And every time you listen you find something new to ponder. New parts of the music you missed before. Pink Floyd "new" every time you are blessed to hear. God Bless!
"No one told you when to run; you missed the starting gun." (like in a race) The album cover for Dark Side of the Moon is a prism. This album just turned 50! One of, if not the, greatest albums of all time. Hope you listen to it in its entirety.
@@MontWRLDtv The album has been on the billboard 200 chart for over 950 weeks since its release in 1973, the last time it was there was in 2020. The longest consecutive time it stayed on the charts was 593 weeks (from 18 December 1976 to 23 April 1988). It's one of those rare moments on the internet when someone says one of, if not the, greatest albums, and they are just stating facts :D
A white light is actually a combination of all the colors of the rainbow. When passed through a prism its broken down so that all the colors are visible coming out the other side. That's basically what you're seeing on the iconic album cover. However you interpret that philosophically is up to you. But it fits this brilliant concept album perfectly. Best appreciated played from beginning to end as all the songs transition/flows into each other. It is a masterpiece!
Hey, you're just slightly younger than my dad then. I grew up on this stuff. Pink Floyd, King Crimson, The Walker Brothers, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Leon Redbone - all the weirdos, but also the more classic stuff like BB King, ZZ Top, Steely Dan ... I could go on forever, so many great bands in that time. Wouldn't want to miss my musical education for the world. As I moved between the Hip Hop, Punk and Metal scenes and had a lot of enthusiastic friends in the electronic genres (not so much my thing) and my mom was very much into classical music, I might actually have one of the most complete musical educations possible in my generation. I consider myself extremely lucky for that. (Sorry for rambling, just starting to get nostalgic now that I've passed 40 it seems. 😄)
Hi, great album, this reminds my teens. Living in aArgentina with a militar goverment that controled everything, somebody coming from the UK brought a couple of albums and every body did copies with our home cassets. The wall is also an incredible album, and the song another brick on the wall was totally prohibited... any way everybody knew the lirics of th whole song. I agree with somebody that said The older i become the more I understand the lyrics. Great reaction and great music.
I wanna see it ! I've loved pink since I was 12 when I bought this album. I will be 62.this year and still listen to their music regularly. I own my own biz and can play whatever kind of music I want to , so pink is on all the time
Used to listen to this stoned in the laser show at the local planetarium. Loved them then and love them now, except now I have a real appreciation of the message.
Hi, It's great to be able to be with those younger generations who are finding Pink Floyd, You have entered the Pink Floyd rabbit hole my friend, may I suggest that you check out their 1994 Pulse concert and enjoy the visuals with the music, witness the entire concert then continue to see how far the rabbit hole goes from there, I'm sure that it will be a journey that you will be grateful for taking !! God Bless.
I agree with @martinm1231. Music from the 70’s and earlier was difficult to produce live with the same sound quality as the audio record. That’s because, while studio recording technology was growing fast at the time, stage sound technology just wasn’t yet mature enough. So a lot of nuances and detail that you hear on the record gets drowned-out or lost on the stage. When it comes to 70’s bands and earlier, I recommend you listen to the audio version of the song first to get the full experience and then you’ll enjoy the live performance that much better.
@@kylebakke594 Yes absolutely 100%!! But should always wear headphones when listening to Floyd studio versions. If you don't, you miss a lot of the sounds.
Heed the lyrics my friends. I didn't really understand it when I was in my 20s. But once you hit your 50s, 60s and then some, you really begin to grasp the meaning of the lyrics "the time has gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say."
Just an afterthought: Although the lyrics to this song as well as a lot of others, never change, we do. We grow and learn. If we're lucky that is. So as you're listening to the music and you catch the lyrics, as you go through life you'll encounter new experiences and situations. And if you're perceptive enough, every so often light will shine on your marble head and...BAM...you'll think back to the lyrics and say to yourself "ahhh so that's what he meant!"
Really awful when the mind says 25 and the body says 65 and falling apart. Ugh. And considering how young these guys were when they wrote this they were so on the mark.
