"Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage"? One of the most profound lines ever written!!!!
Iconic!
A small part in something monumental or a big part of something irrelevant is what I get from that.
Great I agree but not even the best line in the song. ‘2 lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year.’
When I was younger I thought the lyric was "walk on part in The Wall", which was much more fitting to make the song about Syd.
I always thought it was a leaf growing in a cage. lol
There's a reason Pink Floyd's album Dark Side of the Moon spent 18 years on the Billboard charts. Yes, I said 18 years. The band is beyond iconic.
Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon is back at No. 193, and while that placement might not be terribly impressive, it’s the number of weeks the set has lived on the tally that is truly awesome.
The classic rock release has now racked up an unprecedented 950 weeks on the Billboard 200. No album has ever spent that much time on the chart. In fact, none has ever come even close to doing so.
I just bought it again about 3 months ago
@Tee Rat Me too, I now have 2 copies..one I play and one to keep! Walmart began selling vinyl again and record players!
@@ppiechnik same here I bought an original for 50 dollars for myself for Christmas at a small record store by my house so I had to buy a record player to go with it lol its my 4th album copy.
I read in a music magazine that during most of its run there was a cd facility in Germany that all they did for like ten years was make cd’s of Dark Side of the Moon. During that time if you bought one it probably came from there.
Pink Floyd came along and did something that nobody ever did before, and nobody has done since. They'll listen to Floyd in 100 years like we still listen to Beethoven.
Pink Floyd is a band that’s impossible not to like, it’s like it sends you into a different world when your listening to them, not only Pink Floyd is good but they’re magical.
That song is a tribute to Sid Barrett . A founding member who had recently been institutionalized do to schizophrenia. Whole album is dedicated to him.
Really, all things Pink Floyd center around Syd Barret. Sometimes it's a bit more nebulous than others, but he's always there...
He was never institulionalized. He was also never diagnosed with anything. He went back home used his real name, ROger, and continued creating art until his death in 2006. He was a artist, and his paintings like his music were abstracts, and he never wanted to commercialize either. He did do a lot of acid, yet he was never crazy as Roger Waters would like us all to believe. Waters wanted control of the band and the money and fame, Syd didnt, so Syd being Syd, fucked off and did do a lot of acid, yet he took care of himself and his art. In 2002 he signed 300 books for Mick Rock's book, and he also worked with the band's management on all of the reisssues, at least contacting and giving permission to use his works and some advice on the art for the records.
I dont know the real story of Sid, but I heard that he took an overly strong or just too much acid that did something to him causing his illness. is that true or just speculation I think I heard in a documentary or something? If you know if there is any truth to that let me know.
@@PREPERMIKE2012 He did start taking acid in 65-66 and the crowd he had surrounded himself with were rumored to be spiking his tea and coffee with acid during this period, yet he did live a normal life after 75 until his death of cancer in 06.
Knowing the back story of this song (and many others) being about Syd Barrett - Shine On Crazy Diamond - makes this song so very sad
Back in the 90s, a group of us friends used to get together for barbecues and drinks and Matt would invariably dig out his guitar and play _Wish You Were Here_ and we'd all sing along. He'd play other songs but this was _the_ song that we all joined in on. Our boozing and barbecuing song.
One day at work I got a call from one of the friend group, Annie, informing me that Matt had died that day in a truck accident in the Karangahake Gorge.
Told my boss I needed to take some time, dug out my MP3 player and ear buds, stuck on _Wish You Were Here_ and had a damned good bawl, remembering and missing a good friend.
Still can't hear this song without thinking of Matt, Annie, Jenny and the others and our barbecue nights.
The 90's...Best fuckin decade ever💯💯We drove around and listened to it. Our parents raised us right.
I'm sorry for your loss. Evidently Matt had a great friend in you.
@@19JMT96 Thanks. Matt was an awesome bloke. We all went camping at this place Matt suggested - "not far outside Raglan, short walk from the road."
Bugger me! What a hike! Through private property down through paddocks, partially wooded areas, steep incline... Matt going "not far now", "not far now" every couple of minutes.
Finally got there, an area on the coast, beautiful location, view out across the sea, sheltered area, plenty of places to pitch our tents. Absolutely fantastic... but, "not far outside Raglan? Short walk from the road?" incredulous voices asked.
"Well," said Matt, "if I told you how bloody far it was, y'wouldn't'a' come. Worth it, though, eh?"
And, yeah, it was worth it. Fucking awesome camp. West coast, so we got to watch the sun set across the sea...
