I have the vinyl from when it first cam out, the 8 track, the cassette, and even have CD. The record shows its age, played it what seems like all the time. The music from the "60's and "70's was the greatest soundtrack to grow up with.@@aryaaditya3043
agreed. Just pulled this up on TH-cam search to make a point in a conversation of what this song is truly in relation to. I cant even name my favorite FLoyd album From Animals to Wish You Were Here. I actually do have a favorite Floyd track, which I would think is the same as many old school Floyd fans: Bicycle. You are still missed Sid. Wait, whats that? Whos David Gilmore? OH right right. Hes that vocalist Roger Waters brought in for a bit right? At a show of the few years back Dark Side of the Moon tour, we were "lunatics in the grass" behind assigned seating. I had to PEE SO BAD!! Everyone else mezmoreized Im walking through the crowd completely focused on task at hand. I did not even know they had launched the big Pink Floyd Pig, much less that the started to lose control of is, say like right where I was walking down main big isle separating assigned seats from gen admition. RIGHT in middle of this otherwise empty walkway, ALL EYES directly on this, the pig COMPLETELY blindsided me as it totally crashed ON ME!!!! Didnt get hurt or anything but imagine being there at that exact time in a ''Pink Floyd State of Mind". and the FREAKING PIG CRASHES ON YOU ALL EYES ON YOU WHEN YOU HAVE TO PEE SO BAD!!!!!! The story is now legend in the Tampa Bay area.
Pink floyd, specifically dark side of the moon makes me reflect on a simpler time i never knew. It's very melancholy to think about, but also a very, "it's better to have loved and lost than not loved at all" type of appreciation.
@@LOS_NEGRITOS I didn't say it was. I was stating that I wish I was born earlier, so that I would have been able to appreciate Pink Floyd a lot more, as well as just the time jn general. Before we had small computers in our pockets, and ppl lived in the moment as opposed to clearing up misunderstandings on a TH-cam video comments section.

Im 31 years old now, my dad is your age, and Pink Floyd is his favorite artist. Every year around his birthday the Aussie PInk Floyd comes to town and puts on an incredible show we love experiencing together, and this song and Time have become my favorites. The older i get the more i take my time as value more than my money, i can always make more money, but i cant make more time. Stay blessed friend, much love from a fellow Floyd fan.
Understandable though. Music is such a powerful thing that it can separate people as quick as it brings the together. That's the nature of such a powerful, emotional force.😊
@@VoltaicNebulae most bands have had their differences it's just a shame. But your right it's basically human nature when your in a band to have a creative difference.
@@oneofspades Cleveland in 1987 and Denver in 1994. Plus, I saw Roger on his Radio KAOS tour in August of '87. I had tickets to see him perform 'The Wall' at the Berlin wall in the early 90's when I was stationed in Germany, but the delay at checkpoint alpha was 8 hours and we were not going to make the show, so we sold our tickets at the side of the autobahn.
@@lauramarcinkiw984 You can still see the Brit Floyd or Australian Pink Floyd, may not be the "real deal", but they are both the REAL DEAL, if you get what I mean. I've seen both of them several times and they really put on a mind-blowing show, every single time.
"... and after all, we're only ordinary men." - no ego, no hubris, no hype, no artifice, no BS... just a bunch of friends having fun and creating one of the most significant works of art of the 20th century. Rock on dudes (RIP Syd and Rick).
My dad and I bonded over Pink Floyd and it's been 2 and a half years without him.. what was once us and them is now just me and them. I miss him so bad, but listening to this makes me feel closer to him again.
I've never felt more connected to a comment ike this,II lost my dad last year and it was always us and them and my son was born at the same hospital 5 days later so now when i hear this and hes on my shoulder its us and them again and he shares the same name as my dad Tommy hope your good keep jammin to floyd and remember to shine on you crazy diamond.

I was introduced to this album when we listened to it in my Sociology class freshman year of college. What an awesome professor to use this music to introduce some deep commentary on society and human behavior. I went out and bought the album. Love Pink Floyd.
