Pink Floyd - Time | Singer Reacts & Musician Analysis

[@albertsmith9315]

When I was 20, the line: "...And Then One Day You Find 10 Years Have Got Behind You..." seems so abstract. Now in my late 60s, so many of those 10 years have gone by... they were so right.

[@mikedo6]

Had the same thoughts. I'm 61 and when attending my ten year high school reunion in 90... I had to leave the party to work the overnight shift as a Custodian at the high school I freakin' graduated from! No one told me when to run.

[@palerider12_5]

so true. Something I understood- But also something that you can give your kids. They should lay in the son, but I tried that they don´t miss the gun. both are 18 and 22 year old and I think will all did a lot in a good way.

[@deanroddey2881]

Yeh, what wouldn't I give for a mere ten years behind me? I remember sitting with my friends in the mid-80s, severely stoned, and talking about how ancient we'd be when the year 2000 came around. Now, I'd give up an organ or three to go back 2000. Of course 1995 would be even better, since I could be retired and wealthy in Palo Alto by 2000.

[@IwasInThe60s]

I am also in my late 60's and probably very lucky to be alive. This song is so prophetic.

[@rkw2917]

No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun Thankfully I did not miss it but still many 10s of years have gotten behind me And I do like to warm my bones by the fire

[@Pomdownuder]

If this song doesn't change the way you think about life you aren't listening. The greatest wake up call ever written.

[@djclabbe88]

It didn't feel like she noticed the lyrics, just "the sound"

[@JoeMon491]

​@@djclabbe88 I was thinking the same thing. I've watched many different reactions to this song and every time it evokes emotions, many times tears. She totally missed the point.

[@copiedoffme]

She missed it.

[@ELP68]

Song went right past her. Ironic she was the visual of exactly what the song was talking about. If she watches her reaction and listens to the lyrics it will probably be embarrassing 😳 🫣

[@JoeMon491]

@@ELP68 It kind of annoyed me. PF ALWAYS sounds amazing, but you should NEVER ignore the lyrics. I really enjoy watching the moment reactors "get it", especially with song like Time. I'm envious that they're just starting out on their PF journey.

[@kens32052]

The older you are the more meaning this song will have.

[@dizzle7558]

Haha..Facts👍

[@marekkozub8957]

So true.

[@woojoke]

U 3 B joshin me....oh wait, i agree

[@masitaatisam3679]

Phenomenal

[@robertcartier5088]

Indeed. ...some days, I wish I understood the damn song just a little less. lol

[@speccolo]

That Gilmour solo is so perfect, so painful...you literally feel the pain of time passing...

[@bigglesace1626]

As everyone says, the older you are, the more the song resonates. I must admit, when I first listened to it back in the 70's, I missed the meassage, but now I definitely can see that I did indeed miss the starting gun. Blows me away to think how young these guys were when they wrote this stuff, epic.

[@martyk656]

I agree. Hearing DSotM for the first time at (11 years old) overwhelmed my senses. I missed a ton of nuance, but it changed me forever. I loved her reaction and I'm sure she'll "get it" quicker than many 60+ grumps complaining she missed the best lyric. In fact, it reinforces the point. "Youth is wasted on the young" is not an insult.

[@gerardbyrnes5780]

When this album came out we all just sat there with our jaws dropped. What an epic piece of work it was!

[@dwhite849]

6 of us melted into piles of ooze the first listen to this album

[@stevenclarke5606]

I listened to it on the first release, and I’m still listening to it today 50 years later it’s literally life changing , David Gilmore’s solo is in my opinion one of the greatest ever!

[@nickhaynes3495]

No one makes a guitar sing, cry and scream in pain like Gilmour. Its not an instrument, its an emotion

[@mychanneljuancamaney]

You are right about it.

[@brendanbarron5631]

Try Gary Moore.

[@warriorpitbull1170]

Young people seldom glom onto the deep messages in this song. The older you got, more and more of this song becomes relevant and the more you understand it.

[@mr.dirtydan3338]

It's not that they don't "get it", fear of aging is completely universal. It's that they don't want to dwell on how much they are going to hate the speed of time when they are older.

