Pink floyd - Dark side of the moon reaction (side 2)

[@thepragmatic6383]

The main theme of the Dark Side of the Moon album is “what drives people crazy”. If the performance required in life can drive people crazy; (Breathe). If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy; (On The Run). If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy; (Time). If the inevitable end, death can drive people crazy; (The Great Gig In The Sky). If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy; (Money). If the differences in class of people or power can drive people crazy; (Us And Them). If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy; (Any Color You Like). All of this can certainly result in; (Brain Damage). Since our influence in this world comes down to what is within our reach; (Eclipse). Even though the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the moon.

Best Description I have ever heard. I am 57 years old

[@mutantplants1]

This album was released not long after Syd Barrett had his break down and was committed. Syd was the band's lead and it hit the band hard. Much of their subsequent music was about Syd. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was specifically about him. From Wikipedia: "The record was conceived as an album that focused on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle, and dealing with the apparent mental health problems suffered by former band member Syd Barrett, who departed the group in 1968. New material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road Studios in London."

So sorry Sarah I’ve not done you justice in my previous comment, but so glad you found Pink Floyd, we can tell by your expressions that you do understand the music and don’t have to say anything during the songs, I’ve watched quite a few reactions to Floyd, and you definitely are the best 👍❤️

My introduction to Pink Floyd came in 1975, when I first heard this album in one sitting. Some 46 years later, as I've grown older.....it still takes on new meaning.

Same here, bro. I was thirteen that year, and found God, if you will, when I heard the LP. It's pure genius. There's no other group quite like Pink Floyd, that's for sure.

[@charliecochran3035]

I love Waters' take on mental illness. It's glimpsed again later, many times really, but on Wish You Were Here he says "pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there." He's directly addressing his schizophrenic friend and expressing empathy. His take is that we're all on the brink if not over it. Society makes damn sure of it. You're either crazy or you are going through life with your eyes and ears closed and simply don't care about anything.

Out of 300 reactors I roam around and listen to since 6 years or so, you are in the top 3. You listen to music, actually with real attention and thought and emotional attachment. You are very centered and intelligent, well spoken and involved in the music you hear. Brava to you Dear for being you. I appreciate your musical journey of investigation and immersion into music that is new for you. I have heard all the songs you have reacted to for decades and I must say that seeing you experience it all for your first times, and expressing your thoughts and feelings about each song, brings me back to the times when I first heard them and makes the songs fresh and almost brand new again for me. It's great. Keep going and we will all be here with you. ❤️

[@scozz6139]

Wonderful reaction to 'Dark Side Of The Moon' album Sarah! Quite possibly the greatest Rock album of all time! It holds sooo many records still today 48 years after it was released. They are truly a Legendary Rock Band. You understand Pink Floyd Sarah, that is obvious to me watching your reaction and listening to your commentary. Their music is timeless, you know many people say that about lots of music and many bands, but it is really true about Pink Floyd. Their music speaks to a persons soul, and David Gilmour's guitar is the vessel that unleashes the emotion, passion and feeling in their songs. He is a master guitarist with a style, grove and feel that is unequaled imo. The rise and fall in his soloing, mixed with pauses, phrasing and bends, has a purposefulness and emphasis about it. You feel the emotion coming from his Stratocaster guitar, like no other guitarist. If you're interested, there is a video of David Gilmour Live at Gdansk 2006, where he and Rick Wright, another Pink Floyd member, play many of Pink Floyd songs. This was the last time the two of them played together, Rick Wright died two years later of Cancer. This live Gdansk concert was in 2006, 41 years after the Pink Floyd band was formed in London in 1965. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHXPfnlvnrSDbpY Another great performance of Comfortably Numb was in 2016, 51 years after Pink Floyd was founded. Yes in 2016 David Gilmour, at 70 years of age, playing Comfortably Numb, incredible to see! kzbin.info/www/bejne/goXWloedaZ1obJo

The best thing is that you were able to listen to the full album at one sitting. There is a lot to be absorbed here. I've been listening to it since it came out. A real symbolic travel thru time, my time. Now this has been my 48th year of hearing this. Still brings new thoughts to mind. It seems to have justifiably made an impact on you.

