There is nothing to dislike about a young mans journey with Pink Floyd ! Love this!! Keep it going!!

Know what? This album is part of your life now. You might not listen to this again for years, but one day you will and the emotions will flow back through you with interest. Pink Floyd's music has this eerie ability to bring emotions and thoughts up from the subconscious. These will be as different to each person as their fingerprints. For instance, I noticed you kept circling back to your education. My guess is that it not only consumes a lot of your time, but, more significantly, it has been weighing on your mind. Only you can answer what the nature of that is, but it is a clue that maybe something needs to be resolved. Great reaction! Looking forward to side B!

Thank You and this album is a masterpiece even if I won’t listen to the album for years since I run my playlist on shuffle Everytime I hear a song from the album I will always think of this first time hearing a album I really like will always be memorable especially at a young age. And wow u really pay attention to detail cuz that’s exactly what it did to me and it has been weighing a lot on my mind it really made me think.

This is what all Pink Floyd reactions should be like. He's taking the album very seriously yet having fun doing it. Having the lyrics present makes all the difference as most reactors enjoy the music but the message is totally lost on many of them because they're either talking too much, pausing too much or too busy watching themselves on the camera. Well done lad and welcome to the rabbit hole.

This album is a masterpiecer from start to finish. But Time, Time always gets me. And every single year, it gets me more and more. One of the songs that I cannot just listen to casually, it hits you straight in the soul. Masterful writing.

Really the turning point of the entire album.

The vocalist for Great Gig in the Sky was Clare Torry, who was a session singer in her mid 20's at the time. She was given no direction but just told to improvise something to the backing track - and this is what she came up with on the just the second take! There's a really great interview with Clare in which she talks about it in a lovely down-to-earth way here kzread.info/dash/bejne/n32LmdqTg8_An7A.html

My 1st date with my wife was seeing Pink Floyd. There’s sooo much more. Enjoy the rabbit hole! Great reactions editing 💪🏻

The look on your face mate for the first verse of Time was a picture lol this song does this with everyone first time especially. The penny drops, some of the best lyrics ever written

Every time you revisit the album as a whole it will feel different. The older you get the more it will resonate. Loving your videos.

Clare Torry was hired by the band to sing vocals on "Great Gig in the Sky". She was given two instructions. She couldn't use any words, and was instructed to sing as if it would be her final performance. She was paid standard studio scale, I think around a couple hundred "pounds", and didn't even know it made the album until it came out.

@HEYitzED

Жыл бұрын

Thankfully she eventually got a songwriting credit for it.

Looking forward to side 2.

First take note that "Breathe" is continued with the third verse right after "Time". "Breathe (Reprise)" begins with, "Home, Home Again..." Also I like how in the latter half of "Time", the backing vocals become more prominent. It foreshadows Clare Torry's epic singing on "Great Gig." And Breathe Reprise has that religious undertone that segues so well into Great Gig.

When this album came out, it was an emotional experience. The album was unlike any other, a complete crescendo of messages leading to the final song which summed it all up in a way that left me drained. Watching you makes me feel like you are experiencing much of what I did and that is cool to see. You ability to empathize with things new to you is admirable.

You're tearing up because you are experiencing the genius that is "The Great Gig In The Sky" - Dark Side Of The Moon. I cry every time I listen to this album, which is quite often. And I'm 52 years old and heard this THOUSANDS OF TIMES!

Sooo, combine one of the most acclaimed profound lyricist in rock, with one of the most legendary guitarist of all time, and some of the most haunting innovative jazzy keys/synth you'll ever hear, topped off with vocals that range from velvety-smooth melancholy to heart-wrenching emotion, and a drum that gives it all the extra added drama and power it so richly deserves, and this is what you get... a one of a kind sound that defies all description. Pink Floyd is a journey not quite like anything else in popular music. You're doing it right by going with the full albums. All I can say is, buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Hi dear, i am one of those who watches all your kpop reactions and can I say this ? I AM MORE THAN HAPPY to see you react to Pink Floyd. , seeing you react to that album masterpiece means the world. It really makes my day, no joke. I am SO SO SO SO glad that you enjoyed that album and me too !! I could listen to it again (and its just half!!) the side 2 is also breathtaking you're not ready for that haha ! Pink Floyd knows how to swim through all the senses in the body. They open a light inside ourself we even didn't know it was there. You must react to the album: Whish you were here. On this album there is a song called ''Shine on you crazy diamond'' that has 9 parts separated in 2 in the album, (1-5 at the beginning and 6-9 at the end of the album) I spent hours doing puzzles (dont ask me why ahaha) only listening to that song. The whole album is fantastic (there is only 5 songs including the super famous one ''wish you were here'' its truely amazing, touching and full of emotion. You body needs that)

I've watched at least 50 pink floyd reaction videos at this point...and this is by far the best one. Have fun on your journey bro. Just sorry you'll never get to see them live. Subscribed

