This is my favorite Pink Floyd song because it came out while I was in boot camp and having new Pink Floyd waiting for me after boot camp was AWESOME !
The young Native American was seen tolling in the fields doing hard labor. Cutting wheat at harvest. An older Native American (possible Shaman) is seen in brief moments in the video, seemingly a spirt guide to the young lad. The hang glider passes over head, having a huge influence of freedom. Soon he is seen on top a small mountain, shedding his jacket & literally arming himself w/a pair of feathers as wings. To be fee from being a quote 'earthbound misfit, I". A big screen & surround sound really brings this vid to life. When it was new, it really was special in its quality & clarity.
David Gilmore (lead singer and lead guitarist in Pink Floyd) said in an interview that he was inspired to write this song to describe the sensations he got while learning to fly an airplane. The video is a way of expressing that. The song and video are both very beautiful, but the video can be distracting. I think you might have gotten more out of watching a live performance of this song.
The song has two ways to interpret. A positive.. understanding change and moving forward "learning to fly". A negative... not to embracing change and ending yourself out of fear.
Hi Maddy, you have been missed! A reaction from you is the perfect way to start the month of May! Pink Floyd is an endless rabbit hole of outstanding musical excellence. I would recommend anything off the Animals studio album, some of David Gilmours's best solos.There are a few videos online, but the quality isn't that good. Keep smiling, beautiful! ✌️☮️🎸🎶🎼🎵❤️
David was an avid pilot with multiple licenses and classic planes he flew,. The song is about what flying is to him and his love for it. Both he and Nick Mason learned to fly.
Smooth PF jam. I see that his spirit was yearning to fly but he was stuck in the grind chopping wheat. I think they were saying we all inherently know but learning to just do it. Or he turned into a bird, either or that’s cool too😊
David Gilmour and Nick Mason got their pilots licenses and quite literally learned to fly.....the song is based on that. The pilot/control tower gibberish you hear in the middle of the song is Nick coming in for a landing.
Thank you for this review. Indeed their songs of 70s are a good staff, although now it is hard to listen any their song involving their former bass player who moved to the evil side supporting ruzzian murderers and spreading disinformation. My favorite Pink Floyd album - "Division Bell", lyrics, music, tones, band members, everything of that album )
Yep. But PULSE contains modified guitar parts, worse than original. Improvisation is a great thing (like at Montreux 2010 Gary Moore) but sometimes little changes ruin the artwork. Like little changes done by Metallica in Nothing Else Matters.

Now....from what i have heard, this song was about david gilmour (guitar) & nick mason's (keyboards) fear of flying, so, in the mid 80's they both beat that fear by going to flight school & getting pilot's liscences, which if u listen, makes sense lyrically...but, my main point is...good lord this is just one of those 80's 90's music videos where there is way too much going on & its all muddied, & it just throws the young reactors...it distracts from the music...as noble an attempt as the video is to communicate whatever it was they were trying to communucate.

Its barley not wheat
@@wi_ha5618 And its still not a good as meat.
Beauitful song Beauitul reaction from a Beauitful young lady.
One of my favorites from that album, along with One Slip and On The Turning Away. I think you'll like both of those, too.

This is a great song with a lot of feeling behind it.
Brings back memories. Thank you beautiful.
“Sorrow” is my favorite Pink Floyd song 👍👍
My favorite PinkFloyd song is the one i get to listen with you. Cheera from a finn in Sweden.❤
The song has two ways to interpret. A positive.. understanding change and moving forward "learning to fly". A negative... not to embracing change and ending yourself out of fear.
Now THIS is an official Pink Floyd video.
You can always count on David Gilmour for some awesome guitar 🎸 work !
Live PULSE CONCERT Version of this Song is also worth watching. 🇦🇺
Sorry but, the DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER is really the greatest version ever.
I saw them on this Tour.........A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album touring cycle.
Gilmour had been taking flying lessons when he wrote the song. Actually learning to fly.
Apparently it was a pretty powerful experience for him.
Oh, wow....ive been on a floyd reaction kick lately...so glad u did this...awesome: D
Thank You!!!

Animals is a sad album. Very orwellian, when the creator depicted his own future degradation.
One of my favorites.
This is what i grew up with you are missing so much great music

I like this song and you Maddy.
Definitely should have watched the pulse concert version Maddy.
✌❤🇬🇧

Yes, great jam. Having a distinct taste of 80s. "Yet another movie" has got the similar tones, mood.
David Gilmour and Nick Mason got their pilots licenses and quite literally learned to fly.....the song is based on that. The pilot/control tower gibberish you hear in the middle of the song is Nick coming in for a landing.
Nice reaction Maddy ❤
Love it!!!
hey Maddy, mythical and fantastic band. I suggest, an old song from the 60s, Tom Jones: “I will never fall in love again” you will be moved 😉
This song is actually about flying. Some of the spoken words in the middle of the song are the pre-takeoff checklist. Mixture rich...flaps set...
No drones back then. This was shot on high quality film near 40 years ago.
No drones, no CGI, just old good film illusion )
I've watched this three times now, and still haven't heard what song this is. Damn Maddy is dangerously hot!
Learning To Fly
Native American spiritualism
Kudos for not listening to the live version first. This studio version is far superior.
The radio chatter you hear in the middle of this song is actually David Gilmore talking with the tower
Listen to High Hopes from the pulse concert
"echoes live Gdansk" a must
❤❤❤
David Gilmore is a licensed pilot. He loves to fly. The song is nothing more than him describing the sensation of flight.
Epic Pink

NOW.... VIEW the PULSE CONCERT version. The percussionist is having a joyous "Workout"
Gary Wallis...workout 😉
Nick Mason 🥁🔝🔝🔝

This song is probably older than she is and it's newer stuff.
Pink Floyd - superlative.
Some think Learning to Fly is about trying to move on as a group without Roger Walters, this sounds reasonable to me.
that guy needs to sharpen his scythe
some Carlos Castaneda here
Please check out SORROW live at the PULSE CONCERT.
Hello Maddy
Nothing to do with the reaction but I have to say you have the nicest skin I have ever seen... OK back to the video now 🤣
It's not really that new, it came out in 1987, on the "Momentary Lapse of Reason" album.
Please consider reacting to WWE
Great song by itself, but the directors vision seems to tell a different story to the song, which I find distracting.
I dunno what he means and im old.
Lotsa old music way back just sounds cheesy now, all that 80s sound.
Mid 80 s
Will someone please buy Maddy a different dress to wear???
Hey now
I will offer to buy her one...but I doubt she'd wear what I pick
@@jaypea468 I was hoping for two bottle caps and a Band-Aid.
