The album Dark Side of the Moon is meant to be played in its entirety because each song blends into the next. Masterful genius! Best album of all time, IMO.
Most Pink Floyd Albums followed that formula: "The Wall," "Animals'" and "Wish You Were Here" just to name a few. Btw: "Masterful Genius" is the perfect was to describe this group.
I wonder if he'll be able to do that, though. Lots of reactors on YT are getting copystrikes when reacting to whole albums. (Some even with whole songs.) Sucks, but... :-/
You can’t understand.....hearing this back in the 70’s when “you are young, your life is long, and there is time to kill today”...... and not knowing...now “ten years (x50) have got behind you, no one told you when to run”! Prolific! Peace and love all my old 70’s love children!
“Ten years (x50)” haha are you five hundred years old? I’m 18 and my dad was born in ‘68. We love listening to Pink Floyd, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and of course the Beatles. I would have loved to have grown up in the 70’s if not just to see those bands live and in their prime.

@@HobbenTroutski I mean, its a beautiful album, but anyone who has made music can tell you that while making a song/album, they start hating it a bit, because they have been replaying it for so long to get it down just right and are never quite satisfied by the end result, so it makes sense for him to say that, as we just get to listen to the finished product while he is reminded of the tired, sleepless nights he had to endure working on making the album as great as it is now.

@@HobbenTroutski man writing and recording songs is so difficult because halfway through the songs already played out to you and you can’t tell if it was ever good or not, and the sounds in your head never play out the way you thought.

I don’t think humanity can produce anymore of these classics, 70’s vibe i’d say was either a unique moment in our history or a moment that happens every 12 thousand years
Absolutely. I managed to get my hands on a copy of the 5.1 SACD version of the quadraphonic recordings. Played on my fairly nice component home theatre and audio setup, lights dimmed... it's transcendent.

When you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking... chasing around to come up behind you again. one of the greatest most deepest lyrics ever written this song truly is a work of art gives me chills every time I hear it and I've been listening to it for 40 years
The sun is the same in a relative way but your older .. shorter of breath one day closer to death.. that’s deep too man .. reminds me of When I’m 64 by McCartney .. now he’s passed 64 and he probably realized “ 🤯 dam I wrote that years ago and now 64 came around “
Was lucky enough to have had a dad that made sure he instilled a love for indelible music in me. He took me to see them in 1994 in Nashville. Best concert or live performance of anything I've ever seen. Time performed live in person was mystical. I was 16 years old and completely sober. Best experience ever.
You GOTTA listen to the entire album... Just GOTTA. This album spent 741 weeks STRAIGHT on the Billboard charts, and has at least 900 weeks total on it. Multi-platinum album as well. This is one album I'd take if I were to be stuck on a deserted island.
@GoukenslayWAO just come out of your cave??? Evidently you don't know there's such things as cell phones and Ipods, and a small solar charger will easily charge the battery on one. Are you so simple that you thought we were talking about a turntable to play a vinyl record with????
It was only removed from the billboard chats because of a rule change. There was also a pressing plant in Germany dedicated to printing copies of only this album for sale. A whole pressing plant. For only this album. For 34 fucking years.
@@radioethiopiate puts some perspective on the power of their message. Also, the deserted island point is a figure of speech (look that up) meant to make a point, that, if there were only so much music to listen to, this would be some of it.
watching someone hear Pink Floyd for the 1st time is like seeing a soul enter a new realm of consciousness. with most bands and music taking drugs makes the music better, but with Pink Floyd, the music makes the drugs better.
"The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say..." I've always loved that line. The Floyd are timeless.... greatest band on earth
I don't know there is alot of really good line in that one song like "you run and you run to ketch up the sun but it's sinking, racing around and comes behind you again" and then "the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older shorter of breath one day close to death" O for gods sake damn the whole song is nothing but awesome lines...
I remember when the album came out. I was a sophomore in high school and I took Astronomy. The teacher was in to Pink Floyd. We would go into the planetarium and he would crank Dark Side of the Moon, while explaining the stars, constellations, etc. Awesome experience. Best class in high school.
It's not that we can't... Today everything is all cleaned up so much in the studios it doesn't sound the same. Plus today's youth prefer to listen to whatever you want to call it... I couldn't tell you, I stopped listening to new music after about 1995.
There is actually some flat out AMAZING music out there today. You just won't hear it on the radio. There's so much out there now it's easy to miss things.
There is still amazing music being made today. But the styles and sounds that used to be popular are now marginalized and "niche," so you have to do a bit of digging to find that good shit under all the soulless, mass-produced, poppy bullshit.
There's a reason this album was on the charts for DECADES after its release and still holds the record. "Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988." "Upon a change in methodology in 2009 allowing catalogue titles to be included in the Billboard 200,[97] The Dark Side of the Moon returned to the chart at number 189 on 12 December of that year for its 742nd charting week.[98] It has continued to sporadically appear on the Billboard 200 since then, with the total at 950 weeks on the chart as of May 2020."
