Yes listening to Clare Torry singing the great gig in the sky was, is and will alwasy be life altering. I remember when it was released and heard it the first time. Listened to bands like Led zeppelin Black sabbath and Mott the hoople at that time. And then came this! It was absolutley something different!
Absolutely! Listen to the entirety of 'Dark Side of the Moon' in track order, with no interruptions. It's an amazing journey. Also, treat yourself to the show 'Classic Albums: The Making of Dark Side of the Moon' if you want an amazing look at how the album was made.
just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer. when i was 16 back in 1981 i didn't ever think that would come to pass.... and what'ya know..... here today gone tomorrow.... i guess after this some entity is gunna cut me into little pieces . hope Juliet Dream saves my ass.
The comments I've read about how Pink Floyd's music was the only thing that helped people with severe depression, bi-polar, etc. that gave them Hope....decades of reading comments like this...unbelievable
You speak the truth! I've listened to this album for 50 years, first at age 11. The words to this song will mean more to you each passing year. Don't waste time. And the one day I found, 50 years have got behind me.... No one told me when to run... I missed the starting gun!
Check out the Airplay Beats channel. Currently going through Floyd in full from Meddle on. Halfway through The Wall at the moment. They’re also going through Led Zep.
Many people miss the heartbeat tangled with the sound of the clock secondhand ticking at the beginning of the song. It signifies how your life is tied to time. The older you get the stronger the meaning of this song gets.
I remember first hearing this album at about 13. This song almost brought tears to my eyes because I THOUGHT I understood what they were talking about. Now, on the other side of 50; knowing I very likely have more years behind me than I do ahead, and really feeling the years rush by, I REALLY do understand this song.
Yess, just like me !!! I'm 63 and love this album from my youth, an a full live. I still have the same vinyl in LP and Single with Money. Greetings from Barcelona.
I'm 58 and remember this Album coming out, I was blown away, still listening in 2023, it's so nice to see younger people listening and appreciating this masterpiece, you most definitely need to listen to the whole of DSOTM and do a reaction
Same age. As not native English speaker, first it was the melody and lyrics followed. The song time I thought it prepared me BUT Noone prepared you for the 40+
And you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again... some of the greatest lyrics ever about aging and lost opportunities. Everyone should listen to this album, it's just amazing.
That first time reaction will still happen in 30+ plus years when you play it. My hairs still stand up after all this time, my eyes still fill up when it hits me. The whole album is a masterpiece! There'll only ever be one pink floyd.
I listened to this as a student and now at 70 it hits very hard emotionally. It puts life into perspective perfectly and we all have to deal with this.
Yes, do the album. Pink Floyd's music was meant to be heard by listening to the whole album all the way through. My favorite way is with headphones. In the dark if possible. It's a whole experience that leaves you changed afterward.
Hard to believe they wrote this song in their mid to late twenties. It is one of their more emotional songs for me. It starts with a heartbeat and ends with being called to the church for his funeral. Genius songwriters and musicians. You do a great job of analyzing the emotion and music of this song.
It was pretty advanced thinking for someone in their 20's. When I was 20 I wasn't pondering how much time I wasted. When I got older it felt like we skipped a few years. I don't remember anything about 2002 through 2012.
You need to sit in the dark and listen to the whole album from start to finish the songs of the album all hook together and flow together they create a journey from one end to the other
Lilly Jane, I am new to your channel young lady. This is one of the best rock albums ever!!! It came out when i was getting out of high school. You remember that four year suck we all went thru.... Warn you about the alarm clocks. That shock is all part of Pink. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!! Ten years has git behind you, you've missed the starting gun..... And we have Mr, David Gilmour doing what he does so well. Make a guitar sing!!!! My condolences on the loss of your parents. That would Suck!!!! In the meantime, enjoy Pink and their classic songs and thoughts..... I think they are one of the greatest rock bands around. Plus I submit to you the "Dark Side of the Moon may be the best rock album ever..... Take care and enjoy life!!!! Pink is great!!!!!!!.........
My cousin used this song as part of his valedictorian speech in high school. Two years later it was used again at his funeral. (He died from an asthma attack.) So whenever I hear this song, I think of him.
Very cool how you pay close attention to the band and not just the lyrics. And then you share your own unique interpretation of the sounds the musicians generated as a whole. How it made you feel and what it made you think. Having said that, i recommend the next Pink Floyd track you react to should be The Great Gig In The Sky. One of the greatest instrumentals of all time.
