Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Great reaction.
@@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LSE7qdjy3Q0.html you don't have to react but you should know that roger lost his father in the war..
Just a FYI...Head phones make Pink Floyd even better. Trust me. Comfortably Numb at the Live Pulse show. The lights, special effects, and David Gilmore solo's. Incredible.
While some live performances, are markedly, and surprisingly good. All musicians, period, end of discussion. Excluding, "the Great full Dead," who suck. Musicians, don't spend minutes, yet months on making records. All studio versions, are better than the live version. While, you may appreciate a live recording; always enjoy it, in comparison to its studio version. If you are unfamiliar with that, you have no point of comparison.
true, but its up to the older generation to introduce them to the good stuff. my dad introduced me to supertramp and pink floyd when i was 4 or 5. cant remember precisely. those songs stuck to me through my life and i am still listening to them today. its a part of my childhood now.
It's both bad and good, right? This is what we grew up with and then it was no more. I felt like I was in true rock exile lol. Where's the really good music?!
The Wall tells the story of Pink, an alienated young rock star who is retreating from society and isolating himself. In "Hey You", Pink realizes his mistake of shunning society and attempts to regain contact with the outside world. However, he cannot see or hear beyond the wall. Pink's call becomes more and more desperate as he begins to realize there is no escape. That's a must listen to double album as well as Dark Side of the Moon. Rebeka dropping these reactions like they're hot 😎👍...
You have to listen to the entire album from beginning to end, it’s a masterpiece and tells a story. It’s my all time favorite Pink Floyd album and there’s even a movie and a concert film based off the album too.
"The Wall" tells of the modern human mankind. We are alreade building new walls. Every of us! One of the Walls is the thing about corona. The social justice worrior, the correctness, the wokeness, the antirassists, the antifashists, ... every of then build new walls. And i, i build my own wall!
I am an old retired Frogman from the US Navy who started to listen to Pink Floyd in 1969. Before every mission I went on, I would listen to them to get me pumped for the mission at hand. They have been my favorite ever since. It is so gratifying to see a young person “get it.”
Rebecca, the vocals are so nice probably because they're sung by two guys: David Gilmour and Roger Waters (as in Comfortably Numb). The whole album The Wall is wonderful. It is ideal to listen to the whole story, from beginning to end ...
Definitely! Take in the whole album in one sitting. So many emotions-great music. My favorite PF album. Trivia: a very small voice begins the album speaking, "...we came in?"; at the end of the album the last the we hear is the same voice saying, "Isn't this where..." A perfect loop. For me it's my cue to start the album all over again.
Don't forget, Gilmour double tracks his vocal tracks the second time he says "Hey You" and he is masterful at it, harmonizing with himself. Gilmour also plays the fretless bass licks as well as all the guitar parts and there are many on this track.
Watching you move with the song (or maybe watching the song move you?) was an amazing experience. It was like feeling reflected how this music makes one feel. In every decade, in every new fan who discovers this music, there is this amazing need of abandon yourself to their haunting but captivating music.
My daughter surprised me when she fell in love with Pink Floyd. Years ago, she went on a three-week road trip with my parents. I recorded all my CDs for her on cassette. It really helped on those long rides. To this day she still gets hypnotized by the music. I think Gilmour's use of Leslie speakers is what helps give that haunting quality to the music. I was lucky to catch the Dark Side of the Moon concert back in the seventies. A three-hour mind-numbing experience, complete with four channel sound.
That had to be an incredible experience seeing Floyd on that tour. That would have been like going and seeing the Stones on the Sticky Fingers tour. I was too young dammit.
I'm 75 years and have enjoyed Pink Floyd from the beginning and still get excited with their performances even after dozens of views and listening viewing Pink Floyd the movie tells all and great music the Wall also.
Yeah, where did the time go, just last week, my girlfriend and I were in my 68 Z28 listing to pink floyd , today I am 69. Still strong , Still rocking. But dam what happened.
The "Wall" like so many other PF albums, should be heard as an entire piece without interruption and in a darkened room. Individual songs are vignettes of a larger storyline.
@@rupert-j8f although The Wall is Roger's story,it would've not worked,whiteout Dave's contribution.His solo in this song is monumental.Those 2 needed each other,10 times more than Lennon and McCarthy🎵
This album came out when I was just coming online to the world. It spoke to every fiber of my being. Thankyou for allowing me to re-live it through you.