Phenominal album. Unique. Shear brillance from track to track. Drove through the redwood forrests in Cali under a full moon in 1986 with these tunes as my guide. That time will never be forgotten.
I remember my dad playing this album for me when I was 12. He told me about how it came out when he was 12 and it changed his life, changed what he thought music could do to you. The sentiment remains all these years later, just now realizing what he meant.
I'm glad I live in a time with Pink Floyd imagine being born and dying before 1973 and never hearing this beautiful music. I may have missed seeing many greats in their prime or at all, but I can see concert footage and listen to their albums.
Imo if you were born in the 50s early 60s you've lived through the most innovative period of musical endeavour and therefore got to enjoy the best of it. ✌️
Thank god that statement is processed as "one of the only albums you'll ever need.."..:) Thinking of a life without Wish You Were Here or Ummagumma, Animals, etc...As well as the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway or Close to the Edge or A Passion Play or Godbluff, or Face the Music or I Robot ot Red or Sheik Yerbouti or Brain Salad Surgery, or Trick of the Tail et al. would break my heart...:)
A timeless album, as if it were recorded just yesterday, impossible for others to find a comparison, too advanced in years for its time, it remains an absolute masterpiece, more than a record, a cult object!
keep listening dude. good for you. I'm 77 and just ordered this fabulous album for the first time this week. But I have heard it, fortunately, for many years.
We make toys with lullabies for children. I've always felt this song as a sort of lullaby for adults. For those who refuse to let the child they have been completely disapear. Pink Floyd isn't simply speaking to the person I am; they speak to the being we are; what remains of us when we are beyond words. I love you Pink Floyd. Thank you.
This entire tune conveys the word "Autumn" to my mind. This tune is "moody" and resplendent. I never left it back in 1973. Thank you, members of Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons.
I was staying at a friends place in Sydney in early ‘74. Woke up on a Sunday morning to Us and Them playing across the court yard ! Have beenbin love with this master piece ever since.
This was the first album I bought in my life, slightly less than 50 years ago. It was in a "bargain bin" at a discount store, and its value FAR exceeded its price. I'd just purchased a new Dual 1229 turntable (my first and last, and still have it) and needed something to play on it. This was a stroke of luck. A classic album for all time. Are you still interested? My second purchase was Supertramp, Crime of the Century. Long Live British Rock!

Saw PF performing this in concert in DC in the '70s. Still listening and playing to their music. It never gets old (unlike me. :) Hitting 70 next year. Tempest fugit!
This is probably my all time favorite song, love the saxophone, the piano, drums and Dave and Rick's wonderful harmony such a awesome song that never goes out of style, Thank You Pink Floyd
One of my favourite albums, so many years so many memories, I'm glad I grew up in the 60s because the world was a better place to how it is now , it was simpler and free from today's control that is slowly creeping in.US and THEM seems very appropriate. Freedom is everyone's right . Peace and happiness to anyone who reads this .✌️🌻
Comprei esse LP em 1976, 3 anos após o lançamento. Ouvi milhões de vezes e ainda hoje curto com a mesma gana de sempre. É uma obra musical sem adjetivos para descrevê-la . Por todo o sempre - PINK FLOYD.
Dark Side of the Moon. I bought the (vinyl) album in '73 and I bought the Cd in '94. I have an 11 year old son and it's his favourite. We spend many hours together listening to it
I first heard this album in 1976 through headphones, and it was so amazing i still remember it. Pink floyd can do whatever they want w their music...BUT this album takes me to happier simpler days n the REMAKE is so 2023 a time i am constantly looking to ESCAPE from. Just my opinion probably a few may agree. 🌍💥💥💥😭
Hey, I was just looking through all the cool posts. Everyone had about dark side of the moon album. And yours was actually pretty close to mine. I wish I could go back to the mid-seventies. No internet Barely any cell phones. It was just a Simpler time I wanna go back to because it all sucks now!
