Fun fact: Not only is this song timeless, it actually becomes more and more relevant as you are getting older.
yep I am 65 now, have no idea where the last 40 years went...spooky to think about it and I first heard this when I was 18..
48 years old here. Yeah. This might be the only Universal Truth.
Absolutely.
@@scottwhitlock9201 I'm early 40s and have no idea where the last 20 went. Sigh. Need to take acid again, I think.
@@maskedman1337 that was in 75 the last time i did..
Yes, Lex, I think we can all relate to the passage of time. One minute I'm a teenager listening to Dark Side of the Moon, and the next minute I'm 66 and watching Brad and Lex listen to it. 😉😉
😥😥😥🤪
@@LordEagle 😆
Wow, yes
I resemble that remark..😎
Me too!
Simply one of the most beautiful, powerful, meaningful, and relatable songs ever written by any artist.
One of the only songs ever that literally gives me chills every single time I listen to it
No pink floyd song is simple😊
Yup
Amen.....so true
I was listening to this song when I was 16 now I am 63 I still love it and it is so true it hurts 😂
I feel you, this song was from my teen years.
I am 57 years old now, and let me tell ya....the words of "Time" hit you so much harder as you get older. I love this song, but it makes me emotional now...whereas I used to just love it for the musical & lyrical genius !!!!
I’m 72… life goes past so quickly! But - there’s balance - you get happier, more contented, as you get older…. And we had some good music back then!!!
Same age. I think I’ve hit that age of acceptance of the inevitable. Not to say I’m giving up! Hell no. Just able to think and plan for that day (hopefully long away) a little more easily.
I’m 48 and ridden motorcycles since I was in diapers I’ve seen more death I’m my life than I care to think of I make sure I tell everyone I love that I love them every chance I get for just that reason because I don’t know if I will ever see them alive again or them me
My advice is smell as many flowers and thunder storms as you can
Enjoy everyday as much as you can
Change that which you can while you can do it
And Accept those things you can’t change with a smile ; even death
Yall ever listen to TOOL? Lol
@@jarredsegal6842 🤙✌️thank you I enjoyed that.
Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Love watching reactors get all philosophical and introspective listening to Time.
Very well said. Thought I'd something more to say!
@EXIT FROM NWO Not at all. You'll dig it when 10yrs have got behind you.
it really is!
@EXIT FROM NWO Even tho I agree wit u I still have to do it. Whoosh!
@EXIT FROM NWO You're entitled to your opinion, while ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.
When the song shifts to "Home again" it gets me emotional every time. That is the most beautiful transition to an ending of a song, ever.
Agree. This is a timeless masterpiece. Never ages, contrary to the title.
The song is called 'Breathe Reprise', 'home again..' is just part of the lyrics. But i agree, the transition is phenomenal.
It hits a little closer to home than it did a few decades ago.
Actually the third verse of “Breathe “ which I’d why it’s called “Breathe Reprise “.
I never get bored of this song
truly timeless (pun intended)
who can get bored wuth pink floyd? one time you like Pink Floyd you never can forget
Me too 😊
Brad gets this. The bells are the start of life, the heart is the beginning, everything else is the journey through life. Ending with the funeral ritual (the tolling of the iron bells) which awaits us all. The softly spoken magic spell is the prayers we say for those gone.
damn....ive listened to this song, jammed this song, too many times to keep a count. I never really could piece together the whole song ....and reading your interpretation made me slap my forehead lol.
Thank you for this explanation!!
Also Great Gig in The Sky playing right after this song is nice detail, because Great Gig is song about death
a clock and a heart aren't all that different after all
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TYPE THIS AND READ YOUR REPLY. EXACTLY SPOT ON. BUT THEY ENDED IT TOO SOON
When I was younger this was just a kick ass jamb. As I get older, this song becomes almost prophetic as in the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed, another blink, 20 more, and so on and so on. Great tune, thanks!
O H !!!
@@dsmvr4 I O !!!
It's still kick ass and always will. It's timeless.
I never thought I’d see 20. Class of ‘81.
Yes! I can’t love this comment enough.
Remember no computers no digital recordings. All blood sweat and tears.
