This is how this album, "Dark Side of the Moon", ends. The heartbeat you hear during the fade-out is also how the album begins. Thus, demonstrating an endless cycle; the human condition replayed in every generation. This album is brilliantly profound.
Pink Floyd mastered the ability to tell the human experience with soul rending accuracy.
Without the Echoes,this masterpiece might've not existed.Album sounds like God produced it.And 20 years after 1st time I've heard it,I'm still in awe🙏🎵🌘🌑😊😎
Thats an interesting thing about the wall too, Im not sure about the tune playing throughout the entirety of the album, but the tune that plays at the start of "In the flesh?" also plays at the end of "Outside the wall"
@@andy_apparently And Outside The Wall ends with "Isn't this where" and In The Flesh? Starts with "we came in"
Probably the greatest concept album ever.
I'm glad these two listen with headphones.
"Dark side of the Moon" was on the Billboard charts for 14 years straight without falling off. A World record that still stands today!
752 weeks - will not happen again
I think its in the Guiness book along with Michael Jackson.
It's the 2nd biggest selling album of all time just behind Michael Jackson's thriller.
A tip of the cap to ya laddy 1985 I discovered this album
I wrote a speech on Dark Side, in college speech class, and I got like a C or a D bc the teacher said I should have written about “The Wall”, bc it’s theatrics made it a more notable album to him. I was like, “ok, but there were no rules about speech content, so why am I getting a bad grade?” He didn’t have an answer, besides “the walls” better. Fucking asshole. I hated him. So did everyone else in the class.
Probably the greatest album ever recorded. Love this entire album.
It is the ultimate rock album of all time according to Billboard
Except for THE WALL
@@corywestfahl1691 no, Mark got it right! Still in the top 100 in album sales. No other album has done that!
It's in the discussion. I have it around 15th.
@@scottfrench4139 What's the number on your list?
Pink Floyd's use of the term "dark side of the moon" is very simply meant to be a metaphor for insanity. They were very deeply affected by the (at times) profound mental illness on their bandmate (Syd Barrett) and wrote/dedicated much of their most heralded material to him. Most of this album and Wish You Were Here were a tribute to him and reflected their sense of loss of him not being there with them. The song Shine On You Crazy Diamond is, IMO, their best track and is an example of their love for their missing brother.
I agree with you and made a similar post not long ago and got into a 3 day argument with some fact checking troll. It’s sad people can’t let things be.
Spot on.
Amen Ben.
I disagree. It's certainly half the story, but if you're citing sanity as any demonstration that there is a loss of it, then the closing line needs to be heeded. "There is no dark side of the moon really... As a matter of fact it's all dark!"
Syd was more sane than them, just too sane.
You REALLY need to listen to the whole album.
For me it's like someone is looking from the normal side (lit side of the moon) at another person who lost himself mentally (the dark side of the moon) but in the end we're all on the dark side sometimes in our life.
Astronomically speaking, the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth meaning one face is always towards Earth, we never see the back side of the Moon from Earth, and this is really what the "Dark side of the Moon" is referring to when said where "Dark" refers to the unknown (think of old references to "Darkest Africa" which basically meant it was unexplored). We did not know the nature of the back side of the Moon until it was orbited by Satellites in the 1960s. The Lunar cycle is about 30 Earth Days long (this is 1 Lunar day) and any point of the Moon will have a sunrise and sunset in a Lunar cycle (except perhaps at extreme poles seasonally just like here on Earth) so there is no "Dark" side. Metaphorically I think the narrator is telling us we are all a little crazy and all a little sane.
This album is about the original singer of pink Floyd ,. Read his story
I always thought there was a fear of flying and coming to terms with it that influences this album
You have to do this with many PF albums, especially this one, The Wall, Animals, Wish you were here.
Listening to individual songs from this album is like reading random chapters in a book
Truer words were never spoken...
Very well put.
Yes you're right , all about the original singer
Well said. I am steeling this and using this from now on when talking to people about listening to Pink Floyd. Thank you.
Best comment I've read for years, I'm stealing it too.
