Amber is ABSOLUTELY correct in wanting/NEEDING to listen to this whole album, The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), from beginning to end. Trust me, it's an EXPERIENCE -- and you won't regret it. This album is often considered one of THE BEST albums of ALL TIME and, in this case, the accolades are deserving!
@@seekingwisdom5156 735 weeks (about 14 years) on the Billboard charts. Then the album was reissued and it went back on the charts for another 750 weeks. About 1500 weeks on the Billboard charts total. No other recording even comes close. 25 million copies sold worldwide.
DO THE WHOLE ALBUM. TRUST US. The songs will all connect seamlessly and everything will become clear once you listen to it in its entirety. ✌️ ❤️ 🌝 🌈 🎸
The guitarist is named David Gilmour, and no one else sounds like him. Listen to how few notes he plays. He gets more mileage out of a single, sustained note than nearly any other musician. Absolutely incomparable.
There's a small documentary around, I think it's about how they constructed 'Us And Them' but I could be wrong, where David Gilmour sits at a mixing desk and talks about "the art of leaving out stuff". He demonstrates it by muting some mixing channels. Even for somebody that has been listening to these songs for over four decades it's kinda mind blowing to see that music disected to its core.
I am a 75 year old woman and I recently discovered Pink Floyd. Back in the day I listened to soft rock, R & B, jazz music. I feel like I missed out decades of Pink Floyd. I am obsessed with Pink Floyd, thank goodness for concert videos and documentaries. I have joined the David Gilmour fan club. You are right, they are trippy.
Welcome to the Pink Floyd fan club. I've been into them from the beginning. I'm 76. Saw David Gilmore at the Greek Theater in the 80s and Pink Floyd at the Oakland Coliseum in the 90s. They put on some of the best concerts I've seen (started attending concerts at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1965).
I have always had a few different favourites, even back in my school days, when there was peer pressure attached to your choices as a male. I don't remember 1 Donny Osmond fan 🤔 I liked and collected Elton John, like he was going out of fashion, but my answer to the question was nearly always Bowie. However, my own personal, only a few of my mates know, favourite, was Cockney Rebel. My older brother was well into Beatles, Kinks, Zeppelin, Floyd, and Motown and Reggae before that, so I listened to them, too. I have a few favourite bands from my teens, but in terms of my vinyl collection, Floyd and Dark Side, in particular, are easily in my top 5 most played over the past 50 years since it's release. In fact, it probably vies for the top spot with Abbey Road. Sorry for rambling.
You should try "Us And Them," "The Great Gig In The Sky," and "Money" from this same album. BETTER YET, this album should be listened to from beginning to end in one setting!! Dark Side of The Moon is one of the greatest albums of all time for a reason!
I would crank this up with just a oil lamp for light in a real wood paneled room with wood floors and watch them breathe. The full album is the way to go with all the snap crackles and pops as it spins.
Next recommended Pink Floyd song: “The Great Gig in the Sky” But do this on Female Friday because the band just plays the instruments while their background vocalist, Clare Torry, provides the only vocals.
More importantly, she had not a clue what they wanted. After she tried some normal 'doo whaa' background they stopped her and said NO, but gave her no clue what would get a YES. So she just decided to use her voice as an additional instrument, and magic happened.
Amber. You were almost there with the lyrics. Listen again, read them as you do. Take heed and listen once every year. Use it as a reminder, don't let life pass you by! ("......And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No-one told you when to run, you've missed the starting gun!")
Such a masterpiece, I’m 63 and remember instinctively my music teacher making us hear this album in class in 1973! Never tire of it - just magical and boy this song hits you heavy as you reach old age
I'm 65 and wondering how you reached old age at only 63. But yeah, Amber picked up on the 'trying to catch up' theme. They should always have lyrics to look at when they do a reaction. A lot of times, the lyrics are really unexpected when listening to the tune. Sometimes, like in this one, they're just so damn DEEP. As a side note: If someone would have tried to pause Dark Side of the Moon when we were first listening to it in the early 70s, they'd have got their ass kicked. Just sayin', J.
I first listened to this song (and the entire album) when I was around 20 and wondered how I'd never heard it before. Now, at 44, I appreciate it more than ever. "Time," specifically, is incredible to me in how succinctly it describes the phenomenon of time seeming to accelerate as we age. Brilliant.
I was nearly 16 when this came out, (1973). We had a subject at high school where we watched classic movies and the had to do an assignment on the concept of the movie. We had just watched Easy Rider, and our teacher said that we had some time left before the class was over so as a fill in he put this album on. I've been hooked ever since that day. A pivotal moment in my life. Having Easy Rider and Pink Floyd in one day wasn't bad either. :)
Pink Floyd dabbled in quadraphonic sound so listening in the proper environment makes a difference. Also black lights, trippy posters, beanbag chairs also make a difference. I was ten in that environment caught a contact and had my perception changed forever
depends on the recording youre listening too, theres a stero and quad version. Some good open back headphones is my preference to really get that wide sound stage.
Many bands recorded in quadraphonic's. Pink Floyd dabble in sounds, weird sounds making recordings of all kinds of strange noises and sounds. They had an album of it but it was never released from what I remember. Waters even talks about it, making the sounds for "Money" he did at home with an adding machine and a bowl and a few coins.
To understand "Time," go deep into the lyrics. This song, and the entire album, are amazing, but it's really not a "good vibe, feel-good" kind of album, if you listen to the lyrics. "Time" is about the urgency of being young, and wanting to be older, and then, *actually being* older, and facing the passing of time, and regret, and the hopes that didn't come to be. "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way..."
@@ckobo84 Well, I didn't say that I had *lived* the lyrics. I was just explaining the meaning of the lyrics. Roger Waters wrote them, so if you think that he has "fucked away the years of his life" and is "basking in regret," you can take that up with him.
@Rune Kristensen The lyrics are an integral part of the song. Lyrics matter to the meaning of the overall composition, including the music. Dark lyrics can provide a whole other dimension to a *seemingly happy-sounding* song. If lyrics weren't important in songs, more bands would simply do instrumental music.
@Rune Kristensen Literature was my primary field of study at university, so it makes sense that lyrics are important to me, but I do get that they aren't nearly as important to many people. I'm not saying that we should all value the same things in songs. For some people, lyrics are very important, and for some, not as much. If people don't pay attention to lyrics though, then objectively speaking, they are missing a part of what the *actual writer(s)* of the song intended to communicate with it. On the writing of "Time," the lyrics have much, much more to say than just "oh my gosh, time flew by so quickly." That *is* a bad cliche, and anyone could say it. The lyrics of this song are more insightful and poignant than that bad cliche though. I'm not here to argue about whether this song's lyrics are good or not though. I just posted a comment here to say that the overall meaning of this song is not one of "good vibes," *even if* much of the music has a pleasant ambience. If a song has a pleasant-sounding, soothing melody, but the lyrics are speaking of war, terror, and desperation, then to say that the song is a "good vibes" song is to either miss or ignore part of what the song's composer(s) intended to convey with it.
