This to me is the most beautiful piece of music PF ever did. Parts 6 through 9 are often overlooked and they’re well worth the journey as well. I mean there are other compositions that are beautiful too especially on Dark Side, but this is just especially great. On an album made when people had longer attention spans and had better taste as far as artistic masterpieces like this go.
When Pink Floyd was formed in the mid-60s, David Gilmour was not a member of the band. Pink Floyd was more a psychedelic band, with Syd Barrett their main composer, lead guitarist, and lead vocalist. Barrett dabbled in LSD, and while it may not have contributed, he suffered schizophrenia and was replaced by Gilmour in the band, which very much affected Roger Waters. The title of Wish You Were Here is a reference to Barrett. The concept of the album is the group's experience with the music industry, with Shine (on) You (crazy) Diamond being an outright tribute to Barrett, hence the SYD in the title.
Wow. I knew the story of this album and shine on were tributes to Syd. I did not know that the title 2as an accronim thank you. I still learning its been 20 years and I'm still.l learning...
Yes. It’s about how Syd was so creative when he was young then went crazy. The song talks about people laughing at him, his delusions, his raving, his fears, but he’s still a poet, a painter with words. But he still shines. While the band mixed the song Syd showed up and they didn’t recognize him at first as he’d gained weight and had a shaved head and eyebrows. They hadn’t seen him for years.
Beautiful piece of music , if heaven exists , those chords on Rick Wright's keyboard will be what you hear when you enter . Nice reaction to my favourite band.
I recall a few years ago, my son (he was about 14?), was looking thru my CD collection and pulled out this CD and asked "is this any good?" I told him "I'll let you decide". He grabbed his headphones and I must have been smiling ear to ear cuz he looked at me and said "what?". I just told him to lay back n let the music flow. He had no idea. After a few minutes he comes back out of his room and asks "is all their music this good?...ummm yep.
This song is about Syd Barrett, joint founder with Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. . Just do a google search will explain everything. The band members were and are still speaking about their love and respect for Syd's genius to this day
may syd's mind forever be free, may he have found a place where he can be safe and happy and as wild and beautiful as the canvas of the universe will allow.
I was 8 when I listened to this album for the first time with my by then brother-in-law. I never looked back, Pink Floyd became my favorites. I hav been to two stadium conserts in Oslo, Norway, 1988 and 1994. I am now 56 yo and still a big fan. I want to have "shine on you crazy diamond" played in my funeral.
Tell Jana when her world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put this or any Pink Floyd record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul !!!
Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond released 9/75: The lyrics refer to Syd Barrett an original band member that had taken what was believed to be a very potent dose of acid and burned /destroyed his thinking. Syd went from a slim Curley hared, bubbly, charismatic person to a shell of a person that a few years later the band would not even recognize him when he dropped in on them during a rehearsal session Syd was overweight barely any hair and you couldn't talk to him and make any sense of it. The band kept Syd compensated until his death in 2006. Syd was with the band from 1965 to 1968 after his problem he worked as a solo artist from 1969 to 1971 but didn't do much until his passing in 2006. Pink Floyd the Wall the movie 1979: ruclips.net/video/qDPRWQd2TE4T/видео.htmlhis is a must to understand the music it will use all the music on a 2 cd set in the production of the movie and gives the viewer an understanding of the music. This is a story of the wall a band member has constructed around himself mentally as he was totally protected by his mother after he lost his father in the war and about the breaking down of the wall to save the band member (Roger Waters).
Thank you for this information! Now that I'm reading the comments, I'm starting to remember how the lyrics were about Syd Barrett- I wish I had remembered that when we filmed this video, but I'm grateful for this comment and others that add that background. Thanks again!
@@NathanOnShuffle You might want to seek out David Gilmore's 'Von Trapped Family' videos on his channel where he talks about Syd and plays some of the music with his family. ruclips.net/video/056u0hnHsEE/видео.html Left is David's daughter, David playing guitar, His Wife Polly, His adopted son Charlie (From Polly's first marriage), Charlies wife, and daughter.
