Enjoying the ride🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 #Pinkfloyd Here’s the video link • Pink Floyd - Time (201... I do not own the rights to this video. No copyright infringement intended.
The album Dark Side of the Moon is meant to be played in its entirety because each song blends into the next. Masterful genius! Best album of all time, IMO.
Most Pink Floyd Albums followed that formula: "The Wall," "Animals'" and "Wish You Were Here" just to name a few. Btw: "Masterful Genius" is the perfect was to describe this group.
I wonder if he'll be able to do that, though. Lots of reactors on YT are getting copystrikes when reacting to whole albums. (Some even with whole songs.) Sucks, but... :-/
Kathleen Kildare Start to finish in one unbroken listen is the way it was meant to be heard. Dark room, good weed and turned up until the bass makes your guts tremble. It will change you in your soul.
@@cajunsamgaming4061 I was on a heavy shroom trip with my brother and we listened to the whole album. Seriously life changing. I've listened to it dozens of times before all the way through but that time was just another experience entirely.
"Everyone - at one point in their lives - should get high, get comfortable, grab some headphones and just listen to Dark Side Of The Moon from beginning to end. There aren't many things like it " and in solitude, at night, in a quiet place and in the dark:)
David Gilmore said one of his regrets in life was that he never got to hear Dark Side of the Moon for the first time, because he had made it. Feel blessed, man...
@@HobbenTroutski I mean, its a beautiful album, but anyone who has made music can tell you that while making a song/album, they start hating it a bit, because they have been replaying it for so long to get it down just right and are never quite satisfied by the end result, so it makes sense for him to say that, as we just get to listen to the finished product while he is reminded of the tired, sleepless nights he had to endure working on making the album as great as it is now. (I don't personally make music, but most interviews I've seen on the making of someone's album, the artist always says it is a draining and dreadful experience, but thankfully we get to enjoy the finished product it in all its glory!)
@@HobbenTroutski man writing and recording songs is so difficult because halfway through the songs already played out to you and you can’t tell if it was ever good or not, and the sounds in your head never play out the way you thought. It’s really a pain and you can never enjoy your music like you enjoy music in general
You can’t understand.....hearing this back in the 70’s when “you are young, your life is long, and there is time to kill today”...... and not knowing...now “ten years (x50) have got behind you, no one told you when to run”! Prolific! Peace and love all my old 70’s love children!
“Ten years (x50)” haha are you five hundred years old? I’m 18 and my dad was born in ‘68. We love listening to Pink Floyd, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and of course the Beatles. I would have loved to have grown up in the 70’s if not just to see those bands live and in their prime.
@@thegreatskinkpriest8104 I was 10 when I first heard this. "And then one day you find ten years have got behind you".... words to scare the hell outta you and motivate you.
@@Paul_Halicki im only 20 years old, but already the past few years have flown by. can imagine it only gets worse over the years. a truly haunting thought
This was why I never got into Pink Floyd, I appreciate their music but it all seems so... depressing. It's musically/lyrically gifted just not something I can binge without being like "welp i'm ready for death"
@@fatjonseatingadventures5429 to me this song was never depressing. I see it as more of a cautionary tale meant to inspire. Saying don't fall into that trap
@@meleevids I heard the song took it to heart as a kid, really believed. I fell into the trap anyway. 40 years in the corporate world later, I find the song just as touching but poignant and incredibly sad.
When you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking... chasing around to come up behind you again. one of the greatest most deepest lyrics ever written this song truly is a work of art gives me chills every time I hear it and I've been listening to it for 40 years
The sun is the same in a relative way but your older .. shorter of breath one day closer to death.. that’s deep too man .. reminds me of When I’m 64 by McCartney .. now he’s passed 64 and he probably realized “ 🤯 dam I wrote that years ago and now 64 came around “
Was lucky enough to have had a dad that made sure he instilled a love for indelible music in me. He took me to see them in 1994 in Nashville. Best concert or live performance of anything I've ever seen. Time performed live in person was mystical. I was 16 years old and completely sober. Best experience ever.
I don’t think humanity can produce anymore of these classics, 70’s vibe i’d say was either a unique moment in our history or a moment that happens every 12 thousand years
Absolutely. I managed to get my hands on a copy of the 5.1 SACD version of the quadraphonic recordings. Played on my fairly nice component home theatre and audio setup, lights dimmed... it's transcendent.
"The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say..." I've always loved that line. The Floyd are timeless.... greatest band on earth
I was 31, having dropped out of college 10 years earlier. Adrift. I listened to this song at my mom's house. For me it was so true. I went back to college, graduated, went on and got my PhD, and just retired after 32 years of university teaching. And here I am, adrift again. But smiling this time, even though I hear the approaching falls I must go over.
I wonder if it always feels you ("you" as in anyone) missed the starting gun, but you track back and realise you did enter the race and raced your heart out - many different races. But somehow there's that feeling you never went in the right direction.
