Should the PULSE Version be next?... And thank you all for all of the Pink Floyd knowledge! We're loving this journey. What should be the 3rd song we listen too?
Top Tip, back in the 70's we would by the vinyl album and hear it for the first time, but the album sleeve has the lyrics so if we wanted to, we could always read what was being sung. So if you want that same experience just pull the lyrics up on your phone 😉
Guys for first Pink Floyd listeners you did great job. I heard this album for the first time more than 30 years ago and when I was younger I didn’t put so much attention to this, but now the last part of the song gives me chills because between the cold and fire 🔥 you only got just PAIN and many of us start getting obsessed counting the time backwards.🤟🤟🤟👍👍 Keep it up
Do the whole album and put at least two songs back to back in order of the appearance till you get to the end this will show why near all Pink Floyds albums are a story being told that runs from one song to the Next all the way through the album Pulse is great but only Claire Torry does The Great gig in the Sky the best. @and a half takes and she was originally paid 30 pounds studio session fee then later found out they have used her vocals for the album. When you are 1 a year is 100% of your life when you get to 50 a year is only 2% of your life
They wrote these lyrics in 1973 when they were in their Mid Twenties. At 70 in London and as someone who attended their debut tour of this album in Earls Court, West London with 18,000 others in 1973,I can confirm that the last 51 years has flown by. If you want a life tip. AVOID PHYSICAL WORK and you should have far less aches and pains as you age.
As someone who has been a fan of this album since its release in 1973, I always have to urge new Pink Floyd listeners to react to this ENTIRE album in ONE sitting!!! Dark Side of the Moon was made to be listened to in its entirety, from first track to last, without stopping!! The transitions between songs are so seamless that you will not even realize that you're on to the next song when you are listening!! For example the transition from the end of THIS song into the NEXT song is practically seamless and the next song on the album, called The Great Gig in the Sky, features one of the most incredible vocalists and vocal performances that you will ever hear in your life!!! ❤❤❤ Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole!!!
We were so fortunate back in the day to be able to buy the album at the record shop, take it home, and listen to it from start to finish. So many of the albums of that time in my life were listened to this way. What a great time it was for music.
That is the message to put out. One does not read selected chapters in a book, one starts at the beginning and reads to the end. Saw this tour back in '75 at Milwaukee county stadium - amazing! Cheers....
@@bazzer124 I also saw Pink Floyd in the summer of '75 at Roosevelt stadium in Jersey City New Jersey!! I had dropped a hit of acid and coincidentally the song Echoes began as I was peeking on my trip!! Unless I get Alzheimer's or something that affects my memory, I will NEVER forget that experience!!!
There is no ‘best song on the album’, there is only ‘the album’. It’s one song. And it’s arguably the best piece of emotive music ever committed to vinyl.
I am 60, been a PF fan since back in the '70s. There is an undeniable truth in this song. When I was young, I was indestructible and life was going to go on forever. I was a soldier, an athlete, a distance runner, and martial arts instructor. Today, time has revealed a new reality for me. Too many health issues to list and my own impending mortality is ever in my face. Very few regrets... God has given me many blessings throughout my life, and Pink Floyd's music is among those. If God grants me one CD in Heaven, it will be Pink Floyd. If not, you know what I'll be humming up there.
When you're young, there seems to be all the time in the world. The older you get, the faster it seems to go, and before you know it, you're old. A depressing reality, but an awesome song!
@@stevetheduck1425 Yep. I turned 8 years old when this came out, though I didn't hear it for the first time until I was about 12 or so. Kind of wish I'd of paid more attention to the lyrics then. lol
22 year old here and all i can say is that this song i cant even imagine how good it’ll be when im older . because the lyrics will hit differently compared to know.
Enjoy young man! I bought my first cassette tape of Floyd's momentary lapse of reason back in 1988 when I was in high school. Once hooked, I explored more of their older material. At 52, I consider this the 🐐
As you grow older, the more you listen to this song, it will take on new meaning. When you hear this song, ten, twenty years from now, different lyrics will hit you in the feels.
Interesting note is that Guinness Book of World's Records awarded Pink Floyd for their Dark Side of the Moon being on Billboards' Top 200 for over 700 weeks from 1973 to 1988. Today, this album is still on some other charts.
