These guys are so awesome. I know some of the comment might be just playing ... but it doesn't matter ... any day of the week these guys are awesome. Seeing another generation discover a song like Kiss - "I was made for loving you" in real time is priceless. Keep going guys. Don't fold.
Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Glad you enjoyed this lads Floyd has hundreds of awesome songs, follow the rabbit hole!
Lost my dad to a heart attack two years ago. He died right in my arms. Every time we heard this song in the car I would always ask him to tell me about the story of him seeing Pink Floyd in concert for the first time. It was a story that never got old for me and apparently not for him either. He always had a genuine smile on his face while he spoke and you could see the joy in his eyes of happier, simpler times. As always, love you guys and keep rocking on. You will always have fans in this house. Thank you ❤❤❤
Straight up beautiful watching you all go from joking, laughing pre-game chat to being all sucked into the spiritual depth of this sweet song. You guys are awesome -
The song is about the frontman of the band who was so lost and disconnected from reality because of the drugs he was using. This song means a lot to anybody who grew up in this time. Especially the writer of the song who lost his friend to something he had no idea how to help. One of if not there best songs.
@@BENFICA60- I agree! Sid could have done all the drugs in the world. Drugs do not induce schizophrenia. He was in the early stages of schizophrenia when he left the band. Sad.
My husband died last year at age 52. This was our song as we had been apart 30 years before we reconnected. It was played at our wedding and it wad the last thing i played for him before i turned off life support. Pink floyd has gotten me through so much for 40 years. Life altering
Dawn... I too have a very similar story. I married my childhood sweetheart at age 35. He passed 1yr 18 days later, age 39. This was our wedding song as well. We had 2 fish in fish bowls on each table. I also played it for him before he passed... bless your heart darlin... kindred spirits we are. I'm now 53. 🥰
Aloha Dawn, My husband of 40 years left this world last year on thanksgiving day. We were together since I was 20 yrs old. The pain of lose is excruciating. I hope you are doing better than me. I was screaming into my pillow just this morning. Pink Floyd is my go to music.
Was my son's favorite Pink Floyd song. Now his father & I are just "two lost souls swimmin' in a fishbowl...year after year...wish you were here..." Fly high, my son...high & free
Okay, dudes, so that you understand: Pink Floyd music was not and is not meant for mainstream radio airplay. They found incredible success in “non-commercial” music. Taste in their music isn’t for everyone, but they have proved time and time again that their non-radio music is a huge success. Yes, it just may not be to your taste. That’s ok.
Gentlemen. Pink Floyd - 'Comfortably Numb' Live from the Pulse Widely regarded as possibly the greatest guitar solo of all time. "You don't listen to Floyd, you *experience* it."
This is my favorite Floyd song...for sentimental reasons. I was 11 when this came out and my brother moved away. He called me and played this song over the phone to me because he knew I missed him so much. I remember feeling so loved by my big brother every time I hear it.
Pink Floyd is legit one of the most revolutionary bands of al time. This is one of their chillest songs, but once you get down the rabbit hole there are like 30 absolute classics.
Pink Floyd made some of the greatest music ever recorded. They are timeless. They also were big on social justice and tackling difficult societal issues.
The beauty of Pink Floyd is they seem to speak to people from all ages and walks of life. I've had friends that only listen to Metal and family members into old time country and even my neighbor who is strictly a classical music fan....and yet they all know Pink Floyd songs and rank them among their favorites.
Agreed. If you guys really just want to experience the Pink Floyd thing and understand what it was that made them so special, 'The Dark Side of the Moon' album as a whole would be the perfect point of entry.
Time and Brain Damage/Eclipse are my favorite tracks on Dark Side. I’ve listened to that album so many times that I’ve pretty much played out all of the other songs on the album. I’m sure that I’ll go back to loving the whole thing again though.
