Exactly.. they gave space to their compositions and allowed the song to breathe, build and fall. They fully exhausted an idea and recorded every which way that it might have taken them. I wish more musicians, guitarists especially, would allow space in their songs.. it is the key essence for making a song build up into a euphoric climax.
Was just thinking , something that’s rarely ever mentioned is how patient they are , when most songs and bands need to fit their music into what producers think will sell , with Pink Floyd there is no compromising, the sound, the music, the message, is non negotiable
There are rockers who's music makes you want to get up and dance and then there's Pink Floyd. They are meant to be listened to alone, with headphones, where you can just relax and drift off to another world!
I've listened to everything PF ever did. And I honestly can't say where I see any influence or impact from Mr. Barrett. But they obviously did, for that I am eternally grateful to Mr. Barrett and of course the legendary Pink Floyd.
@@TheMichaelseymour Yes I see your meaning. Punk would fall under such a category, eh? I think that being together as a band they would surely be influenced by one another. Though David replaced Syd they were school-mates and good friends. Listening to their early music is a raw indication of what's to come. As I said, I cannot see it but then I wasn't there. For them, for us, it worked. Thanks to Mr. Gilmour, Mr. Barrett and the rest of the crew. It works wonderfully.
This song is a tribute to Syd Barrett, the guy who started Pink Floyd. He was very creative, but he also had schizophrenia, and when that was combined with drugs, he lost his mind, and had to leave the band. He's the crazy diamond.
Listening to their early music I cannot see an influence of any kind. But they did, they saw it in Syd. And for that I am indeed thankful for his being, his creation if you will.
@@rondohunter8966 their whole early psychedelic sound was because of Syd. He was their leader and main LSD user in the band. He sang and wrote most of the songs on the first album. Granted, he was influence by the Beatles as well. Give See Emily Play a listen to also.
This song was recorded for Wish You Were Here in 1975 and tells the story of their founding member Syd Barrett (the Crazy Diamond). During the recording of their second album, Syd, who was already suffering from schizophrenia, went on an LSD trip that he basically never returned from. He ended up leaving the band and disappearing from the music business altogether after a brief try at a solo career. This song was written in his honor and the lyrics are some of the most heartbreaking ever recorded. In an interesting twist of fate, Syd actually showed up at the studio the day the group was recording this song!! He had shaved his head and gained a lot of weight, to the point that nobody in the group initially recognized him. After this brief reunion, Syd disappeared again and none of the other group members ever saw him again. He is now known as one of the most infamous rock and roll drug casualties of all time.
You've got me there! I've always suffered from ADHD. You cannot imagine how hard it is to focus on this music, or anything for that matter, without your mind constantly running off at a tangent and into the weeds! Hasn't stopped me from being a major Floyd fan!
That's pretty much true of a lot of early 70s progressive rock. Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis (Peter Gabriel years), even Jethro Tull experimented with some of it. Definitely not for the impatient.
I had Meddle, Wish You Were Here and DSOTM on vinyl in the 70's/80's, and played them all to death. With the speakers positioned just so to make the most of the acoustics. Stereo was still fairly new then, most 60's music was recorded in mono.
Love seeing you enjoy this. Heard it as a teen in the 80's. It was recorded and released on the "Wish You Were Here" album in 1975. (Check out that song) The chemistry between guitar organ bass and drums of this band is beyond. Really nice touch having the guest Sax at the end!
Pink Floyd ROCKS!! They are of the era when musicians were true artist and they gave it there all in their music. As much as I love some of the new stuff I feel like too many of the current artist shuck stuff out without putting as much thought into as they did before. If you look at the music of thre Pink Floyd era the songs were normally 6 to 15 minutes long (longer in some cases) they gave their fans their money's worth. Now a days you are lucky if a song lasts 3 to 4 minutes and has half the meaning behind it.
