I lay on the roof of my house in the north of Scotland and looked at the stars, listening to this on my cheap record player shortly after it came out. I was 14. I'm 59. It feels just as fresh.
Listening to this song in the dark or under a starry sky is definitely an experience
I was thinking this when watching. It needs to be in the DARK!
@@juliannecorley2704 Absolutely, it’s my go-to song, chilling in bed before falling asleep and I love to listen to it in the middle of the night when it’s pitch black.
Nothing is fresher than a roof in the north of Scotland mate ;)
Experiences like those are priceless
Floyd isn't just music, they are a feeling. Every album is a journey from beginning to end. Each one tells a story. Absolutely brilliant
their early stuff not so much...it wasnt untill they moved away from the psychedelia that they start telling real stories.
Timeless music all ages can appreciate
Music music music *insert cliche about society that is obvious and easily comprehensible* more music ....
I do agree its a journey
He's not lying
Thirteen minute song. Eight minute intro. Three minute outro. About two minutes of actual singing. And still, deeper than most other songs.
Well put, and couldn't agree more. I grew up with Floyd and other bands of their time and to this day their music stands tall and powerful. Today's music could take some lessons
@Jake Groves listen to some Frank Ocean. I reccomend his album Blonde. He's a genius and you'll see much of Floyd's, The Beatles, and many more artist's Influence in his music
Second part of this song is repetitive though
This part is amazing, it gives goosebumps whenever i listen it but second part naahh, i skip it
exactly, wes alker-well said
Best modern music close to pink floyd I would have to say check out Porcupine Tree. Very much inspired by and reminiscent of pink floy. Great stuff
My 16 year old son just asked me who this was playing .......my work as a parent is complete 🤣🤣🤣
You did it sir, you did. Hats off to you!
😂
Arise Sir..
Awwwww😃
Actually...the lessons are just really getting started my friend, sounds like a good start though. 👍
You dont need drugs to enjoy pink floyd, but you need pink floyd to enjoy drugs
Extremely underrated comment
Bruh... that is so deep... who said that? Socrates? Plato? Aristotle??
Yes and no. I can listen to PF either way and enjoy it just the same. However, a few hits from a bong never hurt any situation. I've been listening for 46yrs and it never gets old or boring.
@@jagdeepkaul1261 Cheech & Chong
Of course you don't.
David Gilmour doesn't need an amp, he just plugs the cord into your soul.
Funny, I've always said Pink Floyd is like a fist that punches through your chest and grabs a hold of your soul and does whatever it want to do with it.
@SUEZ365 thanks. I watch these youtuber first reactions to Pink Floyd I've heard I don't know who he is of course but they are all so close but don't say Pink Floyd is an experience like they've never had before. Every Floyd song is an experience and they don't know to listen to the entire album for the entire experience!
The floyd 🔥🙏❤️
Poetic👍🏽
Boom
“Whoooo...I ain’t even realized they haven’t sang yet”......... that’s coz the instrumentals sing for them.
I cant listen to this song without crying it is so sad when you know that it is about a genuis who lost his sanity,the original singer Syd rest in peace Syd and shine on you crazy diamond.
When my friend "Diamond Dave" passed away many years ago, his parents arranged to have this song played at the end of the funeral service. Those first five minutes blasting from the church as we gathered to move him to the cemetery is one of the most 'connected' moments of humanity that I've experienced. The music definitely helped me get through a crushing moment in time. Over time, the sadness of the day faded into memory, but the human connection felt remains to this day.
Shine on~ ◇~ he reached for the secret too soon.......
It's great that they honour their roots. But if Syd had maintained control of the band's direction, we would have possibly been treated to See Emily Play (without David Gilmour) in many diffrerent iterations rather than the fabulous sonic landscape we enjoy now.
And now you know why people who listen to Pink Floyd like to get naked
It is amazing to realize, without Sid, there would be no Pink Floyd. There might have been something but not this. And he was gone before it came to fruition. There is a bit of a life lesson(s) for all of us in there I think.
This song is over 40 years old but still sounds futuristic to me whilst maintaining a strong underbelly of nostalgia...
