When you can't afford a vacation, just listen to a pink floyd album and you'll travel farther than any plane could ever carry you.
Nicely said
Aye! Let's see each on the dark side of the moon.
Damn...truth.
Well put my friend!
Your dad doesn't just love you, he RESPECTS you sharing this, and all these with you.
Remember this when then the division bell starts ringing.
The message is: enjoy your childhood
I think it could something different to children. But you point is well taken
@@3YearsApart1613
This song does not refer only to childhood, but everything that the band lived during the period. High Hopes is the last track on the last album released by Pink Floyd before they broke up (Division Bell - 1994).

Don't forget to have fun all though your life, there will always be more practical things needing to be done or buy.
Sometimes just do things that bring you joy.
* Collect memories, not things *
* Love your friends and family *
When on your death bed, nothing else matters.
And make plans but don't be surprised when a lot of those plans do not happen.
Unfortunately as you will grow older you will get everything this song is about.... UNFORTUNATELY....
Can confirm.
_"Looking at the embers of bridges glowing behind us, to a glimpse of how green it was on the other side"_ 😔😔😔
Exactly ........... what i was thinking ..... hopefully for them .... wonderfully so .....
True!
"Steps taken forward but sleep walking back again"
Whan you have so many regrets and you return to a certain time in your past wishing you could change it.
I was thinking exactly the same. "Don't worry kids. One day you'll understand. And you'll probably weep..."
@@jdoedoenet - your comment brought a tear to y eye. These girls are brilliant!
The lap steel solo literally brings tears to my eyes. David Gilmour. What a genious.
Me too man! Its something else right?
@@themadhiker it really is!
The Pulse version can make my eyes pee ....
This was the first show in the Pompeii amphitheater with a live audience since the year 79C.E., so it was 1937 years in between....When Pink Floyd performed in the same amphitheater in 1972 there was no audience....
"The Amphitheatre of Pompeii is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre. It is located in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, and was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, that also buried Pompeii itself and the neighbouring town of Herculaneum." - wikipedia
A division bell is a parliamentary device that is used to signal that debate on legislation is over and votes must be cast. The metaphor is that as people grow up they begin to make choices, divide and separate. Leaving old friends and places. Making decisions that can't be taken back. Given the history of The Floyd, these lyrics are full of nostalgia. Something that you appreciate as you get older. The guitar Dave Gilmour uses towards the end is a blonde Fender Deluxe lap steel. And that echo of the piano and guitar, good catch. That means a lot.
Great info! Thanks for sharing 👏
I was today years old when I learned what a division bell actually is!
Also the the reason for all the students in the back projected video is a reference to the time all of the members spent at Cambridge University.
@@DieyoungDiefast The band are from the town of Cambridge. I don't believe they went to the University there.
@@cutthr0atjake and the line "a place of magnets and miracles" refers to Cambridge being a university/academic town
That magical moment when somebody sees and hears a slide guitar for the first time in their lives, beautiful. This was the first gig at Pompeii playing to a paying audience since the eruption buried it.
You’re lucky to have a father who makes you discover this kind of complex, melodical and poetic music! Enjoy, kids!
Arnaud, France
Welcome Arnaud! Thanks for the comment
this is the most emotinal songs
I tear to think of the high hopes I had when your age, how fast the time slips away, how we compromise our dreams and goals as we realize that our high hopes were just a pipedream, but most I tear as, for the world we leave you kids as you have to face your new reality with the world we leave to you. My high hopes as you face and hopefully defeat in where we failed.
That’s so true. I have two teen grandchildren that I am overcome with emotion when they look at me. I’ve done everything I can physically do...I hope they have a future to survive in.
The instrument you are unfamiliar with is a console steel guitar. It’s between a lap steel guitar and a pedal steel guitar.
hey you really do learn something every day, I thought it was just a steel guitar, I didn't know there were "3 different ones" haha
Piranther - I see what you did there. Nice.
@@asdfqwer1234zxcv It will also turn into a slide guitar.
Dave Gilmour is from Cambridge, UK. The magnets and miracles refers to Cambridge University and all the scientific discoveries there. The Long Road and The Causeway are roads in Cambridge. The division bell is a bell that's rung when the UK government has to go and vote. The bell rings and the politicians divide into two groups, those voting yes or no to something. It's all about making choices in life, living with them and looking back. If you love piano then you need to listen to Pink Floyd's The Great Gig In The Sky.
I assumed the magnets and miracles was an ICP reference.
