As for what the song "Dogs" is about - generally, it's about businessmen...working your way up the corporate ladder, stabbing people in the back, and ending up retired in a southern climate (like Florida), and dying. The entire album is loosely based on a book called "Animal Farm." The different animals in the book represent different walks of life...different social and economic groups. Dogs are the corporate world, Pigs represent the ruling class, and the Sheep - that's us...the general population. That's a VERY loose interpretation - look up the book Animal Farm and you'll better be able to relate to the songs on this album. "Pigs On The Wing" - that's a reference to and old saying "...when pigs fly" - meaning, something that is unlikely to ever happen.
"Pigs on the wing" was a love song to Waters' (then) new wife, and "on the wing" is a fighter pilot expression that enemy aircraft are approaching. So she's his shelter from those who would do him harm.
@@psbarrow According to Nick Mason in Nick Schaffner's book, its not so much about her being his shelter from those that would harm him, but about her ability to hold her own with him as an equal intellectually, protecting him from those he saw as intellectually inferior to him. As Mason put it, you have "...to be very good with semantics to win an argument with Roger". Roger felt Carolyne was one of the few people that truly understood his views and was able to argue both sides of the coin with him. You have to remember the time frame the song was written in. It was the period where Rogers felt no one respected or appreciated his music. To the point that he spit on a concert goer during the tour for the album. "Zig zagging our way through the boredom and pain" - how he felt their life would be if she wasn't able to hold her own with him. "So, I don't feel alone, or the weight of the stone" - someone finally understands me and I don't have to carry this weight that maybe the problem of no one understanding me is because no one does.
@@krkhns That doesn't really fit the lyrics, though. Waters himself said that the first part is asking "“Where would I be without you?” while the second verse says, “In the face of all this other shit-confusion, sidetracks, difficulties-you care, and that makes it possible to survive.” They're Waters' own words (quoted on p.549 of Jean-Michel Guesdon. “Pink Floyd All the Songs").
@@psbarrow It doesn't fit as you interpret it. I can name about 25 songs that seem to have a glaringly obvious meaning that isn't the meaning at all. It is a love song to Carloyne, but the majority is about her being his equal and is what motivated him to write it. He felt without the song, the album would be a single piece of rage. He wanted something to create some type of balance so he broke the song in two and bookended it on the album. Read the book Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey, pages 216-219, the section about Pigs on the Wing. In the 15 years since published, neither Mason nor Waters has contradicted the Mason quotes. If it were wrong, you'd at least expect Mason to say something since it is him being quoted and referenced.
@@krkhns I quoted the guy who wrote it, you don't. You're quoting Mason (who didn't write the lyrics), making general remarks about Waters' relationship with her and the song's structure (which I'm not questioning), and I don't expect members of Floyd to go around correcting each other over every song. I'll repeat what Waters said specifically about the song in an interview, where the first verse asks: "“Where would I be without you?” while the second verse says, “In the face of all this other shit-confusion, sidetracks, difficulties-you care, and that makes it possible to survive.”
If you want to keep arguing about it, I suggest you take it up with Waters (not me) and point out to him that he's wrong about what he wrote.
Dogs is a masterpiece. The first section is like a training manual for getting ahead in business, if you’re willing to do whatever it takes. It’s all about becoming the Big Dog. You want to hate that persona, the guy who just pushes career until he’s alone and bitter and you feel like, good riddance. But THEN, the second half of the song is the reveal: the dog was just a pawn to the REAL owners: the pigs. The alpha male is really just being used, used up almost literally. He doesn’t realize it until the end-he thought he was rising up the ladder, but he was just doing the work for the real money men. And suddenly you feel nothing but sympathy for the same character you hated! I only figured this out recently while watching someone else react to this, so a) don’t feel bad if it doesn’t come to you bc it took me literally 30 years, and b) feel great that your reactions help other people learn and grow right along with you, even if they know the song. Peace!
Great explanation to a masterpiece. Thank you. Pink Floyd forever.
Great reply..learning more from you after 40 years PF fan.