I was around back then and I can tell you why it stayed on the charts: it was considered the ultimate stoner album although it is not exactly psychedelic music (for the most part.) I don't think kids really listened to the lyrics because they are quite depressing. I played in a Floyd tribute band for about ten years - we used to do DSOTM all the way through (wasn't easy) so I know these songs quite well. And don't forget the very last words on the album: "There is no dark side of the moon, in fact it's all dark."
My son has autism... He is 8 going on 9. When he loves something especially in an audio format he stims. When I 1st laid down this track for him in the car, he stimmed so hard that I thought he was having a seizure and had to pull over and check him. So when you hit stank face maximus it just made my heart happy all over again. I love this page.
@Hydin Biden sure. It's a good thing. When my son stims it's an overwhelming sensory activity ...pure happiness that comes out like a gazelle that just escaped a lion. So when he heard this song he did that nearly the entire time and made that "stank face maximus" much like Jamel did during the song. So seeing Jamel hearing this and have that facial reaction made me happy all over again. The power of music.
Yes, but just by yourself. Decent headphones. Preferably in the dark. You deserve it. Do the same with Meddle! Before you know it, you'll also be into Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer! :-)
Here, hear.!!!!! My Good Man, Jamel When and only when you have 1(one)hour of some TIME(pun intended) put on some ol school headphones get in a BIG comfy chair, volume, @your discretion, then put the Fang in the Viynal and just enjoy enjoy enjoy.. take a trip and never leave the farm!!! Lololo
I consider it the Mount Everest of female vocal performance. Thought it up in 5 minutes and nailed it in one take. Now THAT's legendary. Little Claire Torry.
I was 31, having dropped out of college 10 years earlier. Adrift. I listened to this song at my mom's house. For me it was so true. I went back to college, graduated, went on and got my PhD, and just retired after 32 years of university teaching. And here I am, adrift again. But smiling this time, even though I hear the approaching falls I must go over.
I wonder if it always feels you ("you" as in anyone) missed the starting gun, but you track back and realise you did enter the race and raced your heart out - many different races. But somehow there's that feeling you never went in the right direction.
This album should be heard from beginning to end without any pause. The bells at the beginning are notorious for scaring the crap out of 90% of the listeners.
As true as this is, any great piece of music should be able to be enjoyed separate from the album as well, and that's where Pink Floyd shines. Hearing almost any Floyd song on its own is an immersive experience, but as part of the whole album it's simply magical.
The clocks were all individually recorded on tape. They cut loops (yes, by hand) and started several tape machines with hand signals and recorded this in real time. This "ticking", which is heard around 01:00, is played on the bass. They had no computers at the time, all effects were done manually.
I’m a 63 year old woman and I just love watching your reactions to the greatest music ever written. I had the Pink Floyd cassette of “The Wall” and played it so much the tape snapped! I had to go out and buy another..The concerts from those days were magical. Keep them coming,
I’m 67 and I watch just about every reaction loved the Grand Funk inside looking out lol . Remember people our age heard these songs first time on radio , AM the FM one speaker in your car lol
The series of lyrics that best explain this song & the album is this, " And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death." Deep shit! Something to think about. The whole song is perfectly written
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." A few years ago i was working with a therapist about some of the unresolved issues of my earlier life. One day listening to Pink Floyd (who i've always known about - I'm 53), this song was playing through my earbuds and when these lyrics came up.........it was though some of the question of my earlier life were finally being answered. What's the phrase? - Same song but with a different meaning.
All except Roger Waters, he was just a master wordsmith and conceptualist with a great sense of timing, but his playing abilities with regards to playing instruments was nothing more than average at best.
Gotta hear this whole album, Dark Side of the Moon. Just 10 tracks. Spent 741 weeks on Billboard Top 40 (17 1/2 yrs). Probably best album ever made. Meant to be listened to all the way thru. It takes themes of life and make songs about them such as "Time", "Money", "Great Gig in the Sky" (about death), etc. It will open your eyes and mind, and change your life. Can't wait to see your face on " Great Gig in the Sky". I know that one is getting requested.
And remember like when Joe Dimaggio's 54 game hitting streak ended, the next day he started another 18 game streak. When it was announced that the album dropped out of the Billboard top 200, the following week it was back on and stayed in and out of there for quite a few years more. I think the total to recent times of over 1,500 weeks total, and over 40 million units sold.
That song is a Masterpiece instruments and singing ,lyrics, everything but man that guitar something else....👍👍was 16 when my friends and I would listen to Pink Floyd ,getting high listening to this songs would take you to another level.....
my first record album i ever bought right after release along with a few masters editions. I played them on a Dual 701 with Shure type 3. Pioneer Amplifier, Pioneer 2 channel 10 band equalizer. Pioneer(not sure) reverb. 2 big Sansui 5 ways and 2 Kenwood 5 ways. State of the art back in 1975. I was in the Army living in the barracks and had (a lot to me discretionary) income. I lost it all in the Loma Preita Earthquake along with much of my newly purchased home a few miles from the epicenter.
@@MatthewPettyST1300 I bought this when it first came out in '73. Over the years I've owned on almost every type of audio since, 8-track, cassette, CD, Original Master Recording virgin vinyl and Original Master super audio CD.
