Yes, they come from an age when people did feel that it was perfectly okay to let things that mattered "take their time", an age that seemed to have open horizons and was much less thoroughly commecialized than today. Their songs are like journeys, or moments from a journey, even when they are not this long, The film "Zabriskie Point" where the Floyd contrbuted music captures the same spirit...in a way that's also patallel with "Easy Rider", made around the same time - a film where the Floyd were not involved but which certainly infleucned them and the entire generation. My own childhood overlaps with those days, so I still feel rooted in some of these attitudes, that approach to time and understanding - and I can barely remember a time when the sounds of the Floyd (Gilmour's way of playing the guitar, for example) were not part of my personal world of music.

The strength of this piece lies in the combination of timeless composing and modern sounds and technology. When you look at the score it might as well have been composed by Britains' great 17th century composer Henry Purcell. It would sound as strong with instruments of those days. That's why I don't like the freaky saxophone solo, it's totally out of place.

Stacey. What you asked about, "Is that a trumpet?", isn't, actually. That is the amazingly accomplished Richard Wright on the keys. Synthesizers and electric pianos, etc... (He, like the rest of the band, is as good as it gets. Period.) Outstanding reaction. Really really enjoy your channel and, most importantly, your reactions. Especially to the greatest band of all time, (Imho), Pink Floyd. Keep up the nice work/channel! Proud to be one of your loyal subscribers. 😎😎👍👍 PS. The song was written about Syd Barrett, an original founder and guitarist of Pink Floyd who unfortunately developed some pretty serious mental problems made much, much worse by taking large amounts of acid, (LSD), and whose eyes ended up like, "Black holes in the skies" The band missed him dearly however, his ability to not function with the mental illness and, all the acid, was the final nail that pretty much forced the band to remove him. Replacing him soon after with David Gilmour, who I personally believe stepped in and has been a solid rock for the band since he entered. Gilmour is my all time favorite guitarist, straight up! Have a great weekend!

The Floyd probably went further with David than they would have with Syd, be he well or not. Their story is one of the most unique in the annals of rock. To start out as students with an enigmatic front man in mod London and end up mining his decline for mindblowing sonic classics until the rift is fascinating. Had Syd remained hale and sane, I wonder how their sound and story would have progressed.

As others have already pointed out, the song is written about and dedicated to founder member Syd Barrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after dealing with mental problems and substance abuse. On 5 June 1975, Barrett, now heavyset, with a completely shaved head and eyebrows, wandered into the studio where the band were recording. They did not recognise him for some time because of his drastically changed appearance, but when they eventually realised who the withdrawn man in the corner was, Roger Waters became so distressed about Barrett's appearance that he was reduced to tears. When asked what he thought of the song, Barrett said it sounded a "bit old". As it would turn out that would be one of the last times they’d see Syd alive. 😢

At the time when the album came out in 1975, the reviews were mixed - many journalists seem to have felt that the sound had become too polished and lacked a "rock'n'roll edge". Also, the Floyd were now known as one of the most ambitious of all rock bands and with punk around the corner, some people were not okay with that. But in retrospect it's clear that WYWH is one of their true masterpieces, a groundbreaking album and one that touched many people in some very personal spaces (especially the two "Shine On" suites)

@@olddodgegarage530 Yes, I've always loved the album (and the Floyd in general) but this is a "journalists tic" - it came out just a year before the breakthrough of punk rock, and the Floyd were already being dubbed one of the typical "rock dinosaur bands", along with Yes, Zeppelin, Wings and others. The production was very polished, or "careful" for those days, and I guess people who wanted a more stripped-bare, basic and ruthlessly aggressive sound would have disliked it.. Ironically, the Floyd did get back to a more aggressive and filthy sound on their next album, which was recorded in 1976, but that didn't help their standing with the punk generation.

Hey Stacy, I wanted to share something profound that resonates deeply with me. During the sessions for "Wish You Were Here," Syd Barrett's unexpected visit to the studio was one of those rare, surreal moments that transcends words. Rick Wright captured it perfectly when he said, "Call it magical, call it karma, call it destiny, call it whatever-it was something very powerful for us for him to walk in while we were creating that particular track." Syd's presence added an indescribable depth to the recording of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," making it a moment of pure, emotional synchronicity for the band and for all of us who feel the weight of the music. The hardest part was when Syd asked, "Is it time for me to play the guitar?" It was a deeply touching and heart-wrenching moment for the band. Cheers and Thanks again!

“Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is a song by Pink Floyd that spans over two parts and nearly 26 minutes in length. The song was released in 1975 on their album “Wish You Were Here.” Widely considered a masterpiece of progressive rock, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is known for its haunting melodies, mesmerizing guitar solos, and introspective lyrics that speak of loss, isolation, and fame. At its core, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is a tribute to Syd Barrett, the former lead singer and guitarist of Pink Floyd who left the band in 1968 due to mental health issues. The song’s title is a reference to Barrett’s nickname, “Crazy Diamond,” and serves as an ode to his artistic brilliance and tragic decline. The lyrics speak of a man who has lost his way in the world, wandering through the ruins of his former self and trying to make sense of his shattered dreams. Musically, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is a tour de force that showcases the band’s technical virtuosity and creative vision. The song is structured around a series of repeating motifs that build and evolve over time, creating a sense of narrative progression and emotional intensity. The guitar work is particularly noteworthy, with David Gilmour’s soaring solos and atmospheric textures providing a haunting backdrop to the song’s introspective lyrics. One of the most striking features of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is its use of dynamics and contrast. The song moves seamlessly between quiet, reflective passages and thunderous, explosive crescendos, creating a sense of drama and tension that keeps the listener engaged from beginning to end. This dynamic range is further accentuated by the song’s production, which features rich layers of instrumentation and a spacious, ethereal sound that draws the listener into its world. In many ways, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is a reflection of Pink Floyd’s own journey as a band. Like Barrett, the band struggled with the pressures of fame and the toll it took on their mental health and personal lives. The song speaks to the universal experience of loss and isolation, and its enduring popularity is a testament to its timeless appeal. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is a masterpiece of progressive rock that showcases Pink Floyd’s technical prowess, creative vision, and emotional depth. Its introspective lyrics and haunting melodies continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a classic of the genre and a testament to the enduring power of music to speak to the human experience.

This is the band's emotionally powerful tribute to their close friend and original lead singer, guitarist and main songwriter, Syd Barrett. He is the one lovingly referred to as the "Crazy Diamond." Despite his charismatic personality and unparalleled creativity, Syd suffered from a combination of undiagnosed schizophrenia, heavy LSD use, and unbearable pressure from the record industry to crank out hits...to the point were he basically could no longer function in the band or in society.
@nazfrde

Or at least he didn't want to. Some people who were there at the time say that Syd just got tired of the show biz merry-go-round and just walked away. We don't know for sure, though the conventional interpretation is likely to be correct. One of the strangest (and most heartbreaking) parts of the story is that, while they were at Abbey Road studio recording this, they were standing around in the control room between takes and there was suddenly this bald, fat person there who nobody recognized. It slowly dawned on them that it was Syd, whom they hadn't seen in 2 or 3 years. He had changed so much in such a short time nobody knew him. Nobody knew why he was there or how he got there, but he seemed to think he was meant to be there to record with them. One of the engineers had to give him a ride home to Cambridge.

The late Rick Wright is emphatic in his belief that it was LSD that caused Syd to snap. In various interviews over the years he has stated that the band was scheduled to play on a BBC TV show on a Friday night. Syd never showed up and when they found him a few days later Rick said he was just a completely different character. Rick noted that Syd had started hanging with some of the Timothy Leary crowd prior to that, who believed LSD was the way to the 'Truth', and Rick is convinced he did too much LSD at one time and snapped. I personally saw this happen to a friend of mine, so I tend to agree with Rick. He does acknowledge that there is no way to know if that is the actual cause, but people who suffer from other mental issues may be more prone to the side effects of LSD. Also, there was really no studio pressure on the band in 1967 to produce hits. Although the band began to receive more recognition after Meddle, it wasn't until the release of Dark Side Of The Moon in 1973, and that album's massive success, that the band began to receive studio pressure. The band's struggles to even get started recording theirv1975 album Wish You Were Here is well documented, because the massive success of DSOTM began to pull band members in different directions, and made it difficult to get everyone writing and recording. And the band took clear shots at the studio, their management, and to some degree, each other, with songs like Welcome To The Machine and Have A Cigar.

