Always said there will never be another Ozzy, Metallica, Dire Straits, AC/DC, Guns and Roses, Pink Floyd, Etc. it's not like rap where you get a new crappy rapper copying the last rapper or stealing music. Music this good will only be on our music list not on the radio
The essence of Pink Floyd is that they never rush!. They take all the time they need to make their statement, both musically and lyrically. If they need a 5 minute intro, they take it. This is one reason that they seem to be enveloping the listener in a blanket of warm stardust. An embrace should never be rushed, and neither should Pink Floyd! Never be afraid to feel or express those deep emotions. It's what makes us both human and divine!
Very well said. You just described the essence of Pink Floyd in a nutshell. They drive you to your deepest feelings so much, that it make the tears flow.... now that's music.
I'm 41, and I love this comment for a couple of reasons. For one, I feel the same way, and that's the power of great music to span generations. And also, I don't know whether you mean "tear" as in crying tears, or "tears", as in ripping apart...but either way, I'm right there with you. It tears me apart and tears run down my face.
Hi Aileen, not sure how you take requests for reaction videos but I’d like to recommend the song, “In Any Tongue” by David Gilmour, the guitarist featured here. The live Pompeii performance is best and the song is a lyrical masterpiece. One of his best IMO.
@@scottalexander619 ,I agree. Such a moving song and a simply gut wrenchingly beautiful guitar solo. The version with the pencil drawn video also hits really hard.
This is still absolutely the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It's been what, 35ish years? It still brings tears to my eyes. The music just kills me but its message must also be heard. We can do this. We can share this world without turning away. Just fucking do it.
What a beautifully succinct way of describing Floyd. I've loved them since I was a kid in the 70's. Seen them live only once (this 'Pulse' gig at Earls Court in fact), its certainly not normal music, its a journey that steals your heart and soul - stunning band.
@@peteturner3928 This is actually from Delicate Sound of Thunder 1987', Pulse was 94'. Saw both tours, it's really sad it will never happen again but at least we have these documented shows to revisit
@@AileenSenpai I was so excited to this pop up today! Next Recommendation: Shine on You Crazy Diamond from the David Gilmour solo concert Remember that Night!!!
What makes Gilmour an true artist is he plays with purpose, precision and vision. It's not about flashy solos or shredding. He's telling a story, he's reaching out to touch your heart. It's incredible.
Cant remember who it was that said it but the quote went something like this "David Gilmore can say more in one note than any shredder can in a hundred" or something close to that.
Several of their albums could serve as the foundation for a very attractive, highly attended, and instructive college-level class in PHILOSOPHY, SOCIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, and/or other subjects.
Your reaction was perfect, I am British and 70 years old and I have been listening to this music for my whole life, and it is all ways like the first time, like the first Love. Thank you for loving them to.
It's a song about no longer being apathetic to humanity's suffering around you. And the ending as the chords are rising, give an elevated mood so you feel uplifted by the music. It's meant to raise you up, and bring you hope for the world to start caring about each other. About being altruistic.
And with what's happening across the World in Ukraine and Palestine I only hope and pray that people really listen to these lyrics and star taking them literally "NO MORE TURNING AWAY FROM THE WEAK AND THE WEARY..!!" as the World is so full of HATE, FEAR, DISTRESS AND DISTRUCTION..!! 🫶💙🙏😇😍
I was about to type a post similar to yours.. but yours is very good. In my opinion the first few verses challenge the listener to reflect on the weak & the weary. The third verse offers hope that we might change and the rest of the song uplifts us to try to retain that new hope just as you pointed out. I do not know that Aileen got that on her 1st go. But she did have the obligatory "OMG this just feels in the feels" which she seems to know is what PF often does.
Those floating in outer space sounds at the beginning were being made by the late great Richard Wright....keyboardist since the beginning of the bands existence.....he is truly missed.
Crying is the most appropriate reaction to listening to this magic. Their music is etherial, transcending and emotional in the most connecting way ever. If ever there were a band to make you feel a part of all that is, it is these humans. What a gift to humanity they were.
