@@paulamoya7956Wish You Were Here, still my favorite - going on 48yrs now. Thematically more cohesive and compelling a piece than DSOTM. Try to not listen to the entire album in one session.
Dark Side of the Moon is also a concept album. Very political. The movie The Wall is bazaar but puts meaning to their mindset. Read on Sid Barrett, he was an original member of PF and left the band due to drug induced mental illness. Crazy Diamond and Wish you were here, will pull at your heart
@@paulamoya7956Blasphemy to many no doubt, but I was never a big fan of DSOTM at the time. Occasionally I’ll binge on some YT music vids, and last night’s fare was on the release of the 50th Anniversary box set, as well as the fully remastered album - followed by the algorithm’s suggestions. Must say that almost any of David’s live performances are worth every GB of streaming data; Comfortably Numb from the 2016 Pompeii concert - the chops and showmanship are all still there.
Pink Floyd is one of the best bands that's ever been (literally) and they're a genre all to themselves. You can have rock, blues, funk, techno, fast, slow...all in one song. I cannot recommend enough that you listen to more Pink Floyd. They've influenced musicians of every genre for over 50 years. Please don't let the length of some of their songs dissuade you from listening to them, they always leave you wanting more. And for something truly fabulous watch their concert from the Pulse tour played at Earl's Court, London, 1994. Happy listening. You'll be forever changed. ✌🏽😊💗 I'd like to recommend *Time*, *Hey You*, *Comfortably Numb*, *Have a Cigar*, and the whole *Animals* album. That's just to start. LOL Their longest song *Echoes* is an absolute masterpiece.
Probably one of the most unique musical groups ever, and definitely in my top 3 of all time. You guys are in for a treat as you begin to discover Pink Floyd for yourselves. Great review and analysis guys!
Their albums need to be listened all the way through because they flow into each other and are stories. This video is from the movie The Wall. For something funky listen to “Money” from Dark Side of the Moon. Also should be listened to straight through. Also Welcome to the Machine, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, and Comfortably Numb just for starters.
Great review! I suggest "Comfortably Numb" for a reaction. The studio version is great, but their live performance at their Pulse concert is mind-blowing.
@@AlohaTrev It was a suggestion for a reaction. While I agree that the film provides context for the songs, reacting to the film doesn't fit their usual format of reacting to individual songs, plus many have reacted to the Pulse live version and had no issues with copyright strikes.
Pink Floyd are a thinking man's band. Often provoking just the kind of discussions and thoughts that you're doing here now. But what's truly amazing is how the music lives up to the profound lyrics and concepts. It is the reason their music has been around as long as it has and remained relevant for every subsequent generation . You might want to listen to "Time" by them from 'Dark Side of the Moon' next and be prepared to be equally blown away. Pink Floyd are a deep dark rabbit hole you are going to want to explore. In doing so you will discover why they were one of the most legendary and influential bands in popular music around the world.
You fellas nailed this one!! You are so right about the importance of a well rounded education that encourages artistic expression. This is one song from a full movie. British schools were notoriously cruel and used corporeal punishment. That beat and refrain would be an amazing sample !
The poem the professor is reading are the lyrics of the song "Money" from the amazing album The Dark Side Of The Moon. The Wall is not only a beautiful album, it's also a movie. Pink Floyd is a great band, one of the most talented in the world to me. All their albums are amazing, the music, the creativity, the lyrics... Thanks for your very nice reaction, glad you enjoyed it 👍😘
I have been following your reactions for a while now because I enjoy the quality and intelligence of your conversations and reactions.....you all are probably the best reactors out there. Pink Floyd is in the top 3 of the best bands ever and you all need to continue reacting to them....their music is pure melody, their lyrics poetry and carry deep meanings....you don't listen to Pink Floyd....you feel them I suggest you react to Wish you were here , and the live version pulse concert of Comfortably Number You all are going to be amazed and impressed Thanks again for thoughtful intelligent reactions
Any Boomers who are complaining about kids today sitting around all day smoking weed all day were definitely not my friends in the 70s. We smoked a crap ton of weed and hash back then. At least the Pink Floyd fans did, LOL. I managed to graduate high school and college while being super chill from all the weed and hash. 🤣
Such a timeless and relevant song! I strongly encourage you to react to more Pink Floyd. One interesting piece of trivia for you: When the teacher in the video was reading those words from the poem, they were actual lyrics from another huge hit of theirs titled, "Money" from their "Dark Side Of The Moon" album -- Another huge hit released in 1973. It also hit the Billboard's Top 100 list in the same year. It would be great if you could react to that one too. I think you will probably get as much out of it as you did this one! Thanks for this great reaction and analysis! You guys were spot on! ✌💙✌ Money - ruclips.net/video/-0kcet4aPpQ/видео.html
Over 300 million albums sold, here is a list. Comfortably numb, shine on you crazy diamond, time, young lust, wish you were here, have a cigar. On the turning away.
