I LOVE YOU GUYS! 😘 - Hudba
Pink Floyd's album ANIMALS is a critique of capitalism. It's their reaction to George Orwell's book "Animal Farm", that is a critique of communism.
The 3 main songs of the album are in order:
"Dogs" that represent corporations and business people, described as backstabbing sociopathic egoists.
"Pigs" who represent politicians and politics, described as complete fakes.
"Sheep" -> us, the common people, described as docile, compliant fools, meek and obedient.
Though in the end the sheep rebel against their overlords and kill them. (Happens in the song "Sheep".)
Those three songs are bookended by the two parts of the short ballad "Pigs on a Wing (Part 1 & 2)", which is about people should actually look out and care for each other, and thus works as the positive, optimistic counterpoint to the other 3 angry songs on the album.
Animal Farm isn't a critique of Communism, its a critique/allegory for Stalin's regime specifically. Orwell himself was a socialist who fought with Marxist rebels in Spain in the 1930's and saw firsthand how Stalin betrayed them.
@@ThisOldHat Yes, you are right!
Calling it just a critique of communism is rather superficial. However I just wanted to keep it short and not write an essay about the themes and motifs in Animal Farm under a reaction video to a PF song on youtube. :) But I appreciate your comment!
Don't believe everything that you read PMH.
It's a critique of communism. It's okay to just say that.
@@porflepopnecker4376 It's okay, as long as you remember that Orwell made a clear distinction between socialism and communism. He kept admiring the former throughout his life, but came to fear and loathe the latter (mainly through his experiences in Spain in the 30's).
A song nearly 20 minutes?!! Dang!!!
But for a song like "Dogs," Pink Floyd never disappoints.
Rating: 20/10
I just love how David Gilmore makes a gutair cry and scream. And watching your face you can feel the emotions.
Everyone can say "Dark side of the Moon, or "The Wall" till their blue in the face, but "Animals" is Pink Floyd's ultimate statement in musical dialogue...
And some say Wish You Were Here is. But these are their big four. It's all very subjective which is their best.
@@alrivers2297 The funny thing is, David and Roger were really butting heads and not getting along at all, but out of a that turmoil, something beautiful happened... David doesn't like talking about this album at all. It's his least favorite, but his Guitar playing... Godlike!!
And in my opinion the main guitar solo is orders of magnitude greater than comfortably numb eventhough that one always hits the top solos of all time.
@@antimatter2380 This album came out when i was 17, I thought it was, along with "A farewell to Kings" by Rush as pivotal albums by these two bands!! Musical Perfection...
@@antimatter2380 yes, to me Time and Dogs have his best guitar work.
It's great to see you younger generation appreciate the great music that came out in the 60's,70's, the music I grew up on. It's probably the 2 best decades ever that rock songs were composed. Roger Waters was typically known for writing songs on the darker side and Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath. Somebody has to. Can't have all love songs.
Pink, this was a great reaction! Thank you. I'd like to address something you said. You stated that this wouldn't be a go to song for you. You're right on the mark, but you've got to understand something. Back in the day, it was albums, not singles. Except for the radio pop, and especially with prog rock bands, you listened to complete albums. Dogs is not a single to go on your mix playlist. It's only part of a 40 minute piece of work. 70s Floyd, Yes, Genesis, and the likes are albums meant to be enjoyed as a whole. Good exploration!
Best conception of Pink Floyd: “Music man for the common man by uncommon men”
Best description I have heard is "Pink Floyd massages the brain".
Grande syd barret
This tune is the essence of Pink Floyd. Taking the listener on a journey, or telling a story about the realities of life. And all the while as the listener is completely absorbed into trying grasp the meaning of what is being conveyed. One can almost lose track of the masterful music that helps paint the picture of what the listener is offered. Coupling the captivating material with the tremendous musical artistry is what puts Pink Floyd in their own class. Pigs, and Sheep should follow this number.
This song gives me chills everytime
7:55 I make that face when I hear great guitar too, I call it Eargasm Face or "E-face"
Watch 'Pink Floyd live in Pompeii - Echoes' to see how genius they were live.
OMG! I have that DVD. That is one of my most favorite rock & roll films ever. The music of ECHOES alongside the scenery of Pompeii. You can tell it was a hot climate during the filming with one or two members not wearing shirts or shoes at times.
