The song is hard to understand outside the context of the album. There are three different voices in the song. The first part of the song is the voice of an outsider trying to reach a guy that built a wall around himself. The second part (starting with "but it was only a fantasy") is a narrator informing us that there is, in fact, no one trying to reach out for the lonely guy behind his wall, he is fantasizing that someone out there cares for him. The last voice is the guy's own voice. He is shouting, trying to make himself heard across the wall, and addressing the indifferent bystanders all around him. Telling them that they should care, because without one another we are doomed.
Talk that shit. No one knows about the significance of The Wall's lyrics or deeper meanings, thats why its such a masterpiece. Im glad you know youre shit
I guess youd be surprised at the amount of ppl that watched the movie and still dont understand the bigger picture cuz of a lack of having open minds.. i see you got offended when i said no one understood it. Stuck a nerve much?
i remember a patronising fool of a boyfriend asking which band i thought would still be aroundin in 10 years n when i said PF would go on forever he was genuinely shocked. one dead relationship. thank god.
At 13 years old, I heard this song on the radio and my jaw dropped and stayed dropped through the entire length of the song. I had no idea who I was listening to, but I knew they were now my favorite band. I discovered a priceless creation that has stayed with me for 40 years.
PessottiHimself I'm in complete agreement, although if he's gonna listen to a single from this album, "Time" is a good choice, though I'd recommend "Speak To Me/Breathe" or "Money" for breaking his DSOTM cherry. Certainly better than listening to, say, "Great Gig In The Sky" as a first listen. If he were to listen to the whole album, first to last, without interruption, my biggest worry is that he'd get lost in the music, and we'd never see him again.
This song freaks me out every time I hear it, so intense, so emotional, so soul wrenching, yet strangely beautiful in its composition, gives you goosebumps just listening to it, you just got to feel it!
Pink Floyd described feelings we've all felt before and put inside us. They put them into sounds and lyriks. And feelings are without time. That's the Magic...💫
Im only a month late but I recommend king crimson if you want a band equally ahead of their time and of a similar but still unique style. Imagine if pink floyd dropped into improv more than they already do by 3x or so. King crimson actually writes in large improv sections so every performance is different. Love floyd and king crimson.
99% of the live stuff is a broken band. They are so rarely all together on stage any more. My opinion is they sound better together, instead of some no name filling the role of either David Gilmour or Roger Waters depending on who's "Pink Floyd" you are seeing. When you do the album cut you get all the og members, minus Uncle Sid of course. Also, i love the reaction, but this audio quality is unacceptable.
I'm not so sure he should do this. If he does, he might get lost in the music, and we'll never see him again. . .except over on the Dark Side of the Moon.
@@Reflow1000 as big of a Floyd fan as I am, I still think the movie was fucking weird. I enjoyed. But, to people who aren't huge fans, I don't know that I'd recommend it.
@@goldnugget49 my job I have a lot of down time so I get really bored sometimes so really sometimes he's kind of saving my day and usually I can find a good discussion after a video
This is the first track on Side 3 of the double album. The previous song is called "Goodbye Cruel World" and, in concert, is where the last brick is put into The Wall, and shuts Pink off from the audience, to be alone with his isolation and increasing insanity. "Hey You" is performed behind The Wall, the audience can't see the band, and I've always thought that this was the sound of Pink's breaking heart. Roger Waters did a 30th anniversary tour where he performed The Wall in its entirety, the way the band did it in 1980, but with updated technology. The tour lasted for 3 or 4 years, and went around the world a couple times, to sell-out shows. There's a video called "Roger Waters: The Wall" that you should try to find and watch, if you can. It's really great to see the album performed as it was meant to be.
I would hang with you & music any day!!!!!!!!!! 💗my dog is named Floyd! I'm 42 and have been listening to them since I was born. My dad would put speakers out on the porch and play THE WALL for the whole neighborhood! Good times.......... I love watching your reactions and hearing how it makes you feel 😎 MUSIC IS LIFE
This song is pushing 45 yrs old ( if not alder ). And still amazes people today. You're absolutely right when you said that Pink Floyd was ahead of their time.