I had a feeling these lyrics were going to hit you guys. Glad they did. Pink Floyd is very different than anyone else. And their sound can be very different from album to album and song to song. I HIGHLY recommend listening to the entire Dark Side of the Moon album, from track 1 to the end. Even if you break it up over time. The whole album is only around 45 minutes too, so not that much time to spend for something SO worth it. I am positive you guys will dig it. The vibe is undeniable and the lyrics are deeply profound.
from a pure artistic standpoint, Pink Floyd is the greatest rock and roll band of all time. Because you don't just listen to Pink Floyd; you experience it! It's something you can feel in your whole body. And not all their music is slow. But most is admittedly played at a more leisure pace than prototypical rock bands - because their music is about vibing and reflection; it's music for the soul. that you just close your eyes and lose yourself in it.
I have grown old listening to some of the greatest bands ever. I believe only a few of them will have their music being played 100 years from now. Pink Floyd is at the top of that shortlist.
We said the same thing almost word for word lol, I just said that on their comfortably numb reaction, this my second and your comment threw me for a loop like deja vu. I am smoking a big ass joint while watching floyd reactions tho, could be sumthin to do w it 😂
I know you guys will never read this but I just have to tell you...today is my birthday and it's been seriously shitty. I knew coming to watch you guys would cheer me up and you did,like you always do. The sincerity you put into listening and looking for the deeper meaning in the videos you watch ...it just makes me feel good to see younger folks appreciate music I grew up on and continue to find meaning from. So, Thanks.
Pink Floyd is deep and contemplative music for the soul. You've got to listen to the song Time and pay close attention to the lyrics. What he's singing about is so true.
Yes, do all parts of Shine on you crazy diamond. Pink Floyd is not just music it’s a vehicle to transport you through your mind and across the Universe if you let it in. Close your eyes, open your ear holes and just experience it.
I really love seeing the younger generation deep diving into old music like this with an open mind. I thoroughly enjoy this channel. I like that you pay attention to the lyrics, look up the meaning of the songs and all. Loving this channel right now ❤
Same. I've watched several different review channels, and this one is by far the best because they reflect on the lyrics and don't just listen to the music.
There are so many bangers from Pink Floyd! One of their probably more commercial songs, but actually one of my favourites, is "Money", a criticism as money being kind of the root of all evil... Definitely worth listening to!
We had this played at my sons funeral Christmas 2 years ago . He used to play this on the guitar and sing when we would sit out by the firepit . This song has a lot more meaning to me than it did when I first heard it when it came out .
For me it's been almost 4yrs. since my son's death...the firepit in our back yard has never been the same. He succumbed to his demons from PTSD serving in Irag. I take the words to mean this is the way a Vet looks at coming home from war to civilian life...the struggle is more than real for a lot of our soldiers. 😢
Lisaray , im very sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I'm sure the impact of the song is hundreds of times stronger now that you've attached your son's memory to it. God bless your family and his memory always, especially when you listen to wish you were here
@Lisa Ray I’m so sorry for your loss, my boyfriend bought this tape for me before he died in 1977. We saw the Dark Side of the Moon Tour together in 1973 I still cry when I hear it, music is emotion, and Pink Floyd were masters. I’m very sorry
Lyrically one of the best bands of all time. My favorite Pink Floyd lyric is "you have to be trusted, by the people that you lie too, so that when they turn their back on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in"
it should probably be noted, especially for anyone that's not familiar with them, that they're talking about politicians (well, i guess it could just as easily apply to a shady used car salesman or any number of other types of scumbags). as powerful a line now as it is ever was, if not more.
@@janetking2035 the song is 'Dogs' from the Pink Floyd album 'Animals' (1977). "...the album's lyrics describe various classes in society as different kinds of animals: the predatory dogs, the despotic ruthless pigs, and the "mindless and unquestioning” herd of sheep."
Pink Floyd is not just a band, they are an experience.... My favorite band of all time. And this is my favorite song. I listen to this when I am missing my baby brother who passed in 2020.... Once again I will reiterate watch their movie The Wall......
This...Song...OMG... It means so much to me. Great reaction guys. I cannot implore you enough to listen to Dark side of the moon in its entirety as well as the wall. You will have to invest some time but man what a ride you will embark on.
I am a veteran and my best friend whom I met in Training camp for the Air Force Play this song for each other because we live in different states and 1000 miles away and it is a calling card for us to go on vacation to see each other. There is nothing like a friendship that was based on watching out for each other while we served. I’m not afraid to say it but I love my brother we will be best friends till we die.