@@vernhoke7730 Never too much of a good thing. As expensive as those Vinyl Masters are, boy are they worth it when you have equipment to handle their audio range. I've owned many from Pink Floyd all the way to SuperTramp.
I always love the reaction to the beginning of the solo. Whenever I hear “you missed the starting gun...” I know a first time listener is about to have their brain melted.
I was twelve years old the first time I heard Pink Floyd. My brother was a few years older than me and would watch me listening to The Beatles 24/7. He finally said "Bro, I know you love The Beatles and they're an incredible band but I want you to listen to something different with me but you have to promise me you'll listen to the entire album." I was like "ugghh, fine dude just put it on." He put on Dark Side of the Moon. It was like my entire world changed in that forty-two and a half minutes. Now I still love The Beatles and I always will but that one defining moment changed the way I looked at music forever. It got me hooked on my second favorite band ever and then he had the audacity to put Zeppelin on the turntable and fuck my mind up some more. The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin still my top three today. Thanks brohan. Love you man, miss you.
Mike K my first was The Wall. I bought it at a yard sale in 1985 for $0.50 and still have it. I won’t buy a receiver without a phono input because of my Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin collection.
The majority if Pink Floyd fans will agree that this entire album must be listened to as a whole, as is true with Wish You Were Here and The Wall. The songs all are connected musically. For individual songs, Echoes, One of These Days, Hey You.
I was setting up a Pink Floyd play list on Spotify. I've never had such a hard time. On several of their albums (Dark side and Wall) how do you leave out songs? They are both designed to effectively by one long song.
First heard Dark Side of the Moon when I was 14 and my aunt and cousins and I drove up to Northern Wisconsin from Chicago. We listened to the whole thing on a loop over the hours that it took us to drive there. No one spoke. I felt like I time-traveled on that drive and had been 'somewhere else' for the whole time we were in the car. Y'know, like how people have missing time when they're abducted by aliens?
Hahaha just loved watching your expressions whilst reacting to this piece of genius music. The lyrics here are best you will ever hear put to music in my opinion. Floyd are numero uno.
So glad you're doing Pink Floyd....be ready for an experience. I used to close my door and turn out all the lights and just listen for hours...drove my mom nuts!!!! Pleeeeaase always have your earphones in when listening to them!!
The 1st of March 2023 is the 50th anniversary of the release of Darkside of The Moon .. I also turn 50 this year. By the way, your t-shirt was perfect for this review .. IT'S ALL GOOD 🤩 We all discover this masterpiece in our own way, on our own journey .. on our own TIME ⏰⏳🕰️ I love Marvin Gaye, Sam and Dave and Otis Redding. Love your channel!
Dark Side of the Moon is one of the very few perfect albums. It"s lyrics reflected what we we're going through at the time. I have been listening to it for 48 years and it still packs the same emotional impact as when I was 16.
I'm 67 now. The sun has raced and come up behind me many times now. I am shorter of breath and much closer to death these days no doubt. The intro into this song is truly amazing with the contrast of the bongo like drums, bass guitar and the high pitched chimes. This is the music I grew up with and enjoyed. Rock and Roll from the 60's and 70's was fantastic. It was a truly mystical time to be young. But like the song says we all got caught up in daily life and chained to responsibilities from choices we made such as starting a family and choices that were already pre-set such as a career and the expected 9 - 5 job. And time was oblivious to us and passed us by and here we are in our golden years never really believing it would ever happen to us. There were many bands that had amazing influence on daily living with dynamic lyrics and guitar play like Floyd such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and others. It was a magical musical time of creativity in music and lyrics which does not exist in todays musical artists and bands. But one thing I am sure of. Because of the infinite number of musical arrangements that can be made from 8 simple notes that we know as the scale, I believe that the greatest music ever composed hasn't even been created yet. I'm sure I will be dead and buried by that time. But I know it will be an amazing adventure for those young people who will be alive at that time. It certainly was for us back then.
Hiya Jamel, The Dark Side Of The Moon was on the UK album chart for 15 years 1973 until 1988, just to let you know, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
Definitely. I saw them live my senior year of high school in 1994 Pulse Tour (minus Roger Waters) and still to this day, one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Glad I got the chance to do that.
The death line at the end is the most profound part of this song. "Far away beyond the field, the tolling of the iron bell, calls the faithful to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic spells."
Remember buying Dark Side of The Moon as a 14 year old in 1973 when it came out. It's been a constant companion to me nigh on 50 years and I never tire of it. Always great to see someone hearing it for the first time and really digging it. You have entered the Floyd Universe and there are more delights awaiting you. Peace.