I'm still amazed how professional these all sound for it's time more than 30 - 40 years ago. And yes if the song makes your hair stand up or you get the chills it's got what it takes to make it a great song. This song does exactly that from the lyrics to the scream and wail of Gilmour's guitar.
It is funny how haunting this song is. Even after hearing it literally thousands of times, it still holds the same weight. Try anything from the Animals album next. Dogs or Pigs are especially good. Also Shine on you Crazy Diamond (All parts). That's about 25 mins right there.
You can't go wrong with Floyd! Time Shine on you Crazy Diamond parts 1 & 2 The Great Gig in the Sky Brain Damage/Eclipse Dogs Echoes Pigs(3 Different Ones) Sheep Welcome to the Machine Have a Cigar Run Like Hell Mother Money Fearless One of these Days Marooned High Hopes Astronomy Domine Interstellar Overdrive See Emily Play
I love how enthusiastic you are. Its obvious you really enjoy these songs. Your reactions make these songs that I have heard thousands of times feel new again. Keep it up bro.
Honestly man, if you dig Floyd this much you REALLY should listen to the entire "The Wall" album. The way they structured the whole album it was intended to be listened to fully and they bridged one song into another so amazingly, just turn it on, sit back and enjoy the ride.
Honestly you can say that about all the albums from Dark Side to The Wall. Although there are natural breaks since these were originally on vinyl, then again, if you put all of the Wall in a Playlist, it still flows seamlessly even though this song is the start of disc 2 on cd.
Idk how old you are Preston,(which was my grandfather's name),but I can't believe you've never got into Pink Floyd.. I'm probably old enuf to be your mom or mb your Gmail,my grown children have "borrowed" my CDs so many times that I can't even begin to tell you.put the entire album on& put head fones on and lay down. Trippin,I'm telling ya
Preston, you’ve got 115k subs. If you ever do an album reaction to Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here, you are going to have about 80k “ I told you so’s” Don’t deny what you know you gotta do. Just do it Preston. It will open your mind.
Listen to the whole album. "The Wall" tells a story from beginning to end so this song, which is near the middle, will make a whole lot more sense. Every song on the album is as good as this one, it's a true masterpiece 👍
I’m telling you, Preston! If you liked Welcome to The Machine, you gotta listen to Pink Floyd - Dogs. It will be your new favorite. It’s got those synthesizers you liked from Welcome to The Machine, but it’s also got those Gilmore guitars that fill your heart.
I love dogs (that guitar solo, as my dad likes to say, "tingles my balls", even tho I don't have any lol 😂) but gotta be pigs (three different ones) for me, I know the whole album is political but pigs just speaks to me and calms me when I wanna kill may and our mp's 😂
Being a Pink Floyd fan for more than 45 years, I love your reactions to their music. More than being ahead of their time, they were beyond time. The music and lyrics are still fresh and very relevant. It does this old hippie chicks heart proud to see you enjoy the songs and more importantly, you get it!! ❤️🤗✌️🎨🖌
Walking throughout the rooms of a rented house I heard the radio and hey you was in the tune, I stopped to listen who they were and since that day 1987 I been hooked to every addicted piece of art that Pink Floyd has created! My soul was touched that day and the meaning of life had an encounter with time and I realized that Pink Floyd is timeless to beyond eternity!
Oooosh, you gotta be fully invested and committed to the band for that, otherwise you just won't "get it" and think "wtf is that", i've seen people listen to a few floyd tracks, go straight into that one and have a negative reaction and it pisses me off very much a lot because of how stunning it is 😂
I disagree. The Great Gig in the Sky was the first song of Pink Floyd, that I ever heard, and it bought me :D. That vocalise is priceless, I tell you! :D
ugh I definitely agree the song is better in context, and would rather a full Dark Side of the Moon listen. But he’s listened to enough Floyd at this point that I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be thrown and he seems to really appreciate their style. I think he’d dig it.