Want it to be longer? It is. I mean the whole album is a concept album, with the songs blending into one long experience. But specifically this song merges with the next, thematically. I consider them one song. This song is a narrative journey through time. I think the bells and clocks are birth. The metronome sound and drum solo are childhood. Then young adulthood is the first verse, trying to figure out their path but missing it. The next verse is middle age, trying to catch up in the rat race of life. The last verse goes to retirement, aging and finally death. “The tolling of the iron bell, calls the faithful to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic spell” is a funeral. He dies, so how does this theme move into the next song? It is called The Great Gig in the Sky. It is the after life. It goes with Time. For me, you don’t listen to one without the next. I highly recommend listening to The Great Gig in the Sky. It will blow you away with how beautiful it is. But I’d really recommend relistening to Time with this explanation in mind, and letting it flow into The Great Gig in the Sky, for the real impact.
The thing is, the whole album is one musical masterpiece, and is meant to be listened to as a singular piece of music. So when you say you feel like it was too short, it’s because you listened to it as a stand alone piece. There is a segue from one piece to the next. All of their best albums are like that. You need to hear Shine on You Crazy Diamond (alllll parts!), live and pulse, all of Dark Side of the Moon, all of Animals, all of The Wall, and all of the album Wish You Were Here.
The entire album "The Dark Side of the Moon" was played by Pink Floyd at the Pulse concert in 1994. And even in the exact order of the studio recording. By the way, "Time" is followed by the stunning "The Great Gig in the Sky" - don't miss it. After all, I think if you watch the entire Pulse concert in sequence, you'll be blown away - it's a tour for the then-new album The Division Bell but at the same time it's a great cross-section of the best Pink Floyd had played (except perhaps Echoes).
You really just HYPED us up by saying they do the whole concert at pulse. Reacting to our first Pink Floyd song "comfortably numb" was at Pulse and I've never had chills like that in my life. We're definitely gonna have to do more pulse concert songs! Thank you!
@@AndyandLizTV Please, do the studio version of The Great Gig in the Sky with Clare Torry before any live version. She walked into the studio and completely improvised the song in 2 takes. She started a 3rd and stopped because she felt the first 2 takes were better. Many live performances are good, just not quite up to the level of Clare's.
I love that the message of this song is: time is running out, yet they also spend the first half of the song wasting time with the intro. They just don't play fair. They transcend time, and genre.
This album is amazing as a whole…you guys should do that to understand the concept of the music. I felt in love with their music as a teenager in the early 70’s , and is the ultimate band for me
Time waits for no one. An epic song with heartfelt lyrics sung by David Gilmore and Richard Wright. Try 'Us and Them' it will also blow you away. Enjoy.
@@carlosquezada4547 But Alan Parsons did an extraordinary job on this album, in a ridiculous short amount of time... It's like saying, Pink Floyd told Clare Torry to sing some notes, in contrast to respecting her improvisation efforts on "The Great Gig in the Sky"... we agree, that TDSotM is a masterpiece. It's a little unreal, that it exists and had its 50th anniversary last year!
The thing about Pink Floyd is every new song you hear will be your favorite. After years and years of listening to them my favorite changes week to week. This week it is Echos from Pompeii.
Im a life long Floyd fan seen them live twice for the Wall tour in 1980 and the Pulse tour 1994 , mind blown both times . I started with Floyd when my dad bought me the LP Meddle in 1972 when i was 10 . My fav track is Echoes LP version which is 24 mins long , My fav LP just above The Wall is Wish You Were Here a tribute to the founder Syd Barrett . This LP is worth a full LP reaction guys
I bought the album when it was released & saw the concert to promote the tour in '73. It remains to be one of the top musical experiences of my lifetime.
I was 17 when this album was released, and I always l have always loved this track. Now at 68 this track always sends a shiver down my spine and a tinge of regret for all the years that I have wasted.
I bought this album when I was a teen. It was instantly my favorite album, but it took me 5 years before I listened to the lyrics and realized it was a concept album to be listened to start to finish with a meaning. How did the band realize at a young age the thoughts that took me years and years to get it. Only the Beatles were also able to write about these things at a young age as well Like She's Leaving Home.
