DARK AND EUPHORIC?! Pink Floyd - Dogs & Pigs on the Wing Pt. 1 (Animals Side 1 Reaction)

追加: 2026-06-06

[00:00:00]Hey everyone, we're back with another reaction video and finally it's the moment we're all waiting for. We have the Animals album by Pink Floyd. I can't wait for it.

[00:00:08]>> Yeah, me too. Now, I know you guys are waiting for this album reaction. But before we start, I want to say that wish you were here really cemented my love for Pink Floyd. But some of you said that animals will actually test my love for Pink Floyd. And we're going to put it to the test right now.

[00:00:25]>> Are we?

[00:00:26]>> No, I'm kidding. actually echoes. As long as they have echoes, my love will never be shaken.

[00:00:34]>> Yeah.

[00:00:34]>> Um but yeah, I'm really excited to listen to animals.

[00:00:38]>> Nothing will change our love to Pink Floyd now, I think. Yeah.

[00:00:41]>> Anyway, I've read George Orwell's book, Animal Farm, to prepare for this. And it really got my blood boiling. So, I think no, I'm sure that this music will do exactly this >> and yeah, if not more because Floyd. So yeah, >> Pigs on the Wing track number one. A short one, but who knows what will happen.

[00:01:06]Here we go.

[00:01:24]If you didn't care what happened to me, who thinking, Rocher?

[00:01:39]And I didn't care.

[00:01:47]for you.

[00:01:54]We would zigzag our way through the bottom of pain, occasionally glancing up through the rain.

[00:02:08]Wow.

[00:02:11]wondering which of the bug is to blame and watching for pigs on the wing.

[00:02:29]Pigs on the wing.

[00:02:32]>> Okay, cute little opener.

[00:02:36]I'd like to see how the album will plunge into the nightmare dystopian darkness.

[00:02:42]>> Yeah, it's a quality, man.

[00:02:45]>> Wow. It made me think >> I was ready for darkness, but it started with something really nice.

[00:02:51]>> But could it be the calm before the >> calm before the storm? Yeah, I think because from the titles uh dogs, pigs and sheep >> and because I read the book, I know what they are we will be talking about. So uh >> yeah, even lyrically now, even though they are short, it made me realize a lot of things, but uh I think I'm going to leave them to the next track.

[00:03:15]Uh yeah, here >> it felt like a love song.

[00:03:18]>> What really caught my I know there are like six lines, but we would zigzag our way through the boredom and pain, occasionally glancing up through the rain. Oh my god, man. How deep is this in really simple words? I mean without love, without purpose in our life, we would be going to work, coming back from work with dream boredom and pain, numbing at the pub every now and now now and then only looking up >> wondering which of the buggers >> not feeling alive mainly >> and watching for pigs on the wing.

[00:03:51]>> Yeah.

[00:03:53]>> Watching maybe like paying attention to the people who put us here, who put us in this situation.

[00:03:58]That's how I interpreted it. the monotony of every day.

[00:04:02]>> Exactly.

[00:04:03]>> Okay. I have a theory because we have part two at the end. So, I think maybe they will be connected and we're going to witness the nightmare, the darkness >> in between.

[00:04:15]>> Yeah. The condiments between the upper and lower layers.

[00:04:18]>> We're going to be sandwiched between those two nice songs.

[00:04:22]>> Okay.

[00:04:23]>> All right. We're moving on to dogs track number two with Pink Floyd's Animals album. This one, I can't wait for it.

[00:04:29]Yeah, me too.

[00:04:30]>> Yeah, especially >> it's the masterpiece of the album actually.

[00:04:33]>> But before we start, I want to comment on the artwork for animals. Okay, I was staring at it the other day and I was trying to analyze it and it's actually really brilliant. So this dark massive building, okay, is a power plant in London. As you can see here, we have four white chimneys uh that rise into this gloomy smoke fil sky. But if you turn the picture upside down, it will look like a table with four legs. I don't know. I think Okay.

