No music touches my soul quite the way Pink Floyd does and I know I'm not alone, _there are millions of us!_

[@creyes1970]

Si somos millones

[@timwilson9903]

Absolutely millions ❤

[@gettygermany]

It was part of my music class to dissect and understand every beat of it. And still that hasn't destroyed my joy for it.

[@KirkSwanum]

Yup. Even other bands love them too. The Grateful Dead played a show and did all the songs on Darkside of the Moon. Way cool, check it out.

[@javierortegavillacanas7733]

You are not alone OMG...

[@alfarero2008]

I heard Echoes in my youth. That music has been with me always. Later i heard the Pompeii version too, and it was mind blowing to me. I made a superposition of the song with footage about the Hubble Space Telescope, very much the same duration and it matched perfectly. Echoes means to me the beauty and mistery of being here, sharing this world with all people, and within civilizations, the evolution of life and the evolution of cosmos as a whole. It always makes me tear, because like everything in our existence, it has a beginning and has and end. But the travel is totally worthwhile. Sorry for my writing mistakes.

[@kathyrams]

As a a vocal coach it makes sense you are drawn to the guitar. It’s David Gilmour’s second voice. His guitar sings.

[@MisterTMH]

That clean Fender guitar sound with a compressor....... 🙂

[@andrea-v2s]

maybe his first voice............

[@trespire]

Gilmours first voice is the guitar. נשק הגיטרה

[@jamiesmama1]

Came here to say this. His wife says that when they have a disagreement, he works out his feelings by playing@@trespire

[@trespire]

@@jamiesmama1 That's absolutly believable. David Gilmoure can express more emotion and feelings with the guitar than most of us can put in to words.

[@dropbarracuda]

I haven't had tears well up listening to this song in many, many years, and I'm not ashamed to say this video brought them back. There is so much emotion in the music itself here that long before the words come in, you get the picture. Beautiful reaction, thank you for this one. 😊❤

[@stefbarone]

Same for me

[@johnlackey1244]

This is a requiem mass for Syd Barrett. You hear weeping, sorrow, lamentation, and anguish in both the music and lyrics. They lost their friend to LSD and mental illness and were haunted by the choice they had to make to move foreword as a band by forcing Syd out. One of music’s most tragic stories.

[@TheHolmesx]

No it is about Roger Waters life. The Syd is part of the songs.

[@Beth_OMette]

@@TheHolmesx sounds like you ain't got enough pork chops in your fridge.

@@TheHolmesx No! Both David and Roger said the song was about Barret.

@@TheHolmesx The Wall is mostly about Roger's life.

[@chriscalby7412]

This song is unequivocally about Sid. Fast forward a few years and the album “The Wall” was inspired by events in Roger Waters life, with an incident where Roger Waters spit at a fan at one of their concerts (Toronto I believe) being the catalyst that compelled him to create the album.

[@jaydaintith]

“It’s like the guitar’s complaining”. Wow, you’ve just described it perfectly. After all these years of listening to this song, what you said there made perfect sense to me.

[@SaltyPirate71]

This is the best look at this song on KZbin. Nobody else has had the patience to let the song develop. You're very intuitive. When you know the back story, it will make you weep before a single lyric is sung.

[@johnfloyd4166]

Spot on mate ❤

[@hans616]

In 1978 I was a sailor with the Dutch company Nedlloyd, and while unloading work in the port of Singapore I bought a cassette tape of a band I had never heard of... Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. I played this tape every night when I went to bed...turned off all the lights and in the total darkness I relaxed. Since then I have been a fan of Pink Floyd and still have all their LPs... even though I also have their music digitally.

[@Alexanderson-wfh]

Agree 100% that this is the way to listen to the Floyd (lights out, lying back midway between the stereo's speakers). i have got all of the Floyd albums, on a mix of cassette, vinyl, CD, DVD compilation, Android phone, USB stick, internal HDD, eHDD. The only copy I don't have is a self recorded video - sad I could never get to see them in person. That's exactly how I got into Trilogy, by Enigma. Listening to it when busy with other things, driving etc. Never hit the spot until I withdrew from all worldly distractions, lay on a duvet one summer night and soaked it all in from beginning to end.

