First Time Reaction to Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

[@briangee100]

Your understanding and your words ❤

[@trespire]

Him suggest listening to this album as a complete piece from start to end. Most reactors brake it down to a part 1 and a part 2.

[@robsanz9746]

So Happy for you that you know this song, I'm so glad you read the lyrics before. Beautiful lyrics by the Great Roger Waters. 💚

[@LivWonce]

The lo-fi intro (where the lows and highs are cut out) is like an old radio reminding us of yesteryear; our old friends, loves, and relatives that we love and miss.

[@tarheelraj]

Pink Floyd is just at a different level. There is nobody else like them.

[@tazgecko]

My childhood ... sitting back after a day down the beach, playing Pink Floyd in our cars with the sun going down. There's nobody like them.

[@arnoldcox9128]

I completely 100% agree

[@dizzle7558]

One of one for sure💯

[@kardy12]

True, though you can say the same thing about a lot of old greats. There’s nobody else like Pink Floyd, or Led Zeppelin, or Rammstein for that matter. There are genre defining bands that just stand out on a different level. And Pink Floyd is certainly one of them.

[@insideout277]

Agree.. ore nothing like “ Dead can dance” and “ Coil”. What’s good about them, they trying to do they’re own thing and not copy the music style based on the previous album. Music becomes deep.

[@MartinMcMartin]

Pink Floyd is not music you hear it's music you feel.

[@FloydGirl51]

AMEN!!!

[@rayflynn7942]

you listen to music but you experience Pink Floyd

[@redeagle2793]

When I listen to Floyd my heart rate drops 5 beats per minute ♥

[@GLMracing]

exactly, David's talent is beyond music, it's absorbing, it finds it's way inside of you

[@yelnek4548]

"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year" is one of the greatest lines ever!

[@BisscuteReacts]

❤️

[@hannegem]

@@BisscuteReacts Try their Cirrus Minor from album More. And if you are interested you may watch the same title, as the album, movie from ‘68. In that movie is used the early Pink Floyd.

[@pop9095]

I would point out "Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for the lead role in a cage?" as fairly heavy as well. Song is, I think we can agree, full of fairly meaningful ideas.

[@abhicricket]

I love this song so much and this is my favourite line from any song ever.

[@nigelpluck3342]

It is a fine song, both sad and hopeful, and the awareness of a given situation is right there in the lyrics. And that line, “How I wish, how I wish you were here”, has a strong, underlying feeling of loneliness rooted in missing someone very close and very special

[@deejayturtle]

The very lyric you mention, @Bisscute... the fish bowl line, this was my fathers fave line of this song. This song helped him get through his divorce with my mom. They fought a lot so it was shocking when a few weeks before their 20th anniversary she handed him divorce papers and moved out. "Were just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl... year after year. Running over the same old ground, that's how we found, the same old fears... wish you were here." They fought a lot but there was nothing he wouldn't do for her when it came down to it. She was his everything, when those same old fears would rear their heads, he n she would get through it together... now he is all alone. This song helped him deal with his pain. Behind me hangs the framed poster of the artwork that's on the screen for this video. That poster belonged to my dad, he passed 12 years ago. This song always reminds me of him.

[@nashkita77]

Not 100% sure.. Thought i recall an interview with David basically saying the same kinda thing. Relationship wise. Both there physically but the love was gone. "Lost souls in a fish bowl." Wish you were here - emotionally, not so much physically. People think the song is about Sid, but not originally.. i guess later they tie him to this song.

[@ragtie6177]

We are all better humans for reading your words and getting a glimpse of your father. Thank you...

[@deejayturtle]

@@ragtie6177 You are to kind, thank you.

[@davidl6757]

Always think differently about that line as I age from 20 to 65. Never heard anything better. Like your thoughts as well :)

[@davidl6757]

Everyone sighs and can’t describe why:)

[@Uberstauffer]

This will always be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[@goldenruletv7301]

I will just say Pink Floyd is an experience that all humans should enjoy. Some of the best music ever created, period.

