  • The first time I grew up mentally and listened to this song around 1980 or so during the Wall, I immediately inherited the best song I had ever or frankly have heard in my lifetime. Feeling is the most important character of a song and here PF can not be surpassed

  • The guitar rift @ 3:56 fuckn blows my mind every time.

  • @runningman1812 yeah man i could listen to that all day

  • awesome psychedelic music!!! good stuff, good stuff! pink floyd rocks

  • these guys were flat out geniuses...saw them in 77...86...92...heaven is a continuous floyd concert...i'm sure of it!!!...

  • @jkgeiger1 I envy you

  • The first time I listened to "Echoes" back in 1971 I thought it was a masterpiece and after 40 years I still fell the same. Never has a piece of music filled me with so much joy, bewilderment, sorrow, love, wonderment and melancholy.

  • @ernestSal9 Amen.

  • it's makes my soul shiver.... is that normal?

  • @MONEERAYKAZ Absolutely.

  • Floyd echoes several kinds of feelings...

  • this.

  • pure emotions 3:57

  • @garithestratplayer MOST DEFINATE

  • FLOYD´s art is intense and powerful and will echoes forever and ever...

  • this is the best part of the song in my opinion

  • pure joy

  • LSD is gods gift to mankind why do you think it has been called the tears of the angels i have PTSD i have nightmares panic attacks real bad depression from the memories i have to live with but when i took acid for the first time it was the most wonderful experiance and feeling of pure joy happiness and love i have ever felt i had no worries or anything it really help me by opening my mind and easing my pain i felt its like you go back childhood and experiance the happiness times of your life

  • at a time when i thought i had nothing to live for anymore waking up to listen to floyd everyday was more than enough reason to carry on....antibiotics for the soul...

  • @tsenokqwz Amen brother..

  • Great! THX for all 3 parts.

  • Great! THX.

  • i listened the full song and .. it puted me in a complete relax state

  • who needs LSD or ACID just weed and you will be trippin balls for the whole song

  • hahaha lsd?yeah good at the time but not so good on the way down when you just want to unload a full mag into everyone else..or was that just my thinking?hahahahaha!hey good job ak-47s are not easy to buy....great track though!

  • fuck mate, this is most stony comment I've ever heard about this hallucinogen soundtrack...

    Brazil!!!

  • faz um garrote!!!!!!!kkkk

  • Where'd you get these images?

  • At any rate, Pink Floyd is fantastic, this song is my favorite, thank you for uploading :)

  • I'm playing this in January 2013 when the US emerges from the Obama Crisis!!

  • 7:35 dj shocca - 60hz ;)

  • @BSlim1921 grandee!!

  • I don't think any other band could have created this piece of music.

  • @squathan4 Yes, there's a band: ....PINK FLOYD!!

    Because, in this cases, only Pink Floyd can beat Pink Floyd! :)

  • I wish i didn't have to click on parts, but regardless it intensifies my high so much.

  • best thing got into my ears

  • Best part 3:48

  • The part from about 3:58 onwards is so fucking epic.

  • I sometimes skip the really weird bit that starts around 4 mins but other times, I just let it all run straight through.

    Depends how stoned I am at the time.

    LOL

  • @ColourMK7 SO TRUE!

  • None of these bands claiming to be the new pink floyd will ever grasp the ability to make this kind of music. There is and will only ever be one pink floyd.

  • I find 7:00 and onwards to be the most heartbreakingly beautiful part of this song.

  • @GrapeDrink4Life not just you :p

  • @GrapeDrink4Life I know! It's so soft and brittle and beautiful.

  • LSD isn't a killing drug at all, it's only potentially dangerous if you have a latent mental disability, or if you have a family history of schizophrenia or things of the like, otherwise it's completely harmless. In fact, the father and discoverer of LSD, Mr. Albert Hoffman, did quite a bit of LSD in his life time and lived a fruitful life as a scientist, not to mention he lived to be over 100 years old, which could be some proof linking longevity and LSD. I'm not condoning LSD but stay educated

  • @digitusmedio Ok if someone is a schizo.. how can lsd be bad? Like... yea.

  • @digitusmedio Some amazing things have come from LSD as well, a prime example being the double helix structure. When it first came out they actually recommended it to people

  • @carbot11 Interesting, I didn't know that about the double helix structure.