45
When the saxophone(s) come in, it always feels like part of futuristic Blade Runner...
Which is ironic because Syd once visited the studio during the producing phase and he said that it sounded old.
The more you listen to Pink Floyd the sooner you will realize they have perfected the art of music.
"I didn't realize they hadn't sang yet" is the best. When the instrumentals are so good, the vocals are gravy.
I'm not ashamed to say that I shed a tear from the pure joy of watching this dude discover something he thought he could never experience.. Same when I first experienced Pink Floyd, and I say experience because you can't just listen to their songs, they're an experience above all and nothing ever compares, ever.
Yes!
What's most is his trying to understand where that 13 min ride took him to. Peace
Exactly, once heard, never forgotten. D. Mont The Genius that`s pure music talent that touches your Soul forever.
Join the club man
as did I... Welcome. You'll never be the same.
Fills my heart with joy to see your reactions to Pink Floyd young sir....please look kindly on us older folks when you see us in our old pink floyd shirts, walking down the street 😉
Anthony Jackson ~ I’m Sixty~Three.. I’ll Be “Right There With Ya”, My Friend!!!
Age shall not them weary.....!
Wore my WYWH shirt today lol
Right! I still wear mine!
and then one day you find 10 years have got behind you no one told you when to run
Every band fits in a genre.. Pink Floyd is a genre itself
100%
They classify bands like this into expiremental often, because of exactly what you've described them as. People have to find a way to put labels on literally everything. It's doesn't need to be that way with music.
In its time it was called 'progressive'.
i am 16 and grew up on this, it was my dads favorite band before he passed away at 46 earlier this year from a form of cancer
pink floyd means so much to me and i have so many memories attached to the songs and my dad
i recommend listening to “in the flesh?” by them it’s one of my favorites
so sorry for the lost of ur dad😔i hope music is helping you keep going❤
Bless you, young one. You’re gonna be ok. I promise.
I'm 16 as well and my dad died on march 12th. I played wish you were here at his funeral on my bass. Shouts out to our dads for giving us a great taste in music. Hope they'll meet in the great gig in the sky
Sorry for your loss and your dad left you something special alright. Music for the soul.
Your father had excelent taste.
Pink Floyd is one of those rare bands that people will be listening to a hundred years from now.
You don’t “hear” Pink Floyd, you “FEEL” them.
Preach brother.
💯
Amen
Imagine how we felt back in the 1970s when there were zero distractions like DVD players computers cell phones video game none of that stuff most of us had TVs with four or five channels at the most and a record player. Then out of the blue this kind of music comes along! I think you'll find Pink Floyd an almost bottomless rabbit hole. And the mechanical noises you heard at the end of that was the music transitioning into the next song "welcome to the machine". Just sit back and enjoy and you don't have to Bob your head to Pink Floyd because if you watch a concert with them you'll see very few people moving, most of the audience is usually mesmerised. Like I said earlier with Pink Floyd just listen and enjoy!
I was in grade school in the 70's... My mom married a man 10 years my senior. I literally grew up listening to this and much,much more.
Acid helped :) only way to truly experience the Floyd!
@ The book came out in the 50's if I'm not mistaken!! And it's a gem. I for one have never had a problem being mesmerized by both
I went to a Radiohead show in Cleveland in 2001 (I think? It was between Kid A and Amnesiac). But there were thousands of people at that amphitheater and it was motionless and silent during every song. That's what this type of music does. There is no substitute.
Radiohead has been compared to and basically has been called the Pink Floyd of the 21st Century! I read an interview with Thom Yorke stating that Pink Floyd was a major influence on some of the things that they do.
No one can bend a string like Gilmour. If this doesn't move you then you have no soul. So pleased to see this reaction to a band I have listened to for 50 years.
“PINK FLOYD IS NUMBER ONE; that’s all there is to it.”
Brother
You are a blessed man.
Back when music WAS music!
