I bought this album in 1973, I was 20! I laid on my bedroom floor and listened to it through my headphones, it's a cliché but it blew my mind!!! A couple of days later I got a couple of friends round, we all laid on the floor and listened to it from start to finish oh I don't know 3-4 times!! Absolutely amazing, mind blowing!! I still occasionally lay on the floor in a darkened room with a glass of something interesting and I'm 20 years old again but unfortunately I am 68!!! How the hell did that happen!!😟😟🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm 64, and in 1975, I used to do the same thing, laid on the floor, closed eyes, and listened the whole album....let the music an lyrics come inside - As I became older, I understood the depth and the truth of the lyrics - What is awesome is not that it was written 50 years ago, but the fact that it was written by very young men 😮
I am 65 now, and have enjoyed the music of Pink Floyd for 47 years. The first Pink Floyd album I ever heard was *_Wish You Were Here_* , in 1975, at a schoolmate's house. I liked it so much (especially *_Shine On You, Crazy Diamond_* ) that I started looking for more Pink Floyd music in record stores. On my first visits to these music stores I discovered albums like *_The Dark Side Of The Moon_* , *_Ummagumma_* , *_A Saucerful of Secrets_* , and *_Obscured By Clouds_* . It took me longer to get their debut album, *_The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn_* , since it had been released, in 1967, that is 8 years before my discovery, and a year before David Gilmour joined the band. I had to get the US and UK version of this album, because some tracks are different. In my musical firmament, full of stars, 2 masterpieces shine like suns: *_Stairway To Heaven_* by Led Zeppelin, and *_Time_* by Pink Floyd.
My wife did volunteer work at Humboldt Juvenile Hall to get a degree in Social Welfare... She was a favorite among inmates by putting Pink Floyd's Time on in the morning...
Looking back now, at 70yrs old, I can tell you to enjoy every moment, including the ones that are now getting on your nerves. Like the kids playing up, when you're all going out somewhere. They are all moments that will slip away, and before you realise, the kids have all grown up and left to start their own families. Good review. I'm glad you are really listening to the lyrics.
"...the type of person you'll become..." I try to live my life with the thought, "no regrets." If I hadn't done what I'd done then, I wouldn't be who I am today, for better or worse. (better, I hope!!) Pink Floyd didn't speak to you back then, but, now, 50-years on, you find them speaking your language. I've always believed, that just like love, if we keep ourselves open to the possibilities, great music will find us...or, we it.
It's funny you mention the effect of this 48-year old album! I've checked several sites and it still sells eight to ten thousand copies a week!! That I believe is called Longevity!!! Actually don't regret not listening to them when you were growing up at all count yourself lucky instead! Those of us who have been listening to them for years know what you have ahead of you, a nearly bottomless rabbit hole of brilliant music! Really the Mozart / Beethoven of the twentieth century!!!
"Time" is....well...er...timeless! It's about being human and what we all experience. At least those of us who make it long enough to enjoy a long life. Roger wrote this in his late twenties, and it was at that age I too realized how fast life was slipping by. It scared me badly back then!!!
Mate, couldnt have put it better myself. Im 51 now, and still gaining a whole lot more respect for the Floyd. I was a latecomer to them as well, and my journey with them has been priceless, and thats coming from a huge reggae fan.
Today I stumbled into your channel because I love “anything Pink Floyd” ever since I heard The Dark Side of the Moon back in my college years. I was born and raised in Chile so, at the time, my proficiency in the English language was precarious, to say the least. Thus, it was the unusually soothing music that led me to it. As I learnt the language I started to pay attention to the lyrics. I found out that most of the rock songs I loved were irrelevant, chimerical, some even revolting. Even Prog Rock was, mostly, mythical and ethereal. There’s one thing you said that made me stop what I was doing and write this: “This guy REALLY got it!” I shouted. Pink Floyd’s did lots of skirmishes trying to find its North, so its true journey starts with The Dark Side -a sojourn inside a live man’s troubled mind (you can hear his heartbeat throughout the whole album). Wish you Were Here is a gripe against the music industry (biting the hand that feed them, if you will). Animals is the preamble -a depiction of Society: Sheep (flesh and labor), Pigs (wealth and power), and Dogs (keeping the sheep in line). Then the Epic: The Wall. Depicting the revival of fascism, racism, hate, and everything that we are seeing today, 46 years prior!
