Pink Floyd Welcome to the Machine

[TheBobski1972]

our lass went to the bar n brought me a white wine n soda back...i said "how i wish you were beer"

[IsNully]

This is a song about how tough it is being Pink Floyd. Poor Pink Floyd: they never had a chance.

[petestrat07]

@IsNully no its not lol

[masterkingsam11]

Everyone Loves Pink Floyd

[fhdgfyh]

You probably shouldn't put commercials on songs that aren't yours (seeing how there are laws against that)

[Iwasfreeonce]

@fhdgfyh no one cares

[COLTxPYTHON]

I like it here!

[simonson593]

Twisted brought me here

[DrAlexandrius]

8 dislikes lol

[raeven1212]

I don't care what anyone says, this is one of the most relaxful songs ever written

[ftffighter]

one word, and idc what people say...Acid

[workingforworldpeace]

@ftffighter Pink Floyd dislikes

[AmericanRebel1776]

pink floyd is amazing with headphones

[quetzalel]

I'm listening to this song with my ibeats (rezound ones) and this song has NEVER sounded better-umm I mean except live of course! :)

[quetzalel]

8 ppl need to be welcomed to the machine!

[TheTeasready]

I like living in the machine

[mikak3607]

The song explores the band's negativity towards the music industry and the whole of industrialized society. The song centers around an aspiring musician who is getting signed by a seedy executive to the music industry, The lyrics also allude to the band's disillusionment with the music industry as a money-making machine rather than a forum of artistic expression. -- this is what's happening even these days, all the teenagers of this time are inspired by the actual music industry. that's wrong.

nada me hace tan feliz que escuchar pink floyd, este tema me vuelve loooooco!!

[righthandlefttemple]

JEFF!

[THE13EARJEW]

@righthandlefttemple That's why I'm here too lol. I like Pink Floyd, but I never heard this song.

[sdwhitesox]

the machine could mean different things to different people...it's up to us to recognize what the machine is, and to break out of it in our own way

[666FARRAH]

@sdwhitesox The whole album was made by Gilmour, and Waters to Syd because he left. Connect the song to Syd. Wish you were here, the name speaks of the meaning, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, the really tell him to shine, "you painter, you......", Syd was a painter too. Have a Cigar, also in some way to related to Syd.

[kcarter4100]

You Didn't Like School And You Know Your Nobody's Fool.....

[sneekyweezel]

"You punished your mom by buying a guitar- that's what this song's REALLY about!!"

[WeHateFatChx]

waters or gilmour? i just figured out which was which and it disappointed me for some reason, gilmour is the man i like

[Goonabasec7]

wtf why is youtube not playing Pink Foyd!!!

[SecretRevelation]

why do people always use the 'dark side of the moon' album cover for song from wish you were here

[666FARRAH]

@SecretRevelation Because Pink Floyd are known to most of the people by the album cover of 'Dark Side of The Moon', and that's what they're really known for, the prism and rainbow, maybe not to you, but I think that's the situation for most people. And for god's sake, chill, and enjoy the quality music.

[Phantom6051]

@666FARRAH crap

[christreigns1]

@SecretRevelation people are limited you know..

[Phantom6051]

@SecretRevelation they have no imagination

[Headstrong87]

@SecretRevelation Because that's the only album they know.

[IsaacHunt769]

@SecretRevelation saw the video in the side bar and though the same thing before i even got here haha

[Patriot1389]

@SecretRevelation

Probably becouse Dark Side along with Thriller and Back to Black are best selling LP in history ;)

[heathereliza1014]

Seriously have nothing better to do becides focus on religion on a PINK FLOYD song? Respect eachother and just listen to the goddamn music.

Scuse me,

Gosh darn.

[chlorinechemist]

this song is depressing

[RandomCriticsify]

Hello, around the world. Next, check out my creative instrumental version of Welcome to the Machine by googling:  "HOW I SHORT-CIRCUITED PINK FLOYD'S MACHINE by FLYING CLOUD NINE".

Thank you,

[pototo104]

HERMANRISING;i have not problem with religious people,but is weird to read a comment like this on music chanel,so u comment have something to do with this song or pink floyd on particular.?

[hermanrising]

Jesus is a part of our history not science or theory. He walked the earth and did all the things that he said and the history record's reflect that he is true and real! You can visit the places he went and see the monuments there still today. and Jesus Loves You! even if you don't like him.

[MrLedzeppelinfan33]

@hermanrising absolutely right ! ! !

[rockshow45]

@hermanrising I love Jesus Christ and God and I'm a christian, but may I ask how does this pertain to Pink Floyd. Not meaning to sound rude.

[pototo104]

the only i need to feel alive,is close my eyes and listen this beautiful song.