ACDC with Back in black, PINK FLOYD with Dark side of the moon, MICHAEL JACKSON with Thriller and QUEEN with greatest hit of queen aré the most important albums in history of music, soldest, react to those álbums Please, 🤘🇨🇴🤘🇨🇴🤘🇨🇴🤘
1 luv... Game of thrones GOATED. Check out Journey... Faithfully and open arms.. Live and studio sound the same. They were in WE ARE THE WORLD(steve perry)
This band hits different. You reacted to comfortably numb a few months ago, which was a great reaction. If you're going to check out more Floyd, I would recommend taking them in albums. Not necessarily in one video, but start with the first song of an album and then do the second whenever, then the third, etc. You'll get a lot more from it. These guys wrote some pretty deep lyrics. The album this song is off of, this being the title track, is no exception. It's about an original band mate, "Syd Barrett," who literally went insane and was committed.
You guys should check out all the songs on this album. Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall were more popular but front to back Wish You Were Here was always my favorite Pink Floyd album.
Pink Floyd was my dads fav band. He and I weren’t very copasetic most of my life, but when he died two years ago outta nowhere from the vid, ever since I can’t hear this song without getting emotional. One of the greatest songs. And Pink Floyd one of the greatest of all time 🔥
You guys are killing me. I am a white boy ?.. sic ... I was a white boy from an all white town entering the army of 1986. I formed an all white Cadre of soldiers of my basic training platoon. We were as divided along racial lines as you could get. One day a group of black soldiers ambushed me in the baracks .... 7 to one. I readied myself to a beat down, I had it coming. The black guy said "what the fuck are you listenin' to"? He clicked my player and Metallica started playing ... all of us started moshing .... we laughed and yelled ... I haved never been the same since. We are the same people, seperated by the conversation we haven't said.
Now you goin in deep! Pink Floyd is an experience and you really have to do complete albums because each song on their albums tell a page of the story and when you do like you’re doing now and you’re skipping to three quarters through the book. If you listen closely during the guitar solo you can hear the angelic voice of one David Gilmour singing it with his guitar.
You guys are awesome, you just don't listen to the music, you really get into it deep! Pink Floyd is my favorite. You guys do a great job, keep it up!!
For saying that Sid had mental issues is not like mental issues that everybody has in current day... ... I believe it was much more like he was a vegetable he was in a psychword and ... Probably needs more research
One of my favorite bands. If you ever get the chance to see Roger Waters, you definitely should. It’s a spiritual experience. Check out Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, All Of Dark Side Of The Moon Album, All Of Wish You Were Here, All Of Animals, All Of All Of The Wall, Learning To Fly, Sorrow, Take It Back, & High Hopes. Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, & The Wall are concept albums, they all tell a story so it’s better to listen to the whole album instead of the individual songs
My father in law loved Pink Floyd, and he loved trout fishing in Scotland. He passed a few years back, and this song always brings me a mix of joy and sadness. When you said this is a song to fish to, it brought a tear to my eye.
Okay the beginning is listening to a friend of this we used to be with the band... The song is dedicated to him who is now passed and they wish he was there... So David Gilmore plays the same Beginning music that their band mate said played Earlier....
Good to see you reacting to this older music, these older rock bands had a lot of things going on at the time that influenced their songs. Think of the '60s, there was a lot going on politically and musically. Rock music was coming up and even giving birth to sub-genres - blues-rock, rock'n'roll, punk rock, etc. Couple of react suggestions: - Krayzie Bone - Clash of the Titans, which is a reaction to Eminem's Rap God. You can read up on Bone's influence in music. - Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (On the Night Live). These guys are from northern England and Mark Knopfler's guitar rifts are out of this world. This song was written during 1982 when Britain was involved in the Falklands war.
Was introduced to pink Floyd at 14 ..now 60 and this song makes me feel same way 45 plus years on... It's one best songs ever written ..Rock on lads ..shout out from Australia
Time, Comfortably Numb, Coming Back to Life are few of my absolute favorites. My favorite band since I was 13 and the greatest of all time. Young Lust is a solid rock track...
