I was wondering how you had 41 comments half an hour before the premiere. That explains it. And Chewie would like a treat. He understands not enough time for a walk. 😃
"The Wall" is a rock opera. The whole album is the story of a young man, with a domineering mother, growing up in post WWII England, having lost his father in the war, becoming a star, and having a breakdown. All Pink Floyd should be listened to as albums, front to back; but with the wall it is a must, to really get the story.
The poem that the teacher mocks consists of some lyrics from the song "Money" from the earlier album "The Dark Side of the Moon.." The adult Pink in the film is portrayed by Bob Geldof (singer for the Irish band The Boomtown Rats and organizer of Band Aid and Live Aid.) This clip is a flashback to the younger Pink in school, obviously. The various traumas in Pink's life cause him to build a metaphorical wall around himself to seal himself off emotionally from the rest of the world. The English school system provides a brick for that wall, as the lyrics state. Honestly, while I loved the the 1979 concept album, I thought the 1982 movie adaptation was only so-so.
Excellent comment! But we disagree about the movie, I loved it! ;-] When I saw it, it was the second date with a girl who would later become my wife. She hated the film! As we divorced a few years later, I realized that I had missed the opportunity to dump her right then and there! lol
I think The Wall as a movie (and the album) are like 2001 A Space Odyssey where the storyteller is not telling well defined story. There are the general broad strokes of the broken man trying to find and tear down the barriers that cause his self isolation, but there are also many ragged edges where the viewer/listener is meant to find their own meaning in the experience.
The album itself painted such incredible images in our minds that nobody's movie could ever match up. I think the band members also expressed something similar.
Hi coming from England when I was young got into PINK FLOYD All the album's ARE Awesome I am now retired and still listening to PINK FLOYD🎼🎼🎸🎹🎹 All the best👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Diane is not stupid, she only knows what she knows It was before her time, better late than never I loved your reaction to this song that you chose And look forward to what’s next in your music endeavor
Man,I voted for this for our Senior song in high school. My eldest brother was a Pink Floyd fan so I was schooled very early on their music. It’s definitely an experience, especially the first time.
This was the anthem back in high school. So lucky to have grown up with such amazing music. I feel sorry for the kids today who don't know what good music really sounds like.
You're a genius Diane! 😁 Parents teach their kids different things. Mine mostly taught me theology and the Bible, and from 11 on I kind of raised myself. No one should be shamed for not knowing something, or parents shamed for not teaching something.

Actually Roger Waters and David Gilmoure teamed up again in "Comfortably Numb" in 2012 in rock concerts around the world commemorating "The Wall!" Too bad I couldn't travel to the nearest location because Pink Floyd's "The Wall" most of the album tunes (and 1977's Animals) are ingrained into my memories, for the rest of my life.
I remember the group of kids in high school that were all Pink Floyd fans discussing the "deep" meanings of their songs. I just wanted to listen to good music back then. Loving these reviews keep it up. and yes, let Chewie listen and give his reaction. The public wants to know the dog kingdom's view. 💌
No, back then qe listen to a lot of rubbish music, which the 80s was filled with to the bone. Pink Floyd were a rare exception to the general dreadfulness of the music made back then. I utterly despise the nostalgic bullshit thst is now so fashionable about the f*cking 80s. Either you forgot how terrible it was due to trauma or you were one of the rare previledged to have a good memory of it. The 80s were sh*t and Pink Floyd were one of the rare respites of quality in that dreadful decade.
It's been super fun seeing you react to these well known songs recently, Diane. It's a great reminder of what is super familiar to one person might represent an entirely new experience to someone else.
Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here" is my favorite song which was a tribute to their former bandmate Syd Barrett who unfortunately suffered from a mental breakdown. It is also the name of their 9th Studio Album.
