Pink Floyd - A Pillow Of Winds (REACTION)

[@willo8794]

Such hypnotic music.

[@yvonnepoortinga8170]

It’s like an adult lullaby❤

[@philcannistraci9560]

Yes, that's David Gilmour on acoustic, electric, and slide guitars and vocals. He's the best!

[@2869may]

Do you know Gilmour's '78 solo album..." "No Way Out Of Here", "Raise My Rent", "So Far Away", "I Cant Breathe Anymore" and "No Way"....

[@buzzwerd8093]

The Gdansk video is tops. He plays the spaces as well as the notes. The balance shifts, the silences accentuate the sounds. Compare to sound all the way through which has different qualities and can vary how much but silence to sound is edges.

[@PhasersAndArrows]

I’m impressed that you two are reacting to one of the most overlooked Floyd albums. Excited to hear the rest of the album with you guys. Obscured by Clouds is the album previous to Meddle & is highly underrated. Would love to hear your educated reactions. I appreciate your analysis & enthusiasm.

This is my favorite Pink Floyd song. Its tranquil and haunting melody penetrates into the depths and inner core of one's consciousness. Grantchester Meadows has a similar vibe.

[@cherylwoodward]

Both of those songs stand out as beautiful, soft melodic songs. I just love David’s voice on both.

The peaceful vibe is unmatched only by the Rain song by Zepp

[@myownchannel247]

Who says a beautiful lullaby can’t be on a rock album, this song never gets old. Sadly I don’t know of any live versions, I personally don’t think they ever did it live 🔥

[@sevenstarsofthedipper1047]

I love the subtle change from the Interlude back to the Main Melody just before the last verse. Incredible.

[@metaphoria3]

All the subtle high bass slide/ notes by Roger

[@metaphoria3]

One of my all time fav songs

[@metaphoria3]

The vibe is so visual and haunting i love it

[@stevedotwood]

The pastoral side of Floyd. Love the track

[@donaldbass6737]

Again…”Meddle” is my favorite. Roger Waters had not at that time become so jaded and disaffected as he later did become. Some songs…like this and “Fearless, Interpolating You’ll Never Walk Alone”, “San Teopez” and “One of These Days”. Great album.

[@yvesblues560]

Chills 😍😇

[@jasonremy1627]

Can't wait till you guys get to "Echoes". It's a sonic tour-de-force

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

The already reacted to Echoes, both Pt.1 & Pt. 2 Live at Pompeii. They loved it! If you search their videos, I’m sure you’ll find it in there. 😉

[@Ozarkprepper643]

This has always been in my top three of theirs. As I think back more than any other P.F. album I've listened to completely Non-Stop is oddly Umaguma. And it's a double album. Part of that it was always a must when camping. It was saved for late night at the campfire.lol And by that time the 8-track would keep repeating or the cassette player would be on auto reverse.lol ✌️🤠🏞️🐂

[@tago69mago]

Dave Gilmour is such a great guitarist that his great vocals get overlooked.

[@mattleppard1970]

Their first real transitional album and arguably their last with such an eclectic range of styles ❤

[@APAL880]

You guys and your enthusiasm about everything you try is awesome. I'm enjoying these and the Zeppelin reactions and Sabbath, etc. Keep it up

[@scottbaker5998]

I looked up "tranquility" in the dictionary once and this was the audio entry which accompanied the definition. This entire album is a feast for the ears, which demands headphones, soft lighting, and a good whiskey to sip.

[@harryofgo]

Beautiful harmony on vocals. It's a one trick pony song, but its a soothing trick.

One of the guitars has an alternate tuning and all of it together sounds like a sitar to me. Really nice.

[@CoolCoyote]

btw for your next song 'Fearless' the lyric is 'chiding' 'full of rebuke the next lyric is 'Climbing'

[@vicprovost2561]

Pink Floyd has a bunch of varying acoustic tunes, often they put you in yet another one of trances, different from their louder, more rocking stuff but Floyd is always an experience. It is amazing how cinematic their music is, this is not background or modern music that is heard today and gone tomorrow, this is the music to listen to all your life.They put me into my happy place. try Fat Old Sun for similar vibes, Floyd is endless musical exploration. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

They paused the song right when the only hit on the drum happened, if so. Just at the moment when the guy on the left mentioned he's waiting for the drums to drop. The rest it's just the snare. This is one of the most beautiful songs in Pink Floyd's creations.

[@2869may]

Please do solo David Gilmour ~ "No Way Out Of Here", "Raise My Rent", "So Far Away", "I Cant Breathe Anymore" and "No Way".... I promise you will not regret it...! Also (Waters free) Pink Floyd album The Division Bell is an absolute Masterpiece...! "Wearing The Inside Out", "High Hopes", "Lost for Words", "Poles Apart" and "A Great Day For Freedom"

David Gilmour vocals and guitars. If Roger Waters gave the band its direction and vocabulary post Syd Barrett..., David Gilmour played an important part in giving them their sound and commercial value. One of the most iconic singularly unique voices in Rock.

