This is from the album “A Momentary Lapse of Reason”, the first album without Roger Waters. Gilmour wanted to make a statement that indeed Pink Floyd was more than Waters alone (as Waters famously stated). This is one of those songs that having the lyrics handy might enhance the experience. This is a truly beautiful and inspiring song about embracing those all around us who are in need. “Where the speechless unite in a silent accord” is high on my list of best lyrical lines ever written. And if there’s any doubt through the song that you’re listening to Pink Floyd, Gilmour’s guitar comes in near the end you know automatically who it is.
Truth. Anyone who has listened to much Pink Floyd automatically recognizes the pitch of the guitar and playing style of Gilmour. That man has more talent in his pinky than any given 50 of today's so-called "musicians". Sorry to break it to you folks but massive auto-tune with no instrumental ability while you jump around on stage doesn't make you a musician and (to me) it's NOT a "song" if you are standing there TALKING in rhyme and making body noises while promoting drugs, violence and the denegration of women
Agreed. This is clearly a Floyd tune, and Gilmour's hand is obvious. However, the album as a whole suffered from Waters' absence. Furthermore, the band hand other issues, too. Remember that Richard Wright was disenfranchised as an official member of the band. He continued playing with them until his passing, but he was never reinstated as officially a member, and I personally feel the inability of Gilmour to resolve his disagreements with Waters was the engine that drove him away for keeps and even perhaps how Wright was treated. At the very least, I feel it weakened Pink Floyd music going forward. It was still good, but it wasn't of the stellar quality equal to the day of Dark Side or The Wall. I'm particularly disappointed that that final live performance in which Roger was invited to participate wasn't a catalyst to finally heal that rift. By now I'm certain most Floyd fans have seen the RUclips copy of the performance and will agree that it was pretty brilliant. I would suggest that Jay and Amber seek out that video, as it's well worth the effort.
@@Dragonsinger71 True, but it wasn't ALL on Gilmour. Waters had gotten to the point where the various drugs were seriously affecting his abilities. 43 takes of just one track for instance was heavily impacting the recording schedule and they were under contract to deliver the album in about a month when they split and the entire band was suffering from low morale because of it. Pressure from all sides was tearing the band apart. Add how much of a perfectionist Gilmour is and it was a real train wreck. I am still amazed that they didn't just implode and no more Floyd
This song has such a TIMELY message!! "Just a world that we all must share. It's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that they'll be no more turning away?"
I lost my family a couple of years ago in a span of 6 months, (cancer, heart failure. And a surgery gone horribly wrong) We may be strangers, but we're brothers and sisters in pain, and it isn't much comfort I know, but none of you are ever alone, we always have each other. Peace and love to you all
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost an 6 month old infant in 1992 and it's like yesterday. I still have dreams and at times nightmares from that day. I just had no one to talk to at that time.
there's many amazing Floyd songs as you've already discovered. but there's one that rises above the rest to define Pink Floyd so much that it became their anthem that started every concert they gave after its release. haunting, beautiful, tragic, raw & intimate, it tells the story of Pink Floyd itself in a song. Shine On You Crazy Diamond. it'll forever change how you see the band.
Definately a good one! I remember Floyd opened with that song one of the times I saw them in concert. It was amazing! Gilmour is the best in the world on slide guitar and my personal fave.
I have stressed this song with our wonderful couple numerous times. The double sax solo at the end would make Amber smile thus making us live up to their mantra of making someone smile. You are so right Tim they need to listen to this one. And then maybe we can throw One of These Days or Careful with that Ax Eugene at them.
@@davidtrevitt9753 it's the key to understanding Floyd, at least through Dark Side & you could easily argue the Wall as well. Syd was incandescent. until he wasn't.