As a sixty year old man who grew up on this music I have to say that it still touches me to my soul. Dark Side of the Moon is one of mankind's greatest musical achievements!
watching someone hear Pink Floyd for the 1st time is like seeing a soul enter a new realm of consciousness. with most bands and music taking drugs makes the music better, but with Pink Floyd, the music makes the drugs better.
You GOTTA listen to the entire album... Just GOTTA. This album spent 741 weeks STRAIGHT on the Billboard charts, and has at least 900 weeks total on it. Multi-platinum album as well. This is one album I'd take if I were to be stuck on a deserted island.
@GoukenslayWAO just come out of your cave??? Evidently you don't know there's such things as cell phones and Ipods, and a small solar charger will easily charge the battery on one. Are you so simple that you thought we were talking about a turntable to play a vinyl record with????
It was only removed from the billboard chats because of a rule change. There was also a pressing plant in Germany dedicated to printing copies of only this album for sale. A whole pressing plant. For only this album. For 34 fucking years.
@@radioethiopiate9327 puts some perspective on the power of their message. Also, the deserted island point is a figure of speech (look that up) meant to make a point, that, if there were only so much music to listen to, this would be some of it.
The death line at the end is the most profound part of this song. "Far away beyond the field, the tolling of the iron bell, calls the faithful to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic spells."
Yes, but just by yourself. Decent headphones. Preferably in the dark. You deserve it. Do the same with Meddle! Before you know it, you'll also be into Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer! :-)
Here, hear.!!!!! My Good Man, Jamel When and only when you have 1(one)hour of some TIME(pun intended) put on some ol school headphones get in a BIG comfy chair, volume, @your discretion, then put the Fang in the Viynal and just enjoy enjoy enjoy.. take a trip and never leave the farm!!! Lololo
I'm 67 now. The sun has raced and come up behind me many times now. I am shorter of breath and much closer to death these days no doubt. The intro into this song is truly amazing with the contrast of the bongo like drums, bass guitar and the high pitched chimes. This is the music I grew up with and enjoyed. Rock and Roll from the 60's and 70's was fantastic. It was a truly mystical time to be young. But like the song says we all got caught up in daily life and chained to responsibilities from choices we made such as starting a family and choices that were already pre-set such as a career and the expected 9 - 5 job. And time was oblivious to us and passed us by and here we are in our golden years never really believing it would ever happen to us. There were many bands that had amazing influence on daily living with dynamic lyrics and guitar play like Floyd such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and others. It was a magical musical time of creativity in music and lyrics which does not exist in todays musical artists and bands. But one thing I am sure of. Because of the infinite number of musical arrangements that can be made from 8 simple notes that we know as the scale, I believe that the greatest music ever composed hasn't even been created yet. I'm sure I will be dead and buried by that time. But I know it will be an amazing adventure for those young people who will be alive at that time. It certainly was for us back then.
I don't know there is alot of really good line in that one song like "you run and you run to ketch up the sun but it's sinking, racing around and comes behind you again" and then "the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older shorter of breath one day close to death" O for gods sake damn the whole song is nothing but awesome lines...
There's a reason this album was on the charts for DECADES after its release and still holds the record. "Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988." "Upon a change in methodology in 2009 allowing catalogue titles to be included in the Billboard 200,[97] The Dark Side of the Moon returned to the chart at number 189 on 12 December of that year for its 742nd charting week.[98] It has continued to sporadically appear on the Billboard 200 since then, with the total at 950 weeks on the chart as of May 2020."
I was around back then and I can tell you why it stayed on the charts: it was considered the ultimate stoner album although it is not exactly psychedelic music (for the most part.) I don't think kids really listened to the lyrics because they are quite depressing. I played in a Floyd tribute band for about ten years - we used to do DSOTM all the way through (wasn't easy) so I know these songs quite well. And don't forget the very last words on the album: "There is no dark side of the moon, in fact it's all dark."
I remember when the album came out. I was a sophomore in high school and I took Astronomy. The teacher was in to Pink Floyd. We would go into the planetarium and he would crank Dark Side of the Moon, while explaining the stars, constellations, etc. Awesome experience. Best class in high school.
Wish You Were Here by: Pink Floyd gets me in my feelings EVERYTIME I hear it "How I wish.....how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl....year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here."
It's not that we can't... Today everything is all cleaned up so much in the studios it doesn't sound the same. Plus today's youth prefer to listen to whatever you want to call it... I couldn't tell you, I stopped listening to new music after about 1995.
There is actually some flat out AMAZING music out there today. You just won't hear it on the radio. There's so much out there now it's easy to miss things.
There is still amazing music being made today. But the styles and sounds that used to be popular are now marginalized and "niche," so you have to do a bit of digging to find that good shit under all the soulless, mass-produced, poppy bullshit.
This album should be heard from beginning to end without any pause. The bells at the beginning are notorious for scaring the crap out of 90% of the listeners.