Still coming to terms that not everyone has delved into all pink floyd has to offer but im a big music fan so don’t mind me “Childhoods end” is a good song by them Also “Sheep” Who am i kidding yall just need to listen to the full albums like i did
Did you guys do the live version of Comfortably Numb? If not, then you definitely should. Especially with how much you guys loved Eric Clapton and his guitar playing. David Gilmour's solo on Comfortably Numb from The Pulse tour was amazing. He's a God on the guitar, just like Clapton. Those types of players are on a whole other level. Basically, there's life before you've seen that performance, and then there's life after watching that.
Guys, you should do their song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (parts 1-5) from the same album titled "Wish You Were Here." The second part of the song, parts 6-9, is at the end of the album.
It was so sad because Syd Barret was a complete genius but he suffered with schizophrenia and was institutionalized his whole life after he had a full breakdown, Drugs and the epic success of the band just put him over the edge. Many of the songs are nods to his genius and he was loved and missed by the other members to this day. One of my favorite all time bands. Like you said, you can just put them on and get lost in your feelings and thoughts for sure! xx.
You really have to listen to Pink Floyd as a whole. As others have said, sit in a dark room with a pair of headphones on and listen to The Wall all the way through. It's a story.
If you're looking for more Pink Floyd I'd recommend these: Shine on you crazy diamond pt1-5 (Great for mellow vibing, It's really long though and has a long intro too.) Time (this one has an awesome guitar solo and you have to pay attention to the lyrics, although that goes for almost every Pink Floyd song)
Hey friends. When you play Pink Floyd, always listen to their live performances. They are probably the best live musicians. The guitarist who is also the front singer is recognized as one of the two best guitar players in the world. He has such control over the guitar playing and the tones like no one else. There are no wild uncontrolled sounds from his guitar playing. Remember that now Pink Floyd must be heard live. Hear music from their live concert called LIVE PULSE. For example Run Like Hell from LIVE PULS Have a good day :-)
You all need to Light a Big ole Tight one and Light him up and turn the lights out leaving just the Reciever and Balance lights to flicker THEN Slide in the Albums,, ''' The Dark Side of The Moon'',, Then Pink Floyd's ''The Wall'', and Lastly,, ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason'' in that Order, why that order when there are so many Albums,,,, Well those 3 Albums Just Gel in that order IMO, I have a near complete collection of Pink Floyd missing only 2 Albums all on Vinyl, even Bigger than my ELO Collection ( lol ), I not long ago bought an original pressing of Rodriguez Cold Fact which is another Album that is a must for all to listen too, I have over 300 albums Vinyl and NO Turntable LOL 😵💫😵💫
You guys need girlfriends badly
Lol. Dude in the red beanie has one that is pregnant.
They’re just young having fun
they're homiesexual bro, stop being jealous
You need a wig 😉 brah!
you need to touch grass
These guys are so awesome. I know some of the comment might be just playing ... but it doesn't matter ... any day of the week these guys are awesome. Seeing another generation discover a song like Kiss - "I was made for loving you" in real time is priceless. Keep going guys. Don't fold.
Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Glad you enjoyed this lads Floyd has hundreds of awesome songs, follow the rabbit hole!
No lies detected
Don't encourage them ... they could end up having the time of there lives!
They are babies! GOAT band isn't for anyone 🤪🎵🎵🎵
That has to be THE best description of Pink Floyd I’ve ever heard! Pink Floyd has NO equal!
One of my favorite comments I've ever read
Time by Pink Floyd is one of their best songs and seriously a life changing experience
Yes. Make sure to listen to the official one from the Pink Floyd channel and not any of the low quality or pitched up downloads.
Yea I just realized they haven't done this.. they'll have to go on a Pink Floyd run after that
Animals is my favorite album by them, so good
The lyrics get more and more meaningful the older you get too.
bumping this. get the version with the lyrics though
SHine on You Crazy Diamond is far better i would say
Lost my dad to a heart attack two years ago. He died right in my arms.

I’m sorry for your loss
Thanks for sharing Marissa, your dad sounds like a great guy
I lost my Dad a year ago and he raised me on Pink Floyd so I'm sorry for yr loss❤
I just took my son to see Roger waters live and was one of the best days of our life.
Can't imagine how amazing could be watch all 4 members.
