Mackey B. Actually there is :)

There's 9 parts

PrincessAutobot SECTIONS* rather. There is that a better word.

Heck, Pink Floyd albums are just that, complete albums. I don't even know why they have individual names for songs. You just have to listen start to end. I imagine they only have "song" names to make the record labels happy.

I commented that there was part 2 (a.k.a. parts 6-9) months ago. too bad he doesn't read his comments.

That's beautiful man

I'm 57 and I was first introduced to Floyd by my 8th grade drama teacher. Floyd is best appreciated after a fatty with headphones on! I too absolutely love seeing the reaction of young people's first introduction to these classics!

I found my brothers stash of vinyl albums, all the usual stuff from 1975. Montrose, Cream, Mott the Hoople, etc, but the Pink Floyd music was in a class of its own. Even though I was only 8 at the time, I recognized it for the greatness that the albums contained. And by the way, Floyd was the best concert I have ever gone to, period. A production like none other.

I have tunes from my band in the ninetees. soundcloud.com/quint-bromley davidmdannov@gmail.com

Hey seewhatis, look into Tool for a harder rock sounding Floyd. I mean they don’t sound like Floyd at all, and have their own sound, but Tool is like Floyd with how it brings out emotion, and how deep the lyrics and over all music feels

And right before that moment, Echoes stand beyond time and space

Bucminster the absolute best comment I’ve ever seen

but Keef Richards was already there when you got there ;)

Well, in fact everyone of us was there in the singularity and the creation if matter :)

@@vladimirzharov8403 We are all made of stars...Carl Sagan. September, 1975, debut of "Wish You Were Here"...1st year at university, way too much tequila and mescaline...took years to graduate!

Nice

Love this! This is a life changing album in my opinion. Love that you were able to share this with her.

tattooedman42 same .. you feel that shit!!

And it needs to be the full album. And only vinyl. Drives me crazy hearing the track gaps in a digital source!

Same for Tool. Tool makes me think but Pink Floyd makes me feel.

If they arent in the rock and roll hall of fame they will be. But im pretty sure they are already

@@danielestrada2417 Yes they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Tijuana, wow I never realized that. I know Pink Floyd and Rush and Jethro Tull were always snubbed and had sooo much talent.

Tijuana Pink Floyd are one of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands of all time.[338] They have sold more than 250 million records worldwide, including 75 million certified units in the United States, and 37.9 million albums sold in the US since 1993.[339] The Sunday Times Rich List, Music Millionaires 2013 (UK), ranked Waters at number 12 with an estimated fortune of £150 million, Gilmour at number 27 with £85 million and Mason at number 37 with £50 million.[340] In 2004, MSNBC ranked Pink Floyd number 8 on their list of "The 10 Best Rock Bands Ever".[341] Rolling Stone ranked them number 51 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[342] Q named Pink Floyd as the biggest band of all time.[343] VH1 ranked them number 18 in the list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[344] Colin Larkin ranked Pink Floyd number 3 in his list of the 'Top 50 Artists of All Time', a ranking based on the cumulative votes for each artist's albums included in his All Time Top 1000 Albums.[345] Pink Floyd have won several awards. In 1981 audio engineer James Guthrie won the Grammy Award for "Best Engineered Non-Classical Album" for The Wall, and Roger Waters won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award for "Best Original Song Written for a Film" in 1983 for "Another Brick in the Wall" from The Wall film.[346] In 1995, Pink Floyd won the Grammy for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" for "Marooned".[347] In 2008, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented Pink Floyd with the Polar Music Prize for their contribution to modern music; Waters and Mason attended the ceremony and accepted the award.[348] They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005, and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame in 2010.[349] Pink Floyd's The Wall exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame The music of Pink Floyd influenced numerous artists; David Bowie called Barrett a significant inspiration, and The Edge of U2 bought his first delay pedal after hearing the opening guitar chords to "Dogs" from Animals.[350] Other bands and artists who cite them as an influence include Queen, Tool, Radiohead, Steven Wilson, Kraftwerk, Marillion, Queensrÿche, Nine Inch Nails, the Orb and the Smashing Pumpkins.[351] Pink Floyd were an influence on the neo-progressive rock subgenre which emerged in the 1980s.[352] The English rock band Mostly Autumn "fuse the music of Genesis and Pink Floyd" in their sound.[353]

@@Charge11 i think i saw you on an episode of men on film, "hated it!!!"

Not too many people will fully understand this

Secret = Saucerful of Secrets? "You cried for the moon" = Dark side of the moon?