Music is still music bro
@@lucashimself_ Yeah and there's actually quite a lot of good bands still, they're just harder to find, maybe cause of how things are advertised now
@@vinnyvinnn And rock/prog isn't mainstream anymore, most bands that relate to those 2 genres are hardcore metal which isn't appealing everyone.
ok boomer
Music is always music. Our parents used to say our music...ie Pink Floyd wasn't music, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix had belly aches....bla bla. Don't become a closed mind, music is language, regardless of whether we understand it at the time.
Masterpiece... never ever ever get tired of Pink Floyd
you and I 40 years plus into listening LOL never gets old!!
Pink Floyd is so good that it is a drug in itself. No drugs, dark room, headphones, eyes closed. Absolutely unforgettable.
D.Mont, I am a 61 year old southern white man in Florida who listen to Pink Floyd as a pot smoker teenager and to see a young black man liking this music makes me think there is till hope for this country. God bless you!
@Jake Groves "obey us your new extra terrestrial over lords!"
Yeah , yeah but first have a listen to this..........
Ditto.....
Me to 61 yrs but I still smoke pot. Will until day I die. Listen to Pink Floyd and smoke pot 😎😎👍✌👌
I’m 62. Gave up smoking pot for gummies. Still obsessed with Pink Floyd.
"I didn't even realise they hadn't sang yet" I was waiting for that reaction 😆
You've got to read about the backstory to this song to fully appreciate it. This is an ode to their original band leader who had suffered mental illness. He is the Crazy Diamond. The song is about him.
The story of Syd Barret is sad, many years later he walked into the studio and none of them recognised him.
@@manofmystery666 He walked into the studio as they were recording this song too.
“Suffered mental illness” is a bit of an understatement lol dudes mental state literally snapped in half and he never recovered for decades
@@manofmystery666 it’s sad that they didn’t recognize at first
@@SugarcatPlays Too much acid.
4:23
Gets me everytime. I love that part so much it gives goosebumps knowing that it’s coming but still get a sense of euphoria when it does come. Simply amazing
It is amazing how Pink Floyd never sounds dated. I heard their music when it was new. 50 years later, their music in particular still sounds like the first time I heard it. The word talent doesn’t begin to describe what they had.
No one can escape from Gilmour's possessive chords
Little Old England has turned out some pretty Special Bands ! Pink Floyd , Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones ,The Who , The Beetles ! To name a Few ! All pioneers in their Sounds ! And Very Proud we all are Here !!
Add in the Moody Blues and Polcol Harem and Traffic, oh and Bowie.
Don't forget Sabbath and Priest. And, of course, there's a little Irish band called U2 who has sold a record or two.
And we can't forget all of the great New Wave acts of the 80's. Far too many to count.
As an American, I am grateful of the British Invasion as we called it.
Queen? Fleetwood Mac (more than half of them down the years), The Clash, Pistols, The Cure. So many influential talented folks come from our shores. Makes my absolute inability to hold a note in a bucket even more pronounced.
Can’t forget oasis! The last good one!
Yes, its strange indeed. U.K. is not so huge at all compared to the world, not so many people at all. But in music they are most probably the greatest, indeed. It's a little weird. I'm not from Britain and not biased at all. But have to accept the facts.
Haaaa, those 4 beautiful notes. It's like god just spunked in your ears. If I could play half as good as Dave, I'd be a very happy man.
😆
I think that is the best description of those 4 notes I have ever read 😂
No word's.Heres hoping that Dave doesn't spunk in my ears.
I don’t think they’ll ever be another group with this talent
Here in the Netherlands we have the 'Top 2000' songs between Christmas and NYE. This always comes in between number 10-20. For me, there is no NYE without this masterpiece❤.
As an "older" Brit who grew up listening to Floyd and Led Zepp etc I would say for one of Floyds best you need to look at - Echoes Live at Pompeii
The straight audio is amazing but I think being able to see the guys in 1972 playing in an empty Roman Amphitheater with no audience definitely adds to the experience especially in terms of doing a reaction video.
NONE of them are wearing masks though,tut tut.
Best film ever made. Have it on DVD. worth every penny.
@@TheCornishCockney I think they were in a quarantine "bubble" and the audience were definitely more than 2m away😂😂😂
Clearly 48 years ahead of their time!