One of the greatest albums ever, best listened to in full, on headphones, laying in the dark start to finish...stunning
Throw in some weed and or shrooms and you are going to take a journey my friend 😃
@@willblood7082 this is exactly how my Dad advised me to experience it when I was just outta high school in the 80s. He said it would be the only time he recommended that his daughter get high, but it just wasn't the same if I didn't. Of course I'd heard most of the songs many times, but it was definitely the most surreal 45 minutes I had ever experienced (at that time anyway!) ✌
a little LSD never hurts either if you want the full effect
@@thunderous784 I'm sure it's a trip!😂
I've always been afraid to try that. My ex-husband's description of a night that ended with calling a random preacher from the phone book and begging him to come over at 4 am to make the demons shut up, kinda made me a little leary. ✌❤
@@thunderous784 Pink Floyds Meddle on a pile of tabs was quite an experience.
The last line was provided by Gerry O'Driscoll, a doorman at Abbey Road studios where the album was recorded. He said it in response to the question “What is the ‘dark side of the moon’?”
His full answer was “There is no dark side of the moon really, matter of fact it’s all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun.”
Perfect! And Lex got it!!!
He died this year I think.
I never heard this. Thank you.
_"excuse me mate, what's the time?"_
*"There is no time really, matter of fact it's all now."*
"Sorry, this is our Doorman, Gerry O'Driscoll-"
*"There is no Gerry O'Driscoll really, matter of fact we're all Gerry O'Driscoll".*
"..."
"Gerry you're fired."
@@shawnk7832
Lex ALWAYS gets it!!
Oh dear, Brad ! Such a literalist ! Is there no poetry in your soul ?
Well, the man keeps saying it himself in almost every reaction, " I don't know!", "I have no clue!", "I have nothing!" Real sorry, but thank heavens Lex has enough fun, intelligence, soul and spirit for both of them.
ye hes pretty basic minded
The blokes a dope - The girl leaves him standing!
@@garyshannon4798 shes very intelligent
The whole album is about one of the band members, Syd Barrett, descending into insanity from schizophrenia. The line from Brain Damage "and when the band You're in starts playing different tunes" actually happened on stage, as Syd was hearing different songs in his head than what the band was performing. Pink Floyd had two albums that were specifically about Syd's descent into madness, Dark Side of the Moon, about the vagaries of life leading to madness, and Wish You Were Here, a lament for the lost band member, which accuses the music industry of driving them all to madness.
So true. Been a Floydian since the very early 70's. I find it amazing how so many people will say they love Pink Floyd but have no idea what the music is about. It's so much more than the music.
Listen and learn.
No band can compare to Pink Floyd.
To get the full effect of what this song and album really mean, try the entire Dark Side of the Moon album sometime, it will make more sense and you get the flow that way. For a stand alone Floyd song, try Echoes, both the original studio and the 2 part videos Live in the ruins of Pompeii, it was 2 parts because it opened and closed the film about that event. Floyd is a long journey to be savored every step of the way, just relax, vibe and go with the flow and they will take you to places you did not know existed! Enjoy. 🎵
I saw that at a local drive in bitd. It was the 2nd warmup for a feature I forget.

This isn't music, it's art.
? Music is art
it's art, yo*
I was 12yrs old when this album came out and grabbed me; Pink Floyd has taken me on many a wondrous journey since. Incredible band that is unmatched.
I was 13. We have been fortunate I think ✨
I had it on 8-track lol.
I was 10 in 1975 and that is the year this came out ..I am pretty sure... but it was so great then and if possible it is even more poignant today great album Pink Floyd sold over 250 million albums not sure if any other band can beat that

@@postava6150 lots of great music to chill too ...lol
This is an album that you have to hear from start to finish in one sitting.
The dark side of the moon is the side we don't see. The moon doesn't revolve like the earth and other planets do. It's a metaphor. This song is about Sid Barrett their original leader and lead guitarist. He dropped too much acid and got lost in his head. Ended up in a mental institution for a while. The line "and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes..." is reference to an incident where Sid was trying to teach them a song he was working on and they would join in and he'd say no that isn't it and then start playing something else... the band wasn't messing up HE was... This song, and Shine on you Crazy Diamond are both in reference to Sid Barrett.
the moon revolves around the earth, which in turn revolves around the sun. the earth rotates once per day. the moon also rotates, tho much slower, but in such a way that we can see only one side. I think 28 days is the rotation period.
