Lyrically, this is one of their deepest and best songs. You need to have the lyrics in front of you when you listen to Pink Floyd, quite often they are very deep and personal about life but very relatable to everyone. It makes you appreciate their brilliance and uniqueness even further.
This song transitions directly into "The Great Gig in the Sky" which is the deepest dive into the emotions surrounding Death you will ever hear. Brace yourself, guest vocals by Clare Torry ❤
try listening to the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album, beginning to end, through headphones, while lying back in the dark, and lose yourself in the music
I will be 70 this year. Make the best of your life now. At your age, like mine back then don't waste it. This song is part of a story. Listen to the whole story and take it to heart. If you do you will be better than me. Because I didn't listen back then !
Thanks for your reaction. My favorite line : you are young & life is long, there is time to kill today, and then one day you find 10 years have got behind you...listen to it in 5-10-15 years and you'll understand the meaning of time passing in a different way every time. I listened to it first when I was 12, and it had a different meaning at 22, 32, 42 and 52 y.old (today). Timeless masterpiece. Have a nice day & I'll check what other reactions you have.
This song resonated with me as a young boy. Now at just shy of 57 and an awful diagnosis it resonates far more especially the line, "Shorter of breath, one day closer to death."
@@LibertyBelleReacts An amazing thing happened yesterday: Previous scans showed a 25MM nodule, non calcified and spikes on it. A virtual guarantee of lung cancer. A final scan before surgery with no treatment shows that the nodule somehow shrunk to 7MM and the spikes are gone. A miracle? No surgery now. Follow up CT on 5/5. May be cured.
That statement was referring to my listening experience, not the song lyrics. I was explaining that I enjoyed all the different musical elements of the song.
Pink Floyd ... is not just music, it's therapy and a new kind of spiritual awareness. The phenomenal guitar sounds and lyrics of David Gilmour and the compositions and lyrics of Roger Waters ... the mysterious, masterful organ sounds of Rick Wright (RIP) and the expert drumming skills of Nick Mason ... are from another dimension ... Honest reaction from you ... also great performances are "The great gig in the sky" or "High Hopes" from the Pulse Concert ...
One of the greatest songs of all Time, from one of the greatest albums of all Time, by one of the greatest bands of all Time, that had one of the greatest guitarists of all Time, that will be remembered for all Time.
This song still holds true after 50 years 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Maybe try a song from their Wish You Were Here albulm. It's called Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Try the version from David Gilmour's Live in Pompeii concert 2016. Absolutely beautiful. David Gilmour is the guitarist/vocalist from Pink Floyd. It's a tribute to Syd Barratt who was a founding member of Pink Floyd. He had to leave due to mental health problems
Riddle (from The Hobbit): Q. This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down. A. TIME what horror!
1st time here (always happy to watch a reaction to Pink Floyd) and although I'm sure you must have heard it a zillion times - WOW! absolutely amazing, wonderful hair! Now that's out of the way - what do I like about this track? Just about everything - the long (trademark) intro, the lyrics (which haunt you more and more the older you get - 13 the first time - now 63) the guitar solo, the backing vocals - never get tired of hearing this. For future reference (and I know that it's time consuming) but it's worth knowing that this (and other albums by Floyd and other bands from this time period (early 70s)) were known as 'concept' albums with each track relating to another, so it's really worth listening to the whole album in one go. It's much more rewarding and you will notice certain reprises of the same tune (but different) as it progresses. 'Dark Side...' takes you through a life experience from birth to death. Hope to see you react to more Floyd.
I think part of the reason I and many others couldn't describe what it was about a lot of PF songs that moved us is that the whole thing is a combined experience. It's not so much that you can identify something in particular, although some can, but it's more the thing as a whole works so well together. Glad you stuck it out past the dramatic (and beautiful) opening section! You're probably getting a lot of suggestions, but I'll throw in "The Great Gig in the Sky" from this same album (not the live version yet): it is one of the most unique and beautiful vocal performances in music!
Liberty Belle I have been listening to Pink Floyd since 1973. I was 9 years old when this album, Dark Side of the Moon in which this classic is one of the songs on this album. When I was 9 years old, I didn't think of the meaning of this classic, but I just turn 60 yesterday. Now, it does have meaning. Meaning is to enjoy life because we are living on borrowed time.
To soothe your memories of nightmares that you felt at the beginning of this song, I will suggest a soothing track: Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited) It's a concert that you have to see at least once in your life, even if it's via RUclips, it's still very impressive to watch.