I love watching your reactions. Pink Floyd makes grown men cry, not just young women like yourself. I've cried countless times over the decades listening to Floyd. Their music is pure magic. There's no other way to describe it. I saw them live on the 1994 tour. It was literally a life altering night.
I was lucky to see them on their last tour together in 1994. I was 12 years old and my friends' older brothers & his friends didn't want to take us with them. That concert changed my life, and I was in awe as we left, and now, as an adult, I am definitely grateful bc that changed everything for me.. Thank you
I'm 70 years old and consider this as one of Pink Floyd's best songs. Especially in the lyrics and the message conveyed. It captures your soul and takes it to a place of truth and reality. It does affect you hard as you get older. Makes you reflect and see how you can or could have affected someone with a simple gift of generosity, to raise their self-esteem. Maybe the world would be a better place today?
Is incredible how Pink Floyd can makes us cry just by the beauty of the music. Is a diferent kind of cry, is not by sadness is jus fell the emotion of the contemplation of something sublime, metafisical, spiritual. This is pure magic.
Pink Floyd makes memories with there music. That's why I love them.. I'm 61 and I've been listening too them since 1973. I will always love Pink Floyd 💗
So happy you did this one Aileen, absolutely beautiful. Love how everyone on stage sings together “No more turning away”, facing the crap head on in strength. Very powerful and uplifting. Much love!❤
Im 70 now! Still Rock n Roll!!!! But now I get a Natural High!!!!! Pink Floyd is Powerful Music!!!!! I tear up at times. Takes me back to the Awesome Era!!!! High!!!!!!
This is why Pink Floyd’s contribution to music has been so profound and their music is timeless. This band started in the late 60s and people are still discovering them and their music remains relevant year after year. I would suggest putting on your headphones, and listen to each Floyd album in its entirety in a dark comfortable setting. The music will take you away
I’ve been experiencing Pink Floyd now for well over 50 years and they have never disappointed.The part of the human makeup that lets us fail or be just Okay was not part of them.Another example of greatness from back in the day, when music had meaning and the ability to make you feel.Damn I miss the old days.
Music is my Time Machine some songs instantly take me back to when I first heard it. It’s also my drug. For every mood I have i have a song to match it.
Anyone who listens to Pink and does not become emotional. I don't understand... You are not the only one that reacts to Pink like that. We ALL do Was that great or what???!!!! Love is a great way to put it.
Pink Floyd is a trip, high or sober it never mattered.Their music is always something that invokes an emotion. I've used Pink Floyd to fall asleep to because it's the perfect music just drift away.
Truly a masterpiece, so inspiring and moving. It is like they don't play instruments, they are actually instruments, theirs all minds and bodies are music... it is divine and profound. We just don't try to understand it, just feeling it and be impacted by this tsunami of emotions, a beautiful cocktail of endorfines that cancel space and time and became in this place of wonder and marveling, joy and peace. Thanx God for this music, a beautifully crafted gift from You. Four thumbs up Aileen !! 👍👍👍👍
After listening to “Floyd,” I’m always left in a better place. 🤘😎 Aileen, that was a genuinely beautiful reaction to this exceptional Gilmour composition. Everything from the later albums, “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” and “The Division Bell” will be more of what you obviously like. Love the channel. Regards
The magic, deepness and glow of Pink Floyd's music, lyrics and presentation are absolutely unique. For several years I've played in a 10-piece Pink Floxd tribute band. We gave our best, but experienced honestly that there is something that can't be reproduced (especially when it comes to David's Solos). I tried hard to figure it out, but found just few answers in musical aspects. It's like you said Aileen "...I don't know what it was." After all, for me it's something out of this world. A high spiritual altitude or even "the breath of God". What a gift...
Gilmour a guitar God. He can convey so much with so little. He uses phrasing so well and he lets his notes breathe. He is also a criminally underrated singer. Floyd is not just music its art.
