I have become entranced by Amy Shafer and her on-going reaction and analysis videos to Pink Floyd - The Wall.
She is an amazing and insightful listener, interpreter and communicator.
I simply encourage you to watch, admire and enjoy.
I cringe & recoil from those clickbait 1st reaction style videos from people with not much to say.
This isnāt that. This is on a whole other level. She does a reaction video and, uniquely I think, she does a follow up analysis video.
At first glance, the poster frame had me expecting her to say, āOh, he hung up, thatās your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?ā
Oh wow, sheās very meticulous, I couldnāt t agree more on that click bait that magically appear with millions of clicks.
R.
Isnāt she. 
This great Richard, thanks for the heads up. A new perspective and new things to learn!
Interesting clip Richard 
Iām probably easy to impress, but I enjoyed watching some of Dougās PF reaction/analysis videos. Do you know them? He does a funny one smoking a bong and analysing Hocus Pocus by Focus
@brianlarsen
Have you watched more than one video from Amy?
Of the 8 now in that playlist, there are 4 pairs. Each pair is a firstisten then analysis. The analsis is where the gold resides.
I have just watched Dougās first listen and see why you connected and linked it. It is not the 1st listen and reaction that has prompted me to post. In the follow up videos Amy goes further, wider, deeper. She really does talk beyond the music, about life and meaning.
Iāve been following Amy since you first posted this and it has been immensely enjoyable. Not only is she giving me new appreciation for The Wall, but sheās helping me understand the music theory behind why I like it so much.
As a relative newcomer to music theory, most of what I have learned so far is the āwhatā of music theory. Amy does a great job of giving some insight into the āhowā and āwhyā.
And if you like old Genesis, her recent reaction and breakdown of Firth of Fifth is amazing.
Thanks again for sharing this. Her work has been educational and entertaining.

I have literally just finished watching the latest reaction to Empty Spaces. The analysis will be on my watch list once live.
I followed your advice and I too am totally entranced with Amyās take on rock music it is so insightful. I am currently in hospital (nothing serious) and have watched quite a few videos- I think Iām a little addicted and really appreciate how Amy dissects songs in her second videos and the way she plays the harp is beautiful- not my kind of music but I can appreciate her immense talent. Thanks for the heads up - always learning. Only been playing 3 years at 65 through Justin and loving the journey. Wished I had started years ago and could play better- thanks again
Iāve been trying to learn Metallicaās Orion and Iāve been listening to it a lot on YouTube. Lo and behold, several āsuggestionsā were popping up and among them was a āreactionā video on that song by that guy.
So I watched it hoping heād say something insightful.
I have to say he was a massive let down. No insights at all on the structure of the song, just some comments of the sort āoh thatās that chord/scale hm interesting". He spent ages whining about the fade-in fade-out and he totally missed Burtonās solo on the bass, absolutely zero comment on that. Such a waste of time!
So my 1st impression reaction about him, would be that he seems like a failure of a composer. Now, I donāt know him, nor am I interested in googling him. So my reaction is original based on that first and last video that I watched from him 
Iām sure youāre right 
Iām easily impressed by people who know more than me about anything (and thatās a lot of people! 
)
Being able to recognise notes/chords/sequences is something I havenāt come across much, and I enjoyed listening to songs I liked with some additional description. I watched the two I mentioned above and maybe another Radiohead one.
Like you, I know nothing about the guy, and have not yet been bored enough to google eitherā¦ 
Haha I loved your reply.
You see, no one expects anything from me music-wise because my claim is āIām a bad beginner player trying to learn how to play the guitarā.
On the other hand his claim is that he is a composer. That raises the bar considerably Iād say.
I have a colleague with whom I liftshare and he plays the guitar for ages, heās into jazz, Django stuff etc so we often listen to jazz and blues and he picks up chords and progressions easily without knowing music theory per se. Thatās impressive to me.
From a composer though, thatās the absolute minimum Iād expect.
Iāll try to watch all the videos in this thread though and maybe come back with another opinion
Oh how I hate reaction videos.
Hate is a strong word- unless youāre being forced to watch them for some reason.
The web is full of stuff I have no interest in, and some content indeed worthy of āhateā
