I first heard this as a teenager. Then I was busy, busy, busy having a great time and before I knew it I was late 20's. I blinked a few times and I was late 30's. Then late 40's. Holy shit, what was happening? Then again when I was late 50's. Every single time I heard it, it meant something different to me. Now I'm late 60's and, while I'm not warming my bones before the fire, I can hear those church bells tolling out for funerals as my friends are dropping life flies. Damn, where has all the time gone? Cheers. Pink Floyd fan for life!
Amen to that! John Lennon once said: "Life is what happens while we're busy making other plans." I thought Wow, now he understands?! Then Pink Floyd threw this one out there and it was at this point that I assumes every one must be aware of this "Time" phenomenon. For some reason I believed that the Akipping Away of Time was only happening to me, up to that point?! Please, live your life as though Time were your most precious commodity... because it is! Want Proof? Okay, well, you will never get that second, that just past, back again... or that one either... or that one...or...
Yes, Time is the most iconic Pink Floyd song ever! Classic intro, Great tune, Incredible lyrics and One of the finest guitar solos of all times by David Gilmour!
The one thing I wish I could do all over again, is experience Pink Floyd for the first time. They have shaped my life since I was 10, it's been a great 4 decades.
Time is speeding up isn't it, Victor? I'm 64 yo, and I swear I was a new mother just yesterday. My son will be 45 in a few months. It's hard to fathom all of the time I just let slip through my fingers...💙😪
You hit the nail on the head. I’m 63 and time is something one does not want to waste. Tomorrow may not come. Appreciate every day you are given. Great band wonderful song. Thanks for sharing this with us all. 😎
At 11:38 you say: "i'm definitely gonna be doing more Pink Floyd, because they just open my eyes". This is perfect for two reasons, I love Pink Floyd and you have wonderful eyes.
@@pauladams3135 There is nothing wrong with telling the truth. I am not harassing or persecuting her by telling her that she has beautiful eyes. It's just a compliment.
I was lucky enough to have seen Pink Floyd in concert on their Division Bell Tour in 1994 which was their last tour as Pink Floyd. Let me set the scene. It was a misty evening at the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. As soon as the concert started, nobody seemed to care about the light rain falling as the laser lights cut through the misty sky and the quadraphonic sound filling the packed to capacity stadium. It took some time to recover emotionally from that concert as I'm sure it would a Nightwish concert. By far, the best concert I had ever seen in my lifetime. Thank you for that reaction. Now, just imagine seeing a full show.......
Time is the worst concept to apprehend. You think about the time you have left and it has already slipped through your fingers. I believe the best way is to live for the moment. Enjoy the present and don’t think too much about the past or the future. Pink Floyd is my favorite band and you make the best reactions I’ve seen. Thank you so much! 😍
'So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again". Brilliant!!! Best storytellers in Rock history. Magical
How true that is. I'm 51, divorce, son turned 18 and moved out, had to leave my career recently as I have been diagnosed with a neurological disorder. Every morning I wake up alone have my coffee and think how did I get here. Make through the day, go to bed alone. Wake up in disbelief that this really is my life now. It's good that my son is finding his own in the world and I am happy for him. But I still wake up every morning to dead silence... Nobody knows when things can change. It isn't one massive change, it is a slow series of events and then you realize that everything slipped through your fingers..... Any single mum's out there please remember to take care of yourself, develop hobbies make friends even if babysitters are expensive and don't believe that your career is you it was what you once did. It ends. Maybe I should have settled to have less of a demanding career thinking I would make our lives easier. All I invested in was my career and my son's life. I remember when he was born thinking, what a bittersweet relationship you have with your child: it is the only relationship you have where you work towards preparing them to Leave and move on as a healthy adult, that's the goal....it is what it is meant to be. I forgot to prepare myself to be left alone ,I should have invested more time on myself, it felt like there just wasn't enough time and that I was being selfish. I wish I had had a older woman mentor that could have warned me or at least quietly remind me. Ends are just beginnings that haven't started yet. I will find my footing when the shock wears off. :-)
@@joaocardoso8453 yeah ,The Beatles influenced a lot and contributed a lot to the music industry but i think pink floyd overtook them with their own creativity and unique sonic experimentation....
@@joaocardoso8453 there is Pink Floyd and there is the rest of them. After Pink Floyd you can argue who is the best. The Beatles,The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin etc etc. But if we can be impartial with music then we can say that the combination between music and lyrics in Pink Floyd's creation is more complete than any other band or even solo artist ever. But I know it's a really matter of taste at the end.
Smart girl,very good reaction👌🏻. Pink floyd are my childhood’s soundtrack (I was born in the early 80’s),their impact on human ears,body,mind and soul is second to none…🎶❤️🎶
I'm 64. This song was released when I was 16. After 48 years and hearing a lot of different bands playing a lot of different music, I still consider Pink Floyd the best band ever! The music is timeless, The message deep and the feeling is awesome.
This album blew the music industry apart. It came out just as people were getting to hear recorded music in stereo for the first time and Pink Floyd decided to use it fully. Nobody had heard such incredible soundscapes before. I can remember when the first CD players went on sale that when people went into the shop and asked to hear what this amazing new clarity sounded like they almost always asked to hear Dark Side Of The Moon played.
This song, one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs of all-time, really should be listened to with the Great Gig in the Sky. The whole album Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album ever made.....should listen to the whole album straight through. It Never Gets Old!
Time is precious, yes. What I took away from this song was to make sure you do not miss the starting gun in your life. What that is, will be different for everyone.
A few years ago, when Pink Floyd were remixing Dark Side for true 5.1, David Gilmore stated, that the stereo version of Dark Side that we have known for years, is actually three (3) generations down. Which means engineer Alan Parsons filled up one 2-inch, 16-track tape, then mixed that tape to two open tracks on a second 2-inch, 16-track tape then, filled then that tape with overdubs, then mixed the second tape to two open tracks on a third 2-inch, 16-track tape and filled that third tape with overdubs, then mixed that third tape to the two channel (stereo) master we have today. That's when I realized why Alan Parsons has won so many awards.