When this albumm was new, i was in my late teens. It was never about relaxing wi th a drink. It was a whole group of people my age +/- experiencing a journey being played out on quadraphonic stereos with bose 901 speakers. Introspection a nd it took you along on that journey bynmeans of unreal musical riffs as the vehicle and the lyrics as your guide. The fact that there may have been a little weed being enjoyed might have had a bit to do with it. But i can honestly say it was the most enjoyable musical days ive ever known.
do you think it changed you as a person? Do you see that experience in your life today, or does listening to you take you back to that place in your life? (honestly curious)
I love that you close your eyes when you listen sometimes. When you close your eyes, and the brain stops getting visual stimuli, it diverts that unused processing power to the other senses; hearing, or auditory perception, is the sense most affected by this phenomena. Listening abilities are ramped up, allowing for a much deeper comprehension of the sound. Singers do it as well for the same exact reason.
The softness of the first few notes of the first guitar solo is really "piercing"/sudden but soft, and almost-physically soothing. No matter what headphones/speakers you're listening to it on, it's just a phenomenal blend of sounds/harmonies right there on the record.
I don't disagree but... some half decent, properly amplified, speakers blow all but the most expensive headphones out of the water. Especially those ridiculous little earbuds, that millennials seem to favour. If you're lucky enough to be able to afford decent speakers, no headphones can touch them. Whilst some decent, over-ear headphones do make a real difference, the headphones that the vast majority of people use, are pretty dreadful, tbh. They're either all about the bass end... and nothing else, or they have no bass end to speak of. :)
@@Codex7777 - Speakers with vinyl, analogue all the way, Floyd recorded in analogue for analogue reproduction so it has to be vinyl with the expansive sound of decent speakers.
@@Codex7777 I have a pair of RCA muff style headphones, covers the ear entirely. Cuts outside noise and delivers more and better sound than the ear can handle. Oh yeah my pipe and lighter, bean bag chair, that's the ticket.
Hi i've come across your video reaction by coincidence , keep up the good videos , i am a PF fans for years and i appreciate younger ones listening to it !!!
Not sure about that source you're using. Album was released in 1975, not '92. Also, this was the film that would play behind the band during live concerts. They didn't do videos back then. Way before Cable and MTV.
"...The name Pink Floyd was derived from the given names of two blues musicians whose Piedmont blues records Barrett had in his collection, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council..."
With classic rock ,don't focus too much on the videos. They weren't really a thing back then and many were added later. It's all about the music and videos can distract. Especially as modern audiences have been taught to focus on visuals. Unlike audiences back then, when it really was all about the music. People would spend hours and hours just listening. Really listening. There are a few notable exceptions, this video is ok, for instance, however, generally speaking, you're best off just listening to the audio. If you must have visuals, look for a live performance. All of the classic rock artists were virtuoso musicians and were usually brilliant live. :)
Absolutely. That's why many times people, myself included, will close their eyes and nod to the beat. Absorbing the music, filling the mind, no external interference. Amazing.
Yeah - Floyd is best heard lying down in a dimly lit room with a pair of good speakers on either side of your head. Adjust volume to taste then float on you crazy diamond.
Your reactions, and facial expressions were exactly the way everyone feels, I was listening to this at thirteen and that was 1976 and it is as good today as it was then, you have got the right perception on these guys to a Tee.
Everybody should listen to this or any Pink Floyd track and just let all the anger, stress, anxiety and worry just float from their system. Relax and enjoy The experience that is Pink Floyd. Close your eyes and use your own imagination, not this video.
There isn’t a more emotional, tasteful and out and out class guitar player than Gilmour. It’s all about tone and the genius of simplicity. No one like him.
I know I'm late to this party, but this is one of my favorite pieces of music ever, and you're kinda doin' it right! You gotta close your eyes and just experience this song.
Ms. India: Nothing more beautiful than when generations pay attention to either past artists or current ones. Great music is simply great music regardless of genre. Ms. M.
So much appreciate what you are doing for us. Keeping us company and helping us all stay balanced. TY, TY, TY. In the 70s, albums were made, as apposed to singles like from then on 😁. By the time you got to side B, the worries were gone. Album covers and student body cards were pot cleaning trays of the day.