Apart from Pink, there is another element to this. Waters and many of the kids born just after WWII until maybe 1960 suffered from post generational PTSD. Many parents reacted in couple of ways post WWII. They shut down and the kids were emotionally abandoned, or they got drunk and physically abusive. Check interviews with The Who. The government in the UK has always been heavy handed. In the years leading up to 1979, when the song was written, there was almost a pathological hatred of authority. Waters songs are often about that anger at society for being so shut down. Rage against the machine, time, comfortably numb, echoes, wish you were here. Listen to coming back to life ... they just described my childhood. Waters own father was killed in the final hours of WWII. The band members were middle class kids and grew up in that British stiff upper lip environment. Today it’s 9/11. 20 years ago I lost 24 friends and after a few weeks I called my mother who was a nurse in WWII. I said Mum, I can’t handle this... what did you do about losing friends during the war, she said well dear we just don’t talk about that... inside I’m screaming Help Me!. In 1967 we bought bubblegum and the cards inside had pictures of Nazis running over Nuns in tanks. 20 years after the war!! I was 10. Society was broken and it made a lot of broken kids. Not all of course but a lot. Gilmore’s guitar playing is not angry.. Roger, for the most part, is. So when you listen you might consider the option that NOTHING in their songs is about trying to rejoin society. There was no society just a wall of faceless people too scared to step out of line, indifferent unless pushed to the edge. Then they acted with anger and rejection That’s why another brick in the wall was an anthem, and why my parents asked me ‘Dear, why would you even listen to that? It’s ... uncomfortable’. They spoke for many of us kids born post war... f’ society, F’ authority f’ school. I could go on but I hope you get the idea. Bekka, this should resonate a little? My uncle Joe was torpedoed and died on the Baltic convoy route.. nuff said,
this song shakes the very fabric of your being. discovering this as a young teenager changed my perception of the world and of myself. life changing and hauting and beautiful.
In the 1970s when I first heard this album I couldn't stop listening to it. I was an introvert teenager who was trying as hard as I could to change my own life and the world itself. I felt as if the emotions expressed in this album were my own. I think many teenagers of the late 70s and early 80s felt this album communicated what they felt in their hearts.
In the evening I come home, turn on only the desk lamp, put on my headphones, lie down on the sofa, turn on Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and the journey into magical talented music begins.
watching you I could literally see the music enter into your soul and consume you. When it ended you looked like you had just lost a piece of yourself. That was a hauntingly beautiful process to watch, thank you for sharing this
Gorgeous. Intelligent review to an intense old number. The sheer quality of Floyd and their ability to isolate and pin down certain emotional aspects of human existence and then to rock it is mindnumbing.
The album is about a rock star who is losing his grip on reality. The wall they refer to is in his own mind. Each song goes through his life and each event that has driven him to this point - each is another "brick in the wall." The lyrics calling "Hey you" are what's left his sanity making one last attempt to bring him back to the other side of "the wall."
My favorite song of theirs, too. I really appreciate that you didn't keep stopping the video to talk over the song like they do on a lot of the other reaction channels.
Watching you reacting and responding is honestly very special. It’s as if you visualize all the emotions and feelings I myself experience everytime I listen to this. Love your reactions and comments! 🥰
Great reaction.. it’s like I’m playing you these songs & watching them touch your soul, because I feel the same way.. PF never fail to take you on a journey, you don’t need drugs when you listen to them (even though I used to).
This is such an iconic song. As always, your reaction and analysis are the reason I subscribe. For those of you that watched this and haven't subscribed, you really should. Rebeka deserves our support.
Watching as many of your reactions as I can; even if I don't care for the song. But I do like this song. Everything about you is mesmerizing. Thank you Rebeka for brightening my day.
Hey Bek, SNAP! This has been my favourite Pink Floyd song for 30+ years! I have the same emotional reaction to it as you do. I get goosebumps in the solo (not an uncommon occurrence when I listen to David Gilmour play). Your reaction today made me relive the first time I heard it, playing my new record copy of THE WALL album. Thank you!!
Hey you sitting by the stairs Listening intently to the words Can you hear them...... Yes you do, I can see it in your reactions. Rebeka, another great show.
Thanks to the Goddess of RU-vid for bringing this slice of rock and roll heaven to us on Friday. Great reaction as always! Have a great weekend dear!😀😀😀💥💥💥👍👍❤️❤️
Pink Floyd albums always tell a story, the songs are more like movements in a classical piece; they each form part of the story and relate to each other.