@@willasacco9898 Every Pink Floyd album should be listened to from start to finish. It's always a story and the meaning of life can be found in the lyrics. The awesome music 🎶 is a bonus 😎
If you don't already know that's technically two songs. Time and breath reprise but they flow into one another so well. Basically straight after he sings "The song is over. Thought I'd something more to say" is the start of breath reprise.
From this old Metal Head , Pink Floyd is the Master of guiding your emotional experiences thru each song & melodies and although you are aware of feeling each emotion your in awe on how they brought you there. Good luck on your journey. I know you did Comfortably Numb studio version, check out it live Pulse concert 1994. Rock On Stay Safe!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
At 63 years of age, I obviously had this song in my life when I was young.... and prosperous.... and full of hope..... and had enormous headphones..... I saw “that look” throughout the song as you were listening. To me, the best reaction ever.
Thank you for sharing and explaining exactly the messages that the greatest Rock Band Delivers. I enjoy listening and seeing your beautiful face from all of Pink Floyd songs! One of my Favorites is "Learning to Fly!" All the way from Colorado U.S.A!
What you say about Time moving....is so true. I'm about to turn 57.....I wish I was only turning 27. Time flies by so fast. If there was one piece of advice i could give to my younger self, it's "make the most of your time...before you know, it's gone". Good review. Subbed.
You get it....I am now a fan of yours and I will sub to you. You say you are 23 years old ,I am 51 and every time I listen to this song it brings me to tears . Most people your age just hear the beat and dont care about the lyrics, to get this song you must relax and just listen and your eyes will be opened up to what you have missed. The time you have wasted because you can always do it tomorrow, sometimes tomorrow never comes. You get it and you got the message,I bet you may start living your life a little differently.
Your assessment is spot on, 20 yrs you will be contemplating the relevance to your own life experience. It's like a fine wine, it gets better with age.
Good morning Darlin. Depending on where you are in life this can be the most impactful song. I love your reaction. Part of the beauty of Pink Floyd is there is something that relates to wherever you are in life
@@1221tesla With Floyd that is a given. To me it is very interesting how. Syd was the writer then we had an aimless period When Roger matured to move into the writing role than when he left David had to put off his issues to do the same. I like basically all 4 era's The aimless time doesn't get the respect it deserves some of my favorite songs come from More and Atom heart mother and of course Meddle. Though I listen to them all(even Final cut)
@@jphillipsjwp I agree, all 4 stages offer something and it’s something different. Even if some of it sounds remotely the same, it is so different. Honestly I just started digging into the Syd years about a year ago. It’s pretty damn impressive
@@1221tesla It is in some ways. It is one of those things where you can see the greatness about to happen but did not get there. It ended up being the driving force to push the band in a different direction later. In some ways, he went from the driving force in Pink Floyd to the inspiration of Pink Floyd. I have listened to Syd's solo stuff I couldn't really get into it I need to set some time for another go at it.
This person gets it. Some people who react to this song say that nothing is happening in the first few minutes and they're waiting for the song to start. However, this person is listening to everything. Great reaction. Thank you for doing it. Hope you do more Pink Floyd reactions in the future. There's "Dogs" .... Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) and (Part VI - IX) I would suggest staying away from "Official Videos" or "Live Versions" to start for those three. Just studio so every note is authentic Pink Floyd perfect.
This song is so deep but also so simple. Just pointing out the fact that time is something we never get back and every year gets shorter. As you age and come back to this song, the more it resonates. It's kinda depressing in a way.
When you’re young you think you will live forever and you chill and party and you never think you’re going to die. But as you get into work and life and routines you suddenly look up and wonder where all the years went.But the thing is, as you age time seems to get shorter and the days faster. When I was a kid a year seemed like an aeon, now it seems like a minute. Then you get old and the only things left is ‘warming your bones beside the fire’. I am 54 and only started to appreciate the meaning of this song as I aged. Each one of us is a unique creature and we all should think about each other more, not as adversaries but fellow travellers in a life that we have no knowing how we came to be and what will happen to us when we are no more. So, I am trying to share kindness as much as possible with others because we don’t do it enough. Just my thoughts 😊
This is my girl...you spoke everything in your introduction to the video and the lyrics of this wonderful theme...Time...today always a Pink Floyd fan I find myself 60 years old and it seems that yesterday I was 23 years old... so pure, so filtered and realistic this letter. Girl enjoy what you just heard is the faithful reality of this life that consumes us all the time that people your age think is even left. Good luck !!!
It's good to have another Welsh Pink Floyd fan. I was born when DSOTM was released and this song means everything in life. Take care my dear friend 🏴 🏴 🏴
The bunch of alarm clocks at the begining is your personal starting gun. Life is now and time is short. Run like hell to live. Thanks for great reaction and explanation.
Every word that is written in this song make one think within their very LIFE , what we care about , what we do with our TIME , and why do we believe in a social structure that has LONG FAILED US , now what can we do , what must we CHANGE ????
Including the whole of DSOTM. That is still an epic show, and with their projection onto the circular screen behind them, the first use I know of that could be described as a video wall. It set the standard, and was completely unmatched for years.
You're never wrong in your interpretation of a song. It's what you perceive it to be. You thought what I thought, I'm older and time starts accelerating the older you get. Days and weeks start flying by. This is what I think that this song is about.
Haha I love your reactions!!! It's fun watching you rock out. You almost seem surprised at some of these songs. Isnt Floyd amazing! It shocks me that you've never been exposed to this music
It is interesting seeing a British person react to a Pink Floyd song. Although their songs are all universal there is always a subtle British element running through their lyrics and music. Living in the US all my life, I am always fascinated to see reactions from the a perspective more similiar to the band members themselves when they wrote these songs
@@NorwayMan36 Gdansk is a very underrated concert but... I miss Nick Mason in it and therefore do not recommend it as a Pink Floyd reaction. Having said that it is the best interaction between Gilmour and Wright on Echoes, Though Pompeii has the best drumming of any versions of that.
@@NorwayMan36 I love the whole "Live from Gdansk" concert. Outside of the live PULSE concert from 1994 it's probably my favorite Pink Floyd concert. David Gilmour just keeps on truckin'!! And if I'm not mistaken, it was Richard Wright's last live performance...??....