Dark Side of the Moon was in the Billboard top 200 album charts for 724 consecutive weeks, that's over 15 years in a row! It reenters the list every Christmas and now has been on Billboard for 978 weeks total. It's an excellent stoner-approved holiday gift.
One cannot more stringently urge you to fall deeply into anything Pink Floyd you can. This is quite possibly not only the greatest rock band of all time, but the best band of all time.
Now we are talking. Best album of all time. I have been listening to Pink Floyd since the late 60's. I cannot remember the last day where I did not listen to one of their songs. Love your channel.
Many classic rock albums were designed to be listened to all at once, as a complete peace of music. The individual songs are like chapters in a book. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here and The Wall are probably the best examples of this.
I keep watching your reactions to Pink Floyd and say to myself that is one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs then another comes along and I can’t help but to think where was I and what was my first reaction to that song but so much time has passed that I can’t remember
I discovered you not even 6 hours ago, and you reacted to one of my favorite songs ever! Time is a very special song to me, I grew up listening to pink from my parents and I did not appreciate this song really until my mid-20s, but it took a deeper turn in my mid-30s. Time really goes by quicker and quicker, and sometimes you really do find that 10 years have gone behind you faster than you can notice. It's a great reminder of that.
I remember the first time I listened to this album from start to finish. My mind was blown. It’s not just music, not just an album, but pretty much a whole life experience.
First “Time” watching your channel. I’m nearly 70 and it seems like yesterday I heard this album for the first time. Appreciate your life, it’s far too short. ✌🏽
Hey Lilly, first time commenting. You are completely correct about the emotion David Gilmore puts into his guitar work, solos and riffs. Very few players can make you feel all kinds of emotions the way he does. One of the only other guitar players I can think of that could do the same was Ozzy Osbourne's original guitar player Randy Rhoads (RIP)
Peter Green was the master of using his guitar to tell a story...... also using a gap ( silence ) to make the story stronger. Also B B King, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa and Mark Knopfler, just to name the best known. ( Hope I spelt the names right ). lol
Personally, I would add the late Steve Clark to this list, always,played for the music and never his ego. His guitar was an extension of his soul. Gone too young, like Randy. 💔
As others have said, the entire album (& Wish You Were Here) should be listened to in their entirety. The stories they tell are truly epic emotional journeys. Although DSOTM is 50 years old this year, it is timeless & it wouldn't surprise me if it is still being listened to in 300 - 400 years time.
Love Pink Floyd. Each album first to last song. Tells a story. Time: it starts with conception a birth of life. You hear the heart beat. The eargasm would by like from teens to you’re 30’s the tempo slows down for the middle age. Then resting you’re bones by the fire. Refers to old age. Then death toning of the iron bell.
I used to just sit in the dark and listen to floyd albums. One at a time, some in sequence, some in release order...didn't matter. In my car late at night, in my dorm, anywhere. Grew up on this stuff. Interestingly, no one I am around on a daily basis at 41 years of age with a family knows much Pink Floyd or listens to them. Been interesting seeing so many people on RUclips discovering them.
Bought this when it came out back in high school, fifty years ago. One of my favorite albums. The sounds in th beginning alarm clock, ticking of a clock and the beating of a heart are all inclusive of time.
Me too, was 15 years old at the time, we were conducting refraction of light experiments in chemistry class so the cover was really cool , and back then the teacher left those kids alone!!!
There is no finer amalgamation of philosophical and moral message, musical artistry, and polished packaging of message than this album. Just doesn't exist on Earth.
Excellent that you display lyrics in real time! Of a dozen reaction channels yours is the only one, albeit on one opera singer reaction page she reads the lyrics before watching the video. Great work, than you.
Its every song... But its fun to see a youngling hear the .... Just feel the collors.. The music. The what and everything it does to you. Its ... A trip? Experience? Just the feeling... Its the same ...
Hi there, just came across your channel and saw your reaction, really enjoyed it. Glad you appreciate Pink Floyd and other UK artists. You got a sub from me, love from Belfast, Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 xx
Imagine back then Lilly Jane, being High!! Stone!!! Listening to this Powerful Music!!!!!! and now im 70yrs old , i get a Natural High!!!!!!! Tears😢 , Stone Clean!!!!!! Rock n Roll Till ☠️💀☠️!!!!!!!
A shout out to Alan Parsons the recording engineer, a true genius who put that clock introduction together and the rest of the album. This was engineered from tape, no computer, no auto tune, no Pro Tools.