"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". Such an awesome lyric - we spend our time racing through life, chasing things we can't catch, or maybe shouldn't catch, and all it does is where us out and waste time that could be spent living life. This is one of the best songs ever made in my book.
BTW that last verse is actually a reprise of the earlier track "Breathe (in the air)" but is always played as a single piece, it forms the perfect link into the Clare Torry vocal track "The Great Gig in the Sky" which is possibly the deepest dive into the emotions of death you will ever hear.
Andy & Liz When this album, Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973, I was 9 years old making 51 years ago. I didn't think much of the meaning of Time back then, but I am 60 years old. This song will make anyone to think about their life as we get older. My suggestion is to live life the fullest.
as other people say the album is meant to be listened to in its entirety. If you react to the next track The Great Gig in the Sky then please do the album version before listening to it live. Clare Torry,s vocal performance is astonishing.
For future reference, David Gilmour is the legendary lead guitarist of Pink Floyd. No need to assume or question otherwise. Only the very first album, much lesser known, did Gilmour not perform. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5" next.
one of the most beautiful solos ever played from a time when guys could do this stuff without all the bs. from memory these guys had 2 semi trailor loads of electics on stage and a sparkie or 2 to check they didn't get electrocuted.
Not only David Gilmour's vocals, but Richard Wright's also make this song great. Richard Wright, the keyboardist, sings the slow parts (for example, "And then one day you find ten years have got behind you"), and his voice was a big part of PF's vocal sound in the late 60s and early 70s. Nick Mason's percussion is especially powerful with the roto toms in the beginning, and Roger Waters' lyrics put PF in a class of its own! Yes, Pulse has a performance of this song, but before going there, listen to the studio version of the song that immediately follows this, "The Great Gig in the Sky"!
As one who first heard this album at a 12//13 yrs,listen to it in the order recorded, there's a reason they always played them that way live. Yes, as a 66 yr old, it's about time speeding up as you age .😊
To give you an idea of the stay power of this album "Dark Side of the Moon". It came out in 1973 and off and on since then has spent over 1000 weeks in the Billboard top 200. Just this week it again hit #1 on that chart.
Us and Them from Dark Side of the Moon for an ethereal beautiful 7 minutes song that will land you on a cloud!!! As I said in another reaction they play the entire Dark Side of the Moon album live during the Pulse concert in order as it plays on the record album!!
65 years behind now, even that feels like a blink. 1994, Pontiac Silver Dome, Michigan, Pink Floyd, greatest concert of hundreds in my life. In an interview with David Gilmore and Richard Wright, when asked, both immediately said Pontiac Silver Dome was the best audience of their tour period. They said they played the whole Dark Side of the Moon album in concert since the Dark Side tour in the early 1970s. Because we were the favorite stop of their tour. 😊
Great reaction, looking forward to your reactions to Pulse concert songs Coming Back to Life, High Hopes, Sorrow, Keep Talking, Great Gig In The Sky 😊. So many great songs . You’re going to like each song better than the next. David Gilmour is a guitar master.
The harmonies are with keyboard wizard Richard Wright (RIP). Yes, this is featured in the Pulse set - incredible!!!! If you thought Glimour's guitar was great here, just wait until you get to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". You should do the studio version first (parts I-5, then parts 6-9)- the Pulse performance is amazing, but it greatly shortens the stunning keyboard intro by David Wright.
I still recall where I was, in whose company, when I first heard this album for the first time. Shortly after the initial release, and fortunately on a decent stereo.
I always appreciated how "Time" slowly cooks towards the end...like the beat is getting slower and slower and slower and you can feel that kind of mood in the way the lyrics are sung too as it is immediately reflected, so it's getting slower and slower until it finally melts like a butter on a frying pan...
The 3rd and final verse is called the breathe reprise as you may notice it fits with that song and is sung live when they play the long version of breathe in the air.❤
When it slows down nest the end (Home, home again) it is actually returning to the sung, Breathing, which comes two songs before it on the album. This is why the album should be experienced as a whole for best enjoyment
The cerebral band of rock, no oher band like them at all, a genre unto themselves. Named in homage to “Pink” Anderson and “Floyd” Council, two old black blues musicians from North Carolina.