I first heard this song when I was 15, 55 now. There is a line in the song that is so true, when 10 years drop behind you. One of a few things you can't buy or give away is time,
The 60s and 70s in UK were amazing. At the time I just accepted it without much thought. But behind the great bands and songs, was a massive technological change, valves to transistors to microchips which had a huge impact on sound engineering. Stereo alone, changed a huge amount simply the cost came down enough for people to buy "stereos".
i so understand how you react on this song and even after maybe 50 times listening or more over all those years . the music and lyrics moves me. i remember when i bought the record in 1972 .wait until my friends were there and then we listened for the first time and react just like you . thank you for the memory
I was about your age when this song was recorded. You need to watch this with the lyrics. Heed the words. I’m now in my 60’s and played this song all these years and getting older. Time passes so fast.😩
Just came across your reaction videos. Thank you for not stopping the song in the middle, like so many others do. The tempo changes so often you need to experience the song as a whole.
The clock segment was all coordinated by hand. The clocks were set off by 4 people working together. This was done with much older technology and you couldn't program much at all. Impeccably produced.
You did an excellent job breaking this song down. You captured the essence and everyone who says that the song gains meaning over time is 100% correct. Well done.
I love it when the reactor actually GETS the songs like this one. It is deep and it is important, and it is really obvious when someone doesn't get it . I think you deserve to hit your goal and hopefully exceed it too.
I HEARD THIS BACK IN 71-72, and promptly went to the record store and played the album until it sounded like bacon fry! Now I have the remastered CD. 50 yrs have come and gone but I still have the poster of the pyramids that came in the original album!
As long as you are enjoying yourself, you are not wasting your time. Just remember that nobody on their deathbed wish they had worked more and spent less time with people they love or doing fewer things they enjoy.
George Bernard Shaw said, "Youth is wasted on the young". It was so easy to piss away my 20s. Now I'm 56 and I look at "old" people and realize that they're my age. I listen to a "new" song and realize that it's 25 years old. I think about something that happened a few years ago and realize that it has been 15 years since it happened. It goes so fast - and accelerates geometrically. Start living now. I think about being 23 and it seems like yesterday.
The intro is the moments that make up a dull day ;) Classic PF. Language on another level. From cradle (waking up with the alarm clocks), to the grave, (tolling of the iron bell). The only control you have is what you do with it in the moments between these two things.
You nailed it ;) Pink Floyd got me through my teenage years (The Delicate Sound of Thunder) and through business school (The Division Bell). New sub, BTW :)
great gig in the sky is really the conclusion of the song and should be part of the listening. Lyrically they draw your emotions in and then musically pull them apart. No other band can do that like PF
Wonderful. Just wonderful. I can see you up on stage with them as one of the three girls who all move in time with this great music. You feel the music and glad I stumbled upon your channel. I will check back for more Floyd!
One of my favorites from Pink Floyd, love the guitar solos maybe even more than those Comfortably Numb. Of course i also knew this song a few years longer 😉 And then there is of course the tease of what will come in "Great Gig In The Sky"
You are such a sweet girl, may i kiss your cheek? And Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece of classic rock! Their earlier work were much more psychedelic and spacey, but also great in their own right. On DSotM i actually like "Any Colour You Like" the most, for that reason being spacey and yet also very harmonic still! You ought to hear their album "Division Bell" from 1994, also! That one is easier to access, but still withkeeping their old sound and style! Cheers to all Floydies and may Richard Wright rest in peace! -Sanctus Laurentius
I love how you nailed the interpretation of the song at the end. To me, this song is birth to near death. The chimes are birth. By C The ticking is learning to crawl, walk, etc “Digging around on a price of ground in your home town” is being a kid “Waiting for someone or something to show you the way” Becoming an adult. Finding a job to be stable. Figuring out your so called purpose. “Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time” being an adult. Being responsible maybe, or just wasting away. “You run and you run to catch up to the sim but it’s sinking” Realizing you are getting old and death is inevitable. Trying to make something of yourself to secure your legacy. Catching up to not dying a failure. “Home, home again” Turning back time and spending it with family. Enjoying what’s left before it’s gone and you are just a memory soon to be lost in time by generations of your brethren. I just turned 42 and the night before my birthday I realized I am about half way to the end. It’s both sweet and painful. I am married with 3 lovely children. I just hope I make it another 42 to be there for them and experience what my parents got to see with me. Lots of emotion in this song. Lots of ways it makes you think. This is why this record is so great.
This song comes from one of the 2 best rock operas of the 70s, Dark Side of the Moon. (other rock opera is Quadrophenia-Who). This song leads into another banger called Great Gig in the Sky. The entire album was meant to be listened to start to finish but Time and Gig in the Sky are particularly connected. Try listening to Time and Gig back to back sometime.
Yours is the most perceptive reaction to this classic by a young person on TH-cam I've seen yet - and there are MANY to choose from! You just made a subscriber out of this old music freak - please keep up the good work!
This is an album that needs to be listened to from beginning to end, laid back, headphones on and your mind clear. I've been listening to it for 45+ years and it never gets old. Good choice young lady!
We all know this. I see this comment on every reaction. That is how I listen to Floyd. This push to have reactors react to albums just frustrated them and they stop reacting to Pink Floyd. I know one I watch that was doing the Wall in order one song per upload when she broke up the happiest days and the wall part 2 she got so much negativity she stopped the project.
@@jphillipsjwp I didn't understand which side you are on. There are fools who neither understand the meaning of Concept Album nor that "it is appropriate" to follow repeated and generalized advice, and there are people who are open-minded and "learn" something new from those with more experience. More likely you see these videos only as "a job" and therefore you are one of those who take homologation to the lowest common denominator for granted ... which in this case leads to less culture ... with the sole purpose of participating in mediocre profits of a consumerist system that for decades and decades has been degrading all forms of culture.
@@Enrico.Sbardolini My opinion is I listen to the whole album. I would like Tghe reactor to listen to the whole thing also. Though I understand why they don't. The amount of work that gets put into recording and editing even reactions is more than you think. Nobody does reactions as a job there is no money in it. I don't feel people should jump on a reactor with "listen to the whole album", "you listen to it wrong", who are any of us to judge anyone else's listening prefrence.
