@@THEJAYYSHOW be forewarned....it's an emotionally draining experience, and I have loved it since 1980. A little research online before you listen will help with it's storyline. Same with the Floyd's Animals album
@@THEJAYYSHOW If you want to see something really bizarre, try to find a copy of Dark Side Of The Rainbow. (Hard to come by now, I had the DVD many years ago) If you synchronize the Wizard of OZ movie (original) and cue the DSOTM on the second roar of the MGM lion, they will sync up. It is called synchronicity. There are all kinds of hidden gems of Pink Floyd, behinds the scenes and trivia, well except Floyd fans know most of them.
@@THEJAYYSHOW You'll enjoy Wish You Were Here the most out of the rest of the works of Pink Floyd. It is a tribute to founding member, and loony toon, Syd Barrett. I honestly believe had Syd not lost his marbles they never would have hooked up with David Gilmour and would have never been as big as they got.
Agreed, I envy her as I will never be able to experience it for the first time again. But I would also never trade the memory of the first time I heard it when it came out when I was 15. We experienced it my Buddies basement, it took us the whole night....what a freaking blast!!!!
One of the best albums ever made. A journey through the whole human experience. Birth, the choice of whether to take it slow or to always keep moving just to acquire material things, human conflict, lapses into insanity, death. Masterpiece.
@@radbarij maybe putting the negatives to song is their way of providing a catharsis to the negative stuff we don't generally like to think about. To me Wish You Were Here, Animals, and DSOTM are equally worthy.
I still have a copy of DSOTM on CD from the 90's and it still gets played 🤘 2 great albums came out the year I was born: This one and Houses of the Holy 🤘 Saw Pink Floyd at the Silverdome in 94 during the Division Bell tour and Roger Waters during the Dark Side of the Moon tour 2006 at the Palace of Auburn Hills - He did this entire album 🎸 Good Times with my late friend Craig. Remember when CD'S would show how they were recorded / transferred? It was either aad, add, or ddd from analog to digital or complete digital - Am I or you that old? Lol
That "whole other place" is you. It is your subconscious. Those thoughts and feelings drifting at the periphery. The itches you can't scratch. The actions you regret. Your greatest fears. Your proudest achievements. The people you love. Great reaction! Thank you for inviting us to come along.
@@kimberlystankiewicz2529 you have not lost them , they will always be in your heart and always in your memory......i go visit my mom and dad and brother most nights in my dreams..they are gone in body but are always here with me, just like the ones you have lost....stay strong and stay safe.
Its wild to see someone's mind get blown. You wait for it. I couldn't wait for you to hear Great Gig in the Sky....it was a brutal wait and I loved your reaction. ✌🏻💗
The heartbeat at the beginning is the beginning of life and the heartbeat fading at the end is the end of life. A path we all must take, only time and method defer.
I always felt side 1 and 2 had two distinct themes. Side 1: Birth, Life, Death. Side 2: Society, and mental health. Polyphonic has a very good 9 part series dissecting each song from the writing, instrumentation and themes. Highly recommend.
"And if the cloud bursts thunder in you ear. You shout and no-one seems to hear! And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon!"
Jayy, I was a late bloomer to pink floyd. 80s teen who had the Wall album without a clue of what I missed with Dark Side of the Moon...until my friend took me to a laser show of the album.
I explained the meaning to side one of "Darkside of the Moon" on her reaction to side one if you want to read that first. As I said on the first side, this album takes a person's life from birth until death. After listening to the feeling that you never have enough "Time" in the day or in life in general and exploring the fear of death in "Great Gig in the Sky", Roger Waters then wrote about "Money" and the fear of never having enough money, but working hard to have it even though it is considered to be bad to be too greedy, but rarely willing to give any of it away. Then we move into "Us and Them", which explores war and how there are generals ordering people under their command on both sides to fight and kill each other when the people fighting each other on opposite sides have more in common with each other than the generals ordering them to fight. But out of a feeling of patriotism they hate each other because they are not on their side. Now our character is experiencing more of life in "Any Colour You Like" and eventually comes to "Brain Damage" where he is coming across people who think completely different than him like the lunatic who is on the grass even though the sign says to stay off the grass, which doesn't make sense since grass is made to be walked on and the lunatic is showing him that he should not stay on the path because grass is made to be walked on and he has always followed the rules, causing confusion as to what to do. Then he talks about the lunatics in his hall in the newspaper that holds their folded faces to the floor and everyday the paperboy brings more. These lunatics are now in his head, they raise the blade and make the change in how he is thinking and rearranging his thinking until he realises these lunatics are right and now he is finally sane. Waters also is talking of their previous band mate, Syd Barrett, who suffered from Schizophrenia and did too much LSD and lost his marbles and was a brilliant singer and songwriter before losing his mind and is also one of those lunatics who showed them different ways of seeing the world as well. But now our character finally understands what is truly important in life and expresses those epiphanies in life in "Eclipse". He finally gets it at the end of his life and then he dies as his heart beat slowly fades out.