Funny that you mention work. We play the entire album at work while we work on intense inspections. It settles the mind and everything just flows for us. It's awesome what music can do.
Pink Floyd has produced several songs that are rightly considered masterpieces. Though many people will point to Comfortably Numb as David Gilmore’s greatest guitar solo, I will always contend that Time is his Magnum Opus. I can’t thank you enough for not interrupting the solo. What you need to understand is that this is a concept album. It’s not just a collection of tracks. It’s a symphony in which every track is a movement that flows seamlessly from the one before to the next after. It’s really intended to be listened to from beginning to end, uninterrupted. If you do that you’ll discover a constant theme woven throughout and manifesting in similar, but different ways. I’ll give you a hint. Think heartbeat. And then listen to it again. I guarantee you your perception will change. Much love ❤️
Pink Floyd is supposed to get your brain reeling. Sit back and enjoy the ride! 🙂👍 BTW, I absolutely love your hair! I would have a hard time keeping my hands out of it! ❤
For me, at 56, it's a warning: Life is short, the time to move is now. The alarm clocks going off at the beginning are like part of the message: "Wake up. It's time to move"!
Great reaction. The Dark Side of the Moon album was released a few weeks before I was born in 1973 but the themes covered are just as relevant today. I first heatd the DSOTM aged 8 or 9 in the early 80s and is my favourite rock album of all time. I also found the intro to Time rather scary as a kid and gave me visions of two cowboys in thd wild west about to have. gun fight.
Pink Floyd have more in common with the great classical composers than rock bands. Masters of building up suspense and tension until the inevitable explosion
Reaction OK, for I wish you paid more attention to the lyrics. The intro was an indication that time is flying by mixed with heartbeats which sums up the content of the lyrics:"And then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you...", then in the 2nd verse:"Shorter of breath and one day closer to death". This song will impact anyone when they grow old, like it does to me today. I was 22 when this came out. I've always been a HUGE Pink Floyd fan.
If you listen to the lyrics, it’s a very smart song about not wasting time. The heartbeat thru out the “scary part” is awesome, as is the rototom (drum intro)
This song represents the journey through life. It starts with a heartbeat, then a long slow intro, which stands for the childhood years, when it feels you have all the time in the world. But then suddenly you realize '10 years have got behind you, noone told you when to run, you missed the starting gun'. Then the guitar kicks in, the solo represents the frantic years of adulthood, where you never find the time, 'every year is getting shorter'.. The last part (Home), these are the later years in life, so the pace is slower. And this rollercoaster ends with death (a funeral, 'the tolling of the iron bells')
It's aabout time ticking away, toward death. We don't listen for the tic-toc of our lives' second, but they are ticknig away. The openof the song reveals to us the passing of our ltime. What are you doing with your life. Do you "fitter and waste away" your moments? Did you miss the starting gun of your life's mission? GREAT song. Thanks for the reaction. David Gilmore guitar solos are the best. qI bought this album at age 13 :)
This album was on the top 100 album chart for over 13 years. A year later it went back on the top 100 album list. This album, "Dark Side of the Moon" is a monster music memory for people born in the late 1950s and thru the 1960s. This album even had the first Quad-sound recording for people with four speaker sound. When I hear this album I am transported to the time that it first came out. I was in my teens. Also, don't smoke weed when doing these reaction videos. You forget that we are your audience.
Dont ever worry about stopping the music when you want to. We have heard the songs hundreds of times and We are here to see your reaction. And how are you to know when a solo is coming.. Dont ever worry about pausing and people need to stop complaining when you do. Again we are here to see what YOU think at the moment. Loved your reaction and I cant wait till you do Great gig in the sky the album version. As for the meaning to me on this song. The older you get the more it makes sense. When you see how fast 10 years get behind you and as you get older the days are getting shorter and yes you are one day closer to death every day you wake up.
This song only really makes sense when followed immediately by "The Great Gig in The Sky". In fact, the whole album should be listened to in one sitting, when you will notice that the songs all run into one another rather than cutting off suddenly if heard as separate tracks.
This is a great song (one of the greatest) but for someone listening to it for the first time it is difficult to experience all of it. You heard the music - it's hard not to, it is so powerful. You need to listen again, and do your best to focus on the lyrics. And after hearing them, listen to the song one more time, music and lyrics hitting you equally, and you will know why others are so moved by this song. I've been listening to it for fifty years, and in each decade the message to me has been different. Ten years more, and it will mean something else to me, as that will likely be the last decade that I hear it.