@@patrickwentz8413 Waters has given a few explanations, here's one: "In a way it’s a schizophrenic song. It’s directed at my other half, if you like, the battling elements within myself. There’s the bit that’s concerned with other people, the bit that one applauds in oneself, then there’s the grasping avaricious, selfish little kid who wants to get his hands on the sweets and have them all. The song slips in and out of both personae, so the bit that always wants to win is feeling upset and plaintively saying to the other side, wish you were here.”
every Pink Floyd album from Dark Side to The Final Cut was a concept album, a story, and yes, this one was a movie as well, every album is a true masterpiece!
I played all the tracks of "The Wall" at least once a week when I ran my Video Shop, most of my customers loved this music. Pink Flyod was composing and playing music on an altogether new level.
Yes, yes, YES, the way you were bobbing your head, you are getting the experience of Pink Floyd and not just listening to them. The poem in the classroom is the lyrics from one of their greatest hits "Money" from Darkside of the Moon. As with everyone else, I highly suggest you watch the movie The Wall. It too is an experience. Looking forward to more Pink Floyd reactions.
Worth noting D, the 'poem' the kid was writing that the teacher used to ridicule him to the class were the lyrics of 'Money' another Pink Floyd track. The themes of their works are perennial
A wee bit stoned in a dimly lit room and with good headphones or a really good stereo is the only way to listen to Pink Floyd. Absolutely one of my favorite ways to unwind after a stressful week or being subjected to a lot of people (very introverted type here). DSotM or Wish You Were Here are probably my two favorite albums. The Wall was a very strange movie, think I've only seen it once.
The kid in class that was the poet... Money, get back, I'm alright Jack, Keep your hands off my stack. New car, caviar, four star daydream, Think I'll buy me a football team. That's part of the lyrics from 'Money', a song on the 'Dark Side of the Moon' album.
When I was a wee baby in Turkey in the early eighties, my aunt came to visit us. She said people would want to talk about this song with her when they found out she spoke English. It seems it was catchy enough that they liked it but had no idea what it meant.
@@DianeJennings Great Reaction though you did close your eyes and miss things like the teacher being carried into the fire. lol Bob Geldof was the Organiser of LIVE AID and leader of THe Boomtown Rats Group Diane:)
Seeing you swaying to the music was just so delightful. I think I enjoy other people's enjoyment of music or film or whatever almost as much as I enjoy the music or art itself. So it's like a double dose of enjoyment. 😊
A number of years back, one of our local TV news stations here in Canada had an english woman who did the weather. At one point she shared the fact that she was an extra as one of the these young kids in this scene from the movie
We listened to this mostly before MTV and their videos, but we would put the album on and stare at the wall, the floor, out the window, and maybe say "gnarly, dude". It was a simple time.
Hello Diane, this is my 3rd reaction, 1st was The Doors "Riders in the Storm", 2nd was Pink Floyd "Time" and now here and I like seeing your reaction to meeting some of the old Gods for the first time. From what you have said about your music tastes & new appreciation of Pink Floyd I would very strongly recommend you follow up next with Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky (2011 Remastered). You will be impressed by the female vocals & more so when you read about the song.
Love the movie. Performing this live, they had a wall built between the audience and the band so by the end the band was not seen before having the wall torn down only to be rebuilt the next show.
I love the fact that you were so into the song that you couldn't even watch the video. Your eyes were closed for half of the video because you were just jamming out the Pink Floyd and I love it
The album The Wall is a true listening experience, and the movie is essentially the album with scenes surrounding the songs. It is its own incredible experience. Wonderful reaction young lady.
Pink Floyd is definitely rock legends. hey you and comfortable numb play on the radio a lot from the same album. yes, its from Pink Floyd the wall movie that is the whole album start to finish. it tells a wild tale in the mind of a Rockstar's life from being a boy into a man. the photo at the end of the song is him and his wife. I am enjoying the rock reaction videos a lot. I think Chewie will like this song once he hears it. I am enjoying the music reaction videos a lot. Happy Weird Rockstar Wednesday Diane and Chewie. 🎸
Some of the greatest music and lyrics you will ever hear are from Pink Floyd, expand your listening of them and I guarantee you will be blown away. Great video.
