There’s a reason the Dark Side of the Moon album was on the billboard album charts for as long as it was (950 weeks). It is best when listened to as a whole.
@@simonsteamyhead5738 yep but don't watch The Wall while tripping, it will send you to some bad places lol. My favorite is Fearless, it sets a comfortable vibe for the rest of the trip
here we go again, someone saying u need to listen to the whole album to appreciate it. why, please tell me why, why i need to listen to the whole album to appreciate it. looks like they just listening to the Money and are really appreciate it. and this idiot, telling people Best listened to on a whole load of Acid. do not listen to this idiot telling people to use Acid. people are just stupid.
You really need to treat Amber to " Shine on You Crazy Diamond" (studio version) or "Comfortably Numb" Live Pulse concert, 1994. Talk about taking you on a trip!. Just don't forget to come back when it's over. The pulse concert has arguably the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. You have heard "Comfortably Numb" but you haven't experienced it til you do the Pulse version. Just don't pause the second solo, You'll hate yourself if you do. Love watching you guys get into the Floyd. Blessings!
@@pulsarlights2825 The point being is that Pink Floyd was referring to a Bible verse that is often misquoted, as it was in this song. Still a great song though.
The person behind all of the sound effects was a young Alan Parsons. He went on to form his own group, The Alan Parsons Project. You can even hear some of the same magic he infused Pink Floyd's music with when listening to his group. The APP song "Time" is very reminiscent of Pink Floyd's "Us and Them," and the APP song "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" has the same raw grit as PF's "Money," the subject of this reaction.
+1 for checking out some of The Alan Parsons Project. One obvious suggestion would be "Sirius/Eye In The Sky" as I suspect there will be an "I know this!" moment. "Games People Play" would also be a good intro to TAPP.
Not only Floyd, but Parsons was the assistant engineer on Abbey Road. I couldn't tell you how much influence he had on the album as assistant, but the man is genuis.
@@ffjsb funny you mentioned Jeff Lyne. I either mentioned him along with parsons somewhere else, or i forgot to include him in my post here. Absolutely correct, you are.
Dave Gilmour is a musical genius and lives just down the road to me. You cannot underestimate how powerful their music has been and continues to be now. Their music tells stories, asks questions, pushes against the norm. There is unlikely to ever be a band like them again. We are lucky to have been around when they were creating music.
Absolutely. Some people have told me I look like him,and several years ago,when I was slimmer than I am now,I was coming back from a long walk and a van pulled beside me and a guy got out,told me I looked like Dave Gilmour and took a selfie with me beside him! I was like,OK. I did get to see Pink Floyd play live at the old Wembley Stadium in 1988,when Roger Waters had left,then saw Roger Waters's touring of The Wall,at the O2 (Millennium Dome) in 2011.
Usually I discourage new reactions from live versions of any song because they'll miss the studio recording that we all first heard, however I have never heard Floyd not nail this song live, so agree!
Absolutely right, you don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it. Just like the intro to Time, it's such a classic intro using sounds. This song is probably their catchiest beat that gets stuck in your head. Love y'all's reactions to classics we "old" people grew up with.
Such a good song. Pink Floyd is so good. They were originally named The Tea Set, but someone went on stage ahead of them and used that name. Sid Barrett thought fast and mixed the names of 2 blues musicians he liked, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council and the name was born!
"You can't listen to Pink Floyd without headphones". My friends, wait until you hear Pink Floyd on a proper stereo system with speaker's placed 15 feet apart turned 15 degrees towards each other and you find the sweet spot in the room to listen. Your brain will melt. When this was recorded the sound engineers (sound engineering is a dying art because of how people consume music these days) knew exactly what they were doing. I know that a full stereo system might not be possible right now but sometime go into a stereo show room and ask for a display of the gear. It will blow your mind.
I listen on a Logitech Z-5500 (no longer made, but I've managed to collect 3 sets) and while it's not high-end gear it's very nice with the 5 satellite speakers arranged all around my computer desk with the thumping SW underneath.
@@Im-Jeff Try to find a CD version if you can. It was recorded using a technology called Q Sound. Q Sound combined with surround sound is very intense. You feel like people are in the room with you and sound effects in the music like T.V sets, horses, jet planes etc sound like they are three dimensional. Crazy stuff on that album. Enjoy.