It took me years, and at 45 I have surrendered to the fundamental realization, Pink Floyd is the GOAT...hands down.
Who’s still tearing up whenever they hear this song? I know I am - gets me every single time!
Pretty much the whole album
"we're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl" might be their most iconic line ever. Great song. Amber was in total surrender to the music mode! Great reaction!
💜💜
That line and Neil Young's "Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you" are always a real gut-punch.
The lyrics to "Time" always hit me hard. Harder as every year passes, in fact
I absolutely agree. I cant think of another line that is so simple but so deep. Good call.
I love how Amber was swaying to the music🌻🎧
That’s a great description Amber. You don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them. They take you elsewhere for lack of a better word.
Such an amazing experience!
My pops used to say "Pink Floyds music will get you high without drugs!" He wasn't lying!
I think part of why The Floyd gives you that spacey, trippy feeling is that unlike most bands, The Floyd takes their time. They're not in a hurry. They don't care if the song takes 3 minutes or 13 minutes. They have an emotion they want to invoke in the listener. A feeling. An idea. An outlook on life or society. To deliever that kind of message in song takes time, and Pink Floyd knew that and embraced that.
SO TRUE! The only Pink Floyd song that ever felt rushed was "Run Like Hell", and that was quite deliberate because of the lyrical context.
Neither does Metallica they have 10 plus songs that surpass 10 minutes
The Floyd?? Obviously been following them for about a week .
Well articulated and felt!
Shine On You Crazy Diamond is THE song off that album. It’s long- instrumental until the very end, but is a masterpiece for the senses. Pink Floyd IS what we called head music in the 70’s- it takes you places!!
And it ends with an iconic saxophone solo.
An absolute MASTERPIECE.
We gotta do it now!
@@RobSquadReactions you guys do, that song is an absolute trip. One of their best 10/10
@@RobSquadReactions reminds me of AURORA MURDER 5 4 3,2,1 FROM THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE CONCERT 😀 😄 ♥️
Amber knows her bands. Pink Floyd is amazing. 😃
Pink Floyd... the perfect notes in the perfect order. Nothing is ever out of place, you never feel disappointed, it flows.
Every time I hear this song, I have to fight back the tears. This was one of my late wife's favorite songs, and we played it at her funeral. I'm so glad you like it too. Thank you so much. ❤
I have a similar experience. My best friend in college died and this was the song he and I would sing when the guitars came out.
Sorry for your loss
@@sambeauchamp2160 Thank you
What a great and perfect song to play at a funeral of a loved one
My sincere condolences to you and your family.
This and comfortably numb are two of my all time favourite Pink Floyd songs. But with all PF songs, the lyrics just blow me out of the water. So multi-layered and intense.
The lyrics are like sublime poetry. They accompany the music and subliminally write themselves on your heart. But they don’t overwhelm the music, they give you just enough to understand and leave the rest to the music. Just amazing 🙂
Ditto
Yep, they're my favorites too.
Mine too mate. My dad's records 🙌
Pink Floyd defies logic in that they were soooo far ahead of the time, yet their music is timeless.
We’re just two lost souls living in a fishbowl, year after year! Genius!
Amber is a true Floydian
my great nephew played this at his fathers memorial service. He had me in tears. It was a simplified version with just Daniel and his acoustic guitar. God keep you Robert.😪
You should listen to "Shine on you crazy diamond". A masterpiece and my favourite song of them.
Pink Floyd Pulse version of Shine On is my absolute favourite
The live Pompeii version!
When our coaches in high school wanted us to be quiet coming back from a game, they would play Pink Floyd so the whole bus could here it. Everyone went into a daze. Imagine listening to this in total darkness in a bus on a lonely road at 1:00 in the morning coming back from a game.
Pink Floyd as a sedative, nice
Great coach !!!!
I can imagine that for sure , I have been driving roadtrains ( Kenworths and macks etc and up tp to 53.5 meters or 58 yards long for up to 7400 klm per week from one side of Australia to the other and from the top to the bottom on a endless loop for over 3 decades . I've spent a lot of time looking out through a windscreen at deserts etc trying to blow the windows out with Pink Floyd . It's my ''go to'' music when I need to cover a lot of nowhere all through the night .
Sounds like y'all had some awesome coaches !!!!!!
AMAZING
Pink Floyd... the perfect notes in the perfect order. Nothing feels out of place, everything is as it should be. It's mathematical perfection, yet perfectly human.
Jay is a giving man to let us all fall in love with Amber over and over again for a few minutes every time she hears a new Pink Floyd song.
