- Another great track from Pink Floyd. I honestly think this one may be my favourite so far. One thing we always know with Pink Floyd is that all of their music tells as story, even if it doesn't have that many words. Here's my first time hearing Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Makes me feel like we're passing the torch of our sacred music to a new generation. Incredible.
I love how you said that. Absolutely no better feeling than watching someone fall step by step, deep and hard for rock n roll.
I have been watching a bunch of MollyBoy's videos and I do think that we are passing the torch.
that’s the best part of floyd to me, whether you’re a baby boomer, millennial or a gen x or gen y, once you hear it there’s no denying that they made some of if not THE best music of all time
What an accurate description!
me too
You don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it.
Pink Floyd *happens* to you...
...and you're always better for it.
Oh so very very true !!!!!!❤
Watching younger people getting turned on to Floyd makes me wish I could go back and hear it for the first time all over again. But on the other hand, I’ve heard these songs so many times that they just feel like and old friend come to call. Breathtaking, is it not?
Word!!!
This song was written for Syd Barrett, one of original band members that they had to leave behind due to drug problems and mental problems. They never forgot him and this shows that. Not only were these guys musical geniuses but their lyrics are always pretty deep. Longtime PF fan here and glad to see you enjoy and grow in great music. Great review, always like seeing the faces of the younger generations when they hear this band and especially this masterpiece of a song! Looking forward to next review!
🫶🥲🎶❤️
There were rumors that Syd actually showed up while they were recording this song
Everything that Pink Floyd has done is genius.
@@keiththompson8922I'm not sure it was this particular song, the way I heard it Syd came to the studio when they were recording and guys didn't recognize him at first, he was basically a shell of the man he used to be, his eyes were hollow as black holes which shocked them the most among other changes. They were shocked and wrote this song dedicated to him.
@@user-pm3wk6lw6mthat’s the story I heard on an interview with David Gilmour. “You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond”
…the lyrics pretty much summed up Syd’s state of mind when he left the band, and didn’t improve after he left. He took to painting apparently
This song is a musical eulogy for a lost bandmate. Not dead, just lost. Acid mostly.
Yeah man you get it now. One does not just listen to Pink Floyd, one experiences Pink Floyd.
Never apologize for getting lost in the vibe and taken away by Pink Floyd. That is exactly what us Floyd fans come for and hope to see. You are discovering that time loses all meaning when listening to Pink Floyd. Whether 10, 15, or 20 minutes, Floyd will take you on a musical journey and leave you a little disoriented but oh so satisfied at the end.
Suggest "Dogs" from their 'Animals' album next. All 17+ minutes of it.
Good job!! 👍👍
This song was written years after the song’s subject, their original singer, lost his mind due to Schizophrenia and lots of LSD. He went home and lived with his parents, significantly disabled, for many decades to come until he died. The craziest thing is, he randomly turned up at the studio, years after anyone had seen him, confused, weird and almost unrecognisable - literally while they were recording this song about him…. Talk about a mindfuck
Thats TRIPPY as eff!!!
@lisacoleman6928 There's even a creepy photo of Syd, bald, fat and without eyebrows looking into the studio where the band was recording this. Poor guy. 😪 I don't care for his era of the band. Js.
David Gilmore doesn't just play guitar, he somehow manages to put his very heart and sould and lifes blood into his performance. This whole album was a tribute to their early bandmate Syd Barret who succombed to the pressures of stardom and drugs to become completely detached from reality. Strangly enough he showed up in studio while they were recording and none of his bandmates recognized him for a while until he started asking where his guitar was.
It’s such a pleasure to watch someone get “ into” Pink Floyd and even more so when they seem so “ tuned in “ that instrumentals “ speak” to them ….I’m afraid there is no hope for you now …we’ve got you …
And another Floydian is born.
My grandchildren love this! And LedZeppelin, Stones CCR and more.
I love Pink Floyd's long intros. They're masters at setting a mood before hitting you with the lyrics. Some people don't enjoy the suspense. You gotta just lay back and let this one wash over you. It's nice to see a young person such as yourself appreciating Pink Floyd. 🤘🏽💗
I completely agree, their music is more of an experience
Plus it gave you plenty of time to pack a bowl and pass it around!
