I'M A 50 YR OLD BLACK MAN. FLOYD IS, HAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY FAVORITE GROUP OF ALL TIMES NO MATTER THE GENRE. THIS IS AKA "STONER MUSIC", IT ALWAYS PUTS YOU IN A PEACEFUL SPACE. NO MATTER WHAT SPACE YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN. PINK FLOYD WILL ALWAYS BRING FORTH PEACE, CALM, RELAXED STATE OF BEING.
@@MrBugulNoz Same here, saw them when that came to Death Valley at Clemson in "93" I always told me mother when I was a teen that if they ever went on tour I wanted to see them. As a graduation gift she got me tickets. Best graduation gift ever.
I never imagined how rewarding it would be to witness someone experience for the first time the music that's been in my soul for more than 30 years. Reminder that some things are simply timeless and universal.
Yeah isn't it kind of cool? I never expected I'd be watching music reaction videos. But honestly it's really cool seeing someone else experience music that's touched my heart.
wow I just had that experience watching this video. his face as he listened made me happy. as a young child until this very night I have wrapped myself in Floyd for comfort. I always come away better especially in times when my soul has worn thin.
I had a piece of paper behind my note pad that I took in lectures at university - it had my favourite quotes from songs. This was one of the original quotes.
I am seventy plus so Floyd were very much my era they broke the mold I will be eternally. Gratfull to them for their fantastically beautiful thought pravouking music its a shame all good things come to an end but I will always carry there music in my heart
Yup, & it blew this guy's brains all over the place - as it should. Don't know why, but watching this gave me such joy. So glad this was the song he chose.
@@kachoww5981 omg better lyrics were . i must hear the song with better lyrics. think whats being said om bias if floyds on im wearing headphones and hurting my ears its full on
Lmao I hate this comment. My first reaction was to disagree but the more I thought about it the more I agree. It could mean so many different things, it's genius.
Same reaction at Wembley for the delicate sound of thunder tour, grown men and women crying there hearts out, so emotional. Then the same again at pulse ❤😪❤
If you REALLY want to binge and do something different... do a Pink Floyd album reaction. Dark Side of the Moon, each song flows into the next so the entire album is like one long song. And it is one of the greatest albums of all time. Call it a concept album, released 1973
Ok. You want to zone to a long track? "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts. I-V)" is a great track for that... there are of course many others; but that's a really good place to start. It is DEFINITELY right up your alley. Also, I'm noticing your occasionally bewildered expressions toward the beginning and ends of Floyd tracks. You may have figured out that they do not really start or stop abruptly like songs from most artists. That is because most of their albums (especially their more critically acclaimed ones) are themed compositions. They are generally meant to be heard from start to finish. That's not to say you can't listen to single tracks; but if you want the full Pink Floyd experience, you need to at some point, particularly before your channel gets too big, stream some albums in their entirety. Go ahead with these tracks first though: "Another Brick in the Wall" (pt 1 and pt 2 - includes "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives"), "Time", "Have A Cigar", "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", "Money", "Welcome to the Machine" (might wanna save this one for an album stream though), "Fearless", "Hey You", "Run Like Hell", and "Us and Them". You get most of those knocked out, and I guarantee you won't mind hearing them again in a full stream. Anyways, just my thoughts; but I'm sure many others will agree. EDIT: The only reason I think you shouldn't walk straight into the album reactions, is for the sake of your channel. There is a lot of content from Pink Floyd, that's true; but you'll blow through it in real large chunks, and real fast, if you don't tease yourself some, and save a bit for later. By the way, I am holding the album cover for "Wish You Were Here" Immersion Edition in my profile pic. I have since got every Floyd album on their recent vinyl reissues. They are some of the best sounding records in my collection. This band affects you in ways that you'll never shake.
Aubrey Berry Yes, you’re right of course. “Concept Albums” is the usual nomenclature. I was tired, and in a hurry when I replied. Apologies... but tomato, tomato XD
See if you can find one that combines Wish You Were Here with Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts VI-IX... The wind at the end leads into one of the most brilliant moments in rock history IMO, and a fantastic slide guitar solo by Mr. Gilmour; better than Parts I-V if you can believe it.
I live watching your face as you listen. Every emotion you feel as you listen is written in your expression. Consternation, despair, revelation.., it’s beautiful. Floyd has been probably my favourite band since I can’t remember. Watching others, a whole new generation, discover them is a joy. Now you need to check out the Animals album, my personal fav.
