@@RedTopReactions "Every year is getting shorter" is actually a true statement in terms of how we subconsciously experience it. Years/months/days are just manmade concepts based on the earth & sun's repeating motions, but, internally, our minds experience time based on percentage of total life. At age 10, one year is 10% of your entire life experience; as a 50 year old, one year is 2%..... this means, quite literally, _what 1 year feels like to you as a 10 year old = what 5 years will feel like to you as a 50 year old._
I first heard this in college in 1974. Trust me, the song becomes more meaningful the older you get. “Shorter of breath and one day closer to death” has a reality at 65 that it lacked at 21.
I was 15. At my buddies house. He said hey after we smoke this, I want to listen to Pink Floyd. At this time I knew the wall pretty good. But I never listened to tDSOTM. We got high. Hit play. And we didn’t speak for an hour and a half. We just say there. Listening to the greatest album I’ve ever listened to in my life. 21 years later, nothing has surpassed it. You never forget where you were when you hear masterpieces like this for the first time.
Dude, let me tell you something.... I'm 58yrs old. Yesterday I was 22 & working as a Domino's delivery boy. Somehow enough time as elapsed that I can reflect on a 40 year career in the media. I've been poor, then well off & now I'm back to poor. I was unknown, then famous now I'm back to being unknown. Most of the plans I had for my life never materialized because I devoted myself to work. I never traveled because I was always at work. My 1st marriage ended because I always worked. I gave up weekends & holidays to work. Always working & always chasing the dollar. Today as I write this my career is finally winding down. There will be no thank you for decades of service, no gold watch & no pension. After everything I've done only now do I realize I'm chasing the sun. I love Pink Floyd & I've jammed to this song since I was a teen back in the 70s but it's taken me my entire youth to finally appreciate it. If I can offer any advice to younger people it would be this: Don't lose yourself in work. Do something meaningful for someone else every chance you get. And the most important part....it's very unsexy.....plan for your later years. Save money for retirement. Trust me. One day you're moving into your very first apartment on your own. Then before you know it you're getting the senior discount at the grocery store. It really happens that fast.
Whoever wrote the comments on-screen is really disrespectful to the viewer. Ruining the surprise of how long the intro is and then saying you might considering SKIPPING IT ????????? Making a complete mockery of the listening experience and insulting the viewer that they have not the patience to appreciate it and then he does it again during the solo. Does he think we all have the attention span of a Goldfish ?
@@isaakwalton9600This is how the revolution starts Isaak. Starts with some disrespectful comments on the video itself. People get angry. It spreads like a bush fire thru' areas, Counties, Nations, Continents, and eventually, the entire world is engulfed in this. It's Runnymede all over again and Armageddon a little tired of it. It HAS to be nipped in the bud, however painful that sounds...
If you haven't, listen to The Great Gig in the Sky. This song follows Time on the album, and visits passing over or dying. The music frpm the two songs flow together.
Yeah Great Gig In The Sky is awesome, i'd probably recommend one of the live versions, either from the live albums Pulse or Delicate Sound Of Thunder :)
When you’re young, this is just a great song. As you get older, the meaning gets deeper and it affects you differently. This is a different song to me now at 54, than it was when I heard it as a teen.
The older you get the harder this song hits you. I have been listening to PF since I was 15 and now I’m 50+ and every time I have heard TIME it has meant more to me and the lyrics came more alive and meant differently! And yes your reaction as always is amazing! I simply love how you understand the lyrics. As someone said, listen to The Great Gig In The Sky. Not just that listen to all the albums specially Dark Side Of The Moon, Wall, Wish You Were Here, Animals
I don't know who produced the lyric video but the line should read 'No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." It's printed on the album sleave ffs
@@znk0r Between misheard lyrics, spelling errors and typos, 90% of lyric videos are terrible. Yes, I appreciate the effort, I just wish they'd leave it to people who have a clue. 😂
Another mistake was "Staying home to watch FOR rain" not THE rain. If you publish a music video and advertise it as a LYRIC video, you dam well better have the lyrics right.
Roger Waters was very aware of how the concept of time is perceived at different stages in life. He very well described the long long days we experience as a child, while years later the same time flies by and slips through ones fingers. In fact 'time' is a steady dimension, but we perceive it differently through life, because we function at different speeds depending our age. The older we get the slower we become, the faster time seems to go by. The lyrics are so spot on.
"....and then one day you find ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" some of the most prophetic lyrics ever.