This apart from being an album that does lend tribute too Syd Barrett , highlights some of David Gilmours finest guitar work and the amazing late Richard Wright "s textural keys work.Hope you do Parts 6-9 as the track perfectly bookends the album. Nice Work!!
Really enjoyed this reaction video 😃 I love Pink Floyd's music, it takes my mind elsewhere when i need some time from the pressures of everyday life. Great video 👍 Liked & Subscribed for more fun.
Just stumble on your channel. I really like your reaction, particularly the fact that you don't interrupt/stop the music to talk or comment like most of other reaction videos. Much respect for that!!
Pink Floyd opened with this song when I saw them May 26, 1988 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Awesome does not begin to describe the experience. Like you Nathan this is also one of my favorite PF tunes. Glad Jana enjoyed it...
This would be amazing to experience live! I'm glad you agree with it being a favorite. I've always really loved it. I was afraid Jana would think the instrumental opening was too long, but I was pleased with her response!
I'm beginning to think Jana is Pop caterpillar transforming into a prog butterfly 🦋. That Pink Floyd concert was something else. At the time I was in the Marines stationed in Okinawa. I went home on 30 days leave. When I got back my best friend told me he had taken the liberty of buying me a ticket to the show. I had no clue they were going to be in town. My timing couldn't have been more perfect.
Syd Barrett actually walked into the studio during the recording of this. None of the other members had seen him in years and did not recognise him at first due to him having gained a lot of weight and being completely bald (as well as eyebrows). After a while they realised who he was and invited him in to listen to what they had recorded. He sat there with an emotionless blank look on his face through the album (that is about him) and when it ended he just took off the headphones and said "sounds a bit dated". He left shortly after and was never seen in by any of them again. He actually released a solo album after leaving Floyd and before totally losing his mind completely. It has a few good songs on it and Gilmour actually helped him with it and plays on it.
Very interesting! Thanks for the info! I’m really unfamiliar with the Syd Barrett era of the band as well as the solo album you mentioned- might have to check it out!
I like your complicity despite your differences. Nice reaction. You mention the mystical, spacey and even psychedelic aspect of this song, but to me, it's a heartfelt tribute to their childhood friend Syd Barrett. Here's why: 1st, the music recalls the musical style of Syd Barrett, a style (soaring or hovering) so to speak. 2nd, Their way of describing what their friend meant to them, a brilliant and inspiring musician (You shone like the sun). 3rd, Their respect towards their friend, in the description of his illness (schizophrenia), in the following lyrics: (Now there's a look in your eyes, - Like black holes in the sky). In contrast to the shining of the sun. (You were caught on the crossfire - Of childhood and stardom). As they say, "Success swells his head". (Come on you target for faraway laughter). Mental illness is unfortunately too often the target of mockery by some people.
Awesome. This Album is best listened to from start to finish, when you’re on your own. (Or together of course). Eyes closed, headphones on, nice and loud. As it’s meant to be. The same goes for, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’. Enjoy. 🎶❤️🎶
Should've told your wife to relax close her eyes let the music come to her without expecting anything to happen and it'll take her on that magical journey that's how my girlfriend experienced it and she understood it the first time and now it's one of her favorite tracks that helps her relax.
Its about and a tribute to Syd Barrett who left the band of early success and couldn't handle the fame, so drugs took over as his mind broke. The album is largely a tribute to him and the things that drove him to his madness.
I've never made any Prog requests on your channel, so I'll just give you a few. Curious to see which ones are already in the shuffle 🙂 YES: Sound Chaser U.K.: Nevermore. It's about 8 minutes long. Kansas: 'Song for America' or 'Magnum Opus' Enjoy 🙂
I already had the Kansas ones in my list. I have lots of Yes, but not Sound Chaser specifically, so I added it in. I have In The Dead of Night by UK on the list but not Nevermore, so I added that as well 👍
@@Lightmane I like Sound Chaser, but I appreciate avant garde/jazz fusion at times. For now, Jana appears to enjoy what she hears from Yes; are you aiming to undermine that? 😉
Oxygene part 2 by Jean Michel Jarre. It's classified as electronic, but also progressive. Turn the lights down, get some libations, listen to Dark Side Of the Moon, followed by Oxygene for a journey into deep space.
