on the turning away - pink floyd

[carlosinvernal]

Simplemente la mejor

[MisrSouperman]

This is one of those songs where everything else in the room must be quiet ... not another noise to disturb the plain beauty of this magnificent piece of art.

[judowes]

best pink floyd solo ever -kights a lighter and starts swaying- xD

[SpaceOdyssey56]

When is a karaoke company going to wake up and release a version of this?

[bloodcult6]

nice video!

[909090210]

REMEMBER YOU MUST BUILD A WALL BEFORE YOU CAN TEAR IT DOWN!!! ROGER WAS AND STILL IS THE MAN! HE WORKS STAND ALONE.. ......

[909090210]

IT GETS NO BETTER THEN THIS!!

[Lobitta504]

This is a very touching and powerful song...I love it very much

[necromancer209]

lol I find it hilarious how literal this video is

[sefuqua]

Yeah, I would not call this a power ballad...

[threebrooks19]

Power ballad? Cinderella, Def Leppard, Europe, make power ballads. Pink Floyd makes beautiful music.....

[Velthura]

This is quite a powerful song. Regardless of any real life connections the tone and beat of this song in my opinion is quite unmatched by anything put out in todays "mainstream" music genre. The guitar solo at the end is just as powerful and relaxing as the song itself. Wonderfully done and by far cannot ever be duplicated in the manner Pink Floyd did. Accept no substitute than Roger Waters and Pink Floyd. This song flat out rocks!!

[CrabCrow]

@Velthura lol at thinking Roger had anything to do with this song. David gilmour, richard wright, nick mason thank them plox. Don't get me wrong The Wall is my favorite album by far BUUUUUUT Waters left the band long before this was written.

[sp4eva1]

this is a very beautiful powerful song, without being annoying or overly done :)

[Meiacoffeestain]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.

[sp4eva1]

@Meiacoffeestain I agree, and it's so calming.

[MsBagheera92]

you can't tell me this song doesn't reach inside you and shake your soul.

[Veritysrealm]

@MsBagheera92 It has since the first time I heard it, brings me to tears every time I hear it!

[sandordeak]

one of the best guitar solo from him

[stockinettestitch]

This reminds me so much of muslims taking over. The way they want to treat women, girls, even each other.

[kylegotmoney]

These guitar solos have so much spirit in them!

[chrislandrum62]

Roger's an arrogant prick. Yes their music was great with him in it, but it is great without him too.

[pencilgerman]

My grandma just died today, a woman who's been in my life for 16 years. (I'm 17 haha :P) . I put on this song, because I know Pink Floyd can numb my pain.

[RADanny]

My mother, who grew up in Belfast and first heard this song at 70, burst into tears listening to this. 

[diperrimax]

its not pink floyd without roger.. :(

[breezeplayer800]

very nicely done

[MrBenHooper]

it sounds like their just saying anything to match their melodic mastepiece ...but it actually makes total sence when you put a little thought in it.

[tuesdayblackmon]

<3 <3 <3 R!ght ON <3 <3 <3

[communistjesus]

True Story... This band got it's name from a DUDE named Floyd who loved to wear PINK.. So in his honour they named the band PINK Floyd..

[cryingskies77]

@communistjesus hahaha, not even close buddy.

[TheKevywev]

@communistjesus no they didnt

[communistjesus]

@TheKevywev  YESSSSSSSSSSSSS, THEY DID..

[KingNerdofChatham]

@communistjesus No they didn't. They got their name from two bluesmen. Pink Anderson and Floyd Council



[Melachromatic]

@KingNerdofChatham yep right on the money

[oneoftheiahuahsha]

let us not only not turn away from the helpless but let us turn to them for it helps us to help them even more than it helps them so let us help them so that we may be helped for we need to be helped just as badly as they need the help of us god help us help them in the name of the jesus ameyn

[damintruth]

Many may turn away from me.But never turn away from the Lord of Host.For that is the full truth that man must seek for foregivness.Not our Glory,but there glory that we may know the begining.Man can only tell you the truth or a big lie.But in the lord of Host you will know the truth.For none can set beside God without falling.Isaiah 14v12 The morning star Rev 22v16 morning star.Job 41 Leviathan will trick many in this.For i have falling from God that can only save you.Glory the lord of host.

[78rohan]

It all begins with Pink Floyd..

[sparknpa]

I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this song live.

Every time I saw Pink Floyd, I was left with a feeling of great awe. And although the car was always crowded, the ride home was always silent.

Thanks Kaattz.

[snflwr1977]

@sparknpa I saw them as well, it's something that sticks with you. No performance has ever come close...but looks like we are going to get a chance to see them again! I had always hoped for 1 more chance and they have decided to grant us their presence again. Hope those that haven't seen them do go it's amazing!