A masterpiece. This is HALF the song. There are still parts VI through IX 😀
The bluesy part in 6-9 is my fave. Reminds me of the bluesy part in Echoes.
almost all Pink Floyd songs take you on a journey, and almost all of them tell a story without words, David Gilmours guitar alone grabs your soul and tries to talk to it, its one of the things I love the most about their music, its so full of expression even when theres no words
I honestly think David's guitar playing in this song is his best. There is so much feel in it
Yeah, Dave doesn't waste a note!
It’s DEFINITELY Rick’s best work. The subtlety is exquisite.
Those of us ‘of a certain age’ grew up with patience and attentiveness that is sadly missing in many of today’s youth. We listened…we relaxed…we waited. The spaces are just as important as the fill. Kind of ‘Zen-like’ without even knowing it. I’m glad you enjoyed it. This and Dark Side are my two fave albums.
It’s part of your British heritage, my man!
This song will take you places- make you hear colors-without drugs
Everything about Pink Floyd is genius. Music, lyrics, album concepts, concerts, singing, album covers, etc, etc. So glad you enjoy them. Great reaction!
Couldn't agree more!
When they were good, they were breathtakingly good. But they also released alot of shit.
Sorry but . . . you haven't heard your favorite Pink Floyd song yet. It's ALWAYS . . . the next song.
Dude, there is nothing boring about watching someone enjoy great music. I was just as lost in it as you and I've heard the song countless times in my life. Great reaction, Man✌
Hah, we used to sit in the small room painted black with black lights. That's where we would enjoy people enjoying new music 😅. Bring a new tape, throw it on. Then we chill and listen to the entire thing in one sitting.
But since that activity is dead and gone (who listens to a whole album nowadays?) this is the next best thing!
@@Mhantrax For my part, this is the best way to listen to and appreciate Pink Floyd's music.
In a dark room with headphones so you don't miss anything.
An hour of Pink Floyd replaces almost 4 hours of sleep. Ha, ha, ha.
Dude, listening to the whole record to me is the best way to do it still to this day. To me, it gives you a little look into the artist's head. They arrange the song order in the way they, perhaps, envisioned it when they created it. But you are right, no one has the patience to sit through a whole album anymore. It's a shame really ✌
@@Mhantrax
Saw 'em in a small venue with Sid..blown away with the light show & the sounds..must've been the acid I'd taken ..am 83 years old..still loving it all. 60s were MAGIC !!
I'm so jealous, loved Syd, but being Welsh took my fair share of shrooms in my teens! 🤣
The 70’s weren’t bad either! ☮💟🎶🥀
I think that's the first time since the internet became a thing that I EVER read that some random person saw Syd perform in person. You have truly witnessed history.
I love this song, I'm 53 and in my teens I freaking LOVED Syd Barrett so this song always gets me as it's about him, the whole story of his mental heath is so heart-breaking, I love that they wrote this song for their friend, it shows so much love and respect.
I should add, I was lucky enough to go to art college in the 80's when it was free, I'm a working class council estate kid so wouldn't be able to do that today, I studied painting and in my first year exhibition I did a painting called Welcome to the Machine based on the song from the same album as this song, Wish You Were Here, based on growing up in a Welsh slate mining town, so this song always pulls on my heart strings, it's great to watch you appreciating this amazing music btw.
They did love Syd. They made sure he was taken care of throughout his life!
This song live at Pulse is purely a multimedia masterpiece.
Great reaction! Enjoyed watching your interest grow! Parts 6-9 are also amazing! Arguably even better
I feel I am in the spaceship travelling to the universe when I listen to the Pink Floyd.
You've experienced the beautiful feeling when music takes you on a journey to new worlds in your mind.
PINK FLOYD does that to EVERYONE!!! ❤❤ I wouldn't call it boring - I'd call it enjoying the depth of the music, talent, and lyrics of a phenomenal band...as many will say: Pink Floyd is not to be listened to: it's to be EXPERIENCED!! GREAT REACTION! CHEERS!
Probably the most iconic 4 notes in guitar history.
Dark room, Floyd in your earphones, spliff, glass of scrumpy.... HEAVEN xxx
I’m 50 and my father bought this album on its release as I was just a toddler.