Grew up listening to this band at 5yrs old in the70's . Whenever placed with a problem or situation their poetry of lyrics & music helped me through. Blessings
Probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. Put on the headphones and listen to the whole album straight through: preferably in a dark room so it's just you and the music. You can argue that Dark Side of the Moon is better, and honestly, I'll listen through both albums on a regular basis. Each has it's merits.
Just got into the reaction thing, loving your reactions. Thanks for bringing so many great tracks up, this is music that never fades away. “Old rockers never die . . . . Sometimes they just smell that way”.
Pink Floyd is a Journey girl lol its very deep and takes years to really know the soul of this band ..but thank god ive had years and i love them !!!!!! ✌ peace ..ph yeah oh yeah girl !! Sit back and relax enjoy the journey !!
i first listened to this when the album came out. Picked it up from my local record shop, took it round to my friends house whose parents where away. We lit up a big joint and just chilled out. The only way to listen to it .lol
Gilmour guitar explains Syd's mind.. the atmosphere.. with great details.. the dread, the dissociation.. everyhting you'd expect knowing Syd condition and makes you feel it into the soul...BUT ALL WITHOUT SAYING A FUCKING WORD.. No other guitarists can say so much with a few guitar notes.. GOD HIMSELF
Welp, when I snuck into my older brothers room as a teen and saw his high tech turntable and top of the line high wattage components I had to hear something on it. I put on Shine on you Crazy Diamond and was transformed to another dimension with my virgin sensory ears and eyes at that age. No doubt they were doing something out of the ordinary.
Congratulations girlfriend, you have just listened to arguably that best, re most epic, Pink Floyd song ever! And watching you get into the tune the way did pretty much proves the point! "Dark Side of the Moon" & "The Wall" are hugely popular records, but the album Wish You Were Here is, in my humble opinion, the best Pink Floyd album there is!
I totally agree! My dad & I would sit on the floor against the wall in our basement, listen to this album, & feel it through the wall! I think of him whenever I hear any of it, now. RIP Syd & Dad!
First time I heard this song, I like fell asleep or something cause all of sudden it felt like warm water was filling the room. And the moment it went over my head I flew out of my body. I flew through space until I came upon a tree made of light and colors. Then my friend knocked on my window and it felt I was slammed back into myself. Song was only like a few minutes in, crazy experience lol
Floyd makes you kick back and relax and enjoy the adventure stoned or straight it makes you feel calm and relaxed I go to sleep at night to Floyd just about like you almost did
Back when I was young and foolish I thought a song had to have a lot of words to sound right then a friend played this for me. As the music trickled in my ears my soul opened as did my mind. That was many years ago and to this day I get high listening to Pink Floyd. It is like a calm flows through my body and washes my soul clean of all the daily drama
listen to the live verson from delicate sound of thunder concert.It is on youtube.The sound and arangement is better hair on your arms will stand up.Also the great gid in the sky on the same concert is jaw dropping
Iconic Floyd the masters of allowing you to interact with their sound in your own way. Mine is in a dark room with headphones on and a glass of single malt scotch. So glad the younger generations are applauding our music. Enjoy!!!
This period of Pink Floyd was about Sick Syd and his decline into madness. Syd Barrett was the founder and slowly lost grip of reality in a copious deluge of street corner pharmaceuticals. This theme would be a solid foundation for the band that he founded and Syd would live in his mothers basement and show up back stage at Pink Floyd gigs from time to time in a wheelchair. He did record after his breakdown without much success. He passed from cancer at 60 years of age and his legacy was stellar. Pink Floyd holds so many records and Dark Side of the Moon spent 750 weeks on the billboard charts straight, fell out and regained status. They were perfection in concert and haven't toured in over 20 years.
I knew of the original singer guitarist of Pink Floyd! I bought their first album but threw it in the pile of albums! It wasn’t till years later I decided to give it a real try! Then I discovered Syd! And what Floyd were writing about and where they drew a bunch of their inspirations from! So love that first but it may role right off the casual listeners ear which is understandable! Still love your take on 70’s Rock! Bless you!!
