Welcome To The Machine

Pink Floyd is music for the soul

What did you dream, it's alright we told you what to dream! CHILLS

This whole album is a timeless work of art 🔥

I think each one of us relates songs (either musically or lyrically) in regard to the phase we are going through in each moment of our life. It's amazing how a song can evolve inside you while you grow up. For instance, this song, when I discovered Floyd around the age of 12 , I used to listen to it and think of my problems back then, which were related with my age, teenage, bullying at school, loneliness, a serious health problem of my mother. Later at the age of 18, 19, 20, trying to make it as a musician , I listened to it and thought of this machine I'm trying to get into, a machine that is not welcoming me at all, making me question if I can actually survive thanks to music and still be who I want to be. Nowadays, at the age of 27, having left behind the dreams of being a full time musician, and only playing with the band at local bars for an extra income and of course playing for pleasure , having a full time job, 6 days out of 7, more than 10 hours a day , a job that does nt always pay back since it's my own thing and with the good stuff that comes with not having a boss, comes also the bad stuff, I listen to that song and realize I may have been consumed entirely by the machine, just waiting for it to spit out whats left of me... I wonder what'll be the next thought i'll have listening to this over the next years... Nevertheless , what a great piece for any thought and any time in life :)

When I listen to Pink Floyd I feel free

EASILY one of Pink Floyd's most underrated songs...

Played this to my son when he was 2 weeks old. He's 46 now and I think he still loves me :)

The contrast between the hyper electronic synth sound and the analog 12 strings guitar is so great here.

Listening to any song by Pink Floyd reminds me of when my Dad was working in his work shop, he'd always have one station on that would play a lot of Pink Floyd. I would sing along as I'm doing chores, he would be singing along, too, I miss him so much since he passed away.

One of my favorite songs by Pink Floyd

It's crazy that this masterpiece is forty-five years old. It's immortal. I was born in '93 and I love this from my teenage years.

I am 32 years old and I fking love this song and Pink Floyd. Thanks to my Mom who introduced me many many years ago.

5:09 there's something magical about how that synth is mixed

“It’s alright, we told you what to dream” Haunting line. 😴 👻

This is a song that deserves to be played at max volume every day of the year.

Possibly one of their best albums ever. Rest In Peace Syd Barret

Welcome to the machine. * Presses elevator button repeatedly. It's broken. Rage against the machine.

So political. Absolutely correct. We are taught to follow without question from a very young age. Welcome to the machine

all time favorite band

This is the greatest band that has ever existed.
