"The rain fell slow
Down on all the roofs of uncertainty.
I thought of you
And the years and all the sadness
Fell away from me..."
Absolutely love this album.❤
The closing guitar of Poles Apart are some of the sweetest notes I've ever heard.
Gilmour was not flashy yet seemed to place every note, every bend, every pinch harmonic, in the perfect place. Many guitarists would do too much, but David Gilmour did just enough at just the right time. My personal guitar inspiration and playing style is thick with Gilmour. And yes, Poles Apart should give anyone with a heart goosebumps, masterpiece.
Poles Apart is about ex-bandmates Syd Barrett in the first verse and Roger Waters in the second verse.
There is nothing quite like a David Gilmour guitar solo.
The emotion in the solo!!! You don't know how many times I i closed my eyes and drifted away to this solo. It makes me want to fly. I can't believe I was alive to witness this band!!! Listening to Pink Floyd is the high light of my day every single day!!!
Happens all the time . I just fly
Just one man’s opinion, but having seen Floyd live multiple times and have all vinyl, it’s unclear to me why there’s so many who believe this album to somehow be substandard Floyd or unimpressive. This and Momentary Lapse are both top shelf all day long, with highly listenable compositions. David and Rick shine. 🤘😎
@@marcelliott1111 Indeed, spot on. 👈
🤜🏼🤛🏼
Hope you enjoy this> I rate Division Bell right up there with the 'big four' Floyd albums - Gilmore shines brightly throughout the album, "High Hopes" is right up there with "Comfortably Numb" as one of my favorite songs. FYI - the crackling noises at the very beginning are (I have read) actually sounds of the earth's crust cracking.
Same ✌️😎
'On an Island' has some gems too.
I believe this song was their goodbye to their old band mate Roger Waters. David talks about the past, Richard gets the first solo on keyboards (Roger fired him before quitting the band).. then there's thoughts of childhood at the circus, but the boys remember walking that tightrope around Roger. And they conclude with "we're still going, you're the one that's faded out. Since this was written, Roger has mellowed and rejuvenated his career. They even reunited for one night. But I feel David may have forgiven, but he doesn't forget. Very reserved with Roger. Almost cold.
When I got this Album 💿 I listened to it non-stop. It gave me goosebumps love every song but one! It’s amazing 🤩
Cool seeing someone your age discovering "our" music (I'm 74). Too bad you never had the opportunity to see them live. Truly an unforgettable experience. This album came out about the same time as their last tour and was a good part of the Pulse concert, which I saw all 3 shows when they came to the Oakland Coliseum. You really need to watch the entire Pulse concert.
This was always a strong Floyd album for me. It certainly was missing a key Floyd element without Roger, but beyond that it was beautiful and well-written and produced, and seemed honest and not trying to be something it wasn't - it wasn't reaching, it was natural. It was one of only two of their albums that wasn't marred by bad songs imo.
Justin I couldn’t agree more with your assessment. This is a beautiful and rich production of great compositions. Btw, what was the other album you praised. Was it Dark Side(or should we just put that one out of reach?) for if not I thought of Momentary Lapse as the other. It’s funny, I was 13 when Dark Side was released, have seen every album tour, and yet have NO favorite. Must be the consistency of a very high bar they set for themselves, with perhaps a rare few other groups able to do the same. Anyway, just curious. Regards
@@ronaldelliott4373 I'm surprised this comment wasn't downvoted, it's a pretty controversial thing to say about Floyd's albums. The other "perfect" album of theirs for me, is Animals. Like I said, there are no bad songs.
Unfortunately for me, the same can't be said for DSOTM, or even my favourite WYWH, although that one's close. Welcome to the Machine is too ugly in the midst of all the magestic beauty of that album. Although I suppose that was the point, given the topic.
It's nice to see an old school fan such as yourself (no offense) hold two non-Waters albums in such high regard though. I didn't get into Floyd until The Division Bell era, so I have a different relationship to their older material than some.
@@justinatest9456 Indeed. First time I ever saw pigs fly that night. The Animals show I caught was somewhat experimental for the time, as it was amped through the P.A. in quad sound. I also agree with your comments about Welcome To The Machine. It was unique for the times but hasn’t held up as the rest of the album does. Here’s something on CZcams from Roger I love. It’s Pig’s (in 3 parts) live 2016, Roger Waters Tour in Mexico City. It’s a feast for the senses and a sarcastic nod as well. If you get a chance, let me know what you think. Btw, the age thing, no offense taken. lol Be well. 🤘😎
@@ronaldelliott4373 That was quite the spectacle. Roger was never one for subtlety lol. It sounded great though, and the stage show is strong. Good for Roger for finding his own way to put on a Floyd worthy show without mimicking what the rest of Floyd was doing.