You and me both my friend, I heard of Floyd about 20 yrs ago and have listened to them “ I mean really listened to the lyrics” ever since ….as a band they are experienced…
Now you know why Dark Side Of The Moon is such an amazing album. Some incredible facts from Wikipedia, "It has continued to sporadically appear on the Billboard 200 since then, with the total at 958 weeks on the chart as of July 2021. "On a slow week" between 8,000 and 9,000 copies are sold. As of April 2013, the album had sold 9,502,000 copies in the US since 1991 when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard. One in every fourteen people in the US under the age of 50 is estimated to own, or to have owned, a copy. In 2013 industry sources suggested that worldwide sales of The Dark Side of the Moon totaled about 45 million. In 2013, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
My very first concert when I was 14 my brother took me to see Pink Floyd dark side of the moon at Saratoga preforming arts NY 1974. Put the Floyd hook in me for the rest of my life
You have absolutely got to listen to next cut after Time. Great Gig in the Sky. It is truly mind blowing. All the stages of death or dying from Anger or fighting it to final acceptance. No words but somehow gets right into your emotions.
great gig in the sky, high hopes, on the turning away, wish you were here, and so on and so on. You need to do react videos to much more of their stuff.
I'm 73 now, I saw Roger do DotMoon on his 65th B'Day in an outdoor venue. it didn't start until THE FULL MOON CLEARED THE HORIZON! Roger Waters Is A GOD!
The thing about Pink Floyd is every week or two my favorite song is different. I’ll hear something in one of their songs that hits me just right and that will be my favorite and so on.
Jeremy ! I am thrilled you are really getting into these guys. Really deep stuff ! I am 70 years old. I was brought up in New York. The 70s were my heyday ! I had the privilege to see these guys live 5 times . . . showcasing new albums, each time. I think you will really get into the ANIMALS album. It is a critique of society and its cruelties. Dogs, Sheep, Pigs are represented ! Sheep are all the followers in life. Dogs are the selfish and defensive business moguls and Pigs are the people in authority . . . governmental and otherwise. DEFINITELY worth a listen !
Ok here's the deal, I've been a fan since 1968, This is what you need to do, sit back relax and listen to "Dark side" uninterrupted. You will never view life the same way again!
Seems to me that anytime one hears a David Gilmour solo, you think "That's the best solo I ever heard! I have seen it said that He plugs his guitar into his soul instead of an amp. It has to be at least partially true to wring that much emotion out of a musical instrument. He is on a level all his own.
Creating beautiful music, whereby you’re turning emotions into something tangible that can felt as well as heard, is one of humanity’s greatest, most god-like achievements
Life will never allow you to do all you want. I found that after 21 life went way faster. I'm now 60, still a child. Five children, 4 boys and satans daughter. And a beautiful granddaughter. Try ELP's Tarkus from 1971, will blow your mind.
Great reaction, bro. And believe it or not , the experience gets better with "time" no problem with the pausing. us 70's dudes [ and chicks ] appreciate hearing your "reaction" .
way back in time........ March 1973 16 yr old teenager laying on a couch with headphones on........I was there when this album was released and i heard it for the first time all I could think was....... OMG ! ! !
The Beatles came to the USA for the first time, 9 years before this album was released. 9 year between 'We love you (yeah, yeah, yeah)' and this masterpiece. Let that sink in.
Yeah. My brother actually set up his speakers right next to my bed and woke me up to this when I was about 12. 🤣 One of these days I'll just grab my Bluetooth speaker and get him back.
I’m one of those people, lol. I live by Pink Floyd! They are the greatest. Love your reactions, would love to see more Pink Floyd reactions. It’s such a journey! David Gilmour and that guitar are absolutely mind blowing!! Nick Mason is very much showcased in this song as well. The whole band is just a masterpiece.