Strictly the dark side is just the side opposite the sun, it's why we see the moon in phases. But it shines by reflection, it doesn't give off its own light, hence the line in the fade out "there is no dark side of the moon really, as a matter of fact it's all dark."
@@jimcarlson6157 Yes the moon revolves around the earth but the face of the moon faces the earth so the back side is referred to as the "dark side". Sorry if I wasn't clearer. Our moon is unique in our solar system. :)
@@jimcarlson6157 the moon revolves around the earth in around 28 of our days.
However it is tidally locked to Earth, which means that the length of a full rotation of the Moon on its own axis causes its same side (the near side) to always face Earth, and the somewhat longer lunar day is the same as the synodic period. That said, 59% of the total lunar surface can be seen from Earth through shifts in perspective due to libration.
Simply put, yes the moon rotates on its axis. But moon's rate of rotation nearly matches its orbital period, which keep the same side facing Earth. Hence we are always looking at the same side.
Just to add to this, where Shine On You Crazy Diamond and the line in this song: 'when the band you're in starts playing different tunes' is specifically about Syd; the rest of this song also references a multitude of lunatics, including politicians who's photographs would appear folded on the front pages newspapers being delivered and the more general loonies in mental decline. where there is even a reference to frontal lobotomies which was a common practice during the mid 20th century for severe mental illness cases (see One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest).
My favorite song by Pink Floyd. Always gives me chills.
This album made a huge impression on millions and millions of young people during the decade of the 70s.
And beyond
It shaped my life. "You missed the starting gun" resonated with me and when my gun went off I started life. It was at age 19.

The album is an endless loop. The heartbeat at the end of this song (the last track on the album) ties into the heartbeat at the beginning of the first song on the album. Listening to the entire album in order is like turning pages in a book.
Yeah, but we still had to flip the LP halfway. It's like a two-movement symphony.
I would compare it to a Moebius strip... A book had a beginning, middle and end... it progresses to a conclusion, and even if there are sequels or more chapters added later, it is still a linear progression... this album is more like a Moebius strip in that you listen to it as one continuous movement that flops back and forth between the inside and the outside, meanwhile your own perspective stays the same... you are travelling a straight and continuous path while the world flips back and forth around you... the choice is in whether you recognize those changes or not. We are traveling through the "Dark Side" right now... the unrest and craziness follows a cyclic nature of about forty years or so, roughly the same as the generational translation...
@@floorticket - The times I let side one play again because I was too 'chilled' to sit up, flip the record and re-position the speakers next to my head... I bought my first CD player (and my first headphones) especially for DSOTM.
It also syncs with Wizard of Oz
This is the last song of the best concept album of all time. It's a culmination of the whole album and doesn't work as well as stand alone songs. Try the whole album and see if you like it better in context. Thanks for the great comments as always.
Another good choice, as I am a lifelong Pink Floyd fan. And in fact, I was born the year this album came out. Also, it is the sixth best selling album of all time!
"And if the band you're in stars playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon." An ode to friend and ex-bandmate Syd Barrett.
In fact, as you may know, that line described exactly the moments when Syd started to losing it on stage, he would stop playing guitar and stand staring at the audience doing nothing... poor Syd, a lost soul always remembered dearly.
For me his story is very touching, one of my friends had a psychotic breakdown years ago and I thought I'd lost him. It was scary and moving being with him, nullified as a person by pills and all that stuff. Fortunately he recovered. Mental illness is terrible
Lusifer Sam pink Floyd reaction
Arguably the greatest album ever. It has spent more weeks in Billboards top 200 than any other album in history, by a wide margin. You really should listen to all of PF "middle era" albums in their entirety to appreciate the meaning and the music.
The greatest Rock album of all time, it was in Billboards Top selling albums list for an unprecedented 958 weeks, and over 50 million, (and counting), albums sold!
You guys are discussing the meaning of this song in the wrong context, the whole album is the story, not one song. Virtually all Pink Floyd albums are concept albums telling a story, the "Dark Side Of The Moon" album is about life and death, with a side nod to Syd Barrett in "Brain Damage"
The very beginning of the album, and the very end, showcase a slowed down heartbeat. You guys have done other "Dark Side Of The Moon" album songs, likw "Us And Them" which is about war, and "Time", which is about how time flies by in our lives. Also "Great Gig In The Sky" which is about "death" and "horror".
