I've watched dozens, at least, reactions to this song and this wonderful young man here is the FIRST to actually pause and comment on the 2, possibly most profound lines ever put to music: "The child is grown. The dream is gone.". Those 2 lines express all the hurt and loss conveyed in this song, the entire album, life as a whole. I;'d hug you if I could. Thank you.

[@YonatanZunger]

Thinking about it, these lines are really the heart of the whole album. It's the moment of actual revelation of the truth, in the madness- and drug-induced haze, that triggers the entire catharsis. The collapse of the wall at the end is symbolic, but this line is where the meat is. Gods, I love Pink Floyd. I've been listening to them since high school and they never get old, just more layered.

[@inotnad]

That whole verse; "When I was a child I caught a fleeing glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look, but it was gone I can not put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone" Will go down as a major poetic verse of the twentieth century

[@scozz6139]

Pink Floyd is a very, very special Rock Band, they are a Vibe all on their own. Pink Floyd's Spacey sound is mesmerizing, people have actually said they had an out of body experience! I'm not kidding. The listener is moved by Pink Floyds music, they take you on a cerebral Journy so to speak. A big part of that is David Gilmours' guitar playing. I've been a PF fan since 1973 when they released their "Dark Side of the Moon" album, I was 17. I was fortunate enough to get tickets too see them on their The Wall world Tour in 1980. That was the most incredible Show I've ever seen, to call it a concert does it a disservice. Pink Floyd was formed in London in 1964, today they have sold over 400 million, (and counting), albums worldwide. Only the Beatles have sold more albums, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin go back and forth for second place. The original band consisted of Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, Syd Barrett had to leave the band in 1967 for mental health and drug issues, David Gilmour, took over for Barrett in 1968, and is still active today! There's so much more to say but this is obviously not the venue to do so, so I;ll end with this. If you decide to go down this wonderful rabbit hole named Pink Floyd, you're in for a real treat! You will hear some of the most incredible music you'll ever hear for the rest of your life. You'll also SEE some of the most phenomenal live Rock performances of light and lazar shows you'll ever see

[@flubblert]

Btw, Gilmour's voice is almost as effective as his guitar in many a Floyd songs. His is the perfect voice to interpret Roger's dark introspective lyrics. I think the song "Wish You Were Here" is a perfect example. I've witnessed reactors moved to tears just based on his voice alone without even fully understanding the lyrics.

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Pink Floyd. Its classified as psychedelic/acid or experimental Rock. What is so amazing is, this band was formed in 1965...! They were so far ahead of their time that they sound just as good now as back then. The best way to experience them, which I would recommend with Comfortably Numb now, is dim the lights, have a beverage of choice, put the headphones on, turn it up and let it take you to your happy place. The Pluse concert live with this song and any others is truly mind blowing. So much better live. Time Shine on you crazy diamond The great gig in the sky Wish you were here So many more..

Backed up by a keyboardist/synth player that'll make you forget what planet you're on. And a drummer that brings the drama, the heart, the soul, whatever you need. And vocals that are in a class by themselves. Literally no one else sounds like them. Check out "Time" by them next, from one of the biggest selling albums of all time 'Dark Side of the Moon'.

Reason the beginning seems strange is the whole album flows from one song to the next. There's little things between the songs telling a larger story. It was made into a movie. Pink Floyd albums can be like that, Dark Side of the Moon is seemless in that, flowing one song after another through the whole album. This one, the Wall album, tells more of a specific story about a character, but Dark Side is more about universal subjects of life, death, etc.

The whole album (The Wall) is just one long journey seen through troubled eyes. Though not autobiographical, it borrows heavily from Roger Waters childhood. Dave Gilmour's outro guitar solo is arguably the best solo in the world but, as already commented, the Pulse (1994?) gig has the most amazing extended version which shows the masterful skill he employs on how to guitar solo WITH the band & not some Prima Donna one man show. Amazing. As you say, it's not really reaction material, even so well done & treat yourself to: The Wall.

The Wall is probably the best concept album ever made. As such doing the song's as reactions isn't ideal. Eventually you'll want to.listen to to he whole album in order. One of the things that makes it the best concept album, is they didn't just make videos they made whole movie, and that's probably the best way to experience it. I'd react to Another Brick in the Wall first at least, maybe Run Like Hell and Dirty Woman too. Great reaction! (What you're hearing is a full symphony with the full band and great early use of synthesizer. Also probably the ultimate lyrical content of Roger Waters, lead singer. I believe the album was inspired by the band's original lead singer Syd Barrett who literally lost his mind)

[@JoeTomasone]

Partially, but greatly by Roger Waters himself. His father died in WWII (A member of the Royal Fusiliers Company C) and that void is one of many “bricks in the wall”. So it’s partly autobiographical, party an homage of sorts to Syd, and partially fictionally embellished.

