Therapist wishes you were here. (Pink Floyd) 

To absent friends . This song has been making me cry every time I hear it for the last 49 years

2:02 - "...hitting me in the feels". That becomes more true the older you get. Wish You Were Here cuts deeper and deeper. As family, friends, pets, and other relationships age and go - the memories and this song are all that's left.

My best friend died from heart attack literally in my arms, and this song always reminds me of him and the feeling of how I really wish he is here

This was written in tribute to Syd who left the band because of mental and physical health issues. David and Roger missing their good friend while noticing its important to be present and freeing yourself to enjoy life to it's fullest.

This whole album is a great therapeutic listen.

“I really feel like it’s relatable to a lot of people.” Good for you sweetheart, I’m so glad you’ve understood that it’s about the human condition. Don’t look now, but it’s the very reason “Floyd” has enjoyed acclaim the world over, has endured for more than 50years… and will continue to do so. Regards

The turning away live is awesome

highly intelligent woman u are, we wish we were there, well done

S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond RIP Syd Barrett! (Roger Waters is a brilliant poet)

Whole album was a dedicated to Sid, Shine on crazy Diamond 💎 is a must, 10 of 10 album. No surprise, it’s Pink Floyd

saw them in concert many times through the years, always amazing

One of the greatest songs ever composed, it absolutely deserves the studio version, on your own time if nothing else!

I love that you did Pink Floyd

Another beautiful song from this great Pulse concert is High Hopes. I think you'd really enjoy it.

When I was a teenager, my dad was really cool and would listen to the music I like and always give it a chance. I showed him Radiohead, he showed me Pink Floyd. We still talk about those two bands today. It's been 25 years.

Taylor: I have only watched two of your reaction vids, this and Comfortably Numb. Your facial reactions are THE best. Such an amazing, emotive face. Yes, your Therapist’s insights are very poignant as well. You have a gift. ❤

This band saved my life. 10 years ago i was going through a difficult divorce, and lost everything. I was engaging in copious substance abuse, because i didnt have the coping skills and the want to get better. All i wanted was to not hurt anymore, and the substances were the easy way. I considered ending it all many times, and the only thing that stayed my hand was the knowledge that my actions would leave my family with immense pain that they had no answer to, and no way of fixing it. They didn’t deserve it, and at the end of the day, I couldn’t follow through. And it was the best decision that I’ve ever made. Stay here. No matter what you’re going through, there is hope and there is someone out there who cares. I would much rather spend time and listen to your story and commiserate than attend your funeral. Stay here with us.

From this concert: "Comfortably Numb", Shine on You Crazy Diamond", "Coming Back to Life", Or really, just pick any song and it will be a winner. You can't go wrong with Pink Floyd.

There's a syd barrett era pink floyd song called "jugband blues" ,which would be worth a listen the band members genuinely believe it is the sound of Syd Barrett's LSD triggered schizophrenia, Syd overdosed on LSD by overdose I mean not enough to kill him but the toxicity was enough where his brain couldn't recover. He also wrote great songs like see emily play.

My brother and I were both addicts unfortunately he lost the battle and Pink Floyd was the common ground we had. Listening to this song just hits different cause he was the only one who understood me. I’ve never been the same since.

Time for you to dive into The Dark Side of the Moon. And the song Time would be appropriate.

While some think Syd over used LSD and he may have, it's more likely he had schizophrenia. The song is primarily about Syd. But I and others think that in part it's also about the writers (Roger) father as well.

You should try more more Pink Floyd It's almost cathartic.

4:16 - AFAIK Syd Barrett wasn't so much LSD addicted as he was hitting onset of schizophrenia and there seems to be a desire at that time for some people with schizophrenia to jump into it faster - like their brain's holding a configuration that it can't hold anymore and the LSD speeds up the transition? That seems to be the broader back story.

Can you react to pearl jam Jeremy

As much as I love the Pulse performance, there is a sweetness and melancholy in the original album version that is unbeatable, in a way that is much more intimate. The way the song was produced feels like you're in a small room, with a small group of friends, and one starts plucking at the strings, singing his heart out in memory of a lost friend. It's a gem, truly hard to replicate in a large venue. Try the album version sometime, on your own. If you lost someone, it will hit it very very hard, specially if you know the meaning behind the lyrics.

Fascinating reaction, thanks. Listening to the albums and the Live Pulse recordings are different experiences, and I'd recommend both. As someone who is looking for feelings in songs, also from Pulse you can pick any one of six or seven, however, I think you'd find High Hopes and Great Gig in the Sky very rewarding.