Probably my fav piece of Floyd. The bass line on that track is immense.
My favorite song was off Umma Gumma. Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave grooving with a pict
It’s great to see younger people plugging into the classics. It means they’ll be around for quite a while to come. It also allows room for contemporary musicians who aren’t playing just 4 chord pop songs with minimal dynamics, and lyricists to really express themselves in a sophisticated, yet accessible way. Enjoy, like us oldies have for the last 6 decades!
If Dave Gilmore ran his fingers through your hair your scalp would sing.
Can I just say how much I love this?
I saw them in Cleveland in 1977 the animals tour ticket $15 best money I ever spent
That’s so lucky, Animals is such a good album

I was there at the Cleveland show in 77 also saw them in Hamilton ontario in 75 both great shows !!
@@thomasfutsch3163 just before I went into the army I saw them
You're probably my favorite FIRST TIME REACTION channel. You do a lot of listening and don't interrupt the song unnecessarily. I appreciate you opening up to this incredible music, the music I grew up on, the music of my youth.
Pink Floyd can become overwhelming and a little terrifying. Sit back, smoke a reefer while listening to Pink Floyd and while it's kicking in, Think of eternity and how the Universe has no beginning and no end. I swear the number of times I felt as though I was leaving my body and never coming back is crazy. I refer to it as Transition music. The emotions Pink Floyd evokes is how you might feel at the end of your life's journey, as you pass from this world into the next.
This song 2 tabs of acid a outdoor hot tub and A thunderstorm made the most unforgettable experience of my life
Absolutely envious of your experience
Sailing yacht, 3am gliding past the sweet smelling island of Dominica. This playing, spliff on the go & a falling star lighting up the mainsail, I swear we heard it sizzle as it hit the ocean. Magical.
Oh my God must have been incredible to say the least
@@analogkid4957 Literally, one perfect moment :-D
Sounds incredible I’m 55 now; I miss those days. Great times were had!!
For those who appreciate their music, time has no meaning when listening to Floyd.
Their song "Echoes" (studio version) is nearly 24 minutes and you'll probably be wondering where the time went on that one as well. That rumbling you heard there at the end of this one was going into "Welcome to the Machine" .. next track on this Wish You Were Here album. Might want to check that out next, or the title track, "Wish You Were Here".
Except when listening to "Time", of course :p
@@Imman1s got me. Lol
@@flubblert imo "Wish You Were Here" was their greatest track, best album was The Wall and best album side for me was side 2 of Dark Side.
No shit!The 24 min echoes is freaking awesome!!
I remember when I was in high school. I would have to get up and flip the record over and over and over in the dark. I remember playing it for hours.This album from front to back would take me to a place of peace and self fulfillment. I owe this album to my success in life. I was a young kid that was driven through an emotional journey of thoughts of joys as I was plotting my future. Unwittingly.
That was 20 years ago and I still own the original record and play it to this day.
The Fact this is Written about Syd Barret Makes it even more special and emotive ! RIP Syd !
Pink Floyd would open up a concert with this track as a tribute to Sid Barret, fortunately I was at one of their concerts
Yes he was a lost soul who missed out greatly ! I remember watching an interview pink floyd were doing & apparently Syd arrived at one of their studio rehearsals after a long while away from the band & he was standing in the session in the background & the band members didnt recognise him & thought that a random had gate crashed the studio until they later realized it was Syd . He was obese & balding & didnt say a thing to them i think they said .
I think that was the last time they saw him again .
great to see people still discovering this.
a small tip
headphones, in bed, lights off , pick a Floyd album, any album, listen from start to finish.
you can thank me later :)
Amen to that
Agreed
Animals would be my choice
start to finish
Unabridged version if possible. Me: I like Dark Side of The Moon.
I like the way Dave bends those strings.
Good use of the whammy bar Jeff Beck is the master of that technique
He's the Lord Of The Strings.
Never drops a chord, never a fault.
yeah fr it’s so amazing
God I love this whole album.
ilove pink floyd
God loves it too,
It pleases me so much to see you young people falling in love with this wonderful music. The 70’s were a magical time for music. Enjoy the ride
Floyd didn't go into a studio and bang one out. They thought of the world and brought us along on their journey and produced an experience for us.
