After listening to Time you said; "I've wasted half of my life not listening to Pink Floyd" what a perfect comment for this song... brilliant reaction...
I'm so thankful my dad introduced me to Pink Floyd as a little kid. Ai instantly fell in love and I've continued this with my daughters who also love them.
Same here. I was also won over by his genuine interest in the lyrics, and by the way he rewinds a bit after pausing the music. It's a win-win for him and the viewers.
I remember the first time I heard this I was 17 & 8months old !!! And every 10 years since I think about the first (time) I'm 63 & 8months again 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Agreed. I've liked a few of his videos too, but am now a new subscriber too. Keep up the Great Work Shaq. My vote would be for you to please do Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize.
This seriously had me sitting down, thinking about my early 20's, when I had the best time of my life. Good friends, good laughs, we lived hard and partied even harder. I'm now 37, all those friends and times are gone, a brief memory in the sands of time. I freaking miss you guys, we sure had a hell of a time. I just hope you're all doing well and haven't forgotten about me too. When our ride is over, I'll do my best to come find you.
You said that you feel like you wasted half of your life having not heard this song. You also said that you heard that this song makes more sense the older you get. Maybe you heard this song exactly when you needed to because a younger you may not have appreciated it as much as you do now. Great song and great video.
I'm in my 60s. The line: "Every year is getting shorter" is really true. I can't believe how quickly the years fly past. Most people of my age will say the same thing.
The brain assesses length/size/mass proportionally and in relation to other things. So when you’re 5 years old, a year is 20% of your life. When you’re 50, a year is 2% of your life. That’s why years seem shorter as you get older.
One can not listen to music without listening to the lyrics, IF the music contains lyrics, of course. I will never understand people not listening to lyrics, that is what the song is about after all.
@@OriginalPuro I mean, yes and no. I think the main thing about music, in my opinion is just to enjoy the sounds. Hence classical music, or listening to music in a foreign language. Though paying attention to the lyrics does add a level
@@pinkraven4402 no they aren't they are psyche rock. His solos are very blues driven though, like very much so. They're certainly more progressive than blues guitar but they're still made up out of the bones of blues licks and blues styling.
Watching you young bloods finding this is like finding it all over again you are bringing tears to my eyes..believe me you are in the well of inspiration and it is deep keep digging.
I know it’s kind of heart warming. I’m 36 and I’ve seen David Gilmour and Roger Waters on tour. I’m thankful to got to see them when I was in my twenties.
And its a well that never dries up no matter how much you drink from it, it keeps right on filling your cup back up. That's the beauty of it. Like now, I've listened to this kind of music my whole life, got it from my Dad. Both of myself and my Dad watch No Life Shaq and many other reaction videos of this music because for us its like hearing it all over again, exactly like you wrote. Just seeing other people get excites and enjoying the music that I have loved my whole life, 40 years, its a good feeling knowing younger people are listening to it as well.
This song truly is a masterpiece. The first part talks about youth. The second is your prime to middle age and the ending is the twilight years.. it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
I’ve never paid attention as much to the lyrics because the music is just SO good but when you finally listen to the lyrics especially of Pink Floyd’s songs, it makes almost every song their own beautiful masterpiece…
The Floyd are spiritual this song made me stop drinking alcohol 23 years ago, my daughter is 13 on Saturday and I will introduce this song into her life,
I totally agree pink floyd is spiritual. I have a spiritual experience every time I litsen to them , they have helped me as a soul remember who I truly am. Congratulations on you're sobriety, never give up or lose hope.
You dont just listen to Pink Floyd. You experience pink Floyd. If you want a life changing experience, lay in the dark and play the entire albums of either The Wall or Dark Side of the Moon. Bonus points if you're high as hell. Lol! Extra bonus points if you play them both in their entirety and back to back. I promise you will never be the same again.
danielle winkelspecht I remember about the 3rd time I got high a buddy popped in Dark Side of the Moon and I was just gone in the music. It felt like my brain opened up, that was 25 years ago and my perception of Pink Floyd changed from that day forward.
Very true! One of my greatest Floyd experiences was "Laser Floyd" in the '80s. Dark Side of the Moon blaring in a planetarium, on the reclining chairs , everyone high. Send shivers down my spine just thinking about it.
@@Ellen.G I had my first experience of this album at one of those laser shows too only I was on old school acid at the time. It was a life changing night.....
You literally described my first ever time hearing them. Someone told me to smoke a joint, put headphones on, close the curtains, turn off the lights and listen to Dark Side cover to cover. I was completely lost in it. He asked me what I thought of the album and word for word I said, "That's not an album, that's a life experience!"
The first time I listened to this album was also my first acid trip. Danielle is so absolutely right. I have never been the same, nor do I ever want to be.
We used to listen to Dark Side of the Moon at late night parties in the late 70s early 80s flaked out on the carpet after to many smokes(drugs)........... Great times.
"Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death." One of Pink Floyd's most poignant lines ever written. Glad you felt it the way it was intended to make you feel Coach! You get it!
"You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking" is the one that always gives me chills, but there's so many damn good lines in this song.
I'm 55 years old and I grew up with this stuff...love it and love watching your younger generation really appreciate old school...cheers brother...keep being inspired.
@alphadawn2015 lennon I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was like 6 years old with my Dad. These are the album of my Youth. Now I'm 20 and only now I've found some friends that appreciate this group and other Prog groups.
Dude, this tune is just one part of an album that was conceived as one whole work. You've GOT to listen to the whole Dark Side of the Moon album if you really want to appreciate Time.
Absolutely. DSM, WYWH, and Animals are all pieces to listen to as single, individual pieces of music. Almost like symphonies (I guess). You can listen to, and enjoy little bits, but the business aspects of recorded music forced the division of those albums into individual tracks. There is no gap between those tracks either.
The reaction was great and we're huge floyd fan too. Our first track "Inner dimensions" is out do check us out and I hope you all will like the song! th-cam.com/video/v20kKBgK8Hg/w-d-xo.html
I'm 80years old next year scary eh! Life is like a toilet roll, the closer you get to the end, the faster ìt goes...love PF I wonder how much TIME I've got .??....😎
Maybe you have just a next live, man. Nobody knows. So many people died already, those people were kids, males, females. Young, old, black and white, reach and poor, and all of us will be dead finally. I don't think it is possible to be, and next moment not to be at all, i think we have a complex scheme here, not so simple. Excuse my weak English. With all my respect.
My aunt was talking about how in 1977 when she was 17 she thought thought thought the year 2000 was space age future. I was born 99 and I have deep conversations with her. My daughter is two and will be my age in 2042 and it’s all so insane to think. I’ll be done with my youth by then and she will only be beginning. Time is a cruel beast
Honestly ... You surprised me. Seen a few of the different guys "listening to xx the first time". You are the first one I have seen trying to interprete the lyrics - even twisting them to your own age... "remember to live every day"... You are so right. Usually it makes me smile when I realise other people found greatness in Pink Floyd music... I've been listening and following for around 45 years. But this time the smile is extra big cause you even put your soul in and trying to dig the lyrics... That's cool, man. Wishing you a great life with lots of Floyd music after this :)
Check out some of his other vids. Hes genuinely curious and introspective. As a 24 year old it's cool seeing a grown man go through the same things I went though listening to these songs as a kid. Pink floyd literally expands your mind
Exactly what Syd had intended for each and every from the beginning. A huge thanks to Rodger, David and band for carrying it out after Syd was no longer present in his mind. I couldn't agree with you more friend. Greatest music of all time and I love watching others experience it and feeling it as it should be. Geniuses, Evey one of them.