I think that everyone who is not ignorant must be influenced by this song. In my opinion (maybe it's not entirely objective, because I'm a lifelong fan of Pink Floyd) it's one of the absolute musical gems! Especially when you know the story and context of this song. I love it. Written by Richard Wright and in conjunction with David Gilmour's master guitar and Roger Waters lyrics, it's a caress of the soul! The whole thing is amplified by the original animated video clip (which you were supposed to watch ;-).
I agree with you! It's fantastic, and even more enhanced knowing the background behind it. I'll have to check out that animated video clip you mentioned!
👍😎 First time seeing you guys. Enjoyed that. Floyd is my favorite, saw them twice (with Roger) 75 they did Animals which wasn’t even out yet, whole Dark Side of the Moon and Echoes (have her listen to that, eyes closed and enjoy the ride) then in 80 The Wall opening night of the first show of that tour. If you can, watch Roger Waters The Wall concert. It’s long but it is actually better “show” than what I saw, only cuz of technology. I’ll keep checking you guys out, I’ve seen a lot of concerts (more than anyone I know) and I’ll share stories of them if you’d like.
Glad you enjoyed it! I certainly have Echoes on our list, so hopefully we’ll get to that one at some point. Those sound like some awesome shows! I feel like I missed out by not being around in the 70s to experience these great concerts- just born a bit too late I suppose! Feel free to share more concert experiences, I’m interested to hear about them!
Settling in to listen, so I don't know how much of the back story of the title of the album and this song in particular you go in to after the listen. If no one else goes in to it first by the time I finish viewing, and you haven't discussed it, I'll do what I can to give an abbreviated version.
If Alan Parsons Project isn't on your list, I'd like you to add them to it. I don't know if everyone would consider them Prog, but they do have many songs that are. At the very least, they would be entertaining. Maybe start out with "I Robot" or the combo of "Dream Within a Dream"/"The Raven."
I would love to add some Alan Parsons Project! They are a band that I'm not super familiar with, but have always wanted to check out. Any suggestions for songs that would be good for a reaction?
@@NathanOnShuffle "I Robot" "Dream Within a Dream"/"The Raven" (played consecutively, please, as one is a prelude to the other) Those are two to start off with.
With Halloween coming up, any track from Tales of Mystery and Imagination would be excellent, as the songs are all based on stories from Edgar Allan Poe. Plus, it's the Alan Parsons Project debut album; I'm always in favor of discovering a group chronologically. I'm partial to their version of Dream Within a Dream/The Raven, but any track is probably a good start.
Hey Nathan. Just a suggestion. Noticed the amount of comments you receive per video. I think you should reply to each one. People take the time to comment, it's only fair that you reply to each one. People are interested in what you have to say about what they comment. It's up to you but I think it would make for better content and comments is what starts great conversations about the subject at hand.😎
Thanks for the suggestion! I thought I was fairly good at responding to lots of comments, but this is a good reminder that I can always do better. I'm just glad people care about what I have to say! Sometimes I get a little anxious about my interactions with people and how they might respond to me, but so far everyone has been great and I want to make sure everybody knows how much I appreciate their feedback and comments!
@@NathanOnShuffle Thanks for responding Nathan. You have a unique channel with many topics. Communication with your subs will only help, like you are doing now. Keep it up!😎
Hey Nathan and Jana! I see you put The Quest up on the wall. The only good thing about the album is the artwork by Roger Dean. He really outdid himself. Pink Floyd! SOYCD is a great classic from Wish You Were Here. Nathan was hoping you would have shown Jana the video, the opening of Pulse would have been perfect. Oh well. Enjoy Jana, it's a good one!💎💎💎
I always debate if I should do more reactions to live performances. I usually prefer studio versions, especially for a first listen, but I know from several comments that there are certain bands many prefer live versions. It is a bit challenging to know the best version to use when we shuffle into a song and do the reaction on the spot, but I try to stay aware of when people suggest a live version. I know when we did Comfortably Numb I got tons of comments suggested we should react to the live version from the Pulse DVD. Also, glad you like the Roger Dean artwork for The Quest, even though your thoughts on the album are pretty clear 😂
@@NathanOnShuffle I guess it boils down to personal taste, live vs studio. Know your audience and think which they would prefer. Most live versions are better because they usually have video to watch. YES videos are awesome because they show off the musicianship of the band. Lastly, I see that The Quest album cover came down for your next video. Lol!😎
@@jeffschielka7845 Yes, that makes sense. I’ll have to consider that for the future. We filmed things a bit out of order, so that’s why The Quest went away- but don’t worry, it’ll be back 😉

You needed to turn off the light and lay back with your eyes closed. This is how The Floyd should be listened to. As the artist intended.