Great video man! So much power in this song! Another song On the turning away LIVE Pink floyd is AMAZING! BTW Love your content! The way you express yourself is awesome and keep going!
I'm 67 now. The sun has raced and come up behind me many times now. I am shorter of breath and much closer to death these days no doubt. This is the music I grew up with and enjoyed. Rock and Roll from the 60's and 70's was fantastic. There were many bands that had amazing influence on daily living with dynamic lyrics and guitar play like Floyd such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones and so many others. It was a magical musical time of creativity in music and lyrics which does not exist in todays musical artists and bands. But one thing I am sure of. Because of the infinite number of musical arrangements that can be made from 8 simple notes that we know as the scale, I believe that the greatest music ever composed hasn't even been created yet. I'm sure I will be dead and buried by that time. But I know it will be an amazing adventure for those young people who will be alive at that time. It certainly was for us back then.
I love that, unlike so many, you're not stuck in nostalgia, Con, and are able to envision that even greater music than when you were young is yet to be created! What a great attitude!
I'm with you... 🙌 ...And same age... I'll be 67 in August....And guess what... I've seen progress of that which you just spoke of....One palpable proof of that is Tool....If you're like me, and see music the way i do, and grasp at it as it goes the same way I do, I'm sure you've most likely heard a band like Tool...To me, they're like the Pink Floyd of the 21st Century...If another band like that comes along by the turn on the 22nd century, you're right, we're not gonna get to see that....But I'm happy at least we got to grow up with Pink Floyd, and witnessed the rise of a band like Tool....Life's good..😎
Hey Tom please continue to react to the rest of this album and Wish You Were Here Album. It's refreshing and heartwarming to see what appear real soulful responses to the music and attempting to understand the feel and thoughts behind the lyrics. Keep going man it does an old codgers heart good to see you. Don't be sad if you missed it all first time around, better late than never. Marty UK 66y.o and still getting that warm goose pimply feel from PFs vibes.
I grinned because of how wide your eyes flew open when the song started. I knew how you felt. The first time I listened to this album when I was a kid, I was laying in bed chilling and grooving. When "Time" started and that cacophony came out of my speakers, I bolted out of bed like my ass had been set on fire. It was so jarring and unexpected that it scared the crap out of me. Needless to say, we didn't have reaction-videos back then. Good thing. People would have been laughing their butts off at my reaction. Pink Floyd is not only loved for their music, the story-telling in many of their albums is also a huge part of why they are still so relevant today. When a band becomes loved by multiple generations, that speaks volumes about how powerful their music is.
The lyrics to this song are absolutely amazing! The text seems to have been written by an old, experienced and lifelong man, but the fantastic thing is that Waters was not even 30 years old at the time of writing. Pink Floyd's lyrics (mostly written by Waters) are really deep and border on philosophy. Combined with magical music, it's just perfect ... And yes - as you say - today's lyrics say nothing to anyone. "We love both" or "I love her but she doesn't me" or other nonsense. Today's music (and lyrics) just slides on the surface and only acts as a backdrop. Gone are the days when true MUSIC was formed and will never return. Too bad it's like that :-(. By the way, the song "Time" is followed by the song "The Great Gig in the Sky". Listen and you will be amazed! Clare Torry (accompanying singer) sang on the recommendation of sound engineer Alan Parsons. It's breathtaking and you will forget it! (Again, I recommend the studio version). And remember: it's never too late to listen to Pink Floyd ...
Yes! OMG Clare Torry - I actually had a dream about her - in my ridiculous dream, there were noises behind my walls, which I thought were trapped cats, and when I finally chopped a hole, and looked in, I was astounded and said to my husband "it's not a cat - it's Clare Torry" - I totally woke up laughing.... when I told a friend, he said "that must have been one very melodic cat!" - lol
What memories listening to this song brings back. In the late 70's a friend, Steve Lakebrink, had a New Year's Eve party at his parents' house. We planned to play this song at the stroke of midnight, with all the alarms going off as a way to start the New Year. We were all in our late teens, to early 20's at the time. Now listening to the song and Tom breakdown the lyrics it has a more powerful meaning to me. The passage of time from then to now has been transformational, as the lyrics tell the story. Getting out of college, eventually getting married, having a family, and now with grandchildren. Now I'm 65 and my friend Steve has been gone for about 25 years, leaving this earth much too early, But I am thinking of him now and miss his friendship. 🙏
My brother took me to this show when I was 5! Forever formed my view of music. Floyd is an experience like no other, not just musically but emotionally.