I love MLOR, it's still premiere Floyd to me. This improved on the the trios formula. Gets better with every listen too. You stay away for a while and come back to it and it's slightly more magnificent than the last listen.
This is a trippy album, especially when you're on the stuff
The person before this album and after this are not the same
David Gilmour and Polly Samson (authors of this song) said that "Poles Apart" was written inspired by Syd Barrett (one of the founders of Pink Floyd).
Woohooo! Thank you for doing this one Silas. Im so happy for you to experience this album. Its a lighter album than much of their previous stuff ...not as dark. And thats whats so refreshing. My favourite Song by PF 'Coming back to Life' will be on Part 2. It starts lonely, but then lifts into hope. I love that its a positive message, compared to alot of their darker stuff, (especially The Wall). And Coming back to life is such a deeply emotional vibe too. Enjoy Silas. And thanks again for not skipping over this album. Its in my Top3 fave PF albums, along with 'Animals' and 'Wish', and only just before 'Dark Side'.
David Gilmours solo album 'On an Island' is (definately) worth coming back to. My fave guitar solo of Davids; 'Blue' is on that album.
One of my favourite albums , and i really feel people underrate it !
Your reactions are always so real and so genuine. Love it.
Purchase this ablum the day it came out just for “ keep talking “
Best song on the album imo.
'PULSE', for the live performances mate, all fantastic as you have seen, check out the playlist for the concert
This was definitely the best post-Waters Floyd album and best since the Wall. My only critique would be I would have liked more Rick Wright, but that's just nitpicking. It was really great to have Rick back in the fold playing and writing. I would suggest listening to Rick's solo album, Broken China, which came out following this. Anyway, I love Cluster One, because it features David and Rick speaking to each other musically, much like in Echoes. Keep Talking, Coming Back to Life, Lost for Words, Wearing the Inside Out, and High Hopes are just great songs. But really, I love this entire album. I don't understand why people like MLOR over this album. I rank it as maybe one of my top 5 or 6 Floyd albums all time. And that's coming from a huge Roger fan, as well. Just my opinion!
This album would have been stronger if they had incorporated more of Rick’s parts that later ended up on Endless River. They were definitely going in a more ambient direction at some point in the recording process which for whatever reason they abandoned in the end.
@@mikewatts867 Endless River is a nice companion piece to the Division Bell, much like the Final Cut is more of a companion piece to the Wall. Just leftover stuff, but some interesting stuff to listen to. It's sad they didn't revisit the Endless River material while Rick was still alive. I also wished they left Louder than Words an instrumental. I hate the lyrics on that song or least ask Roger if he could have written some lyrics to sum up the band's career. They were actually on speaking terms at the time. "We bitch and we fight/Dis each other on sight." Those are horrible lyrics for the Floyd's swan song. High Hopes would have been a more satisfying end to the band.
It's rather hard to find a bad song on any Floyd album! I mean some people have opinions about some of the songs on their final cut album. Some people don't like anything beyond their debut album Piper at the Gates of Dawn and are some songs on their early albums when they were doing a lot of experimenting that some people don't like. But even with that said it's still hard to find bad songs on a Floyd album!!
I could be totally wrong, and I accept that. I always thought this was a goodbye album for David towards Roger Waters. Didn’t really factor in Syd. The title,The Division Bell, gave me the sense that he was telling Roger I tried so hard to mend fences, but you just told me to bugger off. This album gave birth to the Pulse tour, which I am happy to say I was able to see the concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. I love your reactions Silas. That’s how you feel music from the heart.👏👍
And I noticed with this video that David gave the first solo to Richard, whom Roger had fired. Also, not much bass in this song. I agree, this was their goodbye. They moved on..
Good call.
Even though this is their last album proper. There is still early Floyd, which is a bit different, but also some solo albums by Roger and David to discover. Since you are a fan of David's voice and guitar it is certainly worth it to check it out at some point. Check Gilmour's song: In Any Tongue (Pompeii version) for a taste of his solo work.