You really should add King Crimson, “21st Century Schizoid Man” to your list. If it’s not on there already.

👍😎 Alan Parsons was the engineer on Dark Side of the Moon, also worked with The Beatles at Abby Road studios. He’s got quite an impressive resume.
With Halloween coming up, any track from Tales of Mystery and Imagination would be excellent, as the songs are all based on stories from Edgar Allan Poe. Plus, it's the Alan Parsons Project debut album; I'm always in favor of discovering a group chronologically.
I'm partial to their version of Dream Within a Dream/The Raven, but any track is probably a good start.
You should've played the last 4 parts.... just kidding. :)
Hey Nathan. Just a suggestion. Noticed the amount of comments you receive per video. I think you should reply to each one. People take the time to comment, it's only fair that you reply to each one. People are interested in what you have to say about what they comment. It's up to you but I think it would make for better content and comments is what starts great conversations about the subject at hand.😎
Thanks for the suggestion! I thought I was fairly good at responding to lots of comments, but this is a good reminder that I can always do better. I'm just glad people care about what I have to say! Sometimes I get a little anxious about my interactions with people and how they might respond to me, but so far everyone has been great and I want to make sure everybody knows how much I appreciate their feedback and comments!
@@NathanOnShuffle Thanks for responding Nathan. You have a unique channel with many topics. Communication with your subs will only help, like you are doing now. Keep it up!😎
I see you have George Harrison's first solo album after the break up of the Beatles. This was also the first triple album ever released....
Yes, I have been enjoying the George Harrison album! I didn't know it was the first triple album, very interesting!
.......and now you have lived........
Fuck you two are so cute
Hey Nathan and Jana! I see you put The Quest up on the wall. The only good thing about the album is the artwork by Roger Dean. He really outdid himself. Pink Floyd! SOYCD is a great classic from Wish You Were Here. Nathan was hoping you would have shown Jana the video, the opening of Pulse would have been perfect. Oh well. Enjoy Jana, it's a good one!💎💎💎
I always debate if I should do more reactions to live performances. I usually prefer studio versions, especially for a first listen, but I know from several comments that there are certain bands many prefer live versions. It is a bit challenging to know the best version to use when we shuffle into a song and do the reaction on the spot, but I try to stay aware of when people suggest a live version. I know when we did Comfortably Numb I got tons of comments suggested we should react to the live version from the Pulse DVD.
Also, glad you like the Roger Dean artwork for The Quest, even though your thoughts on the album are pretty clear 😂
@@NathanOnShuffle I guess it boils down to personal taste, live vs studio. Know your audience and think which they would prefer. Most live versions are better because they usually have video to watch. YES videos are awesome because they show off the musicianship of the band. Lastly, I see that The Quest album cover came down for your next video. Lol!😎
@@jeffschielka7845 Yes, that makes sense. I’ll have to consider that for the future.
We filmed things a bit out of order, so that’s why The Quest went away- but don’t worry, it’ll be back 😉
@@NathanOnShuffle Leave Fragile, TFTO, and Relayer up. Lol!😎
@@jeffschielka7845 Ha! Those will all be up on the wall "soon" when I do my Yes album rankings! 😎
To me, talking instead of reverently listening to Pink Floyd music is like blasphemy.
Do same song on live pulse and sorrow love pulse .. you will not be disappointed!!!