57 here as well. Indeed, that is why I love these "reaction" videos. It is so great to see a whole new generation discovering and appreciating good music. What makes it even better is knowing what is coming; it is kind of like a parent watching a child discover the world. Phoenix, AZ
It is necessary to realize that without Syd Barrett, this band would probably not have been formed at all! Other members are still aware of this and remember it many times in their work ("Wish You Were Here" or "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" ...).
@@lubos1207 Yes without Syd they would have been another has been of the 60s musical revolution as Roger said many times Pink Floyd could not have even started without Syd and after his musical demise could have not continued with him!! I mean Syd gave them the bands name and wrote all the songs an their first Album ('67) Piper at the gates of Dawn, so sad that Syd suffered bouts of Depression/ other mental illness and died a recluse at the age of 60 in relative poverty.
70s kid. I just try to keep it young at heart. This song and Steeldrivers "Where Rainbows Never Die" are great "aging songs", if there is such a genre.
Imagine me, way in my 70s 73 to be correct. Had the album in 73 ,, isn’t it weird? ,, but don’t be sad youngsters, as long you are young in your heart, and brain, listen to some younger artists, it’s get you trough hard times. But can’t beat TIME!!!
I saw them just before the Meddle album was released, which they did a few songs from, and twice during the Dark Side Of The Moon tour and I can still see them in my mind's eye, truly amazing performers and lyricists.
Comfortably Numb is what most people will tell you is their top tier song but for me "Time" is even more of a masterpiece!!!! the lyrics, the guitar, Rick on keyboards and singing along with David....so AMAZING
Lyrics: Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain 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 No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells
The "Home, home again..." lyrics to the end here are actually from the reprise of the song "Breathe." I agree with the earlier comments that you need to listen to the whole album from the beginning to the end to get the full appreciation of "Dark Side of the Moon."
The only way to listen to Pink Floyd is as whole albums. Dark Side of The Moon is considered by many the greatest album ever made. It includes Time but the rest of the songs are equally amazing. You to should definitely do that album
Absolutely. Dark Side of the Moon was produced to be listened to as a whole, not just an album of singles. By listening to them one at a time you lose the transitions between songs and how they build on and relate to one another. There's nothing in this album that's accidental. It's not just an album, it's an experience.
@Rune Kristensen The question is not whether any Floyd song can stand alone they all could the question is which is the better way to listen to them and since Floyd albums are concept albums they are greatly improved by listening to the whole unit.No one would say that the first movement of Beethoven's fifth isn't worth listening to alone but there is no doubt that listening to the whole symphony improves the listen
The lyrics guys...the LYRICS! Something you always want to make sure you hear in a Pink Floyd song. Google the lyrics to this...then revisit them every few years. This is deep, prophetic, an autobiography of the human condition. The apparent increase in the speed of time as years pass is a common experience we all share...and this song speaks of it brilliantly!
You guys will find that as you get older this song becomes more and more relevant. I've been listening to this song for forty years and it still hits home
Y'all need to go out, buy a copy of the MOVIE, Pink Floyd The Wall, put the kids to bed, get your favorite beverage handy and just watch/listen to that whole thing from start to finish. You WILL be SHOOK! The movie is acoustically and visually stunning as well as mind bending! PEACE!!!!!
Kids shouldn't even be home 😂 but it can take a rewatch or two to fully understand the symbolism, definitely be in a good frame of mind, it can be deeply triggering during a depressed phase. I think you guys would love it tho.
Floyd has music that you absolutely feel, rather than just listen to. They allow the music to breathe and don’t feel rushed to come immediately with lyrics but when the lyrics come in they are super powerful! The entire Animals album is one of my favorites! But.... I can’t think of a song on any album that I don’t like some aspect of. Shine on you crazy diamond is an amazing masterpiece dedicated to a former band member with mental illness. It touches the soul! Every Floyd fan needs to hear the entire album The Wall and there’s also a movie. There’s soooo much Pink Floyd to do though! They do tend to write albums as an entire concept piece so you may get a better understanding of the whole album if you listen in order.
i don't remember who originally made the comment, but someone posted that you could be perfectly sober when you start listening to a Pink Floyd song and come out the other side feeling like you just came down off of some form a psychedelic drug.
Amber has the richt mindset to listen to this music. When you listen to a PinkFloyd song, at the end you always have to check what year you're in. And btw you never stop a Pink Floyd halfway.
Speaking of Time: "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" IS IN MY TOP10 OF MOST ICONIC ALBUMS OF ALL TIME! It is properly appreciated in its intended Order from Start to Finish. That would be epic to see you two react to the entire MASTERPIECE in one insatiable sitting! 🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁
Dark Side of the Moon is really one cohesive piece of music. Like an opera or a symphony. You gotta listen to the whole LP front to back in one sitting. It seems to be rite of passage for American suburban white kids from the 80's to smoke weed and listen to DSOTM in the dark with headphones. The reason you recognized the clocks at the beginning as being the end of the song before it.
As a 51 year old white suburban dude, I can attest to the rite of passage, I have listened to this album stoned out of my mind far too many times to count...
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON CAME OUT IN 1973 ,,, 7 years from the 80s , Dark side of the moon ,,, It WAS a very popular LP from the 70s , Just as popular as THRLLER From the 80s ,, EASY
@@theodoreritola9758 did I say anything about when it came out? KIDS from the 80's were TODDLERS in 1973 if they were even born yet. Not old enough to engage in a weed-induced rite of passage. I was talking about kids in the 80's listening to it stoned. Which was a thing. In the 80's. When the record came out is utterly irrelevant to my point. Maybe learn to read before CAPS LOCK correcting things no one said. . And no it was not as "popular as Thriller." In February of 1984 (almost immediately after it's release) Thriller became the best selling record in history and stayed that way.
Pink floyd aren't even american so I dont see how it's just an Americans rite of passage but I mostly agree... every human should listen to DSOTM, The wall and Animals from beginning to end. It's not just music, it's a life lesson.
This is the number one album of all time (time ha) for a reason. I wish nothing more than for Amber to be able to listen to Dark Side of the Moon in its' entirety, as it is meant to be. The look on her face - beautiful.
All the tracks on this album flow seamlessly into the next, that's why they seem to end like they were cut, when you listen to them in isolation. This track especially, needs to be heard with it's immediate follow up "The Great Gig In The Sky" This track is about Time /life going quickly, the Great Gig is about the stages of facing dying; either personally or a loved one.
The Dark Side Of The Moon is, to me, the best Pink Floyd album. It covers so much of what affects us in life. Time ticks off the seconds with a drum beat and also you hear the metronome which gives music precision. A disc jockey on the radio said all the clocks were recorded in a clock shop in London, England, pretty neat history of this song! The entire album is fantastic and a must listen to with headphones 🎧 on! Pink Floyd is a band that is totally unique and very different. Beautiful album to hear in entirety, the pauses between songs is there but very small. You can hear the breaks between each songs with the aid of headphones more so, listen to the whole album if you get the time. You won't be disappointed!!!
