"And then one day you'll find, ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." One of the greatest lyrics (and life lessons) ever penned! We could all have benefitted from hearing and heeding this in our youth. Good reaction, sir!

This song hits harder every year you are alive.

You need to wear headphones or earbuds listening to Pink Floyd with the sound going back and forth from right to left ear

I'm 70 now. Listened to music through the 60's to the 90's. This album and in part this song. No truer words were spoken.

Grew up on Pink Floyd. This song hits much different now that I am shorter of breath and one day closer to death! 😮

The older you get, the more you appreciate the song

FYI. If you are listening to these top groups from the late 60's, 70's and 80's and are hearing the studio versions, you MUST listen to them on Headphones (as opposed to hearing them Live) That's because often there are many sounds played on the studio versions that are not replicated in Live shows. The switches from ear to ear... is amazing and sometimes astounding. It all adds to the music experience. Cheers.

Pink Floyde, the greatest Band to ever play, write, compose, preform, record, or any other form of music. They are the Bach, Beethoven, Mozart of our time.

Headphones are a must listening to Floyd! You will really appreciate their music way better!

Ideally, when you’re alone, the whole Album should be listened to from start to finish. As it is meant to be heard. Lying down, eyes closed, headphones nice and loud. It’s only 42 minutes. I’ve been listening to it since the day I bought my original Vinyl Album, which was the day it was released in 1973, aged 17. And I’ll never tire of listening to it. ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’. A stunning Masterpiece. Genius. 🎶❤️🎶

John Lennon said, “life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans“.

I believe that "Dark Side of the Moon" is best heard and understood in its entirety. Do yourself a favor and do that someday, okay? That aside, I am SO impressed with your reaction to this... your picking up of the lyrics so quickly really impressed me. Keep it up, young man. Bravo!

This album charted on the Billboard top 100 LP charts for 988 weeks. That's 19 years. For good reason. Best album every made.

Headphones help the whole Pink Floyd listening experience a lot.

Glad some of you younger persons are looking into these bands

Really impressed with how quickly you pick up on the essence of the lyrics, being a hippie from the 60's in England, keep it going man I love it

when that bass and vocals kick in.

Pink Floyd was hands-down the best concert I have ever seen

FYI, their name is in homage to two old black blues musicians from North Carolina, PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council. At first they were know as; "The Pink Floyd Sound", later they shortened it to just "Pink Floyd".

Oh hon, you Really need to listen to Pink Floyd with headphones. Just about all of our old music actually. Technology may not be as sophisticated as today, but the music was mixed by masters and you'll really appreciate it more ❤ And may I add some very wise beyond your years observations of the lyrics. ❤

Timeless. I've been listening to Floyd almost 50 years and am more in love with than ever! Thank you 4 bringing me back.

The thing to remember about any of the tracks from this album, is that the album is really mean to be heard as a whole. Each fade into the next, and are in a specific order. The last bit of this one, thst doesn't sound the same as the rest, is actually a reprise of the first track, Breathe. At the end of the reprise, the reference to a church service is because the next track, The Great Gig in the Sky, is about death and the feelings it can evoke. The album as a whole is about the pressures and problems faced by life in the modern world. Songs about the fleeting nature of life, death, the pull of domesticity, love of money, war, drugs, the rat race, and insanity.

I wish i had taken the advice of this song when i was 20. I spent my 20's partying, by the time i settled down around 30 it was like holy shit how am I 30? What happened to my 20's? Now im 43, Im doing well and I'm happy, but wondering what happened to my 30's. Life goes faster the older you get, so make it count!

Happy exploration, young man. This song was released when I was a senior in HS. Pink Floyd is a part of my life.

Some of us have enjoyed Pink Floyd for over 50 years. I hope you will as well. ...hopefully even longer.

