These guys know that, everyone always tell them, and everyone tells every reactor channel that this album needs to be listened to in one go. These guys even say that after the reaction, if you watched it. But that's not the way reaction channels work, they break albums down by song. Sometimes reactors do an entire album, but that is less common.
"the paper holds their folded faces to the floor....and everyday the paperboy brings more .." What a brilliant way to say how our singer here is seeing how crazy the world is becoming ....love that line!
The band leader originally was Syd Barrett. He literally did lose his mind due to mental illness complicated by LSD abuse. The albums prior to this and the inception of the band was mainly Syd. Many of their compositions were paying homage to Syd after his mental departure. Shine on you crazy Diamond and so forth comes to mind. Its quite a story. Also you have to remember that there was nothing digital at the time this came out and really no one had ever heard such "head" music as this. Quite a thing to get it home and put on headphones and burn one with friends and close the eyeballs and check this out for the first time, I have to tell you.
Eclipse is one of my favorites. Sphemus was commentary on the original song: Whenever I listen to The Dark Side Of The Moon, I like how "Eclipse" ties everything tackled in the previous tracks, at least in the lyrics. In fact, this is how I imagine the lyrics reference all the previous tracks on this album... Breathe (In The Air) - All that you touch - And all that you see - All that you taste - All you feel The Great Gig In The Sky - And all that you love - And all that you hate - All you distrust - All you save Money - And all that you give - And all that you deal - And all that you buy - Beg, borrow, or steal Any Colour You Like - And all you create - And all you destroy - And all that you do - And all that you say On The Run - And all that you eat - And everyone you meet Us & Them - And all that you slight - And everyone you fight Time - And all that is now - And all that is gone - And all that's to come Brain Damage - And everything under the sun is in tune - But the sun is eclipsed by the moon Speak To Me - There is no dark side in the moon, really. - Matter of fact, it's all dark.
You are correct, All their albums are recorded to play nonstop from start to finish, each song blending into the next, and it sets some first time listening people back a bit, I think that it's awesome !! I really enjoy being able to turn my phone off, lower the lights in the room, put my headphones on, get comfortable, start the album and layback and allow my Heart, Spirit and Soul come into harmony again, to me I don't listen to Pink Floyd, it is an experience for me, I really enjoy witnessing people have their first Pink Floyd experience, their reactions entering the Pink Floyd rabbit hole is great to see, it's the start of a journey that I'm sure each and every one of them will take, and be most greatful in taking. God Bless
Greatest ending of greatest album by the greatest band! EVER!!!I've been listening DSOTM since I was 16! Now I'm 45! I'm getting older, this album is timeless🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑🙌
Glad we could all meet up on the dark side of the moon. "One of These Days" would be next on my list and looking forward to seeing Smokey's take on the lyrics! Just checked out your reaction to "Great Gig in the Sky" from 4 years ago. I think Hollywood liked it...
This is what Google says is what Dark Side Of The Moon is about: Developed during live performances before recording began, it was conceived as a concept album that would focus on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle, and also deal with the mental health problems of the former band member Syd Barrett, who had departed the group in 1968. Absolutely one of my favorite albums ever and possibly from Pink Floyd. Honored to have been able to see it played live in its entirety during the '94 Division Bell tour! 💙👊🏼
I saw them live in Toronto in 88 and their stage show was like no other. You can't go wrong with Floyd .Great reaction and Peace out guys ☮️ ✌️ 🙏 One of my turns is fire from the Wall.😊
The song is broadly about Syd, and the impact of his visit to the studio on Roger Waters. As to the backing vocals, a lot of the vocals on tracks other than 'Great Gig in the Sky', were done by an American female trio called The Blackberries. They also worked with Ringo Starr of the Beatles. edit: and I am a long-time fan, since 1979 when I got The Wall on vinyl for my 11th birthday. Personally, I love some of the early stuff. I don't have a singular "favourite", all of their music is perfect at the right time. One of my favourite albums is 'Obscured by Clouds'. And some of their earlier stuff is more jazzy, and some is way more psychedelic.
I think the song Brain Damage is about Roger Waters being afraid of losing his mind, with some references to Syd. Like the line about the band playing different tunes, which is something that really happened during one of Syd's final concerts.
This was definitely a fear of his. He even mentions it during his last tour where he talks up some of the songs before he sings them. There was a moment he said where he went to a very dark terrifying place and was not sure if he was ever going to come back.
Aaaahhh, timeless, great way to start the day...Pink Floyd always makes me think of mom, she loved them so much before her stroke...now her tolerance of music is so weird and she doesn't listen to it much anymore...but today's a good day to try some Floyd for her again, thanks for the inspiration!! 💙💚✌🧡♥️🖤🌙💜😎✨
There is an interesting line in the song, Shine On You Crazy Diamond: "Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there..." This Leads me to believe that Roger felt there is a thin line between sanity and insanity. So, on the Dark Side of the Moon they explore all of the daily, common issues everyone faces in life and the madness that ensues.