@@jphillipsjwp This is my usual comment (only to reactions to Pink Floyd songs and only if I believe the person can understand and improve): You are very wrong considering "listening preferences" what instead is lack of culture (Know-how). Nowadays hardly anyone knows what an Album is, let alone how a vinyl LP was conceived in an era when the 2 distinct sides did not even reach half an hour. Furthermore, pretending to listen to anything for the first time and then to know it and to understand it to the point of "explaining" it to others, is really the maximum deviation from common sense. "At the time", certainly due to the limitations of communication, before LPs and singles arrived in stores they listened to them on the radio and listened to and read reviews and interpretations. There was no possibility that "enormities of nonsense thought by incompetents" would cripple both the masterpiece and even the unassuming songs. On the fact that those who produce reactions do not gain, obviously you do not know that there are those who know how to do it and who cannot. Even the reaction to an entire album is more and more often made on PATREON and, therefore, for the SOLE PURPOSE of making a profit. (sorry for my poor english)
@@Enrico.Sbardolini I do not feel I am wrong at all. The band(and solo members) do not perform the albums as a while as a general rule. They also bow to time and production constraints. As a rule I listen to the albums as a whole unless I "need" to hear a certain thing. I also would certainly not consider Obscured or anything earlier in this light. I also would not consider the final cut so. I rarely listen to it at all and once in a while the Gunners Dream or Not now John.(or rerelease when the tigers Broke Free), but that is more of a Waters Solo then a Pink Floyd album. I am against anyone telling anyone else how they should listen to Floyd If someone wants to digest a bite at a time so be it. If they want a full feast have at it. Either way it feeds the soul.
You got it! Such a superb piece of music. As you get older time absolutely flies, one gathers so many, many regrets. Things you should have done, things you wish you had done! Trust me, I am 69, they can keep you awake! I had no idea that I would end here and had no aim to do so either. Looking back I can see where a little thought would have changed the outcome. Anyone to blame ? Oh yeah, me, I thought I had all the time in the world! I thought I could repair the damage in my own time but my time was not their time. Ah, the arrogance of youth, wasted on the young! Please remember that each decision will have repercussions that affect many people. I am not advising forgetting to enjoy yourself, this is the time, but give thought to your decisions regarding relationships. If it does not feel "right" then it probably is not. If it does - take care of your heart but take a chance. Only You will know! Enjoy your life and may not a bad word enter it.
Nothing makes me feel better than seeing the younger generation discover pink floyd, like we did
Thats true
Well… I don’t think she was tripping balls like I was.
Only 50 years and multiple generations later
Believe me, the older you get the more this song penetrates your soul:
I must add- You got this song, perfectly. Amazing reaction. Keep on rocking.
Great, spot on reaction. Thanks 👍
Exactly. The less time you have left, the more this song resonates.
Yep. It’s meaning is more poignant to me at 65 than it was when I heard it in college in 1974. Shorter of breath is a reality.
Yep. Been listening to it since it came out. Now I'm just hanging on in quiet desperation.
I first heard this as a teenager. Then I was busy, busy, busy having a great time and before I knew it I was late 20's. I blinked a few times and I was late 30's. Then late 40's. Holy shit, what was happening? Then again when I was late 50's. Every single time I heard it, it meant something different to me. Now I'm late 60's and, while I'm not warming my bones before the fire, I can hear those church bells tolling out for funerals as my friends are dropping life flies. Damn, where has all the time gone? Cheers. Pink Floyd fan for life!
Same happend to me. I am 60. Heart this first time when I was 15 years old. How Pink made this when they were only in there 20s.
Amen to that! John Lennon once said: "Life is what happens while we're busy making other plans." I thought Wow, now he understands?! Then Pink Floyd threw this one out there and it was at this point that I assumes every one must be aware of this "Time" phenomenon. For some reason I believed that the Akipping Away of Time was only happening to me, up to that point?! Please, live your life as though Time were your most precious commodity... because it is! Want Proof? Okay, well, you will never get that second, that just past, back again... or that one either... or that one...or...
Yep, in my 60s as well. I feel blessed to wake up every day, whereas before I never thought about it.
Days gone by
Same here, friend
I truly believe that 100 years from now, people will look back on Pink Floyd the way we look back on Mozart and Beethoven!
They certainly deserve it! So many transcendent masterpieces, we’re spoiled to have been alive at the time they were brought to life!
Mozart and Beethoven were Pink Floyd before electricity. Cheers....
one of the greatest songs ever written, produced, performed, and recorded in history....Brilliant
Yes, Time is the most iconic Pink Floyd song ever! Classic intro, Great tune, Incredible lyrics and One of the finest guitar solos of all times by David Gilmour!
@@diegoandres5306 Yes, you are right, Comfortably Numb is another great track with mind boggling guitar solos by David Gilmour !
The one thing I wish I could do all over again, is experience Pink Floyd for the first time. They have shaped my life since I was 10, it's been a great 4 decades.
Stated well, every time you hear the same songs you've heard for 40 years it becomes more and more relevant. That's how it was designed, true genius.
6 here. Indeed. All the best. Always.
"Time is precious" As a 60 year old man i got to tell you have no idea how much is. Keep Floydian.
Time is speeding up isn't it, Victor? I'm 64 yo, and I swear I was a new mother just yesterday. My son will be 45 in a few months. It's hard to fathom all of the time I just let slip through my fingers...💙😪
@@cinderellsworth Yes, it´s like this song becomes a curse, every year is getting shorter, plans never get, etc. Take care.
There is something missing in this comment to make it coherent, not a jab just want clarity
No-one told you when to run.
49 last month here. When I turn 50 think I might pull a Benjamin Button.
Time is everything. Glad you heard the song this way
Girlfriend!! I saw this live in 1973, Tampa Stadium, 16 years old!! BEST CONCERT IVE EVER SEEN...HANDS DOWN 💜🌟
You hit the nail on the head. I’m 63 and time is something one does not want to waste. Tomorrow may not come. Appreciate every day you are given. Great band wonderful song. Thanks for sharing this with us all. 😎
At 11:38 you say: "i'm definitely gonna be doing more Pink Floyd, because they just open my eyes".