China Joe Joe approves this comment!
"And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around"
After 4 decades of listening and experiencing this music, I find new insights into the landscape of the band every time I break out the old vinyl. Pink Floyd is probably destined to always be pertinent, because it seems that although it's poignant in it's retrospect, as time goes on we see that it was prophetic at the same time. Loved your breakdown on "Animals". Spot on!
You're doing your part in sharing older music that shaped a generation.
It may have shaped a generation but it also influenced some generations later. And now Jojo is taking it a step further even more in the future.
Animals is my fave PF album ever. I used to listen to this album every night to go to sleep when I was a teen. Thanks for reacting to it.
For true Floyd fans, "Animals" is usually the favorite.
Not that the other albums are bad. I love them all for different reasons. But this album is dark, industrial, angry....LOVE IT!!!!!!
@@sydIRISH Hmmm. I suppose I really am "true" Floyd fan, then... :-)
Yes mine too love this album
The term you're looking for is called "concept album", where an entire record follows a theme or story. From "Animals", "Dark Side Of The Moon", "The Wall", to "The Final Cut" (the last album with bassist Roger Waters), no one did this better than Pink Floyd
Don't forget Wish You Were Here
@@reality1958 The ode to Syd? CAN'T forget it! But since damn near every album between his departure and Roger's could be argued as a concept album, I felt I had to draw the line somewhere. Lol
@@thomasmalmin6194 10-4!
Arguably tull on thick as a brick passion play as well and yes on close to the edge and relayer (tho not technically a CA) and a few others.
"Experimental" would also work here :) "Concept" is also good
Just an FYI - you will here Floyd refer to the "stone" on several albums. The "stone" is the weight of life's pressures. "Dragged down by the stone" = "dragged down by the pressures and challenges of life". On the album The Wall (Hey You) - "Will you help me to carry the stone?" = "Will you help me navigate life's pressures?"
🗿
I also always think of the historic carrying of "the stone" - a massive effort, as in the moving and placement of the stones at Stonehenge. Quite English, yes?
I'm a 57 year old white dude but watching you so much reminds me of when I discovered Pink Floyd in the early 70s
My all-time favorite album.
Same
This album is about the only album I have ever listened to that, once it starts playing I get lost in it and nothing matters.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd album. You are 100% correct in saying that each album is fundamentally different. Next album to get into is The Wall. But Wish You Were Here is also super smooth.
*Excellent REACTION and the Comment in the Beginning was Awesome. I'm going to pray for that young man. This was Great! & CONGRATS on 10k Subscribers*
My favorite Floyd album!! Great reaction!!
PS I don’t want to advocate anything illegal for your age or where you live, but the instrumental sections of this album are a fair bit more interesting if you’re stoned. Stay high(drated) kids! 😃
Weed isn’t illegal ;)
@@jsghetler it is in a lot of places.
6:41 that face explains it all, That's exactly how I felt the first time I heard this song. Pink Floyd is my favorite band. Keep it up, I enjoy very much all of your reactions, specially when you do Pink Floyd.
DOGS= BUSINESSMEN, PIGS= THE GOVERNMENT, SHEEP= THE PEOPLE :) GREAT STORY ALBUM OF COURSE, HOPE THAT HELPS YOU SOME JOJO AND YOU ENJOYYYYY IT!
In the absolute simplest terms, the album is about the cutthroat world of big business.
I've always listened to Dogs imagining waters sitting across from from a music executive having a rather frank discussion.
Pink Floyd was 1 of a few select groups that had a concept for records and each song played to that 1 concept ... as several have noted Pink Floyd is best listened to in the order on the record and having lyrics to see and read is a great help .... Thanks for playing this
Another notable group that did this was Rush. Do you think we dare expose JoJo to them? If you add that to the Pink Floyd experience, it might cause an overload. I've been developing a tolerance since the early 70s. It might not be fair to hit a 20 year old guy with that much in just a couple of years.
You have just listened to the finest guitar solo ever in Rock And Roll! Congratulations!