Love your channel bros!! Cracked up right along with you during the Bill Burr viewing!!! You guys are getting into some epic music here.. if you're into smoking herb and head music with super deep meaning, youve just opened the door to an experience you wont forget EVER! Start with Dark Side of The Moon. All pink floyd Albums must be played in its entirety . They're ALL recorded like a jig saw puzzle, each song being a piece. Do not play it any other way or you lose the magnitude and experience. Do side one Monday, side two on Tuesday. The 4 albums in sequence ..Dark side of the moon, wish you were here..animals... the wall... PLEASE! You will love it . P.S. Dark Side of the moon spent 20 years straight on Billboard 500. I GiVE YOU A 100% GUARANTEED SATISFACTION!!!
So this was pt 2 it was the one that charted. The others are much shorter. There is the album of the wall and it's also a movie that the video was taken from. But floyd over all is one of the greatest rock groups ever. I think comfortably numb is my favorite song from that album. But they are so much more than just the wall . The album darkside of the mood may very well be one of if not the best album of all time. I would check out tgat album but you need to listen to the album as a whole all at once. Its quite an experience.
If you listen to Mother on this album, it is about his mother suffocating him. I watched other reactors thinking it's a nice song on Mother's. The Wall should be listened to from start to finish as it is a whole story.
Austerity kills, no doubt. Pink Floyd dropped The Wall in 1979. "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" was the lead single from the album. I was twelve and almost half-way through eighth grade. The song was huge back then, plastered all over the radio. Some parents freaked over the chorus, some teachers freaked over the chorus, but most did not. As kids we could tell which adults were cool and which weren't to the extent they freaked over this song. There are actually four parts: "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1", "The Happiest Days of Our Lives", "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2", "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 3". The first three parts run in sequence on side one of the first record of The Wall. Part three sets up the last song on side two of the first record, "Goodbye Cruel World". What you saw there was an extract from the film adaptation they made a few years later. The Wall culminated a run of exceptional albums from Pink Floyd -- The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals. All four albums are more than worthy to listen to in their entirety straight through in one setting, especially The Dark Side of the Moon.
Right, the fact that this song can spark so much discussion speaks to how great Pink Floyd is. One of the most creative, deepest, talented rock bands EVER. Thanks for your reaction.
As stated earlier, you'll have to listen to Dark Side of the Moon ... songs in order, both sides! The 'poem' the teacher quoted at the beginning is the lyrics to "Money" from Dark Side of the Moon. Another unique song is "Young Lust". One of my favorites. Dark Side of the Moon one of the best selling albums worldwide of all time (over 40 million). The Wall is on the list with 30+ million sold.
This was a huge hit but the album "Dark Side of The Moon" was mire successful overall. It holds the record for most weeks on the charts. Over 700 weeks, also 4th best selling album of all time. The song "Money" from that album is the lyrics you heard the teacher reading.
"You gotta grow old and die" Check a double track combo Pink Floyd "Time" followed immediately by "The Great Gig in the Sky" These are on The Dark Side of the Moon (that's the T-Shirt album) Life, followed by the deepest dive into the emotions surrounding Death you will ever hear!
This band has sold over 300 million albums. Here is a list of well known songs. Time, shine on you crazy diamond, young lust. Wish you were here, have a cigar.
You should watch the movie. It’s very long, but it’s a psychedelic art piece in itself. My favorite Floyd song is Comfortably Numb…… a must hear for new fans!
I could have sworn I'd seen y'all do Floyd before but now I'm glad that I was mistaken because that means I can watch y'all discover them now. This is a rabbit hole you need to dive down headfirst.