This is the 7th Floyd album your are reacting to. You've been enjoying it immensely for the most part I believe. Just think how many bands and artists you have listened to that have produced so many good albums for you to enjoy. I think it won't be many.
It's wonderful for you young people to exspierence pink Floyd probably the most innovative band in the world and the only one that takes you on a journey an emotional roller coaster ride
A lot of bands would have signed a deal with the devil to produce an album like this. But A Momentary Lapse of Reason stands higher in my personal rank, because it was less self-congratulatory and manneristic. It was louder and more energetic, while this is more like a pre-retirement record. A lot of fantastic songs here, anyway.
Hey Silas great. Since summer 1994 - I was so in love in a person near the fantastic Atlantic coast by Bordeaux - I never heard the whole album again. Cluster One means: slow down, relax and brace yourself, then follow two so different high quality songs, specially Poles Apart still blows my mind. Thank you Black Rose for you info (musically I have often different opinions); I'ill get me behind the text/what he said about Syd and Roger/his wife Polly Simpson was co-author on the most tracks.
I'm looking forward to the next two parts and wait for them. But I swear no later than saturday I'll go to the beach and listen to this commercial but so atmospheric album to the fullest, surely a few times next week, I happen to be in Tuscany right now - the right music for the right time.
Rick has several parts (co-composer) and moments, e.g. in Poles Apart + in the next Marooned - Grammy 1995/best instrumental ,,,,
Gilmour riffs are unequalled bro!
The Division Bell album was released in 1994, the Pulse Concert at Earls Court, London, is part of The Division Bell world tour.
March 3rd to October 29th, 1994, 112 shows worldwide. 59 shows in 33 cities in the United States,...
Compare that to The Wall world tour in 1980, which had only 18 shows worldwide, only 12 in North America and 6 in London. The 12 total concert dates in the U.S. were only in 2 cities,... 7 in California and 5 in Uniondale Long Island, NY.
I was at the February 25th show at The Coliseum in Uniondale NY
If I recall, Cluster One sounds are the ground level sounds of a rain forest amplified.
16:23 is it about a person? its my fav song on the album, one of my all time floyd fav period, i like to believe he is singing to roger, i could be just full of it, but thats the great thing about their music, you allow your own mind to generate a picture/ or a narrative,, thats the beauty of it it allows you to decipher what it means to YOU
What Do You Want From Me - David Gilmour live in Pompeii. Best version
agreed. great concert. how he keeps going at such a quality, at 70 years old, is amazing
Hello! you skipped The Final Cut if you heard The Wall it is essential to follow the line, which in my particular point of view is much better than A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, excellent reactions, greetings!
Dude, this reaction video is one of the best. Your joy is contagious. Thank you so much.
I'm a bit of a Roger Waters-era fan but I really really love this album. Their 'Pulse' album was taken from this tour. You can find live versions of all the songs there.
What do you want from me always sounded to me like David took 'Raise my Rent' off his self titled album and came back to it with 20 extra years of experience almost as if to say this is an idea I had then, this is what I can do with it now. Polly Samson is a great lyrics writer - just different to Roger. The line "I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes", which is totally about Syd, basically an updated "now there's a look in your eye, like black holes in the sky." Apparently (per the band in various TV documentaries), that was the sign for them he'd gone mentally, his eyes were dull and lifeless.
Yes, he definitely re-used Raise my Rent for this one. I can also hear a few nods to Have A Cigar.
It's official. You're a Floydaholic.
What do you want from me is played live at David Gilmour live in Pompeii. This song seems to be based on Raise my rent from his solo album from 1978
Great Album.."high hopes" is one of my top tracks on this one.
A decent album and in my opinion a big improvement on the awful 80's production of Momentary Lapse, which I feel ruined some very decent songwriting. The only problem I have with this album is the song configuration, which comes across as disjointed. Because of this, I tried messing around with the configuration on Spotify and came up with a listing that I feel really flows much better.
1. Cluster One
2. Keep Talking
3. Take it Back
4. Marooned
5. A Great Day For Freedom
6. Lost For Words
7. What Do You Want From Me
8. Coming Back To Life
9. Poles Apart
10. Wearing The Inside Out
11. High Hopes.
It would be interesting to know if anyone prefers this configuration, or absolutely hates it. Just my personal preference on how I like to listen to the album.