If you look at the lyrics of (Time), keeping in mind, (Breathe and On The Run) , previous tracks, The first part is about a younger man, "kicking around", wasting his time, with "time to kill today". "Then one day you find 10 years have got behind you" - he never started his dreams, his life. "So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking" - trying to make up for lost time, but it's a fruitless effort..."the sun is the same in a relative way but your older" The universe marches on but he's now older, and "one day closer to death". "Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time, and plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines" - you still have those dreams, those aspirations, but now life seems to interfere or you just can no longer make the effort, and instead merely "hanging on in quiet desperation". "the time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say" he's now dying and thought he'd leave behind a better legacy than he has, but instead is leaving behind so many things unaccomplished. Don’t forget that this is the song following (Breathe and On The Run) So (Time) seems to be the result of: (Run, rabbit run, Dig that hole, forget the sun. And when at last the work is done, Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one. For long you live and high you fly, But only if you ride the tide. And balanced on the biggest wave, You race towards an early grave). And next; The Great Gig In The Sky…
I'm 79years YOUNG, have heard this song hundreds of times, and I still get emotional....
Hi Justin, Fantastic!
Could you share, what media you use?
Got a turntable for instance?
I cry every time
right behind you at 75!

Pink Floyd is more than music, it is definitely an experience.
Nja its a way of life
All it takes is one drop
When you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking... chasing around to come up behind you again. one of the greatest most deepest lyrics ever written this song truly is a work of art gives me chills every time I hear it and I've been listening to it for 40 years
The sun is the same in a relative way but your older .. shorter of breath one day closer to death.. that’s deep too man .. reminds me of When I’m 64 by McCartney .. now he’s passed 64 and he probably realized “ 🤯 dam I wrote that years ago and now 64 came around “
This song hits a little harder every year
40 Years? A newcomer then...? 😁
I have the privilege of having heard it from the beginning. How lucky my generation were! 😟 Now look at the world...
Was lucky enough to have had a dad that made sure he instilled a love for indelible music in me. He took me to see them in 1994 in Nashville. Best concert or live performance of anything I've ever seen. Time performed live in person was mystical. I was 16 years old and completely sober. Best experience ever.
Fifty years for me , I was lucky enough to purchase the album in 1973 , aged 13 and I’m still listening to this masterpiece most days
You GOTTA listen to the entire album... Just GOTTA.
This album spent 741 weeks STRAIGHT on the Billboard charts, and has at least 900 weeks total on it. Multi-platinum album as well. This is one album I'd take if I were to be stuck on a deserted island.
I totally still have this album.
Oof, that's an acquired taste. Certainly not 'amusing' quite depressing actually. I like it don't get me wrong but on a island?
@GoukenslayWAO just come out of your cave??? Evidently you don't know there's such things as cell phones and Ipods, and a small solar charger will easily charge the battery on one. Are you so simple that you thought we were talking about a turntable to play a vinyl record with????
It was only removed from the billboard chats because of a rule change. There was also a pressing plant in Germany dedicated to printing copies of only this album for sale. A whole pressing plant. For only this album. For 34 fucking years.
@@radioethiopiate puts some perspective on the power of their message.
Also, the deserted island point is a figure of speech (look that up) meant to make a point, that, if there were only so much music to listen to, this would be some of it.
watching someone hear Pink Floyd for the 1st time is like seeing a soul enter a new realm of consciousness. with most bands and music taking drugs makes the music better, but with Pink Floyd, the music makes the drugs better.
And for the listener, the drugs are optional.
Too much paper man!... The folded faces of paper to the floor and everyday the paper boy brings more "!

Just loved it that this is part of my life
When I was 16 years old I would turn this song up to 11. Now that I'm 53 years old it makes me cry
I'm 37 and it makes me cry
@@DavidLopez-td7nr 50 . . and I can't stop time . . . *cry*
Me too sad
its always made me cry
I'm 60 and it moves me more each time I hear it.
"The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say..." I've always loved that line. The Floyd are timeless.... greatest band on earth
Every line is brilliant....this song is so deep, so powerfull, it's a lesson that every teenager should hear
“Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way” is one of the best lines ever written! 😎
My favorite comes from Brain Damage.
"You lock the doors, and throw away the key,
There's someone in my head but it's not me."
I don't know there is alot of really good line in that one song like "you run and you run to ketch up the sun but it's sinking, racing around and comes behind you again" and then "the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older shorter of breath one day close to death" O for gods sake damn the whole song is nothing but awesome lines...
For my part, in my heart, I just switch the "English" to "Human"
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I’d something more to say
That’s the best line on the album it gives me goosebumps every time
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
I remember when the album came out. I was a sophomore in high school and I took Astronomy. The teacher was in to Pink Floyd. We would go into the planetarium and he would crank Dark Side of the Moon, while explaining the stars, constellations, etc. Awesome experience. Best class in high school.
That’s a trip one doesn’t need chemicals for, good one.
WOW I bet that was incredible 👏
Would have loved to see that. Must have been Awesome. What an Awesome Teacher!!!!
Did he ever set the controls for the heart of the sun? 🤔😁
That sounds so badazz!
I truly breaks my heart to pieces that we can't have music like this today. These guys were music from the gods!
There's a band/collective from Norway called Ulver. If you like Floyd, you mught like Ulver. Try their album called Messe I.X - VI.X. It's on TH-cam.
It's not that we can't... Today everything is all cleaned up so much in the studios it doesn't sound the same. Plus today's youth prefer to listen to whatever you want to call it... I couldn't tell you, I stopped listening to new music after about 1995.
