Don't forget about Richard Wright on the keys! Rest in peace! Him and Gilmour mixed together is a dream. I wouldn't mind dying to one of those two sections.
This song blew my mind. I remember feeling as if several hours had passed by the time I’d finished it. Be cautious if you choose to listen while tripping, it is one of the most profound waves you’ll ever ride
Every summer, I go camping with my friends and we trip out and listen to this song, along with Echoes and many other prog classics. Floyd is and always will be my favourite rock band because of these deep experiences! Glad to hear other people out there love to trip to this too!
@@BubbaButt7 Echoes, Dogs, Atom Heart Mother, Shine On, etc. They're all amazing and I marathon that catalog every summer when I trip while camping. I wish Echoes would never end, the blues jam, the trippy section, and the triumphant keyboard solo section. It is like going home when I'm in that state listening to that music
thank you! I've always been impressed by Crows, they were eating up our 'well-hidden' (ha!) food on the shore, and they sat there in the sunset, laughing, when we returned and needed to clean up their waste. They were looking silently while we're ignited the stove, putting water into the can, and got a warm lunch, while throwing the last pieces of cheese in the air, which were catched by their youngsters...
meh😒2 an extent i suppose... more like casual scavengers!!!lol jk ..but for reals, id bet money they'd for sure be sneaking every bit of sustenance every chance they get, rendering them just as reliant on the farm as they are...trip out...if this did just so happen to be the case..wouldnt it actually make them even more worse in the idea that they could make a choice to freely disappear in the hope for searching for food/water&surviving somewhere else..somewhere new each day somehow(just wingin' it!😝lol) like any truly free adventures spirit would.... but it often seems that if an animal is content with its immediate environment with fairly consistent..food/water/shelter..they too will stick with that old familiar road to convenience that we all know to well🤔...excuse me everyone, i mean thats just figuratively speaking.. what do i know im just a crazy person that thinks too much. but i get what your saying its admirable to percieve certain aspects of nature or animals as a genuine example of how people and or things ought to be.. but i wonder sometimes..is comfort/convenience inevitable at some point with evolution & intelligence... can crows really think with foresight that deeply and weigh options that complex or is its instinct to stick to convenient survival.. just inevitably part of nature...i must admitt they are pretty darn smart....ps..dont forget people, there's a raven...&there's a crow..like..there's a coyote, &there's a Wolf..significant difference that one musnt forget not to get twisted lol
Agreed. Gilmour's playing probably peaked with Animals. My favorite Gilmour solo is from the next song "Pigs - 3 Different Ones." That long solo at the end.
This is the best song of Pink Floyd (in my opinion). The dogs (like the army or the police) are the "security" of pigs (government leaders). Without them, the pigs are as fragile as they are on a dinner plate.
Human: the state powers that enforces the laws of privatized dictatorship control over production Pigs: the capitalist class who lives off worker's real labor value, generational ownership, and shady alliances Dogs: the reactionaries who work with the state and the capitalist to reinforce divides between the classes Donkey: the working class who are aware of the class inequality and generational production dictatorships The other animals: most regular hard working people who may never even achieve class consciousness without assistance
• Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. • Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. • No animal shall wear clothes. • No animal shall sleep in a bed. • No animal shall drink alcohol. • No animal shall kill any other animal. • All animals are equal (But some animals are more equal than others)
5:32 minutes in, One of the best solos you will ever hear, I know it's part of a longer solo but the way he kicks it up a notch at 5:32 is just something else entirely, Timeless classic
Is everyone going to ignore that the animation for this is from the movie Animal Farm? haha I mean the book/ movie are similar to the song, but not quite the same. Still i love this song! Pink Floyd is fantastic
Waters drew inspiration from the book, but criticized capitalism instead of communism. He focuses on determined, unscrupulous, materialist businessmen in this first song, political influences in pigs, and mindless, scared followers in sheep.

Capitalism will lead to a leading, privilegied class, 1% that holds all the corporations and business together, and the government too, versus a 99% of working class people, surviving because of the tax and other social advantages that allows them not to complain.