Pink Floyd albums follow a theme and each song is part of the story they are telling. It is always good to listen to the entire album, but each song has a standalone story to tell. You absolutely nailed the theme of this song and I agree with you that this song is as pertinent today as it was in 1979 when this album was released. Pink Floyd was the band I listened to most when I was a teenager in the 1970s, and I still listen to them to this day. I always enjoy your reactions, but I particularly LOVED your commentary on this video. I love how honest and thoughtful you all are. These days, I feel like so many people I grew up with have just given up on the idea that all people deserve to be who they want to be, and are just calling everyone who has empathy or who doesn't agree with them "WOKE", as if that's an insult. I am 62 and if wanting all people to be able to follow their dreams and have equal opportunities for success is woke, than I am proud to be woke. Another song from this album that I think you would like is Comfortably Numb. The guitar solo in that song is considered by many, including me, to be the one of the best ever played. David Gilmour, the guitarist for Pink Floyd, doesn't just play the guitar, he makes it sing and it conveys as much emotion as the lyrics and vocalists do. This comment got way too long, but I love Pink Floyd and could talk for days about them. 🤣
Agreed, except if you do _Comfortably Numb_ PLEASE do the live Pulse '94 concert video & not the wrong one of _those_ either. Apparently even including that amount of detail in a recommendation isn't enough. To my dismay, there's a clip that fits that description as well but _ISN'T_ the right one. And it's wrong enough to be annoying. I'll try to come back with the link, but for now, on my behalf let me request: _Have A Cigar_ _Money_ _Time_ *but w/a caveat "Do the '73 album/studio version, _NO_ live, Pulse, unplugged, remixed, remastered or 5Oth anniversary versions, please & ty.
So happy for you to experience Pink Floyd! Great art is eternal! Dark Side of the Moon is a ride taken in its entirety. Not necessarily to respond to but to witness. Love you guys! 😽💋🎶
Pink Floyd is a band that you could truthfully apply the word “majestic” to. Their songs can give you chills. They can create a sense of awe. Their music can feel transcendent. And I’m not remotely engaging in hyperbole. There were other stupendous bands (The Beatles, Queen Led Zeppelin and others) but Pink Floyd will always be utterly unique to themselves. PLEASE give yourselves a great musical gift and listen to more Floyd. Perhaps start with their biggest selling album, Dark Side of the Moon ( the T-shirts with the pyramid and the light spectrum is the symbol of that album) and react in order of the tracks. Google how long this album charted. It was for OVER 15 consecutive YEARS..1973-1988. That has never been equalled. If you could say that ANY bands music will be played 100 years or more from now, it would be Pink Floyd.
This video is a clip from the movie, highly recommend watching. Pink Floyd....deep lyrics over perfect music! Dive in, Dark Side of the Moon album in it's entirety can change your life😁
I had the pleasure of seeing them perform the wall in concert. I can say out of all the concerts I've been to this is without a doubt the most amazing show I've ever seen. Second to none. Nothing will ever compare
Check out “Time” off their album The Dark Side of the moon. You will appreciate their musicianship and their lyrics tend to have unexpected messages. The Wall came out in ‘79 but holds true today. The Pink Floyd rabbit hole runs deep-I envy that you guys will get to discover their music for the first time. Also their albums are meant to be listened to from end to end-they make more sense that way. But The Wall is one of my favorites and is considered a classic.
Oh please please react to Dark side of the moon all at once .. straight thru (as intended ) What a treat that would be for all of us( especially you) let’s Go!! Every human being should be required to listen to this album .. it’s that good . I’ve been listening my entire 55 yrs. I’m so excited for your PF journey🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Echoes, Us And Them, Comfortably Numb, Pigs (three different ones), Wish you Were Here, Welcome To the Machine, High Hopes,... are waaay better songs than this one and will forever change your perspective of music as a whole.
Pink Floyd are their OWN genre! Start with the early stuff and work your way forward. Starting with the latest stuff and going backwards will drive you nuts!!! and seem counter logical in sequence. Plus if you start with the earlier stuff, you will then identify with 'elements' in the early stuff in later songs, showing how they've changed it, used it or expanded on a theme. Try, as many will tell you, to expose yourself to full album listens/recordings at one time (even if you only release you reactions one song at a time) as the songs and albums were meant to be experienced in this way - all together in one sitting. ENJOY THE GREAT RIDE AHEAD!
This is from the movie 'Pink Floyd-The Wall' and the movie should be watched in it's entirety and NEVER like this. If you're going to listen to the song on it's own then you should have listened to the ALBUM version.
You guys nailed this reaction. Of course we all need "education" but the structure of how our schools work is not what any of us needs or wants. We are not being educated, we are being indoctrinated.