Haha! This song makes reactors so anxious because of the long intro. But Pink Floyd like to build up the music gradually. In a world of instant gratification, these moments are lost in art and music and under appreciated. One of the greatest bands ever!
Pink Floyd are simply GENIUS, have been a major part of my life for over 50 yrs since first playing them in my bedroom at 15, I have been in love with David Gilmour since then ❤
This is absolutely beautiful coming from a 19 year old makes me think how much more I have to experience and just finding out about the band now will definitely help me go on throughout life in a whole different point of view
The 70s' were a truly amazing decade for popular music hands down. And I would agree that having this kind of music to listen to growing up was a formative experience.
The LONG Lead-Ins set the mood, the Metronomic Beat relaxes you, then when you're all jellied out & open to suggestion, Roger Whispers MADNESS In Your Ears. WELCOME To THE Floyd.
I listened to this song a thousand times as a 17-18-20-25-30 year old. I think I heard it for the first at about 45, at which point this masterpiece will punch you in the gut.
For me, the lyrics builds perfectly to the line "thought I'd something more to say". At 54yrs old I'm very conscious of what I have and haven't done with that time - other than my kids and grandkids, what is my legacy....
The song tells you not to waste a moment of life. Your lifetime, in the great scheme of things, is very short and you don’t have time to wish, or dream; you gotta ‘do’.
Simply one of the greatest albums of all.Been listening for 40 years or so.Time never gets boring and just gets more relevant the older you get.David Gilmore doesn't use guitar leads he just plugs in directly to his soul.The whole album is a master piece..
This was one of the first albums I ever bought... love Pink Floyd. When I was growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's we were exposed to all this great music on the radio. Stations back then were not genre driven as much as they are today. The variety of music was amazing. Such good times and great memories.
And, what about the drummer!!!! ??? Nick Mason plays a major part of this track, to the fore. In my ears, PF would not be what they have been, had it not been for EACH ONE of them. In particular, Nick Mason. For 40 years, I have been hooked on his percussive effects as much as anything - as much as everything.
The way to listen to Dark Side of the Moon....turn down the lights, turn up the volume, sit back and listen from start to finish. Then try to figure out how you feel
My favourite PF song and best guitar solo of all time. And I've been listening to millions of hours of music since my mum took me to see ABBA in the mid 70s.
I graduated High School in '73, and it wasn't long before this band came to town. I spent eight bucks to go see them. The Dark Side concert was amazing. Light effects, sure. And quadraphonic sound. Three hours of mind-numbing and soul searing power. I've never been the same since. I never waste a day. Pink Floyd has a way of getting into the head. They'll take you on a ride. Try the album "Animals." Just lay down and let them carry you away.
One of the most profound songs ever written! It means something different to you with every passing year. This song grows in its power and comprehension as you grow older. It blew my mind as a teenager, and totally wrecks me at 60. If you don’t “get it” right now, I deeply suggest that you listen to it again and again until you DO get it. (You’ll thank me when you are 60’sh!)
With evry Song youll listen from Pink Floyd the more of Pink runs through your Veins! Their Music is a Gift to Mankind and especially to those who can go explore the depth of every Song❤
This song is the very definition of "pathos". I think everybody can remember where they were when they first heard this song. It stops you and enters you like none other. It has the quality of soothing you and yet causing you some discomfort at the same time and the guitar solo is the reflection of the words...beautiful yet with undeniable angst. Also it is a pleasure to realise that the last verse is in fact a reprise of the track called "Breathe" earlier on the album so wonderfullly and almost imperceptably does it segue from one to the other, something it has taken me forty years of listening to the album to realise. Silly me. If you are going to watch a live version don't expect Gilmour to be thrashing around like crazy. It is usually less a visual feast than an aural one. Thank you.
