The only piece of music ever to have done that in over 50 years of exploring most genres.

Before you screw up jumping down the rabbit hole, ask your pop’s how to listen to Pink Floyd. Their albums are concept albums and were written, and engineered to be listened to from track one in order to the end. Every reactor that listens to Pink Floyd has been advised to listen to PF that way. Few do it because of the time constraints that they have placed on themselves believing that no one will watch an extended length reaction. I’ve listened to DSOTM, WYWH, Meddle, Animals, and The Wall hundreds of times. To this day, if a reactor actually does a complete album in order I watch, and so do hundreds of other Pink Floyd’s fans. We love to see how you experience. It reminds of our first time, our tenth time and our hundredth time. It never gets old. It is life music that never gets outdated. Just ask your pop’s. He will steer you straight.

This is true. No PF fan ever says: "I'm going to go home and listen to Comfortably Numb" or "Hey You' or "Time". NO! PF fans will knock off work go home, put the lights down low, or even off. Pour a scotch or glass of red wine, get in the been bag and lay way back...Waaaayyyy back and start drinking and listening to their whole albums....this is the way you listen to Floyd !!!

He would play Dark Side of the Moon to calm me down when I was a like 3. As good as the studio version of Comfortably Numb is you really need to hear the live versions. I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd in 1994 at San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium. To this day it is by far the best concert I have ever been to.

“Sounds like soundtrack of your life” Perfect description. Welcome to Pink Floyd. Two suggestions: 1. Listen to this (and every Pink Floyd album) from beginning to end. Some of the earlier and later albums don’t tell a story, but Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall are one long story that take you in a full circle where you end up where you started...the individual songs don’t necessarily stand on their own. If you listen to Comfortably Numb in context it makes the lyrics much more meaningful. 2. Share this with YOUR children. A friend of mine once said “you know you’ve raised your children right when you find Pink Floyd on their iPod.” Maybe a bit dated, but true nevertheless. Loved your reaction, and immediately mashed the Subscribe.

Love the reaction, thanks man. Trouble is "The Wall" album, which this was from, is a true concept album - it's difficult to react to a single song in isolation. The album tells the story of a rock star from childhood - this song is about a doctor administering drugs to him to get him up and able to perform on the night of a gig, so there are two voices in the song, David Gilmour as the rock star and Roger Waters as the doctor. As for the guitar solos, my favourite saying about them is "Leo Fender created the Stratocaster and God created David Gilmour to play it" - Davi is truly on of the greatest players ever to pick up guitar.

Love the reaction, that song touched you just like it is supposed to. I have to tell you the best way to listen to Floyd is to listen to the entire album start to finish if you really want to go on that journey. "Dark Side of the Moon" = life and death a must listen in it's entirety. "Wish You Were Here" = The story of one of the founding members Sid Barrett (youtube video on that subject), The Wall = Roger Water story growing up in England during WWll, "Animals" = political turmoil between the classes (think Animal Farm). If you really want to get into them go back to their "Meddle" or "Ummagumma" albums or even earlier stuff "Atom Heart Mother", "Pipers at the Gate of Dawn" and the video "Live at Pompeii. Once known as the "Tea Set" after getting ready to do a show there found out another band had that name. Sid Barrett was into the old blues and two men in particular, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, hence the name Pink Floyd!! Enjoy them I know I have. I prescribe the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album. Oh, you may wanna keep tissues around for "Great Gig in the Sky" - her name is Clare Torry!

I just found your review of “Comfortably Numb”. You couldn’t have picked a better song to honor your father with. As a 51 year old white, who grew up in a small town with a 50/50 mix. I can relate to your dad’s comments “We’re black” didn’t think y’all would enjoy his “well rounded” love of music. I can relate, being exposed to the likes of Ray, Ottis, Barry, Aretha, Kool and the Gand, Smoky (Dear heaven’s what a voice!) not to mention my personal favorite, Lionel, before and after the Commodores!! Still the greatest voice, my opinion ever!! This would have NEVER happened had I grown up somewhere else. Cable TV, psst! We got two channels on the rabbit ears and large antenna, three if the wind blew in the right direction. Nonetheless, it was all about the music. The artist I grew up on were troubadours! For me it’s more universal then math! I’m a huge Metallic fan. They wrote a lot of songs with lyrics that speak to me after 5 tours in the Korengal Valley and 4 in Iraq. Anyway, most of Pink Floyd’s music and lyrics surround the serious mental issue from PTSD, Roger’s father suffered from after fighting in WW II. However, here’s the actual story behind “Comfortably Numb”. The lyrics were inspired by Waters's experience of being injected with tranquillisers for stomach cramps before a Pink Floyd show in Philadelphia on the 1977 In the Flesh Tour. "That was the longest two hours of my life," Waters said, "trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm." The song had the working title "The Doctor". Hey, I dig your wife’s reviews as well!! If you can do one for me, for the brothers I lost. One of those was my twin brother Nicholas and misfortune of seeing it happen during a fire fight and that feeling of helplessness once I was able get to him. I would be honored if you would review “Brothers In Arms” by Dire Straits, which is actually the title of the album. For all our brothers and sisters who paid that ultimate sacrifice!

