    I'd say there are two main reasons why Pink Floyd doesn't blow your socks off. First as you admit lyrics don't interest you I'd say you would miss out on a lot of Pink Floyd's appeal. They're very lyrically driven (especially songs where the writing is driven by Waters rather than Gilmore). The instruments often play a role as a reflection of the emotions contained within the lyrics (young lust is a pretty good example). Second, I suspect you're mainly familiar with their hits and therefore might listen to them a stand alone songs. As a pretty big Pink Floyd fan I'll admit their songs, particularly the hits, can be a bit "Meh" when listened to individually. I'd argue that Pink Floyd's albums are written to listened to as a whole in a single sitting. The albums tend to carry far more weight than the sum of their parts. Their songs are kind of like chapters within a book the themes of which become more and more interlinked as the album progresses. In fact some of the late songs in their albums (e.g "The Trial" on "The Wall") really do not work on their own but are borderline genius within the context of the album. If you want a less mellow and more instrumentally driven album I'd highly recommend "Animals". This album is seriously underrated and possibly my personal favorite of theirs. PS. I am a sober Pink Floyd fan.

    • @BecomeTheKnight
      @BecomeTheKnight  6 років тому +95

      I'm familiar with more than their hits, but not much beyond it. I've tried listening to a few of their albums from back to front and Dark Side was the only one I made through the whole way (got interrupted on the others). Idk, I really think your point about me missing a lot by not absorbing the lyrics goes a long way to explain why they aren't my thing. I listened to a few songs from Animals. Apparently most of you believe that's the one I REALLY need to listen to haha. Thanks for the feedback \m/

    • @definitelynotofficial7350
      @definitelynotofficial7350 6 років тому +14

      Me too! I've been depressed to various degrees for quite a few years, and some of the lines in the song are just... completely in tune with what I'm feeling.
      "There is no pain you are receding [...] you are only coming through in waves, your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying" (sometimes people give me shit for being completely unable to listen to what they're saying)
      "When I was a child
      I caught a fleeting glimpse
      Out of the corner of my eye.
      I turned to look but it was gone
      I cannot put my finger on it now
      The child is grown,
      The dream is gone.
      I have become comfortably numb."
      It's just so resonant. And then there was that girl I was in love with that also loved this song and I now when I listen to it her beautiful face comes to my mind and sometimes I get really, really sad... Sounds super mellow I know. But I can't help it.

    I love Pink Floyd and I do not use drugs to enjoy it, The part I love is how Gilmore plays very melodic and his guitar licks they are simple but very powerful. The way we listen to music today is very different from the past. Everything was surround sound if you listen to dark side of the moon on your laptop its bland. But if you listen to it on surround very different but with all this said thanks for posting the video it was very interesting :)

      "Surround" in what way? It was either mono or stereo. You mean that the sound was "leaping out" of the speakers when listening to a vinyl record? Sure, I agree, but considering Mike's equipment in the back of this video I doubt he listens to music on shitty laptop speakers. I personally prefer old Pink Floyd with Syd Barett than the later Floyds.

      Ishan Kumar However, this song is not about happiness. It is in fact the opposite.
      It's actually about a PTSD victim who is numbing out his emotions with his heroin addiction, and is completely out of this world because of it.
      You'll understand that song even more if you watch The Wall. (1982)
      Just be warned, there is a lot of symbolism, sexual scenes, violence, gore and very trippy imagery...
      That's the entire point of the movie though.

    But seriously, like others have said, it's refreshing you can acknowledge their talent despite your own tastes. I discovered Pink Floyd in a heavily depressive state, so it really spoke to me and will always have a special place in my heart. I can totally understand not being able to get into them though. TRANSITION! I just came from your music 101 video...I'm self taught and have graduated from beginner to guitar center pentatonic shredder. Can you recommend some decent books, youtube channels, or other resources to gain a further understanding of music theory so I can graduate to novice music snob?

I clicked on this video, because I thought that's what this video was going to be about. I mean, they had 7 albums before "Dark Side of the Moon", and before David Gilmour, there was Syd Barrett.

    I'm one of those rare "sober" Pink Floyd fans. I frigging love PF, and I'll honestly admit that Roger Waters has a god awful voice. I think that in any other band it would not work at all. I remember when I first discovered them, I was so blown away by all the "radio stuff" then I bought Animals, their most under rated album, IMHO, and it was just so different than anything else I'd ever heard before. I dunno, maybe you should check it out.

      Mike Dunphy I'm 16 so legally I'm a sober fan. I always knew the hits from pink Floyd but I had never listened to one of their albums but one day my brother started playing the wall from start to finish and it is one of my most memorable experiences. And animals is really underrated. The guitar harmonies in dogs is too good.