When I first heard this in 73, I was 21 and thought my life had many decades to come, so I had plenty of time to achieve things. Now, at 72, with maybe only a handful of years to the end, I feel I achieved very little in reality. Frittered away? Possibly. So you young guns out there, take each day as possibly your last and cram in as much as you can, thus having no regrets when you come face to face with the grim reaper. Like they say, life has no sequel.
Rick Wright was the founder of Floyd along with Syd Barrett and Roger Waters and Nick Mason. Dave Gilmour came after Syd was suffering mental problems. Rick was the mainstay of their musical accomplishments. RIP Rick , a true musical hero of my lifetime and I'm 77!!!😂😅👍
The experience of time is directly linked to memory. Time speeds up as we accumulate memories. As children our experience is very limited; thus time is perceived to be agonizingly slow.
When the album hit, it was the song, _Money_ that was the hit. It was only after many years that _Time_ overtook _Money_ as the best song on the album. There are still many people who think Money is the better song.
@@allengator1914 The Great Gig is clearly one of the greatest songs of all time, and definitely the standout on TDSOTM.... ..Oh, i forgot, it has no lyrics, just magical vocals. lol
Money has a great sax solo that blends into a raging guitar solo….could really say there’s almost a double guitar solo too, since there’s a couple quiet bars that bridge the solo
@@garri5108 Methinks your opinion of yourself is grossly overated as is your musical knowledge and appreciation of quality rock and pop. The Dark Side was just as groundbreaking as Hendrix, The Stones, Ian Anderson , Bach, Beethovan and Wagner.......time you realised that The Troggs and Gary Glitter were nothing special.
As others have said, this is actually two songs. That's because one flows into the other (as does the whole album, more or less) so it's hard to break them up. Just on a pedantic note, not a criticism because most reactors do the same (as do many of the fans commenting!), there was no 'Pulse concert'. The shows were from The Division Bell tour (which I went to see), so if you like, it was The Division Bell concert(s). When they subsequently put the live album out, they called it Pulse. The album is Pulse, the concerts are The Division Bell tour. Enjoyed your reaction a lot, it was very genuine.
this song takes you from birth the bells the intro takes you to 10 years old lyrics takes you to 20 years old the solo fore from 20 to 50 years old lyrics talk about 50 to 65 tears old the ending is 70 or older come home after hospital stays and other things happen the magic spell are the prayers given at death
Hi Andy and Liz. Just letting you know Time is on the Pulse concert but I have to give you a song from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert from 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum in New York. You must must must watch it. The solo and the backing singers along with the rest of the band are immense. By far On The Turning Away is arguably one of their best tracks by far so you must watch it folks. What a song.
David is the main singer but Richard Wright starts the chorus then David joins him. I love Richards voice too. A great example of the two of them singing together in an epic song is "Echoes"
Gilmour sang the verses, Rick Wright was the lead on the chorus. As some others have commented on listening to the whole album (Dark Side of the Moon), the reason being at the end of this song it transitions beautifully into The Great Gig In The Sky. That is an experience in itself. You miss that reviewing it track to track.
Should the PULSE Version be next?... And thank you all for all of the Pink Floyd knowledge! We're loving this journey. What should be the 3rd song we listen too?
Top Tip, back in the 70's we would by the vinyl album and hear it for the first time, but the album sleeve has the lyrics so if we wanted to, we could always read what was being sung. So if you want that same experience just pull the lyrics up on your phone 😉
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Guys for first Pink Floyd listeners you did great job.
I heard this album for the first time more than 30 years ago and when I was younger I didn’t put so much attention to this, but now the last part of the song gives me chills because between the cold and fire 🔥 you only got just PAIN and many of us start getting obsessed counting the time backwards.🤟🤟🤟👍👍
Keep it up
@@AndyandLizTV Greetings from Miami. Yes, the PULSE version of Time is outstanding!
Do the whole album and put at least two songs back to back in order of the appearance till you get to the end this will show why near all Pink Floyds albums are a story being told that runs from one song to the Next all the way through the album Pulse is great but only Claire Torry does The Great gig in the Sky the best. @and a half takes and she was originally paid 30 pounds studio session fee then later found out they have used her vocals for the album. When you are 1 a year is 100% of your life when you get to 50 a year is only 2% of your life
If I had paused this song my friend's would have broken my legs .