Before you screw up jumping down the rabbit hole, ask your pop’s how to listen to Pink Floyd. Their albums are concept albums and were written, and engineered to be listened to from track one in order to the end. Every reactor that listens to Pink Floyd has been advised to listen to PF that way. Few do it because of the time constraints that they have placed on themselves believing that no one will watch an extended length reaction. I’ve listened to DSOTM, WYWH, Meddle, Animals, and The Wall hundreds of times. To this day, if a reactor actually does a complete album in order I watch, and so do hundreds of other Pink Floyd’s fans. We love to see how you experience. It reminds of our first time, our tenth time and our hundredth time. It never gets old. It is life music that never gets outdated. Just ask your pop’s. He will steer you straight.

Pink Floyd should be taught in schools. This is how music should be made. As I'm sure many have said, you've got to watch and listen to the Pulse video to hear them at their very best.
To get the full effect you need to listen to these albums in order: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. This is a psychological journey and no single song or album gives you the full effect. Ask your dad if I’m right.

My dude, Welcome To The Machine, you will never see the landscape of music the same again, and that is a fact. Just wait until you start exploring their album Animals, it is a true Masterpiece.
Nicely done young man. Welcome to the joy of the greatest song ever recorded. it is very emotional. My kids have instructions to play this song at my funeral.
LOL "You"re Black!" Great music knows no color
Pink Floyd's music was always the most Mind Bending of the so called "Psychedelic 70's" era and their lyrics covered everything from "Mommy Issues" (Mother) to "Loneliness" (Hey You) to "Rebellion against Authority" (Just Another Brick In The Wall) to Greed (Money) to the "Human Rat Race" (Time) and much, much more!

“Sounds like soundtrack of your life” Perfect description. Welcome to Pink Floyd. Two suggestions: 1. Listen to this (and every Pink Floyd album) from beginning to end. Some of the earlier and later albums don’t tell a story, but Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall are one long story that take you in a full circle where you end up where you started...the individual songs don’t necessarily stand on their own. If you listen to Comfortably Numb in context it makes the lyrics much more meaningful. 2. Share this with YOUR children. A friend of mine once said “you know you’ve raised your children right when you find Pink Floyd on their iPod.” Maybe a bit dated, but true nevertheless. Loved your reaction, and immediately mashed the Subscribe.

This is one of their best songs, and the BEST to see live
First time I played this song in the car with my mom, she forgot we were in a 35 mph zone and got a speeding ticket. We picked on her forever. Lol!
_"the mix of this was just sooo good"_ And that's how music was made way back in the 70's. You should do their _'Time'_ next for your rabbit hole.
This WAS the soundtrack to my life from about age 17 (and my ex-fiancee and highschool sweetheart, who has since moved on). As a result, I was able to avoid the 'numb' stage (ironically, by never getting too comfortable!).
Listen to “Great Gig in the Sky” by Pink Floyd, truly a powerful song that is like nothing you have ever heard!
Love you dad!! He's a legend!! My mum inflicted opera on us, were were musically abused in the car, but at least could listen to stuff like this in our room. Have loved them since I was 14.
Great reaction, man! Pink Floyd stunned me when I first heard them ( as you seemed to be), and their songs still give me chills, even after listening them for 40 yrs. Perhaps my sustained awe of them is because I first heard this album after dropping 2 hits of liquid acid (pure LSD-25); and I think this music was forever burned into my psychic DNA.
Absolutely adored your story about your Dad. One tip I'll give about Pink Floyd, always do live. The Pulse live version of this is sublime.
This song got me through a difficult labour and birth of my son and I nearly died. Kept singing this to myself, waiting for the pain to go. It means a lot to me and I want it at my funeral.
This was a double album it was so big. I wore out the vinyl three times and the cassettes at least 5 times. Day I got my first bass guitar when I was 13 I went home, locked myself away for a week and learned every song on the album
You’ve stepped into the rabbit hole. Welcome to the journey that is called Pink Floyd. You may or may not return but enjoy it.