Straight up beautiful watching you all go from joking, laughing pre-game chat to being all sucked into the spiritual depth of this sweet song. You guys are awesome -
Saw that!!
The song is about the frontman of the band who was so lost and disconnected from reality because of the drugs he was using. This song means a lot to anybody who grew up in this time. Especially the writer of the song who lost his friend to something he had no idea how to help. One of if not there best songs.
Syd was a person who lived with schizophrenia, psychedelics or not.
Their best songs*
@@BENFICA60 It was the combination of mental health issues and drugs that did Syd in.
@@Thenutz779 thank you!
@@BENFICA60- I agree! Sid could have done all the drugs in the world. Drugs do not induce schizophrenia. He was in the early stages of schizophrenia when he left the band. Sad.

There’s so much to say, I don’t know what to say. Just know someone will be thinking of you when this song plays. Wishing you peace & good health 😊
Love is to share those things Betty ❤️
I already cry during this song. I can only imagine what emotions it brings to you.
I wish you the best.
Dawn... I too have a very similar story. I married my childhood sweetheart at age 35. He passed 1yr 18 days later, age 39. This was our wedding song as well. We had 2 fish in fish bowls on each table. I also played it for him before he passed... bless your heart darlin... kindred spirits we are. I'm now 53. 🥰
Aloha Dawn, My husband of 40 years left this world last year on thanksgiving day. We were together since I was 20 yrs old. The pain of lose is excruciating. I hope you are doing better than me. I was screaming into my pillow just this morning. Pink Floyd is my go to music.
Was my son's favorite Pink Floyd song. Now his father & I are just "two lost souls swimmin' in a fishbowl...year after year...wish you were here..." Fly high, my son...high & free
Much love man, hope you’re doing well
I wish he was here.
He is and y'all will see him again.
May your memories comfort you
It's the toughest road to walk

So sorry for your loss

Taste in their music isn’t for everyone, but they have proved time and time again that their non-radio music is a huge success. Yes, it just may not be to your taste. That’s ok.
Love how they got quiet and in the zone when the music started. It’s impossible not to get enveloped by their music and it really takes you away.
Gentlemen. Pink Floyd - 'Comfortably Numb' Live from the Pulse
Widely regarded as possibly the greatest guitar solo of all time.
"You don't listen to Floyd, you *experience* it."
Great one.
But I go with maggot brain by Funkadelic
Without question!
The whole album- is a masterpiece
One of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time
Amen
Every album
the whole 6 album stretch is a masterpiece
Along with Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall and Animals and 😉
This is my favorite Floyd song...for sentimental reasons. I was 11 when this came out and my brother moved away. He called me and played this song over the phone to me because he knew I missed him so much. I remember feeling so loved by my big brother every time I hear it.

@@berinmind it is. I'm still plotting my revenge. I'll get him back someday. ❤️✌️
Aww that's so cool!
Great heart felt story. thank you for sharing.
Nothing like Pink Floyd to open a young man's mind to the world and what's important.
Pink Floyd is legit one of the most revolutionary bands of al time. This is one of their chillest songs, but once you get down the rabbit hole there are like 30 absolute classics.
Uh…ahem…EVERY Pink Floyd song is classic! They’re immeasurably awesome! 🤘
Man, Floyd has a direct line to my emotional pain center. If I need a deep ugly cry, it's a sure thing every time.
Pink Floyd made some of the greatest music ever recorded. They are timeless. They also were big on social justice and tackling difficult societal issues.
The beauty of Pink Floyd is they seem to speak to people from all ages and walks of life. I've had friends that only listen to Metal and family members into old time country and even my neighbor who is strictly a classical music fan....and yet they all know Pink Floyd songs and rank them among their favorites.
That's because they don't fit into any genre of music, they have their own "vibe" as the gentlemen in the orange beanie pointed out.
One of the greatest songs ever written imo. It’s quite simplistic, but it hits deep af - both lyrically and musically.
And emotionally
@@AntonovichHicksenbrau absolutely
Listen to the whole album of Dark Side of the Moon. One song transitions into the other. It's a damn masterpiece!
My favourite LP ever. Saw Floyd at Earls Court back in the 70’s, when in my early teens. Never forgotten experience.
