- Therapist reacts to Wish You Were here by Pink Floyd to discuss how being in pain WITH someone changes the experience of the pain. The situation can be the same, but the pain feels different when you have someone to swim in the fishbowl of life with.

![Us and Them, Brain Damage [QUADRAPHONIC Reaction] Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon, Side 2](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/N9vUeqj5oOY/mqdefault.jpg)
Whole album was a dedicated to Sid, Shine on crazy Diamond 💎 is a must, 10 of 10 album. No surprise, it’s Pink Floyd
This was written in tribute to Syd who left the band because of mental and physical health issues. David and Roger missing their good friend while noticing its important to be present and freeing yourself to enjoy life to it's fullest.
Syd and David used to sit in their room playing songs on the radio together hence the radio in the beginning the song, the mouthing of the guitars was what kids did on air guitars when they couldn’t really afford a guitar. The song is David reminiscing the early days before syd left and the good times they shared as kids hence David Gilmore wishing syd was here!
@@roadrat59 David never met Syd when they were kids, Roger did. David was friend with Syd when they were teenagers.
@@silentgnome Teenagers are kids.
One of the greatest songs ever composed, it absolutely deserves the studio version, on your own time if nothing else!
When I was a teenager, my dad was really cool and would listen to the music I like and always give it a chance. I showed him Radiohead, he showed me Pink Floyd. We still talk about those two bands today. It's been 25 years.
Another beautiful song from this great Pulse concert is High Hopes. I think you'd really enjoy it.
S hine on
Y ou crazy

RIP Syd Barrett!
(Roger Waters is a brilliant poet)
Aree with you completely
You should try more more Pink Floyd It's almost cathartic.
While some think Syd over used LSD and he may have, it's more likely he had schizophrenia. The song is primarily about Syd. But I and others think that in part it's also about the writers (Roger) father as well.
Time for you to dive into The Dark Side of the Moon. And the song Time would be appropriate.
The lyrics hit deep. Never fails to make you examine your own life. "On The Turning Away" is another great song where the lyrics hit hard. Oh! Also "Brain Damage/Eclipse" Ok. I'll stop bugging you now 😂
4:16 - AFAIK Syd Barrett wasn't so much LSD addicted as he was hitting onset of schizophrenia and there seems to be a desire at that time for some people with schizophrenia to jump into it faster - like their brain's holding a configuration that it can't hold anymore and the LSD speeds up the transition? That seems to be the broader back story.
That's my take as well. You can't really get addicted to LSD because (iirc) you have to double the amount you take for it to work on consecutive days. Like if you took 1 hit on Monday, you would have to 2 hits on Tuesday to get the same high you had on Monday. At a certain point in order to trip you would have to drink a glass full LSD.
I do think that his frequent use may have brought on his schizophrenia earlier than it may have come about naturally, but I don't expect we will ever know for sure. It may have played out the same if he never used it at all for all we know.
It's more complex. Part was his drug use, part was his mental issues and the part few people acknowledge- Fame can sometimes be overwhelming in of itself. He might have been able to handle one or two of those, but the three together were too much.
i feel like Floyd's music should probably be digested for the first time in studio form.
I largely agree, but the Pulse tour was as close to perfection as any band could do live, minus Roger doing his parts of course.
Agree and I generally say the same with any of my favourite bands
Syd actually showed up to the studio while they were recording the album about him! Check out the song 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond ' if you get a chance, it's also about him
All 9 parts.
Subscribed from Nova Scotia, Canada. Enjoyed your analysis of this and Comfortably Numb..More Pink Floyd, and then hit up Led Zeppelin, and then Billy Strings... and....and.. LOL...
As much as I love the Pulse performance, there is a sweetness and melancholy in the original album version that is unbeatable, in a way that is much more intimate.
The way the song was produced feels like you're in a small room, with a small group of friends, and one starts plucking at the strings, singing his heart out in memory of a lost friend.