Totally different genre, but you might wanna check out older stuff of Opeth (morningrise and deliverance come to mind), or even shape of despair (shades of),if you are going for the chill(Ing)
When I saw you react to "A Lead Role In A Cage" I knew it right then and there, you where getting it, you wasn't just listening to Pink Floyd, you are actually hearing it. The music Is great awesome BUT the words the words man they have so much meaning, I'm at a lost for words just how deep they go man. I have to sub to you I got to see all your videos, catch ya later...
I loved how he honed in on that immediately. It's the core meaning of the whole album, an ode to Syd. Preston has the soul of a poet, brilliant, and I think it's so much fun to watch him.
It isn't possible to 'casually' listen to a Pink Floyd song. You are either engaged brain and soul or you're in a completely different room. So glad you are enjoying your journey. Keep it up. =)
Pinnk Floyd is meant to be listened to by the album not the song, so if you do a binge, be sure to go cover to cover on a full album. Dark side of the Moon is a great starting point, but you can't go wrong with DSotM, Wish You Were Here, Animals, or The Wall.
Really glad to see giving Pink Floyd a chance. You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it. Many of their albums are meant to be listened to as one piece. Grab your earphones, put on Dark Side of the Moon, get comfortable and let them take you on a journey. The Wall is another great masterpiece, along with Animals and Wish You Were Here, The Division Bell, the list goes on. Honestly, I haven't heard anything from them that I haven't absolutely loved. They are artists in the truest sense. It never ceases to amaze me how they can take a collection of (often strange) sounds and turn them into something so beautiful and full of feeling.
Who cares how long it takes it's epic I'm with you man. I just finished telling him the same thing period that a large majority of Pink Floyd's albums were concept albums at least the ones after Syd Barrett was no longer with them. I told him to hit this front back also the Final Cut front to back but only after hearing and watching the wall front to back. Because the Final Cut was kind of a continuation of the wall
Bruh, since you said both TOOL & Pink Floyd, means so much! Your cred as a music lover has just reached the top. But you still have no idea what Pink Floyd is about to do to you. Binge Dark Side of the Moon. That album will go by so fast and then you'll have it on your workout playlist AND you will play it as you go to sleep at night. I promise you.
This is how amazing Pink Floyd is. Their album "Dark Side of the Moon" when it came out was on the "Billboard top 200" for over 14 straight years. Every week it was in the top 200 albums sold. That's insane. Nothing ever will compare to that so I suggest you listen to that album. It will not disappoint
"The only problem I have with this song is it was too short..." I suppose that's your way of saying to the song after it's finished "Wish you were here"...Whether you realise it or not. Have an up vote. Good work, my friend.
Yours is the first "Wish You Were Here" reaction I've seen to pay THIS MUCH ATTENTION to the lyrics. Good on you! Yes, you should binge, but Pink Floyd albums are thematic. You may want to consider 'album reactions' on this … would be a journey
ThejuanchoX not really, roger said in an interview that this song isn’t particularly about someone but Shine On You Crazy Diamond was written about Syd.
The look on your face is genuine...it takes a ton of talent to touch your soul and David Gilmour can do that with his melodic guitar alone backed with his wonderful lyrics....👍👌
Adam Shelby this is true....Gilmour claims the main riff was out of his practice routine so both split the credit....in my opinion Gilmour’s melodic guitar is what made the song that much better....👍
Most important aspect you bring with your channel is you allow us to relive the song from when we first heard it.. your respect for music is special man I thank you 🙏🏼❤️
I really want to see a reaction to the Great Gig in the Sky. The way that Floyd evokes so much passion and feeling with the wordless vocals is nothing short of amazing.
I really appreciate how you listen to every word of the songs you react to. You really feel them. I love watching you experience the songs I have loved for years. And, I love your true appreciation for them. You can't fake feelings, and yours shine through beautifully.
I am happy for you man!... cause I see Pink Floyd as a wonderful gift that I've got from the music industry, and the gift is for everyone... wishing you to enjoy your new present. After you'll listen to other materials in the future, you will reach the understanding, that to listen to Pink Floyd the right and the only way, is to hear from the beginning of the album to the end.
Been watching and enjoying your reactions for a long long time. You will absolutely lose your mind when you listen to The entire Dark side of the moon album. I won't be the first to suggest you do it all, and no pauses. No one will mind if you don't comment and pause. Get comfortable, let it play, scream out comments as they organically happen, but no pausing just go, we'll all love your journey as you listen trust me.