How the hell does Lex instantly 'get' the meaning of so many songs? She nailed this one at the first break.
She is intune with emotions I think. I reckon anyone can get any song, person, place or even life if they become aware and feel
Lex’s facial expression is literally where good music takes us all.
Thats no lie
So true
Also, guitars dream that one day David Gilmore will play them.
It's even better when etched across a face like hers 😍
I listened to these lyrics as a teenager: "ten years have got behind you, No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun". As I am now closer to 60 years of age then 50, these lyrics are more relevant than ever.
I thought the same thing! 60 soon for me to..
Crazy how fast time goes. I was 5 in 1972, my mom played Floyd,the Stones,Janis and a lot of other good music but I was too young to appreciate the lyrics. 😎
Whenever I hear this I think about where the last 62 years went and what did I really accomplish? But I have no regrets.
So true time waits for no one
Confirmed.😥
This song is sooo good.
I believe the "softly spoken magic spell" is prayer.
Prayer/Religion. Agreed.
@@ravenmasters2467at your funeral
It is. That entire last verse was depicting a funeral.
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
A phrase from the burial service in the Book of Common Prayer: 'we therefore commit this body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.
One of the greatest guitar solos of all time
100% agree. 100%
Comfortably Numb
I have said this a 1000 times, in order to fully appreciate The Dark Side of the Moon you really have to listen the whole album from to back non-stop.
Especially with the wizard of oz....and weed....and alcohol.......and hallucinogenics....and ....and ....and......
Tthe whole Album MUST be listened to in the dark, in solitude, with headphones, and without pausing and then you WILL be in a TRANCE...haha
@Scumbag - oh yes. They should definitely review Wish you were here and Shine On you Crazy Diamond.
I have heard all these songs forever. In my face. They are all over classic rock radio. But I never really listened.
It took the Flaming Lips to cover the entire album before I succumbed to the greatness of the artistry.
Makes no sense, but it is what it is.
True.... for all Pink Floyd albums
The “softly spoken magic spell” is people praying at a funeral - each verse is different part of life - youth, middle age, old age/death
It's not a funeral - the bell knells and the faithful respond by showing up for the mass/service, kneeling and listening to the hushed tones of the priest's religious incantations/ magic spells - each verse is not dealing specifically with distinct stages.
@@cahillgreg yes the mass is a funeral mass. I think the lyrics are pretty obvious that it’s about different stages of life.
@@cahillgreg Then why is the next song "The Great Gig in the Sky"?
@@tjmctube because they went to heaven??
IMHO I don't think it's a funeral just because this line is at the end of the song, neither a moral thing about society, but personally it could be more like when a person has lost everything in his life after years of a nonsense life and now he's on his knees to pray and something magical or some new kind of spiritual feeling happens to him. Something has to change for him. And Home again, when at the end of a personal journey you come back to your heart, to feel where you are feeling cold but better in some way.
This song cannot be listened to alone. Dark Side of the Moon demands you play the entire album in one run. Preferably in the dark with the best speakers you can afford.
Lazarium
The Wall, very much the same way.
Absolutely, the PF concept albums are made as a whole experience with more than lyrical themes spanning the songs. Man I freaking love Floyd and my dad for raising me on them
exactly
on acid
"I feel like I'm inside a clock...now, I'm in a heart." perfect interpretation of this song and life.
now imagine being 16 and eating mushrooms while you listened to this album. I still have PTSD from those clocks going off lmao
Listen to this again in 25 years! It's kind of a punch in the gut after 50. We all come to terms with our own mortality. Timeless classic Floyd!
Indeed ! It is almost comical how in my teens I clearly missed the references to our impending doom, and now at 57 every reference slaps me up side my head....lol.......and yet, I still LOVE this song !!!!!
Tell me about it I turn 55 on the 20th Dec.
I just turned 51 and I am no where close to coming to terms with my mortality. It freaks me out to be honest.
dont know if i will ever get to terms with it
@@judithrunyon186 me too, 51 last Oct, time is definitely the enemy of humankind, especially if you feel like you've so much more to give or you feel you've wasted so much time just letting the grass grow beneath your feet!