The lyrics are worth looking up for a re-listen
You must read George Orwells Animal Farm for the background research
Thanks for doing Animals! DSOM is great, but Animals is my favorite. Really only 3 songs, but they're awesome! Looking forward to Pt 2 and part 3.
interesting, your list says "pigs in the wing". it is actually "pigs on the wing".
good catch, I missed that.
He's just reading what the person who posted the video wrote.
You petty wanker leave him alone
How is that interesting? You have a low bar for what’s interesting.
From Wikipedia: 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"), 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.
WOLFPACK!! HHHUUUAA!!!
Great reaction. I’m glad you’re doing the whole album. Dogs is about unethical businessmen. Next song pigs( three different ones) is about unethical politicians. Can’t wait for your next installment. Thank you for sharing with us.❤️😀👍❤️✌️🌼
I got to see Roger Waters perform this album live. It was incredible.
can you tell me about it? do you remember any of the reactions of the people around you? did people not like it or the band members for some reason because it was the punk era? i’m 24 and live in NYC i missed out on all the great music and concerts lol.
This album came out in 1977, and yet in 2020 it sounds just as good. And the animal concept applies just as much today as it did back then. Pink Floyd will always stand the test of time. There just won’t be another band like them. That’s why they’ll sound amazing FOREVER!
You are so right. They are a concept album producing band and pull from any musical style to drive the vibe or message,and they target one's soul ,the best at that!! love it keep going!!
Glad to see you decided to review the entire album at once and not song by song. Most Pink Floyd was meant to be listened to from beginning to end. Hearing PF on the radio almost always leaves me feeling cheated.
I love seeing yours and people in general's reaction to hearing PF for the first time. You made a comment in one of your videos that it was not what you expected and you thought it would be hard heavy metal rock or something to that effect. That is what my Mom thought too back in the late 1970's until one time I took her somewhere and popped in the cassette deck in my car Dark Side Of The Moon. I had it cranked up pretty loud and she sat there and listened to the whole thing and did not ask me to turn it down and did not say a word. When it was over she said who was that? They are very good and I enjoyed it. When I told her who it was she thought I was lying. LOL Same goes for The Grateful Dead. Most people think they are heavy metal who never heard them. Todays Country music makes The Dead sound like a church choir.
You're the most real reaction channel no cap. Keep up the great vids!
Thank you!! This has so many different emotions. 💪
The instrumentation on this is outstanding, as you pointed out. Pink Floyd blends acoustic and electric beautifully, and their other albums are no less amazing. You are likely to enjoy pretty much everything they've done. Peace and Happy New Year.
Dude, why don't you just pull up the lyrics??
No way, I can't believe you are doing this album. This is awesome!
Their best album
Eh
Stellar album choice 👍
Pink Floyd are the supreme concept album specialists.
Great video bro 👍
Good reaction. I really had to really focus on being patient because I like this song and really dig people reacting to it. You did a really good balance with pausing sometimes so you can tell us where you're at with it, but not too much pausing. Hey, you're giving your honest reaction and I can see that you were getting into the tune. One word of caution and it's not negative. Just be careful with Pink Floyd because they leave lots of space between the notes to give the music a chance to really breathe. Some time go back and listen to Pink Floyd and note the spaces between the notes. There's alot there in the spaces if you're into musical patterns if that makes sense. (I don't really mean that there is music in between the notes...I'm saying that they leave space between the notes or let the notes last a long time so it has depth) Anyway thanks for doing this reaction. Enjoying it.
Thank You for all you do, bringing music i grew up on to a new generatoin and opening people eyes to it.
It's taken me a long time they get this album and listen to it properly, it's easily one of their best albums in my opinion, a real masterpiece.