Multiple background singers and the singers have changed throughout the years. One thing I love about Pink Floyd is their use of background voclas. The lady who sings Great Gig is Claire Torry on the album. Amazing! But, I gotta say, my favorite version of that song is from Pulse. Hard to pick a favorite album but definitely Animals and Echoes have to be in there, too. Saw David Gilmour last week. Incredible!
I always thought it was about Syd. I mean, losing a friend to mental illness is hard--when I was younger, in my twenties, I lost one of my dear friends into a really dark space and he never really came out of it. I had to eventually let go of him. But I think about him a lot, even thirty-some years later. My fave albums: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here.
Probably my favorite duel song combo from any band from this music era. "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" being a close second. Around that time there seemed to be a lot of them.
You guys gotta check out the song Echoes from the album Meddle. Personally, I think that one song is better than the entirety of Dark Side of the Moon. It's their longest track, but such an awesome experience. I highly recommend a lyric video with that too (in fact, I've requested this song via Patreon before)
A stunning album, no question. I remember a girlfriend playing it for me in 1973. It's importance and my appreciation have only deepened since. The singer on 'Great Gig...' is Clare Torry, who only received recognition and songwriting credit for her improvised performance, edited from two complete and one partial take which she interrupted feeling she was only repeating herself, in 2005, and an undisclosed settlement, having received £30 for her original work(!!). Full album review? I'm here for that. Deuces, dudes. ✌🏼🤪🎶🔥🍁🔥✨️🕊
When my friends and I were in college our local FM station we would have Tuesday night get the LED out and Pink Floyd night from 9:00 until midnight and we would smoke Mexican Brown weed and get transported to another dimension.
The song "Echoes" was on the "Meddle" album from 1971, and it is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. "Echoes" and "One Of These Days" are both amazing songs from that album, but, to be fair, the rest of the album was just okay. Thankfully those two songs make up about 75 percent of the album. It is true that the song "Brain Damage / Eclipse" was at least partially about Syd Barrett. The band (and especially Roger Waters) liked the idea so much that he later wrote "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" about him also (although David Gilmour technically started composing the riff of that song).
I think it's time you guys did Echoes (both part 1 & 2) from Live At Pompeii. (concert film, the track is split in two so part 1 opens the film and part 2 closes it) It is the very definition of Epic.
I heard Roger say he was walking one day and came accross a famous building (that I forget the name of) and there was big perfectly green lawn in front with a sign saying, Don’t walk on the grass and thought, “Yeah was kind of person would want to walk on the grass…. Only a lunatic would do that…” That’s what led to the line the lunatic is on the grass.
That music you heard at the very end of the album way in the background was actually Paul McCartney recording in another studio at Abbey road that got caught on to this!!!
It's not directly about Syd, but obviously from the band's experience of seeing Syd succumb to mental illness and his deterioration, it had a big influence on them. It's more about mental illness/insanity generally. The lines about the lunatics are in my hall, the paper holds their folded faces to the floor, and everyday the paperboy brings more, are obviously a reference to politicians - so they are calling them lunatics, too.
"There's no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark" Quote from the Irish studio doorman, Gerry O'Driscoll, when he asked Roger Waters what the album they were preparing was going to be called.
This album and specifically these last two songs and us + them are really interesting to pick apart for me. All about perspectives and motives and reasoning but the final bit of saying Everything under the Sun is in tune but the Sun is eclipsed by the moon to me seems to be in reference to the Dark side of the Moon being the place where we have dark forebodings in our head but the fact that we eclipse all of the things we care and don't care for by eclipsing the sun with the dark moon. The even more beautiful part is what is said shortly afterwards though, "there is no dark side of the moon, matter of fact it's all dark" is hard to initially interpret but the conclusion I've come to is that nothing is more or less important to time and the world as a whole. That by realizing this we can put focus into the things we want to preserve because no one else will and trying to hide in the dark and hurt corners of our mind won't matter to the physical world so we need to put that mental effort into preserving what we want in order to feel fulfilled because all that we see and fight and eat and feel are right here, so why should we continue to overshadow the beauty of life with the negativity.
Yall ever do The Darkside of Oz? Watch The Wizard of Oz on mute while listening to the whole Darkside of The Moon album.....it gets crazy lol press play when the MGM lion roars the THIRD time.
That was the end of the album. You should NOT have heard faint music over the ending heartbeat. Clare Torry sang on The Great Gig in the Sky only. Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, Liza Strike, and Barry St. John sang all the other backing vocals.
think of each Pink Floyd Album(not all but definitely Roger Waters era Floyd) as a book, and each song a chapter. The whole album telling a complete story
It’s a statement on the political and power mongers during that period, their insane policies and the press coverage following promoting them as beneficial to the populace, Roger didn’t sugarcoat his views.
