As others have mentioned, you're basically listening to a single chapter in a book. This is about getting caught up and trapped in the music industry, which molds and manufactures stars from a young age. HAVE A CIGAR is the next song on the album, and a direct follow-up. The story of this chapter is that the band is being lauded and paraded around as an industry success-story, but it's clear they care nothing for them personally. You haven't tried anything off the ANIMALS album, and that's another that has a narrative that continues across the album. It's loosely based on George Orwell's Animal Farm. DOGS is a particular stand-out here, but they are all amazing tracks!

@Sir_William_Marshal 2 года назад

This song is not nearly as complicated as some people seem to think, which is a common trend with Pink Floyd reactions. Welcome to the machine refers to the music industry and how heartless and cruel such a world can be, a world that saw the Floyd band members forced to witness the destruction of their friend Syd Barret. This is one of the themes that is present throughout the Wish You Were Here album. Pink Floyd albums are one song with many pieces and are meant to be listened to all the way through. Things will be much more clear once you do that.

It's another song about how the music industry "the machine" and how it controls musicians. The sounds at the end with laughter are supposed to represent the artist going up to the company penthouse in an elevator, stepping into a cocktail party where all of the fake and insincere company "suits" laugh at each others jokes and congratulate each other insincerely. Pink Floyd were a little annoyed with their record label at the time. The song Have a Cigar from this album is another slight on the industry.

I love Lex's interpretation. Music, like all art, should speak to you where you are. Once an artist releases their art (music, painting, writing, etc), it becomes its own thing and it becomes *more* than it was when it was created as it reaches the audience, grows and morphs inside the minds and souls of the people it resonates with.

@tenchraven 2 года назад

No respect intended, as a creator I have to say you're full of crap. When I make something, I means what it I intend, it my expression. No one elses. It is my thing, for all time, for it is my creation. I may not always mean much by it other than, say, "I like pretty sunsets- they make the world less ugly, despite the colors being a sign of pollution." Sometimes it's to get the nightmares out of my head and trap them. Maybe your art means nothing to you other than what some other person applies to it, but in that case you make art for others. Probably for money. But most people who think they can claim another's art create nothing by methane and carbon dioxide.

@killboybands1 2 года назад

@@tenchraven Full of crap? Interpretation is not entirely under your control. A piece of art can mean entirely different things to different people. Even a title can shift the interpretation with ease. Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima was originally titled 8'37 which gives it an extremely different interpretation for the listener. Not everyone creates or thinks like you which is vital for art to flourish and grow in the first place. "For I consider that music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all, whether a feeling, an attitude of mind, a psychological mood, a phenomenon of nature, etc. Expression has never been an inherent property of music. That is by no means the purpose of its existence. If, as is nearly always the case, music appears to express something, this is only an illusion and not a reality. It is simply an additional attribute which, by tacit and inveterate agreement, we have lent it, thrust upon it, as a label, a convention - in short, an aspect which, unconsciously or by force of habit, we have come to confuse with its essential being.” -Igor Stravinsky (1936)

@Stormeyworld 2 года назад

@@tenchraven Then you shouldn't show your "Art" to anyone! People like you think you are so special because you created a piece of "art" and so what? Millions of people have created art too. Some really famous artists are okay with people interpreting their work differently than what was intended by the artist. Especially when it comes to a song or a piece of music. They don't care. They know what they wrote and what it meant for them. And they are not a snob about it like you are!

More than 30 years in being a "fan", and I still discover new things. But, to be fair «some people who react to this band are too obsessed with the meanings of specific sounds and lyrics» this must be induced by hoards of brutal fans, who want the noobs to know "everything" before even thinking about listening to PF.... The brutal fans can really be a burdens with that... It's almost the same for "full album listening"... Of course it's better, and it's how it's supposed to be listen to... BUT... Most of us have discovered PF with ONE song here and there, and THEN, someday, we realized that there were "songs in between" and that the album must be listen to "at once"... Brutal PF fans (or from other bands) tend to break the happy and innocent approach of a "noob"...

Industry is industry, we are designed to be a cog in the machine where ever and what ever you do end up as a cog at some level or another.

Anybody remember when they used this song in that show “Person of Interest “? No other song could have worked for that specific scene!

The Machine is life, industrial life in which you are just a cog in the machine. I think they may be talking specifically about the music industry machine, but it applies to most jobs. I enjoy telling new graduates "Welcome to the machine."

I think Brad would dig the lyrics to "Have a Cigar"...and it's not quite as "spacey" as this one. (though Pink Floyd has yet to make a song I'd turn off)

@jackbackband7733 2 года назад

I'm 70 and still loving this stuff! When this band arrived on the scene in the 60's in England we were once again blown away by something entirely new. To me this was the orchestral music of the space age. I escaped the machine for some time but it kept dragging me back and I'd escape again and make fleeting appearances in the world of respectable but would soon be off again. I've been back in the machine for over thirty years now but that's a whole other story!

Richard Wright did some amazing keyboard work on this song. Very experimental for its time.

@markfeggeler3479 2 года назад

A great song off their best album. You should also try some old Genesis from the early 1970s. A good starter song is Carpet Crawlers off The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

With Peter Gabriel, from the "studio" recording. (I use quotes because the "studio" was Headley Grange.)

Yes, "Wish You Were Here" is a great album, no doubt, but my favorite album is "Obscured By Clouds", which came out in 1972, the year before "Dark Side........"

@Codex7777 2 года назад

People will tell you this is about the music. They're partially right, of course but, as with any Floyd song there's more than one meaning. The specific meaning is a commentary on the music industry. The more general meaning is to do with life/work/ society and refers to the experience of the 'everyman'. The widest meaning of all, consists of all the myriad of personal interpretations of the individual listeners.

I love the look of interest and anticipation you guys have throughout. There are dozens of Pink Floyd songs I could recommend but like it's been said many times, the songs are chapters of a story which is an entire album. Please do more Floyd songs!

An ex-roomate and I would due hallucinogens while this song played. What a trip I tell you. I don't trip anymore but it's still a great song sober and occasionally I get stoned while this plays. One of my personal favorites from Pink Floyd.

@arleco12 2 года назад

Really HATE when people dare to put images to Pink Floyd songs. The idea is for you to create your own images, not to be conducted by other's. They just kill the whole experience.

@robbob5302 2 года назад

Yes and no. I mean, I enjoy seeing other people interpretations of the song. But in a reaction video, I am kinda interested to hear Lexs interpretation too. With visual guides. If you haven't, watch her reaction to Light my Fire. By The Doors. She was TRIPPING.

Back in the day (I am the same age as Maynard James Keenan and grew up listening to the same music as he and the rest of Tool), I read every single bit of information I could get on this band. One thing I found interesting about this song is that they actually recorded David's voice and then re-recorded it slowed down. They felt that his voice needed something extra to really drive the song. Also, Waters said that when they began working on Wish You Were Here, they had booked the studio and just went in there "with rubber bands and shit to see what they could come up with." Amazing talent!

@bechtel35 2 года назад

I love how in 'Time', the lyrics comment on wasting time just because and how this song is needlessly long only because it sounds good. And I sit here doing nothing but listening to it, happy to waste my time this way, just listening to the music. I love Pink Floyd.

“The Machine” is the music industry. Signing on young talent, taking advantage of them, milking them dry, and tossing them out. THE MACHINE. All of Pink Floyd’s albums are meant to be listened to all the way through from beginning to end. It gives way more context