I was 12 when Dark Side made its debut in 72. I bought the album the next day. They've lived in my head ever since. The first time listening to Dark side of the moon is a raising pf consciousness on perception
@@flubblert yeah i konda felt that while watching. it didnt make much sense in reference to missing the start of the gun. that is a reference directly yo starting
@flubblert i was thinking the same. It's when not where. It's a big difference. Anyways, I'm happy to see "young people appreciating Pink Floyd lyrics. Don't get me wrong. Sorry for my english.
If this song is still relevant now 50 years on from release then I'm pickin it will still be apart of the spectrum in 50 years time. Music for your soul and mind! Cool bro!
1974, 22 yrs old. I saw the 'meddle' tour 1972. Incredible. I'm 73 now. Still grabs me. It has been said that every guitar wants a David Gilmour for Christmas.
It shows birth to death. The last lines I think have a hidden meaning.....warm my bones beside the fire (crematorium ?) And the tolling of the iron bell brings the faithful to their knees is the funeral. The song on the album that follows this as everyone has commented about....great gig in the sky is basically the death of the person portrayed in time. Great reaction.
😲 , well this may of just made me need to check that song out entirely now. when you described that ending. i see it so clearly now, as i was a little lost by that part. as i dont attend many funerals. wow
I first listened to PF Time at age 15 in 1976. The lyrics spoke to me. And believe me I was friterring away the moments in very off handed ways. Thank you Roger Waters for giving me an advanced warning and perspective.
I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.
It doesn't matter how old you are brother, this song made me feel the same, when I first heard at 13 teen. It's telling you what to do, it's saying wake the fuck up bro, before you even know. Life is short, use it well!
This is by far the best reaction I've ever seen to this masterpiece. How you have any dislikes to this reaction is beyond me. Great reaction brother. Keep them coming good sir! You got a new subscriber.
I'M COMMENTING ON HIS REACTION RIGHT NOW AS I'M COMMENTING ON WHAT YOU SAID 1 MONTH AGO, AND BECAUSE MY COMMENTS ARE MORE LIKE A SHORT STORY OR LONG LETTER, LOL, I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK TO CHECK OUT SOME MORE RELEVANT COMMENTS AND I LIKED YOURS , READ MINE WHEN OR IF YOU GET A NOTIFICATION FOR LIKING YOUR COMMENT! I'M GOING BACK TO FINISH IT RIGHT NOW IT'S 9:35 PM EAST COAST TIME SO IF YOU TRY AND READ MY COMMENT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT POSTED YET, BUT YOU GET MY DRIFT! LOL!
I first heard it in 1973 and was blown away! It was on an entirely different level than any of the top 40 music I was used to. I listened to the entire DSOTM album, start to finish w/o stopping. It changed my view of music forever! It's Timeless!
Saw you mention this on another one of your reactions, had to come check it out. Love it man, good shit. Also, with realizing things, it's only negative if we don't learn from it. These lyrics could be just as profound for a 17yo kid as they are for a 47yo. Reflection is a solid psychologist, if we let it be. Peace and blessings to you and your's.
@@RedTopReactions Shit man, I can't remember, sorry. Too much life going on right now, love the reactions I watch. Be careful out there and have fun. ✌️ ETA: Context may have been misinterpreted, may be my fault. I was just mentioning the importance of positivity. Beautiful song that hits deep, if you're open, had to check out your reaction to it. Knew it would be good.
I was 15 when this came out now I’m 65. Listening to it then is so different than today. I own all but one Floyd album but Dark Side is my most played. My daughter loves it also and Time, she gets it!👍
Thank You for watching, Please subscribe, comment and share if you haven't already!!!! Its truly a great song. i hear it all over the place now. jukeboxes in bars etc.
The word "relevance" should be Pink Floyd's middle name. The words and music are truly timeless. Hits as hard today as when they were first written. It is why this album keeps returning to the charts time after time again year after year nearly 50 years after it's release.