Welcome to Pink Floyd. When you listen to Dark Side of the Moon, listen from start to finish. In a dimly lit room. With amazing headphones. It's the only way.
Love the reaction, thanks man. Trouble is "The Wall" album, which this was from, is a true concept album - it's difficult to react to a single song in isolation. The album tells the story of a rock star from childhood - this song is about a doctor administering drugs to him to get him up and able to perform on the night of a gig, so there are two voices in the song, David Gilmour as the rock star and Roger Waters as the doctor. As for the guitar solos, my favourite saying about them is "Leo Fender created the Stratocaster and God created David Gilmour to play it" - Davi is truly on of the greatest players ever to pick up guitar.
“SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND PARTS 1-5 AND PARTS 6-9” YOU CAN THANK ME LATER
Love the reaction, that song touched you just like it is supposed to. I have to tell you the best way to listen to Floyd is to listen to the entire album start to finish if you really want to go on that journey. "Dark Side of the Moon" = life and death a must listen in it's entirety. "Wish You Were Here" = The story of one of the founding members Sid Barrett (youtube video on that subject), The Wall = Roger Water story growing up in England during WWll, "Animals" = political turmoil between the classes (think Animal Farm). If you really want to get into them go back to their "Meddle" or "Ummagumma" albums or even earlier stuff "Atom Heart Mother", "Pipers at the Gate of Dawn" and the video "Live at Pompeii. Once known as the "Tea Set" after getting ready to do a show there found out another band had that name. Sid Barrett was into the old blues and two men in particular, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, hence the name Pink Floyd!! Enjoy them I know I have. I prescribe the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album. Oh, you may wanna keep tissues around for "Great Gig in the Sky" - her name is Clare Torry!

I just found your review of “Comfortably Numb”. You couldn’t have picked a better song to honor your father with. As a 51 year old white, who grew up in a small town with a 50/50 mix. I can relate to your dad’s comments “We’re black” didn’t think y’all would enjoy his “well rounded” love of music. I can relate, being exposed to the likes of Ray, Ottis, Barry, Aretha, Kool and the Gand, Smoky (Dear heaven’s what a voice!) not to mention my personal favorite, Lionel, before and after the Commodores!! Still the greatest voice, my opinion ever!! This would have NEVER happened had I grown up somewhere else. Cable TV, psst! We got two channels on the rabbit ears and large antenna, three if the wind blew in the right direction. Nonetheless, it was all about the music. The artist I grew up on were troubadours! For me it’s more universal then math! I’m a huge Metallic fan. They wrote a lot of songs with lyrics that speak to me after 5 tours in the Korengal Valley and 4 in Iraq. Anyway, most of Pink Floyd’s music and lyrics surround the serious mental issue from PTSD, Roger’s father suffered from after fighting in WW II. However, here’s the actual story behind “Comfortably Numb”. The lyrics were inspired by Waters's experience of being injected with tranquillisers for stomach cramps before a Pink Floyd show in Philadelphia on the 1977 In the Flesh Tour. "That was the longest two hours of my life," Waters said, "trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm." The song had the working title "The Doctor". Hey, I dig your wife’s reviews as well!! If you can do one for me, for the brothers I lost. One of those was my twin brother Nicholas and misfortune of seeing it happen during a fire fight and that feeling of helplessness once I was able get to him. I would be honored if you would review “Brothers In Arms” by Dire Straits, which is actually the title of the album. For all our brothers and sisters who paid that ultimate sacrifice!
I saw The Floyd on their Pulse in 94 An experience I’ll never forget
I can't tell you how much fun it is watching you go through what I did all those years ago. Floyd is an unstoppable force if you love music
"This is the first time we're reacting to Pink Floyd" Wait... What?!