OMG the way you two have grown over time and how you both break down songs. Trust me your both becoming professionals and I hope this leads to much bigger places for you both. Seriously love your breakdowns keep up the amazing work!!!!! 😊❤️
I so wish I could see inside Amber's head while listening to Floyd. Just to watch her feeling the music, when she gets that grin. That is exactly what music, and Pink Floyd is all about. about
Another awesome song. High hopes, a great day for freedom, coming back to life, comfortably numb, and wishing you were here from their pulse tour are a must, really the whole pulse live concert is mesmerizing.
Pink Floyd had numerous songs before this that included Gilmour's acoustic guitar mastery...the most well known being the tile track from Wish You Were Here. Dogs from Animals, Mother from The Wall, Fearless from Meddle, Fat Old Sun from Atom Heart Mother, etc. are all excellent examples of Gilmour's prowess on acoustic guitar.
@@andreabindolini7452 But Waters didn't play guitar in the studio It was always up to Gilmour. Waters only played guitar in concert. By the way, Waters was a brilliant songwriter and a good composer but a very poor performer. His singing is bad and his instrument playing is bad...
@@lubos1207 I'm pretty sure that in "Pigs on the Wing" it was Waters even in the studio version. Conversely, virtually all the bass lines on that album... were performed by Gilmour.
62 year old man and Everytime I hear that song I weep. Brors and😢 I got beat a lot pulled a plow like a mule every year for garden and wasn't small. This is going to sound terrible but we drank dropped a lot of acid to escape the pain and suffering while listening to Floyd. Back then abuse was ignored but finally I took a stand and it wasn't pretty. Just wish back then i had the system like it is now it would have dealt with that properly!!! The lyrics of this song ment a lot to me, it was a escape. there is still abuse all over the word I know but here in the US there is hope and a system for support for children now days . There is no more turning away from the weak and weary!! Please please if you read this message share it so if there are any young people listening , there is help where we didn't have any back then! I'm sorry this is so long but needs to be heard!!! Love being apart of your family and thanks for what you guys do. Love you guys your awesome!!! 😢😢😢❤ Again if you read this please share , I know there's still abuse out there but heads won't look the other way now! It will be dealt with if I have to do it myself!!! Thanks
No one else can make a guitar weep like David Gilmore! I actually saw this tour in Miami (90's) and it was INCREDIBLE. Absolutely everyone sang every song as a light mist of rain made the lasers sparkle and security pretended they couldn't smell what people were smoking...
@@roberthofmann8403 I always recommend it, to these folks in particular, every time they react to Pink Floyd. I'm really hoping they see it from me & several others. That performance is essential viewing for every Floydian.
Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away? Love Waters's lyrics, and have many favorites. Having said that, the above line is becoming more and more relevant with the passing of every single second these days. Nice reaction video. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
I saw Pink Floyd twice. Hearing David Gilmour‘s guitar solos through the humongous quadraphonic Pink Floyd sound system was like a religious experience. Plenty of goosebumps!
This song came out in 1987 and was a staple in their live shows 87-89. It was considered a protest song. Some fans thought it sounded Celtic achieved by alternating various time signature sounds. Just a great Floyd song that delivers you on a magical trip to perfection. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Its a shame they didn't properly recorded any of the 94 tour versions. Some amazing solos on a lot of nights. Ive heard all the bootleg versions there are of this song from the 87/88 tour and 94 tour. Gilmour played it once on his 06 On An Island solo tour in Iraly, but the weather was terrible and the Black Strat went badly out of tune, didn't went all that great unfortunately.
Listen to the Celtic song called Wild Mountain Thyme from the 1700’s, then come back and discuss. You’ll be blown away by the similarities. I like to hear it by The Longest John’s.
"... it's not enough just to stand and Stare ...". We are All in this world 🌎 together, and we need to look after one another, love one another, and lift up one another! No more Turning Away, guys !