[@Alexanderson-wfh]

I looked at your channel - interesting boat scenes. (Sorry to ask here, but I cannot comment on your own uploaded videos) ... How do you make a playlist including external videos?

[@branscombeR]

Must have been a bit bizarre when 'Welcome to the Machine' came on ... the underlying machine beats would have been almost the same as the giant engines vibrating through the fabric of your ship! I have enjoyed many nights on cargo vessels slow steaming across oceans. R (Australia)

[@johnfloyd4166]

Good story 😊❤YNWA

[@MarkGeraghty]

Syd Barrett never returned from an extended LSD trip in 1968. This song is about the band's sadness at the loss of their soul mate. Although his body survived, the real Syd never returned. I always think of Syd when I hear the words - "now there's a look in your eye, like black holes in the sky". A perfect description of someone who has lost their soul, and one of the greatest lines in rock music.

[@islandseeker1260]

My favorite line is "You reached for the secret too soon." Although I realize the context in the song isn't about suicide (at least not of the physical kind), I have lost a few people this way over the years and I find that word rather harsh and disconnected. Now when these people come up in conversation I prefer to say "They reached for the secret too soon..." which seems infinitely more compassionate, and causes people to think about it with more empathy.

[@crazyralph6386]

You can thank his flat mates and hanger ons for that extended trip. They used to spike Syds drinks with acid, for shytes and giggles. Poor guy, no wonder he had a hard time telling fantasy from reality?

[@johangambler]

"Syd Barrett never returned from an extended LSD trip in 1968. This song is about the band's sadness at the loss of their soul mate. " Ill just add it another time because it was so well put.

[@frankperry2874]

The acid stories are exaggerated. They didn’t understand schizophrenia back then. The acid didn’t help.

[@davidpaylor5666]

He was an acute schizophrenic, the acid wouldn't have helped (neither would the pot or the prodigious amounts of amphetamines) but poor Syd was mentally ill before he ever tried psychedelics.

[@cliffordwaterton3543]

I was 15 when i bought this on the day of it's release - I'd waited in the record shop all morning for the records to be delivered to the store (that's what we did back in the day) and I can still remember my first listen to this masterpiece. This is why I love reaction vids -- I can relive that first time feeling by watching the expressions on your face - fantastic. 😊😊

[@alansevern290]

And don't you really, REALLY miss those days of vinyl before all this download shite!?! The anticipation of purchasing the new release on single as a precursor to the album, amazing days, long gone, never to return I'm afraid as everybody want more and sooner, just no patience in the world anymore, such a shame 😢

[@pinkfloydmarch16]

Hell yeah. Good times

[@scottcarr3264]

I'm a "Floydian" as well, and I have most of their Albums, and I love seeing people React to the Voice and Colours in the Music telling the Story and the Lyrics that describe the Emotions within the framework of the song. This band were always Magic, and seeing people react to that Magic brings back all the Joy I had listening over and over again, to so many Amazing songs.

[@open_water2411]

Gives me goose bumps. It’s beautiful.

[@open_water2411]

The man on fire actually caught fire after several attempts to get the photograph. He then said no more - I believe the image used is the last take.

[@marblox9300]

Richard Wright at his best. A Classic Masterpiece that will last throughout history.

[@stevehuffman1495]

You nailed the moods perfectly. And I love seeing you laugh at the irony in the non-vocal sections. You clearly are a musician to your core

[@johnfloyd4166]

Spot on mate ynwa ❤😊

[@PMEgan64]

It’s incredible how you picked up the different parts of the story without knowing the history. This is a tribute to founding member Syd Barrett, who left the band in 1968. I always hear the soft, fuzzy, fading synthesizer and clear, crisp guitar parts as Syd slipping in and out of his madness.

