You have officially unlocked a new level by listening to this one. Congratulations!
This song is a masterpiece. I've always loved it.
Syd Barret lived a quiet life until passing in 2006
MDreeezy - the look on your face throughout this entire piece mirrors my own every time I listen to it. I'm almost 79 years old, and I feel the same vibration in my whole body that you speak about. The urge to weep is also strong - just like during Gilmour's long guitar solo with Comfortably Numb ( Pulse Concert version ). It's amazing what Pink Floyd has achieved musically in that they affect a man 79 and a man 20 in the exact same way.
So true...
with reference to 'comfortably numb' I much prefer the live performance at 'live 8' but that is just personal choice i guess..
Couldn't wait to see your face when the sax kicked in. Didn't disappoint.
You're not wrong. David Gilmour's voice and guitar along with Richard Wright's amazing keyboards and synths brought Floyd to a whole new level music and sonically. A place I don't think they ever would have arrived at with Syd at the helm.
The whole Wish You Were Here album will leave you speechless.
Pink Floyd is the best! Thank you for reacting to this!
Don’t forget to do parts 6-9 of this song 🔥
Ohhh yeah right
The best part. That bass line at the beginning. Fuck man, I can't help but start moving
You won't believe how gratifying it is to see a young lad like yourself enjoying and appreciating the music of my youth. Your reaction and your experience was exactly the same as mine. Good on you!!😂😂🇬🇧
Shine on buddy. This song is just stunning and it continues at the end of the album. So the entire piece is 26 minutes. What a way to bookend an album! The three tracks in between are also fantastic btw. You got the band members correct right off the bat - well done! Syd was still alive and turned up coincidentally when they were recording this! They hadn't seen him for years and his appearance was greatly altered, but after a while they realised who he was. You couldn't make it up!
This song is a tribute to Roger "Syd" Barrett. He was an early member of Pink Floyd and was replaced by David Gilmour. Syd Barrett was a brilliant artist and musician who unfortunately gradually lost himself in his drug use and thus became unsustainable for the band. Nevertheless, he gave Pink Floyd the first important impulses for success. Syd Barrett turned up at the Abbey Road Studio during the recording of Wish You Were Here and was not recognized because he had become quite fat and was almost removed by security. Then Nick Mason asked David Gilmour if he knew the man? David had to say no and Nick Mason said "That's Syd". And Roger was in tears. They played some more music together and talked. Shine on you crazy diamond is an acronym for Syd. The song is intended to describe the emotional state, the state of health and the character of Syd Barrett musically
Pink Floyd is to be experienced not only with your emotions and body but with your mind.
Syd Barret either went of the deep end because of too much LSD or the use of LSD triggered an underlying psychological issue. towards the end of his involvement with the band, he would do things like play one note continually during a show while staring out into space. While recording this album, Sid showed up one day, and nobody recognized him for quite a while. He had gained a lot of weight and had shaved his head and eyebrows off. The line in the song " Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky" says it all their friend was gone.
The members of PF understood the level of Syd Barrett’s mental illness. Even though Syd wasn’t in the band anymore, they continued to cut him royalty checks even on songs he didn’t write. If the band made money, then Syd, as a founding member, made money. They made sure he was financially cared for until he died in 2006.
Another PF song about their friendship with Syd is Wish You Were Here. Equally haunting.
You are on a beautiful journey, my friend. I really loved the way you explained that you realized that it's not always about the lyrics. Thankfully, PF has excellent lyrics, but the way they reflect the music is surreal and special.
I actually got to see them (without Roger Waters) in 1995 at 3 Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.
No opening act, all Floyd. The entire show was about 4 hours long. They had an intermission. The second set opened with this, and I openly kept. Sat still in my seat, and didn't even try to wipe the tears away, because I knew they would not stop.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💥💥💥👍
For me the music is what makes me remember the lyrics. Without the music the lyrics don't mean anything. The music is what makes you feel the words.
Unmatched tribute composition/performance in music history....inimitable greatness.