My 1st ex-wife was a bit younger than me, so I introduced her to Pink Floyd. The first hearing this she freaked a bit because she had a "thing" for loud bells. Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album and used many new elements including the sound effects. It may take a couple of times listening to it to take it all in especially paying attention to the lyrics. As you get older the lyrics will mean more to you with every passing year. For more of the sound effects, listen to "Money" and "Wish You Were Here" from the album of the same name.
Enjoying your reactions, I'm definitely feeling where you're at with this group..The Pulse Concert in 1994 was epic, any song from it is performed to perfection, no lie. I suggest "Keep Talking"
As someone else has said, lyrics are critical while taking in Pink Floyd. Over 4 decades ago, I used this song to fine tune the listening experience of my first expensive stereo. I've lived the "Time" of which Pink Floyd speaks here. You, ma'am, are missing it...⌛😯 slow down. pay attention. it. goes. fast...🌌
I've very rarely ever listened to a single track from this album - you just need to sit down and listen to the whole thing in one go - that way you 'get' the whole idea a lot better - don't think of them as separate songs, more as segments of a complete work. Younger fans have always had it better - the whole thing being on CD you don't have to get up to turn it over half-way through like us original vinyl owners had to! Pink Floyd had made a lot of very good music before this album, and they made a lot of very good music afterwards, but for me, they never did anything better than this.
A masterpiece. The entire album, Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece. The ending of this song is actually a different song called Breathe (reprise).
Glad you stayed. Lol. The beginning represents, " time," passing. Not interrupting the solo gave you a different experience and youre own journey now intermingled with thousands of others in " time."
Im not sure if you were listening to the lyrics, its the most important element of listening to Floyd. The song is about life and death. Listen to Great Gig in The Sky. The vocalist Claire Tory paints the whole scene of birth, life, and death. A lot of Darkside deals with the bands founder Syd Barret finally losing his mind after to much LSD. Many other Floyd albums have references to their old pal Syd. Wish You Were Here, hell the whole Wall album is about a rock star losing his mind, with Roger Waters putting some of his childhood into the album creating a classic. But yes, you need to listen to and react to the lyrics and you will have a much better understanding. Always nice hearing a Floyd virgin get there world rocked.
The intro is meant to set the mood for this song…. Time. Maybe take a listen again, but with the lyrics pulled up. The message can scare you more than the intro, but it’s also very beautiful. I gathered that maybe the lyrics escaped you because you seemed to enjoy the music, but most people are deeply moved and almost shaken to the core b
sort of is alice in wonderland to be honest its supposed to be a bit of a journey, if this is your real personality its pretty great i love your weirdness
Dark Side of the Moon is best listened to as a complete album in order. It’s best wearing ear phones on your bed in total darkness . . . It will take you on trip and unlike dr*gs there are no bad trips.
Funny you say "Alice in Wonderland." This album syncs up perfectly with The Wizard of Oz, and the bells and clocks happen during the tornado :) .... (You can check out "Dark Side of The Rainbow... coincidence, probably, but it's amazing)
I hope you're wearing headphones. You know PF has to be listened with headphones. Get yourself a good pair of headphones. Unless you've already are wearing them and we can't see them through the hair. Great reaction! Great hair! Stop over thinking and enjoy the music.
Make no mistake Pink Floyd is not dancing music it is meant to be spiritual music to turn up the volume lay back and lose yourself into your own existence and the reason why everyone gave you a hard time about pausing during the solos is because it breaks the emotional Bond and spiritual connection of the performance there is only one way and one way only to get the full affect and that is to put the headphones on turn the volume up turn the lights off and proceed with caution
There are so many PF songs to choose from (over 200 according to Wikipedia - from 15 studio albums, 3 soundtrack albums and 3 live albums) and more than half of them are worth listening to. The Pulse is a live show running over 3 and a half hours and there isn't a bad song in that show, so anything from that is worth watching (the light show is possibly the best ever staged as well). I'd suggest the Pulse versions of Comfortably Numb (the guitar solo on that is about 5 minutes), but also "Money", "Sorrow", "Run Like Hell", "The Great Gig In The Sky" (some will say the album version is best, but for me the Pulse version takes it to a new level), "One Of These Days", and "High Hopes" as starters. Away from the Pulse concert, you could check out "Wish You Were Here", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and "Echoes" (either the album version of the Live From Pompeii one). Probably best not to try "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" though - that's a bit of an acquired taste.
