Pink Floyd - Time (Reaction) Use it wisely, cause time is not on your side⏳⏳

[@andyzehr9839]

I've always felt that this was one of the most profound lyrics ever: "And then one day you find 10 years have gone behind you. No one told you when to run... you missed the starter gun."

[@Pomdownuder]

If only I'd took more notice of that line when I was young .....

[@badwulff]

@@Pomdownuder The sentiment is widely-shared, I believe

[@ShingenNolaan]

Same here, bro.

[@PraxisPeabody]

@@Pomdownuder that's the thing. It wasn't our time to hear it. Our paths are unique as we are. I was a complete gong show at 20. Now that I am 45 oddly enough I am growing at an alarming rate. Where as some of my friends that had there crap together have severely regressed. Much love from 🇨🇦

[@Pomdownuder]

@@PraxisPeabody I hate to tell you this JD at 45 I had a brain Aneurysm that ruptured, I got away with it thanks to great Drs and an 8hr surgery, now hitting 56, I thank my stars, God, karma, luck (pick what suits) that I did great things in my early 20s, but realise how bloody vulnerable we are. But also how much more I could have achieved, a sort of, yaaaay, awww moment.

[@Mark-om3cl]

One of the most epic solos ever in my opinion.

[@vevocreb]

Most of David Gilmours solos are epic

[@analogkid4957]

So melodic it hits the spirit and soul

[@timdryden3778]

This song was the hook. The rest is history..

[@jxkx4769]

does pink floyd just make anyone cry uncontrollably? like not even sadness its just so raw and well preformed it’s beautiful

[@vicaustin565]

Yes. Certain songs still bring chills and tears; Even after hearing them for 45 years.

[@erykvonritzmann4741]

Of course. It strikes that nerve.

[@jxkx4769]

@@vicaustin565 i wish i had the privilege of hearing them in their prime. im only 21 and anytime i listen to floyd, zeppelin, sabbath i just imagine what i missed lol

[@Thundaarr]

The song starts with the clocks, starting your life. And ends with the tolling of the iron bells, and the softly spoken magic spell. Signifying the funeral bells the the prayer for the dead that awaits us all. Imo, this is one of the best songs ever.

[@JG1rn]

The best ever

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

The entire rest of the song is expertly constructed as well. The beginning seems to go on forever but the BPMs are still quite fast, signifying adolescence. Then the guitar jumps in and plays a long, angst filled, solo. Signifying the transition from your teenage years into the struggle of adulthood. Then all of the instruments transition into a laid back, final section where the BPMs also drop quite a bit. Signifying the final years of life. True masterpiece.

[@kevinpreston4891]

12 bass drops before the song kicks in - one for every number on the clock - its all there for a reason - genius

[@heats13crazyness]

Holy shit! How have I never noticed!

[@leonardwashington6456]

Been listening to this all my life. Never gets old, only gets better. Still hard to believe a group of kids in their 20s wrote it. This album to me is one of mankind's greatest achievements.

[@hankdatank09]

Amen brother. I can’t help but tear up more and more the older that I get. So freaking emotional and true.

[@grelch]

Listen to the intro again and you’ll notice that tick tock of seconds going by, constant, never changing. You’ll also hear the pulse of a heart beat that speeds up through the intro. Life speeds up and eventually ends while time just keeps on going.

[@JosephHuntelvisnspiders]

Yes, the moments that make up a dull day, repetitive and monotonous.

[@gryndyl]

Also, the power chord plays exactly 12 times, the tolling of the clock striking midnight.

[@PromLesbian]

You totally get the message of this song. Pink Floyd is loved all around the world!

[@WookieWarriorz]

Not really, it's not really life advice it's a somber acceptance of how life works, these feelings are inevitable.

They have pink Floyd shirts but have never heard Time? New fans I guess.

[@KrazyIndeed]

I heard Floyd in my early 20's. 'You run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.. racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older'.. That lyric has stuck with my my whole life. It really sunk in how short life is and how much we take for granted.. on a daily basis.

[@AliasMark69]

I worked at Fender from 1972 - 77..... I assembled the Fender Rhodes Electric Piano used in this classic Iconic song and dozens more used in countless classic songs.

[@Tijuanabill]

She is right. Most older listeners understand this, but young people would be WISE to take heed to these lyrics. We only get one ride on this rock. There is no repeat.

[@romanlovera427]

First heard this song when I was 15. Love it. Great sound, great band, great guitar solos. Everything was great. I didn’t really pay attention to the lyrics. Now at 29 and as a father of 2. Some of the lyrics just hit different. Like a literal blink of an eye and a more than a decade went by. Powerful song

[@JimmyIronballs]

​@romanlovera427 29? Try 43 bro...

