This was one of my Dad's favorite songs. I can't count how many memories I have of him doing his "dad" dance around the house listening to this song on full blast. So many amazing memories. Now that he's gone this song as well as every other Pink Floyd song holds so much emotion for me. I truly miss you Dad.

From Wikipedia: "The lyrics describe [David] Gilmour's thoughts on flying, for which he has a passion (being a licensed pilot with multiple ratings), though it has also been interpreted as a metaphor for beginning something new, experiencing a radical change in life, or, more specifically, Gilmour's feelings about striking out as the new leader of Pink Floyd after the departure of Roger Waters. Gilmour confirmed the latter interpretation on the Pink Floyd 25th Anniversary Special in May 1992."

People read the lyrics and listen to the song with the front part of their heads. But very few just let themselves go and submerge into the piece. If you feel the song, you'd understand that he wanted to describe the feeling of flying. I think it's sad people get so obsessed with understanding lyrics that they endup missing the whole point of a masterpiece. This is a song that, without lyrics, would give you the same meaning. The lyrics are just an excuse. It's the sound that matters.

Of course back then I very rarely ever went into a record shop, I didn't have cable, and I never saw or read Rolling Stone magazine.

Like most Pink Floyd songs it is about whatever it means to you at the time. For me it is about taking on some new experience in life that you are unsure of where it may go. When you talked about it being music from a long time ago, I thought, this isn't that old, it doesn't seem that it was that long ago that it came out, after checking I realized that it is already 35 years old.

It's literally about learning to fly a plane. After 20 years of aviation experience as an aviator, there is no mistake that this is flying a plane. You can hear the checklist being followed in between verses. "Flaps: -Set" challenge and reply can be heard. The black ribbon in the first verse is the runway. Stretched to the point of "No turning back" refers to the "Decision Speed" where there isn't enough runway to stop the plane. You have to go airborne. If there is a problem with the plane, you have to make the abort decision prior to that speed, otherwise you have to take off and bring the plane around for an emergency landing if there is a problem. Second verse is about ice forming on the wings which will cause a loss of lift with little or no warning. This can be very dangerous if the deicing system is not working. Our plane used hot air from inside the engine that was channeled through ducts that went along the inside of the leading edge of the wings to prevent ice from forming. Learning to fly is about learning to fly and all the excitement and anxiety that goes along with it.

This is late Pink Floyd era when the band kinda died. Imo the only really good songs in the era from them is High Hopes, The Gunners Dream, and 2 Suns in the Sunset(which I consider top 10 Pink Floyd songs cus it’s peaceful). The songs from pink floyd should all be during the 70s and late 60s, Pink Floyd in the 80s was kinda dead with roger waters leaving. Shine on you crazy Diamond or Echoes are the 2 songs that truly represent the sound of Pink Floyd and are some of the best songs in rock history, especially Echoes. Since echoes might be too long for you guys to react to, I recommend echoes live at pompeii, it’s 10 minutes but absolutely AMAZING. If you want to hear arguably the best solo of all time I recommend reacting to comfortably numb live at Pulse or live at pompeii 2016. Both of those show peak guitar solos. Thé comfortably numb studio version that you guys reacted to months ago is nothing compared to the live performances. Another live performances that’s top tier On The turning Away (which is FAR better than the studio version. If you guys decide to react to on the turning away I HIGHLY recommend the live over the studio version).

The song famously reflects two aspects: the love for flying of David Gilmour (singer and guitarist) that was taking flying lessons at that time, and, at a metaphorical level, the particular moment in which he was called to assume the leadership of the band after the departure of the bassist and songwriter Roger Waters, two years earlier. In both senses, he was "learning to fly". Anyway, the subtle growl you can hear right at the end of the song is the connection with the subsequent song, called "The Dogs of War".

A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) is the first album after Roger Waters' departure. It was a total flop with the critics but still reached number 3 in the UK and US charts and has some really nice songs (Dogs of War, Learning to Fly, Sorrow...). Interesting fact: the album cover features a photo of 700(!) hospital beds on a beach in the South West of England. It's not a photo montage - all the iron beds were brought from London and over two days they were gradually set up as seen on the cover. Here is a document about it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--pgEp90BlfA.html

A good tune about learning to fly an aircraft. Listen to chatter mid song. He’s going through a standard pre-flight check list eg: “strobes on” (the strobe lights you see flashing in the night sky : )

This song is from 1988, 15 years newer than the others Pink Floyd songs you have listening to, Dark side of the moon, wish you were here, Animals and The Wall, is from the 1970s and they are also Pink Floyd best album.