The Dark Side of the Moon is among the most critically acclaimed records in history, best selling albums of all time One of the most influential album ever as well. One of the most reacted song on RUclips. I’m happy you guys came out from underneath that rock 🪨
I beieve Dark Side of the Moon still holds the record for most weeks on the Billboard Top 200 at something like 900+ weeks. Just insane. In my opinion it's the best and most iconic piece of music in rock history.
@@paulb4604 Sonically, I believe it's the best. It's got it all.
@@WhiteDevil-du8ne And best composed album in my opinion. Listening to just one song from it never does it justice.
Greatest album of all time !!
I first heard it when it was released and l’m still listening to it today nearly 50 years later
Fun fact: the tempo of this song is 60bpm, just like a ticking clock.
Or the avg heartbeat
@C1E5 dude if you subdivide it differently it might just aswell be 61 or 122 and so it also might aswell be 60. not all record players spin/spun at exactly the same speed. they just made a song.. chances are they didnt compose it with sheet music beforehand. its not what they usually do in rock music.
@C1E5 each tick is a second on the clock so how would it be more than 80 bpm that would be more than 80 seconds per minute which would make no sense
@C1E5 I didn’t mean the clock in the song I meant a normal clock. I do know that the original commenter was wrong because the clock is the song is much faster.
@C1E5 all good, just a misunderstanding.
One of the greatest albums ever produced. Floyd is one of the few bands not to allow singles to be down loaded because their songs generally run together and are meant to be heard at album length.
This Album from start to finish is Epic. In fact "Darkside of the Moon" stayed on the Billboard Charts for a stunning 14 continuous years and did not fall during that period.
Actually, it was listed in the Billboard top 200 albums charts for 958 consecutive weeks or over 18 years.
Pretty sure it was longer than that.
The best PF album is the wall but also has some weak songs. Dark side is the most consistent (animals and machine are also consistent but this one more complete)
"This is a full sensory experience song." And THAT, dear lady, is the essence of Pink Floyd.👍❤
this album is why at 14 i started building an audiophile grade sound system
10:40 It just hit me that the “softly spoken magic spell” might be in reference to funeral service.
I feel that every single album Pink Floyd has ever done needs to be listened to in its entirety start to finish. i believe that was the way these were made back in the day. a story, you are embarking on a journey. same as Queen with day at the races and Night at the opera. musical geniuses at work here kids!!!!
Dont forget Tommy by The Who ..
This album is really one you want to listen to from start to finish - everything blends so beautifully together. Just an incredible album.
Once you read the lyrics and listen to Us and Them, you’ll see the world in different and better way, forever
Was just about to type the same thing lol
agreed, anyone track on it's own is amazing, but the woven tapestry of the entire album is...very special.
Indeed you should not listen to only one song and think you get it..
It's an absolute must listen when you've taking some good mushrooms
You got it guys .Makes me crazy when reactors miss or talk through the ten years and closer to the grave lines. You got it. I'm 84 now and the time is racing by like a fucking ferrari
Hang in there, baby! You've got the whole rest of your life ahead of you!
(I know; a lot of snot nose talk from some 63-year old punk)
I hear you brother
You made me laugh,,,,👍👍👍🤣
Just be grateful you no longer have to listen to Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson ;-)
Congratulations on making it for so long!
Simply one of the greatest guitar solos EVER....
The album is a masterpiece. It is best when played in it's entirety. I've been listening to it for about 50 years now, and it has never becone dull.
The whole album is a basically "the human experience" . No matter where you're from, the color of your skin, your age...
This is why it's known as not just "music" but a work of art.
Great art too. Pink Floyd is best when listening to an album in it's entirety since songs run together, concept albums and such..
Money!
I was 31, having dropped out of college 10 years earlier. Adrift. I listened to this song at my mom's house. For me it was so true. I went back to college, graduated, went on and got my PhD, and just retired after 32 years of university mathematics teaching. And here I am, adrift again. But smiling this time, even though I hear the approaching falls I must go over. After all, they were always there.
Your comment made me smile, congratulations on your career :)
@@eliamielsolisceron7155 👍🏾 Thank you.
