Same Craig … 13 laying on the floor near the stereo cabinet with headphones on … I’ll be 63 in February… 50 years past I think I will do the whole album the same way And yes it hits home way more now!!!
@@craigdoriety9798 I remember how cool this song was when I was 14, and now at 38 I actually understand what they mean about time passing you by in the blink of an eye
Well Dan as we said in the 60's I dig man. I hope you would agree. I think it is a mournful longing that is invoked by Gilmour. A melancholy self-reflection.
It's those crazy bends he does. He's said he has lots of strength in his fretting hand, but not a lot of speed. So he uses the bends to give his solos impact rather than speed and technical prowess.
I was 21 when I first heard this track in 1973 and didn't really appreciate the importance of the lyrics. When you're that age you believe you'll live forever. Now I'm 71 those lyrics are so so true and have become very poignant. Those 51 years have gone like a flash and you have the feeling you've not relished every minute. Anyone reading this and just starting on life's journey, take heed and don't wish and waste it away, there is no sequel.
Ten zegar jest jeden na całym świecie .tak jak wiatru nie widzimy ale czujemy go tak tego zegara nie widać lecz czas u tego zegara nie zatrzymamy ani nie cofniemy jeśli nie było by czasu to nie było by życia ani śmierci
The older you get, the more meaning there is to this song. I am now 54, and I can't help but wonder how these guys, who were in their 20's at the time of writing this song, could be this insightful at their age? Going right into "Great Gig In The Sky" would be my suggestion for your next Pink Floyd listen. If you thought this song had an impact, you will be awestruck at Great Gig In The Sky!
As a fellow 54 year old, this song kicks me harder in the guts than it did when I was a teen listening to this album lying on the floor in my bedroom. But it kicked me hard in the guts then. I so wanted to be dead long before now, and now I am not sure what the heck I've been doing for four decades. I was busy I know, but what the eff did I do? Great thoughts before I try to go to sleep. 😀
"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around, to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death." Some of my favorite lyrics ever written.
@@JupiterThunder Amused to Death is actually more about life, and not ww2, and madness only in a very relative sense. Radio KAOS is also very different. Thats kind of a cliche that thats all he wrote about. Welcome to the machine, have a cigar and on.
“You run and you run to, catch up to the sun as it’s sinking…racing around, to come up behind you again….the sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older….shorter of breath and one day closer to death.” As a 21 yo in the Army in 1974, me and my buddies used to get stoned on Thai stick or hash and listen to the whole album while staring at black light posters!😅 There are a lot of reaction channels out there but you have real insight and can really feel the message Pink Floyd is relaying to it”s audience.
@@timthompson4097 thanks 👍for your update... I heard that once on the radio....ya know before the net back in the 90s...and some others bands eventually took the spot...700ish week though that's like 14 +years...l like your update and hope you're right cuz they deserve it 👍 tx
Best Rock Album of all-time imo. And this the best song on it. But to really grasp its brilliance, you have to listen to it end to end. With headphones. In a dark room. They are the best at conceptual albums.
Seems to me, when we were kids, days lasted forever. Summer off from school seemed like an entire year. Then as you grow older and responsibilities accumulate, time kind of speeds up. Days, weeks, months, years seem to fly by and there is nothing but eat, work sleep then repeat. This song is brutally honest.
@@1bigrowdy I can't wait to retire...I've got a million things to do that work just gets in the way of. If I could spend eight hours a day working on what I love, I'd get so much more done that has actual meaning to me.
Yup, life flies by to quickly. I have no regrets. i have been married for 35 years with five children. I have a beautiful/wonderful wife. I have incurable cancer, I just wish the clock would slow down for a wee while.
Hi I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan. Seems that it makes you emotional as well. It's nice to see that I'm not alone in my emotional connection to Pink Floyd. They do get to your sole. Love your reaction to them❤️
Gilmour's solo in this song is one of my all time favorites. So many guitar solos sound so technical, here's the obligatory scale shredding, bends, pinch harmonics. So many solos seem to just check boxes. Gilmour's solos are just as much a vocalist as the members of the band. This solo sounds like the musical translation of the lyrics. It tells a story of someone going through life and coming to terms with the limited time we are given.
There is a reason why Dark Side has been on the Billboard top 200 for albums for 962 weeks as of February 2022... That's 18.5 years. It is a masterpiece. Even if it's not a reaction... Next song to do is Great Gig in the Sky but if you do it, try to que up the last 20 seconds of Time first and let it flow into Great Gig... Personally I think the studio version of Great Gig is better than the live version.
Even Pink Floyd believes that that one session on the album was somehow special and wont ever be equalled. And they have tried. It is one of those music magic moments that was fortunately recorded.
@@radbarij Check your sources, people. She did two-and-a-half takes and the vocals on the final track were stitched together using bits from all of it. That doesn't take away from how amazing the track is though - just goes to show that a performance doesn't have to be 100% live and untouched to be incredibly moving.
@@silly_programme5061 Yup... Pink Floyd is great because they ENGINEERED their sound in studio. While being more loose in live, BUT using sample to try to give the "studio feeling" because what was engraved on those disc was a COMPLETE work of art... It was the music as melody, arrangements, story telling, mixing, emotion controlling, a cover design, "documentary" style with samples from interviews... It's like swiss watches clockwork... It's not JUST performing live. And when it's live it's so the crowd experience a SHOW, not to do some acrobatics stuff or virtuosity show off... So much for "published lives" which are heavily edited (for the best), to have "the best version ever" no one ever heard live in fact :) (yes, I'm talking about the infamous Pulse C-Numb solo...). And that's why they are my favorite band: they (from Syd) are visual ARTISTS before being musicians, they thought their work as "more than music"... They made some form of "art" with music as the main conveyor, but poetry, visual, "mechanical" art, whatever, they wrote "art shows". More like movies or Broadway musicals or Opera... "that" kind of experience. BTW: it's said that Roger W. does a lot of playback during his shows, but it's not what matters, it's all about the "show-with-a-story/concept", not a "singer demo" performance. "Woops I did it again: it hit me one more time..." Sorry if I was lousy, I'm French and even in French it's hard for me to explain what I mean, but I guess the "bleeding hearts and the artists" around will understand.
Trust me Aileen. This song means even more when you listen to the entire album "Dark Side Of The Moon". I know, as this reaction says, you don't have a lot of time to spare. But if you do ever get chance, please listen to the whole album. Not for a reaction, but for yourself and in your own time. It's worth it and it will move you to tears. It's a masterpiece.
I agree with these people. Most Pink Floyd albums are better listened to as a whole. While they're not all technically "concept albums", they were one band that kept a certain feel and theme that changed every album.
she is a kid ...... they do not have that reaction or feeling ............ they fake it for UA-cam and Twitter ........ they wanna listen to Millie Vanillie and Justin Timberlake and whatever black moron pretending to rap .... that is it !!! Sad ,,, but true :( !
This album was on the billboard 200 list for 950 WEEKS! Consider that, only thriller was on longer. This entire album is quite possibly the greatest thing ever recorded.
I'm English, 60 ys old and have loved Pink Floyd for most of those years and especially this song. I always thought of the ticking clocks and alarms at the start of the song were for effect and not as a "Wake Up Call!" Wow! Thank you for picking up on that and sharing. I loved your reaction.
Yep. I've hit my 60s too, how did that happen? In my schooldays I remember being in my bedroom hearing Dark Side of the Moon on repeat in complete wonder. This takes me right back and it's still absolutely brilliant
Dark Side of the Moon is an album that was designed to, and absolutely must, be listened from start to finish. So many recurring themes throughout. It’s a masterpiece.
@@skumflum3768 I'd tend to agree, though I believe 'Money' was the track that was chosen to be a single. Which may be because - and why - it doesn't really 'fit' with the mood of the rest of the album.