[@louisskulnik7390]

Guys, I hope you will consider listening to Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. It is marvelous and eccentric. Many do not like it, many swear by it which makes it a fantastic listen for reaction. (In my opinion.) Hear how it all started!

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

It’s been one of my all time favorite Floyd Records since I first heard it, as well as “Relics”.. being they were from that same early Floyd era, they kinda fit hand in hand.

[@rlwetz4317]

This and the next two tracks ("Fearless," "San Tropez") fit together so well (IMO) for the mellow after the peak (if you catch my drift) of "One Of These Days." Then whammo---Side 2 for a whole new trip! 😎 This is why I keep wondering if Piper era "Astronomy Domine" or solo Syd's "Terrapin" will ever make the reaction rounds as a relic to be dusted off. "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" too, because it was the bridge track and the concert centerpiece for a wild, young, struggling Pink Floyd.

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Totally agree with you, but unfortunately I doubt many reactions will ever be given to Piper or any solo Syd. It kinda bums me out, cause I love all that stuff so much, but over the years have found only certain people can get into it, and thereby grasp his greatness despite the sad aspect of his deteriorating condition.

[@rlwetz4317]

@@CANDOKNOWHOW For me, "Dominoes" and "Terrapin" are absolutely necessary to complete the puzzle. Roger and Nick always copped to the architectural construction of their musical suites, and we hear so many built off of a single note or chord. But Syd? He heard melodies and wove lyrics around them like some wandering medieval troubadour. Could that be why Roger in particular chased that spark of Syd's, commemorating it so many times in his own songs? Do we not hear "Bike" in DSOTM? "Pow R Toc H" in Roger's Saucerful of Secrets screams and Dave's WYWH scats? "Astronomy Domine" and "Interstellar Overdrive" in Meddle? "Jugband Blues" and "Dark Globe" and "Vegetable Man" in The Wall? As vast as "Echoes" is, and as much of a fantasy submarine-slash-outerspace realm as it creates, IMHO Syd nails with the acoustic, undersea shimmery "Terrapin" as well.

[@crazyfingers19]

I agree. If you are going to delve into a bands sound, then go back to the beginning. In this case Astronomy Domine. I think it’s one of the best career opening songs there ever was.

[@rlwetz4317]

[@paulprendergast3184]

I've seen them live twice (73 and 75, both good shows) and listened to many of their records, many times at length (from Ummagumma to the Wall to be specific). Some of my buddies loved them. To be completely honest, they've just never captured me. They have a handful of songs I consider truly great, but I have just never been a huge fan of theirs. Don't know why. Music is funny that way--so subjective.

[@silvanorossi6416]

[@ron88303]

I won't deny or challenge Pink Floyd's greatness, but they remind me of a glass half-empty, whereas Yes reminds me of a glass half-full.

[@johnbrowne3950]

Never heard Floyd described as "half empty." If anything they are full to overflowing.

[@ron88303]

@@johnbrowne3950 I didn't mean it in terms of the quality of their music. Glass half-empty or half-full is a phrase typically used to describe one's attitude about things; half-empty means one tends toward a pessimistic view while half-full tends towards an optimistic view. Floyd, to me, is darker and more pessimistic than Yes.

[@mikemicrael5749]

I wonder what the other half of the glasses would taste like to Ron. If Yes and Floyd leave him wanting, they aren't for him and he has a lot of choices. Many popular bands leave me wanting, but I would never suggest they are also great bands. Commercial success does not make an artist great - it is the catalog, and I would put the catalogs of Yes and Pink Floyd up against anyone's.

[@johnbrowne3950]

@@mikemicrael5749 I disagree. For example, Careful With That Axe Eugene is a public service announcement.

[@ron88303]

@@mikemicrael5749 You miss my point entirely. First, Yes is one of my favorite bands ever. To me they generate an optimistic vibe which appeals to me. Floyd is the converse; I recognize and appreciate their talent, but they generate more of a pessimistic vibe. I'm just making an observation of how I contrast the two; no diss of Floyd was ever intended.

Lon and Chi understand the importance of album flow. I love "Pillow of Winds" on its own, but it fits perfectly on the Meddle album, coming out of "One of These Days" and leading into "Fearless." Even Floyd's lesser songs are fantastic and always welcome on my turntable.

[@ursgeiser6570]

Apparently this was common in the prog phase, one or two longer main tracks, the rest rather short songs by band members, where one likes the other less: Atom, Foxtrot, Fragile, Brain, Tarkus... Only from Close I like all three longer tracks. That's why Brain isn't my favorite ELP album. Have fun with good music.

[@georgetaxi8179]

​@Mike micrael I understand flow also. I still don't care for it. I feel the same way with some tunes on "The Wall" and Genesis "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" The songs flow within the concept of the record, but they are just filler tracks to me.