The lines "No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" always struck a chord with me..... especially once I had kids and the little critters grow up so dang fast...
@@RoyalKronk Man can I relate! Its like one day you wake up, step in front of the mirror, and WTF??? Man the expression "if you could put an old head on young shoulders you could conquer the world." is spot on!
My late husband introduced me to Pink Floyd"s Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall when I was 29 years old. Both of them are concept albums; you really have to listen to the entire album to get the full effect. We had the lights turned off and I was all relaxed listening to the smooth sounds. You should have seen me jump when the alarm bell rang! At 29, I thought I had all the time in the world. I'm 66 now, and my husband has been gone for almost two years, and I realize that time is short, and I've got to live every day as if it were the last day of my life. The last track, Brain Damage/Eclipse, are my favorites. Please take the time to listen to both albums in their entirety. You won't be sorry that you did.
For decades I've been introducing Pink Floyd to people who thought it was just music for drug addicts. Many are now unconditional PF fans, and are always amazed by the depth of the lyrics that accompany this extraordinary music.
I was blessed to have this song impact me twice in my life; when I was 5 I heard the guitar solo,and according to my dad,I didn't talk for a whole day after. I would become obsessed with that solo,eventually learning how to play guitar so I could one day learn it. Then when I understood the lyrics later in my life,it hit me again.
@@RazzleDazz72 From Jimi’s “Let me stand next to your fire” line from his song “Fire”. They actually were on the same bill together in the late ‘60’s when Hendrix came to the UK.
@@ianfortier6796 that's so cool wtf. now that you mention it, it def sounds like it. i play bass and ive tapped the strings while muting it, though never for a song. just while being bored and puttering around. i guess i just never pieced the two sounds together until now. nice!
Sometimes I think about how Dark Side, Selling England by the Pound, and Houses of the Holy all came out in the same year, and how much the boomers squandered this gift.
I read a comment a while back that resonated with me, something like.. The chimes at the beginning represent birth, a baby coming into the world all loud and making a big announcement they’re here, then settling into the steady heartbeat followed by the consciousness and meaning of life part. The guitar solo can be interpreted as life events, highs and lows, ups and downs and then eventually calming down into old age, home in front of the fire and finally death, the tolling of the iron bells representing a funeral. I’m not sure if this was PF’s intent but it seems to fit. Watching young people react to the song you can often see they are jarred by the opening chimes, frustrated the song takes a long time to get going and then gaining understanding, reflecting on their own lives as the song progresses and the meaning starts to sink in. The reactor’s expression and body language often changes in relation to the song’s message. I think it’s a work of absolute genius
First time I've come across your channel and it's an instant subscribe. Great job! You definitely want to immerse yourself in Pink Floyd's entire catalogue. They start off in the late 60s as a psychedelic group, evolve into space rock, and become the best in the progressive rock category, all while pushing the boundaries of music, visuals, recording techniques, and tech. True pioneers. Imo, they have the best run of 6 consecutive albums of any artist. Every album from 1971's Meddle to 1979's The Wall is a masterpiece. Dark Side Of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are all concept albums which should be listened to in succession. They're each built like one narrative with each song being a chapter or aspect of the overarching message. I know I've thrown a lot at you, but it's worth it. The studio version of Comfortably Numb from The Wall should be next, before you start diving into the album listens. The PULSE love version should also be soon after. As far as the album cover you referenced, it's a single best of white light focused on a prism, which separates that light into its component colors. The white light representing life itself, the individual colors being the different aspects and pressures of life. The first half the album is a life cycle (birth to death), the second half commenting on aspects of life. Greed, war/classism, choice vs fate, mental illness, then a grand climax to end the album.
My favorite song by my favorite band. As I get older, this song really gets to me. How much time I've wasted. It keeps marching on no matter what, and if you keep putting things off they'll never happen.
i feel like it depicts that under the sun nature is perfectly in tune, like a straight line of life and death, but then something interferes, humans. And once that happens natures course gets split and divided into many different colours and directions of life. If you stray far enough off course, you end up on the Dark Side Of The Moon, where the light never shines.