Pink floyd music is apsolutly the best. You just start to listen and you like it. After 30 years for me is still the best music that a man can listen. You know why?...because it never get boring, only beter. After few thousent listening of comfortably numb you still have the need to listen to the end of the song. Only with pink floyd
The best song ever recorded. From the cowbell to the run of the piano keys...just excellent choice in sound or tempo. The lyrics are also timeless. Society will always have a Mary Whitehouse dictating thier morals upon society
Every single person I introduced Pink Floyd to started loving their music even though they were, for instance, plain hiphop-heads or just tone deaf in general. That's how you can tell it's good fucking music. Pink Floyd are like a genre of their own.
Classic Pink Floyd, When The Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin would be another classic to check out. Jamie N Commons - The Preacher has one hell of a HOLD ON BRUUUUUUUH moment in it too, goosebumps every time!
King KTF , i really enjoy watching you react to Pink Floyd , being a 57 year old who has been listening to them since i was around twelve , Great videos man !!!!!!
I love your chanel. It's so weird hearing these songs that were on the radio when I was a teenager. you can't turn on a radio and hear this now. The songs are long and it takes time to take it all in. each song is an experience. Enjoy your reactions a lot. I am binge watching.
Pink Floyd exist outside of time and space. Their sound is so rich and complex. The lyrics touch your soul. They were ahead of their time. Im devastated not to have seen them live . Dave Gilmour is a legend and Roger Waters song writing skill... No words
I’m 54 & my dad loved Pink Floyd so I was raised on this music along with many other great artists & my love of music came from him. I’m from Detroit so I was very fortunate to hear all kinds of music like Al Green. My grandma lived close to Motown so we got to hear everything!!! Back in 85-86 I got concert tickets to see Pink Floyd & took my dad. That by far was my favorite memory of all time. Years later I was talking to my mom & asked her about that time (they divorced in 70) & she told me about seeing Floyd live 3x’s and how she freaked out when they crashed a plane & had pigs flying through the air she said it was great. Music has touched my soul & saved my life!
YAY! I have been waiting for this one!!!! GREAT REACTION BRO! Love this song! Love Pink Floyd! Love Your Channel! Time for Pink Floyd Binge! Suggesting you start with Album "Dark Side of The Moon". It is an experience and story and "The Wall" tells a story too. So happy you did this song!!! You can replay Floyd over and over. GREAT reaction!!!✌🏼💙💖💚🎶🎸👍🏻🥁🎹🎶
I play Pink Floyd over and over because they spoiled me. They are the cream of the crop in modern music _all genre's. They are timeless, ina a class of their own. They wouldn't blend in, they would stand out...but I know what you mean. ;)
Preston you are my boy.I was you 20 years ago, listening to nothing but hip-hop and slowly discovering real music. Me and my boy used to just ride in the car and discover new music, way before youtube. Keep up the great woek.
"Echoes." As a longtime Pink Floyd fan, I'm not sure that any other song of theirs delves into the deep, and it's a beautifully written masterpiece. It's a journey in and of itself.
You understand the depth of Floyd's music... and that puts you in a class far above most... Your reactions in the videos and the facial expressions say it all... Respect!
I have to say that Pink Floyd was (and still is) my go-to band when life kicks me too much. When I was younger I’d add a little weed to enhance the experience.
The very first concert I ever went to was April 1973 Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. 14 years old. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Tour. It changed my life!
Haven't WE all been lost in the cold at one time or another? Like many of their songs, this is a deep one. It has sympathy for the common man. Peace to all. King, thanks!
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon album is perfectly in sync with the movie The Wizard Of Oz. Start the album exactly at the end of the third MGM lion roar. Mute the move, turn the the volume up on the album. It’s amazing. Did it twice & it’s fascinating. Recommend lighting up a joint to make the experience better. The unofficial name for the experience is called Dark Side of the Rainbow
I thought you were supposed to press play on DSOTM when the movie goes from b&w to color? I don't remember how we did it but it worked and was really cool. Then we did more experiments with just random movies and albums and they almost all worked. The lengths the human mind will go to, to make patterns and sense of what we perceive, is phenomenally awesome!
Having been born in 1951 , I am just an old white guy who is mostly used up and pretty much running on empty . It lifts my soul to see a young black guy enjoying and immersing himself in music that I have loved for so many years. To me, there are two kinds of music , that which you listen to while doing your house work and that in which you are totally engaged while listening. Pink Floyd is the totally engaged type of music. My Pink Floyd listening kit consists of a comfortable chair , an ice cold Dr. Pepper , and a box of tissues. I can't stand tears in my soda , makes it too salty. "Hey , you" ! You will hopefully have a long life in which you will have much time to look into the past . Keep up the good work on your channel !