First react to the studio version tho
Serious beautiful piece of music art that can transport anyone to any given place. Masterpiece....
I was extremely lucky to see Pink Floyd in 1975 in Vancouver Canada, i had no idea they would go on to be one of the greatest bands on the planet ! i never get tired of listening to them, i wish i kept the 12 dollar ticket stub
Pink Floyd... Masters of the Concept Album. "Animals" is one of the best!
Omg....absolutely. I can.t say there.s one OF song that i.'ve disliked I.'ve LOVED them since I was 11. My oldest brother had Dark Side and the Wall on CD!!!! Nobody had that shit yet. Anyways, I.m an old broad now and i.'ve followed them since. My ONLY regret in my life so far is not having seen them live. Especially knowing their reputation of having BRILLIANTLY creative live gigs.
🍸🍸🍸
Well said Animals is the best of Floyd full stop..................
So aggressive musically and lyrically! Just heaven when that guitar comes in
Dear Mona, consider this a special invition to Pink, which all should a treasure. I as African American have being Pink Floyd fan for over 40 years!
PMH beautiful!
Pinkfloyd beautiful!
Great you've done this.... It is related to George Orwell's book animal farm...... And capitalism in 1970s Britain.... The different classes of people.... and how they operate within society..... It's quite deep..... and one of my favorite songs
I'm really glad you found this, Floyd was a pioneer in this style of music.
I get chills through the whole song. Especially toward the end when you here the whistle..
"Here boy! Do our bidding!" That's where I lose it. Masterpiece
"This was a journey, this was an experience, and Pink Floyd never fails to do that." Nailed it!
I was lucky enough to be exposed early on to this masterpiece (ANIMALS is my favorite PF album). Glad you do as well..
One of the best!!! I love when you react to Floyd. ❤️
You are a classy listener with down-to-earth tastes!
*When you are reading the words to the song as it is going along, think of it as a "hand-book" on how to climb to the top of the corporate ladder and then it will all make perfect sense.*
This album is based on the book animal farm by George Orwell which is a commentary on socialism and is often misinterpreted as it being about the flaws of capitalism. I love pink floyd and they're my favorite band but roger waters is an extreme leftist and he totally missed the point of this book. This song is great though, especially when listened to on acid......you can see the music!
@@sephiroth10191 It's about human nature, not socialism, or capitalism
@@tomg6318 sorry dude but you're wrong. Pink floyd has said it's about animal farm even.
@@sephiroth10191 so what, animal farm is about workers being exploited, and greed, to say it's all about socialism is wrong
@@tomg6318 no, animal farm is a critique of communism/socialism. You can read the history of it and the author.
She got mind blown with the lyrics.
"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to"
I'm thinking of how appropriate that applies to our current Great Leader. And then when they turn their backs on him, how quickly he stabs them in the back. So true.
@@rondohunter8966 It applies to the former, and the one before, and the one before just as much.
@@rondohunter8966 Jay Weyland
its not only your great leader (your words) in reality how many people would you honestly trust when the majority of people from all walks of life are out for themselves and very easily lie to your face to convince you of something (even if you see it for yourself ) that you didnt see it hear it or read it ........... and quite honestly career politicians are the worst at it
..........its people on the street on the tv in newspapers that only tell you half the story at most and if you dont check for yourself the whole story you will never know the whole truth
The Nile song.just enjoy British humour dudes? Or dude and dudette?don't want to start off by pissing off your gender,you American friend xb
It's really hard to get sick of this song. Believe me, I've tried.
So don't try lol. PF is apart of your soul. You can't get rid of your soul can you?
that goes for the whole album,apart from TRYING to get sick of anything Floyd did,which is alien to me.
Impossible to ever tire of
I found Animals hard to love for the longest time, but then I give it another try and it just spoke to me.. it's been my favourite album for 20+yrs now
it makes me feel miserable and angry as fuck, but I can't stop listening to it LOL
it mostly pisses me off that NOTHING has ever changed since this was released in 1977... and not only that, instead of taking this song for a deep reflection on life, most fans take it simply as something to listen to in the background while smoking a joint...
The album is inspired by the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.