It's awesome that even the younger generation totally gets what Pink Floyd is about. I 100% agree with you guys. It's such a joy to watch you two expand your musical vocabulary. 🥰
Pink Floyd was on ABC's national newscast tonight, they are getting back together for a one off song in support of Ukraine. I hope this is true and David and Roger can get along and do something they can be be proud of and will do some tangible good for the brave people of Ukraine. Just another reason to love Pink Floyd. 🎵🇷🇼
They are diametrically opposed, and for good reason. However, David always comes together when something is important in the world - he is such a good dude.
@@jbjacobs9514 Agreed. Such a great dude. David auctioned off his guitar collection for 21 million dollars and gave it all to charity to fight climate change. I'm Team Gilmour all the way.
This song takes me back to the summer of 1973 and listening to this song at my parents back yard blaring through my 8 track stereo, and my Mom saying how she loved this song. I have never forgotten that bright sunny day. My Mom was cool. Thanks for great memories Jay and Amber.
I remember listening to Dark Side of the Moon in summer of '73 for the first time a few weeks after h.s. graduation, with a few friends in the photo studio in one of their houses. It was their Dad's and had a quad system (remember those?). We all sat in the middle of the room, lights out, and started the album. The heart beats went around the room in opposite directions. We were flipping out. When it got to the sax solo in Money, I almost lost it. As a sax player myself, I thought it was awesome. Later played this song with a band I was in with members of my former h.s. jazz band. Good times!!!
I still have mine, and listen to it often.......Braun speakers, Yamaha amp.......Sennheiser headphones bought it all in the early 70s. Yamaha turntable, Teac reel to reel, CD and Ipod input.....
Pink Floyd was the first rock band to use a custom made four channel surround sound speaker system live in concert at Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1967. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth_Co-ordinator
Boy oh boy, do I remember that! I still have my Marantz speakers! I set them up outside for the horses to hear great relaxing tunes! I also used them for the sound when I projected the series The Fall of the Cabal on the side of the barn for the last two summers! I'm a red-pill MF!! Lol!
@@gabrielvanhelsing8214 Bwahaha! Well, Crow1 I must be an old one because I still have some set up in the living room! Only music in there. TV for movie watching is downstairs!
Favorite band and album of all time. You guys are representing Floyd like no other reaction channel. I have a request while we're on the psychedelic ride. Can we possibly look into "Low Spark Of High Healed Boys" by Traffic. Stevie Winwood is on vocals while Jim Gordon does an amazing job behind the kit. Thank you so much for all that you do to keep classic rock alive and kicking!
Yes. I had the traffic and had that song on it. I didn't have headphone luxury back in 60s 70s. But had my turntable and volume control. Lo.. More traffic please. And some more ELP.. a new one for me is kaleo. Out since around 2013. Where the heck have I been. Anything is amazing.
I truly love how you both really enjoy and learn from these great bands from my era. And Amber is so amazing as she seems to just become a part of the music. You two bring much joy to this old man's soul. May God continue to shower blessings over you.
RON AND AMBER -Love your guys reactions, especially to Pink Floyd.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond will make you drift across the universe without leaving your chair. It’s instrumental for the first 6-7 minutes before vocals come in. But such a wonderful mind trip. Studio version because there are so many wonderful sounds to hear. My favorite in this song is the tinkling of glass wind chimes. The song is about a band member that lost it after drug use
4.7.22. I can’t help but notice how deep into The Floyd , Amber is‼️ when this first came out we were high on weed, and reacted the same as you two! It’s a tribute that you aren’t stoned, but are into the music like we were/are🎸
Now you can go back and listen all the way as the Upbeat Tempo of Money, turn into a Melancholy Sax Intro to "Us And Them", just so Many Great Sax Solos on this Masterpiece Album.
"Dark Side of the Moon" was the album that my best friend and I would put on in his bedroom, crank up the quadraphonic system (yes, I'm THAT old), turn out the lights and play on repeat until the neighbors made his parents tell us to 'knock it off'. I think we wore out two or three copies in under two years. This was how we "tripped" through our teen years. We didn't need chemicals. We had Pink Floyd. I think this album, and "Money" more than anything else, was what got me into playing bass guitar for the last 35 years.
yep - same here money was the best to listen to on a quad system - the cash registers zooming around the room thankfully the quadraphonic system never died - nowadays, they call it - "surround sound"...
@@jonniiinferno9098 I have the SACD 5.1 mix, and also a "burnt" DVD Audio Quadraphonic from the master tapes. I had the Quad LP, but gave it to my son kind of accidentally instead of a remastered stereo version. Oh well.