It's an incredibly sad love song( album ) to their friend they watched slowly slip away and there was nothing they could do. What makes it so much more painful is there is a story about Syd coming to the studio while they were recording this and they almost didn't recognize what he had become.

you painter, you piper, you prisoner.... It hurts so bad! But also heals the soul!

@@Ziontrainism The secret to life, something elusive he couldn't reach ?

swimrski worldly nicely. Luv it!

Wow. Perfectly stated. Genius. Thank you.

well said. best description of pink floyd I've heard !

Psychological submission, that was indeed well put. It makes the vulnerabilities come up, that’s for sure.

S(hine on)Y(ou crazy)D(iamond)

also "i feel some type of way" perfect way to describe the feeling

Amen! No way to say it better!!

I had that exact reaction.......in 1981. lol.

@@scottmi645 i have that same reaction everytime i listen to these gods

"I don't always listen to PF, but when I do ... "

Lol, that's what my brother told me when he introduced me to this song. "Here comes the four most powerful notes of all time."

gets me every time

Listen to Echoes... Most powerfoul 1 note

I'm -2 years old I was born in the wrong generation

@@gvlman3209 Actually Pablo, Pink Floyd was a band literally designed for people your age and then songs like this are designed for old people like me. They got somthing for every generation.

Keep on it lad. Let the music show you the fuckin way

Listen and reflect on the lyrics for Time. I did at 14.

You're growing goood buddy, keep it up!

amen!!!

Welcome to the Machine.... come in here dear boy, have a cigar... you're gonna go far...

Yep, that should be his next Floyd.

What did you dream, that's all right we told you what to dream.

Hell yeah

LOOOOL FACTS

lol so true. They're way more of a Soul band than people give credit. You'd almost think that's a sleazy Isaac Hayes guitar solo.

I think they sold that guitar for 5.8million dollars.

That would be hilarious if it weren't also so true. That guitar was made love to.

Man, I heard he once broke a G string fingering A minor

Gilmour is of the greatest of all times. I often said that he could say more with one note than other guitarist have in their whole careers.

and singers!

David Gilmour doesn't JUST play that guitar...... He makes it SING !!!! So much emotion conveyed through notes !!!!

Boy, yes!

hey cuz after kert hemmit lead guitarist for METALIC heavy metal band then Gilmore, smile aloha

And three minutes of that look on Preston's face when he's lost for words

And 10 Hold on bruhhhhs...

Nah it deserves more then those things and he gave it exactly what it needed. Just to listen silently and enjoy the ride

The rock gods are pleased with Pink Floyd!!

Haha! awesome

Aliens duh

And be fighting the whole time. It’s as if the conflict brought the best out of them

Something to look forward to then, dementia is waiting for us all :)

Well I got into Pink Floyd because my music teacher did exactly that with us. Thanks to her!

If you wanna hear it live checkout their video called Pulse. You can also hear it live in David Gilmour Live in Gdańsk or Pompeii.

I saw them in Norfolk, VA for the "Brick In the Wall" show....amazing

It's like he is Intune with the frequencies of life and as a retired electronics instructor it makes me wonder about how the human race responds to the frequencies around us, but I'm high cause I'm listening to Floyd.

My first time hearing this track, my friends and I had split cost on renting the local rugby club to host a huge party and had just finished the clean-up. We had a few hours to kill before handing the keys back and found the access key for the jukebox and specifically, the Pulse live album. Hung over and exhausted, the four of us lay on the floor of this giant hall and let song after song wash over us. It was fantastic.

Remember when you were young When you first heard this song?

Hey Donna ! I saw you on Tre's chat... That's all i have to say.

@@glumOr LOL. I like reactions, what can I say.

@@donnaransom3770 :yeah me too :D I like Tre's ones.

a little joint, a good whisky, lights out, the music as loud as possible and you can fly like an eagle...^^

Agreed. Gilmour is not as interested in proving his technical expertise as he is in his mastery of melody and emotion.

Richard Wright is equally as influential on this track and album. Gilmour just gets the credit imo

R.I.P. Sid💔😢😢🎶🎶🎸👊✌

@@Mymloch yes, master of emotional control through melody.

Pink Floyd is the genre.

Dude, sit down and listen to Radiohead. A lot like the Floyd.

Kip Byrum you didn’t just compare Radiohead to Floyd 🤦🏼‍♂️

Two other bands I rank up there with Pink Floyd. Rush Porcupine Tree Imo, all three bands rank the same, but for different reasons. Floyd are the kings of emotion music Rush are so technically proficient Porcupine Tree combine both and do it with precision

One of my favorites aswell !

Álvaro Vega damn how did I not know the anagram!

SONOFA.....!

🤯😳🙀💎

Now I just feel stupid 🙄never saw that coming !