As I said many times, you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. And for Jay, I have actually used the words from this song in church for the call to give tithes and offerings. "No more turning away, from the weak and the weary. No more turning away from the coldness inside. Just a world that we all must share. It's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?"
paying your tithes isn't doing anything to restore people from the conditions of poverty. Poverty being a human engineered system. Don't pretend to care.. because you pay your church money and pray to a god that takes the children that mother Earth breathed life into. The church does NOTHING to restore humanity. The church feeds off the suffering that their god creates... economically. I'll let you know something else. Real Spirit has nothing to do with money. Money being a man made value that's stolen the heart of the human race. As evidenced by the state of human beings. I"ve got no use for people with gods who do NOTHING to actually help people. You are the people who turn away.. who the song is for. So I DO hope you listen.. and end the turning away from HUMANITY.
@@keetahbrough I'm sorry you have such anger towards religion. It appears you must have had to deal with the self-righteous, politically conservative "Christian" that so many people think of instead of the true meaning behind most religions. However, there are still good people out there that you cannot lump into that same mold, be they Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jian, Hindu, or many others. And I am Universalist so I don't follow any one God, but realize they all have their good and bad faults, including having no faith at all.
sus eacciones son las mejores del mundo ,sorbe todo cuando las hacen de mi grupo adorado,,amo Pink Floyd y me encanta ver a gente joven disfrutando de esta musicaincomparable GRACIASSSSSSS!!!!!!!
When this song was released someone asked David Gilmore if it was actually a Hymn. It is not, but he took that as a complement. My audio system includes a Yamaha Digital Soundfield Processor, which can simulate a wide variety of venues. When I listen to this CD, I have that DSP set to Cathedral, and it is just wonderful.
Seriously, I love watching your channel. It's not just the music I grew up with, but your reactions. I get to see someone hear the music that ment so much to me growing up. Thank You
I used this song in a presentation for my senior year humanities class in high school. I can not hear this song and not have a tear come to my eye. The song is so powerful. And the lyrics stand up even today. When they start, it's just one voice and a drone on the keyboard. Then add a guitar, and then maybe another voice. Just keep building until, after the break, it is a massive sound of everyone saying no more turning away together. United! I love that you did this one!
Plus, Dave doesn't come with all the dark emotional baggage Roger has. Mind you, some of that baggage drove Roger to great heights, but you can't carry that weight around album after album. Where's the hope? The reprieve? Dave brought that to us lyrically and musically with his guitar.
my 1st Floyd album that sent me into floydism i was hooked immediately. the whole album is another great collection of songs that at some time you must listen to in a darkened room maybe with a peace pipe to heighten the experience. love your reactions.. keep finding more Floyd to listen and react to. love you guys.
saw Roger on tour a few years back. he had the usual stage props, a giant flying pig & a wall that came down in the middle that had projection mapping on it. & then for the finale he did Dark Side of the Moon & unveiled his apotheosis, a pyramid made of lasers with a chromatic spray coming out of it just like the album cover. we all stood under this massive laser pyramid as the man who wrote the song performed it for us. it was transformative.
Such a vibe we've just been on. OH wow.....the re-mastered LIVE version of this song is absolutely heartstopping!! Check it out Amber, you'll absolutely find yourself fighting back the tears.....an awesome video! Happy Thanksgiving guys, hope y'all had a great one. Blessed Sunday to you both!
I'm in my mid-sixties and you are one of the few couples doing reactions that GET Pink Floyd. And for that, I follow you religeously, because if you get them, then I can trust you'll get everyone else.
I love how much you love Pink Floyd. They're a transcendent band; artists of the highest caliber. You get it. 😉 I know it's not your normal thing but you simply must listen to their four greatest albums (Dark Side thru The Wall) in their entirety. It's life changing.
But what we are ALL waiting for, is for you guys to do FULL ALBUM reviews for Pink Floyd. You can NOT really get Pink Floyd without hearing the entire album as one complete masterpiece. You need to hear them in one sitting so you can truly experience the gift that Pink Floyd gives. They take us on incredible journeys of human emotion that can be VERY difficult to process. Their songs allow us to contemplate and experience very tough things, but their healing music makes it possible to go through all those things, and still be grounded and healed in the end. If you can make time to do whole movie reviews, you can certainly make time for a whole Floyd album. Do Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Here, and Animals --- in that order. Then finish up by watching the movie "The Wall". It's basically impossible to understand that album if you don't see the movie. We only recommend full-album reviews for your benefit -- we promise you will be SO glad you did! Love you guys!
