My advice to every young person. Put this CD in a player or download it. Turn out the lights, turn off your phone, lay down, close your eyes, put on a pair of real headphones, turn off your senses except your ears and mind and just lay there and listen. Feed your mind, learn some patience and anticipation, turn off all the things that don't matter for 45 minutes and enjoy an album the way we did when it came out. Realize your mind doesn't have to dart around to new topics, sounds, images, input every 35 seconds. Once it is over, all that stuff will still be there waiting for you, but maybe you won't care quite as much.

[@Jamie_McGill]

Well said…

[@averregguy9663]

Actually, these are some of the most brilliant words I have seen. With all the anxieties the younger generation faces, this may be the best way to help them reduce their stresses and live happier. Well said Matt. And yes this is true for all the Floyd albums, give yourself to them, and you will not regret it.

Richard Wright is so underrated as a keyboardist... Everyone raves about David Gilmour and for good reason, but if you listen closely you can hear all the nuances in the background that is Richard filling out the overall sound.

[@bluebadger]

But not by David Gilmour. All the great music comes from those two. I think it's true that when Rick died David said that he would never play Echoes agaijn

@SNP-1999 What a great memory! My parents also loved music and it was a part of my life from before I could read. Just to put a date on it, my dad brought home, from a business trip, the Beatles in 63. I was 5.

[@tubecoatue]

I can't tell you how satisfying it is to see a person of your generation giving a proper listen to this and so many other great works we grew up with in the 70s. You also seem to appreciate them as well, which is so great. The "Wish you were here" album has always been one of my favorite albums of all time. It's hard to describe how good the music used to be back "in the day." Thank you for giving these songs the respect that they deserve. It's appreciated. I'm so glad you and so many other young people are hearing them and understanding what can't be described in words.

[@zzjitterzz]

Part IX was primarily written by Rick Wright, and it's my favorite section of the whole song. In fact, the more I listen to Pink Floyd, the more I've come to really appreciate Rick's music. He also did "Celestial Voices," which is the last part of "A Saucerful of Secrets."

[@ALong-fo5so]

So true. Rick’s contribution is immeasurable. Totally Love it when he adds those jazzy chord extension voicings on the electric piano.

[@tomaszbielak]

i could see your tears welling up toward the end,and i was right there with you. the last couple of minutes are probably richard wright's most beautiful playing in any pink floyd song.

[@scifimonkey3]

I still remember slitting the black plastic shrink wrap cover and the smell of it as I slid out the white album cover. never did I ever drop the needle with as much anticipation and never was that anticipation so completely fulfilled. Notwithstanding how good DSOTM is WYWH has always been my favourite Floyd album. After Richards death it has taken on an even more important meaning as it is probably his best work.

[@420since1974]

Both David Gilmour and Richard Wright stated that WYWH is their favourite Pink Floyd album.

[@aazken]

Such a wonderful heartfelt reaction to yet another Pink Floyd masterpiece dedicated to metaphorically losing their friend to his issues. The part IX finale is definitely in the form of a dirge honoring and revering their friend. Thank you so much for all of your PF reactions, we who grew up with this music are elated that yet another generation enjoys such inspirational music.

[@endapian]

The last part n°9, played by Rick on the keyboard is a master piece, so sad ...... and so respectful for Syd.

[@philshorten3221]

The very last few bars Richard plays on the keyboard is the riff from the much earlier Syd Barrett Pink Floyd hit "See Emily Play" The perfect way to end this track❤

[@by_the_stone]

And to end on a major chord where the whole part IX was in minor gives it so much hope and positivity. It says the diamond will shine forever.

[@Dan-nj8du]

Also an excellent song suggestion for Stacy to experience the Syd era Pink Floyd.

[@jswimeaden2365]

I saw a documentary about Pink Floyd ages ago, and one thing always stuck with me when they were talking about this song: "Shine On You Crazy Diamond was not just a bunch of old hippies bemoaning their youth, they were bemoaning somebody that they genuinely loved."

Dear Stacey, it is very moving to see how truly overwhelmed you were by a flood of sadness and how you resisted holding back your tears while listening to part 9 of this masterpiece. It is obviously a kind of farewell to someone dear and I always thought it would be very moving music for a funeral. Thank you for this very touching reaction video.

[@willykruijntjens7172]

I totally agree!

[@LikesPinkFloyd]

It was more of a farewell than any of them had planned. While they were working on the final mix of this album an overweight man with a totally shaven head, including eyebrows, showed up in the studio. It was Syd. His appearance had so changed that it took a while for the remaining band members to realize that this stranger was Syd. Both Roger and David had known Syd since grade school, and they were reduced to tears. Nick's book includes a picture of Syd from that day. It was the last time any of them ever spoke with Syd.

[@RP_Williams]

Fun fact: Syd actually (out of nowhere one day, very ominously) showed up in the studio while they were recording this album...they said it was good to see him again, but they felt sad after because his mental and physical health had declined further, and he no longer resembled their old bandmate at all.