Agreed. If you guys really just want to experience the Pink Floyd thing and understand what it was that made them so special, 'The Dark Side of the Moon' album as a whole would be the perfect point of entry.
The lunatics are in my head…
They would miss it anyway, on account that they can't stfu for a minute. Not to mention that they can't get a metaphor if it hit them in the head.
Time and Brain Damage/Eclipse are my favorite tracks on Dark Side. I’ve listened to that album so many times that I’ve pretty much played out all of the other songs on the album. I’m sure that I’ll go back to loving the whole thing again though.

This and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” are my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Wish You Were Here makes me cry for my Father.
I think wish you were here makes everybody cry for somebody that they lost. How can you listen to the song and not grieve someone?
Shine on...remembers me of my high school friend that died so young. It was her favorite song
There are so many bangers from Pink Floyd! One of their probably more commercial songs, but actually one of my favourites, is "Money", a criticism as money being kind of the root of all evil... Definitely worth listening to!
Fearless is a great song by floyd
Also, check out the movie, The Wall, there's no describing it.
And 75 was a great year. I was born.😊
We had this played at my sons funeral Christmas 2 years ago . He used to play this on the guitar and sing when we would sit out by the firepit . This song has a lot more meaning to me than it did when I first heard it when it came out .

An absolute masterpiece
Pink Floyd is AMAZING.
Lyrically one of the best bands of all time. My favorite Pink Floyd lyric is "you have to be trusted, by the people that you lie too, so that when they turn their back on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in"

Animals is my go to calming album. Dogs is a masterpiece.
PINK FLOYD "LEARNING TO FLY"!!!!!!!!! MAKE SURE THAT YA'LL WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO BUT MAKE SURE THAT Y'ALL HAVE THE LYRICS HANDY!!!!!!!!!
Pink Floyd is not just a band, they are an experience.... My favorite band of all time. And this is my favorite song. I listen to this when I am missing my baby brother who passed in 2020.... Once again I will reiterate watch their movie The Wall......
More Pink Floyd!!! ALWAYS WITH LYRICS ON SCREEN!!! All of PF songs hit hard!!
Pulse concert
You should listen to the "Great Gig In the Sky" from the Dark Side of the Moon album. Pink Floyd is an amazing band that transcends time
This...Song...OMG... It means so much to me. Great reaction guys. I cannot implore you enough to listen to Dark side of the moon in its entirety as well as the wall. You will have to invest some time but man what a ride you will embark on.
I am glad you read the backstory to this song, the inspiration for it.
Pink Floyd definitely had some loud sounds but they were the epitome of acid rock. Mellow trippy rhythms with soft spoken lyrics.
We affectionately called it "head music"!! Perfect tunes to enjoy while under the influence of one illegal substance or another!!
This is a fucking classic! cool to see you guys reacting to some rock
I am a veteran and my best friend whom I met in Training camp for the Air Force Play this song for each other because we live in different states and 1000 miles away and it is a calling card for us to go on vacation to see each other. There is nothing like a friendship that was based on watching out for each other while we served. I’m not afraid to say it but I love my brother we will be best friends till we die.
Utter DIS RESPECT TO PINK FLOYD.........talk on ur ow time.,,,,,,,,,u guys rock
ACDC with Back in black, PINK FLOYD with Dark side of the moon, MICHAEL JACKSON with Thriller and QUEEN with greatest hit of queen aré the most important albums in history of music, soldest, react to those álbums Please, 🤘🇨🇴🤘🇨🇴🤘🇨🇴🤘
I LOVE how you delved into the history of the song, and that you guys really felt it. Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd 😘
1 luv... Game of thrones GOATED. Check out Journey... Faithfully and open arms.. Live and studio sound the same. They were in WE ARE THE WORLD(steve perry)
This band hits different. You reacted to comfortably numb a few months ago, which was a great reaction. If you're going to check out more Floyd, I would recommend taking them in albums. Not necessarily in one video, but start with the first song of an album and then do the second whenever, then the third, etc. You'll get a lot more from it. These guys wrote some pretty deep lyrics. The album this song is off of, this being the title track, is no exception. It's about an original band mate, "Syd Barrett," who literally went insane and was committed.