Loved your reaction to this. I am in my 50's and every time I have re-visited this album in the last 30 odd years, it has meant something different every time and every track. Just listening to 'Money' hits me that my ambitions are so much different then when in my 20's and having gone through mental health issues certainly puts things in perspective. Such a powerful album and Pink Floyd were so ahead of their time and I am so glad that people like yourself can appreciate what they created.

[@louisskulnik7390]

My friend played Pink Floyd all the time. I loved listening to this with him back in the day, but I never got it. Then, about 6 months ago I hit a mental low point. Things got really dark. I got to thinking about this album, and Syd Barrett and his mental illness. All of a sudden one day I became a die hard Pink Floyd fan. I tend toward everything from the Syd days (Piper… and the absolutely stellar singles) up through Wish You Were Here. I love Syd. So did Pink Floyd and they never forgot him. They helped him complete his amazing solo albums before he left the business to be a middle class artist puttering around his garden and avoiding the press.

All are concept type albums, that like Dark Side are best listened to in their entirety!! They are: The Wall by Pink Floyd, Tommy and Quardophenia by The Who, Crime of the Century by Supertramp and Queen II by Queen. Like I said, no hurry, just add them to your list to get around to when you have the time and the inclination! Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@lubos1207]

Sarah, I like your reactions. It would be good to remember Alan Parsons while listening to this musical gem. Music engineer at Abbey Road, who has a huge share in the creation and sound of this entire album. Among other things, he used quad sound as one of the first during recording. There are several conversations with him on this topic on the KZbin channel. Really interesting - I recommend - you will learn many interesting things about the origin of The Dark Side Of The Moon. The interview with Clare Torry about the creation of the song "The Great Gig in the Sky" is also nice. I love this album and I love Pink Floyd - for over 45 years. Have a nice day and all the best!

[@elfedjoseph4212]

That is a heartfelt reaction to the album which was reviewed with respect and insight Sarah, thank you! Someone else has probably said it but a key element to the album is a plea for us all to be more tolerant and empathetic towards people dealing with mental illness; one of the founding members of Pink Floyd was Syd Barrett who was amazingly creative but to everyone's sorrow succumbed to the pressures of fame by turning to drugs and sinking into depression which ended his time with the band. This album and more specifically "Wish you were here" was Pink Floyd's homage to Syd.

[@dmwalker24]

Floyd created a masterpiece so densely layered, and filled with nuance and meaning, that the careful contemplation of it can peel back the layers of ourselves, and our world. Somewhat like the prism on the cover pulling apart light into its various spectral components. And whether it means everything, or nothing at all, is entirely dependent on who is doing the listening. They also created this position in the world of music for a band capable of this kind of freakish skill. A position that I would argue was taken over by Tool once Floyd had shifted out of their creative period, and towards retirement. I don't know of another group that would be able to take up the mantle from Tool.

[@keeffyg]

Thank you SO much for these videos Sarah! I've watched you react to individual tracks but to see you respond to the whole piece is something else. It's like a symphony and as such is best listened to as a whole piece. I was a 13 year old school boy when it was released and yet now that I am 61 it just keeps giving. The more I listen to the album, especially the second half, the more it resonates with my experience of life. I remember how quickly life passes, how my 'baby' is already 37. I remember the people that I have lost (especially those struggling with mental health difficulties, some of whom have taken their own lives), I remember the unfairness of life and the petitions, protests and people that tried to change things, I remember the pointless striving and wasted effort that we accept as "life" rather than simply enjoying the simple beauty of the experience. All of a sudden my life is near the end of the second side of the record - I can't even begin to describe how quickly it all happened and there are so many things that I wish I could tell my younger self. Having said that he probably wouldn't have listened! It was mind-blowing when I first listened to it - reading the lyrics with the fold out album cover on my lap. It was amazing to see Pink Floyd play it live. It was amazing to share it with my father who, at 83, still has it on his iPod. Because it's so well crafted, and because the themes are so universal, it just keeps on giving It could be the soundtrack to a contemporary newsreel - in fact it was chilling just after the 20th anniversary of the twin towers attack to hear the plane crash and the sound of people running. Obviously it has certain well-documented themes but it is such a sea of emotion that it resonates at an almost limitless range of personal and universal levels. Right now my focus is on that last line: "There is no dark side of the moon really. In fact it's all dark". We only see the side of the moon that is lit by the sun. That doesn't mean that there isn't another side. In fact, many of the "crazy" people I've known have struggled because they realise that there is another way of seeing things. Most people only see the side that is lit. A side that is, in reality, just a sea of irrelevance that stops us seeing how things really are. I recently heard the environmentalist George Monbiot say that the reason we are not coming to terms with the state of our planet is that so much of our media focuses on answering questions like "What's the funniest thing you ever did after eating a kebab". And yet it Dark Side of The Moon is still the most life-affirming thing that I have ever listened to. Lots of times! Good isn't it? Thanks again! x