...or Us And Them. Whilst we're at it, the piano is used well in Echoes as well.
@@CravingBeer magnets?... how do they work?
Spooky majestic is Pink Floyd’s whole aesthetic
"Overlooked by our generation, and it's super epic" is the perfect way to describe Pink Floyd in general
Try Comfortably Numb Live. The song has the greatest guitar solo ever.
the comfortably numb live performance of 1994, pulse, has many amazing parts, so thats the one to watch, for extra enjoyment and seeing them well in action. enjoy
PLEASE
Yes, no one has thought of doing that yet
bret coffee I think every Comfortably Numb solo is fantastic!! The PULSE ones and the one from David Gilmour’s Live in Gdańsk are probably my top 2!
LIVE AT PULSE
I'm just now seeing your videos. I just turned 40 years old earlier this year and it is crazy how fast time flies as you get older. Enjoy your childhood and never take it for granted. Pink Floyd IS one of the world's greatest bands. They had such an influence on the world.
btw: This was the first time there had been an audience in that arena since year 75 a.d. Fitting it was Gilmour who got that honor!
When you kids are in your 30s and 40s, you will find even more meaning to this song. I'm highly impressed at the comprehension you already have. Remember this music. The music of today does not have the depth of this masterpiece.
So nice to see a younger generation discovering this awesome band. The older you get the more you will understand the lyrics.
When we are young, the way magnets work. It seems like a miracle
When we were insane, like a posse of clowns.
"Super epic" is the most accurate description I've ever heard for this song.
It's a "lap steel", and yes it's a guitar and it has markings on it to mark where the frets on an ordinary guitar would be. It's really fun to play. Check out "One Of These Days" from the same concert (Pompeii 2016), basiclly just 7 min with lap steel and some really cool bass. You'll be blown away. I've never mastered playing slide on an ordinary guitar, so I have one of these. Gilmour has played regulary a lap steel with Pink Floyd since 1970, so you'll find it on a lot of Pink Floyd songs.
Listen to everything by David Gilmour and his old band Pink Floyd
Scott Crosby First of all, Gilmour isn't a founding member. He took over for Syd. And Waters wrote a vast majority of Floyd's music. Gilmour can also write great shit. They just have different styles, which l believe helped lead to their breakup.
@@perryberman2824 This was a solo tour of David Gilmour. The original post was recommending to check out the band he was a part of.
Perry Berman Jesus Christ perry calm down, I know all this..
Perry Berman - He never said Gilmour was a founding member. I’m so tired of internediots who leap to conclusions with a fucking jet pack strapped on. Take a friggin’ Zanax or three, dude.
Scott Crosby You didn't know that it's not his band.
Your dad has very smartly condensed the meaning of the song down in a way to still cause you to think. Listen very closely to his teachings.
The phrase, 'magnets and miracles', refers to the scientifically proven and the unknown wonders that are yet to be proven by science.
David Gilmour, and Pink Floyd are a great study in song structure and listening pleasure. You won't go wrong in this enjoyment.
always crying when outro arrives, it's a pedal steel guitar, division bell its a bell that rung in a parliament to signal a vote,
high hopes is a masterpiece and Glimour is a genius
The division bell in the context of this song , is passing from childhood, where everything and anything seems possible, into adulthood.
This is at the legendary Pompeii Amphitheater in Italy, so yes you are right, it is "that" Pompeii.
The instrument you are referring to is called a 'slide guitar'. He plays by what he wants to hear, one of Gilmours true gifts.
This is from the 90's Division Bell album & it's great to see David doing it in Pompeii because his old band Pink Floyd famously played there in the early 1970's to an empty arena (except for the film crew). You should both listen to anything by Pink Floyd, you won't be disappointed. Watch the Pulse Earls Court gig for exactly how rock gigs should be:).
Magnets are in everything. The guitars, synthesizers, microphones, and the tapes that they used to record on. The miracles are the imagination of five men brought to life through those magnets. Your dad is right.
If you want to see Pink Floyd back when they were young rockstars, give Echoes at Pompeii a go - plenty of guitar/piano interaction as well.
I own the album "Divison Bell" and have not heard this song before. LOL
In your honour, I am going to listen to "Division Bell" tonight.
Also, since I enjoy your reactions so much, I have, for the first time, hit the bell. So there you go.
Rock on!