@@Saboteur709 Cheers mate. There's a lot of good American music out there too, but I have to say the British rock bands that came with the British Invasion made some of my favourite music of all time.
I grew up in America but in the mids of my teen years really fell for and dove into the love for British bands, starting with the Beatles. The way I see it, American rock really embraces the joys of life. You can say Chuck Berry typifies this with all his songs about youth dilemma's like school, cars and approaching the opposite sex. This partially has to do with the economic high the States had in the 50's thru 70's. Meanwhile British rock was more about the everyday hardships of finding a job, finding your place, and basically fighting against the imposed social structures that curtailed the "don't haves" of the English population. Which is what those kids had to deal with, during the sixties mostly. That difference between American and British rock in the beginning made for very different types of rock bands. Americans have more rouge geniuses, I feel (Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground, Frank Zappa to name a few). The Brits having the more music concept changing bands (Beatles, Floyd, Led Zep, etc.). Of course I don't see this as the absolute truth on the matter. Just my two cents in the hat sort of speak.
TMI: I was 18 and on some heavy duty hallucinogens when I first really heard this song. 25 years later it still hits me the same way. Live life and love it... the days goes slow... the years fly by! ☝️
SHAQ. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on your reactions, not just analyzing the content, or dismissing it for not being in your style. It’s by and far the reason you should be and will be the best reaction channel. The songs brought me here, but YOU kept me here. That’s tough. Also, I’m sure you’ve already been told, BUT; once you’ve reacted to the Pink Floyd songs on this album individually, do yourself and your SOUL a huge favor and listen to this album, Dark Side of the Moon, all the way through in order without skipping. It’s made to be. Best album of all time, IMO. Thanks again, god bless, and keep doing great man
@@skanderfish3641 Shine On You Crazy Diamond is Gilmour at his finest, the tone he conjures from his Strat, is possibly the best ever, he can move mountains and people to tears.
This album came out when I was 16. I’m 64 and it’s still fresh and incredibly meaningful. The whole album is an experience and will mean different things as you get older. Still GOAT albums and will be 500 years from now . No one is like Pink Flood .
I was 16 when I first discovered this album in 1996 thanks to my dad. It shaped me in so many deep ways and such integral part of my youth. I’m so lucky to know Pink Floyd extensively and for them to be such a big part of my life. 🌈🖤
I was 17 when I bought this album when it was release in 1973. I heard and understood the meaning of this song and the entire album actually but now at 66 it really hits home for me. Tomorrow is not a given, make the most of everyday because it goes by quickly.
"You run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again". There is so much poetry in this song, and it doesn't have that many words. As an american with a TON of british friends, I have to second Mark Castellanos though. HAHAHA
@@markcastellanos9678 The English are so classy. But I'm American and desperation calls for LOUD. Like "Look out below, human coming in for a landing."
One of my favorite lines of this song is "the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older" like yeah relative to sun's age, on year passing isn't anything, but for us humans, its a long time
"the suspense is killing me" me: give it some.... Time.... also literally any solo by these guys are gonna hit you where you've never been hit before. there's a reason David Gilmour's solos have been labeled some of the best of all time. I suggest Comfortably Numb next, since it's one of their most popular songs and holds what has been called the best solo of all time.
I just found your channel today, and I binge watched like 6 or 7 videos. Watching you discover the music my pop played and loved is making me get the chills. Keep it up, SHAQ!
Shaq don't stop digging into Pink Floyd it only gets better from here. I can't suggest a song by them cause they are all so good. Thank you so much for reactions like this, you rock bro!
The best thing about this cd is if you have it on repeat, it’s a continuous cycle. The last song fades in the first song. Pink Floyd were geniuses at concept albums. Glad you get to experience them coach!
Yo man, I’ve been watching you for awhile now, and I really respect your opinion on the music you’ve been exposing yourself to. Bands like MetallicA, LED Zeppelin Black Sabbath and most of all Pink Floyd are at the core of who I am. Good music to me is what feelings sound like.
@@shadowxlink123 We were standing in line outside in the cold to get our Pink Floyd tickets in Winnipeg. This old man came up and asked me "Who is this Floyd guy"? I told him it's a band that will turn a 71 year old man into a 17 year old kid then i asked him if i could get him a ticket,then he gave me a peace sign and walked away.......IT WAS FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!!
I totally agree the songs by themselves don't do it proper justice. Its like only eating the onions when you got a Philly cheesteak right in front of you.
You run & you run to catch up with the sun but 🤔 it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind you again 🙈 You cant beat time 🤷♂️ this song is the sum of a life’s experience
I can’t say how much I appreciate how you appreciate music. You’re one of the very few reaction sites I watch. I enjoy watching you get exposed to some of my favorite music ever.
They are special toms for the drum kit called rototoms. They are usually just setup on a stand like cymbals are next to your kit where you can reach them.
I was born in 1963 and have been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 15 years old. I turn 60 in May. Pink Floyd's music becomes more relevant every day that passes. It really is about life's voyage to the ultimate ending we all face at some point.
Going to have to agree.. The Great Gig in the Sky is something unlike anything you have ever heard. It is the next song on the album, (Dark Side of the Moon) which is a masterpiece of an album. Nothing like it before or since. Do a little research on the song before you listen to it. No lyrics, but speaks volumes!!!
Unpopular opinion: Roger Waters wrote all the masterpieces. Syde's, Gilmour, Wright, and Mason's all thier lyrics were trash. I will admit Rogers sucked at playing instruments and vocals. Gilmour and Wright were very talented composers and vocalists.
SHaq, through your videos, I love ya, man. When you said "I'm listening for understanding", I felt an absolute sense that you genuinely meant it. This has fast become one of my favorite reaction channels.
precisely at 4:20 he has that moment everyone does when they hear "time" for the first time. That moment you realize how heavy, how profound this master piece is...
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time... The time is gone, the song is over, *thought I'd something more to say* About the most devastating lyric ever written. How do you absorb that and not be consumed by despair?
@@reshpeck Hey bro, english is my "second language" and I struggle with some things, for example I never understood what "thought I'd something more to say" means, it doesn't make any sense to me. Neither "The 'thought' I would something more to say" nor "I thought I would something more to say" makes any sense in my head. I'd be so grateful if you guys helped me breaking that down. Cheers in advance bros
Arnaldo Alves It's a contraction for "I *had*." So, "thought I had something more to say," which is just incredibly sad. The time is gone, the song is over, his life is at its end, and looking back he is filled with regret. He always thought he would have more time, and so he didn't value it like he should have. Ultimately, his life was unimportant, he had made no difference in the world, or to anyone else. After his whole life, his song, was over and in the past, and there was no more future, no time left, he discovers with disappointment that he never said, had never done, anything worth remembering.