I put quotation marks with death and horror because those are the exact words PF told Clair Torry to think about, for a while, before she did the wordless vocals she sings and screams in Great Gig.
The song "Brain Damage" is the Syd Barrett reference, if you know Barretts story it is clear. Syd Barrett was one of the founding members of PF in 1964, but he was forced to leave the band by 1967 because of massive LSD use and mental health issues. His good friend David Gilmour took over as lead singer and guitarist of PF.
There's a direct reference to Barrett in one of the lyrics in Brain Damage, the verse goes,..
......."And If The Band You're In Starts Playing Different Tunes"
Syd Barrett, near the end, was so out of it, so unhinged from reality,... that when the band would be rehearsing, and even at a show or two, Syd would go off and begin to play a different song than the song the other three band members were playing!!
Hey Guys, An enduring myth about the Moon is that it doesn't rotate. While it's true that the Moon keeps the same face to us, this only happens because the Moon rotates at the same rate as its orbital motion, a special case of tidal locking called synchronous rotation.
A good clue to help understand this album is that it's main theme revolves around: “WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY”.
(BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy.
(ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy.
(TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy.
(THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the thought of the inevitable end (death), can drive people crazy.
(MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy.
(US AND THEM); If the differences in class of people or the power grant to them can drive people crazy.
(ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy.
(BRAIN DAMAGE); If the many rules of life (keep off the grass) and all the previous points can drive people crazy.
(ECLIPSE); Since our influence in this world comes down to what is within our reach,
then even though the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the darkness of the moon.
But anyway, (I'll see you on the dark side of the moon).
Very well said.
Best comment I've read in a while
In this episode of Brad & Lex, Brad eases into his "signature side to side sway" after Lex catches him off guard with her "pizza earth" comment. The tune continues as they share a smirk in unison further allowing the mood of the masterpiece to manipulate their minds. Brad never loses energy with his "side to side sway" while Lex produces a "snake sway bop" before an intense discussion on astronomy.
Love your summaries, but that last sentence was a run on. Keep it up though, I enjoy reading them.
@@kaptinkronic8411 Thank you Kaptin. I made corrections
So, they don’t have a clue. Entertaining though. 😂
This needs to be on IMDB
I want to see Brad react to a song with this guy .......th-cam.com/video/ekQnSi86WYk/w-d-xo.html
The greatest album ever recorded. On the album charts for 958 weeks. That’s over 18 years!
If you can talk Brad into it you should watch some of their lives stuff from pulse theater
This came out a half a century ago. And it's still so relevant. This is Roger Waters' masterpiece. This album is one of the best selling LP's of all time selling over 50 MILLION copies. The album itself STILL goes platinum every year as new fans find it and old fans replace old records and CD's. Meant, by Waters, to be a one long 42 minute suite, it had to be broken up into songs so the band could be paid for an "album" & not a single. This album was on the Billboard Hot 100 for 987 weeks (That's 19 YEARS on the charts, JUST INSANE). It was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". It literally is a PERFECT album. #1 of all time in my opinion. The lengths they went to, to pull this off in 1973, with no computers and just analog tape, is just astounding!!
Dark side of the moon, best album ever.
You’ve got to react to Pink Floyd Pulse.. it’s a different experience watching them perform live..
Hi B&L Another great choice, To think they wrote such profound lyrics about Universal themes & the human condition Dave Gilmour was 27, Roger, Nick & Richard 29/30 Mindblowing in itself Pink Floyd & The Beatles music & influence will last forever in my humble opinion, All the best Jim, Surrey, England X
Sid Barrett couldn't live sober. The lunatic on the grass is Sid. A true poet, a true visionary, it's a shame he wasn't those without drugs.
Song is loosley referencing their friend and founding member, who went crazy and left the band because of mental health issues.
Pink Floyd is master piece of reflection and pure vibes
Pink Floyd - My favorite band 👍🏻/ Brad - In the closet lunatic 😂/ Lex - Crazy Sexy Cool 😘/ Love you guys! ✌🏻
The Moon is gravitationally locked and revolves on its axis in exactly the same amount of time (a lunar day) that it takes to complete one orbit of the Earth (a lunar month, about 29.5 Earth days). The upshot of this is that the same surface of the moon is always pointed toward the Earth. What we call the dark side is the other side that cannot be seen from the Earth and that is always pointed away from us.