Bruv....I have watched almost all your reaction videos and every one of them puts a smile on my face...hold on braaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!.....your honest reactions to bands like Pink Floyd, who I grew up with, makes me very jealous that you get the pleasure of experiencing them for the first time with adult ears and can you can appreciate the musicianship more now than you could've as a youngster...bravo sir!!....on a side note...Pink Floyd Fearless...class!!

You're no genius stop it, don't embarras yourself.
SYD BARRETT
More than "ahead of their time", they're proving to be timeless- they'll still be as relevant thirty, forty years from now.
Definitely! The lyrics were about life
Exactly! Their songs bring out pure human emotions that everyone can relate to at some point in their lives and keep doing so as long as we exist.
Not for years for eternity!
i remember a patronising fool of a boyfriend asking which band i thought would still be aroundin in 10 years n when i said PF would go on forever he was genuinely shocked. one dead relationship. thank god.
Musik for humans soul
Together we stand, divided we fall.
☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭☭
Truest words of any song. They knew, they knew.
Truer words could not have been sung or spoken. And that is exactly true today.
At 13 years old, I heard this song on the radio and my jaw dropped and stayed dropped through the entire length of the song. I had no idea who I was listening to, but I knew they were now my favorite band. I discovered a priceless creation that has stayed with me for 40 years.
I'm 50 years old, I had the same...🤜🤛
40 fucking plus years ago and the recurring of the numbness and goosebumps still happens when i hear 'Hey You'.
26, same here.Goosebumps, unemotional face with couple tears on it.
Tears at Hey you!💯
React to "Time" by Pink floyd
Absolutely this.
Yes please react to time
Absolutely a must listen.
I hate to be that person but he should't listen to any of the tracks on The Dark Side of the Moon by themselves until he listens to the full album
PessottiHimself I'm in complete agreement, although if he's gonna listen to a single from this album, "Time" is a good choice, though I'd recommend "Speak To Me/Breathe" or "Money" for breaking his DSOTM cherry.

There is nobody like Pink Floyd..... NOBODY

Imagine if pink floyd dropped into improv more than they already do by 3x or so. King crimson actually writes in large improv sections so every performance is different. Love floyd and king crimson.
But which one of them is Pink?
Amen to that brother 🙏
fuck the Beatles..
bsc27 Squad fuck you
Pink Floyd has a sound and talent that will never grow old!
You could play Pink Floyd now and it wouldnt just blend in, Bro. It would STAND OUT!!!!!!
Blend? Hell to the naw. It didn't blend in then and it damn sure isn't blending in now.
*Don't help them to bury the LIGHT.
Not live. Wtf.
99% of the live stuff is a broken band. They are so rarely all together on stage any more. My opinion is they sound better together, instead of some no name filling the role of either David Gilmour or Roger Waters depending on who's "Pink Floyd" you are seeing. When you do the album cut you get all the og members, minus Uncle Sid of course.
Also, i love the reaction, but this audio quality is unacceptable.
Please do a full album reaction to Pink Floyd’s "The Darkside of the Moon”!
Epic song to smoke out to.....I'd you you that kinda thing.....
I'm not so sure he should do this. If he does, he might get lost in the music, and we'll never see him again. . .except over on the Dark Side of the Moon.
definitely, reacting to only one song from this would be weird
Definitely!!!
Nah do the wall
I've heard this song at least 200 times and it still just gave me chills when he first comes in with the vocals.
200,000 times
I hate lyric videos that tell what lyrics are coming up 30 seconds before they actually play lol
Yup lol
Gives me anxiety for some reason
Probably a Karaoke version, it makes sense for that.
It’s so you know what’s coming so you can learn/sing it.. isn’t that obvious?