[@davidabbett7011]

I have heard this song and listened to its lyrics and powerful instrumentals for over 40 years . . . and it hits me hard every single time.

[@brianfranklinlee8490]

You noticed the Soul of the song. Pink Floyd got their name from two Black Blue's singers. Floyd Council of Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Pink Anderson of Lauren's South Carolina. I'm proud to be a Tarheel.

[@AliasMark69]

"TIME"..... like me, a 68 year old watching you react to a song I first heard at 15 years old and have heard countless times. But well worth my Time.

[@krw73]

In the first verse he says "one day you'll find 10 years has passed you by. No one told you when to run you missed the starting gun".... That's pretty heavy.

[@mj2758]

Sooo deep and sad

[@mathewdee1632]

For me the second verse hits you hard , trying to run to catch up with the sun , but it’s sinking …. Meaning your trying to find time , but there’s not enough time to do the things you haven’t done in life , shorter of breath , and one day closer to death ….. times running out

[@happymethehappyone8300]

As The Years Of Your Life Go By,, Everytime You Hear This Song The Impact Of It Only Grows Stronger...TRUTH!!

[@christopherryan7178]

So true, the song always resonated with me but now fresh off of a “I could have died” health scare it has even more meaning

[@jimangela4589]

This is actually two songs. Time ends with the word, "say". "Home, home again...", begins the third verse to the song "Breathe", the first two verses of which are earlier in the album Here "Breathe (Reprise)" as it is called is the segue to a song initially known as the Death Sequence later named, "The Great Gig In The Sky". The backing vocals in the latter half of "Time" foreshadow the vocals in Great Gig. Nick Mason the drummer and Roger Waters the writer/lyricist trained as architects. So it easy to see how intricate and well constructed the music is. Headphones bring a greater appreciation of their efforts. If I may suggest.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Yep, just an extra little treat.

[@MikeB12800]

I could swear my cd listed it as “Breathe Reprise” in the 90’s.

[@davidbordonaro1631]

You said it best -listening to Pink Floyd is a trip . much respect to you both .

[@bigblackearl6852]

Its even better when ur tripping until heroic doses atleast for me if im doing more than 5 tabs or a quarter of shrooms put ome nature shows and ill be straight

[@mysterymac38]

Every time I watch a reaction to this song, I think about how much time has passed since I last watched a reaction to this song.

[@MGillDesign]

7:05 makes you almost wanna cry...doesn't it? I could see the look in Steph's face. As the song beautifully winds down... feeling the time slipping away (realizing how many "tomorrows" we lost... and wondering how many more tomorrows we can take advantage of). Beautiful.

[@AliasMark69]

Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"... I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen. I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

As a young clueless kid this song didn’t hit home as much as it does today. I just graduated high school when this album came out. Love to be able to go back in Time!

[@michaelwheeling7422]

The lead guitar in this is pure emotion.

[@skipwilliam5639]

Pink Floyd puts you in the mood they want you to be in for every song. That is why the intros are long.. Just setting the mood :o)

[@edwardmeradith2419]

I get from it also - it’s just a fact that 30 days or 30 years, it all goes by in the blink of an eye. But ONLY you can decide what to do with it. If you enjoy relaxing, relax. But what ever you do, own it.

[@bradjbourgeois73]

This came out the year I was born, my favorite song!

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Pink Floyd never gets old to me. Been listening to them for 50+ years! Y’all should do a few songs from the Pulse concert, or any of their live stuff. 🔥🎶🔥

[@stevenclarke5606]

Dark Side of the Moon is now fifty years old, I’ve been listening to it from it’s release and I’m still listening to it today

[@philshorten3221]

"Time" transitions directly into "The Great Gig in the Sky" Possibly the deepest dive into the emotions surrounding death you will ever hear 😉 But in today's world you might find "Us and Them" particularly on point! Having said that, the entire album "The Dark Side of the Moon" is a Masterpiece / Work of Art. And don't just take the word of some old guy, it charted for well over 18 YEARS!

[@elgonwilliams7624]

I remember the first time I heard this album back in the early 70's. I was in high school. I'm pretty sure everyone who was into music in my school listened to it by the end of the first month of its release. It was kind of a right of passage. There was nothing else like it. The music was mesmerizing and the lyrics were profound. David Gilmour, the guitarist, said in an interview that his regret about the album is that he could never have the experience of everyone else outside of the band and the production team of listening to the whole thing for the first time.