The album cover. A lot of comments came close but.. Physics- “ total internal refraction“ When a white light passes through a prism it separates into colors. (Colors have physical wavelengths.) Sunshine through raindrops create rainbow. Is one example.
I grew up on pink Floyd because of hippie parents, but never truly appreciated the "experience" until I smoked weed and vibed out. Not condoning marijuana use, but anyone who does, ...you should put on some Floyd with some headphones, close your eyes and just.....go Lol
Pot or psychedelics just open the door to a deeper understanding. Once that door is open you're on the path to discovering "purpose". The rest is up to you.
This was a revolutionary lp in many ways. From the writing to recording, engineering, production, instruments, vocals, to the lyrics. I still remember my brother telling me to listen to this lp and putting the headphones on.... One of my all time favourite lps that has, indeed, stood the only test, the test of Time....
Each year that passes represents an ever smaller part of our lives and so seems to pass ever faster. I remember 10 years being half a life time in my 20s. Now a decade is just another thinner slice of the whole.
David Gilmour doesn't plug his guitar into the amp; he plugs in his soul! This one is kinda like the circle of life. One day you're young, with no cares in the world, all the way through to the Iron Bell calling you to hear the softly spoken magic spell. Birth to death. Kinda freaky, yeah? So you've just had a Pink Floyd Moment. Welcome, my son... Welcome to the Machine. We're heading to the Dark Side of the Moon. Enjoy the ride.
oui j'ai 71 ans et je n'ai rien vu passer, cette chanson est immortelle ,pas moi: j'ai l'impression à chaque fois de me retrouver ailleurs et je suis bien: les paroles tellement vraies
merci je vous mets un lien: c'est un groupe anglais la chanson est sortie en 1967 ruclips.net/video/MjUqfRrWwcM/видео.htmlsi=VM3ljcy-LfwmjLXk et si vous le voulez je vous ferai connaitre un chef d'oeuvre d'un artiste français qui est âgé maintenant, bonne écoute
True but also need to put on headphones and read the lyrics while listening so you get the full meaning of the songs. I'm also 60, was born a few months before JFK was assassinated.
The triangle represents your awakening moment in life... and you could add anything at that point of the triangle ! Like discovering that album with a bunch of friends at another friend's house with his parents away for a long weekend !
You blew my mind with that interpretation of the album art. I was jamming to this album with dad at the age of 14 +. I had never thought of what it could possibly mean or how to interpret it. I can definitely feel what you are laying down there! WOW! I really like how you broke down the possible meaning behind it.
The album cover is a beam of light striking, and being refracted by, a prism. This is one of the Pink Floyd albums that should be listened to in it's entirety, from start to finish, as the original vinyl album had NO pauses between songs. Except, of course, when you had to flip the actual album over. In fact, you just listened to 2 songs, and did not even notice that you heard Time AND Breathe (reprise). The whole album is like that. Most reactors are able to do a side at a time. The other concept albums are Wish You Were Here (75), Animals (77) and The Wall (79). If you do listen to the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb, be sure to check out the UNCUT version, or you risk missing over one minute of the guitar finale. Most people miss it, if you check out the views, it is a crying shame.
The album cover is a prism. a glass or other transparent object in prism form, especially one that is triangular with refracting surfaces at an acute angle with each other and that separates white light into a spectrum of colors. used figuratively with reference to the clarification or distortion afforded by a particular viewpoint. "they were forced to imagine the disaster through the prism of television"
This entire album is amazing. 45 minutes well worth it. This song is great and the older I get the more I understand. Was great as a kid listening to my pops records and listening to it again it's so poetic and true.
If you get the "Time" (no pun intended) listen to this entire album uninterrupted as it all blends together so well. Welcome to one of if not the greatest band of all time. Their songs will make you think.