This came out more than 51 years ago, in 1973! It's from the 3rd biggest selling album of all-time, "Dark Side of the Moon". That album regularly tops lists of the greatest albums in music history! It also holds the record, by a LONG way, of having spent most weeks on the Billboard Album Chart, with roughly 1000 weeks on the chart! That's almost 20 years in total! They also have the biggest selling double album of all-time, "The Wall" and have several other albums that are ranked as absolute bona fide masterpieces! They battle it out with Led Zeppelin for the title of the 2nd biggest band in the history of music. The Beatles, of course, at number one. They're also one of the most influential acts in music history and one of the most innovative too. Their songwriting and instrumental skills speak for themselves. They were also pioneers in the use of synths and in production too! You're listening to real giants of popular music. If you want to understand the history of modern music, you have to listen to Pink Floyd! They're easily in the top 5 most influential music acts of all-time! They still outsell 99.9% of current artists, with one or more of their albums re-entering the charts most years. Every few years one of their albums hits the number 1 spot again! Absolute musical geniuses! There'll never be another Pink Floyd and unlike virtually all current artists, they'll still be listened to 100 years from now! :)
Sir. Great reaction. Better than just great. Thank you for doing the reaction. If you like this track.......ummm....wait to you hear the song that comes after it on the album. Darkside of the moon. The song is "The Great Gig In The Sky" I suggest studio only not live because only the original track off the album is the real deal.
The wall is a concept album. Make sure you listen to it in it's entirety. Each song is a piece to the rock opera puzzle. A masterpiece. U will enjoy decrypting it. It's like a shakespearean play
Hands down, that is the best song reaction of any song, of any band, from any person(s) on TH-cam. I was born in 72' and grew up on Pink Floyd from my parents. I've listened to that album a million times but that song and the lyrics never hit me until I was maybe 35. Went to rehab from a drug addiction, clean mind and listen to those lyrics again and I was sad thinking of the time wasted in my life. Watching you was like seeing myself process this song into my head. BEST WRITTEN SONG EVER.
@@RedTopReactions I see some people suggest "Great Gig in the Sky" from the album but I would watch and listen to the live version of it. The passion and soul is on display from the women that sing on this song. When you have some time listen to the whole album, "Dark side of the moon". It is in my top 5 best albums of all time and my favorite band is Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine.
Great comments. Love that you don't filter. The end part is a reprise if Breathe, which is track two (this is 4). It represents dying and the magic bell is the funeral procession. This leads it right unto the next track, which represents the actual death and ascension to whatever is next...the great gig.
i love your reaction. i'm 65. i first heard this when the album came out, in '73. that was the year my life was destroyed. the job i wanted to do for the rest of my life ended. attempted suicide, mental hospitals. trying to find something else to do, in vain. nothing i ever tried came to anything. now i've been terminally ill, since 2006. emphysema can kill you tomorrow, or in 20 yrs time. in 2006 i was given just a few months to live, at most. now i'm housebound. however, i'm part of an admin team for a group for sufferers of lung diseases. people join and say how scared they are, how they think their life is over. so i use my story to take their fear away, help them to manage the disease and assure them that they can have many years ahead of them, if the do things right. it is my reason for living, now. in terminal illness, i';ve found my purpose in life and finally learned to live in peace with it.
“Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way” refers to the culture of the ‘stiff upper-lip’ that the people from England/Britain are known for (Pink Floyd are from England)
You can't grasp every single second or day of your life, but you can try to make time flow in a direction you choose. Time isn't wasted, it's experienced.
Dude. It was a legit great time listening to this with you. I have heard this song hundreds of times but never *listened* to it. I just started getting in to song reactions. Glad I found you. The lyrics on screen helped it carve deeper.
yeah man. thats what i do. andi feel you. songs that i liked as a kid whe i react to them as a grown man, its not that i havent heard the song before, its that i just never really listened now. reacting forces me to listen.
Congratulations you are now a Pink Floyd fan! Great Gig in the Sky follows Time on the album and the theme of that song is death; it's a mind blowing song.
awesome stuff, keep it up, listen to all pink floyd, its all pretty deep and fantastic like this, also, it does provoke an interesting though into time, that really you brought up
I loved your reaction to this great song. Perhaps the the deepest lyrics ever written. Everyone in this world can relate to this song. It applies to all of us.
Honestly High hopes has another phenomenal Solo. And it shows where David Gilmour's guitar playing really goes beyond what is normally played. He preferres playing Slide Guitar.
He and Pink Floyd is a match made in Heaven! Let’s go!✌️😎 and I was listening to this when I was in high school in the 80’s...almost 50 and Pink Floyd is magical! There is so much to show you!😊
One of the best bands to ever come out of the UK...amazing back catalogue!! Loved this reaction, others to consider, imho, would be songs like Keep Talking, Wearing The Inside Out, Money, Breathe, Wish You Were Here, Dogs, On The Turning Away... Songs from The Wall album (like Comfortably Numb) are a bit harder to recommend as it's a concept album, the whole album tells a story, but Hey You, Mother, Young Lust are good ones, as well as of course, probably the best known Floyd song apart from Comfortably Numb, Another Brick In The Wall Pt2. Again, brilliant reaction, some of their lyrics are awesome, and Dave's guitar playing is beyond amazing!