It's for karaoke
Pink Floyd is a journey, bro. You need to listen to the Album The Wall in its entirety. With headphones, loud. Love your videos.
and even watch the movie
@@Reflow1000 as big of a Floyd fan as I am, I still think the movie was fucking weird. I enjoyed. But, to people who aren't huge fans, I don't know that I'd recommend it.
The drums are so good in this song, almost hypnotizing.
High hopes by pink floyd, dope!
And btw it's Welcome to the Machine
Hell yeah
Ah, The Division Bell...
YES!!
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Thanks for reacting to this gem. I loved how you genuinely enjoyed this song. Your channel is awesome!!
The truth of the crescendo: "Together we stand. Divided we fall!!"
Alas, we have never been this divided in as long as this Album has been around.
More Floyd here we go thank you Preston always putting a smile on my face making the work day so much better
412xtaint very true. As corny as it sounds, I always enjoy coming home after work and watching his new reaction videos
@@goldnugget49 my job I have a lot of down time so I get really bored sometimes so really sometimes he's kind of saving my day and usually I can find a good discussion after a video
"Welcome to the Machine". It was great seeing a young whippersnapper enjoying music from MY day....I'm 66...
This is the first track on Side 3 of the double album.

theengagedfew: Unfortunately, this track was not used in the 1982 film.
I saw Roger Waters live this year in his Us + Them tour. It was amazing. I wish I had the opportunity to see Pink Floyd as a band in the 80's
true, probably 1 of the best concerts that i went, next to that, Us + Them Tour
Us and them tour was amazing saw him in Detroit bucklist check
...and you will know us by the Trail of Dead I don't know that I'd call them emo. At most, proto-emo.
I would hang with you & music any day!!!!!!!!!! 💗my dog is named Floyd! I'm 42 and have been listening to them since I was born.

@Mike Forti I listened to DSOTM the very first time I ever tripped. It squeegied my brain.
Hahaha....that's a span of 2 albums.
Preston, you’ve got 115k subs. If you ever do an album reaction to Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here, you are going to have about 80k “ I told you so’s” Don’t deny what you know you gotta do. Just do it Preston. It will open your mind.
No doubt about it!!!!
Big facts!
They’re both each under 45 minutes so it’s perfect to just put head phones in, lean back and enjoy the experience
Yes more context too this song has alot more depth with context
I don't think he'd be able to handle the whole album, it's too good
I can listen to this song over and over again and for some reason i never get tired of it thats how powerful pink floyd is damn!!!
Pink Floyd is not just a band...
Pink Floyd is an Experience.
Listen to the whole album. "The Wall" tells a story from beginning to end so this song, which is near the middle, will make a whole lot more sense. Every song on the album is as good as this one, it's a true masterpiece 👍
Absolutely! Took the words out of my mouth.
100% agree
❤
Probably the best album ever made.
Its a concept album!
I’m telling you, Preston! If you liked Welcome to The Machine, you gotta listen to Pink Floyd - Dogs. It will be your new favorite. It’s got those synthesizers you liked from Welcome to The Machine, but it’s also got those Gilmore guitars that fill your heart.
Dogs is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.
@@savadorp9948 Same!!

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky
Oooosh, you gotta be fully invested and committed to the band for that, otherwise you just won't "get it" and think "wtf is that", i've seen people listen to a few floyd tracks, go straight into that one and have a negative reaction and it pisses me off very much a lot because of how stunning it is 😂

"PIGS" by Pink Floyd
U can thank me later 😁✌
The best song ever recorded. From the cowbell to the run of the piano keys...just excellent choice in sound or tempo.
The lyrics are also timeless. Society will always have a Mary Whitehouse dictating thier morals upon society
One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. It's between Hey You and Wish You Were Here
My top fave 3 Pink Floyd songs are
1: Comfortably Numb
2: Hey You
3: Wish You Were Here
🎸🎸🎸 I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd, Next song you need to listen to is Time🎸🎸🎸
Watching you discover PF warps me back in time, making me remember the 1st time I heard them. Gives me the chills.
Hypnotic music! When you come home from a crazy, stressful day at work? Pour yourself a glass and play this!
Every single person I introduced Pink Floyd to started loving their music even though they were, for instance, plain hiphop-heads or just tone deaf in general. That's how you can tell it's good fucking music. Pink Floyd are like a genre of their own.
