PINK FLOYD - US AND THEM (UK Reaction) | DID FLOYD JUST MELLOW OUT HECTOR? 

i'm 67 yrs old and housebound, with a terminal illness, and i love your reactions. i've been a fan of Pink Floyd's since this album first came out. i love the guitar solos, but this is one of my favourite songs of all time

You think you don't do drugs but you do. Music releases endorphins, you're now addicted to Pink Floyd, welcome to the support group!

I was17years old in 1973 and my brother had just bought on vinyl DSOTM we both had never heard it.He put it on the stereo put the needle down and from that moment our attitudes to music changed,both of us had never heard music like it we where just stunned.I am 67 now and I will never forget that moment. I know exactly how you feel when listening to these songs for the first time.

So happy I was a teen in the 70's. Our music was beyond amazing. Love your reactions.

There music gets under the skin and soaks into your heart and fixes into your brain and there it stays... forever.😊 masterful musical geniuses

I am a 66 year old female (can`t believe it ) I lived through these years and this is just wonderful and such a pleasure to see / hear your reactions are so gratifying to me and it brings me so much joy , just keep doing what you are doing it is fab x

Dick Pary is the legendary saxophonist that played with Floyd on many iconic records. He really is such an underrated part of the magic of Pink Floyd. Cheers brother 🍻

It's incredible that 'The Dark Side of the Moon' holds the record of more than 900 weeks in the US Bilboard 200 charts. One hell of an achievement. Thanks for the Floyd reactions.

Oh Mark. I've had a crap day full of sadness and tears so I thought I'd check to see what you were up to. Watching you react to Us and Them made me smile for the first time of the day. I sang along and shed happy tears. BUT the look on your face when the song ended made me burst out laughing! Kinda like when my teenage son doesn't get his own way. You are definitely right... PF's music is like riding a rollercoaster of emotions. Thanks sooo much for letting us take that ride with you all over again!

4:53 "You couldn't get more beautiful than that" and then the look on your face at 5:16 when the sax kicked in👌Your comments are from the heart, we know that, and we know exactly what you mean when (in your words) you ramble and sometimes struggle to get what you're feeling across, Pink Floyd does that to you, but hey, you're making a fine job of it so far and this was another great reaction✌

One thing that fills me with hope in this crazy, divided world is seeing how the discovery of music brings joy and togetherness to all kinds of people all over the world. We are way more alike than different, and this song really illustrates that, as does your channel. The pure appreciation of great music. Much love, from Arizona, USA ❤

I'm a 63-year-old who is rediscovering Pink Floyd after being away from them for a while. I remember having their albums when I was in high school that came out in the early '70s which were Meddle and then Dark Sde and then Wish You Wete Here I can honestly say that I appreciate them much more now than I did as a youth and maybe it's because I kind of took things for granted back then and didn't realize how fortunate we were. I'll just toss out a couple of song suggestions for you and they are One of These Days, St. Tropez, (which will only cast in stone your supposition that they are always changing it up because you will not believe this is Pink Floyd) and one of my favorites off an album you've already listened to one song from, and that is Sheep. Happy listening!

I can’t get enough of you reacting to Pink Floyd. ⭐️🔥

I don't know what it is but even after the 1000th time listening to Dark Side of The Moon, it never gets old. This album just has an impact on my life that can't be explained in words.

Thanks for taking us all along to the first time WE heard PF - the excitement, anticipation and awe at the brilliance of their music make it as fresh as when I first heard it 50 years ago. Seriously, thank you for this.

Just came across your channel today. Absolutely addicted. As a Pink Floyd fan, watching someone who is experiencing this music for the first time is a joy to watch.

You said you were on a journey this time. I was a Navy Corpsman (medic) in Viet Nam when Dark Side of the Moon came out (1973). Everyone I knew had the album and played it over and over. Never tired of it. Some people call their music an "experience" some call it a "journey". I call it an "adventure" as it includes both and is an adventure you don't want to end. In all these years I have never tired of it.

The sax solo in this one does what a David Gilmour guitar solo usually does. Floyd is so multi faceted they are amazing. Your reactions are spot on.

This song is the most beautiful song i've heard and my favourite Pink Floyd song. Love your reactions you really understand this kind of music

I remember this album being released and hearing the song for the first time on the radio. It makes me happy to see someone discover and enjoy Pink Floyd. May their music live forever. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.

When I'm feeling down or stressed, it's usually Pink Floyd that I turn to. And it's the album Dark Side of the Moon particularly. All 43 + minutes are pure genius from beginning to end. Not one note, not one instrument, not one vocal out of place. Perfection.