@@reshpeck Oh I get it, I thought the 'd thing was only used for "would", and apparently "had" can also be written like that. Is there any other word that can be seen when we read "I'd" ?
Thank you for making me smile tonight 😊 Pink Floyd helped get me through high school 😉 If you want a fairly simple yet powerful song that will hit you right in the feels, pull up “Wish You Were Here” and think of your friends 😎 Have a fantastic evening 👍
I remember listening to 'Time' when I was 18 years old when it first hit the airwaves (K-SHE) back in 1973. I immediately went out and bought the album. It blew me away then and it still blows me away today.
@MrFsClass That is a killer shirt you have there. I've got some early ones from the station's first years. When I started 7th grade in 1967, K-SHE switch to rock and the Blues started rocking the Arena (Checkerdome).
Tflight2 Don’t worry. It will all work out. God helps those who help themselves. Im very happy to hear you have your priorities figured out . Good luck with the future. You can achieve anything you want.
Tflight2 you are definitely more mature than I was at your age. You should continue on your path. But when you do get that eventual break, find a quite place, empty your thoughts and listen to all of Dark Side of the Moon. It’s a great way to pause that fast forward feeling
Couple of things - don't let time slip by, I'm 53 and I wonder where the years went. This album has spent over 900 weeks on Billboard's top 200 for a reason.
This is brilliant man, seeing young people appreciating what has gone but is still classic. I am 57 and grew up with all this stuff and at the time I thought it was just normal to write stuff like this...now I realise it was pure genius. If I may recommend a tune: try listening to Van Morrison's 'Into the Mystic'. It's about leaving this earth but put across beautifully. Thanks Bro...
@@filfvideos we don't need your explanation, dude. I've lived in quite desperation my hole life, and I know this song since I was 7 and made me cry when I was 12 because I understood its meaning and I felt exactly like that
in all the reactions I watched of this song, people makes the same always... They suddenly paralize, remember their past, and realize the little time we have in the earth. Pink Floyd are just amazing.
You are adorable!! 🥰 I’m a 65 yo white woman and grew up with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I love when you youngsters get hold of my generation’s music and are so surprised how good it is. So much great stuff!! ..and how great it is you’re willing to listen. Your reactions are so genuine and hilarious! Pink Floyd was THE band to drop acid with and another great band try the Moody Blues. Very popular the same time.
Coach, I’m a youngin on the come up of my own journey. This song and your interpretation of it is an inspiration to me. Please react to more Pink Floyd bro
Hey man I'm leaving my youngin stages, if there was anything I could tell someone beginning there journey if life is that, you will hurt and suffer alot, but let me tell you right now, there where be so many golden moments in your life that you could have never even thought would mean so much to you. And I'm only 16, so that means me and you still have so many golden moments to live but they'll be over before you know it. One personal thing I wanna tell you is don't rush yourself. Don't ever try to live up to the media's expectations. You don't have to have a car at 14 or even have a job at 15, take some time to find yourself, when you do that. Never forget who you are.
Ducky Your wise wee man, totally agree with you. Enjoy all the little things do what makes u happy whilst also being a good person. Dont worry pal you never really stop being a youngin haha
The thing I love about Shaq is that 1) he reacts to all types of music 2) he dissects the song to find the meaning and 3) HE TRULY CARES ABOUT WHAT HE DOES...that is hard to find with youtubers nowadays. He really cares and puts hard work in and it shows
Time is such a great song. Deep dark and haunting. Oddly beautiful very scary. One of my favorite songs. Makes me tear up, all the mistakes I've made when I was young. I could have done stuff. Should have.
You've heard the most profound song on the record, now you absolutely MUST hear The Great Gig In The Sky ! One of the greatest songs without words that will lift your SOUL to the heavens! God , I can't wait to see you react to it. Your reactions are almost too real ! I love ya, man !
Hey Shaq man, you are the best. Your reactions are so genuine...so nice to hear your deep feelings and understanding of music from my generation. Thank you man, from an old white dude.(63 yrs) Bless you...going to roll some of my legal stuff in Canada, ...sitting by the ocean watching whales in their natural habitat, watching the sun rise... peace, my good man.
PINK FLOYD- GREAT GIG IN THE SKY- FROM THE SAME ALBUM DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! THERE IS NOT ANOTHER SONG LIKE IT! TRUST ME COACH, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! P.S. THIS ALBUM MUST BE LISTENED TO FRONT TO BACK!
I’m 16 and I appreciate this song. I’m probably gonna get it more when I’m older. But I’m already get the lyrics especially. “every year seem likes it getting shorter” Highschool seems like it’s flying by so quickly.
I know its way too long to react to, but you should really listen to the whole Dark Side of the Moon album, from start to finish. It's amazing. It will blow your mind!
Only 41 mins. Not too long. Coach, even if you don't react to the album on camera, just listen to it on your own. You will likely want to listen to it several times. When I was a kid, sometimes I would listen to it on headphones when I went to bed at night. Ya know...I think I'll do it tonight, for old TIMEs sake!
Yes, this. You already have an idea how deep it is. The more you listen, especially the whole album through and in order as the band intended, the more it seeps into you. The lyrics are genius and would make great poetry just stark words on a page, but presented as a package with the evocative & brilliant music, it becomes soul food.
Yes, one song just keeps flowing into the next. That's the way we listened to all albums in the old vinyl days, but Dark Side of the Moon was written to be listened to complete. A brilliant concept album.
Loved your reaction to this. I'm a Floyd fan and this song really does have a lot of meaning to someone like me in his mid 50s. Last fathers day, my daughter got me the book "Pink Floyd, All the Songs, the Story Behind Every Track". Thick book but it covers every song, album and movie soundtrack they did. You mentioned the sound of the drums, Nick Mason for the first time used Roto-Toms. Gilmour plays his legendary black Strat ali g with Binson Echorec 2 to get that reverb sound. Alan Parsons produced this album and he recorded all the alarm sounds on a using a portable tape recorder. Of course the backing vocals is what makes Pink Floyd music sound so good, the harmonies of these singers provide so much to their music. Glad you appreciate the meaning of the music, you won another subscriber to your channel.
Absolutely, if I was to be marooned on a desert island and could only take the complete catalogue of one artist or band, then that would be Pink Floyd, without question 🙏
Live your life today; we're not promised a tomorrow. Each new day is a gift. Pink Floyd is a deep band. There are those of us who had to drop some acid or take some 'shrooms to fully enjoy Floyd's performances. It was encouraged. Great trips taken with Pink Floyd. The memories...
Pick Floyd, the one band that you can get high off of just listening to their music. No Pharmaceuticals Required! Oh P.S. Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky should always (IMHO) be the follow up to Time as they are the same yet The Great Gig In The Sky is all about vocals with no lyrics. You will hear in the beginning, youth and the rage we all went through. Then comes understanding of middle age. Finally, wisdom and acceptance as we realize we are out of time. That's the way i take these two songs anyway.