Salutations, Lilly Jane! Your comment about how Pink Floyd puts so much emotion into the guitars was spot on. David Gilmour (guitarist) is rightly considered a master of emotive playing. He isn't a shredder, although he could shred when wished to do so, but rather concentrated on conveying the emotion behind the lyrics/song. In fact, the whole band took that approach. Now as far as reacting to The Wall, I say go for it. It's an emotional, quasi-biographic rendering of Roger Waters' (bassist/primary lyricist) life. And like Dark Side of the Moon, was meant to be listened to as one long composition. But if I may make a suggestion. I suggest you listen to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V" from their album Wish You Were Here first. I would also suggest you do a wee bit of research into the background of Pink Floyd and one of the band's co-founders, Syd Barrett. It'll definitely give you some insight into the meaning behind the song. And, as always, ROCK ON! 🤟🖖✌️😂
@@razorramona9963 Correct, I am 57 and I was 7 years old when this came out, heard it from older cousins or cool babysitters who would let me listen when they were looking out for me when parents went somewhere. The Wall came out in 79-80, I turned 14 in early 1980.
So nice to see a pretty young girl with a brain reacting to a legendary classic group such as Pink Floyd, your points were very valid and thoughtful, and I was impressed. Thank you Lily Jane, yes this is a very good place to start with Pink Floyd, Wish You were Here and Animals are the other essential albums you must listen to, and which us older guys would love to see your reactions for. Luv ya Lily Jane! 🤩
Pink Floyd were and still are the best ever . These Goats bring u into a journey like no other ands does . Another great album I would suggest "Animals" a Masterpiece
You nailed it! Perfect accuracy, this is art rock. The best of the 70s indeed. Existential dread in a pop song. By the end he has accepted fate - imagine Sisyphus content.
Right on, back in the 70s I worked in an old sound room at a retailer long gone and we would test all then high end systems with this album, Led Zeppelin 2 and Are You Experienced. This would tell you everything you needed to know about the equipment.
I was Born in 1962, So I was 11 years old when I first heard it. This song makes MORE and MORE sense the older you get. Now I'm 62. Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death. Grab life while you CAN. It's a timeless message about the limited time we have here. No one will tell you WHEN to run, There is NO "starting gun".
It is interesting how a song can make misery and pain sound so welcoming and happy. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that way lmao. When you get a chance, Highly recommend you listen to Dogs from their Animals album. It may be 17 minutes long, but I believe it’s up there as their finest work. Animals is one of the best albums of all time and a unique experience!
The lyrics of this song become more meaningful as you age. "One day closer to death" etc. Try listening to the whole album from start to finish, you won't regret it.
The part where you described as a metronome is actually Waters flicking his bass guitar while palm muting with his fretting hand (left) all the way up right over the pickups, flicking with right hand 4th and 5th strings just two notes tick tock tick tock (repeat....) i think chord tones of F# and A, don't quote me on that but those are two of the chords of 3 used of F#m A major then Emajor for the most part, Something similar to what Gilmour did on the song "Run like hell" on his telecaster in the key of D, right at the start as a group they liked to use their instruments as much as possible to get the sound they wanted, so at the start or run before using 1st 2nd 3rd string triad chords D A G D A G A D with 6th string dropped to D, when he played that descending scratchy delay effect that sounded awesome! and then in triplets open D string a constant single string picking pattern in between every two chords of the triads DAGDAGAD sequence delay set in triplets , a really good example of how gilmour uses two delay pedals to get that beautiful sound effect.
Goose bumps. I STILL get goose bumps. "Song is over, thought I'd something more to say". This is Rock's greatest album. Try the whole thing. in the dark, with a strobe, black light or eyes closed, give it the time to envelope you.
The production was perfect. I hate over produced stuff that takes the soul out of the music... The production was the sweet kiss on the prefect music. I've been thankful and appreciative for years.
Yeah, I have probably heard at least one song off it pretty much every week since it came out, wildly popular on FM then streaming radio and I have put it on in its entirety 100s, of not more than 1,000 times. It just never gets old and always tells the truth and touches your soul.
Been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 10 years old so it's been 44 years now. Every peace of music they've done are master pieces. I will say I find the experience of listening to them on vinyl is the way to experience the true sound
I feel for you, so young to lose your parent's...I lost both mine before I turned 50 and thought that was to young, unfortunately they weren't the only ones in a short time span for me, I can say that music has always helped me through...and it seems to help you so you keep going ✌️❤😁!