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
Their music is ethereal. It's almost like having an out of body experience.
I first heard this song on the radio maybe about 8 years ago. And wow! I was blown away! Floyd is awesome!
Don't help them to bury the light, not live. Puzzles me how lyric vids get lyrics wrong. They were published.
Always thought it was bury the love .
I always thought it was "...bury the love" too.
Me too.
I'm a big Pink Floyd fan and I always thought the lyric was bury the light not live. But every time I See lyrics for it it says bury the live
Gotta be honest I thought it was “Don’t help them to bury the lie”
Classic Pink Floyd, When The Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin would be another classic to check out. Jamie N Commons - The Preacher has one hell of a HOLD ON BRUUUUUUUH moment in it too, goosebumps every time!
Pink Floyd ..TIME...and SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND..YOU WILL LOVE THESE TWO!!!
Love the way you listen to music! Love watching someone listening to Pink Floyd for the first time.
You must do "US AND THEM"!!
Thank you for this channel...

, i really enjoy watching you react to Pink Floyd , being a 57 year old who has been listening to them since i was around twelve , Great videos man !!!!!!
I love your chanel. It's so weird hearing these songs that were on the radio when I was a teenager. you can't turn on a radio and hear this now. The songs are long and it takes time to take it all in. each song is an experience. Enjoy your reactions a lot. I am binge watching.
Automatic thumbs up for doing Pink Floyd.
Preston you're almost ready to 'Shine on you crazy diamond". Try "Have a cigar", lots of keyboard and riffs.
Agree, Have a cigar!
Yes and yes!
Shine On....is the best song made by humans.
I guarantee you the main keyboard riff in Have a Cigar kicking in for the first time will earn an immediate "Hold on bruh!"
@@benjaminmarlatt6111 Oh you know it!
Pink Floyd exist outside of time and space. Their sound is so rich and complex. The lyrics touch your soul. They were ahead of their time. Im devastated not to have seen them live . Dave Gilmour is a legend and Roger Waters song writing skill... No words
Great reaction. This is one of my favorites by pink floyd. Also comfortably numb
React to “Have a Cigar” by Pink Floyd
My favorite Pink Floyd song, and The Wall is my favorite album.
Andi Randolph and one of my favorite movies.

Pink Floyd touches something INSIDE YOU. Once touched, you can’t forget. ❤️
I’m 54 & my dad loved Pink Floyd so I was raised on this music along with many other great artists & my love of music came from him. I’m from Detroit so I was very fortunate to hear all kinds of music like Al Green. My grandma lived close to Motown so we got to hear everything!!!
Back in 85-86 I got concert tickets to see Pink Floyd & took my dad. That by far was my favorite memory of all time. Years later I was talking to my mom & asked her about that time (they divorced in 70) & she told me about seeing Floyd live 3x’s and how she freaked out when they crashed a plane & had pigs flying through the air she said it was great. Music has touched my soul & saved my life!
YAY! I have been waiting for this one!!!! GREAT REACTION BRO! Love this song! Love Pink Floyd! Love Your Channel! Time for Pink Floyd Binge! Suggesting you start with Album "Dark Side of The Moon". It is an experience and story and "The Wall" tells a story too.
So happy you did this song!!! You can replay Floyd over and over. GREAT reaction!!!✌🏼💙💖💚🎶🎸👍🏻🥁🎹🎶
I play Pink Floyd over and over because they spoiled me. They are the cream of the crop in modern music _all genre's. They are timeless, ina a class of their own. They wouldn't blend in, they would stand out...but I know what you mean. ;)
@@zoniekat AGREE
I'm so happy watching you enjoying it, thank you
Preston you are my boy.I was you 20 years ago, listening to nothing but hip-hop and slowly discovering real music. Me and my boy used to just ride in the car and discover new music, way before youtube. Keep up the great woek.
"Echoes." As a longtime Pink Floyd fan, I'm not sure that any other song of theirs delves into the deep, and it's a beautifully written masterpiece. It's a journey in and of itself.
Pink Floyd “Not Now John”. Excellent!
