On the floor, in the dark, headphones.... listening to the best music ever written
We listened to Echoes as the last song on Saturday nights for over a decade.
Actually, Angela, this is an album that's required to be listened to from start to finish.
Exactly everybody does the same Floyd is experience anf this album is about madness all is an sequence of thoughts!
Agreed
Even though the tracks on this album can stand alone , they actually folw.into one another. Think of each song as a chapter in a book.
Played start to finish in the dark with headphones....
Definitely, with a lava lamp, black lights, at least 500 watts and some fine weed. Perfect!
I'm sure that someone else will say it in the comments as well, but the whole album should be listened to at least a few times, not just this song. I'm glad to see you back to Pink Floyd, Angela, lovely reaction as always! :)
So glad to see your thoughtful comments on this song. A lot of credit goes to Alan Parsons, the sound engineer on this album. It's very deep, and I hope you get a chance to look more into the lyrics of this, and the others on The Dark Side of the Moon!
One doesn't LISTEN to Pink Floyd - one EXPERIENCES them. Thanks for your reaction.
One of my favorite songs by them. Glad you liked it!!😊
You must listen to Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish to fully appreciate the genius of it.
Such a mellow song it's GREAT!!! Thank you Angie !!!!!
The sax work is phenomenal on this song! No wonder this album sold millions.
Lol...I read your comment as "SEX WORK"....both are true though!
Yes it was the sax
yes. listening in a dark room with headphones and just let it sink into. the theater of the mind.
The whole Dark Side of the Moon album is a masterpiece! 👍👍
My favorite Floyd song on my favorite album.
A tremendous song from what is one of the very best albums ever, Dark Side of the Moon. It has even more impact and relevance as part of the whole album. Even if you don't want to do album reactions, that album is worth you time on a weekend night when you have 45 minutes to spare, it would be time well spent to say the least and you get the whole picture of their look at the human condition. Check the lyrics as well. You will love it for sure, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
So true - get comfortable, turn out the lights and play the whole album without gaps between the tracks. Its an experience like no other.
Halelujah!!A relevant and great musical pick!!! Pink Floyd is Amazing! This is what I'm always railing about!!
FYI this album was designed to be listen to all at once as the songs merge into each other and tell a story.... 🎶♥️🔥💯 #FANTASTIC
I was in high school when this album came out. They made a ton of money off this one. One of the best bands and album that ever was. This is one of those albums that you have to listen to from beginning to end.
Absolutely.
Funny you should say that about listening in the dark, as that is, traditionally, an ideal situation to be listening to Dark Side Of The Moon. Opinions vary widely as to the merits of Roger Waters' lyrics, but I think he sums up the futility of war brilliantly in these lines from Us And Them:
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
You gotta hear how this song transitions into "Any Colour you Like"
I've always thought this is the greatest album ever made.
Did you notice the weird ending? That is because it goes directly into another song and I have never heard that ending. Then Brain Damge/eclipse ends that side of the album
i USED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG....DURING COLLEGE ..3 or 4 times each night. during the 1970s. -
yes.good headphones, a comfortable chair, & a dark room.from begining to end.its an amazing experience.why its still a big seller after being released 50 years ago.a once in a lifetime album.
A pure classic and sooooo good to dance to with someone you 😘
I've never been a Pink Floyd fan, but if I can meaningfully be said to have a favorite song by them, this is it
"In a dark room" -- you are prime for Pink Floyd.
Listening to Pink Floyd albums in their entirety in a dark room with headphones is a tradition for PF fans. I think it is safe to say that the album this song is on -- The Dark Side Of The Moon -- may have began this practice. Or at least solidified it.
Lol...many, many years ago I used to listen to "The Wall" in a dimly lit room at high volume while engaging in illicit substances! Fast forward some 40 years, I retired from a "sensitive" career. Being that those same substances were no longer illegal in the state I was in, I participated in a little nostalgia reunion.
Quite the experience!
@@jefflast9489 No doubt. The Wall is a "dark room" album, also. As is Wish You Were Here and Animals. And let's not expand out to other 70's bands [ like Yes, Jethro Tull, etc. ], cuz I am too lazy at the moment to think of em and type it up in this comment.
Slightly messed up by having to get up put the lights on and turn the record over…….🤔😂
@@scifimonkey3 but the payoff was well worth it
My favorite Pink Floyd song along with Comfortably Numb
This album is a masterpiece
My favorite songs from them are Run Like Hell and Learning to Fly
this is a good album to play right before bed.
This is gonna b a damn good reaction 💯🔥😎🎶🎼🎵 this is 1 of my many favorite Pink Floyd song's 🎵🎼🎶😎🔥💯
More Pink Floyd! How about reacting to 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'.
Have a cigar!!!
Read the lyrics along with the some sometime, it's basically about war somewhat from the perspective of a soldier. You are right, this is a driving song, and I have listened to it many times doing just that.