The intention is there,its just that the dogs are too busy looking for their bones,to actually 'coral' the sheep to get them headed in the RIGHT direction.
John Koerner Orwell was a socialist himself, but was critical of communism and its failure in the USSR. He especially hated totalitarianism, a key trait of communism.
Back in 78 at 10 yrs old i was alone in home with the housekeeper and i already listened to pink floyd at the radio money , wywh etc but i put these album , and changed my life forever that solo of gimour in dogs its epic and the stoner bass notes of sheep , changed my life forever, its an amazing album
Man listen to that guitar around 4:30 and from 13:25 . . . Gilmour really is one of the Top 5 rock guitarists of all time. It just feels like nothing in this world.
There will never be another band like, Pink Floyd, who can put the story and music together in such a timeless fashion. If so, not in my lifetime. Iron Maiden is another capable group, but Pink Floyd laid the foundation and hold the blue prints.
At 6:20, does everyone feel Gilmour's guitar strings scratching at the innards like ravenous, hungry insects? There is no feeling like that, honestly...
When I was reading Animal Farm by George Orwell, this album was constantly coming in my mind, beautiful work of relating this amazing song with the book story.
Film: Animal Farm (1954), I found out of this film after watching this and it is now one of my favorite animated movies of all time. Thanks, this works amazingly with Pink Floyd’s Dogs
What gets me is how everyone shows the pain, the sadness, and the sorrow of the poor animals, and although we, ourselves, end up like that in the end, almost nobody is preparing a way to stop the insanity in the future. So many just accept the hell. Yet, any one of us can be tossed into torment at any time. Day or night! My purpose was altered, but the fact is, had it not been, torment for all of us would be nothing more than a bad memory!
Funny thing, I discovered this music thanks to this video many years ago, seen it a couple of time. And many years later (yesterday), I read George Orwell’s Animal Farm. As I was reading it I was like « wait … I know this story » but I knew I’ve never read it. And as I read pages of this book I was like « I remmeber an animated movie about it, probably one I’ve seen when I was a kiddo ». And when I finished it (still yesterday) I was like « dayum, that was this video ». Quite a bit funny that, I don’t know if this is because I saw this video before, but every pictures I was doing in my head was exactly these clips, and the kind of music I was doing in my head while reading was dogs. I’m glad to have come back to this video few years later, thanks to pink Floyd I discovered this story, and thanks to this book I can go back to this song that I use to listen in repeat. Now I can listen this masterpiece on and again and enjoy this glitter sound and heartbreaking solos as I use to
If they only dropped this song as a single and never the whole album, I still wouldn't be mad. The Wright/Gilmour sections are divine and the outro is the perfect energy and message to end the song with. But the whole song is stunning.
Today, the government of the Czech Republic began to manage the lives of its citizens through a system called PES (translated as DOG) because of covid 19. I immediately remembered this song and video clip ... Animal Farm begins...
This song has given me chills from the moment I heard it and everytime since then. The irony is beyond explanation. The story that goes with it in relation to my family is so fucking creepy it makes me sick to my stomach and yet I can't stop listening. Great album,great song by a great band.😱
Awesome animated rendition of the awesome song . AND a great message to companies that have a built in culture of fear that stifles the ideas of it's most important members.
@@jofall91 yeah I would not be surprised if you are right friend.Orwell re introduced the modern Animal fable to the world.I was 11 when this came out and the same thought occurred then but never read them referring to it.
All animals are created equal, some are just more equal than others. What a great summation of the human class system. Why do we ascribe value to certain things?
Stone is often repeated in the songs. The stone is the weight we carry to achieve success. That weight of the stone can be so heavy that it kills our true selves. In the end you can achieve the success you dreamed of only to find out you're in a nightmare.
Best album: Animals. And this is probably the best song. Sophisticated musically but not just for the sake of it. The urgency, the relevance are still felt viscerally. It's 45 years old!