Creepy - my butt ! This was released just over 50 years ago (1973). It was and remains more ... WTF ! HC ! OH YEAH ... ! Some of Pink Floyd's intros are longer than many modern tracks today, and better. However as so many do you missed the following track, 'The Great Gig in the Sky'. The two are best listened to together. Beware, Gig may bring a tear to your eye from the raw emotional power.
A masterpiece by any measure. Nothing in the past few decades comes close.
Lyrically, this is one of their deepest and best songs. You need to have the lyrics in front of you when you listen to Pink Floyd, quite often they are very deep and personal about life but very relatable to everyone. It makes you appreciate their brilliance and uniqueness even further.
High Hopes is right up there with it.
This song transitions directly into "The Great Gig in the Sky" which is the deepest dive into the emotions surrounding Death you will ever hear.

Yes, Pink Floyd is meant to be listened to, not background music.
Or the experience of listening to the album while watching "The Wizard of Oz" with the movie sound off...
don't forget to take a hit or two from a bong (doobie)...that is the pink floyd experience
i did that under the stars of the Namibian desert, it was a majical experience added to by the booming of far-off male lions
I will be 70 this year. Make the best of your life now. At your age, like mine back then don't waste it. This song is part of a story. Listen to the whole story and take it to heart. If you do you will be better than me. Because I didn't listen back then !
You were probably grumpy back then as well.
This song came out when I was a senior in high school. The lyrics didn’t mean as much back then as they do today.
Thanks for your reaction. My favorite line : you are young & life is long, there is time to kill today, and then one day you find 10 years have got behind you...listen to it in 5-10-15 years and you'll understand the meaning of time passing in a different way every time.

I have sat in the woods or on a beach with a buzz and listen to the entire album. I'm 63 I've done this many times Pink Floyd's my fave
This song resonated with me as a young boy. Now at just shy of 57 and an awful diagnosis it resonates far more especially the line, "Shorter of breath, one day closer to death."
I hope you are able to find a successful treatment.

Great to see you react to all these Pink Floyd songs for the first . You in for a great journey 😊.
"that was a roller coaster ride but the good kind, not the kind where somebody dies on it".
The end of the song is literally about dying.
Indeed. Although technically, it is another song 😂 'Breathe (reprise)'
That statement was referring to my listening experience, not the song lyrics. I was explaining that I enjoyed all the different musical elements of the song.
It's not creepy. It's intense.
If you truly listen this song can change your life
Pink Floyd ... is not just music, it's therapy and a new kind of spiritual awareness.
The phenomenal guitar sounds and lyrics of David Gilmour and the compositions and lyrics of Roger Waters ... the mysterious, masterful organ sounds of Rick Wright (RIP) and the expert drumming skills of Nick Mason ... are from another dimension ...
Honest reaction from you ... also great performances are "The great gig in the sky" or "High Hopes" from the Pulse Concert ...
Nothing more "Horror Show" than the march of time.
The subject of this song is far more terrifying than any horror film.
The extened start gives a feeling of the passage of time....feel it.
One of the greatest songs of all Time, from one of the greatest albums of all Time, by one of the greatest bands of all Time, that had one of the greatest guitarists of all Time, that will be remembered for all Time.
This song is a life story and what comes after that . . .
Love pink Floyd great reaction
This song still holds true after 50 years 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Maybe try a song from their Wish You Were Here albulm. It's called Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Try the version from David Gilmour's Live in Pompeii concert 2016. Absolutely beautiful. David Gilmour is the guitarist/vocalist from Pink Floyd. It's a tribute to Syd Barratt who was a founding member of Pink Floyd. He had to leave due to mental health problems
If you ask me, this doesn't get scary until the lyrics start.
Riddle (from The Hobbit): Q. This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down. A. TIME what horror!
Remember those pencil toppers that had crazy hair? 😊
1st time here (always happy to watch a reaction to Pink Floyd) and although I'm sure you must have heard it a zillion times - WOW! absolutely amazing, wonderful hair! Now that's out of the way - what do I like about this track?

I have been listening to Pink Floyd since 1973. I was 9 years old when this album, Dark Side of the Moon in which this classic is one of the songs on this album. When I was 9 years old, I didn't think of the meaning of this classic, but I just turn 60 yesterday. Now, it does have meaning. Meaning is to enjoy life because we are living on borrowed time.
"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day" are permanently etched into my body ❤ i have a Floyd wall with a Led Zeppelin busting through!
They where great from the beginning!