I'll echo a comment below about Alan Parsons, who is a huge part of why this album is as great as it is, along with Clare Torry, who left her recording session for what became "The Great Gig in the Sky" thinking she had done the worst possible job she could--even Storm Thorgerson, whose simple design created one of the most iconic album covers in history. There are many others who contributed, I'm sure. Funny enough, the band members were often irritated with each other while making the album. In a weird way, what went into making the album were a lot of ups and downs and happy accidents, like life itself--and maybe almost as beautiful as life can be in a lot of ways!

I bought this album when it came out and still have it. Timeless

[@harlanginsberg7269]

The album is basically based on the premise that the way we have set up life it will cause insanity. The differing songs represent all the worries that lead to insanity. The album discusses fear of death the rat race mans violence against his fellow man the constant pressure to earn more money all ending in the two song finale about insanity and The Dark Side of the Moo' It's probably a little more complicated than that but I think that's the basic gist of the album. Truth is it really doesn't matter we are just lucky these 4 guys with help from some friends were willing to grace us with this masterpiece.

I love your reaction to this album. You actually listen and don’t stop every five seconds. You soak it up. It’s a beautiful album that I only heard for the first time when I was about 28 (37 now) and I couldn’t believe how incredible it was. I always associated it with older folks who went on about it and I didn’t trust them lol. Was actually thanks to Danny Boyle using the last song at the climax of the London 2012 Olympics that I truly understood what was so great about Pink Floyd.

[@GrouchyMarx]

Been a Pink Floyd fan since 1968. Watched them grow to be a very popular acid/psychedelic rock band. That is until Dark Side was released in 1973. It transformed them into a super group over night, and a legend now. A lot of good albums of theirs to explore after this one, and before it. @ 7:15 All connected is what primarily defines a "concept album" as many songs connect up or blend into each other. Same with many Yes album mentioned in the other comment. When listening to the songs separately one loses that effect. I believe it was the Beatles who first experimented with that sort of thing on their "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" album, which later inspired progressive bands like PF to do the same. I noticed there is a brief pause and a little flutter between each song on Dark Side you're playing. Are you able to hear the album flawlessly without those? One gets those when listening on a playlist , so hope you're able to hear it smoothly. ✌️😎

whenever I play "Money" on vinyl 45 at festivals in the U.K. it ALWAYS gets a reaction. The whole album can be draining, because it works on many different levels, all the emotions come into play. Hope you had some fruit juice & something nice to eat, replenish those energies for more great reactions. I have some gems saved up.

[@johnmincey606]

As someone who has everything Pink Floyd has released from their origins I can say that I pick one album every week to jam to and they never get old!!!!

[@liefde1911]

Yes Sarah, this is beautiful! Thanks for giving this to young people…….this music is my youth……thanks again!

[@SarahDengler]

"Us And Them" is pure bliss. The track sends chills down my spine and fills my eyes with tears. Brilliant!

Love watching reaction videos when people discover the greatest album ever made.

[@DrMorb1us]

Thanks for doing the whole album Sarah, your reaction was awesome.

[@SarahDengler]

My pleasure!!

[@rranger1014]

Love all of your Floyd reactions because you got soul

[@shanemorris1108]

I cant think of anything to say... except...I think it's marvelous. I still remember my first time hearing the full album 16 years ago on my 14th birthday

[@paulb4604]

50 years after it was recorded, Dark Side Of The Moon is as relevant today as it was when it was recorded. You're exactly right Sarah. It's about life....and not wasting it or missing your chances to live it.....and the ills of society and how money and power has corrupted it.....and death and grieving....it's a complete package and a true musical masterpiece. It's my favorite album and in my opinion it's the single greatest piece of music in rock history (and as you know now, it really is all one piece of music).