"You don't know love, until you listen to Pink Floyd." Great quote. Thanks for your reaction. It's wonderful to see new people experience the depth of Pink Floyd.
Incredible reaction! I can totally relate to the emotions you feel while watching this. David Gilmour once again showing why he's the GOAT. Nobody emotes with their guitar like him.
This particular song hits people in the feels (in my opinion) is because it describes helping and loving those who are hurting. If you have any hurt in your life, it reaches into your heart and feels like a hug at the same time.
I have been listening to them for so many years. Every time I listen to this song and Comfortably Numb always make me tear up. On The Turning Away has lyrics that cannot be any more timeless than our current state of humanity.
The emotion you feel is so natural because what Gilmour plays through his guitar is so natural. It's from his soul to our souls. NOBODY can make their guitar SING like his.
Hey Aileen! I’m new to the channel, having just found you about a month ago. I didn’t realize you’d reacted to this song until I looked at your older videos tonight. As wonderful as Pink Floyd are, and as fantastic as their more well-known songs are, this song and “Keep Talking,” are time and again in my top five for Floyd tunes. Never apologize for getting emotional listening to music, embrace it instead, because for the duration of the song, when you’re letting your emotions flow, you’re doing the exact same thing as the musicians are doing: you’re sharing in the human collective.
Wow… 50 + years of listening to Pink Floyd, and it still brings me to tears right along with you. A good set of headphones, with a good stereo, (various substances) transported you to a beautiful place. I was in awe that people could make something sound so amazing!
Personally, I love it when a song reaches into the depths of my heart and the tears will not be held back. I really appreciate your willingness to be yourself and allow us to share in your emotions.
What a thoughtful and honest reaction to this very emotional and powerful Floyd song you have made! I'm sure its been gone over by hundreds by now but your feeling the inherent sadness was totally on purpose as this song is all about homelessness and how as humans it's just easier for us to "turn away" rather than doing anything about it. That breakdown in the middle you mentioned was meant to make you see how beauty and sadness can walk hand in hand, and make you think about how sad you feel about the topic. Then the long guitar solo is the catharthis which evokes anger, sadness, hope and finally resolution. I saw this tour back in '87 and '88 and then again in '94 so i had the privilege to see this song live and feel the immediacy of what you feel. I'm so glad to see the music Pink Floyd being enjoyed by the next generation after mine. It's timeless of course.
Aileen, what a treat this was to experience this again for the first time through your eyes and ears! The message put out by the band on this performance all those years ago was directed through you and touched my soul. Much love to you!
I loved that you said "You don't know love until you listen to Pink Floyd". That was a hell of a line/thought/feeling. You can't really tell how good and fantastic Pink Floyd is just by listening to them. You must be able to feel it, and you are. In such a beautiful way.
this is a perfect example of why movies put music into certain parts of scenes - music evokes emotions in a way that can't be equaled, and Pink Floyd is a group who are masters of this.
It was great revisiting a song I haven’t heard in ~20 years. And it still rings so true today. The best part about watching this is they are do clearly having fun. They also knew they absolutely nailed it. The backup singers though…..absolutely perfect. It’s a painting, with notes
We all say it because it’s the truth , Floyd are made differently the way they can pierce your heart ,mind and soul , honestly they make us all more human in those few moments we are listening to them and embraced by their music we become the best of ourselves our heart is bigger our minds reach further our souls can fly , that’s what creativity can release, fabulous reaction thank you 👍
Pink Floyd has always been my 'therapy' when I needed a mental break. Soothing, soulful and an emotional ride through your thoughts/mind, body and soul. Absolutely my favorite band... Glad you enjoy them as well.
Another GREAT reaction! PF is one of my all time favorites, this is such a moving song. His voice just speaks right to you and his guitar digs right into your soul... EVERY guitar wants David Gilmour for Christmas... I was fortunate enough to see them live on the 'Pulse' tour. I had tears my eyes the entire performance... Love your channel!