I couldn’t finish The Wall: The Movie. I thought Bob Geldof (who famously hated Pink Floyd) was a poor choice to cast as the lead. The movie is a distraction from enjoying the storyline, IMO.
Check out the great accoustic guitar from Pink Floyd's timeless classic Wish You Were Here, David Gilmour shows off his skills to perfection on this one.....👍👍 🙏❤️😎🇨🇦
Nobody compares to Pink Floyd!!! My favorite band as well as my favorite musician of all time in David Gilmour!!! So many great bands out there but there is only ONE PINK FLOYD!!! LOVE THAT YOU GUYS GET IT!!!
Easily one of the best songs from later era Floyd. Gilmour’s ethereal voice really shines here. Your next Floyd song has to be “Hey You” from The Wall.
Great Pink Floyd track. You must watch the Pulse live version of Comfortable numb to see and hear Pink Floyd at their live best. You will be totally blown away!!!!!

@@Dragonsinger71 Of course Gilmour's drinking wasn't exactly helping either
And Roger’s big ego didn’t help either.
"Hey you" is amazing!!!! Plus, their "comfortably numb" pulse performance from 1994 is a must!
All I want for Christmas is for them to do comfortably numb pulse live. Lol
@@charlenecross28 Lol! Same 😂
Would blow their minds! Peace
The entire Pulse concert is a must in my humble opinion.
I've watched the Pulse concert on video at least a dozen times, and even have the entire video downloaded to my phone. It's phenomenal
Only thing disappointing about this song is that it has to end. Definitely one of their best, my favorite.
True 😢
Very true. Though the ending solo is much longer on the live version on Pulse.
@@KenCyrus-tb3nh There's also a rare live version on David Gilmour's Live In Gdansk.
This song has such a TIMELY message!! "Just a world that we all must share. It's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that they'll be no more turning away?"
Beautiful
Yes I hope they payed attention to the lyrics.
This song makes me cry.
Omg this is one of the most meaningful songs that is a call to action to help those less fortunate. Very powerful!!
We played this at our daughters funeral. Was a long long time before I could listen to this again without crying my eyes out
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost my mom too early and it destroyed me. I can’t even imagine the loss of a child. (I never had kids.)

Absolutely a must. 😊👍✌️🎶🇨🇦

David Gilmour walks the walk. He sold virtually his entire guitar collection for charity. Netting $21.5 million for 126 instruments.

One of my favorite songs with a message we should all take in and like most Floyd song instrumentaly flawless

my 1st Floyd album that sent me into floydism i was hooked immediately. the whole album is another great collection of songs that at some time you must listen to in a darkened room maybe with a peace pipe to heighten the experience. love your reactions.. keep finding more Floyd to listen and react to. love you guys.
This song is so very deep and moving. We all need to have the spirit of charity in our hearts and help our fellow man. Love this song.
This songs makes me picture the world coming together!
Saw them in concert the music was outstanding but the light show was incredible. Greatest concert I have seen
saw Roger on tour a few years back. he had the usual stage props, a giant flying pig & a wall that came down in the middle that had projection mapping on it. & then for the finale he did Dark Side of the Moon & unveiled his apotheosis, a pyramid made of lasers with a chromatic spray coming out of it just like the album cover. we all stood under this massive laser pyramid as the man who wrote the song performed it for us. it was transformative.
Such a vibe we've just been on. OH wow.....the re-mastered LIVE version of this song is absolutely heartstopping!! Check it out Amber, you'll absolutely find yourself fighting back the tears.....an awesome video! Happy Thanksgiving guys, hope y'all had a great one. Blessed Sunday to you both!