As true as this is, any great piece of music should be able to be enjoyed separate from the album as well, and that's where Pink Floyd shines. Hearing almost any Floyd song on its own is an immersive experience, but as part of the whole album it's simply magical.
That song is a Masterpiece instruments and singing ,lyrics, everything but man that guitar something else....👍👍was 16 when my friends and I would listen to Pink Floyd ,getting high listening to this songs would take you to another level.....
I bought the album when I was 16. Still my favorite album. But to really appreciate this masterpiece you must listen to the whole album. It will touch your soul.
The clocks were all individually recorded on tape. They cut loops (yes, by hand) and started several tape machines with hand signals and recorded this in real time. This "ticking", which is heard around 01:00, is played on the bass. They had no computers at the time, all effects were done manually.
You run & you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.. racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older - shorter of breath & one day closer to death. WOW. That haunted me when I was a kid in the 70s but now it makes it real man. Classic song forever. Jamel, love your sincere appreciation of great music. Keep it up brother..
I consider it the Mount Everest of female vocal performance. Thought it up in 5 minutes and nailed it in one take. Now THAT's legendary. Little Claire Torry.
I’m a 63 year old woman and I just love watching your reactions to the greatest music ever written. I had the Pink Floyd cassette of “The Wall” and played it so much the tape snapped! I had to go out and buy another..The concerts from those days were magical. Keep them coming,
I’m 67 and I watch just about every reaction loved the Grand Funk inside looking out lol . Remember people our age heard these songs first time on radio , AM the FM one speaker in your car lol
Hahaha just loved watching your expressions whilst reacting to this piece of genius music. The lyrics here are best you will ever hear put to music in my opinion. Floyd are numero uno.
OMG! After all the years of listening to this song, it only just dawned on me that the drums are tuned, and are playing the bass-line at the beginning. So much brilliance is hard to absorb, even after 45 years of loving Pink Floyd. Thanks for this, Jamel!!
My son has autism... He is 8 going on 9. When he loves something especially in an audio format he stims. When I 1st laid down this track for him in the car, he stimmed so hard that I thought he was having a seizure and had to pull over and check him. So when you hit stank face maximus it just made my heart happy all over again. I love this page.
@Hydin Biden sure. It's a good thing. When my son stims it's an overwhelming sensory activity ...pure happiness that comes out like a gazelle that just escaped a lion. So when he heard this song he did that nearly the entire time and made that "stank face maximus" much like Jamel did during the song. So seeing Jamel hearing this and have that facial reaction made me happy all over again. The power of music.
I always love the reaction to the beginning of the solo. Whenever I hear “you missed the starting gun...” I know a first time listener is about to have their brain melted.
"'And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death" Just wow.
First heard Dark Side of the Moon when I was 14 and my aunt and cousins and I drove up to Northern Wisconsin from Chicago. We listened to the whole thing on a loop over the hours that it took us to drive there. No one spoke. I felt like I time-traveled on that drive and had been 'somewhere else' for the whole time we were in the car. Y'know, like how people have missing time when they're abducted by aliens?
The series of lyrics that best explain this song & the album is this, " And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death." Deep shit! Something to think about. The whole song is perfectly written
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." A few years ago i was working with a therapist about some of the unresolved issues of my earlier life. One day listening to Pink Floyd (who i've always known about - I'm 53), this song was playing through my earbuds and when these lyrics came up.........it was though some of the question of my earlier life were finally being answered. What's the phrase? - Same song but with a different meaning.
All except Roger Waters, he was just a master wordsmith and conceptualist with a great sense of timing, but his playing abilities with regards to playing instruments was nothing more than average at best.
I was twelve years old the first time I heard Pink Floyd. My brother was a few years older than me and would watch me listening to The Beatles 24/7. He finally said "Bro, I know you love The Beatles and they're an incredible band but I want you to listen to something different with me but you have to promise me you'll listen to the entire album." I was like "ugghh, fine dude just put it on." He put on Dark Side of the Moon. It was like my entire world changed in that forty-two and a half minutes. Now I still love The Beatles and I always will but that one defining moment changed the way I looked at music forever. It got me hooked on my second favorite band ever and then he had the audacity to put Zeppelin on the turntable and fuck my mind up some more. The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin still my top three today. Thanks brohan. Love you man, miss you.
Mike K my first was The Wall. I bought it at a yard sale in 1985 for $0.50 and still have it. I won’t buy a receiver without a phono input because of my Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin collection.
Jamal...you listened to one of the greatest solos, in one of the greatest songs, by one of the greatest guitarists, Davis Gilmore. I can hear that 1,000 times and it's fresh each time. Keep up the excellent reactions J!
The 1st of March 2023 is the 50th anniversary of the release of Darkside of The Moon .. I also turn 50 this year. By the way, your t-shirt was perfect for this review .. IT'S ALL GOOD 🤩 We all discover this masterpiece in our own way, on our own journey .. on our own TIME ⏰⏳🕰️ I love Marvin Gaye, Sam and Dave and Otis Redding. Love your channel!