In terms of 'feeling' Pink Floyd, they experimented with sound on a lot of their albums, and one of the few to try Quadraphonic sound where it is balanced between 4 speakers instead of the 2 of stereo sound which is what became the norm. They tried a lot of stuff....and some would just listen to their albums on weed, or acid and such, really blowing their minds. I think some of that side is what you were feeling, and you are not alone. I love Pink Floyd and so many other bands/groups and singers. Eclectic musical taste is the best.

I have a theory on why it "feels" When playing Dave Gilmour uses "bends" of up to 5 semi-tones (BTW that's hard), instead of just "plucking" a higher note.

His playing is analogue not digital and I think our brains just love to ride the wave man😉😎

in 1971-1972 I first heard the album; Meddle; the song was Echoes it changed the way I listened too and heard music forever, Pink Floyd set a bar that has never been equaled let a lone surpassed. old man .02

As most of Pink Floyd albums, you must listen to them entirely... This song comes from the wall, also a movie with no pause. It's the same for other albums like The Dark Side Of The Moon. You really should react to the Pulse version of that track, in 1994, but without stopping the song, especially the guitar solo, that's so wonderful... I saw that concert, I'll never forget that moment of my life. Just enjoy the best band of the world. Love from France 🇫🇷😘

In fact, you should listen to all of their albums, you'll have the best trip of your life ❤️ I love your reaction, touching, thanks...

One of my favorite songs by Pink Floyd

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

You need to see the live version of this song on their Pulse tour, 1994. Magical. Hope you can listen to their entire album "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety and then the album "Wish You Were Here." Life changing.

I've heard this song forty million times and it STILL makes the hairs on the back of my head stand up :)

[@emilyflotilla931]

Can't wait to see you react to them live! "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" might be a good one. Now, may I ask, can you see how cool your parents and probably grandparents were?

Look at the PULSE Concert,this will Blow your Mind away.I am a BIG,BIG Floyd Fan since 1980.

[@cheryloakley8334]

This is why I seldom listen to Pink Floyd, I feel like their taking me on a trip I don't want to go down. I can't put my finger on it. I don't like it,but I do. It is extremely different.

[@annebelgard6723]

Drove from San Antonio to Mexico blasting " Dark Side of The Moon "...one of my favorite albums of all time...

[@toddjust5179]

That feeling of the music flowing through you...yeah...that is Pink Floyd...no words or explanations necessary.

[@teg1595]

I'm older, lived with this music.. people did a lot of hallucinogenic drugs back then and the comfortably numb and a few other songs are about being on these drugs that's why you feel so free love to watch you have this reaction it's great thanks

[@capetowntrikeman]

Now check out the live Pulse concert version.

[@alannichols7823]

I grew up with this music I’m so pleased that new generations can sit back and let the music flow over you and enjoy the sounds and the feelings that Floyd bring 😎😎😎😎

[@allenrobison8103]

YOU get it. Dreams of childhood, mixed with the band crew trying to get a revered member on stage...heavy stuff. One of THE best and most heartfelt guitar solos ever played in this song.

50 yrs old. You have no idea how grateful I am to have lived in a time with David Gilmour... and for as long as I have. This man and his unique sound make me soar. When I have wings and soar they are wet. David Gilmour does that..... I care not why, as I love it so. The answer is in the bending of a note into the next..... it just soars.. and touches the soul. Check out some master cello pieces. His playing and cello masterpieces are tunes to the heart.

My Favorite band such talent turned 78 today still listening to Them we had the best music and the best time to be alive ❤❤❤❤❤

[@janeedmunds7582]

YES!!!! You remind me how I felt the first time I heard this album!

[@Retrospective.]

Congratulations, this is one of the few times you have actually listened to "music". And, when i say music, i mean proper music, and you will know this, when you feel it in your veins, that was the music inside you, or rather, "you felt it in your soul". This is even better with a smoke, although not essential. Checkout the live version, it will blow your socks off.

David Gilmour is one of my fav guitarrsts and his voice is just so calm and perfect for their moody vibe. I had this music as a teenager in the 70s!