As long as English is spoken, these songs will be enjoyed for centuries to come, hopefully millenia. This song in particular had to be divinely inspired to remind us of our imperfect nature.
I love this album. I have bought it every medium it was ever recorded on and released. Likewise, I will probably buy it again as well. The LP wore out and got very noisy to play, it was played so often. The tapes eventually tangled. The CD was loaned out and never returned, he died, and I didn't have the heart to ask for it to be returned! I bought another, it was damaged when left in the car on a very hot day!
My brother introuduced me to Pink Floyd in the mid seventies i'm nearly 60 now and the music still resonates and nevers gets old, ive been a professional soldier, a Police Officer, a husband and father and now grandfather and Pink Floyd has never left my playlist. Thank you!!
Sorry I had to come back and listen to this after hearing the "Redux" version. Nothing can compare to Rick Wright soulful touch on organ and piano and he and David Gilmour singing together is just magic.
Have to confess it took it's time replacing The Wall as my #1 PF album. After having owned it on every possible medium, it was when I got the vinyl copy again after decades that it's full scope dawned on me. And it replaced The Wall as their #1 album. Every one please do your self a favor and get a vinyl LP copy of this album. It's mind blowing. ❤
@@Jay-do2dl try some )Hawkwind sometime.maybe The Chronicle of the Blacksword th-cam.com/video/FY2jTcmlygA/w-d-xo.html altho Floyd will always have a special place for me (i remember skipping out of high school to buy my 1st copy of The Wall on 8 track lol) Hawkwind is a whole 'nother beast and there are many many more albums that make The Wall pale in comparison
@@adrianwagner336 hey thanks! Specially as I have NEVER HEARD OF THEM till now!! Better than The Wall? Dayum!! I gotta check them out and I will! Getting ready to leave on a road trip noe and maybe that's what I will play!! Will let you you what I thought in a couple of days!! Again thanks as this I got to hear!!
I used to listen to the whole album with a friend, we had some problems and now we don't talk anymore... After 5 months of being apart of each other, is the first time I hear this song by myself... I miss her so much
If you've ever got the time and know how to contact her again, explain why it hurts, wether she becomes your friend again or Nott I'm begging you to atleast let her know how you feel about her departure from your guys friendship, it may hurt but atleast you'll have the closure of knowing you told her
i just had to subscribe, because never did I forsee the ability to interact with pink floyd in this way. its fantastic. Subscribe to Pink Floyd ? Of course we do. ALL of us do!
I think back on those slow hot days. On a bike from dawn to dusk. We really has such a magic time then. We were all REALLY connected. If I'm reincarnated I will request to come back in the same era

Why is it that every time you listen to a pink floyd song it sounds better than the last time??
The Sun is the same in a relative way but you're older...
the Older it ages so do you and you Becoming Better than a Fine Wine, no Doubt.!!!
Because you might be a different mood each time you hear and react differently each time. It you might be with another person each time.
Because it is a masterpiece

It's a shame Roger and David could never settle things!! The music these guys made together is absolute magic even after all these years!!
David stood for the Music, Roger for the message behind it. Different Goals.
Understandable though. Music is such a powerful thing that it can separate people as quick as it brings the together. That's the nature of such a powerful, emotional force.😊

So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again
Dig it? I mean, he got off lightly
'Cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit?
But really, I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they, eh?

The best sax solo and the best song from the best Psychedelic band from the second best decade of music.
What decade is 1st?
80s IMO@@ffgmiller
I beg to differ, Britpop had come of age in the 70s, Gerry rafferty, Al Stewart Genesis Yes etc. The whole music scene was explosive...just sayin'.
boomer?@@jeancollins2009
Categorize them as a psychedelic rock band is to limit them, Pink Floyd is much more than that.

A timeless album, as if it were recorded just yesterday, impossible for others to find a comparison, too advanced in years for its time, it remains an absolute masterpiece, more than a record, a cult object!