"Don't know what it is, but it fits on here like zzzzzssssttt!". That's how I feel now trying to work new apps on my phone. 🤔
Shine on you crazy diamond
You understand the depth of Floyd's music... and that puts you in a class far above most... Your reactions in the videos and the facial expressions say it all... Respect!
I am enjoying watching you find "new" music. As you can see I love Pink Floyd. Keep on sharing the love young man.
I have to say that Pink Floyd was (and still is) my go-to band when life kicks me too much. When I was younger I’d add a little weed to enhance the experience.
Pink Floyd "Dogs". The ultimate Floyd experience is that song, and the entire Animals album.
The very first concert I ever went to was April 1973 Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. 14 years old. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Tour. It changed my life!
Haven't WE all been lost in the cold at one time or another? Like many of their songs, this is a deep one. It has sympathy for the common man. Peace to all. King, thanks!
Mother pink floyd
react to Pink Floyd - Time, Money, and Shine on you crazy diamond!
Made me so happy to watch someone listen to this song for the first time! Love your energy, man! Glad I found your channel.
I Love you Appreciating these Classics Bro .... Just Soul Touching Music ... Thank You
Listen to shine on you crazy diamond by Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon album is perfectly in sync with the movie The Wizard Of Oz. Start the album exactly at the end of the third MGM lion roar. Mute the move, turn the the volume up on the album. It’s amazing. Did it twice & it’s fascinating. Recommend lighting up a joint to make the experience better. The unofficial name for the experience is called Dark Side of the Rainbow
I thought you were supposed to press play on DSOTM when the movie goes from b&w to color? I don't remember how we did it but it worked and was really cool. Then we did more experiments with just random movies and albums and they almost all worked. The lengths the human mind will go to, to make patterns and sense of what we perceive, is phenomenally awesome!
It is still played today all the time on Classic rock stations everywhere. It’s definitely one of their bigger hits.
Man what makes your videos so good is your genuine roller coaster of emotions that Floyd invokes......awesome
Damn son where’d you find this?
Pink Floyd- Pigs Three Different Ones :) also watch their movie The Wall if you haven’t already
I think he should listen to the whole album before he watches the movie.
best Pink Floyd song ever!!!!
Yes!
Pigs three different ones is a fantastic song though it's best enjoyed IMO by having a working knowledge of Mary Whitehouse ;)
The wall album And movie is maybe ma favourite music of all time, even though I love hip hip hop, pink floyd is still the greatest band ever.
Having been born in 1951 , I am just an old white guy who is mostly used up and pretty much running on empty . It lifts my soul to see a young black guy enjoying and immersing himself in music that I have loved for so many years. To me, there are two kinds of music , that which you listen to while doing your house work and that in which you are totally engaged while listening. Pink Floyd is the totally engaged type of music. My Pink Floyd listening kit consists of a comfortable chair , an ice cold Dr. Pepper , and a box of tissues. I can't stand tears in my soda , makes it too salty. "Hey , you" ! You will hopefully have a long life in which you will have much time to look into the past . Keep up the good work on your channel !
i have Pink Floyd on a CD in my car and I replay the songs over and over and never get tired of them! Full treble and bass full volume.
Headphones don't vibrate your whole body like car speakers! (not giant woofers...lol)
Listened to this on acid 20 years ago! " holyfcukingshit!!" brilliant Band!
There's so many good suggestions in the comments section. Dig deeper into pink floyd man you're gonna love it.
And with a smoke.
Watching you react to Pink Floyd puts a smile on my face bro!
I've been hooked on Pink Floyd since 1979. I was 9 years old then when I heard The Wall the first time.
You gotta hear Pink Floyd's song Fearless. The guitar is awesome!
Hold onnnn bruuuuh!!!
You are genuine. I love that about you. I'll keep watching your reactions and bless your path along the way.
Bruv....I have watched almost all your reaction videos and every one of them puts a smile on my face...hold on braaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!.....your honest reactions to bands like Pink Floyd, who I grew up with, makes me very jealous that you get the pleasure of experiencing them for the first time with adult ears and can you can appreciate the musicianship more now than you could've as a youngster...bravo sir!!....on a side note...Pink Floyd Fearless...class!!