However, the Moon, in and of itself, does not produce any light, it merely reflects the light of the Sun. Therefore, if you could remove the Sun from the equation, the whole of the Moon would be dark. Hence the final statement on the album.
Dark Side of the Moon hit the Billboard Top 200 Album charts at #95 in March of 1973. It only hit #1 for a week, but remained in the top 200 for 736 consecutive weeks, until July of 1988. It has been back, and holds both the consecutive week record, and the overall record at well over 900. I agree about listening to the whole album start to finish. Many of the songs blend into the next. And then there's the Wizard of Oz connection...
It remarkable how well the song goes with the this movie. They say that it was not intentional but just a huge coincidence.
Great reaction! This album-like most of their albums-are concept albums, meaning each song blends into the next to tell a larger story.
This album is widely considered to be the best ever recorded. To understand the full meaning and experience, you have to listen to it, beginning to end, in one sitting. It is truly an amazing experience.
Great reactions!!
The song is about mental illness. ("Every day the paper boy brings more" refers to photos of politicians in the newspapers). The subsequent album "Wish You Were Here" is about band co-founder Syd Barrett leaving the band due his descent into madness.
Finally found some one who mentions the original singer of pink Floyd , and getting it right ,,.
phenomenal track. have loved this lp for a very long time.
The lyrics PF comes up with are the deep, profound, and have somewhat hidden messages. I loved this song ever since I first heard it.
Im honestly surprised you guys didn't hear this one sooner regardless you're genuine with your reactions. Lex feels the music while Brad analyses the lyrics good combination.
You guys should do a Dark Side of the Moon listen/Live Stream. Full album...
"and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon" SYD ❤
If you lived in the suburbs north of Chicago you realized that the best way to listen to this album was stoned, laying on the floor in the dark, wearing headphones,
This is the last song on the album. It ends with the heart beat. If you listen to the entire album, it starts out with a heart beat as well. Birth to death... Best album ever!
Good Lord would you guys do some research instead of just trying to guess what you're not going to be able to! :) Seriously, you need to start finishing your videos by checking to see if your analysis is correct. Better then leaving us hanging with your completely incorrect assessments and then moving onto the next song without learning anything. LOL
One of the greatest albums ever! Proof of that is, the album stayed on the charts for FOURTEEN YEARS!
Lex is absolutely correct! You are so smart girl! Great analysis...take notes Brad...lol
Pls react to shine on you crazy Diamond next, it’s Pink Floyd’s best song. Has some of Gilmours best guitar and has some of the best instrumental I ever heard. It’s also the song that got me to love Pink Floyd
Or you can do on the turning away live Delicate sound of thunder or comfortably numb live pulse, both represent how good David plays guitar
I love how Brad is so literal.
..like Drax
In college, when this first came out, I recall sitting, with around 6 or so friends in someone’s darkened room, candles lit, more stoned than ever before, being quite unnerved, yet so in awe of this track.
I came of age in the mid 70s. It was a great time listening to artists play their art. Acid was a beautiful addition. My buddy danced to Zappa. Zappa is not dance music. Acid made it dance music for Cisco.
Among the most poetic verse of life and death put to music. It’s Beautiful.
The album never truly ends at it concludes the same way it begins
Brad, Brad, Brad...the moon is basically just a GIGANTIC rock kin outer space, it is big enough to catch the suns light and reflect it back in the nighttime sky...and eclipses are not a daily thing.....Lex, once more reels him back to earth...God dam I love this channel :)
Brad is descended from Hymie the robot from 1960’s GET SMART.
It would be interesting if you two would do a straight listen through the whole album, uninterrupted on your down time. And then do a stand alone video sharing your thoughts on it…. I bet your perspectives would be radically different and interesting to hear.
0:06 BRAD'S LIKE, 'AAAANYWAYS.' AND LEX WAS SO PROUD OF HERSELF LIKE, 'I NAILED IT!' AND SHAKES HER HEAD SMILING HAPPILY. LOL!
"What's the dark side of the moon?"
There is an intended interpretation, but, as with all art, appreciation is on the client side and not the server.