[00:05:01]And you can see here there's a pig floating is out of reach. Uh >> actually, you made me realize one thing in the first track. He said, "We occasionally look up to see the pigs in the sky." And actually, it's here. I didn't even realize.

[00:05:15]>> It's really chilling when you maybe perhaps it's the right meaning, but the building is so dark. It's like the pig is watching over his territory like he created this and this is the slaughter house. We are the people doing the hard work, >> the lab hard labor and >> they are above.

[00:05:34]>> Yeah. Above all of this, we are dying for them. We are making profit for them.

[00:05:38]We are working for them.

[00:05:40]>> Okay.

[00:05:40]>> So >> I got that.

[00:05:41]>> We spoke too much.

[00:05:42]>> Yeah.

[00:05:44]>> All right. Moving on to >> dogs.

[00:06:26]You got to be crazy.

[00:06:31]You got to have a real need.

[00:06:35]Got to sleep on your toes. And when you're on the street, you got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.

[00:06:49]Then moving silently downwind and out of sight. You got to strike when the moment is right. without thinking.

[00:07:03]And after a while, you can work on points for style.

[00:07:12]Like a club tie, and a firm handshake, sudden look in the eye, an easy smile.

[00:07:21]You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to.

[00:07:29]So that when they turn their backs on you, you get the chance to put the knife in.

[00:08:13]You got to keep running looking over your shoulder.

[00:08:21]You know it's going to get harder and harder harder as you get older.

[00:08:30]Yeah. In the end you pack up fly down south hide your head.

[00:08:40]Just another sad old man. Wow. All alone and dying of cancer.

[00:08:49]Oh, heat, heat.

[00:09:14]Heat.

[00:09:28]Heat.

[00:09:38]Hey, heat. Hey.

[00:12:08]Heat.

[00:12:35]And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have shown.

[00:12:54]And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to snow.

[00:13:19]And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around.

[00:13:31]So have a good drown as you go down all along.

[00:13:43]Drag down by the snow.

[00:13:58]Oh, hello.

[00:14:10]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[00:17:20]Heat. Heat.

[00:18:04]Got to admit that I'm a little bit confused.

[00:18:13]Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.

[00:18:22]>> Got to stay away. Got to try and shake off this creeping blaze.

[00:18:30]If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?

[00:18:40]Damn blind.

[00:18:44]You just keep on pretending that everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend.

[00:18:57]It seems to you the thing to do would be rejoice the winner.

[00:19:06]Everything turn the joy at heart. Everyone's a Heat. Heat.

[00:20:02]That's right.

[00:20:24]Heat. Heat.

[00:20:31]Heat. Heat.

[00:21:07]Who was born in a house full of pain?

[00:21:15]Who was train not to spit in the fan?

[00:21:22]Who was told what to do by the man who was broken by train personnel?

[00:21:36]Who was with color and chain?

[00:21:44]It was a pass on the back.

[00:21:51]It was making it straight.

[00:22:09]Yeah.

[00:22:11]Heat.

[00:22:22]Oh my soul down by the sun.

[00:22:58]Yeah.

[00:22:58]>> Look at what I did my hand.

[00:23:01]>> What did you do to it?

[00:23:03]You put your nails in.

[00:23:08]>> This song made me angry.

[00:23:10]>> My >> I predicted this uh because the book actually made my m my blood boil and >> Yeah. Who were the >> song?

[00:23:20]>> Who were the dogs in the book?

[00:23:23]>> They were uh the ruthless enforcers because you have the pigs who were the rulers who actually initiated the uh revolution against humans in the farm and then they hired the dogs to be uh the ones who protect them and then >> because they have the character of the loyal maybe.

[00:23:44]>> Yeah. They used to terrify the other animals to maintain control and also protect the pigs through force.

[00:23:50]>> And then you have the pigs and the sheep.