At your age this song is a cautionary tale about waiting and life passing you by until you realise you missed the starting gun. It changes as you get older to a wistful looking back at all the times you let life pass you by. Until you're looking at the next step. The great gig in the sky. You genuinely must just listen to all of The Dark Side Of The Moon in one go to really get it.

It doesn't get better than Pink Floyd. I hope you keep listening because they're one of the greatest and most important bands that's ever been and they've influenced every genre of music. Anything from the albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and The Division Bell are going to be great. And the song Echoes, all 23 minutes of it, is an absolute masterpiece. You also can't go wrong with any song from the Pulse concert. Happy listening! 💗

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, by the best band that ever was. subbed.

You have good taste in music floyd and ren. My favourites. Great reaction. Very wise for a 20yo. Now listen to whole album by yourself with headphones. Will blow your mind!

Really, MDreeezy. It is amazing, that a young man of your age listens to these roots of modern day music and that you enjoy it as much, as we did in our youth. I am 51 now, GenX, child of the 80s and 90s, but however, we always listened a lot to the music of the 60s and 70s. Let me give you a short information on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd. It was an album dedicated to their former band member Syd Barret, who put them on this experimental music train and regrettably lost his mind by too many drugs and even by mental illness. He was a music genius. He still appeard on their iconic concert film "Pink Floyd Live At Pompeji". So, I recommend this even to you, especially the long version of "Echoes".

The clocks and heartbeat were the beginning of a precious life whereas The tolling of the iron bell was the end of life. This song came out when I was 10 in 1973 I believe and I used to sing the lyrics all the time, but they hit harder and harder every year you hear this song as you begin to understand the older you get the faster the time goes by so sitting around at a young age is a waste of a young life. Kids today sitting home playing video games all day are lost generations! Your 20 soon you're going to look back and 20 years then 30 years will be behind you. They go quick now I'm 60 my daughters going to be 40 in a year and I'm still wondering WTH happened to the last 40 years of my life. Enjoy life man before you know it, you'll be my age wondering the same thing! Good job on the reaction!!

At 67 yrs it still makes me jump 😊

Diggs deeper into my soul every "Time" I hear it! 58 and holding.......

This is why this album is called a classic....it speaks across the generations.

The guitar solo in this song is one of my top 5 favorite solos of all time. Not flashy, not fast, fits this song perfectly and so soulful

The whole album is birth with the opening heartbeat to the last heartbeat on the last song. I saw that in a comment and never really knew what the concept was on this album until then. The first song starts with a heartbeat and then you have the middle part of life chasing money and then the last song is about death.

Wow! You impressed me. Just by the intro of the clocks and the FIRST lines you grasped the concept of the song. Well done! Look forward to seeing more of your reactions and I'll probably send some your way with links of those I think you'll enjoy

Take the time to listen to the whole album with headphones uninterrupted. It's only 45 minutes. The first time I did that I was 15yrs old in 1978. I still remember what it meant to me then. I listen to it every couple of years. The feelings about the songs change in very profound ways. I'm 61 now. Be well. Be happy. Cheers!

This album, in its entirety, is a must listen.

This song is timeless. Your reaction shows as much. Great music lasts forever.

It's fun watching you experience this for the first time. Often when I listen to this album, I get myself in a state of mind like I've never heard it before, so I can fully experience it. For a lot of my young years, I felt like I was in pre life. When I get out of high school, when I finish college, when I get a job, when I get a better job. I didn't even realize I was actually living my life. I actually had a lot of fun.

The message is live every day as if it's your last,with respect to those around you

I searched through several reaction videos for someone who did more than just vibe with the music but also considered the words. Well done, young man. You got the message. Yes, the music is amazing, but the words are so profound.

An entire lifetime in a song.

Pink Floyd is it for full sonic experience. Headphones adds a whole new dimension to that experience. Highly suggest you use some for your next Floyd excursion should you decide to do so.

What a perceptive young man! 5 or 50 years time is precious! This album could win a Grammy for engineering in 2024 and yet it is 50 years old. AMAZING!