"Time is slipping away, passing us by. Now, don't cry because it's gone. Gone forever my freind and it won't come again. It's moved on and left us behind"
If you’re just starting to get into Pink Floyd there a group called Brit Floyd that tours and they are amazing. They play all the hits and they play em gooooood
Thanks, Mont! to appreciate PF takes a lot of patience.. glad you stuck with it.. a great song.. especially lyrically... enjoyed your reaction and look forward to more.
You're so lucky. I wish I could go back. Back and never have heard them again. Enjoy the journey, because they don't play fair. They touch the deepest recesses of your soul in ways people close to you never could. They don't have a genre or a style. They're 1 of 1.
You just made this gramma very happy! My generation had the best music! My grandkids would be amazed at how cool we were with the music, muscle cars, pharmaceutical enhancements, and lots of time outside! Whew, no wonder I'm tired! LOL!
The song makes you think because the lyrics are poetry. Roger Waters is one of the finest lyricists in the history of rock'n'roll. Just read the lyrics on this album. They're little poems.
The older you get, the more the lyrics of this song mean. We only have so many grains of sand in our hourglass... what we do with those moments we have, that's what matters.
Was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd in 1975 at the Knebworth Festival in England. I was 15 years old and already had the Dark Side of the Moon album. It was a beautiful summer evening when they came on stage. They started with songs from their 'Wish you were here' album which was just about to be released. Then they went offstage and came back on when the sun had gone down. They proceeded to play the whole of Dark Side and it was incredible. For an encore they did 'Echoes' from the Meddle album.
The cover image is white light going through a prism. A prism separates white light into its individual colors. When you see a rainbow, the raindrops themselves are acting as the prism, busting the sunlight into its component colors.
Different genre... you might like it... check out *Bernadette Peters* singing Hank Williams' song 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'. (Good version on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.)
Basically, this is a concept album, with each song designed to explore some aspect of life: Breathe (birth), Time, The Great Gig in the Sky (death), Money, etc. It's masterful, and spent literally about a decade on the top selling albums lists. Amazing songwriting, and the guitar work by David Gilmore is epic. So different from other great guitarists (Hendricks, SRV, etc), but hauntingly beautiful. Enjoy the album!!!
Great breakdown of an amazing album 💿 at least you have the intelligence to fully appreciate this masterpiece Mary, I do appreciate new found connections, people finding this for the first time!!! and getting the true vibes and understanding from a modern piece of classical music 🎧
The cover for symbolises we are only a jumble of atoms in a fluke of the universe. So experience and enjoy. The prism shows even light is made of different things.
Every new PF listener goes through the same experience...they're all light hearted UNTIL the music and lyrics grab them...and the realization that this music is different to anything they've heard to in the past and start really listening. That's when they truly GET PF.
One does not simply listen to "Time". One _experiences_ it. If anyone upon hearing that "10 years have got behind you" refrain, doesn't ask themselves, "What have I been _doing_ with my life?!" they've either led a fulfilling life, or have zero introspection. As for the album cover, it's a beam of light going through a prism.
So MANY more tremendous songs by pink floyd. Loved the beginnings with Syd Barret, thru the Wall, and Final Cut, Even liked Roger Waters Radio Kaos, Gilmour's solo stuff, About face is still one of my favorites

The most profound and sobering line of all time.

I see it as meaning that unity is hidden within duality, and vice versa. As many diverse forms exist, it's all one at the end of the day.

You should try hearing new music for the first time too! I've been doing it and it's a blast.

For decades I've been introducing Pink Floyd to people who thought it was just music for drug addicts.
Many are now unconditional PF fans, and are always amazed by the depth of the lyrics that accompany this extraordinary music.
7:58. The triangle is a prism from the side, with a beam of white light being split into the different frequencies/colors of light.🌿🌸
... or if you want to be a true Floyd head... listen to all 23-minutes and 32-seconds of Echoes (from the Meddle Album released 11/5/1971) !
The cover is simply a prism (the triangular glass piece) splitting a beam of white light into the full color light spectrum or 'rainbow'.
This album was my very first exposure to Pink Floyd at the age of 8 when my older brother took me to see them in concert in 1973.
Good brother!