At the time the album was released the tune "Money" received the most attention. While it is another great Pink Floyd song, its kinda interesting how "Time" has taken the spotlight over the years.
It is amazing how a one-word song title “Time”) speaks volumes about the meaning of the song. David Gilmour’s guitar playing and lead vocals are incredible.

I heard the song first time when I was 15, feels like it was yesterday… I am 54 now!!!
I am so jealous of this man listening to this for the first time
My wife did volunteer work at Humboldt Juvenile Hall to get a degree in Social Welfare...

You’re not wrong, this is how Pink Floyd hits. Welcome to the journey. 😊

Time … about the time you have on the planet …. Don’t let life pass you bye … Pink Floyd is Emotional, Philosophical and Beautiful …
Every song you listen to will have some meaning or another well disguised in the song ! You will never be disappointed
It's funny you mention the effect of this 48-year old album! I've checked several sites and it still sells eight to ten thousand copies a week!! That I believe is called Longevity!!! Actually don't regret not listening to them when you were growing up at all count yourself lucky instead!

AGREED !!!
Absolutly innovative- unique music for eternity, timeless!!! spaceless!!!
Best progressive rock ever!

It was on the Billboard top 500 for 961 weeks. Fucking Hell.
A timeless masterpiece.
Tom. You've got to listen to this Album from start to finish. It's a trip to a different time and place. Never gets old.
I rock this song every year on my birthday.
Pink floyd grabs hold of your mind and your soul!!!

Yes that's Mr. Gilmour. The guy who can bring out emotions from deep inside of you, emotions that you never knew existed!

Hi Tom. When you go on a journey with pink Floyd. That journey is different for everyone. From UK 🇬🇧👍👍 peace
New technology at the time. Don't forget that. Do not ever forget that. This was the first time we heard sounds like this. IT WAS NEW!!!!

'Shorter of breath and one day closer to death" . Written by someone in their late 20's and increasingly meaningful as I approach 60!
*One of the greatest lines ever written.*

My fav Floyd song, hands down. That.guitar solo--man.
Loved your reaction, buddy. It was real, honest, and frankly, expected. Lol
Pink Floyd 'One.of These Days ' Pulse concert. You absolutely won't regret it
You nailed it. Pink Floyd are like a mind-altering drug.
How can someone not know about Pink Floyd. Wow.
I was born in 1973 and was about 21 when u bought the Animals album, the other CD's followed after that... Pink Floyd is among the greatest for me
Hook,line and sinker ,we got ya welcome to the club
Best band of all times 😎👍🎸🎻🎷🎤🥁✨🎶
D G has that ability to channel his guitar as if it wants to say something that’s important and beautiful.
The thing about Pink Floyd is every week or two my favorite song is different. I’ll hear something in one of their songs that hits me just right and that will be my favorite and so on.
Listen to this song again when you're in your sixties. It will hit you like...
Jeremy ! I am thrilled you are really getting into these guys. Really deep stuff ! I am 70 years old. I was brought up in New York. The 70s were my heyday ! I had the privilege to see these guys live 5 times . . . showcasing new albums, each time. I think you will really get into the ANIMALS album. It is a critique of society and its cruelties.

DEFINITELY worth a listen !
Ok here's the deal, I've been a fan since 1968,
This is what you need to do, sit back relax and listen to
"Dark side" uninterrupted.
You will never view life the same way again!

Yeah. My brother actually set up his speakers right next to my bed and woke me up to this when I was about 12. 🤣
One of these days I'll just grab my Bluetooth speaker and get him back.
this is my favorite Pink Floyd song as well. Its a beautiful, well-written, well-composed, well-produced song that has a profound message
Shine on You Crazy Diamond; Echoes; The Great Gig in the Sky; Dogs; Pigs; Sheep; Wish You Were Here, are just a few suggestions.
always appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
the TASTE
I’m one of those people, lol. I live by Pink Floyd! They are the greatest. Love your reactions, would love to see more Pink Floyd reactions. It’s such a journey! David Gilmour and that guitar are absolutely mind blowing!! Nick Mason is very much showcased in this song as well. The whole band is just a masterpiece.