Pink Floyd was on the edge of all the High Fidelity stereo sound early in the 70s. Switching speakers side 2 side Back 2 front. Awesome thru some big headphones.
As an old man it is so refreshing to hear this young guy appreciate and very intelligently describe this masterpiece of a song. I felt the exact way when I first heard these lyrics many years ago.
After listening to Time you said; "I've wasted half of my life not listening to Pink Floyd" what a perfect comment for this song... brilliant reaction...
immaculate
I'm so thankful my dad introduced me to Pink Floyd as a little kid. Ai instantly fell in love and I've continued this with my daughters who also love them.
"I'm not just doing it for views, I'm doing it for understanding." You just won yourself a subscriber with that sentence.
Facts
Same here. I was also won over by his genuine interest in the lyrics, and by the way he rewinds a bit after pausing the music. It's a win-win for him and the viewers.
4sure man
I remember the first time I heard this I was 17 & 8months old !!! And every 10 years since I think about the first (time) I'm 63 & 8months again 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

My vote would be for you to please do Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize.
You have 2 lives, and the second one begins when you realise you only have 1!
That's a helluva quote right there!
dude,,that hit the spot...
What an awakened quote
I didn't ask to feel dem feels like that bro wat u do to me.
A little advice my brother ; don't stop "Time" in the middle. Save comments until the end.
This seriously had me sitting down, thinking about my early 20's, when I had the best time of my life. Good friends, good laughs, we lived hard and partied even harder. I'm now 37, all those friends and times are gone, a brief memory in the sands of time. I freaking miss you guys, we sure had a hell of a time. I just hope you're all doing well and haven't forgotten about me too. When our ride is over, I'll do my best to come find you.
Life in a nutshell!
this made me cry
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon!
and today you're 38 and tomarrow you'll be 60 like me
There is no pain...
You said that you feel like you wasted half of your life having not heard this song. You also said that you heard that this song makes more sense the older you get. Maybe you heard this song exactly when you needed to because a younger you may not have appreciated it as much as you do now.
Great song and great video.
Adam Edwards well said my friend!
Adam Edwards 👍🏻 Cheers man....
Great reply mara
Well said and exactly what you would think as a pink Floyd fan.
Ironically wasting half your life is kind of what the song is about too.
Once you go pink you start to think!
I dig that man
Strait up homes
Once you go Floyd you enter the void
👏👏 well said well said 👏👏
@@Jerrongamereview 👏👏well said too 👏👏
I'm in my 60s. The line: "Every year is getting shorter" is really true. I can't believe how quickly the years fly past. Most people of my age will say the same thing.
💯 agreed. I’m just shy of 60.
The brain assesses length/size/mass proportionally and in relation to other things. So when you’re 5 years old, a year is 20% of your life. When you’re 50, a year is 2% of your life. That’s why years seem shorter as you get older.
FACE MELTER ...excellent assessment
Tony Blackwell I’m only 20 and have been feelin this way since 15. This mean I’m an old soul?
And that is why I'm getting "all you touch and all you see, is all you're life will ever be" tattooed on me as a reminder
One of the things I like about Shaq is he pays close attention to the lyrics, and with a band like Pink Floyd thats a necessity
One can not listen to music without listening to the lyrics, IF the music contains lyrics, of course.
I will never understand people not listening to lyrics, that is what the song is about after all.
@@OriginalPuro I mean, yes and no. I think the main thing about music, in my opinion is just to enjoy the sounds. Hence classical music, or listening to music in a foreign language. Though paying attention to the lyrics does add a level
Dark side of the mood is probably the greatest album ever made. It’s meant to be listened to as an album start to finish. It’s incredible
3000% correct
Sold over 45 million copies,
And was on billboard's albums chart for 778 weeks continuously. That's 14 years.
It’s the greatest album of all time, but it’s not even the best Pink Floyd album!
Wish you were here is my favorite
Dark Side of the Mood haha nice
First time i heard that guitar solo i was crying because of how beautiful it is
Gilmore knows how to make blues guitar far more profound than it already is
@@maximthefox Why blues? I know that rock originates from blues but I wouldn't call Pink Floyd blues :P
@@pinkraven4402 no they aren't they are psyche rock. His solos are very blues driven though, like very much so. They're certainly more progressive than blues guitar but they're still made up out of the bones of blues licks and blues styling.
@@maximthefox I'm lost now but ok xd
@@pinkraven4402 do you know much about guitar?
Watching you young bloods finding this is like finding it all over again you are bringing tears to my eyes..believe me you are in the well of inspiration and it is deep keep digging.
I love what you said, : "Well of Inspiration and it's deep." Just beautiful.
🙏🏻 #truth
I know it’s kind of heart warming. I’m 36 and I’ve seen David Gilmour and Roger Waters on tour. I’m thankful to got to see them when I was in my twenties.
Preach.
And its a well that never dries up no matter how much you drink from it, it keeps right on filling your cup back up. That's the beauty of it. Like now, I've listened to this kind of music my whole life, got it from my Dad. Both of myself and my Dad watch No Life Shaq and many other reaction videos of this music because for us its like hearing it all over again, exactly like you wrote. Just seeing other people get excites and enjoying the music that I have loved my whole life, 40 years, its a good feeling knowing younger people are listening to it as well.
This song truly is a masterpiece. The first part talks about youth. The second is your prime to middle age and the ending is the twilight years.. it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
I’ve never paid attention as much to the lyrics because the music is just SO good but when you finally listen to the lyrics especially of Pink Floyd’s songs, it makes almost every song their own beautiful masterpiece…
I gotta have this dude listen to echoes....
ynotlaz underrated comment and fearless too
YES
Most likely would not survive
or Atom Heart Mother lol
dont overkill it
Man, we got Shaq listening to Pink Floyd over here! That's tough! 🙌🔥
We dont know the rules!

Relax and enjoy!!!!✌✌✌

The Floyd are spiritual this song made me stop drinking alcohol 23 years ago, my daughter is 13 on Saturday and I will introduce this song into her life,
I totally agree pink floyd is spiritual. I have a spiritual experience every time I litsen to them , they have helped me as a soul remember who I truly am. Congratulations on you're sobriety, never give up or lose hope.
It’s the day man, hope she appreciates it
Awesome man congrats
Congrats brother🤘
Lee Illman wish it had only taken a song for me to stop drinking.
"the sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older"
You dont just listen to Pink Floyd. You experience pink Floyd. If you want a life changing experience, lay in the dark and play the entire albums of either The Wall or Dark Side of the Moon. Bonus points if you're high as hell. Lol! Extra bonus points if you play them both in their entirety and back to back. I promise you will never be the same again.
danielle winkelspecht I remember about the 3rd time I got high a buddy popped in Dark Side of the Moon and I was just gone in the music. It felt like my brain opened up, that was 25 years ago and my perception of Pink Floyd changed from that day forward.
Very true! One of my greatest Floyd experiences was "Laser Floyd" in the '80s. Dark Side of the Moon blaring in a planetarium, on the reclining chairs , everyone high. Send shivers down my spine just thinking about it.
