Finally, some love and respect for the Division Bell. I don't care what anyone says, I love this album. And that guitar solo might be my favorite out of any Pink Floyd song.

That album will always have a special place in my heart. It was my gateway to classic Floyd and 'Coming Back to Life' is the reason I picked up guitar. It may not have the sardonic wit nor existential depth of Waters era Floyd, but I think its sounds absolutely amazing and there are some classic tracks. The only song on it I don't really listen to is 'What Do You Want From Me'. I'm not quite sure why.

High Hopes is a journey into reminiscing about your past where things seemed better, brighter and more exciting, where everything and anything was possible. This song always takes me back to my childhood, friends long departed and the freedom of youth. Can’t listen to it without getting misty-eyed. Simply beautiful.

It looks forward to the dreamy world that children think will be better but then....... It also reflects back to when everything was better, but we as children didn't know it, until time took all our dreams away.

Pink Floyd is always a journey. It takes you somewhere you can't imagine.

A song about the retrospect between childhood and adulthood. It's just an absolute masterclass of musicianship and art.

Always here to the end. I wouldn't miss a second of your reactions. It does my heart good to see the younger generation enjoying this music as much as us old farts do.

The live performance of High Hopes at Pompeii 2016 will squeeze your brain into a Zen State and leave you entranced at their musical skills. Great Reaction.

Dave’s slide at the end of the Pulse version throws my soul clean out of my body… that’s a fact

This is the song I listened to after my father's funeral at 16. Nothing hits that note of lamenting the road that was missed and lost quite like this song. The horizon never crossed. Yet, it has a spark of hope in it. A possibility of triumph somewhere down the line if we look for it.

You can never listen to enough Pink Floyd…never!

This song is about childhood , and how everything was nice and innocent. and old friends.

Mark, I'm not big on watching KZread videos or music reactors, but it's such a treat when one of yours drops about a song or band that's been a part of my life growing up. Your unfiltered emotions and commentary are so rare to find, and help me feel like I'm not just becoming a grumpy old(ish) man for feeling like so much of present day popular music is devoid of meaning, talent, or any 'timeless quality' that will make it still relevant decades later. Gratifying to see some from other generations can still be moved by the music of my youth, as I have been. Also great to see the rapidly growing success of your channel! Keep up the awesome journey.

The last two lines of the song "The endless river, forever and ever" are a reference to See Emily Play, one of Pink Floyd's earliest songs, under Syd Barrett. That'd be a great song for react to, both as a taste of early Pink Floyd, and as an introduction to 1960's psychedelic rock.

Sooo happy that you did this, thank you! ❤️ I agree, this song is like a painting, an utterly beautiful one. If you decide to also check out the live version (from Pulse), you'll be rewarded with some exquisite visuals to go with it. Your comment about prison and freedom makes sense - every listener will have their own interpretation, but I think it's about the freedom of childhood and having high hopes about the future, but then, when growing up, nothing turned out the way you hoped. Your dreams are quashed by the "prison" of adulthood, so you long back to younger and freer times.

Pink Floyd connects your ears directly to your soul.

I've landed on planet Floyd and I don't want to take off.

LOVE this song!!!!!! So glad you did it!!

You just recreated the reaction I had when I heard “High Hopes” for the first time. It is great to see someone react with such happiness and excitement. That made my day! Thanks for continuing to review the Pink Floyd catalog!

Ill take part of the blame but to be honest i dont care who you react to its all great music and the energy you bring is so much fun i look forward to hanging out with you for the few minutes a day we get it helps keep me positive dont ever change or do its up to you im here for the ride regardless..... CNE Grand Stands Toronto Canada still have the ticket to the division bell tour concert in my wallet wont ever forget seeing Pink Floyd live

Here we go! Pink Floyd! 💜💜💜 HAPPY🤗🤗🤗 You caught the vibe/ journey, I'm so happy for you😊😊😊 Always here to the end!

One cannot imagine how one band can produce so much greatness. So many unique songs, sounds, experiences. Staggering. Imagine here we are decades later still loving it.

There’s a live version of High Hopes from the 1994 Pulse Concert. It has an extended solo at the end. It’s outstanding. We’ll worth reacting to.

I read Ken Follet while listening to Pink Floyd. It just fits. Hector, you get it man. Pink Floyd is not to be taken lightly. Take the dive and go to your castle…close the curtains, and settle in for a magical journey. I’m 66 yrs. young and still discovering their genius. Peace brother!

What a great reaction to one of the most emotional songs ever put to vinyl. If you watch the official video (or the Pulse version), you will see that this is a retrospective of their career as a band (with a heartfelt final tribute to Syd Barrett) - a perfect closing track to their final full studio album (with Rick Wright - RIP). The actual last one - The Endless River - was all material written for the Division Bell, without lyrics. The only song written for that album is the final, title track. David Gilmour wrote the music, and his wife (Polly Samson) wrote the lyrics - and he absolutely kills the outro solo (lap steel guitar).

I've already listened to this song today, but I'll go ahead and listen to it again! Twist my arm!

Yesssss , pink Floyd back🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well played, Mark 👏👏 Love the lyric “looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us”…..how beautifully devastating a way to describe burning bridges of former relationships. I’d still recommend doing the PULSE Live version, along with One Of These Days and Great Gig (both PULSE Live) for the incredible trio of glorious slide guitar genius 👍 Also; love the lyric “Where the speechless unite in a silent accord” from On The Turning Away Congrats on breaking 33k followers I believe the picture shown was meant to represent the [at the time] current Floyd members - the two faces looking at each other, creating the 3rd, as a whole 👍

Some people just don't get Pink Floyd, which is really sad. And many people didn't appreciate this album. Of course DSOTM and the Wall were better albums, but this is also a very good album. Also, I totally enjoy the enthusiasm you have for my all time favorite band. Keep doing what you do, and don't listen to negative people. They don't deserve your attention.