Great video man! So much power in this song! Another song On the turning away LIVE Pink floyd is AMAZING! BTW Love your content! The way you express yourself is awesome and keep going!
I'm 67 now. The sun has raced and come up behind me many times now. I am shorter of breath and much closer to death these days no doubt. This is the music I grew up with and enjoyed. Rock and Roll from the 60's and 70's was fantastic. There were many bands that had amazing influence on daily living with dynamic lyrics and guitar play like Floyd such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones and so many others. It was a magical musical time of creativity in music and lyrics which does not exist in todays musical artists and bands. But one thing I am sure of. Because of the infinite number of musical arrangements that can be made from 8 simple notes that we know as the scale, I believe that the greatest music ever composed hasn't even been created yet. I'm sure I will be dead and buried by that time. But I know it will be an amazing adventure for those young people who will be alive at that time. It certainly was for us back then.
I love that, unlike so many, you're not stuck in nostalgia, Con, and are able to envision that even greater music than when you were young is yet to be created! What a great attitude!
I'm with you... 🙌 ...And same age... I'll be 67 in August....And guess what... I've seen progress of that which you just spoke of....One palpable proof of that is Tool....If you're like me, and see music the way i do, and grasp at it as it goes the same way I do, I'm sure you've most likely heard a band like Tool...To me, they're like the Pink Floyd of the 21st Century...If another band like that comes along by the turn on the 22nd century, you're right, we're not gonna get to see that....But I'm happy at least we got to grow up with Pink Floyd, and witnessed the rise of a band like Tool....Life's good..😎
I hear you brother.
Pretty close behind, closing rapidly on 63. Pink Floyd never fails to have the same reactions from so many years ago. Rock on dude!!
Yes. I'm 69, and l can echo your words. The 60s and 70s will never be seen again, we lived through an incredible period. Well said.
Just a masterpiece.
Hey Tom please continue to react to the rest of this album and Wish You Were Here Album. It's refreshing and heartwarming to see what appear real soulful responses to the music and attempting to understand the feel and thoughts behind the lyrics. Keep going man it does an old codgers heart good to see you. Don't be sad if you missed it all first time around, better late than never. Marty UK 66y.o and still getting that warm goose pimply feel from PFs vibes.
I grinned because of how wide your eyes flew open when the song started. I knew how you felt. The first time I listened to this album when I was a kid, I was laying in bed chilling and grooving. When "Time" started and that cacophony came out of my speakers, I bolted out of bed like my ass had been set on fire. It was so jarring and unexpected that it scared the crap out of me. Needless to say, we didn't have reaction-videos back then. Good thing. People would have been laughing their butts off at my reaction.
Pink Floyd is not only loved for their music, the story-telling in many of their albums is also a huge part of why they are still so relevant today. When a band becomes loved by multiple generations, that speaks volumes about how powerful their music is.
The lyrics to this song are absolutely amazing! The text seems to have been written by an old, experienced and lifelong man, but the fantastic thing is that Waters was not even 30 years old at the time of writing. Pink Floyd's lyrics (mostly written by Waters) are really deep and border on philosophy. Combined with magical music, it's just perfect ...
And yes - as you say - today's lyrics say nothing to anyone. "We love both" or "I love her but she doesn't me" or other nonsense. Today's music (and lyrics) just slides on the surface and only acts as a backdrop. Gone are the days when true MUSIC was formed and will never return. Too bad it's like that :-(.
By the way, the song "Time" is followed by the song "The Great Gig in the Sky". Listen and you will be amazed! Clare Torry (accompanying singer) sang on the recommendation of sound engineer Alan Parsons. It's breathtaking and you will forget it! (Again, I recommend the studio version).