Pink Floyd on my various cars sound systems over the last 50+ years has got me home from numerous concerts!
your comment about listening to it in a dark room absolutely its awesome I've done that many times with the whole album dark side of the moon
Not enough can be said… this song, this album, will stay with you, and only grow more meaningful as you age and become more wise. Of course it was born in the 1970s, of course. Music like this could not have come from any other era. One of the world’s best creations, we can only love humanity more because it was capable of creating THIS.
Rick Wright's composition, "Us and Them", dates back to 1969 and was intended for film (Zabriskie Point). Then called "The Violent Sequence", it was a piano/bass instrumental that was to play during the final sequence of the film, where a house explodes. But Antonioni judged the piece "pretty but too sad" and "reminded him of the church". He preferred "Careful with That Axe, Eugene", which suited this sequence much better.
I always thought the lyric was “ havnt you heard, it’s a battle of words, and most of them are lies!” Only recently had I learned otherwise, it just got so perfectly .
this was the first album I ever bought in 1973. they used a lot of stereo separation back then and it sounded very cool to sit right between the speakers and crank it up..often while doing some excellent mind altering substances.
Any Colour You Like, the next song on the album, is a trip.
Beautiful piece that still sounds great 50 years later. Great reaction
Please listen to shine on you crazy diamond, it's about Sid Barrett the original singer. It deals with his journey into madness.tyvm hun❤
This has to be played daily, IMO, from start to finish, it puts life into perspective
I am curious to see your reaction to the Pink Floyd song The Great Gig in the sky. Pink Floyd let an outsider in the studio named Clare Torry to perform this piece. What this woman did was create perfection without saying a word and if you let it they can move you to tears. Oh I think you have a killer smile as well.
Pink Floyd doesn't just create music, they make art. It is life-changing and it only grows in influence over the years as you age with it! I first heard Pink Floyd when the album Animals was released in January of 1977 when I was in the 5th grade and it continues to grow on me today. It's fun to watch young people experience Pink Floyd for the first time but you should know that the experience of you doing so can reduce an old Pink Floyd fan like me to tears. Just realize that in 50 years from today this same music may still impact your life in a profound way... not something you can say about most music!
This ain't dancin' at the club music, just the usual Pink Floyd drowning in dystopia brilliance.
Brilliant Roger Waters lyrics, lead vocal by David Gilmour backed by Clare Torry, tenor sax by Dick Parry, lovely piano interlude by Richard Wright, and the rest - all contribute to a timeless classic. Thanks for sharing Angela, but why cut it short?
It wasn't cut short
@@Ashley4029 Fair point. As I recall it kind of segues into 'Any colour you like'. but the edit is rather abrupt after all that tranquility. Perhaps a slow fade would have been better.
Clare Torry - only did the vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky"
On the rest of the album, the backing vocals are done by: Doris Troy - Lesley Duncan - Liza Strike - Barry St. John.
@@thepragmatic6383 Thank you for sharing this info. I stand corrected again. It would not have been difficult to check. That'll teach me.
On my personal list of 100 favorite songs of all time. Takes me back to early experiences smoking marijuana. Great memories that I forget.
Dark side is a masterpiece, definitely gotta hear it from beginning to end
Shine on you crazy diamond
With... Without.....and who'll deny, it's what the fightings all about..... 😢
Yes, indeed. Absolute classic line.
You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them.
The whole album (Dark Side of the Moon) is a masterpiece
Without listening to anything else from the week, this will always be one of the top three songs of the week.
Got one that's a big contrast in terms of tempo and vocals, "Moanjam" by King's X. Doug Pinnick's singing will bring you to church! 🙌🏼
As mentioned by others in the comments you really need to listen to the entire album to achieve the desired effect
I saw them Dark Side Of The Moon tour, incredible. They played for over an hour, took a 15 minute break to totally reset the stage and then they did the whole Dark Side album. Just a fantastic show. Every song takes you on a journey.
The album is a Bible for modern life. Still relevant even 50 years on, human being are still human beings.
Definitely needs to be done in 2 hits (side 1 / side 2) themes follow and each track transitions directly into the next.
Side 1 life death and fear of death.
Side 2 the struggles aspirations and threats we all face.
"There is no dark side of the Moon really, matter of fact its all dark"
(the only thing that makes it light is the sun)
Dark Side of the Moon is a great album, 50 years old now! This song follows on from the up tempo Money, and smoothly drops the tempo. A beautiful song with that great sax-Colin Ward
Great reaction. You could do a reaction for every song on this album.
THERE'S SOME ( GOOD SAX ) THAT YOU LOVE SO MUCH BABY! 😊 I ALWAYS SMILE AT THAT PHRASE, ESPECIALLY WHENEVER I SAY IT ANGELA! 😊
Dark Room, that's how you listen to Pink Floyd , Headphones on Head back , Eyes shut, and just relax
More Pink Floyd!