As soon as I was reliable enough to play it on my own, I played it over and over, and I must have heard it hundreds if not thousands of times, knowing it by heart, every note of every instrument, even every scratch on the LP.
My father has passed since, decades ago. The original LP was lost or stolen at my mother‘s, but I’ve had digital versions of it.
And still, each time I listen to it (maybe once a week, maybe more), goosebumps and tears.
I the 70's, MSU would Play Pink Floyd at the Planetarium. Groovy way to listen to Pink Floyd.
That sounds 👌.
Sitting in our parked cars ( because gas was too expensive) but with a great stereo system, maybe a joint or two . Bliss . This was how we spent many happy hours as kids in the seventies, just loving the sound and being so happy with the experience ☮️
Wait until you hear parts VI-IX. They're even better, IMO.
Dude....this was me and my wife's wedding music we had playing while signing the register...that's how much it means to us.❤
People of Exquisite Taste, you two!
I *knew* I liked you both so much for a good reason! ;)
My friend, listening to Pink Floyd is never a boring one. Welcome to Floyd nation, I think you get it. Cheers!
Im 63 and have heard this song several times but it still just pulls you in every single time! Im so happy you younger generation are discovering " our " music! Now i hope you can understand how we think most of today's music sucks? Its not music! Its all computerized and they are not musicians at all. Great reactions ❤❤❤
God, I love Pink Floyd. This is the thing about rock n roll. It brings you to emotions you never knew you had or even knew existed. When I really need to feel I go to Pink Floyd..
I really love Pink Floyd's Young Lust. Def has an edgier feel.
The masters of painting sonic pictures. Everything is intentional and perfectly placed. Every song is a piece of art.
This always bring tears to my eyes, my crazy diamond was my dad, who introduced me to all of this. First gig was Pink Floyd animals at Battersea .
Pink Floyd demands long attention spans. Like many of their contemporaries they delve into Classical and Jazz formats and merge them with rock and blues. This entire album is an example. Nice reaction :)
My absolute favorite Pink Floyd song.
Great to see younger people enjoy these oldies just like we did back then
Deeper and deeper the Pink Floyd rabbit hole goes, I'm really enjoying following you on your journey my friend, 🙂 God Bless
Looking forward to pts 6-9, which I personally think are just a skosh better. All of it is beautiful, though. Pink Floyd never fails. 🤘🏽💗
Every Pink Floyd song will be your new favorite😊
Thanks so much for reacting to this one. Just want to say before I watch that there is a second part to this: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX)" You definitely would want to listen to that one if you like this one.
Welcome my son, Welcome to the machine!
Looks like we have a nother Pink Floyd fan.👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
I used to wake up to this every morning! It makes a great intro to the day if you have a timer on your sound system!! Put the kettle on when the key changes at the beginning (8.00), and when the tempo changes (15.00) it's time to finish coffee and get moving!!
I believe this song is in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest rock ‘n’ roll song before the first word is spoken.
Funnily, I never notice no human voices until they arrive, and I'm like, "Ahh, right then..."
Still, even nearly five decades later, it's still a surprise. Every damn time.
Feel so lucky to have grown up when Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Genesis, Deep Purple etc were making new music and I was able to take it onboard. Always taking on new stuff eg The Police, Dire straits, Sex Pistols, as each decade progresses. Pearl Jam, INXS .... you can see the pattern. Never let the good stuff go, so by now I have a HUGE musical collection, but I think the music of my teens as a special place
I can't believe you got to experience Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond AND Metallica - Orion the same day.
That's like winning a lottery jackpot.
Another great instrumental by Pink Floyd is Marooned.
This has always been my favorite!!
Never ever gets old
Damn what a tune ❤❤❤
Love it soo much
The most iconic 4 notes in rock history.
I told you you would love this tribute to Syd.
Great reaction to one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs, so glad you enjoyed it too
Wish You Were Here is my favourite Pink Floyd album. Every song on it is famous. And SOYCD is, in my opinion, one of the best things ever recorded. It's often written that it was dedicated directly to Syd Barrett, but all the members deny it. Roger Waters says in an interview that it was inspired by the story of their friend and founder of Pink Floyd.