    That's also very true, they in fact prescribed LSD in extremely small amounts to schizophrenic patients, and it would make them temporarily sane, or so I've read. Not to mention acid king Timothy Leary, who was always urging people throughout the 1960's to turn on, tune in, and drop out, primarily by LSD.

  • 4:00 is my favourite part, ever. : )

  • this music is marvelouss

    love pink floyd,and i've never do lsd,but i better recomend hear this with ecstasy,,of course with moderation,life means experience not adiction-

    - we know what happened to musicians who falls in excess

    ^_^

  • @sangreturquesa I'm sure you're right (both about linking this song to an lsd trip and about addiction as well)

  • @dega723

    yeah it's all about responsabiliy compadre

    greetings ^^

  • Look, LSD is bad if you don't do drugs, and your opinion may change when you do (I dont)

  • The real revolution of our time,musically speaking. You can fly everywhere listening to this...

  • I honestly feel Echoes as a whole deserves more notice. Hell, the album, Meddle, deserves more notice period. Meddle seems to be very underrated for how good it is.

  • I'm a musicholic, my range is broad, rock, jazz, classical, country, blues, hybrids, etc.....but this song, this part, has got to be my favorite piece ever.

  • This song defines Pink Floyd and Progressive rock as a force!

  • from 5:40 the phantom of the opera riff seems to be taken from here

  • One day I'm going to listen to this while being on lsd. It's awesome enough as it is, but tripping? Would be EPIC.

  • @MrBl4ckY Try it with shrooms during a thunderstorm. It's beyond awesome.

  • @MrBl4ckY man, leave that lsd...live your life, don't destroy it. i'm realy serious... this song is good enough... it doesn't need any of these killing drugs...

  • @aikaterion Stop believing propaganda, all the shit you hear is bias. Acid when done in moderation opens up new doors, and lets you discover parts of yourself. Acid is one of the greatest experiences and can take you to a euphoric state. Its a beautiful thing. Its not a "killing drug" Me and all the people I've done it with for years are proof. If you read up on it, and have an experienced tripper with you, it will be amazing. Pink Floyd never sounds better than on acid.

  • @ItsNotColdEnough I agree, hate when people talk about acid like its a "killing drug" Lsd is amazing. It expands your mind and helps you think differently. Oh and its also non-toxic and has no potential of overdose. No addictive potential whatsoever. No scientific proof of harm attributed by the use of lsd in anyway. Hmmm, so how exactly is acid a ''killing drug'' @aikaterion?

  • This song is so cool!

  • sometimes, when i wake up, i hear sounds like from 2:50 ...in my head

  • 3:55- 4:27 is the best music piece i have ever heard

  • @jetsrule23x3 dude i totally agree. i just went back and relistened to that part and it's just amazing.

  • @jetsrule23x3

    yes.

    agree

  • the whole passage starting at 0:30 is so fucking epic.

    like a light coming out of the darkness, reawakening from death and fighting your way out of hell

  • tangerine dream would approve

  • Echoes , a part of the story of the music

  • quite possibly pink floyds greaatest musical effort

  • @BeLikeWater123 Quite possibly? I don't think there's any arguing that this is their greatest musical effort. Only real contest is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" in all its parts.

  • @nokturnal5647 Yes, this is Pink Floyd's greatest epic. Sadly, even classic rock stations now rarely play this song. The group Yes also composed many epic songs lasting over 20 minutes during the early-to-mid 1970's which are now rarely played, even on classic rock stations.

  • @glenn3rd2004 You're right. It's a damn shame, isn't it.

  • "I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown." JiM MoRRisoN

  • 3 people in this world are mentally retarded

  • I would listen to this when my dad was recovering from a serious brain hemmorage in the hospital. He was a huge Floyd fan, like me and we listened to this together while he healed! thank you floyd and thank you for posting this.

  • THanks for posting,great quality of all 3 ,,After all these years this song still puts me in an unexplainable state of mind :);;;;;

  • Floyd tapped into the human soul with this piece of music.

  • Great upload dude and seamless stitching. I can tell you know this song and appreciate it's awesome majesty!

  • I dare you to write something like that! 3:56

    same as "us and them" or "goodbye blue sky", just Pink Floyd could´ ve done that

  • This song makes me freak out on acid... i think the text comments are people playing under the song and right now im listetning to the song and its trying to tell me something but it cant tell me anything because its a song, all those dripps in the oceanis me leaving this earth into Then Death..