[00:23:54]>> So the dogs are uh the enforcers in animal farm.

[00:23:59]>> This is a poem >> but in animals of Pink Floyd. Okay. I think they are u the corporate >> Yeah.

[00:24:11]>> Uh ladder climbers.

[00:24:13]Um, >> you want my opinion?

[00:24:15]>> The aggressive businessmen, the bankers, um, the police, >> they were the people, in my opinion, they were the people who were fooled the most and then they wake up late.

[00:24:30]>> Okay, >> it's like a character more than a position, if you know what I mean.

[00:24:35]>> It's like the character of that, yeah, I I don't trust you, but I I have no friends, right? I can't wait. I have to look over my shoulder to not be stabbed in the back. But I'm waiting for you to turn your back so I can stab you in the back. It's like we're taught these people the dog the dog's character are the people who got taught how to actually behave exactly like the character that we want to or like they are convinced that they have to walk away from. You know they are becoming who they hate in a way. You know they are becoming the people who can't trust anyone who just work and then they feel dragged down. They can't do anything about it. They wake up late. They realized late if they actually >> But you have the sheep also.

[00:25:22]>> They are part of the classes >> the groups.

[00:25:26]>> Okay.

[00:25:27]>> So we have the pigs, the dogs and the sheep.

[00:25:29]>> Oh yeah. So that's why I'm saying the pigs are the political eliot >> and the dogs are the middle in between.

[00:25:37]I felt like this song really portrayed this predatory dog eat dog nature of a human society. Okay, because the pigs and then the dogs are not sheep. They are more uh intelligent >> but they are also >> backstabbing. They also uh try to u take advantage of everything. They are power hungry. Okay. And >> okay, this is too much to unpack. I have to organize my thoughts >> because I have a lot of things to say musically and lyrically. This is my topic and actually if you can feel my blood is boiling because >> because even in the >> this is so dystopian and I have this utopia in my head but I'm very aware of this darkness that's really happening in the world. Um I took some notes here but you can start if you want.

[00:26:34]>> No actually in my opinion >> from what I've read and the lyrics you know It's really hard to get your head around it. But from what I felt, I felt like he is talking about a section of the people where >> of humans >> some Yeah. a character of >> a group of humans.

[00:26:56]>> A group of humans man. I mean here you get a color and I I >> Okay. Wait. Do we do we agree that they are speaking about >> the businessmen, the ruthless uh people who really try to enforce the law? Yeah.

[00:27:12]>> And to protect the pigs and to control the sheep.

[00:27:16]>> Okay.

[00:27:17]>> So there are Yeah. Especially at the end because he talked about the collar and the chain >> uh who was fitted with a collar and chain. Okay. So the collar because and the chain and Okay. I want to mention one thing. I wrote it here. He talked about the stone.

[00:27:34]>> Okay. Because >> who was dragged down by the stone? So the idea of the stone is really important here because you are talking about this group of people. Okay, you have to be a monster in order to climb at the top of the cutthroat system and the whole time they take advantage of you. But the second you you outlive your usefulness in this system, they will discard you and leave you to die. Because he talked about >> you're going to grow old and you're going to >> die of cancer. die of cancer. So once you're not useful anymore, they will discard you. This very system that you work hard to be a part of, which is really a dog eat dog world, it's very tough and ruthless. But the second >> it will get rid of you.

[00:28:25]>> You grow old, you cannot perform the >> you no longer serve this system, they will get rid of you.

[00:28:32]>> Yeah. So you live all your all all your life trying to win in life as you might imagine it. And when you actually wake up from it, you realize that your life ended and you're used up. You're tired and you're trapped. You're trapped by the invisible chain and stone that actually are drowning you in your in your end, you know, and >> and uh yeah, you realize that you are part of the pyramid and part of the thought you thought you were actually battling, you know, you thought you are actually protecting people from the thought of what you what you become became.

[00:29:13]>> Um okay, >> they are deep.

