      It's not just that, every note he plays HAS to be there. With nearly all guitar solos there's some point where you think "Now you're just showing off". Not so with Gilmour. Changing anything in his solos would be like touching up the Mona Lisa with a marker. I have yet to hear a Pink Floyd cover that's an actual improvement over the original and I doubt I ever will.

    The album "The Division Bell", is largely about (non-) communication and especially about the mentality where simple words can often solve many problems in life.
    The Division Bell is the name of a bell that rings at the Palace of Westminster, Houses of Parliament (London, UK).
    The bell indicates to parliamentarians that the debates will resume, or that these debates are coming to an end, that it's time to move on to the final vote.
    To put this song in context, you could try: Pink Floyd - Keep Talking (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited).
    Here's a sample of what you might hear in Keep Talking: "Why won't you talk to me? - You never talk to me - What are you thinking?"

    Hi, I'm writing to you from Sicily, in southern Italy. I had the fortune, honor and joy of attending the Pink Floyd concert in Rome on 19 September 1994. I was only 17 years old and it was an unforgettable experience. It was incredibly emotional, and even today I am moved listening to them, just as I was moved that day at the concert. Groups like them should be eternal; they would never have to grow old to continue writing songs, or rather, poems. The Pink Floyd videos you are watching are taken from the "Pulse" tour, the one I participated in. However, I highly recommend you watch the entire movie "The Wall" by Pink Floyd.

It's a life changing song... Thank you for your wonderful reaction! It was a joy to watch.

    The bell in the background is “The Divison Bell” which is used in England to call lawmakers to come and vote.
    High Hopes was a last minute addition to the album. Supposedly David was inspired by something his wife said and he constructed the song and recorded a demo by himself in one night and the rest of the band came in and recorded the full song which was added to the album.

    The sounds at the begining are the sounds of the English countryside which transports me back to when I was a kid.
    Quite fitting for the song.
    A couple of decades back I was suffering from a form of depression, I hadn't felt anything for what felt like months and thought I was dead inside.
    One summers day driving home from work this song came on the CD player and when I got to the slide guitar solo at the end I felt for the first time in what felt like a long time and all my emotions came out all at once.
    I had to pull over because I was crying so much and couldn't drive.
    Once I composed myself the rest of the drive home I felt lighter and clearer than I had in weeks and the depression never came back (it's flittered round the edges on occasions but never settled since.)
    It was the most amazing catharsis I've ever felt.
    This song still takes me back to a childhood in the country with church bells ringing out from villages on a Sunday, endless summers, bees and simpler times.
    Music is amazing!

Those two compositions are in a way anthems of many generations ... also pay attention to David Gilmour's solo work after Pink Floyd. you will hear more absolutely phenomenal music.

    'High Hopes' is a composition rich in poetic images and symbolism. Released on the album 'The Division Bell' in 1994, the song is often interpreted as a reflection on the past, the loss of innocence and the progressive passage of time. The lyrics, written by guitarist David Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson, evoke a sense of longing for an idyllic time and place, possibly the band members' youth and the early days of their musical career.
    The expression 'world of magnets and miracles' can be seen as a metaphor for the fascination and enchantment of childhood, where everything seems possible and the world is full of wonders. The song also mentions 'the long road' and 'the boardwalk', indicating a journey that the band members have traveled together, and questions whether there is still a common meeting point, 'by the cut', changing changes in relationships and the dynamics of the group.
    The song's chorus, with its repetitions of 'The grass was greener, The light was brighter', highlights the human tendency to idealize the past, seeing it as a time of greater vivacity and happiness. The song ends with the image of an 'endless river', perhaps symbolizing the continuity of life and the eternal search for satisfaction and fulfillment, despite the many times we have already walked the same path. 'High Hopes' is a melancholic meditation on the human desire to achieve our dreams and aspirations, whilst struggling with the realities of life and the weight of our ambitions.
    The story about the creation of "High Hopes" is extremely curious. For those who imagine that such a crafted and detailed song would have required a long time to mature, David Gilmour brings a completely opposite reality. He says:
    "High Hopes was actually supposed to be the last song on the album (Division Bell), a kind of finale, in one way or another. It's one of those songs that you work on quickly but beautifully, almost immediately. I carried some ideas with me into a cassette tape, with just a few bars of piano, and I went to a little house somewhere with Polly, to try to make some progress on writing lyrics. She gave me a phrase and very quickly we wrote it. Then I went back to the studio, with no one else there, I completed it and put it in a demo. I did everything myself and I can say that it was completed virtually in a single day."

    Great song choice. That particular guitar is not frequent in rock music. It is a lot more popular in Folk, Country and Island music, but they ruled it! What amazed me is why did it take so long to give them a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?!