Not every lyric by Pink Floyd is a metaphor, sometimes it is just about flying.

Most popular track from their post-The Wall era? Likely, but not the track from this album I would’ve recommended. I tend to recommend the next track on this album, “Dogs Of War,” a lot. “Pink Floyd is ‘70 & ‘80s…,” nah, Pink Floyd is ‘60s to ‘90s. Also, this album was late ‘80s, (‘87, I think.) I just had to say, I was taken aback when Brad said, “Astral projection,” because, kinda, yeah. Check out the music video for the song. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Yes, people have been astral projecting and all that stuff for ages. Yeah, not a modern thing that there occult stuff. heh.

You should definitely do the song DOGS from the ANIMALS album. It's in essence about current America though written in 1977.

2:39 "It's Pink Floyd - so it's like being trapped in a box in a system." - Lex. LOL! Ok now, this is late '80s and '90s Pink Floyd. Leader Roger Waters has left the band and taken his neuroses with him, for better or worse. Guitarist David Gilmour takes over the vocals and songwriting completely on their final two albums, "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" and "The Division Bell" Several great songs. "On The Turning Away", "One Slip", "Take It Back" and my favorite "Coming Back To Life". Soaring guitar solos abound. Also try Gilmour's solo work from this period: "Blue Light", "Out Of The Blue", "Murder", "All Lovers Are Deranged", "Take A Breath", and "Rattle That Lock".

You really should watch the original video and the PULSE CONCERT 1994

@CoreyP14 2 года назад

also recommend listening to some of Pink Floyd’s earlier hits “Astronomy domine” “Arnold Layne” & “See Emily play” are all classics 🎸

And so Roger Waters and David Gilmour got tired of working together (as often happens) and Roger left to do solo music. Which were IMO more recognizably "Floyd" than the power rock that David (and Nick Mason and Rick Wright) moved to, but this is good, too. For Roger's solo work, try "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking".

@outlaw_80 2 года назад

Love your videos.. Sometimes you guys over think the lyrics.. He's actually talking about the sensation of flying..👍👍👍👍 and it could be interepted of being high..

@bryandeschenes6153 2 года назад

Ahh. Later Floyd. This 87 album is allright but Roger's influence is sorely missing, but the previous album, the 1982 The Final Cut was too much Roger.

@keensoundguy6637 2 года назад

I would think "The Best Way To Travel" by the Moody Blues (from their 1968 album "In Search Of The Lost Chord") is about astral projection, but certainly not this Pink Floyd song.

@neilsmith9066 2 года назад

Great Great Song!!!! Anything Gilmour Floyd from 80s and 90s is absolutely Amazing and way more Inspirational! Not as loney, Try Division Bell most Underrated album of all time

@mikenastasi8927 2 года назад

Pink Floyd wasn't just 70's & 80's, their 1st album was released in 1967. They actually released 4 albums in the 60's. This song however was released in 1987.

How about some Space Rock from 1974. Hawkwind " You Better Believe It " (album version). Would really like your comments on this track. :-)

Pink Floyd's drummer Nick Mason took flying lessons hence Learning to Fly the background sounds are actually Nick on talking/communicating over his headset. Nick Mason Nick Mason has been an airplane pilot for 30 years at this point. He flew fixed wing planes for 12 years before moving on to flying helicopters. He and his band mate, David Gilmour (Pink Floyd front man), both share their devotion to aircrafts. Gilmour actually had his own aviation company, Intrepid Aviation.

"Fatal attraction, holding me fast...how can I escape this irresistible grasp"...he's talking about gravity. Wanting to escape gravity's grasp and Learn to Fly! Nobody can turn a phrase like David Gilmore...except maybe Roger Watters himself. It's a shame the two couldn't work out their differences and keep Pink Floyd running...they've put out amazing stuff separately, but just imagine what they could have done together!

@WhiteSox-mp2wl 2 года назад

You should absolutely watch the 1994 pulse concert version of this. IMO, better than what you just heard. And the stageshow.....

@TheJimprez 2 года назад

That is POST Roger WaterPink Floyd. I saw BOTH shows in Quebec City. Pink Floyd's momentary lapse of reason and Waters' Radio KAOS in the same summer. .. NONE of them are as good apart as they were together. Waters is the thinker and Gilmour is the musician. It just doesn't work as well apart.