@@Ellen.G I had my first experience of this album at one of those laser shows too only I was on old school acid at the time. It was a life changing night.....
You literally described my first ever time hearing them. Someone told me to smoke a joint, put headphones on, close the curtains, turn off the lights and listen to Dark Side cover to cover. I was completely lost in it. He asked me what I thought of the album and word for word I said, "That's not an album, that's a life experience!"
The first time I listened to this album was also my first acid trip. Danielle is so absolutely right. I have never been the same, nor do I ever want to be.
Pink Floyd - "Wish you were here" trust me.
I would love to see Shaq react to this song!! My favorite
And shine on you crazy diamond
Yes "Wish you were here" love it. Me&Wife's wedding song. High hopes would be grate too.
@@JN-yf6gm green is the colour by pink Floyd is also a good wedding song , i think.
Listen to all of link Floyd’s songs trust mee
The full effect is to lead into “The great gig in the sky”. The two together is a masterpiece.
yup
Was thinking the same, he should've done that.
"I feel like I wasted half of my life, not...not have heard this song yet, bro..." - ultimate compliment I've seen on TH-cam for this song.
Listen to Dark Side of the Moon Listen to Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd..
Listen to The Dark Side of the Moon in track order. It's an experience almost religious
Especially in quad! It's a real shame that most only heard in stereo.
cosmicjizz yeah everyone needs to listen to this album start to finish. It’s a spiritual experience. Very emotional
We used to listen to Dark Side of the Moon at late night parties in the late 70s early 80s flaked out on the carpet after to many smokes(drugs)........... Great times.
True
And put on the Wizard of Oz on mute after the last lion roar for gits and shiggles
"Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death."
One of Pink Floyd's most poignant lines ever written.
Glad you felt it the way it was intended to make you feel Coach! You get it!
Meyzen76 I definitely agree. Whenever I listen to this song, that line always hits me
definitely poignant and thought provoking
"You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking" is the one that always gives me chills, but there's so many damn good lines in this song.
This is absolutely my favorite Pink Floyd songs. So happy Shaq decided to review it.
My real question is has Shaq ever tried LSD????
I'm 55 years old and I grew up with this stuff...love it and love watching your younger generation really appreciate old school...cheers brother...keep being inspired.
Same, became 55 in June and love how the youth of today react to my favorite music.
I'm only 15, buy this is my second favourite song. only Wish You Were Here do I like more
Amen. I would put the album on and turn out all the lights with my speakers pinned up against each ear and listen for hours
55 in may.... My first album was The Wall
@alphadawn2015 lennon I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was like 6 years old with my Dad. These are the album of my Youth. Now I'm 20 and only now I've found some friends that appreciate this group and other Prog groups.
Dude, this tune is just one part of an album that was conceived as one whole work. You've GOT to listen to the whole Dark Side of the Moon album if you really want to appreciate Time.
That would be a long video
Its not necessary for apreciating the song, but for understanding it better
Indeed!!!
Absolutely. DSM, WYWH, and Animals are all pieces to listen to as single, individual pieces of music. Almost like symphonies (I guess). You can listen to, and enjoy little bits, but the business aspects of recorded music forced the division of those albums into individual tracks. There is no gap between those tracks either.
YES!!!
"I'm not just doing it for views; I'm doing it for understanding."
Absolutely BASED Shaq.
The reaction was great and we're huge floyd fan too. Our first track "Inner dimensions" is out do check us out and I hope you all will like the song!

This young man gets it. He gives me hope for the future
"It's definitely about time! Goddamn!" Hahaha, I almost fell out of my chair.
Me too! Haaha, too good. "Ya'll still there?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 same here
That is a real reaction! Ha! Dark Side of the Moon the entire album...takes me back to a time where my wish would've been that I never had to leave.
Lol I laughed my ass of for reals when he was looking a little perplexed and then the G0damm was a honest one. That’s what made that shit hilarious.
I'm 80years old next year scary eh! Life is like a toilet roll, the closer you get to the end, the faster ìt goes...love PF I wonder how much TIME I've got .??....😎
Oh man
Maybe you have just a next live, man. Nobody knows. So many people died already, those people were kids, males, females. Young, old, black and white, reach and poor, and all of us will be dead finally. I don't think it is possible to be, and next moment not to be at all, i think we have a complex scheme here, not so simple.
Excuse my weak English. With all my respect.
Wow your comment blew my mind. You described life perfectly..
You got plenty of shit to do!
As long as you need my friend, until the end! There is no end however...... as there is no dark side of the moon
I've been listening to this song for 47 years.. so so many years have gotten behind me. I miss 1973.
I have nothing but respect for your age. You came from a time that I can only imagine.
My favorite year in music history and one of the best years in history period in my opinion.
My aunt was talking about how in 1977 when she was 17 she thought thought thought the year 2000 was space age future. I was born 99 and I have deep conversations with her. My daughter is two and will be my age in 2042 and it’s all so insane to think. I’ll be done with my youth by then and she will only be beginning. Time is a cruel beast
Honestly ... You surprised me. Seen a few of the different guys "listening to xx the first time". You are the first one I have seen trying to interprete the lyrics - even twisting them to your own age... "remember to live every day"... You are so right.
Usually it makes me smile when I realise other people found greatness in Pink Floyd music... I've been listening and following for around 45 years. But this time the smile is extra big cause you even put your soul in and trying to dig the lyrics... That's cool, man.
Wishing you a great life with lots of Floyd music after this :)
Check out some of his other vids. Hes genuinely curious and introspective. As a 24 year old it's cool seeing a grown man go through the same things I went though listening to these songs as a kid. Pink floyd literally expands your mind
Also , while each song has meaning , it may differ person to person and I love that
Exactly what Syd had intended for each and every from the beginning. A huge thanks to Rodger, David and band for carrying it out after Syd was no longer present in his mind. I couldn't agree with you more friend. Greatest music of all time and I love watching others experience it and feeling it as it should be. Geniuses, Evey one of them.
Shaq is a legend. He’s one of like 3 “reaction” channels who actually love music.
Never been more proud to be British.
Bob Gilford I’m proud I’m american and not British !
I'm American. You guys made the best music hands down. Most all of my favorite bands are British.
@@Saboteur709 Cheers mate. There's a lot of good American music out there too, but I have to say the British rock bands that came with the British Invasion made some of my favourite music of all time.
When it comes to making music, the English know what the F they're doing
I grew up in America but in the mids of my teen years really fell for and dove into the love for British bands, starting with the Beatles. The way I see it, American rock really embraces the joys of life. You can say Chuck Berry typifies this with all his songs about youth dilemma's like school, cars and approaching the opposite sex. This partially has to do with the economic high the States had in the 50's thru 70's. Meanwhile British rock was more about the everyday hardships of finding a job, finding your place, and basically fighting against the imposed social structures that curtailed the "don't haves" of the English population. Which is what those kids had to deal with, during the sixties mostly. That difference between American and British rock in the beginning made for very different types of rock bands. Americans have more rouge geniuses, I feel (Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground, Frank Zappa to name a few). The Brits having the more music concept changing bands (Beatles, Floyd, Led Zep, etc.). Of course I don't see this as the absolute truth on the matter. Just my two cents in the hat sort of speak.