[ccronn]

Two of the speechless could not unite in a silent accord...

[sledgenwedge]

if we as people ....humans didnt have music our world wouldnt be a s compassionate saddest thing still,with our abilities to communicate and ingenious methods of relating our emotions through music and lyrics we still have the turning away from each other in disa

greement

[ArtificialHorizon1]

open a new tab play U2's MLK in it, then when Bono finishes singing when the song ends, press play on this.... its amazing

[lillithdancing]

I have a son with Autism and this song touches my heart like a ballad for those who suffer and those who support. Plus im a HUGE Pink Floyd fan

[ColorUsBlue]

@lillithdancing Remember to always "Keep Talking" to him....



[rich92784]

great tune!! this is MUSIC!!

[prober45]

2 measly people should turn and walk away... they have no heart anyway

[weswill55]

This is a song about compassion for those who are of the "Have Nots". Appreciate Sir Gilmour's sensitivity and sincere concern for those who "Have Not".

[d0men007]

Personaly my favorite song of pink floyd :) It's amzaing!

[jeanpaulkassdale]

@gilmourguitar123 actually this is gilmour s style here

[jeanpaulkassdale]

so much talent and sensibility in one song...

[lunkem]

one of the best songs ....

[delinquentnerd]

I just cried..

[W6S0A4]

this song makes me cry...RIP brothers

[MissCartoonist]

How can you NOT like this? ;_;

[GeorgeK10gr]

"Don't accept that what's happening

Is just a case of others' suffering

Or you'll find that you're joining in

The turning away"

[SuperDarkside1234]

@GeorgeK10gr awsome song just listen to the lyrics telling us to look around and make peace with on another before your all alone

[jeremycparr]

it saddens me to see the suffering. i dont have any sympathy for those who wont get off of their ass when opporitunity is all around them! The weak fall and stay poor!

[kingofgolf72]

Even through all the drugs and insanity they still managed to put out some songs with some real, concrete meaning.

[powertothepeaceful90]

@kingofgolf72 All the best songs were created under the influence of one substance or another...

[powertothepeaceful90]

@kingofgolf72 All the best songs were created under the influence of one substance or another...

[justwanna007]

Great words! Classic indeed!!

[SRAussie65]

I feel sorry for the simpletons who voted this masterpiece "thumbs down". Truly a classic song from a classic band. What a shame that genuine talent is being replaced by reality drones and crap that all sounds the same. This is hypnotic gold that touches the Soul. THIS IS MUSIC AT ITS FINEST!!!

[craezee247]

I think i heard this song once when i was a kid and now i just stumbled upon it and im crying lol...havent shed a tear in so much time i couldnt remember the feeling and now im crying like a baby its stupid i knoq

[SDSsociety]

2 people turned away :)

[IrinaDana89]

This video is hear since 2009 and only 105.683 views?! Its should me 100 times more. And maybe the person that push dislike button, thought that it means "dis i like".

On the turning away..one of their best song...

And Pink Floyd the best band ever!

[SRAussie65]

@IrinaDana89 Your comment is spot on and quite humerous!

[ihaveasoul10]

These dudes are on another level

[EqualityThroughMusic]

Wow, what a beautiful song.

I know quite a few Pink Floyd songs but I don't think I've heard this before - it's amazing.

[meseethat1]

Only David could have dug deep into his soul to write these lyrics. Roger, in all his greatness, could not see past his inner self. And of course, they were one of the greatest groups off all time.

[esrapk]

No more turning away.

And yes it´s a dream ...

... but we can dream

[hamsteradorable]

amazing Pink Floyd for ever and ever

[stolenfeather]

One of PF's best works!

[raxxalexx]

NOBODY DISLIKES PINK FLOYD ! AMAZING FACT !! AMAZING SONG !!

[azothdaco]

brothers..sisters...When one feels pain..we all feel pain! The PEOPLE ARE ONE!!!

[chillyb71]

yes indeed. one of the most melodic/beautifully arranged pieces of art to ever be heard. Thank you Mr Gilmour. For not giving up on PF, and working so hard to keep the music going. Just think, if not for his persistence, this may have not, (or have somehow), ever happened. :)

[Nero853]

Man Pink Floyd Is So Great !!

Nobody dislikes!

[Vorrtz]

one the wings of the night.. ,love that song.. something beautiful, Pink FLoyd are amazing.

[drpaulie123]

Such a great meaning and emotion

[erdoelve]

This is one of the hymns of the humanity ! People should sing it in the churches

accompanied by this fine video- is simply just perfect

[MaGmaN20]

wonderful.