An awesome and brilliant track from Pink Floyd! The rhythm had a melodic mood to it as the saxophone 🎷, piano, drums, organ, and the bass sound makes a great blend of the song 🎶. The lyrics that says, “Us (Us, us, us, us, us) and them (Them, them, them, them)/ And after all, we’re only ordinary men“, I was shook by them. And the song is about he pressures in life and the senseless war that the individuals have/had to go through. Thanks so much for sharing your reaction and it’s a like and thumbs up.😄👍#pinkfloyd

Same here 67 and love pink floyd. ❤️

Love your reactions to Pink Floyd. My cool grandmother introduced me to Pink Floyd and CCR as Christmas gift in 1969. It changed my life from the Big Band music of my parents to rock I would love forever! Thanks grandma you were the best and I still miss you and my parents.

Now you know why the music of the 70's is so, so special! Enjoy your reactions!

I adore your reactions. Its such a joy to see you react to something that I grew up with and still listen to today. Your joy is infectious! This is such an amazing track. Thank you!

It's wonderful that yourself and so many young people appreciate Pink Floyd and have given some wonderful comments that makes us older ones that grew up with them feel even more special

The roller coaster connection was well done. Thank you again for your reaction. As a Floydian, thank you!

Rick Wright wrote the piano/keyboard/Hammond Organ melody for us and them, whilst working with the floyd in the late 60's, on the soundtrack for the movie "Zaberiskis point" he then evolved and expanded it for "us and them"....wonderful , beautiful piece of music from Rick...the rest of the band too , especially Rogers Waters lyrics.

I was pulling into a Christmas tree stand one December listening to this song. That memory is chiseled into my brain along with so many more visuals I have lived through with Pink Floyd albums. Ideas, Imaginary romps visualizing what you hear in their songs. The creature in the middle of Echoes is not an albatross to me but, some fearful flying entity to hide from.

Thanks so much for your reactions! You make my day, keep them coming! I discovered them in my late teens, and every time I find time to listen to Dark Side the meaning of the album changes with me as I get older. It’s so strange. The second side is one of my favourite pieces of music. I hope you’ll get a chance to listen start to finish and let them take you on that journey. Cheers from Canada.

I am 53 and absolutely cherish Floyd! Their words and music have influenced me and touched me since I was 15. I love watching your journey

I remember 44yrs ago when I first heard it, barely a teen... it was wonder-ful and has always been.🙏🏾

I love your reactions! Pink Floyd is my favorite band and I listen to PF every day. I was 24 when this album came out and it just blew my mind! You have just cracked the surface of their music. Keep listening!!

You bring a special joy . Love your honesty. Thank you friend

Oh god Hector, I make sure I have a hankie with me now as I am doubled over laughing 🤣🤣🤣just love your reactions. All of us who grew up with this were truly blessed me, 50 yrs plus of total joy& emotion, gods bless Pink Floyd& all who sail with them ❤❤❤

These lyrics are timeless, and the music is still incredible, over 50 years later. I don't know how they did it.

I was at the Pulse concert in 1994. It was my graduation (high school) for me and my two friends. The most amazing night / concert I've ever experienced. I love that you are getting a chance to experience this music and love your reactions. Keep going on my friend!!!!!!

10,000 AD. This album will still be relevant!!!!

Big memories. I'm glad to revisit them with you.

I just watched this reaction, and I love the way you described this as a roller coaster ride. The sheer enjoyment you share makes me so happy. Im 65, and I love that young people are still out there listening. You've made my day, thanks!

Im 63 years old, seen the floyd 5 times, They never cease to amaze me, but in my day music was created, unlike today, manufactured. sad but true.

I just love your energy! I feel the same, when the end comes... You always want more, It's never enough...

This song is so fun to play live on an acoustic guitar. All the boomers start smiling and swaying along to it...never fails :)

"Music that touches your soul..." - Pink Floyd in a nutshell. Great reaction again, Hector! Love it!! The majority of the Floyd catalogue is best enjoyed as the original recording. However, the 1995 Pulse concert contains some outstanding live performances. You've already done Comfortably Numb, but may I also advise High Hopes, Run Like Hell, One Of These Days and Sorrow from the same live performance? Some other recorded masterpieces still awaiting you are: Wish You Were Here (it's a direct message to Syd - heartbreaking stuff...), Welcome To The Machine, Marooned, Pigs, Sheep, Mother, Brain Damage/Eclipse, Keep Talking, On The Turning Away and, if you're feeling really brave and want to tackle some of the earlier psychedelic material, Atom Heart Mother, Fat Old Sun and See Emily Play. Keep it up, mate! This is WAY better than anything you'll find on telly...!! 🎸❤🤟