There is a reason Dark Side of the Moon stayed in the top 100 most purchased album for 30 YEARS!
Furious Storm just rebought this album but vinyl this time
And it was on billboard's albums chart for 778 weeks continuously.. that's 14 freaking years
TMI: I was 18 and on some heavy duty hallucinogens when I first really heard this song. 25 years later it still hits me the same way. Live life and love it... the days goes slow... the years fly by! ☝️
SHAQ. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on your reactions, not just analyzing the content, or dismissing it for not being in your style. It’s by and far the reason you should be and will be the best reaction channel. The songs brought me here, but YOU kept me here. That’s tough.
Also, I’m sure you’ve already been told, BUT; once you’ve reacted to the Pink Floyd songs on this album individually, do yourself and your SOUL a huge favor and listen to this album, Dark Side of the Moon, all the way through in order without skipping. It’s made to be. Best album of all time, IMO.
Thanks again, god bless, and keep doing great man
Wow - Very well said. Completely agree!
I've said it once, and I'll say it again: No one can make a guitar sing like David Gilmour.
That man makes love to his guitar. Its emotional and beautiful.
I just saw a quote from Dave Mustaine about David Gilmore being able to say more in one note than Yngwie Malmsteen could say in a hundred.
@@skanderfish3641 Shine On You Crazy Diamond is Gilmour at his finest, the tone he conjures from his Strat, is possibly the best ever, he can move mountains and people to tears.
Well, exept the great B.B. King
@@markandersen793 YES he needs to do a reaction to Shine On next
This album came out when I was 16. I’m 64 and it’s still fresh and incredibly meaningful. The whole album is an experience and will mean different things as you get older. Still GOAT albums and will be 500 years from now . No one is like Pink Flood .
I was 16 when I first discovered this album in 1996 thanks to my dad. It shaped me in so many deep ways and such integral part of my youth. I’m so lucky to know Pink Floyd extensively and for them to be such a big part of my life. 🌈🖤
I was 17 when I bought this album when it was release in 1973. I heard and understood the meaning of this song and the entire album actually but now at 66 it really hits home for me. Tomorrow is not a given, make the most of everyday because it goes by quickly.
Pink Floyd will change the way you think man. If you’re digging this music you should keep going down this rabbit hole 🤘
Speaking of rabbits, White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane would be a good review
Pink Floyd brings together minds and hearts, disregarding all other nonsense.
The wall would mess with his head. I'd love to see it, but it might be a 4 hour video with all the freakout moments
The Wall is Roger Waters egomania on display and beginning of what led to him being kicked out of the band.
Pretty sure 'Breakin the law" will fill his small cell!
"Shorter of breath and one day closer to death." Also my favorite line
HANGING ON IN QUIET DESPERATION IS THE ENGLISH WAY
Also my life.
"You run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again". There is so much poetry in this song, and it doesn't have that many words. As an american with a TON of british friends, I have to second Mark Castellanos though. HAHAHA
@@markcastellanos9678 The English are so classy. But I'm American and desperation calls for LOUD. Like "Look out below, human coming in for a landing."
That line makes me think every time I hear it, and I've heard it about 200 times easy.
Props for diving deep into the lyrics and meaning of the song.
One of my favorite lines of this song is "the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older" like yeah relative to sun's age, on year passing isn't anything, but for us humans, its a long time
"the suspense is killing me"
me: give it some.... Time....
also literally any solo by these guys are gonna hit you where you've never been hit before. there's a reason David Gilmour's solos have been labeled some of the best of all time. I suggest Comfortably Numb next, since it's one of their most popular songs and holds what has been called the best solo of all time.
He’s already done comfortably numb
Marooned would be my number one for instrumental/solo
I see what you did there
He said that was his first Floyd experience.
Shine on you Crazy Diamond....Masterpiece!
PLEASE check out this song..one of many people's favorites
Agree!! I got to see it live 3 years ago. Unbelievable experience
I just found your channel today, and I binge watched like 6 or 7 videos. Watching you discover the music my pop played and loved is making me get the chills. Keep it up, SHAQ!
Me too!!
@rachelknepper0811 tired I think my favorite so far has been the Freebird reaction
So glad you're getting into Pink Floyd. A whole lot in there about being a human being in this beautiful yet hard world. Cheers all!
Shaq don't stop digging into Pink Floyd it only gets better from here. I can't suggest a song by them cause they are all so good. Thank you so much for reactions like this, you rock bro!
The best thing about this cd is if you have it on repeat, it’s a continuous cycle. The last song fades in the first song. Pink Floyd were geniuses at concept albums. Glad you get to experience them coach!
jason pitcock you could say it’s the reincarnating spirit
Elstons Gun hah, yes you can.
It's the same with 'The Wall'
I didnt know thats cool
Yo man, I’ve been watching you for awhile now, and I really respect your opinion on the music you’ve been exposing yourself to. Bands like MetallicA, LED Zeppelin Black Sabbath and most of all Pink Floyd are at the core of who I am. Good music to me is what feelings sound like.
I am 70 now and I still love the feeling Floyd give me after all the years of listening to them
It never ages does it? Sadly we do.
Doctor : you have 6 minutes to live
Me :play pink Floyd's time
Doctor :but that's 6:49
God :I'll allow it
This.
Stolen comment but I’ll excuse it
@@shadowxlink123 We were standing in line outside in the cold to get our Pink Floyd tickets in Winnipeg. This old man came up and asked me "Who is this Floyd guy"? I told him it's a band that will turn a 71 year old man into a 17 year old kid then i asked him if i could get him a ticket,then he gave me a peace sign and walked away.......IT WAS FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!!
Oddly enough, the last sense to go after being pronounced dead, is the hearing.
I will have Time, with lyrics, at my funeral.
Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky
I think he'd die of excitement on the intro. Worth watching.
yooo yes
Or pigs too
adrenaline he did.
th-cam.com/video/glahxQiG7D8/w-d-xo.html
YES. Commented that and then saw this. He’ll lose his mind!
Spend 42 min and listen to the masterpiece..... DARKSIDE OF THE MOON. Better lie down for it.
Vic Lagina yesssssss! It’s best to micro dose right before it. About 20 min in, the best ride you’ve ever had.
I bought a Yamaha M800 Amp and Klipsch Bellhorn Speakers just because of this band......and it was worth every penny
Your name is amazing
All time best album ever !!!!
Oh heck yeah! I went thru 4 albums -six tapes and three CDs.
I listened to it as a kid and still do at 63😎
Time leads masterfully into "the great gig in the sky"! The whole album is headphone worthy or shaking the windows!
First time I ever listened to it was on headphones and I could not have asked for a better way to experience it.
this album playthrough is amazing bro. it all flows together so very well. reaction or not you need to hear it through
I totally agree the songs by themselves don't do it proper justice. Its like only eating the onions when you got a Philly cheesteak right in front of you.
I agree. There are just some albums that need to be heard from start to finish. This is definitely one of them.