Subscribed because of the fun you have with songs like “Lazy” and the heartfelt emotion you show in songs like “Black” and now this. This 65 yr. old sees music like you do. So happy we’ve met. All the best to you and yours/ always.
My nephew is about your age and I introduced him to Pink Floyd and he has taken to them as you have. I drew him in by just telling him “try this, it’s audio art, music that actually conjures imagery.” I will never get enough of watching your Pink Floyd journey!
Great reaction to such a beautiful song from a band that stands out from all the rest. I was so glad you played the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert version. I love the PULSE concert immensely, but there's something extra special about this concert, and it all starts from the very first second of the concert video. I saw how you reacted when you heard Margret Taylor cry out those notes near the end of the song @ 9:58. Those three ladies, in my opinion, were the best trio of all the great ladies Pink Floyd has ever featured. I hope you react to The Great Gig in the Sky from this concert. It sends shivers through your spine.
I really “discovered” Pink Floyd a few years ago. I was aware of them for years but never really got into them until about 4 years ago. Since then I listen to some PF everyday. “No band” moves me like PF. I have tears all the time, but they also make me happy and give me hope. They touch my soul. This is probably my most favourite of their songs. My other favourite is High Hopes. In fact the entire Division Bell live concert (1994) is a masterpiece. I love watching people’s reactions to PF. Yours was excellent.🇨🇦👍
I discovered Floyd in 1989, I saw them live in 1994. They stir emotions in me every time I listen to them. When you wiped a tear you made me cry. Floyd is amazing. Great reaction!
Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time and I love song choice ❤. David Gilmour is one of my favorite guitarists his guitar solos are always amazing.
Underrated though? I mean, I thought he was widely recognized as a virtuoso. Hell, even Roger Waters recently described him as a "jolly good guitarist."
Just so beautiful to watch your reactions. I wear my Floyyd shirts with pride. I'm in my 70 's and am still moved everytime I listen to them. So many young people comment on my shirt when I'm out and about
Is this the live version? They are amazing. The emotions you show when doing a reaction video is worth every moment. Keep up the great work. Love ya. ❤️
@Daniel Dambrosio - It's not from PULSE, it's from the previous tour which was 1987-1989. Delicate Sound Of Thunder. This particular video is from the 2019 re-edited and remastered release.
I love how you described it. Their music is emotional, and really makes you feel things, deeply. There is sadness but also inspiration. I cried when I first heard their music, and I still cry even after so many years. That’s not a bad thing, but I cried even watching this after all these years. Every single time it feels like the very first time I’ve heard it. There is no other music that I can say that about.
I liked your reaction video, and I've liked a few others as well, all on the subject of "On the Turning Away". What a great performance! I love that you are moved by it, as are so many others, including me. I'm 62 by the way, and grew up with Pink Floyd music, but this one escaped me. Amazing that I'm still discovering them. 😅
There's someone still able to cry while listening to some good music? This is for me the best gift your nature can give to you! Keep it and joy... I know many people able to hear music, but not so many able to listening to it. That's a gift!
They sure don’t make music like that anymore…. Probably never will 😢.
Agree 💯
Don't think time will ever catch up with Pink Floyd.
Unfortunately we won't get music like this anymore the first time I herd pink Floyd I never looked back they are awesome no dought about it
Amen the best of the best for sure! I put on my headphones every night to listen to them!
Always said there will never be another Ozzy, Metallica, Dire Straits, AC/DC, Guns and Roses, Pink Floyd, Etc. it's not like rap where you get a new crappy rapper copying the last rapper or stealing music. Music this good will only be on our music list not on the radio
The essence of Pink Floyd is that they never rush!. They take all the time they need to make their statement, both musically and lyrically. If they need a 5 minute intro, they take it. This is one reason that they seem to be enveloping the listener in a blanket of warm stardust. An embrace should never be rushed, and neither should Pink Floyd! Never be afraid to feel or express those deep emotions. It's what makes us both human and divine!
Amen!