    My ACID joural thinks that this is the song they play on the transistion from soul to jesus from when you die. This song is deep

  • so perfect!!!!!!!!

  • Best Pink Floyd song ever! 

  • then hes going to go sit outside in the rain, until he gets pneumonia and cough all over the piece of paper with your screen name on it.then hes going to go to a construction site,and wait till everyones had there lunch,and toss it down a portapotty so everyone can defecate all over it.then hes gonna fish it out,and put it in the mail for you.he is also going to inclose a years worth of toenail clippings, and dog hair for your enjoyment.

  • DAMN! it cut out again! why the hell did you have to go and ruin a good thing, by making one long song into three parts?!geez,my poor brother is banging his head against a wall, screaming DAMN YOU PAZZOCOMESYDBARRETT!!!i think he needs to go to the emergancy room now,and we are holding you personaly responsible for all medical expenses!he says hes going to take your screen name, print it out,and put it on a punching bag and beat it with sticks and baseball bats.

  • Part three: down we continue...at 0:20 the engine room succeeds and at 0;28 the propellor refires. the sub heads up and reestablishes radar (piano note as in beginning) and gradually the sub steers away from the icebergs and reenters battle, until it resurfaces with the window in the wall opened streaming in sunlight as we head home and at the end redock!! Classic. This is my impression when I hear this masterpiece.

  • @Progrose that impression of echoes should be made into a movie

  • mistica, my favorite,grazie

  • Ono of my favorite song from this artists!!!

  • Entièrement d'accord. C'est la meilleure version sur Youtube avec un judicieux découpage en trois parties équilibrées. Excellent travail

  • Not advocating hallucinogen use or trying to start any arguments, but I listened to this song during the peak of a shroom trip, it was the best 23 minutes of my life.

  • Probably my favorite Pink Floyd song. Great upload, thanks

  • al minuto 3:57 si scatena l'apocalisse...

  • You could almost be overwhelmed by the sheer genius that is Pink Floyd

  • Masterpiece. Words will never describe the feelings and day dreams this song gives me.

  • Io sto per ultimare la produzione di un film su echoes...varie immagini video con lo sfondo musicale di questo immenso capolavoro.

  • The section here when it builds up and up until it finally segues perfectly into the last verse is, without a doubt, the most emotional bit of music I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. That, along with the ending where the piano and guitar slowly "duel" made me tear up the first time I heard it.

  • @nokturnal5647 Aye, David Gilmour, though not considered a fast or "technical" player, is one of my idols. Such incredible bends and awesome phrasing, and the band itself was perfect.

  • @digitusmedio I never said anything negative about his playing. Quite the contrary, his passionate and effects-heavy style is other-worldly.

  • @nokturnal5647 Well, i was agreeing with you about his passionate playing, forgive my rambling as it gave the wrong impression, he is indeed an excellent player

  • @digitusmedio No problem! David Gilmour is one of my idols as well.

  • Was walking on the Red Sea coast of Israel and heard this song playing last year!

  • Agreed, this last segment is simply classic!

  • 7:05

  • @aravindiyengarr the last section is absolutely my favorite piece of music EVER. simply amazing.

  • 3:54 - 4:27 is probably the best piece of music you will ever here.

  • wow hey! What a powerfull tune! A great Song for every times! Thank you for upload!

  • I find it funny that the vocals to this song don't come in until almost 20 minutes in! Where else are you gonna find that?

  • @catstrut713 there's some like 3 to 4 minutes in

  • @catstrut713

    Boris. Their song/album Flood, which is very Pink Floyd-esque, doesn't have vocals come in until about 30 minutes into 70 minute song.

  • Thank you very much!  Lena from Finland. Pink is the best!

  • is it just me or do i also get a sort of a gary moore vibe from listening to this

  • Nice bass!

  • Should this be played before, or after Shine on you Crazy Diamond? I can't decide.

  • @kissthesettingsun after! Definitely! Shine on your crazy diamond is the perfect intro tune and not even Echoes can change that :)

  • how genious one can be,I mean these guys, what had been going on in their heads?So much patience, beauty, consistency,literally everything gathered in a kick ass 23 min track, can anyone name any other track like that.?

  • Atom Heart Mother

    But it's the same dudes so...

  • @strawberrysick

    The Odyssey, by Incubus is worth being checked out. It was inspired by Pink Floyd. I think it's 24 minutes long or so when all 4 movements are comprised together. There's also a hidden "5th" movement on a DVD of theirs.