[marcellamelgaco13]

this song is really fantastic ! one of the most beautiful and contagious song ! Flotd aways . and the rest doesn't even matter.

[lau1irie]

nada me emociona mas que esta perfecta cancion! nada tiene mas sentimiento! que grosos pink floyd por diooooooos!!!!!!!!!

[AmiLyn100]

I remember my father's amazement with Pink Floyd and him saying to me 34 years ago, "this band is epic ...they will be legend, they are beyond their time". He was right! Now, I'm a fan and I attend their concerts. It is correct to say that history repeats itself.

[80sneverdie]

this isn`t just a song

this is a piece of art!

[tteu123]

What a stunning solo.

[MrJbradley1977]

I think this is the only tyoutube video I've ever seen w/o any dislikes...Pink Floyd is my favorite band ever..wishing I could have seen them live...

[huitmlza]

Sans être un grand fan de Pink Floyd,je reconnais que c'est un groupe énorme!!!avec des morceaux de musique aujourd'hui dans la légende.

[NikaziO14]

2:44 omg that image

[Matheushr]

This is a Pink Floyd song that most people don't know it's value... in my opinion, this is the most beautiful Pink Floyd song.

[timepoet77]

@Matheushr I couldn't agree more. We need them back now more than ever. Boy, Gilmour hit the target with this. He foresaw the rise of all the crap from Snookis, Lady Gag-Gags, and all the other worthless junk now passing off as "music". Again, bring Floyd back now. Our world needs this.

[spacerock927]

@timepoet77 I couldn't agree more.

R.I.P Richard

[ginastarke2]

@Matheushr That's a choice I'd never want to make. I LOVE almost everything they've done over the years - even their early stuff !

[ginger4bailey]

@Matheushr Yes. I completely agree. Most beautiful of theirs and one of most beautiful of anyone's.

[judowes]

@Matheushr that and high hopes is just SOOOOOOO GOOD

[11cwest]

if the radio stations could just stop wearing out all there same songs plays some others like this one

[jbeamaral]

One of the BEST songs Ever.............<3

[cbc7348]

Just a World that we all must share! Don't be driven on by a heart of stone! Show your Love to someone today!

[Amaresku]

i love i love i love so much

[silentsniper5789]

I prefer Comfortably Numb or High hopes. Maybe even Sorrow but this one is still awesome.

[kitkatbabe1]

They all are so amazing. Beautiful words ~ with a beautiful voice and such beautiful music

[KarenSofia21]

wow this has got to be one of my favorites from pinkfloyd, kudos to you, you did a really nice job on the video and lyrics

[mygreatlovenova]

bestest pink floyd song ever!!!!!!

[emleehaha0419]

this is my fav pink floyd song..awesome

[mygreatlovenova]

@emleehaha0419 so heartfelt

[PsilliPig]

It gives one chills because it is the simple truth, stated plainly. We need to evolve into compassionate creatures or we will perish. Unfortunately different religions give people to believe that there is some mysterious and powerful point in destroying people of other religions. It's just species competition but believing some god or another wants so much death keeps it going on and fucking on.

[caslox]

Best Floyd song ever.

[ledzeppelinV]

THIS IS A GILMOUR'S MASTERPIECE!!

[missbadkitty22]

What a wonderful thought "No More Turning Away" it's sad that it will probably never happend.

[Rhioka]

This is my favorite Floyd song :) Nothing like David Gilmore.

[fimatmax]

the only thing that will unfortunately end suffering onthis planet will be armagedon

[Cale2057]

I think that she is not afraid of taking chances and she is a woman who knows her own strength. --> - Naked Lady Gaga. C0000M - -

[drexmovie]

bellissima canzone....come sempre :D

[kornrocks00cr125]

one of the best songs ever recorded hands down

[fimatmax]

this stillmakes me cry at 34 such a wasted oppertunity this world has wed rather kill each other than help one-another maybe we deserve obliteration.

[1omagaman]

@fimatmax Don't join the turning away.

[alexxarian]

@fimatmax Don't worry my friend, we are just having a bad dream, that's all. The time of awakening to a glorious, divine morning is fast approaching. There exists neither eternal damnation nor oblivion.

[whiteoutguy1]

Can any one tell me what this song is about. :) thanks

[jimmm7339ki3456]

@whiteoutguy1 It means don't turn away from the weak and the weary, the poor and the hungry. Don't bully people that are weak physically and/or mentally. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Watch "On the Turning Away?- Carl Sagan-Pale Blue Dot, and you will see that we are pretty small in the vast Universe. And all the blood spilled over All-Time in all wars and conflicts are pretty meaningless and stupid. Like Carl Sagan said "Just to be the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."

[m3shell]

Amazing lyrics! Thanks David Icke for bringing this wonderful song to my attention :)

[sevenender]

amazing and wonderfull wow!