It's a gem, truly hard to replicate in a large venue.
Try the album version sometime, on your own. If you lost someone, it will hit it very very hard, specially if you know the meaning behind the lyrics.
I didn't get Pink Floyd in my teens. I was like "How long is this intro? When does the song start?". But a few days after my grandpa died, I had to prepare a presentation for school and I just listened to what randomly came next on youtube. Probably because I looked up a few Pink Floyd songs before (again didn't really care about them) this song began playing, but this time it hit so deep. Pink Floyd has been my favorite band ever since. No other artist touched me as much through lyrics and music as they did.
Can you react to pearl jam Jeremy
Incredible reaction, as always!
The song (and another (pair of) song(s) on the album, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1+2)) IS about their former frontman, Syd Barrett, but it was less addiction to LSD and more the fact that he had SEVERE mental illness that hit in his early-mid 20s, and just sort of came undone. The LSD certainly didn't help, but I think that the general consensus from health professionals who know the story is that he had some sort of schizoaffective disorder that was emerging even prior to the drug use. It's a really tragic story.
I think it was Gilmore who told a really rough anecdote: they were in the studio a few years after he left, and an old, disheveled overweight guy came in and was just watching them. They started wondering what the hell this old, weird guy was doing hanging out in their space, and then after a while it clicked: it was Syd, who was their age. His illness had so ravaged him that he was literally unrecognizable.
The whole thing deeply affected the band, and even to this day a good 50 years later they noticeably have trouble discussing it.
I was looking through the comments about Syd showing up in the studio, you beat me to it!
If you get the chance - react to 'There's No Way Out of Here' by David Gilmour, powerful 'atheist grappling with the terms of existence' track.
Wow, I haven't met too many people who are familiar with David Gilmour's old solo stuff. Respect!
Congrats on getting the recognition on your local radio station Taylor !! Yea...Pink Floyd has an immense catalog of great songs !! The turning away,learning to fly,money,dark side of the moon/brain damage,comfortably numb,time are some of their best works...but there's many others that are classics !! 😁🤘/👍👊🤘
Contrary to popular belief, Wish You Were Here isn't about Syd, It's Roger Waters reflecting on his own life. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is about Syd.
pink Floyd is awesome you should do some NIGHTWISH like Ghost Love Score or any of songs I think you would join the NIGHTWISH ARMY!!!!!!!!
So glad you’re experiencing Floyd. You might get more out of the band if you start out by doing their studio versions first. Four guys in the studio versus an entire ensemble group. It’s amazing how 4 guys can fill the sound they do. Roger was a master lyricist, and Gilmore replaced Syd, the guy that too much cid ironically enough. Roger is an adamant anti-war guy, so when I hear this song I feel like I’m listening to a war vet talking to another war vet buddy.
I think you should do both versions of “last resort” the original is by Papa Roach and the absolutely beautiful cover done by Fallon Reverse.
I think you’ll enjoy both and the message.
He didn't leave because of drugs, he was literally going through Schizophrenia and had been for a long time and couldn't take it anymore. Drugs were his meds.
Never heard of anyone ever being addicted to lsd
Even though the song is about Syd, as the years go by, to me it feels as if the song is becoming more about David and Roger. It’s as if what little, if any, respect and caring they have left for one another is calling out to the other. I thank both of them for when they gave us these great albums and songs that are open for our interpretation 🌈💎🐕🐑🐖⚒️
I think that the first verse is about Syd but the chorus is about David and Roger.
Greetings from Miami. Great reaction! Please check out TIME by Pink Floyd (PULSE live).
This song was written for a lost bandmate, Syd Barrett. We all wish he was here........
Huge fan of the natural look.