Very well said. You just described the essence of Pink Floyd in a nutshell. They drive you to your deepest feelings so much, that it make the tears flow.... now that's music.
@@peter9962 It's the effect that most artists aim for, but rarely achieve. Pink Floyd is noteworthy for how consistently they succeed.
Don't feel bad about crying! At 73 I still cry every time I hear this song! Gilmour's guitar just tears me up!
Gilmour's voice has gotten more "gravely" over the years .. its amazing
Same for me at 72
I'm 41, and I love this comment for a couple of reasons. For one, I feel the same way, and that's the power of great music to span generations. And also, I don't know whether you mean "tear" as in crying tears, or "tears", as in ripping apart...but either way, I'm right there with you. It tears me apart and tears run down my face.
@@grampajim1595 Yes, it has wizened and wisened with age, which only serves to give it more emotional weight.

For me, Pink Floyd is the greatest band the last 100 years. Their art transcends generations and it touches the soul.

Absolutely timeless. James 1:17.
Universal messages and thoughts of caring that are applicable to, and practiced by, all of humanity.
I listen to them, since i was a kid. Im 43 now, still love it. cant guet tired off them.
The Beatles are the greatest, RUSH is the best, Pink Floyd is in a world of their own

He has a gift of putting everyone in a trance ♥️

Et oui ça fait pleurer de joie, même à 60 ans + 🙏
So many great songs from this band....I would love for you to do "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" since it's my personal favorite!
I was lucky to see them on their last tour together in 1994. I was 12 years old and my friends' older brothers & his friends didn't want to take us with them. That concert changed my life, and I was in awe as we left, and now, as an adult, I am definitely grateful bc that changed everything for me.. Thank you
Con. Todo. Respeito. Você. Sentiu. Toda. Emoção. Gue. Essa. Obra. Plima. Passa. É. Nainha. Opinião. Uma. Das mas. Linda. Do. Mundo. Sou. Fan
I saw them at Soldier field in '94.
I seen them Foxbourgh Stadium 1994 18 yrs old and I have been listening to them daily since and until I take my last breath
In 94’ I was 15 years old and my father and my older brother took me and a friend with them to this. I’m forever grateful
I saw them in 89 as a teenager as well. And even at that very moment, I knew I witnessed something grandiose. Not to many of those times in life.
This is why Pink Floyd is legendary they put you in a trance and make you feel things you didn't even know you could feel all at once
I'm 70 years old and consider this as one of Pink Floyd's best songs.
Especially in the lyrics and the message conveyed. It captures your soul and takes it to a place of truth and reality.
It does affect you hard as you get older. Makes you reflect and see how you can or could have affected someone with a simple gift of generosity, to raise their self-esteem.

By far one the best bands ever to create an experience not just music. David Gilmour is amazing on the guitar and his voice reaches into your soul.
Truly a masterpiece, so inspiring and moving. It is like they don't play instruments, they are actually instruments, theirs all minds and bodies are music... it is divine and profound.

The message of this song is often unfortunately "turned away"

The emotion you feel is so natural because what Gilmour plays through his guitar is so natural. It's from his soul to our souls. NOBODY can make their guitar SING like his.
Hey Aileen! I’m new to the channel, having just found you about a month ago. I didn’t realize you’d reacted to this song until I looked at your older videos tonight. As wonderful as Pink Floyd are, and as fantastic as their more well-known songs are, this song and “Keep Talking,” are time and again in my top five for Floyd tunes. Never apologize for getting emotional listening to music, embrace it instead, because for the duration of the song, when you’re letting your emotions flow, you’re doing the exact same thing as the musicians are doing: you’re sharing in the human collective.
It's good to know that music on a genius level can still affect listeners of every generation.
Wow… 50 + years of listening to Pink Floyd, and it still brings me to tears right along with you. A good set of headphones, with a good stereo, (various substances) transported you to a beautiful place. I was in awe that people could make something sound so amazing!