This album delves into the idea of fascism and its roots pretty heavily. Pretty amazing movie too and this is from the movie. The album version is a little different. Good conversation!
David Gilmour’s guitar playing is so awesome. They don’t have a bad song. Love Pink Floyd. I am a retired teacher & all teachers need to understand that we can learn from our students just as much as they learn from us.
As an "older" PF fan I would say if you want to see the guys playing "back in the day" check out :- Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972 No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods in the ancient Roman Amphitheatre (it's a little song about all life on the entire planet and how we are all related and should be better human beings 😉)
So appreciate you guys sharing your hearts on this one. Yeah, Olli and I was definitely one that was "too free" to handle myself constructively. Got kicked out of school when now looking back, I desperately needed the structure and guidance EVEN or maybe even BECAUSE I was such a free spirit, but lacked the dream, aim, goals that allow you to "make it" for what ever that is.. I guess "make it" to me means to just "find your place" in life where you can contribute or at least FEEL like you are contributing to something you can take some pride in. Just before this, saw you guys reaction to 'Money'. Both reactions hit me on a deeper level. I should definitely look you three up more often. Thank you for the reflections and the sharing. Ya'll are beautiful.
The greatest of Pink Floyd can be seen very easily in the reaction & conversation their music provokes. You'll still be thinking about and discussing what you listen to for weeks, or months, or even years. And it's not just about the music that takes you on a journey, it's the timeless lyrics that hit hard no matter your background or your age. This is a deep rabbit hole you're headed down. Enjoy the ride! :)
“School” & “Education” are NOT mutually exclusive. “Religion” & “Philosophy” are NOT mutually exclusive. The formers have acquired a monopoly on the latters.
A very enjoyable and thoughtful reaction by you guys! Pink Floyd is truly in a class by themselves. You really should go through the songs on an album in order before moving onto the next album. Dark Side of the Moon should be your next album after this one. It is an experience.
There are just a handful of artists or bands that are truly unique and transcendent and have left their mark upon the world like Pink Floyd. The band originated as one of the pioneers of psychedelic rock in the 60's and have evolved to a more progressive rock incorporate elements of Jazz, Blues, Funk to create a category of their own. They have mastered the art of the plottingly slow chugging groove. This is the one band that actually transports you on a journey. Their music is thoughfully crafted to be consumed over the duration of an entire album. The track Another Brick in the Wall happens to be one of a handful of tracks that have and could be extracted out from the overall theme and can stand in its own into a single. The album with the Iconic Prism that is mentioned is their most successful album know as Dark Side of the Moon. The album was released in 1973 and was their 8th studio album. This album is considered a perfect album and as masterpiece, it has been rated as one of the greatest albums of all-time where it has charted for 981 weeks on the US Billboard charts. As of 2013, The Dark Side of the Moon has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album of the 1970s and the fourth-best-selling album in history. An incredible feat considering the album like all of Floyds work is not condusive to be in the form of a single. Although the track "TIME" & "MONEY" has been used as the primary singles that has had significant radio play. The album as whole should be experienced from begining to end. DARK SIDE IF THE MOON would mark the begining possibly the greatest stretch of any band can claim, all masterpieces. This would include another masterpiece known as WISH YOU WERE HERE in 1975. Followed by ANIMALS in 1977 and concluding with THE WALL in 1979. All worthy of checking out and reviewing.
This is why it is so important to listen to the album 1st which is considered a masterpiece before going anywhere near the movie. No distractions, no remixes and re-recordings and arrangements. Just the original music the way it was meant to be heard. Can't emphasize that enough!
Welcome to the rabbit hole.that I'd Pink Floyd... listen to Money!!! TRUMP ANTHEM not!!!! To quote pink " don't give me your do goodie good bullshit"!!
There are so many great pink Floyd albums usually you listen to the whole album and the songs kind of flow together if that makes since. The wall Animals 🔥 almost a meditation album very relaxing Are a couple of great albums I don't know of a bad pink Floyd album or song really Money Time Comfortably numb Mother Anybody out there Some of pf good songs to check out
From the "WALL"> '1994 Pulse" " Comfortably Numb" *********** please try not stop solo. You are watching from the movie "the Wall". The Wall album was # 1 worldwide in 1979 going into 1980. nothing like the end ' stop the indoctrination".
Pink Floyd is the only Band to create there own Genre and are second to none, there Album "Dark side of the Moon" is the biggest selling album in the world, 2nd is Ac/Dc "Back in Black"....The Wall Album is in a league of it's own just like the Movie ....Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall.