You run & you run to catch up with the sun but 🤔 it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind you again 🙈
You cant beat time 🤷♂️ this song is the sum of a life’s experience
That line always gives me hair boners. Absolutely haunting
"Every breath you take brings you closer to death".. that shit is deep and true.
Without a doubt a best song ever made in my opinion...
The way I phrase it is: "It's my favorite song from my favorite album from my favorite band."
It's a close match between this song and "Us and Them" for me.
@@Saboteur709 No it's: It's the best song from the best album of all time from one of the best bands in the world
The worst song ever made in my opinion
I can’t say how much I appreciate how you appreciate music. You’re one of the very few reaction sites I watch. I enjoy watching you get exposed to some of my favorite music ever.
" I feel like I've wasted half my life." he says after hearing "Time".
Not an altogether uncommon response...
“This song is life-changin, brah.”
Yes it is, brah! Rock it out!!!
Great job!
They are special toms for the drum kit called rototoms. They are usually just setup on a stand like cymbals are next to your kit where you can reach them.
I was born in 1963 and have been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 15 years old. I turn 60 in May. Pink Floyd's music becomes more relevant every day that passes. It really is about life's voyage to the ultimate ending we all face at some point.
React to Great Gig In The Sky!!!! Everything Pink Floyd did was perfection.
Do this one coach!! The vocals will blow your mind!
Going to have to agree.. The Great Gig in the Sky is something unlike anything you have ever heard. It is the next song on the album, (Dark Side of the Moon) which is a masterpiece of an album. Nothing like it before or since. Do a little research on the song before you listen to it. No lyrics, but speaks volumes!!!
His soul might leave his body after hearing GGITS
Unpopular opinion: Roger Waters wrote all the masterpieces. Syde's, Gilmour, Wright, and Mason's all thier lyrics were trash. I will admit Rogers sucked at playing instruments and vocals. Gilmour and Wright were very talented composers and vocalists.
WARNING : to NoLifeShaq : The great Gig in the sky will move your soul !
SHaq, through your videos, I love ya, man. When you said "I'm listening for understanding", I felt an absolute sense that you genuinely meant it. This has fast become one of my favorite reaction channels.
In my opinion one of the best songs ever written. I'm glad you found Pink Floyd Shaq.
"I'm not just doing it for views, I'm doing it for understanding" true spirit♡
precisely at 4:20 he has that moment everyone does when they hear "time" for the first time. That moment you realize how heavy, how profound this master piece is...
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time...
The time is gone, the song is over, *thought I'd something more to say*
About the most devastating lyric ever written. How do you absorb that and not be consumed by despair?
@@reshpeck Absolutely man. And in a way it breaks the fourth wall, pointing out the relevance of the lyrics to you in that moment. Powerful.
@@reshpeck Hey bro, english is my "second language" and I struggle with some things, for example I never understood what "thought I'd something more to say" means, it doesn't make any sense to me. Neither "The 'thought' I would something more to say" nor "I thought I would something more to say" makes any sense in my head.
I'd be so grateful if you guys helped me breaking that down.
Cheers in advance bros
Arnaldo Alves It's a contraction for "I *had*." So, "thought I had something more to say," which is just incredibly sad.
The time is gone, the song is over, his life is at its end, and looking back he is filled with regret. He always thought he would have more time, and so he didn't value it like he should have. Ultimately, his life was unimportant, he had made no difference in the world, or to anyone else. After his whole life, his song, was over and in the past, and there was no more future, no time left, he discovers with disappointment that he never said, had never done, anything worth remembering.
@@reshpeck Oh I get it, I thought the 'd thing was only used for "would", and apparently "had" can also be written like that. Is there any other word that can be seen when we read "I'd" ?
Thank you for making me smile tonight 😊
Pink Floyd helped get me through high school 😉 If you want a fairly simple yet powerful song that will hit you right in the feels, pull up “Wish You Were Here” and think of your friends 😎
Have a fantastic evening 👍
This band came from heaven and it goes back to heaven
I like that
Love how I can be sitting in 95 degree weather and still get the chills listening to this.
I remember listening to 'Time' when I was 18 years old when it first hit the airwaves (K-SHE) back in 1973. I immediately went out and bought the album. It blew me away then and it still blows me away today.
K-SHE shout out!!!!
KSHE95
Holy shit some more St. Louis folks following Shaq! Awesome!
@MrFsClass With his headphones, sunglasses, nose ring, and doobie. The coolest creature you'll ever see.
@MrFsClass That is a killer shirt you have there. I've got some early ones from the station's first years. When I started 7th grade in 1967, K-SHE switch to rock and the Blues started rocking the Arena (Checkerdome).
Iam 50 now, the last 20 years have gone by like 1 year in my 20's.. This song is so true.
I'm 20 now.
Damn...
When i was in my 20’s I really wasted lot of my life. Working all the time. Now im 53 and i hate looking back and seeing what I missed out on
Tflight2
Don’t worry. It will all work out. God helps those who help themselves. Im very happy to hear you have your priorities figured out . Good luck with the future. You can achieve anything you want.
Tflight2 you are definitely more mature than I was at your age. You should continue on your path. But when you do get that eventual break, find a quite place, empty your thoughts and listen to all of Dark Side of the Moon. It’s a great way to pause that fast forward feeling
Couple of things - don't let time slip by, I'm 53 and I wonder where the years went.
This album has spent over 900 weeks on Billboard's top 200 for a reason.
@Agent J dude...WTF? Are you always an asshole? I mean I know you're trying to be all deep but my comment needs no editorializing
You listen to Dark Side and read Peck's The Road Less Traveled , you figured out the times.
52..I know where it went.. We all get to do it once.. I'm at peace..
Nick Mason was the heartbeat of the band. His drums were just drove the music along.
This is brilliant man, seeing young people appreciating what has gone but is still classic. I am 57 and grew up with all this stuff and at the time I thought it was just normal to write stuff like this...now I realise it was pure genius. If I may recommend a tune: try listening to Van Morrison's 'Into the Mystic'. It's about leaving this earth but put across beautifully. Thanks Bro...
Love the line 'Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way'
So true!
Yeah, kudos to Rog Waters, but he did lift it from an American, Henry David Thoreau - “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
As an Englishman it is almost impossible to explain this lyric to anyone who is not English. It is the perfect line of English existence.
@@filfvideos we don't need your explanation, dude. I've lived in quite desperation my hole life, and I know this song since I was 7 and made me cry when I was 12 because I understood its meaning and I felt exactly like that
in all the reactions I watched of this song, people makes the same always...
They suddenly paralize, remember their past, and realize the little time we have in the earth.
Pink Floyd are just amazing.
You are adorable!! 🥰 I’m a 65 yo white woman and grew up with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I love when you youngsters get hold of my generation’s music and are so surprised how good it is. So much great stuff!! ..and how great it is you’re willing to listen. Your reactions are so genuine and hilarious! Pink Floyd was THE band to drop acid with and another great band try the Moody Blues. Very popular the same time.
“The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older”, I took about 5 mins to reflect on it when I first heard it. Great song, great video!