[@JR_Writer]

Hi dearrrrling! Thanks forrrr the rrrreaction ♥ grrrrreetings frrrom Colombia 😉

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND is also on this album. I think it has 9 parts, 5 at the beginning of the album and the rest at the end of the album. It's an incredible work of art and is also about former bandmate Syd Barrett. If you're looking for another awesome ride like this, play the whole thing. It's much longer and will satisfy your soul. ✌🏼

[@lubos1207]

Amen! I totally agree with that. I think it's the best song Pink Floyd ever recorded. Listen to it in the original studio version (it's a bit longer than they play it in concert) - it's worth it and will shoot you into another dimension...

[@RaffaPed]

Led Zeppelin were incredible, The Beatles immense, but Pink Floyd...well, they just touch my soul.

[@katapult9999]

There is "Music" and there is "Pink Floyd". They brings you somewhere out of your body! Pink Floyd made me fly for the last 55 years and I've been bless for that!

[@redrum482]

Great reaction! The souls in the fishbowl is for the listener to interpret. My headphones are blasting. lol

[@rabudman]

Written about the band's old founding member, Syd Barret, whom they'd lost to mental illness years before. "Wish You Were Here". The band hadn't seen him in years. As they worked on this song in the studio, Syd wandered into the studio off the street and without saying a word just sat down on the floor while they recorded.

[@joewilson5776]

Too beautiful and too short.. Just like this thing we call life.

[@BisscuteReacts]

❤️

[@timhartnett7576]

I have a “friend” that tells me you should listen to it with a buss to really appreciate it.

[@travisbeckner6849]

"Have a Cigar" is another great song off of this same album

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Division Bell has some amazing music as well as this. love this.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Glad you liked this ❤️

[@mikedrinan5223]

Just came across your channel, and what a pleasure it is to hear your interpretation of what I consider Pink Floyd’s best album, Wish You Were Here is an emotional happy/sad song, full of such depth. Your reactions were so real and vivid, plus I love the way you speak like a cat purring.

[@johnlooney2319]

When I was a kid it was smoke a joint and get lost in some Floyd. Miss those teenage times.

[@johnandrews5414]

Bisscute is just at a different level. There is nobody else like her.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Awee thats sweet, thank you ❤️

[@rogerfroud300]

This is about the loss of cherished original band member Syd Barrett, how it feels to be in the Public eye, and much more. 'Living in a Goldfish Bowl' is an English phrase meaning that you're on show, like an exhibit, with nothing to protect you from a stranger's gaze.

[@twsieben]

I have requested this song to be played at my funeral. Family and friends know of this desire. Probably the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.

[@BisscuteReacts]

It is a beautiful song, glad you liked the reaction ❤

[@derwolf9670]

My dad took me to see Pink Floyd in Dortmund when I was around 9 or 10 years old. Their show and the lighting blew me away and is, to this day, the best I've ever seen. More of Pink Floyd, please

[@kevincarroll8952]

Imagine being in a stadium with 70,000 fans all singing along in PERFECT unison! I get chills every time I hear it and remember the concerts I got to see them live.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Crazy ❤

[@garthbigelow]

@Bisscute Enjoying going thru your reactions to the songs of my youth. Would love to hear Pink Floyd's One of my Turns. Preferably the original album version.

[@riverleigh3251]

This song can easily transcend into any of our lives as many do. As I understand Wish You Were Here along with Shine on You Crazy Diamond were written for or with Syd Barrett in mind. The original frontman of Pink Floyd, a truly gifted man, arguably the most gifted and inspirational of Pink Floyd, who sadly went into a downward spiral due to mental illness. The song I think laments the loss of their friend and times they once knew.

[@timbrawdy2249]

You need to do a WHOLE album reaction because each song on their albums flows so perfectly together.