Listen to Shine on Your crazy Diamond instead. That´s about therre ex frontman SYD Barett. And his drugaddictions.

Syd actually showed up to the studio while they were recording the album about him! Check out the song 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond ' if you get a chance, it's also about him

i feel like Floyd's music should probably be digested for the first time in studio form.

The lyrics hit deep. Never fails to make you examine your own life. "On The Turning Away" is another great song where the lyrics hit hard. Oh! Also "Brain Damage/Eclipse" Ok. I'll stop bugging you now 😂

Glad to see you enjoy this song..I really think you would definitely like Time..make you think type of a song.just saying 😎

I recommend watching their reunited Live 8 performance on your own volition; it'll only take 20-ish minutes of your time, and you can feel them pouring everything they've got left in the tank into the Comfortably Numb closer 😎

If you get the chance - react to 'There's No Way Out of Here' by David Gilmour, powerful 'atheist grappling with the terms of existence' track.

Subscribed from Nova Scotia, Canada. Enjoyed your analysis of this and Comfortably Numb..More Pink Floyd, and then hit up Led Zeppelin, and then Billy Strings... and....and.. LOL...

I didn't get Pink Floyd in my teens. I was like "How long is this intro? When does the song start?". But a few days after my grandpa died, I had to prepare a presentation for school and I just listened to what randomly came next on youtube. Probably because I looked up a few Pink Floyd songs before (again didn't really care about them) this song began playing, but this time it hit so deep. Pink Floyd has been my favorite band ever since. No other artist touched me as much through lyrics and music as they did.

Congrats on getting the recognition on your local radio station Taylor !! Yea...Pink Floyd has an immense catalog of great songs !! The turning away,learning to fly,money,dark side of the moon/brain damage,comfortably numb,time are some of their best works...but there's many others that are classics !! 😁🤘/👍👊🤘

cute review, i am glad you exist

5:03 It’s a lot about how living a selfish life isolates us.

Oh my you are gonna have a field day when you react to most of their tracks…

I think you should do both versions of “last resort” the original is by Papa Roach and the absolutely beautiful cover done by Fallon Reverse. I think you’ll enjoy both and the message.

This song was written for a lost bandmate, Syd Barrett. We all wish he was here........

please listen two therapy by mass of man and enkay47

Put "Gunners Dream" off Pink Floyds Final Cut album on your future reaction list love to hear your reaction

You're from Wisconsin my whole family mom and dad uncles aunts all from the cheese 🧀 state g Green Bay 💚

Incredible reaction, as always! The song (and another (pair of) song(s) on the album, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1+2)) IS about their former frontman, Syd Barrett, but it was less addiction to LSD and more the fact that he had SEVERE mental illness that hit in his early-mid 20s, and just sort of came undone. The LSD certainly didn't help, but I think that the general consensus from health professionals who know the story is that he had some sort of schizoaffective disorder that was emerging even prior to the drug use. It's a really tragic story. I think it was Gilmore who told a really rough anecdote: they were in the studio a few years after he left, and an old, disheveled overweight guy came in and was just watching them. They started wondering what the hell this old, weird guy was doing hanging out in their space, and then after a while it clicked: it was Syd, who was their age. His illness had so ravaged him that he was literally unrecognizable. The whole thing deeply affected the band, and even to this day a good 50 years later they noticeably have trouble discussing it.

He didn't leave because of drugs, he was literally going through Schizophrenia and had been for a long time and couldn't take it anymore. Drugs were his meds.

Huge fan of the natural look.

Taylor can you please do my "Immortal" from Evenescien.. brain cancer sucks

pink Floyd is awesome you should do some NIGHTWISH like Ghost Love Score or any of songs I think you would join the NIGHTWISH ARMY!!!!!!!!

So glad you’re experiencing Floyd. You might get more out of the band if you start out by doing their studio versions first. Four guys in the studio versus an entire ensemble group. It’s amazing how 4 guys can fill the sound they do. Roger was a master lyricist, and Gilmore replaced Syd, the guy that too much cid ironically enough. Roger is an adamant anti-war guy, so when I hear this song I feel like I’m listening to a war vet talking to another war vet buddy.

React to “In Hiding” by Pearl Jam

Greetings from Miami. Great reaction! Please check out TIME by Pink Floyd (PULSE live).

OH: THE LYRICS!! My late husband KNOWS this is dedicated to HIM, today!!

My dad and I would listen to Pink Floyd. I saw them in concert in 1994. Amazing! My dad passed away in February of 2022. I miss him so much and thankful I have Pink Floyd’s music to help me feel close to him.