The guitar solo 🎸 on “ Comfortably Numb” live from “ Pulse” is beyond epic and transcends mere “ guitar playing” and becomes something else. You guys just have to try it, please!
When stereo first came out, artists were excited to record in such a way that if you closed your eyes, you could visualize exactly where each artist was standing. So, when you hear an instrument in say the right ear then that artist was on the left side of the stage. This was intended for the listener to imagine they were at a concert and could picture all the artists arrayed across the stage. I hope this makes sense.
true as long as your speakers were in phase, one of the best song that shows off stereo was when John Lennon was singing in a day in the life and his voice from right over your head to left and back again.
Fun fact: the time signature change to 4/4 at the start of Gilmour’s solo was added because the song has such crazy time measures 7/4… writing a solo in 4/4 was preferred
I be been listening to this song for 50 yrs. Even though it brings on new meaning each time I listen, oh, What I would pay to hear it for the first again. You go…
Simply the greatest album of all time by one of the best groups of all time Pink Floyd albums should be heard in there entirety Especially Dark side of the moon
Guys. I love these reactions! That said as you get through these albums, do yourself a huge favor, get the albums and listen to them in their entirety the way it was intended. Headphones on and enjoy!
Yeeees, their albums are 100% single works of art. The Wall, Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here. These aren't just collections of singles they are unique and profound journeys ! Gotta listen to them in there entirety to truly appreciate them ...
The voices at the end are a collection of responses to questions that the band asked people while they were recording. The questions for this part were "When was the last time you were violent?" and "Were you in the right?". The use of these questions in a song about the excesses of wealth is not a coincidence.
Alan Parsons was the engineer on this album and those background voices were his work. They're throughout the album, with laughs and statements at various unexpected places.
This song is an eargasm and the sax provides a horngasm. I’ve loved Pink Floyd and this album for close to 50 years. I always smile when any song from Dark Side of the Moon comes to my ears.
As of 1993 Pink Floyd's 'Dark side of the Moon' album, from which Money is taken, had set a record for most consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 Album Charts at 740 Weeks. I don't know if it kept going or not, but that is impressive. We are talking about 14 years on the chart
As close as I can get, Dark Side has appeared on the Billboard magazine album chart for over 960 weeks in total and has racked up more than 45 million copies sold worldwide.
If you recall in the another brick in the wall video. When the teacher is criticizing him for his poems, the lines are actually from this song! Absolute fire! 🔥
I have never been a big Pink Floyd fan. But, loved this song back in the day. It wasn’t a hundred percent contemporary, but I was thrilled as a kid to know there could be a song called “Money” by Pink Floyd while there was also a hit song called “Money, Money, Money” by the O’Jays. Have you played the O’Jays yet? Usta Be My Girl is awwwwsome!
the peak of power for Roger Waters (bass,vocals & main song writer) & David Gilmour (guitar,vocals & song writer)....I like many of the albums after the departure of Roger but I still believe all their very best albums were when they were a team!!
‘Money’ as always been one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. A trippy tune who’s message still resonates to this day. Another one of my favorite Floyd songs is ‘Learning to Fly’ which came out in the 80’s. Check it out if you haven’t already. ‘Run Like Hell’ is another favorite of mine.
Thank you for this!!! Been waiting so long... Now you have to give us "Us And Them"... slooow sexy saxx! BTW, Jay, cool SRV shirt! Maybe give us some "Tin Pan Alley" ... blues the way it's supposed to be sung! Take care...
I saw them in concert in 1977, during their "Animals Tour". When I'm asked what was my favorite concert of all time. I have to say "Pink Floyd" without a doubt.
the best concert that I was ever at was Pink Floyd at Roosevelt Stadium in 1976. They played the entire new 'Wish You Were Here' album, then played the entire 'Dark Side Of The Moon'.
This song never gets old, and how apt is it even today? Pink Floyd was one of the smartest and wickedly talented groups that has no equal. Many of their songs are fit to be national anthems.
the breakdown is my favorite part of this song. you can hear each instrument distinctly. they did the same on the previous album in the song "echoes". i hope you get into some pre-darkside of the moon pink floyd soon. their whole career was an evolution,and hearing some of the early stuff makes you appreciate the later years even more.
'New car, caviar, four star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team' is the "poem" that the teacher was mocking the boy about in Another Brick in the Wall video...