If you think that THIS is deep . . . wait til you experience "The Great Gig in the Sky" . . . . .
Another great must listen to song.
Or "echoes " for that matter
The thing that is amazing about this album is it was on the charts for over 17 years.
If you sit and read the lyrics alone it will spawn deep emotion especially as you get older
To soothe your memories of nightmares that you felt at the beginning of this song, I will suggest a soothing track:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited)
It's a concert that you have to see at least once in your life, even if it's via RUclips, it's still very impressive to watch.
Fun fact... ...Pink Floyd was in the room when a lot of kids were conceived
My favorite band for many years. Miss Belle please be careful if you get close to a stove afraid your hair will ignite! 😁
It’s a lot to absorb at first , someday maybe years from now you will really “hear “ that song
In reality time is creepy, because the unknown is scary. Every second after the current moment is full of possibilities, therefore much anxiety.
Funny that you mention work. We play the entire album at work while we work on intense inspections. It settles the mind and everything just flows for us. It's awesome what music can do.

I guarantee you your perception will change. Much love ❤️
A very cool Pink Floyd experiment to do is listen to this song every ten years. The meaning of the song will change every time.
Even every five years, it may well change.
Pink Floyd is supposed to get your brain reeling. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
🙂👍
BTW, I absolutely love your hair! I would have a hard time keeping my hands out of it! ❤
For me, at 56, it's a warning: Life is short, the time to move is now. The alarm clocks going off at the beginning are like part of the message: "Wake up. It's time to move"!
Apparently, hasn't heard a word of the lyrics, freaked out by bass notes. A long way to go.
Such beautifully profound and heartfelt lyrics don’t even rate a mention…
I am glad to hear you have it in the correct key. Starts in E note then E minor. Several YT channels have it sped up out of key and time
The next track on the album is beyond mind blowing Clare Torry’s studio performance will probably never equalled . . .
If you rewind a little, after pausing, you won't miss anything. :)
The beginning of the song always reminded me of a Clint Eastwood type spaghetti western movie.
Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here and Animals. Lost count how many times I've listened to those albums. 🥰
OMG....Nothing better than a beautiful woman rockin to Pink Floyd!!
Um espetáculo de fato. Incrível
I remember this whole album blaring out from my brothers bedroom when it was 1st released.....I was 6....it has been part of my entire life
Time...ive been listening to this for 40 years since 1984. The same amount of time before I heard it the 1st time and we were still in WW2...
Time...
Purchased this album when it first came out because I liked the cover art, then listened to it, Pink Floyd fan ever since
you don't have to be mind blown...it's just a song. Enjoy it.
In my opinion it is THE song
@@ArnoldLayne-he9qqtrue. Love it. Just tired of over reactions. Maybe it's me. I've never had my mind blown by a song.
@@billyhill7630 agreed 🙂

Great humor too.

You like this song because it is arguably the best song ever written.
Definitely need to react to the entire album. It's a "joyful journey". ☺️
The same with "The Wall." It contextually comes together.
Time is insidious.

My 1st ex-wife was a bit younger than me, so I introduced her to Pink Floyd. The first hearing this she freaked a bit because she had a "thing" for loud bells. Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album and used many new elements including the sound effects. It may take a couple of times listening to it to take it all in especially paying attention to the lyrics. As you get older the lyrics will mean more to you with every passing year. For more of the sound effects, listen to "Money" and "Wish You Were Here" from the album of the same name.
Silence until understanding is usually a good thing.
Enjoying your reactions, I'm definitely feeling where you're at with this group..The Pulse Concert in 1994 was epic, any song from it is performed to perfection, no lie. I suggest "Keep Talking"
At all your kinda humor is very, very great, Sweet Ma'm Interupteress!
Usually, if you're dancing along to the music, then you're not listening to the lyrics.
As many others have said, it's the lyrics of the song (and that guitar solo). Pink Floyd song suggestion: Poles Apart from the Division Bell album.
Love your hair
I absolutely guarantee that you will have a much better listening experience to Pink Floyd if you are wearing "over the ear" headphones.
great reaction. btw, your hair is beautiful
As someone else has said, lyrics are critical while taking in Pink Floyd.
Over 4 decades ago, I used this song to fine tune the listening experience of my first expensive stereo. I've lived the "Time" of which Pink Floyd speaks here.
You, ma'am, are missing it...⌛😯 slow down. pay attention. it. goes. fast...🌌
Listen again with lyrics. Also, you need to do the album in full.