There are grown adults that don't have anything to say about this song, about how the piano complements the slide guitar, about the significance of "the division bell", etc. These young woman and man are not only smart but are also so insightful. As soon as the line "the hunger still unsatisfied" hit she immediately related it to the desire of "I had the chance to do something or be someone and didn't take it therefore I'm full of regret" that her dad was talking about right away. Thanks to technology these young people are discovering things that will make them be one of the greatest generations. I seriously respect you guys.
This is really really amazing to see you kids sitting still watching a Pink Floyd video ! I got married with the band around my university days in early 90's and I got hooked forever. The wall album as well as the video just blew me up like anything. One day, one of our college friends even came up in the class with his eyebrow shaved after watching the movie.
Great reaction! You should try to listen "old" Pink Floyd - Echoes live at pompeii (1972).
Kudos to your dad to introducing you to classic bands, and to the two of you for having open minds for appreciating these older bands. There is a wealth of amazing music laying ahead for you that is full of substance and meaning (as well as amazing musicianship) that is often lacking in the music of today. You could spend the next year listening to Pink Floyd in all of their glory and still only scratch the surface. Keep up the good work!
agree with you 100%...from Dad
I heard this song about 10 years ago and it brought me to tears! So haunting and beautiful! And that outro is amazing!!
When I was your age, Dark Side of the Moon had just been released. I consider myself lucky to have heard Pink Floyd when I was so young. They are amazing. There is always subtext in their music with big ideas.
You are old..lol. that's ok because so is my dad.
@@3YearsApart1613 Your dad is a good man. Listen to what he says.
Man, you kids have so much to discover, wish it were me all over again. I’m now 67 and I still get goose bumps listening to David Gilmour’solos. Just a little piece of advice, when you put on great pieces like these, wait till end to react, you’ll appreciate them way more. I miss my teens
I just happen to have been listening to this song a lot lately. Glad you chose it!! It's a great song!!
I honestly didn't think someone so young would get the idea behind this song so solidly, but you nailed it. Well done.
Oh, and he's playing a custom slide guitar there.
David Gilmour, the singer and guitarist, is a master at his craft. Listen to more when you can.
Appreciate the comment Tommy.
Each and every time I hear this song that gives me goosebumps. This song is really overlooked by our generation.. 😔♥️♥️♥️
I was actually at the amphitheater in Pompeii in 1996 or 97 where this was played. I sat in the top row of the seating (that hadn't been overgrown by hundreds of years of grass) and heard conversations that were going on on the stage. The acoustics in that place were phenomenal.
Watching your video reminds me of when I rented the original live at Pompeii on video tape in like 1984. My dad he did NOT like rock music he was into classical and broke but he sat down commenting about the percussionist i.e. the drummer and then watching David Gilmour solo. One of the few bonding moments I remember positively with my dad.
Good for you for being open to all music! Guess by now you know that this is the guitar player from Pink Floyd. He is most certainly a master of his craft! He plays lead guitar with such passion! Pink Floyd is very deep, sometimes slow and moody and other times they can ROCK YOUR FACE OFF! Keep diggin’ you’ve just started with a crazy rabbit hole!
YALL NEED TO REACT TO ANY SONG FROM THE ALBUM “WISH YOU WERE HERE” FROM THE BAND PINK FLOYD PREFERABLY THE SONG “SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND” AMAZING SONG ITS ALMOST LIKE HIGH HOPES BUT JUST DEEPER
No need to yell, Jaime.
Kids lesson for the week Ignore anything in all caps...
"I forgot about the piano ..."
Well done, Claire. That's what Pink Floyds music is about: acoustic storytelling.
I'm happy you noticed that they echoed one another. It's always my favourite part in any solo when one instrument echoes another.
Claire, your summation of this song is spot on. Walker, your such a delight. Your antics during this video were exceedingly entertaining. You're both very genuine people. I appreciate that. I will say the lyrical content and backstory of many of these bands to which you react are very weighty and downright depressing. Don't let that get on you or in you. Let their lessons teach you what not to do. I love that you understood the essence of this song without delving into the origins of the story. Don't go looking for it, it will permanently change the way you enjoy the song. It will strip the innocent way you approached and received it.
I grab my blanket like that when I'm too far out. Awesome video.
Listening to Pink Floyd is taking a transcendental and paradoxical journey, as you travel to the deepest part of yourself while navigating the vastness of the infinite. Listening to Pink Floyd is a path of no return, as the songs are so deep that they take over your being completely without asking your permission.
You need to listen to Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb Pulse live version... you won't regret it!
I will have them react to that soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
The solo in the live8 version is my favorite ever
@@bepkororoti8019 It's awesome!