Leave a light on Papa roach

Floydian philosopher here. Love your reactions! (My 2 favorite artists are Ren and Pink Floyd, so...) There are certain PF songs you'll be seeing a lot of requests for and although you really can't go wrong with any of them I'll agree with Time from Dark Side of the Moon as one that's right up your alley. I do concur with a few others that have recommended you react to studio versions as there are often tons of great production nuggets to experience. (Comfortably Numb being an exception; the extended outro solo live is always amazing, no matter which concert you pick). Keep em' coming!
Correction - Syd Barrett the former front man for Pink Floyd that this song is partially about, did not drop out - the band left him behind because his descent into madness, initiated by probably overdosing on LSD left him incapable of communicating, or playing/singing his parts on stage. To get a better sense of how the band viewed this loss (he was a childhood friend of both Roger and David, and I believe Nick too), listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Syd's descent (to insanity - his dissociative state was mental and permanent) "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun... Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky". David, Rick, Roger and Nick all describe their recollections in Edginton's documentaries.
David Gilmour has a tour right now for his latest album, and the concert features Wish You Were Here. Here he is at 78 years young, last Friday evening in Rome:

Not only has David created some really excellent music, but his musical genius and looks have been passed on to his daughter Romany:

Can you imagine having David Gilmour as your dad and music teacher? And she so looks like a young David! And she is on tour with him now, performing some lead and backup singing, as well as her harp.
My dad and I would listen to Pink Floyd. I saw them in concert in 1994. Amazing! My dad passed away in February of 2022. I miss him so much and thankful I have Pink Floyd’s music to help me feel close to him.
There's a band called Nightwish that does a song called "Song of Myself", which is a stream of consciousness from the keyboardist...the main songwriter. I think you'd like it. Live at Wacken 2013, by the way.
Pink Floyd is my absolute favourite band and I enjoy watching reaction videos to their music. However, they are definitely a band that deserves full album reviews to really get the context and impact of their music. At least for DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall.
As great as this song is, in my opinion they express their feelings about Syd Barrett more in the song "Shine on You crazy Diamond"....There is a great live version from this same concert that I would recommend that you react to, if I may be so bold.... Wherever life finds you I hope it finds you and those that you love safe and well....AHIMSA!!!!
So I just lost a friend who I'd been friends with for 30 years. We went through separate terrible childhood traumas and got each other through them. We fought through addictions together and sobriety. We continued to try to navigate mental health issues together throughout our lives. She died 2 years ago after a long long health battle. I have her ashes in an urn on a shelf in my house. Honestly I'm kinda lost without knowing she's here on earth somewhere. This song kills me every time. Saw Pink Floyd in 1994. I'm going to see David Gilmour in November 30 years later in NYC. I really do wish she was here.
I was 12 when I heard Pink Floyd the first time. I still listen 45 years later. Each album makes me feel different things, even today. ... Great reaction.
Love this channel! Honestly I was suprised you haven't done any reactions to any of Marilyn Mason Songs. Marilyn Manson: “Music is the strongest form of magic.” I would suggest starting off with (Man That You Fear) or (Tarnique) Honestly all of his music is deep and thought out. It would be nice to get your insight on it!
I have always found, or told myself, that I’ve needed to be in a specific mood to listen to Pink Floyd. Ironically, the only time I listen to them is always randomly. Your analysis and positivity Ms. Taylor, makes me emotional when I didn’t even know there was emotion in songs I’ve listened to for years. Thank you for doing what you do it’s a godsend in my opinion!! Thank you to everyone @heartsupport you’re all phenomenal individuals!!
I feel like Metallica wrote similar lyrics in Damage inc.
Pink Floyd’s “a walk on part in a war, for a lead roll in a cage” versus Metallica’s “Living on your knees conformity or dying on your feet for honesty” (but English is not my native language so I don’t know for sure)
Way back in the last century, when I was in high school I had a part time job after school in our local mall. I worked in the stock room of an Ormonds clothing store. Well behind the register they had a cabinet with a turntable in it that played throughout the place. They'd get records from the Sam Goody's music store and the assistant manager would pull up ZZ Top, Aerosmith, the Stones, and a lot of Pink Floyd.