Who else has to listen to at least the beginning of PIGS after listening to DOGS.
I can never listen to just “a” song on this album. I have to listen all the way through. Vinyl and headphones preferred.
You don't so much listen to Pink Floyd's music as experience it. Great to see young people discovering them. x
I love Dogs...never thought someone would do a reaction to this very underrated song !
"It's like a movie! I'm getting all these images in my head!" Welcome to Pink Floyd!
The crazy thing is that Corporate greed and corrupt business people seemed to only get worse after the time that this album came out. Society should have been listening to Floyd. Instead we went down the "Wolf of Wall Street" path. Reagan deregulated everything and let corporations rule our lives with an iron fist. OK, I'm off of my soapbox now. Let's just appreciate Pink Floyd.. *Genius*
That's the thing: the critique about the view of "success" in capitalism, and what it takes to succeed, and what it looks like is even MORE needed today than it was even back then.
Roger wrote this pre-Reagan, pre-Thatcher (you want to know what he thought about Thatcher, listen to his albums in the 80's and the Final Cut), and he knew what it was about. He knew what that kind of selfish greed, that fetishization of success no matter the cost, would lead to.
Crazy Harmony? Or inevitable... Besides, not everyone knows when they're being manipulated.
You wouldn't be posting using any of the fruits of capitalism, and the innovation it brings, would you?
wasn't it what the lefties like Roger Waters were asking for? deregulation? just goes to show that progressivism is not the solution for everything
I still remember in recent times when Uber appeared in the block, taxi unions resisted it as much as they could and we all thought that taxis were overpriced and offered a terrible service... now jump to present day and Uber has turned into a major source of worker exploitation and abusive working conditions, low salaries... all of us including myself were fooled by the illusion of "freedom"
Animals is my all time favorite Floyd album. Pure perfection.
1:23 And it depends on your mood of the moment as well... when I put a Pink Floyd record on, I never know how it's gonna make me feel. It will rather give me insight in how I feel. A particular line may stand out at different times, exposing the deeper feelings that I was hiding from myself. They're very therapeutic in that way.
Gee I hope a PF expert comes here and comments in a lengthy post all that they know about PF, what this song means, where it fits into the album and that PF albums are meant to be listened to from beginning to end. That would be refreshing
Luvvit! Roger - that's the guy who wrote all the words after Syd fried his head and then fell out with Dave and lost the rights to the Floyd name - would be proud ;)
It won't be long
Or someone starts banging on about how this is so superior to “alL tHe muSIc noWadAys”. That never happens either. 🙄
I worked in the dog eat dog business world until I retired. It sucked! The older you get the more you can relate to this song! This is in my top 5 PF songs along with Time, Comfortably Numb, Echoes, Shine On.
I've been listening to this album, This Song in particular since the mid 80s. It is a deep song and it just seems to get deeper the older I get. It never gets old; I never get tired of it. There is great music, but this is something else completely.
my favorite Floyd song
Best floyd track ever
Never gets old
Pink Floyd always speak about the human condition. Always emotive. Lessons for life. Genius.
easily my favorite album. ever. regardless on band or group
Absolutely
This album is so underated!!! My favorite album by them.
You are missing something unless you hear this through headphones...the sense of distance and direction swirls around your head in "Quadraphonic" (all 4 directions instead of stereo's 2 directions) Now they call it surround...these guys were pioneers in 3-D sound.
Bud Greene When I was in Japan in mid-73 the new thing on the market was quad just sold my Sansui it was sitting in the closet, but when you had a quad record it sounded great. BUT they were so expensive when I got out of the navy and no job I didn't have many. Still have two speakers left gonna hang onto those just for shits and giggles. ( wife's tablet )
NO BACKUP SINGERS. NO SAX. JUST THE FOUR OF THEM ALONE. STRIPPED DOWN AND CREATING. REAL FLOYD MUSIC.
no fucking sax... EVER... please
LOL
“A balloon squeezing out of air”, I love that!
I’m glad you closed your eyes and just “felt” this song
Boba Fett not a song to put on at a party, it’s an album to be listened to in one sitting. Just like the rest of Floyd in the Waters era.