There is actually some flat out AMAZING music out there today. You just won't hear it on the radio. There's so much out there now it's easy to miss things.
There is still amazing music being made today. But the styles and sounds that used to be popular are now marginalized and "niche," so you have to do a bit of digging to find that good shit under all the soulless, mass-produced, poppy bullshit.
People that lament about music of today make me sad. They have no idea where to look to find the good stuff! Here's a hint: it won't be on the radio!
Watching people discover incredible music for the first time is my new favorite thing. It’s wild how good music can touch us all
Good comment...Agreed 👍
There's a reason this album was on the charts for DECADES after its release and still holds the record.
"Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988."
"Upon a change in methodology in 2009 allowing catalogue titles to be included in the Billboard 200,[97] The Dark Side of the Moon returned to the chart at number 189 on 12 December of that year for its 742nd charting week.[98] It has continued to sporadically appear on the Billboard 200 since then, with the total at 950 weeks on the chart as of May 2020."
I recall for a while Billboards under the weeks on chart.. wrote in "Forever"
Man, that's just fuckin epic.
I'm not doubting you at all, and too lazy to look it up right now, but if thats true, thats crazy. But definitely a record that deserves to be there
And that is just the Billboard charts (like, 5% of the world's population).
I was around back then and I can tell you why it stayed on the charts: it was considered the ultimate stoner album although it is not exactly psychedelic music (for the most part.) I don't think kids really listened to the lyrics because they are quite depressing. I played in a Floyd tribute band for about ten years - we used to do DSOTM all
the way through (wasn't easy) so I know these songs quite well. And don't forget the very last words on the
album: "There is no dark side of the moon, in fact it's all dark."
Pink Floyd cradles you in the beginning, erases your fears, and watches you die in their arms, magnificent
How poetic
"You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today"
Damn...
I always heard that as "there is time to kill the pain"
This 62 year thought the same thing. Then one day I found 40 years had got behind me. Life is so short.
@@alnonymous2482 Yes, lets re-write those lyric !
And then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you...
🥺 every damn time
Arguably top 5 greatest guitar solo of all time
That soulfoul chorus puts me in tears.
"I feel like I'm being hypnotized" - That's a Floyd Hole my friend.
lol Venture Bros fan?
@@wfly81 You're not ready to step into the court of the Crimson King. That sort or thing could turn you into a mad scientist.
if you play this at 45rpms it sounds like a grateful dead song.. unrelated "CHECK OUT DARKSIDE OF OZ!"

Just say...YES!!!
Some drummers have metronomes. Metronomes have Nick Mason.
Best comment here
You send your metronome to Nick Mason if you want it calibrated.
Brian Farley greetings from 2020. How’s 2005 treating you. Like do people still think chuck norris is a god for some reason?
Brian Farley honestly I just laughed so fuckin hard at that. You caught me so off guard, you win bro hands down haha
I agree Nick is one of the best drummers... if only THEY would allow him to release his inner drum-monster.
From the moment you said "Ooo...this build up" I thought..."pace yourself dude, you've got a ways to go yet!"
lol this song has the longest build up ever, but it's kind of apropos to the title haha, as it keeps speeding up a little
Hahaha....yep, me too
i Laughed as well...
It almost brings me to tears watching people realize what Pink Floyd does for the soal
David Gilmour’s solo on this track is best described as eargasm
An orgasm in your ear. Got it.
It is!
It's brilliant to me because it fits in so well and doesn't overstay its welcome even though it's pretty long.
I still came
My son has autism... He is 8 going on 9. When he loves something especially in an audio format he stims. When I 1st laid down this track for him in the car, he stimmed so hard that I thought he was having a seizure and had to pull over and check him.
So when you hit stank face maximus it just made my heart happy all over again. I love this page.
@Hydin Biden sure. It's a good thing. When my son stims it's an overwhelming sensory activity ...pure happiness that comes out like a gazelle that just escaped a lion. So when he heard this song he did that nearly the entire time and made that "stank face maximus" much like Jamel did during the song. So seeing Jamel hearing this and have that facial reaction made me happy all over again. The power of music.
@slarti bartfast SO awesome
@slarti bartfast Your dinner reservation at the Rest. at the Universe is ready. Nice job on Norway by the way.
Jason Free: Reading this months later. Wow!!! That’s a great story. Bless your son ❤️
Some people don’t realize music can stir the heart .
Jamel: please please please listen to the whole album in one sitting.
Yes, but just by yourself. Decent headphones. Preferably in the dark. You deserve it. Do the same with Meddle! Before you know it, you'll also be into Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer! :-)
yes. the way it was meant to be done. Find THE WALL, and do the same thing. Thats another of my HALF-SPEED masters I owned.
Absolutely fantastic Plan. Now i am going to do that as i still have the LP in fantastic shape. Thanks
I logged in just so I could say the same thing.
Here, hear.!!!!!
