FIRST TIME HEARING 'Pink Floyd - Hey You' | GENUINE REACTION

[@paulleach3612]

There are two types of people on this planet; those who love Pink Floyd and those who haven't heard them yet...

[@2006aprilus]

you're soooo right

[@briancleveland6115]

And us who have had the privilege of seeing them live 👍

[@keiththompson8922]

Ha! Yes!

[@Twins1964]

I totally agree...I've gotten my adult son's & 7 nephews ( & some of their wives) listening. My daughter won't even try. 😅

[@goosefarm3602]

lol true

[@vootabangee1]

"you don't have a favorite Pink Floyd song, because the next song you hear is your favorite".. Well said. You just captured the reality that is.. Pink Floyd.

[@amptique]

Here is a Pink Floyd experiment for you: Go back and listen to one of your previous favorites again and see if it becomes your new favorite. You may discover that your favorite is always the last one you heard. Glad you found Pink Floyd. There is no other like them.😎

[@swfcocs1]

Damn, when you started with pink floyd experiment I thought you were going with the urban legend about The Wizard of oz combined with Dark Side of the moon😅

[@42Mrgreenman]

@@swfcocs1 Yeah, it is an urban legend, but the coincidence is cosmically scary, how serindipity can work in such a way that beat for beat, Dark Side of the Moon matches up to Wizard of Oz in such a specific way...

Don’t know if you’ll read this comment, because I’m making 11 months after you posted this, I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos and have been going through your whole back catalog of reactions. I like the way you come at things with fresh ears, and that your reactions are actually sincere and not obviously staged like some people’s.

[@thomasp.3796]

No matter which song or album you can mention, Pink Floyd=Musical Genius.

[@adrianolmedo3816]

This song is incredible, music, lyrics and emotion. I am 64 and this one have been giving me the chills since I was very young. Greetings from Argentina.

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

Great reaction! I hope you are understanding why when us “older people “ don’t like music today with its phoney drum beats and auto tone. This is why because we grew up listening to real musicians who played their instruments and created music with their own talent. This is why we for the most part today’s music can’t compare to what we grew up listening to.

[@gerrydupuis9897]

Amen brother.

[@karenmikalofsky5287]

💯 The fake instruments are soooo bad. And many voices just sound whiney or tinny to me. Not sure how to explain it, just fake sounding.

[@the-NightStar]

You know, i'm 48 years old myself, so it's not like i'm a spring chicken either, but whenever I hear this crotchety old 'get off my lawn' boomer talk, the least I expect are fair criticisms or at least pronouncing or spelling "autotune" right when criticizing it, which would at least make it sound like you know what it is. (Also only a small minority of songs these days feature it, in only 2 genres of music, both of which are not nearly as prominent anymore as they were in 2009-2011, and autotune has fallen drastically out of favor these days) And when I hear people bemoaning "fake instruments" and then pointing to Pink Floyd (who I LOVE by the way), all I can do is laugh because Pink Floyd PIONEERED "fake instruments" with synth, and keyboard samples from Rick Wright, and Roger Water's oscillation tinkering which created an entire plethora of "fake instrument" sounds that were more versatile than the real things. One only needs to listen to Dogs or Any Colour You Like to hear perfect examples of them paving the way for exactly the things you're complaining about now. If you REALLY WANT to point the finger at modern EDM music for being what it is today, you should re-point that finger back at bands like Pink Floyd for pioneering these EDM and electronic experimentation that led to what's used in current pop and rock today.

[@leannlaplante3643]

Amen. Some of also waited by the radio for the music. My parents would never let their little girl by Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin.

Yes agreed for me their only peers from the 70's was zeppelin.

[@daveheesen9174]

I agree with that...The way I look at those two bands I say that Led Zeppelin could play ANY genre and make it their own...Pink Floyd was their own genre

[@brettwilkie3833]

Richard Wright on keyboards is such an impressive & important part of their sound too.

[@Kookygirl111]

I've said it a thousand times since I first heard it - you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. Such a true statement.

[@godfatherstabba]

There won't be a pink Floyd song you won't like. Every song is special. EVERY SONG.

[@gryndyl]

I dunno, man, it was an important step in finding their sound but some of ummagumma is a hard listen.

[@Jude_196]

Nothing could be TRUER!!

[@the-NightStar]

Personally, I absolutely despise "Several Small Species Of Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Groovin' On A Pict", "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast", and I even think "Atom Heart Mother" is a big fat dud of a song and an album in general. Pink Floyd have had their fair share of bad songs.

[@colinweir3203]

PINK FLOYD AND KANSAS THE TWO BANDS WITH THE DEEPEST LYRICS ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. SUPPORT FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 YOUNG MAN. I'm 61 I'm one stripe away from my black belt in BJJ and I do MMA as well I play Pink Floyd at training, listened to them all my life.