Yes. The wall is awesome. The movie puts everything into much more perspective on the concept of the album. And also will take you on a wild journey lol
Yeah totally, and thanks! I love ❤ this song, the album. I'm impressed by your reaction and spot on in your articulation of emotions and thoughts provoked or inspired by this song... I suppose anyone listening would have a very similar response, I know I did, do, will continue to have.. because Pink Floyd are/were very good at making that happen, plus the fact time itself is relevant to us all reaches anyone listening. For me it reminds me of my youth more than anything, carefree.. when time isn't even a thought that goes through your head, you're out all day on the stomping ground with very little worries and no responsibilities, a sort of freedom that it's all you know until suddenly boom! You're an old twat, but with the memories you have in hindsight to reflect on of which this song has a strong effect on stirring up, along with the sudden sense of awareness of how precious life is right now in the moment, that & along with a powerful dynamic in the solo at the start after being woken up to the concept of time when you hear those old clocks going off! It's like... wake up and chill the fk out- time is out of our control so there is absolutely no reason why anyone should be worrying about it in the first place, like many things, but time more so, which makes this song good for the soul! realising you don't have to worry about something you have no power or control over... it's refreshing.
As a boomer…the very best way to listen to this epic album is by headphones…close your eyes … listen and get emerged in the music…you’ll be exhausted by the musics incredible sounds. Our planetarium held star and laser events to this album…incredible!
Oh girl, I'm sorry to hear you've already lost your parents at 25 years old. I turned 60 recently and fortunately my parents are alive and both 83. I'm off to see them on Wednesday. Last saw Dad in OCtober, it's a good bit longer since I saw Mum. I can't say I've been listening to this song for the whole 50 years since it came out. I was only 10 then. But DSotM was one of the first three albums I bought, on the same day in 1977, when I was 14. I can't say I have always acted in the best possible way, but it's a song I've listened to thousands of times and kept in mind for 45 years.
You want an emotional journey? Try the next song on that album. Better yet, try the whole album start to finish. It is phenomenal.
It's life altering.
Yes listening to Clare Torry singing the great gig in the sky was, is and will alwasy be life altering. I remember when it was released and heard it the first time. Listened to bands like Led zeppelin Black sabbath and Mott the hoople at that time. And then came this! It was absolutley something different!
I concur. I would suggest the Wizard of Oz thing but I’m not sure you could handle it.
@@theaspiephotographer especially whilst in trip
Absolutely! Listen to the entirety of 'Dark Side of the Moon' in track order, with no interruptions. It's an amazing journey. Also, treat yourself to the show 'Classic Albums: The Making of Dark Side of the Moon' if you want an amazing look at how the album was made.
"No one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun"
Trust me, the older you get the more that line will hit you in the gut.
For sure, I've been loving this song since I first heard it in 1973
And I'm 65 now
It is sorta why I dislike playing the vocals. Too unsettling.
Snap! I may even have a 50 year old vinyl somewhere.
just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer. when i was 16 back in 1981 i didn't ever think that would come to pass.... and what'ya know..... here today gone tomorrow.... i guess after this some entity is gunna cut me into little pieces . hope Juliet Dream saves my ass.
Fifty years later and this album is Still ahead of its time. A complete work of art. Pink Floyd is a gift to humanity.
Recorded on such rudimentary equipment,a masterpiece.
i concur.
@@clivenewman4810 Don't think so ! Alan Parsons was the sound engineer on it !
@@clivenewman4810 It's amazing how talent requires no auto-tune.......
Timeless is the more appropriate word.
The comments I've read about how Pink Floyd's music was the only thing that helped people with severe depression, bi-polar, etc. that gave them Hope....decades of reading comments like this...unbelievable
Yes. I am just one more.
Do it young Lady. Im 64+, heard this song on the radio, in '75. It's Really Real.
Believe me, the older you get, the more this brilliance piece of music ( much more than just a song) penetrates your soul.
It always amazed me that a bunch of guys so young could tap this the way they did
Word.
@@glenchapman3899 Yes - How could they be that perceptive, let alone so musically brilliant?
@@willasacco9898 simple…because they weren’t educated in the U.S.!
You speak the truth!
I've listened to this album for 50 years, first at age 11.
The words to this song will mean more to you each passing year.
Don't waste time.
And the one day I found, 50 years have got behind me....
No one told me when to run...
I missed the starting gun!
Of course we want you to react to the entire album. :) Fact is, Pink Floyd just works better in full albums as each tells a story.
Check out the Airplay Beats channel. Currently going through Floyd in full from Meddle on. Halfway through The Wall at the moment. They’re also going through Led Zep.
Totally agree
Pink Floyd's albums of the '70's are the greatest rock albums ever made.