I've said this before in other reactions but back in the day when Pink Floyd debuted this album in 77 there were no distractions. And when I talk about distractions I mean cell phones, video games, DVD players, computers Etc we had none of that! If you were lucky you had a TV with five or six channels and a record player or maybe a cassette player and that was it! If you wanted to see a movie you had to go to a theater if you wanted to play video games you had to go to an arcade. So long songs with stories once you started it that's all you had to do was listen to that music. Some FM stations played with a called album Rock and would play long songs! Also even if you had a TV you were lucky if you had a 27 inch screen and that was a big one! Plus in 1977 not everybody even had a color TV it was black and white for many!!
And clothes hanger antennas with aluminum foil hangin' offa dem! Peace!
You could listen to this album a hundred times and still hear something new It's really brittiant in its own way.
Now that you said the thing about a whole album feeling like a whole song, you should check out Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory by Dream Theater. All songs in this album segue into each other and tell a full story that should be made into a movie. If you do make a reaction to this as a full album review keep in mind that it’s over 70 minutes long
Best album ever ♡
There's a great video on Vinyl Rewind's CZcams channel called "How Pink Floyd made Animals". It explains everything you need to know about this album.
Animals was one of the most underrated albums when it was released. Remember, this followed Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here (1973 & 1975 respectively). Those are some big shoes to fill. While I liked it in 1977 because it was Pink Floyd, I didn't appreciate the masterful touch until the mid-2000s. I really only liked Pigs (Three Different Ones). Once I listened to the whole album, beginning to end, did I gain the appreciation it was due.
Really digging your reactions brother. The music of my childhood (and still today). I see you in NSU hoodies. We’re in the same area. Keep it up dude. 😎🎶☮️
I love it how you totally fell for Pink Floyd. I’ve been completely immersed for almost ten years(back when). I know it all in and around. And Animals is my favorite album.
I'm going to comment as I always do about this particular Pink Floyd album.
The thing that makes animals stand out from some of the other great Pink Floyd albums is it is just the band. Floyd had just purchased a new studio and wanted to get back to basics. This album is unique because there is no Orchestra, no saxophone, no background singers, No guest vocalists, there is only bass, guitar, keyboards, and drums.
Each animal is a human personality type. The dog is the ruthless businessman, the pig is the politician, sheep are the rest of society doing what is expected of them.
Basically about the rat race with dogs instead, cheating your way to the top all for what? Retirement alone and dying. Animals represent the different types of humans and their failings weaknesses or imagined strengths.
brooo you got to get to that part 2 my man. Pigs is such a wildass song
It is, im suprised he didn't continued the album reaction :/
Queensryche "Operation Mindcrime" full album is dope
One of their best of all time! Have it on vinyl!!
You nailed it!!! Blues and jazz combination. This album is, somehow, based on the book "Animal farm" from George Orwell. There are lambs, pigs and dogs on that book.
This entire album is a parody of George Orwell's book Animal Farm, of which looks at Communism in the Soviet Union through the analogy of animals. This album, however, is a critique on Capitalism but uses the same imagery of Orwell's book. This is thus called an "Orwellian Work".
Pigs On The Wing is just a love song Roger Waters wrote for his wife.
Dogs details the sneaky businessmen who use sharp tactics to present, convince, and ultimately backstab other businessmen. This was the most notable use of their signature reference to "the Stone", in which one is often held or pulled down by. In the old day (and possibly still today), when a dog was too old to be of use, they were brought on a boat, tied to a chain with a big weight, often a stone, and thrown into the water to pull them down and drown them. In this song, it's used to represent a businessmen who makes so many sharp deals that they eventually come back around to bite him in the back. You make so many commitments and overlook loopholes that others will use against you. This happens to people all the time, no matter how rich they can get. It just happened to Taylor Swift and her catelogue.
The instrument in the break during the first verse that you wondered if it was bass is actually the guitar. Specifically, David Gilmour’s guitar. 🙌
listen to " one of these days" from meddle- best 11 words ever made, yes bud, not many can do that doing 33 mins on one side lol- i would realy like to talk to sometime on the phone,- i can tell u every word or damed close man, floyd was always my fave band, floyd, roger waters solo,
David Gilmore plays both acoustic and lead. Super group.
Animals as one continuous song. It is a concept album.