Another great reaction to another great song. I too love the roller coaster effect of Pink Floyd 💗 😍 💕

Thanks for this. Great stuff as always, your energy and joy is infectious and wonderful to watch. I know you are in to your rap/hip hop and that you have started to branch out. While I tend to never suggest tunes for anyone to react to and I am sure a lot of people will have suggest them before, but you should dip your toe in the the world of Led Zeppelin. The reason i mention them is two fold, firstly, they are awsome :) and secondly and more interesting for you is, they are one of the most, if not thee most sampled bands in music history. A huge reason for this is down to rap/hip hop artist sampling the drums and rhythms of Led Zeppelin as their drummer is seen as one of the finest of all time. Most people will suggest Stairway To Heaven, which is nice enough, but given your love of rap, I would suggest When The Levee Breaks as I am positive you will instantly get why I suggest this. Give it a go sometime, even on your own time and you will feel the cogs start turning as everything falls in to place on your musical journey. Keep on doing you.... much love

😎👍 I discovered Pink Floyd when I was 11 years old. I am now 51 years old and I still listen to it every week. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶

They say we only use 70% of our brain Pink Floyd taps into the the other 30% and puts on one another plain of existence in the best way possible

Continue your journey in the way that makes you happy brain squeeze you reaction and comments are valuable I have great admiration for you and I am now nearly eight years but still love Floyd

Pink Floyd is the apex of musical and lyrical genius. I’ve listened since their inception and never tire. Your excitement in discovery has been reinvigorating and fun to watch. Two suggestions: check out “Sheep” asap and watch “Sorrow” live from Pulse or “Run Like Hell” from Pulse. Best concert I ever attended (by far) - 1994.

Pink Floyd dark side of the moon tour was the greatest concert I've ever seen!! It was in Phoenix in the 70s, about 25 of us went together, I stayed totally sober for this concert, no weed for me please pass it along..I told my brother I wanted to remember every single minute of this concert and it was worth it because it's still crystal clear in my mind!! Great reaction young man, imagine how we felt in our teenage years with a bunch of friends smoking a joint or two, turning off the lights, lighting a candle and nobody moves until someone has to turn the album over!! I'm so happy you are enjoying Pink Floyd!! I told my children and grandchildren that when I pass away I want to be buried with headphones and dark side of the moon playing on loop!!

The brillance of the late Rick Wright.

This was the first album I ever listened to, and I am still listening to PF 51 years later. Ignore the hatters, you be you. I love your reactions because they are true to you.

My future husband and I went to the Pink Floyd movie in the 70's - our first date. This became "our song".

It's fantastic where you say "I'm just looking at the world...and I'm seeing the planet..." and then Gilmour sings "...and in the end it's only round 'n' round, round, round, round,..." like the planet going around and around!

F the hate! Born in 71 and grew up with floyd! Pulse was my wife's 1st concert! Turned my kids onto floyd and try with everyone else!

Bro I absolutely love your reactions, I felt the exact same way when I first heard all these amazing songs. Screw the haters bro, keep on doing what you’re doing. I suggest you listen to a track called ‘ One of these Days’, from the Meddle album

"Lost For Words"!!!! Floydians know!

Pink Floyd is a journey. I like to sit on my recliner with the lights dimmed or off in front my stereo with Floyd on high fidelity speakers... just takes you to another dimension.

When I was around 12, I found this album in a fort in the woods. I brought it home and listened to it over and over, showed my friends and we all listened to it on repeat. I am having so much fun watching your reactions. I was driving home from Thanksgiving when I discovered your channel, you made my ride, fun! Thank you

Ur reactions are awesome, it's great seeing someone discovering Floyd

Top man , the comment at the start of us and them you couldn't get any more beautiful than this. Perfect

In South Africa, the most prized album was an imported vinyl of Dark Side of the Moon, cos the local production sucked! I never regretted getting the UK press... Brilliant!

In a comment on your channel, (reaction to Dogs), I told you about roller coasters. Even lying down comfortably, when I listen to Pink Floyd, I'm drawn into a rollercoaster.

I'm 62, definitely reliving the best years of my life, through you. I remember being aa happy as you at one time, too.

Yep. Go for it!