[JayP204LP]

Nvm the trumpet noises in the sky...I wanna hear this 0:40

[LilithDarkNisha]

this not real.. parallel world..

[Yohoho151rum]

@joeslavin55 EPIC ANALYSIS IS EPIC!

[SherryZProductions]

Put this at MAX sound in your room.

Close your eyes, and imagine a UFO landing on your roof.

[hermanrising]

This is what it sounds like to be in an Xbox

[willfrillman]

[O2N2Concepts]

This isnt from Dark Side of the moon... that symbol is just an interpretation of the Dark Side Of The Moon album art

[nickster6661]

i herd this song was about the old guitarist Syd Barrett

[KylesThoughts]

@nickster6661 shine on you crazy diamond was about him.

[captainobvious49]

L.S.D

[KushChronQueen]

haha just got my mom high listening to this nd now she can't stop reminiscing of those days...shes so lucky she grew up during the 60s/70s. it was such a simpler time. people these days don't have a care for anything, especially good music like this. welcome to the machiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

[captbob1834]

i took a girl to the dark side of the moon concert,she fell asleep - was it me , pink floyd or was she dead ?

[GuitarVampire93]

Love this song. dunno why, but its one of Pink Floyd's best songs they ever made

[DerrickthePinecone]

I was in a store today & the girl checking me out asked me if it was my first time there. My reply was "yes." Then she said, "Welccccommmmeeeee!" & I said, "Thank you! Welcomeeeeeeeeee to the Machine!" Then she said, "Yes! A small machine, perhaps, but a machine nonetheless." I don't think she 'got' what I was referring to (or either she did & didn't say anything), but I was definitely referencing the greatest band ever, Pink Floyd. I just HAD to come & listen to this after such a conversation.

[TheSixstring95]

It's nice to know that there are only five people who Pink Floyd doesn't welcome to the machine.

[nikegirl1972]

Trippy O_______O

[rock4everization]

pink floyd, deep purple, led zeppelin, uriah heep, rolling stones, guns`n roses, genesis, badlands,nazareth, slade, iron maiden and others are THE FUCKERS ♥♥♥ 

[OnFireSTEIN]

@rock4everization don't ever compare Pink Floyd to Guns n' Roses.

[TeamDonito]

and this is off the album dark side of the moon

[VyainHunter]

@TeamDonito

Research "Is welcome to the machine apart of wish you were here album" it will say this is from wish you were here and i have a god damn copy of dark side of the moon and wish you were here ( and a hole shit load of others)

[VyainHunter]

@TeamDonito

Also they used the dark side of the moon pic because dark side of the moon is one of the most famous and known albums ( I've listen to Pink Floyd my whole life

[TeamDonito]

they became famous after the album animals dummy

[VyainHunter]

This album is "Wish you were here" Dedicated to there guitarest who quit as soon as they became famus (which is this album when they became famus.)

[BiohazardJAD]

Just love this song.

[gjw000]

when i was younger, used to listen to pink floyd and the orb (early to mid 1990s), the orb were always touted as a worthy successor to the floyd, at least if you were on the bong every day. i would really love to know who the present day floyd/orb is...

[calebmachoman]

There's no love it button :(

[ARVINABATT]

comparing Lady GaGa to Pink Floyd???? Baaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaa­ahaaaaaaa Bahhhhaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa!!!!­!!!

[DestroyerOfSense000]

@ARVINABATT I'm comparing your mom to Pink Floyd.

[ARVINABATT]

@DestroyerOfSense000 Thanks, I consider that a vompliment....haha, yo momma!

[DerrickthePinecone]

@ARVINABATT HA! I agree! I can't STAND Lady Gaga. What a phony, plastic artist she is. In fact, she ripped off Dale Bozzio's style. Google her and see what I mean. Comparing her to Pink Floyd would be like comparing Madonna to Led Zeppelin. It just doesn't make sense!

[SpartanElite095]

@ARVINABATT Lady Gaga is actually a pretty good artist. Don't hate her just because all the "cool" people do.

[ARVINABATT]

@SpartanElite095 Never said I hated her. In fact she's a very talented lady, I was laughing at the comparason...I mean, whos thinks of Lady Gaga when their listening to Pink Floyd and vice versa.....

[dmayn1luv]

@ARVINABATT WHO THE FUCKSZ COMPARING LADY GAGA 2 PINK FLOYD THAT FUCKIN WEIRD COCK SUCKER ''HE'' DOESNT HOLD A CANDLE 2 FLOYD MAYN!!!!!!!!!!

[MyGreengoblin1]

gaga swallows anal beads from fabio for breakfest

[britsareit]

Lady ga ga is much more talented than this rubbish!

[MrPowerJr]

@britsareit You must be joking

[CrazyStyxFan]

@britsareit bullshit.