I don't understand all those complaints about the '80 production. It sound old and plastified, true. But it was the way to make music in that time, and numerous rock bands made excellent use of it (we think of all the hard rock / hair metal movement). Pink Floyd simply embraced it, like they embraced the punk vibes in "Animals", the disco in "Another Brick in The Wall part II". It is not Floyd fault if that sound today is not welcomed by some integralists.
@@andreabindolini7452 Fair enough. On a personal level I just felt that the whole 80's sound wasn't representative of Pink Floyd. I'd hardly say that Another Brick in the Wall can be classed as "Disco" music, even if it does loosely use that type of production in the song. The same goes for Animals, which is inspired by punk but also not a direct punk album. There's still elements of the Floyd sound in both those records, whereas Momentary Lapse is a complete change of style.
Also, it gives me great joy to watch a young man enjoy Pink Floyd, pass the word to all your friends, keep this momentum going ❤️
Thanks for turning that up Silas... sounds good. 😎
Some of these are on pulse
Silas -- The Wall --- ya must watch the movie -- it will answer all your questions. The soundtrack is the movie --- and if you ever see marching hammers -- it is from The Wall -- --
The Moody Blues is a band that has been around for a long time -- most popular song is Nights In White Satin --
For all you youngsters out their, have a listen to this truly amazing album and let the music take you to a completely different world. This is REAL music. Pink Floyd's music in general will teach you a whole new meaning to how you listen and react to it's content.
I remember this concert well...blew my mind
Fantastic reaction, Silas. Love your enthusiasm when that guitar riff hits...! Keep up the good work.! 🙂
Loads of people criticising this album. It's up there with the rest in my opinion, and I'm going to be controversial here, but I prefer it to Animals.
Don't want to egg others on, but I hold the same opinion--which is not to say I don't like Animals, I do. Still, this album is right up there with DSotM, WYWH, and TW. The difference, though is between 9s and 10s.
So one level of interpretation here as I may have said a few days ago comes from the album title. Which is a Parliamentary term process, so you can interpret on some level the music being about ruling / governing. "what do you want from me? " is almost about electioneering and promises, Poles Apart even the name has a political suggestion, and hints at setting somebody up for a fall in order to succeed them its no coincidence that it has the phrase "Hey You..." which is of course from The Wall, its no suprise this album was released after the Berlin wall and the Iron curtain came down and reunification of Germany was going on, this is the another level of meaning of Division Bell (Germany being a country divided in two after world war II, and a bell tolling the end) I visited Germany after the wall came down and visited east and west and Poles apart is a good description of the 2 halves of the country in terms of wealth and standard of living.
One of my favs. When you come back fo PF you should watch The Wall :) and Wizard of Oz Dark Side of the Moon mashup.
The Poles Apart guitar solo is Goosebump City. David Gilmour is so good!
The Pulse concert WAS the tour of The Division Bell with other classics. Just watch the Pulse concert!
Echoes live Gdansk. With the back and forth at the end with David and Richard is a must see.
I am very impressed with your comments on pink Floyd and poles apart is a great track
The keyboard you hear is a Hammond Organ, or more specifically a b3Hammond Organ.
The b3hammond was one of their most popular models & was used by Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Genesis, Deep Purple & so many other artists, it would be easier to mention the ones that 'didn't' have a Hammond - b3.
Can't wait for Keep Talking and High Hopes. 😎
I sparked up my pipe for this reaction video, as I do to all PINK FLOYD songs/reactions... Thanks
💞Poles Apart still gives me full body chills
High hopes you will enjoy off this album Silas 👍 even better off pulse live dvd
Cluster One is a sweet intro. Shades of Astronomy Domine and Signs of Life
Richard Wright was superb on this album.
Sorely miss his talent.
Looking forward to Marooned!
Yes!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When anyone asks me "What's your favorite Floyd album, I say, "yes"....Rock ON!!
One of my favorite masterpieces.
Try "raise my rent". No vocals.....just Gilmore taking you on a spacey journey with his guitar and background instrumentals. You'll like it cause it takes you far away in less than 6 minutes.
Great reaction!
Poles apart a bueatiful tune so much omotion
You have not done The Final Cut yet. It came after The Wall and though it is very much a Roger Waters album it is worth listening to m, more alike the Wall. I personally really like The Final Cut. It has several dramatic songs
at last, my favourite PF album.
Very tough statement.
Wait! Wait! Although you may not do a reaction video, you must listen to the last song on this album. It will remain with you forever.