This song just bring tears every single time.. Everyone have that one person that comes to your mind.. try listening their song "Hey you"
💜
Same, the very second the vocals start. Except in my case it isn't a person, it's a dog.
Amen
Amber has the best Floyd reactions: her eyes were closed and she was just going on the trip with them. 😍
That's how we've always listened to Floyd.
The only way to listen to Pink Floyd 💜
Watching a newbie on their journey down the rabbit hole that is Pink Floyd is wonderful.
Everyone should listen to dark side and wish you were hear in a dark room in their entirety at least once in their life
Kind of like we did back in the day!
You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them.
I love that you love and appreciate Pink Floyd.
This is a tribute to Syd Barrett, an early PInk Floyd member(replaced by Dave Gilmour). Barrett had some mental health issues that were exacerbated by drug use. He became unreliable & unpredictable. One night, the band just didn’t pick him up on the way to a gig, and that was it. Another song on WYWH is also a tribute to Barrett, Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Edit- seeing how much you all love Pink Floyd, I think you are ready for Echoes, from the album Meddle. 20 minutes of psychedelic bliss. There are live videos from the Pompeii concerts, but I’d go with a studio version. You will be blown away.
I can’t remember if he was Mason or Wright’s roommate yet whichever one, he’d tell Barrett I’m just going down to the store or some such, and Floyd would go on tour for five weeks and Barrett wouldn’t know the difference: sad.
The whole album is about Syd Barrett.
💜
Saying he had "Some mental health issues" is being quite generous.
@@ncexnyc4466 Yeah, he was fairly functional at first and wrote a lot of stuff for the first 2 albums. Then he started doing a lot of acid and around the same time, exhibiting symptoms that may have been schizophrenia. Too bad. Like Schumann, Van Gogh, etc. underneath that amazing creativity was a bunch of mental health problems.
I'm 60. Got this album when it came out. Hard to pick a favorite of all music, but this is definitely one of the GOATS...
This song holds a very special place in my heart. I sung this song at my 15yr old daughter's funeral. It was hard, but It needed to be so. Thank you for your great reactions.
Wow...how did you get through it? You must have been in a sea of tears...sorry for your loss...and props to you for performing this song on that dark and dreary day...God be with you🙏🏼 and thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family...🙏🏼✌️🥁🎷🎸🎼🎵🎶🎹🎙️🎧👍 ( Peace out )🙏🏼
I’m so sorry for your loss… I cannot imagine. Carrie Underwood, ‘Till I see you again’ helped me through a couple tough times… Kids should watch their parents get old, dang. Good luck, hang in.
Memory eternal
How lucky we are to love something so much it makes it hard to say goodbye.
Fookin ouch wish you the best
I love Ambers passion for the music 😊
Couldn’t click fast enough - One of the top 10 songs of all time.
🤘🏽🤘🏽
Have you reacted to pink Floyds comfortably numb live pulse concert... Its the best bit of live music... Blow me away😍
My son took me to a Pink Floyd concert when I was in my late 50`s. Great concert, great son.
14 years in a row as a top ten selling album a record that will never be broken.
Gotta LOVE David Gilmour’s guitar work AND vocals. Both very distinctive…
Yup- this song is all Gilmore...
@@johnathandavis3693 Well, Waters had a lot to do with it as well, having written most of the lyrics, and I imagine being the one who pushed for the radio noise intro fade in.
The person they are "longing for" is Syd Barrett their original singer, guitarist and lyricist. His story is quite tragic. You should also check out "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (from the same album) which is their tribute to Syd. The song is in two epic sections (book-ending the album). You could treat it as two songs (parts 1-4 and parts 5-9).
I still shed a tear when listening to Shine on you Crazy Diamond. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have listened to this suite but it still affects me emotionally. 🙂
I thought he was the drummer
@@nickbarber3315 nope. Nick mason the drummer is the only member who stayed in the band from the absolute beginning until the absolute end
Kudos for pointing this out. I was about to post basically the same thing. I think it really adds to the power of the tune to know its about a real person and the affects that loss had.
The feeling for Syd on this album, especially "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," touches your soul.
