TOUCHÉ.....😎

Same here. I was also won over by his genuine interest in the lyrics, and by the way he rewinds a bit after pausing the music. It's a win-win for him and the viewers.

4sure man

I remember the first time I heard this I was 17 & 8months old !!! And every 10 years since I think about the first (time) I'm 63 & 8months again 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

immaculate

Life in a nutshell!

this made me cry

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon!

and today you're 38 and tomarrow you'll be 60 like me

There is no pain...

One can not listen to music without listening to the lyrics, IF the music contains lyrics, of course. I will never understand people not listening to lyrics, that is what the song is about after all.

@@OriginalPuro I mean, yes and no. I think the main thing about music, in my opinion is just to enjoy the sounds. Hence classical music, or listening to music in a foreign language. Though paying attention to the lyrics does add a level

That's a helluva quote right there!

dude,,that hit the spot...

What an awakened quote

I didn't ask to feel dem feels like that bro wat u do to me.

A little advice my brother ; don't stop "Time" in the middle. Save comments until the end.

Adam Edwards well said my friend!

Adam Edwards 👍🏻 Cheers man....

Great reply mara

Well said and exactly what you would think as a pink Floyd fan.

Ironically wasting half your life is kind of what the song is about too.

Listen to Dark Side of the Moon Listen to Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd..

I dig that man

Strait up homes

Once you go Floyd you enter the void

👏👏 well said well said 👏👏

@@Jerrongamereview 👏👏well said too 👏👏

ynotlaz underrated comment and fearless too

YES

Most likely would not survive

or Atom Heart Mother lol

dont overkill it

I have nothing but respect for your age. You came from a time that I can only imagine.

My favorite year in music history and one of the best years in history period in my opinion.

My aunt was talking about how in 1977 when she was 17 she thought thought thought the year 2000 was space age future. I was born 99 and I have deep conversations with her. My daughter is two and will be my age in 2042 and it’s all so insane to think. I’ll be done with my youth by then and she will only be beginning. Time is a cruel beast

I’ve never paid attention as much to the lyrics because the music is just SO good but when you finally listen to the lyrics especially of Pink Floyd’s songs, it makes almost every song their own beautiful masterpiece…

We dont know the rules!

Gilmore knows how to make blues guitar far more profound than it already is

@@maximthefox Why blues? I know that rock originates from blues but I wouldn't call Pink Floyd blues :P

@@pinkraven4402 no they aren't they are psyche rock. His solos are very blues driven though, like very much so. They're certainly more progressive than blues guitar but they're still made up out of the bones of blues licks and blues styling.

@@maximthefox I'm lost now but ok xd

@@pinkraven4402 do you know much about guitar?

That would be a long video

Its not necessary for apreciating the song, but for understanding it better

Indeed!!!

Absolutely. DSM, WYWH, and Animals are all pieces to listen to as single, individual pieces of music. Almost like symphonies (I guess). You can listen to, and enjoy little bits, but the business aspects of recorded music forced the division of those albums into individual tracks. There is no gap between those tracks either.

YES!!!

💯 agreed. I’m just shy of 60.

The brain assesses length/size/mass proportionally and in relation to other things. So when you’re 5 years old, a year is 20% of your life. When you’re 50, a year is 2% of your life. That’s why years seem shorter as you get older.

FACE MELTER ...excellent assessment

Tony Blackwell I’m only 20 and have been feelin this way since 15. This mean I’m an old soul?

And that is why I'm getting "all you touch and all you see, is all you're life will ever be" tattooed on me as a reminder

3000% correct

Sold over 45 million copies, And was on billboard's albums chart for 778 weeks continuously. That's 14 years.

It’s the greatest album of all time, but it’s not even the best Pink Floyd album!

Wish you were here is my favorite

Dark Side of the Mood haha nice

It never ages does it? Sadly we do.

I love what you said, : "Well of Inspiration and it's deep." Just beautiful.

🙏🏻 #truth

I know it’s kind of heart warming. I’m 36 and I’ve seen David Gilmour and Roger Waters on tour. I’m thankful to got to see them when I was in my twenties.