This music video comes from the Pink Floyd movie titled The Wall which is kinda like a musical all the songs from the album the wall are in it and it tells a story. It’s Pretty good
This was the version done for the Pink Floyd The Wall movie which came out in 1982, it combines "The Happiest Days of our Lives" and "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2". The original music video that came out in 1979 is very different and is only for Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 which is the one that's always played on radio.
This is the music I grew up on but you need to start from the beginning to understand the GENIUS of this phenomenal Band. They were way before their time and would be considered relevant today…
Don't know whether it is a stupid idea or not. It actually sounds like a good idea to me. But maybe I'm stupid too. The look on your face as it starts is priceless. It is a dark song. So . . . Just the score & storyline for their movie? Protest song? Some even say an anthem for anarchist?
Another great choice Diane, you can never go wrong with Pink Floyd. I saw them at Rice University stadium in Houston Texas almost 20 years ago, storm blew through and messed up all the stage props. Then the storm knocked the lights out in the whole stadium.
So Pink Floyd perform the wall in only two cities New York and Los Angeles I want to say it was either 1980 or 81. It seems so long ago and it was performed in the round. I went to the show in Los Angeles it was mind-blowing keep up the great work Diane
The greatest live performance of Pink Floyd is "Comfortably Numb" as performed in 1994 in the Pulse concert. You cannot go wrong listening and watching that. That is a song from "the Wall" rock opera.
Hey, I'm really happy to see you discovering real music. I can say it because many of the songs are from my youth, although I still enjoy listening to them. I just could never imagine (it was clear to me that the music was for eternity) what it was like when young people heard this music for the first time. My daughter (21) and my son (16) know the music (most of it). I'm turning 60 this year. Thank you for allowing me to experience your openness.
Oh boy. There’s a lot to unpack with this short segment and The Wall as a whole. The Wall tells this as part of Pink’s story from youth through tragedy and through mental illness and isolation. It’ll probably take a few times watching it for it to make sense!
My college buddies and I were anxiously awaiting the movie and went at the first showing at midnight, expecting something much different than what we saw. We left depressed, confused and in awe. Many years later, my pre-teen son wanted to watch it as he was a budding musician... I let him only if I was there with him and under the condition that either of us could stop the movie at any time to talk about what we were seeing and hearing. As a young man, it changed me in some ways. For the better.
You can't go wrong with the classics. A change of pace and a song that means alot to ppl and will bring a smile to your face in the end is a song call Skin by Rascale Flatts .. Hope you are having a great day today
This is from The Wall movie which came out after the album release. Another Brick in the Wall earned Floyd a Christmas 1979 no 1 chart hit and there is a 'pop music' video to accompany the single. Sir Bob Geldof, organiser of Live Aid 1985 & Live8 2005 plays 'Pink' in the film, and for Live 8, he managed to get the band back together with their bassist Roger waters for the last ever PF gig in public. The secret of listening to PF is that the albums tell a story, so should really be listened to all the way through.
Two musts for Pink Floyd are the movie The Wall and the full Pulse Concert performed at Albert Hall. I was fortunate to have seen this concert live in Detroit Michigan many years ago. I promise, you won't be disappointed. Cheers
Love your palpable shock. This song (and album) literally changed my life as a teenager. Needless to say I didn't finish school, and while life hasn't been easy for me since then I can say that despite everything I'm truly happy. Life has taken me places I could've never imagined myself going to and it truly is only just the beginning.
Dianne When you have some time and you're still interested in Pink Floyd, you might want to check out "Echoes". It's a whole album side from just before they became legendary.