The "Miracle" of modern civilization could not exist without electricity...Which in turn cannot be controlled without "Magnets" - Magnets and Miracles
A division bell is a bell rung in or around a parliament to signal a division (a vote) to members of the relevant chamber so that they may take part. They can mainly found in England, near Westminster, but they also have electronic division bells in Canada and Australia.
The instrument he was playing is called a Steel Guitar. It looks like a neck of a regular guitar. He uses a metal cylinder and slides it up and down the neck to create the notes. It allows Gilmour to put more feeling into his solo. The concert was in the oldest amphitheater on the planet. David Gilmour was the first live performance in that amphitheater since 79 AD
This is from their last studio album the division Bell from 94 where they did the world tour for the division Bell where the concert post was recorded from as well I must say it’s great seeing a new generation enjoying Pink Floyd makes me happy
Thank your father for introducing you to all this fantastic music. My children, and even my little brother thanks me for doing the same for them. Music will always be there for you. Good luck!
Nice to see the younger generations finding the amazing songs of Pink Floyd. Your journey is just beginning. Shine on you crazy diamonds.....
this song came out when I was about your age & I remember it hitting me right in my stomach . Been a Pink Floyd fan ever since
The instrument David Gilmour played the solo is a console steel guitar, the characteristic sound is done by rubbing a piece of a hard object on the strings.
The instrument David Gilmour plays at the end is a Laptop Guitar, the tube he runs up & down the strings with his left hand gives that sliding sound.
I love you guy's. I never heard this song before, and you made it better than if I watched it by myself. Thanks!
Yay...so fun to introduce you to something new to you.
the division bell used to signify period between classes..i'm glad you you did this....
Always loved David Gilmour’ s soothing voice, both his and Rick Wright’s were quite similar and could form great harmonies in certain songs (over the years)
The Division Bell is the "last" album from Pink Floyd released in 1994, which was promoted during the PULSE tour in 1995. He later performed this song in the Live at Pompeii (for istance, the double ii pronounced like the english "e" ;) ), in the same amphitheatre where Pink Floyd played in 1971, which is one of their best live shows
Nailed it Claire. What you are hearing is guitar effects. You really need to go to a concert. Step up dad! Your doing great so far. Thank you so much man. When it comes around, take the kids to a kick ass show please. It’s next!
Over the years this has become my favourite Pink Floyd song. It left Comfortably Numb in its wake a long time ago.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of David Gilmore and Pink Floyd
Amazing Claire emotions during the music progresses
Appreciate your dad sharing this deep and beautiful cut from the later Pink Floyd era. A song redolent with nostalgia for a simpler time in life before the division bell sets us apart. The piano, guitar, synths, vocal and the bell all call forth that longing pain of nostalgia. Love your reactions and reminds me of when I was a teen and in the full flush of discovering rock music. Keep up the great work all! Definitely recommend more Floyd (Anything from Animals or Wish Your Were Here) and Rush (Xanadu (Live) Exit Stage Left, Anything from Permanent Waves -- and then La Villa Strangiato and YYZ (Live in Rio for sure!) for crazy good instrumentals...
While walking through fairie, there are dark forests, even dragons in the perilous realm, but there is always light and hope breaking through on our path. You are both on a special pilgrimage. Thanks for letting us join you. David Gilmour and Steve Hackett are great guitar tour guides through the perilous realm. Grateful for your thoughtful comments and your Dad's musical selections.
The metal thingy is called a slide. You can use it on a regular guitar too. So whether there is markers or not, yes he is placing it where the frets are or would be.
magnets and miracles is a reference to your childhood, where everything is amazing and wonderous...this entire album is mellow af, gotta hear more from it
It's actually filmed in the ruins of Pompeii that was destroyed and buried in ash by a volcano 79 AD. It was discovered in modern times and excavated. So this is the original amphitheater from the city. Pink Floyd did a music movie playing there in the early seventies.
The sentiments in this song will resonate in you much more deeply when you get into your 50s and beyond. You kids are very special. Enjoy your youth, and childhood as much as you can.
Thanks for your candid and nice reaction kids ;-)
I wanted to see Sir David Gilmour live once. I don't know if it will ever happen but knowing i grew up with PF and Mr Gilmour's guitar magic makes me feel good. Atleast i grew up with PF and still listen to them everyday and will do so for the rest of my life. God bless PF. God bless Sir David. God bless us all !
I don't know how often i've listened to this song...
And in earlyer recordings he actually played the Dobro part on the Guitar!