Great great great reaction dude. "Time" does start with wake-up alarms!!! Wake-up and start living. This entire album is a masterpiece made by musicians who had perfected their craft and were able to compress the heavy issues of life into a few lines of pure poetry. Think you can understand why so many Floyd fans wanted you to do the entire album. BTW your not alone, DSotM sold over 45,000,000 units and charted for somewhere aver 18 years! So as someone who grew up listening to Floyd in the 70's I would highly recommend you check out "Echoes - Live at Pompeii" where you can see the guys playing in an empty Roman Amphitheater with no audience. You see the kit used and exactly who's playing what and who's singing. DSotM is a journey, Echoes is mind blowing, so buckle up your seat Dorethy, Kansas is about to go bye bye! 😂😂😂

Isn't it great to see a younger generation finally understand us?

I enjoy watching reaction videos, but usually there's not much there -- people listen to or watch something and say, "Yeah that's cool." But you, sir, are an intelligent and insightful dude, and your reaction to this music is teaching me more about it -- and I've loved it since I first heard it in the late 70s. This really was a pleasure and a delight.

My take on some parts of Side 1, having heard it back when it came out: The scream excerpt at the beginning of Clare's later vocal on "Gig", is a mother giving birth to her child (hence also the heartbeat and "Speak to me"), which then becomes advice she offers to that child during "Breathe". Then when "Breathe Reprise" kicks in later, the child (now an adult) returns to its parental home, there are prayers for the mother in a church, but the mother passes away in "The Great Gig in the Sky".

LOL. I was around back then too. You're pretty close. Dark Side of the Moon was an entire unit in a college music class I had. The whole album is about various stages of life. It begins with a heartbeat fading in (birth) and ends with it fading out (death). Speak to Me/Breathe - Don't let people tell you how to live your life, but also be empathetic to how others live theirs. All the people talking are people answering the question On the Run - the hustle, bustle, and anxiety of everyday life (also a nod to Rick Wright's fear of flying). Time - how the way we look at the world when we are young affects us later. If you don't pay attention to what is important, you won't realize what you missed until its too late. Breathe (Reprise) - isolating yourself from the hazards of the world. Home is safe. Great Gig in the Sky - vocalizing the different stages of facing your own mortality (surprise, fear, anger,acceptance). Money - the absurdness of wealthy people who look down their noses at others. Us and Them - the dichotomy of life and relationships. Yin and Yang. The talking in the middle are different people describing differences in opinion ("I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion" "Good manners don't cost nothing do they?" Any Color You Like - How we are made to believe we have free will and free choice, but really, we don't. Brain Damage - How success can screw a person up mentally. "And if the band your in starts playing a different tune" A homage to Syd Barrett's mental breakdown. Eclipse - From the man who wrote it, "I think it's a very simple statement saying that all the good things life can offer are there for us to grasp, but that the influence of some dark force in our natures prevents us from seizing them". The sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"I'm feeling everything right now". Yup, you get it my friend.

Probably the best reaction I’ve seen to this album. It hits your soul. I heard someone say you don’t listen to Pink Floyd. You experience them and that is the truth. Hundreds of years from now people will still listen to this album like they do Bach and Mozart

Priceless reaction to "...you missed the starting gun"

Haven’t watched yet, but based on the comments I am looking forward to it! Thanks for this one!

Really enjoyed your reaction. Best of luck in your college endeavors. There are 2 classes I took in college outside of my major that I really benefitted from : Rhetoric - Teaches you the art of persuasion Judo/Karate - Teaches you mind and body control There's a lyric early in the album that I'd recommend paying attention to : "Look around, choose your own ground."

You are awesome. I love all your Pink Floyd reactions. It's great to see the timeless effect this has. A rite of passage the boomers, gen x, and millennials experienced and gen z are experiencing now. Btw, keep up those philosophy courses.

What an incredible assessment of time. I’m a little jealous you made this connection at such a young age. At 46, I’m a little mad at myself I’ve known this song for almost 40 years and never made it relative. Nice work, son❤️

First time i listened to this was on LSD and it was incredible. its incredible while sober, but when i was blasting tf off, it was just another level. The way it made me feel was just indescribable

Pink Floyd: the music that keeps giving to generation and generation.

I can respect the fact that you looked up the lyrics first. Thats cool man. Love the video!

You don't listen to Pink Floyd...you EXPERIENCE them!

Welcome to the Floyd family son,its a long journey.enjoy it.great reaction

Love your reaction when the penny drops that time can run away and leave you behind. You’re young and, like us all when we were that age, you will feel that life stretches so far ahead that you have loads of time to do what you want to do (or even think about what you want to do). Those of us at the other end of the life cycle can only look back and assess/enjoy/regret what we did with the time that was available to us. It’s your time now, don’t miss your starting gun. Make the most of every minute and chase your dreams.