Ooops, I guess you will be in part 3 😁
I like this album some better now, but since A Momentary Lapse of Reason came out when I was 21, I suppose I will always like it better. That was a memorable time in my life.
Whenever you think it's about someone. It's about Roger.
While I'm here, if you're into found whole album reactions.... Animals! My favorite Pink Floyd
I think the instrument is a Farfisa Organ.
The circus was a 60s flashback ;)
I love the way WDYWFM kicks in.
Funky like dung
I believe Gilmour is writing about Roger a lot in this album.
Maybe a Halloween 🎃Weekend Special Silas ? 👻🧛♂️👽🎸🎸🎸
Thanks Silas.
Great Album.
RONNIE
SCOTLAND 🎸🎸
Yes!!!!
Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii original version... After that you will know the real Floydian soul. Ciao!
Underrated. Album.
💥💥💥
14:31 dont know if im trippin or something,,,,no my friend, your not trippin,,,you are "FLOYDIN" , as it should be, i am a kid of the 60s, so my introduction to the floyd was meddle and dark side, and i have followed faithfully every since,,it has been a complete joy for me to be able to watch you (a youngster and a floyd virgin) being totally turned on by this incredible band , an album at a time, its not good to cherry pick song from floyd albums until after you have heard and digested their albums in full before cherry picking, they are not even a band or a genre , they are a Phenomenon, they dont sound like ANYBODY, nor does anybody sound like them, they are a creative force all of their own, a lot of bands cover their stuff but there will NEVER be another floyd, they are the ones who pioneered so much in recording etc, most of the cool shit today learned from the floyd,, and the mega concerts/stadium rock was invented by them, the beatles and a few others,
Quality tune!!!!!
NO.... You're not "Trippin"..... You're listening to Pink Floyd, so you will feel like you're trippin, even without the drugs. Floyd does that to you..... Enjoy.
What do You Wnat From Me live in 2 versions... Pulse Rehearsal end David Gilmour Live in Pompeii 2016 (so good)
There's also the Pulse CD version (audio only, because it's from a concert they didn't film).
if you like the wall, you will like "the final cut", and roger waters "amused to death"
This was a great album, but by Pink Floyd standards it was missing a key element, Roger Waters. This was the first album without Waters. To me though, after being spoiled by their past music, this is like a great cake but without the icing.
Rick was NEVER wrong. Excelled on this album.
You should check out Planet - P project, they are the closest thing to Pink Floyd that I have found.
I love MLOR, it's still premiere Floyd to me. This improved on the the trios formula. Gets better with every listen too. You stay away for a while and come back to it and it's slightly more magnificent than the last listen.
Yes, the album has a lot to do with Roger Waters and the division between them.
Hi silas play some genesis or rolling stones next cheers
Now you’ve done the final album, do their first, PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN. It’s their coolest album.
What are you talking about? He hasn't done The Endless River.
@@louielouie494 ha!
The Piper at the Gates of dawn...their coolest album?!? 🤔
😕😕😕😕😕
De gustibus non est disputandum ...
@@65alef Yeah, there is no accounting for taste. Coolest? Wish You Were Here for me. 😊
hasnt done the final cut, skipped right past it, possibly because he has listened to anti waters folk.
❤❤😊😊
Just my opinion, but those are my 3 least favorite songs by Floyd. The rest of this album is great though...and every other song on every other album.
The Division Bell is by far Pink Floyds worst album ever, it makes me cringe listening to it, so middle of the road. You should listen to The Endless River which was recorded at the same time, it is a far superior album.
What a strange comment about this album. If this album is not your taste of all Pink Floyd discography is one thing but is not the worst my friend, unless you're looking for attention!
hmmm, he seems pretty into it. Maybe it's you.
Yet The Endless River is possibly the most middle of the road thrown together album in their discography. Obviously music taste is subjective, but to claim something is middle of the road before citing something middle of the road as superior is a bit weird.
@@SirHilaryManfat I wouldn't even call The Endless River MOR. It is more like middle of nowhere! It is a load of outtakes and rehashes. I have it in y collection as I am a completist. But I have listened to it only 2-3 times and likely won't anymore. The Division Bell is a decent album. I would much rather listen to it compared to The Final Cut/Moan.
@@flubblert it seems to me as a great album, The Division Bell, I am very into it, if you're referring to me, but it's not the worst of Pink Floyd, for a person(me) who's more into thrash metal to get into Pink Floyd says a lot about this album and most of the classics from Floyd's.