Pink Floyd's new tribute to Ukraine, Hey, Hey, Rise Up ft. Ukrainian Andriy Khlyvnyuk was released on their RUclips channel 5 hours ago. Should definitely be the next reaction.
.i love how Amber melts when the sax solo starts. I also love people’s reaction to PF when they hear their music. It truly is an experience and not just a song. There are many bands I enjoy but none move me like PF does.
When this was a radio hit in the mid-seventies, I was a kid and this song was considered risqué because of a bad word that they always bleeped out: "shit." This was in a time when people didn't even normally say pee or poop like they do today but had to find ways to talk around those kinds of topics without actually naming them, especially if they had strict parents like mine who might whack you, so the main thing I still think of when I think of this song is that one word, even more than the important subject matter of the song.

They gotta watch the live Pulse version. It’s so easy to get lost with that performance of the song
The ultimate psychedelic trip!
Shine on for sure , definitely one of their best. That and their Animals album
Definitely the long version of Comfortably Numb live from the 1994 Pulse tour!
Why not do both?
The way the sax solo goes into a guitar solo is insane, the creativity was off the charts with this song and this whole album
Loggins and Messina with “Move On” have a great guitar to sax transitions too.
Note that the sax has to solo over the 7/8 time signature, while the guitar solo is a straight 4/4 meter. Kind of a cruel stunt on the sax player.
Best part of the song
It's the LOVE OF MONEY that is the root of all evil...so use it to bless people and do good with it.😊 That sax solo was GREAT!
So you are saying there would be no evil if not for the existence of money/currency?
@@pulsarlights2825 the love of it, not money itself.

I keep waiting for her to reach over and do a bong hit! LOL
Classic of classics! Musical masterminds make for a masterpiece! Loved seeing Amber swoon to the sax!
Best solo ever is Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb live from Pulse Concert 1994. You will not regret it!

"Dark Side of the Moon" was the album that my best friend and I would put on in his bedroom, crank up the quadraphonic system (yes, I'm THAT old), turn out the lights and play on repeat until the neighbors made his parents tell us to 'knock it off'. I think we wore out two or three copies in under two years. This was how we "tripped" through our teen years. We didn't need chemicals. We had Pink Floyd. I think this album, and "Money" more than anything else, was what got me into playing bass guitar for the last 35 years.
yep - same here
money was the best to listen to on a quad system -
the cash registers zooming around the room
thankfully the quadraphonic system never died -
nowadays, they call it - "surround sound"...
@@jonniiinferno9098 I have the SACD 5.1 mix, and also a "burnt" DVD Audio Quadraphonic from the master tapes. I had the Quad LP, but gave it to my son kind of accidentally instead of a remastered stereo version. Oh well.
@@GeoffCB - he's your son, ask if you can "borrow" it 😜
Hilarious
This album and Red Headed Stranger are the two albums I've had to replace more than any other in my big ass collection
Dark Side of the Moon was somewhere on the top 100 album chart for 20 years because you're not in a league of your own.
The guitar solo 🎸 on “ Comfortably Numb” live from “ Pulse” is beyond epic and transcends mere “ guitar playing” and becomes something else. You guys just have to try it, please!
When stereo first came out, artists were excited to record in such a way that if you closed your eyes, you could visualize exactly where each artist was standing. So, when you hear an instrument in say the right ear then that artist was on the left side of the stage. This was intended for the listener to imagine they were at a concert and could picture all the artists arrayed across the stage. I hope this makes sense.
true as long as your speakers were in phase, one of the best song that shows off stereo was when John Lennon was singing in a day in the life and his voice from right over your head to left and back again.
One of the greatest songs EVER on our planet.
EAZY And its from the 70s Amber
Fun fact: the time signature change to 4/4 at the start of Gilmour’s solo was added because the song has such crazy time measures 7/4… writing a solo in 4/4 was preferred
And that switch back from 4/4 to 7/4 is just SO smooth!
I watched a documentary on Dark Side and Gilmour was like, I'm not soloing in 7. The transition to 4 is great.
And I thought Tull had crazy time signatures! 😯
Devo's "Jocko Homo" also switches from 7:4 to 4:4.
Yeah and the poor sax player had to solo in 7/4.
I can't remember how many times I have bought this album since I first heard it in 1973
I be been listening to this song for 50 yrs. Even though it brings on new meaning each time I listen, oh, What I would pay to hear it for the first again.