@@RedTopReactions - yeah, i watched the react to that one when you uploaded it, love that song! And your react was awesome :) And yeah i agree, some lyrics just have a habit of suckerpunching you, and this song is one of them...every time i hear this song (which is often as the album is one of my all time favourites) it gets me again!
Absolutely! ...and considering that The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Free, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Yes, Queen, Genesis, Dire Straits, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers, The Police, Iron Maiden, The Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Massive Attack, Portishead, The Prodigy, Blur, Oasis, Coldplay, Muse and Radiohead... etc all came from the UK too, makes it even more impressive! :)
Hear the beat on the right side of the mix sounds like a heart beat,it' meant to.in fact you will hear the heart beat at times throughout the album. Look at the heart trace you see depicted on the inside of the gatefold album cover.
That last part never seems to reach listeners. Home, home again. I like to be here when I can. That is an OLD man. Then straight to the tolling of the iron bell and the song ends suddenly. I am an old man, who heard this song first as a teenager, and have begun to understand those last few lines. They are oddly comforting after all the wasted time, the desperation and lost plans.
Listen baby I’m 65, at your age I was still having the time of my life. I was the generation that seen almost all the famous bands, while singing in my own rock band. But learning German to train mail professional athletes. That happen at 40. You are so young,, not ready to toll the iron bell.
Nobody in music history made a guitar talk and tell a story the way David Gilmore did it. No-bo-dy. The man never learned to read music, but he did learn the sound of every note on that fret board along with every nuance in a bend or stretch as well as unique effects to tell a story with the notes. So with that he was a genius at trailing the emotional intention of the lyrics right into his instrumental orchestrations on the guitar solos along with the complimenting musical detail. Absolutely unparalleled in any music. If there is, PLEASE let me know. Seriously. Pink Floyd is seriously a once in a lifetime musical assemblage and I challenge anyone to give me a comparison that is more emotion provoking than the first time music was discovered from raw material, and, Pink Floyds orchestration of emotionally relatable music, ESPECIALLY the song “Time”. Oh, and great reaction by the way, LOL!!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
My friend there are 2 rules when you listen Pink Floyd : 1: you dont pause when gilmour plays a solo. 2: never forget the first rule. Knowing this, you can go to the pulse live version of confortly numb
looking back from my 68 years I am happy with how things played out that i took the the time to smell the roses and didn't marry till 43. Success to me is living a good life filled with memories of places and people and good times. It doesn't come down to a dollar amount or impressing other people.
G'day Mmmaaayte!. You took the time to break this down step by step as it fell. Not convinced you got the significance of the very last sentence but you are an absolute stand-out fella for - "Pickin' up what they were putin' down!". Out of dozens of reactors this one is THE one I will show my kids. Good onya mate!. You "read the play" beautifully!.👍 Zebedee from Oz. 👍
Alright, dude. You are funny. But you are real and aware. A pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work. Be blessed. Oh - don't worry about pausing. That's part of the enjoyment - hearing your reaction to amazing music. And meaningful lyrics. Especially to us older folk who are reliving the same reaction through you. Subscribed.
Shiiiit y'all.... "Ain't no time like the right time and that ain't time to be fooling around"! Cheech and Chong. Oh and I've just subcribed. Good reaction.
THAST A REAL SONG? ID LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT. I HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO CHEECHA ND CHONG. AS I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW INTRODUCTION TO TEH CHANNEL AS WELL
@@RedTopReactions Hahaha sorry brother. Not a band but movies stars from 70s right up to the present. 'Watch up in smoke' You'll know Cheech Marin as he's in 'dusk till dawn' another great movie.
My dad introduced me to this album, I sat behind the couch mesmerized with his Sony headphones and turntable. Listening to this whole album straight through was awesome. Still love the song.
The "quiet desperation " line is a reference to Henry David Thoreau who once wrote "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation ". He also wrote "you must work very long to write short sentences" which may be the inspiration for the "half a page of scribbled lines" lyric.
We, his daughters and I, played this album at my ex’s funeral (the visitation). At first we got crazy looks from the directors at the funeral home, but the volume was kept relatively low, and this is a mellow album. Afterwards, the funeral home asked us for a copy of the CD! It was his favorite music and seemed like the perfect send off.