So many late nights in the basement on the floor in front of my stereo chillin' with this album on my headphones. The sweet smell of leaf in the air, not a worry, not a care.
Oh my God picture it teenager in the 70s at a house party. THE room is dark and smokey and all of a sudden this album plays for the very first time!!!!! I still remember it and im 61!! Again, how lucky were we????✌❤
So glad you decided to do this one. This is a song you have to come back to throughout your life. As you get older, it will change, become deeper and more meaningful. I'm at an age where it's hard to listen to it without weeping now. Time gets away from you and there is no getting it back. "The time is gone, the song is over - thought I'd something more to say." I want that on my tombstone.
This song hits me the same way. I sing-along at full volume and I feel myself choke up on the words at points. Just grabbed you by the heart and especially now that I’m almost 50.
Rob and Amber i have a great song for you The band PLAYER and their song BABY COME BACK There HARMONOIES are FANTASTICK , You will thank me,, I PROMISE ,,The song came out in 1977 , Thank you for your fun videos ,, Take Care ,
@@sidanic6684 Which post are you questioning? If the original, then they were talking about how mellow Pink Floyd songs are and Money is harder rock but still has a message just like their slower, mellow tunes. If you meant my reply to Donald, it was faux outrage at his dad joke about the track list order on DSOTM.
Back when this was only a couple of years out a friend of mine told me she didn’t like Pink Floyd. Thought that was odd, so I asked. She said the “notes were too long”.
As someone who has been playing for almost 60 years, I am perpetually amazed at how incredibly talented he is and the emotion he can pull from his fingers.
As with most songs, Pink Floyd is asking you to explore and uncover the nature of your existence. This is something many should realise they should do before they turn 13, let alone 30. We don’t know what we are, how we exist, or how any of it exists, but we go about acting in the world. This is reckless. We think we have all the time in the world (intellectually we know we don’t, but experientially we are clueless) to the point that we can feel more than 0 moments of stress and fear, to the point we can waste time being angry, to the point we see any meaning to getting a job/earning money beyond survival (which can easily be done without a penny). All our lives, we go outwards in exploration. It’s never occurred to most to go within - the only place every single experience exists. It is impossible for anybody to experience anything anywhere but from within.
@@theawesome1rjc As time goes by, you can almost feel like there's bound to be some religious revival, I hope it can impart this bit of knowledge upon humanity. shine on brother.
Back in the day there were albums released that were more than just a bunch of song tracks, they were "concept" albums where the musicians allowed themselves to play and explore and create something new or different, and then put it out there for the rest of us to follow their journey. I know a lot of folks would do drugs while listening, but that just wasn't my thing. I would just go into our basement (rec room) put on the earphones, dim the lights, and drop the the needle, expecting to do nothing but immerse myself in the sounds for the next hour or so. --- Good stuff Maynard!!
The first time I heard DSOTM I was very much under the influence, and not alcohol, and I was totally blown away. That’s was late 70s early 80s maybe. On the way back from my friends house the following morning I bought the album and have listened to it ever since. And you’re absolutely correct, that was a long time ago, and you certainly don’t need drugs to get/understand/enjoy it. But I do like to set a scene similar to yours, lay down, get comfy, lights out, headphones on and no distractions. It still blows me away to this day.

Our science museum had a theater that was domed and it was like sitting under the stars on Friday and Saturday night you could go and watch laser lights to whole Dark side of the moon album! My first time doing laser light I was 9 and 20years later I took my 9 year old sone! You have to listen to the whole album from start to finish!
I bought Dark Side when it came out but somehow Amber’s love of it has reawakened my appreciation of how brilliant it actually is. And for that I thank both of them. Shine on you crazy diamond.
When he sings “The time has come. The song is over. Thought I’d something more to say”, he’s talking about dying. The next song on the album “Great Gig in the Sky” deals with the stages of anticipating the end, from denial to acceptance. Beautiful song if you haven’t listen too it yet! “Time” is a masterpiece within a masterpiece!
Pink Floyd one of a kind band. Back in the 70s we used to call it "space" music. Probably because everyone was spaced out in the 70s and that music just melted you. Speaking of another great song from 1970 react to Edgar and Johnny Winters version of tobacco road live from 1970, you'll love it and I'm anxiously awaiting
Check out “‘Great Gig in the Sky” from this album! 🙏🏻 Will amaze you both 🔥🎶🔥 Pink Floyd is known for their long intros (and outros, too) Yes, we get you, Amber! Pink Floyd doesn’t block 🤗 And they’re my favorite band, too.
Guys! For female Friday, Pink Floyd - The great gig in the sky. It's a song about death and dying. (Throwing this out there so that you can understand before it hits you).
You need to listen to the entire Dark Side of the Moon album in one sitting, no breaks. Each song leads into the next with no breaks, and it is a true aural experience. Time leads into The Great Gig in the Sky, which is one of the most amazing pieces of music you will ever hear IMO.
I've seen them all from that era and NOTHING is like a Pink Floyd concert. Zep, Queen, Allman Bros., Dead, Stones, name it...none of them compare to The Floyd. They're simply mesmerizing.
She so GETS it! She totally vibes out! It’s so enjoyable to watch. This song has been in my life as long as I can remember thanks to my 8 years older brother. What I wouldn’t give to be able to hear it for the first time.
Out of all the album of music ever created, Dark Side of the Moon is the Album that you must listen to from start to finish to feel it. It is a Pink Floyd album. It has the record for most consecutive weeks on Billboard’s top 100 albums for over 700 weeks straight, around 14 years. It is a masterpiece. There is a funny saying that surrounds it though. “It is the greatest album of all time, but it isn’t even the best Pink Floyd album.”
"Wish You Were Here" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" are must listen to songs, and I will pitch my favorite Pink Floyd song "Fearless" ...it is really hard to go wrong with Pink Floyd. Enjoy!
The tracks on 'Dark side' segue into one another in a sequence, so although you have a journey within each song, the whole album is a journey in itself meant to be listened to in order and in one uninterrupted sitting. Yup, I know, not completely possible without getting blocked, and Floyd's publishers are super tough on copyright issues. The full album experience is what's needed though, otherwise it's like looking at separated petals of a flower, seeing that they're beautiful, but not seeing the entire flower.
Amber, when I was 19 (I am now 55) I first listened to Pink Floyd and I was suddenly trapped within the amazing power of the music and the words. As I grew older I never lost my love for this band and each time I listen to them I am transported. It is a ‘trip’ and it never gets old. As I see you both discover them and enjoy them I am so happy that they still speak to people. This band is unique and will be remembered in history. Thank you for sharing your reaction. It is a blessing 😊
You should totally listen to this entire album uninterrupted. "Great Gig in the Sky" will give you chills and move you to tears. You should also check out "On The Turning Away" - haunting and mesmerizing.
The whole album... would be a great reaction. Floyd, when they did concept albums they were masters at using the music to grab you, and put you where they want you , feeling what they want you to feel, when they want you to feel it . It's mesmerizing, life changing, and always will be. Once you get it, you can't shake it away.