You go…
I feel you my brother but the second best thing is watching Amber react to it and remembering how it was the first time we heard it!!!
About the most famous and accessible song written in 7/4 time, ever! And yeah, to two Gilmour solos are out of this world.
Simply the greatest album of all time by one of the best groups of all time
Pink Floyd albums should be heard in there entirety
Especially Dark side of the moon
You can see the sheer joy on Amber's face every time she listens to Pink Floyd. Another great video guys. Thanks.
Amber you would have loved being a 70s BRAT LOL I sure did
Cash register sound! Their music is an experience!
Guys. I love these reactions! That said as you get through these albums, do yourself a huge favor, get the albums and listen to them in their entirety the way it was intended. Headphones on and enjoy!
Yeeees, their albums are 100% single works of art. The Wall, Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here. These aren't just collections of singles they are unique and profound journeys ! Gotta listen to them in there entirety to truly appreciate them ...
Good advice. And watch the movie "The Wall" too.
David Gilmour on that lead guitar and Roger Waters on Bass is just totally amazing.
The voices at the end are a collection of responses to questions that the band asked people while they were recording. The questions for this part were "When was the last time you were violent?" and "Were you in the right?". The use of these questions in a song about the excesses of wealth is not a coincidence.
supposably paul mccartney was there but his answers were not considered interesting enough to include in the song,
Alan Parsons was the engineer on this album and those background voices were his work. They're throughout the album, with laughs and statements at various unexpected places.
@@hifijohn I think it's Linda McCartney saying; "..... Cruisin' for a bruisin.'" I might be wrong.
This song is an eargasm and the sax provides a horngasm. I’ve loved Pink Floyd and this album for close to 50 years. I always smile when any song from Dark Side of the Moon comes to my ears.
70s Pink The Best PINK F
As of 1993 Pink Floyd's 'Dark side of the Moon' album, from which Money is taken, had set a record for most consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 Album Charts at 740 Weeks. I don't know if it kept going or not, but that is impressive. We are talking about 14 years on the chart
As close as I can get, Dark Side has appeared on the Billboard magazine album chart for over 960 weeks in total and has racked up more than 45 million copies sold worldwide.
B4ETTER THAN THRILLER 70s Gold DSOTM
The time signature change between the sax solo and the guitar solo melts my face from my skull every time. I have to put my head back together.
If you love the saxophone on this you should check out “Us and Them”
For sure! Piano, saxophone, the best!
@@karenmikalofsky5287 us and them is one of my favorite pieces along with Money, Mother, Comfortably Numb and Brain Damage
THIS is why the 70s Are the best decade of great music ,,
Such great original bass lines in Pink Floyd's music (along with everything else...)
Their "Us And Them" is next for you!! A calm song about war, but has 2 Saxophone solos!!
Love it!
Pink Floyd takes you over mind, body, and soul. You can't help but shake, shiver, and sway.
Me and my mates sitting around listening to this over 40 years ago in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 BOOOOOOOM. Great times.
I love your reactions to Pink Floyd. You can always tell Amber is FEELING it. That's exactly how it should be when listening
More Pink Floyd!!!! YESSSS
What next? Us and Them, run Like hell, High Hopes? Something else?
@@chriso6719 I want some Momentary lapse of reason like "One Slip" or "On The Turning Away"
@@chriso6719 Yes!!!
If you recall in the another brick in the wall video. When the teacher is criticizing him for his poems, the lines are actually from this song! Absolute fire! 🔥
This was a big one in the day. It was my first listen into Pink Floyd. They exploded after this album.
I love to watch Amber lose herself in the music. She feels music like this with a passion that is a joy to see. You are definitely an old soul Amber.
Love this reaction.
The difference between you two is Jay appreciates the music but Amber experiences it.Keep up the great work
This is what you call 70s Money ,,,,
Hear It thousands of times over the years and It's still amazing music ! Never gets old ever !
You got to check out Pink Floyd TIME listen to the lyrics very carefully
I have never been a big Pink Floyd fan. But, loved this song back in the day. It wasn’t a hundred percent contemporary, but I was thrilled as a kid to know there could be a song called “Money” by Pink Floyd while there was also a hit song called “Money, Money, Money” by the O’Jays.