Great reaction, your humour and tone remind me of Eddie Murphy. Each song is a piece of a puzzle, the complete puzzle being there album. I think you will also like their songs 'Hey You' and 'Mother'. Both are from the album 'The Wall', as is 'Comfortably Numb'.
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. I was at the concert called Pulse where they played the whole album from beginning to end. A friend is still jealous.
Never occurred to me to fast forward any Pink Floyd song & I never will, even though I’ve heard these songs since they came out! Please continue down this great rabbit hole 🕳🐇 This album has been on the top 100 charts for 18+ years! 🔥🎶🔥
I don't like people pausing songs but I will let you off cos you dissected the whole song pretty well , good reaction 👍
thank you!!
If you don’t like people pausing songs then just go and listen to the actual song

I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.
It doesn't matter how old you are brother, this song made me feel the same, when I first heard at 13 teen. It's telling you what to do, it's saying wake the fuck up bro, before you even know. Life is short, use it well!
This is by far the best reaction I've ever seen to this masterpiece. How you have any dislikes to this reaction is beyond me. Great reaction brother. Keep them coming good sir! You got a new subscriber.
thank you.
I'M COMMENTING ON HIS REACTION RIGHT NOW AS I'M COMMENTING ON WHAT YOU SAID 1 MONTH AGO, AND BECAUSE MY COMMENTS ARE MORE LIKE A SHORT STORY OR LONG LETTER, LOL, I HAD TO TAKE A BREAK TO CHECK OUT SOME MORE RELEVANT COMMENTS AND I LIKED YOURS , READ MINE WHEN OR IF YOU GET A NOTIFICATION FOR LIKING YOUR COMMENT! I'M GOING BACK TO FINISH IT RIGHT NOW IT'S 9:35 PM EAST COAST TIME SO IF YOU TRY AND READ MY COMMENT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT POSTED YET, BUT YOU GET MY DRIFT! LOL!
I first heard it in 1973 and was blown away! It was on an entirely different level than any of the top 40 music I was used to. I listened to the entire DSOTM album, start to finish w/o stopping. It changed my view of music forever! It's Timeless!
Man, Love your Reaction, Cheers from Tijuana, Mexico.
Awesome! Thank you! MEXICOOOOOO! WHATS UP
Haven't been to Tijuana since 2015.😢
I was able to realize these lyrics in a different way now, thank you, great content.
Yeah man, I am a poetry professor and this is the reaction that made me subscribe to you. You get it. More like this please.
thanks will do
I first heard this when I was 14. Now I'm 46. This song always means something new
Saw you mention this on another one of your reactions, had to come check it out. Love it man, good shit.
Also, with realizing things, it's only negative if we don't learn from it.
These lyrics could be just as profound for a 17yo kid as they are for a 47yo. Reflection is a solid psychologist, if we let it be.
Peace and blessings to you and your's.
lol which reaction was that, that lwd u here. this is one of the top 10 songs i heard from reacting. and by far the most hard hitting.
@@RedTopReactions Shit man, I can't remember, sorry. Too much life going on right now, love the reactions I watch. Be careful out there and have fun. ✌️
ETA: Context may have been misinterpreted, may be my fault. I was just mentioning the importance of positivity. Beautiful song that hits deep, if you're open, had to check out your reaction to it. Knew it would be good.
"The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older"
I didn't start listening to music to be attacked like this, god damn rofl xD
🤣
First time watching you. 2 thumbs up for you. One of the best reaction videos I've watched!
"The guitar is crying. It's telling you how to feel," is probably the best summation of rock I think I've ever heard.
I was 15 when this came out now I’m 65. Listening to it then is so different than today. I own all but one Floyd album but Dark Side is my most played. My daughter loves it also and Time, she gets it!👍
Thank You for watching, Please subscribe, comment and share if you haven't already!!!! Its truly a great song. i hear it all over the place now. jukeboxes in bars etc.
... this dropped 51 years ago, in 1973. Think about that, huh?
Tears falling from the guitar.I like it
The word "relevance" should be Pink Floyd's middle name. The words and music are truly timeless. Hits as hard today as when they were first written. It is why this album keeps returning to the charts time after time again year after year nearly 50 years after it's release.