[@johnkess2174]

[@steve9199]

It's been said that Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour doesn't use an amplifier... he plugs his guitar straight into your soul!

[@stevefeatherstone2926]

Always like your reactions Millie. With this one it looked like you concentrated mostly on the music which is fine because it's brilliant but I recommend you read the lyrics as well it's a very profound and life changing song

[@michaelfried3123]

I turn 54 this year, and as my Time goes by this song has a deeper and deeper meaning for me. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way, the time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...

[@nflr92]

This spoke to me even when I was starting college in 1982. I felt like I was standing still while everyone else not only had direction but was off and running toward their goals. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up.

[@ripvanwinkle2002]

MIllie "I get the concept of time here" Us "not yet you dont, but you will soon"

[@geoffclarke3796]

A brilliant song from one of the best albums in rock history. I love this song but get depressed listening to now as was a young boy when I first heard it and now in my early 50's. 'Hanging on in quite desperation is the English way', so very true.

[@johncapitelli4324]

This perfect album was on the BB 200 charts for over 700 nonconsecutive weeks. That’s more than 14 years. It was so cutting edge at that time it blew everyone away. Love it to this day and more special is my kids love it.

[@audionmusic2787]

FYI the ‘nervous organ’ is a Farfisa using both vibrato and tremolo. That’s what makes it nervous. The female backing vocals were fed thru a Leslie to give it that swirl. Never heard that used anywhere else. The lead guitar is a lap steel played with a slide, running into a Hiwatt 100 watt amplifier turned up to maximum. You can hear the power tubes struggle to keep up.

[@fischmi2]

Like others have mentioned, paying attention to the lyrics is an essential part of appreciating PF’s art. Just open them and read along as you listen.

[@timl8302]

In about 10 or 20 years the lyrics will mean more to you.

[@vernhoke7730]

This album, Dark Side of the Moon, is the only record I've owned on multiple formats since it came out in 1973. I bought the album back in high school, later the 8-track, then cassette and Aldo compact disc, in my opinion the best way to listen to it. Later I purchased the Original Master Recording virgin vinyl album and Super Audio CD Original Master Recording.

[@michaelpaz5052]

Pay attention to the lyrics. Life is slipping away. Time is slipping away. P.S., I love your facial reaction when the sad part of the solo begins.

[@rowenatulley852]

Dark Side of the Moon is one of those "must own" albums . . .

[@humpy936]

I’m 64 years old, believe me, I first heard this 51 years ago and it doesn’t seem that long ago!😢 This is an album meant to be listened to from beginning to end in one session, I do believe “dark side of the moon” is the best selling album of all time if I remember correctly?

[@davidquenneville7611]

You are hooked. You can't get enough of Floyd.when i wa young in the 70's everyone listened to Floyd. The cool ones still do.

[@BrewerUMich91]

The greatest band of all time! Period! Meddle, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals & The Wall. No band ever wrote 5 straight masterpieces!

[@bobbyverne9714]

Here here!! ANIMALS is far underrated, in my opinion. It's so good! Best rock band ever...PERIOD!!

[@warmongerel9743]

The lyrics are SO deep and meaningful...and this "singer" missed them all mugging for the camera. In 30 years, she'll probably understand.

[@ivanreis5886]

this is the most soundly expressive song of pink floyd, this song have a such artistic touch in all of his corners and sides, this instrumental makes you feel the truth lyrics behind the lyrics, The time itself, past us through in relative ways, in different moments of life, from our birthday to our death, and at same time all this lifetime we only want to feel warm and happy

[@gtplumbing2004]

If you are going to write music, make sure that you are doing it with the hope that it will stand the test of time. Pink Floyd did it to perfection. It should be every songwriter's goal.

[@georgehollingsworth2428]

NOTE: This song was really meant to be played back to back with "Great Gig in the Sky" You REALLY should listen to them back to back when you get time.

