Peter T I have been asked several times what is my favorite PF album, I always look back at them confused. A particular PF album picks me in a specific time in my life, not the other way around. I let their music come to me. So yes, I totally agree with you, my favorite album is the last one I listened to.

Exactly

I feel this.

Peter Tea Amen!

the last one i listened to was dark side, does that mean anything?

David Gilmour was a good friend of Syd, and he also helped him as a bass player for Syd's solo works after his exit from Pink Floyd. David is a classy human.

@@atinsingh7395 I think David considered Syd a friend all the way to the end, and maybe even Syd him. Their bond sounds beautiful when you read David's interviews.

I think they were all good people despite their flaws and differences.

@@maxkemper1598, well that’s what I think made them, well, them. It makes them unique and interesting.

This changes everything... I had a hard time listening to post-Syd Pink Floyd for a while after what happened to to him, didn't realize the rest of the band was so classy about it. I figured his insanity was a result of getting burned by the band/industry. Guess there's a few sides to every story

EewZEE I’ve always thought that. The first time I listened to that song it really hit me

Took me a minute. No Charlie ever called me n*****

For sure. And thats what Syd did.

Indeed.

david vickers what is the last part of your comment

I didn't know that, thank you for this little peice of knowledge

Instinct Bros Gaming Clever man. Would’ve liked to have heard that song.

Syd was a genius. And got to be acerbic

Ikr, that was crazy genius

Due to this riff change he and Roger had a fight

cause he was ahead of time

No proof boy

When was he present at that recording? He was only present in Wish You Were Here and it was a surprising visit.

Man that's dark

Isak He was present as shine on.

GilMOUR, jaysus chroist

What would happen, if they were there?

Jim , Wrong David never said that , Roger Waters said it

Even then.... it's a brilliant work.

Nobody is there today neither

Sammy Who? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Very clever.

that was meant metaphorically...... they meant his mental state, which was very poor at that point

PF: “Oh there he is.”

He stopped talking to anyone and became a shut in for 30 years, he did take up gardening though

Yeah the dude made it seem like when Syd went to the studio it was actually a ghost or some shit even though he was still alive at the time

Well the syd that they knew didn't exist. He was a hollow shell of his former majestic self. Also the band were affectionate to syd and took care of him financially

@steven Brunton Ummm.....look who produced Syd's solo albums after he left the band. Clue: His "mates". Look who kept funneling money to Syd for decades. Clue: His "mates".

@steven Brunton Hard to keep their dirty linen out of the public when they were ALL public figures.

mejasourus I'm a big fan and I never picked up on that. Thank you.

it my favorite Pink Floyd Album and my favorite album of all time....its light years better than Darkside.......- that says alot!

you would think someone who would write about being moved so much by a snippet of music would include the instrument it's being played on (Farfisa Organ) and who is playing it (another underrated Rick contribution). Also - Stephane Grapelli plays at the fade of of WYWH depending on what mix / format you have.

@lowaces At the very end, the absolute last melody played by Rick. He plays the melody where Syd sings "Soon after dark, Emily cries" in See Emily Play.

Rick was a genius also.

Agreed. Joni Mitchell’s “river” is one that gets me…that and the first song on Bright Eyes’ “Fevers and Mirrors” album….that one is rough…

try david's a boat lies wait

I always cry when I listen to it

So, there was a group of us in our twenties who used to get together for a few drinks and a pot-luck meal. There was always a fire pit or brazier for us to sit around and Matt would break out his guitar and his go-to song to play - that we all enthusiastically sang along to - was "Wish You Were Here". Then work pressures, busy lives and such like intervened and we met up less often and then not at all. A number of years later, I got a call at work from one of the women who was part of that circle... informing me that Matt had crashed his truck and died at the scene. I took a break, took out my MP3 player and headphones and played "Wish You Were Here" in memory of Matt. I still cry when I hear that song.

@@wolf1066 Songs can capture a memory, a moment in time, and they can take you back to that moment each time they are played. I think the greatest songs are not only able to capture those moments, but they are able to sound almost new each time you hear them.

I played and sang 'wish you were here' In front of my class in beginning guitar, for my younger brother (Tom) who had died a year earlier; it was ragged but heartfelt, and the class of young millenials seemed to dig it...

Exactly the transition from have a cigar to wish you were here is so tender and beautiful

Wow… Thank you Brian. I was not aware of this.

Pink Floyd my second favourite band. My favourite being the mighty Slade. Don't quite understand how the melancholy sound of Floyd can pick you up, i couldn't listen if i was feeling blue. Slade on the other hand is feel good upbeat music to lift any heavy heart. Give 'em a listen the louder the better: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9uPot2bptvDpoE.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ad96l9mWm56wY4k.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6t_orubydSznas.html

@@sladeippie5841 Floyd picks you up because you know exactly that someone else has been where you are now, and even managed to write a bloody good song about it. Noddy (well, Jim) had his poetic moments too, like Pouk Hill and One Way Hotel.

@@LonesomeTwin Yeah 'One Way Hotel' is one of Slade's best lesser known songs.