That's no exaggeration! 😊
One of the most beautiful song's ever, piano in the middle brings tears
That piano😢❤
There’s very few things that can bring this 42 year old man to tears but the music of Pink Floyd is one of them.
What a song!!!! Been listening to it for over 40 years!!!
Yes great song
Me too .
My favorite song by PF....soothing like a soft blanket
@@Former_Pastor definitely
Instantly brings me back to my youth..awesome and melancholy at the same time..Wouldn't change a thing...
In my eighth decade and still listening.
Keep on truckin ☮️✌️
Beautiful
Chego lá 🇧🇷
keep going you hero
keep listening dude. good for you. I'm 77 and just ordered this fabulous album for the first time this week. But I have heard it, fortunately, for many years.
We make toys with lullabies for children. I've always felt this song as a sort of lullaby for adults. For those who refuse to let the child they have been completely disapear.
Pink Floyd isn't simply speaking to the person I am; they speak to the being we are; what remains of us when we are beyond words. I love you Pink Floyd. Thank you.
Wonderfully put🙂
This entire tune conveys the word "Autumn" to my mind. This tune is "moody" and resplendent. I never left it back in 1973. Thank you, members of Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons.
Very astute and I agree. Music has color and it’s definitely those colors and feel
I was staying at a friends place in Sydney in early ‘74. Woke up on a Sunday morning to Us and Them playing across the court yard ! Have beenbin love with this master piece ever since.
This whole album is one continuous track, never seen before, never seen again..
Technically its 2 tracks because the 2nd track starts from money all the way to the end and track 1 is speak to me to great gig in the sky
There are multiple albums that run as one continuous track, what are you talking about?
@@ItsJayBee technically its split into 2 parts (speak to me - great gig in the sky is part 1) (money - eclipse is part 2)
@@ItsJayBee but another album like that would be meteora by linkin park and songs for the deaf by queens of the stone age
The best way to lower my blood pressure. Just beautiful. Timeless.
❤😊
This was the first album I bought in my life, slightly less than 50 years ago. It was in a "bargain bin" at a discount store, and its value FAR exceeded its price. I'd just purchased a new Dual 1229 turntable (my first and last, and still have it) and needed something to play on it. This was a stroke of luck. A classic album for all time. Are you still interested? My second purchase was Supertramp, Crime of the Century. Long Live British Rock!
Why was it in a bargain bin? Was it before it started moving up the charts?
👍👍👍
Good taste 👌 dude!
The divide is even clearer now the whole world has eyes to see, sadly falling upon deaf ears in High places 😥😥
Lyrics:
Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about
With (with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died
Song gets more relevant as time passes
Is like a letter for the good people who are good persons in this cruel world
Saw PF performing this in concert in DC in the '70s. Still listening and playing to their music. It never gets old (unlike me. :) Hitting 70 next year. Tempest fugit!
Pink Floyd forever 🎸🎶♥️
the Pink Panther was here
THINK PINK
Yes Pink Floyd forever👍👍👍
Just a beautiful track. Fifty years old but will still be being played in another fifty.
50 years at least. You know, it's music like this that tends to be remembered for all time.
I firmly believe that this music is eternal, as long as humans don't lose it.
so true richard !
This is probably my all time favorite song, love the saxophone, the piano, drums and Dave and Rick's wonderful harmony such a awesome song that never goes out of style, Thank You Pink Floyd
Me emociona hasta las lágrimas! Cuanta PAZ, HERMOSURA, BELLEZA en ésta canción. Gracias, gracias, gracias Pink Floyd!!!
This song opened so many eyes . Now all those eyes are together for the show
Pink Floyd: simplesmente a melhor banda de todos os tempos! ❤
One of my favourite albums, so many years so many memories, I'm glad I grew up in the 60s because the world was a better place to how it is now , it was simpler and free from today's control that is slowly creeping in.US and THEM seems very appropriate. Freedom is everyone's right . Peace and happiness to anyone who reads this .✌️🌻
peace and happiness to you. always
Cuando la música del pasado, te lleva al futuro... Sin dudas.
