"Meditating on a spaceship" is a good way to describe Pink Floyd.

I'm gonna give you some advice that many others either will, or have already said. This album (and by extension, a LOT of Pink Floyd albums) should be listened to in their entirety, in running order. This album especially, because each track flows into the next. Picking an epic track like "Time" does you a disservice as a first-time listener. It'd be sort of like opening a book to a random page, and beginning reading 2/3rds down that page. You can understand the words, but they lack context. The entire Dark Side Of The Moon album is only 45 minutes long, and it's 100% pure magic. It's worth the time invested, because it's so beautifully engineered. Even if you don't react on camera to any more tracks on this album, you should absolutely sit in a dark room with the headphones on, close your eyes, and just let it take you on a ride. "Time" - it's all about exactly what you thought. Don't waste a second, because 10 years (or 20, or 30...) gets behind you pretty quick.

“I’m 18 years old. Pink Floyd is making me question my existence” Lol.

Listen to this song in 10, 20, 40 years and the meaning is even deeper.

"What have y'all done to me? You got me over here questioning my existence." Welcome to Floyd, son. That's their job and they're good at it.

"That didn't feel like a 7 minute song ...that felt really short..." Like life? This song plays with your sense of time, the rhythm changes and the structure of the song are designed to push you and pull you, back and forth, so that you are so busy trying to keep up, that you don't even realize how much time is passing. Also check out the rhythm during the verses, very Caribbean.

The eleventh commandment "Thou shalt not interrupt a David Gilmour guitar solo....ever"

Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. That triangle is a prism, it splits white light into a rainbow. This is going to be your new favorite band. Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest selling albums of all time. Back in the day this was the album we used to test high-end stereo systems. Some have called this the greatest recording ever made. I know you can't do it in a react but the album is designed to be played in its entirety. The next track from this album you should do is the Great Gig in the sky. Or Money.

What a lot of younger listeners don't realize is that back in the days of listening to an LP album, you would get home, open it up and just listen to the whole thing in one go, and bands could use that medium to experiment, play, and do some really unique things without having to worry about every track being a marketable single.

The album Dark Side of the Moon entered the charts in 1973, and STAYED THERE for 11 years.

If you look at the lyrics of (Time), keeping in mind previous tracks, (Breathe and On The Run) The first part is about a younger man, "kicking around", wasting his time, with "time to kill today". "Then one day you find 10 years have got behind you" - he never started his dreams, his life. "So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking" - trying to make up for lost time, but it's a fruitless effort..."the sun is the same in a relative way but your older" The universe marches on but he's now older, and "one day closer to death". "Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time, and plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines" - you still have those dreams, those aspirations, but now life seems to interfere or you just can no longer make the effort, and instead merely "hanging on in quiet desperation". "the time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say" he's now dying and thought he'd leave behind a better legacy than he has, but instead is leaving behind so many things unaccomplished.

I’m 65 yrs old. I saw Pink Floyd live doing this whole album Dark Side of the Moon when I was 18! Best band, best musicianship EVER! I love that you get it! At the time, we did too!

There is music, and then there’s Pink Floyd!!

Jojo this band inspired TOOL. They are pioneers of progressive rock. ✌ More FLOYD.

Good to hear this at 18!!! Don’t fritter your life away!!!😉👍👌✌️

This song is written just for you Young Man, Jojo, as Pink Floyd traveled time to tell you that you will go through this life, sometimes aware, and sometimes unaware of the zest that you have, and the efforts you make to have a good life... Do not get down the road to look back and say, "I regret not have spent my life to the best of my ability." GOD Bless You Young Man and your Path Forward!

"Y'all got me questionin my life and I'm only 18 years old!" - Lmao 🤣 love that

Just yesterday I was 17 and tripping on this music. Now 64, and watching you listen to this consciousness expanding song, is heart warming. You have only just begun your journey down the path. You will serve yourself best by doing your own research on this music, and greater life events, and history as you and I were taught.

Pink Floyd is a musical journey 😎. SO happy hearing that your naturally picking up on the subtle part of it out of the box. Your in for a fun trip & BTW they require headphones.

Never, EVER, interrupt a Gilmour solo.

They take a spacey trippy song and make it deep and existential. And also manage to fit in a sick ass solo. Dope song!

Every Pink Floyd song takes you on a journey. Just hold on , you've just started your trip down the rabbit hole

If you like the background vocals in that you should check out the song that's either one track or two after that called the Great Gig in the sky

Their music has definitely stood the test of time. Relevant then, now and beyond. 💕

P.S. never pause David Gilmour solo .. 😉👍 When you have 17min. react to Pink Floyd - Dogs .. 🎸🎶

47 years this album has been traveling through the universe

That art is called a prism, it is a crystal that separates light into its component colors.