[@Flum666]

Syd didn't just leave the band, he left the planet and was in orbit for a few years

[@Spludgeroo]

That's what I was about to say. Almost word for word.

[@powerlessrain0639]

[@ivanveljkovic6242]

[@josbruls]

@@powerlessrain0639I do, she's simply gorgeous.

[@carnivoroussoupspoon]

as a long time Floydian its not often that I see a "reactor" fully connect with Pink Floyd instantly. You did instantly. Its a real pleasure. I suggest the entire Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii (1972). You really cant get better than Pink Floyd playing live in an ancient Roman amphitheater.

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

As a Pink Floyd fan I never connected to them at all when I first heard them back in the day. I was more into heavy rock and pop. Floyd-type stuff came later in my evolution.

[@jessecail8182]

Both the Pompeii and the Pulse performances are incredible.

[@kenglasson2920]

Totally agree.

[@pauljohns4373]

Its already been said below but I was really touched by the way you picked up the emotional core of the track, without knowing what was behind it. An absolute classic from the Floyd playbook and such a tribute to Syd and his part in launching this amazing band to such levels of greatness. Come on and shine...

[@jamesberton1641]

Really dug how you picked up on the story of Syd. Well done.

[@danielhanson4326]

I will be 64 years old in a week. And every time I listen to this song and I tell you. It's been a lot. I tear up. I love all of Pink Floyd, but this one for me. Touch with my soul

[@clvrswine]

You should be embarrassed.

[@creyes1970]

Somos muchos....saludos

[@blake_ridarion]

Its amazing how you described the "scenes" perfectly without knowing the backstory. I'm sure the latter half of the song will become clearer once you learn the backstory of Syd Barrett.

[@stevenbelcher8830]

Probably one of the most intuitive reactions to any song I've ever seen. This young lady is the Oxford definition of empath.

[@davidl6757]

Agreed, best insight on this review. Very deep indeed. Love it

[@creyes1970]

Ve el video que hizo del te Ecos en la ruinas de Pompeya, quedó sin palabras.....me emociono su reacción

[@robertwatson2823]

Being a 50+ year Floydian I love your reaction. More please.

[@creyes1970]

Exacto creo q hay un tremendo respeto

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I'm glad you were able to take it in. Piper refers both to the Pied Piper, which original and founding band member Syd Barrett was that in a way. But it also refers to an early album of theirs with Syd Barrett called Piper at the Gates of Dawn. See Emily Play is a Syd Barrett gem from back then. Even after he started descending into mental illness and they finally had to replace him, he put out this solo double album of mostly acoustic stuff and it's just so delicious. It is whimsical and yet it hints at serious stuff and it's playful and it's so incredibly melodic and catchy. It's called And the Madcap Laughs.

[@Dan-nj8du]

Please don't hesitate to do more of these types of reactions. Especially for Pink Floyd. While they're great live, they're phenomenal in the studio. You say part of stage presence is the emotions the music evokes in the listener. I think the lack of the visual distraction allowed you to more deeply feel what was in the mind and heart of the artists as this music was created. Read the backstory about Syd Barrett and I challenge you to listen to this again and not have a tear in your eye.

[@williamhamilton6643]

I had to hit "Subscribe" after seeing the way you responded to this song. Unlike so many KZbinrs, you actually listened and absorbed the feeling of this music as it washed over you. Your intuitive sense of the music and lyrics was so satisfying to see, especially since so many reviewers stop the music 20 times to make premature comments, and in so doing completely ruin the flow of the music. I just found your channel but I'll be coming back often- well done!

[@thenortherner3890]

There will only be one Pink Floyd, and my heart is happy to have listened to them 🙂

[@daviddephy188]

Your decent, beautiful, and incredibly precise reaction without knowing the story, is performance itself. Thank you for your performance. That's how the spirit of genius works right through the our hearts.