Pink Floyd's animal is one of my favorites cuz it reminds me of a best friend i had in Jr high & high school. We use to drop acid on the weekend & smoke a ton of weed. He was like a little John Belushi, absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately he died in like 85/86. It broke my heart to lose another person in my life whom to a certain extent i need. I pray for him everyday & sometimes i get to hang out with him in my dreams i will see him. Good memories & Good times. 🌵☦️🌵
You got to be crazy Gotta have a real need Gotta sleep on your toes And when you're on the street You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight You got to strike when the moment is right Without thinking And after a while You can work on points for style Like the club tie and a firm handshake A certain look in the eye and an easy smile You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to So that when they turn their backs on you You'll get the chance to put the knife in You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older Yeah, and in the end, you'll pack up and fly down south Hide your head in the sand Just another sad old man All alone and dying of cancer And when you lose control You'll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows The bad blood slows and turns to stone And it's too late to lose the weight You used to need to throw around So have a good drown as you go down all alone Dragged down by the stone Gotta admit That I'm a little bit confused Sometimes it seems to me As if I'm just being used Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off This creeping malaise If I don't stand my own ground How can I find my way out of this maze? Deaf, dumb and blind You just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable And no one has a real friend And it seems to you the thing to do Would be to isolate the winner And everything's done under the sun And you believe at heart everyone's a killer Who was born in a house full of pain? Who was trained not to spit in the fan? Who was told what to do by the man? Who was broken by trained personnel? Who was fitted with collar and chain? Who was given a pat on the back? Who was breaking away from the pack? Who was only a stranger at home? Who was ground down in the end? Who was found dead on the phone? Who was dragged down by the stone? Who was dragged down by the stone?
When I first heard Pink Floyd, like anyone else, I curiously over indulged and immersed my self in all of their compositions. I profoundly remember when I first heard them in 2009. I was in the 9th grade English class and when the teacher was reviewing the book we have all been doing projects on for about a month or so now. The book was non other than George Orwell's Animal Farm. The parallel that the author had created between his book and the reality we live in was astounding to me and I found it fascinating. I was fascinated at the idea of someone expressing their opinion about the reality of the piggish politics going on our world. With a photographic memory, I vividly remember sitting in class and seeing visions of what I thought the author was describing in his book. The setting, the characters, the story, and the conflict, I seen it all so vividly. Crazy thing I noticed about this video is that I had a sensation as if I had previously seen this video somewhere before? The Visions I Had Experienced In Class Had These Exact Visuals!!!! From the swanky classical cartoon animation, to the idea of what the characters looked like all the way down to their actions. & For some reason... Pink Floyd's Animals album had been playing in the back of my head! I don't know if it was because I had been listening to Pink Floyd zealously for many months prior to this book, but I had heard the Animal's album a few months prior to even knowing that we would be reading this book for class. Maybe it was the pig on the album cover that made my sub conscience connect the dots with me seeing the results unknowingly how they were created . I was utterly dumbfounded. It was an enigmatic sensation and all the curious i was i was without a doubt intrigued. I swear this video, with the audio included, was exactly what i was daydreaming about in english class in 2009. & I Cannot Get Over THAT Fact ! ! ! That experience like deja vu ! like i have seen this before but never in my life have i!
This approaches perfection. A poignant message about the ruthlessness of business, coupled with the allegory of the Russian revolution, and the corruption that tends to come with business, in Animal Farm. Thankyou for making this. -John
The selling out and betrayal of the injured Boxer the horse always made me tear up when reading "Animal Farm" or watching this cartoon. He gave his life for naught when the pigs basically became the thing they were originally against (a ruling class). The fable that Orwell constructed was so perfect to learn about the failures of Stalinist Communism.
Hearing this for the first time was what cemented my desire to become a musician. Forty years later and having been a guitarist, instructor and recording engineer for decades, and Dave Gilmour is still one my favorite guitarists. His playing still inspires and influences me to this day, just as much as Alan Holdsworth, or Andres Segovia. You have great taste btw, those harmonies are sublime. One of my favorite parts of any song by anyone.