Pink Floyd, takes you on a trip

I really enjoy the way you decipher the lyrics. Just a little history for you. I'm 71 years old and I saw Pink Floyd when the played The Locarno in Coventry in 1972. They played the whole Dark Side of the Moon album in surround sound for the first time. The original album title was called Eclipse. They later changed it. PS. Chuck Berry was on the same bill. What a night.👍

Love seeing you discover this! I’m an old grandma but have listed to this all my life!! Keep going It will expand your mind ✌🏼

the late 60’s /70’s was the best music ever so good on you for checking it out.

Ow my goodness I'm 25 now rings a bell, the older you get the quicker time passes , One of thee best floyd choons.

Nice reaction, my young friend. You got everything one could get from this perfect piece of art, the beauty of music itself, the instrumental virtuosity and the message of course. As a 55-year old rocker and one who has been listening to this for 45 years and admiring it, I'm happy to see that younger generations are enjoying and understanding it. Thanks & cheers.

Most of the music from the 70’s & 80’s have a message or a lesson. These are songs that I grew up with but as I get older and listen to reactions I realize that when I was 16-17-18 I wasn’t paying much attention to these messages, I just liked the music. Don’t let that happen to you

Dark Side Of The Moon is the album that first turned-me-on to music. It was also the first album (vinyl) that I’d ever bought. It’s amazing how that discovery helped to shape future events in my life. From the little acorn grows the mighty oak.

Imagine being 20 years old when this album was released, this is one of the most important albums and music of your life. Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' was the first album I ever bought. It is a concept album with meaning flowing from song to song. You should watch the entire Pink Floyd 1994 Pulse Concert Earl's Court London, you'll want to have been a 20 year old attending that concert then, there will never be another like it. They spent $54M on that show, just the copper vapor lasers that never had been seen outside a physics lab before cost $250K each. I'd invest in a big screen, 5.1 DTS audio system, and get the remastered Blu-Ray just to pretend I was there, crank the volume until the bass shook the house. Since you say you've listened to some Moody Blues, they also have a concept album, 'Days of Future Passed,' that if you check out the cover art and pay attention to the songs it covers a day. Very worth listening to as well.

Super impressed at 20 yrs old you get life. No matter who you are, if you want something you have to go out and make it happen. So many people (I’m no exception) have wasted so much time waiting for the right time to go after your dreams or whatever it is you want. Life is not linear like you think when in school. I’ll study this, then I’ll become that and I’ll get a job there. No, most people end up somewhere in life so differently than they imagined. Married, kids, not married, no kids, living halfway around the world cuz they met someone at some point and they wanted to be together. Time waits for no one. And time has a perfect winning record versus us mortals. Go after what you want and the sooner the better. Great reaction to one of my favorite songs from Pink Floyd.

My son is a phenomenal guitarist and he said to once years ago something along the lines of. These guys are pretty good but I can play all of this stuff. Which was very true he could play it perfectly. I said back to him yeah i know and thats cool and all, now when you have written a song and 40 years later kids are bragging that they can play your song, get back to me

Great Gig In The Sky is also on that album. It depicts the stages one goes through as they are aware they are about to die. It brings some people to tears, and it has no words, but amazing vocals. Listen to the album version first, then read up on how it was recorded. It's a great story on how artists who are let loose to create, can come up with something everlasting that moves the human soul. Cheers.

Bought this album in 70's when it first got released & it never gets old, this track in particular is a favourite of mine & gets regular play.

Great reaction! Love that you get Pink Floyd, can’t get any better, they are the best ever

Listen the the whole album, with headphones…and you’re right the back up singers are amazing. When you listen with headphones you sounds are coming from all over the place. Dark Side of the moon is a masterpiece! ☮️ and ❤️. 🥰

very insightful! just wait til you're looking back at 60+ years. and wondering where it all went LOL

You need to get the whole album and listen to it, all alone, just you. Not stopping it, just absorbing it.