The moon does not shine. Whichever half is pointed toward Earth is reflecting the sun's light back at us. The other half is in total darkness. There really is no Dark Side of the Moon as the voice says at the end... "as a matter of fact it's all dark" (but for the sun). It's up to each and every one of us, depending on our choices, to look up and appreciate either the darkness or the light. A metaphor for all our lives.
@flubbert There is only 1 side that ever faces us. That is why the other side is referred to as “The Dark Side of the moon” No one has ever seen that side.
@@douglasgonzalez7561 yeah I guess it does doesn't it? But in a manner in which we ever only ever see one side of it ever. Making it appear to us as if it's not rotating at all. Kinda mystifying.
@@flubblert Indeed. That one blew my mind when I learned that everyone has only seen the one side, and it’s been exactly the same for our entire lives. The idea that the rotation and revolution could be so exacting just mystifies me. That level of precision, in nature, would seem to be virtually impossible, but it is what it is.
Dark Side of the Moon became one of the best-selling albums of all time and is in the top 25 of a list of best-selling albums in the United States. 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.
You’re my favourite reaction video platform. Love your sound, that you don’t interrupt songs and the fact that it’s so clear you are enjoying yourself. Thank you!
This album is absolutely meant for a personal interpretation. It's about our fears, our worries, the things that divide us. You'll get more from it every single listen.
As someone growing up with Pink Floyd, it is so wonderful to see younger people discovering, and appreciating what a brilliant band they were. Thank you Jayy.
Pink Floyd is always like an out of body experience, takes you on a journey. Greatest album of all time IMHO. What other album has been on the Billboard 200 charts for over 900 weeks?
Even though I know the songs by heart, I get full body goosebumps with eacht high and low of every song and change in the songs. Thank you mom for going to a Pink Floyd concert while pregnant of me and keeping this legacy alive. I remember sitting beside the old record player, listening to all the records you had of this magnificant music.
There will never be another album that will think so many different things, I’ve been listening to this for forty odd years and still enjoy, and love the reactions from younger people discovering THE FLOYD 👍👍
The song brain damage was originally titled lunatic. Roger Waters wrote it thinking of one of their other bandmembers Syd Barrett who eventually lost his mind.
Yesssss!!!! Definitely do Meddle in it's entirety. It was the previous album before Dark Side of the Moon, when they found their signature sound. The whole album is just great. Check it out.
Just always been awed not just by the talents required to play all of this, but the minds that start with nothing and then create... THIS! Been listening to this since it came out almost a half century ago, and it still makes me soar, cry, comforted, agitated, blissful... it's just amazing. :
Great reaction Jayy. It truly is an experience! I was fortunate enough to see them perform the whole album live in Liverpool, England , in 1972, when I was an 18 year old student! I love Queen, Led Zeppelin... but Pink Floyd will always be my favourite band of all time.
Jayy , love your Reactions .. first heard " dark side of the moon " when i was 15 , now 62 and is still One of the best Albums i have in my collection .. Masterpiece .
This Album is Life. ❤️So fun watching u accept and absorb and feel it the way it’s meant to be . Not question it . Just feel it and live it and experience the magic that leaves everyone speechless and floored upon every listen . I can honestly say I’ve heard this album over 100 times . Am still moved and in awe of every note and every line and every goosebump I get during each listen . Thanks for the joy of watching u feel Floyd ✔️
The album in a constant cycle with heartbeat at the beginning and on the fade out at the end. A masterpiece album that stayed in the top 200 on the album bilboard charts for 17 years or 700 consecutive weeks . The most of any album,even the Beatles didn't come close.
There's my sub. 😎 "Us and Them" hit you EXACTLY how it me the first time too, girl. And then you got to "Eclipse" and I KNEW. Welcome to the club! There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, its all dark....
Hal, you are onto something. I agree and I've decided it's fantastic that we enjoy it so much. It means we're good. We have decent hearts. We like seeing people happy.
Thank you. Love watching the music affect you. Try to think back to my own reactions decades ago to all these old tunes. Time... wow... glad you still have so much. Me, no have so much, but it has been a pretty good ride. Music is such a blessing and magical.
I just came across your channel and I love it. I like that you give genuine assessments of the music and don't come out all shocked because it freaks you out. I have seen other "first time" video's and what do they expect. You go in with an open mind and really allow the music to take you away. I like it very much-thankyou
24:57 What you are feeling & trying to say, Yes, that is the Reaction that we ALL have experiencing this album for the first time! It's definitely hard to explain but it IS an emotional experience in my opinion.