Haha listening to this on acid losing my mind to the end of the song “who was breaking away from the pack” “who was only a stranger at home” god damn I must of replayed that 20 times that night
@@carlostadeuforville5411 to understand first ,that Roger's the ego and narcissism is bigger than his musical talent. In Pink Floyd he was a good lyricist.
Pink Floyd was the best band ever but it's sad to see you can come to an end this song reminds me of a lot of things this was the best song ever good job Pink Floyd
This has been my favourite Pink Floyd song since I first heard it many years ago. This video is great, too. I think it's the best video ever made for this song.
if only one band is to remain in the memory for ever it will be pinks floyd.musically live or in the studio, they play as well it's the king of progressive rock pop
Finding out about the link between the book and this album, is what blew my mind to the sky🤯... I just couldn't believe how perfect everything in the artwork of the album really was. You see, this album and the impact on a teenager marks beyond a skar, because as soon as I realized about the link I read the book in approximately 3 to 5 hours straight, and my mind was sooooo far away by the end🥲. Politics, art, music, literature, culture and maybe a couple of🚬😵💫....there's no other band in the world that will ever make me live an episode like that...and for that, thank you Pink Floyd, thank you very much.
Several decades ago, my wife bought me a pair of Sennheiser Reference 550 HDs. They were plugged into a pretty impressive Onkyo system I only mention this to give credence to the following. My office is set up with lots of sound baffling and my laptop runs through a magni to Emotiva Pro sixes. When I listen to this song, I can't help but think that it is listened to the way that it was intended. So unbelievably clean at such a high volume.
Freud Jourd buen punto, mi disco favorito basado en uno de mis tantos libros favoritos, originalmente "Rebelión en la granja" caricaturizaba la revolución rusa, aunque igual se puede rescatar como herramienta para criticar la sociedad de hoy (en mi opinión)
George Orwell wrote “Animal Farm” and “1984” as warnings about communism. But with Pink Floyd’s album playing in the background of this clip from “Animal Farm,” “Animal Farm” also has a lot in common with Capitalism.
"Animal farm ":All human being has the same rights to promote their own life accordance with the dignity, respect and value that determine upon all humanity, but some has different quality of life of being so they are entitle to deserve more rights than the other, owing to their social status, color of skin and race of their identity. That can not be labeled as racism, but intellectual discrimination as the results of fear of losing control their hegemonic social status and class or race domination. Min Naing Aung-Melbourne
It's also sooo not. But I think it suits the song very well. It's almost as if people were aware of the human condition 40 years ago. Thank fuck for progress.
Cool, was wondering because we had to read it in high school but never saw the animation. The similarities in the song and this clip are pretty awesome though.

One of Pink Floyds most underated songs of all time. I love it... The guitar solo gives me goosebumps all over my body.
Same here. David Gilmour is amazing
Lol this song is not underated. Best song of Pink Floyd
Absolutely brilliant
Don't forget about Richard Wright on the keys! Rest in peace! Him and Gilmour mixed together is a dream. I wouldn't mind dying to one of those two sections.

I wish Echoes would never end, the blues jam, the trippy section, and the triumphant keyboard solo section. It is like going home when I'm in that state listening to that music
And the Crow remains free to do as he pleases because he's not part of the farm. Just a casual observer.

Nope, its been explained that the pigs are indeed politicians but the dogs are the capitalists and the sheep are us who are exploited.
@@SirAntoniousBlock how are we exploited when we have more opportunity than ever to create a sustainable comfort of living?
Human: the state powers that enforces the laws of privatized dictatorship control over production
Pigs: the capitalist class who lives off worker's real labor value, generational ownership, and shady alliances
Dogs: the reactionaries who work with the state and the capitalist to reinforce divides between the classes
Donkey: the working class who are aware of the class inequality and generational production dictatorships
The other animals: most regular hard working people who may never even achieve class consciousness without assistance

I can’t think of another 17 minute song that I can just listen to over and over again.
