David Gilmore (lead singer and lead guitarist in Pink Floyd) said in an interview that he was inspired to write this song to describe the sensations he got while learning to fly an airplane. The video is a way of expressing that. The song and video are both very beautiful, but the video can be distracting. I think you might have gotten more out of watching a live performance of this song.
The young Native American was seen tolling in the fields doing hard labor. Cutting wheat at harvest. An older Native American (possible Shaman) is seen in brief moments in the video, seemingly a spirt guide to the young lad. The hang glider passes over head, having a huge influence of freedom. Soon he is seen on top a small mountain, shedding his jacket & literally arming himself w/a pair of feathers as wings. To be fee from being a quote 'earthbound misfit, I". A big screen & surround sound really brings this vid to life. When it was new, it really was special in its quality & clarity.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd song because it came out while I was in boot camp and having new Pink Floyd waiting for me after boot camp was AWESOME !
Now....from what i have heard, this song was about david gilmour (guitar) & nick mason's (keyboards) fear of flying, so, in the mid 80's they both beat that fear by going to flight school & getting pilot's liscences, which if u listen, makes sense lyrically...but, my main point is...good lord this is just one of those 80's 90's music videos where there is way too much going on & its all muddied, & it just throws the young reactors...it distracts from the music...as noble an attempt as the video is to communicate whatever it was they were trying to communucate.
Yep. But PULSE contains modified guitar parts, worse than original. Improvisation is a great thing (like at Montreux 2010 Gary Moore) but sometimes little changes ruin the artwork. Like little changes done by Metallica in Nothing Else Matters.

O no ? Bye
David Gilmour and Nick Mason got their pilots licenses and quite literally learned to fly.....the song is based on that. The pilot/control tower gibberish you hear in the middle of the song is Nick coming in for a landing.
The song has two ways to interpret. A positive.. understanding change and moving forward "learning to fly". A negative... not to embracing change and ending yourself out of fear.
His Spirit Guide helped him find his " TRUTH " 🤔. 🦅 Powerful video 😲 . May I Suggest the entire album Animals by Pink Floyd 👏❤️👏❤️👏.. Enjoy your Adventures in Music 🎶✌️🤠❤️🙏
Thank you for this review. Indeed their songs of 70s are a good staff, although now it is hard to listen any their song involving their former bass player who moved to the evil side supporting ruzzian murderers and spreading disinformation. My favorite Pink Floyd album - "Division Bell", lyrics, music, tones, band members, everything of that album )
Smooth PF jam. I see that his spirit was yearning to fly but he was stuck in the grind chopping wheat. I think they were saying we all inherently know but learning to just do it. Or he turned into a bird, either or that’s cool too😊
David was an avid pilot with multiple licenses and classic planes he flew,. The song is about what flying is to him and his love for it. Both he and Nick Mason learned to fly.
Hi Maddy, you have been missed! A reaction from you is the perfect way to start the month of May! Pink Floyd is an endless rabbit hole of outstanding musical excellence. I would recommend anything off the Animals studio album, some of David Gilmours's best solos.There are a few videos online, but the quality isn't that good. Keep smiling, beautiful! ✌️☮️🎸🎶🎼🎵❤️

One of my favorites from that album, along with One Slip and On The Turning Away. I think you'll like both of those, too.
Live PULSE CONCERT Version of this Song is also worth watching. 🇦🇺
Sorry but, the DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER is really the greatest version ever.
You can always count on David Gilmour for some awesome guitar 🎸 work !

Nick Mason, drums Richard Wright keyboards.
NOW.... VIEW the PULSE CONCERT version. The percussionist is having a joyous "Workout"
Gary Wallis...workout 😉
Nick Mason 🥁🔝🔝🔝

Beauitful song Beauitul reaction from a Beauitful young lady.
Now THIS is an official Pink Floyd video.

Native American spiritualism
Gilmour had been taking flying lessons when he wrote the song. Actually learning to fly.
Apparently it was a pretty powerful experience for him.
I saw them on this Tour.........A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album touring cycle.
His Spirit Guide helped him find his " TRUTH " 🤔. 🦅
Powerful video 😲 .
May I Suggest the entire album Animals by Pink Floyd 👏❤️👏❤️👏..
Enjoy your Adventures in Music 🎶✌️🤠❤️🙏
This is a great song with a lot of feeling behind it.
This song is actually about flying. Some of the spoken words in the middle of the song are the pre-takeoff checklist. Mixture rich...flaps set...
My favorite PinkFloyd song is the one i get to listen with you. Cheera from a finn in Sweden.❤
Please check out SORROW live at the PULSE CONCERT.

hey Maddy, mythical and fantastic band. I suggest, an old song from the 60s, Tom Jones: “I will never fall in love again” you will be moved 😉
It's not really that new, it came out in 1987, on the "Momentary Lapse of Reason" album.
Great song by itself, but the directors vision seems to tell a different story to the song, which I find distracting.
Lotsa old music way back just sounds cheesy now, all that 80s sound.
This song is probably older than she is and it's newer stuff.
Nothing to do with the reaction but I have to say you have the nicest skin I have ever seen... OK back to the video now 🤣
Kudos for not listening to the live version first. This studio version is far superior.
No drones back then. This was shot on high quality film near 40 years ago.
No drones, no CGI, just old good film illusion )
Listen to High Hopes from the pulse concert
Smooth PF jam. I see that his spirit was yearning to fly but he was stuck in the grind chopping wheat. I think they were saying we all inherently know but learning to just do it. Or he turned into a bird, either or that’s cool too😊
Yes, great jam. Having a distinct taste of 80s. "Yet another movie" has got the similar tones, mood.
Please consider reacting to WWE
that guy needs to sharpen his scythe
I dunno what he means and im old.
Filmed in Banff, Canada.
I've watched this three times now, and still haven't heard what song this is. Damn Maddy is dangerously hot!
Learning To Fly
"echoes live Gdansk" a must
some Carlos Castaneda here
Definitely should have watched the pulse concert version Maddy.
✌❤🇬🇧
Nice reaction Maddy ❤
Oh, wow....ive been on a floyd reaction kick lately...so glad u did this...awesome: D
Brings back memories. Thank you beautiful.
Some think Learning to Fly is about trying to move on as a group without Roger Walters, this sounds reasonable to me.
The radio chatter you hear in the middle of this song is actually David Gilmore talking with the tower
David was an avid pilot with multiple licenses and classic planes he flew,. The song is about what flying is to him and his love for it. Both he and Nick Mason learned to fly.
David Gilmore is a licensed pilot. He loves to fly. The song is nothing more than him describing the sensation of flight.
Hello Maddy
Pink Floyd - superlative.
Epic Pink
Mid 80 s

Animals is a sad album. Very orwellian, when the creator depicted his own future degradation.
“Sorrow” is my favorite Pink Floyd song 👍👍
OMG what a beautiful lady you are.. Great reviews as a plus.
cool
This is what i grew up with you are missing so much great music
I like this song and you Maddy.
👍✌️💜Yo girl where you been💜
Will someone please buy Maddy a different dress to wear???
Hey now
I will offer to buy her one...but I doubt she'd wear what I pick
@@jaypea468 I was hoping for two bottle caps and a Band-Aid.
One of my favorites.
Thank You!!!
❤❤❤
Love it!!!