Even Obscured by Clouds 😂
@@barry1369 Great underrated album, it's like a pre-Darkside.
That's how I've always phrased it. 👍
Pink Floyd were the 1970’s.
@@barry1369 That is my fav Floyd album, so many great songs.
Listening to this album on cid was THE best thing I’ve ever listened to under such influence🤟🏽
That guitar solo can almost bring you to tears. Fantastic
Dave Gilmour is the master !!❤
True. A God among us lowly people
What do you mean with almost? 😢
almost?
Agreed but listen to Zep’s Tangerine and compare
Pink Floyd is an experience. This entire album is 🔥🔥🔥
Better, the entire career of pink floyd is an experience.
Time has the best non singing intro to any song ever. The buildup is phenomenal.
Edit.... close your eyes! Feel it!
The best drug inducing music out there
Spark a large one and listen to the whole album. Boing!
Many people miss the heartbeat tangled with the sound of the clock secondhand ticking at the beginning of the song. It signifies how your life is tied to time. The older you get the stronger the meaning of this song gets.
Totally agree. We are all closer to death after all...
Exactly.
Roll on death 😁
I remember first hearing this album at about 13. This song almost brought tears to my eyes because I THOUGHT I understood what they were talking about. Now, on the other side of 50; knowing I very likely have more years behind me than I do ahead, and really feeling the years rush by, I REALLY do understand this song.
The whole album is timeless.
there's a reason why this is the 4th best selling album of all time and still selling in big numbers, because its a timeless classic.
Dark Side will prevail.
In 2073, this album will still be relevant and selling copies.
It's great but a little over-rated. Some of there other stuff is better imo
@@strangenate27 I wouldn't call it overrated just all their other music is so good
It’s not timeless, it’s got time on it.
Time on its side
One doesn't just listen to Pink Floyd...one EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd. This whole album is a piece of ART!
agreed, this is the best piece of music I've ever experienced.
@@goldenDien Here's a visual to go with the song:
ruclips.net/video/69VMx9Kd3tQ/видео.html
Some of the best concerts I ever saw.
I listen to the whole album on 400 ug two times through and through
You are absolutely right!
First time I listened to this Pink Floyd Album was as an teenager age 13, I'm age 63 now, so it was 50 years ago. My how TIME goes by.
What a long strange trip it has been
Yess, just like me !!! I'm 63 and love this album from my youth, an a full live.
I still have the same vinyl in LP and Single with Money.

I'm 58 and remember this Album coming out, I was blown away, still listening in 2023, it's so nice to see younger people listening and appreciating this masterpiece, you most definitely need to listen to the whole of DSOTM and do a reaction
Same. Same age, same memory, same feeling. After all this time this is still my favorite album of all time. Still my favorite band.
Same age. Same undieing love for this album. We grew up in the golden age of music, and I still listen almost exclusively to music from those days.
Same age. As not native English speaker, first it was the melody and lyrics followed.
The song time I thought it prepared me BUT Noone prepared you for the 40+
50 years on, I still get emotional when listening to this fabulous work of art.....the perfect album !!
And you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again... some of the greatest lyrics ever about aging and lost opportunities. Everyone should listen to this album, it's just amazing.
Greatest lyric ever recorded
The first time I heard it, I had to pause and take a walk. Never heard that feeling captured so beautifully
Racing around to come up behind you AGAIN! Shorter of breath and one day closer to death ...
That first time reaction will still happen in 30+ plus years when you play it. My hairs still stand up after all this time, my eyes still fill up when it hits me. The whole album is a masterpiece! There'll only ever be one pink floyd.
I listened to this as a student and now at 70 it hits very hard emotionally. It puts life into perspective perfectly and we all have to deal with this.

Also, don't forget, "Obscured by Clouds", although the true meaning of said masterpiece may be located on a quest into a cosmic adventure........

I keep watching your reactions to Pink Floyd and say to myself that is one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs then another comes along and I can’t help but to think where was I and what was my first reaction to that song but so much time has passed that I can’t remember
Gilmour puts more soul into one solo than most bands do in a lifetime.
yup...
Gilmour could trip over a guitar on his way to the bathroom at 3 in the morning, and it would sound FANTASTIC.
I discovered you not even 6 hours ago, and you reacted to one of my favorite songs ever! Time is a very special song to me, I grew up listening to pink from my parents and I did not appreciate this song really until my mid-20s, but it took a deeper turn in my mid-30s.

Wait until you get to your 50s! YEOW!