Dude your fucking annoying you don't have to stop it every 5 seconds to react
@@brianlockhart8683 Hey! Tell him, not me. lol
This came out more than 51 years ago, in 1973! It's from the 3rd biggest selling album of all-time, "Dark Side of the Moon". That album regularly tops lists of the greatest albums in music history! It also holds the record, by a LONG way, of having spent most weeks on the Billboard Album Chart, with roughly 1000 weeks on the chart! That's almost 20 years in total! They also have the biggest selling double album of all-time, "The Wall" and have several other albums that are ranked as absolute bona fide masterpieces! They battle it out with Led Zeppelin for the title of the 2nd biggest band in the history of music. The Beatles, of course, at number one. They're also one of the most influential acts in music history and one of the most innovative too. Their songwriting and instrumental skills speak for themselves. They were also pioneers in the use of synths and in production too! You're listening to real giants of popular music. If you want to understand the history of modern music, you have to listen to Pink Floyd! They're easily in the top 5 most influential music acts of all-time! They still outsell 99.9% of current artists, with one or more of their albums re-entering the charts most years. Every few years one of their albums hits the number 1 spot again! Absolute musical geniuses! There'll never be another Pink Floyd and unlike virtually all current artists, they'll still be listened to 100 years from now! :)
Normally when I dont mind pauses. But when it's pink floyd. You cant pause it. Just let it play and experience it. And TOOL
My favorite song man... Hit me when I was about 35... Tried to get my kids to take it in when they were teenagers but you know how that goes..
I was young when this album was released. I've spent so much time listening to this song so many times and not a second of that time has been wasted.
Best reaction ever. You got the message man
Love ya brother. The album Dark Side of the Moon deserves a listen front to back. Life changing. Life enhancing.
Sir. Great reaction. Better than just great. Thank you for doing the reaction. If you like this track.......ummm....wait to you hear the song that comes after it on the album. Darkside of the moon. The song is "The Great Gig In The Sky" I suggest studio only not live because only the original track off the album is the real deal.
Try acid and listen you wont be an atheist. Peace!
A Pink Floyd song does not start when someone "sings words". It starts at 0:00 and ends when... well it lasts the rest of your life.
Nice job dude! That’s the piece!
Best reaction to Time yet! Great job!
Appreciate that
The wall is a concept album. Make sure you listen to it in it's entirety. Each song is a piece to the rock opera puzzle. A masterpiece. U will enjoy decrypting it. It's like a shakespearean play
Hands down, that is the best song reaction of any song, of any band, from any person(s) on TH-cam. I was born in 72' and grew up on Pink Floyd from my parents. I've listened to that album a million times but that song and the lyrics never hit me until I was maybe 35. Went to rehab from a drug addiction, clean mind and listen to those lyrics again and I was sad thinking of the time wasted in my life. Watching you was like seeing myself process this song into my head. BEST WRITTEN SONG EVER.
🙏🏾
@@RedTopReactions I see some people suggest "Great Gig in the Sky" from the album but I would watch and listen to the live version of it. The passion and soul is on display from the women that sing on this song. When you have some time listen to the whole album, "Dark side of the moon". It is in my top 5 best albums of all time and my favorite band is Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine.
This song is nearly 50 years old & still as relevant today as it ever was. Makes us all re-evaluate our lives & our legacy.
indeed
Yup,we all have existential moments when we get older😎
Great comments. Love that you don't filter.
The end part is a reprise if Breathe, which is track two (this is 4). It represents dying and the magic bell is the funeral procession. This leads it right unto the next track, which represents the actual death and ascension to whatever is next...the great gig.
Love your interpretation of this song - right on!!!👍
After hearing that album a thousand times, you brought a new fresh perspective. You analyzed it better than anyone.
THANK YOU MARIA!!!
i love your reaction. i'm 65. i first heard this when the album came out, in '73. that was the year my life was destroyed. the job i wanted to do for the rest of my life ended. attempted suicide, mental hospitals. trying to find something else to do, in vain. nothing i ever tried came to anything. now i've been terminally ill, since 2006. emphysema can kill you tomorrow, or in 20 yrs time. in 2006 i was given just a few months to live, at most. now i'm housebound. however, i'm part of an admin team for a group for sufferers of lung diseases. people join and say how scared they are, how they think their life is over. so i use my story to take their fear away, help them to manage the disease and assure them that they can have many years ahead of them, if the do things right. it is my reason for living, now. in terminal illness, i';ve found my purpose in life and finally learned to live in peace with it.
thank you for the positive story. and glad you finally did find some peace and using that to help others
im sorry thru all that, i focused more on ur story and forgot to say thanks for watching the reaction.🙏🏾
“Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way” refers to the culture of the ‘stiff upper-lip’ that the people from England/Britain are known for (Pink Floyd are from England)
The worst thing is that he wrote this when he was 25. We're almost all older than the guy who wrote the best song about going old
Been watching ton's of reaction videos - yours is the best full-appreciation for the words of this song. Thanks.