I'm also haunted by this song. It's my favorite from "The Wall". My favorite Pink Floyd album is "Animals". In this song (Hey You) he says "won't you help me to carry the stone" and in the Animals album he says "Have a good drown, as you go down, all alone, dragged down by the stone". I knew that you have to listen to a Pink Floyd album from start to finish to get the whole story, but I didn't realize there was a connection between them.
It is fun watching some of these reaction videos, sometime people listen and some times they do not. This was fun, listening intently, getting in to it, feeling good. Then all of a sudden this took an unexpected turn. Nice to see some one paying attention.
Cool reaction , remember Gilmour and Waters both sing on this one. Both sing so differently but compliment each other so well. It is in my top 10 Floyd tracks
Rebeka is reacting to Nick mason on drums which is an integral, and vital, part of this amazing song. The guitar solo builds and builds until it reaches the zenith, and slowly drops back to the vocal ending of one of Floyds masterpieces. Stunning song. Somewhere further down this page a contributor recommends headphones to really, really appreciate the bands music. Well, if my little ears could bear it, I'd strap a pair of Wharfedales to the side of my head, turn the lights off, and hit play!
Hey Rebeka , This is first time seeing you or your channel. So this comment should be my reaction to your reaction of "Hey You" . WOW!!! After that first verse when your hands went over your heart i could feel your empathy and when you began to groove to the sound I could feel your sensuality and when the drums came in feel your passion and enjoyment , you really rock! Then when you gave your take on the song it was so on point and deep ,WOW! My respect for you as a person and my respect for your opinion on this song just kept growing. Admittedly first wanted to see what the pretty young lady had to say about this old classic but now see you as a beautiful woman wise beyond her years.I am truly glad I stopped in to watch your reaction to this awesome song. So yes ,of course I haven't subscribed to your channel. As time permits I look forward to stoping by and watching more of your reactions to music. 🌝 of your
Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd. You have so many experiences ahead of you. Just a tip from a dude that has been enjoying this band for decades. Most of their albums are supposed to be listened to in its entirety.
I must admit that on vocal, poetic and sound level of compose this is one of the greatest piece of Pink Floyd. I think that greatest songs of Pink Floyd are much more than masterpieces, they are like a touch of the ghosts. "Hey you" just touches your spirit interior much harder than others songs. This drums entrance at begining is like a passing through portal to another world. The guitar solo is like a flight over it. Just incredible.
The majority of Pink Floyd's albums I enjoy listening to in their entirety.Each song is somehow connected and you enjoy them all. They are like a bag of potato chips. You eat one and have to eventually eat the entire bag.😊
the journey of Pink Floyd starting with Syd Barret till present is wonderful. Even in the beginning they were ahead of there time. Pure musical genius stuck with the band and they will never be legends, legends come and go. They will forever be timeless.
This one has always hit me pretty hard, but damned if I didn't get chills and well up a little bit this time. Wow. Just fit the moment in a "message in a bottle" type of way.
The beauty of it all is that sometimes you can be touched by the product of a one hit wonder. But with Pink Floyd it is a true rabit hole that goes on and on and on. One masterpiece after another. A 61 year old lifetime fan who was lucky enough to see them live in Rotterdam.
You have to be my favorite reactor on RU-vid, especially when you do Pink Floyd! I just love how involved you get with the music, which is what more people should do! Please do more Pink Floyd!
You have such great insight. You do such an excellent job of describe in that emotional rection in such an intimate and heartfelt way that we all can relate to.
A few weeks ago, I was talking to my neighbor's parents and the subject turned to relationships. At one point, I said that we are built for interactions not for isolation. This song epitomizes that thought in such a personal, desperate way.
This makes much more sense when your on lsd and play the album from the start to the end. It will carry you places you never dreamed of in your own mind.
@@MikeB12800 I was selling top end hi-fi speakers and cassette decks to them, once deal was done, they said “Do you want to hear what we’ve just finished mixing?”, and they then played the whole thing for me. You don’t forget things like that!
The thing about Pink Floyd's The Wall is that it is an entire story. The songs are great individually, but they become so much more if you just sit down with the whole album and listen the whole way through. It's an incredible journey, an ouroboros, really meant to be heard all the way through. The way its pace even fits with the fact that it was once on a vinyl record and once side one was done, you'd have to get up and flip the record over. The music story seems to take that into account in its beats.
OMG! I could watch you, reacting to Pink Floyd like forever! One not just listens to Pink Floyd, it's more like bathing in sound, winding in vibes and flying through space and time ... and yea that's all I'm getting from you! LOVE IT!!!