[@faemike55]

After all these years this song still gives me goosebumps! Lovin your reaction

[@royrocker9004]

I used to crank this song up early on Christmas morning to wake the household up to start opening presents. After the first initial shock...lol.. they all loved it and it has become a tradition with other family members and their families to this day.... What better way to start Christmas morning or ANY morning than to kick your day off with some Pink Floyd...?? That was a rhetorical question because we all know... there is no better way..

[@ggwalker55]

I see you rocking out the music, but the epic music is only eclipsed by the lyrics. Take the words in. Top 5 song of all time for me.

[@ron88303]

I was always partial to 70's Yes and Genesis, but Pink Floyd is totally legit. I don't think any decade can duplicate what the 70's did musically (well, unless you went back about 300 years).

[@ThePensive8]

Richard Wrights voice fits perfectly. Love this tune!

[@firedoc5]

My first ex-wife was born in 1973, the same year Darkside came out. So, she was a bit younger than me, so I introduced her to Pink Floyd. The first time she heard this she freaked a bit because she had a "thing" about loud bells. Fortunately, she fell in love with Pink Floyd almost as much as I do. With the song Money, also using great sound effects in the intro, I did warn her about it. This song is timeless (pun intended).

[@sircull4047]

I love watching people catch up, glad you liked it!

[@bartroberts3634]

Floyd is all about the story put to music in a way you don't need visulization on a screen.Close your eyes and listen the entire album is a story by chapter and verse.

[@angusrobertson2515]

This album changed my life

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

Hi Millie - I appreciate your posts and the way you are exploring and evolving in public view. Keep being true to yourself and keep reaching and being curious!

[@brunabruh5580]

I'm Brazilian, I'm 23 years old and I'm in love with Pink Floyd. Beautiful songs that make me dream and mentally travel 😍😍

[@dominedi]

i'm always fashinated when i see young people react to "old" songs from "my time"

[@richardeycken]

Millie, sit back and listen to the album as a whole. Fifty years after its release, its still epic.

[@davidrauh8118]

David Gilmore sings the first part of each verse and then Richard Wright sings the other part. And of course David does that last bit.

[@MegaForrestgump]

For anyone that loves this song as much as I do, Search Kent Nishimura Time. The dude absolutely NAILS his rendition of this song. Pure perfection.

[@philipturner9087]

You don’t drugs you need headphones, a bed and a dark room for this whole album and you’ll get high out of body experience touring the multiverse.

[@seanscott]

pink floyd is one of those bands where you dont just listen to theirs songs, you experience them. this song just hits you harder and harder as you get older. never listen to this song again for a few years or so and see how it changes your perspective. its such a heavy song

[@katapult9999]

I bought my first Pink Floyd album in 1969 (Ummagumma) and saw them live in 1971 and 4 more times after that. For me This is the BEST band of all times. Now I'm 71 years old and still listen to them everyday.

[@thereisnospoon52]

Please please please, listen to the entire album all at once, preferably with good headphones when you are relaxed in a comfortable place, maybe have a drink or a smoke and just explore where the music takes you, everybody's experiences it differently. Dark Side of the Moon and most other Pink Floyd albums, were concept albums that were like reading a short book and each song is a chapter.

[@JDogg1971]

This is a great reaction. Youth vs wisdom. Sound vs meaning. Good lord, I’m getting old. It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire. 🤓😤

[@KFCMmuc]

Although I'm not saying that Comfortably Numb is overrated, this is the one best guitar solo ever for me. It's just so much more expressive and evocative.

[@davidkemery7216]

Pink Anderson and Floyd council = Pink Floyd. Original guitarist Syd Barrett had albums by these two old black blues artists, love them dearly and took the first name from each for the bands moniker.

[@Tampahop]

Time or timeless? Pink Floyd's music always feels fresh, like it could have been written today. Well, maybe not today. It's too good to have been written today considering the current music scene. 😉

[@mikebunner3498]

Millie, This is a super band!!! Each member is a true master of their craft!!! I happen to think this is one of the best rock albums EVER! Listen real hard to the lyrics!!!Very insightful!!! Lastly, may I suggest you find and review --- "The Big Gig in the SKY"... It is off of this same album.