The first time I heard this song was way back in the early 80s and every year I listen to it hi tend to shed a few more tears. Life seems long as it’s happening but it’s getting shorter with each day as expressed in this song and now at the age of 50 this song means so much more to me than it did at the age of 11. It’s the cycle we all go through, the closeryou get to the end the more you start to contemplate that.
This album is the soundtrack of our lives from the very beginning to the very end. Gotta admit it took me years to understand this album but when it finally did, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Have been listening to this album since I was 13 when it came out in 73’ , the line “ shorter of breath and one day closer to death “ seemed so far away at the time now 63 in a couple of months and it makes more and more sense , feels like it was yesterday !
Same for me. It was an incredible time to be growing up. The music we had was so amazing. In a kind of related way, we really didn't appreciate how great it was.
I've listened to this song since it came out in '73. For 50 years I thought I was the only person who was deeply moved by it. Now I know I'm wrong, and it feels good. For me the meaning is deceptively simple: It's OK. Everybody gets old. Everybody feels regrets. It's OK. There is something greater that will make it worthwhile. The guitar solo then reveals it. Rising quickly at first, promising more, then pulling back to let you catch your breath, then higher, then pulling back, and finally revealing -- briefly -- a glimpse of something so eternally beautiful it defies words. But we can't stay here, not for long, and one must return to the here and now. So the solo then descend gently back to the present, like a falling leaf, and the all the daily troubles and regrets no longer seem so overwhelming because you've experienced a taste of the eternal. And then finally back home, now much older, the appreciation of life's simple joys -- "warm my bones beside the fire" -- brings us back where we started a lifetime earlier, but now far wiser and finally accepting of what comes next.
I never read such an astute description of what that song means to me. You put into words what my feelings are about that song, about life and certainly about getting older and realizing that, after all, I am not invincible like I was thinking when I was 18yo but accepting that there will be an end and that we have to prepare mentally for it. Very good
With every successive year, what this song means to me, what it evokes, has continually changed.. year 38 and I can't listen without getting choked up, these days
I would never do that, it would totally ruin it, I never overplay any songs/albums from any band, I only play this album 3-5 times a year to keep it fresh I do that with all the bands I live but that’s just me I like to always it up and keep things fresh
@@hank35682 I've listen to it, at LEAST once a day for YEARS... And it was a bit more than 25 years ago... And I still listen to it quite often, it could be daily sometimes, and it's not ruined at all... And if I do "just that" experiencing the full experience, instead of playing it while I work, it's each time more intense... I mean it's heavy on my emotions. Heavier while time passes. That said, we might have different reaction with music, and I can't say it does the same to everyone. It's just that I'm one of the ones who have experienced massive daily play of this album, and just can't get enough of it...
I’ve been listening to this song for 50 years and it always makes me stop and listen. The ticking at the beginning never struck me as a heartbeat, to me it always seemed to symbolize the seconds of your life relentlessly ticking away.
I started following Pink Floyd at the age of 14, now I'm 64 and their songs continue to move me. Themes with magnificent music and very deep lyrics. The Album "The Dark Side of the Moon" or "The Wall" are two musical masterpieces. I would recommend you listen to the "Pulse" concert where you can find jewels like "Hig Hopes" with David Gilmour bordering on perfection with his magnificent solo, and Speaking of Pulse, comment that on one of the two DVDs, Pink Floyd completely play his for my work Summit "The Dark Side Of The Moon" I love your reasoned reactions. Best regards
A hundred years from now people will still be awestruck by Pink Floyd and David Gilmore, basically a modern classical music that will be ageless for centuries much like Bach and Beethoven. All of their music was masterfully orchestrated and crafted to be enjoyed by all age groups young and old.
The last verse is actually a reprise of the earlier track "Breathe (in the air)" and although "Time" is just awesome the it transitions directly into "The Great Gig in the Sky" just adds even more. Definitely HEADPHONES and definitely have Lyrics to hand😉
When you are done reacting to the individual songs you need to sit in the dark with a glass of wine and listen to the entire album start to finish without stopping. It is a life experience.
@@malcolmplatt3768 dunno what it was all I know that it was 105ug and when I say back I felt myself get transported into like a void or something, but I was able to see the music being played, like I could see soundwaves. That shit was super wierd but one of the best experiences ever, I just let myself slip away and saw the whole story play out in my head in space.
You are the 1st reactor I have seen with your heart/ pulse monitor on screen, gives a clear indication of how you are reacting to whatever you are listening to or watching 👍👍👏👏
I couldn't have said it better..you my friend understand music..its a sight for sore eyes to see a video about music that dont just hear it..but feel it on soo many levels.. instantly subbed
The album "Dark Side Of The Moon" revolves around a central theme that binds each of the songs and which is: (What drives people crazy). (BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy. (ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy. (TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy. (THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the thought of the inevitable end (death), can drive people crazy. (MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy. (US AND THEM); If the abusive hierarchy between color, power or wealth between US AND THEM can drive people crazy. (ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy. (BRAIN DAMAGE); If the fear of losing their mind can drive people crazy. (ECLIPSE); If the fact that our life seems to be limited to, (All that you touch - And all that you see...) can drive people crazy. So, we can conclude that even the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the Dark Side of the Moon.
so well explained! Excellent conclusion of the collection of themes tied together on the album. Thanks for being somebody that cares to listen and experience this album.
Hey, i’m asking myself how you come to the conclusion, that the Album is actually about things in life that „drive people crazy“ and not just a philosophical perspective to the most essential things in life?
@@carlderkafer6525 Here is how I come to this conclusion, simply through my reading. It's a quote from David Gilmour: "We sat in a rehearsal room... and Roger came up with the specific idea of dealing with all the things that drive people mad." [Pink Floyd: A Visual Documentary, by Barry Miles] And a quote from Roger Waters: "We thought we could do a whole thing about the pressures we personally feel that drive one over the top... the pressure of earning a lot of money; the time thing, time flying by very fast; organized power structures like the church or politics; violence; aggression." [Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey, by Nicholas Schaffner]
The musical interlude that follows this song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever to be recorded. *The Great Gig in the Sky* is an instrumental masterpiece with a lyricless vocal performance that literally makes me start to cry when I hear it. *Us and Them* is another one that is profound and haunting, and beautiful. The entirety of Dark Side of the Moon is sonic perfection.
My best friend and I used to get together each year on this albums release date - 1 march (1973) - and listen to it . haven t been able to do that in quite some time but it was fun . this had such a huge influence on an entire generation , and more
I found this song when I was probably about 16 and it has meant so much to me since I first heard it. I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, and I felt so pressured by society to have it figured out as soon as I finished high school. When I first heard this song, it felt like Pink Floyd was literally speaking to me. Directly to me. "Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown... Waiting for someone or something to show you the way." The next few lines hit me deeply. 10 years from 6 to 16 had flown by, even though it felt like forever during those years, and I realized that this is what it's going to be like every decade from then on. There's so many emotions this song can make you feel--so many things it can make you realize with each listen. Time really is a weird thing, and I'm only 20 now. In a way, I'm really lucky to have heard, felt, and experienced this song at a young age. It was a wake up call to do what really matters to me and not fall into a 9-5 office job that I'd sincerely hate. This song will always be in my list of top 5 greatest songs and has changed my life forever.
Its so nice to see an intelligent young person doing reaction videos. A lot of the young people are just vapid in their reactions like they are brain dead. You are eloquent and insightful and a true pleasure to listen to.
Roger Waters is an incredible storyteller. The whole band was wildly ahead of their time. The soundscapes they create are so beautiful and evoke so many emotions. To this day I feel like the production and engineering can be put along side anything that uses all the new fancy technology, and it will hold up. The whole Dark Side of The Moon album should be experienced.
I spent hours listening to all these albums as a teenager...I'm now 58 and I'm still learning from these songs! The power of metaphor - and with great music!