[@bonetiredtoo]

Their homage to Syd Barrett who was a founder member of Pink Floyd but who descended into mental illness before leaving the band.

[@TMOGaeta]

non ci capisci un caxxo, lascia perdere

[@stefbarone]

It'a amazing how you could tell the story in this song without knowing the story behind it, just picking it from the music.... Pink Floyd are extremely important and essential to me, they transformed and inspired a lot of my life, and hearing you navigating their emotions on first listening reminded me how powerful and evocative their music is, the connections to our deepest emotions it has, and this brought me to tears because in your words and reactions is the reason of why they're so much part of my heart and soul. Thank you

[@sonicart1808]

Excellent analysis and reaction, you were clearly feeling your way through the song which is always a pleasure to observe and shows when someone is truly listening, I really enjoyed this thanks.

[@richardmassingham1800]

The opening lament is craft of the highest order. These guys were light years ahead and probably why their early albums still see millions. Genius band.

[@sopwithpuppy]

Probably the most insightful and SPOT ON reaction to any song on You Tube. You GOT IT! If you read every review of this track, and listened to it twenty times, you might be expected to achieve HALF of what you picked up on. Absolutely brilliant! Bravo! "You reached for the secret too soon" I think refers to the remarkable insight and vision one can achieve from taking psychedelic and mind altering drugs, that have enhanced some artistic abilities in some people, but completely destroyed others.

[@ryanrichard2736]

It’s such a beautiful piece of music and to see someone with musical expertise but in a different domain experience and understand the piece without context I think demonstrates her ability as well as Pink Floyd’s artistic execution

[@justins3810]

You were extremely accurate with your feelings hearing this for the first time. Brought tears to my eyes for a moment.

[@danaharris5357]

So amazing to be able to see someone experience this epic song for this first time. I actually cried watching this.

[@manoomac1185]

Your reaction is one of the most stunning reaction I have seen. You have this magical gift to be able to convert music+emotion into a story which actually does match the real one. I am 50, and I listened to this masterpiece a zillion times, but you still succeeded to teach me a way to decode it in a different way than mine. I am stunned: You are sooo gifted! What you just did is : take the risk to play "kind of the Voice" with Pink Floyd and then painted what you heard/felt. This is an awesome idea! You should try this again with other Pink Floyd titles. Your next should be the studio version of "Marooned", and in the same video you watch and react to the video clip. You then confront your "vision" to that special video. But, for this to work you need to avoid any risk to be exposed to this video before. I am soooo looking forward to that moment.

[@ChristopherLightfoot-zu3kb]

Your emotions literally brings tears to my eyes. I can’t think of a better comment.

[@vernhoke7730]

Bought this album back in high school in the seventies, another gem by Pink Floyd.

[@danshelp]

Knowing the backstory, I actually got chills when you said "There's a deep and sad story about to be told." Please don't hesitate to do more reactions like this. There's no question Pink Floyd has good stage presence, but I love hearing you're interpretation of their music. Syd Barrett used to refer to the color of the music also.

[@sebastienichtertz8879]

Nice to see you on Part 1to 6. Hope to see you soon on part 6 to 9

[@nardj.5277]

That's it. You listen and while listening you imagine for your self what's the meaning of the experience you make. And you are the stage presence your self! I could feel your emotions and i enjoyed your reaction very very much. Bringing me back to the moment I was hearing this nearly 50 years ago. Thanks to you. Great reaction!

[@VanMan83]

Your heart is open and your soul is pure. It is a joy to watch you discover this beautiful music... music I've known for decades.

[@BiffMan42]

Remarkable reaction (one of your best) and well done being in the moment and yet expressing what you were feeling. The best music has this feeling of inevitability about it, as if the notes have always existed and the artist just reminds of us of what we all know. Many times during that, you anticipated what was coming next and your clear delight when it happened was marvelous.

[@edpreston5172]

You bought tears to my eyes as you read the lyrics no music needed just the power of them. No words to describe the emotions being felt at the moment.