Pink Floyd,,,,as well as Led Zeppelin,,,,are just on another level. 💥💥💥👍😎

It's never too much, I'm watching you have the same experience I had when first hearing Pink Floyd almost 50 years ago. Either you get it or you don't, experience it for yourself and be real.

This whole album may be the most brilliant record of all time. Even more enhanced by recording in the famous Abbey Road studio, where the Beatles or Deep Purple created similar gems.

Another great mellow tune from Pink Floyd is "Stay" from their album "Obscured By Clouds."

Enjoy life, enjoy music and f**k the haters! Rock on.

High Hopes, amazing track.... Pink Floyd... From the album Division Bell... My personal favorite...

This is my favorite song on the LP. The music just flows, and the lyrics are incredible. I absolutely LOVE your energy man, honestly. I’ve seen almost every reaction to this LP, your reactions are The BEST 😂 I’m going back thru and rewatching them all again and saving them to my favorites.

Since in the video you mentioned "lost for words" I recommend you listen to the pink floyd song that is called exactly like that, it is from the album THE DIVISION BELL, quite different from what you have heard up to here, perhaps another version of pink floyd, but totally incredible and with a very deep meaning

Side 1 of Dark Side of the Moon is in many ways the journey from life to death. Side 2, which this is from, is more about the trials of life. Money, War (this one), Drugs (according to Syed Reacts, and I agree), and of course, madness/mental illness. Love taking this journey with you. It's terrific.

Pink Floyd "SOUND"...NOTHIN like it! 🥴🥴🥴🤪😎✌️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶💯

I love watching your reactions, I'm 70 and have been listening to them since the beginning, Run like he'll Pulse 94 remastered, I your head might start spinning lol love you

You’re the best dude! PS 50 Shades of Floyd - brilliant!

Study break! PINK FLOYD! I'm ready! 💜💜💜 Lol, your look at the end! We all feel that! 😊😊😊

After binge-watching most of your Floyd reaction videos, I have to say... I love your reactions!

Pink Floyd é simplesmente genial!

I'm an old guy who started the Pink Floyd voyage in '72. I still vividly remember the first time I heard PF, it was DSOTM. A profound experience! Fun to watch you do the same thing. You really owe it to yourself to listen to "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" (have to listen to both as they join into one song). It's social commentary on the mental illness.

From Echoes by Pink Floyd. Strangers passing in the street By chance, two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can? Us and Them continues the thought: “We are the same. All else is a façade”

Lost For Words is a great song off Pink Floyd The Division Bell.

Smoothest sax; sliding and gliding. Blood ebbing and flowing.

Pink Floyd just taps into something deep within us that no other band has ever matched, IMHO.

That's why we Love Pink Floyd

Gooble, gobble, we accept [him], we accept [him], one of us, one of us! 🤣💗 I suggest listening to the last three songs that come after this one on DSofM all together.

Ive never heard that end before as it naturally transitions into Any colour you like and this was like Bam ended, Great reaction as always, so glad you enjoyed it!

Pink Floyd is my favorite thing in the world, and your reactions to them are the most lovely thing I've ever witnessed.

This song always - and I've listened to it 100s of times - makes my brain tingle. Braingasms. So so so love it. (The instrumental that follows on from it Any Colour You Like does the same for me too)

This music be like the time machine, boom and I am a teen again, goosebumps on me arms and everything is possible🦋

Thanks for thos réaction. Funny you said lost for words which is one of pink floyd song from division bell album. Reason why i jumped into pink floyd was because i learning guitar and when pinkfloyd released division bell i was at college and was amazed and specially with Pulse live show.

I haven't listened to PF in such a long time....gosh it's so nice to go back there. They do totally caress your soul and just make you feel so mellow, especially with songs like this. You gotta do Any Colour You Like, it's after this one on the album. Can't wait to see your Zepplin reaction...they were my go to band for a very long time! So so many gems down that journey! Thanks for the short break away...this just stabilized my mood. 💛

Love that you really envelop yourself soul and heart in great music ESP Floyd!!

Good music sets the soul free. Love your passion. It' justified.

Don't EVER stop being you! you do you, always. That's what we love about you. F the haters

Having a great time watching your channel, thanks for the roller coaster ride. Go to bed Mr Hector, there are plenty of tunes from Pink Floyd yet, that will squeeze the space in your brain so hard that it will expand until it bursts into a billion visions a second all spread out and waiting for your visit.

I feel music..sometimes it gets me all ramped up and sometimes it gives me chills, makes the hairs on the back of my next stand up, sometimes it brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for the video.