Maybe Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, but that's only 13 min and change but it parallels the profound nature of a epic song

Yeap...
Yeah. An animated adaptation with a "happy" ending where Napoleon pays for his shenanigans.
the BEAR trap

@@santiagorincon92 I wish Orwell himself ended like this film did yet I do understand...
Not all stories have happy endings.
There is another version with Patrick Stewart dubbing Napoleon (aka. Lenin). A much more somber version.

Today, the government of the Czech Republic began to manage the lives of its citizens through a system called PES (translated as DOG) because of covid 19. I immediately remembered this song and video clip ... Animal Farm begins...
Blasted this on a loooong drive thru Northern Territory in OZ. Hypnotic. Glad I could still concentrate on the road 😊
I know that feeling!!! Pink Floyd has some of the best music for those long drives.
It's not a song, it's a Masterpiece.
My favorite song for ever.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fits like a glove. Probably PF's best record, could be wrong but second to my children being born hearing this live was the high point.
@10:02 is the beginning of one of the greatest keyboard solos i have ever heard in my entire life... RIP Richard Wright.
there's alot of feeling and emotion there for sure
A masterpiece. This song will always leave me in tears. ❤❤❤❤
Это не песня это произведение высочайшего мастерства и таланта я от нее как будто под героиновым трипом находился
Eres mujer por casualidad???
Just fucking Amazing! couldn't have queued up 3:40 more better! it goes with pink Floyd's style!
the best by far the way the song drags you by the scruff of the neck and points out, this is what's going down is amazing....
My favorite Pink Floyd song ever, set to a great video with an important message. Nice to see awake people in the music section of utube...
This song has given me chills from the moment I heard it and everytime since then. The irony is beyond explanation. The story that goes with it in relation to my family is so fucking creepy it makes me sick to my stomach and yet I can't stop listening. Great album,great song by a great band.😱
hunter biden is that you?
Awesome animated rendition of the awesome song . AND a great message to companies that have a built in culture of fear that stifles the ideas of it's most important members.
This may be the animated Animal Farm (original novel by George Orwell), which Floyd based this whole album off of.
@@jofall91 yeah I would not be surprised if you are right friend.Orwell re introduced the modern Animal fable to the world.I was 11 when this came out and the same thought occurred then but never read them referring to it.
All animals are created equal, some are just more equal than others.
What a great summation of the human class system.
Why do we ascribe value to certain things?
Stone is often repeated in the songs. The stone is the weight we carry to achieve success. That weight of the stone can be so heavy that it kills our true selves. In the end you can achieve the success you dreamed of only to find out you're in a nightmare.
Best album: Animals. And this is probably the best song. Sophisticated musically but not just for the sake of it. The urgency, the relevance are still felt viscerally. It's 45 years old!
My favorite Floyd song, and there is some tough competition. The anime in this fits TOO Well, same with Pigs.
Pink Floyd's animal is one of my favorites cuz it reminds me of a best friend i had in Jr high & high school. We use to drop acid on the weekend & smoke a ton of weed. He was like a little John Belushi, absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately he died in like 85/86. It broke my heart to lose another person in my life whom to a certain extent i need. I pray for him everyday & sometimes i get to hang out with him in my dreams i will see him. Good memories & Good times. 🌵☦️🌵
i wish you peace
You got to be crazy
Gotta have a real need
Gotta sleep on your toes
And when you're on the street
You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight
You got to strike when the moment is right
Without thinking
And after a while
You can work on points for style
Like the club tie and a firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older
Yeah, and in the end, you'll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
And when you lose control
You'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows
The bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight
You used to need to throw around
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone
Gotta admit
That I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me
As if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off
This creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground
How can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb and blind
You just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable
And no one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do
Would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain?
Who was trained not to spit in the fan?
Who was told what to do by the man?
Who was broken by trained personnel?
Who was fitted with collar and chain?
Who was given a pat on the back?