I grew up listening to this .. LOVE Pink Floyd! Watching You watch these songs, I can tell how deep and warm your soul is. You actually GET this and I appreciate it, more than you'll ever know! Thank You!! ❤
This song flows into “Great Gig in the Sky” listening to that song will give another dimension to Time. Studio version is a must, with Clare Torry as session singer. Edit: what you said about wanting to be 18 or older, listen to “High Hopes” live Pulse version, this song is about your youth and wanting to grow older…but….once you’re there.
Not only does this song make you rethink TIME! Your debrief of this song and it's important message is so eloquently and simply broken down that it actually made me consider my thought pattern on my life. Your words do have an impact in a positive way! Really appreciate your channel.
This is my first visit to your channel. I am so impressed by your enthusiasm and respect for the music and its place in our culture and history. You have a good streak of curiosity, too, and handle yourself very well. Thank you for this one and your Black Sabbath- War Pigs reaction, which I also watched.
Saw them back in 1994 for the Division Bell tour. There was no other band. They played over three hours with only one break and this whole album was played which hadn't been done live in 20 years. That was and will be the best concert I will ever see🙂
@@edwinbennett4611 -- Yes! You must be Psychic. I was at the actual first show that sold out in 9 minutes or so and they added a second show. It was weird. However, we were the one's that got to hear the whole 'Dark Side Of The Moon' album in it's entirety. Something that hadn't happened in 20 years. Best show I ever saw barr none. Peace!
I thought so. I drove up from Missouri, had already seen them in KC. They played the set that opened with Astronomy Domine in KC. We only had tickets for the second night in Detroit, I was disappointed they opened with Shine On You Crazy Diamond instead of Astronomy Domine, they must have done that on the first night. When they started playing DSOTM, I was really surprised they were playing so many songs from it, I kept thinking wow that's cool they played that, but they won't play this... but they did every one. I didn't even realize they were playing it in order and in its entirely at the time. Heard David Gilmour interviewed years later. They asked him if any particular show stood out as a favorite of his, I didn't expect him to name a specific one... he answered 2nd night in Detroit 1994, we played the Dark Side of the Moon album all the way through for the first time in 20 years ! We witnessed something very special that night. I'll never forget it. I really regret not seeing the show the night before, definitely would have if I'd known there were different sets. I saw them in 1988 in KC too, but I agree with you, that 2nd night in Detroit was the high water mark of all the concerts I ever went to.
I might have the nights mixed up, I thought we saw the 2nd, but it was definitely the one that had the entire dark side of the noon album. That makes it even worse if it was the 1st night, because we should have stayed over and seen the 2nd show too.
Worth watching the 'making of' documentary to be amazed at how they produced this astonishing album before sequencers, computers, and digital synthesizers even existed. Great reaction!
I grew up with the Floyd in the 70's and never get tired of Dark Side of the Moon, it's timeless. I could relate to the lyrics even when I was a young teen because they were forward thinking and I knew some day the stories would apply to me. You have to check out Meddle and Wish You Were Here also, I still get emotional listening to this stuff.
Omg. Girl, I'm 55yo now & your taking my advice 'word 4 word' out of my heart & passing it to others on a platform I cannot reach. I'm the 1 that didn't hear the 'Starting gun' . Your young enough to make the change & love your creating awareness for our time together ❤️
I am 62 now and miss sometimes the moments of my memories and I wasted time a lot! For example: I hear this song for more than 40 (FOURTY!) years and loved it from the first second. But I NEVER HEARD IT (really), because I DIDN'T LISTEN to the lyrics as well (I'm german, but with a fairly good knowledge of English). TODAY (21.04.2024), really, I listened THE FIRST TIME REALLY and recognized the profound, even philosophical meaning of the text. For approximately 44 years I ran BLIND through this world!!! What a waste of time... :o)
I know reaction videos are normally one track at a time but if ever an album needs to be listened to in its entirety it’s this one, maybe you could do a full album review like you did with the latest Rammstein album or even one full 45 min reaction… that would be so cool
I was a young teen back when Momentary Lapse of Reason came out and I was blown away by Pink Floyd. Then I listened to DSOTM and I was even more impressed. Same for Animals, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here. Truly the latter three are the best albums in my opinion. The others have great songs, but for cohesive album "rock operas" those are the top 3 of all time.
Hi coming from Nottinghamshire England I was listening to PINK FLOYD when i was growing up Now Aged 66 i am still listening to this AWESOME Group Dark side of the moon was Twenty five years in the U S Album Charts for 25 Years What more can I say 👍👍👍👍👍 all the best
A very clever thing about Pink Floyd is that they leave space for all of the instruments and parts. Listen to that intro again, nothing trips over anything else. it's put together with absolute precision. Musicians don't know when to stop playing, they want to be in every bar.
One of their best songs from one of the top 5 albums ever. It will be forever relevant and listened to for generations to come. Also try them Live at Pompeii, Echoes is unreal there and is in 2 parts, make sure you do both. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
@@PotawatomiThunderNew That used to be my preference but it is a hard sell to get reactors to listen to the same 20+ minute song, no matter how good. It sure would make sense to try and hear the original first but Echoes is so good, for instance, the version in Gdansk was the last time David played it with Rick Wright and he and Gilmour sure have the same old magic there. With Floyd. Zeppelin, the Who, etc the studio is guaranteed to be the proper mix and pristine sound. Live stuff can vary greatly, for better and some times worse. That Pompeii show has other worldly sound and some of their very best improv. Can't go wrong either way. Enjoy! 🎸
Aileen, you may not realize it, but you are doing very important things in life by being such a quality human and introducing masterpieces of music, like “Time” to a younger generation who have no idea what they are missing. Thanks for what you do. You are heartwarming and I really enjoy listening to you.
I enjoy every word in your reaction videos your words are uplifting and refreshing like a cool drink of water and I find time. No pun intended. Every day to catch you on u tube. OH. That little eye brow lift is a charming part of your bubbly personality. Please keep up the good work. I'm addicted
this masterpiece has so many layers that come through, through time- the older you get, the more they expose themselves- but on the superficial layer, this song is about a persons life, from the conception at the beginning of the song with the clocks, through childhood, adult hood and finally death (coming home, the tolling of the bell being the funeral).... this song jarred my perception when I was younger, made me realize to embrace and appreciate the time with my loved ones, especially the elders... and it brought me so much peace when my elders left in that I had no regrets of not spending time with them-
'73 seems to be some sort of temporal junction...DSOTM, The Smoker You Drink, Let's Get It On, Innervisions, There Goes Rhyming Simon, Mind Games, Billion Dollar Babies, A Passion Play, Houses Of The Holy, Band On The Run, Brain Salad Surgery, Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Leh nerd Skin nerd', Piano Man, Greetings From Asbury Park, We're An American Band, A Wizard A True Star, Tres Hombres, Quadrophenia, Selling England By The Pound, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Desperado... From there the 70s blew up!!! Greatest decade in history from 73 to 83 for music...
The level of genius in Floyd songs are both simple and profound. They're the only the band that can illicit every emotion, sometimes simultaneously. Edit: Still listening in 2023
This brings back a lot of memories. I grew up in the '90es and I remember being totally dissatisfied with that music, so I started digging and digging till i found what resonated with me. I will always consider Time and Comfortably Numb in particular my entry tickets to Music with a capital M. Without Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin I wouldn't be the metalhead I'm still today
I grew up watching this concert with my Dad and just chilling. Sometimes it's hard listening now that he is gone. But seeing you react is actually helping me get back to listening to some Floyd. Thank you
You do a great job of hosting and reviewing. No wasted jabbering. You're also the first reviewer to explain the copywrite situation with just a mercifully short reference to it, but explains fir me why all the reviewers cut in with pauses. Your comments are very inciteful both musically and from a personal and societal viewpoints. A pleasure all the way around. Thanks. If you haven't already, Money from the same album, Dark Side of the Moon, is an excellent listen.