Before reacting to Pigs (three of them), you may want to research the song so you get an idea of who the three Pigs are and a better understanding of the song.
I give you huge kudos for reacting and being so respctful of music which is not really your choice. I have tried repeatedly to listen to a couple of the bands who get the most praise, I won't name them as I got some serious abuse on one thread. Anyway, these two bands have been around as long as PF and Led Zeppelin, my favourites, and they both leave me cold. I listen for a while, then reach the end of my tether. I can, like you, hear the expertise and talent but I just have to switch off or I'll do some damage to my psyche. I admire your patience. Bless you.
In the mid-1970s, the punk movement criticized the old rock groups for becoming too commercial and no longer denouncing abuses by governments, the system and other authorities. This album is in a way the response of Roger Waters (lyricist) to the criticisms emanating from the punk movement, and more particularly, certain punk groups including: the (The Sex Pistols), (The Clash) or (The Damned), to the point of finding Johnny Rotten (The Sex Pistols) walking Carnaby Street flanked by an "I hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt.
Got this album in 78
Went to the concert. May 6th, 1977 Anaheim Stadium. The tour was called "In the Flesh". It would take two years before we knew why. Unlike the European leg, we also got Us And Them as the encore, along with Money
"I can't hear myself speak right now..." Good, that's how great music is supposed to be listened to.
Nice reaction young man.
As great as this album is, you should have experienced the "In the Flesh" tour, when Pink Floyd promoted the "Animals" album in 1977. June 28th, Phillys Spectrum.
Simply mindblowing.
I was 3 in 1977, I was only able to see them(sans Waters of course) on the opening show of the 1994 Division Bell Tour in Miami....Still the greatest memory of my life that did not involve my kids being born....Stay Safe!!!!
@@cornfedjuggalo I was old in 1977.
I am a dinosaur almost due for extinction in 2020 😁
@@cornfedjuggalo Cherish and spend as much time with your kids. 1 day you will turn around and "10 years have got behind you".
Seems like yesterday my daughter was a toddler. Now, she 3 toddlers running around creating chaos.
What? WTH happened too the time?
You know what's great about grandkids? After they empty your wallet, eat all your food, when you "come too" from their butt kicking and the TKO, you can give them back. Till the next round. Thank God I have a great "cut man" in my corner.
dont apologize for pausing to make remarks. your thoughts? that's the whole point of these channels, it's fascinating to pick the brain of someone from a different cultural and generational standpoint poke into these iconic songs with fresh eyes, jsut as those who grew up with them did. you really gotta take the time and ingest the stuff.
oh, Blue Oyster Cult - Veteran of the Psychic Wars LIVE. The live version is crucial, because VOTPSWis actually kinda a lame song, but the guitar solo on the live record is so incredible, Buck Dharma (yes, that is his name) goes fuckin IN, in such a way that feels like a precursor to music that wouldn't have a genre name for another 30 years later. You thought Freebird was intense? Bruh. They called them the thinkin' man's metal band for a reason.
You haven't discovered Rock, you've discovered Prog-Rock ... Pink Floyd are the Gods of Prog, but for more concept album type stuff you can check out bands like Marillion, Yes, Riverside, Roger Waters (his solo stuff away from Floyd) and a whole host of others ... btw the Pig flying over Battersea Power Station album cover was actually done for real, it's a photograph. The giant inflatable pig tether broke (supposedly) and the pig floated off, causing chaos with aircraft circling for Heathrow airport, the largest airport in the London area, it was regarded as a major aviation incident at the time, all over the news channels, "giant inflatable pig brings major airport to a standstill", making it really great publicity for the album!.
Tommy by the Who. Another concept album. Thanks!
I KNOW you're gonna finish this album!
You need to look up a video about what this album is about. It's a great album by itself but when you look it up and realize it changes your entire perspective on it it's crazy.
Can't wait for Part 2!!!!!
Dogs is 17:02 long by itself. Welcome to the Pink Floyd rabbit hole my man.