This is not an album, it's a true masterpiece. ❤❤❤
The entire Dark Side of The Moon album is a masterpiece. One of the greatest albums ever made.
Animals is also a must. Brilliant, as is all of Floyd, especially in the 70s.
I remember the first time I listened to this album from start to finish. My mind was blown. It’s not just music, not just an album, but pretty much a whole life experience.
First “Time” watching your channel. I’m nearly 70 and it seems like yesterday I heard this album for the first time. Appreciate your life, it’s far too short. ✌🏽
This is an album that needs to be listened to start to finish
This is one of the best Pink Floyd reaction vids I've seen, and I've seen a lot.
I've been listening to this my entire adult life and now in ready for the softly spoken magic spell !!
Hey Lilly, first time commenting. You are completely correct about the emotion David Gilmore puts into his guitar work, solos and riffs. Very few players can make you feel all kinds of emotions the way he does. One of the only other guitar players I can think of that could do the same was Ozzy Osbourne's original guitar player Randy Rhoads (RIP)
Michael Schenker.
I'd love to see Jane react to Ozzy/Randy's Diary of a Madman and Revelation (Mother Earth).
Peter Green was the master of using his guitar to tell a story...... also using a gap ( silence ) to make the story stronger.
Also B B King, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa and Mark Knopfler, just to name the best known.
( Hope I spelt the names right ). lol
@hullbarrett me too. Ozzy with Randy is a top 3 band for me. Pink Floyd and BOC, the other two with Alice in Chains, rounding out the top 5
Personally, I would add the late Steve Clark to this list, always,played for the music and never his ego. His guitar was an extension of his soul. Gone too young, like Randy. 💔
As others have said, the entire album (& Wish You Were Here) should be listened to in their entirety. The stories they tell are truly epic emotional journeys. Although DSOTM is 50 years old this year, it is timeless & it wouldn't surprise me if it is still being listened to in 300 - 400 years time.
And The Wall and Animals.
And being listened to in a 'living pod' on the dark side of the moon.
That's a safe bet.
Love Pink Floyd. Each album first to last song. Tells a story. Time: it starts with conception a birth of life. You hear the heart beat. The eargasm would by like from teens to you’re 30’s the tempo slows down for the middle age. Then resting you’re bones by the fire. Refers to old age. Then death toning of the iron bell.
Tolling of the iron bell. It means to ring just fyi.
Tolling of the iron bell
You're clearly someone who thinks and feels deeply and who appreciates really, really great music and musicians, so Pink Floyd is right up your alley.
Oh. Girl. You gotta hear the track the immediately and brilliantly follows this one. OMFG!!
I would be down for a pink floyd the wall series. Also would love to see you react to the entire Pulse tour concert.
I used to just sit in the dark and listen to floyd albums. One at a time, some in sequence, some in release order...didn't matter. In my car late at night, in my dorm, anywhere. Grew up on this stuff. Interestingly, no one I am around on a daily basis at 41 years of age with a family knows much Pink Floyd or listens to them. Been interesting seeing so many people on RUclips discovering them.
Bought this when it came out back in high school, fifty years ago.
One of my favorite albums.
The sounds in th beginning alarm clock, ticking of a clock and the beating of a heart are all inclusive of time.
Me too, was 15 years old at the time, we were conducting refraction of light experiments in chemistry class so the cover was really cool , and back then the teacher left those kids alone!!!
There is no finer amalgamation of philosophical and moral message, musical artistry, and polished packaging of message than this album. Just doesn't exist on Earth.
Excellent that you display lyrics in real time! Of a dozen reaction channels yours is the only one, albeit on one opera singer reaction page she reads the lyrics before watching the video. Great work, than you.
Just one word MAGIC
Its every song... But its fun to see a youngling hear the .... Just feel the collors.. The music. The what and everything it does to you. Its ... A trip? Experience? Just the feeling... Its the same ...
Hi there, just came across your channel and saw your reaction, really enjoyed it. Glad you appreciate Pink Floyd and other UK artists. You got a sub from me, love from Belfast, Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 xx
Imagine back then Lilly Jane, being High!! Stone!!! Listening to this Powerful Music!!!!!! and now im 70yrs old , i get a Natural High!!!!!!! Tears😢 , Stone Clean!!!!!! Rock n Roll Till ☠️💀☠️!!!!!!!
It's definitely a powerful song. And it becomes more and more powerful as I get older. It's maybe my favorite of all Pink Floyd's songs.
A shout out to Alan Parsons the recording engineer, a true genius who put that clock introduction together and the rest of the album. This was engineered from tape, no computer, no auto tune, no Pro Tools.