Whatever meaning you got from this is correct. It is correct because your interpretation is a reflection of you. Your experiences. Your demons. Your triumphs. Your values.
This is the purpose of art.
@Rancid Crabtree: So you like Patrick F. McManus books too!
@@MsPrincesspaulina Guilty. Though it has been many years.
You guys need to listen to the whole album, start to finish....then watch The Wizard of Oz with no sound and play this album. But it has to be timed right.
Look up 'Dark Side of the Rainbow. It's pretty trippy.
As others have said, Dark Side of The Moon is a concept album where one song blends into the next with interconnecting themes - best listened to from beginning to end (without interruption).
I think you are right with one minor exception. One of the aspects I really miss in music today is the concept of a side of a album. Sitting there, listening from the opening heartbeat to that final wavering piano chord in Great Gig. Then getting up, taking a moment to reflect on what you had just listened to and going over to the turntable. Carefully flipping the LP over between your two index fingers, placing it back on the table and starting another adventure.
@@shuntguy Absolutely, best experienced on an early pressing or MoFi LP (although the 2016 remaster sounds fantastic too). Besides, vinyl sounds better!!!
I would play this song when things went all wrong in my life, or after a break up or other stuff that happened.
It just, for me diminished the impact of the event and allowed me to move on in life.
Pink Floyd, just got back together to do a song in support of Ukraine 🇺🇦.
I hope you can make a video reacting to it. All proceeds go to help Ukraine in their time of trouble!
Stay safe, stay sane,Stay Strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
That album is just incredible. Life lessons, the search for the meaning, human sentiments, it has everything.
Roger Waters walked around with a tape recorder, and asked the studio employees things like. What did you do at night, you saw the game, "random things" and the doorman asked what the name of the Disco would be, and Roger replied The Dark Side of the Moon, so the doorman quickly replied... There is no dark side of the moon , it's all dark, and Roger liked the response and put it at the end of the album.
The thing with this whole record is you need to listen to the whole thing, you can't just pick songs out of context.
Pink floyd is the best they will transport you to places you didn't think your mind could go
there's an entire thought process behind this whole album, u need to hear the entire album in one go, its a lyrical, musical and ofcourse a cinematic masterpiece
That's AWESOME and that's why it's the MOST POPULAR album ever but you have to listen to the WHOLE ALBUM.
Love how you dove so deep into the meaning g: Astronomy with Brad and Lex!
This always had me thinking that life is fleeting and all you do, say, eat , fight, etc…means nothing in the end. Life goes on without you.
Anytime I have ever listen to this album it was start to finish not by listening to one song. It was the first album I bought when I was 16 year's old when it was released and it still is my favorite
🏳️🌈⃤ Love me some Floyd!
In fact, the laugh you hear in this song is made by Pete Watts, one of the Sound Engineers for Pink Floyd. But did you know Pete Watts has a very famous daughter? The blonde actress in The Ring (2002) and The Ring Two (2005), Naomi Watts.
Now you all need to listen to this album all the way through, either on your own time or here on the channel. You won’t regret it
Brad after listening to whole album: "it's slow"
Short story. When I first heard Dark side of the moon I thought its OK, then I played it 2-3-4-5 time and then I didnt stop for moths, then I heard Wish you were here I thought its OK, then I played it 2-3-4-5 time and then I didnt stop for moths, and that goes for every Pink Floyd album so I got some 5 years of best music experience of my life. I know every song, every note of every song and it was worth it. They are gonna be learned in music schools
One of my favorite rock songs ever! The whole album is phenomenal, considered to be the first "concept album" in Rock and Roll. The whole album is about a guy going crazy and it all culminates at the end with "Brain Damage/Eclipse". So in the first half of the song when he's singing about the lunatics getting closer and closer until they're in his head, it's as basic as that. It's about a dude going crazy. Of course there's a more complicated background story.
It's all about the original singer of pink Floyd ,,,,
No way this is the first concept album, that title goes to Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band by The Beatles, in 1967
Woah, I had looked into this also thinking about some Beatles albums, and somehow got it wrong. I read somewhere that Dark Side came out earlier. Oh well, I stand corrected. 🤷♀️
I really enjoy watching both of you and your videos. But, sometimes Brad....
the last part is the beginning of the first part of the album, pink floyd is to be listened from beginning to end on most of their albums
The doorman of Abbey Road Studios, Gerry O'Driscoll, is heard speaking, answering the question: "What is 'the dark side of the moon?" with: "There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun".