The first modern "album", considered as such - conceptual, is from The Beatles - "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". You should react to some songs from that masterpiece.
Love this album, but can’t wait for you to listen to “The Wall” in it’s entirety. It’s an hour and 20ish minutes long, but man, the story of The Wall is so profound and powerful. You’ll fall in love with it. Each song is so deep and feels like they can be their own story, but all contribute to chapters of “Pink’s” life. Highly HIGHLY recommend if you didn’t already plan on listening to it
Good catch, re: rock: it can be anything, Rock music. Especially prog(ressive) Rock of the 70s
Yes, genesis (phil collins of recent re-fame), king crimson.
Re lyrics: animals was themed around Orwell animal farm
Roger waters divided people into 3 kinds (for the album) pigs (rulers and cops) dogs (managers and overseers for pigs) and sheep (followers).
The acoustic short pigs on the wing, parts 1 n 2 were a love song of sorts added to give the album some warmth.
Many find it there fav floyd disc tho not as famous as dark side of moon, the wall or wish you were here.
Much respect for your respect of rock
My top 3 favs from 70s:
Jethro Tull : thick as a brick
Yes : going for the one
Genesis : trick of the tail
Amazing rare runner up :
Happy the man : crafty hands
Happy reviewing and 2o21
70s rock was peak because the record companies excercised little control at that point and life was inexpensive and vietnam had counter culture awake till 1975.
And cannabis and psychedelics and democracy had a party.
Rock music was the love child. Lol
(《 not saying it is sustainable ...all things have their place tho 》)
You should have had the lyrics pulled up. They are worth the read.
certainly not taking away from Floyd (they are one of my favorites and this one one of my favorite albums) but you will learn as you get deeper into rock n roll music...no...they aren't the only band that can do one continuous album. there are many...and many who did it real well. more on the 'progressive' rock side...but when you get to 'yes', 'genesis', king crimson' and many others, youi'll get it
Great video, Part 2?
I would check out two of their older albums called Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, which really goes to show how experimental they were.
prog rock Genesis,lamb lies down on broadway song or full concept album one of my faves as is this and wish yo were here
I like how the guitarsolos avoid the harmonics. A little indicator of the disjointed way of thinking that ‘dogs’ use, I think. I had a great time learning how to play them, had to rethink a lot of what I thought I knew
The technique that you are describing around the 10 minute lark of this video is the hallmark of a specific sub-genre of rock and metal called “progressive.”
Animals è un lavoro stratosferico......
I Pink Floyd narrano stati d'animo, spaccati culturali, desideri e miserie.....
I Pink Floyd sono l'unica band moderna che può sedersi accanto a Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Chopin, Miles Davis e pochi altri ancora.....
So no part 2?
You have no choice but to do The Wall, next. You won’t regret it.
I’m sorry for your loss.
12:30 The 'Dog' is being dragged down by the 'stone' made up of the bad blood they have accrued while climbing over people and stabbing them in the back to get to the top. This portion of the song, in my opinion, is something akin to the Dog's experience being bragged into the results actions, reliving the horrible things that they have done to end up where the are... Away from everyone they have known/hurt/betrayed in their lives, hiding from them, if you will, down south... while the are dying of cancer... all alone.
Rap, hip hop, rock and RnB all have their grandfather in jazz and the blues. Check out Robert Johnson and then check out what famous musicians have to say about him…
Good reaction man, keep going.
No that wasn't a bass you were hearing, and it's pronounced like "Base", not like "Bass" the fish.
another great reaction, sir
Pink Floyd broke Society into 3 basic groups....Dogs, Pigs, and Sheep.
Dogs are the loners who will do anything to get ahead, and out of self-preservation, at the cost of alienating everyone else.
Pigs are the elitists who use, manipulate, and abuse anyone to keep themselves above all else. Loosely based on Animal Farm, since they use Dogs to keep themselves in power.
Sheep are the those, who are subjugated to be the fodder for the Dogs and Pigs, but since they are the largest in number, can crush their overlords if they choose to organize and fight back. That's us.