This song, like most Pink Floyd song, is like a movie score. The music (and few lyrics) guides you through your own life's experiences and the movie occurs in your head. So close your eyes and listen, it's your movie!
"Reached for the secret too soon" was about Sid's LSD use, he used a lot of it.
"Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky." People said that Sid was full of life, one day he showed up to a gig, and the life was gone from his eye, they were dark and withdrawn. At that point he really couldn't play anymore, and wasn't enjoyable to be around.
This song is medicine for stress. I play it in my classroom sometimes when working on projects or stations. We all vibe out 🤘🏼😎
keep up with the reviews its always great to see young people learning about music I grew up with. You obviously appreciate great music
Not just my favorite Pink Floyd song, but my favorite song period. Just put it on and close my eyes... it always takes me on a journey.
This music is like a journey for the soul and I really like the calm and concentration with which you listen. Great reaction!
Bing bing bing-bing... (main recurring guitar riff) is what a diamond sounds like when it is shining.
Back in the day... If someone caught you listening to Pink Floyd, you were immediately labeled a STONER...!
One of my all time favourite Pink Floyd songs, 😊 I play the whole album when I get an hour plus proffesional massage, it is so relaxing to listen too. Love your channel mate, your presentation is excellent, 😉🤣.
I have seldom been moved like I have from watching this video. I am a little embarrassed to admit it, but I stopped brushing my dogs teeth so I could watch it with my kids.
We later called grandma and told her we would be home for Christmas.
I am a 60 years old woman, reminds me of my youth, on hot summer days in the cabriolet with friends, a bottle of red wine in the hand (of course not the driver!), driving to a lake, the radio turned up to full volume.....It was a beautiful time! When the song comes on the car radio, I still open the window and turn the sound up to full volume even today!
Next level: Shine On Pts VI-IX!!! LETS GO!!!
Next is the rest of the album in order!
This is one of my absolute favorite albums - I've heard it a million times and it always moves me. Just gorgeous. Incredible that a bunch of young guys could come up with this...and that it's about 50 years old. And people will be listening to it 50 years from now, guaranteed.
Can you imagine taking a time-travel trip back to a Pink Floyd concert in the 70s, and how you'd feel drifting out of the arena when it's over?
Young man , you should be very proud of yourself for I believe you have become completely dialled into Pink Floyd, your facial expressions convey a calm peace while your listening …excellent
❤❤❤❤
Syd Barrett actually never went to any mental health facility, he was replaced by David. He definitely had mental illness but it was never treated and he ended up living with his mother and doing his artwork. To me and this is just my opinion, Piper was an okay album and it was quite a concept when it came out, but Pink Floyd after that album had much better works. David to me is a much better guitar player. Just my opinion. But this is an awesome tribute song and this is a great album.
Very diplomatic. All facts that can’t be disputed. Totally agree ❤
@@mattleppard1964 I was born in 1965, and from that moment on seeing that I have older siblings, this is the music that was always around, so many hand-me-down albums so many amazing bands that I played the grooves off of sitting with headphones in my room by myself. And then later on with my friends in my teenage years tripping. All of the stuff from this era was amazing music, I thought it then but I know it now, it's good to see these young men and women having an appreciation for it, gives me hope.
@@kurtsaxton823 I totally agree. Me, 1970, but got a lot of musical inspiration from my parents’ collection. Later, I discovered it all very deeply, baked and working out the lyrics and looking at life. To have that again through fresh eyes is enormously rewarding - as it’s all so very very good ❤️
To add to your knowledge of who’s who in and around Pink Floyd, the saxophones are played by Dick Parry, who played during their Pulse tour, and frequently with David Gilmour on his solo tours. Pretty sure he’s the one who played on the DSOTM album as well. Also, he played the sax in Wearing the Inside Out on the Division Bell album.
Its the vibration and frequency that you are experiencing with Pink Floyd. The lyrics are important too. Albums should be listened to from beginning to end at some point. Youll understood once you take the time to do it. Enjoy and cheers...great reaction.