[@billywix7313]

I’m glad you did this song. It’s one of my favorites.

[@davidtaylor7242]

If you have not done so, try a reaction to The Great Gig In The Sky from the same album. The ringing chiming clocks always gives people a shock on first time hearing. All the best

[@VSMartins398]

Limesublimes sound like a grunge/post-punk band, im loving it

[@boosuedon]

Millie, when you get to be 65 years old, listen to this song again and focus on the lyrics. Young people can not relate to how deep this song really is! As described in the song, when young, we have time to kill, days to waste staying home to watch the rain. Being ever busy in our lives we lose track of "time" and the next thing we realize is that 10 years (or 20 or 30 ) Years have gotten behind us. "Time" now begins to be more precious as we realize that our number of DAYS on earth are dwindling and there is nothing that we can do about it! Finally, old age; "Home, home again. I like to be here when I can..." Then ultimately, death; "...far away, across the field, the tolling of the iron bell (Church) call the faithful to their knees (praying) to hear the softly spoken magic spell. (Funeral service). END!

[@jeffreymeyer4848]

I listen to this song like a meditation each year on my birthday. It's cuts deeper every year with its terrible truth. Half a page of scribbled lines really is all we end up with.

[@briantempleman6561]

You need the lyrics to appreciate this

[@mocatfish]

In concert Nick Masons drum sticks glow very bright and change colors on every beat at beginning of this song.

[@kennethohnemus3192]

I would suggest you have a look at the lyrics of this song. I've been loving this whole album since 1973. This song gets more poignant every year.

[@ffjsb]

The beginning with all the clocks is all due to Alan Parsons, who was the engineer on this album. A foreshadowing of how great a musician and producer he is.

[@freedom_323]

Keep in mind that when this was released in the 70s , we were smoking copious amounts of weed, taking Acid or eating shrooms and just chilling to this music :) :)

[@pinballman1]

The Patriot is the one with the gun. God bless America

[@billn7183]

I want to add my vote for "Great Gig in the Sky" to be on your list ! Great reaction

[@johnkrauss3916]

The studio version firt.

[@James_Loveless]

Studio version first Then the Only worthy Live version The BEST Live redition from Pink Floyd's 1988 concert film Delicate Sound of Thunder of A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour 1987-1989 BEST Backup Singers EVER... Rachel Fury Durga Mcbroom Margaret Taylor ~greetings from Gotham aka NYC

[@billn7183]

Yes , the studio version !! ( first anyway )

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Speaking of time, I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather. Such a pleasure to see reflections upon things long past by intelligent young people.

[@GETTINREAL123]

Sad to see a total disconnect from the lyrics of this timeless masterpiece. Still one of my favorite PF tunes. 🤘

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

Seriously, you need to listen to the entire album in one sitting. 44mins will change your life! Your ears will bless you!

[@krisfox3537]

Everyone said it below. You need to read the lyrics too. Every word is right on. We fritter away time until time runs out. Amazing these guys figured it out at such a young age. Believe me before you know it ten years has gotten behind you.

[@brianbrown3328]

Floyd are the kings of mood music

[@joerenaud8292]

The 3 main songs within the Pink Floyd "Animals" album, "Dogs, Pigs 3 different ones and Sheep", are a great way to listen to the funkiness of this band with great meaningful lyric as well. Check them out sometime, you won't be disappointed.

[@helgebrandt9062]

My favorite song from Pink Floyd and the best lyrics I have ever heard.

[@marklunn41]

This song was the debut of the Pink Floyd “Girls” chorus Still amazing after 50 years

[@dukesterone]

It is 1973, I am 22 years old in L.A. with my two realistic speakers surrounding me while I am laying on the carpeted floor. Nobody is home, set the needle down and turned it up...my life had just changed at the last note. Got up, loaded my surfboard and headed for a late evening dip to Zuma Beach...woke up next morning with the waves crashing near by. Never wasted a moment ever since, good and bad, lived it to the fullest...still do. Do it while you can and don't regret- but don't hurt anyone. Stop and smell the flowers as well, suck it all in and when that final bell rings, you will go home with a smile...at least that's is my goal now. It was like yesterday.