I know most everything there is to know about this song, but I never knew about the anagram

I never said that was his point. Don't take everything so literally. sheesh...

Relax and pop in some floyd

Pink Floyd is so amazing because they're such a singular experience in music. Most other bands, especially in rock music, are so embodied -- you hear them and almost can't stop yourself from moving, from getting revved up, from being pulled in. Pink Floyd does almost the opposite, it's like they reintroduce you to this inner space where you open up and whatever they're playing just floods into you. I think this song and Wish You Were Here are particularly emotional because they were celebrating and mourning Syd all at once and you can't help but feel that melancholy, but man, ANY Pink Floyd can do this to someone who actually listens.

Pink Floyd was never about the band members or even the band itself. It has always been about the music and the visuals in their live shows. The band members where just normal everyday guys. No flashy clothes, just jeans and t-shirts on stage. It was said that if they would go and stand in the audience at a gig, nobody would have recognized them.

True. But I can think of nothing more insufferable than having to listen to EVH play guitar for more than 20 seconds.

Yeah. He isn't my cup of tea either. I get he is very talented, but his style of playing just sounds like a bunch of guitar screeching with some scales mixed in to me personally.

So much yes... Perfectly stated...

Thanks in large part to his fender Stratocaster he named blackie!

It's like he makes the guitar speak

Omg I can't believe all those tracks are on the same album. Incredible

The album rock days. I was just explaining that to my son a few weeks ago. I remember we had one radio station in Dallas that would play entire albums for people who took their music seriously. Good times.

I'd sell my car to experience that day to day

But you stayed😉😁

That is so awesome!!

You better have tipped him well...

I like how when you say those four notes everyone knows what you’re talking about...

TheMurphyaman yeah but that riff is 3 notes. That’s how genius it is.

That door of perception comment just made me realize Preston needs to check out The Doors.

ChrisYT I couldn't agree more with you. David Gilmour's soul comes out thru his fingers unlike anyone else.

Or go really deep, to something like Astronomy Domine or See Emily Play from the Barrett days of psychedelia before they got into the prog rock scene.

Fuck yeah on Animals. My go to album for camping with my buds. All while we sit around a campfire, sharing joints and having beers while watching the stars at 10k+ feet in the mountains here in Colorado. It just makes life so beautiful. No matter what your problems may currently be, they just melt away with a smile and you actually appreciate all the good in the world no matter how messed up it may be.....

Yeah. Animals and Wish You Were Here are my favorite Floyd albums. They're both an adventure to listen through!

@@TriptoCo I do the same shit in Australia mate.

@@chippchipp1 That seems unlikely. considering he played it in concert many times in his solo shows. He stopped playing it after the death of Richard Wright. In fact, there's even a video of him and his band dicking around in the Abbey Road studio, where they break into an improvisational acoustic version. Check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbaIiq6Akquml5c.html

Damn that’s a pretty good idea. I never thought about it, if someday I’m a dad, I’ll totally do it

K JAM imma like this so that everyone can see

He needs to do parts 6-9 -- they rock!

The entire Animals album needs to be listened to start to finish.

Dogs.... the best pink Floyd song. Period.

@@mikemclaughlin3306 i've been saying this for years

Yes, with the lyrics on hands pls.

Pink Floyd - High Hopes

The whole damn Animals album man

garbut Well said mate. I wonder what music Syd would have written if he didn't go mad and kept with it. He was certainly brilliant in the early years, with some considering him to be the godfather of psychedelic music....and plenty of genius musicians wanting to work with him. A sad story but a pretty deep and meaningful one also.

garbut Waters also suffered from guilt that he Hadn't done more to help Syd.

Pretty sure this is plagerized from an article. I've read this exact explanation of their discography and Waters' experience with the band.

@@powerstation0872 I didn't even read the article that you're talking about but three words in and I could tell that this wasn't written for the first time in this comment section lol.... just out of curiosity I Googled the first maybe 10 words of it, and voilà there it is.... 🤷🏽‍♂️ should of sited the article but oh well whatever good article

Emanuel Ramirez Roger Waters called him mad in 'Outside the Wall'. Look it up. It's not an insult even though it may sound like it. Going mad, crazy, mental illness... it's all the same and I mean no disrespect to Syd by it . I love guy and have his picture on my surfboard. Here in Australia we even call each other 'mad cunts' as a term of endearment so perhaps it's a culture difference that you saw it as me Insulting him.

Well said sally

Exactly!

Sandee Lobash this is so true!!!! I’ve basked one this song so many times but never saw the video till now. And I never knew this was a tribute to Syd. Now it makes all the sense in the world:)

Echoes too

My thoughts exactly. Dogs is PF's true masterpiece in my view.