Study the origins of hallucinogens and there effects. There's a very complex and interesting history.

Correction - Syd Barrett the former front man for Pink Floyd that this song is partially about, did not drop out - the band left him behind because his descent into madness, initiated by probably overdosing on LSD left him incapable of communicating, or playing/singing his parts on stage. To get a better sense of how the band viewed this loss (he was a childhood friend of both Roger and David, and I believe Nick too), listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Syd's descent (to insanity - his dissociative state was mental and permanent) "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun... Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky". David, Rick, Roger and Nick all describe their recollections in Edginton's documentaries. David Gilmour has a tour right now for his latest album, and the concert features Wish You Were Here. Here he is at 78 years young, last Friday evening in Rome: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OBYvL-3iuFo.html ( David Gilmour - Wish You Were Here [Live From Circo Massimo, Roma🇮🇹 (27/09/2024)] ) Not only has David created some really excellent music, but his musical genius and looks have been passed on to his daughter Romany: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hCQcKUtg9kc.html ( David Gilmour - Between Two Points (Explainer) ) A lovely photo album of Romany growing up set to one of David's tunes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T_gQ_D5yhAE.html ( David Gilmour and Romany Gilmour - Kokineli ) Can you imagine having David Gilmour as your dad and music teacher? And she so looks like a young David! And she is on tour with him now, performing some lead and backup singing, as well as her harp.

There's a band called Nightwish that does a song called "Song of Myself", which is a stream of consciousness from the keyboardist...the main songwriter. I think you'd like it. Live at Wacken 2013, by the way.

Leave a light on Papa roach Unforgiven metallica Unforgiven II metallica Eye of the storm pop evil Skeletons pop evil Bring me to life evanescence Nightwish

When you have a moment, I think a powerful song would be Car Radio by twenty one pilots

I was 12 when I heard Pink Floyd the first time. I still listen 45 years later. Each album makes me feel different things, even today. ... Great reaction.

This song always reminds me of my dad now.. Pink Floyd was his favorite band and he would play this song on guitar and sing! 😭

Pink Floyd is my absolute favourite band and I enjoy watching reaction videos to their music. However, they are definitely a band that deserves full album reviews to really get the context and impact of their music. At least for DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall.

I am one of those fish that swim lonely in a fishbowl after the death of my wife. That's life, and what you can't change, you have to learn to accept. I wish you were here, I often say to my late wife, and I hear her voice like an echo. I am already 70 years old, and alone in a dark old flat, I realise that I have only had one friend all my life, and that was my wife. I don't listen to the song very often because it is painful. I used to play it a lot on guitar as a teenager, but that was in a different world full of possibilities, wonders and life paths.

That intro rif that hits you in the feels, it does that for me too. Not sure if the reason is the same, but for me, it's because it's played on a 12-string guitar. They are among the most beautiful sounding instruments in my experience! May I make a humble suggestion, if the channel format allows it, you need to listen to a full album by Pink Floyd, instead of just individual songs. Each album tells a story, from start to finish. The album this track is the title track of is one of my favourites, and also among the shorter Floyd albums (around 45 mins) (whereas 'The Wall' is about 1h40?)

As great as this song is, in my opinion they express their feelings about Syd Barrett more in the song "Shine on You crazy Diamond"....There is a great live version from this same concert that I would recommend that you react to, if I may be so bold.... Wherever life finds you I hope it finds you and those that you love safe and well....AHIMSA!!!!

OMG, can't believe you're from WI. Never would of guessed. I'm in GB and have been for most of my life.

FYI... If you've ever been to a Pink Floyd concert, you will know that they don't use fog machines. All the "smoke" is from the audience.

I really like your reactions, try the song whole by flaw, song is about the singers mom suicid€..😢😢😢

you so have to do Far Behind.............................. and then When the Tigers Break Free

Love this channel! Honestly I was suprised you haven't done any reactions to any of Marilyn Mason Songs. Marilyn Manson: “Music is the strongest form of magic.” I would suggest starting off with (Man That You Fear) or (Tarnique) Honestly all of his music is deep and thought out. It would be nice to get your insight on it!

So I just lost a friend who I'd been friends with for 30 years. We went through separate terrible childhood traumas and got each other through them. We fought through addictions together and sobriety. We continued to try to navigate mental health issues together throughout our lives. She died 2 years ago after a long long health battle. I have her ashes in an urn on a shelf in my house. Honestly I'm kinda lost without knowing she's here on earth somewhere. This song kills me every time. Saw Pink Floyd in 1994. I'm going to see David Gilmour in November 30 years later in NYC. I really do wish she was here.