My Good Man, Jamel
When and only when you have 1(one)hour of some TIME(pun intended) put on some ol school headphones get in a BIG comfy chair, volume, @your discretion, then put the Fang in the Viynal and just enjoy enjoy enjoy.. take a trip and never leave the farm!!! Lololo
every Floyd song takes you on a journey......their songs are like being on a roller coaster
welcome to pink floyd, you'll never be the same
Welcome to machine.
Pink Floyd..can't believe you haven't heard the whole album?!!..all the songs have a message.. Must hear!! Injoy!!🎸🎸✌
“Great gig in the sky” I think it’s probably the greatest female accapela performance of all time
Actually it's not "a cappella" but you're right
I consider it the Mount Everest of female vocal performance. Thought it up in 5 minutes and nailed it in one take. Now THAT's legendary. Little Claire Torry.
Best
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd? You done did it now
I met Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin..
Dude, seriously. Just those two bands alone have such deep catalogs it’ll take brotha some Time 😉 Pun intended 😁
Took me forty years, so far.
Great gig in the sky
You done diddly doo.
I was 31, having dropped out of college 10 years earlier. Adrift. I listened to this song at my mom's house. For me it was so true. I went back to college, graduated, went on and got my PhD, and just retired after 32 years of university teaching. And here I am, adrift again. But smiling this time, even though I hear the approaching falls I must go over.
I wonder if it always feels you ("you" as in anyone) missed the starting gun, but you track back and realise you did enter the race and raced your heart out - many different races. But somehow there's that feeling you never went in the right direction.
if you can't do, teach
This album should be heard from beginning to end without any pause.
The bells at the beginning are notorious for scaring the crap out of 90% of the listeners.
Yes. Don’t know how they did it but the Album is the thing. Hard to break it up...
SciPunk215 can confirm. Album is best when listened to without pause. No question about it.
And it really does work when watching The Wizard of Oz.
That’s funny because it’s true
As true as this is, any great piece of music should be able to be enjoyed separate from the album as well, and that's where Pink Floyd shines. Hearing almost any Floyd song on its own is an immersive experience, but as part of the whole album it's simply magical.
Guilty
The clocks were all individually recorded on tape. They cut loops (yes, by hand) and started several tape machines with hand signals and recorded this in real time. This "ticking", which is heard around 01:00, is played on the bass. They had no computers at the time, all effects were done manually.
and thats why our music was so wonderful.....no cheap tricks....:)
@@JazzyBabe56 But, there was Cheap Trick.
@@ronbeck201 Yes!! yes there was....LOL
YES Roger Walters on bass.....ticking along.....
giglio33012 David Gilmour sings the verses and the outro part and Rick Wright does the chorus parts
Far away across the field

To hear the softly spoken magic spell
I literally just scrolled to your comment right as that line hit
Was reading your line at the exact time the lines came up....
One word - "Masterful"
300 years from now people will still playing this album.
I’m a 63 year old woman and I just love watching your reactions to the greatest music ever written. I had the Pink Floyd cassette of “The Wall” and played it so much the tape snapped! I had to go out and buy another..The concerts from those days were magical. Keep them coming,
How many screams if the player ate the tape? Carefully winding back in, making sure it didn't flip.
I’m 67 and I watch just about every reaction loved the Grand Funk inside looking out lol . Remember people our age heard these songs first time on radio , AM the FM one speaker in your car lol
I’m 75 and spending my Covid pandemic days at home listening to so many artists, it blows my mind. Loving it.
The series of lyrics that best explain this song & the album is this, "
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."
Deep shit! Something to think about.
The whole song is perfectly written
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." A few years ago i was working with a therapist about some of the unresolved issues of my earlier life. One day listening to Pink Floyd (who i've always known about - I'm 53), this song was playing through my earbuds and when these lyrics came up.........it was though some of the question of my earlier life were finally being answered. What's the phrase? - Same song but with a different meaning.
Logicalson Word is Bond
cjonyx I hear ya!
I started listening to and loving this song about 16 years ago, but the lyrics didn't start making me ache until the last couple of years.
just truth my friend
This song’s words has always resonated with me, even in my teen years. But, I tell you, it takes on a more deeper meaning as I get older.
And it only gets stronger my friend, use your time wisely for it is fleeting.
It hits REALLY hard once you get past 40. Heed its words.
pretty incredible when you realise a couple twenty-somethings wrote it!
when i was twenty-something i certainly wasnt so cerebral.
It's so fun to watch this dude cause his reactions are genuine. Man oh man you can't overstate the power of pink floyd.
This Group is another one of those where every single musician was a true master of his craft, this is a epic album and always will be.
All except Roger Waters, he was just a master wordsmith and conceptualist with a great sense of timing, but his playing abilities with regards to playing instruments was nothing more than average at best.
Gotta hear this whole album, Dark Side of the Moon. Just 10 tracks. Spent 741 weeks on Billboard Top 40 (17 1/2 yrs). Probably best album ever made. Meant to be listened to all the way thru. It takes themes of life and make songs about them such as "Time", "Money", "Great Gig in the Sky" (about death), etc. It will open your eyes and mind, and change your life. Can't wait to see your face on " Great Gig in the Sky". I know that one is getting requested.