My daughter and I had this song played at my husband/her dad's funeral as that he used to play and sing this song 🥺 die hard Floyd fan here!! Listen to the meaning of the song and "the great gig in the sky" RIP Ben 😭
I’m sorry to hear about your husband. That is a deep pain that never goes away. Hope you’ve been able to find some peace and comfort where possible.❤ My kids and I also played this and Free Bird at my own husband’s funeral, too. I still tear up when I hear them.
Woohoo. Man first Conformably Numb now Wish You Were Here and last week or so Wings For Marie Part Two. They are three of my top 5 favourite songs of all time. Well done bro. Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Tool are my favourite bands. I'm so stoked you're loving them. You're channel is awesome bro.
Rodger Waters said that this song is about one of its founding members', Syd Barrett's mental breakdown brought on by his copious consumption of LSD (my words, not his). Once it happened, he never returned to the band. He passed at the age of 60 in 2006.
You’re gonna love Pink Floyd man. Like you I’m all over Floyd and Tool. It’s thinking man’s music. Led Zeppelin is another one like that. If you want to get into the zone bro listen to Shine on You Crazy Diamond parts 1-5 and all of Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall. I especially recommend Dark Side of the Moon. That album was FIRE. Groundbreaking in its time and even now. Theres a good reason Dark Side spent 741 weeks straight in the Billboard top 100. That’s a few weeks over 14 years straight. Also fun fact, that album syncs REALLY well to The Wizard of Oz.
Justin Giovanniello Any recommendations for Led Zeppelin songs outside the well known classics? I've been meaning to dig deeper into their stuff, but haven't gotten around to it just yet.
Bohemen I haven’t gone too far deep into their more obscure stuff but I like: The Ocean, Over the Hills and Far Away, I Cant Quit You Baby, What is and What Never Should Be, Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, When the Levee Breaks (bit I like the A Perfect Circle cover a bit more ;)), The Rain Song, The Lemon Song (live especially! John Paul Jones is FIRE live playing this song). Then of course there are the radio classics even though I did list one or two of those.
All I can say is Amen on Tool & Pink Floyd. They both are an entire moving experience. Please go on a pink floyd binge. Just start with an album and start with the 1st song to last song. I highly suggest "Dark Side of the Moon". It is like an entire experience and story. The album "The Wall" is like that too. Mind blowing perfection. GREAT REACTION! 💓🎤🎼
The only way to truly appreciate Pink Floyd is to listen to an entire album. I'd start with Dark Side and work your way through some of their big albums from the 70's!
Definatelty one of the most beautifully written and composed songs of all time! One aspect of a great and timeless song is when the band of course probably has their reason for writing it and meaning behind it, and when we all can listen to it and possibly walk away with our own feelings/thoughts and meaning of it for ourselves. Music is unbelievably powerful! Great video, Thanks!
Pink Floyd and Tool are similar in that they kind of created their own genre. It's really tough indeed to find other artists that are doing\did what Tool and Pink Floyd do. Check out Pink Floyd comfortably numb live at Pulse. Worth every moment of a re-listen, I promise you.
I knew once I saw this video hit, your reaction to that one lyrics would be epic. You didn't disappoint. Did you exchange, a walk on part in the war, your a lead roll in a cage. Still one of the favorite lyrics ever.
This song still brings tears to my eyes. Or me its always been about losing yourself then losing who you really love and there still there but not for you. Classic
This song is about the Pink Floyd band member named Syd Barrett. Through late 1967 and early 1968, Barrett became increasingly erratic, partly as a consequence of his reported heavy use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD. There is also speculation that he suffered from schizophrenia. But each can interpret it in their own way.
Hey man I know you're learning the guitar now, this is one of the first songs I learned on guitar. Its a really simple riff, but fun to play. You've got great taste in music my friend!
lyrics are cool, and deep. but for me its all about the music,. their music takes me where I want to go... BE!! haven't found a band that gives me that vibe , that feeling. david Gilmour is god
King KTF, I have been a fan of Pink Floyd since 1973 when Dark Side of Moon. After listening PF, I was hooked! You just scratched the surface of their materials. History of Pink Floyd: band founded by man named Syd Barret who forced to leave the band after having mental issues. David Gilmour, guitarist, Roger Waters, bassist who left the band in I believed in 1985 after some fall out, Richard Wright, keyboardist who died in 2008, and Nick Mason, drummer. They have other musicians & backup singers on stage during live concert. But Pink Floyd started out as original four. Name Pink Floyd is unique itself. Band is heavily influenced from the blues even though PF known for being progressive. Name is from two Blues men : Pink Anderson & Floyd Council.