YOU REALLYYYYY GET THE ( PINK FLOYD ) EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE ALBUMS ANGELA 😊AND OF COURSE THAT WAS A SONG FROM THE EPIC 73 ( DARK SIDE OF THE MOON )👍ANYWAY YOU TAKE GREAT CARE GIRL! 😊
This is a song that "can't be just listened to". A nice set of headphones, lying on the bed, in a relax set of mind.
Hold on..gotta turn the lights down and grab a beer and get ready to experience this all over again...get into the Zone...lol.
Kids today will never ever really know how it felt like listening to these kinds of music in the era they were written.
Classic song. Thanks for reacting to this great song Angela!🎉
Hi Ms. D., Very different, I love it.. ♠W.G.
This group will resonate with some but I agree listening to their music over again gives you a better Understanding of the melodies and words. It took me awhile to listen to them but I really enjoy them. Different genre's of music also brings back memories. THANK YOU ANGELA🫶🎶
Hi Angela, to experience this music fully you have to listen to the whole album which can be done in two parts. It’s truly an experience as the album originally came on a vinyl record with two sides. You will experience a totally mesmerizing experience if you do that. Love watching your reviews!
You need to hear the complete song, this version is missing the devine last sax solo...
You would love "The Great Gig in the Sky" off this album. VERY POWERFUL VOCALS. Quick tip, it's about the stages of dealing with death. Your own or a loved one.
This is definitely one that you want to listen to the lyrics.
If you want to see the guys "back in the day" playing in an ancient Roman Amphitheatre with No Audience.
Check out Pink Floyd "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972
A little song about all life on the entire planet and how we should be better human beings
Pink Floyd is magic. The only issue is comparing other bands to them. Needless to say there is no comparison.
Another one from this album is the Great Gig in the Sky. A must listen
Back in the day, the college DJ said "I'm about to play you something unlike anything you've ever heard before.'' And he was right.
Angela.... Dark Side should be listened to, start to finish... Andvwith a good 18 year old scotch....
Or some fine, legal cannabis. 👍
Put yourself in a dark room and play the whole album you’ll never be the same again
Dark side of the moon is something that needs to be listened to in its fullest. From start to finish.. I often tell people that this album isn't in my top 5 because it'd be like saying the bible is your favourite book.... dark side of the moon isn't an album...its the truth!! I don't even listen to this genre of music. Not my thing but pink floyd is completely different. Masters. Gatekeepers. Innovators. Just amazing. U don't listen to it u feel it..headphones is a must
This is why Adolphe invented the saxofone...
HEY YOU YA LITTLE BARBIE DOLL!!! 😊
Their early material was and is such a mind trip, one that can't be explained or understood! That is their appeal, mystery, fear, confusion, dread, an existential crisis that has you searching for the meaning of it all, but The Universe won't give up its secrets, at least 🚫 not yet! 🫂 Goodbye!
Remember this part of the song that is spoken rather then sung? The following dialogue by the band's roadie, Roger "The Hat" Manifold, one of his two spoken segments on the album, is heard before the second saxophone solo (5:04):
Well I mean, they're not gonna kill ya, so like, if you give 'em a quick sh ... short, sharp shock, they don't do it again. Dig it? I mean 'e got off light, 'cause I coulda given 'im a thrashin' but I only hit 'im once. It's only the difference between right and wrong innit? I mean good manners don't cost nothin' do they, eh?[9]
There’s an old wives tale that if you time this album on repeat with “The Wizard of Oz” cool stuff happens. Lol. I’ve done it a few times.
I wish I could rediscover this for the first time
Listen to the entire album from start to finish. Do it without pausing from a dark room with headphones on, and be sure to include your preferred mind-claiming substance. That's how many of us chose to experience this album back in the day, and sometimes still do.
Im not being pervy, I swear, but you are STUNNING. One of the most beautiful women ive ever seen. Love your videos, and best wishes.
🙏🤞 light some 🕯️🕯️ and start at the beginning with a Vinyl Album of Dark Side of the Moon 🌙 ... Flow to a Destination!!!!!☺️ Once in awhile it's a fantastic way to travel 😉😍✌️❤️
You have beautiful hair🌹
You don't often hear a song that uses a minor/major 7th chord so prominently as this. Maybe in old horror movie music but definitely not like this. Pretty ballsy of them.
You should do “sorrow “ from pulse
i always took this as a sad coda to the Sixties and their "activism".
Holds up today. Eventually we will have to eat the rich.
👏🏻👏🏻😃
Be brave = the hole thing one go or two parts
Genesis by Jorma Kaukonen 🙏 please!
😝😝🤘🤘
For the want of the price, Of tea and a slice, The old man died. The 'old man' was Roger Waters father
How about Sam Smith - Lay me down?
You need to listen to the whole album. DEL FUEGOS...BACKSEAT NOTHING
I hope you're not a fan of the new Barbie movie, my heart would be broken.
Ain't nothing in the world of music like Us and them transitioning to any colour you like.... it's just not right not to react to us and them alone
