one of the highest selling albums of all time. it makes sense to experience DARK SIDE OF THE MOON in one go, the whole album. it is a concept and the songs do merge into one another.
Pink Floyd’s early influences were from blues music. Even the name “Pink Floyd” is in recognition of 2 Black American southern blues musicians named Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
Yeah that's right Syd Barrett named the band The Pink Floyd Sound after the blues musicians Anderson and Council however at that time they were everything but influenced by the 'Blues', Syd was a genius original virtually one of the very first psychedelic musicians!
@@78yestor93 You are correct about Syd Barrett being a genius and an innovator. Roger Waters, a co-founder of Pink Floyd, spoke of the blues influence on the band in an interview. He would know.
No artist or band, that I have ever experienced, can set a mood quite like Pink Floyd. You must listen to the music whole album, in order (I am sure that many others will give the same advice) This is the beginning and has pieces of varying sounds etc. that will appear. I believe that it is one of the top 5 or 3 selling albums of all time.
When cd’s first came out, “Dark Side of the Moon” and AC/DC “Back in Black” were the first two I bought. This album truly is best listened to as an album. The parts are amazing; but when listened to as a whole, it’s another level entirely. 💜
I have seen many great groups and performances live and in person, including Pink Floyd (twice). The best 2 live concerts I have ever attended were Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd.
Between 1977 to 1982, I was working part time at the Montreal Forum, as an employee, I had the opportunity to see all the concerts and hockey games presented at the Forum. Among others: Queen, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, Moody Blues, The Woo, Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Supertramp, Nazareth, and many more. The best job of my life. But, the four best concerts that I had the opportunity to see during my life, were not presented at the Montreal Forum, but rather at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal: Pink Floyd, In The Flesh Tour, July 6, 1977, Pink Floyd, A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, May 11, 1988, Pink Floyd, The Division Bell Tour (Pulse concert), May 23 and 24, 1994*. *My employer (Labatt Breweries of Canada) was the sponsor for the three shows in Montreal, they were offering employees discounted tickets, in addition to a draw of a few dozen tickets I bought mine for May 23 and I won those (a pair) for May 24.
This album does take you away to ... a realm off this earth. I still lay back on my bed, 2 pillows under my head, headphones on, and just listen to the entire album from start to finish. It truly does remove me from where I am, just listening hard to every note and word and chord...Keep up the great work, you guys make me smile daily...
The first time I heard this song was in 1973 while driving to work. I pulled off the road so I could write down the songs name when the DJ gave it out. Later that week, a dozen of us were at an after work party when the host said he just got a new album and he wanted us all to hear it. The record went on the turntable and we all sat in a circle on the floor passing a "cigarette" around. Nobody said a word through both sides of the album, we were mesmerized.
The Dark Side Of The Moon album set the record for most weeks on the Billboard album chart! This song always reminds me of coming home well stoned, putting my Koss headphones on, lying on my bed, putting this on and melting into it, haha!
how did young men from england come up with this?How do you write this?Where does this come from?How do you get this dang deep into life and they were young guys when they created this song.......its a journey..each song takes you to another place in the universe...its a trip and its a long trip to a new place that you go...how does music do that to a person?I dont know....
For me personally pink floyd are just constantly asking questions of us and we all have our own take on it . us and them, dogs pigs sheep, time,great gig in the sky this song etc etc.. they question your thoughts on life in general, forcing you to judge yourself on which side of the fence you are on . Or maybe im stoned🥴🤣😆 pink floyd are on another level
The ability to be deep without sounding like your trying is one of the most important aspects of meaningful art or lyrics, and Pink Floyd has that down.
I was still in high school I am now 68 years old first time I've heard this song I was 17 and even now it just amazes me today's music has no comparison take a step back and hear your best
When Mel said “ It doesn’t get better than Pink Floyd” she’s so right one of THE greatest bands ever check out my personal favourite Welcome to the Machine or Us and Them 👍🏻
Thank you for showing the world the beautiful experience of Pink Floyd. The younger generation may or may not have listened to them. But watching your videos, you know what I'm talking about.
This album is unique and phenomenal! None of the songs end, they continue one into the next. The story of life I believe. Breathe represents beginning of life and the last one Great Gig in the Sky’ is the end All the songs in between are about life. There is not one bad track on this album. It’s beyond awesome❤️
Hey guys, grab a bottle of wine and whatever else makes you feel good and play the whole album. You've already done a lot from this album but when you hear them together it will be like hearing it for the first time - I promise. Peace and love ✌🏼✌🏼
I just subscribed to your channel.. The Pink Floyd listenings being the catalyst.. Welcome to the world I have loved and enjoyed since the early to mid 80's..
I was lucky enough to see them three times in concert live. What shows they were. But years before my first Floyd concert, when I was still in my early teens, there use to be a traveling show called The Pink Floyd Laser Light Show, that I would go see when it came to town. It was held inside a domed building or large tent and was a laser show timed to their music. You would lie on you back staring up at all the lasers and lights dancing off the walls and roof, drifting out of reality into a Floyd dream. Brett, Clayton, NC.
Shawn got it, and had to rewind….ALL of us did this in ‘73………Shawn and Mel, smoke a bowl, and listen to DSOTM from start-to-finish…..It touches on everything that influences mankind…Money, Time, Prejudice, Existentialism, God, and Ego…..Hope you have the same experience that hundreds of millions had before you!….✌️