[@sabrecatsmiladon7380]

The Intro---the ominous was meant to represent the Enormity of Time. They used the light Chimes to lighten it up

[@xXturbo86Xx]

This is a full emotional rollercoaster, a musical trip without chemicals. Steph, you nailed it darl, it's pull your finger out, whichever orifice you are procrastinating over, you are quite the philosopher. And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

[@mikemiller3069]

I don't know if y'all have watched "The Wizard Of Oz" or not, but some stoner figured out that, if you watch the movie with the sound down while listening to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" album (sync them up by hitting play on the music when the MGM lion roars the third time). All the music fits with the scenes of the music and the dancing and everything but there are a lot of other situations that line up as well. The whole movie with the Pink Floyd in the background is available on KZbin under the name, "The Dark Side Of Oz". It's kinda trippy but may not hurt to toke up first. 🤣

[@Isleofskye]

Time is the ultimate Thief, My Friends. You can not beat The Solid March Of Time. Seems only a few years ago I saw this DEBUTED in Earls Court, West London along with 18,000 others in 1973. The only problem is that was 49 YEARS AGO and now I will be 70 years old in under 2 years. Cost of the ticket to see one of the World's greatest groups? £1 or $1.34 :)

I would go back to the past and do whatever possible to find a cure for my Dad's cancer to save his life, and if it's not possible to save his life I'd do everything in my power to be a better person. A person deserving of having the amazing Dad that I had and be someone that my Dad could be proud of, instead of worthless waste of space I am. He dedicated his life to providing me with all the love, knowledge and wisdom to be a good man and do great things but instead I threw it all away and failed in every aspect of life. All I want now is for my Dad to not have died disappointed in me, which he never said he was because he was a good man but I know he had to be because how could he not have been, what with me being who I've been.

There are no mistakes - only lessons. Life is filled with lessons. A lesson will be repeated until such time as it is learned - as evidenced by a change in your behaviour. When you have learned that lesson you will be presented with another lesson. The lessons will never stop coming. As long as you live there will be more to learn. If I could go back and change any of my mistakes (lessons) I would not do so. All of those learning experiences is what has made me who I am today, and it is what has given me my current outlook on life. Without all those lessons (mistakes) I would not see the world the way I do now, and I would not appreciate the most important aspects of my life.

[@AliasMark69]

I was looking out in front of me and saw the word Future coming at me very fast. As it flew by I turned to look and it said Past. I think I’ll put aside some time today so I can use it tomorrow. I have a bucket full of Time. I’m going to add some sugar and spice and make it a sweet time. What time will it be tomorrow… Future time, as opposed to my past time of being a little out of time. I wonder…What time is the next time?… time will tell. For the time being, I think I’ll take some time off from keeping time. If I had the time, I would buy some time, so I could use my time wisely. Now I think it is time for me to go to bed, and rest my head, just in time before I fall asleep and fall down and hit my head. Time waits for no one, but right now time is on my side, for the time being anyhow. Time is only a human concept. There really is no such thing as time. No beginning and no end. If someone tells me that time started at a certain time, I'll ask... what was going on ten minutes before time began. If someone says time will end at a certain time, I'll say... Sorry, I'm going to be ten minutes late for the end of time. You can't hold time in your hand. . It is a pleasure to have shared this time with you. Maybe we can do it again some other time, but only if it is not a waste of your precious time. The clock is ticking. I must now go and gather some more time to spend with others. They say "Time Is Money", I'm a very wealthy man. I like to share my wealth. This time was FREE for the taking. Good Day to all who have taken the time to read this comment. This may be the only time. Until the next time. The next time you hear from me it will be that time again. Have a Good Time.

[@mikenorton632]

Roger Waters said the song was inspired by something his mom use to say to him. About preparing for when he would begin living his life. One day he realized that he had already been living his life. Hence the lyric, "no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun". Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album about life, and it is timeless!

[@helmutvogel901]

Couple of things about listening to Pink Floyd. 1- You need headphones/earphones. Believe me, you will hear things you can NOT hear through speakers, unless you are literally BLASTING it!! Trust me, I have been listening to Pink Floyd since 1975. 2- You need to listen to certain albums in their entirety, first song to last without interruption, because these are concept albums, the whole album telling a story. These albums are Dark Side of the Moon 1973, Wish You Were Here 1975, Animals 1977 and The Wall 1979. In fact, you just now listened to 2 songs, Time and Breathe (Reprise) and did not even notice. This is how their albums go. And the song that follows what you just listened to, would probably have made you cry. Well, maybe.