A few days ago I was sobbing to this song; it's one of the best songs for crying to that I know of. It just feels like raw pain. "Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" gets me every single time. And knowing what happened to Syd Barrett makes it all the more poignant. Wonderful video. (Love you forever Savanna, wish you were here)
The recording of Wish You Were Here, set against the backdrop of German concentration camps and a museum with memorabilia from some of those poor souls who lost their lives is absolutely heartwrenching. I cry every time I watch that one! ❤
Almost 200k!!!!! Wow congratulations!!!!! So well deserved.✌❤
Thank you so much Donna it’s all because of our RSR family! Y’all are the best on UA-cam
Amber nailed it! Back in the trippin days Pink Floyd was always a favorite. Rock on.
💜
To my son, Breck, who killed himself 19yrs ago when he was 15yrs old. Wish you were here son. I love & miss you! 💙💙
Love to you. I'm so sorry ❤❤❤
@@dawnhall2400 Thank you!
This song was written for former bandmate Sid Barret. Who left the band due to a drug related illness.
Pink Floyd Pulse.
It’s a live Concert from 94. The version of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” will have both of you closing your eyes & lost in the song.
So will the solo on comfortably numb
My favorite band of all time! Part of this song is the ring tone for my best friend - we're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year! We have been besties for 50 years and much of our adult lives we have lived in different parts of the world or county from each other but have remained besties to this day. I always wish she was here.
This album is one of the best in history. It's 10/10 imo. Every song is perfect and the album can be listened to as a single powerful journey.
"This band makes me feel like I'm on a trip." Amber, you couldn't have explained it any better. Back in the day Pink Floyd were known as one of the most popular "acid (LSD) rock " bands to thrust themselves into the stratosphere! That's exactly why they were known and others as acid rock bands. Their music inspired a lot of the drug culture of the 60s and 70s. Not something to be proud of, but that's the way it turned out. At the same time, their music transcended all of negative context over the years and has emerged as one of the best acts in rock and roll history!
That's the most false description ever lol
Pink Floyd were the lets a do a trip once in our life, psychedelic band,
Syd was used LSD lots then walked away from the Nosie, not surprising really
The rest of the band are "we did it once"
So the first albums are played with LSD in Mind , directed by Syd
But after he left, its just spacey Prog rock LSD inspired, not lets do 300ug and throw a party kind of band
Those making and taking the LSD were all at Traffic, Caravan, Gong, Here and Now, and Man gigs :)
And of course those SF freaks, wherever they visited as well :)
Pink Floyd are an extremely nice band , and I never feel the need to turn off thier music, and always enjoy it
But that false common man false narrative does my head in
Its like I meet Floyd heads and ask what's the Best album and LSD and most say I only did time
I went to The Wall gig , got shouted at by drunk people, whilst I was dancing on LSD
I lost my big brother suddenly on Saturday, and this song really resonated with me today. I'm still in shock.
Very terribly sorry to hear. Hope this song brought you some measure of comfort.
😢🙏🏻❤️
My condolences. 🥀
Praying for you and your loved ones.
Know how you feel, my best man and greatest human being I have ever met passed away a few days ago.... Wish you were here....
The sun will shine again Joanne, it just takes time for the clouds to clear off...
As André would say.... I'm with you.
This song can reach deep into your soul.
For me, it makes me think of close friends from the past who are no longer on this earth.
Exactly. The longing for friends and family that have left the planet and the pain inside because of it.
i grew up with this.... my dad gave me those levels. i miss him more than i can describe
Every time I hear this song I cry. It makes me think of all of the family and friends that are no longer with us, especially my sister and my friend Robert who was a guitar player. He died at 58 (my current age). We had a recording of him playing this song that we played at his life celebration. Talk about bringing down the house. OMG tears everywhere.
Hey guys what's up. So glad you've got back to Pink Floyd. You must react to "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" it's long but worth it. Much love from England 🏴
Coming soon! 💜
@@RobSquadReactions yay, I was so excited that I've finally got a reply from you guys after months of leaving comments. It made my day. Much love from England 🏴
What pretty people you are, what great parents you are. You're some of the best people on UA-cam ❤
This song, like "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" is an ode to the band's founder/lead guitarist/lead singer: Syd Barrett. He was kicked out of the band in 1968, due to his drug use, and obviously increasing mental illness (he would stand on stage not playing, but detuning his strings). On their second album, Syd was replaced by David Gilmour, but showed up in the studio, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he'd already been replaced. He released some solo albums, but his continued deteriorating mental state led to his complete dropping out of public life in 1972. In 1975, out of the blue, Syd showed up in the studio while Pink Floyd was recording this album. But he was in a dazed, unrecognizable state. That imagery of Syd led to much of the lyrics of "Wish You Were Here".