[@llanitedave]

Yes, it's a masterpiece. The entire album is a masterpiece. Others may disagree, but for me, the Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here were, taken together, the very apogee of the arc that was Pink Floyd. Not that the other albums were bad, not that there weren't other masterpieces, but these two albums were the pinnacle.

[@russwalker3119]

Music for your Head, for your brain, so well constructed and presented so clearly, things you would never imagine hearing ...until you hear Pink Floyd show you.

[@fbiagent6294]

Syd actually showed up in the studio while the band was recording HIS tribute. He had completely shaved his head, including his eyebrows. The band didn't recognize him at first. I think Roger was the first to realize who he was and started crying uncontrollably. Check the interviews of the band. They are very interesting.

[@iambecomepaul]

The lyrics in “Nobody Home” (The Wall), “I’ve got elastic bands keeping my shoes on…” and “I’ve got a pair of Gohil’s boots…” (they were yellow) are directly a reference to Syd (Roger’s recollections). Barrett ricochets throughout the Floyd, decade after decade, song after song… mostly as a ghost. Poor lad.

[@Upe-f9c]

The way they take their time to build up and create the feelings just gets you totally immersed.

Here we are in 2024 and I listen to PF with the same passion I did in 1972. Retired now at 66, I spend my days on my sawmill milling lumber for my projects on our 50 acres. I purchased a Bluetooth headset to listen to tunes while I’m milling. Today was the Dark Side of The Moon Album. Love your channel. Happy New Year!

Hello Stacey, I'm so glad you listened to this song. I got this album, Wish You Were Here,for Christmas back in 1974 when it first was released when was 14 years old. I grew up listening to Pink Floyd, and I also had 5 of their albums. When they record an album the do one instrument at a time and after they record all the instruments singly, in witch it takes months for them, they put all the recordings together. Sound really christal. I'm 64 years old now and still they blow my mind. Thank you so much for taking the time and listening to the 70's. YES and Genesis were really great back then.

[@father1st894]

Pink Floyd is ( Folk, Blues, Funk, Metal, Rock, Progressive, Classic) it's music that captures all emotions. It's the dark as well as the light. It's truly moving. Gilmour has been my favorite musician since I was a 12 year old and I played my uncles Darkside of the Moon album. Now I am 52. November 9th 2024 I will be at Madison Square Gardens NYC watching David Gilmour play. My first time seeing my favorite musician. Glad you have come to.love Pink Floyd. A band that can never ever can be matched.

[@robertevans2450]

This composition was morphed into what it is after Syd made his presence in the studio, but what is often forgotten is that the composition existed before Syd's return. When they came to the studio, they had an album's worth of music they had worked on doing European shows after the Darkside of the Moon tour. Most of what they brought to the studio was shelved for the Animals album, but a great deal of music made it through the selection to exist in the Wish You Were Here album. There are a lot of parts, parts that are from past tracks, past solos, and past live versions, but arranged and added to in order to get the tribute they were looking for after Syd's visit. During that visit, David said once he realized it was Syd, they had a conversation in which Syd showed him a musical riddle, and told him to let him know when David finds the solution...the myth goes that either the solution is in the track or the riddle is, and the other is in the Animals album. If I ever get a few moments with David, I will ask him what the truth is. After hearing this album and the Animals album, you can relate to why Roger was disappointed with Rick's work on The Wall album, but also see David's position that handling it the way Roger did was too far out of line, and entirely selfish of Roger. Rick was a master keyboardist, master musician, and master composer, and his work is forever going to be missed, all while we admire what he blessed us with while he was here.

[@nedelchonedelchev876]

Interesting fact is that David Gilmour supported Syd Barrett financially until his death. Genius on the guitar and true friend with big heart!

[@RushfanUK]

David was friends with Syd before Floyd, they were at college and played guitar together there and went busking in France.

[@hifibrony]

@@robertmartin8565 Absolutely correct. Dave made sure that Syd got every penny to which he was entitled. And Syd's siblings split nearly 1.7 million pounds after he passed. Dave did right by Syd.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Syd's story is very very sad. Everyone around him kept him topped up on hallucinogenics to keep his creative juices flowing. In the end, his brain fried, but the industry and the band continued to flog him even though he didn't want to do it. Then there is the infamous 'Wish you here' studio encounter with Syd that left the band in tears. He'll haunt the band forever more...

[@Summon256]

Yes exactly, there is a sense of "finality" in those last few keyboard cords played by Rick Wright, a "wrap up" of sorts as if life of a person ever could, those last few moments of "light in the tunnel" before final curtains are drawn if you will, a way of an artist to express that he is "content" and in "peace" with this sort of bitersweet finality...beautifully encapsulated by the emaculate play of the talented keyboardist! It's a stark contrast to the way it all opened with parts 1-5, you could sense this eerie almost spooky intensity about it, almost unsettling, like a tense scene in psychological horror movie harbinger of things to come! A big big shift in tone from "eerie" and "spooky" to eventually "content" and "peaceful", like an emotional evolution!