Squeeze...you gotta see the Pulse concert of this man. The visuals are great of course, but they just sound so good live. You'll be tickled by David's slide guitar solo at the end, watching him play it is way cool. Love ya man!!

British music is great. If I were English, I would create a place in my house to worship Pink Floyd. I like Radiohead, but Pink Floyd is a pioneer and a legend.

Mark, you make me smile, laugh and enjoy music in a whole other level. Love this song, goosies all over!!

Probably my favourite song ever.

You don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you feel them.

This has always been my favorite track, but it became everything during my father's illness and subsequent passing. It brings me all the tragic and beautiful feelings of letting someone you love go. Thank you - subscribed.

You nailed it. It is the emotional connection to their music that connects to our inner self. I predict you will enjoy this music for the rest of your life.✨

Hi Mark! So happy that you’ve returned to Pink Floyd! Everything I wanted and more. Looking forward to the next one. -Brent

Love that "what? we in Mexico" lol. Thanks for doing one of my fav Pink Floyd songs

Been waiting on this one!

Brilliant! Glad you got around to this one.

It's interesting that you spoke about having the right frame of mind to listen to Floyd properly. This is sorta what we Floyd-i-acs have been bitching about all along: the album has a theme and tells a story. It can totally melt your mind...if you go in with the right mindset. Hearing one track at a time is ok, but I fear you're missing out on the grand vision. Cheers, Mate.

Well put. I love the reactions and don't want/expect him to change. However, he's barely scratched The Wall, and I'm desperately hoping he'll make an exception and react to the album. It's truly a movie for the mind, and listening to it piecemeal is like reading random chapters from a book. You can get the flavor, but you'll never understand the story. .... But maybe he just can't handle it? (poking the bear) ;)

Hey Mark; knowing your background of science and helping people, it would help to read the lyrics of their songs when you have time. Your assessment of the music is spot on; reading the lyrics will just bring it all together. Pink Floyds music is a journal of everyones experience in the world but is based on their own journey through life. It is deep and philosophical but relatable. Music for the mind and soul.

I am SO F__KING HAPPY! 👍👍✌✌

Pink Floyd !

Ignore the haters, if you don't let Pink Floyd take you on a Journey you don't get it. There is Music, then there is Floyd on another level.

Pink Floyd on Squeeze! So Very Happy!

The song is driven by nostalgia and irony. He is remembering the days of childhood (the grass was greener, the taste was sweeter), meeting up with his friends….the “nights of wonder”. But ambition drove them all in different ways (The ringing of the division bell had begun) they all burned bridges behind them. He’s nostalgic, yearning for those innocent days of childhood…….but still driven forward ……….The endless River…….Mark, you are SO into the lyrics of rap, but the lyrics of Floyd are equally important. Might I suggest that after absorbing the emotional impact of the music, stop the recording process and take time to read the lyrics and then come back and tell us what they mean to you.

PLEASE ado the Pulse version!! It will blow your mind!!!

Great reaction Hector. I'd recommend the Live in Pompeii High Hopes version filmed in 2017. David Gilmore goes back to Pompeii, but this time he plays for an audience. I believe it to be better than the Pulse version because not only did he make it back to Pompeii at 70 years of age but the ending of the song is so eloquent with his flamenco style guitar playing that was not a part of the Pulse version.

"I'd stand but I'm not wearing any bottoms". The question burning on everyone's mind has now been answered.

Another great reaction Hector! Love that you are able to appreciate everything about Pink Floyd that us older generations have had the pleasure of listening to for 50+ years! There is no better band IMO. Not only are they masters at their music but every song has something meaningful to say. They make you think and wonder about so many different things. The amount of talent these guys had and have is insane! True genius on every level when comes to music. I've seen them live many times, along with many, many other bands over the years and none has ever compared. Not that the other concerts were bad in any way, they were great too, but Pink Floyd was just their own genre or class. Always came away with minds blown by the music and talent of this band!

" Like a painting " " Imagery In My Head " After those words ... your initiation is complete . Welcome to the rabbit hole You will never leave 🙂 .

Everything you said about Pink Floyd needing to be listened to in a certain way is correct. For you young un's it seems a plan might be needed. Well, in the old days, with the turn table and a record, we used to listen just like that - maybe in a beanbag chair or laying on the bed. You'd stare at the album cover and sleeve notes looking at the art, the photos, the words. Think about them. Maybe you'd close your eyes. or maybe sort of stare and lose focus and let your mind wander. This is when the pictures or thoughts or memories come. Today's way of listening to music having the video tell you how to interpret it, focusing on the words rather than the music, is not conducive to the old way old listening. The majority of songs from my past that I love, I sometimes have no idea what the words are or or even what the songs are about, it was first and foremost about the sound and the music taking you somewhere.

One of my favourite PF tracks, harmonies are just amazing. Love it.

I'm happy. 😆

YES YES YES!!! Patience is a virtue!!!

One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs 🔥🤘😎

Pink Floyd's best song.

Just an FYI - Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon just on Billboard top 100 for 950 weeks.

Not only is Gilmour a helluva guitarist he's also a brilliant lap steel player

Just keep enjoying great music, and let it affect you in your own way my friend.

I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd for 50 years, and every time I listen to a cut, I miss not hearing them since the last time. That’s why no one will ever top their music, and I love tons of other bands... just not as much as Pink Floyd !! Cheers !!!

I moved to the USA, from England, when i was 10. By the time i got to high school, i was lost. Trying to adapt to a new culture, trying to "fit in". Pink floyd entered my life and instantly, i was close to whole again. Thank you Pink Floyd for mending my soul.
