I just searched for "talk talk reaction", and this video was uploaded just one minute ago. What? :D

One of the two steps closer to heaven. The other is called Laughing Stock.

On to the "Laughing Stock" album and the monumental track, "After the Flood"

He literally shares his soul in his music. Always beautiful but also always a bit sad.

Laughing stock is where talk talk really were a post rock band. This song at night with the lights off is so beautiful.

For me the song gives me the feeling of overwhelming intimacy. A deep longing for Completeness.

Really enjoyed your reactions to this album! I hope you will do Laughing Stock as well!

I Believe in You felt like heaven, Wealth does bring you back to earth... or the source, as you say. Thanks for the ride.

You really got the most intimate sense of this song. Thank you!

excelent interpretation. Thank you very much for this

No thank you for allowing this to be such a great community :) It matters to you and we all pick up on that, that`s why people try to say something more than just how much they love this and that. Like your reactions it`s goes beyond surface level, and that`s what I love about this channel and why I try to watch every video.

This is a prayer. He longs for someone to love. "Bear me a witness to the years". And to me it sounds like gospel music.

Justin, you know how I feel about Mark so I’ll just say thank you for doing this full album and I’m glad it resonates with you. (Certainly not surprising as we both hold David Sylvian in high high regard.) I really appreciate being able to gain new ways of hearing my favorite music through your insightful remarks. 🤗

Genius 👍

Check out Tim Burgess's Twitter Listening Parties... he's the lead singer from The Charlatans. Over the past year and a half, he's been getting people from mostly 80s and 90s bands to tweet about their experiences while everyone who is tuning in listens to an album. No streaming - you just listen to the vinyl or CD or whatever that you own, or use your own streaming service to listen along. It's really amazing to realize some of the people following along have been listening to an album for 30 years, and for others, it's a first time. Awe-inspiring, really. Love your channel, and the way you connect with bands like Talk Talk and Genesis.

Nothing more superlative to say to this,this song,but wow! Now about the dulcimer- 'if you pick it, it will never heal'!!!And it's a lifetime wound if you wish it. Peace.

Some post Talk Talk suggestions - members of Talk Talk went on to make these: O'Rang-"Mind on Pleasure;" Catherine Wheel-"Heal," "Fripp," or "Eat My Dust...;" Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man-"Tom the Model" Maybe "make" is too strong, "were musicians on these" might be more fair.

Slightly, quietly , delicately, emotionally ironic that "It's Getting Late in the Evening" as I hear this....Time for bed soon. The best organ anti-solo since ooh i dunno, "Whodunnit", but there the similarities end. Both are fab mind u. I Can't See My Feelings, Justin. Nos Da.

A beautiful end to a beautiful album. If you compare how stripped back this album is compared to Colour of Spring, Laughing Stock goes a step further and the Hollis album goes further still. Really looking forward to you listening to Laughing Stock... Hopefully! ;)

Really looking forward to your Laughing Stock reaction.

It’s hard to recognise it’s the same band a Who made colour of spring. Such a brave commercial move. The record company must of hated it

You should check out Bark Psychosis who's music comes pretty close to Talk Talk's last 2 albums.

🙏 ❤

I think he's talking about the artist or any passion that feels like a indentured servitude to the muse.

I love this song, thanks for the reaction! Now for the love of Crom would you finish 'Songs From the Wood', you are killing me! ;>

Dude, JP, You need to check out Natalia Lafourcade. If you like latin jazz/ folk definitely up your alley. Nada Es Verdad is a great tune...

It was almost like you were playing music at the beginning :)

If you would like a couple of recommendations try the Blue Nile's first album "Walk across the Rooftops" (especially "Tinseltown in the Rain") and Tangerine Dream's "Cold Water Canyon". I think you will like them. Thanks for all the great content. It's great fun to watch!

I like what the organ is doing here. A lot. Really interesting stuff. I was wondering if you could get around to reviewing some stuff by Ultravox at some point. I can’t speak to song titles other than “Vienna“ which is an essential synthpop tune, and “Fear in the Western World.” But my friend who loves Talk Talk keeps telling me I should listen to more Ultravox stuff, apparently there’s untapped wealth there too.

I have a feeling Mark Hollis resonates with you in a similar way that Sylvian does?

Was that a dulcimer in the intro? 😀

a few suggestions .. David Gilmour there's no way out of here, richard wrights' solo album wet dream change of flavour go google ''Magog Bromine Chamber''

These later albums are cool and all that, but I'd wish you'd tackle some earlier Talk Talk as well. How about doing "Tomorrow Started" and "Renée" or even some of their live performances at Montreux 1986 which are on KZfaq?

Justin, I wonder if you're familiar with the '90s band Catherine Wheel, who had a couple of their albums produced by Tim Friese-Greene (Talk Talk). In particular, Catherine Wheel's album Adam and Eve (1997) seems heavily influenced by Spirit of Eden, with a little Pink Floyd thrown in. I think it's one of the more striking and overlooked albums in the post-grunge era. It seems to be absent from streaming services, unfortunately. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJiAaJRoyty2oXU.html (Also, I just noticed that another commenter mentioned CW's song "Heal," which references Hollis' line "Everybody needs someone to live by.")

Ok now. It would be great if you choose listening to Laughing Stock, their (second) Magnus Opus... it's a life-changing experience. One of the best albums of all time. Just do it, I guess you have to trust me on this one...

Lap harp?

A bit too low for me. It brings me in a funeral mood.

Most of what I hear from Talk Talk is overwhelmingly Roxy Music influenced - and RM does it MUCH BETTER.