I love your appreciation for art and music. Watching you react to music I've been listening to for over 20 years of my life has made me realize how great that music truly is. It's made me excited to listen to music again. I appreciate your depth of understanding and open mind to all music/ the world around you.
Agree 200%! Intelligent in general, open eyes to everything and mesmerizing to watch both for entertainment and his breakdown of music at it's core, as people.
I love watching this. Ive heard these songs by these bands sooo many times but watching someone hear them for the first times makes me excited all over again.
Most of their songs were made for you to listen to the entire album. In order. It was the 70’s. Albums were made not as singles. So glad you enjoyed it. It’s probably one of my favorites. They Young Lust from them to see their range. They did it all.
I love watching you react to so many songs I have loved throughout the years. Wish you were here is my all time favorite Floyd song. Was a song I listened to on repeat through a dark time in my life. Love it. Glad you appreciate all the great ones! ❤
Mother is a deep song..very awesome..I wrote all the lyrics down (a long time ago) for my mom for mother's day..she loved it..then I played the song for her.. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
It isn't hyperbole to say that dark side of the moon is one of the greatest albums of all time, I still listen to it weekly. Every Friday when I'm done with work for the week I just put it on and melt away for a bit.
This is absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time! And I believe my grandma uses this song to send me messages. She passed in 2012. So many times since then, when I’m broken, devastated, at a loss, this song will come on; like she’s hugging and encouraging me.
Man, this song always brings a tear to my eye. I don't sing to many songs but this song, every time. Love your reactions my friend. They reaffirm my love for many songs you have posted. Thank you.
Pink Floyd "Us and Them" would be my suggestion for where you should go next. You've done a song from The Wall and one from Wish You Were Here, and Us and Them is my favorite song from Dark Side of the Moon.
Time, Great Gig in the Sky, Young Lust, Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2, Run like Hell, One of these Days, Hey You and sure why not throw in Careful with that Axe Eugene for some Pink Floyd reaction ideas. and Echoes!
It’s so satisfying to experience these songs all over again thru your reactions. Pink Floyd should be shared and I thank you for that. Can’t wait till you have a chance to experience a full album all at once. ✌️
This right here ladies and gentleman is the only song that could genuinely make you feel not just happiness and sadness at the same time but also deep melancholy emotions about life and how precious we all are. Don’t take your life for granted and just realize how we’re all beautiful and special in every single way you can imagine... Have a fucking kick ass day everyone and just remember you matter 😊
I vote for the binge!
I vote for a binge of the entire Dark Side of the Moon album.
Frank Hughes Agreed. Got my vote. You’re gonna love Pink Floyd Preston.
Binge Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here. Or watch The Wall (the movie they made after they released the album The Wall)
The Wall
Vote from New Zealand for the binge, thank you! (Alterbridge - Blackbird also)

They are artists in the truest sense. It never ceases to amaze me how they can take a collection of (often strange) sounds and turn them into something so beautiful and full of feeling.
Derek Rae Ummagumma is pretty terrible. Not the live disc, but the studio side is bad.
I've listened to this song at least 1 million times. Every time I hear it, my heart changes beat and it sings to my soul.
Pink Floyd's albums are one big song bro. Their tracks bleed into each other. You need to do a Dark Side of the moon album reaction. It would be epic.

Is it to early to mention dark side links perfectly with wizard of oz. Or to watch the movie the wall lol
It's just so different only listening to one song at a time

Referring to his dad that died inWWII
Only his Mum and him alone, together like two
fish......
They referring to Syd Barret, A old friend who left the group by drugs and mentals problems
X is correct. This song is about Syd.
As Is shine on you crazy diamond. SYD
ThejuanchoX not really, roger said in an interview that this song isn’t particularly about someone but Shine On You Crazy Diamond was written about Syd.
The song is obviously about a drug user (did you exchange a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?)
The look on your face is genuine...it takes a ton of talent to touch your soul and David Gilmour can do that with his melodic guitar alone backed with his wonderful lyrics....👍👌
Roger Waters wrote the Wish You Were Here lyrics. Gilmour sand them of course.