Hi, Jony. It's amazing how you absorb the music and try to penetrate into the meaning of the lyrics as well. You are one smart cookie. Enjoying your reactions immensely. This is the music of my generation, had been created long before your were born, but you dig it as well. See how music creates bridges between races, cultures and generations. Looking forward to watching more of your reactions to other wonderful albums of my time. God bless you!

Life can be divided in before Pink Floyd and after Pink Floyd,

Your budding experience of Pink Floyd is a joy to watch! :-)

When you hear Pink Floyd for the first time, and the lyrics sink in goosebumps are unavoidable. Along with closing your eyes to just enjoying the experience.

I'm impressed with you're insight. Your a very smart kid. It is such a pleasant surprise to see someone dig into deep lyrics the way you do. There is a mountain of expression in this (as most) Pink Floyd albums). IMO, they don't try to impose any set agenda on you, its more the experience gets you to think about things you don't normally think about. Things that, typically, deserve more attention then we give them. Like, in this case, things that we struggle with or things that in some other way influence our lives: 1) Purpose, 2) Business, 3) Time, 4) Death, 5) Money, 6) Racial Tension and 7) Madness And of course, Pink Floyd does it all in such a beautifully artistic way (I often call "ear candy"). Music, I feel, if done right, is the closest we can ever get to a direct soul to soul exchange of ideas and emotion. (example, Great Gig in the Sky. No words needed yet you can feel all the emotions being expressed. BTW, I believe that song was a true outpouring of the spirit. Clare Torry was not associated with the band at all. The band brought in many singers and finally "stumbled" upon Clare Torry who produced that cut in "ONE TAKE". Check out the 5 minute video about the recording of that song: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIuOltumf9nMnLA.html

A very intelligent and mature reaction, stick with school, try your hardest, it wont be long before you realise that school was the time you needed to be your best, after that it's all easy.

I just found you and I so wish my son would listen to this. He is into underground hip hop in California. I'm so glad that this makes such an impression on you.

Sure it may have meant something very specific to the writer but you should hold on to what it meant to you. It's great that you realize you never know where opportunities may await you.

Best pink floyd reaction ive ever seen...and ive seen tons

"Time" is my all-time favorite reactions to watch. When the lyrics "... and then one day you find ten years have got behind you; no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" come on, watching the face as the realization of how fleeting time is sets in is priceless. And then the guitar-solo goosebumps kick in. "Great Gig in the Sky" reactions are a close second.

I stumbled upon this reaction and want to say it was exquisite. Most reactions to DSotM are from older people (like me at 61) and we look back. Here, you look forward. You too, will look back at this album in 40 years when it means something totally different. Every listen has you pondering the lyrics as you are this whole time. I could not be prouder of our youth when I look and listen to you. _Think_ and you will never go wrong. What a joy you are, dear one.

Love your interpretation. Your wisdom precedes your youth.

I have loved s album since it was new. I still remember where I was and what I was doing the moment I heard it. I’m 58 now and still his is top of the list for me. I loved seeing you becoming emotional. It is nice to see that music like this can be timeless and still appreciated by another generation. You are a nice yon man keep dong these videos.

i'm talking years of watching reactions.. i like what you are doing.. maybe the most

I was 15 when this album came out.. Hard to believe that was 48 years ago, at least for me.. A true classic!

This album is the most universally profound and relative going through the different commonalities we face with the human condition. There's a reason this album holds the world record for longest time an album has been in the Billboard top 200 album sales chart, 950 weeks (just over 18 years) ...because of its universality. Greatest album of all time, I say. Pink Floyd: kings of the concept album.

You have nothing ahead of you but potential and success. There is nothing that can hold you back. You are a 1st degree THINKER! Go conquer the world, you deserve it. Well played. Good God I wish there were a few million more of you.

I just came across your reaction videos now. I hope your journey through life has progressed well since you made these videos. I just wanted to give my thoughts on the song Time. I'm always interested to seeing how someone who actually listens to the song reacts to it, and your reaction was perfect. I bellieve The Floyd wanted to deliver the message that you have to wake up and realize that life is passing you by (hence all the alarms clocks at the beginning). But to me it's also a message to us telling us that it's NEVER too late to start living your life! I'm 56 years old and I'm disabled. But I do my best to enjoy my life as best as I can. Last month my girlfriend took me to Vegas and we had lunch in a 5 star restaurant. It's never too late to embrace your life. That's what Pink Floyd wanted you to know.

You MUST watch Live At Pompeii. Essential for anyone's journey down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole.

Saw Pink Floyd in 1973 premier this album live! Blew me away, best concert I’ve ever been too and I’ve been to many concerts!

HOLY MOLY! My life was changed by this album when I was 18. What a gift!

Great watching your reaction. It reminded me of when the album came out and I used to listen to it on cassette tape in my volkswagon as a teenager. It hit me the same way it hit you and the only difference is you're 19 and I'm now 61. I understand Time more now.