Love that last sentence.
Bro if you know enough about math to teach at a university, you already have one foot out of this world. I really think guys like you exist in a slightly different and considerably larger dimension than I do. Math is utterly mind blowing but you really have to have an aptitude for it. I know just enough to be awed by it.
inspiring stuff
This song is so close to me, especially now. I'm 43 now, been addicted to pills for several years and currently going through detox. All those years wasted, literally and metaphorically, and we only have so much time on this planet. Simply on a musical level, fantastic 👏
Hang in there brother. Simplify your life to 1 minute at a time when you are feeling overwhelmed. It can be done. I was an alcoholic and addicted to cocaine. Been clean since 1995. I sometimes need to remember to keep it simple. I can't, He can, I think I'll let him. Good luck on your journey. God bless and keep you always.
@@kennethohnemus3192 such kind words. X
Been happily married for 30 years, WHAT where the hell did 30 years go, and when my children grow into adults, and how the hell did I become a grandma, just yesterday I was ratting my hair to the sky, aqua net hair spray, putting spandex on, going to every concert. Hold on tight the roller coaster goes downhill faster everyday.
Btw, I love my life❤
The look on Lex’s face when the guitar solo started…priceless.
and Brad moving crazy like he was listening to a complete different song
@@paulolapa3040 yeah, this guy is dense at best. He doesn’t understand lyrics for shit
@@tidentrue let's be real, we're all here for lex
@@tidentrue they are different people. The first time I played Pink Floyd for my family my little cousin was like this is kinda scary cause we played welcome to the machine. Also he was like 11. He got super into Floyd and years later we jam hard to Floyd.
"I feel like I'm inside a clock......now I'm in a heart."
You're right where you're supposed to be Brad.
One of Pink Floyd's finest compositions, in my view. Lyrics are relatable, profound and tell a great story. Melody and musicianship is top tier PF, and then the background singers provide the "slide" or the "bridges" that pull it all together. Oh, and the incredible guitar work of David. Freakin. Gilmour. Oh, man!! "They took me to church!"
Pink Floyd were so far ahead of their time, They transcended into a higher plane of existence when they created their songs, I've never heard anything quite like them before, simply iconic and hard to replicate. Every Pink Floyd song I listen too makes me feel like I'm having an out of body experience, the music simply takes hold of me.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. I was raised on Pink Floyd, my Dad would play a different album at high volume every morning to wake me up for school and we would have endless deep conversations and discussions about the lyrics and about life in general. Those times are the greatest memories I have and I cherish them deeply, even more so now that my Dad has passed away. This song really hit's the nail on the head and then drives it home, never take anything for granted. Experience every moment of life and hold it close because one day it WILL all be gone and the next adventure will begin.
Beautiful
He must have been quite the guy. This band is one of the only bands that will be with me for life.
Beautiful comment that moved me to tears. My dad is 85 and has dementia and can no longer recall the shared moments listening to Alan Parsons, Pink Floyd and Steely Dan. I'll always have the music and the memories though.
I was 24 when this song came out - 48 years ago. I'm now 72 and this song really hits home, but now it's no longer the melody and harmony, it's the words... yes 48 years of my life has gone by since I first heard it. And, I'm like where did they go?
Ditto my friend,ditto!
like me !!!
I hear you
@@radbarij Well the answer to how they "got it" when they were so young is LSD and other powerful hallucinogens. Great insight comes with high doses but it does come with a fee and they were taking a lot through these years.
Yes I too was 24 & 48 years on at 72 just wonder where those years have evaporated ???
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way." Never more clearly seen than right now. Pink Floyd is still the soul of our nation. Your reaction was so beautiful I subscribed. Roger Waters' is going through cancel hell at the moment, at his age! Seeing his music move people like this 40 years on must give him such strength. God Bless you both. xxx
Absolutely perfect description of where this country is at, except this time there will be no hanging on, we are in big trouble.
55 Years Old- This is so fun to watch ! 60's 70's 80's the best decades of Music
"And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death"
Now they are what you call lyrics.
"The sun is the same, in a relative way" is so pithy.
That's Roger Waters for you.