  • @kissthesettingsun

    It was a nice track,tnx

  • @strawberrysick Only thing i can come up with is Dream Theaters Change Of Seasons, but even they were inpired by Pink Floyd! That' says something about Pink Floyd :)

  • @strawberrysick Just got done listening to Yes' "Gates of Delirium". Yes is another band that takes me "Elsewhere"

  • It has to be said,

    this is pretty awesome!

    AWE-INSPIRING

  • wanna travel through space and time? listen to this song.

  • mostly sound effects tbh but pretty damn AWESOME

  • Could this possibly be the best song ever written and recorded? This song is beyond...EVERYTHING!!!!!

  • I think it is, it's mind-blowing!

  • LOVE the freakin Pink Floyd!! This is a freak out.

  • AMAZEMENT

  • it is song of live , and wonderfool live

  • Wooooh, it is really a breathtaking song, I don't have words for it.

  • 23 mins. and 46sec. of the best music ever to be heard by man

  • yes!

  • timeless stranded and only one song THIS IS IT. THIS MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER

  • the last 7 mins of Echoes is just bliss, orgasm...

  • its truley mind blowing when you think that a group of guys with such a big imagination can make music like this and other songs pink floyd is utterly amazing too bad they broke up before my time to see them live would complete me

  • a million ambassadors of morning! I can still after all these years close my eyes and just listen and be where I find my soul

  • absolutely BEAUTIFUL. i wish someone could make music like this today :(

  • dont worry my freind. the time of reckoning is upon us for the next great band to come out and abolish this rap and poison rock.

  • @lusitanianxenocider

    i hope so! its been a long time in the making!

  • Comment removed

  • music from another level and dimension..real music..universal music that doesn't exist anymore..

    Pink Floyd in my heart

  • das beste was es giebt

  • das beste was es giebt

  • The greatest crescendo of all time, simply amazing !

  • from God's heart

  • 2:46 almost makes me cry, just a memory of much better times...

    thanks for the upload

  • @CletusYokel97

    for me is the same

  • questa canzone è perfetta, ci sono dei passaggi che se li sogna chiunque

  • my soul would miss a whole life if this tune wouldn't be there my friend... this is music

  • this is art definitely

  • An absolutely incredible song from the world's greatest prog rock band. I still can't get over Dave's guitar solo at 3:56

  • @nate51778 same for me dude, that bit is incredible. everytime I hear it I wish it never ends

  • still gets me the greatest band ever

  • Pink Floyd gives me eardum orgasms....

  • Very True

  • The bit at 4:54 gives me chills.

  • You mean where the music tickles your soul? Yes i too get this :]

  • this track is unreal.

    music that actually means something.

    un-explainable really, just mind blowing.

  • Comment removed

  • i remember listening to this for the 3rd time (in something like early 1973), with headphones on ... and a bit stoned ... before i'd figured out the lyrics at the end, and it hit me - this (ending) part (beginning around 1:30) is a musical impression of a sunrise! (the sun

    peeks over the horizon at about 3:56)

    i always wanted to film the sunrise from Mt. Wilson (California) and set it to this music (with the twilight time-elapsed maybe 10x).

  • pochi cazzi, perfezione musicale, senza parole.

  • The best upload of that song on YouTube, definitely. Great sound quality, and all three parts are cut on the right places.

    Good job! And what a great song!

  • Thanks ;-)

  • Unfortunately, we can see that many don't like the middle part of the song. A little more than two thousand views for this, than part 2. Well, that's ok. This song is incredible, regardless.

  • best..!

  • Did we happen to send this into space aling with Beethoven's 9th?

    That would have been nice =-)

  • Any Colour you like...........Dig?

  • Pure insanity, this remains one of the most beautiful art pieces the world has ever seen (I mean heard), unsurpassed to this day.

  • untouched.

    been my favourite song for years.. and will probably be till i die.

  • Speechless, the greatest epic of our age

  • God this is perfect

  • you're a genius.

  • the most beautiful thing in the world....

  • +1 I agree

  • epic. simply epic. the middle 4 minutes of winds is frightfully chilling!

  • gives me the tingles!

  • The best part....

  • Is it only me, or in 4:54-4:58 it's "Cloudless everyGay you fall"? I know it sounds bad, but still i can hear it.

  • cloudless every day you fall