Hello India, Love you Channel and Reactions. You are one of the FEW REACTORS who are REAL and SINCERE...!! If you Love R&B Smooth Jazz (I grew up listening to it all..!!)then I'm going to open up your World to without a doubt one of THE GREATEST Musicians EVER..!! You can even do a Reaction to Him and his Legendary Group called "The Pat Metheny Group" featuring "Lyle Mays" who is equally as talented. Their music will open your Mind and Soul to a whole new Realm of Emotion...... First song I suggest you listen to which is to me, one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER WRITTEN; "September Fifteenth", which is a song written about the day the Great Jazz Pianist Bill Evans died. He was Miles Davis pianist so you know he was legendary. There are so many songs to suggest; "5-5-7", "Are We There Yet" just for starters. Peace Beautiful Sister.............
Pink Floyd was one of the first bands that left me breathless. Very few artists of that time were as unconcerned with commercial playability. And our girl India's dreamy expression during the intro is pure joy to me.
A wise choice to close your eyes at times. As much as the visuals in Pink Floyd's videos were incredibly psychedelic, and ahead of their time, musically sometimes its good to disassociate with our modern penchant for "watching" music videos, and take the time to just listen to the music. These were the days when albums reigned true, and singles weren't as dominant. This was a song to just sit in your living room and just let the record play. No distractions, just feeling it.

Yeah, I was in my teens also when this was released. In the jargon of those "hippie days", it was "head music." (Helps to have a heart, also)
Don't forget to light up a joint ;)
Very true. Sometimes, with a little magic mushroom.
A better, but sadder world somehow. Maybe just more real.
Mr. David Gilmour says so much, without saying a single word.
He truly does.
He’s a God of music

i first listened to this when the album came out. Picked it up from my local record shop, took it round to my friends house whose parents where away. We lit up a big joint and just chilled out. The only way to listen to it .lol
We don't understand? Oh, but we truly do. 40 years ago when released.
Yeah. It’s like getting a shoulder message through your ears! 🦻🦻
Gilmour guitar explains Syd's mind.. the atmosphere.. with great details.. the dread, the dissociation.. everyhting you'd expect knowing Syd condition and makes you feel it into the soul...BUT ALL WITHOUT SAYING A FUCKING WORD.. No other guitarists can say so much with a few guitar notes.. GOD HIMSELF
Welp, when I snuck into my older brothers room as a teen and saw his high tech turntable and top of the line high wattage components I had to hear something on it. I put on Shine on you Crazy Diamond and was transformed to another dimension with my virgin sensory ears and eyes at that age. No doubt they were doing something out of the ordinary.
Congratulations girlfriend, you have just listened to arguably that best, re most epic, Pink Floyd song ever! And watching you get into the tune the way did pretty much proves the point!
"Dark Side of the Moon" & "The Wall" are hugely popular records, but the album Wish You Were Here is, in my humble opinion, the best Pink Floyd album there is!
I totally agree! My dad & I would sit on the floor against the wall in our basement, listen to this album, & feel it through the wall! I think of him whenever I hear any of it, now. RIP Syd & Dad!
This song is best played... VERY LOUD! :-) My favourite PF song
I love this song. This song oozes heartbreak
🎸🎸🎸 Shine on You Crazy Diamond, you Crazy Diamond🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
First time I heard this song, I like fell asleep or something cause all of sudden it felt like warm water was filling the room. And the moment it went over my head I flew out of my body. I flew through space until I came upon a tree made of light and colors. Then my friend knocked on my window and it felt I was slammed back into myself. Song was only like a few minutes in, crazy experience lol
Floyd makes you kick back and relax and enjoy the adventure stoned or straight it makes you feel calm and relaxed I go to sleep at night to Floyd just about like you almost did
Back when I was young and foolish I thought a song had to have a lot of words to sound right then a friend played this for me. As the music trickled in my ears my soul opened as did my mind. That was many years ago and to this day I get high listening to Pink Floyd. It is like a calm flows through my body and washes my soul clean of all the daily drama
listen to the live verson from delicate sound of thunder concert.It is on youtube.The sound and arangement is better hair on your arms will stand up.Also the great gid in the sky on the same concert is jaw dropping
Turn the lights off, put on your headphones and drift off into another world. That’s how I listen to Pink Floyd.