Meddle through the Wall are my favorites, but Animals is the absolute rawest Pink Floyd you can get
my dad is saving this album for me to hear for when i'm older
THAT'S WHYYYYY YOU SHOULD DO FULL FLOYD ALBUMS, THEY'RE ALLLLL CONCEPTS! DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, WISH YOU WERE HERE, ANIMALS, ETC! ;-) :)
This is great and you're lovely. This piece, which is side one of the album, is one of the darkest, most evil set of lyrics put forth on a song. This piece is my personal favorite of this lineup's catalog. This, to me, is their finest hour.
Always listen to a song for the first time without lyrics.The joy of the newness of a piece of music for the first time and the feelings we get are magical.Investigate later the meaning.For me this is the best way to interpret an artists labor and enjoy the music first...Oh and sharing your soul through the soulful "great gig in the sky" brought tears to my eyes.It has been said that is the first time a woman's orgasm has been captured on vinyl..Just sayin....Rock on sister....Dont miss out on David Gilmours Pink Floyd albums and his solo work.His genius composing and guitar work is unmistakable.Love and peace sister!
Such a smart and classy lady. Thank you for appreciating the Floyd. You rock!🙂
This album is close to my heart. All the songs are named after animals.
Do "Pigs".
"Fearless" is another big Pink Floyd jam that i think stands on its own. Its from an earlier album.
This is Roger Waters musical take on George Orwell's Animal Farm but taken from the angle of crony Capitalism so Pigs = Government, Dogs = CEO's, Bankers and Managers whilst the Sheep = Us the obedient unquestioning people.
Meddle. I like Pillow Of Winds
@@1969JohnnyM that's exactly correct.. just like when he called out Mary Whitehouse from the English Parliament oar House of Lords..
hey you WhiteHouse
and of course you fucked up old hag
and a lot of people don't realize on Pigs 3 different ones song this is where Trey and Matt the creators of South Park got the legendary Cartman phrase ha ha charade you are
Exactly
@@waynestumbo2408 One of their best albums. I even love San Tropez.
I think you should react Pink Floyd “Carful with that axe eugene” please do the live Brighton 1972 or the Pompeii version.
I'm a self employed brick layer and remember playing this whilst we worked on a 10 acre ranch house and when pinks dogs barked on the song the ranch dogs got up to bark back🐕🐕🐕
Not one dislike .. that’s Pink Floyd for you
Pink Floyd makes you see.
Heard this for the first time maybe 3 months ago and haven’t stopped playing it, just awesome!
Floyd rules. My Christmas music this year. Animals is pure genius.Never could i get tired of it
Animals is such an outstanding piece of art! please listen to Pigs and Sheep to! You won't regret it!
Relax
I always thought that Dogs, Pigs and Sheep represented the different types of people they categorised in society.
Fantastic album! ☮️
"I've got all this imagery in my head..."
Bingo! You get it.
Yay! My favorite PF song from my favorite PF album and both in my top 5 of everything. Roger's lyrics, though dark, have never been better and Dave's guitar was never more expressive. Every song on this album is tied in with the others though. Based on Animal Farm.
This album seems like it was written for exactly what is going on in this country today. Especially "Pigs". Another good one, Pink!
"Dogs" (originally composed as "You've Got to Be Crazy") is a song by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on the album Animals in 1977. This song was one of several to be considered for the band's "best of" album Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd.
Fitting into the album's Orwellian concept of comparing human behavior to various animals, "Dogs" concentrates on the aggressive, ruthlessly competitive world of business, describing a high-powered businessman. The first two verses detail his predatory nature - outwardly charming and respectable with his "club tie and a firm handshake, a certain look in the eye and an easy smile", while behind this facade he lies waiting "to pick out the easy meat...to strike when the moment is right", and to stab those who trust him in the back. Subsequent verses portray the emptiness of his existence catching up to him as he grows older, retiring to the south rich but unloved: "just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer", and drowning under the weight of a metaphorical stone.