[@helmutvogel901]

Don't know if anybody has mentioned that there are 4 Pink Floyd albums that are concept albums, and should be listened to from first to last song as there are no pauses between songs (except for cd versions, which force a break to be able to find the next track), and the whole album tells a story from start to finish. These albums are, in order, Dark Side of the Moon 1973, Wish You Were Here 1975, Animals 1977, and The Wall 1979. Most reactors get away with doing Side 1 Side 2 reactions, at worse they break it down by song. But almost all stay up. I was lucky to have an older (5 1/2 yrs) brother who turned me on to good music at a young age. And I have come to realize that my generation is spoiled as far as music is concerned. I was born in 1960, and I grew up when all the best groups (in my opinion) were creating the music we are still reacting to today!! This was the era of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Dire Straits, Black Sabbath, Grand Funk and so many others. It is so much fun to watch people get introduced to the music I grew up on, and still enjoy today!

[@ianfortier6796]

I'd add The Final Cut to the list of concept album, and The Division Bell to a lesser extent.

[@amadormediero3978]

Yep. Great era of music and creativity. Except that for me The Who was quite simply the most overrated band of all time. To me if you heard 1 The Who song you have virtually heard them all. Just my opinion but The Who do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Pink Floyd, Dire Straits or Led Zep.

[@amadormediero3978]

Another brilliant concept album is Amused to Death Roger Waters

[@ianfortier6796]

@@amadormediero3978 Amused To Death is easily Roger's best solo album.

[@pieterhuman8049]

I grew up listening to this and playing it. I'm actually envious of you hearing this fresh. It's taken me years to admit that they are actually my favorite band of all time. Love your reaction. Once Pink Floyded, you can never become unFloyded.

[@mannyfnsc29]

'Hey you' is the quintessential Pink Floyd song.. typically eerie (including the buzzing sound during the 'worms eating into his brain part'), emotional Gilmour solo, incredible background bass.. and Roger Waters taking over the vocals at the end. Awesome song.

[@matf9325]

Echoes from the Meddle album is one of Pink Floyd's greatest masterpieces (the studio version musicality/musicianship is outstanding!!)

Young fella over the last few days I’ve watched your PF reactions and you’ve grown every day …. You’ll know when your a totally hopeless case when you get up in the morning and put PF on your sound system while you get ready for the day and have your breakfast and when your chilling out in the evening your still listening to PF, I stopped selecting favourites a few years back now they are like really good friends …I’m always pleased when I see/ hear them. And you ? You have dived whole heartedly into a very deep rabbit hole but there’s lots of good people all over the world that share your interest/ passion / love of their music.

Hey You was the first Floyd song I heard when 14 years old and that was it! Best music you can listen to FULL STOP. My favourite of all time I think is Comfortably Numb (best live version being from A Delicate Sound of Thunder)....Seeing them live in Rotterdam in 1994 and listening to Sam Brown sing Great Gig in the Sky - Best night of my life!!!

[@SnailMailShell]

4:10 I am grinning like a sinister shadow, waiting for this upcoming part! Did not disappoint. Pink Floyd always escalates and washes over us with a wave that drowns us in unexpected emotion. Then we emerge, begging, “Do it again!” Not to interfere with your upcoming PF reactions, but you need to watch PF’s the wall. Preferably not alone because you’ll need to bounce ideas off each other! You and your sweet girl can make a date out of it. And maybe even a video. 😊

[@RickWright66]

Hey Molly.. new sub here. Great channel so far! Pink Floyd in my opinion is in their own genre... there will never be another. Pink Floyd albums are concept albums... think of them like a book and each song as being a chapter of said 'book'... I suggest you do album reactions with each song being that days video release... start with Animals... that concept album is about the different types of ppl in the world....Pigs are the politicians... Dogs are the rich and powerful and sheep are you guessed it, the general public blindly following the rules set by the two previous groups. I personally think that Dogs is their best song of any album!

[@Pntngbrn]

That is hands down one of my favorite of theirs. The Wall was one of my top 5 albums growing up. I don't even think I appreciated them as much then as I do now. It's an experience.

I know every song, every note of every song and it was worth it. They are gonna be learned in music schools

[@coot1925]

That fretless bass is just the bollocks. I just invested in a new pair of head phones and that bass almost microwaved my head........ awesome.

[@mikeevans1625]

Personally, I feel like Pink Floyd really began hitting their stride with the album Obscured for Clouds. That album has some great tracks that work better as standalone pieces. Likewise, Meddle has some amazing tracks as well, capped off with the opus Echoes (which you already checked out in Pompeii). As others have mentioned, their most famous albums are more concept albums with The Wall being the most narratively driven of the bunch. Depending on what you want to hear, some fast-paced bangers: One of These Days, Young Lust, Money, Happiest Days of our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2; ethereal and dreamy: Us and Them, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (6-9), Brain Damage/Eclipse, Wish You Were Here, Great Gig in the Sky; assorted amazingness: Dogs, Have a Cigar, Sheep.

Don’t worry about trying to decide on a favorite. All of these songs will grow and evolve in your spirit, depending on mood, age, experiences. I’ve given up on identifying favorite Floyd songs. So many of them are at the top of the list at certain times for me, and it always changes. Just enjoy the ride! But if I had to choose with a gun to my head, the songs where Roger and David trade off on vocals, or David and Richard trade off on vocals (like Echoes, Time), would all be up there.