All of Shine On's music is centered on Richard Wright's musician playing.RIP Rick
He was the glue of the band, & very under appreciated
Syd Barrett apparently left the band by walking from London to Cambridge
Maybe off topic..but I'm going to say it anyway..You are one of the most beautifull woman i've ever seen in my life.
Iconic Floyd the masters of allowing you to interact with their sound in your own way. Mine is in a dark room with headphones on and a glass of single malt scotch. So glad the younger generations are applauding our music. Enjoy!!!
Pink Floyd for ever❤
This period of Pink Floyd was about Sick Syd and his decline into madness. Syd Barrett was the founder and slowly lost grip of reality in a copious deluge of street corner pharmaceuticals. This theme would be a solid foundation for the band that he founded and Syd would live in his mothers basement and show up back stage at Pink Floyd gigs from time to time in a wheelchair. He did record after his breakdown without much success. He passed from cancer at 60 years of age and his legacy was stellar. Pink Floyd holds so many records and Dark Side of the Moon spent 750 weeks on the billboard charts straight, fell out and regained status. They were perfection in concert and haven't toured in over 20 years.
The masters of expressing their emotions. Talking about a emotional ride that mourns the loss of a friend even if he's not dead.
That saxophone is so sexy. Everybody pushes meditation these days LOL they should just push this band on people LOL
RIP syd you crazy diamond ✌💜🎶
I was 15 or 16 when Pink Floyd was a daily part of my music intake. I have always studied lyrics and meanings of songs. Cerebral music, for sure.
You should check out Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. It's one of the most legendary rock albums of all time.
You do not listen to Pink Floyd. You feel Pink Floyd. It's a whole diffrent experience.
I knew the second you closed your eyes, Pink Floyd caught you...lol "Mother" would be better because you would relate more!!!!!
I knew of the original singer guitarist of Pink Floyd! I bought their first album but threw it in the pile of albums! It wasn’t till years later I decided to give it a real try! Then I discovered Syd! And what Floyd were writing about and where they drew a bunch of their inspirations from! So love that first but it may role right off the casual listeners ear which is understandable! Still love your take on 70’s Rock! Bless you!!
Thank you Love
Your reactions from 6:30 to 7:20...... that artwork is very thought provoking.
Hello India, Love you Channel and Reactions. You are one of the FEW REACTORS who are REAL and SINCERE...!! If you Love R&B Smooth Jazz (I grew up listening to it all..!!)then I'm going to open up your World to without a doubt one of THE GREATEST Musicians EVER..!! You can even do a Reaction to Him and his Legendary Group called "The Pat Metheny Group" featuring "Lyle Mays" who is equally as talented. Their music will open your Mind and Soul to a whole new Realm of Emotion...... First song I suggest you listen to which is to me, one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER WRITTEN; "September Fifteenth", which is a song written about the day the Great Jazz Pianist Bill Evans died. He was Miles Davis pianist so you know he was legendary. There are so many songs to suggest; "5-5-7", "Are We There Yet" just for starters. Peace Beautiful Sister.............
Pink Floyd was one of the first bands that left me breathless. Very few artists of that time were as unconcerned with commercial playability. And our girl India's dreamy expression during the intro is pure joy to me.
I was 15 when this album came out it seems like yesterday now it's today and I'm an old man
Dave Gilmour is my guitar hero. My favourite Floyd piece.
A wise choice to close your eyes at times. As much as the visuals in Pink Floyd's videos were incredibly psychedelic, and ahead of their time, musically sometimes its good to disassociate with our modern penchant for "watching" music videos, and take the time to just listen to the music. These were the days when albums reigned true, and singles weren't as dominant. This was a song to just sit in your living room and just let the record play. No distractions, just feeling it.
Seeing this live was ABSOLUTELY INSANE, INCREDIBLE LIGHTING EFFECTS WERE SO INTENSE YOU DON'T EVEN NEED ACID TO TRIP .... WHAT A LIGHT SHOW THIS WAS!!
I recommend 'Wish You Were Here'!