This is perfect for two reasons, I love Pink Floyd and you have wonderful eyes.
What a cheesy thing to say lol STALKER ALERT !
@@pauladams3135 There is nothing wrong with telling the truth.
I am not harassing or persecuting her by telling her that she has beautiful eyes. It's just a compliment.
@@thepragmatic6383 tell that to the judge lol
Smooth.
Smooth but SIMP uwu
I was lucky enough to have seen Pink Floyd in concert on their Division Bell Tour in 1994 which was their last tour as Pink Floyd. Let me set the scene. It was a misty evening at the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. As soon as the concert started, nobody seemed to care about the light rain falling as the laser lights cut through the misty sky and the quadraphonic sound filling the packed to capacity stadium. It took some time to recover emotionally from that concert as I'm sure it would a Nightwish concert. By far, the best concert I had ever seen in my lifetime. Thank you for that reaction. Now, just imagine seeing a full show.......
Time is the worst concept to apprehend. You think about the time you have left and it has already slipped through your fingers. I believe the best way is to live for the moment. Enjoy the present and don’t think too much about the past or the future. Pink Floyd is my favorite band and you make the best reactions I’ve seen. Thank you so much! 😍

Believe me, the older you get the faster time seems to pass, and before you know it its too late. Enjoy your life and live to the full while you can.
Yes, before you know 10 years has got behind you and no one told you when to run, I missed the starting gun!
Think Pink 💖
True words. 🏴
before you know it, the song is over
How true that is. I'm 51, divorce, son turned 18 and moved out, had to leave my career recently as I have been diagnosed with a neurological disorder.
Every morning I wake up alone have my coffee and think how did I get here. Make through the day, go to bed alone. Wake up in disbelief that this really is my life now.
It's good that my son is finding his own in the world and I am happy for him. But I still wake up every morning to dead silence...
Nobody knows when things can change. It isn't one massive change, it is a slow series of events and then you realize that everything slipped through your fingers.....
Any single mum's out there please remember to take care of yourself, develop hobbies make friends even if babysitters are expensive and don't believe that your career is you it was what you once did. It ends. Maybe I should have settled to have less of a demanding career thinking I would make our lives easier. All I invested in was my career and my son's life.
I remember when he was born thinking, what a bittersweet relationship you have with your child: it is the only relationship you have where you work towards preparing them to Leave and move on as a healthy adult, that's the goal....it is what it is meant to be.
I forgot to prepare myself to be left alone ,I should have invested more time on myself, it felt like there just wasn't enough time and that I was being selfish. I wish I had had a older woman mentor that could have warned me or at least quietly remind me.
Ends are just beginnings that haven't started yet. I will find my footing when the shock wears off. :-)

The greatest band of all time...
One of...
Sorry. I love Pink Floyd and especially David Gilmour...but....have you heard of a band called..THE BEATLES? 😊😊😎😎
@@joaocardoso8453 yeah ,The Beatles influenced a lot and contributed a lot to the music industry but i think pink floyd overtook them with their own creativity and unique sonic experimentation....
The Best band ever....
@@joaocardoso8453 there is Pink Floyd and there is the rest of them. After Pink Floyd you can argue who is the best. The Beatles,The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin etc etc. But if we can be impartial with music then we can say that the combination between music and lyrics in Pink Floyd's creation is more complete than any other band or even solo artist ever.
But I know it's a really matter of taste at the end.
Smart girl,very good reaction👌🏻. Pink floyd are my childhood’s soundtrack (I was born in the early 80’s),their impact on human ears,body,mind and soul is second to none…🎶❤️🎶
Very good take on the song.
I'm 64. This song was released when I was 16. After 48 years and hearing a lot of different bands playing a lot of different music, I still consider Pink Floyd the best band ever! The music is timeless, The message deep and the feeling is awesome.
Want some deep meaning music check out Porcupine tree, very Floyd sounding, start with Russia on Ice.
This album blew the music industry apart. It came out just as people were getting to hear recorded music in stereo for the first time and Pink Floyd decided to use it fully. Nobody had heard such incredible soundscapes before. I can remember when the first CD players went on sale that when people went into the shop and asked to hear what this amazing new clarity sounded like they almost always asked to hear Dark Side Of The Moon played.
This song, one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs of all-time, really should be listened to with the Great Gig in the Sky. The whole album Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album ever made.....should listen to the whole album straight through. It Never Gets Old!
I've listened to that entire album at least once a month for literally decades now.
Time is precious, yes. What I took away from this song was to make sure you do not miss the starting gun in your life. What that is, will be different for everyone.
A few years ago, when Pink Floyd were remixing Dark Side for true 5.1, David Gilmore stated, that the stereo version of Dark Side that we have known for years, is actually three (3) generations down. Which means engineer Alan Parsons filled up one 2-inch, 16-track tape, then mixed that tape to two open tracks on a second 2-inch, 16-track tape then, filled then that tape with overdubs, then mixed the second tape to two open tracks on a third 2-inch, 16-track tape and filled that third tape with overdubs, then mixed that third tape to the two channel (stereo) master we have today. That's when I realized why Alan Parsons has won so many awards.
always listen to The great gig in the sky, right after!
A must - Of course, one should listen to the whole album from start to finish, in one take.
@@willasacco9898 Every Pink Floyd album should be listened to from start to finish. It's always a story and the meaning of life can be found in the lyrics. The awesome music 🎶 is a bonus 😎
If you don't already know that's technically two songs. Time and breath reprise but they flow into one another so well. Basically straight after he sings "The song is over. Thought I'd something more to say" is the start of breath reprise.
It's "breathe" (verb), not the noun "breath".
Actually that's at the end of the reprise and just before Clare goes into Great Gig.
@@brewswillis9783 You may wanna have another listen. The end of the reprise is "...to hear the softly spoken magic spells" before Clare.
@@psbarrow That's what I stated, though abbreviated. Sorry for the confusion.
True .. breath is banger too
From this old Metal Head , Pink Floyd is the Master of guiding your emotional experiences thru each song & melodies and although you are aware of feeling each emotion your in awe on how they brought you there. Good luck on your journey. I know you did Comfortably Numb studio version, check out it live Pulse concert 1994. Rock On Stay Safe!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
"This is different!"