I am super happy that you have started your journey with Floyd. I first heard them as a preteen, and they struck a chord in me that has lasted ever since. I cant count the amount of times as a teen I got stoned like a gravel road and rocked out to them, contemplating life and the wonders of the universe 🤣🤘 But in all seriousness, its the kind of music that frees your very soul. Keep up the great work Diane, much love and respect from the States! ❤️🇺🇸
I saw the movie "The Wall" in 1994 at the largest theater in the Chicago area (at that time {Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg}) at a special midnight showing. The theater was packed and after getting stoned in the parking lot, people were openly passing joints around the theater. The movie started like 40 minutes late and when it did, it was the loudest movie experience that I have ever had. I was 19 and things were magical.
Never be ashamed of what you don't know, be proud that you know what you don't know (many people do not), and be proud that you take action to expand your knowledge. Aside from that, I love watching you expand your knowledge of music and sharing the experience with us.
You will have to listen to the entire album front to back, have the lyrics handy to follow along, watch the movie, listen to the album again, then watch the movie again. Now you will only start to understand the story. Good reaction video, keep it up.😎
This was the first song I heard by Pink Floyd. I used to play a lot in Brazil when I was a kid. "Coming back to life", played on Pulse has one of David Gilmour's best solos.
Hey Diane, The "Video" for this song is actually an excerpt from Pink Floyd's "The Wall," a 1982 British live-action/animated film directed by Alan Parker. he movie greatly aids in understanding the Album and fills is many details visually, If you can locate it, it's well worth the time it takes to watch it. As far as approaching experiencing their work, that's a deeper question. Every Studio Album Pink Floyd released, at least after Syd Barret left as front man, Are complete stories, and really need to heard from beginning to end. You can pick and choose certain songs, but you be left with a lot of, "What was that about?" Additionally, a somewhat larger and less well defined storyline is woven throughout the bands releases over the years. So going back to at least the 'Wish you Were Here' album and working forward is also recommended. I hear the learning curve for Pink Floyd fandom and brain surgery are about the same. Could I interest you in a scalpel? One word of warning, please take me seriously, listening to Pink Floyd music is psychoactive. Most music is able to alter brain chemistry. Floyd does this in spades. Pink Floyd music's effects will affect you. After you hear it you can not unhear it, and you will be different. Love the vids, keep up the great work.
Nice reaction to part of the movie ❤ The phone ringing at the end was the movie continuing on, leading to the next song. Their albums are not separate songs! They are chapters of a story Thank you for appreciating Pink Floyd ❤
Love your reactions, very honest and real. You are listening to the best blues-rock guitar player Mr. David G. Keep running with this you won't be disappointed ✌️
I remember school was like this in the 70's when I went to school in England. It's like military boot camp, they take away the individuality to make everyone think as one. It was a whole movie.
As a 15/16 year old when this came out, it was amazing. In my school, the Class of 1980 voted it as their Class Song, the Administration denied them that right. They picked something else, but it is their unofficial Class Song still today, lol.
There are so many great Pink Floyd songs to react to, and though many insist on doing whole albums (which I get and even sympathize with), it's still great to see someone discovering this music and reacting to it. Many of us came to Pink Floyd through radio singles and from there the albums, so if you do songs here and there, you'd be giving us our radio days again. "The Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" is as deep as any of their songs. From this album, "Comfortably Numb" and "Hey You" are probably the other big two--along with live versions of "Run Like Hell." I saw your reaction to "Time," by the way, so I appreciate your taking time to look into this band!
This is the album that got me hooked on Pink Floyd. I was 11 or 12 when this album came out. This particular song on this album was my favorite but the whole album was great. The movie was great also
Hi Diane. Thx for doing another Pink Floyd reaction! Watching "Comfortably Numb" from the "Pulse" live concert video is a good one with much beautiful effects.