Adam Shelby this is true....Gilmour claims the main riff was out of his practice routine so both split the credit....in my opinion Gilmour’s melodic guitar is what made the song that much better....👍
I agree, Gilmour's contribution to the song is immense.
Most important aspect you bring with your channel is you allow us to relive the song from when we first heard it.. your respect for music is special man I thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Absolutely!!!!!!
Been listening to Floyd since the late 70s, possibly my favourite band of all time.
Thank you for this. Wish You Were Here is one of my all time favorite songs. 😀
I really want to see a reaction to the Great Gig in the Sky. The way that Floyd evokes so much passion and feeling with the wordless vocals is nothing short of amazing.
I really appreciate how you listen to every word of the songs you react to. You really feel them. I love watching you experience the songs I have loved for years. And, I love your true appreciation for them. You can't fake feelings, and yours shine through beautifully.
Yes Connie
I am happy for you man!... cause I see Pink Floyd as a wonderful gift that I've got from the music industry, and the gift is for everyone... wishing you to enjoy your new present.
After you'll listen to other materials in the future, you will reach the understanding, that to listen to Pink Floyd the right and the only way, is to hear from the beginning of the album to the end.
Lee Laor Spot on
Been watching and enjoying your reactions for a long long time. You will absolutely lose your mind when you listen to The entire Dark side of the moon album. I won't be the first to suggest you do it all, and no pauses. No one will mind if you don't comment and pause. Get comfortable, let it play, scream out comments as they organically happen, but no pausing just go, we'll all love your journey as you listen trust me.
My daughter and I had this song played at my husband/her dad's funeral as that he used to play and sing this song 🥺 die hard Floyd fan here!! Listen to the meaning of the song and "the great gig in the sky" RIP Ben 😭
I’m sorry to hear about your husband. That is a deep pain that never goes away. Hope you’ve been able to find some peace and comfort where possible.❤
My kids and I also played this and Free Bird at my own husband’s funeral, too. I still tear up when I hear them.
Woohoo. Man first Conformably Numb now Wish You Were Here and last week or so Wings For Marie Part Two. They are three of my top 5 favourite songs of all time. Well done bro. Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Tool are my favourite bands. I'm so stoked you're loving them.
You're channel is awesome bro.

Next for Pink Floyd is "Young Lust"
Dude is so cool watching you react to this songs, is like watching myself when I first listened to them and makes me remember that first delight.
The "Animals" album. All the animal sounds are actually musical instruments. Very trippy album!
Rodger Waters said that this song is about one of its founding members', Syd Barrett's mental breakdown brought on by his copious consumption of LSD (my words, not his). Once it happened, he never returned to the band. He passed at the age of 60 in 2006.
All album is about Syd
So is Shine in You Crazy Diamond.
A lot of their songs were about him, particularly The Wall, which is my favorite album.
Andi Randolph The Wall wasn’t about Syd. It was about Roger becoming burnt out with the situation of himself, the music and the fans.
@@danielkinn7621 actually the character in The Wall it's kinda inspired by Syd in some points
Pink Floyd and Tool. You said it bro.
“dude, I can vibe to this shit!”
Yes indeed, my friend!
You’re gonna love Pink Floyd man. Like you I’m all over Floyd and Tool. It’s thinking man’s music. Led Zeppelin is another one like that.
If you want to get into the zone bro listen to Shine on You Crazy Diamond parts 1-5 and all of Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall.
I especially recommend Dark Side of the Moon. That album was FIRE. Groundbreaking in its time and even now. Theres a good reason Dark Side spent 741 weeks straight in the Billboard top 100. That’s a few weeks over 14 years straight. Also fun fact, that album syncs REALLY well to The Wizard of Oz.
Justin Giovanniello Any recommendations for Led Zeppelin songs outside the well known classics? I've been meaning to dig deeper into their stuff, but haven't gotten around to it just yet.
Bohemen 10 Years Gone is a great one by them
Angel One thank you, friend. I'll give it a listen!
Bohemen I haven’t gone too far deep into their more obscure stuff but I like:
The Ocean, Over the Hills and Far Away, I Cant Quit You Baby, What is and What Never Should Be, Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, When the Levee Breaks (bit I like the A Perfect Circle cover a bit more ;)), The Rain Song, The Lemon Song (live especially! John Paul Jones is FIRE live playing this song).
Then of course there are the radio classics even though I did list one or two of those.