Went to see this and they actually built the wall. Giant school teacher pointing to crowd. Helicopters (replicas) flying over the crowd. It was "the wall from start to end) of album. Only did very few shows of The Wall. I was lucky. Never seen anything like it. Unbelievably unique. Hi boys. Live watching you. Love from London. Jan 😊
Should check out Dark Side Of The Moon album....but: there is NO BAD PINK FLOYD!! It's all meant to be FELT and EXPERIENCED. Almost every album is a continuance and should be listened-to, first song to last, in order of the album....Dark Side tells a story, much as The Wall - and, they'll blow your mind.... ENJOY!!!❤❤❤❤❤
If you guys ever do an album reaction, The Wall is such an epic listen. As far as songs go, Comfortably Numb is worth a reaction. Keep up the good work, loving the reactions 👍
Grew up poor and white in the South. These bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc. These things are like some kind of cultural touchstone for those of us that came up in the 80s. It was like some sort of secret knowledge.
That “poem” the little boy was writing is from the song “Money” - by Pink Floyd
Which is on dark side of the moon. ^^^^^^Please so that album in its entirety next . Please
@@paulamoya7956Wish You Were Here, still my favorite - going on 48yrs now. Thematically more cohesive and compelling a piece than DSOTM. Try to not listen to the entire album in one session.

The movie The Wall is bazaar but puts meaning to their mindset.
Read on Sid Barrett, he was an original member of PF and left the band due to drug induced mental illness. Crazy Diamond and Wish you were here, will pull at your heart
My mind was just blown by this fact.

Probably one of the most unique musical groups ever, and definitely in my top 3 of all time. You guys are in for a treat as you begin to discover Pink Floyd for yourselves. Great review and analysis guys!
Well said, sweetheart.
I have 4 bands, that together, i'm sure i could "musicaly survive" if nothing else was available: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and AC/DC
Pink Floyd are the cream of the crop. Musically they are second to none. Once you hear the depth of their music you will forever appreciate them.
My favorite band. 2nd is the Bee Gees.
Ren = None! Sorrynotsorry

Great review! I suggest "Comfortably Numb" for a reaction. The studio version is great, but their live performance at their Pulse concert is mind-blowing.
I'd suggest doing the album version first and watch the Pulse live version later.
Both wrong. Film first. The film makes all the songs make sense
@@AlohaTrev It was a suggestion for a reaction. While I agree that the film provides context for the songs, reacting to the film doesn't fit their usual format of reacting to individual songs, plus many have reacted to the Pulse live version and had no issues with copyright strikes.

The Wall (the movie/soundtrack) was like a psychedelic musical. It’s just one big mind trip. Loved it!!!

No, it is _NOT_ from a "movie" - the crap film was done years after the album and is total garbage!

Best band ever in my view. Y'all need to here the whole album, and watch the movie "The Wall", you would understand it so much more
Brilliant song, great video and fantastic comments by the three of you! By the way, I predict you have more Pink Floyd ahead of you!
Pink Floyd is one of the best/most unique bands in history.. beyond talented

This was a huge hit but the album "Dark Side of The Moon" was mire successful overall. It holds the record for most weeks on the charts. Over 700 weeks, also 4th best selling album of all time. The song "Money" from that album is the lyrics you heard the teacher reading.
The poem he reads are lyrics from the Pink Floyd song Money from the album Dark Side of the Moon
"You gotta grow old and die"
Check a double track combo
Pink Floyd "Time"
followed immediately by
"The Great Gig in the Sky"
These are on The Dark Side of the Moon (that's the T-Shirt album)
Life, followed by the deepest dive into the emotions surrounding Death you will ever hear!
This band has sold over 300 million albums. Here is a list of well known songs. Time, shine on you crazy diamond, young lust. Wish you were here, have a cigar.
You should watch the movie. It’s very long, but it’s a psychedelic art piece in itself. My favorite Floyd song is Comfortably Numb…… a must hear for new fans!
Yasss! More Floyd! After THe Wall, yall need to listen to the Dark Side of The Moon album.
I could have sworn I'd seen y'all do Floyd before but now I'm glad that I was mistaken because that means I can watch y'all discover them now. This is a rabbit hole you need to dive down headfirst.