I’ve been listening to this song for four decades now and I have to admit that it gets me teary every time I hear it. Where has life gone over these 48 years?
I hear ya. I’ll be 59 this year. The months go by so quick
@@bennymartinez5532 it’s too bad we don’t realize how it will work when we’re young and have time.
Same
I feel the same way, now that im 50 this song has a whole different meaning to me. I realize today how much time flies. You go to bed one night you're 25 and you wake up the next morning you're 50. And you realize you wasted a lot of time running after the sun and you're exhausted!
@@spartuz71 amen brother. When I was 18 this was a good song but now that I’m 48 it’s One that can break me down if I’m in the right mood.
"Full sensory Song" absolutely true. one of the most thought provoking introspective songs. thank you for reacting to this one and so many of the other ones you two do, love
I love watching people react to PF....I live vicariously through them as I wish I could hear it for the first time again. Lex's reaction at 4:40 is awesome...that part of the song made me so emotional when I first heard it. The guitar solo has such emotion (pain, existential longing, perseverance, loss, ect...)
Lex closing her eyes, swaying and smiling... Is exactly what happens to me when David Gilmore plays the guitar.
PREACH!
Definitely in her happy place….😎👍
David Gilmore is one of those few guitarists where I know it's him within a couple of seconds.
Its not about how many notes you can play, its about making each one count.
That moment she went from bouncing and rocking to closing her eyes, leaning back and swaying was awesome to watch and I remember that feeling the first time Pink Floyd grasped my soul. So happy younger generations are experiencing it too.
The guitar solo in this is one of the greatest of all time. The sound, the feel, the soul...it is truly epic.
I agree, David Gilmour sucks...the breath out of you and breathes back magic and wonder.
I think its the best solo of all time
I'm a huge PF fan and this is my favorite song amoung many. Love the dark themes and the solo is just God-tier emotion.
check out mike Maldanado's skate part in the video "jump off a building". Thats how i first heard this song and it goes great with the video.
Legend has it that if you give David Gilmour a cheap ukulele, he will make it sound like a Stradivarius.
I envy anyone that gets to listen to this for the first time. Mind. Blown. Always.
Lex you feel the emotions. Brad you here the words. Good combo.
This song has what is arguably the greatest guitar solo of all time.
Yes....that solo has everything in it.
The solo is like a spiritual experience.
Pink floyd made a perfect song that works forever. Its the perpetual motion machine of songs
This came out when I was about 13 or 14 and the lyrics have haunted me my whole life as another and another and another tens years have got behind me.
It becomes much deeper,when you consider that when these guys wrote this track,they were only in their late twenties,age wise!(David Gilmour is now 76 .I bet this really resonates for him now!)
I love watching young people get anxious listening to this song, impatiently awaiting some pay-off, and not getting the irony.
Don't get me wrong i love comfortably numb its one of the best songs ever, but songs like time, mother and welcome to the machine just hit so hard. The lyrics are insanely powerful. I was lucky to witness them live on a reunion tour and it was an experience I'll never forget.
Comfortably numb it's overrated man.
The future seems so far away, you blink, your future is behind you. Time is so precious.
Story of my life. “You missed the starting gun” grabs me every time, even 30 years after first listening. The music itself is Powerful
Pink Floyd is a journey! A total vibe! Put your headphones on, turn the lights off, and just enjoy! They never disappoint. Listen to Shine on you crazy diamond next. It’s a masterpiece!
COMPLETELY AGREE...AND THEN DARKSIDE OF THE MOON AFTER THAT
As your local congressman, I too support this decision
Parts 1-9! Wish you were here is a great album! My favorite to be exact. Don't know if you guys smoke..... But really light a J, and just pink Floyd out on wish you were here.
@@jamellelangfordiii3586 wish you were here is possibly my favorite too. Amazing album brother
Love this song
Some of the best percussions in history.
Once you’ve really listened to Pink Floyd you’re hooked for life, the music just infiltrates your soul. These guys have always been cutting edge in their music and lyrics. Once they tried making an album without using instruments, spent months trying it, it didn’t work but just the tenacity and daring to even attempt, they really are pure musical genius.