I have enjoyed songs by Pink Floyd for so long now, they have become so familiar and part of my life. Seeing young people listening to these great songs now it takes me back to when I first heard them, and hope they appreciate them as much as I have.
"Us and Then" next from the same record-breaking album 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Or do the whole thing from the beginning even better!! You should know that all tracks run into each other... Hardly no breaks in-between. Suggestion, if you're going to pause, back it up a few clicks afterwards so as not to ruin the flow. Also, single tracks of Pink Floyd hardly ever get blocked on here. So don't over concern yourself with that. Enjoy the ride!!
I had to go back & watch more of your Pink Floyd videos. Especially Great Gig In the Sky. Thanks for listening to my generation music. They put on the best concert I've ever seen.
Great Gig is quietly my favorite track on the record. Time would be #2 followed very closely by Money. But it's not fair to rate tracks on what is really a 50 minute experience of one WHOLE.
Definitely go for Pink Floyd "Dogs" next, from the 1977 album Animals (After Dark Side of the Moon ('73) & Wish You Were Here ('75), but before The Wall ('79))... It's longer, but it also showcases, in my opinion, each band member at the top of their game.
One of the greatest prog-rock psychedelic bands in the rock scene, along with Rush and Yes. So many awesome songs and amazing albums, top three albums would be Animals, Wish You Were Here, and Darkside of the Moon. Comfortably numb is on The Wall album and Time is on the Darkside of the Moon. Oh yeah, David Gilmore is one of the greatest soul seeking and soul searching guitarists on the planet next to Gary Moore
1. I love your guys’ channel! 2. comfortably numb and time are from two different albums. time is from dark side of the moon, comfortably numb is from the wall. 3. I definitely recommend listening to the entire dark side of the moon album in one sitting, it’s like one huge song that narrates from birth to death
This song always hits me. Everytime I come across old photos of my kids when they were toddlers the line always rings in my ear “Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time, plans that either come to nought, or half a page of scribbled lines”
Yeah, you really should listen to this album straight through, or one "side" at a time, since the songs are (almost) all connected. I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am really looking forward to your reaction to Great Gig in the Sky; that's going to be awesome...
You guys should do a viewer special and watch the wall movie straight through or listen to Dark Side of the Moon straight through. It would be a long video, maybe you can break it into parts, but both ideas would be amazing for everybody! The important thing, if you break it up, is that you record it all at once to get the full experience,
I was able to experience the Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon at the Tropic Cinema in Key West a few years ago. There are no words to describe the feeling. ❤
I'm guessing you're thinking of "Pigs (3 different ones)" as opposed to the short acoustic "Pigs on the Wing" parts 1 and 2 that were served as bookend into/outro's to the same album.
When you’re young you don’t really pay attention to the lyrics. When you’re older they hit you like a sledgehammer!!

I am a 75 year old woman and I recently discovered Pink Floyd. Back in the day I listened to soft rock, R & B, jazz music. I feel like I missed out decades of Pink Floyd. I am obsessed with Pink Floyd, thank goodness for concert videos and documentaries. I have joined the David Gilmour fan club. You are right, they are trippy.
Yep, you missed it
Never too late
Welcome to the Pink Floyd fan club. I've been into them from the beginning. I'm 76. Saw David Gilmore at the Greek Theater in the 80s and Pink Floyd at the Oakland Coliseum in the 90s. They put on some of the best concerts I've seen (started attending concerts at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1965).
I have always had a few different favourites, even back in my school days, when there was peer pressure attached to your choices as a male. I don't remember 1 Donny Osmond fan 🤔 I liked and collected Elton John, like he was going out of fashion, but my answer to the question was nearly always Bowie. However, my own personal, only a few of my mates know, favourite, was Cockney Rebel. My older brother was well into Beatles, Kinks, Zeppelin, Floyd, and Motown and Reggae before that, so I listened to them, too.
I have a few favourite bands from my teens, but in terms of my vinyl collection, Floyd and Dark Side, in particular, are easily in my top 5 most played over the past 50 years since it's release. In fact, it probably vies for the top spot with Abbey Road.
Sorry for rambling.
Welcome To The Machine
As Prince so eloquently put it: “This is not music. This is a trip!”
Agreed 👍 💯
My man
Taking a trip on your couch and not leaving .just timeless music
I remember exactly where I was when I heard this album for the first time and I...was...tripping!😎
Well that was the best way to listen
You should try "Us And Them," "The Great Gig In The Sky," and "Money" from this same album. BETTER YET, this album should be listened to from beginning to end in one setting!! Dark Side of The Moon is one of the greatest albums of all time for a reason!
The only proper advice to give
Yes!! And after listening to The Dark Side of the Moon, she needs to experience The Wall album.
Hey you
I would crank this up with just a oil lamp for light in a real wood paneled room with wood floors and watch them breathe. The full album is the way to go with all the snap crackles and pops as it spins.
@@lorashepard8933 No Doubt!!! I’ve been a Pink Floyd addict since 1972 at the tender age of 13.
This album is the BEST album ever made. All the songs float so well into each other. 'The dark side of the moon' is a true masterpiece.
Lightning in a bottle! They couldn't have made a better album or captured a moment more perfectly if they tried.
Yep
Agreed. Do the entire album start to finish.
Yes. I wore this album out. Love ❤️ it
I totally agree
Next recommended Pink Floyd song:
“The Great Gig in the Sky”
But do this on Female Friday because the band just plays the instruments while their background vocalist, Clare Torry, provides the only vocals.
and she sang it in one take. absolute perfection
@@MrChonk1 YES!!!!!
More importantly, she had not a clue what they wanted. After she tried some normal 'doo whaa' background they stopped her and said NO, but gave her no clue what would get a YES. So she just decided to use her voice as an additional instrument, and magic happened.
You might want to re-listen to Time before starting your reaction, since the two songs blend together.
Do both the original version from Darkside and the live version from Pulse.
Amber.
You were almost there with the lyrics.
Listen again, read them as you do.
Take heed and listen once every year.
Use it as a reminder, don't let life pass you by!
("......And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No-one told you when to run, you've missed the starting gun!")
That lyric destroys me every time.
@@joepegel
More every year!
Such a masterpiece, I’m 63 and remember instinctively my music teacher making us hear this album in class in 1973! Never tire of it - just magical and boy this song hits you heavy as you reach old age
Well damn. I’m 63 and no music teacher EVER did that for me….😂
I'm 65 and wondering how you reached old age at only 63. But yeah, Amber picked up on the 'trying to catch up' theme. They should always have lyrics to look at when they do a reaction. A lot of times, the lyrics are really unexpected when listening to the tune. Sometimes, like in this one, they're just so damn DEEP. As a side note: If someone would have tried to pause Dark Side of the Moon when we were first listening to it in the early 70s, they'd have got their ass kicked. Just sayin', J.
I first listened to this song (and the entire album) when I was around 20 and wondered how I'd never heard it before. Now, at 44, I appreciate it more than ever. "Time," specifically, is incredible to me in how succinctly it describes the phenomenon of time seeming to accelerate as we age. Brilliant.