[@peterliljeholmen5703]

The lyrics and the music of Pink Floyd intertwines and makes up emotional and mental drawings of the same class as paintings of Monet and Dali. The combined geniuses of the architect Waters and the artist/magician Gilmour, flanked by Mason and Wright, is just unparalleled and their tracks are timeless and will never rust.

[@johnalden5821]

It's a constant theme in Pink Floyd's work: people living with cramped souls, "in quiet desperation" because they don't or can't seize life's true potential. Limping through life trying to avoid pain and loss turns out to result in the worst pain and loss of a life not really lived. I think for these guys, this was the true nature of the blues as they experienced it growing up English. This theme is all over their lyrics. And it is deeply emotional. Who doesn't fear that they are leaving their best lives out there undiscovered because they are too scared to go out and live them?

[@davidolson8082]

Shine On You Crazy Diamond...

[@royleggitt3307]

Pink Floyd needs to be listened to Start to Finish on an album to truly be appreciated. Each song builds onto the next and each album has it's own meaning.

[@samuellord8576]

Thank you for such a beautiful and true reaction. Your willingness to share your feelings matches that of these great artists. I hope you can song on stage someday, you have the gift for it.

[@kelvinchilvers1322]

Your interpretation of the song, it's lyrics and meaning, spot on. Your reviews are awesome 🙂

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@vernhoke7730]

Back in high school, when this album came out, I worked part time on a woman's clothing store after school. The assistant manager was cool and behind the sales desk was a cabinet with a turntable in it. The store got albums from the record store in the mall. Working in the stockroom we could hear what was playing. Meg always had great tunes playing, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, the Stones, the Who, Bachman Turner Overdrive and all the great rock groups of that time period.

[@davidskelhorn9711]

This is about one of the founders of the band, Sid Barrett, who in the days of experimentation became the victim of too much LSD and lost his metal capacity. He could no longer perform and his personality changed radically, but the boys always took care of him, even though he could no longer perform but they "wished he could be here" as the band evolved.

[@dxb8086]

Not again this bullshit. The song is not about Syd! Waters stated several times what it is about. I don’t know em where you people get this nonsense all the time. It is not true!

[@Manuel-cn2ys]

Super se achicharro el cerebro 🧠

[@matthewnoden2396]

Bissute, how the song touches your heart, your soul, your head is the right interpretation. There's no right or wrong way to feel this art. That it connects, that it moves you is what matters. Luv your channel.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you for being here ️❤️

[@kelvin869]

I have always loved Pink Floyd and so many people do reactions to them; but I never understand how every one of them forget the song "High Hopes"' which in my opinion is probably the most poetic of all of their vast number of great songs.

[@coffeebreakcoaching]

Your thoughts and comments on the lyrics of this song and the songwriter's (a man) ability to express inner feelings and vulnerability in the song, which as you said men are not often able to do, is very insightful, and together with your facial expressions and emotions says it all - your reactions are amazing.

[@metalTbag]

I heard this song when I was 6, and even as a 6 year old this song made me cry. now I couldn't tell you why that was... but the older I got the more profound the meaning became. thank you for the reaction

[@dmgallibond469]

Pink Floyd was a very experimental band. The "original" band leader was Syd Barrett, a talented guitarist who was inspired to make psychedelic music that was unique to them. From their earliest albums they were playing around with mixing traditional instruments with environmental noise and "found sounds." That was something they kept doing all the way through their entire career (you can hear that at the beginning of this song as the sound of dialogue from a TV show or film is in the background, and then the static sound of music played on a radio begins before the clean acoustic guitar joins in). Unfortunately, Syd Barrett got addicted to some strong chemical psychedelic drugs, and it literally caused brain damage to the point that he was unable to function or continue with the band. David Gilmour was brought in to play guitar, and he is featured on almost all of their more famous albums that appeared after 1968 or so. I believe this particular song is one of many in the Pink Floyd catalog that is a kind of "love letter" from the band to Syd Barrett. All of the band members (including David Gilmour) recognized that without Syd there never would have been a Pink Floyd, and even if he didn't play or appear on the albums, his presence was always a sort of spiritual touchstone for the band. If you listen to every album starting with 1973's Dark Side of the Moon, there are almost always one or more songs on each one that seem like they call back to Syd as though the band is saying a musical, "we miss you, friend," to their former bandmate.