I find that Pink Floyd changes, as you get life experience, what I understood about it in 1970 is not what I understand about it now. It seems to be more and more relevant the older you get. But I do agree you should listen to the albums in their entirety.
You don't listen to Pink Floyd you experience them , No shame in feeling emotions , There are certain songs that get me. It's what they do best. They subconsciously plant a thought within you then they let the thought expand while you feel it with the instrumental sections .... Genius! ... Great reaction bro ,Much love from the UK!
I've "sort of" heard this, over the years, but I definitely never paid attention. WOW. Just GORGEOUS. Thank you for putting it in front of me. So good. The whole thing.
Please check out the PULSE LIVE version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. You won’t be disappointed!
The entire Pulse Live is a must watch and does not disappoint. Definitely a masterpiece.
Pink Floyd is an experience ❤
My favorite Pink Floyd song, bar none.
Epic song if dont feel any emotions while listening to this im afraid your dead inside
The smile at the second chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga ( don't act like you do not know which part in question lol ), wwas simply honest and genuine. Not only for the appreciation for the music but you can also see some reflection too. Great reaction dude
IMHO, parts 6-9 is even better!
'piper' is a reference to syds obsession with Kenneth Grahame's classic 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows( a story he wrote for his son Alastair who killed himself by putting his head on a railway track) but IN particular in the story it takes hard left turn into a bizarre but very interesting moment(not unlike early pink floyds music) Otter has lost his son and Rat and Mole get in their boat and row through the night to look for him. Just before the dawn they come upon incredible music and walking through the trees come face to face with a deity who is clearly (though never named) the Great God Pan. There at Pan’s feet is the lost otter boy. Ratty and Mole wake up later to find the otter boy and Mole is aware of a dream he cannot remember, while Rat notices hoof prints in the grass: Pan a benevolent god has blessed them with forgetfulness. They then load the boy into the boat and take him back to his family recognizing though that they have had an unusual if elusive experience. The instrument that 'pan' was playing was a 'panflute' or flute of pipes this was so captivating it led mole to their missing baby otter.
You’re right, the music part is very important to feeling soulful & spiritual.👍♥️
It's great that you know the back story of Syd Barratt, as the song lyrics make more sense. Especially when you know that his mental health issues were from excessive LSD usage. "You reached for the secret to soon".
He hadn't passed away when this was written, but he was so mentally ill that he just wasn't able to function. He wasn't there mentally....."now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky".
Glad you heard DSOTM complete. Don't go right to the second part. Listen to the songs in between. With this band, the impact is multiplied many times by doing that. Most bands do not construct albums that lock you down and strap you in for a complete ride the way their albums do.
Beautiful reaction to a beautiful art work of a tune. Thank you.
Pink Floyd is musically as close as you can get to an out of body experience!
Like Led Zeppelin,,,,,Pink Floyd is just on another level. They're for the ADVANCED music listener. 💥💥💥👍😎
Great reaction and thanx for it. You will love parts 6-9!!!
Many potheads love pink floyd. Im not into the wacky weed but pink floyd music is cool as hell when you want something mellow and yet spectacular.
Do you listen to this away from here?
I am 56 I’ve listened all
My life and it is glorious to me each time ❤
Have you ever felt what you just felt from a hip-hop song? One day your gonna say it. Listen to Us and Them from Darkside of the Moon, a killer song with great Sax.
I take your point but all music genres has great artists, I defy anyone not to get an emotional reaction from some Public Enemy, or KRS-1. Similarly there was undoubtedly a ton of throwaway nonsense in the early 70s, I mean with Floyd we are talking about one of the most important bands of all time.
I definitely recognize rap and hip hop as an legitimate art form first developed in the inner city that were void of instruments stores and school music programs under funded or cut out all together.There is some that I have enjoyed, because good is good,but with the absence of the proper use of different modes and scales most leave me underwhelmed.
i speak astronomy jinjer
There just great!.... now comes parts 6-9
Finally got to see Pink Floyd in Dallas, TX. It was outstanding! "Dark Side Of The Moon", my favoritEST album ever!!! Lol. Whole album is great. Deep dive on them is well worth it. Such a shame about Syd though. RIP. They say he had great songwriting skills. He "fell in the acid well" was what we all called it back then. True talent, poof, gone!