Pink Floyd albums follow a theme and each song is part of the story they are telling. It is always good to listen to the entire album, but each song has a standalone story to tell. You absolutely nailed the theme of this song and I agree with you that this song is as pertinent today as it was in 1979 when this album was released. Pink Floyd was the band I listened to most when I was a teenager in the 1970s, and I still listen to them to this day.
I always enjoy your reactions, but I particularly LOVED your commentary on this video. I love how honest and thoughtful you all are. These days, I feel like so many people I grew up with have just given up on the idea that all people deserve to be who they want to be, and are just calling everyone who has empathy or who doesn't agree with them "WOKE", as if that's an insult. I am 62 and if wanting all people to be able to follow their dreams and have equal opportunities for success is woke, than I am proud to be woke.
Another song from this album that I think you would like is Comfortably Numb. The guitar solo in that song is considered by many, including me, to be the one of the best ever played. David Gilmour, the guitarist for Pink Floyd, doesn't just play the guitar, he makes it sing and it conveys as much emotion as the lyrics and vocalists do. This comment got way too long, but I love Pink Floyd and could talk for days about them. 🤣
I'm a proud woke person too 😊
Agreed, except if you do _Comfortably Numb_ PLEASE do the live Pulse '94 concert video & not the wrong one of _those_ either. Apparently even including that amount of detail in a recommendation isn't enough. To my dismay, there's a clip that fits that description as well but _ISN'T_ the right one. And it's wrong enough to be annoying. I'll try to come back with the link, but for now, on my behalf let me request:
_Have A Cigar_
_Money_
_Time_ *but w/a caveat
"Do the '73 album/studio version, _NO_ live, Pulse, unplugged, remixed, remastered or 5Oth anniversary versions, please & ty.
So happy for you to experience Pink Floyd! Great art is eternal! Dark Side of the Moon is a ride taken in its entirety. Not necessarily to respond to but to witness. Love you guys! 😽💋🎶
I LOVE Dark Side of the Moon. I think they would enjoy it too
Pink Floyd is a band that you could truthfully apply the word “majestic” to. Their songs can give you chills. They can create a sense of awe. Their music can feel transcendent. And I’m not remotely engaging in hyperbole. There were other stupendous bands (The Beatles, Queen
Led Zeppelin and others) but Pink Floyd will always be utterly unique to themselves. PLEASE give yourselves a great musical gift and listen to more Floyd. Perhaps start with their biggest selling album, Dark Side of the Moon ( the T-shirts with the pyramid and the light spectrum is the symbol of that album) and react in order of the tracks. Google how long this album charted. It was for OVER 15 consecutive YEARS..1973-1988. That has never been equalled. If you could say that ANY bands music will be played 100 years or more from now, it would be Pink Floyd.
Try time next. You guys will certainly relate to it. Great reaction fellers to a band that is at a level all of their own 👍❤🏴
Dark side of the moon album is a must. Best album ever in my opinion.
This video is a clip from the movie, highly recommend watching. Pink Floyd....deep lyrics over perfect music! Dive in, Dark Side of the Moon album in it's entirety can change your life😁
In my humble opinion PINK FLOYD are the greatest progressive rock band in the world bar none.
The poem the boy writes in the beginning are lyrics from another Pink Floyd masterpiece "Money". Definitely a must watch!
I had the pleasure of seeing them perform the wall in concert. I can say out of all the concerts I've been to this is without a doubt the most amazing show I've ever seen. Second to none. Nothing will ever compare
One of the greatest bands to ever exist they are their own genre you have to listen to the album's to fully get the experience
Olli - “thats how you know it’s good” - for real! It’s a damn good song, and it got the crew talking. X
Check out “Time” off their album The Dark Side of the moon. You will appreciate their musicianship and their lyrics tend to have unexpected messages. The Wall came out in ‘79 but holds true today. The Pink Floyd rabbit hole runs deep-I envy that you guys will get to discover their music for the first time. Also their albums are meant to be listened to from end to end-they make more sense that way. But The Wall is one of my favorites and is considered a classic.
Is 🪇FREEDOM🪇📻🎼🎵🎵🎵🗿check PINK FLOYD music video 🌏🌎🌍🎼LEARNIG TO FLY🎼☮️✌️
Oh please please react to Dark side of the moon all at once .. straight thru (as intended ) What a treat that would be for all of us( especially you) let’s Go!! Every human being should be required to listen to this album .. it’s that good . I’ve been listening my entire 55 yrs. I’m so excited for your PF journey🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
Echoes, Us And Them, Comfortably Numb, Pigs (three different ones), Wish you Were Here, Welcome To the Machine, High Hopes,... are waaay better songs than this one and will forever change your perspective of music as a whole.