One of the ways they made the money sounds was by throwing a load of nuts and bolts into a food mixer. The clocks going off was an tech demo the producer had made for his own amusement previously. There is a subtle pitch bend on the long last note of "The Great Gig In The Sky" where they pinched the recording tape with fingers to slow it down which made the playback bend up. They did all kinds of crazy things.
For a trippy sound and visual experience, check out Dark Side of the Rainbow, or Dark Side of Oz, which are The Wizard of Oz with the soundtrack replaced with Dark Side of the Moon. Seeing the Munchkins dance to classic Pink Floyd really says it all.
Watching the interplay of emotions crossing your face as each new sound hits you, was something else! And you looked shell-shocked at the end, an entirely appropriate reaction to a phonomenon that will probably never be repeated or equalled in the world. Thanks for sharing.
Best React EVER! I Love You! Some things cannot be faked, Your reaction is priceless...just like YOU! Keep on Lady! I love watching reacts and I have seen plenty, but you just let it happen, was so priceless...Thank You!
The moon only shines because of the sun, as we do. We are only living because of the sun energy, but when our times passes, all is left is our dead body, and the ''light'' that used to give us energy will be gone, lefting behind only dust. As a metaphore, we are the moon. We shine when alive, but we return to our dark state the time death reach us. The dark side of the moon is an illusion that makes the human being think humanity is something bigger than the nature around us, but in reality we are only part of it. We are only dust from the beggining. The thing that make us live and that give us energy is the nature, and the sun. When the album ends, you can hear a slow heartbeat untill it stops completely. That lunatic person from Brain Damage was expecting to see the dark side of the moon, but he concluded it was all dark, wich means he died.
@Jayy..... I love how your thoughts, realizations and emotions are perfectly expressed on your face.... whether they are realizations, or simply joy or sadness.... they are right there :)
They soothe you, they hypnotize you, they calm you and then they grab you by the balls. They have their way of first positioning you to be open and be able to let it all in. And by all they mean ALL.
Pink Floyd interview , said Clare Torry heard the music to Great gig in the sky and ask her to come up with something on here own, she went in and sang what you just heard, “ FIRST TIME, ONE TAKE “. She asked to do it again, they said NO, it was perfect. Absolutely INCREDIBLE ! This is TRUE, and it makes what you hear even more AMAZING.
Loved your reaction to the album! The music is the brightest when your eyes are closed 🎶 Just puuullllssss you in. Fiddlesticks.....need more of that :) Be Safe!
Rewatch Crew checking in P.S. PLEASE do the "Wish You Were Here" album review (in 2 parts of course). It's the natural progression of the Floyd Experience. You and your fans won't be disappointed. Great reaction vibes there.
This album came out the year I graduated high school. With over 2000 albums from the 60, 70 & 80’s this is still in my top five albums I listen to. Even recorded it on cassette to play in my cars
I just heard the complete album with you... after so many years, and I still feel "trippy", exactly like you, Jayy ! Thank you for reacting to the whole album, that gave a an overall good and warm feeling and brought some memories back to me.
I can't describe it, I don't even know myself. But since I first listen to this album when I was 13 or something ~1989, it almost instantly became my favorite album. It took me some time to dig into it (I'm French, I was a kid), but it has been "with me" for all those years. In high school I had a "Walkman" and a tape with this album on the one side and Wish you were here on the other one (both being just below 45mn it was fitting on a full face of a 90mn tape), and I was listening to this tape in loop (thanks "autoreverse") with my headphones, on the bus to school, in my bed to sleep (and woke up to turn of the Walkman in the middle of the night), later at job, I was heavily listening to music, this album was played at least 2 times a day, everyday, for YEARS. And I still listen to it regularly, maybe not many time a day (I watch RU-vid reactions ;) ). Anyway, it's a kind of magic (Freddie would have said), this album is special. They did something they themselves didn't realize at the time I believe, and it might still be over their head, for the one still living. I think it's like "Life"... Sometimes in the Cosmos, in "Space Time", something magic happen, the actor of the magic don't even know. The molecules didn't know about life, yet Life appeared from molecules... Pink Floyd are great musicians and artist each one of them, but "together" (And their team), they did something which went far beyond what they thought they had made... Not sure that my sentences are clear, as I'm French, my long explanation can be clumsy :). Anyway great reaction, enjoy your future "revisiting" this album. And have a good musical "theatrical journey" on "Wish you were here", "Animals" and "The Wall". Bests.
You can't imagine what it means to someone who grew up with this album to see your reactions and emotions... It felt like i was hearing it for the first time. Believe me, I rode that rollercoaster with you. Thank you