Welcome to Pink Floyd. Can’t wait to see you be blown away by more David Gilmour guitar magic in the future. Also, the instrument he’s playing is called a lap steel guitar. It is essentially a guitar that you play horizontally. The “rollie” thing is a metal tube that he runs across the strings as he plucks them. There are markings, called frets, on the lap steel guitar just like any other guitar or ukulele and that’s how he knows where to slide the steel cylinder.
That lap steel guitar is haunting and beautiful and emotional. Love that solo
i love how Walker just cant sit still for a moment ...just love it !!
Hi from Spain, sorry for my English.
I love Pink Floyd, for me is the best rock band ever. They give us more 40 wonders songs. My favorite song is "Another brick in the wall", but not is the best...
But my English is limited y tengo que continuar en español, así que espero que consigáis traducirlo...
Veréis, la semana que viene cumpliré 56 años, y he escuchado muchísima música... Nada parecido a la cantidad, calidad y diferencia de registros de esta banda.
Según mi criterio la mejor es "Shine on you crazy diamond", donde ese minuto y medio de guitarra de la intro, es el mejor sonido que han escuchado estos oídos en este planeta. Pero el solo de guitarra de "Comfortably numb" en Pulse...
Cuando tenía vuestra edad, "oía" a Pink Floyd sin saberlo, y me parecía que aquella guitarra hablaba... Y ese sonido me llevaba a otro nivel o estado de conciencia.
Han pasado 40 años y sigo descubriendo a Pink Floyd !!
Os recomiendo como contraste a "High hopes", por la diferencia de estilo "Another brick in the wall" or "Learning to fly" or "Time"
Thanks
enjoy your years now kids, it will never be the same when you hear the same song 20 years later :)
We are posting polls for next reaction here instagram.com/3yearsapart_official
There is also a lot of fun stuff and a sneak peek at the coolest dad in the world there. Check it out.
I would love to watch their reaction to the whole Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii docu.
you would stick around for a whole reaction on that??
The lap guitar solo at the end is simply perfection. And I'll echo with Lobo The Main Man said; this song as a very melancholy meaning and it's something you'll understand when you get older.
Girls there's so much to tell you. First of all its great to see kids of your age is listening to music of Pink Floyd. First of all the video playing on the big screen is the music video of the song. Second that instrument is called by different names. Steel guitar, Lap Guitar, Slide guitar and so on. And it has frets in it like a guitar. And lastly but very importantly listen to this song some ten years later. You'll have a very different appreciation for this song.
The lap steel guitar is most often found in Country music because it can have a keening sound that echoes the lament found in many, especially older, country songs. It's a guitar with steel strings, like a standard electric guitar, but it's played with a metal slide on at least one finger that allows the player to slip and slide from note to note without the characteristic staccato pop normal guitar fingering produces. Slide guitar, that is playing a guitar with a slide, is also found in a lot of blues music where the technique can be heard both on an electric guitar and occasionally on acoustic guitar, which produces an often mournful sound.
really appreciate ur dad and u both that at such a tender age u r listening oink flyod, Keep up! That ending instrument was a lap steel guiatar.
This song has a special meaning for me, I love it.
The instrument you were wondering about is a lapsteel guitar. It is used for slide guitar playing. If I remember right, the song is about the world not being what he as a child expected or wanted the world to be. Something like that.
And well, the horizontal guitar is called a Pedal Steel Guitar. They are mainly used in country & western by the way. It's not a lap steel though, as have been said in the comments. That is like it, but literally rests on your lap. The Pedal Steel Guitaar is the one that stands.
Life growing up in Cambridge and the surrounding area, as three members of the band were from the University City.
David's wife, Polly Sampson wrote the lyrics for this as well as many other songs for David.
The guy next to David Gilmore on the bass its the same guy that you said it was 19 on the comfortably numb video.Guy Pratt.
Pink Floyd is not just a rock group, they truly are a total symphony experience. Now, with the complete clarity we get with our sound quality, that experience is exponentially engrossing...
To little old me, this song is about becoming adult and being forced to see the world in a far less whimsical way and suddenly the world becomes divided and broken hearted.
He’s playing a lapsteel which is I guess “some alteration of a guitar”. Early versions of the song were played with an electric guitar ending solo.
You guys are awesome
If there's a list of songs my kids will listen to as soon as they're aware enough - it's on the very top of it.
‘It’s so great to take a break from all the AAAAARGHHHHHHSOSOSKKSPSKSP!!’ - So true! Kids are so honest - it’s great to hear. Good review guys!