Indeed it is... indeed it is.
At 63 years of age, I obviously had this song in my life when I was young.... and prosperous.... and full of hope..... and had enormous headphones.....
I saw “that look” throughout the song as you were listening. To me, the best reaction ever.
Thank you for sharing and explaining exactly the messages that the greatest Rock Band Delivers. I enjoy listening and seeing your beautiful face from all of Pink Floyd songs! One of my Favorites is "Learning to Fly!" All the way from Colorado U.S.A!
What you say about Time moving....is so true. I'm about to turn 57.....I wish I was only turning 27. Time flies by so fast. If there was one piece of advice i could give to my younger self, it's "make the most of your time...before you know, it's gone". Good review. Subbed.
Spot on. Loved the summing up at the end. Great to see the current generation reacting to what I grew up with
The Floyd formula. Richard, Nick and Roger still your emotions. David directs them, then the words tell you what they mean.(sorry for the double post)
The beauty of Pink Floyd is that their lyrics change meaning as you go though the different stages of life. They are Timeless.
You get it....I am now a fan of yours and I will sub to you. You say you are 23 years old ,I am 51 and every time I listen to this song it brings me to tears . Most people your age just hear the beat and dont care about the lyrics, to get this song you must relax and just listen and your eyes will be opened up to what you have missed. The time you have wasted because you can always do it tomorrow, sometimes tomorrow never comes. You get it and you got the message,I bet you may start living your life a little differently.
"Sorrow", live at Pulse concert. A musical trance.
I love Sorrow. It rarley gets reacted to. That should get corrected.
Your assessment is spot on, 20 yrs you will be contemplating the relevance to your own life experience. It's like a fine wine, it gets better with age.
This is just about the best music you'll ever hear, and arguably the best song ever written.
Good morning Darlin. Depending on where you are in life this can be the most impactful song. I love your reaction. Part of the beauty of Pink Floyd is there is something that relates to wherever you are in life
One of the greatest songs written
@@1221tesla With Floyd that is a given. To me it is very interesting how. Syd was the writer then we had an aimless period When Roger matured to move into the writing role than when he left David had to put off his issues to do the same. I like basically all 4 era's The aimless time doesn't get the respect it deserves some of my favorite songs come from More and Atom heart mother and of course Meddle. Though I listen to them all(even Final cut)
@@jphillipsjwp I agree, all 4 stages offer something and it’s something different. Even if some of it sounds remotely the same, it is so different. Honestly I just started digging into the Syd years about a year ago. It’s pretty damn impressive
@@1221tesla It is in some ways. It is one of those things where you can see the greatness about to happen but did not get there. It ended up being the driving force to push the band in a different direction later. In some ways, he went from the driving force in Pink Floyd to the inspiration of Pink Floyd. I have listened to Syd's solo stuff I couldn't really get into it I need to set some time for another go at it.
@@jphillipsjwp I’ve been there, having to go back and taking the time to listen to something again to get a feel for it.
It's so good to see the current young generation groovin' on music like this that's 50 years old.
This person gets it. Some people who react to this song say that nothing is happening in the first few minutes and they're waiting for the song to start. However, this person is listening to everything. Great reaction. Thank you for doing it. Hope you do more Pink Floyd reactions in the future. There's "Dogs" .... Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) and (Part VI - IX) I would suggest staying away from "Official Videos" or "Live Versions" to start for those three. Just studio so every note is authentic Pink Floyd perfect.
With Pink Floyd you don't hear the music you feel it, especially David's guitar parts.
She is one of us now, there is us and them,
Pink Floyd is not just music, it's education and a mental and moral presence to follow life and have self-confidence.
This song is so deep but also so simple. Just pointing out the fact that time is something we never get back and every year gets shorter. As you age and come back to this song, the more it resonates. It's kinda depressing in a way.
When you’re young you think you will live forever and you chill and party and you never think you’re going to die. But as you get into work and life and routines you suddenly look up and wonder where all the years went.But the thing is, as you age time seems to get shorter and the days faster. When I was a kid a year seemed like an aeon, now it seems like a minute. Then you get old and the only things left is ‘warming your bones beside the fire’. I am 54 and only started to appreciate the meaning of this song as I aged. Each one of us is a unique creature and we all should think about each other more, not as adversaries but fellow travellers in a life that we have no knowing how we came to be and what will happen to us when we are no more. So, I am trying to share kindness as much as possible with others because we don’t do it enough. Just my thoughts 😊
You hit the theme here. As you get older, the years go by quicker and then you start to understand just how precious time is. Loved it!!!!!
I really dig how you sway and hold your head during this song, just like I did when I was 20 with my headphones on. I'm now 66 and it NEVER gets old.
This is my girl...you spoke everything in your introduction to the video and the lyrics of this wonderful theme...Time...today always a Pink Floyd fan I find myself 60 years old and it seems that yesterday I was 23 years old... so pure, so filtered and realistic this letter. Girl enjoy what you just heard is the faithful reality of this life that consumes us all the time that people your age think is even left. Good luck !!!
It's good to have another Welsh Pink Floyd fan. I was born when DSOTM was released and this song means everything in life.
Take care my dear friend 🏴 🏴 🏴
The bunch of alarm clocks at the begining is your personal starting gun. Life is now and time is short. Run like hell to live. Thanks for great reaction and explanation.
Every word that is written in this song make one think within their very LIFE , what we care about , what we do with our TIME , and why do we believe in a social structure that has LONG FAILED US , now what can we do , what must we CHANGE ????
Now see them live to Pulse concert 1994 .. Comfortably Numb = best live guitar solo .. coming back to life = 3 guitar solo ... High Hopes ... 😎👍
Definitely do that one
@@mikecurtis389 😎👍
Including the whole of DSOTM.
That is still an epic show, and with their projection onto the circular screen behind them, the first use I know of that could be described as a video wall. It set the standard, and was completely unmatched for years.
You're never wrong in your interpretation of a song. It's what you perceive it to be. You thought what I thought, I'm older and time starts accelerating the older you get. Days and weeks start flying by. This is what I think that this song is about.