If you listen to The Wall, you really need to listen to the entire double album start to finish as it is even more deeply connected a concept album than Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd is one of those bands that if you really , I mean really.. listen to their music it gets deeper than you could ever dream . The album that Breath is off of ( Dark Side of the Moon ) is really meant to be listened from cover to cover in one sitting . Every song flows seamlissly to the next . Simply an amazing album. I first heard ..umm.. experienced Dark Side in the late 70s when I was in high school, Since then ( graduated in 1982 ) I have ALWAYS had a copy of Dark Side in some form as well as many of their albums ... Take the time and experience all their music,this is a rabbit hole that you guys will really enjoy !!
I've been watching alot of American reactions from different people .just wanna say .you guys nail it in comparison .Shawn an mell you nailed it on ,you speak with emotion and truth and you feel the music .keep up the good work.from an ordinary man from across the pond .much love ❤️👍
The name came from two blues musicians in Barrett's record collection; Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. You can sort of get the feel of what they listened too >
WOW!!!! love pink floyd. have not listen to them in about 30 years until shawn and mel an S&M fam. started reaction to them really forgot that they are awesome band and a very deep thinking about life. great reaction S&M thank you.
That look! 😳 That look around 2:40 when the two of you join the very many who have come before you on this ambient, musical journey that will change your corporeal essence forever! Welcome 🤝.
The album that this song is on, Dark Side Of The Moon, was on Billboard's top 200 albums chart from the time it was released until about 17 years later, something like 917 weeks. Longer than any other album stayed in the chart.
Was then and still is the best album ever recorded! I was in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam wae when I first heard this album...it was life-changing for me. I never heard anything like it!
"Breathe" Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, don't leave me Look around, choose your own ground Long you live and high you fly Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run, rabbit, run Dig that hole, forget the sun When at last the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one Long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide Balanced on the biggest wave Race towards an early grave
The first time I ever smoked weed, about an hour in was also the very first time I heard Pink Floyd . First song was hey you. Will NEVER forget that trip.
there is a reason why this group sold a collective 250 million+ albums they cast their aspersions to the stars and came up with the finger on the pulse of things relative to the day they wrote it and are still very relevant today .. perhaps even more so
Hi Shawn and Mel that was beautiful. When I was a teenager in Los Angeles, I often went with my friends to the Griffith Park Observatory. From 10 pm to midnight on Friday and Saturday nights they had a show in the planetarium called "Laserium the Music of Pink Floyd". You sat in seats in the round kind of like a small movie theater and the chairs tilted back so you could lay back and see the solar system and stars on projected on the ceiling. But for the laserium show the lasers were timed with the music perfectly and they would make beautiful designs on the ceiling. It was so peaceful, for an hour it felt like you were floating through another world. Whenever I hear Pink Floyd I think of that. I am so glad I was able to experience that. It was so cool.
What a small world! I used to go to those shows at the Griffith Observatory too! I moved to Topanga Canyon when I was 16 from Manhattan and my friends and I would smoke weed and go to those laser light shows. The Griffith Observatory building and grounds are really great places to explore, not just the planetarium. The view of L.A. is hard to beat.
I spend quite a few nights in a recliner staring at the dome of the Griffith Park Observatory watching this song at the Laser show... Great Gig In the Sky was my other favorite!
Used to borrow my Stepmoms Dark Side of the Moon cassette as a teenager in the 80's for my boom box. I had the album and it was in heavy rotation on the turntable when me & my Brother would go to sleep at night. Would always wake up in a good mood
Great reaction Shawn and Mel! Pink Floyd's artistry and talent are undeniable. Their music definitely draws you in. If you haven't reacted to the song "As" by Stevie Wonder, I think you'll really love it. I used some of the words of this song to recite to my wife during our 50th anniversary and vow renewal. I think it's a beautiful song for you two❤
I've been a Floyd fan (Wallnut?) since 1980. I'm still finding meaning in the lyrics. It was a few years ago I made the connection between "ride the tide," and the Moon. The Moon causes the tides. In "Brain Damage," the word "lunatics" refers to the Moon. It used to be thought that the Moon caused insanity, hence, "lunacy." Roger Waters's lyrics definitely go deep. Sometimes they go shallow, but he's definitely a master song writer.
I think that 'don't be afraid to care' is like don't lock your feelings and become apathetic because the world wants you to do that. You have to turn off your feelings to survive a lot of the time, and then when you want to turn them back on, you can't anymore. You're a shell of a person. A robot trained to dig holes and nothing else.
Pink Floyd is for listening to, preferably when walking or performing tasks not needing concentration. Only then can you lose yourself in it. I only discovered them in 1995, and I was mid thirties.
Shawn and Mel... Take those headphones, turn off the lights, recline back, take a deep breath, close your eyes and listen to the Welcome to the Machine. That's all I have to say.
The third or fourth biggest selling album of all time and still selling in big numbers, We really began to see Waters ideas, songwriting and lyrics take off.
enjoy your work. here's a few more song suggestions. 1. stylistics "payback is a dog" 2. main ingredient "I'm so proud" 3. blue Magic "stop to start" 4. the moments "gotta find a way"
one of the highest selling albums of all time. it makes sense to experience DARK SIDE OF THE MOON in one go, the whole album. it is a concept and the songs do merge into one another.
Floyd’s discography in the top 5 all time of any genre, DSOTM, The Wall, Wish you were here, all incredible masterpieces
@@Hawaii567 ANIMALS being my personal favorite one.
@@geraldherrmann787 Atom Heart Mother is my personal favourite.... But not many people like it.
Especially, "great gig in the sky" MUST always follow "time" to truly feel great gig.
Pink Floyd is my absolute favorite band of all time. Thank you for reviewing them again!! Love you both!
I feel the same way. Gods of music.
Ditto!
Pink Floyd’s early influences were from blues music. Even the name “Pink Floyd” is in recognition of 2 Black American southern blues musicians named Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