Everyone in the room would come at someone who stopped it.
I'm 70 and feel there's no time left but live now everyday like theirs there's no tomorrow be happy and positive
Amen.
They wrote these lyrics in 1973 when they were in their Mid Twenties.
At 70 in London and as someone who attended their debut tour of this album in Earls Court, West London with 18,000 others in 1973,I can confirm that the last 51 years has flown by.
If you want a life tip. AVOID PHYSICAL WORK and you should have far less aches and pains as you age.
As someone who has been a fan of this album since its release in 1973, I always have to urge new Pink Floyd listeners to react to this ENTIRE album in ONE sitting!!! Dark Side of the Moon was made to be listened to in its entirety, from first track to last, without stopping!! The transitions between songs are so seamless that you will not even realize that you're on to the next song when you are listening!! For example the transition from the end of THIS song into the NEXT song is practically seamless and the next song on the album, called The Great Gig in the Sky, features one of the most incredible vocalists and vocal performances that you will ever hear in your life!!!

There is no ‘best song on the album’, there is only ‘the album’. It’s one song. And it’s arguably the best piece of emotive music ever committed to vinyl.
I am 60, been a PF fan since back in the '70s. There is an undeniable truth in this song. When I was young, I was indestructible and life was going to go on forever. I was a soldier, an athlete, a distance runner, and martial arts instructor. Today, time has revealed a new reality for me.

When you're young, there seems to be all the time in the world. The older you get, the faster it seems to go, and before you know it, you're old. A depressing reality, but an awesome song!
Im still young and happy i found this song its a wake up call every listen
How very very true....life goes by so very quickly....really enjoy and appreciate it while you're young
This old man was a teen when this song first was released. It's meaning changes along with the listener. A work of genius.
@@stevetheduck1425 Yep. I turned 8 years old when this came out, though I didn't hear it for the first time until I was about 12 or so. Kind of wish I'd of paid more attention to the lyrics then. lol

good or bad, depends on how you live your life, either way in old age this song will "taste" for sure sad
I never classed Pink Floyd as Rock and Roll. They're a class of their own.
As you grow older, the more you listen to this song, it will take on new meaning. When you hear this song, ten, twenty years from now, different lyrics will hit you in the feels.
That was Rick Wright who sang lead on the second part and David joins in on harmony and then David takes over on lead vocal again.
Interesting note is that Guinness Book of World's Records awarded Pink Floyd for their Dark Side of the Moon being on Billboards' Top 200 for over 700 weeks from 1973 to 1988. Today, this album is still on some other charts.
Want it to be longer? It is. I mean the whole album is a concept album, with the songs blending into one long experience. But specifically this song merges with the next, thematically. I consider them one song.

Dark side of the moon is considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time... over 700 weeks in Billboards top albums charts
The thing is, the whole album is one musical masterpiece, and is meant to be listened to as a singular piece of music. So when you say you feel like it was too short, it’s because you listened to it as a stand alone piece. There is a segue from one piece to the next. All of their best albums are like that. You need to hear Shine on You Crazy Diamond (alllll parts!), live and pulse, all of Dark Side of the Moon, all of Animals, all of The Wall, and all of the album Wish You Were Here.
They do the whole album at Pulse. So glad I took my wife to that concert! Eipc life experience!
You lucky bugger, awesome show.
The entire album "The Dark Side of the Moon" was played by Pink Floyd at the Pulse concert in 1994. And even in the exact order of the studio recording.
By the way, "Time" is followed by the stunning "The Great Gig in the Sky" - don't miss it. After all, I think if you watch the entire Pulse concert in sequence, you'll be blown away - it's a tour for the then-new album The Division Bell but at the same time it's a great cross-section of the best Pink Floyd had played (except perhaps Echoes).
Man if they played echoes in pulse holy shit that'd be the best version it might actually compete pompey
You really just HYPED us up by saying they do the whole concert at pulse. Reacting to our first Pink Floyd song "comfortably numb" was at Pulse and I've never had chills like that in my life. We're definitely gonna have to do more pulse concert songs! Thank you!