I was nearly 16 when this came out, (1973). We had a subject at high school where we watched classic movies and the had to do an assignment on the concept of the movie. We had just watched Easy Rider, and our teacher said that we had some time left before the class was over so as a fill in he put this album on. I've been hooked ever since that day. A pivotal moment in my life.
Having Easy Rider and Pink Floyd in one day wasn't bad either. :)
You SAID it!
Pink Floyd dabbled in quadraphonic sound so listening in the proper environment makes a difference. Also black lights, trippy posters, beanbag chairs also make a difference. I was ten in that environment caught a contact and had my perception changed forever
depends on the recording youre listening too, theres a stero and quad version.
Some good open back headphones is my preference to really get that wide sound stage.
Don't forget the LSD and a copy of Wizard of Oz....
@@HeavyTopspin that came much later
Many bands recorded in quadraphonic's. Pink Floyd dabble in sounds, weird sounds making recordings of all kinds of strange noises and sounds. They had an album of it but it was never released from what I remember. Waters even talks about it, making the sounds for "Money" he did at home with an adding machine and a bowl and a few coins.
@@grondinolaf there is one song from the Household Objects project, it was released on the Wish You Were Here 40th anniversary Immersion version.
To understand "Time," go deep into the lyrics. This song, and the entire album, are amazing, but it's really not a "good vibe, feel-good" kind of album, if you listen to the lyrics. "Time" is about the urgency of being young, and wanting to be older, and then, *actually being* older, and facing the passing of time, and regret, and the hopes that didn't come to be. "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way..."
Almost kind of glad they blocked out the lyrics and just enjoyed the song. Not all of us just Fuck away the years of our life and bask in regret.
@@ckobo84 Well, I didn't say that I had *lived* the lyrics. I was just explaining the meaning of the lyrics. Roger Waters wrote them, so if you think that he has "fucked away the years of his life" and is "basking in regret," you can take that up with him.
@Rune Kristensen The lyrics are an integral part of the song. Lyrics matter to the meaning of the overall composition, including the music. Dark lyrics can provide a whole other dimension to a *seemingly happy-sounding* song. If lyrics weren't important in songs, more bands would simply do instrumental music.
@Rune Kristensen Literature was my primary field of study at university, so it makes sense that lyrics are important to me, but I do get that they aren't nearly as important to many people. I'm not saying that we should all value the same things in songs. For some people, lyrics are very important, and for some, not as much. If people don't pay attention to lyrics though, then objectively speaking, they are missing a part of what the *actual writer(s)* of the song intended to communicate with it.
On the writing of "Time," the lyrics have much, much more to say than just "oh my gosh, time flew by so quickly." That *is* a bad cliche, and anyone could say it. The lyrics of this song are more insightful and poignant than that bad cliche though.
I'm not here to argue about whether this song's lyrics are good or not though. I just posted a comment here to say that the overall meaning of this song is not one of "good vibes," *even if* much of the music has a pleasant ambience. If a song has a pleasant-sounding, soothing melody, but the lyrics are speaking of war, terror, and desperation, then to say that the song is a "good vibes" song is to either miss or ignore part of what the song's composer(s) intended to convey with it.
Yes, it isn't really a totally bleak outlook , but it emphasizes the missed opportunity element of our lives
I'm 57 years old. And I love watching you guys react JUST THE SAME WAY we did back then.
Pink Floyd = GENIUS.
57 here as well. Indeed, that is why I love these "reaction" videos. It is so great to see a whole new generation discovering and appreciating good music. What makes it even better is knowing what is coming; it is kind of like a parent watching a child discover the world.

@@jennifermcghee1495 good day for "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"
So cool to see that Amber really gets it. She didn't like it when you paused that sh¡t.
ok so get it blocked then 🤷♂️
I'm glad he paused it. I was afraid Amber was going to float away into oblivion. :)
@@breckrichardson390 We all survived it. :)
@@DJ-ov2it Pink Floyd doesn't block, afaik
Plenty of reactors don't ever pause. I've seen many Pink Floyd songs in reaction videos without any.
What’s amazing is that this was recorded 54 years ago
David Gilmore , Roger Waters , Richard Wright and Nick Mason True musicians through and through !
Gilmour
Its gilMOUR ffs!
It is necessary to realize that without Syd Barrett, this band would probably not have been formed at all! Other members are still aware of this and remember it many times in their work ("Wish You Were Here" or "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" ...).
@@lubos1207 Yes without Syd they would have been another has been of the 60s musical revolution as Roger said many times Pink Floyd could not have even started without Syd and after his musical demise could have not continued with him!! I mean Syd gave them the bands name and wrote all the songs an their first Album ('67) Piper at the gates of Dawn, so sad that Syd suffered bouts of Depression/ other mental illness and died a recluse at the age of 60 in relative poverty.
@@lubos1207 True enough
This song hits me. As the years go by, and for most of us from the 70's, 40 years have gone by.
Floyd is timeless.................
see on UA-cam at SATANISTS REACT TO PINK FLOYD thanks
Yeh pink Floyd dont rub it in, ffs lol absolute genius
70s kid. I just try to keep it young at heart. This song and Steeldrivers "Where Rainbows Never Die" are great "aging songs", if there is such a genre.
Imagine me, way in my 70s 73 to be correct. Had the album in 73 ,, isn’t it weird? ,, but don’t be sad youngsters, as long you are young in your heart, and brain, listen to some younger artists, it’s get you trough hard times. But can’t beat TIME!!!
I saw them just before the Meddle album was released, which they did a few songs from, and twice during the Dark Side Of The Moon tour and I can still see them in my mind's eye, truly amazing performers and lyricists.
Comfortably Numb is what most people will tell you is their top tier song but for me "Time" is even more of a masterpiece!!!! the lyrics, the guitar, Rick on keyboards and singing along with David....so AMAZING
I agree. It's quintessential Floyd - the concept, the lyrics, the beat...
Lyrics:
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
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
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
Thanks for posting them
The "Home, home again..." lyrics to the end here are actually from the reprise of the song "Breathe." I agree with the earlier comments that you need to listen to the whole album from the beginning to the end to get the full appreciation of "Dark Side of the Moon."
The only way to listen to Pink Floyd is as whole albums. Dark Side of The Moon is considered by many the greatest album ever made. It includes Time but the rest of the songs are equally amazing. You to should definitely do that album
Absolutely. Dark Side of the Moon was produced to be listened to as a whole, not just an album of singles. By listening to them one at a time you lose the transitions between songs and how they build on and relate to one another. There's nothing in this album that's accidental. It's not just an album, it's an experience.
It's really not the only way.
I agree.❤️✌️🌼
It I was ON THE BILLBOARDS TOP 200 FOR 950 , WEEKS OR 15 YEARS Ya its kinda OF A BIG ALBUM
@Rune Kristensen The question is not whether any Floyd song can stand alone they all could the question is which is the better way to listen to them and since Floyd albums are concept albums they are greatly improved by listening to the whole unit.No one would say that the first movement of Beethoven's fifth isn't worth listening to alone but there is no doubt that listening to the whole symphony improves the listen
I'll pay money to hear Amber listen to the whole album start to finish.