Preach.

And its a well that never dries up no matter how much you drink from it, it keeps right on filling your cup back up. That's the beauty of it. Like now, I've listened to this kind of music my whole life, got it from my Dad. Both of myself and my Dad watch No Life Shaq and many other reaction videos of this music because for us its like hearing it all over again, exactly like you wrote. Just seeing other people get excites and enjoying the music that I have loved my whole life, 40 years, its a good feeling knowing younger people are listening to it as well.

I would love to see Shaq react to this song!! My favorite

And shine on you crazy diamond

Yes "Wish you were here" love it. Me&Wife's wedding song. High hopes would be grate too.

@@JN-yf6gm green is the colour by pink Floyd is also a good wedding song , i think.

Listen to all of link Floyd’s songs trust mee

First time I ever listened to it was on headphones and I could not have asked for a better way to experience it.

I totally agree pink floyd is spiritual. I have a spiritual experience every time I litsen to them , they have helped me as a soul remember who I truly am. Congratulations on you're sobriety, never give up or lose hope.

It’s the day man, hope she appreciates it

Awesome man congrats

Congrats brother🤘

Lee Illman wish it had only taken a song for me to stop drinking.

Me too! Haaha, too good. "Ya'll still there?"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 same here

That is a real reaction! Ha! Dark Side of the Moon the entire album...takes me back to a time where my wish would've been that I never had to leave.

Lol I laughed my ass of for reals when he was looking a little perplexed and then the G0damm was a honest one. That’s what made that shit hilarious.

The reaction was great and we're huge floyd fan too. Our first track "Inner dimensions" is out do check us out and I hope you all will like the song! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJhgnq5zzLGceJs.html

Cosmic Ursa This young man gets it. He gives me hope for the future

Oh man

Maybe you have just a next live, man. Nobody knows. So many people died already, those people were kids, males, females. Young, old, black and white, reach and poor, and all of us will be dead finally. I don't think it is possible to be, and next moment not to be at all, i think we have a complex scheme here, not so simple. Excuse my weak English. With all my respect.

Wow your comment blew my mind. You described life perfectly..

You got plenty of shit to do!

As long as you need my friend, until the end! There is no end however...... as there is no dark side of the moon

Right! They were all still relatively young - but this song is so profound.

yup

Was thinking the same, he should've done that.

Especially in quad! It's a real shame that most only heard in stereo.

cosmicjizz yeah everyone needs to listen to this album start to finish. It’s a spiritual experience. Very emotional

We used to listen to Dark Side of the Moon at late night parties in the late 70s early 80s flaked out on the carpet after to many smokes(drugs)........... Great times.

True

And put on the Wizard of Oz on mute after the last lion roar for gits and shiggles

danielle winkelspecht I remember about the 3rd time I got high a buddy popped in Dark Side of the Moon and I was just gone in the music. It felt like my brain opened up, that was 25 years ago and my perception of Pink Floyd changed from that day forward.

Very true! One of my greatest Floyd experiences was "Laser Floyd" in the '80s. Dark Side of the Moon blaring in a planetarium, on the reclining chairs , everyone high. Send shivers down my spine just thinking about it.

@@Ellen.G I had my first experience of this album at one of those laser shows too only I was on old school acid at the time. It was a life changing night.....

You literally described my first ever time hearing them. Someone told me to smoke a joint, put headphones on, close the curtains, turn off the lights and listen to Dark Side cover to cover. I was completely lost in it. He asked me what I thought of the album and word for word I said, "That's not an album, that's a life experience!"

The first time I listened to this album was also my first acid trip. Danielle is so absolutely right. I have never been the same, nor do I ever want to be.

Furious Storm just rebought this album but vinyl this time

And it was on billboard's albums chart for 778 weeks continuously.. that's 14 freaking years

Bob Gilford I’m proud I’m american and not British !

I'm American. You guys made the best music hands down. Most all of my favorite bands are British.

@@Saboteur709 Cheers mate. There's a lot of good American music out there too, but I have to say the British rock bands that came with the British Invasion made some of my favourite music of all time.