Wow, thank you!
You can't grasp every single second or day of your life, but you can try to make time flow in a direction you choose. Time isn't wasted, it's experienced.
Dude. It was a legit great time listening to this with you. I have heard this song hundreds of times but never *listened* to it. I just started getting in to song reactions. Glad I found you. The lyrics on screen helped it carve deeper.
yeah man. thats what i do. andi feel you. songs that i liked as a kid whe i react to them as a grown man, its not that i havent heard the song before, its that i just never really listened now. reacting forces me to listen.
Congratulations you are now a Pink Floyd fan! Great Gig in the Sky follows Time on the album and the theme of that song is death; it's a mind blowing song.
Yea I'm in a band as studying music and am trying to write lyrics wish they could be as good as these lyrics
THIS WAS SOME GREAT STUFF, VERY MEANINGFUL AND POWERFUL
Good luck, that's why their top echelon. I've been a musician since 1975 and can't come up with anything close.
awesome stuff, keep it up, listen to all pink floyd, its all pretty deep and fantastic like this, also, it does provoke an interesting though into time, that really you brought up
I loved your reaction to this great song. Perhaps the the deepest lyrics ever written. Everyone in this world can relate to this song. It applies to all of us.
Enjoying your reactions, I think you would definitely enjoy Pink Floyd-High Hopes
thanks. i am definitely wanting to check out more PF. i have also already done comfortably numb. check it out. it was great also
Honestly High hopes has another phenomenal Solo. And it shows where David Gilmour's guitar playing really goes beyond what is normally played. He preferres playing Slide Guitar.
@@RedTopReactions Soooo? 🕳🐇
He and Pink Floyd is a match made in Heaven! Let’s go!✌️😎 and I was listening to this when I was in high school in the 80’s...almost 50 and Pink Floyd is magical! There is so much to show you!😊
IM HERE. I ALREADY NO WHAT IM DOING NEXT FROM THEM
You know it’s real when it makes you feel and or think. It’s ironic that the song that is about the fleeting shortness of time, is itself timeless.
One of the best bands to ever come out of the UK...amazing back catalogue!!
Loved this reaction, others to consider, imho, would be songs like Keep Talking, Wearing The Inside Out, Money, Breathe, Wish You Were Here, Dogs, On The Turning Away...
Songs from The Wall album (like Comfortably Numb) are a bit harder to recommend as it's a concept album, the whole album tells a story, but Hey You, Mother, Young Lust are good ones, as well as of course, probably the best known Floyd song apart from Comfortably Numb, Another Brick In The Wall Pt2.
Again, brilliant reaction, some of their lyrics are awesome, and Dave's guitar playing is beyond amazing!
WELL I CAN TELL YOU 100% SURE. I DID COMFORTABLY NUMB. SO WHEN U SEARCH U WILL FIND THAT ONE LOL.
Also, this song just gets more and more relevant as I get older, and the lyrics get more true!
@@Elezium HITS IN THE SOULAR PLEXUS
@@RedTopReactions - yeah, i watched the react to that one when you uploaded it, love that song! And your react was awesome :)
And yeah i agree, some lyrics just have a habit of suckerpunching you, and this song is one of them...every time i hear this song (which is often as the album is one of my all time favourites) it gets me again!
Absolutely! ...and considering that The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Free, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Yes, Queen, Genesis, Dire Straits, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers, The Police, Iron Maiden, The Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Massive Attack, Portishead, The Prodigy, Blur, Oasis, Coldplay, Muse and Radiohead... etc all came from the UK too, makes it even more impressive! :)
Hear the beat on the right side of the mix sounds like a heart beat,it' meant to.in fact you will hear the heart beat at times throughout the album. Look at the heart trace you see depicted on the inside of the gatefold album cover.
That last part never seems to reach listeners.
Home, home again. I like to be here when I can.
That is an OLD man.
Then straight to the tolling of the iron bell and the song ends suddenly.
I am an old man, who heard this song first as a teenager, and have begun to understand those last few lines.
They are oddly comforting after all the wasted time, the desperation and lost plans.
Listen baby I’m 65, at your age I was still having the time of my life. I was the generation that seen almost all the famous bands, while singing in my own rock band. But learning German to train mail professional athletes. That happen at 40. You are so young,, not ready to toll the iron bell.