Hi!! I follow your channel from italy and I love it so much! In 2 days I'll go to David Gilmour's concert and this song is in the setlist.... Ready to cry all my tears!!!! kisss

In my opinion...this is the best album they produced. It is seamless. And meant...to be listened to in its entirety as an album. Drop the needle...listen to Side 1...flip the album...drop the needle...listen to Side 2. There is no other way to understand this song without the other tracks

My favorite line in this song: "We're just two lost souls swimmin' in a fishbowl: year after year"...

We, kids of the 70's and 80's, used to get high and go to the local planetarium for Laser Floyd. Pink Floyd music and a laser light show set to the music.

I feel like Metallica wrote similar lyrics in Damage inc. Pink Floyd’s “a walk on part in a war, for a lead roll in a cage” versus Metallica’s “Living on your knees conformity or dying on your feet for honesty” (but English is not my native language so I don’t know for sure)

Could you react to Good Things by Ekoh and Lo Spirit? I think it's something very fitting for your channel.

I have always found, or told myself, that I’ve needed to be in a specific mood to listen to Pink Floyd. Ironically, the only time I listen to them is always randomly. Your analysis and positivity Ms. Taylor, makes me emotional when I didn’t even know there was emotion in songs I’ve listened to for years. Thank you for doing what you do it’s a godsend in my opinion!! Thank you to everyone @heartsupport you’re all phenomenal individuals!!

Best live experience ever, and I've been to a gazillion shows in my 55yrs. Perfect blend of audio and visual, you feel it in a way that 99% of concerts just cannot achieve.

Hey😊 You should definitely listen and react to Doomed by Bring me the Horizon. Fits your content perfectly😁

Way back in the last century, when I was in high school I had a part time job after school in our local mall. I worked in the stock room of an Ormonds clothing store. Well behind the register they had a cabinet with a turntable in it that played throughout the place. They'd get records from the Sam Goody's music store and the assistant manager would pull up ZZ Top, Aerosmith, the Stones, and a lot of Pink Floyd.

I know what this song is about. To me I heard this song playing while I was riding home with my grandpa after my brother had just died. The sunset was absolutely beautiful over the Sonoita sky. I'll never forget that moment. My lost hero spent in song with my ultimate hero. Both in tears, even though he has no clue who Pink Floyd was. A band my brother introduced me to.

Pink Floyd will, always, get a like. They transcend genre, and they don't play fair.

this was the theme to my 9th grade semi-formal..... picture 9th grade boys with tables decorated with fishbowls with 2 live goldfish in each one. needless to say boys that age aren't very mature and will do and drink anything on a dare, apparently!!! was not impressed with my peers that night, left early, tried to save a few but didn't happen. ugh. Anyway, I've always loved this song, have friends that can play and sing this very well, especially around a campfire

Pink floyd has a special place in my heart. Back in college, my cousin and I would listen to the wall or dark side, beginning to end in my old buick while smoking a fat blunt. Great times. Miss those days...

These lyrics are really amazing. Maybe the best by Waters? That's saying a lot, but....

Long time Pink Floyd fan here, love your reaction and comments 👍

Oct 3rd is suppose to be my wife and I’s 9 year wedding anniversary and we split in February 😔

The line....."walk on part in a war, to a lead role in a cage', makes me think of Vietnam, during the draft. Dodgers went to jail.

Factually, this album and the Wall by Pink Floyd are two of the deepest and most meaningful albums anyone could listen to.

If you lied this than Shine on you crazy Diamond you will love, Not many people find it emotional but it moves me. The Lyrics are one thing, but if the song had lyrics (like Great gig) the music tells you everything that needs to be said

"Did you exchange a walk on part in the for a lead role in a cage." Is my fav part. Always took it to be asking the question....is playing the lead role(what many aspire to) in a small confined thing realy more significant than a small role in something much more important.

This was from the Pulse concert film from 1994, which in my personal opinion is the best concert film ever. The only issue is that they recorded the video to tape instead of film, which is why they can never fully remaster the video.

Timeless music and musicality. This is why Pink Floyd rates in music lovers top 10 lists of all time.

Pearl Jam-Jeremy.. It’s based on the story of Jeremy wade delle! Really sad.

My other fish (yes we were both Pisces) walked away so now I'm just one fish now. Guess nothing wrong with that.

I recommend taking a listen to some of Jeff Buckleys music, such as Grace and lover you should’ve come over.

Hi David gilmour from pink Floyd is a brilliant guitarist you should listen to more of him. I loved your ren reactions aswell. ❤

I hope you can check Shine on you crazy diamond! Cheers, great reaction!