[@bobshookman6050]

Your reaction is spot on! How grateful I am to have experienced this level of musicianship during the 70’s. The 70’s brought us bands that did not try be like anyone else but instead explored the potential of what could be with music expression. Thank you for sharing your reaction. Again, it was spot on!

[@neil2444]

I'm always impressed by how much Pink Floyd can make you feel using absolutely nothing more but an incredible buildup. It's never in any hurry to start the song proper, and it never really needs to. This was also back in the days when one song bled into the next, so the experience was continual and always bringing the context of the previous song.

[@martinohyt]

We would have expected no less, but a stunningly emotionally intelligent reaction to the track. From the opening bars, your tracing of the different moods reflected in the music and catching of the essence of the story behind it was exceptional. Thank you.

[@markmarion9887]

This is both a tribute and a funeral dirge for the living. A true masterpiece. As I've heard it said, It will "bring a tear to a glass eye". Every time I've heard it for almost 40 years I get misty for all those I've known that followed Syd's fate.

[@brianmoser3947]

Watching and listening to you as you extrapulate good sax makes my day in a perplexing yet confounded way. Thanks 🙏👍

[@PowderedToastMan420]

[@balthazartrumpi6808]

The strange machine-like hum you hear at the end of this track leads into a stunning masterpiece-----Welcome To The Machine. I think you would really enjoy it. Another great track from this wonderful album, Wish You Were Here, is Have A Cigar. Hope you can get to these soon, for I enjoy your audio reactions just as much as your concert reactions.

[@martinplamondon4145]

All tracks are wonderful on that album, Wish You Were Here is for me the best Pink Floyd album.

[@mik9124]

Pink Floyd had their stage in the minds, souls and memories of those who listened to them. Their light shows live on stage took you on a fantastic journey through emotions .

[@stephenchurch9563]

When I first heard “Shine On” it was in the 70’s. I loved the music but I wasn’t mature enough to understand the full meaning of the song, now 40 years on I feel it, the emotion and appreciate so much the work and thought Pink Floyd put into this nine part suite masterpiece

[@islandseeker1260]

Same here. Every year as I age (now 62) Pink Floyd hits me in a different way, and really hammers home the sage words of Heraclitus: "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." I can't imagine a world without the music of Pink Floyd, and although I treasure my journey with them through the years, I also envy the countless younger generations who will some day hear them for the first time. This music will stand the test of time like other great composers such as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.

[@sticky70]

Completely understand that sentiment! I think you have to be of a certain age and maturity both mentally and in your understanding of music to appreciate how bloody awesome the Floyd are.

[@fernsehdesign]

when I first heard this, I was in shock. Coming from listening to Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, this opened up another dimension. And it still holds up to this magical moment after all these decades. A great piece of an extended blues.🖖🏽🍀

[@edpreston5172]

Same here. When I first got this on cassette, I played it over and over feeling the music wrap around me like a warm blanket, but only now able to understand the emotion the soul of it.

[@DerrickGuedry-e1t]

Most definitely as a kid you just can't understand how deep and how truly these guys were just something not of this world

[@flickwtchr]

From my experience, this video is received well. I appreciate your sincere and authentic reaction.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

_"Shine on You crazy Diamond"_ was written as a song in nine parts. What you covered here is parts 1-5, which is what started the first side of the original vinyl album. There were then a few shorter songs, and finally parts 6-9 of _"Shine on You crazy Diamond"_ *close* side two of the original vinyl album. When all parts are put together the full song is almost 26 minutes long. There were shorter versions made, such as appeared on the album released which was called _"A Collection of Great Dance Songs"_ (which is a rather humorous title for an album from Pink Floyd 🙂). That version includes parts 1, 2, 4 and 7 of the song, and is a "mere" 10 minutes 41 seconds.

[@damianfornelli2655]

Y love you reactions,l from argentina.