The poem the teacher read was the lyrics from a song called "Money" off their world record setting album "The Darkside of the Moon". The album was on the top 200 for over 950 weeks.
was subjected to a particularly vicious public insult by a teacher in my senior year of HS and this song reminds me of it every time I hear it wonder what things Waters had to endure back that inspired such a unique gem
I was 16 when The Wall came out and had just started getting into Pink Floyd in 1977. I had Dark Side Of The Moon and then got into Wish You Were Here and Animals before The Wall came out and knew that they were telling the story of Syd Barrett and his life. In 1978 or early 1979, I had a shortwave radio and managed to find a BBC station that had an interview with Roger Waters discussing The Wall before it was released and he explained a lot of went into creating The Wall. It was a very interesting interview. As others have said, those four albums need to be listened to in their entirety and in order to get the full effect of Syd's story with The Wall being the culmination. Also as others have noted, this is just a segment of the movie, and while it's good on it's own, seeing the movie tells the whole story. Bob Geldof was brilliant in the lead role. You need to take a deep breath before watching the movie because it's going to take you on a ride deep into someone that is falling into a deep dark area of the mind.
I"m glad you're enjoying Pink Floyd, Diane. They're a great group with quite an interesting discography. Their earlier albums are very much in the psychedelic / experimental genre. Dark Side of the Moon ushered in a more accessible sound but always complex, thought provoking and different from any of main stream rock band. You should check out the song "One of These Days" off of the Meddle album. Great stuff.
Hi Diane, I know I'm late on this video but still want to leave a comment since you had asked hkw Pink Floyd performed this song. I was fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd in concert around 1984 and for this song had like four robots rolled out with red lazer eyes. The lazers danced and projected through the crowd, and since it was a baseball stadium and it had rained all that day, the sky was filled with clouds and the lazers just light them up, it's an amazing memory I have. 🤟
Easiest way to do Pink Floyd is to start with videos from The Wall. Compact vignettes with lots of emotional power. They stand by themselves and integrate into a package.
This tune got the most radio love than any other track. I'm sure you've been told to watch the movie a hundred times by now. Do it, you won't regret it.

A number of years back, one of our local TV news stations here in Canada had an english woman who did the weather. At one point she shared the fact that she was an extra as one of the these young kids in this scene from the movie
We listened to this mostly before MTV and their videos, but we would put the album on and stare at the wall, the floor, out the window, and maybe say "gnarly, dude". It was a simple time.
😂 too funny
Hello Diane, this is my 3rd reaction, 1st was The Doors "Riders in the Storm", 2nd was Pink Floyd "Time" and now here and I like seeing your reaction to meeting some of the old Gods for the first time. From what you have said about your music tastes & new appreciation of Pink Floyd I would very strongly recommend you follow up next with
Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky (2011 Remastered). You will be impressed by the female vocals & more so when you read about the song.
Love the movie.
Performing this live, they had a wall built between the audience and the band so by the end the band was not seen before having the wall torn down only to be rebuilt the next show.
I love the fact that you were so into the song that you couldn't even watch the video. Your eyes were closed for half of the video because you were just jamming out the Pink Floyd and I love it
"Comfortamble nunb"
Album The Wall 1979.
This theme is awesome!
The album The Wall is a true listening experience, and the movie is essentially the album with scenes surrounding the songs. It is its own incredible experience. Wonderful reaction young lady.
Pink Floyd is definitely rock legends. hey you and comfortable numb play on the radio a lot from the same album. yes, its from Pink Floyd the wall movie that is the whole album start to finish. it tells a wild tale in the mind of a Rockstar's life from being a boy into a man. the photo at the end of the song is him and his wife. I am enjoying the rock reaction videos a lot. I think Chewie will like this song once he hears it. I am enjoying the music reaction videos a lot. Happy Weird Rockstar Wednesday Diane and Chewie. 🎸
He seems to like it now!🎉
@@DianeJennings majority that hear pink floyd like the rock sound of the music timeless classic. Chewie is a very cool rock star. 🎸🍀🎉
Some of the greatest music and lyrics you will ever hear are from Pink Floyd, expand your listening of them and I guarantee you will be blown away. Great video.
At 67 years of age, I count myself among the blessed to to have lived my life along side such creative genius.
This music video comes from the Pink Floyd movie titled The Wall which is kinda like a musical all the songs from the album the wall are in it and it tells a story. It’s Pretty good
This is Another Brick in the Wall Part II. There's a part I and III. It's enjoyable viewing watching your music reactions.