Pink Floyd are their OWN genre! Start with the early stuff and work your way forward. Starting with the latest stuff and going backwards will drive you nuts!!! and seem counter logical in sequence. Plus if you start with the earlier stuff, you will then identify with 'elements' in the early stuff in later songs, showing how they've changed it, used it or expanded on a theme. Try, as many will tell you, to expose yourself to full album listens/recordings at one time (even if you only release you reactions one song at a time) as the songs and albums were meant to be experienced in this way - all together in one sitting.
ENJOY THE GREAT RIDE AHEAD!
Correct me if I'm wrong but did I hear phenom 202 mention " Rocky Dennis?????
This is from the movie 'Pink Floyd-The Wall' and the movie should be watched in it's entirety and NEVER like this. If you're going to listen to the song on it's own then you should have listened to the ALBUM version.
You guys nailed this reaction. Of course we all need "education" but the structure of how our schools work is not what any of us needs or wants. We are not being educated, we are being indoctrinated.
The Floyd sold over 250 million albums.
This album delves into the idea of fascism and its roots pretty heavily. Pretty amazing movie too and this is from the movie. The album version is a little different. Good conversation!
David Gilmour’s guitar playing is so awesome. They don’t have a bad song. Love Pink Floyd. I am a retired teacher & all teachers need to understand that we can learn from our students just as much as they learn from us.
If you want more of that same feel, checkout “Run Like Hell”, from the same album.
This was banned in South Africa during Apartheid because it was being used as a rallying song .
You're about to go on a huge spiral. Pink Floyd is my favorite band;literally legends ❤
As an "older" PF fan I would say if you want to see the guys playing "back in the day" check out :-
Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972
No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods in the ancient Roman Amphitheatre
(it's a little song about all life on the entire planet and how we are all related and should be better human beings 😉)
So appreciate you guys sharing your hearts on this one. Yeah, Olli and I was definitely one that was "too free" to handle myself constructively. Got kicked out of school when now looking back, I desperately needed the structure and guidance EVEN or maybe even BECAUSE I was such a free spirit, but lacked the dream, aim, goals that allow you to "make it" for what ever that is.. I guess "make it" to me means to just "find your place" in life where you can contribute or at least FEEL like you are contributing to something you can take some pride in. Just before this, saw you guys reaction to 'Money'. Both reactions hit me on a deeper level. I should definitely look you three up more often. Thank you for the reflections and the sharing. Ya'll are beautiful.
The poem is their song called Money. Great song from dark side of the moon.
Fantastic reaction guys, you get PF. Looking forward to seeing more floyd on your show. Recommend pulse live. 👍🏴
I agree resurrect the Arts!! That's why theyre coming up with AI
The greatest of Pink Floyd can be seen very easily in the reaction & conversation their music provokes. You'll still be thinking about and discussing what you listen to for weeks, or months, or even years. And it's not just about the music that takes you on a journey, it's the timeless lyrics that hit hard no matter your background or your age. This is a deep rabbit hole you're headed down. Enjoy the ride! :)
“School” & “Education” are NOT mutually exclusive.
“Religion” & “Philosophy” are NOT mutually exclusive.
The formers have acquired a monopoly on the latters.
Religions & Politics, that's the problem.
Thank god you three will not have to go through life without Pink Floyd now!
Im loving your discussion on the conformity of education
Comfortably Numb and Sorrow from the live Pulse Concert! The whole Concert is phenomenal! Thank you guys!
Modern reactions seem to be putting "TIME" as their best song, check it out
A very enjoyable and thoughtful reaction by you guys! Pink Floyd is truly in a class by themselves. You really should go through the songs on an album in order before moving onto the next album. Dark Side of the Moon should be your next album after this one. It is an experience.
That was an outstanding post-reaction discussion...
In your own time please listen to the album track.
Education comes in different forms that can benefit many
60 years old and they're always one of my top 5 list with LZ, Allman Brothers, Steely Dan and SRV! The Arts are part of humanity's commonality.
That's all a screen from the movievThe Wall.
You guys should listen to Pink Floyd Time. It’s one of their best and most popular songs. A song that really hits when your older.
You started properly, oh yes ...
Yep... Leave them kids alone. 😮 ❤
Come on boys you know this.