She’s just closing her eyes and ridin.
She gets it.
Until he pauses it again and again!!
Nothing, feels as good as closing your eyes riding it.
The lyrics guys...the LYRICS! Something you always want to make sure you hear in a Pink Floyd song. Google the lyrics to this...then revisit them every few years. This is deep, prophetic, an autobiography of the human condition. The apparent increase in the speed of time as years pass is a common experience we all share...and this song speaks of it brilliantly!
Absolutely!
Yes, I always wish reactors react to the video version with lyrics.
This is so true for all of their music. Dont miss the message, its really half the experience
💯%.
Dave is a guitar god, but I also think he is such an underrated singer.
Such a sweet voice. I don't know where to love him for singing or his guitar play. He is great.
beautiful voice and beautiful person
the range he has is amazing, listening to this song and then young lust and being told it’s the same dude…
You guys will find that as you get older this song becomes more and more relevant. I've been listening to this song for forty years and it still hits home
I AM 67 AND ITS BEEN 50 YEARS FOR ME. YES YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE LIVING IT. I HAVE BEEN CHEATING DEATH FOR 10 YEARS.
@@hoodatdare7039 I'm 10 behind Ya
I'm 69 and still rocking to Pink Floyd.. rock on!
@@hoodatdare7039 just turned 72 and saw them twice. got high first time in 1973 listening to them.
100% agree. 62. Shorter of breath, and definitely one day closer to death. No regrets, and Floyd is a big part of that.
Y'all need to go out, buy a copy of the MOVIE, Pink Floyd The Wall, put the kids to bed, get your favorite beverage handy and just watch/listen to that whole thing from start to finish. You WILL be SHOOK! The movie is acoustically and visually stunning as well as mind bending! PEACE!!!!!
200% correct! Prime adult Entertainment
Abso Bloody Lootly!
I can never watch that again. Don't do acid, kids. And if you do, don't watch The Wall.
Also hella depressing
Kids shouldn't even be home 😂 but it can take a rewatch or two to fully understand the symbolism, definitely be in a good frame of mind, it can be deeply triggering during a depressed phase. I think you guys would love it tho.
The older you get the more you will appreciate these lyrics. I grew up with this in high school(30 years ago), and now fully understand the words.
Floyd has music that you absolutely feel, rather than just listen to. They allow the music to breathe and don’t feel rushed to come immediately with lyrics but when the lyrics come in they are super powerful! The entire Animals album is one of my favorites! But.... I can’t think of a song on any album that I don’t like some aspect of. Shine on you crazy diamond is an amazing masterpiece dedicated to a former band member with mental illness. It touches the soul! Every Floyd fan needs to hear the entire album The Wall and there’s also a movie. There’s soooo much Pink Floyd to do though! They do tend to write albums as an entire concept piece so you may get a better understanding of the whole album if you listen in order.
☝️
i don't remember who originally made the comment, but someone posted that you could be perfectly sober when you start listening to a Pink Floyd song and come out the other side feeling like you just came down off of some form a psychedelic drug.
@@blinkin304 yeah like being in LSD
The one thing you can't do is just listen to one track at a time... to experience it you have to listen to the entire album which tells the story!
Amber has a great habit of kinda rolling her eyes when she really feels the track, it's super endearing...
I do this too. I call it the music or eargasm. Makes your ears and soul feel a certain way
"Wish you were here" is still one of my top 2 favorite songs throughout my life. But it brings tears to my eyes so i cant listen to it any more.
Gods, yes. Wish You Were Here hits harder each year as I get older
Amber has the richt mindset to listen to this music. When you listen to a PinkFloyd song, at the end you always have to check what year you're in. And btw you never stop a Pink Floyd halfway.
TIME Was the sound of the 70s BIG TIME ,,
There are no rules🙄its their reaction
They have to stop it so it doesn't get blocked
Speaking of Time:
"DARK SIDE OF THE MOON"
IS IN MY TOP10 OF MOST ICONIC ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!
It is properly appreciated in its intended Order from Start to Finish.
That would be epic to see you two react to the entire MASTERPIECE in one insatiable sitting!
🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁
Yes, its a cultural experience to hear DSOTM as an album, straight through, sitting in your comfy chair…
pink floyd is its own music category
Dark Side of the Moon is really one cohesive piece of music. Like an opera or a symphony. You gotta listen to the whole LP front to back in one sitting. It seems to be rite of passage for American suburban white kids from the 80's to smoke weed and listen to DSOTM in the dark with headphones. The reason you recognized the clocks at the beginning as being the end of the song before it.
Absolutely. It is one of those themed albums that starts telling a story with the first song and finishes with the last song
As a 51 year old white suburban dude, I can attest to the rite of passage, I have listened to this album stoned out of my mind far too many times to count...
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON CAME OUT IN 1973 ,,, 7 years from the 80s , Dark side of the moon ,,, It WAS a very popular LP from the 70s , Just as popular as THRLLER From the 80s ,, EASY
@@theodoreritola9758 did I say anything about when it came out? KIDS from the 80's were TODDLERS in 1973 if they were even born yet. Not old enough to engage in a weed-induced rite of passage. I was talking about kids in the 80's listening to it stoned. Which was a thing. In the 80's. When the record came out is utterly irrelevant to my point. Maybe learn to read before CAPS LOCK correcting things no one said. . And no it was not as "popular as Thriller." In February of 1984 (almost immediately after it's release) Thriller became the best selling record in history and stayed that way.
Pink floyd aren't even american so I dont see how it's just an Americans rite of passage but I mostly agree... every human should listen to DSOTM, The wall and Animals from beginning to end. It's not just music, it's a life lesson.
If you closed your eyes on this one try 13 minutes of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”
Try over 20 minutes of echoes 😂
That guitar solo is magic, I never get sick of hearing this song.
The guitar solo is probably one of the greatest that I’ve ever heard
This is the number one album of all time (time ha) for a reason. I wish nothing more than for Amber to be able to listen to Dark Side of the Moon in its' entirety, as it is meant to be. The look on her face - beautiful.
Actually, Thriller bumped it to number two somewhere along the line. Still, your point remains.
@@djm0111 I mean, Thriller is pretty deserving lol
All the tracks on this album flow seamlessly into the next, that's why they seem to end like they were cut, when you listen to them in isolation. This track especially, needs to be heard with it's immediate follow up "The Great Gig In The Sky" This track is about Time /life going quickly, the Great Gig is about the stages of facing dying; either personally or a loved one.
The Dark Side Of The Moon is, to me, the best Pink Floyd album. It covers so much of what affects us in life. Time ticks off the seconds with a drum beat and also you hear the metronome which gives music precision. A disc jockey on the radio said all the clocks were recorded in a clock shop in London, England, pretty neat history of this song! The entire album is fantastic and a must listen to with headphones 🎧 on! Pink Floyd is a band that is totally unique and very different. Beautiful album to hear in entirety, the pauses between songs is there but very small. You can hear the breaks between each songs with the aid of headphones more so, listen to the whole album if you get the time. You won't be disappointed!!!