[@Codex7777]

It might be worth listening to Floyd songs, with the lyrics up. They wrote some of the greatest lyrics of all-time. It felt like you weren't getting most of the lyrics. :)

[@MrAngelDevilSoul]

Pink Floyd is another level

It is always my favorite subject and to listen to your reaction, the feeling it transmits is so incredible, new subscriber 🙏🏻

Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon was the first concert that I attended. It was around 1976 in Seattle. Fantastic.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

Their album Dark Side of the Moon remained in the Billboard 200 albums chart for 736 nonconsecutive weeks (from 17 March 1973 to 16 July 1988).

[@rollotomassi6232]

"Pink Floyd has sent more people to space than NASA." - Kersten Graham

[@roy19491]

didn't you used to have longer, straight, purple hair?....this song is why the album "Dark Side of the Moon" was charted on the Top 100 album list for well over 900 weeks....I saw them live circa 1976-77.....badass show....I totally wore out 2 vinyl copies from constant play

[@ibuprofenPill]

Back in the 80’s we fried a few brain cells to this LP. Now that I’m staring 60 in the face, this song has taken a rather personal meaning.

[@stevea2639]

If you listen to the words of the song they only become more profound if you get older. If the words of this song do not hit then you are not listening. This song speaks to me everytime I hear it and don't hear it

[@debjorgo]

This has to be in my Pink Floyd top 5. None of those songs from the Wall that everybody is always recommending can touch this. Well, another Brick in the Wall is up there. Let's see, top 5. Time, Wish You Were Here, Us and Them, Money, Dogs, Have a Cigar.... Oops. I already went over.

[@stevetillcock7361]

When my girlfriend and I attented the Toronto ourdoor lakeside outsoor concert in August 94 our minds were blown. Nothing like The Who twice in TO back in the 70s before Keith and later John. I saw the WHO again here in Calgary for their 50th tour.

[@davemcbroom695]

No, ya don't havta get high to listen to Pink Floyd, but I do. You wouldn't believe how many seeds I've rolled off this album cover.

[@paulgunderson4721]

Whenever I hear the lyrics "When I come home cold and tired" I automatically add "and wet". I saw Pink Floyd perform this album, outside, in a stadium, at night, during a rain storm. Did that stop the concert? No. Did the crowd and crew and the band get soaked? Yes. As far as I could tell everyone still had a great time. And yes, "and wet" was added into the lyrics that night.

[@mikemiller3069]

Millie, you're one of my favorite nerds (and I mean that in a good way). You're beautiful and I love your reactions.

[@kokomo9764]

Babe, you really need to read the lyrics. This will mean so much more to you when you are older. I listened to this song for years, and one day it hit me.

[@Rassskle]

For all of us, life ends with The Great Gig in The Sky..... as does Time. Time and the Great Gig should always be listened to as the one song...... The lyrics to Time are as timeless as they are brilliant, yet they pale alongside the vocals to the Great Gig..... the end of Time.

[@enricviguer9560]

The alarm clocks at the beginning are, in deep, your own personal starting gun. You realize that at the end. Good reaction. Many thanks .

[@Frank-pe9pk]

This song means so much more to me today than when it first came out when I was in HS.

Music and lyrics are drugs, just like stories and dance, for performer and audience, floor and stage; 3 A.M. Eternal!

[@Buddha-of8fk]

We will give you a musical experiment to do. Listen to this song every ten years. The meaning will change every time. I'm sure you know by now Pink Floyd is by far the greatest group of artists to step on stage or in a studio.

[@J3scribe]

That transition in the middle of the solo where he slid into your DMs, and you were like..., 4:50 WHAT? Yeah, that's the band I grew up with.

[@stevenparker4684]

I really appreciate your love of old music Millie, I want to point you in the direction of one of the true genius behind the album "Dark side of the moon" And the would be engineer and music great Allan Parsons, the album I would suggest is any track from "Tails of mystery and imagination Edger Allan Poe"