Haha I love your reactions!!! It's fun watching you rock out. You almost seem surprised at some of these songs. Isnt Floyd amazing! It shocks me that you've never been exposed to this music
It is interesting seeing a British person react to a Pink Floyd song. Although their songs are all universal there is always a subtle British element running through their lyrics and music. Living in the US all my life, I am always fascinated to see reactions from the a perspective more similiar to the band members themselves when they wrote these songs
You definitely need to have ‘High Hopes’. Original Pink Floyd live. But also covered/tributed by Nightwish live at ‘End of an Era’
She does though that one is also a look back on your youth.
Live from Gdansk is the best vesion of High Hopes:))
@@NorwayMan36 Gdansk is a very underrated concert but... I miss Nick Mason in it and therefore do not recommend it as a Pink Floyd reaction.
Having said that it is the best interaction between Gilmour and Wright on Echoes, Though Pompeii has the best drumming of any versions of that.
@@NorwayMan36 I love the whole "Live from Gdansk" concert. Outside of the live PULSE concert from 1994 it's probably my favorite Pink Floyd concert. David Gilmour just keeps on truckin'!! And if I'm not mistaken, it was Richard Wright's last live performance...??....
I first heard this song when I was 15, 55 now. There is a line in the song that is so true, when 10 years drop behind you. One of a few things you can't buy or give away is time,
The 60s and 70s in UK were amazing. At the time I just accepted it without much thought. But behind the great bands and songs, was a massive technological change, valves to transistors to microchips which had a huge impact on sound engineering. Stereo alone, changed a huge amount simply the cost came down enough for people to buy "stereos".
Dark Side Of the Moon is the fourth best-selling album, worldwide, of ALL TIME. You just heard a small part of why.
What are the first three?
@@BenjWarrant If you are going by claimed sales:
1. Michael Jackson - Thriller
2. AC/DC - Back in Black
3. Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell
@@SuperVirus1978 Interesting. I would not have put _Back in black_ in the first ten.
i so understand how you react on this song and even after maybe 50 times listening or more over all those years . the music and lyrics moves me.
i remember when i bought the record in 1972 .wait until my friends were there and then we listened for the first time and react just like you .
thank you for the memory
SSSOOO CCCUUUTTTEEE!!! PINK FLOYD AND YOU. DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!!!
I was about your age when this song was recorded. You need to watch this with the lyrics. Heed the words. I’m now in my 60’s and played this song all these years and getting older. Time passes so fast.😩
Just came across your reaction videos. Thank you for not stopping the song in the middle, like so many others do. The tempo changes so often you need to experience the song as a whole.
The clock segment was all coordinated by hand. The clocks were set off by 4 people working together. This was done with much older technology and you couldn't program much at all. Impeccably produced.
Wise beyond your years! Love the reaction.
You did an excellent job breaking this song down. You captured the essence and everyone who says that the song gains meaning over time is 100% correct. Well done.
Nail on the head. And, every year that passes makes this song more poignant.
I love it when the reactor actually GETS the songs like this one. It is deep and it is important, and it is really obvious when someone doesn't get it .
I think you deserve to hit your goal and hopefully exceed it too.
I HEARD THIS BACK IN 71-72, and promptly went to the record store and played the album until it sounded like bacon fry! Now I have the remastered CD. 50 yrs have come and gone but I still have the poster of the pyramids that came in the original album!
As long as you are enjoying yourself, you are not wasting your time.
Just remember that nobody on their deathbed wish they had worked more and spent less time with people they love or doing fewer things they enjoy.
George Bernard Shaw said, "Youth is wasted on the young". It was so easy to piss away my 20s. Now I'm 56 and I look at "old" people and realize that they're my age. I listen to a "new" song and realize that it's 25 years old. I think about something that happened a few years ago and realize that it has been 15 years since it happened. It goes so fast - and accelerates geometrically. Start living now. I think about being 23 and it seems like yesterday.
The intro is the moments that make up a dull day ;) Classic PF. Language on another level. From cradle (waking up with the alarm clocks), to the grave, (tolling of the iron bell). The only control you have is what you do with it in the moments between these two things.
You nailed it ;) Pink Floyd got me through my teenage years (The Delicate Sound of Thunder) and through business school (The Division Bell). New sub, BTW :)
Time; the one thing you can never recover.
Great reaction. You're on the right track when you ask yourself theses important questions. And even more so when you can find your answer.
great gig in the sky is really the conclusion of the song and should be part of the listening. Lyrically they draw your emotions in and then musically pull them apart. No other band can do that like PF
Yep, awesome review your so right time by pink floyd..love your reviews of all your songs you do.👍🏾
David Gilmour on guitar. It's been said he doesn't use an amplifier...He plugs his guitar straight into your soul!
Wonderful. Just wonderful. I can see you up on stage with them as one of the three girls who all move in time with this great music. You feel the music and glad I stumbled upon your channel. I will check back for more Floyd!
One of my favorites from Pink Floyd, love the guitar solos maybe even more than those Comfortably Numb. Of course i also knew this song a few years longer 😉 And then there is of course the tease of what will come in "Great Gig In The Sky"
It's Your Girl. You were spot on with your analysis. The best I've heard yet in relation to the song.
Love your reaction. Pink Floyd , so deep.
You watched The Wall movie and are doing a reaction? AND reacting here to Time? It feels like my birthday. Thank you.🎼🎶🎵
Agreed.
You nailed your analysis! Make the most of every day you have!
Such a song!!! Says it all like it is!!!
Look on TH-cam at BLACK METAL BANDS hearing Pink Floyd
You are such a sweet girl, may i kiss your cheek? And Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece of classic rock! Their earlier work were much more psychedelic and spacey, but also great in their own right. On DSotM i actually like "Any Colour You Like" the most, for that reason being spacey and yet also very harmonic still! You ought to hear their album "Division Bell" from 1994, also! That one is easier to access, but still withkeeping their old sound and style! Cheers to all Floydies and may Richard Wright rest in peace! -Sanctus Laurentius
Bingo... Ya got it. I'm 60. Live on a sailboat. Saw this Live in Tampa 1973. Live life...Capt.Bob, SV ( Sailing Vessel) 27th Chance, Tampa Fl.
