. As a pastor, I'm sure you know that is how evil seeks to undermine all that is good, by attacking those who are least prepared to defend themselves against it.
Very cool! 🛎️
@@lawrencedavis9246 very true. The ill prepared are easy prey. My early childhood was great (and I get that a lot weren't), later childhood not so great. Our culture is definitely in an upheaval.
At 0:54 I like Pink Floyds Psychedelic Light Shows and Giant Screen Psydelic Graphics without being on Psychedelics. The Graphics You added to the Reaction Video Rock.
Because of all you reactionists I'm finally appreciating this song. Thank you.
From the same album listen to 'Marooned' best Pink Floyd solo guitar ever
It was so mellow that Chewie fell asleep. But he would also like an extra walk and treats please. I'm not sure what Chewie meant by duckies?
Everyone have a wonderful day.
I still think you should watch Pink Floyd perform a song from the Pulse concert, if you're able. Maybe "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" or "Comfortably Numb." A feast for the eyes as well as the ears.
Sam is correct.
I’ve made a note of that now. Thanks!
How may I make you smile today?
80s music isn't exactly a music genre but...there are new artists that are heavily inspired by the 80s sonically like The Weeknd or M83 (very synth-pop) Bat for Lashes at times has a Kate Bush thing going on and for what it's worth Tears for Fears recently released an excellent album titled "The Tipping Point." That's just a taste. Food for thought.
At 9:15 I like the architecture and design of the old chapels and schools. The buildings are great works of art and look good in background pictures. Sounds like an experience the weird school with the cloaks I am always interested in You stories and learning about Your journeys.
You could also try Pink Floyd's Animals album. Someone synced up an edited animated version of Orwell's Animal Farm to the album. You could make several videos from that, and listen to the whole album. Then you could listen to that whenever you'd like.
That sounds very cool!
At 13:19 It's good to see Chewie getting Plenty of Sleep while listening to some good Music Then getting a Treat. Your a Really Good Mom to Chewie.
Please don't forget you was going to do stairway to heaven live
Do yourself a huge favour and check out the live Pulse concert version...it will blow your mind.
Yes. you can do mindfulness. It doesn't come naturally to anyone.
This music video is like a dream-scape
So GORGEOUS 🙏😇🥰 And Seriously GREAT Voice BTW I Love your cats Name😁😆
I was in college when this song and album came out, and I can honestly say I remember nothing about it. I was surprised it debuted and stayed at number 1, competing against bands like AIC, Metallica, Live, etc. It's a tight song. I liked it.
Oh, is that who is also charting then? So much variety.
Mindfulness means you think of your actions
Do the live Comfortably Numb, Pulse concert. They do this song as well. Watching the evolution of your face , as the song progressed , reminds me of all of us first time we listened to it. Saw Floyd 4 times starting in 73. I was 13. No adult supervision. Floyd was one of the few bands we'd "camp out" for tickets. I was fortunate to always be dead center no further back than 20th row unless it was outdoors which was the 73 Dark Side concert. Last saw The Wall in 79 (?) in Atlanta. Definitely my favorite band and I've seen most of the greats. Always a great show and awesome crowd. Give Kenny Chesney's, No Shoes No Shirt No Problems , a listen. Not relevant to this conversation. Fun summer beach song. Think you'll enjoy it. Kinda country but, here in Florida, we call it Trop-rock. Think Jimmy Buffet. Keep it up. Capt.Bob, SV ( Sailing Vessel ) 27th Chance, Tampa Fl, USA 🇺🇸
I am sure I've heard this song before, but it felt completely new to me. There is much in my childhood I am nostalgic for, and my 20s too. 😁 Thanks for reintroducing this one to me.
Glad you enjoyed it! Great to see you on the stream today - thanks!
Hello, Happy Wednesday to you Diane. I think Pink Floyd’s music was probably always meant to be listened to while high lol.
Try Echoes live in Pompeii, it'll blow your mind. Then listen to the album Dark side of the Moon.
That's a really good song, and the music does seem to flow smoothly. The church bell sounds reminded me of the clock in one of the churches in the village in the town in which I grew up that used to ring out the time of day.
"One man's journey," could be everyone's journey because, even though we are wonderfully individual, deep down we are all really the same - just one basic person - jointly sharing our humanity.
Enough philosophical clap trap. Great video, Diane.
I like your thought process Jim! I sent you a message on Patreon
Great video 😊
Your thumbnail reminded me of "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think, Oh, by the way, which one's pink?" - Check out "Have a cigar", great song too, pretty unique even for Pink Floyd. Good video !
Thanks for reacting to it Diane!
In January 1993, when I was 10, I was sitting in my living room, when my dad received a phone call on our landline. He was visibly confused, and sat in silence for a bit, and said "right" in a sarcastic tone and hung up the phone. We asked him what the call was, and he said "It was a guy asking for Charlie," and it was really weird, there was a little kid on the phone too.
I first heard the song "Keep Talking" from the Division Bell on the radio in March 1994, and bought the album for my birthday in June 1994. We play "High Hopes," and low and behold, at the end of the song, there's a phone call of a man asking for "Charlie," as well as a little kid responding on a second phone line. My dad realizes it was the same conversation, and there is his voice at the end saying "right." They put the conversation on the CD! We are 100% sure that's my father at the very end saying "right" and hanging up. He even went to a lawyer's
office about it, and was told even if he could prove it, the sound sample is so small that any compensation he would receive would be totally unsubstantial.

Check out this version from "Live at Robert Wyatts Meltdown". David replaces the electric bass guitar with a stand up bass and adds a cello to compliment his guitar. ua-cam.com/video/lgE-FNhHy54/v-deo.html
YAY!! A Floyd convert.