This is the song that meets up with Dorothy meeting the Scarecrow. Wizard of Oz matches up with this album.
You need to hear "Run Like Hell", from "The Wall". A different side of the Floyd, ass kicking hard rock.
Abandon the myth of mellow Floyd. You guys need to listen to some stuff from "Animals". Some of it may sound mellow in places musically, but lyrically it is cutting, biting and cynical. It's moved it's way up to my number one favourite Floyd album over the years since I've gotten a bit older. It takes an influence form George Orwell's Animal Farm and divides it's songs and story into dealing with different classes politically and socially in the 1970's when it was written, but it's written so well it transcends over time to be relevant today. Check out "Dogs", "Pigs (Three Different Ones) " and "Sheep". Make sure you go for a lyric video though as there is a lot of stuff to take in lyrically. So good! Roger Waters is at his absolute peak with his lyrics on this album. Such a good songwriter.
Pink Floyd music is so chill. It's so easy to relax listening to them.
It's just science, Brad. The moon, unlike the Earth, has no atmosphere to trap in sunlight. Lex is right again. Sorry, bro. The light does bounce off the surface and therefore remains dark. All of it.
4:58 - 6:31 Still not 100% sure this isn't the greatest piece of music ever created.
Half of moon is always dark.. never changes. This album should be listened to the whole way through. Js
It's light and dark / good, bad / life and death....
You have to do the entire album
"The Dark Side of the Moon"
Pink Floyd is what you listen to after " medicating yourself "... Also you look great Lex.
Roger Waters has stated that the insanity-themed lyrics are based on former Floyd frontman Syd Barrett's mental instability, with the line "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon" indicating that he felt related to him in terms of mental idiosyncrasies. The line "And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes..." references Barrett's behaviour near the end of his tenure with the band; because of his mental problems, there were more than a few occasions where Barrett would play a different song than the rest of the band in the middle of a concert.
Dude, with all respect this is before your time, but it’s all a metaphor. The dark side of the Moon is a metaphor.
That means during a Solar Eclipse we are all living on the dark side of the moon....
If I could use one word to describe "The Dark Side of the Moon"... Powerful.
The moon is tidally locked to the Earth, one side always faces us, the other faces away, into space. We refer to the far side as the " dark side" even though it gets sunlight.
During a new moon, when the side facing the Earth is dark, you can still see it faintly lit. That is light from the sun, reflecting off the Earth, hitting the moon and reflecting back to Earth. It's called Earthshine.
Pink Floyd gets me thinking about such things.
Metaphor people. Metaphors. I think the young ladie's on the right track.
You guys should check out Echoes live at Pompeii 1972
A lunatic telling you as a matter of fact there isn't a dark side of the moon as a matter of fact it's all dark...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu
Anytime a new form of medium comes out the first album to be released on it is usually Dark Side Of The Moon, it’s like the music industry’s version of Crysis.
Roger Waters originally wrote “Eclipse” about their former bandmate Syd Barrett, explicitly. People like to say everything Pink Floyd does is about Barrett, but that’s obvious silliness, however, that track actually is.
“Eclipse” was expertly used on the first trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, and I say that as a fan of Dune and as a cinephile that hates the trend of every movie trailer having to use a new version of an old song.
Bueatiful comments and I must say you now quality music and particularly music. that moves you and gets deep into your soul
The moon , like the earth, is always half light and half dark. Due to a series of coincidences here on earth. We only get to see one side of the moon. As far as the comment about being all dark. That may just be one of the lunatics in your head talking.
Here’s the real meaning of the song; Brain damage constantly talks about the insane and how they are outcasted from society. “The dark side of the moon” serves as a metaphor for the mental state of the insane. An eclipse is when the sun is directly behind the moon. This means that the dark side of the moon is now swapped and is now in the front (closer to earth). This shows how in the song everything we know is eclipsed by illness in a lunatics mind. The word lunatic also comes from the word lunar, which means moon.
Pink Floyd is a trip in itself. Kinda like the cold side of the sun which sounds like a cool song they could have written.