I've very rarely ever listened to a single track from this album - you just need to sit down and listen to the whole thing in one go - that way you 'get' the whole idea a lot better - don't think of them as separate songs, more as segments of a complete work. Younger fans have always had it better - the whole thing being on CD you don't have to get up to turn it over half-way through like us original vinyl owners had to!
Pink Floyd had made a lot of very good music before this album, and they made a lot of very good music afterwards, but for me, they never did anything better than this.
A masterpiece. The entire album, Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece. The ending of this song is actually a different song called Breathe (reprise).
Every one should listen to Ummagumma to see where Floyd really got into the big time 😂😂😂
Mother by Pink Floyd on The Wall album
Glad you stayed. Lol. The beginning represents, " time," passing. Not interrupting the solo gave you a different experience and youre own journey now intermingled with thousands of others in " time."
Im not sure if you were listening to the lyrics, its the most important element of listening to Floyd. The song is about life and death. Listen to Great Gig in The Sky. The vocalist Claire Tory paints the whole scene of birth, life, and death. A lot of Darkside deals with the bands founder Syd Barret finally losing his mind after to much LSD. Many other Floyd albums have references to their old pal Syd. Wish You Were Here, hell the whole Wall album is about a rock star losing his mind, with Roger Waters putting some of his childhood into the album creating a classic. But yes, you need to listen to and react to the lyrics and you will have a much better understanding. Always nice hearing a Floyd virgin get there world rocked.
The intro is meant to set the mood for this song…. Time. Maybe take a listen again, but with the lyrics pulled up. The message can scare you more than the intro, but it’s also very beautiful. I gathered that maybe the lyrics escaped you because you seemed to enjoy the music, but most people are deeply moved and almost shaken to the core b
she needs to stay out of those NASA wind tunnels
sort of is alice in wonderland to be honest its supposed to be a bit of a journey, if this is your real personality its pretty great i love your weirdness
Dark Side of the Moon is best listened to as a complete album in order. It’s best wearing ear phones on your bed in total darkness . . . It will take you on trip and unlike dr*gs there are no bad trips.
Thank you for not pausing the guitar solo 🙂
Luv ya Liberty ))
Funny you say "Alice in Wonderland." This album syncs up perfectly with The Wizard of Oz, and the bells and clocks happen during the tornado :) .... (You can check out "Dark Side of The Rainbow... coincidence, probably, but it's amazing)
A lot of us missed the starting gun.
Doesn't like everyone miss the starting gun? When you're young you take everything for granted.
I hope you're wearing headphones. You know PF has to be listened with headphones. Get yourself a good pair of headphones. Unless you've already are wearing them and we can't see them through the hair. Great reaction! Great hair! Stop over thinking and enjoy the music.
You can see the cord hanging down, but you can't see them in my hair. LOL
Sorry, I noticed that after I posted. Can't wait to see more reactions!@@LibertyBelleReacts
@@philcannistraci9560 Thanks for watching!
Make no mistake Pink Floyd is not dancing music it is meant to be spiritual music to turn up the volume lay back and lose yourself into your own existence and the reason why everyone gave you a hard time about pausing during the solos is because it breaks the emotional Bond and spiritual connection of the performance there is only one way and one way only to get the full affect and that is to put the headphones on turn the volume up turn the lights off and proceed with caution
Listen to "The Great Gig In The Sky" from Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, album.
There are so many PF songs to choose from (over 200 according to Wikipedia - from 15 studio albums, 3 soundtrack albums and 3 live albums) and more than half of them are worth listening to. The Pulse is a live show running over 3 and a half hours and there isn't a bad song in that show, so anything from that is worth watching (the light show is possibly the best ever staged as well). I'd suggest the Pulse versions of Comfortably Numb (the guitar solo on that is about 5 minutes), but also "Money", "Sorrow", "Run Like Hell", "The Great Gig In The Sky" (some will say the album version is best, but for me the Pulse version takes it to a new level), "One Of These Days", and "High Hopes" as starters. Away from the Pulse concert, you could check out "Wish You Were Here", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and "Echoes" (either the album version of the Live From Pompeii one). Probably best not to try "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" though - that's a bit of an acquired taste.
Creepy - my butt ! This was released just over 50 years ago (1973). It was and remains more ... WTF ! HC ! OH YEAH ... ! Some of Pink Floyd's intros are longer than many modern tracks today, and better.
However as so many do you missed the following track, 'The Great Gig in the Sky'. The two are best listened to together. Beware, Gig may bring a tear to your eye from the raw emotional power.