Hence...they have described the hierarchy of virtually every country in the world.
I get not wanting to get too deep in the lyrics and just being there to vibe to the music, but with Pink Floyd and many bands, their lyrics are important to the music, ESPECIALLY on the next album The Wall, which many will tell you needs to be heard all the way through.
When you do The Wall (which oughta be the last full PF album reaction since the rest aren't concept albums), you'll need the lyrics up to understand the music. They built that entire album off of a story and the music tells the story just as much as the lyrics, but you need both. If you need help, there are plenty of websites and blogs that breakdown the lyrics for each song so you don't have to dig too deep.
I'm not seeing part 2. Where is part 2?
“Dark Side of the Moon” album is the biggest seller of theirs.
I worked for the record company for a while.
I know it’s big but I figured the wall was their best seller

The song is about the different types of people in general life, for example, in your country, you may have heard someone referred to as a dog, perhaps someone who, cynically use people for their own benefit! I hope this is helpful, just, when you are listening to a lot of Roger Waters lyrics, he is quite a cynical, left leaning,( politics wise) man, whose father died during World War two. He is not to everyone's taste, but i think you will find, all the Pink Floyd albums, where he the main contributor, ( and i mean all the ones before and including "The Final cut") the music is simply brilliant. His musical writing is the next level! And ever since Roger Waters left the band, and especially since Richard Wright died, i personally believe that the magic they possessed as an outfit, is lost for any future collaborations as a group! Btw, when they first started, which was 2 years before my birth, Syd Barrett was the main creative driver of the group, if you listen to any of their music from this time, it is totally different, with Waters not being so overbearing, but still adding imput. A lot of that earlier stuff cannot be properly appreciated, without a little, ha ha, chemical enhancement! Unfortunately, Syd developed schizophrenia around 1968 -- 70 and was forced from the group! For what it's worth, being an artist myself, i believe great art can sometimes come from suffering, and also having schizophrenia, and been through a lot, i feel an affinity with Waters, because, apart from also being cynical, my father was also in WW2 but he survived and was very abusive. I still am living with the trauma now! Not that my level of talent is not to the level of Waters. You can check my art out at my Instagram account #peterkiilart and even Michael Collins of Apollo eleven fame has liked some of my work, you would have to find a rectangular shaped drawing of a portal, into a bar/pub! And one after that! I hope this comment is useful to someone!
Of course all art can be open to interpretation, well should be, unless a definte message is aimed for!! Love your channel, btw, i just wish i was young again, like you! So much to discover, and i wish i was as positive as you! I guess i am jaded! On Roger Waters, though, if you manage to read a bit about during their tours of the US in the 70s ,well after animals had come out, once they were on stage in Montreal, and the crowd were very rowdy and throwing firecrackers on the stage, Waters was getting more and more furious, and one fan starting running at the stage, and climbed screen fencing, separating the band from the crowd, and Roger screamed at him and spat in his face. The security took him away, and the band went backstage and regrouped later on, so at that point of the bands history, Waters was totally sick of touring, even, at one point, making a phone call to his wife, in the U.K., and some strange man answered! Well, at the end of all this drama, and the end of the seventies, Waters was inspired by the fact, that he could separate himself from the crowd, who could be intrusive to the performance, by literally building a wall, so that's what led to The Walls genesis! Also, Waters solo stuff is brilliant too, he truly is a masterful musician! The years of touring the Animals album were so traumatic to the band, and brings up so many bad memories, that i do not think they perform any of the tracks from the record, these days in the modern 'Pink Floyd "! Also, when Waters left the group, he tried to stop the band from keeping using the same name!

True story. The pig on the album cover really is an inflatable balloon floating above Battersea Power Station. It's not photoshop or faked. While they were shooting the cover, it got loose and floated away but they got it back. It's apparently called 'Archie'. When the Simpsons Movie premiered in London, for publicity 'Spider Pig' was floated above the station in homage to Floyd.
You should react to "Pulse - Live" the magic of Pink Floyd increases by a factor of 10 fold