Dark Side Of The Moon is considered by many to be the greatest album ever made.
Yup. Because it is.
No Band like Pink Floyd, they are on another level altogether!
You got that right
There is a solid reason why this album was on the top 100 charts for 20 years, my bro.
Ten years for sure. One minute I'm at a Pink Floyd concert ( actually 3 times) stoned out of my mind and now I am a mother and now my son loves them!!
The album cover is a picture of a prism refracting light.
This album stayed in the top 100 for most of the 1970s.
Please watch the LIVE version of Time from the PULSE collection. Pink Floyd knew how to excel at live performances.

" the song is over..thought I had something more to say."...Said more than enough.
My favorite song by my favorite band. As I get older, this song really gets to me. How much time I've wasted. It keeps marching on no matter what, and if you keep putting things off they'll never happen.
Molly Hatchet- Dreams I'll never see.
How come a fifty year old album still sounds brand new
"Life is what happens while you're waiting for your life to begin." I've been trying to get this through my wife's head for years now 😥
I used to play this one to my son he is now touring the world playing guitar
To get the best out of this album you have to listen straight through, as the songs are all linked.
i feel like it depicts that under the sun nature is perfectly in tune, like a straight line of life and death, but then something interferes, humans. And once that happens natures course gets split and divided into many different colours and directions of life. If you stray far enough off course, you end up on the Dark Side Of The Moon, where the light never shines.

A lot of comments came close but..
Physics- “ total internal refraction“
When a white light passes through a prism it separates into colors.
(Colors have physical wavelengths.)
Sunshine through raindrops create rainbow. Is one example.
Pink makes ya think.
Peace on earth.
I grew up on pink Floyd because of hippie parents, but never truly appreciated the "experience" until I smoked weed and vibed out.
Not condoning marijuana use, but anyone who does, ...you should put on some Floyd with some headphones, close your eyes and just.....go
Lol
I second this motion, and DO condone the use of marijuana! 😂😂😂
Pot or psychedelics just open the door to a deeper understanding. Once that door is open you're on the path to discovering "purpose". The rest is up to you.
Floyd doesnt record singles, they record entire concept albums. You need to hear it all..
Will do!
@@MontWRLDtv Hey my man try Floyd 1969, song Ummagumma, also the name of the entire release. Fire!
Widely considered to be one of the three or four best guitar solos of all time
This was a revolutionary lp in many ways. From the writing to recording, engineering, production, instruments, vocals, to the lyrics. I still remember my brother telling me to listen to this lp and putting the headphones on.... One of my all time favourite lps that has, indeed, stood the only test, the test of Time....
Honest reaction bro and you followed well . This band is very technical instrument wise and life testimony . This band is so creative. Good Day
Each year that passes represents an ever smaller part of our lives and so seems to pass ever faster. I remember 10 years being half a life time in my 20s. Now a decade is just another thinner slice of the whole.
That's exactly why it "appears" to be moving quicker. ✌🏼
David Gilmour doesn't plug his guitar into the amp; he plugs in his soul! This one is kinda like the circle of life. One day you're young, with no cares in the world, all the way through to the Iron Bell calling you to hear the softly spoken magic spell. Birth to death. Kinda freaky, yeah? So you've just had a Pink Floyd Moment. Welcome, my son... Welcome to the Machine. We're heading to the Dark Side of the Moon. Enjoy the ride.
50 years have got behind me since I first heard it
oui j'ai 71 ans et je n'ai rien vu passer, cette chanson est immortelle ,pas moi: j'ai l'impression à chaque fois de me retrouver ailleurs et je suis bien: les paroles tellement vraies
merci je vous mets un lien: c'est un groupe anglais la chanson est sortie en 1967 ruclips.net/video/MjUqfRrWwcM/видео.htmlsi=VM3ljcy-LfwmjLXk et si vous le voulez je vous ferai connaitre un chef d'oeuvre d'un artiste français qui est âgé maintenant, bonne écoute
Pink Floyd is an amazing musical "rabbit hole" to go down. Tons of music. Melodic and lyrical genius. You will not regret hearing a single song.