Who was breaking away from the pack?
Who was only a stranger at home?
Who was ground down in the end?
Who was found dead on the phone?
Who was dragged down by the stone?
Who was dragged down by the stone?
I love it I love!!!!!!!
I love you I love pink floyd love
When I first heard Pink Floyd, like anyone else, I curiously over indulged and immersed my self in all of their compositions. I profoundly remember when I first heard them in 2009. I was in the 9th grade English class and when the teacher was reviewing the book we have all been doing projects on for about a month or so now. The book was non other than George Orwell's Animal Farm. The parallel that the author had created between his book and the reality we live in was astounding to me and I found it fascinating. I was fascinated at the idea of someone expressing their opinion about the reality of the piggish politics going on our world. With a photographic memory, I vividly remember sitting in class and seeing visions of what I thought the author was describing in his book. The setting, the characters, the story, and the conflict, I seen it all so vividly. Crazy thing I noticed about this video is that I had a sensation as if I had previously seen this video somewhere before? The Visions I Had Experienced In Class Had These Exact Visuals!!!! From the swanky classical cartoon animation, to the idea of what the characters looked like all the way down to their actions. & For some reason... Pink Floyd's Animals album had been playing in the back of my head! I don't know if it was because I had been listening to Pink Floyd zealously for many months prior to this book, but I had heard the Animal's album a few months prior to even knowing that we would be reading this book for class. Maybe it was the pig on the album cover that made my sub conscience connect the dots with me seeing the results unknowingly how they were created . I was utterly dumbfounded. It was an enigmatic sensation and all the curious i was i was without a doubt intrigued. I swear this video, with the audio included, was exactly what i was daydreaming about in english class in 2009. & I Cannot Get Over THAT Fact ! ! ! That experience like deja vu ! like i have seen this before but never in my life have i!
Your comment is almost as long as this amazing tune!
This approaches perfection. A poignant message about the ruthlessness of business, coupled with the allegory of the Russian revolution, and the corruption that tends to come with business, in Animal Farm. Thankyou for making this.
-John
The selling out and betrayal of the injured Boxer the horse always made me tear up when reading "Animal Farm" or watching this cartoon. He gave his life for naught when the pigs basically became the thing they were originally against (a ruling class). The fable that Orwell constructed was so perfect to learn about the failures of Stalinist Communism.
🙄Talk about
Meet the new boss
Worse than the old boss😱.
Communism in general. The idea of communism is beautiful, but unreal. As long as there are people, there will be a society and class system.
@@noahpartic7586 we must work at the same place 🤣
@@porkchop1605 🤔Possible.
@@oranz19it's not beautiful in theory either because it's very impossible
Love this. If you ever go to a Brit Floyd show, they use scenes from Plague Dogs for this song, but this works with the song as well.
BL33DBLACKNG0LD1 oh man i went to brit floyd in 2016, they were great
Gilmore's guitar at 3:41 tho? Freakin AWESOME!!!
Lori Beth Kerns, yes. 3:41-6:43ish. I weep
Hearing this for the first time was what cemented my desire to become a musician. Forty years later and having been a guitarist, instructor and recording engineer for decades, and Dave Gilmour is still one my favorite guitarists. His playing still inspires and influences me to this day, just as much as Alan Holdsworth, or Andres Segovia. You have great taste btw, those harmonies are sublime. One of my favorite parts of any song by anyone.
Haha listening to this on acid losing my mind to the end of the song “who was breaking away from the pack” “who was only a stranger at home” god damn I must of replayed that 20 times that night
David Gilmour genio y leyenda viviente. Gracias por esta obra maestra.
This is mostly Waters. Gilmour did some arrangements there
DG contribution in this song...is litle and small.
@@carlostadeuforville5411 to understand first ,that Roger's the ego and narcissism is bigger than his musical talent. In Pink Floyd he was a good lyricist.