I found DSM when I was about 12, going on 13 years old, back in 1975. Friend's brother had gone in the Army and left behind a bunch of his albums in his brother's basement, where they got badly mouldered. I rescued and unwarped this album out of many others that went to the garbage, and cleaned up the album cover to useable shape, and that album sounded perfect for years afterward. I adore this song. As I've gotten older, its message rings as a reminder that time is getting shorter. I never seem to get the time. My mom's going to assistive care this weekend or week coming. Huge warning.
@@henry3414 agreed. The first side of Meddle (back when records and cassettes used to have sides!) was ok, but "real" Pink Floyd began with side 2, Echoes, and ended with The Wall (imho The Final Cut is a Roger Waters album not floyd, which is also, brilliant btw)
A beautiful woman in her 20s these days who has the depth for the Floyd is a rare and wonderful jewel. You, Aileen, give the best reviews for Pink Floyd I've found in any age group.
I used to have a sansui l500 receiver 250 watts I used to wake up my roommate to the bells every other morning used to really piss him off. Great reaction kiddo rock on
This was the first Pink Floyd song I ever heard. I was 12 years old in 1973 when DSOTM was released. I was mesmerized but didn't become a full fledged fan until 1977. I was visiting my aunt and my cousin brought me up to his stereo to play "Animals" which had just been released. At that point I became obsessed. Still my favorite album, but they didn't produce anything bad in the 1970s. They were all just different shades of epic and majestic. 40+ years later and their music still resonates with people. And that's because the underlying truths that are the themes of their music are eternal.
Can we all just take a minute to remember this( Dark side of the Moon) was released in 1972 recorded at Abbey Road.... Aileen the song you're reaching for is "Shine on you crazy diamond" Pts 1to 5. A lot of instrumental which is just brilliant, but when the lyrics kick in they hit hard . The song is about Syd Barret worth looking up his story on Wiki. I saw them twice live. Once in the late seventies at Wembley arena in London then in the 80's at the Docklands Arena in London I feel blessed to have had that opportunity.
As someone who has loved this album for years, it's refreshing to see someone react to a beloved song for the first time. I think we would all love to go back and hear a song that resonates with us for the first time again. I hope you enjoy hearing more Pink Floyd songs! They are one of the greats!
Time is an absolute classic 450million dark side of the moon albums were sold,I find pink floyd hypnotic,and the lyrics are so spectacular,if I have had a stressful day pink floyd relaxes me,I hope you are doing OK lovely
turn out the lights and crank it up with head phones on, trust me , it will blow you away. Welcome to back to the future. I am 67 now and listened to this when I was in my 20.s
You need to listen to this album in its entirety. From beginning to end without stopping to get the full effect. To get the full Pink Floyd experience😊
*_Time_* is a song that stays with you as you age - and becomes more poignant as the sun continues to come up from behind you again - and again. 50 years for me and this song now.
“The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older; shorter of breath and one day closer to death”…has been my favorite line in any song EVER since the moment I first heard in back in 1978…
I've gotten to introduce Rock & Roll to a 24 yr old in China. Music I listened to in my teens (I'm 66) such as Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin, I'm imagining listening to these songs for the first time. Watching you and others doing these reaction videos brings a smile to my face knowing that these songs are timeless. There is so much music for y'all to discover. We do NOT take these for granted if you wondered. Suggestions for fantastic songs... try Joe Satriani and Stevie Ray Vaughn, or older music like King Crimson and Stanley Clarke, Leo Kottke and Mike Bloomfield, Julian Sas and Al Kooper..... the list goes on and on. I enjoyed your video, peace out.
60 years old here as well and also took this song to heart at a very young age. Today, time progresses at light speed. What a wild ride we're on. Make the best of it!
The line- "No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" is the one to be wary of in this song. The older you get, the harder it can hit.
Nothing like the feeling of being left behind is there?
I turn 50 v soon & it's hitting harder than ever
Count me as Someone who missed the starting gun. I was 40 when I Realized that I was an idiot.
56 and still not started. Accepted it, won’t start now.
@@clarelwc2849 me too! Can't believe I'm nearly half a century old....scary
As you get older, this song transforms from a warning, to a call to action, to a lament. Amazing song!
Wow... The Gravitas of Floyd..... Heavy.
Got to admit as a teenager in the seventies, I just thought it was a sonically really cool song but now at 63 the lyrics have true meaning.
Same Craig … 13 laying on the floor near the stereo cabinet with headphones on … I’ll be 63 in February… 50 years past I think I will do the whole album the same way
And yes it hits home way more now!!!
This shit hits like a stunning realization.
@@craigdoriety9798 I remember how cool this song was when I was 14, and now at 38 I actually understand what they mean about time passing you by in the blink of an eye
David Gilmour is one of those few guitarists that makes the guitar talk and express emotion. It's not a solo it's an experience.
Well Dan as we said in the 60's I dig man. I hope you would agree. I think it is a mournful longing that is invoked by Gilmour. A melancholy self-reflection.
It's those crazy bends he does. He's said he has lots of strength in his fretting hand, but not a lot of speed. So he uses the bends to give his solos impact rather than speed and technical prowess.
Mmm 50 years oh how time flies I was 23 when I first heard it, still loving this music😀😀
There's only a handful of guitarists that do the same, Mark Knopfler is another (in my opinion). Surely one of the greatest in history
You still need to do Syd the song feel yo got that yet
I was 21 when I first heard this track in 1973 and didn't really appreciate the importance of the lyrics. When you're that age you believe you'll live forever. Now I'm 71 those lyrics are so so true and have become very poignant. Those 51 years have gone like a flash and you have the feeling you've not relished every minute. Anyone reading this and just starting on life's journey, take heed and don't wish and waste it away, there is no sequel.
same here, I was born in 1957.
That's about it there Brian. All that you see and everyone you meet..
same here, I was born in 1951
Shorter of breath one day closer to death. I wrote that in a birthday card 30 years ago. It was funny......... Then.
Ten zegar jest jeden na całym świecie .tak jak wiatru nie widzimy ale czujemy go tak tego zegara nie widać lecz czas u tego zegara nie zatrzymamy ani nie cofniemy jeśli nie było by czasu to nie było by życia ani śmierci
What a genuine and honest reaction.
I`m 76 years old. and Dark Side of the Moon is still the most moving album I`ve ever heard. Each piece is great. The entire album is a masterpiece.
100 years from now, people will STILL be putting Dark Side into the top 5 albums of all time, no doubt. Its absolute perfection, start to finish.
Not Sanctioned you have me beat by 3 years and I agree 100%
Best album of all time in my opinion
Listen to Pet Sounds
@@BRNRDNCK Fucking YES!!
The older you get, the more meaning there is to this song. I am now 54, and I can't help but wonder how these guys, who were in their 20's at the time of writing this song, could be this insightful at their age? Going right into "Great Gig In The Sky" would be my suggestion for your next Pink Floyd listen. If you thought this song had an impact, you will be awestruck at Great Gig In The Sky!
Great Gig in the sky needs no lyrics.
🎸☮️💕
LSD
Great art is more often than not achieved by the young..
I don't know that the song has more meaning, but you sure do understand it differently.
As a fellow 54 year old, this song kicks me harder in the guts than it did when I was a teen listening to this album lying on the floor in my bedroom. But it kicked me hard in the guts then. I so wanted to be dead long before now, and now I am not sure what the heck I've been doing for four decades. I was busy I know, but what the eff did I do?
Great thoughts before I try to go to sleep. 😀
"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around, to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death."
Some of my favorite lyrics ever written.
@@JupiterThunder and all of it is fucking genius
@@JupiterThunder Amused to Death is actually more about life, and not ww2, and madness only in a very relative sense. Radio KAOS is also very different. Thats kind of a cliche that thats all he wrote about. Welcome to the machine, have a cigar and on.
Actually it's "relucent way"
Roger's description of the day. Hits you hard.
@@johnstewart8473 Really ? Thats interesting, never even knew the word existed til I looked it up.