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" I've often thought that's one of the most perceptive observations of being English I've heard. Speaks to something right at the bedrock of our culture, of our national character.
It’s very relevant now too
But Thoreau coined the phrase "quiet desperation", and he was American... ;)
And sadly it's what made brexit happen, dragging the irish, welsh and scots along often against their will.
At about 3:25 Lex: “Maybe that’s what it’s like when you die… TIMES UP! “
Yep, pretty much the whole point of the song and you got it before the first verse was even done.
I thought I was the only one that noticed!!! that was epic!
She really is intuitive
I laughed, and said "Don't skip ahead, Lex!"
I can remember when i was 17 and now I'm 57. Song makes you think of the time you lost and you will never get it back.
"Thought I'd something more to say". Every epitaph ever.
Syd Barrett when he was sane, taught the band that being simplistic but meaningful was the way. Pink floyd never goes past those barriers, everything very simple to understand and everything has meaning. Great analysis, very spot on
Simple, not simplistic. Why you have to overcomplicate?
@@TillyOrifice why did it bother you so much, that you had to come her and say that?
@@StevenLeeStudios Come who?
@@TillyOrifice here* I missed one letter in a word, and somehow you are confused. Helped you out.
@@StevenLeeStudios Well, thank you very much!
Always felt the part that starts with ‘home, home again’ was an older person’s perspective of their life-just being cold and tired.
And the part about ‘calls the faithful to their knee’ to hear the softly spoken magic spell’ was them praying for their soul because they feel death coming soon. Like time just got away from them….
I've always thought sort of the same thing, but maybe with a bit of a twist. There's this sort of rural England thing going on in this verse: a house in the cold and rainy countryside with a fireplace...there is a church nearby across the field that the country folk go to worship when the bell tolls. Here's the thing: isn't it interesting that the narrator isn't at the church...he hears the bell from across the field, he knows people go to church, they hear prayers, but he's not there. He's at home by the fireplace. Perhaps there are two ways to use YOUR time on Earth to comtemplate your mortality: in church with others under the "spell" of the pastor, or, at home, by yourself by the fireplace, watching the fire die.
Y’all described this song in the perfect way, I’ve always felt related to this song. Even as a child, it was always deep and sucked me in.
The guitar solo is like a runaway freight train that comes off the tracks and then gets shot into space and then gracefully lands on another planet.
My dad gave me this album when I was 8 . I still have it . As I get older the lyrics mean so much more . Headphones on and just kick back and remember me and my dad listening to it tears me up . Great memories
When i was younger i thought Pink Floyd sucked. I didnt think they were heavy enough and their songs were slow and long. However, now i feel what they were doing and why it was important.
gawd I wish my dad listened to this, would have changed our relationship.
The tolling of the iron bell draws to the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spell.
This is a funeral service. This is why the next song on the album is called “The Great Gig in the Sky”.
also Christian peoples were called to prayer each evening when the church bell would ring typically at 6pm
@@MrJohnisthename That is not universally a Christian thing... I've NEVER heard of any Christian practice that called for prayer at 6pm every day. It's just not logical or practical.
@@ffjsb Perhaps you should read more. "tolling bell, faithful to their knees and spoken magic spell" means calling, kneeling and prayer. and since when has religion ever been logical or practical?
@@GivnoFyux444 Funeral homes don't have fires... That would be a crematory... not to mention he SPECIFICALLY mentioned that he's at HOME.
@@ffjsb The iron bell is tolling across the field from home. The softly spoken magic spells are prayers.
One minute i can listen to this and get lost. Another i can cry.. beautiful made song
Got to be one of if not thee most legendary band in history. Nothing quite like them. They play music that just enters your soul and dances with it. Deep, melodic, meaningful and simply played with such skill and aplomb. And one of the great bands that are even better live. Soul music to steal a term for them. Its just pink floyd music in a genre of their own. I love listening to floyd when I need to feel something that awakens my deeper senses and calms me with melodic guitar excellence. David Gilmorton has to be a top 3 guitar player ever simply for the smooth soulful sound he creates. I love it
One thing you guys will learn about Pink Floyd. You never just “listen”to their songs, you “experience” them. And the more you listen, the better it gets.