FYI... If you've ever been to a Pink Floyd concert, you will know that they don't use fog machines. All the "smoke" is from the audience.
I know what this song is about. To me I heard this song playing while I was riding home with my grandpa after my brother had just died. The sunset was absolutely beautiful over the Sonoita sky. I'll never forget that moment. My lost hero spent in song with my ultimate hero. Both in tears, even though he has no clue who Pink Floyd was. A band my brother introduced me to.
Hi!! I follow your channel from italy and I love it so much! In 2 days I'll go to David Gilmour's concert and this song is in the setlist.... Ready to cry all my tears!!!! kisss
OH: THE LYRICS!! My late husband KNOWS this is dedicated to HIM, today!!
this was the theme to my 9th grade semi-formal..... picture 9th grade boys with tables decorated with fishbowls with 2 live goldfish in each one. needless to say boys that age aren't very mature and will do and drink anything on a dare, apparently!!! was not impressed with my peers that night, left early, tried to save a few but didn't happen. ugh. Anyway, I've always loved this song, have friends that can play and sing this very well, especially around a campfire
Listen to Shine on Your crazy Diamond instead. That´s about therre ex frontman SYD Barett. And his drugaddictions.
Best live experience ever, and I've been to a gazillion shows in my 55yrs. Perfect blend of audio and visual, you feel it in a way that 99% of concerts just cannot achieve.
Can you please react to "My Throat is an Open Grave (Resurrected Version) by Demon Hunter? There's a metal version, too, but I honestly prefer the resurrected version of the song.
Hey😊 You should definitely listen and react to Doomed by Bring me the Horizon. Fits your content perfectly😁
We, kids of the 70's and 80's, used to get high and go to the local planetarium for Laser Floyd. Pink Floyd music and a laser light show set to the music.
Could you react to Good Things by Ekoh and Lo Spirit? I think it's something very fitting for your channel.
It is not about Syd. It's about anyone living their life safe. Not taking any chances on the unknown. also expanding your mind...learning.
If you lied this than Shine on you crazy Diamond you will love, Not many people find it emotional but it moves me. The Lyrics are one thing, but if the song had lyrics (like Great gig) the music tells you everything that needs to be said
I really like your reactions, try the song whole by flaw, song is about the singers mom suicid€..😢😢😢
Pink floyd has a special place in my heart. Back in college, my cousin and I would listen to the wall or dark side, beginning to end in my old buick while smoking a fat blunt. Great times. Miss those days...
My brother and I were both addicts unfortunately he lost the battle and Pink Floyd was the common ground we had. Listening to this song just hits different cause he was the only one who understood me. I’ve never been the same since.
"Did you exchange a walk on part in the for a lead role in a cage." Is my fav part. Always took it to be asking the question....is playing the lead role(what many aspire to) in a small confined thing realy more significant than a small role in something much more important.
I am one of those fish that swim lonely in a fishbowl after the death of my wife. That's life, and what you can't change, you have to learn to accept. I wish you were here, I often say to my late wife, and I hear her voice like an echo. I am already 70 years old, and alone in a dark old flat, I realise that I have only had one friend all my life, and that was my wife. I don't listen to the song very often because it is painful. I used to play it a lot on guitar as a teenager, but that was in a different world full of possibilities, wonders and life paths.
Study the origins of hallucinogens and there effects. There's a very complex and interesting history.
@HeartSupport This song feels so real to me because im battling addiction as ee speak and i recently relapsed after 2 years wober and feel in a dark place of self hate and worthlessness. And im not sure how to get back up at the moment. Thank you for all you do.
This was from the Pulse concert film from 1994, which in my personal opinion is the best concert film ever. The only issue is that they recorded the video to tape instead of film, which is why they can never fully remaster the video.
My favorite line in this song: "We're just two lost souls swimmin' in a fishbowl: year after year"...