Greatest Album ever recorded, full stop.
I’m 53, and I know a lot of people who missed the starting gun.
Pay heed young ones.
“You run and you run to, catch up to the sun as it’s sinking…racing around, to come up behind you again….the sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older….shorter of breath and one day closer to death.” As a 21 yo in the Army in 1974, me and my buddies used to get stoned on Thai stick or hash and listen to the whole album while staring at black light posters!😅 There are a lot of reaction channels out there but you have real insight and can really feel the message Pink Floyd is relaying to it”s audience.
To be honest this whole album is absolute perfection end to end….
It was #1 in the chart for...2 and a half year...or something like that if I'm not mistaken 😊

Best Rock Album of all-time imo. And this the best song on it. But to really grasp its brilliance, you have to listen to it end to end. With headphones. In a dark room.
They are the best at conceptual albums.
I'm really glad that our younger generation can appreciate a band I have listened to from the very beginning. Keep listening.
I'm 73, my high school age daughter came to me "dad, do you have "Dark Side of The Moon"? Could not have been any more proud.
Seems to me, when we were kids, days lasted forever. Summer off from school seemed like an entire year. Then as you grow older and responsibilities accumulate, time kind of speeds up. Days, weeks, months, years seem to fly by and there is nothing but eat, work sleep then repeat. This song is brutally honest.
And when you retire it seems to expand even more
no truer words spoken
@@1bigrowdy I can't wait to retire...I've got a million things to do that work just gets in the way of. If I could spend eight hours a day working on what I love, I'd get so much more done that has actual meaning to me.
Yup, life flies by to quickly. I have no regrets. i have been married for 35 years with five children. I have a beautiful/wonderful wife. I have incurable cancer, I just wish the clock would slow down for a wee while.
You just captured the essence of growing into maturity. I'm 66 and still trying my best not to grow up.
Hi I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan. Seems that it makes you emotional as well. It's nice to see that I'm not alone in my emotional connection to Pink Floyd. They do get to your sole. Love your reaction to them❤️
Gilmour's solo in this song is one of my all time favorites. So many guitar solos sound so technical, here's the obligatory scale shredding, bends, pinch harmonics. So many solos seem to just check boxes. Gilmour's solos are just as much a vocalist as the members of the band. This solo sounds like the musical translation of the lyrics. It tells a story of someone going through life and coming to terms with the limited time we are given.
One of the most "musical" guitarists ever.. an extension of his voice.. bona-fide genius
I'll take playing with feel over technique every time.
@@chrisoakley5830 Yes.
"Everyone" can play a guitar, not everyone can play the emotional strings.
There is a reason why Dark Side has been on the Billboard top 200 for albums for 962 weeks as of February 2022... That's 18.5 years. It is a masterpiece. Even if it's not a reaction... Next song to do is Great Gig in the Sky but if you do it, try to que up the last 20 seconds of Time first and let it flow into Great Gig... Personally I think the studio version of Great Gig is better than the live version.
Even Pink Floyd believes that that one session on the album was somehow special and wont ever be equalled. And they have tried.
It is one of those music magic moments that was fortunately recorded.
Which is weird given it was released almost 50 years ago
@@radbarij Check your sources, people. She did two-and-a-half takes and the vocals on the final track were stitched together using bits from all of it. That doesn't take away from how amazing the track is though - just goes to show that a performance doesn't have to be 100% live and untouched to be incredibly moving.
@@silly_programme5061 Yup... Pink Floyd is great because they ENGINEERED their sound in studio. While being more loose in live, BUT using sample to try to give the "studio feeling" because what was engraved on those disc was a COMPLETE work of art... It was the music as melody, arrangements, story telling, mixing, emotion controlling, a cover design, "documentary" style with samples from interviews... It's like swiss watches clockwork... It's not JUST performing live. And when it's live it's so the crowd experience a SHOW, not to do some acrobatics stuff or virtuosity show off... So much for "published lives" which are heavily edited (for the best), to have "the best version ever" no one ever heard live in fact :) (yes, I'm talking about the infamous Pulse C-Numb solo...).
And that's why they are my favorite band: they (from Syd) are visual ARTISTS before being musicians, they thought their work as "more than music"... They made some form of "art" with music as the main conveyor, but poetry, visual, "mechanical" art, whatever, they wrote "art shows". More like movies or Broadway musicals or Opera... "that" kind of experience.
BTW: it's said that Roger W. does a lot of playback during his shows, but it's not what matters, it's all about the "show-with-a-story/concept", not a "singer demo" performance.
"Woops I did it again: it hit me one more time..."
Sorry if I was lousy, I'm French and even in French it's hard for me to explain what I mean, but I guess the "bleeding hearts and the artists" around will understand.
@@marcelliott1111 C'est parfait ! :)
This album should be listened to in its entirety!
...and early.
and often
Trust me Aileen. This song means even more when you listen to the entire album "Dark Side Of The Moon". I know, as this reaction says, you don't have a lot of time to spare. But if you do ever get chance, please listen to the whole album. Not for a reaction, but for yourself and in your own time. It's worth it and it will move you to tears. It's a masterpiece.
Yeah, listen to it in it’s entirety. It’s just mind blowing.
wonderfully said
I agree with these people. Most Pink Floyd albums are better listened to as a whole. While they're not all technically "concept albums", they were one band that kept a certain feel and theme that changed every album.
she is a kid ...... they do not have that reaction or feeling ............ they fake it for UA-cam and Twitter ........ they wanna listen to Millie Vanillie and Justin Timberlake and whatever black moron pretending to rap .... that is it !!! Sad ,,, but true :( !
The epic guitar solo comes early
This album was on the billboard 200 list for 950 WEEKS! Consider that, only thriller was on longer. This entire album is quite possibly the greatest thing ever recorded.
Preach Brother !!!
It is the grestest thing every🤘
What’s also crazy is this entire album I believe is 1 song lol but broken down into sectional songs same with another brick in the wall!
In 1989 I heard that it came back on that list and was the biggest selling album ever
When CDs came out in the early-mid 80s, Dark Side was the very first number one (of the week) CD.@@brendanpelly213
I'm English, 60 ys old and have loved Pink Floyd for most of those years and especially this song. I always thought of the ticking clocks and alarms at the start of the song were for effect and not as a "Wake Up Call!" Wow! Thank you for picking up on that and sharing. I loved your reaction.
I always get such a kick out of young people hearing Floyd for the first time.
It changes them in a good way.
Thats what good music does.
This track hits harder the older you get. The album is a masterpiece, especially after a few beers and a smoke.
This song really hits home as you get older. I'm in my 60s now and the years just fly past. It's scary.
i know...it's like what hell, it's my turn to be an old man already?
60 something here too. Kinda want a do over 😕
Word...
Yep. I've hit my 60s too, how did that happen? In my schooldays I remember being in my bedroom hearing Dark Side of the Moon on repeat in complete wonder. This takes me right back and it's still absolutely brilliant
I'm 59yrs old now and been listening to pink floyd since 1976 with dark side of the moon being the first album I heard,also first album I ever brought
Dark Side of the Moon is an album that was designed to, and absolutely must, be listened from start to finish. So many recurring themes throughout. It’s a masterpiece.
The beginning of the album more about birth or life with the ending about death and entropy. A nice mirror reflection book end.
Only one that seems odd is “money”. Great track but it don’t belong imo
@@skumflum3768 I’d say it shows middle life, finding a job to bring money, what most people strive for before they die
@@skumflum3768 I'd tend to agree, though I believe 'Money' was the track that was chosen to be a single. Which may be because - and why - it doesn't really 'fit' with the mood of the rest of the album.
I was surprised nobody brought up blotter acid pertaining to Dark Side of the Moon. Did any of y'all trip balls and listen to Floyd?
For me, the guitar solo in the middle of this song ranks up there among his very best. It’s so powerful, yet subtly expressive.