When it comes to making music, the English know what the F they're doing

I grew up in America but in the mids of my teen years really fell for and dove into the love for British bands, starting with the Beatles. The way I see it, American rock really embraces the joys of life. You can say Chuck Berry typifies this with all his songs about youth dilemma's like school, cars and approaching the opposite sex. This partially has to do with the economic high the States had in the 50's thru 70's. Meanwhile British rock was more about the everyday hardships of finding a job, finding your place, and basically fighting against the imposed social structures that curtailed the "don't haves" of the English population. Which is what those kids had to deal with, during the sixties mostly. That difference between American and British rock in the beginning made for very different types of rock bands. Americans have more rouge geniuses, I feel (Bob Dylan, Velvet Underground, Frank Zappa to name a few). The Brits having the more music concept changing bands (Beatles, Floyd, Led Zep, etc.). Of course I don't see this as the absolute truth on the matter. Just my two cents in the hat sort of speak.

Meyzen76 I definitely agree. Whenever I listen to this song, that line always hits me

definitely poignant and thought provoking

"You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking" is the one that always gives me chills, but there's so many damn good lines in this song.

This is absolutely my favorite Pink Floyd songs. So happy Shaq decided to review it.

My real question is has Shaq ever tried LSD????

Speaking of rabbits, White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane would be a good review

Pink Floyd brings together minds and hearts, disregarding all other nonsense.

The wall would mess with his head. I'd love to see it, but it might be a 4 hour video with all the freakout moments

The Wall is Roger Waters egomania on display and beginning of what led to him being kicked out of the band.

Pretty sure 'Breakin the law" will fill his small cell!

Check out some of his other vids. Hes genuinely curious and introspective. As a 24 year old it's cool seeing a grown man go through the same things I went though listening to these songs as a kid. Pink floyd literally expands your mind

Also , while each song has meaning , it may differ person to person and I love that

Exactly what Syd had intended for each and every from the beginning. A huge thanks to Rodger, David and band for carrying it out after Syd was no longer present in his mind. I couldn't agree with you more friend. Greatest music of all time and I love watching others experience it and feeling it as it should be. Geniuses, Evey one of them.

Shaq is a legend. He’s one of like 3 “reaction” channels who actually love music.

Same, became 55 in June and love how the youth of today react to my favorite music.

I'm only 15, buy this is my second favourite song. only Wish You Were Here do I like more

Amen. I would put the album on and turn out all the lights with my speakers pinned up against each ear and listen for hours

55 in may.... My first album was The Wall

@alphadawn2015 lennon I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was like 6 years old with my Dad. These are the album of my Youth. Now I'm 20 and only now I've found some friends that appreciate this group and other Prog groups.

Oh man, I hear you. Watched this reaction specifically for those 10 seconds. That second part is so ethereal, somehow cathatric.

PLEASE check out this song..one of many people's favorites

Agree!! I got to see it live 3 years ago. Unbelievable experience

HANGING ON IN QUIET DESPERATION IS THE ENGLISH WAY

Also my life.

"You run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again". There is so much poetry in this song, and it doesn't have that many words. As an american with a TON of british friends, I have to second Mark Castellanos though. HAHAHA

@@markcastellanos9678 The English are so classy. But I'm American and desperation calls for LOUD. Like "Look out below, human coming in for a landing."

That line makes me think every time I hear it, and I've heard it about 200 times easy.

I think he'd die of excitement on the intro. Worth watching.

yooo yes

Or pigs too

adrenaline he did. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndKRm9uCzq2bdGw.html

YES. Commented that and then saw this. He’ll lose his mind!

Wow - Very well said. Completely agree!

I was 16 when I first discovered this album in 1996 thanks to my dad. It shaped me in so many deep ways and such integral part of my youth. I’m so lucky to know Pink Floyd extensively and for them to be such a big part of my life. 🌈🖤

He’s already done comfortably numb

Marooned would be my number one for instrumental/solo

I see what you did there

He said that was his first Floyd experience.

That man makes love to his guitar. Its emotional and beautiful.

I just saw a quote from Dave Mustaine about David Gilmore being able to say more in one note than Yngwie Malmsteen could say in a hundred.