[@rusty9129]

I find it interesting how intuitive you are! The poetry is several layers deep, the music is rich and layered too, yet without any context you figured out the path of this musical journey. Really neat! Thank you for your genuine reaction. I hope that you might further your delve into Pink Floyd and share your take!

[@brandonshaw2120]

I've noticed the same thing about a lot of female listeners. Women know....they pick up on things and have intuition us men don't have! Wonderful to watch and listen to, plus I love the knowledge of music she obviously has but she doesn't show it off if it's not necessary.

A tribute to Syd Barrett, he was of the founding members of the band and gave them the name Pink Floyd after two blues artists. Syd had mental health problems and along with drug use, just kind of faded out of the band and was replaced by Gilmore. Syd passed away in 2006. It really affected everyone in the band, when he left, he was such a talented artist and well liked.

Ooh, I love your analysis style of Pink Floyd. Using colors, images, emotions. That has always been my experience with Pink Floyd. "Back in the day," we'd sit in our dark smoke filled room listening to entire Pink Floyd albums, and how you described it is how I experienced it. But it was after the, "back in the day," years that I really experienced Pink Floyd. The musicality, the incredible attention to detail, as I got older and had more experiences with music I came to recognize the wisdom in their music, as young as they were.

The journey into the mind of a madman and finding only a deep understanding for the love you feel. Each note a step closer to an awareness you never thought you could obtain.

Probably best that there wasn't a video with this song. You got to have the feelings many of us had back when this first came out, putting it on the turntable for the first listen. It was amazing seeing your reaction and how you picked up on the backstory of this song, watching you pick up the emotions the song has within the band. They never mention Syd's name in the song but it is in the title "Shine on You crazy Diamond" crazy was in there in description of Syd's sad mental demise.

Now you have to listen to the second part of this song, yes there are two sections, to complete the story.

You gave me goosebumps they way you interpreted the music before the lyrics, you were spot on. Floyd always have the deep meaning in the poem like lyrics. I wish I could remember the first time I heard this song.

This song gives me chills .... often finding myself going deep in thought as I Iisten. I often use this song as 'therapy' for tough times and inventory... and it helps

Your appreciation echoes that of those who love this music. Great to see. Inimitable genius: contribution of many composers here, yet a true unity of music. This guitarist makes the guitar sing: utterly unique.

Awesome reaction! Gilmore’s lyrical guitar-playing hits like a vocalist, only centers on the emotion without getting sidetracked with words. True genius. And very impressive seeing you picking up on the emotional messaging in the music - the crazy mix of emotions one goes through when mourning a loved one. Not dead, in this case, but certainly no longer present as he succumbed to mental illness.

Love watching reactions to Pink Floyd. Especially from women. They articulate their experience better.

[@randygabbert7831]

Pink Floyd have some of the longest intros in rock music and they draw you into each song perfectly! David Gilmore's guitar playing is so expressive, bluesy and yet bright!

[@guipe43]

I liked very much both the music and your reaction to it! Thank you for sharing!

[@clay-tw5gc]

I was amazed at at how well you picked up on this piece. A number of commenters mentioned how this was about their founding member, Syd, who became mentally ill. I know someone who was creative in their own way like Sid but who also lost all ability to function. This song became personal when that happened.

Your reaction to this has made my day! Thanx!

[@quietwoodworking]

Love your reaction! Your use of describing the different sections in colors was amazing. I hope you do more audio only reactions.

[@kevinwatts661]

I was an impatient teenager when this first came out. I started listening to the entire version in college and it never fails to give me chills. Your analysis is spot on.

[@stephaniethurmer5370]

Imo their best album. Also please look at another prog group called Renaissance. The lead singers vocals are amazing. Thank you for this one and all the other reactions

[@johnfloyd4166]

[@fantus01]

[@mae0742]

Absolutely haunting and spectacular song. From the first fadevin all the way through. If you ever get to see " Brit Floyd" in concert, this song will stun and mesmerize