Have you played the O’Jays yet? Usta Be My Girl is awwwwsome!
the peak of power for Roger Waters (bass,vocals & main song writer) & David Gilmour (guitar,vocals & song writer)....I like many of the albums after the departure of Roger but I still believe all their very best albums were when they were a team!!
Back in the day my friends and I would sit around, get high, and listen to Pink Floyd for hours.
One of these days from the pulse concert is an instrumental with David Gilmore on the steel guitar is amazing to experience. Amber will love it 😀
‘Money’ as always been one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. A trippy tune who’s message still resonates to this day. Another one of my favorite Floyd songs is ‘Learning to Fly’ which came out in the 80’s. Check it out if you haven’t already. ‘Run Like Hell’ is another favorite of mine.
Thank you for this!!! Been waiting so long... Now you have to give us "Us And Them"... slooow sexy saxx!
BTW, Jay, cool SRV shirt! Maybe give us some "Tin Pan Alley" ... blues the way it's supposed to be sung!
Take care...
I used to sit in front of the stereo, close my eyes, and try to identify the various sounds coming out of the two speakers! It was awesome!
This bands music just gets better as the decades pass !
thought the same
Great song. Nice having the lyrics in the black box. Well done.
Check out One of These Days from Floyd, it’s a trip for sure. It’s weird, melodic, chaotic, frightening, psychedelic and it rocks…..it’s Floyd.🤘🏻🔥🎧
Great underrated Floyd song. And Meddle is an underrated album. Fearless is one of my favorites by them.
Thanks. I love Pink Floyd 👍🏿💋💐👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I saw them in concert in 1977, during their "Animals Tour". When I'm asked what was my favorite concert of all time. I have to say "Pink Floyd" without a doubt.
I was there, In Philadelphia
@@caroleann_2142 Louisville, KY
the best concert that I was ever at was Pink Floyd at Roosevelt Stadium in 1976. They played the entire new 'Wish You Were Here' album, then played the entire 'Dark Side Of The Moon'.
70s Gold 4 sure
If you want a track of theirs that rocks a bit, try "Young Lust" from The Wall. It sounds different then alot of their stuff, but in a good way.
Can't do Young Lust without including Empty Spaces. They are a package deal.
@@J.R.Steel85 can't do young lust and empty spaces without the rest of the album
@@antonioiniguez1615 touchè
Definitely different and such a classic
This song never gets old, and how apt is it even today? Pink Floyd was one of the smartest and wickedly talented groups that has no equal. Many of their songs are fit to be national anthems.
the breakdown is my favorite part of this song. you can hear each instrument distinctly. they did the same on the previous album in the song "echoes". i hope you get into some pre-darkside of the moon pink floyd soon. their whole career was an evolution,and hearing some of the early stuff makes you appreciate the later years even more.
I love Pink Floyd....Us and them...another good one. 💗 Y'all .
3:08 - Amber, your insight is just spot-on! You've grown so much musically over the last few months. Kickin' it!
'New car, caviar, four star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team' is the "poem" that the teacher was mocking the boy about in Another Brick in the Wall video...
God! You MUST do "Great Gig In The Sky" by Pink Floyd! Pleeeezzze! You won't regret it!
I cannot second this recommendation strongly enough. You will love, love, love this song.
Rob.i saw your wife melt when the sax kicked in bro.i know she likes all the brass section.cool.im binge watching you right now.
Pink Floyd's new tribute to Ukraine, Hey, Hey, Rise Up ft. Ukrainian Andriy Khlyvnyuk was released on their RUclips channel 5 hours ago. Should definitely be the next reaction.
.i love how Amber melts when the sax solo starts. I also love people’s reaction to PF when they hear their music. It truly is an experience and not just a song. There are many bands I enjoy but none move me like PF does.
When this was a radio hit in the mid-seventies, I was a kid and this song was considered risqué because of a bad word that they always bleeped out: "shit." This was in a time when people didn't even normally say pee or poop like they do today but had to find ways to talk around those kinds of topics without actually naming them, especially if they had strict parents like mine who might whack you, so the main thing I still think of when I think of this song is that one word, even more than the important subject matter of the song.
I truly LOVE IT every time you listen to my favorite band!! 💜🌸💜🌸💜
A friend told me that he played this vinyl record so much that he literally wore the grooves down and had to purchase it again a few years later.
David Gilmour solos are like being in a magic carpet flying around in the clouds. The best thing ever
Love the jazz sax!
One of my favorites! More Pink Floyd!
Great tune