So many late nights in the basement on the floor in front of my stereo chillin' with this album on my headphones. The sweet smell of leaf in the air, not a worry, not a care.
Oh my God picture it teenager in the 70s at a house party. THE room is dark and smokey and all of a sudden this album plays for the very first time!!!!! I still remember it and im 61!! Again, how lucky were we????✌❤
@@donnagonatas3155 listen on UA-cam at SATANISTS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
So glad you decided to do this one. This is a song you have to come back to throughout your life. As you get older, it will change, become deeper and more meaningful. I'm at an age where it's hard to listen to it without weeping now. Time gets away from you and there is no getting it back. "The time is gone, the song is over - thought I'd something more to say." I want that on my tombstone.
This song hits me the same way. I sing-along at full volume and I feel myself choke up on the words at points. Just grabbed you by the heart and especially now that I’m almost 50.

"Money" should be next, a little more upbeat song but still with a message.
money comes after the great gig in the sky..... not TIME
@@donaldsasser9103Oh you, you comedian you
@@bamachine bruh what?
@@sidanic6684 Which post are you questioning? If the original, then they were talking about how mellow Pink Floyd songs are and Money is harder rock but still has a message just like their slower, mellow tunes. If you meant my reply to Donald, it was faux outrage at his dad joke about the track list order on DSOTM.
Gilmor can wring more emotion out one extended note than the rest of the metal shred merchants put together.
Back when this was only a couple of years out a friend of mine told me she didn’t like Pink Floyd. Thought that was odd, so I asked. She said the “notes were too long”.
I just commented to watch the fender birthday celebrations with Gilmour performing Marooned live.
Amen.
As someone who has been playing for almost 60 years, I am perpetually amazed at how incredibly talented he is and the emotion he can pull from his fingers.
It's even more powerful when you learn that the band were 30 and under when they created this masterpiece!
As with most songs, Pink Floyd is asking you to explore and uncover the nature of your existence.
This is something many should realise they should do before they turn 13, let alone 30. We don’t know what we are, how we exist, or how any of it exists, but we go about acting in the world. This is reckless.
We think we have all the time in the world (intellectually we know we don’t, but experientially we are clueless) to the point that we can feel more than 0 moments of stress and fear, to the point we can waste time being angry, to the point we see any meaning to getting a job/earning money beyond survival (which can easily be done without a penny).
All our lives, we go outwards in exploration. It’s never occurred to most to go within - the only place every single experience exists. It is impossible for anybody to experience anything anywhere but from within.
and remember they wrote echoes before this.
@@theawesome1rjc As time goes by, you can almost feel like there's bound to be some religious revival, I hope it can impart this bit of knowledge upon humanity. shine on brother.
Directly following Time is a solo performed by one of the background singers that is absolutely LEGENDARY!
Back in the day there were albums released that were more than just a bunch of song tracks, they were "concept" albums where the musicians allowed themselves to play and explore and create something new or different, and then put it out there for the rest of us to follow their journey. I know a lot of folks would do drugs while listening, but that just wasn't my thing. I would just go into our basement (rec room) put on the earphones, dim the lights, and drop the the needle, expecting to do nothing but immerse myself in the sounds for the next hour or so. --- Good stuff Maynard!!
The first time I heard DSOTM I was very much under the influence, and not alcohol, and I was totally blown away.
That’s was late 70s early 80s maybe. On the way back from my friends house the following morning I bought the album and have listened to it ever since. And you’re absolutely correct, that was a long time ago, and you certainly don’t need drugs to get/understand/enjoy it. But I do like to set a scene similar to yours, lay down, get comfy, lights out, headphones on and no distractions. It still blows me away to this day.

I came home from high school, circa 1975, and my Das was in my bedroom with headphones on listening to Pink and YES! 😲😀🤣
Our science museum had a theater that was domed and it was like sitting under the stars on Friday and Saturday night you could go and watch laser lights to whole Dark side of the moon album! My first time doing laser light I was 9 and 20years later I took my 9 year old sone!
You have to listen to the whole album from start to finish!
I bought Dark Side when it came out but somehow Amber’s love of it has reawakened my appreciation of how brilliant it actually is. And for that I thank both of them. Shine on you crazy diamond.
I love to watch what Gilmours riffs and solos do to people's soul. He was a master of feel and dissonance
He still is!
when has he ever used dissonance
Just proves. Soul and emotion are more important in guitar playing than a million notes a second bullshit shredding
Dissonance? This is Duane Eddy!
Y'all have to hear The Great Gig In The Sky.
POWERFUL vocals.
Floyd takes you on a journey. No sharp edges. Pure, smooth flight.
When he sings “The time has come. The song is over. Thought I’d something more to say”, he’s talking about dying. The next song on the album “Great Gig in the Sky” deals with the stages of anticipating the end, from denial to acceptance. Beautiful song if you haven’t listen too it yet! “Time” is a masterpiece within a masterpiece!
see on UA-cam at SATANISTS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
Pink Floyd one of a kind band. Back in the 70s we used to call it "space" music. Probably because everyone was spaced out in the 70s and that music just melted you. Speaking of another great song from 1970 react to Edgar and Johnny Winters version of tobacco road live from 1970, you'll love it and I'm anxiously awaiting
My favorite lyrics are in this tune " hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way " .
Check out “‘Great Gig in the Sky” from this album! 🙏🏻 Will amaze you both 🔥🎶🔥
Pink Floyd is known for their long intros (and outros, too) Yes, we get you, Amber!
Pink Floyd doesn’t block 🤗 And they’re my favorite band, too.
Guys! For female Friday, Pink Floyd - The great gig in the sky. It's a song about death and dying. (Throwing this out there so that you can understand before it hits you).
I second this. One of the most amazing female vocal performances ever.
Absolutely a must for female Friday. Although Claire Torry didn't receive the credit she should have initially. It's amazing.
I found Floyd at 16 years old, and with them I found myself and a friend I never new I was missing
You need to listen to the entire Dark Side of the Moon album in one sitting, no breaks. Each song leads into the next with no breaks, and it is a true aural experience. Time leads into The Great Gig in the Sky, which is one of the most amazing pieces of music you will ever hear IMO.
Too bad you didn't continue with the next track as a continuation of this song, it's Great Gig in the Sky so yes do the whole album!!!!
I've seen them all from that era and NOTHING is like a Pink Floyd concert. Zep, Queen, Allman Bros., Dead, Stones, name it...none of them
compare to The Floyd. They're simply mesmerizing.
Got to see them in the 80s. Post Roger Waters. But still phenomenal.
All of them are musicians
Floyds were artists
She so GETS it! She totally vibes out! It’s so enjoyable to watch. This song has been in my life as long as I can remember thanks to my 8 years older brother. What I wouldn’t give to be able to hear it for the first time.