And remember like when Joe Dimaggio's 54 game hitting streak ended, the next day he started another 18 game streak. When it was announced that the album dropped out of the Billboard top 200, the following week it was back on and stayed in and out of there for quite a few years more. I think the total to recent times of over 1,500 weeks total, and over 40 million units sold.
And for the 20th anniversary Dark Side Of The Moon went back to #1.
The 741 weeks was only until 1988; as of March, 2018 that number was 937 weeks on the album charts.

my first record album i ever bought right after release along with a few masters editions. I played them on a Dual 701 with Shure type 3. Pioneer Amplifier, Pioneer 2 channel 10 band equalizer. Pioneer(not sure) reverb. 2 big Sansui 5 ways and 2 Kenwood 5 ways. State of the art back in 1975. I was in the Army living in the barracks and had (a lot to me discretionary) income. I lost it all in the Loma Preita Earthquake along with much of my newly purchased home a few miles from the epicenter.
@@MatthewPettyST1300 I bought this when it first came out in '73. Over the years I've owned on almost every type of audio since, 8-track, cassette, CD, Original Master Recording virgin vinyl and Original Master super audio CD.
@@vernhoke7730 Never too much of a good thing. As expensive as those Vinyl Masters are, boy are they worth it when you have equipment to handle their audio range. I've owned many from Pink Floyd all the way to SuperTramp.

JAMAL. Your face at the end of the song. This is my music. Glad you love it.

You are a GOOD HUMAN!
PEACE-OUT 🌎✨️
I was twelve years old the first time I heard Pink Floyd. My brother was a few years older than me and would watch me listening to The Beatles 24/7. He finally said "Bro, I know you love The Beatles and they're an incredible band but I want you to listen to something different with me but you have to promise me you'll listen to the entire album." I was like "ugghh, fine dude just put it on." He put on Dark Side of the Moon. It was like my entire world changed in that forty-two and a half minutes. Now I still love The Beatles and I always will but that one defining moment changed the way I looked at music forever. It got me hooked on my second favorite band ever and then he had the audacity to put Zeppelin on the turntable and fuck my mind up some more. The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin still my top three today. Thanks brohan. Love you man, miss you.
Mike K
Almost the exact thing happened with my little brother! I played Money for him. He’s been hooked ever since!
Your Bro done good by you ... he done real good.
My Dad... Who was a Country music musician and Disc jockey, gave me dark side of the moon and told me to listen... Changed my world!!!
Mike K my first was The Wall. I bought it at a yard sale in 1985 for $0.50 and still have it. I won’t buy a receiver without a phono input because of my Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin collection.
Love the story, Mike. May you and your brother live in peace
Some of the deepest lyrics ever. Every human deals with this very subject.
This is why we love prog rock. When it’s done right, it’s a journey of the soul.
Floyd still hits in it's own way.. Every single time almost 50 years later.
The majority if Pink Floyd fans will agree that this entire album must be listened to as a whole, as is true with Wish You Were Here and The Wall. The songs all are connected musically. For individual songs, Echoes, One of These Days, Hey You.
And Animals in my opinion
@@crazyfingers19 It's definitely a singular concept, but the big three all can stand on their own with no loss of impact.
@@johncampbell756 without a doubt.
I was setting up a Pink Floyd play list on Spotify. I've never had such a hard time. On several of their albums (Dark side and Wall) how do you leave out songs? They are both designed to effectively by one long song.
Pink floyd is an experience. You become part of the music.
My first experience with Pink Floyd was laser Floyd in the mid 70's. Blown Away
@@scottsapp1526 i grew up with pink floyd. Our Christmas music was dark side of the moon. So great.
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way." Certainly in my family.
Time catches up to all of us. born in 1951 you feel it.
The way that guitar solo comes in and just pops you in the face, so awesome!!!!!
First heard Dark Side of the Moon when I was 14 and my aunt and cousins and I drove up to Northern Wisconsin from Chicago. We listened to the whole thing on a loop over the hours that it took us to drive there. No one spoke. I felt like I time-traveled on that drive and had been 'somewhere else' for the whole time we were in the car. Y'know, like how people have missing time when they're abducted by aliens?
My favorite song of all time. I teach high school history and it's the anthem of my life's journey.
Hahaha just loved watching your expressions whilst reacting to this piece of genius music. The lyrics here are best you will ever hear put to music in my opinion. Floyd are numero uno.
I was trippin on "shrooms" the first time I heard this. 47 years later it still haunts my soul.
So glad you're doing Pink Floyd....be ready for an experience. I used to close my door and turn out all the lights and just listen for hours...drove my mom nuts!!!! Pleeeeaase always have your earphones in when listening to them!!
Absolutely shattering lyrics, words everyone should live and learn, before its too late.
throw us down
The 1st of March 2023 is the 50th anniversary of the release of Darkside of The Moon .. I also turn 50 this year.
By the way, your t-shirt was perfect for this review .. IT'S ALL GOOD 🤩 We all discover this masterpiece in our own way, on our own journey .. on our own TIME ⏰⏳🕰️
I love Marvin Gaye, Sam and Dave and Otis Redding.