@@AndyandLizTV Please, do the studio version of The Great Gig in the Sky with Clare Torry before any live version. She walked into the studio and completely improvised the song in 2 takes. She started a 3rd and stopped because she felt the first 2 takes were better. Many live performances are good, just not quite up to the level of Clare's.
Lead singer David Gilmour wasn’t harmonizing with himself: he was harmonizing with Richard Wright (keyboards).
I love that the message of this song is: time is running out, yet they also spend the first half of the song wasting time with the intro. They just don't play fair. They transcend time, and genre.
This album is amazing as a whole…you guys should do that to understand the concept of the music. I felt in love with their music as a teenager in the early 70’s , and is the ultimate band for me
Time waits for no one. An epic song with heartfelt lyrics sung by David Gilmore and Richard Wright. Try 'Us and Them' it will also blow you away. Enjoy.
You run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again.
This is a song that is brilliant musically...AND lyrically.
You cannot underestimate the brilliance of the lyrics
Great perspective on life by guys in their early 20's. A towering masterpiece which will stand for centuries.
Two people - Richard Wright and Alan Parsons - are largely unsung heroes on this amazing album
Dude Richard Wright is the George Harrison of Floyd brother!!!
Totally agree. I love Richard Wrights song the wearing the inside out.
Alan Parsons did what the members of Pink Floyd told him...
@@carlosquezada4547 But Alan Parsons did an extraordinary job on this album, in a ridiculous short amount of time...

Keyboardist Rick Wright often sang harmony with David Gilmour. If you want to see them harmonizing, watch Echoes Live In Pompeii. It is from 1972
Yes they do this at pulse concert. Need to watch Sorrow from pulse concert. Great Reaction!
The thing about Pink Floyd is every new song you hear will be your favorite. After years and years of listening to them my favorite changes week to week. This week it is Echos from Pompeii.
The end of the track after he says, "Though I'd something more to say..." is actually the reprise of an earlier track called 'Breath'.
Im a life long Floyd fan seen them live twice for the Wall tour in 1980 and the Pulse tour 1994 , mind blown both times . I started with Floyd when my dad bought me the LP Meddle in 1972 when i was 10 . My fav track is Echoes LP version which is 24 mins long , My fav LP just above The Wall is Wish You Were Here a tribute to the founder Syd Barrett . This LP is worth a full LP reaction guys
That was Keyboardist Richard Wright singing the middle part and David comes in on the harmony

Loved this since buying the vinyl in 1973. Ive lived the life i wanted to, but now im 71 i STILL wonder whete all the time went.
The lyrics to this are timeless poetry
"Time" relates to every person who has ever lived. Yes, they performed it in the Pulse concert.
BTW that last verse is actually a reprise of the earlier track "Breathe (in the air)" but is always played as a single piece, it forms the perfect link into the Clare Torry vocal track "The Great Gig in the Sky" which is possibly the deepest dive into the emotions of death you will ever hear.
Pink Floyd is a journey an exspierence and they burrow deep into your soul and then you become Floyded

When this album, Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973, I was 9 years old making 51 years ago. I didn't think much of the meaning of Time back then, but I am 60 years old. This song will make anyone to think about their life as we get older. My suggestion is to live life the fullest.
Ticking of the clock was done by one of the founders of Pink Floyd and Bassist, Roger Waters.
Amazing advice!! We should all strive to live everyday like that. What a powerful song!!
Bought the album when it was released. It quickly became my top choice. Today, it still is. An absolute masterpiece.
as other people say the album is meant to be listened to in its entirety. If you react to the next track The Great Gig in the Sky then please do the album version before listening to it live. Clare Torry,s vocal performance is astonishing.
Gilmour killing the Vocals and Lead Guitar. Greatness. Let’s Go!
I first heard this song 50 years ago when I was in high school. Yes, time flies by very fast.
For future reference, David Gilmour is the legendary lead guitarist of Pink Floyd. No need to assume or question otherwise. Only the very first album, much lesser known, did Gilmour not perform.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5" next.
one of the most beautiful solos ever played from a time when guys could do this stuff without all the bs. from memory these guys had 2 semi trailor loads of electics on stage and a sparkie or 2 to check they didn't get electrocuted.