Yes! More Pink Floyd please 🤗🎶🔥🕳🐇 They are known for their long intros, deep lyrics & for taking you places in your mind. David Gilmour (on guitar) is considered one of the top 5 GOATs. (#1 to me, lol)

Jojo FLOYD is a concept album progressive band. You really need to listen to their full albums from start to finish. ✌

JoJo... I've been watching Pink Floyd reactions for going on 3 years now. After reading ALL posts to this reaction (to this point in time), I'll say this much. I agree with my PF family of die-hard fans when they say "don't ever pause during a guitar solo" on PF. Why are so many jumping on you for doing so? That's easy. David Gilmour is one of those GOAT guitarists you talk about. The man can use that guitar of his to stroke, coax, cajole, poke, prod, and even take your soul out of your body and play with it. To us PF fans...he's simply an instrument of God that HE uses to reach our spirit. Wake it up even by giving it a nudge to remind us that it's still there. Simply put.... You slammed the brakes on our "Solo Soul Ride". This was only your first PF song. You'll understand after a few songs. Speaking of which. My fan friends listed the albums of PF, from the early days with band founder Syd Barret, up to their last album "The Endless River". I'm not a fan of the early PF with Syd in the band. He was a little "too far out there" for my tastes. So I am what's considered a post Syd fan. Syd was replaced by David Gilmour (they were really good friends). If you really really want to enjoy PF, I am going to advise you not to do any of the Pink Floyd Live PULSE concert songs from 1994 (chill out fans, I'm not done) until after you have listened to the studio versions first. PF PULSE concert is one of those concerts (double DVD by the way) in which EVERY song on it blows the studio version out of the water with the exception of Great Gig in the Sky. Personally, I can go either way cuz I like both. But just a note to you. The studio version is one singer whereas PULSE took 3 to do what the one did. I would advise doing the Wish You Were Here album (front to back). It's a tribute to former band member Syd. Reaction tip.... Do Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1 - 5) first reaction (it's a long song) Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar in the second reaction video and finally, Wish You Were Here and Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6 - 9) in the last video. Have fun with this rabbit hole JoJo!!!

The intro is Time itself, dark, creepy, can't be stopped, we all think we have all the time in the world but a look over our shoulder and 10 years are gone and in the end we still couldn't do 50 % in life what we wanted to do. That is the message here. Enjoy life but don't take it for granted

I was 17 when I started listening to Pink Floyd. It has changed my life, not even joking. This song in particular has a deep meaning. And you'll find yourself listening to it again when you're 30, 40,... and the meaning will change over time. Life is a constant race against time.

Also Pinkey "Pink" Anderson and Floyd Council were two early blues pioneers who influenced Syd Barrett which is why he named the band Pink Floyd.

Take 45 minutes and listen to the whole album uninterrupted. Headphones on, lights off, and only lyrics on your phone. It never gets old.

One of my all time favourite songs. The line "The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death" just hits me everytime.

It’s a big ask to expect a teenager to appreciate Pink Floyd’s music. As you get older, their music and messages hit you between the eyes and you slowly start to appreciate why they were (and still are) the greatest ever rock band that has visited this planet!

they would be categorized as a psychedelic band. Dark Side of the Moon was on the top 100 albums list for over 700 weeks straight.

Time: Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown, waiting around for something or someone to show you the way Tired of lying in the sun, staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun Well you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over Thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones besides the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

You need to listen to the whole record (Dark Side of the Moon). No cap.

The most unique band ever

Welcome! Dark Side of the Moon was on the Billboard charts for 15 YEARS (1973-1988). Pink Floyd were into making "concept albums": an album whose tracks hold a larger purpose or meaning collectively than they do individually. This is typically achieved through a single central narrative or theme, which can be instrumental, compositional, or lyrical.

More Pink Floyd please never to much. Give a listen to " Great Gig in the Sky" it's a master piece. Enjoy

"It's like meditating on a spaceship" I've never heard PF described better. Thanks, I'm using it 🥰

7:22 You can dance to anything you want, Buddy. The guys in Floyd would love it. They just wanted people to enjoy their music, and maybe learn something. Sound like you are doing both. You seem like a good kid. I wasn't. I was a very angry kid, who grew up abused. Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" is effectively one story, the whole way through, and it's about how pain shapes us, and can destroy us. Falling in love with that album literally changed my life and made me a better person. If you want to react to something ambitious, do THE WALL in its entirety. That would be cool. Keep it up, man. Your videos are great.