Amber, the person they are missing is Sid Barrett, founder of the band, who sadly took a real bad trip and ended up with severe mental health issues. He was the one who kept the two main writers, and front men, of the band from tearing each other's heads off, and so it's him they both 'wish were here'.
Just check the bands history, David Gilmour joined Pink Floyd after they had to separate with Syd Barret, as Syd's replacement on guitar and vocals. In the beginning of the band Syd Barret was THE alpha male. The musical relationship with David Gilmour and Roger Waters developed afterwards.
One of my favorite Floyd songs! Also suggest Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Comfortably Numb if you haven’t heard them.
This song/album is about 'Syd' Barrett who took a trip and never came back. He passed in 2006. Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett was an English singer, songwriter, and musician who co-founded the rock band Pink Floyd in 1965. Barrett was their original frontman and primary songwriter, becoming known for his whimsical psychedelia, English-accented singing, literary influences, and stream-of-consciousness writing style. Sometimes the truth hurts. I have seen too many people just disappear into their drug of choice. Like Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd.
She's not ready to interrupt at 4.04 - she 's INTO it, she gets it. Anyone interrupting Pink Floyds music does not, the break-up is only a matter of time, if she chooses the walk on part from out of this World, as they are to her :-)
And of course my favorite of all time, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, tribute to Sid Barrett
This song is so special to me, My Dad had this song played at his funeral everytime I hear it I picture him.
I've loved this song for a very long time. When my friend died in high school, his parents had a verse from this song on his headstone and played it at his funeral. It had been raining that morning but when they played this song, the rain had stopped and the sun poked through the clouds. 30+ years later I remember that when I hear this song.
My children ( all rock fans) played this song at their dads funeral. Not a dry eye anywhere!😭😭❤️
Not sure if this has been posted, but this song was one of many that were tribute to an original member Syd Barrett. Not saying the music is not amassing but the was some of their inspiration.
On separate note, one of my favorite bands ever.
Amber has the same reaction i did when I first heard Pink Floyd… lost in the music! It’s absolutely transcendent. The greatest band of all time!!!
Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells, you'll love the video psychedelic music
Not just one of the best PF songs but one of the best songs ever in general.
I played this a million times 30 years ago as a kid ... GOOD music is timeless .. peace
I was never the same after I bought Dark Side Of The Moon album in the mid 70's. It's that kind of band. Just like you said, Amber, it takes you someplace else. One of my all time favorites. The instruments, the vocals, layers.....outstanding.
Just turn it up and melt I to it!
Back then, my friend worked for Billboard Magazine as a summer job in college. He used to bring home so many albums. One day he brought home Dark Side of the Moon from a band we never heard of. We listened to it and were mesmerized, we never heard anything like it. Pink Floyd has been one of my favorites ever since.
I’ve said it a million times but Every single song by Pink Floyd is a whole experience, a whole vibe... every single song, every single time. That’s why it’s my go to meditation band. Dark Side of the Moon is the first 48 minutes of every day for me for the last few years, it just sets the tone for my day and puts my body in balance 👽👽
I may have to do the same 👽❤️
My husband loves this song. He gets choked up when he hears the line about trading a walk on part in the war. For a lead role in a cage. Because it reminds him of his dad. He was a POW for 27 months 17days with the Chinese in the Korean War.
This album works best to listen all the way through. The transitions between the songs are amazing and essential to the experience. This song stared off on the radio after changing stations from the last song. Amazing stuff.
This is my absolute favorite song by them. It's hard to choose a favorite from such an amazing band but it manages to squeak into my #1 slot. The lyrics grab me even more than the music. With Pink Floyd, you should listen to an entire album in order at least once because it tells you so much more about each song than you get listening to them separately.
The song is pretty clearly about a founding member of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, who famously cracked up relatively early on in the bands history likely as a result of latent mental illness and heavy consumption of psychedelic drugs.
It's one of a set of songs that are essentially calls out to him, as he was still alive and living in seclusion, another similar one is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."
He was schizophrenic if I recall
@@nickbarber3315 possibly but never diagnosed as being schizophrenic. He was just really "out there" before the drugs and the drugs made it worse
@@tommears7321 given his age and behavior, he was almost certainly schizophrenic, possibly schizophrenic affective.
@@nickbarber3315 it's entirely possible. He just was never diagnosed with it. But back then not many people were to be fair
@@tommears7321 yep. Especially with the frequency of hallucinogenics.