Lonesome Twin i can def relate to that. it has a therapeutic effect on me it validates my feelings of depression, emptiness, loneliness, disappointment, abandoment, etc and it gives me the courage to carry on which may sound ironic

There is no artist/band who can make me feel like Pink Floyd. I have built such a personal connection to the band and their art and I still get gossebumps when I listen to them

Absolutly Roger

How are people saying "Definutely Roger"?! That's not how this band worked. It's the obvious reference to executives acting like they care for the band, but don't even know that their name is not just the name of one of its members. The executives didn't care about the band, just about the money they got through the band

Max Otto In the context of the wall the character is based on roger's own story, but this is not the wall. Dude it's obvious. He even says so in the video, it's the album right after their extreme success "Dark Side of The Moon" which as David Gilmour said (also in the vid) made them rethink their position in the industry as artists. The line is said by an executive who says he really likes the band but doesnt know shit about them...

Seeing how the Protagonist of the Wall is called "Pink Floyd" I'd say Barret is Pink. While Water's father was the one who fell in the war (as described in another Brick in the Wall Part 1) the drug abuse and insanity that are thematised on the second half of the album apply best to barret.

Max Otto the character in the movie the wall is based more on syd. Like when she shaved his head and eye brows. The way he wasnt all there and spaced out was the same as syd. Look at the pic @ 2:16 with his eye brows and head shaved.

I would like the same. At least he heard it (probably many times), I bet he's still singing along to it.

I just thought of a desert landscape

Iforgotmyname Iforgotmyname he was the only one who couldn't handle it properly

@@johnobrien1528 because he had underlying mental illness (possibly schizophrenia) and was given far too much of it without his knowledge, from so called friends.

The other members stated that they all tried LSD but didn't really like it...Waters said that he had one bad trip and never did any more after that....The problem was that Syd started hanging around with people that thought it was funny to secretly dose him everyday....things went bad soon after..

Does dark side of the moon ring any bells? Besides acid their brilliance helped alot

@@grimmj0ker being dosed with out knowing is no joke.i literally lost my marbles .but came back.wont even smoke anymore.clean and happy living man

That's an interesting, and I believe, accurate, take. They broke up anyways, so it seems self-awareness sometimes isn't enough. It may have held them together longer than they would have otherwise

Following 7 albums with little commercial success in America, it seems unlikely that any of the group could've predicted the astounding reception that _The Dark Side of the Moon_ got and that it would transform them into a household name. The reason it kept going for the remainder of the 1970s stems largely from the fact that Pink Floyd became a huge business and a source of financial support for so many people.

Well, they never really "broke up", Waters quit the band, which is almost the same thing. Technically, Floyd is still a band today, with just Dave and Nick, but almost certainly permanently inactive.

Ulysses M. Actually they had no idea what they were getting into

Marquel Leal Roger did. Watch and listen to interviews from the 60's and 70's. He always did the complete opposite of what the record companies told him. He was very self aware and that helped the band move forward. He knew of the dangers of the pop singles, top 10s, etc. Do you not think something popped in his head when he realized Syd was being distant from the game? Roger took control and thanks to him we got the Floyd everyone loves. Did you not listen to the video? The whole theme of this album is Roger's self awareness. All their records are.

The CD was originally developed as a weatherproof data storage device by the military...

Necessity is the mother of invention. And laziness is the father.

Definitely one that anyone can relate to. Thats one thing thats great about their music, regardless of what they're actually singing about, you can probably think of a way that their messages in a lot of their songs relate to your own life.

joebowles06 And that is the beauty of music. But of all the songs that I can think of, it's this one that hits me the most. There is just a hauntingly melancholic vibe to it.

Angel Pacheco the first time I heard I felt like crying

Turn it off😄

Joshua Jung you must think you are real special.

In wich song it appears? Every time I hear it it Just terrifies me... Never felt something similar wich any other music...

@@salvafernandez4897 shine on you crazy diamond

It was so difficult to tell...maybe you should change your YT name to reflect your feelings for the band...

Ay

Rick Kelley Like me

Fleeting Glimpse , yes Pink Floyd is definitely the greatest.

Same here. Atoms Heart Mother baby!

I always thought it was reference to the bands early days when syd had taken lots of acid and went into another room for a cigarette, when Rodger waters went and found him, the entire cigarette had turned to ash, with syd not having smoked any of it as he was staring into space where waters said his eyes were like black holes in the sky

@@adamrace9314 That too. In the movie Pink Floyd The Wall where Pink (Bob Geldof) is sitting in his chair holding a cigarette that has burned down to ash, it's a reference to that moment.

@@adamrace9314 ~ No d in the name Roger.

@@5jerry1 six and two threes

@@adamrace9314 ~ But no d's.

♥️

Exactly, Syd Barrett was garbage.