@@skanderfish3641 Shine On You Crazy Diamond is Gilmour at his finest, the tone he conjures from his Strat, is possibly the best ever, he can move mountains and people to tears.

Well, exept the great B.B. King

@@markandersen793 YES he needs to do a reaction to Shine On next

jason pitcock you could say it’s the reincarnating spirit

Elstons Gun hah, yes you can.

It's the same with 'The Wall'

I didnt know thats cool

The Black Knight always triumphs!

How do I make it through alcoholism? I’m sober for 2 years, but I was drunk for 10. Does it even matter? My life is fucked.

Vic Lagina yesssssss! It’s best to micro dose right before it. About 20 min in, the best ride you’ve ever had.

I bought a Yamaha M800 Amp and Klipsch Bellhorn Speakers just because of this band......and it was worth every penny

Your name is amazing

All time best album ever !!!!

Oh heck yeah! I went thru 4 albums -six tapes and three CDs. I listened to it as a kid and still do at 63😎

The way I phrase it is: "It's my favorite song from my favorite album from my favorite band."

It's a close match between this song and "Us and Them" for me.

@@Saboteur709 No it's: It's the best song from the best album of all time from one of the best bands in the world

The worst song ever made in my opinion

I like that

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time... The time is gone, the song is over, *thought I'd something more to say* About the most devastating lyric ever written. How do you absorb that and not be consumed by despair?

@@reshpeck Absolutely man. And in a way it breaks the fourth wall, pointing out the relevance of the lyrics to you in that moment. Powerful.

@@reshpeck Hey bro, english is my "second language" and I struggle with some things, for example I never understood what "thought I'd something more to say" means, it doesn't make any sense to me. Neither "The 'thought' I would something more to say" nor "I thought I would something more to say" makes any sense in my head. I'd be so grateful if you guys helped me breaking that down. Cheers in advance bros

Arnaldo Alves It's a contraction for "I *had*." So, "thought I had something more to say," which is just incredibly sad. The time is gone, the song is over, his life is at its end, and looking back he is filled with regret. He always thought he would have more time, and so he didn't value it like he should have. Ultimately, his life was unimportant, he had made no difference in the world, or to anyone else. After his whole life, his song, was over and in the past, and there was no more future, no time left, he discovers with disappointment that he never said, had never done, anything worth remembering.

@@reshpeck Oh I get it, I thought the 'd thing was only used for "would", and apparently "had" can also be written like that. Is there any other word that can be seen when we read "I'd" ?

I totally agree the songs by themselves don't do it proper justice. Its like only eating the onions when you got a Philly cheesteak right in front of you.

I agree. There are just some albums that need to be heard from start to finish. This is definitely one of them.

Me too!!

@rachelknepper0811 tired I think my favorite so far has been the Freebird reaction

That line always gives me hair boners. Absolutely haunting

"Every breath you take brings you closer to death".. that shit is deep and true.

Yeah, kudos to Rog Waters, but he did lift it from an American, Henry David Thoreau - “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

As an Englishman it is almost impossible to explain this lyric to anyone who is not English. It is the perfect line of English existence.

@@filfvideos we don't need your explanation, dude. I've lived in quite desperation my hole life, and I know this song since I was 7 and made me cry when I was 12 because I understood its meaning and I felt exactly like that

I'm 20 now. Damn...

When i was in my 20’s I really wasted lot of my life. Working all the time. Now im 53 and i hate looking back and seeing what I missed out on

Tflight2 Don’t worry. It will all work out. God helps those who help themselves. Im very happy to hear you have your priorities figured out . Good luck with the future. You can achieve anything you want.

Tflight2 you are definitely more mature than I was at your age. You should continue on your path. But when you do get that eventual break, find a quite place, empty your thoughts and listen to all of Dark Side of the Moon. It’s a great way to pause that fast forward feeling

Sounds like he talks with a mouth full of marbles.

Po1itica11yNcorrect Cold & Rude thing to say man! I’m glad ppl don’t all talk, look, act, & think the same. That’s a beauty of humanity... ijs