      @Stryfe114 6 років тому +9

      No, I'm not hating at all, and yeah, they way I typed it, it does come across that way. I love Waters' voice, and maybe god awful was a bit harsh. I really don't know how to describe it, it is very raw and powerful. (The ending part of Hey You proves this.) His lows are good, but something is just 'off' (for me at least) when he tries those highs. For his solo stuff and the Floyd stuff, it works. Perfectly. But, in any other style, I just don't know if it could come off the same way. Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands, so, I know it's not that bad. ;)

    • @Stryfe114
      @Stryfe114 6 років тому +7

      That's about how old I was when I first started listening to them regularly. Iron Maiden and Floyd made my high school years so much more enjoyable. (I'm 46) Sheep is probably my favorite track on that album just because of how out there it gets.
      By the way, if you haven't already. Listen to Floyd with headphones on. They like to utilize the multichannel effects a lot.

    I went to see David Gilmour last year in Germany. Couple of weeks later, I saw that there were some tickets left for his show at the Royal Albert Hall which would be at the next weekend. So I spontaneously flew to London to watch his show. And it was just awesome. Looking forward to seeing Roger Waters, too.
    It's great that even though, you aren't a big Pink Floyd-Fan you appreciate and acknowledge the distinctive work they did put in their albums. If only everyone would be so open minded about music as you are. Many people seem to forget that most musicians of that time had to experiment to get those exceptional sounds which modern musicians are able to replicate by just pressing a button on a computer. I'm not saying that those artists aren't able to produce great music, it's just that some tend to forget to appreciate the work that went into musical productions back in the day (speaking of those "youtubestar gone music" kind of people, for example).
    Keep up the good work!

    The opening of Time is actually genius. For those of you who may not know, when listening to music your heartbeat can sometimes synchronise with the beat of the song and so if you were to listen to Time the opening of the song would increase your heart rate, building adrenaline and getting you more excited for the song.

  • @iamboomer.4673
    @iamboomer.4673 4 роки тому +6

    The reason people love shine on you crazy diamond (me included) is because of the story behind it,it talks about syd barrett,he was the guitarist of pink Floyd before david ghilmour joined ,and the song talks about him,because ,as the story goes,he went crazy over heavy use of lsd,and one day,he decided to pay them a visit while they were recording the album,but when he came in,they didn't recognize him because he's gotten overweight, bald,and would shout random words for no reason ,but then when they found out who he was ,they were heart broken from what their friend became ,and that is detailed through the lyrics,also the song is amazing.

    Comments:
    - I do agree 💯 with the idea of enjoying a band sober while intoxicated/high, and I agree fully that their fans are too much into the high culture, thankfully Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands in both landscapes
    - Ironically I'm quite the opposite...the harmonies can be quite amazing on certain songs, but it seemed like most of their stuff was Harmony (Heck, Time sounds like an early draft of Comfortably Numb), but I prefer their hard rock moments (For the record, I even agree with The Grateful Dead comparison, and I don't even like them!)
    - I can agree with Production being the Pink Floyd signature, because even for a mainly acoustic song like "Mother" it sounds like PF and nothing else
    - STEVE WILSON SHOUT OUT HOLY HELL
    - I can't imagine being that age and being touched that much by the music, not because it's not possible (it clearly is), it's just scary as hell, and the first thing I always think of in that scenario is the music video for Johnny Cash's "Hurt"
    - No arguments on the Comfortably Numb solo, it's just the lyrics though that will always stand out...my first time into "dark lyrics" was the scream in the beginning of the second verse and how they intertwined it...was my first exposure to genuine music
    - Personal Opinion: There is actually good pop music, just like with any genre though, sometimes you need to dig deep (Yeah, to constantly hear the elders saying today's music has no meaning just irks me, because mainstream doesn't mean all stream)
    - I will agree the Fine Bros dropped the ball with not showing a live performance
    - I actually would not recommend Pink Floyd off the bat. Start Slow before hitting the main events
    - Finally, I completely agree with grabbing the elders for this react before any other group they have
    - "Who The Hell is Roger Waters?" *jaw drops*

    Another Brick in the Wall (part 2) is probably my least favourite of the selection. It is to Pink Floyd as Walk of Life or Wind of Change is to Dire Straits and Scorpions. A huge commercial success, but not very representative of the back catalogue of the band. As a teetotal and more or less life long fan of the band, I can testify to the fact that you do not need to have your circuits fried in order to enjoy the music ;)

    I totally agree to what you said about the right time, my step father was and still is a Pink Floyd fanatic and i remember when i was younger listening to their music in the car and thinking how could he like that. Just recently I got an urge to listen to their music again, and it touched me in a way no other music has ever had touched, and right after listening to 4 albums and crying my soul out to some of those songs, I called him and my mother and I told him "how the hell have I been missing out on this, and how could I not like their music back then, because right now I feel like I just discovered what music can do to you in the most extreme way, and I've never felt that before" and he just said exactly that, you become enjoying their music when the time is right, and right now is the most wonderful time for you to discover this. So grateful to have him in my life and also for just now discovering the world of Pink Floyd, i don't think the time could be more right.