The more you listen The more you learn
These guys wrote this album in there 20s. They were beyond there years.
To answer your question about the “softly spoken magic spell” one verse earlier it talked about the ringing on the iron bell that calls the faithful to their knees it’s talking about church and the end of life and the song slowing down drives the feeling of death.
I think belief in an afterlife is the “softly spoken magic spell." It can deprive people of any urgency to get things done. The opposite of YOLO.
@@chuckwilliams6261 It's a funeral, anyone who doesn't believe in the afterlife would call prayers magic spells.
The far away, across the field always made me picture a cemetery, as they would be in a field near a church
Agree it is about the funeral requiem and the church bell tolling for the person who has died.
This sets up the listener for the NEXT song which IS about DEATH...it is called "The Great Gig In The Sky". You need to react to that next!!!
It felt like being in school was a curse....10 years later you know it was a blessing. Time.
"They took me to church" - Lex your quotes are timeless!
I love it when Lex gets so excited by a guitar solo!!
Haha marry this woman
Yeah for sure: I just wish both these peeps were around in Uk 1994 at Earls Court to go see Pulse. That, was amazing.
My dad's all time favorite song, hits hard seeing him listen to it again and again as he gets older. This album is definitely one that should be listened through 1st track to last as that's how it was meant to be taken in.
Your certificate of purity is in the mail (-;
can you imagine listening to this in 1978 at 14 years old and realizing then what is being talked about then being 58 and realizing it happened a lot faster than the blink of an eye
I always thought the end of the song as an out-of-body experience, where you witness your own funeral at some distance, as your soul drifts off to whereever souls go ...
Time is a song that ages with you. I first heard it in the 70’s as a very young boy, when I heard it in my teens the meaning changed, when I heard it in my 20’s it changed, when I heard it in my 30’s IT REALLY CHANGED and so on and so on. The song just gets deeper and deeper the older you get.
I'm 35 now, and it already frightens and motivates me to make the most of my life. When I first listened to Pink Floyd as a kid, I loved the music but didn't really get the deeper meanings until I got a bit older. I honestly don't know if I'm looking forward to how this song will hit me as I get even older, because it already has such a huge relevance to me even now.
If only we'd known from the start
We're to soon old and to late smart
Time is gone And life I depart
With Regrets and longing from a broken heart
When you have done most of the songs on this album, you have to sit back and listen to the whole album. A whole new Trip
This song should be taught in high schools. As music, poetry and a cautionary tale to kids.
"No one told me when to run..."
Thank you for bringing this song to the attention of your viewers......this is one of the ultimate classic rock classics, EVER!
"Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee"
That last ethereal line recalls this timeless idiomatic phrase about death.
Great job!!
Lex's face during the guitar solo was so lovely! You're both right, the song is relatable, it's deep and a bit scary like a lot of Floyd. The guitar solo is pure emotion in this song and the gospel style backing singers really add to the vibe.
I imagine that the "softly spoken magic spell" is someone's prayers-his way of describing it
I love Pink Floyd. Their music is so unique.
What Lex is doing is exactly what this album is meant for. Closing your eyes, receding into yourself, and just living in it.
Never tire of hearing this. Listen to the whole album in a dark room through headphones. Greatest album of all time. Been listening for almost 5 decades.
Yeah I am 67 years old and this song describes it perfectly
That blues jazz groove is one of my favorite things I've ever heard.
Hold on kids....this is late 60's early 70's music......truly, it was a magical time to be on the planet.....you just had to been there....
Yup, Bloody brilliant time then came mortgages, soccer moms, the GFC and digging yerself into that grave.
if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...Pink Floyd saved my life in my teenage years. Truly powerful sounds and words they have provided me almost my entire life.
softly spoken magic spell is nostalgia
Listened to this countless. Yet my hairs stood up with goosebumps. Calls the faithful to their knees...
The whole album has a heartbeat theme. If you think about it, a heart is a clock. A lot of people say Comfortably Numb is David Gilmore’s best work, but I’ve always thought Time was his masterpiece, followed closely by Money.