[@billhiggins1882]

I listen to it when I was stationed in Korea in 74-75

[@angelgutierrez2415]

The album the dark side of the moon was performed entirely in the live concert PULSE

[@robertholte958]

It is so incredible to see you echo all the things I ever felt listening to this album, thank you!!!

[@richardhargrave6082]

Thankyou, Sarah, thankyou, thankyou for reacting to this masterpiece. Its over 20 years, maybe thirty yeas since I've listened to this all the way through in two parts, as it should be (CDs ruined it by being continuous) Its amazing to watch someone dive slowly in to it and emerge, I did the same, even after all these years! The ironic thing is that I never found the time until now to listen to it all the way through. A lesson to be learned. Thanks and stay safe

[@SarahDengler]

I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much

Beautiful (reaction) video. Thank you. For me, it’s about things unsaid. Many opportunities are gone, forever. Yet many opportunities remain, if only for a fleeting moment. I once read a self-written obit; “I was born, I blinked, and now I’m gone”. - Author Unknown

[@SarahDengler]

you are so right

[@jgzeta4743]

This was my first record that I heard from Pink Floyd (This has been a long time ago). And from that first time, I was captivated by its incredible music. Other albums that you should listen to in their entirety would be: Animals and The Wall. I also recommend the song "Marooned" from The Division Bell album, it is an instrumental song and to enjoy the guitar of David Gilmour. Thanks for continuing to react to this great band.

[@SarahDengler]

Aways a pleasure, thank you for your continuous support

[@RoccondilRinon]

I’ve commented on your side 1 video too, but my interpretation (and a common but not universal one) is that the overall theme of the album is existentialism, and most individual tracks explore a different thing that can give existence meaning: in order, relationships, work, travel, time, death, money, conflict, choice, madness, and making a difference. Obviously a very simplified analysis; whole books have been written analysing the album, but there it is. Equally fascinating is how simple a lot of it is in terms of its musical basis. It has some breathtaking solos and amazing experimental soundscapes and synthesiser work, but this is also Pink Floyd at their most bluesy. Breathe, Great Gig in the Sky and Any Colour You Like are all based on the same simple two-chord vamp, which also shows up in Time. (The Floyd would pull off a similar trick on The Wall, whose main riff is only four notes long and manages to be the basis for half a dozen songs.) Yet this simple vamp ties everything together in a clear and intuitive way that more complex harmonic structures would just get in the way of.

"God only knows, it's not what we would choose to do." Based on all I know of Mr. Waters' lyrics, including solo works, I haven't convinced myself that R.Waters does not believe in God.

Superb observation of the difference between sides 1 and 2. Yet they both fit together perfectly.

[@hedonicmusic]

Hi Sarah!, one of my fav albums of all time. you are a beautiful person, cheer from Mexico!

[@SarahDengler]

Thank you so much

[@wolfeflambe]

I don’t know if there’s such a thing as a perfect album but this one is definitely a contender. Great reaction to this classic. You should check out the Classic Albums series. It has a whole episode on how this album was created. Great watch with lots of great insight into how it was made.

[@marilynwade9448]

All time favorite album.

[@Philc2]

A worry is that thinking deeply about life and confronting the problems we have can lead to a feeling of hopelessness. It is a mistaken conclusion of course and the fact that we are engaged in such a bizarre extreme version of sharing is the icing on the philosophical and moral cake. It used to be that to share like this with one good friend or perhaps a few was the method by which we shared and the best we could hope for was to leave behind a child, or a few, to carry on our blood if not our thoughts and feelings... But stories, songs, books, drama, movies ... those ways of sharing and passing along are now amplified and multiplied... Today I look and see 9 thousand views ... 690 who left a thumb... Just on this one video of one album and your thought on it, and the comments of others... Mind-blowing if you REALLY think hard about the implications...

[@pauldoan8391]

Beautifuly said I cry when I listen to this album I'm glad you feel the emotions in the music I didn't understand it till I got into my late 50s Even though I was a 12 year old when it came out when you get closer to the end of your life it is very imapacful on you . Thank you