He definitely didn't walk away from the showbiz or public lifestyle, because he formed another band for a brief while & was quite well known as a painter. The night Syd left the band wasn't his choice, one night the rest of the band were in a car heading to rehearse. Syd had been declining for a while & getting worse by this point, one of the band asked 'Should we go get Syd' to which one of the others replied 'let's not.' Nobody questioned it, and they never picked him up ever again.

I agree that it is one of the greatest songs ever to be recorded, but "greatest"? How can you possibly differentiate it from being better than Us and Them, Great Gig in the Sky, Time, or even Kashmir by Zeppelin or Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel. In my opinion there is no "greatest song", only a greatest song for your mood at the time, as there are to many great songs (no coincidence that all of them were recorded before today's disposable flavor of the month industry standard) to enjoy at the right moment in time.

I remember the first time I heard this song. On a small radio in our country house. I was about 13 - 15 years old. And I couldn't stand up. My whole being was filled with melancholy joy and awe, somehow I fell in love with love, or life. All the dopamine in the whole body went into high gear. I didn't know what kind of song it was and I didn't know how to get it. For years I tried to explain and get someone to understand. Finally I understood that it was Pink Floyd, which I barely knew what it was. And searched, and listened through records. And learned to love Pink Floyd at the same time. And then I found the song. So lovely to see you experience it for the first time, and you seem to have felt much like me. Such a nice and beautiful reaction. Thanks.

Floyd played a huge part in helping me discover, manage, and eventually repair my psyche as the decades passed. Now, I reminisce on all the phases of my life, and how Floyd affected them all, with a profound sense of poignant gratitude. In my late teens and early twenties, as a Marine in foreign countries, trying to remember home. In my mid twenties, nights in the woods, miles from anyone, alone with a fire. Maybe my dog. Watching the moon cross the sky. Knowing I was so deep into the wilderness that it was just me and Floyd free to cross the cosmos without interruption. Maybe on LSD, shrooms, drunk, high or stone cold sober. All the things. Floyd creating a depth of experience as only they could. In my late 20's and early 30's, when it all went bad. Hanging on to Floyd like a life raft. Now, at 56, I know so much more about myself and how I perceive reality that it makes Floyd even more powerful to me!

It's wonderful that someone as young as yourself is moved so emotionally as I have been by so much of Pink Floyds work. This song is especially moving and has been given the full Floyd epic treatment as it is such an important recognition of the tragic loss of a special mind that once led their earlier work. I don't know if you know this part of the Floyd's history, the Syd Barrett, early years. I get emotionally overwhelmed at times with their catalog and have a long connection to them, having been listening to them since 1973 when DSOTM was first released and was bought and brought to our home when I was 15.. they have been one of the main contributors to the soundtrack of my life. This is what separates Pink Floyd from pretty much every other band out there... their emotive power. Thank you! Your soul just shone through...

I love watching someone reacting at a first listen and re-experience that treasureful moment myself, again and again. I knew where this reaction would go when I witnessed you noticing the first two chordchanges in the background motiv underneath the guitarsolo in the first part. You have the power to recognise musical emotions, as they are unfolded. The way the guitar tells a painful and heartwrenching story is just phenomenal. Pink Floyd are musical wizards that entrance and overwhelm you. Like hypnoses does almost. I will follow your journey through their realm with happy anticipation and subscribed. I wish you many happy Pink Floyd returns, Stacey!

I like your comments at the end. I've been listening to their musical for decades trying to explain to myself how they hit me like they do. I have had this album on repeat for weeks in the past and it can still bring me to tears at times. The best way I can describe it was when I first went to Hawaii and it was December. It felt so offputting just walking into the ocean like it was a lukewarm bath. My brain couldn't process this oddity while at the same time feeling joy being in such a warm beautiful ocean. And each wave that hit felt like it was getting higher and higher (although it wasn't), and each wave felt more peaceful than the previous. I remember thinking how much more of this can I stand? That to me is a Pink Floyd album. So enjoy this new journey, you are amongst many such travelers. It's a strange journey mixed with pure joy of their music mixed with the melancholy of their message. A majority of their songs and their albums are about Syd.