And remember: it's never too late to listen to Pink Floyd ...
Yes! OMG Clare Torry - I actually had a dream about her - in my ridiculous dream, there were noises behind my walls, which I thought were trapped cats, and when I finally chopped a hole, and looked in, I was astounded and said to my husband "it's not a cat - it's Clare Torry" - I totally woke up laughing.... when I told a friend, he said "that must have been one very melodic cat!" - lol
The endless touring and Roger Waters fear of flying acted as inspiration.
Phew, someone thinks like me. So I didn't get old complaining about today's music. She sucks
@@GinMae Hilarious!
To say that good music doesn’t exist today is completely false. You have to look beyond the mainstream and what you hear on the radio. It’s out there.
What memories listening to this song brings back. In the late 70's a friend, Steve Lakebrink, had a New Year's Eve party at his parents' house. We planned to play this song at the stroke of midnight, with all the alarms going off as a way to start the New Year. We were all in our late teens, to early 20's at the time. Now listening to the song and Tom breakdown the lyrics it has a more powerful meaning to me. The passage of time from then to now has been transformational, as the lyrics tell the story. Getting out of college, eventually getting married, having a family, and now with grandchildren. Now I'm 65 and my friend Steve has been gone for about 25 years, leaving this earth much too early, But I am thinking of him now and miss his friendship. 🙏
My brother took me to this show when I was 5! Forever formed my view of music. Floyd is an experience like no other, not just musically but emotionally.
My all time favorite band. I was 17 when this record came out. No lyrics needed, I now them out of my head!!
As you get older, the years fly by..... at 72 I can attest to that.
Was able and fortunate to have experienced the Floyd twice live. I love watching folks analyze the songs. Makes the songs feel new every time! Thanks
How to end a great concert ---> Pink Floyd - Run like hell ( live Pulse 1994 ) 😎👍✨
I was listening to Pink Floyd at age 10. Hooked for life.
this song and pink floyd in general has changed my life
This is a timeless classic. Gilmour is in my opinion the best guitarist ever.
I doubt you would get too many arguments. Pure genius!
Haha! This song makes reactors so anxious because of the long intro. But Pink Floyd like to build up the music gradually. In a world of instant gratification, these moments are lost in art and music and under appreciated.
One of the greatest bands ever!
Tom. Listen to Delicate Sound of Thunder. Us and Them , Money and then Comfortably Numb may have a better Gilmore solo.
Now, pretend you heard that opening for the first time when you were really really high. It sticks with you for at least 48 years.
It stocked to me for over 45 years without being high back then.
On The Turning Away by Pink Floyd is a very profound song too
Thank you very much for your service.❤️
Now you know why headphones are so important! Continue on with Pink Floyd! ❤️❤️❤️
Pink Floyd are simply GENIUS, have been a major part of my life for over 50 yrs since first playing them in my bedroom at 15,
I have been in love with David Gilmour since then ❤
David makes a guitar scream in pain and ecstasy at the same time
Time is a funny thing. Take my son for example. He was born a few days ago… but now he’s eleven.
Like… where did those years go???
If you want to see David play the guitar. check out the pulse performance of "sorrow'.
This is absolutely beautiful coming from a 19 year old makes me think how much more I have to experience and just finding out about the band now will definitely help me go on throughout life in a whole different point of view
Great reaction man, thank you!
Do not apologise.... as a 43yr olf Floyd fan.... i loved this genuine reaction.
You got yourself a subscriber.
Wish you and your family all the best.
enjoyed your reaction to this!
The 70s' were a truly amazing decade for popular music hands down. And I would agree that having this kind of music to listen to growing up was a formative experience.
Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Queen, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, and the list goes on and on. Truly the greatest era for music.
The LONG Lead-Ins set the mood, the Metronomic Beat relaxes you, then when you're all jellied out & open to suggestion, Roger Whispers MADNESS In Your Ears. WELCOME To THE Floyd.
I listened to this song a thousand times as a 17-18-20-25-30 year old. I think I heard it for the first at about 45, at which point this masterpiece will punch you in the gut.