Pink Floyd should be listened to as an album. The experience is much better than picking out single tracks.
The first time I heard this song was way back in the early 80s and every year I listen to it hi tend to shed a few more tears. Life seems long as it’s happening but it’s getting shorter with each day as expressed in this song and now at the age of 50 this song means so much more to me than it did at the age of 11. It’s the cycle we all go through, the closeryou get to the end the more you start to contemplate that.
I love that you're enjoying my music.
50 years of listening to this song, and I still get new chills every time I hear it. Welcome to ''The Club''.........
100% Exactly the same here..I was hatched in '61.
This album is the soundtrack of our lives from the very beginning to the very end. Gotta admit it took me years to understand this album but when it finally did, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Have been listening to this album since I was 13 when it came out in 73’ , the line “ shorter of breath and one day closer to death “ seemed so far away at the time now 63 in a couple of months and it makes more and more sense , feels like it was yesterday !
Same for me. It was an incredible time to be growing up. The music we had was so amazing. In a kind of related way, we really didn't appreciate how great it was.
Same here!
I mowed 5 yards to buy this album. It was like most state on here, an experience.
I've listened to this song since it came out in '73. For 50 years I thought I was the only person who was deeply moved by it. Now I know I'm wrong, and it feels good. For me the meaning is deceptively simple: It's OK. Everybody gets old. Everybody feels regrets. It's OK. There is something greater that will make it worthwhile. The guitar solo then reveals it. Rising quickly at first, promising more, then pulling back to let you catch your breath, then higher, then pulling back, and finally revealing -- briefly -- a glimpse of something so eternally beautiful it defies words. But we can't stay here, not for long, and one must return to the here and now. So the solo then descend gently back to the present, like a falling leaf, and the all the daily troubles and regrets no longer seem so overwhelming because you've experienced a taste of the eternal. And then finally back home, now much older, the appreciation of life's simple joys -- "warm my bones beside the fire" -- brings us back where we started a lifetime earlier, but now far wiser and finally accepting of what comes next.
Wise words.
I never read such an astute description of what that song means to me. You put into words what my feelings are about that song, about life and certainly about getting older and realizing that, after all, I am not invincible like I was thinking when I was 18yo but accepting that there will be an end and that we have to prepare mentally for it. Very good
With every successive year, what this song means to me, what it evokes, has continually changed.. year 38 and I can't listen without getting choked up, these days
beautiful description.
Glad you liked this song, the whole album is a masterpiece and should be played daily for everyone. ❤️
I would never do that, it would totally ruin it, I never overplay any songs/albums from any band, I only play this album 3-5 times a year to keep it fresh I do that with all the bands I live but that’s just me I like to always it up and keep things fresh
I actually do listen to this album about 5 times a week.
@@hank35682 😅 Well, maybe not everyday but once in a while would be okay.
If you haven't yet watch the classic albums documentary from about 18 years ago
@@hank35682 I've listen to it, at LEAST once a day for YEARS... And it was a bit more than 25 years ago... And I still listen to it quite often, it could be daily sometimes, and it's not ruined at all... And if I do "just that" experiencing the full experience, instead of playing it while I work, it's each time more intense... I mean it's heavy on my emotions. Heavier while time passes.
That said, we might have different reaction with music, and I can't say it does the same to everyone. It's just that I'm one of the ones who have experienced massive daily play of this album, and just can't get enough of it...
I’ve been listening to this song for 50 years and it always makes me stop and listen. The ticking at the beginning never struck me as a heartbeat, to me it always seemed to symbolize the seconds of your life relentlessly ticking away.
Yes, life ticking away.
Exactly, a metronome running fast, gives the song a bit of urgency
Yeah I never understood why people said heartbeat.. total clock.. counting down
The heartbeat is behind the ticking.
fun fact, the ticking at the beginning was done on a bass
I started following Pink Floyd at the age of 14, now I'm 64 and their songs continue to move me. Themes with magnificent music and very deep lyrics. The Album "The Dark Side of the Moon" or "The Wall" are two musical masterpieces.
I would recommend you listen to the "Pulse" concert where you can find jewels like "Hig Hopes" with David Gilmour bordering on perfection with his magnificent solo, and Speaking of Pulse, comment that on one of the two DVDs, Pink Floyd completely play his for my work Summit "The Dark Side Of The Moon"
I love your reasoned reactions.
Best regards
A hundred years from now people will still be awestruck by Pink Floyd and David Gilmore, basically a modern classical music that will be ageless for centuries much like Bach and Beethoven. All of their music was masterfully orchestrated and crafted to be enjoyed by all age groups young and old.
The last verse is actually a reprise of the earlier track "Breathe (in the air)" and although "Time" is just awesome the it transitions directly into "The Great Gig in the Sky" just adds even more.
Definitely HEADPHONES and definitely have Lyrics to hand😉
When you are done reacting to the individual songs you need to sit in the dark with a glass of wine and listen to the entire album start to finish without stopping. It is a life experience.
A ‘glass of wine’… right😉
@bigbowlowrong You can smoke a joint if you like but this goes perfect with a glass of Merlot.
Goes harder with acid 🤣
@@josepi3213 if you could find some real acid these days. The first time I heard this album I was tripping on Orange Barrel. It blew me away.
@@malcolmplatt3768 dunno what it was all I know that it was 105ug and when I say back I felt myself get transported into like a void or something, but I was able to see the music being played, like I could see soundwaves.

You are the 1st reactor I have seen with your heart/ pulse monitor on screen, gives a clear indication of how you are reacting to whatever you are listening to or watching 👍👍👏👏
I couldn't have said it better..you my friend understand music..its a sight for sore eyes to see a video about music that dont just hear it..but feel it on soo many levels.. instantly subbed
The album "Dark Side Of The Moon" revolves around a central theme that binds each of the songs and which is: (What drives people crazy).
(BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy.
(ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy.
(TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy.
(THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the thought of the inevitable end (death), can drive people crazy.
(MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy.
(US AND THEM); If the abusive hierarchy between color, power or wealth between US AND THEM can drive people crazy.
(ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy.
(BRAIN DAMAGE); If the fear of losing their mind can drive people crazy.
(ECLIPSE); If the fact that our life seems to be limited to, (All that you touch - And all that you see...) can drive people crazy.
So, we can conclude that even the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the Dark Side of the Moon.
so well explained! Excellent conclusion of the collection of themes tied together on the album. Thanks for being somebody that cares to listen and experience this album.
There is no Dark Side of the Moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.
Hey, i’m asking myself how you come to the conclusion, that the Album is actually about things in life that „drive people crazy“ and not just a philosophical perspective to the most essential things in life?
@@carlderkafer6525 Here is how I come to this conclusion, simply through my reading.
It's a quote from David Gilmour: "We sat in a rehearsal room... and Roger came up with the specific idea of dealing with all the things that drive people mad." [Pink Floyd: A Visual Documentary, by Barry Miles]
And a quote from Roger Waters: "We thought we could do a whole thing about the pressures we personally feel that drive one over the top... the pressure of earning a lot of money; the time thing, time flying by very fast; organized power structures like the church or politics; violence; aggression." [Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey, by Nicholas Schaffner]
Well summed up.
The musical interlude that follows this song is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever to be recorded. *The Great Gig in the Sky* is an instrumental masterpiece with a lyricless vocal performance that literally makes me start to cry when I hear it. *Us and Them* is another one that is profound and haunting, and beautiful.
The entirety of Dark Side of the Moon is sonic perfection.
My best friend and I used to get together each year on this albums release date - 1 march (1973) - and listen to it . haven t been able to do that in quite some time but it was fun . this had such a huge influence on an entire generation , and more
I found this song when I was probably about 16 and it has meant so much to me since I first heard it. I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, and I felt so pressured by society to have it figured out as soon as I finished high school. When I first heard this song, it felt like Pink Floyd was literally speaking to me. Directly to me. "Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown... Waiting for someone or something to show you the way."