After all, the whole album is and will always be a masterpiece!
I was young, starting the life, believing in the world, 1972. Inspiration, seeing the life in other way.
The world sucks now no good music
50 ans plus tard et toujours aussi magnifiquement parfait, je ne me lasserai jamais de cette merveille musicale qu’était Pink Floyd
Comprei esse LP em 1976, 3 anos após o lançamento. Ouvi milhões de vezes e ainda hoje curto com a mesma gana de sempre. É uma obra musical sem adjetivos para descrevê-la . Por todo o sempre - PINK FLOYD.
Well put
Show! 🤘🏻
@@thayna_andrade_alvarenga 🙌🤘🤘🤘
The first album I ever owned. I think I was in 9th grade. It had been released a few years earlier. Still one of the best albums ever created.
Pink floyd, su música es una Expansión del alma ❤
👍😊🌟🌟🌟🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹👍👊😊🇲🇽
La pura verdad.
Tal cual ♥️
Dark Side of the Moon. I bought the (vinyl) album in '73 and I bought the Cd in '94. I have an 11 year old son and it's his favourite. We spend many hours together listening to it
I first heard this album in 1976 through headphones, and it was so amazing i still remember it. Pink floyd can do whatever they want w their music...BUT this album takes me to happier simpler days n the REMAKE is so 2023 a time i am constantly looking to ESCAPE from. Just my opinion probably a few may agree. 🌍💥💥💥😭
Hey, I was just looking through all the cool posts. Everyone had about dark side of the moon album. And yours was actually pretty close to mine.
I wish I could go back to the mid-seventies. No internet
Barely any cell phones. It was just a Simpler time I wanna go back to because it all sucks now!
Listening to the song for a 1000th time I think... And I could be wrong... It could be more... ❤❤❤
One of the best songs ever.
50 years gone. And still nothing comes close. Relaxing after work, lights off ,can in hand, the ultimate chill, it will never happen again.🤘👍😉
Enjoy my friend!🙂
And a joint!
Will never happen again
Pipe full of green and a jack and coke
lets go colin !
Absolutely love the sax!
Maybe the most perfect song ever recorded.
👏👏👏👏👏 eu amo essa música, Pink Floyd é atemporal, hoje é meu aniversário 🎂 faço 40 anos, e foi um presente 🎁 essa música pra mim hoje!!!
Faço 70 anos dia 25, Pink é a maior e melhor banda de todo o universo !
@@jorgealtieri meus parabéns antecipado meu amigo, tudo de bom para nós todos!!!
Parabéns 🎉 para você 🎁🎂
my favorite song in this album!
and this is probably in my top 3 favorite Pink Floyd songs.
Possibly my third fave after echoes and one of these days
its mine too
As long as English is spoken, these songs will be enjoyed for centuries to come, hopefully millenia. This song in particular had to be divinely inspired to remind us of our imperfect nature.
Junio del 2024 con una lluvia en Concepción que lo destruye todo... está canción, relaja mi alma.
So a great album ! I could hear them anytime during all my life Pink flyod for ever ❤❤❤❤
I love this album. I have bought it every medium it was ever recorded on and released. Likewise, I will probably buy it again as well. The LP wore out and got very noisy to play, it was played so often. The tapes eventually tangled. The CD was loaned out and never returned, he died, and I didn't have the heart to ask for it to be returned! I bought another, it was damaged when left in the car on a very hot day!
Dsotm redux oct 8th! Should be cool!
I Love the Saxophone in this song.
I can play Brass Instruments but Never could get the Saxophone. Beautiful !!!
ive listened to this album maybe 5 times today. somehow it still feels entirely fresh as the first time i listened to it.
Essa canção é uma das mais lindas que já ouvir, só esse solo de sax me quebra, super banda, Floyd por toda vida 🎶✨🇬🇧😎🤘
All that music from one band, talent that has longevity.
That 3rd chord always gives me chills.
Used to fall asleep to this all the time. I find it healing.