It's a human condition...affects every gender, sex, race.🤔🤔🤔
Nobody in music history made a guitar talk and tell a story the way David Gilmore did it. No-bo-dy. The man never learned to read music, but he did learn the sound of every note on that fret board along with every nuance in a bend or stretch as well as unique effects to tell a story with the notes. So with that he was a genius at trailing the emotional intention of the lyrics right into his instrumental orchestrations on the guitar solos along with the complimenting musical detail. Absolutely unparalleled in any music. If there is, PLEASE let me know. Seriously. Pink Floyd is seriously a once in a lifetime musical assemblage and I challenge anyone to give me a comparison that is more emotion provoking than the first time music was discovered from raw material, and, Pink Floyds orchestration of emotionally relatable music, ESPECIALLY the song “Time”.
Oh, and great reaction by the way, LOL!!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
My friend there are 2 rules when you listen Pink Floyd :
1: you dont pause when gilmour plays a solo.
2: never forget the first rule.
Knowing this, you can go to the pulse live version of confortly numb
Gilmours guitar makes my eyes water. You should always listen to this music at extremely high decibles.
You're gonna LOVE the "lyrics" to "The Great Gig in the Sky". Gonna make you cry !
looking back from my 68 years I am happy with how things played out that i took the the time to smell the roses and didn't marry till 43. Success to me is living a good life filled with memories of places and people and good times. It doesn't come down to a dollar amount or impressing other people.
G'day Mmmaaayte!.
You took the time to break this down step by step as it fell.
Not convinced you got the significance of the very last sentence but you are an absolute stand-out fella for - "Pickin' up what they were putin' down!".
Out of dozens of reactors this one is THE one I will show my kids.
Good onya mate!.
You "read the play" beautifully!.👍
Zebedee from Oz. 👍
wow! i really appreciate the comment.
i listened to this song for the first time when i was 17 now I'm 49 and it feels like that happened yesterday that's how time operates
Yup. We all feel that if we dare to look...
It's good to share ..
..to know that in that sense we all have each others' backs ...
Alright, dude. You are funny. But you are real and aware. A pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work. Be blessed.
Oh - don't worry about pausing. That's part of the enjoyment - hearing your reaction to amazing music. And meaningful lyrics. Especially to us older folk who are reliving the same reaction through you.
Subscribed.
I appreciate that!
Shiiiit y'all.... "Ain't no time like the right time and that ain't time to be fooling around"! Cheech and Chong.
Oh and I've just subcribed. Good reaction.
THAST A REAL SONG? ID LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT. I HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO CHEECHA ND CHONG. AS I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW INTRODUCTION TO TEH CHANNEL AS WELL
@@RedTopReactions Hahaha sorry brother. Not a band but movies stars from 70s right up to the present. 'Watch up in smoke' You'll know Cheech Marin as he's in 'dusk till dawn' another great movie.
My dad introduced me to this album, I sat behind the couch mesmerized with his Sony headphones and turntable. Listening to this whole album straight through was awesome. Still love the song.
The "quiet desperation " line is a reference to Henry David Thoreau who once wrote "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation ". He also wrote "you must work very long to write short sentences" which may be the inspiration for the "half a page of scribbled lines" lyric.
Thanks!
We, his daughters and I, played this album at my ex’s funeral (the visitation). At first we got crazy looks from the directors at the funeral home, but the volume was kept relatively low, and this is a mellow album. Afterwards, the funeral home asked us for a copy of the CD! It was his favorite music and seemed like the perfect send off.
❤❤ I cried when I first listened to this song. I love music that makes you think. Like damn we come and go.. life's short
Great reaction, your humour and tone remind me of Eddie Murphy.
Each song is a piece of a puzzle, the complete puzzle being there album.
I think you will also like their songs 'Hey You' and 'Mother'. Both are from the album 'The Wall', as is 'Comfortably Numb'.
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
I was at the concert called Pulse where they played the whole album from beginning to end. A friend is still jealous.
I feel like the music in the beginning is considered the space from time you are born to actually beginning your life path!
Never occurred to me to fast forward any Pink Floyd song & I never will, even though I’ve heard these songs since they came out!
Please continue down this great rabbit hole 🕳🐇
This album has been on the top 100 charts for 18+ years! 🔥🎶🔥
He's singing the song about your life...close the book your epitaph has been written.
I havent heard this in so long. Great song I am 46 and this is so true now more than ever. Great reaction.