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the world’s best selling albums of all time. Worth listening to in full. It was on Billboard’s top 200 albums for 15 years straight.

Got to listen to each album from beginning to end. You miss if you don't. One of the greatest bands in the history of music.

Between your Floyd reactions and your Rush videos, it's being very enjoyable watching your journey into classic rock. Not unlike many of us did when we were your age... I'm 52 and still love the music, and I'm rediscovering the emotion behind my appreciation for it. Keep up the videos and keep discovering!!

The song is a metaphor for life. It starts young and fast, then you get really busy and hum drum, then regretful and old, and die. Their follow up to this is the Great Gig in the Sky, where you feel the emotions to the same three.

I had fun watching your reactions man. Loved seeing you find your groove too. It gets everyone just like that.

Wow! I'm so happy to see you experience Pink Floyd. Favorite all time band. Sooo glad you wore headphones!!!

I met Pink Floyd when I was ten years old. Lay on the floor, head phones and lyrics. What a fun childhood.

In my opinion, every great band had an anthem. Some had many and Pink Floyd is just one of those bands. Time is a classic as are many of their iconic songs. I'm glad to see a young man like yourself hearing this and loving what you hear. Damn near everything they did was and is epic! Enjoy my friend, and God Bless!

As many have said, the lyrics make this song so much more profound. As the title would imply, time makes a huge difference in hearing this song. You're lucky to be hearing this at 18. Listen to it again in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and it will be significantly different every time. It only gets better.

This song is about the sudden realisation that life doesn't start when you've broken away on your own and start preparing. Life started years ago and you've spent most of your time preparing for it, not realising that life has been going on all this time. The next song after this, The Great Gig In The Sky, concludes the song's theme of aging through a vocal description of Death.

“Am I even listening to a song right now or in a time shuttle traveling through the galaxy?” ME: “Yes”

I've been assuming all these years that the younger generations have heard most of the classics, at least a little bit. But after watching reaction videos, I see that they haven't heard hardly any of the classics. It must be so different and profound.

Gotta re listen to this song every 5 years or so... The message changes the older you get... Powerful song for sure

This was way back in the days when bands actually "created" music and concepts with meaning...not just 3min soundbites :)

Awesome reaction. Brings tears to my eyes seeing a young man like you discover a great song like this. I was surprised when you said you are only 18. I thought you were at least into your 20's. You present yourself very well. I enjoy your videos!

Great observations and from such a young man. Well done!

Meditating on a space ship. So true though. 🤩

"y'all got me over here questioning my existence!" - this guy gets it.

Man, if this is your first Pink Floyd, keep listening. It's an experience. They have so much incredible music.

Pink Floyd started as an Avant Garde experimental band. "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and "Saucer full of Secrets" pushed the envelope. They (along with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention) enabled bands like Queen and Jethro Tull. "Several Species of Small Furry Animals etc..." or "Live at Pompei" is how they started. This is a Roger Waters Concept Album, and a great one. I rember liking them all.

Yeah and you're only 18 years old! Imagine how this song hits if you're 30, or 40, or 62 like me. Everybody examines their life after listening to this song. One of the greatest, most relevant songs in the history of rock and roll!

You're having an experience that many people have when listening to Floyd for the first time. Now get your headphones on, turn out the light, close your eyes and listen to the whole of "Dark Side of the Moon" from start to finish, you will then know what Pink Floyd are all about. Then find the "Pulse" live gig from 1994 and listen to "Comfortably Numb" to hear best guitar solo of all time. 😁

Nice reaction, thanks. This is called progressive rock, or prog rock. As far as the meaning, for me: You have to make things happen yourself; don't wait for something or someone to drop an opportunity in your lap, cuz it doesn't happen that way. Any Pink Floyd suggestion is a thumbs up. Looking forward to more.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying your first Pink Floyd song. It is a song about life and how quickly it can go. My brother turned me on to this album in 1974 and it was life changing. It gives you the realization that when you’re young life seems long but before you know it.....you missed the starting gun and ten years have got behind you! When we’re young an hour seems like a day, a day seems like a week, a week seems like a month and a month seems like a year; after 40 a year seems like a month, a month seems like a week, a week seems like a day and a day seems like an hour! Great reaction my friend!!

One of my favorite bands. Awesome stuff. Huge library to check out.

Excellent assessment of this song. I enjoyed your appreciation for this great music.

Love watching your reaction. You hit it on the head when you said that it makes you question your existence. The whole album is about just that. Life, death and the meaning of existence. Listen to it from beginning to end and you'll get the whole message. I am so grateful that I grew up in the greatest era in musical history. Welcome to it young man!