Love your channel!
Jamal gotta play every song....non stop to really appreciate the masterpiece this is . You'll be a floyd fan forever after this .
The whole album "Dark Side of the Moon" is perfection.
Best album of all time.
"I feel like I'm being hypnotized". You nailed it. The essence of Pink Floyd, led by the astonishing guitar of David Gilmour. Love your vids.
You are doing a service. You allow me to experience my culture fresh again, like for the first time.
Dark Side of the Moon is one of the very few perfect albums. It"s lyrics reflected what we we're going through at the time. I have been listening to it for 48 years and it still packs the same emotional impact as when I was 16.
Robin Reiley I said the exact same thing .
I'm 67 now. The sun has raced and come up behind me many times now. I am shorter of breath and much closer to death these days no doubt. The intro into this song is truly amazing with the contrast of the bongo like drums, bass guitar and the high pitched chimes. This is the music I grew up with and enjoyed. Rock and Roll from the 60's and 70's was fantastic. It was a truly mystical time to be young. But like the song says we all got caught up in daily life and chained to responsibilities from choices we made such as starting a family and choices that were already pre-set such as a career and the expected 9 - 5 job. And time was oblivious to us and passed us by and here we are in our golden years never really believing it would ever happen to us. There were many bands that had amazing influence on daily living with dynamic lyrics and guitar play like Floyd such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and others. It was a magical musical time of creativity in music and lyrics which does not exist in todays musical artists and bands. But one thing I am sure of. Because of the infinite number of musical arrangements that can be made from 8 simple notes that we know as the scale, I believe that the greatest music ever composed hasn't even been created yet. I'm sure I will be dead and buried by that time. But I know it will be an amazing adventure for those young people who will be alive at that time. It certainly was for us back then.
Right on😎
One of the greatest guitar solos ever composed and recorded. Behold David Gilmour!
The guitar sings.
River Alph did you know, the most money EVER paid for a guitar in history at auction ,3.5 million was David Gilmores he used to record this album.
Maiko100876 indeed I do. I bought the Christie’s Auction catalogue of David’s guitar collection. That’s all I could afford!
I still get chills listening to this song and this album, dozens of times later. Can’t imagine hearing it for the first time.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded and written
When he said he feels like he's getting taken in a ride...I'm like you have no clue dude. You need to listen to the whole album
There is NO way he has not heard this song before.
2:35, "Takin' me for a ride." Wait until you hear 'Echoes', that's a whole journey.
Hiya Jamel, The Dark Side Of The Moon was on the UK album chart for 15 years 1973 until 1988, just to let you know, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
Check out Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Epic tune....
Definitely. I saw them live my senior year of high school in 1994 Pulse Tour (minus Roger Waters) and still to this day, one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Glad I got the chance to do that.
@@angiejackson5749 I saw that tour in 1994 at RFK stadium in DC and still to this day the best show I've ever seen hands down
A masterpiece for sure.
Absolutely! I would follow that up with Dogs. Not nearly as "dreamy" but musically it is technically one of the best they ever made.
Try Great gig in the sky. Or Comfortably numb, try the Pulse live show for an amazing solo.
Pulse live for the solo, studio for great gig in the sky. Then you can do the live version of great gig later.
is he ready for the great gig? It may = mind blown lol
You listen to 'Great Gig in the Sky' you will cry your eyes out...
Delicate Sound of Thunder tour with Rachel Fury is the best live version of Great Gig in the Sky
@P Nomis ... and Run Like Hell!
Out of all of the great things about this song, this is perhaps my favorite.
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way."
DAMN.
The death line at the end is the most profound part of this song. "Far away beyond the field, the tolling of the iron bell, calls the faithful to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic spells."
Spent my 20s incarcerated. Listened to these lyrics and never looked back
Good man!
what'd yah do
Remember buying Dark Side of The Moon as a 14 year old in 1973 when it came out. It's been a constant companion to me nigh on 50 years and I never tire of it. Always great to see someone hearing it for the first time and really digging it. You have entered the Floyd Universe and there are more delights awaiting you. Peace.
If you look at the lyrics of (Time), keeping in mind, (Breathe and On The Run)
, previous tracks,
The first part is about a younger man, "kicking around", wasting his time, with "time to kill today".
"Then one day you find 10 years have got behind you" - he never started his dreams, his life.
"So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking" - trying to make up for lost time,
but it's a fruitless effort..."the sun is the same in a relative way but your older"
The universe marches on but he's now older, and "one day closer to death".
"Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time, and plans that either come to naught,
or half a page of scribbled lines" - you still have those dreams, those aspirations,
but now life seems to interfere or you just can no longer make the effort,
and instead merely "hanging on in quiet desperation".
"the time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say"
he's now dying and thought he'd leave behind a better legacy than he has,
but instead is leaving behind so many things unaccomplished.
Don’t forget that this is the song following (Breathe and On The Run)
So (Time) seems to be the result of: (Run, rabbit run, Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done, Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly, But only if you ride the tide.
And balanced on the biggest wave, You race towards an early grave).
And next; The Great Gig In The Sky…
Nailed it.