The final verse explores a number of aspects of business life and how it compares to dogs, for example taking chances and being "trained not to spit in the fan", losing their individuality ("broken by trained personnel"), obeying their superiors ("fitted with collar and chain"), being rewarded for good behaviour ("given a pat on the back" [Incorrectly "given a seat in the stand" in original LP liner notes, corrected for CD liner notes!]), working harder than the other workers ("breaking away from the pack") and getting to know everyone but spending less time with family ("only a stranger at home"). Recommended by a friend of Roger Waters named Joel Eaves, this line was personal to him as he was split from his family at infancy, being "broken away", as he put it. He later joined the Air Force squadron known as "Wolfpack", which directly inspired the implementation of this line. Every line of this verse begins with the words "Who was", which prompted comparison to Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl". However, Waters has denied the Ginsberg poem was any influence on his lyrics. Instead, these lines can be seen as subordinate clauses to the lyric line that precedes them ("And you believe at heart everyone's a killer/Who was born in a house full of pain/Who was [etc.]").
Pink Floyd's Animals = WIN
My favourite Pink Floyd song. Thank you PinkMetalHead for listening to it
Love your stuff Pink. Keep it up
PMH, So nice to see you this morning !! Great song reaction today. Love the Floyd. Have a great day.
Glad to see you doing more Pink Floyd! Thanks!
I've watched several "so and so reacts" channels, and yours is my fave. You put effort into your analysis, your voice is soothing, your reactions aren't over the top and carry the authenticity that goes way beyond small talk. You have such a genuineness about you, I hope this youtube channel thing turns out to be more rewarding than you ever thought it could be. By the depth of your reactions so far, it seems that way. Much love, and thanks.
Props for giving this a listen you have a awesome channel
This is the greatest song of all time
Yes
It’s up there, the groove on this album is amazing
Finally I’ve been waiting for this 💯
It is beautiful to watch a young person listen to and appreciate the music I grew up on. I could watch it all day long. Stay cool and inquisitive
Hey Pink Metal! Just discovered your channel
Pink Floyd is an experience best heard through
headphones. They are masters of their crafts.
Fantastic song, album, tour (1st PF Show), band! Welcome to our world.
This songs message will still be revelant tomorrow, next month, next year and also the future
Just as Sound of Silsnce
Its all the future..
Same with 'time' from dark side.
A masterpiece! ❤
Ahh dogs. The business men of this world.
Or the mentality of those who feel alone, and fend for theirselves.
@James Smith no, dogs are the businessmen, pigs are politicians (all politicians but three specific ones are sung about), sheep are the general public.
İ am crazy about this song 💓 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Just like a movie. Exactly. It's the continuously evolving music, a symphony.
YESSSSSSSSSS finally! - Now that you've done dogs, you HAVE to do the rest of the album.
Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest albums ever written, however, Animals is Pink Floyds greatest album. Always so overlooked due to the long songs.
Pigs, Dogs and Sheep are 3 categories of people in the world based on the novel Animal Farm.
In each one, they take you through what it feels like to be one of those people, and how the others see you.
In short, Pigs are the politicians, CEOs etc. Dogs are the salesmen who are trying to climb the endless ladder, and sheep are the people who are trodden upon.
Amazing!!! An epic work of Art!! True Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd are true 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴, who perform in the rock genre. 🎸🎧🎼
Love you, Pink!!!!!
i love your reactions yooo
Your intelligence and insight is way beyond your years. Spot on with regard to the instrumentation.
Basically about the live of a wall street banker. Pink Floyd are timeless, and always very relevant. thanks for the tube hun. 🤘😍
that stone keeps echoing. in Dogs, again in Sheep, and then 2 years later in Hey You on The Wall!
I like watching you because you are authentic, real and are sensitive to feelings and your surroundings like I am. ty
I think you are incredible love your videos. Big fan! I wish you the best.😘
This is such an amazing album, and this song in particular is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song. When I was 16, Sheep was my favorite song off of this album, because it has more "punch". But through the years this has become my favorite.
And you are beautiful.
This album as well as a few others mentallly takes me on a small light journey & moves you around to some places you feel like you need to be & gently puts you back where you are. -
Hey you found my #1 album of all time. When you want to fill space by listening to a whole album, this works every time.
You are Awesome!!!! pretty much one of my favorite Pink Floyd tunes :)
This is one my favorite Pink Floyd songs, the lyrics and guitar are insane. But sadly a lot of people have never this before lol. Thanks for doing a reaction video!
Outstanding song, outstanding reaction. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
Very refreshing my dear! Thanks for that!