I don't know if anyone has written this before, but I must mention a well-known story connected to this recording: when Pink Floyd recorded this track at Abbey Road studios in London on June 5, 1975, Syd Barrett had not been with them for over seven years. In the middle of the recording, a chubby, balding, eyebrowless guy appeared in the studio, wearing canvas pants and a tank top and holding a plastic bag. At first no one paid him any attention, but after a while David Gilmour says: "For God's sake, do you know who that is?". No one recognized him. "It's Syd!" He's changed so much in that time (to give you an idea - Syd used to be an incredibly handsome dashing and vital young man). Everyone was taken aback and couldn't believe it. They exchanged just a few sentences and then he left without saying goodbye. Roger and David burst into tears.
Here on TH-cam are some videos in which they remember Syd (not only Pink Floyd). It's interesting to watch them just to get an idea of what a great musician, performer, composer and musical experimenter he was. It's speculation, of course, but in reality he may have been a megastar...
"Shine On.." is absolutely written about Syd. It is "Wish You Were Here" the song that Roger denies was written specifically about Syd although just about everyone assumes it was.
Shine on is for Syd, you can guess it by the initials of Shine on You crazy Diamond, it makes SYD if you add the initials.
But i think it was Wish you were here that wasn’t about Syd barrett even if a lot of people think so
Listening in slack-jawed wonder is a perfectly appropriate way to react to Pink Floyd!
Just one thing to say my friend you are listening to Pink Floyd the greatest progressive rock band ever to exist in the world.
I was aged 15 when 'Wish You Here' came out and I couldn't get to the record shop quick enough. Also, it was the first album I'd heard in headphones and I can't think of anything better to hear in cans, it blew me away! And another thing - I heard about its release through hearsay and not like todays multi-media hype
Me too I was fifteen years old
I've really enjoyed your Pink Floyd reactions so far, i've been listening to Floyd for about 45 years now. Us Floydians' are a big family and we like nothing more than to watch other people, young and old, discover, in my opinion, the best band ever. You're digging a bit deeper now, and i hope you realise this is a one way ticket😉 it's onwards and upwards from here with so much more great music to listen to and enjoy. Another great reaction✌
I have always found this number to be breathtaking ….. shivers down the spine stuff.
Try 'Run like hell' from the Pulse concert. The beginning is special with David making such great guitar sounds, and then the violent ending. Such a great song. My friend told me 'you are very patient' when listening to Floyd. You have to be-they give you such incredible stories and sounds and the buildups in the beginning, their solos, their long and drawn out songs ARE what make them so special.
Seen Floyd many times over the decades and its always a treat. I just hate that so many reactors who are now experiencing the music of these bands dont really have a shot to see them anymore. If they do come around tickets will not be cheap for these bands. Anyway, that is the album cover for Wish You Were Here, they have 2 versions ofthe cover. I have them both on vinyl.
I've just stumbled on your channel. I get a real buzz out of watching youngsters react to Floyd, the band I grew up listening to. Most are positive and for good reason, they understand the musical and lyrical quality entering their brain and soul. I see from your reaction that you get it man. Get on board the Floyd train, it's so good for the soul. Good luck with your channel amigo. 🌻🙏
Dave Gilmour is one of the all time greatest guitarists
Seen Floyd about a dozen times and they never let you down
When I listen to this song... so do my neighbors... without complaint.
Songs like this made them my top favorite band .... since I was a child in 1968.
I'm 60 now and still consider them my band
I was born in 1960, so i heard all these great songs when they came out, your first time reactions brings me back and is fun to watch, now seeing you not want to comment during the song is normal and the thing to do, the music is so good, to stop and commment is unbalansing the rythm of the song, it's great that now youre reacting at the end, I enjoy watching your face reactions during the songs, and some comments without stopping, yes, 70's music is the best, enjoy.
Loved your reaction. I felt the same way when my cousin had me listen to this back in 1975. Been addicted to Floyd ever since. The greatest band ever.
I truly love this album.
It is emotional to me. I know the story about Syd.
Pink Floyd the cerebral poets of rock ‘n’ roll
Listen to the whole Pulse Concert live performances.....you will be utterly blown away!!