Not only David Gilmour's vocals, but Richard Wright's also make this song great. Richard Wright, the keyboardist, sings the slow parts (for example, "And then one day you find ten years have got behind you"), and his voice was a big part of PF's vocal sound in the late 60s and early 70s. Nick Mason's percussion is especially powerful with the roto toms in the beginning, and Roger Waters' lyrics put PF in a class of its own! Yes, Pulse has a performance of this song, but before going there, listen to the studio version of the song that immediately follows this, "The Great Gig in the Sky"!
Notice those back up voices how soulful too.
Even TIME as such stands still, in order to listen to this masterpiece!
As one who first heard this album at a 12//13 yrs,listen to it in the order recorded, there's a reason they always played them that way live. Yes, as a 66 yr old, it's about time speeding up as you age .😊
Would definitely recommend "Shine on you crazy diamond part 1-5" (Yes, it's one song), from the Wish you were here, album.
To give you an idea of the stay power of this album "Dark Side of the Moon". It came out in 1973 and off and on since then has spent over 1000 weeks in the Billboard top 200. Just this week it again hit #1 on that chart.
Us and Them from Dark Side of the Moon for an ethereal beautiful 7 minutes song that will land you on a cloud!!! As I said in another reaction they play the entire Dark Side of the Moon album live during the Pulse concert in order as it plays on the record album!!
65 years behind now, even that feels like a blink.
1994, Pontiac Silver Dome, Michigan, Pink Floyd, greatest concert of hundreds in my life.
In an interview with David Gilmore and Richard Wright, when asked, both immediately said Pontiac Silver Dome was the best audience of their tour period. They said they played the whole Dark Side of the Moon album in concert since the Dark Side tour in the early 1970s. Because we were the favorite stop of their tour. 😊
Pink Floyd is such a genius band that some people have stated that their music is for "Advanced Music Listeners."
Great reaction, looking forward to your reactions to Pulse concert songs Coming Back to Life, High Hopes, Sorrow, Keep Talking, Great Gig In The Sky 😊. So many great songs . You’re going to like each song better than the next. David Gilmour is a guitar master.
The harmonies are with keyboard wizard Richard Wright (RIP). Yes, this is featured in the Pulse set - incredible!!!!
If you thought Glimour's guitar was great here, just wait until you get to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". You should do the studio version first (parts I-5, then parts 6-9)- the Pulse performance is amazing, but it greatly shortens the stunning keyboard intro by David Wright.
A melhor em tudo . Composição e melodia
Watching from Ireland
If your a Floyd fan you probably are in your 60s . They are brilliant 👏
I still recall where I was, in whose company, when I first heard this album for the first time. Shortly after the initial release, and fortunately on a decent stereo.
Keep hitting Pink Floyd !
I always appreciated how "Time" slowly cooks towards the end...like the beat is getting slower and slower and slower and you can feel that kind of mood in the way the lyrics are sung too as it is immediately reflected, so it's getting slower and slower until it finally melts like a butter on a frying pan...
Echoes Live At Pompeii 1972 is a must listen and watch! …..Pink Floyd are the Cerebral poets of rock ‘n’ roll
Time doesn't fly by, time is constant.
Shine you crazy diamond is epic
Yes, Pulse version !!!
I've got to give you credit - you didn't interrupt the guitar solo. Cardinal rule #1 - you DO NOT interrupt guitar solo.
Good job.
We we're to blown away to even think about interrupting that greatness!!! CLASSIC!
The 3rd and final verse is called the breathe reprise as you may notice it fits with that song and is sung live when they play the long version of breathe in the air.❤
Yes! Check out Delicate Sound Of Thunder for this song live .Best copy.
When it slows down nest the end (Home, home again) it is actually returning to the sung, Breathing, which comes two songs before it on the album. This is why the album should be experienced as a whole for best enjoyment
Anything from the pulse concert. I have it on dvd. Oh how I wish I was there.
The cerebral band of rock, no oher band like them at all, a genre unto themselves. Named in homage to “Pink” Anderson and “Floyd” Council, two old black blues musicians from North Carolina.
try run like hell from pulse a real banger
You need to listen to the whole album non stop!