[PrinceForte]

I don't think I would mind being part of an eternal machine.

[xxxscrubsxx]

@PrinceForte It's alright, you're already in it.

[TooBigToHide]

I was told this song was playing when I was born...

[BloodyHeadstump]

@TooBigToHide

That must have been pretty epic for your parents

[joey5605]

this is the song of when i got a computer

[makeitsick21]

ur an idiot magicindi

[AfroPunkprincess]

it's so surreal...hauntingly beautiful...

[godalful]

@AfroPunkprincess very true. it's my favorite floyd song

[BakerBrett69]

the endind with the car speeding up represents an LSD trip coming up, peaking, and the slowing down:p

[UngratefulLiving420]

Danny Devito's the fuckin Lorax? GTFO of here! Lmao... That shit's hilarious to me. Anyways, as he'd say on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, this song's "the tits"!

[crazymafia117]

I wanna go to the dark side of the moon......whos down

[PrinceForte]

@crazymafia117 I'll see you there, but only if the band you're in starts playing different tunes.

[lemonshamilton]

@crazymafia117 You're living in it, bro

You've got to go deep inside yourself to escape it

[joeslavin55]

holy shit im realized that floyd's emblem up there symbolized the circle of life, the triangle is heaven(triangles have 3 sides, which is known for being a divine number), you come out completely pure and weak, but as you follow your path you blossem into a rainbow, then you die and the cycle starts again-no beginning no end.

[yofera50]

@joeslavin55 holy shit man i feel you

[TheLifeOfANewYorker]

@joeslavin55 dudeee i need to have whatever your smoking ! that was to clever to come up with sober

[Spadon7]

@joeslavin55 That'd be cool, if the prism united the colours instead of dividing them. Go studying, trust me. ;)

[Jarbizu800]

@joeslavin55 Google image "Ouroboros" and "Hermetic Seal of Light"

You'll see the true origins of this symbol and the idea you're describing.

[M00seFish]

@joeslavin55 I think it's a bit more bleak than that. It's the prism that divides the light, so the cycle is going clockwise. We don't blossom into a rainbow, but rather start out as a rainbow - untouched and pure. As we grow older, the colours begin to fade as we lose our sense of wonder and become part of "the machine". Death ends our misery and the cycle begins again.

[MenInTrees93]

@M00seFish or it could be the other way around where we all are born into this world the same but we find ourselves and branch out and become different colours of the rainbow, but when we die life comes back full circle. that although each life is different we are all turned by the same wheel... therefore life is cyclical and ultimately our existence is guided by two points, the beginning and the end

[HeadFonez3]

@MenInTrees93 Of course. Very life as we know it is based upon a cycle of rebirth over and over. The cycle will never stop. It will keep going for eternity. We don't need to try to figure out what we will be next, we should find out who we were

[HeadFonez3]

@M00seFish Shit. That's deep. Sounded like it came from the soul.

[HPG45]

@M00seFish Beautifully put.

[PAnDOraXT]

@M00seFish

It's more in a way that, if you look at the tail, we are feeding the machine. Take in everything that you said, but look at the end of the stream; we're creating the light at the end. It's less death ending the cycle, more death is a new beginning.

[DavManCometh]

@joeslavin55 Awseome interpretation, I like it.

[WHlTEDEVlL]

@joeslavin55 cool, so you're basing your belief in heaven from a pink floyd album. pink floyd have died and gone to heaven have they? what reason do you have to believe such concepts. FAITH? hahah, belief in something without evidence. okay.

[joeslavin55]

@WHlTEDEVlL retard, when exactly did i ever express that i had a believe in heaven? learn how to read dumb shit.

[WHlTEDEVlL]

@joeslavin55 the triangle is heaven

[yourmotherslover1056]

@joeslavin55 mind = blown

[alex2410]

@joeslavin55 that was awesome. were you stoned?

[MixedRaceMofo]

@joeslavin55 fuck man you blew my fucking mind 0.0

probably helps im so stoned

[joeslavin55]

@MixedRaceMofo hahahaha i was stoned when i realized that

[kaiuycn]

@joeslavin55 no, its the other way around... white light travels into the prism and comes out in a "rainbow"...

[00NAVUKODONOZOR]

vayanse a la verga con sus pinches comerciales!!

[chelzeaify]

truly one of the purist musical performances ever made. the magic always remains in this song.

[edwardprzydzial]

[mkpitbull420]

I am stuck. How can I get out of the machine?

[bikolee]

You guys are so making excuses for what's gone before!

[bikolee]

HEY We had "Money" as our graduate song in '74.

[alex9033]

Eh... this might be heresy, but... I like Queensrÿche's cover more. Maybe it's the synth. Still a decent song, still a great band.

[darkship32]