The next few lines hit me deeply. 10 years from 6 to 16 had flown by, even though it felt like forever during those years, and I realized that this is what it's going to be like every decade from then on. There's so many emotions this song can make you feel--so many things it can make you realize with each listen. Time really is a weird thing, and I'm only 20 now. In a way, I'm really lucky to have heard, felt, and experienced this song at a young age. It was a wake up call to do what really matters to me and not fall into a 9-5 office job that I'd sincerely hate. This song will always be in my list of top 5 greatest songs and has changed my life forever.
The entire Dark Side of the Moon album, songs in order, is a monumental experience. Best band of all time.
Its so nice to see an intelligent young person doing reaction videos.
A lot of the young people are just vapid in their reactions like they are brain dead.
You are eloquent and insightful and a true pleasure to listen to.
This means so much! Wow thank you for your kindness 🖤
@@AileenSenpai You are very welcome.
And let's not 4get...the owner of the BEST Halloween shirt that I have EVER seen...!!!
Roger Waters is an incredible storyteller. The whole band was wildly ahead of their time. The soundscapes they create are so beautiful and evoke so many emotions. To this day I feel like the production and engineering can be put along side anything that uses all the new fancy technology, and it will hold up. The whole Dark Side of The Moon album should be experienced.
I spent hours listening to all these albums as a teenager...I'm now 58 and I'm still learning from these songs! The power of metaphor - and with great music!
I grew up listening to this .. LOVE Pink Floyd!
Watching You watch these songs, I can tell how deep and warm your soul is. You actually GET this and I appreciate it, more than you'll ever know!
Thank You!! ❤
Pink Floyd is ALWAYS a ride and an experience
My favorite lyric from them is "all we are, and all we see, is all our lives will ever be". Gotta live it 🤠 🥂
This song flows into “Great Gig in the Sky” listening to that song will give another dimension to Time. Studio version is a must, with Clare Torry as session singer.
Edit: what you said about wanting to be 18 or older, listen to “High Hopes” live Pulse version, this song is about your youth and wanting to grow older…but….once you’re there.
Another track that brings tears to my eyes, how anyone couldn’t adore music is beyond me.
I love seeing younger people enjoying the music of my youth. Gives me a warm fuzzy. I hope you listened to the whole album.
This song is a masterpiece both musically and lyrically. For me, this is a once in a lifetime album. Not a bad note or word on it.
Great reaction. If you're feeling patient, it'd be wonderful to see you react to Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
This song flows straight into Great Gig in the Sky so don't miss it because it is amazing!
Album Version Only The Live Version Is A Different Singer
Not only does this song make you rethink TIME! Your debrief of this song and it's important message is so eloquently and simply broken down that it actually made me consider my thought pattern on my life. Your words do have an impact in a positive way!
Really appreciate your channel.
This is my first visit to your channel. I am so impressed by your enthusiasm and respect for the music and its place in our culture and history. You have a good streak of curiosity, too, and handle yourself very well. Thank you for this one and your Black Sabbath- War Pigs reaction, which I also watched.
Saw them back in 1994 for the Division Bell tour. There was no other band. They played over three hours with only one break and this whole album was played which hadn't been done live in 20 years. That was and will be the best concert I will ever see🙂
Could not agree more.
Saw PF, same tour, in Gothenburg.
To be played at my funeral...
Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit? I was there.
@@edwinbennett4611 -- Yes! You must be Psychic. I was at the actual first show that sold out in 9 minutes or so and they added a second show. It was weird. However, we were the one's that got to hear the whole 'Dark Side Of The Moon' album in it's entirety. Something that hadn't happened in 20 years. Best show I ever saw barr none. Peace!
I thought so. I drove up from Missouri, had already seen them in KC. They played the set that opened with Astronomy Domine in KC. We only had tickets for the second night in Detroit, I was disappointed they opened with Shine On You Crazy Diamond instead of Astronomy Domine, they must have done that on the first night. When they started playing DSOTM, I was really surprised they were playing so many songs from it, I kept thinking wow that's cool they played that, but they won't play this... but they did every one. I didn't even realize they were playing it in order and in its entirely at the time. Heard David Gilmour interviewed years later. They asked him if any particular show stood out as a favorite of his, I didn't expect him to name a specific one... he answered 2nd night in Detroit 1994, we played the Dark Side of the Moon album all the way through for the first time in 20 years ! We witnessed something very special that night. I'll never forget it. I really regret not seeing the show the night before, definitely would have if I'd known there were different sets. I saw them in 1988 in KC too, but I agree with you, that 2nd night in Detroit was the high water mark of all the concerts I ever went to.
I might have the nights mixed up, I thought we saw the 2nd, but it was definitely the one that had the entire dark side of the noon album. That makes it even worse if it was the 1st night, because we should have stayed over and seen the 2nd show too.
Worth watching the 'making of' documentary to be amazed at how they produced this astonishing album before sequencers, computers, and digital synthesizers even existed. Great reaction!
I grew up with the Floyd in the 70's and never get tired of Dark Side of the Moon, it's timeless. I could relate to the lyrics even when I was a young teen because they were forward thinking and I knew some day the stories would apply to me. You have to check out Meddle and Wish You Were Here also, I still get emotional listening to this stuff.
Omg. Girl, I'm 55yo now & your taking my advice 'word 4 word' out of my heart & passing it to others on a platform I cannot reach.
I'm the 1 that didn't hear the 'Starting gun' . Your young enough to make the change & love your creating awareness for our time together ❤️
I am 62 now and miss sometimes the moments of my memories and I wasted time a lot! For example: I hear this song for more than 40 (FOURTY!) years and loved it from the first second.
But I NEVER HEARD IT (really), because I DIDN'T LISTEN to the lyrics as well (I'm german, but with a fairly good knowledge of English). TODAY (21.04.2024), really, I listened THE FIRST TIME REALLY and recognized the profound, even philosophical meaning of the text. For approximately 44 years I ran BLIND through this world!!!
What a waste of time... :o)
I know reaction videos are normally one track at a time but if ever an album needs to be listened to in its entirety it’s this one, maybe you could do a full album review like you did with the latest Rammstein album or even one full 45 min reaction… that would be so cool
So good to see someone so young actually get what they are conveying in this song.
I was a young teen back when Momentary Lapse of Reason came out and I was blown away by Pink Floyd. Then I listened to DSOTM and I was even more impressed. Same for Animals, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here. Truly the latter three are the best albums in my opinion. The others have great songs, but for cohesive album "rock operas" those are the top 3 of all time.
Hi coming from Nottinghamshire England
I was listening to PINK FLOYD when i was growing up Now Aged 66 i am still listening to this AWESOME
Group
Dark side of the moon was
Twenty five years in the U S
Album Charts for 25 Years
What more can I say 👍👍👍👍👍 all the best
A very clever thing about Pink Floyd is that they leave space for all of the instruments and parts. Listen to that intro again, nothing trips over anything else. it's put together with absolute precision. Musicians don't know when to stop playing, they want to be in every bar.
The first five parts of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". = A unique musical Journey.
What's wrong with parts VI- IX ?
Part 6 is by far the best
One of their best songs from one of the top 5 albums ever. It will be forever relevant and listened to for generations to come. Also try them Live at Pompeii, Echoes is unreal there and is in 2 parts, make sure you do both. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
+++++
Echoes at Pompeii is one of the greatest songs ever written.
I used to play it to my kids when they were toddlers and it was time to sleep. ❤
The album version of Echoes should be heard before the Pompeii performance of it.