The band that launched a million trips. Peace ✌️
Don't think in terms of "introduction " and verses and such. This is a rock symphony in movements. Each section is meant to be equally significant as part of the larger work. And this song is part of the larger cohesive work of "Wish You Were Here."
Also, I'm a new subscriber and I'd love to see you react to "The Great Gig In The Sky" from the Pulse concert. I enjoy your reactions. Don't let the assholes and dumbasses get to you. It's your damn channel.
One thing about PF is they're never in a rush. They like to take their time.
Pink Floyd's music creates an atmosphere to lose yourself in. Lots of nice layers and build up. I would lay back in my bean bag share with my head phones and travel. I feel so luck to have grown up with this music. If you do more research, you find that this song is about their founding band mate Syd Barrett that did too many drugs and had a mental break. Check out "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne" as very early songs.
Candy Dufler the sax girl!
I've heard this song 100 times and i never new it was in parts...
You feel this song in your heart, your chest tightens and you get absolutely immersed and lost! Epic!! 💋
Pink Floyd is an album experience. You should listen from beginning to end.
I just found your channel and your reaction to my favorite Pink Floyd song ever was so satisfying. Watching you take the journey with the song was like hearing it for the first time all over again. Who needs lyrics with that guitar? And when the lyrics do begin, oh my. What a wonderful tribute to Syd.
You make a old Floydian of over 50 yrs smile& make me happy, Bravo 👏👏👏🥰
This song is about Syd Barrett Pink Floyd's first singer and leader.
this is only half of the song. it comes at the beginning of the album. the other half comes at the end of the album. i love this album.
Although you are a young boy, I see that you understand the universal beauty of this song. So 10/10 for your reaction! Just like that!
If you like david gilmours guitar sound, listen to dogs off the animals record. Another masterpiece.
You will never find music like this again .. ever ❤
I'm 68, and I listen to Pink Floyd every day still. Headphones on...at full volume. I am so happy to see a young man discover their music.! You need to watch the live albums...then you'll be totally blown away!
Here in the US we called Pink Floyd and similar bands "Acid Rock".
The clap at the end…a small solitary round of applause in some small corner of England as poignant as the roar of the crowd in Wembley. Keep going bro. Been following since your first tool reaction.
Great that the younger generation are getting into this type of classical rock music, where artist were given time by the music industry execs to express themselves. Much better than the dross of today, where music has to deliver the hook in less than a minute and the song lasting no more than three. Pink Floyd are fantastic, but only one of a multitude of amazing band from the sixties and seventies.
Fantastic reaction.
Welcome to The world of Pink Floyd.
Keep Rockin'🎸

If you really want to watch a movie/music video while hearing this song, watch Pink Floyd Pulse - Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Pulse is a live album and was recorded on video. Every song in that concert has a little movie playing in the background of the performance. The entire concert is nothing less of epic
Someone asked me if I was allowed to listen to one song only for the rest of my life...which one would it be? Here is the answer...."Shine on you crazy diamond" it speaks to my soul and takes me to another planet...every time!
The entire album, Wish You Were Here, is good. Among my favorite Pink Floyd songs are "Welcome to the Machine", "Have a Cigar", "Wish You Were Here". Enjoy!
Welcome to the real world of music. Remember-they did most of it also live. No sampling or advanced electronics etc......pure music done right. Will stay with you through your life.
Pink Floyd were the first band I got into at the age of 10 bck when Dark Side was released (1973) It gives me great pleasure to see someone like you getting into the same music and having a broad enough mind to embrace old but brilliant music such as this. Nice one
My favourite album written in honour of Syd. Just an aside the man on fire on the cover was actually set on fire as no computers in 1975. Represents being burned by the music industry. Keep up the good work
Now it's on to Parts VI - IX... Part VIII is just over 2 minutes of the best Floyd you'll ever hear. Incredibly funky and just awesome to groove to.
No problem letting it play. It's that kind of song. It's a credit to you. You have a great attention span. ••• Thanks! PEACH!!!
Parts 1-5 open the album Wish You Were Here. Parts 6-9 close it out. Pink Floyd always released albums meant to be consumed as a whole and not track by track. Each album tells a story.