The movie is incredible, gives the songs on the album much more meaning
I remember coming home from work and my pre-teen kids were listing to Dark Side of the Moon. I was so proud.
Infinite love and respect to you, Diane. Your videos are always insightful and entertaining.
Wow, thank you
This was the version done for the Pink Floyd The Wall movie which came out in 1982, it combines "The Happiest Days of our Lives" and "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2".
The original music video that came out in 1979 is very different and is only for Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 which is the one that's always played on radio.
Everyone has a Pink Floyd discovery moment, thanks for sharing.
This is the music I grew up on but you need to start from the beginning to understand the GENIUS of this phenomenal Band. They were way before their time and would be considered relevant today…
They are relevant.
Don't know whether it is a stupid idea or not. It actually sounds like a good idea to me. But maybe I'm stupid too. The look on your face as it starts is priceless. It is a dark song. So . . . Just the score & storyline for their movie? Protest song? Some even say an anthem for anarchist?
Another great choice Diane, you can never go wrong with Pink Floyd. I saw them at Rice University stadium in Houston Texas almost 20 years ago, storm blew through and messed up all the stage props. Then the storm knocked the lights out in the whole stadium.
So Pink Floyd perform the wall in only two cities New York and Los Angeles I want to say it was either 1980 or 81. It seems so long ago and it was performed in the round. I went to the show in Los Angeles it was mind-blowing keep up the great work Diane
Spent many hours of my teenage years listening to this whole album over and over and over again.
I remember this album in 1980, blew me away!!! There is a Pink Floyd "The Wall" movie. Again Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig In The Sky"! It's orgasmic!
I was in Grade 10 when the song was played on the radio in Canada, so, it really hit me in the gut.
The greatest live performance of Pink Floyd is "Comfortably Numb" as performed in 1994 in the Pulse concert. You cannot go wrong listening and watching that. That is a song from "the Wall" rock opera.
Hey, I'm really happy to see you discovering real music. I can say it because many of the songs are from my youth, although I still enjoy listening to them. I just could never imagine (it was clear to me that the music was for eternity) what it was like when young people heard this music for the first time. My daughter (21) and my son (16) know the music (most of it). I'm turning 60 this year. Thank you for allowing me to experience your openness.
Oh boy. There’s a lot to unpack with this short segment and The Wall as a whole. The Wall tells this as part of Pink’s story from youth through tragedy and through mental illness and isolation. It’ll probably take a few times watching it for it to make sense!
Seeing Diane grooving to Pink Floyd is the greatest thing I’ve seen all day.
My college buddies and I were anxiously awaiting the movie and went at the first showing at midnight, expecting something much different than what we saw. We left depressed, confused and in awe. Many years later, my pre-teen son wanted to watch it as he was a budding musician... I let him only if I was there with him and under the condition that either of us could stop the movie at any time to talk about what we were seeing and hearing. As a young man, it changed me in some ways. For the better.
You can't go wrong with the classics.
A change of pace and a song that means alot to ppl and will bring a smile to your face in the end is a song call Skin by Rascale Flatts .. Hope you are having a great day today
This is from The Wall movie which came out after the album release. Another Brick in the Wall earned Floyd a Christmas 1979 no 1 chart hit and there is a 'pop music' video to accompany the single. Sir Bob Geldof, organiser of Live Aid 1985 & Live8 2005 plays 'Pink' in the film, and for Live 8, he managed to get the band back together with their bassist Roger waters for the last ever PF gig in public. The secret of listening to PF is that the albums tell a story, so should really be listened to all the way through.
Two musts for Pink Floyd are the movie The Wall and the full Pulse Concert performed at Albert Hall. I was fortunate to have seen this concert live in Detroit Michigan many years ago. I promise, you won't be disappointed. Cheers
Had the privilege of seeing them in Australia on their Delicate Sound Of Thunder tour this was one of the best concerts I have ever seen .