@@PotawatomiThunderNew That used to be my preference but it is a hard sell to get reactors to listen to the same 20+ minute song, no matter how good. It sure would make sense to try and hear the original first but Echoes is so good, for instance, the version in Gdansk was the last time David played it with Rick Wright and he and Gilmour sure have the same old magic there. With Floyd. Zeppelin, the Who, etc the studio is guaranteed to be the proper mix and pristine sound. Live stuff can vary greatly, for better and some times worse. That Pompeii show has other worldly sound and some of their very best improv. Can't go wrong either way. Enjoy! 🎸
Aileen, you may not realize it, but you are doing very important things in life by being such a quality human and introducing masterpieces of music, like “Time” to a younger generation who have no idea what they are missing. Thanks for what you do. You are heartwarming and I really enjoy listening to you.
I enjoy every word in your reaction videos your words are uplifting and refreshing like a cool drink of water and I find time. No pun intended. Every day to catch you on u tube. OH. That little eye brow lift is a charming part of your bubbly personality. Please keep up the good work. I'm addicted
She gets it. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Roger's best line ever
this masterpiece has so many layers that come through, through time- the older you get, the more they expose themselves-
but on the superficial layer, this song is about a persons life, from the conception at the beginning of the song with the clocks, through childhood, adult hood and finally death (coming home, the tolling of the bell being the funeral)....
this song jarred my perception when I was younger, made me realize to embrace and appreciate the time with my loved ones, especially the elders... and it brought me so much peace when my elders left in that I had no regrets of not spending time with them-
Everyone can relate. Dark Side Of The Moon album is a masterpiece. A lot of great music came out in 1973.
'73 seems to be some sort of temporal junction...DSOTM, The Smoker You Drink, Let's Get It On, Innervisions, There Goes Rhyming Simon, Mind Games, Billion Dollar Babies, A Passion Play, Houses Of The Holy, Band On The Run, Brain Salad Surgery, Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Leh nerd Skin nerd', Piano Man, Greetings From Asbury Park, We're An American Band, A Wizard A True Star, Tres Hombres, Quadrophenia, Selling England By The Pound, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Desperado...
From there the 70s blew up!!!
Greatest decade in history from 73 to 83 for music...
The last spectacular, breathtaking gasp of the 60’s.
The level of genius in Floyd songs are both simple and profound. They're the only the band that can illicit every emotion, sometimes simultaneously.
Edit: Still listening in 2023
"Profound"
That's exactly it. Cheers
Genius in all forms, both simple and complex.
This brings back a lot of memories. I grew up in the '90es and I remember being totally dissatisfied with that music, so I started digging and digging till i found what resonated with me. I will always consider Time and Comfortably Numb in particular my entry tickets to Music with a capital M. Without Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin I wouldn't be the metalhead I'm still today
This music is better every time I listen to it. Since I was in the 2nd grade. Yeah I'm old... Nothing has been recorded better since then.
I grew up watching this concert with my Dad and just chilling. Sometimes it's hard listening now that he is gone. But seeing you react is actually helping me get back to listening to some Floyd. Thank you
You do a great job of hosting and reviewing. No wasted jabbering. You're also the first reviewer to explain the copywrite situation with just a mercifully short reference to it, but explains fir me why all the reviewers cut in with pauses. Your comments are very inciteful both musically and from a personal and societal viewpoints. A pleasure all the way around. Thanks. If you haven't already, Money from the same album, Dark Side of the Moon, is an excellent listen.
I found DSM when I was about 12, going on 13 years old, back in 1975. Friend's brother had gone in the Army and left behind a bunch of his albums in his brother's basement, where they got badly mouldered. I rescued and unwarped this album out of many others that went to the garbage, and cleaned up the album cover to useable shape, and that album sounded perfect for years afterward. I adore this song. As I've gotten older, its message rings as a reminder that time is getting shorter. I never seem to get the time. My mom's going to assistive care this weekend or week coming. Huge warning.
I really love the Echoes song, the Live in Pompeii show is really incredible. Greeting from Brazil!
@@mmm-mmm i know, but the live version has its charm
@@mmm-mmm i never hear people talk much about meddle tbh, i do love echoes but i can’t say meddle is my favourite album (i’m 17)
@@henry3414 agreed. The first side of Meddle (back when records and cassettes used to have sides!) was ok, but "real" Pink Floyd began with side 2, Echoes, and ended with The Wall (imho The Final Cut is a Roger Waters album not floyd, which is also, brilliant btw)
A beautiful woman in her 20s these days who has the depth for the Floyd is a rare and wonderful jewel. You, Aileen, give the best reviews for Pink Floyd I've found in any age group.
I used to have a sansui l500 receiver 250 watts I used to wake up my roommate to the bells every other morning used to really piss him off. Great reaction kiddo rock on
This is my all time favourite song in the world. And it just hits every time I listen to it.
This album holds the record for the longest time on the Billboard Top 100 album chart: 741 weeks, from 1973 to 1988. You just heard one reason why.
Next song on this album is "The Great Gig In The Sky". It's soooo emotional!
This was the first Pink Floyd song I ever heard. I was 12 years old in 1973 when DSOTM was released. I was mesmerized but didn't become a full fledged fan until 1977. I was visiting my aunt and my cousin brought me up to his stereo to play "Animals" which had just been released. At that point I became obsessed. Still my favorite album, but they didn't produce anything bad in the 1970s. They were all just different shades of epic and majestic. 40+ years later and their music still resonates with people. And that's because the underlying truths that are the themes of their music are eternal.
Can we all just take a minute to remember this( Dark side of the Moon) was released in 1972 recorded at Abbey Road.... Aileen the song you're reaching for is "Shine on you crazy diamond" Pts 1to 5. A lot of instrumental which is just brilliant, but when the lyrics kick in they hit hard . The song is about Syd Barret worth looking up his story on Wiki. I saw them twice live. Once in the late seventies at Wembley arena in London then in the 80's at the Docklands Arena in London I feel blessed to have had that opportunity.
As someone who has loved this album for years, it's refreshing to see someone react to a beloved song for the first time. I think we would all love to go back and hear a song that resonates with us for the first time again. I hope you enjoy hearing more Pink Floyd songs! They are one of the greats!
Much credit needs to be given to the engineering of this MASTERPIECE. The GENIUS of Alan Parsons who years later created his own band.
His legacy is paved with successes of other bands.
Time is an absolute classic 450million dark side of the moon albums were sold,I find pink floyd hypnotic,and the lyrics are so spectacular,if I have had a stressful day pink floyd relaxes me,I hope you are doing OK lovely
45 millions
@@tonycles1702 my mistake your right
I listened to this firstly as a young man, but now at 51 it really starts to hit where it hurts.
You have a strong heart, my beautiful friend
turn out the lights and crank it up with head phones on, trust me , it will blow you away. Welcome to back to the future. I am 67 now and listened to this when I was in my 20.s
You need to listen to this album in its entirety. From beginning to end without stopping to get the full effect. To get the full Pink Floyd experience😊
*_Time_* is a song that stays with you as you age - and becomes more poignant as the sun continues to come up from behind you again - and again. 50 years for me and this song now.
The Dark Side Of The Moon is an awesome concept album. You have to hear it from the beginning to the end.
Most of PF albums need to be listened to in it's entirety!!!!👍
first time I heard it was on 8-track. It never ended! Like having a CD set on repeat! Great experience!
“The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older; shorter of breath and one day closer to death”…has been my favorite line in any song EVER since the moment I first heard in back in 1978…
I've gotten to introduce Rock & Roll to a 24 yr old in China. Music I listened to in my teens (I'm 66) such as Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin, I'm imagining listening to these songs for the first time. Watching you and others doing these reaction videos brings a smile to my face knowing that these songs are timeless. There is so much music for y'all to discover. We do NOT take these for granted if you wondered. Suggestions for fantastic songs... try Joe Satriani and Stevie Ray Vaughn, or older music like King Crimson and Stanley Clarke, Leo Kottke and Mike Bloomfield, Julian Sas and Al Kooper..... the list goes on and on. I enjoyed your video, peace out.
60 years old here as well and also took this song to heart at a very young age. Today, time progresses at light speed. What a wild ride we're on. Make the best of it!