This may be the most beautiful piece of art I have yet witnessed. You’re privileged to be listening for the first time. Much ❤️
Thank you my young friend for discovering the music that changed us and informed our lives and then waited for you to eventually find it! Bravo!
Pink Floyd laid out a soundscape that we mere mortals only pass through
Oh, your reaction is so beautiful and touching... Thanks for that wonderful moment you shared. Love from France 🇫🇷😘
You're right, Pink Floyd is number one, happy you love them ❤️
The guitar player is David Gilmore one of the most under rated artists, he can make that guitar speak with out words.
I don’t think his ever been underated at all , wot makes you think that 🤔
I think that he is a bit overrated. He did some nice work, but I prefer other guitar players. I love Pink Floyd more because of Barrett and Waters songs than for Gilmours good guitar playing.
@@pluso well one things for sure dude , is that you’re unique , don’t think there’s many of you’re kind about in this world that can share you’re opinion
@@peterwright5249 It depends. I have studied classical guitar with well known teachers since I was 11 years old. All of them liked also Rock music, none of them liked Pink Floyd (Pink Floyd is my favorite rockband, by the way). My last teacher, who is one of the greatest guitar players ever, hated them. I have won many schollarships and studied in Chile, USA and Germany. I have always been around classical musicians, jazz musicians and songwriters. Only a few of them shared my love for Pink Floyd. A lot of them professional guitarists didn't like Pink Floyd because of Gilmour's playing, which I can totally understand, since some of his solos are so incredible obvious and uncreative that you could totally fall sleep. I don't think Gilmour is bad, I just think he is overrated and I think most of my collegues would agree. Pink Floyd is interesting because of Barrett and Waters songwriting and none of them could play instruments very well, only Gilmour, but he wasn't a virtuoso either. He couldn't even play Money without changing the time signature.This is me by the way, playing the Aranjuez concert with an orchestra in Germany., just so you know that I am not just making shit up.ruclips.net/video/gVq8D7mavB4/видео.html
@@pluso thanks for you’re opinion but facts don’t lie , for every i person that shares you’re opinion of gilmoure there’s hundreds of thousands that are the tottal opposite, you’re playing classical guitar even thoe it’s on stage there’s again hundreds of thousands that can do that as well , but no one can do up till yet do what gilmoure does to a tee .
Dark side is unbelievable of course, but this is my favorite Floyd album
Another great one
Is an ep
@@dylamzzz5624 when an EP is better than most of their albums I just call it an album probably what this dude did too
Hard to pick one really. Every time I try I just can’t make up my mind. Love Meddle but The final cut is so dark and personal. Then you have the more commercial ones like Dark side, Wish you were here, The wall, Animals etc.
@@ramonhinojoza3315 Commercial? Seriously?
I can’t imagine what it feels like hearing that for the first time again
Not many things I remember from my youth, but the first time I heard this, I could never forget. Sunny day, driving to Napa Auto Parts with my dad in Molalla OR, came on the local classic rock station at that time. 92.3 KGON. Must’ve been 11 or 12. Unforgettable.
How much music sounds this good 46 years later?
Love all your reactions. I discovered floyd when I was 17 in 91. I was obsessed. Still listening to all their albums after all these years. So glad I got to see them live in 94
Was that at earls court? Division bell concert?
As soon as I saw the title I just smiled. I knew this one was gonna hit you in places you didn't know you had. And just think, you've only begun to tap into their vast library of musical achievements. Can never bring myself to call them songs because they're so much more. Enjoy it brother, I'm loving following your journey
One of THE greatest bands of all time! Was introduced to them at 13 by my late uncle and it opened up so much other music to me. Just breathtaking the music they made, will be listened to forever. NOBODY from today comes close to their genuis. Was a pleasure to see your reaction 🤞
You will not find any band with as much grace, elegance, chops, and soul as Pink Floyd.