Maybe Sysyphus Part 2
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Pink Floyd!
As a 60 year old deep pink floyd fan i can only say floyd is a deep feeling to enjoy you need to be relaxed
True but also need to put on headphones and read the lyrics while listening so you get the full meaning of the songs. I'm also 60, was born a few months before JFK was assassinated.
The triangle represents your awakening moment in life... and you could add anything at that point of the triangle ! Like discovering that album with a bunch of friends at another friend's house with his parents away for a long weekend !
The most iconic album of the last century.The album cover is light being defracted by a prism.
The album cover is a prism reflecting light, creating a rainbow.
You blew my mind with that interpretation of the album art. I was jamming to this album with dad at the age of 14 +. I had never thought of what it could possibly mean or how to interpret it. I can definitely feel what you are laying down there! WOW! I really like how you broke down the possible meaning behind it.
The album cover is a beam of light striking, and being refracted by, a prism. This is one of the Pink Floyd albums that should be listened to in it's entirety, from start to finish, as the original vinyl album had NO pauses between songs. Except, of course, when you had to flip the actual album over. In fact, you just listened to 2 songs, and did not even notice that you heard Time AND Breathe (reprise). The whole album is like that. Most reactors are able to do a side at a time. The other concept albums are Wish You Were Here (75), Animals (77) and The Wall (79).
If you do listen to the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb, be sure to check out the UNCUT version, or you risk missing over one minute of the guitar finale. Most people miss it, if you check out the views, it is a crying shame.
Pink Floyd 'ease you into the music' for a long time on many occasions 😄
This song was my alarm clock back in the 80s. XD. Woke me up INSTANTLY.
David Gilmour: Guitar GOD!
At age 72, this relates...........
The sun is the same in a relative way but, you’re older doesn’t mean anything until you hit 70!
I’m 62 and it relates. 😑
Pink Floyd’s music had meaning (still does). You have to pay attention.
The album cover is a prism. a glass or other transparent object in prism form, especially one that is triangular with refracting surfaces at an acute angle with each other and that separates white light into a spectrum of colors.
used figuratively with reference to the clarification or distortion afforded by a particular viewpoint. "they were forced to imagine the disaster through the prism of television"
This entire album is amazing. 45 minutes well worth it. This song is great and the older I get the more I understand. Was great as a kid listening to my pops records and listening to it again it's so poetic and true.
Oh I bet it is bc I always get lost in the great vibes :)
Yeh buddy! Live pulse concert does this whole album second set. Every song is fire.
If you get the "Time" (no pun intended) listen to this entire album uninterrupted as it all blends together so well. Welcome to one of if not the greatest band of all time. Their songs will make you think.
Pink Floyd`s albums are meant to be listened from start to finish in order.
Noted!
"Time is slipping away, passing us by. Now, don't cry because it's gone. Gone forever my freind and it won't come again. It's moved on and left us behind"
Thank you! i really enjoyed your reaction! xoxoxoxo!!!!!
If you’re just starting to get into Pink Floyd there a group called Brit Floyd that tours and they are amazing. They play all the hits and they play em gooooood
It’s so universal! Behind…don’t we all feel that way at some point? No matter who hears this song…it connects. Love your reaction young man! 😽🎶💕
Thanks, Mont! to appreciate PF takes a lot of patience.. glad you stuck with it.. a great song.. especially lyrically... enjoyed your reaction and look forward to more.
This was / is SUCH a tune - the whole setup from beginning to end is just genius. Great reaction.
"guess time's up" - Yup, exactly what the song is about.
You're so lucky. I wish I could go back. Back and never have heard them again. Enjoy the journey, because they don't play fair. They touch the deepest recesses of your soul in ways people close to you never could. They don't have a genre or a style. They're 1 of 1.
You just made this gramma very happy! My generation had the best music! My grandkids would be amazed at how cool we were with the music, muscle cars, pharmaceutical enhancements, and lots of time outside! Whew, no wonder I'm tired! LOL!