Out of all the album of music ever created, Dark Side of the Moon is the Album that you must listen to from start to finish to feel it. It is a Pink Floyd album. It has the record for most consecutive weeks on Billboard’s top 100 albums for over 700 weeks straight, around 14 years. It is a masterpiece. There is a funny saying that surrounds it though. “It is the greatest album of all time, but it isn’t even the best Pink Floyd album.”
We old folks had the best music ever ,still listen today David Gilmore on guitar ❤❤❤❤
"Wish You Were Here" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" are must listen to songs, and I will pitch my favorite Pink Floyd song "Fearless" ...it is really hard to go wrong with Pink Floyd. Enjoy!
The tracks on 'Dark side' segue into one another in a sequence, so although you have a journey within each song, the whole album is a journey in itself meant to be listened to in order and in one uninterrupted sitting. Yup, I know, not completely possible without getting blocked, and Floyd's publishers are super tough on copyright issues. The full album experience is what's needed though, otherwise it's like looking at separated petals of a flower, seeing that they're beautiful, but not seeing the entire flower.
Love the petal/whole flower analogy 👍. Absolutely spot on man
Amber, when I was 19 (I am now 55) I first listened to Pink Floyd and I was suddenly trapped within the amazing power of the music and the words. As I grew older I never lost my love for this band and each time I listen to them I am transported. It is a ‘trip’ and it never gets old. As I see you both discover them and enjoy them I am so happy that they still speak to people. This band is unique and will be remembered in history. Thank you for sharing your reaction. It is a blessing 😊
You should totally listen to this entire album uninterrupted. "Great Gig in the Sky" will give you chills and move you to tears. You should also check out "On The Turning Away" - haunting and mesmerizing.
Yeah, Great Gig always brings tears to my eyes, even more so now in my fifties with the number of people I lost.
I love how differently you two react. Homeboy is rocking out and homegirl is just swaying to it
The whole album... would be a great reaction. Floyd, when they did concept albums they were masters at using the music to grab you, and put you where they want you , feeling what they want you to feel, when they want you to feel it . It's mesmerizing, life changing, and always will be. Once you get it, you can't shake it away.
I have enjoyed songs by Pink Floyd for so long now, they have become so familiar and part of my life. Seeing young people listening to these great songs now it takes me back to when I first heard them, and hope they appreciate them as much as I have.
Ahhhh. Always a great song to listen to. Glad you’re wearing headphones. So much of our (old) music just makes one feel so good. We love you guys too!
I'm 56, but as a child, I'd turn the lights out at 8yrs old and listen to Pink Floyd in the complete darkness.
Cool 🍄🇬🇧🍄
100%.
I’ve been a Floyd fan for sooooo long, I can’t imagine my life without them. *great pick*
There are some albums that have left an important mark in the history of music. This is one of those.
That first guitar riff, when the best changes from the clocks to the actual song, kicking around on a old piece of your hometown...hits home hard
Yes, you must listen to the whole album in one sitting. The songs all flow together with no defined breaks. For me it is the best album ever recorded.
The album was made to be played on an 8track tape that has no beginning and no end just loops all together.
"Us and Then" next from the same record-breaking album 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Or do the whole thing from the beginning even better!! You should know that all tracks run into each other... Hardly no breaks in-between. Suggestion, if you're going to pause, back it up a few clicks afterwards so as not to ruin the flow. Also, single tracks of Pink Floyd hardly ever get blocked on here. So don't over concern yourself with that. Enjoy the ride!!
This album is most of the reason I learned to play the guitar. It also syncs nicely to "The Wizard of Oz".
There is a reason that as of May 2020 the Darkside of the moon LP has racked up 950 weeks on the billboard 200
When I graduated high school, this album had been on the charts for 11 years straight.. and it kept going!
Or another way to say it 15 YEARS ... Thats Wright 15 Years From 1973 , Love the 70s
Definitely a masterpiece. Time flies kids, take it from this old lady.
Damn, good advice from a Karen (Bet you haven't heard that before)
I had to go back & watch more of your Pink Floyd videos. Especially Great Gig In the Sky. Thanks for listening to my generation music. They put on the best concert I've ever seen.
I am a Floyd fan since way back...In high school in the 70’s.. we would be “a little high”.
Me, too!
If you want to experience Emotion with no lyrics " The Great Gig in the Sky" is a must
That doesn't keep my eyes dry. This album is an emotional trip, that gets under the skin.
Great Gig is quietly my favorite track on the record. Time would be #2 followed very closely by Money. But it's not fair to rate tracks on what is really a 50 minute experience of one WHOLE.
A lot of bands liked telling a story through the entire album. The Wall is another exceptional example.
Definitely go for Pink Floyd "Dogs" next, from the 1977 album Animals (After Dark Side of the Moon ('73) & Wish You Were Here ('75), but before The Wall ('79))... It's longer, but it also showcases, in my opinion, each band member at the top of their game.
One of the greatest prog-rock psychedelic bands in the rock scene, along with Rush and Yes. So many awesome songs and amazing albums, top three albums would be Animals, Wish You Were Here, and Darkside of the Moon. Comfortably numb is on The Wall album and Time is on the Darkside of the Moon. Oh yeah, David Gilmore is one of the greatest soul seeking and soul searching guitarists on the planet next to Gary Moore
We had Wish You Were Here at our Sons Funeral he loved playing that song on his guitar
@@lisaray9944 sorry for your loss I can understand why it is a gorgeous song it’s one of my favorite as well
I have been listening to this for over 40 years and I really love the justice you all gave to Time. Great listening with you both!
1. I love your guys’ channel!
2. comfortably numb and time are from two different albums. time is from dark side of the moon, comfortably numb is from the wall.
3. I definitely recommend listening to the entire dark side of the moon album in one sitting, it’s like one huge song that narrates from birth to death
This song always hits me. Everytime I come across old photos of my kids when they were toddlers the line always rings in my ear “Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time, plans that either come to nought, or half a page of scribbled lines”
Pink Floyd a Journey!!Many Have Made!!Their culture is who has and who doesn't Have! Pure and simple
Yeah, you really should listen to this album straight through, or one "side" at a time, since the songs are (almost) all connected. I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am really looking forward to your reaction to Great Gig in the Sky; that's going to be awesome...
You guys should do a viewer special and watch the wall movie straight through or listen to Dark Side of the Moon straight through. It would be a long video, maybe you can break it into parts, but both ideas would be amazing for everybody! The important thing, if you break it up, is that you record it all at once to get the full experience,
YES!!
Indeed
Even if they don't react to the entire LP, they need to listen to it straight through.
I am SO happy and glad you are discovering the heartbeat of my youth.
Now you should go dank-mode with "Sheep" from their Animals album.
The whole animals album 💿. But that would be a long video.
OK, if this was the case, "The great gig in the sky" is going to make your brains literally explode. lol
I was able to experience the Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon at the Tropic Cinema in Key West a few years ago. There are no words to describe the feeling. ❤
A masterpiece! Next try Wish You Were Here or Pigs on the Wing
I'm guessing you're thinking of "Pigs (3 different ones)" as opposed to the short acoustic "Pigs on the Wing" parts 1 and 2 that were served as bookend into/outro's to the same album.