Thanks again for sharing
I love that you can let the song breathe! I'm gratified to see a young man with that ability. Not after instant gratification!
I must hear Floyd and Zep everyday.
This was one of my favorite songs live when I saw them back in the day. It brought me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions (magic mushrooms probably had something to do with it 😂)This whole Lp is fire. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
It was never a pink Floyd concert, it was always a pink Floyd experience!..
Keep the album going!! React to the whole thing my man!✌️
Great reaction MD! There's not much I can add, all you have to do with this is just feel it flow through you. DSOTM is still my favourite album of theirs but WYWH comes a very close second. Cheers.
He wasn't kicked out as such, nobody ever told him he was out. It just kinda gradually happened. His mental health was so bad he was often catatonic, so he couldn't function. His attendance just gradually got less, until one day they just decided it would be best to not include him anymore.
Ooooohhhh!!! You play the saxophone??? 👏Above all, don't stop!!! Continue!!! Please, please, please don't stop saxophone!!! 🎷🙏🙏🙏🎷
Congrats on your growth and your journey friend.
Great choice!
Always wonderful. Sublime. A few notes about this song:
1. It spells Syd: S(hine on) Y(ou crazy) D(iamond).
2. Syd likely had underlying severe mental illness.
3. Add to this huge doses of acid around people doing acid…
4. And the pressures of fame and being a performing monkey…
5. And the band themselves literally abandoning him as they admit…
All led to his breakdowns.
They tried to get him to famed psychiatrist RD Laing but he was never in proper treatment.
What happened, and their role (“if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes”) haunted them but informed their greatests works.
SYD TURNED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF RECORDING THIS.
It was the last time they saw him. Totally true story ❤😢🎶
At the very very end on side 2, Rick Wright plays a refrain from the Syd hit “See Emily Play”
❤❤❤❤
Nice.
He probably saw through the veil with the LSD. Which means he saw 👀 through the music industry easily. The music from this band speaks so much truth.
@@AnonymousServant513 He saw thru it. That’s why he hated miming on Top of the Pops etc. That he was totally trapped and also was rarely compos mentis (it wasn’t just acid) led to his total personality breakdown. His solo material contains work that is extremely perceptive but very bizarre ❤️
You get it.
Its not a song, Its an experience
You get it my man....we need to start picking up instruments again until it pulls our passion out like before.Bands like this have true passion for the instruments they play....US and THEM is a must bro..the lyric video will be needed.
Most serious listeners/old music snobs agree that Progressive Rock is the most interesting genre of music. Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Rush and Porcupine Tree are some starting points. There is so much great music from the 1960s and '70s lying in wait for you. Enjoy!
💗
This is so fun trying to play the guitar parts on my Strat - even though I'm a hack!
Lets go brother!!!
This is a great reaction/review to a great song, and a great band, highly recommend Echoes both parts 'cause it got two parts, great song ever musicly talking man fr fr
Oh forgot to mention great reaction my friend !
My first album with my own money. 😎
The rumble at the very end is the beginning of
Welcome to the
machine.
The band was experimenting with LSD then.
A lot of young people were.

My understanding was Sid just quit arriving for rehearsals. It turns out he had joined the acid commune. And had been tripping for several days. That tends to fry your mind. For some, heavy use side effects lasted a long time.
👍Old school. 🖖❤
Epic!!!!
VI - IX crazy good
You doing great with Pink Floyd, you know all the names . 😊. They really do make great music. Can’t wait until you get your first Pink Floyd T Shirt 😊.
Now that you've heard the studio version of SOYCD, be prepared to be blown away by the live version from the Pulse Cocnert 1994. I actually saw that concert at the football stadium in Foxboro MA. The sax solo, which I know you love, is played by Dick Parry, and, he plays the alto sax, with the tenor sax wrapped around his shoulder, which he shifts and immediately continues with the tenor sax to finish the solo. After you do each studio version, do the Pulse version, which most people think is superior, if that's possible. But then again, its PF. PS. Roger had already left the group (1985), so he didn't play at the Pulse concert.