Love your palpable shock. This song (and album) literally changed my life as a teenager. Needless to say I didn't finish school, and while life hasn't been easy for me since then I can say that despite everything I'm truly happy. Life has taken me places I could've never imagined myself going to and it truly is only just the beginning.
Man what I would give to be able to listen to Pink Floyd again for the first time
I have a fear now that Diane may not know about Thriller or Purple Rain, or Bohemian Rhasbody.
Roger's bassline in this is thick and stonking and just kicks all the way through this masterpiece.
Dianne
When you have some time and you're still interested in Pink Floyd, you might want to check out "Echoes". It's a whole album side from just before they became legendary.
Pink Floyd’s Rock Opera “The Wall” is Legendary ♥️
Another Brick in the wall was a Pink Floyd Album, Song and a Full Length Movie. They took part of the Movie and used it as the Video for the song.
I am super happy that you have started your journey with Floyd. I first heard them as a preteen, and they struck a chord in me that has lasted ever since. I cant count the amount of times as a teen I got stoned like a gravel road and rocked out to them, contemplating life and the wonders of the universe 🤣🤘 But in all seriousness, its the kind of music that frees your very soul. Keep up the great work Diane, much love and respect from the States! ❤️🇺🇸
I saw the movie "The Wall" in 1994 at the largest theater in the Chicago area (at that time {Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg}) at a special midnight showing. The theater was packed and after getting stoned in the parking lot, people were openly passing joints around the theater. The movie started like 40 minutes late and when it did, it was the loudest movie experience that I have ever had. I was 19 and things were magical.
Another great Pink Floyd "movie" is "Live at Pompeii". Very conceptual and great music. It can be found on TH-cam as well.
Never be ashamed of what you don't know, be proud that you know what you don't know (many people do not), and be proud that you take action to expand your knowledge. Aside from that, I love watching you expand your knowledge of music and sharing the experience with us.
You will have to listen to the entire album front to back, have the lyrics handy to follow along, watch the movie, listen to the album again, then watch the movie again. Now you will only start to understand the story. Good reaction video, keep it up.😎
This was the first song I heard by Pink Floyd. I used to play a lot in Brazil when I was a kid. "Coming back to life", played on Pulse has one of David Gilmour's best solos.
Hey Diane, The "Video" for this song is actually an excerpt from Pink Floyd's "The Wall," a 1982 British live-action/animated film directed by Alan Parker. he movie greatly aids in understanding the Album and fills is many details visually, If you can locate it, it's well worth the time it takes to watch it. As far as approaching experiencing their work, that's a deeper question. Every Studio Album Pink Floyd released, at least after Syd Barret left as front man, Are complete stories, and really need to heard from beginning to end. You can pick and choose certain songs, but you be left with a lot of, "What was that about?" Additionally, a somewhat larger and less well defined storyline is woven throughout the bands releases over the years. So going back to at least the 'Wish you Were Here' album and working forward is also recommended. I hear the learning curve for Pink Floyd fandom and brain surgery are about the same. Could I interest you in a scalpel? One word of warning, please take me seriously, listening to Pink Floyd music is psychoactive. Most music is able to alter brain chemistry. Floyd does this in spades. Pink Floyd music's effects will affect you. After you hear it you can not unhear it, and you will be different. Love the vids, keep up the great work.
Nice reaction to part of the movie ❤
The phone ringing at the end was the movie continuing on, leading to the next song. Their albums are not separate songs! They are chapters of a story
Thank you for appreciating Pink Floyd ❤
You HAVE to make a special reaction to The Wall... it is beyond words.... trust me
Love your reactions, very honest and real. You are listening to the best blues-rock guitar player Mr. David G. Keep running with this you won't be disappointed ✌️
I remember school was like this in the 70's when I went to school in England. It's like military boot camp, they take away the individuality to make everyone think as one. It was a whole movie.
As a 15/16 year old when this came out, it was amazing. In my school, the Class of 1980 voted it as their Class Song, the Administration denied them that right. They picked something else, but it is their unofficial Class Song still today, lol.