[@shannontaylor345]

Pink Floyd come from Cambridge UK. I used to see Syd Barrett riding around Cambridge on his bicycle. They influenced alot of todays bands with their music. One of my favourite bands i grew up listening to in the 70s and 80s

[@tomlayton6667]

Yep appreciate the ones you love. In the time you have With them.

[@chadkrueger7538]

It seems a lot of their songs deal with the human condition. The nail it every time, the feelings and emotions Pink Floyd bring out, they're simply the best.

[@RickMcnay]

It is cool that a young lady listens to pink Floyd there music is the best u are a cool young lady ❤

It was great growing up with this music. I saw them live in New York City in 1977 when I was 17!

[@phillipcement]

Wow, very insightful comments, very bright young woman.

[@raddofzennla]

My favorite Pink Floyd song.

[@pdcrmr]

Pink Floyd wrote the greatest country song of all time

[@itsVileTV]

Pink floyd and this song is what brought me and My best friend of 20 years together. So it's not always a negative. When I hear and listen to this I remember all the great times we had just cruising around in my old pick up truck, mudding, hunting, fishing, chasing women, being my best man in my wedding, being there during my divorce, being the God father to my kids. Helping bury and grieve my losses of family and friends. I consider him my brother and would take a bullet for that friend and to think this song and is what united us to begin with so many years ago. So when I hear it I can only smile and remember those days. The good ole days as us old people like to say. Hope you get to experience this with someone in your life biss. As always, Much love, Vile

Once again, your perspective has really made me absorb this song differently. I like your description of the sadness and joy combined. I have always appreciated Pink Floyd, but I find it hard to listen to them sometimes because I get overwhelmed and lost in the emotion of their music. I do like what you have said here, excellent reaction! Thanks

This is the music that I grew up to, my parents were HUGE Pink Floyd fans, and I am too now as well! They are my favorite classic rock band, Pantera being my favorite metal band. The intro to this was supposed to be in one ear... they did that hard panning to give it that far off and emotional feel! Such a great band and they are amazing story tellers!

I was three when this record came out. My dad used to play it quite regularly back then - really reminds me of those times. Such a poignant, soulful piece of music. My dad passed away a few years ago but this song/album takes me right back to those early days of my life when he was (perhaps unwittingly) cultivating an appreciation of good music. Still brings a tear to my eye.

I agree with everything you said at the end of this video. I've been listening to this son and album since it came out 47 years ago and each year passing it gets more and more powerful emotionally. Although it was written as a tribute to their ex band mate Syd Barrett, it can also be about all of us, and the more we grow older and people come and go in our lives this song becomes part of our own history and memories.

[@kelvinfoster1808]

Love your comment, "Too beautiful and too short", it's an amazing song. That comment is exactly what it's like reminiscing about the good times with someone you've lost that you've loved so much. You just can't help but wish you had more of the good times together. And on that note another great song of Pink Floyd's is Time from Darkside of the moon. You should also check out what is one of their most well known songs Money from the same album. The album Dark side of the moon remained on the Billboard top 200 albums chart for over 736 consecutive weeks. That is the timeframe from March 17th 1973 to July 16th 1988. And has as of March 2022 spent a staggering 962 weeks(it's probably more now) on the billboard chart and sold over 45 million copies. You might consider listening to some of their albums in their entirety since so many of the songs transition into each other beautifully and are intended to be listened to as a larger piece of art. Keep it up, you're awesome.