Now watch the movie !
pink floyd has been my fav band for over 45 years saw them live best concert i ever saw
There are just a handful of artists or bands that are truly unique and transcendent and have left their mark upon the world like Pink Floyd. The band originated as one of the pioneers of psychedelic rock in the 60's and have evolved to a more progressive rock incorporate elements of Jazz, Blues, Funk to create a category of their own. They have mastered the art of the plottingly slow chugging groove. This is the one band that actually transports you on a journey. Their music is thoughfully crafted to be consumed over the duration of an entire album.
The track Another Brick in the Wall happens to be one of a handful of tracks that have and could be extracted out from the overall theme and can stand in its own into a single. The album with the Iconic Prism that is mentioned is their most successful album know as Dark Side of the Moon. The album was released in 1973 and was their 8th studio album. This album is considered a perfect album and as masterpiece, it has been rated as one of the greatest albums of all-time where it has charted for 981 weeks on the US Billboard charts.
As of 2013, The Dark Side of the Moon has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album of the 1970s and the fourth-best-selling album in history. An incredible feat considering the album like all of Floyds work is not condusive to be in the form of a single. Although the track "TIME" & "MONEY" has been used as the primary singles that has had significant radio play. The album as whole should be experienced from begining to end.
DARK SIDE IF THE MOON would mark the begining possibly the greatest stretch of any band can claim, all masterpieces. This would include another masterpiece known as WISH YOU WERE HERE in 1975. Followed by ANIMALS in 1977 and concluding with THE WALL in 1979. All worthy of checking out and reviewing.
it burns my ass that the video distracts the most right when one of the best rock guitar solos is happening... David Gilmour made Pink Floyd whole
This is why it is so important to listen to the album 1st which is considered a masterpiece before going anywhere near the movie. No distractions, no remixes and re-recordings and arrangements. Just the original music the way it was meant to be heard. Can't emphasize that enough!
@@flubblert exactly... videos and live versions almost always distract from the music
Welcome to the rabbit hole.that I'd Pink Floyd... listen to Money!!! TRUMP ANTHEM not!!!! To quote pink " don't give me your do goodie good bullshit"!!
The song was deep
With this LP, you pretty have to start at the beginning and work your way through to really understand and appreciate it.
Corey- 'Brick in the WALL! BRICK IN THE WALL!' You're thinking of 'Breaking the Law! Breaking the LAW!' 😎
There are so many great pink Floyd albums usually you listen to the whole album and the songs kind of flow together if that makes since.
The wall
Animals 🔥 almost a meditation album very relaxing
Are a couple of great albums I don't know of a bad pink Floyd album or song really
Money
Time
Comfortably numb
Mother
Anybody out there
Some of pf good songs to check out
Fellas, you must checkout Comfortably Numb. Mind blowing
From the "WALL"> '1994 Pulse" " Comfortably Numb" *********** please try not stop solo. You are watching from the movie "the Wall". The Wall album was # 1 worldwide in 1979 going into 1980. nothing like the end ' stop the indoctrination".
Pink Floyd is the only Band to create there own Genre and are second to none, there Album "Dark side of the Moon" is the biggest selling album in the world, 2nd is Ac/Dc "Back in Black"....The Wall Album is in a league of it's own just like the Movie ....Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall.
Went to see this and they actually built the wall. Giant school teacher pointing to crowd. Helicopters (replicas) flying over the crowd. It was "the wall from start to end) of album. Only did very few shows of The Wall. I was lucky. Never seen anything like it. Unbelievably unique. Hi boys. Live watching you. Love from London. Jan 😊
Should check out Dark Side Of The Moon album....but: there is NO BAD PINK FLOYD!! It's all meant to be FELT and EXPERIENCED. Almost every album is a continuance and should be listened-to, first song to last, in order of the album....Dark Side tells a story, much as The Wall - and, they'll blow your mind.... ENJOY!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Olli knows the deal.. 100.. the system.
Edit: all three of you know the deal.. I spoke too soon lol.. Great reaction
If you guys ever do an album reaction, The Wall is such an epic listen. As far as songs go, Comfortably Numb is worth a reaction. Keep up the good work, loving the reactions 👍
Grew up poor and white in the South. These bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc. These things are like some kind of cultural touchstone for those of us that came up in the 80s. It was like some sort of secret knowledge.
P. S. The lyrics the boy gets reprimanded for are the lyrics to the song MONEY on Dark Side Of The Moon.... 😁