What about that dude from Metallica? That is the best replacement because the dude who got replaced, soon made his own famous metal band

👍

@@navaneethsujesh850 Syd is your chance, let it be, how many album he created with Roger /Wright & mason. I never heard his music. I started my journey with pink floyd from DSOTM album.. the last pink floyd album divisional bell was one the best n it's promotional tour concert pulse is all time great video musical gig. Infact David Gilmour is the saviour of the band after Roger left... Richard Wright n nick mason combo stayed n continued with Dave to honour the band name. Anyways it is ur personal choice . David Gilmour ,mark knofler is my favourites I like clean guitarists and marathon musicians to conclude they are legends of beautiful tracks to Time pass River rolls. Take care. ✌

hey Jonsey.

real spill

So true. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are my two most favorite bands of all time.

Oh yes please, Mr. Music Interpreter, explain to me this simple music!

You needed a confirmation that solid music should be overrated?

Me too..an this for some reason really tore me up..I instinctively knew what they were saying even when I was really young but I had no idea about syd..all I knew was the first singer lost his mind from to much drugs. I don't think I will ever hear these songs the same way...

It is a great album. Beautiful guitar work especially on Wish You Were Here.

Preach!

Eduardo Fischer YES PLEASE! I love them so much but nobody ever seems to understand why, some don't even know them anymore. That's just so sad.

Eduardo Fischer dude, if the earth were to explode and I only had time to run to either breakfast in America or dark side -- I'd choose breakfast in America.

Levi Maes There are a lot of albums I'd choose over Dark Side. If I could only listen to one last album, I'd definitely choose *In the Court of the Crimson King*

Eduardo Fischer hell yes please!

leokimvideo Well yes, everything's a product. Art is important, but if you expect music exects to care about it, you're unbearably naiive.

There is one for Animals

and they did this too, it was no paint job.

Lie Likes Music Either Pink Floyd or their label (most likely their label because they get the profits) arent usually very strict with copyright. I've seen many people do whole PF albums

The random inconsistencies of googles content strikes 😡

That is BS. From what I have seen from other channels you gotta have some break points in your video. That is where you can hit them with fair use. Fair use is used for education etc. that is messed up though.

@@marshallemmet1366 nice one

Yes

@John Dough PF and drugs - that's amazing combo

it wasn't any of the band members. his roommates at the time were slipping lsd into his tea.

The band members were the ones taking Syd to doctors and trying to get him help. So piss off about your false David Gilmour rumors. David and Roger were two of Syd's oldest friends. We will never know the facts about who did what. I remember seeing interviews with musicians who played with Syd after he left Floyd and they all said that Syd would seem perfectly fine but then suddenly become a bit off when he had to perform or when he was forced to record an album. Who knows? But a fact is that David and Roger were trying to get Syd help when everyone else was pointing and laughing at Syd.

Imagine if you were nearing the most common age of the onset of schizophrenia and began tripping acid. Imagine that your roommate (an LSD dealer) began spiking your tea, your cereal, your supper. How would you distinguish reality from a trip? Now incorporate mental illness into the mix. Songs resonate with us because they are relaying genuine emotion. The laments on Wish You Were Here ring true because they are accurate reflections of how Roger felt about losing his bandmate and the downward spiral of his band that he felt powerless to halt.

Wasn't that never actually proven? Because when his friends and bandmates moved him out of the apartment his behavior only worsened. I could have sworn that the whole "spiked everything he ate and drank with LSD" was just a rumor. I could be wrong, of course.

I thought Syd had "Asperger's" and I seem to recall hearing or reading that their drug use has always been way over exaggerated. Maybe Syd ingested more LSD than the others? That said, I imagine a very young person having a complete breakdown like that is going to be the result of more than just one element. Mental illness, drug use, background and or traumatic experiences etc.

a Iron maiden video would be so awesome.

*Run to the hills!!*

Sadly this channel won't do metal bands like Maiden, no radio play even tho Maiden are the biggest metal band in the world they still are unheard of in the pop world.

I don't know why not: he did Led Zeppelin, which is a band instrumental to the development of hard rock, metal, in particular progressive. I would see a video about tool fitting the channel better though.

Maxime Teppe tool would be great

Erick C.K. I agree. Kid A would be a great choice. OK Computer is very well known and beloved.

I think a video relating Kid A and Amnesiac (what went where, how Amnesiac was sequenced) would be an informative topic. I don't know if it would chart well though...

🗿

I don't know why I call him Gerald

The guy had issues. They kicked him out, yeah, but they didn't want to. He wasn't ever actually there, not really playing at gigs even when on the stage.

Not quite. The problem with Syd was that he refused help and became more and more detached from reality. He would stare blankly at a wall for hours at a time, completely unmoving. During one concert, he randomly stopped playing and started detuning his guitar while everyone else kept going. Sometimes he just wouldn't play at all and just stand there before wandering off the stage. The band originally brought in Gilmour for no other reason than to cover Syd's ass in concerts. Eventually his behavior became so self destructive to himself and the band in it's entirety that they had to cut ties. Roger Waters even said that they planned to keep him as a non-touring member, just have him write and compose because of what a genius Syd was as a creator. Sadly that didn't work out either because the poor guy was so far gone he wouldn't write, or would randomly change things or stop in the middle of songs and completely abandon them. Syd had some demons he never overcame.