The way you reacted in this video just made me an instant subscriber... it reminded me of my own reaction many years ago when I discovered the extreme talent that Pink Floyd has... it is just crazy good music and it is produced to the highest standards of what was possible at that time. There is a reason for why nobody makes cover versions of Pink Floyd music... you cannot improve perfection! Thanks a lot for doing this video and I am looking forward to watch more videos on your channel. Take care, Will.
Me too! His reactions and appreciation for these treasures made me hit Subscribe after Comfortably Numb.
Martin miller and his band did cover of Pink Floyd, which quite amazing (at least for me)
I can’t even explain to you how much I was feeling it along with you!
love watching First Time Floyders.. it's like remembering your own first time..
If only I could hear it for the first time again...
@@crystalprice7858 I've got the same. I'm wathing this reactions 3 or 4 day, always the same "songs" and I always have shivers.
“Pink Floyd is #1. Until I hear something better, that’s just it.” Well said, my man. They’ve been my #1 for 50 years and I still haven’t heard something better.
The album is part a critique of the music industry & a lament for their former band mate, Syd Barrett who left in 1968. Amazingly, when they were recording this in 1975, Syd turned up randomly at the studio. Wish You Were Here is just stunning. Like Floyd albums of the 70's, you need to listen to the whole album as it all flows together.
Dude...Dark Side Of The Moon...from beginning to end. It WILL change your life!! Have the lyrics with you.
Us and them about opposite sides!!! What for?
@@anthonylovavto3228 The entire album is about petty conflicting points of view.

That's the floyd... so fckin powerful, timeless, deep...
I love watching young people discover the music that I grew up with. And anyone else that was around then knows that it was coming to us from all directions and genres. And like our muscle cars we took it for granted things would always carry on that way. Would not swap my moment in time for anything! D. Mont, major props for you manner of presenting the recordings. (and not constantly using the "words" that we all knew by the fifth grade)
David Gilmores guitar sound is so f***g clean. Great reaction. I felt that with you :-)
Drop the ear buds and invest in headphones. Pink Floyd is headphone music. Always and forever!!
and a record player
I like speakers. With floyd you want to feel the vibrations in your body.
@@cenccenc946 I have some huge speakers connected to my record player so it’s either headphones or the speakers I love it
Obviously you have never heard decent stereo setup :)

@@pasbert4812 The Pulse version is perfection...
@@pasbert4812Say that about Sorrow. Say that about Breathe (in the air). Say that about Comfortably Numb.

It is honestly the coolest thing in the world to listen to someone listen to the music you have loved your entire life!
One of the best bands in the world. I will nevere tire of listening to Floyd.
Glad to see somebody else enjoying their genius.
This was the window to my soul...when I was 17, 1979. Maybe still is.
I've been waiting for you to get to this one. Personally, I feel that there is no better than what you just heard. I'm 50 years old. I've listened to all kinds of music in my life. More than you might imagine. In my opinion, there is no artist out there that is as cerebral and emotional as Pink Floyd. And to me, Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Echoes are the crown jewels of their catalog
This could be the greatest song I’ve ever heard in my life
"Wish You Were Here" for me was their best track.
I'm the same, bought The Wall on my 13th birthday and still haven't heard a better band than Pink Floyd. I've been listening to these songs for forty years and they still make me react like it's the first time I've ever heard them. Without doubt or exception the best band ever.
Echoes is almost 30 minutes long, possibly the longest song I know, yet it's such a blissful ride.
@@chitlitlah Amen. On the rare occasion that I smoke a little weed these days I like nothing more than to listen to "Echoes" on headphones in a dark room. Truly sublime.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day....come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that, pour another, drink that, then pour another one and go turn off all the lights. Put this record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into it and sip away the final drink, and let the music soothe your soul !!!
Hell yeah I totally agree. Have bee there enough times myself. A glass of good vodka and a nice fatty to toke on

I want this at my funeral. And if it ain’t being played, I ain’t coming. It ain’t me in that casket. I mean that.
Brings a smile to my face, every time im chilling to Crazy Diamond.
This is only the first half of the song. The second half closes side two.
Parts 6 to 9 are even better, in my opinion.
....Closed side two of the vinyl record.... part 1-5 and part 6-9 bookend the album.