Personally, I love it when a song reaches into the depths of my heart and the tears will not be held back. I really appreciate your willingness to be yourself and allow us to share in your emotions.
How do I message on telegram?
What a thoughtful and honest reaction to this very emotional and powerful Floyd song you have made! I'm sure its been gone over by hundreds by now but your feeling the inherent sadness was totally on purpose as this song is all about homelessness and how as humans it's just easier for us to "turn away" rather than doing anything about it. That breakdown in the middle you mentioned was meant to make you see how beauty and sadness can walk hand in hand, and make you think about how sad you feel about the topic. Then the long guitar solo is the catharthis which evokes anger, sadness, hope and finally resolution. I saw this tour back in '87 and '88 and then again in '94 so i had the privilege to see this song live and feel the immediacy of what you feel. I'm so glad to see the music Pink Floyd being enjoyed by the next generation after mine. It's timeless of course.
Triumph over tragedy, love conquers all. Spiritual oneness, and "no more turning away". Your reaction is very sweet and genuine.
Aileen, what a treat this was to experience this again for the first time through your eyes and ears! The message put out by the band on this performance all those years ago was directed through you and touched my soul. Much love to you!
You're such a beautiful soul and person and you really understand Floyd, you're amazing
I loved that you said "You don't know love until you listen to Pink Floyd". That was a hell of a line/thought/feeling. You can't really tell how good and fantastic Pink Floyd is just by listening to them. You must be able to feel it, and you are. In such a beautiful way.
David Gilmour... just magical, still makes me cry like the first time I heard this magnificent solo!
I was lucky enough to see them 3 times during Delicate sound of thunder tour. I am still mesmerized by them when i watch the DVD
They definitely have a gift of making us feel our true emotions.
Just to see you make this music even more❤.. omg thangs girl❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song always seemed very melancholy to me. Fab reaction and of course PF is fabulous as always 😌
I feel the music so much more watching your expressions and feeling how it touches your soul.
Yes this song definitely has that effect. Another great reaction. 🎉
I was fortunate to have seen that performed live .
Lovin the horns , beautiful reaction
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs of all time.
this is a perfect example of why movies put music into certain parts of scenes - music evokes emotions in a way that can't be equaled, and Pink Floyd is a group who are masters of this.
It was great revisiting a song I haven’t heard in ~20 years. And it still rings so true today.
The best part about watching this is they are do clearly having fun. They also knew they absolutely nailed it. The backup singers though…..absolutely perfect. It’s a painting, with notes
In a world where most wear a mask, it is a privilege to see the soul. All the best and hug, Boyan
We all say it because it’s the truth , Floyd are made differently the way they can pierce your heart ,mind and soul , honestly they make us all more human in those few moments we are listening to them and embraced by their music we become the best of ourselves our heart is bigger our minds reach further our souls can fly , that’s what creativity can release, fabulous reaction thank you 👍
Loved to watch it with you, Your Reaction is just Beautiful :-)
Pink Floyd drive your emotions …. It’s that simple ❤❤❤
Pink Floyd has always been my 'therapy' when I needed a mental break.
Soothing, soulful and an emotional ride through your thoughts/mind, body and soul.
Absolutely my favorite band... Glad you enjoy them as well.
Another GREAT reaction! PF is one of my all time favorites, this is such a moving song. His voice just speaks right to you and his guitar digs right into your soul... EVERY guitar wants David Gilmour for Christmas... I was fortunate enough to see them live on the 'Pulse' tour. I had tears my eyes the entire performance... Love your channel!
Subscribed because of the fun you have with songs like “Lazy” and the heartfelt emotion you show in songs like “Black” and now this. This 65 yr. old sees music like you do. So happy we’ve met. All the best to you and yours/ always.
Your reaction is 100% spot on girl they make you feel the music ❤😊
That high note from Margret Taylor at 10:00 is stupendous.
My nephew is about your age and I introduced him to Pink Floyd and he has taken to them as you have. I drew him in by just telling him “try this, it’s audio art, music that actually conjures imagery.”