Gilmour el mejor
Pink Floyd was the best band ever but it's sad to see you can come to an end this song reminds me of a lot of things this was the best song ever good job Pink Floyd
This has been my favourite Pink Floyd song since I first heard it many years ago. This video is great, too. I think it's the best video ever made for this song.
Fantastic Floyd
if only one band is to remain in the memory for ever it will be pinks floyd.musically live or in the studio, they play as well it's the king of progressive rock pop
Perfect song for Canada today
How have I never seen this? It's Fantastic! Thank you. ☮️💃☮️
Finding out about the link between the book and this album, is what blew my mind to the sky🤯... I just couldn't believe how perfect everything in the artwork of the album really was. You see, this album and the impact on a teenager marks beyond a skar, because as soon as I realized about the link I read the book in approximately 3 to 5 hours straight, and my mind was sooooo far away by the end🥲.
Politics, art, music, literature, culture and maybe a couple of🚬😵💫....there's no other band in the world that will ever make me live an episode like that...and for that, thank you Pink Floyd, thank you very much.
The mid section of this song is one of the most depressing things I have ever heard.
Several decades ago, my wife bought me a pair of Sennheiser Reference 550 HDs. They were plugged into a pretty impressive Onkyo system I only mention this to give credence to the following. My office is set up with lots of sound baffling and my laptop runs through a magni to Emotiva Pro sixes. When I listen to this song, I can't help but think that it is listened to the way that it was intended. So unbelievably clean at such a high volume.
Great album, great song. Pink Floyd never disappointed imo.
True most underated album pure class this
the best 17 minutes of my lifee
Animals is my all time PF favorite. Present day 2018...Animation is spot on and confirms the work of prophetic GENIUS!!!
This song is perhaps my number 1 favorite Pink Floyd track
this video is a gift to humanity, thank-you
Thank you.
Excelente, "la rebelion en la granja" sino me equivoco...aunque pienso que el video hubiese quedado mejor con Pigs
Freud Jourd buen punto, mi disco favorito basado en uno de mis tantos libros favoritos, originalmente "Rebelión en la granja" caricaturizaba la revolución rusa, aunque igual se puede rescatar como herramienta para criticar la sociedad de hoy (en mi opinión)
One of the best songs of the 21st century. Sums up our society really...
But it came out in the 20th...
Best floyd album. Period..
Animals is by far my most favourite album
That was pretty fucking amazing !
George Orwell wrote “Animal Farm” and “1984” as warnings about communism. But with Pink Floyd’s album playing in the background of this clip from “Animal Farm,” “Animal Farm” also has a lot in common with Capitalism.
Real life. Both sides,all sides are in on it
This is just the animated version of animal farm book with dogs by pink Floyd
This is the most powerful song of the world. Period.
this is such a beautiful piece of art
What a song!
"Animal farm ":All human being has the same rights to promote their own life accordance with the dignity, respect and value that determine upon all humanity, but some has different quality of life of being so they are entitle to deserve more rights than the other, owing to their social status, color of skin and race of their identity. That can not be labeled as racism, but intellectual discrimination as the results of fear of losing control their hegemonic social status and class or race domination. Min Naing Aung-Melbourne
Animal farm. Great film.
not sure what this cartoon is, but it's sooo Floyd!
+WlSEGUY its animal farm from 1954
Read the book. It's short, but very spot on.
It's also sooo not. But I think it suits the song very well. It's almost as if people were aware of the human condition 40 years ago. Thank fuck for progress.
that was a pretty good video
animal farm by george orwell
I was wondering if this actually was pink Floyd, i was a little skeptical
Cool, was wondering because we had to read it in high school but never saw the animation. The similarities in the song and this clip are pretty awesome though.
Favorite Pink Floyd song I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.
F ing amazing
Gilmour solo is heaven
14:07 synced up perfectly
As Orwell said.All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
One of my all time favorite songs by these masters
And when you lose control
You'll reap the harvest you have sown.
that was awesome,and very fitting...
Karma-Fukrs-Karma.....you'll each and everyone of ya's get whats coming to ya!!!! ;)