This album changed our young lives when it came out for sure...
Diane, good on you for doing this. It brings me joy to see someone experience this for the first time. Like living it again. Bravo
glad we could hang out thanks Diane, your smile and Chewie made my day.
Us too!
Everyone is at a different place on the musical journey. It's all good. Enjoyed your reaction.
There are so many great Pink Floyd songs to react to, and though many insist on doing whole albums (which I get and even sympathize with), it's still great to see someone discovering this music and reacting to it. Many of us came to Pink Floyd through radio singles and from there the albums, so if you do songs here and there, you'd be giving us our radio days again. "The Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" is as deep as any of their songs. From this album, "Comfortably Numb" and "Hey You" are probably the other big two--along with live versions of "Run Like Hell." I saw your reaction to "Time," by the way, so I appreciate your taking time to look into this band!
This is the album that got me hooked on Pink Floyd. I was 11 or 12 when this album came out. This particular song on this album was my favorite but the whole album was great. The movie was great also
Hi Diane. Thx for doing another Pink Floyd reaction! Watching "Comfortably Numb" from the "Pulse" live concert video is a good one with much beautiful effects.
The poem the teacher read was the lyrics from a song called "Money" off their world record setting album "The Darkside of the Moon". The album was on the top 200 for over 950 weeks.
was subjected to a particularly vicious public insult by a teacher in my senior year of HS and this song reminds me of it every time I hear it wonder what things Waters had to endure back that inspired such a unique gem
I was 16 when The Wall came out and had just started getting into Pink Floyd in 1977. I had Dark Side Of The Moon and then got into Wish You Were Here and Animals before The Wall came out and knew that they were telling the story of Syd Barrett and his life.
In 1978 or early 1979, I had a shortwave radio and managed to find a BBC station that had an interview with Roger Waters discussing The Wall before it was released and he explained a lot of went into creating The Wall. It was a very interesting interview.
As others have said, those four albums need to be listened to in their entirety and in order to get the full effect of Syd's story with The Wall being the culmination.
Also as others have noted, this is just a segment of the movie, and while it's good on it's own, seeing the movie tells the whole story. Bob Geldof was brilliant in the lead role. You need to take a deep breath before watching the movie because it's going to take you on a ride deep into someone that is falling into a deep dark area of the mind.
The wall. Omg your going to love this whole album!
I"m glad you're enjoying Pink Floyd, Diane. They're a great group with quite an interesting discography. Their earlier albums are very much in the psychedelic / experimental genre. Dark Side of the Moon ushered in a more accessible sound but always complex, thought provoking and different from any of main stream rock band.
You should check out the song "One of These Days" off of the Meddle album. Great stuff.
Diane. Great reaction. I love your Irish, west Country accent. You are a celt and you appreciate art.
The look on your face when the music really got started was amazing... Welcome to Pink Floyd :)
Hi Diane, I know I'm late on this video but still want to leave a comment since you had asked hkw Pink Floyd performed this song. I was fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd in concert around 1984 and for this song had like four robots rolled out with red lazer eyes. The lazers danced and projected through the crowd, and since it was a baseball stadium and it had rained all that day, the sky was filled with clouds and the lazers just light them up, it's an amazing memory I have. 🤟
Easiest way to do Pink Floyd is to start with videos from The Wall. Compact vignettes with lots of emotional power. They stand by themselves and integrate into a package.
You are an absolute pleasure to watch/listen to. And you pick great songs!
Wow. Close your eyes when the visuals are MOST IMPORTANT.
Amazing Band. My parents are former hippies so this is one of the bands i grew up with. Love it.
The movie is a must see. Gives you the full experience of all that is pink(FLOYD)
Pure classic film and I remember blowing on my hand after having it hit at school back in the day
This tune got the most radio love than any other track.
I'm sure you've been told to watch the movie a hundred times by now. Do it, you won't regret it.