When you get to my age (75) you sit and wonder what the hell happened. How did it go so fast?
I'm 55 and I'm saying the same thing.
I'm 41 years old manhood since childhood.
Turning 60 in 2 weeks and have been listening to this since high school in the 70s.
You are absolutely gorgeous sweetie. Love ur accent. N ur channel. God bless you sweetheart muah 😘 ❤
I love how you nailed the interpretation of the song at the end. To me, this song is birth to near death.
The chimes are birth.
By C The ticking is learning to crawl, walk, etc
“Digging around on a price of ground in your home town” is being a kid
“Waiting for someone or something to show you the way” Becoming an adult. Finding a job to be stable. Figuring out your so called purpose.
“Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time” being an adult. Being responsible maybe, or just wasting away.
“You run and you run to catch up to the sim but it’s sinking” Realizing you are getting old and death is inevitable. Trying to make something of yourself to secure your legacy. Catching up to not dying a failure.
“Home, home again” Turning back time and spending it with family. Enjoying what’s left before it’s gone and you are just a memory soon to be lost in time by generations of your brethren.
I just turned 42 and the night before my birthday I realized I am about half way to the end. It’s both sweet and painful. I am married with 3 lovely children. I just hope I make it another 42 to be there for them and experience what my parents got to see with me.
Lots of emotion in this song. Lots of ways it makes you think. This is why this record is so great.
“Youth is the most beautiful thing in this world-and what a pity that it has to be wasted on children!”
This song comes from one of the 2 best rock operas of the 70s, Dark Side of the Moon. (other rock opera is Quadrophenia-Who). This song leads into another banger called Great Gig in the Sky. The entire album was meant to be listened to start to finish but Time and Gig in the Sky are particularly connected. Try listening to Time and Gig back to back sometime.
listen to this song 10 years from now
Pink Floyd..... teaching the virtue of musical patience to the youth of today which in the1970s was a given
The truth in this song isn’t even paid much attention to when you’re young. When you get older it hits you like a sledgehammer!
Pink Floyd - Set controls for the heart of the sun, Atom heart mother, Echoes, Shine on you crazy diamond
King Crimson - Epitaph, Starless
Yours is the most perceptive reaction to this classic by a young person on TH-cam I've seen yet - and there are MANY to choose from! You just made a subscriber out of this old music freak - please keep up the good work!
Пинк Флоид великая группа !!!!!!ИЧКЕРИЯ! !!!!!
This is an album that needs to be listened to from beginning to end, laid back, headphones on and your mind clear. I've been listening to it for 45+ years and it never gets old. Good choice young lady!
We all know this. I see this comment on every reaction. That is how I listen to Floyd. This push to have reactors react to albums just frustrated them and they stop reacting to Pink Floyd. I know one I watch that was doing the Wall in order one song per upload when she broke up the happiest days and the wall part 2 she got so much negativity she stopped the project.
@@jphillipsjwp
I didn't understand which side you are on.
There are fools who neither understand the meaning of Concept Album nor that "it is appropriate" to follow repeated and generalized advice, and there are people who are open-minded and "learn" something new from those with more experience.
More likely you see these videos only as "a job" and therefore you are one of those who take homologation to the lowest common denominator for granted ... which in this case leads to less culture ... with the sole purpose of participating in mediocre profits of a consumerist system that for decades and decades has been degrading all forms of culture.
@@Enrico.Sbardolini My opinion is I listen to the whole album. I would like Tghe reactor to listen to the whole thing also. Though I understand why they don't. The amount of work that gets put into recording and editing even reactions is more than you think. Nobody does reactions as a job there is no money in it. I don't feel people should jump on a reactor with "listen to the whole album", "you listen to it wrong", who are any of us to judge anyone else's listening prefrence.
@@jphillipsjwp
This is my usual comment (only to reactions to Pink Floyd songs and only if I believe the person can understand and improve):
You are very wrong considering "listening preferences" what instead is lack of culture (Know-how).
Nowadays hardly anyone knows what an Album is, let alone how a vinyl LP was conceived in an era when the 2 distinct sides did not even reach half an hour.
Furthermore, pretending to listen to anything for the first time and then to know it and to understand it to the point of "explaining" it to others, is really the maximum deviation from common sense.
"At the time", certainly due to the limitations of communication, before LPs and singles arrived in stores they listened to them on the radio and listened to and read reviews and interpretations. There was no possibility that "enormities of nonsense thought by incompetents" would cripple both the masterpiece and even the unassuming songs.
On the fact that those who produce reactions do not gain, obviously you do not know that there are those who know how to do it and who cannot.
Even the reaction to an entire album is more and more often made on PATREON and, therefore, for the SOLE PURPOSE of making a profit.
(sorry for my poor english)
@@Enrico.Sbardolini I do not feel I am wrong at all. The band(and solo members) do not perform the albums as a while as a general rule. They also bow to time and production constraints. As a rule I listen to the albums as a whole unless I "need" to hear a certain thing. I also would certainly not consider Obscured or anything earlier in this light. I also would not consider the final cut so. I rarely listen to it at all and once in a while the Gunners Dream or Not now John.(or rerelease when the tigers Broke Free), but that is more of a Waters Solo then a Pink Floyd album.
I am against anyone telling anyone else how they should listen to Floyd If someone wants to digest a bite at a time so be it. If they want a full feast have at it. Either way it feeds the soul.
You got it! Such a superb piece of music. As you get older time absolutely flies, one gathers so many, many regrets. Things you should have done, things you wish you had done! Trust me, I am 69, they can keep you awake!
I had no idea that I would end here and had no aim to do so either. Looking back I can see where a little thought would have changed the outcome.
Anyone to blame ? Oh yeah, me, I thought I had all the time in the world! I thought I could repair the damage in my own time but my time was not their time. Ah, the arrogance of youth, wasted on the young!
Please remember that each decision will have repercussions that affect many people. I am not advising forgetting to enjoy yourself, this is the time, but give thought to your decisions regarding relationships. If it does not feel "right" then it probably is not. If it does - take care of your heart but take a chance. Only You will know!
Enjoy your life and may not a bad word enter it.