Please consider reacting to High Hopes by Floyd. Thanks for what you do.
Long time Pink Floyd fan here, love your reaction and comments 👍
Maybe a very different take, but when my dad died young, we always used to play game of what if he was still here. That feels like all the contradictions in the beginning of the song. But in the end we never figure anything out, just keep running over the same topics. Ultimately we land on that we will never know, but just which he was still here.
Oct 3rd is suppose to be my wife and I’s 9 year wedding anniversary and we split in February 😔
When you have a moment, I think a powerful song would be Car Radio by twenty one pilots
In my opinion...this is the best album they produced. It is seamless. And meant...to be listened to in its entirety as an album. Drop the needle...listen to Side 1...flip the album...drop the needle...listen to Side 2. There is no other way to understand this song without the other tracks
What exactly does it mean when a RUclips therapist reviews nothing but my favorite songs?
Hi David gilmour from pink Floyd is a brilliant guitarist you should listen to more of him. I loved your ren reactions aswell. ❤
This song always reminds me of my dad now.. Pink Floyd was his favorite band and he would play this song on guitar and sing! 😭
If you want to hear Syd Barret with the band just listen to the first Pink Floyd album Piper at The Gates Of Dawn.. It is the very best one to listen to before all of the rest.
My other fish (yes we were both Pisces) walked away so now I'm just one fish now. Guess nothing wrong with that.
The line....."walk on part in a war, to a lead role in a cage', makes me think of Vietnam, during the draft. Dodgers went to jail.
I recommend taking a listen to some of Jeff Buckleys music, such as Grace and lover you should’ve come over.
Factually, this album and the Wall by Pink Floyd are two of the deepest and most meaningful albums anyone could listen to.
Pink Floyd will, always, get a like. They transcend genre, and they don't play fair.
Wisconsin boy here! Let's go!! I love Pink Floyd's music. So iconic
Can you do King Of Nowhere by Clever please?! 🖤🖤
You cannot react to wish you were here and not react to the greatest song Pink Floyd ever did which is the first song on this same album (and technically the last song as well.)
Timeless music and musicality. This is why Pink Floyd rates in music lovers top 10 lists of all time.
I had a breakup after 5 years int relationship and after 3 months still feel lost and she was who went through things with and I think what makes the breakup harder is she is who would have supported me through hard times and she is gone.
These lyrics are really amazing. Maybe the best by Waters? That's saying a lot, but....
one day things were so bad god parted the stormy sky and looked down upon me, i saw and felt him, he showed me sooooo much and told me "dont worry i got this". does that make me crazy? if so then being crazy is the only sane choice in an insane world.
Being present in one's own life and freeing one's self in order to truly experience life is a main topic in this song. Gilmour, on the other hand, recognises that he never performs the song without remembering Syd Barrett. Waters later adds that the song is nevertheless open to interpretation.
There are so many great Pink Floyd songs... but I don't think I have listened to any of them more often than this one 👍😎
I would love to get your opinion on the song "quitter talk" by half me. I think you would find value in it
I hope you can check Shine on you crazy diamond! Cheers, great reaction!
Pink Floyd Light shows are second to none, officially.
I love the channel! Another song of theirs to try is High Hopes from their last album Division Bell. A ton to dig into there.
I am very happy you did this the lyrics are so deep and its like that in most every song they did they can touch your soul with just the music but then you add these lyrics and you get a very strong experience most people that have listened to them for a long time stay listening for that reason.
sorry, in my opinion you should have done the studio recording for this song. hearing the live version just doesnt hit the same. at least to me
Pink Floyd is music therapy, always has been 👍😁
Check out Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet On the night!
David Gilmore has said one of his biggest regrets was not being there for his friend Sid Barret.
This my favorite Pink Floyd album 💿 glad you are doing this!! Listen to the whole album it’s amazing 🤩
In my day, it was the first song every frat boy learned to play on the guitar.
I identify with all this way too much. But from the one being lost.