Yes indeed- Alan Parsons Project another brilliant Band
Salutations, Lilly Jane! Your comment about how Pink Floyd puts so much emotion into the guitars was spot on. David Gilmour (guitarist) is rightly considered a master of emotive playing. He isn't a shredder, although he could shred when wished to do so, but rather concentrated on conveying the emotion behind the lyrics/song. In fact, the whole band took that approach.
Now as far as reacting to The Wall, I say go for it. It's an emotional, quasi-biographic rendering of Roger Waters' (bassist/primary lyricist) life. And like Dark Side of the Moon, was meant to be listened to as one long composition.
But if I may make a suggestion. I suggest you listen to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V" from their album Wish You Were Here first. I would also suggest you do a wee bit of research into the background of Pink Floyd and one of the band's co-founders, Syd Barrett. It'll definitely give you some insight into the meaning behind the song.
And, as always, ROCK ON! 🤟🖖✌️😂
I was five when this came out, remember my pops spinning it up on the phongraph, been listening ever since.
First time watching one of your videos. Pink Floyd has been my #1 favorite band for a very long time. Love your facial expressions through this lol
I'm 55 now. When Pink Floyd released this song, I was in my early teens. And I can feel time melting away with each year passing.
Early teens? I was not yet 6 when DSOTM was released and I'm same age as you 🤷🏻♀️. You thinking about The Wall?
Real early teens. I'm 64 and I was listening to it in my early teens.
T
If you are 56 you were only seven or eight years old. This album was released in 1974
Your math was Syd Barretted
@@razorramona9963 Correct, I am 57 and I was 7 years old when this came out, heard it from older cousins or cool babysitters who would let me listen when they were looking out for me when parents went somewhere. The Wall came out in 79-80, I turned 14 in early 1980.
So nice to see a pretty young girl with a brain reacting to a legendary classic group such as Pink Floyd, your points were very valid and thoughtful, and I was impressed. Thank you Lily Jane, yes this is a very good place to start with Pink Floyd, Wish You were Here and Animals are the other essential albums you must listen to, and which us older guys would love to see your reactions for. Luv ya Lily Jane! 🤩
I remember when this album came out. It was frick'n mind-blowing! And remains so to this day! Over 700 WEEKS on the top selling albums list.
Pink Floyd were and still are the best ever . These Goats bring u into a journey like no other ands does . Another great album I would suggest "Animals" a Masterpiece
You nailed it! Perfect accuracy, this is art rock. The best of the 70s indeed. Existential dread in a pop song. By the end he has accepted fate - imagine Sisyphus content.
This hits so hard as I get older and older.
That guitar solo was always a massive mind blow! ❤😍
How about Nick Mason's tom toms work in the intro?
This is the song I always test new sound systems with. When that first bass note drops, you need to feel it in your bones.
Right on, back in the 70s I worked in an old sound room at a retailer long gone and we would test all then high end systems with this album, Led Zeppelin 2 and Are You Experienced. This would tell you everything you needed to know about the equipment.
@@vicprovost2561 Me too!
I was Born in 1962, So I was 11 years old when I first heard it. This song makes MORE and MORE sense the older you get. Now I'm 62. Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death. Grab life while you CAN. It's a timeless message about the limited time we have here. No one will tell you WHEN to run, There is NO "starting gun".
Lol I so love watching the birth of a new Floyd Fan. I want to see you do a reaction to The Great Gig
It is interesting how a song can make misery and pain sound so welcoming and happy. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that way lmao. When you get a chance, Highly recommend you listen to Dogs from their Animals album. It may be 17 minutes long, but I believe it’s up there as their finest work. Animals is one of the best albums of all time and a unique experience!
My favorite album.
This song is truly timeless.. it really speaks to so many people. So beautiful. DSOTM is an absolute masterpiece.
The lyrics of this song become more meaningful as you age. "One day closer to death" etc. Try listening to the whole album from start to finish, you won't regret it.
That's some REAL MUSIC from back in the day. That's the stuff that I grew up listening to. That's the REAL stuff with HEART AND SOUL.