Its so worth it tho 😊
@@fordprefect9296 respectfully helllllll nooooo
A tribute to their erstwhile band member, Syd Barrett, who lost it on drugs in the 60s. SYD = Shine on You crazy Diamond.
It’s a ride. This band’s music has helped me throughout my life. It’s incredibly soothing even though it’s so sad.
Just like life
The greatest track Pink Floyd ever created. If this doesn't move your soul from side to side in a gentle soothing motion then I'm afraid your soul has left you for another... love it... Great reaction too.. glad that you are now a convert matey. 👍🏻👍🏻
my favorite cover of this song is by 2 jewish guys playing outside on a streetcorner in Jerusalem, its really amazing , of course this song is just amazing
Have seen that vid many times
They are awsome
Have been listening to Floyd since the seventies best band in the world
In my opinion
Am an old man now but still love Floyd
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 yes make you so right there , it’s so raw just the 2 of them 💪
i just watched that video man
Oh wow yes! I know that video, it blew my mind when I first watched, its a crazy surprise when you see and hear how they are fully connected to the song, they play it amazingly well you can see they feel the song like it's meant to be felt.
I saw that video. It just proves that music is universal.
Parts 6-9 is a must listen, its really so good and very underrated compared to the first half
Pink Floyd is a master of sparsity. Each note is given time to develop, each instrument is given room to extend to the fullest.
Loud is given the silence in between, only in contrast to silence loud is REALLY loud.
That is an art in itself.
(note to loud: that is even physiological. When you listen to something that has constantly the same noise level, your noise perception diminishes. It will recover in a few hours or days to the original level, but if not given time, it may permanently cause hearing loss.)
I'm sitting hear with tears falling. Watching you hear this song is exactly how I felt the first time I heard it. And feel every time I hear it. Heart and soul. 💖
yeah man, glad you liked it, musical masterpiece, parts 6-9 still to come I hope. Then perhaps let these guys really stretch their legs with all 23 minutes of Echoes when you have the time. Nobody like em before or since, meaningful songs married with instrumental quality and perfect sound was their thing, unique band, untouchable in my mind. Peace bro x
Now take that first transition that was in the Minor chord and look at your reaction to it. Now imagine being 16 years old and having just bought this album, you have headphones on and have just smoked a fat joint. I want you to imagine what was like not only growing up in this era, but experiencing this incredible music and almost taking it for granted. It was an awesome time to be a teenager. Pink Floyd were my nighttime guardians
My all time favorite Pink Floyd song
Best thing about this reaction (aside from seeing the pure musical joy you get from it) is that you respect the music enough to not stop the track. You just let it play.
Ok, try this pink floyd great gig in the sky
Nice to see people discover Pink Floyd. My all time favorite! Animals, the entire album, is fantastic, definitely different. Learning to Fly is a great option to react to. Enjoy!
the 3 albums before dark side are just as good as the 3 after. they are all so good i can’t rank them
Great taste!
I have enjoyed Pink Floyd since basic training in 1986 and was able to see them live, center stage, 5 rows back in Manheim Germany. (It was like seeing God) Simply the best concert I have ever been to. Put your headphones on, clothes your eyes, and go on a journey. Their music can bring you to tears!
This song has been with me since I was a little boy. I'm 55 now and I can't stop listening to it.
The album runs straight through and you should try it out. Their last five albums are all concept albums and tell a story or revolve around a theme. To get the full experience lay back with your headphones and dive in. It’s the only real way to experience Pink Floyd.
floyd isn't music you listen to, its music you feel and experience, i can still remember hearing this the first time, too many years ago to count, but i still get the goosebumps every time i hear it
Me & my wife met in 2012 and I still remember one of my favorite moments/cheap date was going to Hastings and buying the Pink Floyd Pulse live album. I bought some Mickey 40’s then went to the park and we sat there & listened to both discs
...that’s some baby makin’ music right there 🙌😁
I was there the night Pulse was recorded. 27 years ago. That night will never leave me. A musical masterpiece.
Thanks Brother... you did what i call " slipped a Grove" you went a place that is of peace and comfort.