You do realize how segregated music radio was in America back in the 80's right? This wasn't a big hit either at the time.
oh boy, welcome to this god send of a wormhole! also for the love of god, react to Hey You by them, its another gem off the same album too
Pink Floyd isn't just music. It's an experience. A soundscape. BTW, they also loved blues and in fact the name Pink Floyd comes from combining 2 of their favorite blues guitarists Pink Anderson and Floyd Counsil
Words cannot express where this music takes you. They just cannot. It’s like a place we were before we were born. I always think of my daughter passing from a heroin overdose on 2/2/18 and thinking did she realize what was happening, was she comfortable ,,,did she suffer or just go to sleep. I love you my baby girl. I love you so deeply and I wonder what you are doing each and every day, moment. Mommy loves the baby.
While the pulse concert is amazing, I believe a first reaction should be the album version. It sets the perfect benchmark for the experience, then when you watch it live you can notice the differences and embellishments. Plus, the visuals are stunning.
I’m Black! 55 and a fan since I was 12 - welcome onboard 🌈
I hear what all the Pink Floyd Fanatics are saying about having to listen to the whole album to get the concept. But I'm also a that generation and I'm here to tell you it's better to hear one Pink Floyd song in your life than never to hear any at all.
Brother, you gained respect when you didn't paused the song in between like others just to utter few words other then FLOYD!! Floyd is how the outer space can possibly be!!
Your dad is the man! No cap
So cool that it starts with the last 30 seconds of BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME.
Listening to individual Pink Floyd songs is entertaining. Listening to Pink Floyd albums is an experience. Listening to one song here and there is like looking around a dark room with a small flashlight. You must listen to complete albums for full illumination.
Most genuine reaction I've seen in a longtime..you have a great journey ahead discovering their music. I did in the early 90s as a teenager and haven't looked by since
You gotta listen to Shine on you crazy diamond parts 1 to 9. One of the best songs ever made imo.
GREAT HERE, DAVID GILMOUR IS THE MASTER OF SPACE AND TIME, I WAS FORTUNATE TO SEE THEM PERFORM THIS ALBUM WHEN IT CAME OUT, YOUR DAD KNOWS HIS MUSIC BRO, KEEP ON ROCKIN, T , COUSIN FIGEL
Your Dad has it together.. I was 20 yrs old and in the US Army when I first had my mind opened.. Now check out the whole album your now part of the Pink Floyd Army.. Let your brain take you away.. I'm 68 now and it doesn't get any better than P-I-N-K F-L-O-Y-D today..
Good evening. I've just subscribed to your channel because my 12 yearold son found you and I love you guys. I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 10. 1985. Your dad is right, if you get the chance listen to the whole album with Comfortably Numb. Your dad is funny! Love your show and ya'lls reviews. Thank you..

When I watched it it made an AMAZING impact on me and I wasn't stoned. Pretty sure I wasn't even buzzed on the occasion either. It was at a friend's house, his parents at work, we started the movie during the lunch break from school and just skipped the rest of the day after watching it. Absolutely NOTHING that I would have learned that afternoon would have had more impact thank that movie !

Surely, right up there with the all time greatest rock songs. Pink Floyd have a few that rank right up there.
One of the best songs ever recorded by one of the best bands ever to record music. Glad you enjoyed it buddy ❤️👍
So did Dear Ol' Dad Partake of the LSD n' shrooms, too? My Pop's was all into Country and Bluegrass... He did the shrooms and homemade wine. He was a trip. Here's to your Dad. Sounds like a great man. Peace! Cheers!
See your Dad was cooler than you thought, good reaction do your wife a big favor now that you reacted to Comfortable Numb, Do Comfortably Numb live at Pulse 1991 with your wife, Pink Floyd is a journey and the journey is life changing, I compare Tool as the next generation Pink Floyd I know you’ve reacted to Tool .Next song( they have no bad ones in my opinion The Great Gig in the Sky and please share this journey with your wife, I will be enjoying watching your journey 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
1973 Dark Side of the Moon 1975 Wish You Were Here 1977 Animals 1979 The Wall An incredible run of ridiculous talent making ridiculously creative and ridiculously enjoyable music.
I heard this album the year it came out when in high school. Already a PF fan, my friends and I poured over this album and its jacket from cover to cover. The jackets were our google at the time with all of the details of the albums, production notes, photos, lyrics and artwork. Something I miss now that it’s all digital. This was a masterpiece album and we revered it. Many days spent after school laying around and absorbing this work of art.
You're going to start a nice journey. Enjoy.
Awesome reaction to a classic song. I think you should try the song "Time" next. It also brings you into a nostalgic way . Floyd is unique in that, they deal with very serious issues, and they smack you right in the face with them, but they surround these issues with these beautifully melodic and transcending sounds that comfort your mind and let you know it's gonna be okay. A talent that is very unique to Pink Floyd. Looking forward to going on this journey with you and reliving this amazing and transformative, life changing music. Sounds like your dad is just like the rest of us old codgers.
Pulse live version, you can see them live, and it's even more amazing, never heard anyone say, "I'm glad that's over" before when they heard this....lol...a true 'reaction'.
'The Wall' Great Pink Floyd Movie, it'll will definitely take you on a ride you'll never ever forget 👊✌️
Gotta get some good headphones and listen to "Dark side of the Moon" in it's entirety sometime. The engineering is meticulous and you hear so much more with good headphones. Your pops knows what's up!
Great reaction ! you should listen to the entire album The dark side of the moon! You won't regret it!!! Bye from Italy!
You need to hear the entire album.....!!!! Pink Floyd ~ The Division Bell, is also absolutely amazing...! Hat's off to you old man..... he knew what's up.
The first time I heard Pink Floyd was on MTV in the late 80s. It was the music video for Comfortably Numb, which had the band playing live with their light show going on through thick clouds of smoke. This song still gives me the chills when I hear it. I loved watching your reaction, hearing it for the first time.