[00:29:15]>> I want to mention one thing. Yes, I want to mention one thing about the music.

[00:29:19]Okay. I felt like this instrument uh instrumental solo here uh dogs barking and howling. Did you feel like it was I don't know how they did it. Okay. But I at minute six or maybe 10.

[00:29:41]>> Yeah, there was another song.

[00:29:48]You can hear in the solo the sound of dogs, right?

[00:29:53]>> Yeah.

[00:29:54]>> That are synthesized or processed sound.

[00:30:01]So I felt like this section is showing us that to survive in this dog eat dog world, the dog, the group of people which we talked about >> had to completely mechanize its soul to uh to be to be able and kill its own humanity.

[00:30:24]That's what this section felt for me.

[00:30:26]Okay. To become a perfect predator. So, and there were there was one section where the dogs were really fighting each other. I think the first one at minute six.

[00:30:39]>> Yeah.

[00:30:39]>> Uh >> yeah, it happened twice actually.

[00:30:40]>> No, this is the stone reference. Okay.

[00:30:43]We had a lot of solos and apart from the lyrics, we had the music which really complemented the feel of this aggressive world. Yeah, >> it's a lot to unpack.

[00:30:58]>> I know.

[00:30:59]>> But >> can I can I say one more thing?

[00:31:02]>> Yes, of course.

[00:31:02]>> Yeah. In minute eight, I think I still have one note >> when he started repeating stone stone and then it it went to a like really deep >> echoy >> echoey. It kept getting faster and faster till the beat really became like paranoid. You know, you feel paranoid.

[00:31:20]Yeah, I said paranoid during it because that's how I felt. Apart from that the guitar work David everyone >> okay I want to mention one thing about the stone because it's really very important apart from everything they talked about the stone is a very brilliant concept in this song because okay I wrote down a note here uh he said he's going to die old and fat he's going to die of cancer so the system will get rid of you when you are no longer useful >> and I had a question is the stone that drags the dog down the system itself or is it the crushing weight of his wasted humanity >> at the end? Did he realize that he has sold his soul to become to have everything and then lose everything at the end >> or is it the system because they discarded him?

[00:32:19]>> I actually thought of it of a related question. I'm so angry.

[00:32:24]>> I thought of a very good question. I was thinking that this dog character, >> was it >> the dog charact character like that by nature or did the society actually turned it turned that character into a into how what it is or how it is.

[00:32:41]>> You know, >> I think humans naturally have this tendency to take advantage whenever the possib the opportunity is presented to them. Mhm.

[00:32:53]But there are sheep and there are other characters.

[00:32:55]>> The sheep are helpless. Okay. But then you have the dog who are much more intelligent >> who are willing to take advantage and backstab their other >> their brothers. So in this rat race, >> what a track, >> the dog will realize he's still a rat at the end that he's not going to win. He's still a rat in the rat race. So >> Okay. Yeah.

[00:33:20]Makes sense. Yeah.

[00:33:21]>> Yeah. I don't know if we made any sense, but >> yeah, we're trying. We're trying.

[00:33:28]>> I'm angry.

[00:33:29]>> Pink Floyd, especially with tracks that long, that packed, >> you can't help. You can't help but uh Okay, man. We are warped. But uh >> you are right about this album.

[00:33:44]>> Okay, we have >> we have pigs, man. We haven't even we're not even warming up. We we completed the whole side one.

[00:33:51]>> Oh yeah, it's a long one. Okay. Okay.

[00:33:54]Then side two, we have pigs and then we have sheep and then we'll end we'll end >> I have a lot of thoughts but those were uh >> Yeah, we tried. We tried our best.

[00:34:05]>> Okay, >> I have one brain style functioning. So, it's good.

[00:34:08]>> Now it's half a brain brain cell functioning. It destroyed. Okay, let's keep the other half for the for the remaining three tracks. Uh we have pigs next. Stay tuned for it.