When I first heard this in 73, I was 21 and thought my life had many decades to come, so I had plenty of time to achieve things. Now, at 72, with maybe only a handful of years to the end, I feel I achieved very little in reality. Frittered away? Possibly. So you young guns out there, take each day as possibly your last and cram in as much as you can, thus having no regrets when you come face to face with the grim reaper. Like they say, life has no sequel.
Rick Wright was the founder of Floyd along with Syd Barrett and Roger Waters and Nick Mason. Dave Gilmour came after Syd was suffering mental problems. Rick was the mainstay of their musical accomplishments. RIP Rick , a true musical hero of my lifetime and I'm 77!!!😂😅👍
The experience of time is directly linked to memory. Time speeds up as we accumulate memories. As children our experience is very limited; thus time is perceived to be agonizingly slow.
Check out their “Echoes” live at Pompeii.
When the album hit, it was the song, _Money_ that was the hit. It was only after many years that _Time_ overtook _Money_ as the best song on the album. There are still many people who think Money is the better song.
Sorry, but "Us and Them" is the best song on the album.
@@allengator1914
The Great Gig is clearly one of the greatest songs of all time, and definitely the standout on TDSOTM.... ..Oh, i forgot, it has no lyrics, just magical vocals. lol
Money has a great sax solo that blends into a raging guitar solo….could really say there’s almost a double guitar solo too, since there’s a couple quiet bars that bridge the solo
I would say the whole album is good, nothing out of this world about this album. Very overrated
@@garri5108
Methinks your opinion of yourself is grossly overated as is your musical knowledge and appreciation of quality rock and pop.
The Dark Side was just as groundbreaking as Hendrix, The Stones, Ian Anderson , Bach, Beethovan and Wagner.......time you realised that The Troggs and Gary Glitter were nothing special.
Give it up guys. You’re way to over the top.
I'd recomend Pulse concert... on the turning away, wish you were here, shine on you crazy diamond, high hopes etc etc.
Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all times
As others have said, this is actually two songs. That's because one flows into the other (as does the whole album, more or less) so it's hard to break them up.
Just on a pedantic note, not a criticism because most reactors do the same (as do many of the fans commenting!), there was no 'Pulse concert'.
The shows were from The Division Bell tour (which I went to see), so if you like, it was The Division Bell concert(s).
When they subsequently put the live album out, they called it Pulse. The album is Pulse, the concerts are The Division Bell tour.
Enjoyed your reaction a lot, it was very genuine.
It's 😎👍 Different songs hit different folks in different ways.
the next song should be ...Wish you were here .... the pulse concert live version it is so freaking epic Gilmour is da man
It's on Pulse. Also listen to "coming back to life". Gilmore solo in the beginning is unforgettable. Pulse concert too
this song takes you from birth the bells the intro takes you to 10 years old lyrics takes you to 20 years old the solo fore from 20 to 50 years old lyrics talk about 50 to 65 tears old the ending is 70 or older come home after hospital stays and other things happen the magic spell are the prayers given at death
The greatest intro in history ❤
Please check out the PULSE LIVE version of Time. You will love it.
The greatest album of all TIME
Hi Andy and Liz. Just letting you know Time is on the Pulse concert but I have to give you a song from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert from 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum in New York. You must must must watch it. The solo and the backing singers along with the rest of the band are immense. By far On The Turning Away is arguably one of their best tracks by far so you must watch it folks. What a song.
David is the main singer but Richard Wright starts the chorus then David joins him. I love Richards voice too. A great example of the two of them singing together in an epic song is "Echoes"
This song leads perfectly into Wright's masterpiece "Great Gig in the Sky".
*Why are Americans always . . . . .”SUPER EXCITED!?* 😮 excellent reaction guys! 👍
too much coffee?
You should both play the album. You’ll be amazed where your mind goes :)
Gilmour sang the verses, Rick Wright was the lead on the chorus.
As some others have commented on listening to the whole album (Dark Side of the Moon), the reason being at the end of this song it transitions beautifully into The Great Gig In The Sky. That is an experience in itself. You miss that reviewing it track to track.
When you get to my age you'd be glad to wake up and be 60 years old again :) Glad you enjoyed it and yes check out the PULSE version too, brilliant.