"But in the meantime, Im getting lit" Love it. Such a good reaction. You are so young and I'm so glad you are listening to this and receiving it the way you are. You really appreciate what they are doing in this song. Letting it move you and take you where it takes all of us. To that place. Thank you!!

It was lyrics like this that molded generations to come. Welcome to the club.

1973 was the first time I listened to Floyd . I’m still listening 2021. I’m still hearing new tones . This music is a common thread in my life thru all these years. Good times bad times rich and broke, prosperity and travels . This music has no equal.

I just found you yesterday . Kinda binge watching I asked you to do this before I saw you already have. Glad I found you.

Classic unique music. I was not a fan initially, but as I matured I realized how influential the music is and has been,,,,,,,,,

Thank you JOJO you got it and for an 18 year old it is good to remember these words. I'm 63 and now a big fan of yours because you get it. Pink Floyd got me with this album while I was in high school. They are an English rock and soul group and were huge in the 70's.

Watching you get your head around all that is Pink Floyd is a joyous thing. There’s so much more to hear!

So glad you got the RnB, groovy feel of this. You can hear gospel influences all over this album (check out "The Great Gig in the Sky", which I think should never be cut off from "Time"). A lot of 70s rock is funky af

Excellent response and analysis Jojo. Also humorous at times. Dancing ALWAYS allowed.

Great take, I love those funky guitar fills too

No other band in the world like the Floyd. Truly unique.

Right about 5:00...you are the first reactor I've seen actually have a revelation as to what the song is really about. For that, I thank you sir.............. And just so you realize, this album was released on March 1st, 1973. I was 23. I STILL dig the hell out of it...

Damn, what a great f'n reaction, dude. I'm really happy you found out about this.

“Comfortably Numb” Live at Pulse. Greatest guitar solo ever and an amazing visual show.

Pink Floyd introduced us to quad stereo. We hadn't heard anything like it either at first. DSOTM is a piece of art

I'm intrigued to hear more of your reviews.

Two rules I would suggest to reacting to Pink Floyd in the future. First never pause during a David Glimour guitar solo Second refer to rule number 1

😂😂😂 You just got Floyd! The deepest rabbit hole in Progressive Rock from the 70's! This track is from the concept album Dark Side of the Moon (graphic is the album sleeve) If you think this track is dope, trust me, do this album in track order, it will blow your socks off! For reference DSotM sold over 45,000,000 units and charted for somewhere over 18 years! It's an absolute masterpiece. You can do random tracks but that's like reading random chapters from a book. Heads up, if you do take a listen, track one is a really short intro to track two and the album and each track transitions into the next!

Y'all got me questioning my existence! I loved that line HAHAHA!

Your reactions are so good!!! Smooth is a great way to describe PF. That is always how I "felt" their sound. like Led Zeppelin, once you've heard Floyd you can identify their sound right away. I think someone below has mentioned that PF does concept albums and suggested that you listen to an album in track order. They benefitted from the trail blazed by Led Zeppelin with the FM radio market that started in the US - where the new radio genre - FM radio - played longer tracks and full albums versus AM radio that only played singles that were usually less than 3 minute's. They are a fantastic band!! All of their albums are great. This song is from Dark Side of the Moon. The Wall is pretty great too.

the lyrics are deep. it's what they do. that's why you should back it up a couple of clicks when you interrupt so as not to miss anything. Check out "Great Gig in the Sky" the next track on this album.

Start at the beginning of pink Floyd and experience the sound of your life ,this is music

You are a good person. Thanks for spreading good art

The album is an ode to life's journey .. The Innocence of youth. The existential crisis of middle age. Elderly years & finally the acceptance of your own mortality. It is the Mona Lisa of music. Perfect. Untouchable. Unique.

It's not about his life, it's about all of us. But it's not too late for you yet 🙂 Thanks for the reaction. Looking forward to more. God Bless you, Brother!

There is everyone else, and then there is Pink Floyd. They are not exactly like anyone else.

Your in for a journey. Pink Floyd are absolutely incredible. You will love it. They will become your new favorite band. They are musical geniuses that are in a league of there own. There's plenty of great music....and then there's Pink Floyd. You've found it......Welcome.

The words. Meaning. Very deep. Artful masters of their time. No manufactured music here. Each piece hand crafted.

Son, music is a universal language that we can all understand. I applaud you expanding your horizons, getting out of your comfort zone! As others mentioned, do yourself a favor, listen front back! You will be changed forever! Take care my friend!