After Dark Side of the Moon, they started making an album with the working title Household Objects. It was only going to be things found in a kitchen or house, no traditional instruments. Thankfully they abandoned that plan but one thing they experimented with that they used was rubbing on wine glasses with different amounts of liquid in them. They got them all tuned to the right notes, and at the beginning of this song part of what sounds like a keyboard is actually those wine glasses. Also, Dick Parry on the sax also played on Dark Side of the Moon, The Division Bell album, live at the Pulse tour in 1994, and with David Gilmour live shows from 2002 to 2008. I’ve always considered him an unofficial member of the band. Syd actually showed up at the studio when they were recording this. They didn’t recognize him at first. That in itself is a fascinating story. You could say that most of their work after he left the band was a tribute to him in some way.

When segment one is closing out there is suddenly this discordant four notes. Somehow those four notes hold you spellbound and then morphs into another portion of the song and I can't wrap my head around the way those four notes herald the coming rest of this masterpiece. The two sacs and the time change with the arpeggios backing it deliver the most sublime feelings of joy and remembrance. I was waiting for you to get to this piece thanks once again.

I first heard this LP when I was 15. I'm 58 now, and it's still one of my all-time favourites. I never got to see Pink Floyd in the flesh, but I still remember watching the 'Pulse' concert on BBC late one night: mind-blowing stuff! Then, later, when all four of them stood together for the last time at the Live 8 gig, I was watching in the pub with a group of friends. I cried! One young lad sitting nearby said, 'My dad was right - they're pretty good.' Faint praise indeed from an Emo kid. When the V&A Museum in London hosted an exhibition based on Pink Floyd's career, a few years ago, my friend Clare and I went together. Like you, she was relatively new to their music. The penultimate exhibit was the Live 8 footage of 'Comfortably Numb' projected on a huge screen with surround sound. The final exhibit was a photo of David Gilmour, Richard Wright (who had died by then) and Nick Mason, just sitting in the studio between takes and laughing the way old friends do. I came back into the atrium, where Clare was waiting for me, and I was in floods of tears because I knew I'd never get to see the finest rock band who've ever been. I'm so glad you enjoy them as much as I do - and their music will live forever as long as we keep turning people on to it. Thanks so much for sharing your first dip into 'Wish You Were Here'.

He took the first names of 2 musicians by the name of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. David Gilmour and Roger Waters, bass player up until the 1980s, would disagree at times, but there was always a love and respect between them. There is a RU-vid video of a reunion concert in 2006 where Roger came back and joined them for that concert. It was a fundraising concert.

Although it's one of the longest intros, you love every second of it. It's one of those songs that can literally help you shut everything else out. Because of the emotion of David Gilmour's guitar and then the meaning of the lyrics, your heart really goes out to Syd. When he had to leave the band, the rest of them didn't just shut him out and ignore him, and that is true friends.

This was from a time when we bought a new album and played it in its entirety. For me, it was lights off, headphones on and, occasionally, a spliff in one hand. Music, and certainly Pink Floyd, was a journey to be savoured. We made the time to enjoy every nuance and emotion each song and album brought to us. Music was far more than what's it's become, where every modern song sounds like every other modern song, with no intelligence to lyrical content nor even to the art of being able to play an instrument.

Born in 82 and got to listen to this at parents summer get togethers. Nothing is forced, it's just magical. I'd come home from school after being bullied beat down and broken and just disappear into this. Seeing your reaction to the music I literally feel every emotion you do and it's pretty cool seeing the exact thing that I do when I listen to it.

I really like that you´re reacting to his song. It´s my favourite since seeing Pink Floyd live in 1994.

That trumpet sound you heard was actually Richard Wright on the synthesizer keyboard. Love your reactions to these classic journeys. Music is supposed to be emotional ❤

20 years ago i used this as my alarm to wake up for high school, and it was already years old at that time, and i still think it is one of the best pieces of music ever invented