Just watching you both just feeling the music is magic.You guys are great.
Oh yeah! Love Pink Floyd ✌❤🎶
I’ll just keep suggesting it lol, Pink Floyd “Dogs” is amazing.
If you haven't heard; Wish You Were Here, that song starts off with just an acoustic guitar and vocals, as well
Learning To Fly off the same Momentary Lapse of Reason album is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs period.
The message of this song makes it one of my favorite songs by them.
I'm in my mid-sixties and you are one of the few couples doing reactions that GET Pink Floyd. And for that, I follow you religeously, because if you get them, then I can trust you'll get everyone else.
This song in their 1994 pulse concert is on another level.
You 2 never fail to bring a smile with your reactions. Another wonderful song by one of the best groups to ever play. Great stuff.
I love how much you love Pink Floyd. They're a transcendent band; artists of the highest caliber. You get it. 😉 I know it's not your normal thing but you simply must listen to their four greatest albums (Dark Side thru The Wall) in their entirety. It's life changing.
Beautiful song and the lyrics touch the soul and make you think.
But what we are ALL waiting for, is for you guys to do FULL ALBUM reviews for Pink Floyd. You can NOT really get Pink Floyd without hearing the entire album as one complete masterpiece. You need to hear them in one sitting so you can truly experience the gift that Pink Floyd gives. They take us on incredible journeys of human emotion that can be VERY difficult to process. Their songs allow us to contemplate and experience very tough things, but their healing music makes it possible to go through all those things, and still be grounded and healed in the end. If you can make time to do whole movie reviews, you can certainly make time for a whole Floyd album. Do Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Here, and Animals --- in that order. Then finish up by watching the movie "The Wall". It's basically impossible to understand that album if you don't see the movie. We only recommend full-album reviews for your benefit -- we promise you will be SO glad you did! Love you guys!
I agree, they should actually do The Wall on the movie reactions
I couldn’t finish The Wall: The Movie. I thought Bob Geldof (who famously hated Pink Floyd) was a poor choice to cast as the lead. The movie is a distraction from enjoying the storyline, IMO.
Check out the great accoustic guitar from Pink Floyd's timeless classic Wish You Were Here, David Gilmour shows off his skills to perfection on this one.....👍👍
🙏❤️😎🇨🇦
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! 👍❣️👍❣️👍
Great review! It puts a smile on my face to see you both “Get” Pink Floyd. What a powerful group of musicians and lyricists they are.
Beautiful song with a beautiful message!
When I see you reacting to pink Floyd I get so excited! Thankyou ❤
What a beautiful and perfect comment for a perfect song
Nobody compares to Pink Floyd!!! My favorite band as well as my favorite musician of all time in David Gilmour!!! So many great bands out there but there is only ONE PINK FLOYD!!! LOVE THAT YOU GUYS GET IT!!!
Absolutely beautiful, you MUST see the live version!!
At 06:14 when the giant, deep drums come in to switch the tone, it always sends a chill down my spine how cool and funky that switch was!
Amazing song! I love it! I can listen to it every day.
Thanks so much! One Slip from this same album/cd has very special meaning to me.
The turning away from the suffering of those in need. Pink Floyd. Poets. Genius musicians.
Easily one of the best songs from later era Floyd. Gilmour’s ethereal voice really shines here. Your next Floyd song has to be “Hey You” from The Wall.
I suggest Pink Floyd song @Marooned” from Division Bell album
It’s an amazing instrumental which one a Grammy award in 1995
How have others lived without ever hearing this before ? Floyd , Floyd , Floyd....it will get you through life.
Great Pink Floyd track. You must watch the Pulse live version of Comfortable numb to see and hear Pink Floyd at their live best. You will be totally blown away!!!!!
You need to see the live concert version, the tour when Rachel Fury was the lead female back up singer. Amazing
A beautiful song.
"Pulse Tour Live" all those songs are magnificent
Pink Floyd the second most influential Band of the last 60 years.