The part where you described as a metronome is actually Waters flicking his bass guitar while palm muting with his fretting hand (left) all the way up right over the pickups, flicking with right hand 4th and 5th strings just two notes tick tock tick tock (repeat....) i think chord tones of F# and A, don't quote me on that but those are two of the chords of 3 used of F#m A major then Emajor for the most part,
Something similar to what Gilmour did on the song "Run like hell" on his telecaster in the key of D, right at the start as a group they liked to use their instruments as much as possible to get the sound they wanted, so at the start or run before using 1st 2nd 3rd string triad chords D A G D A G A D with 6th string dropped to D, when he played that descending scratchy delay effect that sounded awesome! and then in triplets open D string a constant single string picking pattern in between every two chords of the triads DAGDAGAD sequence delay set in triplets , a really good example of how gilmour uses two delay pedals to get that beautiful sound effect.
The GREATEST ALBUM EVER!! Dark Side of the Moon!!!
Goose bumps. I STILL get goose bumps. "Song is over, thought I'd something more to say". This is Rock's greatest album. Try the whole thing. in the dark, with a strobe, black light or eyes closed, give it the time to envelope you.
The production of these songs was so good. The writing, the band, all of it. Just incredible.
The production was perfect. I hate over produced stuff that takes the soul out of the music... The production was the sweet kiss on the prefect music. I've been thankful and appreciative for years.
Really nice to see young people discovering my FAVORITE BAND since 1972. Headphones are a must. ❤❤❤❤❤
The Great Gig in the Sky...that is my favorite pink Floyd song of all...pure emotion master class benchmark for music
That’s A Real Band , For All Ages ❤
This song is forever on my playlist.
Yeah, I have probably heard at least one song off it pretty much every week since it came out, wildly popular on FM then streaming radio and I have put it on in its entirety 100s, of not more than 1,000 times. It just never gets old and always tells the truth and touches your soul.
This entire album is a work of genius. Well worth doing the whole album in one video..
Been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 10 years old so it's been 44 years now. Every peace of music they've done are master pieces. I will say I find the experience of listening to them on vinyl is the way to experience the true sound
worrying about death, is like worrying abt the weather....both out of one's control.......so be happy and "live for TODAY" :)
I feel for you, so young to lose your parent's...I lost both mine before I turned 50 and thought that was to young, unfortunately they weren't the only ones in a short time span for me, I can say that music has always helped me through...and it seems to help you so you keep going ✌️❤😁!
The beginning of this has startled me numerous times. This entire album is undoubtedly one of the best ever.
Yes. The wall is awesome. The movie puts everything into much more perspective on the concept of the album. And also will take you on a wild journey lol
A nice blunt always helps. 😂😂😂😂
And this is why Pink Floyd will always be in my top 3 favorite bands
Yeah totally, and thanks! I love ❤ this song, the album.
I'm impressed by your reaction and spot on in your articulation of emotions and thoughts provoked or inspired by this song... I suppose anyone listening would have a very similar response, I know I did, do, will continue to have.. because Pink Floyd are/were very good at making that happen, plus the fact time itself is relevant to us all reaches anyone listening.
For me it reminds me of my youth more than anything, carefree.. when time isn't even a thought that goes through your head, you're out all day on the stomping ground with very little worries and no responsibilities, a sort of freedom that it's all you know until suddenly boom! You're an old twat, but with the memories you have in hindsight to reflect on of which this song has a strong effect on stirring up, along with the sudden sense of awareness of how precious life is right now in the moment, that & along with a powerful dynamic in the solo at the start after being woken up to the concept of time when you hear those old clocks going off!
It's like... wake up and chill the fk out- time is out of our control so there is absolutely no reason why anyone should be worrying about it in the first place, like many things, but time more so, which makes this song good for the soul! realising you don't have to worry about something you have no power or control over... it's refreshing.
Every note in that solo is perfect.
The ENTIRE Album is a masterpiece. Been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 10. Glad my pop had great musical taste. RIP Pop😢
I love that you love this song and I love that you feel the emotion. This album pulled me through tough times.
SAME...
The Wall. Excellent Movie!
Great choice.
And yes, I vote yes on you reviewing the album, "The Wall"
A musical head trip indeed.
As a boomer…the very best way to listen to this epic album is by headphones…close your eyes … listen and get emerged in the music…you’ll be exhausted by the musics incredible sounds.
Our planetarium held star and laser events to this album…incredible!
Oh girl, I'm sorry to hear you've already lost your parents at 25 years old. I turned 60 recently and fortunately my parents are alive and both 83. I'm off to see them on Wednesday. Last saw Dad in OCtober, it's a good bit longer since I saw Mum. I can't say I've been listening to this song for the whole 50 years since it came out. I was only 10 then. But DSotM was one of the first three albums I bought, on the same day in 1977, when I was 14. I can't say I have always acted in the best possible way, but it's a song I've listened to thousands of times and kept in mind for 45 years.