A deep cut
You're right, it invokes a life review.
✨⭐💗💓💞😿🌟💓 Loved this to death! 👻
🙏 do Parts 6-9 soon? 💫 🎶🎸🎷🪄 I can't wait! 🦥
Reverend!!!
🍄🌲🍄✨💥🌈😍
The odd pairing (back then), of Ricks cosmic trippy keyboards combined with David"s earthy blues licks on guitar seduced my ear and transported me like no other music had ever done before, and this sound has never ceased to mess my head in the most fascinating ways...there really is nobody like Pink Floyd.
**Beautiful**
I can see it man!! Haha
You hear the music 🔥 Either came to experience something with sound while on psychedelics.
Or some meditative experience led to this.
Either way you got the best reactions 👌
My problem with this Album is
I had a record Player that repeats the record after every play
One day my then girlfrend admited this one as her favorite record
So i put it on
And whenever i am listening to this she's in the bed next to me
This was 45 years ago
Never come clean with it
Thanks alot barbera
One kind of an Album though❤
Parts 6-9 are even better, if you can believe it. 💗
Great reaction. The sound at the end is leading into the next song " Welcome to the Machine " Please check it out.
Oooohhh, I've been watching all your videos but being quiet in the comments section. Until now. I can't wait to get your reaction to this😁
According to Roger ,Syd took too much LSD and entered into a disassociate state and couldn't recover from it . To their credit though they had to kick him out they continued to pay him royalties from the music ✌️💕
Can't help but notice you haven't done "The Great Gig in the Sky" yet - a must hear. Should really be heard in context with the rest of "Dark Side..." but still packs a punch on its own. For me, its the pinnicle of that record, the rest sets it up to deliver that killer blow.
PS: Didn't know you were a Sax player, I've left a comment on your Traffic reaction - Chris Wood of Traffic played Sax as well as Flute, Bass and Keys. He has one of the most individual Sax styles I've ever heard. Check out that "Low Spark..." man!
I haven't checked all comments, so I might repeat stuff...
Nope, Syd was alive, and even visit them while they were recording this track, it's part of the legend, they almost didn't recognized him. He died in the 2000's... I was just recluse and didn't want to "live in society" anymore.
You'll read (/hear) a LOT of stories about Syd, fact is, nobody really knows what happened in his head. Part of mental illness, part of substance abuse, and my personal take, which is deduced by all I've read, AND the lyrics from Waters: he was a legend already in his youth, with a LOT of people willing to be "the friend of Syd", but superficially, just to use his "aura" for their own credits. Add to that the music industry (which is hinted in this album: Wish you were here, with almost all songs) disgusted him. He was an artist, a visual artist, he didn't want "Learjet or football team"... So mix up everything and you got that: a fast dive into reclusion.
If you want to have an insight of what was inside Syd's head, listen to his tune: "Dark Globe"... It's part of his solo work after Pink Floyd, and actually, I'm pretty sure that the question asked in "Dark Globe" is the one "Wish You Were Here" (the song) is answering... Really, listen to Dark Globe...
Syd had become unable to play reliably live, on the way to a gig the band simply didn't stop to pick Syd up.
Worth noting, the guys were in their twenties and not Mental Health experts, at a time when Mental Health was not widely discussed like today.
So by all accounts it wasn't like some big fight or conflict, it was a downward spiral.

Hey man!
Yeah, PF is on another level.
I'm still waiting for you to react to "Us and them" by Pink Floyd. You will love it, I think. You noted it couple of month ago, but you probably been busy with all the suggestions people give you.
Please do it when you have the time. You will be happy you did it. I promise 😁
Oh, and if you could also maybe do M.I.A. "Paper planes" or "Borders" that would also be awesome af. She is dope.
Fun Fact
Shine On "bookends" the album, and one of the contributing factors to splitting it in two, was it wouldn't all fit on One Side of a vinyl disc!