My brother introuduced me to Pink Floyd in the mid seventies i'm nearly 60 now and the music still resonates and nevers gets old, ive been a professional soldier, a Police Officer, a husband and father and now grandfather and Pink Floyd has never left my playlist. Thank you!!
Sorry I had to come back and listen to this after hearing the "Redux" version. Nothing can compare to Rick Wright soulful touch on organ and piano and he and David Gilmour singing together is just magic.
The timelessness of this work of art is unmatched.
A primeira vez q escutei esse LP, foi de uma única vez, fiquei louco, no dia seguinte corri para o centro da cidade procurando nas lojas para comprar.
Amo ésta música!!!!!!!.....
Love this song from it's boozy sax to Mr Wright wondrous keyboard/piano playing just makes this classic a wonderful ride
Mi canción favorita de este álbum, difícilmente es separar las canciones porque juntas son perfectas. Pero esta en específico como me mata, la amo ❤
Greatest Album of ALL TIME!!
having listened to them all i assume?
Have to confess it took it's time replacing The Wall as my #1 PF album. After having owned it on every possible medium, it was when I got the vinyl copy again after decades that it's full scope dawned on me. And it replaced The Wall as their #1 album. Every one please do your self a favor and get a vinyl LP copy of this album. It's mind blowing. ❤
@@Jay-do2dl try some )Hawkwind sometime.maybe The Chronicle of the Blacksword th-cam.com/video/FY2jTcmlygA/w-d-xo.html
altho Floyd will always have a special place for me (i remember skipping out of high school to buy my 1st copy of The Wall on 8 track lol) Hawkwind is a whole 'nother beast and there are many many more albums that make The Wall pale in comparison
@@adrianwagner336 hey thanks! Specially as I have NEVER HEARD OF THEM till now!! Better than The Wall? Dayum!! I gotta check them out and I will! Getting ready to leave on a road trip noe and maybe that's what I will play!! Will let you you what I thought in a couple of days!! Again thanks as this I got to hear!!
@@adrianwagner336 😃😅😆
If this song doesn’t get down in your soul and rattle it, you’re probably dead! There’s a big difference between hearing and feeling music!
Thanks for making this playlist! I grew up to this music and it brings me back to a better time in my life ...Love it
I used to listen to the whole album with a friend, we had some problems and now we don't talk anymore...
After 5 months of being apart of each other, is the first time I hear this song by myself...
I miss her so much
If you've ever got the time and know how to contact her again, explain why it hurts, wether she becomes your friend again or Nott I'm begging you to atleast let her know how you feel about her departure from your guys friendship, it may hurt but atleast you'll have the closure of knowing you told her
Similar story here bro, it gets better though.
i just had to subscribe, because never did I forsee the ability to interact with pink floyd in this way. its fantastic. Subscribe to Pink Floyd ? Of course we do. ALL of us do!
Music will never be this good again
Isso que chamo de rock progressivo e com uma pitada de blues no som de saxofone.
Definitely the soundtrack of my life.
Same ❤
So true and heartful.
as a 24 year old, i’m so fkn happy to know these bands/songs exist. id say very fortunate to know good music
You have great taste
You're a man of quality.
I believe if more of your peers would give PF a shot, there would be thousands more loving them.
I was 10 when I discovered this song by accident. It was mind blowing...
I think back on those slow hot days. On a bike from dawn to dusk. We really has such a magic time then. We were all REALLY connected. If I'm reincarnated I will request to come back in the same era
I was 12.
I was 15
@@paulobacula8442im 12 now and I’m discovering “the dark side of the moon”
I remember the first time I heard this beautiful song: in the summer of 1975. Timeless.
Probably for me the finest piece of music written in the last century
El ritmo, la melodia, la instrumentación, los coros, el saxo.. Éste tema es único e inolvidable ❤
This has to be the top track from The Dark Side of the Moon. Such a timeless album, can’t believe it’s now 50 years old. 😄😎
The era of this band....They have my 1st pick. The layers of sound make it beautiful. - from a musician of 30 years...