Coach, I’m a youngin on the come up of my own journey. This song and your interpretation of it is an inspiration to me. Please react to more Pink Floyd bro
ita allllllll about the journey man..dooooooont stop, beleeeeeeeeeeeieeeven. Hold onto that feeeeleeeeeeeeiieennnnng.
@@NickPatterson1 lmao.
Hey man I'm leaving my youngin stages, if there was anything I could tell someone beginning there journey if life is that, you will hurt and suffer alot, but let me tell you right now, there where be so many golden moments in your life that you could have never even thought would mean so much to you. And I'm only 16, so that means me and you still have so many golden moments to live but they'll be over before you know it. One personal thing I wanna tell you is don't rush yourself. Don't ever try to live up to the media's expectations. You don't have to have a car at 14 or even have a job at 15, take some time to find yourself, when you do that. Never forget who you are.
Ducky Your wise wee man, totally agree with you. Enjoy all the little things do what makes u happy whilst also being a good person. Dont worry pal you never really stop being a youngin haha
As a 50 something who's been listening to this song for decades I can tell you it does become more and more true the older you get.
The thing I love about Shaq is that 1) he reacts to all types of music 2) he dissects the song to find the meaning and 3) HE TRULY CARES ABOUT WHAT HE DOES...that is hard to find with youtubers nowadays. He really cares and puts hard work in and it shows
Time is such a great song. Deep dark and haunting. Oddly beautiful very scary. One of my favorite songs. Makes me tear up, all the mistakes I've made when I was young. I could have done stuff. Should have.
My first time was a little like this too. You can never get them out of your head . One of the greatest musical groups ever formed I’d say . Timeless
You've heard the most profound song on the record, now you absolutely MUST hear The Great Gig In The Sky ! One of the greatest songs without words that will lift your SOUL to the heavens! God , I can't wait to see you react to it. Your reactions are almost too real ! I love ya, man !
DUDE! LOVED your reaction! This song is AWESOME! New subscriber ;)
HOME!...Home again!...I like to be here when i can ! when i come home, cold and tired. its good to warm my bones beside the fire!
Hey Shaq man, you are the best. Your reactions are so genuine...so nice to hear your deep feelings and understanding of music from my generation. Thank you man, from an old white dude.(63 yrs) Bless you...going to roll some of my legal stuff in Canada, ...sitting by the ocean watching whales in their natural habitat, watching the sun rise... peace, my good man.
Can I come over? I'll bring some
God bless you too
PINK FLOYD- GREAT GIG IN THE SKY- FROM THE SAME ALBUM DARK SIDE OF THE MOON,

TRUST ME COACH, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
P.S. THIS ALBUM MUST BE LISTENED TO FRONT TO BACK!
Pardon! I couldn't hear you over the shouting.
"No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." That line gets me every time.
I’m 16 and I appreciate this song. I’m probably gonna get it more when I’m older. But I’m already get the lyrics especially. “every year seem likes it getting shorter” Highschool seems like it’s flying by so quickly.

You will totally enjoy Pink Floyd- Welcome To The Machine
One of their best
🤣 🤣 😂 That was my comment to his réaction To great gig in the sky🤣🤣🤣
I know its way too long to react to, but you should really listen to the whole Dark Side of the Moon album, from start to finish. It's amazing. It will blow your mind!
Only 41 mins. Not too long.
Coach, even if you don't react to the album on camera, just listen to it on your own. You will likely want to listen to it several times. When I was a kid, sometimes I would listen to it on headphones when I went to bed at night.
Ya know...I think I'll do it tonight, for old TIMEs sake!
Yes, this. You already have an idea how deep it is. The more you listen, especially the whole album through and in order as the band intended, the more it seeps into you. The lyrics are genius and would make great poetry just stark words on a page, but presented as a package with the evocative & brilliant music, it becomes soul food.
Yes, one song just keeps flowing into the next. That's the way we listened to all albums in the old vinyl days, but Dark Side of the Moon was written to be listened to complete. A brilliant concept album.
Sarah Townsend one of the greatest albums of all time i think it’s top 5
Loved your reaction to this. I'm a Floyd fan and this song really does have a lot of meaning to someone like me in his mid 50s.
Last fathers day, my daughter got me the book "Pink Floyd, All the Songs, the Story Behind Every Track". Thick book but it covers every song, album and movie soundtrack they did.
You mentioned the sound of the drums, Nick Mason for the first time used Roto-Toms.
Gilmour plays his legendary black Strat ali g with Binson Echorec 2 to get that reverb sound.
Alan Parsons produced this album and he recorded all the alarm sounds on a using a portable tape recorder.
Of course the backing vocals is what makes Pink Floyd music sound so good, the harmonies of these singers provide so much to their music.
Glad you appreciate the meaning of the music, you won another subscriber to your channel.
Pink Floyd is arguably the best rock band that ever walked the face of the earth.
If there was ever an inter stellar musical competition. I would vote for Pink Floyd to represent the Solar System.
Absolutely, if I was to be marooned on a desert island and could only take the complete catalogue of one artist or band, then that would be Pink Floyd, without question 🙏
in the uk we certainly punch above our weight for rock bands. zeppelin, beatles, floyd, stones, sabbath, purple.
@@kiko0311 I mean, I'd give it to Zeppelin, but Floyd is near the top for sure.
@Brian Corsetti...no argument here. !!!!!!!✔✔✔✌✌✌
Live your life today; we're not promised a tomorrow. Each new day is a gift. Pink Floyd is a deep band. There are those of us who had to drop some acid or take some 'shrooms to fully enjoy Floyd's performances. It was encouraged.
Great trips taken with Pink Floyd. The memories...
Pick Floyd, the one band that you can get high off of just listening to their music. No Pharmaceuticals Required!
Oh P.S. Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky should always (IMHO) be the follow up to Time as they are the same yet The Great Gig In The Sky is all about vocals with no lyrics. You will hear in the beginning, youth and the rage we all went through. Then comes understanding of middle age. Finally, wisdom and acceptance as we realize we are out of time. That's the way i take these two songs anyway.
Though certain types may heighten your senses for a time, long enough to truly enjoy the music. My personal recommendation is herbal.
Weed aint chems....
@@robbieh1899 You are correct. Love the s/n. Blotter is chemical, the good kind.
You Got Right ! Definetely whenever I Listen to Time I must finished up listening to both. otherwise its like not completed Regards
Enjoyed your reaction to one of my fav songs, good stuff man
Pink Floyd was on the edge of all the High Fidelity stereo sound early in the 70s.
Switching speakers side 2 side
Back 2 front.
Awesome thru some big headphones.
As an old man it is so refreshing to hear this young guy appreciate and very intelligently describe this masterpiece of a song. I felt the exact way when I first heard these lyrics many years ago.
Who else is here because of being hypnotized by this brotha
Sounds like he talks with a mouth full of marbles.
Po1itica11yNcorrect Cold & Rude thing to say man! I’m glad ppl don’t all talk, look, act, & think the same. That’s a beauty of humanity... ijs
If you think this is thought provoking, listen to the whole album end to end in one go, that will change your life.