    My favorite Pink Floyd song is Coming Back to Life. It is one of their very few feel good songs. It's about, no matter who has put you through the wringer and crapped on you in the past, saying screw that I'm going back to my hopes and dreams and goals, with or without you. The bell tolling at the beginning is The Division Bell, a bell that is rung in British Parliament to signal and time (8 minutes) to vote for or against a resolution. It also signals the start of the day and 2 minutes of prayer. You're not far off, it's actually an epilogue, looking back on your life in old age and the High Hopes you had for your life when you were young.

    Excellent reaction. This is probably their best song post Roger Waters. I have had the pleasure of seeing this live 5 times. It definitely hits the feels. And since you are doing Pink Floyd and Nightwish on the channel, the next logical song choice would be the Nightwish cover/tribute of this song. Out of the 200+ concerts I have attended, Pink Floyd and Nightwish were probably the best shows start to finish.

    I believe you are spot on with your reaction Stacey. Pink Floyd's music has much emotional content and is so easy to relate to and David's gift of playing touches the soul of us all. This year I turn 60, with graying hair and wrinkles starting to arrive, i am left contemplative which I suspect is much the point of his music. Hope you find as many years enjoying them as I have!

    I heard this song first in 1994 on cassette I bought the day it was released.

They’re all there to evoke something in us all. And the solo still does it to me 30 years later

    Another great reaction, Stacey. You are definitely not alone when shedding soulful tears during Pink Floyd's transcendent music..... I'd like to break down this great Pulse concert for you, in regards to the type of music they perform at this show. For more beautiful, moving ballads, check out Shine On You Crazy Diamond (the concert opener), Wish You Were Here, The Great Gig In The Sky, and Us And Them. When you want a break from tearing up, go to their faster songs, which have a unique, mesmerizing power all their own: Keep Talking, Another Brick In The Wall, One Of These Days, Sorrow, and the concert finale: Run Like Hell.... Another great rocker from an earlier concert (1987): The Dogs Of War (from the same Delicate Sound Of Thunder film you watched for On The Turning Away). For me, it is one of the great over-looked gems from Pink Floyd's live performances.

Never, ever be afraid to show your emotions - especially where Pink Floyd is concerned. Their music has a way of pulling on your emotions, then ripping them to shreds. This is an amazing piece of music by the masters, so it's no wonder you cried - Hey, I cried too when seeing your reaction. Would LOVE to see you react to the whole of DSOTM. The thing should be listened to in it's entirety in one sitting. It's at that point when the whole album concept hits you in the gut. Take that as fair warning. Keep it up gal.

    Stacey, I love your heartfelt reactions. I’m 64 years old, and they have been a favorite of mine for many years. David makes the guitar sing. Would you like to hear young Pink Floyd? In 1971, released in 1972, they recorded Echoes in an ancient outdoor stadium in Pompeii, Italy. No audience. Just them and the film crew. One of the TH-cam videos that captures this is Pink Floyd-“Echoes” Pompeii. That is Part 1 on the HDPinkFloyd channel. A video that shows both parts is Pink Floyd-Echoes/Live at Pompeii (full). I highly recommend. A year after this, in 1973, came their hugely successful Dark Side of the Moon album.

    It is a reflection on the cycle of life, from childhood exploration to the colorization we all realize as we bind ourselves to others views of the world and being to loose our individuality through the creation of habits. Reflecting back, everything seemed more vivid then (the grass was greener) We get lost and loose our connection to the universe as we develope filters the second we enter this planet and begin looking externally for acceptance and definition of self. That connection never left us....and we return to it when we die....and some of us.......we seek the connection once we undersand the game and those people usually are artists....channeling the universes energy and transfering it to those we present our work to.....much like Pink Floyd does with their music. And we affect every sould we touch.....reminding them that the connection to "all that is"....is in you too. Being at Floyd concerts have written pages into my souls book that truly have affected and changed my life in finding that connection again.

    "Echoes" off the "Meddle" album is a must. It's long - it took up the entire "B" side of the vinyl - so maybe not the best for a reaction video, but just listen to it for yourself.
    There are three standout versions IMHO: the studio recording, the original "live in Pompeii", and David Gilmour live in Gdansk. The first 2 are going back towards the origins of Pink Floyd, shortly after Syd left and the lineup became the "classic" Gilmour, Mason, Waters, and Wright. They were recorded in 1971, so over a half century ago.
    The Gdansk version is brilliant and extra poignant because it's the last time David would ever perform it, as we lost Richard Wright to cancer not long afterwards and David said he'd never play it without Richard. That was the last ever Pink Floyd related performance of Richard's. #fuckcancer
