Richard was so underated. Animals and wish you were here was his best work in my opinion. He really gave pink floyd the emotions and little eerie sounds. True genius

So the "long note" you're hearing is actually Roger's vocals fading out and being blended with Rick on the synthesizer. It's perfectly mixed so you can't tell where his voice ends and the synth begins.

The part that sounds like "church prayer" is a prayer from the sheeps point of view. "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by With bright knives he releaseth my soul He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places He converteth me to lamb cutlets For lo, he hath great power and great hunger When cometh the day we lowly ones Through quiet reflection and great dedication Master the art of karate Lo, we shall rise up And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water."

Sheep. What a life.

Roger Waters was inspired by George Orwell's book "Animal Farm", while recording the "Animals" album. At the end of this song Roger Waters is basically saying all human beings are essentially the same. Power corrupts. Notice how the sheep had an uprising and killed the dogs. They thought themselves became the new dogs and began to abuse the weaker.

Nice! Yes, those were keyboards. Richard shines on keyboards. He's a keyboard master. In Welcome to the machine, his keyboards cut through the heart with such pain that you cannot forget it. Of course with all the other Pink Floyd candies. This is definitely a song you should be reacting to next.

I've seen Pink Floyd four times in three different decades and the most mind-blowing concert was the one in 1977 called the In the flesh tour!! They played all of Animals took a short break and then played all of Wish You Were Here and then came out and played half of Dark Side of The Moon for their encore with the original four members!!! I saw at least two dozen people having to be hauled out from passing out or freaking out because of the intensity of the visuals the lights and the music!! That concert is one of about 100 I've seen in my life and the most amazing one I've seen and the only one where my wife and I drove all the way home and didn't say a word!!! Some of the people that were hauled out were freaking out because they had taken acid and we're not ready for what was about to happen!!

It’s a treat so see you reacting to Pink Floyd songs, to see you recognizing their genius, to see their music will never get old or old-fashioned ❤️

Gilmour's guitar and bass on this song are brilliant.

Sheep makes me visualize their music so perfectly... First all sheep live their peaceful life, but the bass comes up slowly, like there is something bad about to happen, but as the bass is still quiet, it doesn't bother them. Then the sound explosion is like that something bad actually happened, for many of them "suddenly", but... if they only dare to hear the warning... Then there is a slaughterhouse part, like they failed to defend. There is a brain washing moment after which they are all threatened, aggressive music turns into this perfect guitar riffs that fades away and "the peace" comes back and it is all going back to where it all started. The sheep will be sheep forever! This song has such a great connection of the meaning, background theme, sounds, music and lyrics, like it's a real movie!

Stunning song everyone should listen to. Especially in the last 4 years where the world's population were so compliant and trusting, without questioning anything. Meekly doing what they were told. Cool reaction as usual.

When I saw Floyd during the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour at the massive (old) Wembley stadium, the sound of the animals was being played on their quadrophonic sound system, fading louder until they came on stage to perform at the start of the show. In the middle of London, hearing cows and sheep was bizarre.

In 1977, a couple of years after I graduated high school, someone, most likely a student at that school, painted the entire lyrics of "Sheep" on one of the outer walls of the school. It covered two floors, I was most impressed.

This song contains one of my favourite Pink Floyd lines - 'Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream'! - Brilliant! Great reaction, Stacey!

The reason you like the Bass is called David Gilmour. The lyrics would explain, or give you a much better understanding of the album You’re just so incredible.

Usually you just want to lose yourself in a Pink Floyd song. For this album, pulling up the lyrics is helpful as well. Dogs is probably my favorite, but all three of the major songs on this album are great. Dogs is very Gilmour heavy as he doesn’t sing on the others, and his guitar work on Dogs is among his best. They actually were working on these songs and performing them shortly after Dark Side of the Moon but they didn’t record them for the next album (Wish You Were Here). They took the time to let the songs germinate until they got them just right. Most musicians don’t take the time to do that. Respectful to their craft was a great way to put it.

Yes, good point, you can hear early version of the songs that ended up on both Wish You Were Hear and Animals in the first set at Boston Garden 1975.

A few minor exceptions of course, David did Smile and probably a couple of others live first, but as a band, that of like 1970-1975 they performed many tracks live before they committed it to record.

There's nothing better than watching Stacey react to Pink Floyd. The fact that she's breathtakingly beautiful certainly plays some small part in that. Is There Anybody Out There? from The Wall would undoubtedly be another incredible reaction.

It's funny that dogs is the only song Rodger Waters played bass on on animals. You got Mr Gilmore playing the bass guitar on sheep. Although my favorite part of sheep is Rodger Waters voice fading seamlessly into the synth on the ends of some of the lyrics!!

this song is really a locomotive, the force with which it starts. It's like waiting in the quiet station listening to the sheep, the bass... and the engine goes at full power. It pulls you in.

In the middle of the song is an altered version of the Psalm of David. I never thought I would get to see any of the Animals songs live but Roger played Dogs and Pigs (3 different kinds) during his “Us + Them” tour and Sheep during the most recent “This is Not A Drill” tour. I’ve seen Floyd live twice, Gilmour once (and have tickets to his upcoming show at MSG) and Roger 8 times.

Hi Stacey, Good interpretation for a first time listen to a very complex piece of music. While listening to the album Animals, you should keep in mind a quote from Animal Farm: 'All animals are equal, it's just that some are more equal than others.' And remember that we, humans, are just animals of one sort. And yes, this is another album that should be digested as a whole. ♥♥♥♥

We Floydians aren't sheep! I can't see you having reacted to Radiohead yet and whilst there will be only ever be one Pink Floyd Radiohead are a band to experience and Thom Yorke's voice is one of a kind. Most people start off with "Creep" which they saw as a millstone or "Paranoid Android" which can be an assault on the senses so I would recommend "Karma Police" as an introduction to their early sound or the atmospheric "Street Spirit (Fade out) " for Thom at his very best

Cool! I got to see Roger do this live a couple of times. Had the 8 track back in 78. I have tried to live my life by not being a sheep thanks to this song.

Quote; "Loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, 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. Whereas the novella focuses on Stalinism, the album is a critique of capitalism and differs again in that the sheep eventually rise up to overpower the dogs. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which, in the words of author Glenn Povey, "described the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of mere animals". Anyhow... A brilliant concept album by Pink Floyd, one of the best in my humble opinion!

I aleays felt this song brings you to a time travel journey, first part is the past, middle part present and then straight to the future into space travelling.