1st time, late at night, lying in bed, nicely baked. Flowing along, chilling, then when the dogs started barking, my dog jumped up and went apeshit barking back. Freaked my shit right the fuck out!

I second both Dogs and Echoes. Emphatically and enthusiastically.

...and it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around. So have a good drown, as you're pulled down all alone, dragged down by the stone.

Xaoz Kort this whole album is a tribute to Barrett, him and Waters were best friends, before he got spun Syd was Pink Floyd.

so is "brain damage"

(S)hine on (Y)ou crazy (D)iamond

This song elicits introspection, but when you know the background of how Syd fried his brain, it is absolutely tragic!

Sometimes I wonder. Maybe slipping into madness isn’t such a bad thing.

I’m glad he’s going down the rabbit hole that is Pink Floyd. I’m trying to get him to react to “one of these days” since he likes instrumentals so much.

I'm sooooo happy tooo :)

Me too 😀😀

Kyle Wessinger Such a good suggestion. Hopefully Preston reacts to it soon.

@@pialpha_1006 live in pompeii

❤️

I lost my mother too. I am twenty eight. I am listening to their songs now, all alone. 😊

digi92 sorry for your loss. You’re never alone. If you ever need someone to talk to my handle is the same on Twitter. Or there are many other resources out there if you need them.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond!

Serai3 This is beautiful and so fully what I’ve always felt but never knew how to say.

:) Floyd's very inspiring.

Serai3 Nicely put. You could’ve sounded cheesy there but you held it down nicely.

Gotta love backhanded compliments. Please find someone else to neg, dude. It don't work on me.

That's exactly how I feel listening to Echoes too.

Agree.

🤘

Ermahgerd erliens!

If you're serious you're an idiot.

@@timothytaggart3289 and if you don't take an extra complement about the pink floyd than you're a the most stupid guy on earth.

Technically this was part 1-5. There are 12 parts that make the song almost 45 minutes long.

I agree with him needing to listen to both parts however there are only 9 parts in the song. Here is a breakdown from Wikipedia "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition ... Eventually an idea was raised to split the epic in two, Parts I-V and Parts VI- IX.

Another one is brian may from queen. Although his solos were never as long he still has that smooth feeling to his play

@@danielestrada2417 yeah I agree with you Brian May makes his guitar sing. He may have been on that top 30 list that I mentioned but I can't recall

@@sammybeck7794 If he wasn't on that list then the list is worthless...

Another guitarist who only is mentioned by other guitarists, is Leslie West.

@@PickleAndy oh yeah Leslie West. He's looked up to by many guitarists. Especially Michael Schenker. He says he has copied Leslie Wests style. When I started learning how to play guitar Mississippi Queen was one of the first things I ever learned so I was totally in the Leslie West and Mountain

That was so good! It was in real time and you can see the mind blown.

That's the truth.

If you're listening to compressed KZfaq audio it doesn't really matter if you're listening through two cans tied to a string.

@@JayTor2112 KZfaq has less sound quality, but it's usually not *that* bad. It won't be perfect by any means, but it will sound decent enough with good headphones.

@@JayTor2112 While I'd agree that KZfaq audio is not the best, it certainly makes a difference between earbuds and good headphones. But more importantly, good stereo speakers with high capacity woofers. It's certainly not the best you can do, but given the source audio it makes a difference. If nothing more than decent bass which you can't get with earbuds.

or KRK rokit 8 speakers

Floydians are special breed of humans. We don’t need many words to understand each other. In that year 1975 i was born. I would give anything for a moment of time in that music store...

I have long advocated Pink Floyd as therapy.Imagine The Division Bell played in hospital wards everywhere.chilled and happy patients,chilled and happy doctors and nurses,result? MORE Pink Floyd fanatics :)

That first riff brings chills up my spine everytime

@@silvanorossi6416 Same here man. Everytime I hear that bend he does. I'm always like "oooofff......dayumm"

Side two every night before sleep.....in the dark....for at least a year after I discovered it, luckily I had a big brother who played guitar and he really fed me the good stuff!

Dont know why? Try allot of acid.

So you wouldn't be surprised to learn that Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright were studying architecture at London Polytechnic when they founded Pink Floyd. Syd Barrett was an art student at that time and David Gilmour studied French literature.

Paul van Maanen Oh That’s why Gilmour speaks french! I didn’t know that thanks!

@@felixcoderre6916 oh yes, he's fluent in French. If I recall correctly he actually has a house in the south of France.

that is the right term for Pink Floyd music: Beautiful.