How could you stop the song before it ended!!!.....oh my heart sunk when the trailing wind exit, just abruptly stopped!! AAAARRRGGGHHH
such a bummer. It's like the power went out during a Pink Floyd song
Pink Floyd is a trip. If you are sober your taking a trip... But if you are high listening to them........... I hope you come back!!!!!
My wife said she played this every night before bed while I was deployed. Sadly she died at the age of 31.left me an 11 year old son to raise. I would play this every night before he went to bed because he said it reminded him of his mother listening to it when I was deployed. Gets the tears 😭 flowing.
God bless you and your boy
Thank you for your service, God bless you and your family
One of my favorite songs ever. Makes me feel 16 again. This song is timeless
When all is said and done Pink Floyd will be your favourite band, forever and ever, and you will listen to them on every phase of you life and that will make you feel good. God
The song was written for their original lead singer Syd Barrett who left the band due to drug issues and mental health. It was essentially an ode to him. Strangely enough after not seeing him for years, purely out of chance or fate, he arrived at the recording studio the day they were recording this song.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd song. 💗
I have heard this song hundreds of times but listening to this morning after a sleepless night all I could think of was my daughter and after the last Christmas we shared. She told me all she wanted was me to make her sugar cookies. Which I did and a great big bowl of cookie dough and gave her money. She gave me a card with money and wrote we are going shopping together tomorrow. That was such a fun day. We lost her a month later. Love and miss her and I wish she was here
7:41 I just saw your comment, and wanted to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss 💔. Your pain jumps off the page, and I hope you have found some comfort from the others in your life that loved your daughter as well ❤️
pink floyd has been my fav band for over 40 years
This is the song me and my husband danced to at our wedding, it was our song. Last year he fell and hit his head, was on life support in a coma. I turned the machine off, told him I loved him and as he left this earth played this song. It was the last thing he heard. I will always treasure pink floyd and this song especially
I got the shirt with the lyrics on it the other day
Good job doing the video for it. While not an official music video for them, this one is still pretty good.
Edit: One thing I have to add here: I turn 55 next month, and Pink Floyd's music has always been in my life. The thing is, I've always loved the "vibe" I've gotten from their music. That said, the older I get, the more the lyrics mean to me. Life experience has brought those lyrics into sharp relief, and of course, the music just enhances it all.
I turn 61 next month, but ditto on the rest.
65 in April. I love that the youngsters are LOVING the music that was our lives back then!
Dude ! I just hit 57, Life would be so different without Pink Floyd, I’ve never stopped listening since I found them in my Buddies basement in the 1980s
I would have been happier without seeng that video. 67 :)
Pink Floyd is on a different level!
I absolutely love how viscerally Amber feels this music. It reminds me so much of how I first responded to Pink Floyd when I first listened to them 35 years ago. I know multiple people have probably already said this, but please watch/listen to the live performance of "Echoes" at Pompeii.
I must have listened to this song 500 times and I like it better each time.
Wyclef recorded a really nice, and respectful to the original, cover of this. Worth a listen.
"Wish You Were Here" along with "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" was a tribute to Syd Barrett, their former member.
It’s been a long time coming for your reaction to “Wish You Were Here” definitely one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. How do you listen to this song and not feel it in your soul…you should try “Hey You” next.
There so far-out' There the Floyd!!!!! you both are beautiful people. Peace out. I'm 72 and I still get lost in their world when I want to take a music trip.
Us and them, pink floyd will take you on an awesome trip. Amber you will love this one! Looking forward to this reaction
Pink Floyd always paints a soundscape you can follow in your mind; a total astral trip without psychotropics. True masters of Progressive Rock.
Amber, I believe the word for PF's music that you're searching for is "transcendant". This album (also titled "Wish You Were Here") is an absolute masterpiece. Also on this album is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (9 parts, 1-5 opens the album and 6-9 closes it out).
This song was one of several written about/to Sid Barrett; the founding member of Pink Floyd. Another is "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"
I'm with you Amber. My all time favorite group
This is such a beautiful song. Others have mentioned how it was about Syd Barrett and the guys just missing their friend. The neat thing I learned from David Gilmour is that the idea behind the guitar at the beginning with the tinny sound- it's supposed to be someone playing guitar along with the radio.
Floyd is about as Perfect as a band Can be...Nobody is like them
Wish you were here and shine oon you crazy Diamond were two of my favorite Pink Floyd Songs...I remember getting stoned when I was young and on a warm summer night staring into the night sky on a lounge chair and listening this album with head phones on....Always felt that was the best way to listen to it.....
Floyd has been helping me escape my problems since the 70s..... thank God for Floyd!