For me, the lyrics builds perfectly to the line "thought I'd something more to say". At 54yrs old I'm very conscious of what I have and haven't done with that time - other than my kids and grandkids, what is my legacy....
The song tells you not to waste a moment of life. Your lifetime, in the great scheme of things, is very short and you don’t have time to wish, or dream; you gotta ‘do’.
Simply one of the greatest albums of all.Been listening for 40 years or so.Time never gets boring and just gets more relevant the older you get.David Gilmore doesn't use guitar leads he just plugs in directly to his soul.The whole album is a master piece..
This was one of the first albums I ever bought... love Pink Floyd. When I was growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's we were exposed to all this great music on the radio. Stations back then were not genre driven as much as they are today. The variety of music was amazing. Such good times and great memories.
The lyrics are by Roger Waters; guitarist, David Gilmour, is the main singer with support from keyboard player, Richard Wright,
And, what about the drummer!!!! ??? Nick Mason plays a major part of this track, to the fore.
In my ears, PF would not be what they have been, had it not been for EACH ONE of them. In particular, Nick Mason.
For 40 years, I have been hooked on his percussive effects as much as anything - as much as everything.
Roger WATERS, not Walters
That ethereal sound at the end of Time leads directly to The great great gig in the 🌌
The way to listen to Dark Side of the Moon....turn down the lights, turn up the volume, sit back and listen from start to finish. Then try to figure out how you feel
My favourite PF song and best guitar solo of all time. And I've been listening to millions of hours of music since my mum took me to see ABBA in the mid 70s.
At 73 years old I still get moved by Time and Comfortably Numb. I'm so glad I've been able to see them live since the early 1970's.
Coming back to life really showcases Davids vocals and guitar work, live from Pulse 1994 is a great one.
Many if not most of their albums are concept albums where a story is told from beginning to end.
Our entire life in just ine song and four simple verses. Mindblowing.
"Us and Them" will blow your mind!
I graduated High School in '73, and it wasn't long before this band came to town. I spent eight bucks to go see them. The Dark Side concert was amazing. Light effects, sure. And quadraphonic sound. Three hours of mind-numbing and soul searing power. I've never been the same since. I never waste a day. Pink Floyd has a way of getting into the head. They'll take you on a ride. Try the album "Animals." Just lay down and let them carry you away.
One of the most profound songs ever written! It means something different to you with every passing year. This song grows in its power and comprehension as you grow older. It blew my mind as a teenager, and totally wrecks me at 60. If you don’t “get it” right now, I deeply suggest that you listen to it again and again until you DO get it. (You’ll thank me when you are 60’sh!)
With evry Song youll listen from Pink Floyd the more of Pink runs through your Veins! Their Music is a Gift to Mankind and especially to those who can go explore the depth of every Song❤
This song is the very definition of "pathos". I think everybody can remember where they were when they first heard this song. It stops you and enters you like none other. It has the quality of soothing you and yet causing you some discomfort at the same time and the guitar solo is the reflection of the words...beautiful yet with undeniable angst. Also it is a pleasure to realise that the last verse is in fact a reprise of the track called "Breathe" earlier on the album so wonderfullly and almost imperceptably does it segue from one to the other, something it has taken me forty years of listening to the album to realise. Silly me. If you are going to watch a live version don't expect Gilmour to be thrashing around like crazy. It is usually less a visual feast than an aural one. Thank you.
The soundtrack to everyone's life ..written when they were relatively young. Amazing
At the time the album was released the tune "Money" received the most attention. While it is another great Pink Floyd song, its kinda interesting how "Time" has taken the spotlight over the years.
It is amazing how a one-word song title “Time”) speaks volumes about the meaning of the song. David Gilmour’s guitar playing and lead vocals are incredible.
Dont forget Waters lyrics.
@@malikaihoon7337 You are absolutely correct. Roger Waters was and is brilliant. His positive contribution to Pink Floyd is undeniable.
Loved your reaction to Time. They have the ability to take you on a journey. Pink Floyd is like no other band. The greatest band ever.