[Mickyjoeblue]

best everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....words of this song will make you step back and look at your own life...its just my favourite. powerfull song.

[Mickyjoeblue]

[Circumpunk]

Song stands on it's own. Your video (visuals) meets it eye to eye. Great job!

[redwhitch17]

Driven on by a heart of stone

We could find that were all alone

In the dream of the proud...........

[triptoheaveandho]

[katswind]

Powerful lyrics, as usual, music to think to...Love Pink Floyd, always get's my head right.

[thebluesrockers]

I love this band. so much feeling and they are not like anything else. they are in a league of their own. thanks for this tune and awesome video. it fits this song perfectly. Peace...

[AB212HPB]

Dave Gilmour's Song! Outstanding!!

[takvoto]

Yeah, there's really nothing like listening to Pink Floyd!



[redwhitch17]

Time to chill..

[TheGerManMarC]

where the speechless unite in a silent accore..best line..

[g11690102]

the apex of life, carried out in the balance of the wings, the whistle of the bomb it sings, we are now turning away, may your bodies be carried away, these are my words for this day, i hope they don't get carried away. the power of the triangle.was there someone home. when it left it's dome?

[AB212HPB]

Pink Floyd 4 ever! Ultimate!!

[Gigsixstrings]

good job!

[emboladoomeiodecampo]

Essa música, é bonita demais da conta!.

[Nero853]

@emboladoomeiodecampo você tem rasão, essa música eh mto bonita =]

[tuktukskagal]

This is one of my fave Floyd songs:if not my fave.

Great vid to go with it.

"No more Turning Away from the coldness inside....".

Brilliant.

[ridenourjames]

i still get goose bumps listening to this song

[mygreatlovenova]

@ridenourjames so beautiful

[redwhitch17]

Just a world that we all must share

Its not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that therell be

No more turning away

[hulkverde5]

On the wings of the night

As the daytime is stirring

Where the speechless unite

In a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange

And mesmerized as they light the flame

Feel the new wind of change

On the wings of the night....

fck this is the liifeee.

(L)

[WOWZA3775]

they played this today at my school for the martin luther king assembly

[JaguarEscarlata]

This is my favorite Pink Floyd song.

[GCgame]

@JaguarEscarlata And this is my favorite song.

[kaattz]

yep, nothing like listening to Pink Floyd!

[redwhitch17]

Just how it should be..Just Pink Floyd...

That right Kashif..

[kaattz]

Just a world that we all must share

Its not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that therell be

No more turning away?

[xwingclass]

maybe the new generation should have these lyrics. the best lyrics were in the 70's and the magic 80's.

sorrow- "sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over this land" what a start. cant beat that.

[whatUneverknew]

@kaattz - those are the lines I just quoted too! =)

[silvyr]

@kaattz <3 Love and Peace!

[alagumbo]

This is great! Love the video and music. Great work!

[Frankenfukstein]

Freaking Cool work K. got to love your work on this. Perfect

[kaattz]

[redwhitch17]

On the wings of the night

As the daytime is stirring

Where the speechless unite

In a silent accord

[redwhitch17]

Using words you will find are strange

And mesmerized as they light the flame

Feel the new wind of change

On the wings of the night

[kaattz]

No more turning away

From the weak and the weary

No more turning away

From the coldness inside

[kaattz]

to the last 5 comments, pls make me understand the connection between Pink Floyd and mariah carey!

if you have not figured it out yet, this is a Pink Floyd classic ;-)

[cunainas]

The ups and downs of life stole a lot of things from me. Amongst other things, I have lost my ability to cry. But for some reason music brings out all the repressed emotions that my darkness doesn't allow to come out.

This song... I don't even know how to describe it. But thanks to you I will be sleeping a lot better tonight after sobbing for a bit.

The image of the hand giving some water to child along with the lyrics... too powerful...

What has this world become?

What have we become...?

[caslox]

@cunainas We, the human race have developed into the most destructive hate filled force on this planet of ours, if we dont change our ways soon, we face extinction. The words of this amazing song can give us some hope.

[DarthLucario]

whats that picture at 5:21?

[sabrinaellis77]

Great imagery!

Makes me feel the despair portrayed in the sad pictures and joy in the happier ones. Thank you for the video and mostly, the song.  Pink Floyd is the best!

[atriptothedentist]

Simply Awesome!. . ♫

Thaaanx

[1999productions]

great song

[OMGdarkangel]

awesome song. I sang it in a talent show and got first place. :)

[RadioBazterd]

I love A Momentary Lapse Of Reason - great song. I also love One Slip from that album.

Great pictures too.

5***

Thanks Kashif.