Ya'll should definitely listen to Another Brick In the Wall if you want a more 'upbeat' Floyd song. Still not fast-paced pers say but very very good.
Time, Money, Us and them, On the turning away, Young lust are all great tracks!
You guys should check out all the songs on this album. Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall were more popular but front to back Wish You Were Here was always my favorite Pink Floyd album.
Pink Floyd was my dads fav band. He and I weren’t very copasetic most of my life, but when he died two years ago outta nowhere from the vid, ever since I can’t hear this song without getting emotional. One of the greatest songs. And Pink Floyd one of the greatest of all time 🔥
Floyd is music that you chill to when you have that right kind of “ high”! Just speaking factzzzz!
You guys are killing me. I am a white boy ?.. sic ... I was a white boy from an all white town entering the army of 1986. I formed an all white Cadre of soldiers of my basic training platoon. We were as divided along racial lines as you could get. One day a group of black soldiers ambushed me in the baracks .... 7 to one. I readied myself to a beat down, I had it coming. The black guy said "what the fuck are you listenin' to"? He clicked my player and Metallica started playing ... all of us started moshing .... we laughed and yelled ... I haved never been the same since. We are the same people, seperated by the conversation we haven't said.
Now you goin in deep! Pink Floyd is an experience and you really have to do complete albums because each song on their albums tell a page of the story and when you do like you’re doing now and you’re skipping to three quarters through the book. If you listen closely during the guitar solo you can hear the angelic voice of one David Gilmour singing it with his guitar.
The song "Money" is a different vibe you all will like that one. "Another Brick in the Wall" is another great song with a message.
You guys are awesome, you just don't listen to the music, you really get into it deep! Pink Floyd is my favorite. You guys do a great job, keep it up!!
Wycliffe did a hip hop flavor cover of wish you were here,give it a listen sometime,you may be surprised,good reaction guys,keep them coming
For saying that Sid had mental issues is not like mental issues that everybody has in current day...
... I believe it was much more like he was a vegetable he was in a psychword and
... Probably needs more research
The first album I bought in the 60’s was Pink Floyd ❤️
One of the best songs ever. Makes me cry everytime tho.
One of my favorite bands. If you ever get the chance to see Roger Waters, you definitely should. It’s a spiritual experience. Check out Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, All Of Dark Side Of The Moon Album, All Of Wish You Were Here, All Of Animals, All Of All Of The Wall, Learning To Fly, Sorrow, Take It Back, & High Hopes. Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, & The Wall are concept albums, they all tell a story so it’s better to listen to the whole album instead of the individual songs
When I hear this song it reminds of friends that have passed. I love this song it stirs emotion everytime I hear it!
"Dark Side Of The Moon", the whole album. "Time", "Money", "Breathe/Run" , "Us and Them". Also, "Live at Pulse" amazing concert.
My father in law loved Pink Floyd, and he loved trout fishing in Scotland. He passed a few years back, and this song always brings me a mix of joy and sadness.
When you said this is a song to fish to, it brought a tear to my eye.
Okay the beginning is listening to a friend of this we used to be with the band...
The song is dedicated to him who is now passed and they wish he was there... So David Gilmore plays the same Beginning music that their band mate said played Earlier....
You dudes really need to check out Pink Floyd’s songs “Money” and “Have a Cigar”
It’s nice to see you guys react to some classic music. Hope to see more!
Good to see you reacting to this older music, these older rock bands had a lot of things going on at the time that influenced their songs. Think of the '60s, there was a lot going on politically and musically. Rock music was coming up and even giving birth to sub-genres - blues-rock, rock'n'roll, punk rock, etc.
Couple of react suggestions:
- Krayzie Bone - Clash of the Titans, which is a reaction to Eminem's Rap God. You can read up on Bone's influence in music.
- Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (On the Night Live). These guys are from northern England and Mark Knopfler's guitar rifts are out of this world. This song was written during 1982 when Britain was involved in the Falklands war.
Was introduced to pink Floyd at 14 ..now 60 and this song makes me feel same way 45 plus years on... It's one best songs ever written ..Rock on lads ..shout out from Australia
Around the same time as you. I was 13 and now almost 59.