@@caladbolg777 sweet! Thanks man, I'll check em out
All I can say is Amen on Tool & Pink Floyd. They both are an entire moving experience. Please go on a pink floyd binge. Just start with an album and start with the 1st song to last song. I highly suggest "Dark Side of the Moon". It is like an entire experience and story. The album "The Wall" is like that too. Mind blowing perfection. GREAT REACTION! 💓🎤🎼
This album would be great also
@@7475bluesman Indeed it would. 💕👍🏻✌🏼
I can't believe you did a reaction to my all-time favorite song. Hats off Preston
love watching younger people listening some of these old incredible song with powerful lyrics and really get into it
The only way to truly appreciate Pink Floyd is to listen to an entire album. I'd start with Dark Side and work your way through some of their big albums from the 70's!
Definatelty one of the most beautifully written and composed songs of all time! One aspect of a great and timeless song is when the band of course probably has their reason for writing it and meaning behind it, and when we all can listen to it and possibly walk away with our own feelings/thoughts and meaning of it for ourselves. Music is unbelievably powerful! Great video, Thanks!
Pink Floyd and Tool are similar in that they kind of created their own genre. It's really tough indeed to find other artists that are doing\did what Tool and Pink Floyd do.
Check out Pink Floyd comfortably numb live at Pulse. Worth every moment of a re-listen, I promise you.
I knew once I saw this video hit, your reaction to that one lyrics would be epic. You didn't disappoint. Did you exchange, a walk on part in the war, your a lead roll in a cage. Still one of the favorite lyrics ever.
Poetry
This song still brings tears to my eyes. Or me its always been about losing yourself then losing who you really love and there still there but not for you. Classic
This song is about the Pink Floyd band member named Syd Barrett. Through late 1967 and early 1968, Barrett became increasingly erratic, partly as a consequence of his reported heavy use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD. There is also speculation that he suffered from schizophrenia.
But each can interpret it in their own way.
Hey man I know you're learning the guitar now, this is one of the first songs I learned on guitar. Its a really simple riff, but fun to play. You've got great taste in music my friend!
Pink Floyd - Echoes
justzanin the live version
The combo of Roger's lyrics and David's guitar was magic. This is kick back, turn out the lights and drift away music.
yup. Pink Floyd. very, very chill.
in my teens, starting to listen to music out of rap and hip hop, first it was Tool, then it was Pink Floyd. no lie.
Fearless, Time, Sheep, Us and Them, Echoes, Hey You, Learning to Fly, Great Gig in the Sky, High Hopes
The best band in history. And i love this song. I was so happy to see them perform this song live.
lyrics are cool, and deep. but for me its all about the music,. their music takes me where I want to go... BE!! haven't found a band that gives me that vibe , that feeling. david Gilmour is god
Yes, David Gilmour is a god!
King KTF, I have been a fan of Pink Floyd since 1973 when Dark Side of Moon. After listening PF, I was hooked! You just scratched the surface of their materials. History of Pink Floyd: band founded by man named Syd Barret who forced to leave the band after having mental issues. David Gilmour, guitarist, Roger Waters, bassist who left the band in I believed in 1985 after some fall out, Richard Wright, keyboardist who died in 2008, and Nick Mason, drummer. They have other musicians & backup singers on stage during live concert. But Pink Floyd started out as original four. Name Pink Floyd is unique itself. Band is heavily influenced from the blues even though PF known for being progressive. Name is from two Blues men : Pink Anderson & Floyd Council.
your reaction is so close to the experience of listening to songs for the first time, I am a newly addicted sub, cheers :)
PLEASE *SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND*. THAT TRACK ITS GOING TO MAKE YOU FLY
Seconded.
:'( Syyyyyyyyyyyyyyyd!!!!
I think you'd love "While my guitar gently weeps-the beatles
I love your appreciation for art and music. Watching you react to music I've been listening to for over 20 years of my life has made me realize how great that music truly is. It's made me excited to listen to music again. I appreciate your depth of understanding and open mind to all music/ the world around you.
This song never fails to bring me to tears.
The best music reviewer on UA-cam, hands down!!
Agree 200%! Intelligent in general, open eyes to everything and mesmerizing to watch both for entertainment and his breakdown of music at it's core, as people.
I love watching this. Ive heard these songs by these bands sooo many times but watching someone hear them for the first times makes me excited all over again.
One of the first songs I could play on guitar. Love people getting out of their comfort zone of music genres.