After 50-plus years of listening to Pink Floyd, they still take me on a trip. and the trip is never the same.

Album Division Bell is like that.
I have seen many great groups and performances live and in person, including Pink Floyd (twice). The best 2 live concerts I have ever attended were Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd.
And not Pink Floyd ?
I am envious!
👍🏼🎶💥
Between 1977 to 1982, I was working part time at the Montreal Forum, as an employee, I had the opportunity to see all the concerts and hockey games presented at the Forum. Among others: Queen, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, Moody Blues, The Woo, Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Supertramp, Nazareth, and many more. The best job of my life.
But, the four best concerts that I had the opportunity to see during my life, were not presented at the Montreal Forum, but rather at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal:
Pink Floyd, In The Flesh Tour, July 6, 1977,
Pink Floyd, A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, May 11, 1988,
Pink Floyd, The Division Bell Tour (Pulse concert), May 23 and 24, 1994*.
*My employer (Labatt Breweries of Canada) was the sponsor for the three shows in Montreal, they were offering employees discounted tickets, in addition to a draw of a few dozen tickets I bought mine for May 23 and I won those (a pair) for May 24.
I saw them on their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. I was so happy to be there as I've loved them for years.

You are exactly right, life is better with Pink Floyd in it. Thank you. 💜
YOU are so fortunate to be OPEN to the experiences of Pink Floyd. They expand you....
It's fun to watch you both fall in love with this band just like I did nearly 50 yrs ago.
The tempo change from the opening with the woman screaming to the softer music is simply brilliant.
The Dark Side Of The Moon album set the record for most weeks on the Billboard album chart!
This song always reminds me of coming home well stoned, putting my Koss headphones on, lying on my bed, putting this on and melting into it, haha!
You can almost hear the drums as a heartbeat and breathing at the beginning.
how did young men from england come up with this?How do you write this?Where does this come from?How do you get this dang deep into life and they were young guys when they created this song.......its a journey..each song takes you to another place in the universe...its a trip and its a long trip to a new place that you go...how does music do that to a person?I dont know....

Ever took LSD? Even a small piece changes your life and the way you look at things, it gets embeded in your personality
@@nunomuacho446 I agree, but...Pink Floyd is stronger than LSD
The ability to be deep without sounding like your trying is one of the most important aspects of meaningful art or lyrics, and Pink Floyd has that down.
Exactly!
I have owned this album in all its forms including a gold-plated CD version. I wore out the vinyl and cassette copies from so much play!
Byron, lol you was the kool kid friends and i hung around. Good times!

Pink Floyd DOGS with Lyrics PLEASE!!! 18 Minutes of Amazing sounds and THE LYRICS!!! Will blow you away!!