Blame "Animals", my compatriot. 😎
two of pink floyd's best songs are
Number: 1 time👌
Number: 2 have a cigar👍
yessss 🔥🔥🔥
Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time. I was fortunate enough to see them live and they were great!!!!
This song is timeless! It was as if it was written yesterday.
Time, Comfortably Numb, Coming Back to Life are few of my absolute favorites. My favorite band since I was 13 and the greatest of all time. Young Lust is a solid rock track...
Still coming to terms that not everyone has delved into all pink floyd has to offer but im a big music fan so don’t mind me
“Childhoods end” is a good song by them
Also “Sheep”
Who am i kidding yall just need to listen to the full albums like i did
you are some lucky guys, having a day-off together to gather and to listen to this wonderful music.
Did you guys do the live version of Comfortably Numb? If not, then you definitely should. Especially with how much you guys loved Eric Clapton and his guitar playing. David Gilmour's solo on Comfortably Numb from The Pulse tour was amazing. He's a God on the guitar, just like Clapton. Those types of players are on a whole other level. Basically, there's life before you've seen that performance, and then there's life after watching that.
What an absolute amazing album. Its a masterpiece.
Guys, you should do their song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (parts 1-5) from the same album titled "Wish You Were Here." The second part of the song, parts 6-9, is at the end of the album.
It was so sad because Syd Barret was a complete genius but he suffered with schizophrenia and was institutionalized his whole life after he had a full breakdown, Drugs and the epic success of the band just put him over the edge. Many of the songs are nods to his genius and he was loved and missed by the other members to this day. One of my favorite all time bands. Like you said, you can just put them on and get lost in your feelings and thoughts for sure! xx.
No, he wasn't institutionalized. He lived a somewhat reclusive life, taken care of by his family, painting and quietly doing his own thing.
I know Wish You We’re Here was for Syd Barrett.
You really have to listen to Pink Floyd as a whole. As others have said, sit in a dark room with a pair of headphones on and listen to The Wall all the way through. It's a story.
fair play from England open minds love it!!!!
yall should check out high hopes its their best song
YEAP!
You all got Pink Floyd all wrong they're totally against slavery
Shine on You Crazy Diamond is about Sid Barret also.
People under the stairs- San Francisco nights!
Pink Floyd is undefinable. They stand alone.
The dude in the back got the song immediately
Dude in the very back and the one in the Whitney shirt are my favorite. 😏❤
No life without the gods that are Pink Floyd, don’t my word for it, look it up ❤️🙏
Wish you would watch their live concert videos
This is something you listen too w headphones while high
Watch the Pink Floyd movie - The Wall
If you're looking for more Pink Floyd I'd recommend these:
Shine on you crazy diamond pt1-5 (Great for mellow vibing, It's really long though and has a long intro too.)
Time (this one has an awesome guitar solo and you have to pay attention to the lyrics, although that goes for almost every Pink Floyd song)
Hey friends. When you play Pink Floyd, always listen to their live performances. They are probably the best live musicians. The guitarist who is also the front singer is recognized as one of the two best guitar players in the world. He has such control over the guitar playing and the tones like no one else. There are no wild uncontrolled sounds from his guitar playing. Remember that now Pink Floyd must be heard live. Hear music from their live concert called LIVE PULSE. For example Run Like Hell from LIVE PULS Have a good day :-)
Lyrics Born- I changed my mind.
You all need to Light a Big ole Tight one and Light him up and turn the lights out leaving just the Reciever and Balance lights to flicker THEN Slide in the Albums,, ''' The Dark Side of The Moon'',, Then Pink Floyd's ''The Wall'', and Lastly,, ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason'' in that Order, why that order when there are so many Albums,,,, Well those 3 Albums Just Gel in that order IMO, I have a near complete collection of Pink Floyd missing only 2 Albums all on Vinyl, even Bigger than my ELO Collection ( lol ), I not long ago bought an original pressing of Rodriguez Cold Fact which is another Album that is a must for all to listen too, I have over 300 albums Vinyl and NO Turntable LOL 😵💫😵💫
Exactly
Josh hart, jalan Brunson, Jackson jr., scottie Barnes, jabri Smith jr......
Back when things made sense. Lol
Pink Floyd is weed smoking music!