Most of their songs were made for you to listen to the entire album. In order. It was the 70’s. Albums were made not as singles. So glad you enjoyed it. It’s probably one of my favorites. They Young Lust from them to see their range. They did it all.
This is my all time favorite song. I spent many days with this tape playing on my walkman at full blast bawling my eyes out.
"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year" That hits my soul man! Another amazing reaction to another amazing song!
"Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" is one of the best penned lyrics in music writing history.
I love watching you react to so many songs I have loved throughout the years. Wish you were here is my all time favorite Floyd song. Was a song I listened to on repeat through a dark time in my life. Love it. Glad you appreciate all the great ones! ❤
Quite possibly one of the most beautiful Pink Floyd songs there is. I also like Brain Damage as well.
MOTHER by pink floydy
Mother is a deep song..very awesome..I wrote all the lyrics down (a long time ago) for my mom for mother's day..she loved it..then I played the song for her..
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Beautiful song.
Mother, should I trust the government?
Live version.
I love peoples reactions when they 1st discover PF. Helps me relive that 1st time too..
It isn't hyperbole to say that dark side of the moon is one of the greatest albums of all time, I still listen to it weekly. Every Friday when I'm done with work for the week I just put it on and melt away for a bit.
It stayed on Billboard charts for 741 weeks.
This is absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time! And I believe my grandma uses this song to send me messages. She passed in 2012. So many times since then, when I’m broken, devastated, at a loss, this song will come on; like she’s hugging and encouraging me.
This song reminds me of my grandpa who passed away in November 2018.
OMG cannot tell you how many times I toked up to this .😎🤘✌️
If you include all us stoners I guarantee there’s been over a million seshes to Pink Floyd songs
Man, this song always brings a tear to my eye. I don't sing to many songs but this song, every time. Love your reactions my friend. They reaffirm my love for many songs you have posted. Thank you.
Pink Floyd/ Hey you, and Another brick in the wall
I wish I could "thumbs up" this video everytime I watch this, if so you would have at least 20 likes from me.
Your heart and mind have been touched by "The Floyd"...You will never be the same again!
Congrats...A binge sounds like an excellent idea!
Do enjoy!!
So glad you love pink floyd. Respect bruddah
Fearless by Pink Floyd is one youd really dig!
Makes me wish I was at a Liverpool FC cup final in the 1980's! Their anthem is the best in the world!
One of the most underrated floyd songs!
Probably my favorite PF song .. brilliant!!
Yes!
coming back to see Preston experiencing this song for a first time is always a treat, thank you my man, wish you all the best
Pink Floyd "Us and Them" would be my suggestion for where you should go next. You've done a song from The Wall and one from Wish You Were Here, and Us and Them is my favorite song from Dark Side of the Moon.
Pink Floyd's ECHOES. Would love to hear what you think about those lyrics... ;o)
I love seeing the exact moment when someone finally “hears” Pink Floyd!! Great reaction vid!! I’m definitely a new sub and FAN!!
Time, Great Gig in the Sky, Young Lust, Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2, Run like Hell, One of these Days, Hey You and sure why not throw in Careful with that Axe Eugene for some Pink Floyd reaction ideas.
and Echoes!
"Learning to fly" next man! Trust me
Hell yes!
Bruce Borneman one of my favs
"Sorrow" will absolutely move you. If it doesn't, you're not human.
@@OldGrumpyDude I absolutely love that song! Great idea!
It’s so satisfying to experience these songs all over again thru your reactions. Pink Floyd should be shared and I thank you for that. Can’t wait till you have a chance to experience a full album all at once. ✌️
Try “Time” from Dark Side of the Moon.
I came to the comment section to tell him this same thing. That is one powerful song.
I saw that grin when the lead guitar kicked in.
This right here ladies and gentleman is the only song that could genuinely make you feel not just happiness and sadness at the same time but also deep melancholy emotions about life and how precious we all are. Don’t take your life for granted and just realize how we’re all beautiful and special in every single way you can imagine... Have a fucking kick ass day everyone and just remember you matter 😊
If you want Pink Floyd, try something from the Syd Barrett era too (“Bike”?); this song was written for him.
There's a division in modern music--Pink Floyd and everything else...
DAMN! you DO love Pink Floyd ! this is the 5th reaction video i've watched of yours....and it's awesome to see and hear the real comments
Pink Floyd The Division Bell is one of the best albums ever recorded from beginning to end.
The “hold on bruh kills” me every time my man that’s hilarious