Good reaction. I've seen many react to this song, but few really delve into the lyrics and get it. Always nice to see when someone does.

My favourite LP of all my time 😊

One of the most influential albums of my teen years. I graduated high school in 1976....Floyd and Aerosmith were everything to me lol

Alarm bells are birth. The song is over, thought I’d something more to say is death. Home again is the afterlife. Hear the softly spoken magic spell is prayer at a funeral. My interpretation anyway. I grew up listening to this song and it means more every year.

Love watching you discover this classic! And no music is "before your time" all music is for all time! That's the beauty and my envy of the younger generation, there are literal decades for you to discover from where you sit today! I'll suggest some led zeppelin, either Since I've Been Loving You or The Song Remains the Same

I first heard this song when I was 15. Now that I’m in my 40’s it has a whole new meaning.

The whole album? Stellar.

Great reaction! You need to listen to the whole album from beginning to end to really appreciate every single song and the message.

This youth hears pity most don't! 👍

It's fun watching the young folks listening to great music.

I used to listen to this lying on my bed with a speaker on either side of my pillow and zone out. I’m 65 now and thank goodness I have headphones.

I just subbed after seeing your Stevie Ray Vaughn🔥 "Texas Flood" and Led Zeppelin🔥 "Dazed and Confused" reactions! I'm 72 years old and have seen all these groups live back when I was a much younger man.💯 I saw Pink Floyd in '72, then saw them in the '80s without Roger Waters, then saw Roger Waters without Pink Floyd. Every time I was trippin' on acid.🤯 The music and the lasers.....mind blowing!🤪 Lovin' your content and your reactions!💯 Keep goin' and keep growin'!😁❤️✌️

Excellent reaction young blood.

Sadly I first enjoyed this song and album as a teenager, that was 50 years ago. The meaning has changed for me over that time, now I don't have time to do everything I wanted to do. Wasted days soon turn into wasted years, wasted years soon turn into a wasted lifetime. Although I did not sit for years doing nothing I could have done so much more.

For those looking for a “live Pink Floyd experience” you gotta check out Brit Floyd. Incredibly faithful to the music AND the show. They are just starting their 2024 tour next week.

Watching from Ireland

I bought this album as soon as it came out. Now that I’m 69 the lyrics mean much more. Your reaction and comments made me subscribe. Good job, kid. 💜

10 years have got behind you

You owe it to yourself to keep going down this rabbit hole ❤ I was a teen when the Wall came out, best thing to grow up on!

Best way to experience Pink Floyd's music is with headphones. It's an experience.

Fantastic review 👏👏👏I bought this album back in the 70s and still listening to it ☮️😎

get the album and a set of head phones, you wont regret a second of it. my life time favorite band with Queen pulling a close second

The music of my youth. Immortal.

The song following on the album is The Great Gig in the Sky. Listen to that one now for those great female voices.

Listening to Floyd one is required to use headphones.Remarkable!

When listening to Pink Floyd, you have to use headset. It's a must!

You, sir, are a smart young man!

You are very insightful, and I’m so glad you are enjoying these old classics. I’d love to suggest that you listen to the whole album from start to finish, headphones on, leaning back in a chair with your eyes closed. PF makes music that is a journey, a story. Let it take you away.

DEEP PURPLE Child in Time

Welcome to great music. Went to concerts every weekend. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Peter Framptom, the Who, Heart, Fleetwood Mac etc,

The best song on the album.

Your slight smile as the vocals commenced says you get the PF vibe.

Great review!

Pink Floyd definitely headphones material you'll hear so much more.

Someone made fun of the fact that the band was in the studio at Abby Road playing with clocks and recording them. Here is the result of that "playing around". One of the most iconic songs of my teen years along with Money.

I have been listening to this album for 51 years now.

Imagine being in the studio when he put that guitar solo down!