[@andyo3689]

Imagine being in a band rocketing to fame. Then, your singer, your primary songwriter, becomes so wildly erratic that his presence threatens Floyd's very existence. Old friend David Gilmour is brought in to help onstage and to cover during Syd's frequent absences. It was a combination of him disappearing and the need to keep going. Eventually David replaces Syd and the band carries guilt and relief. The Floyd recovered but never got over what Syd's absence felt like. You have this DIAMOND that was so brilliant and then the diamond becomes a lump of coal.

[@DerekPower]

Finally ... it is best to listen to Wish You Were Here as an album to get the complete experience: so Shine On (parts 1-5) then Welcome to the Machine then Have a Cigar then WYWH and finally Shine On (parts 6-9). It was split in this way because the combined length of Shine On was greater than a single playing side of a record. But it also provided a nice flow with the other songs as the entire album is part tribute to Syd, part commenting on the feeling of "absence" and particularly after the success of The Dark Side of the Moon, part commentary on the record industry (especially in Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar).

[@KandaJE]

The song in it's entirety is about life. The beginning is about youth and your rage against the machine. The last is about how no matter what, everyone dies alone. Perhaps that's why you think it so sad. You must keep in mind however what another great performer once said: No one gets out alive... Also remember that this was written by people who were still in their prime and KNEW that they had no direct experience with old age yet. You are correct. Without Sid, Pink Floyd would have been just another blues band.

Pink Floyd - Yet Another Movie. Delicate Sound of Thunder Live

[@gatuv9]

this instrumental intro is probably one of the best intros of all time

[@torstenlaumen5766]

When Syd Barrett founded the band, he laid important foundations for the band's success. Through his great creativity and genius as well as through his ever-changing interpretations during live performances, he has always given songs a different note. But it was precisely because of this creativity that he ultimately failed because of himself. I think today we would perhaps describe a character like that as bipolar or autistic. Due to his heavy drug consumption, he was unable to attend the recording sessions for A Saucerful Of Secrets and had to be replaced by David Gilmour as collaboration became increasingly difficult. The album Wish You Were Here is a tribute to Syd Barrett. He showed up for the recordings in 1975 at the Abbey Road Studio where no one recognized the fat, bloated, bald man. Security was about to throw him out when Richard Wright and Nick Mason recognized him. They said to the others "This is Syd." They talked for a while in the studio and made some music together. They then separated. This time for good. It was the last time the entire band was together.

[@hifibrony]

Schizophrenia most often manifests in the early 20s. It's entirely possible that Syd was mildly schizophrenic and that the underlying condition was blown to the moon by what amounted to a year-long (and sometimes involuntary) acid trip.

[@NaveenTimsina]

I have started listening Pink Floyd since 2013. My first song was Comfortably Numb (Studio Version). I have listened to almost all of their songs, but I found this song 1 month ago. I know the feeling when you listen to this song for the first time. It's mind blowing.🙂

Roger wrote the lyrics and Dave gave his beautiful axe sound to the whole composition. Nick was for the fist time not contributing to an album as componist anymore. Echoes was for the biggest part Rick's composition, that's why David can't play the song anymore because it was his biggest colaboration with Rick and without him it would hurt him too much to play it. Other great Rick songs are Great Gig in the Sky, Us and Them, Summer 68, Stay, or Paint Box. And not to forget he was the one that gave Pink Floyd the typical and uncomparable sound. BTW you hit the nail on the head with your comment about Part IX. Rick wrote it as the "Eulogy" and "Funeral March" to Syd.

Great reaction - this is a piece of music I have listened to all my life (I am now 51 years old) and it never gets old. You hit nail on the head - the essence to Pink Floyd is they are genuine in everything they do - and because of that they connect with us on an emotional and human level that very few , if any , other bands ever achieve. I always feel for David Gilmour - they were childhood friends and for Gilmour to see Syd’s deteriorating mental health and then being the one to take over from him must have been such a difficult thing and full of mixed emotions. With out Syd Barrett there would of been no Pink Floyd -

To me, this is Gilmour's most emotional soloing of his career. His playing in the beginning part just takes me on a ride through sorrow, joy, longing, pain and resolution. I love them and was fortunate enough to see them twice shortly after Roger Waters departed the band for good in the mid to late 80s , I think it was. Both amazing shows, of course!!

There are videos that meld both halves of the song. It's quite interesting how they atr both the same song but how different the approach is on each half that both end up in the same place for the lyrics.

when genius does a tribute to a friend you get "shine on you crazy diamond" the thought put into this artwork was masterful. like they thought about every single note yet thought out the overall vision of the work!!!

Part 9 is like a thoughtful contemplation of the flow of time and life. The infinite time and the finite life.

I was lucky enough in my youth to see them live. Unreal they are. One of the best bands ever. I was also lucky to have free reign of going to concerts. I've gone to over 100 concerts and sill going. by the way love your channel.
