For a song all about communication I love the end with the voice box. Gilmour is famous for how he can wring so much emotion from his guitar, it’s how he truly expresses himself, so to end the song with his voice and guitar becoming one is utterly beautiful and emotional for me. For me, the lyrics refer to a personal inability to express yourself, in my case it speaks of my own social anxiety. I would rather “sit in a corner, so no one will bother me” than put myself front and centre in social situations.
The talk box was primarily brought to public attention by Peter Frampton in the 70s. Songs like Do You Feel Like We Do and Show Me The Way are prime examples.
That tube David uses is called Talk Box. It is a device that has a piezoelectric capsule that is inserted into the mouth (I advise each guitar player to have his own. It is very unhygienic), which is connected to a pedal or amplifier, and by which the sound of a guitar is modulated and distorted by the voice. It is not David Gilmour's voice itself, but the sound of his guitar being modulated by his voice.
Hawking was a great example of the accomplishments of the left brain as Gilmour is to the accomplishments of the right brain. Perhaps when two such men collaborate we should pay attention to their message.
So the sound from his guitar is playing through that plastic tube, where it echoes inside the player’s mouth, then the sound is picked up by the vocal mic... so not only can Dave play a note and bend the string with his left hand(to change the pitch), but he can then also “bend” the note with his mouth to give it even more emotion. IMO nobody can squeeze more emotion out of a single note or chord then David Gilmour can.
U both should watch the pulse dvd in its entirety. It’s impressive. I adore you both. Ur reactions are sincere and authentic. Thank you peace ✌️ from US of A
If I'm repeating someone else, I apologise but the actual video footage from the 'Pulse' show is available on youtube, worth watching. Once again a great reaction , thank you. May I suggest 'Learning to Fly or On the Turning Away' studio versions, two of Pink Floyds finest but underrated tracks.
A truly prophetic song. Nearly all of the problems in this world could be solved, if people just acted like adults and talked. Oh, and a sad thing about this video, one of the three female vocalists, Claudia Fontaine, died March 13th 2018........one day before Stephen Hawking, also featured in this song :( And the 'mouth machine' is a Talk Box. I'll quote Wiki "A talk box is an effects unit that allows musicians to modify the sound of a musical instrument by shaping the frequency content of the sound and to apply speech sounds (in the same way as singing) onto the sounds of the instrument. Typically, a talk box directs sound from the instrument into the musician's mouth by means of a plastic tube adjacent to their vocal microphone. The musician controls the modification of the instrument's sound by changing the shape of the mouth, "vocalizing" the instrument's output into a microphone" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_box
Wow! Thank you both so much! Haha, I loved your attempts at creating 'that' sound haha. This is a special song. The meaning behind it is very close to me.... I feel it's about never letting yourself be alone, even when life is hard, never give up and keep talking when you can. Without communication, we are losing what makes us human. Stephen Hawking actually provided the vocal parts.
Keep Talking and Wearing The Inside Out are songs from The Division Bell; the central theme of that album is (lack of) communication. Please react to more songs from Pulse, all of them are amazing. My favourite is High Hopes, it's magical. But make sure you react to a 60 fps version (so search for "High Hopes Live Pulse 60fps"), because all the regular uploads have poor audio quality.
The album version is much better than the live version. Give it a listen (and maybe review it too)... I think you will like it better than the live version.
Pink Floyd is ALWAYS a journey of the mind!

You said it perfectly man.
Your reactions are second to none and it makes me feel so happy when I see you get so much joy out of the music I love.
I feel the same. Pink Floyd have been my favourite for 30 years.

Glad you enjoy Pink Floyd as much as I do........David Gilmore has such a clean sound

Wonderful song, one of the best tracks from the Division Bell album. Great live too!
Love your smile, PF seems to do that to people, Namaste
Gilmore used a thing called a B box in Keep Talking
It is a tube that he puts in his mouth and uses it as an extension to the guitar. Wonderfull
U both should watch the pulse dvd in its entirety. It’s impressive. I adore you both. Ur reactions are sincere and authentic. Thank you peace ✌️ from US of A
Thank you for the reaction I am glad you liked it and got to post it I hope your channel continues to grow and do well.
Steven Hawking was the narration voice.
Yes but THE S.H. was only interested about universe, not talking :D
Awesome song great reaction guys! Great song choice Mark and his son.
Wow! I love your beautiful thick hair!! A woman with beautiful, thick well taken care of hair says a lot about a woman. Let it grow girl!!!

So glad you listened and reacted to this one! Always enjoy hearing your analysis and thoughts.
The video is available on UA-cam. You could see how it’s done. Thank you for another great Pink Floyd reaction. I love you guys !

The talk box use the single from the guitar. Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton use this well.

@@swinetrek It's my second favourite version, after Pulse. Yes, it's great. Gdansk is a close third.
Division bell is such a great but underrated album of PF. High hopes should be next pleased.
'echoes'
He used a talk box
Hey kids...think Pigs for that vocal/mechanical experience but better mastered in the studio for Animals.
The album version is much better than the live version. Give it a listen (and maybe review it too)... I think you will like it better than the live version.
P.U.L.S.E. is the best album ever. But mine needs new battery. I don't find my way to living room in the dark without that pulsing red led.
Why aren't you watching the video of the live performance itself? It's VERY impressive.
It wasn't allowed for reactions in India. We did watch the LIVE performance but were forced to post only the audio of it. CHEERS.