Pink Floyd, Great Gig in New Sky, please do the studio version Claire Tori kills it.
The song makes you think because the lyrics are poetry. Roger Waters is one of the finest lyricists in the history of rock'n'roll. Just read the lyrics on this album. They're little poems.
It's a beam of light refracting through a prism giving off the colours of a rainbow. In fact that's is exactly how rainbows are formed.
I grew up with the band Pink Floyd and you really need to listen to the words and next check out Pulse and comfortably numb ..
The older you get, the more the lyrics of this song mean. We only have so many grains of sand in our hourglass... what we do with those moments we have, that's what matters.
Was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd in 1975 at the Knebworth Festival in England. I was 15 years old and already had the Dark Side of the Moon album. It was a beautiful summer evening when they came on stage. They started with songs from their 'Wish you were here' album which was just about to be released. Then they went offstage and came back on when the sun had gone down. They proceeded to play the whole of Dark Side and it was incredible. For an encore they did 'Echoes' from the Meddle album.
The thing on the cover is called a prism. It separates the various color frequencies of light from white light to its component color wavelengths
Awesome. Pink Floyd music is best listened to in the dark, candles lit and in the “ right frame of mind” lol.
It's time ticking away from the moment of birth until death. And everything in between.
The cover image is white light going through a prism. A prism separates white light into its individual colors. When you see a rainbow, the raindrops themselves are acting as the prism, busting the sunlight into its component colors.
I grow up listen in to heavy metal and I see lots of group and I still listenin today age 64
Different genre... you might like it... check out *Bernadette Peters* singing Hank Williams' song 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'. (Good version on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.)
In the 70s with headphones on and my black light. Stoned. Tx.
Probably the greatest album of all time,, and it must be listened to in its entirety from start to finish... it's your life birth to death...
Used to listen to this alot when I was younger. Amazing and others like money and wish you were here. I'm 51
By the way, great reaction video, keep up the hard work.
Listen, he's trying to teach you something. In the words and the Music., it goes together, it expands your mind.
Well we had one in science class it's called a prism and separates light into different colors Great reaction rock on
Basically, this is a concept album, with each song designed to explore some aspect of life: Breathe (birth), Time, The Great Gig in the Sky (death), Money, etc. It's masterful, and spent literally about a decade on the top selling albums lists. Amazing songwriting, and the guitar work by David Gilmore is epic. So different from other great guitarists (Hendricks, SRV, etc), but hauntingly beautiful. Enjoy the album!!!
Love the way he's grooving at the start and when the lyrics kick he's like "oh man"
😳😳🕺🏽
Pink Floyd always have awesome sometimes long intros , it’s a part of the Floyd experience, Floyd are the bomb
Deep stuff here, glad you got to hear it
"The time is gone, the song is over, thought i'd something more to say" - Life
Great breakdown of an amazing album 💿 at least you have the intelligence to fully appreciate this masterpiece Mary, I do appreciate new found connections, people finding this for the first time!!! and getting the true vibes and understanding from a modern piece of classical music 🎧
The cover for symbolises we are only a jumble of atoms in a fluke of the universe. So experience and enjoy. The prism shows even light is made of different things.
Every new PF listener goes through the same experience...they're all light hearted UNTIL the music and lyrics grab them...and the realization that this music is different to anything they've heard to in the past and start really listening. That's when they truly GET PF.
One does not simply listen to "Time". One _experiences_ it. If anyone upon hearing that "10 years have got behind you" refrain, doesn't ask themselves, "What have I been _doing_ with my life?!" they've either led a fulfilling life, or have zero introspection.
As for the album cover, it's a beam of light going through a prism.
Stands the test of time 50 yrs later, Gilmour vocals, Wright keyboards, Nick Mason drums, and of course the Gilmour solo
So MANY more tremendous songs by pink floyd. Loved the beginnings with Syd Barret, thru the Wall, and Final Cut, Even liked Roger Waters Radio Kaos, Gilmour's solo stuff, About face is still one of my favorites