It’s amazing how you guys rub your eyes. I rub my eyes every time i listen to this track. It speaks to the heart.
If only I could hear pink Floyd for the first time again! What a great moment!
Great job guys!
Highly recommended you do "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" two tracks that have to be done as one😉😎
I grew up with Floyd since I was 12. Great to see this incredible music touch new souls.
Thank you for showing the world the beautiful experience of Pink Floyd. The younger generation may or may not have listened to them. But watching your videos, you know what I'm talking about.
You guys should react to…
Pink Floyd - Echoes (Live at Pompeii, 1972)
🎸🤘

I just subscribed to your channel.. The Pink Floyd listenings being the catalyst.. Welcome to the world I have loved and enjoyed since the early to mid 80's..
I wore this album out in my college dorm room when it came out. Great to see it's still finding new listeners.
Great reaction Kids... more Pink Floyd please
This album was on the billboard top 500 for over 16 years straight! 🔥

Wow this song takes me back to High school. This song is best watching the video or seeing it in concert. With the clock spinning, etc..
Once you hear the whole album you'll realize that this song starts with a little bit from every song that follows on the album.
Y'all would probably like most of ;the songs on that album. Check out The Wall, too. Love your channel, guys! :)
If you listen to The Wall, you really need to listen to the entire double album start to finish as it is even more deeply connected a concept album than Dark Side Of The Moon
It doesn’t get better.
Spread the word.
A lifetime of music
They like everything we tell them to like. Amazing how that happens!
I beg of you to listen to the great gig in the sky by Pink Floyd I am begging you with everything I have in my soul
The original STUDIO version!!
Yeah Pink Floyd is one of the best groups out there yell need to react to Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd

It's like a brain massage. Love ur reaction. ♥️💯😎

Purchased my first copy of this LP back in the summer of 1973.
The Dark Side Of The Moon... greatest song EVER!!!
"It doesn't get any better Than Pink Floyd". I agree!
I think there is a heartbeat or clock ticking or both throughout this whole album
I just love you guys. It's good to see a fresh perspective.
You can just feel the love with floyd,
One more comment, I have seen dozens of reactions to this album. Yours is the best, for real.🤟
WOW!!!! love pink floyd. have not listen to them in about 30 years until shawn and mel an S&M fam. started reaction to them really forgot that they are awesome band and a very deep thinking about life. great reaction S&M thank you.

"Breathe"
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground
Long you live and high you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
When at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
Long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
Balanced on the biggest wave
Race towards an early grave
It doesn't get any better than watching you enjoy Pink Floyd :)
The first time I ever smoked weed, about an hour in was also the very first time I heard Pink Floyd . First song was hey you. Will NEVER forget that trip.
If you ever get to Grand Rapids Michigan, go the Planetarium and see the light show to Pink Floyd music. It's amazing.
All my favorite Bands are British Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
Thank you for sharing this with me today
Love yalls reaction. Be blessed
there is a reason why this group sold a collective 250 million+ albums they cast their aspersions to the stars and came up with the finger on the pulse of things relative to the day they wrote it and are still very relevant today .. perhaps even more so

Wow! What an amazing compliment to Pink Floyd. I want to thank the squad for great requests.
Have I experienced Pink Floyd? I saw them 3 times in the 70’s heard all their albums thousands of times..my all time favorite band!
Great reaction Shawn and Mel! Pink Floyd's artistry and talent are undeniable. Their music definitely draws you in.

A lot of Pink Floyd is ment to be listened to full album at one sitting…lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸
Yes , more of this !
You guys are so blessed that you have encountered PF.
Oh wow guys 😳
Another great Pink Floyd album that you listen to with headphones, “Animals”
Shawn and Mel... Take those headphones, turn off the lights, recline back, take a deep breath, close your eyes and listen to the Welcome to the Machine. That's all I have to say.
On a side note ...the sound engineer was a guy named Alan Parsons (of The Alan Parsons Project fame). His stuff is legendary as well!
Great reaction, love your reactions, all the best from London x
I saw Mel get Floyded at 4:20
Next one from Pink Floyd - Coming back to life ( live to Pulse 1994 ) 😎👍 and Pink Floyd - Dogs ( with lyric ) = 17 min song .. 🎸🎶🎶
The third or fourth biggest selling album of all time and still selling in big numbers, We really began to see Waters ideas, songwriting and lyrics take off.
Breathe..Breathe in the air .. don't be afraid to care
I can’t remember what it was like first time I heard this - back in the 70’s. I think I know every sound in this album now.
I'd love to a reaction to the whole album! And how one song leads right into the next!❤
enjoy your work. here's a few more song suggestions.
1. stylistics "payback is a dog"
2. main ingredient "I'm so proud"
3. blue Magic "stop to start"
4. the moments "gotta find a way"