I will never get enough of watching your Pink Floyd journey!
Great reaction to such a beautiful song from a band that stands out from all the rest. I was so glad you played the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert version. I love the PULSE concert immensely, but there's something extra special about this concert, and it all starts from the very first second of the concert video.
I saw how you reacted when you heard Margret Taylor cry out those notes near the end of the song @ 9:58. Those three ladies, in my opinion, were the best trio of all the great ladies Pink Floyd has ever featured.
I hope you react to The Great Gig in the Sky from this concert. It sends shivers through your spine.
I really “discovered” Pink Floyd a few years ago. I was aware of them for years but never really got into them until about 4 years ago. Since then I listen to some PF everyday. “No band” moves me like PF. I have tears all the time, but they also make me happy and give me hope. They touch my soul. This is probably my most favourite of their songs. My other favourite is High Hopes. In fact the entire Division Bell live concert (1994) is a masterpiece. I love watching people’s reactions to PF. Yours was excellent.🇨🇦👍
This song holds such deep meaning for so many people and its different for everyone
I discovered Floyd in 1989, I saw them live in 1994. They stir emotions in me every time I listen to them. When you wiped a tear you made me cry. Floyd is amazing. Great reaction!
The lyrics are really poignant but it is really Gilmour’s guitar that pierces the heart
I first heard this track 40 years ago and I've never stopped loving it, it's beautiful, there is so much feeling in the guitar solo.
This song brings tears to its eyes. I follow Pink Floyd for over 30 years. It's wonderful. Congratulations dear friend ❤
Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time and I love song choice ❤. David Gilmour is one of my favorite guitarists his guitar solos are always amazing.
You listen and feel Pink Floyd the way I listen and feel Pink Floyd. David Gilmour is and will always be my favorite guitar player.
David Gilmour is the most underrated guitarist of all time... He makes the guitar speak every single time.
I've been saying that for many years! To see him live is is definitely a mesmerizing experience! No one like him!
Underrated though? I mean, I thought he was widely recognized as a virtuoso. Hell, even Roger Waters recently described him as a "jolly good guitarist."
He is generally considered a top 5 all timer.
"Underated" is you tube click bait. Stop using this word please. Gilmour is highly regarded. For those of us who know PF.
Just so beautiful to watch your reactions. I wear my Floyyd shirts with pride. I'm in my 70 's and am still moved everytime I listen to them. So many young people comment on my shirt when I'm out and about
Is this the live version? They are amazing. The emotions you show when doing a reaction video is worth every moment. Keep up the great work. Love ya. ❤️
This is from the Pulse tour, I know this clip by heart 😁✌️🕊️
@Daniel Dambrosio - It's not from PULSE, it's from the previous tour which was 1987-1989. Delicate Sound Of Thunder. This particular video is from the 2019 re-edited and remastered release.
If anyone ever wonted an example of a perfect harmony. It’s this song. It’s perfection with all the band and backup singers .
Seeing them live is akin to a spiritual experience.
I love this video and I adore the smile it brings to you...... Pink Floyd forever......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take care !!!!!
Pink Floyd has a way of reaching into someone's heart, and even if it's cold and seems dead; their music and lyrics make you feel again.
Great reaction, insightful analysis.
I love how you described it. Their music is emotional, and really makes you feel things, deeply. There is sadness but also inspiration.
I cried when I first heard their music, and I still cry even after so many years. That’s not a bad thing, but I cried even watching this after all these years. Every single time it feels like the very first time I’ve heard it. There is no other music that I can say that about.
I liked your reaction video, and I've liked a few others as well, all on the subject of "On the Turning Away". What a great performance! I love that you are moved by it, as are so many others, including me. I'm 62 by the way, and grew up with Pink Floyd music, but this one escaped me. Amazing that I'm still discovering them. 😅
There's someone still able to cry while listening to some good music? This is for me the best gift your nature can give to you! Keep it and joy... I know many people able to hear music, but not so many able to listening to it. That's a gift!