The Eclipse piece was used to great effect as the closing track at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony - awesome, unforgettable stuff ❤❤ th-cam.com/video/WS2Xw1xr7o4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6RSDnUiu2j6MkCZX
Rogers songs are usually in 3rd person and that truly how schizophrenia feels I could be sitting there talking to someone and that's how they see it but how I see it I'm off to the side watching the conversation schizophrenia is a word that gets thrown out a lot but unless your close with a person with it people can't ever understand what day to day life is I seriously doubt I'll live as long as sid not because the bullshit in my head but my size I'm really close to andre the Giants height and even closer to his age of death and I see a wheel hair in my future over y back issues I'm all kinds of fd up
It's not so much *about* Syd Barrett as it is inspired by Barrett. Having lost his close friend to insanity, Syd's tragedy had a deep effect on Roger's writing during this period. Roger who himself felt like he was going insane for a time during this period. Roger Waters is a brilliant lyricist but if you follow the band, he undoubtedly has his own emotional challenges that would eventually lead to his leaving the band. But it led to him writing some of the deepest darkest and most acclaimed lyrics in Rock in the interim. The phrase "tortured artist" affect has never been more apropos.
This is objectively the greatest album ever made, it’s not my number 1 favorite (that goes to Lateralus haha) and I’m not one to point out that something’s good just because it’s sold well or popular, but THERE IS A REASON why this album is the SECOND greatest selling album of all time behind MJ’s thriller, and the NUMBER 1 selling rock album of all time, it’s perfect in every way imaginable
This is why we say that you don't listen to Pink Floyd songs - you listen to Pink Floyd albums.
The singer from Great Gig in the Sky is Clare Torry. She did not sing backup on any other PF songs.
This album is best if you listen to it straight through in its entirety. Each song seamlessly transitions into the next.
These guys know that, everyone always tell them, and everyone tells every reactor channel that this album needs to be listened to in one go. These guys even say that after the reaction, if you watched it.
But that's not the way reaction channels work, they break albums down by song. Sometimes reactors do an entire album, but that is less common.
Straight through, but not necessarily straight.
This album is best listened to however you want to listen to it
"the paper holds their folded faces to the floor....and everyday the paperboy brings more .."
What a brilliant way to say how our singer here is seeing how crazy the world is becoming ....love that line!
The perfect ending to a perfect album and my favourite of theirs. Nick Mason's drumming really outstanding here. Cheers.
I agree but I've always wished that the drumming had been further forward in the mix
Iconic. We all heard this 1000 times growing up.
I'll add, 1000 times and it still doesn't get old.
The band leader originally was Syd Barrett. He literally did lose his mind due to mental illness complicated by LSD abuse. The albums prior to this and the inception of the band was mainly Syd. Many of their compositions were paying homage to Syd after his mental departure. Shine on you crazy Diamond and so forth comes to mind. Its quite a story.

Quite a thing to get it home and put on headphones and burn one with friends and close the eyeballs and check this out for the first time, I have to tell you.
Lest we not forget Darkside of The Moon was on the Billboard 500 for over 18 years!!
It hit 20 years and counting. Still sells 3-9000 copies a month!
Im a gardener and this always makes me smile and think of cutting lawns😂😂😂😂
You're listening to the best of the best with Floyd, thanks guys 👍
Madness is definitely one of the main threads of Dark Side. Syd haunts all of Floyds work, but especially DSOTM, Wish You Were Here and The Wall
Thanks for reacting to Brain Damage and Eclipse by Pink Floyd❤
Eclipse is one of my favorites.
Sphemus was commentary on the original song:
Whenever I listen to The Dark Side Of The Moon, I like how "Eclipse" ties everything tackled in the previous tracks, at least in the lyrics. In fact, this is how I imagine the lyrics reference all the previous tracks on this album...
Breathe (In The Air)
- All that you touch
- And all that you see
- All that you taste
- All you feel
The Great Gig In The Sky
- And all that you love
- And all that you hate
- All you distrust
- All you save
Money
- And all that you give
- And all that you deal
- And all that you buy
- Beg, borrow, or steal
Any Colour You Like
- And all you create
- And all you destroy
- And all that you do
- And all that you say
On The Run
- And all that you eat
- And everyone you meet
Us & Them
- And all that you slight
- And everyone you fight
Time
- And all that is now
- And all that is gone
- And all that's to come
Brain Damage
- And everything under the sun is in tune
- But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
Speak To Me
- There is no dark side in the moon, really.
- Matter of fact, it's all dark.
I believe the transition between tracks is when the laughter stops and the organ ramps up
You are correct, All their albums are recorded to play nonstop from start to finish, each song blending into the next, and it sets some first time listening people back a bit, I think that it's awesome !!

@@starrroberts-n9hNot all of their albums have the songs flow together.
Greatest ending of greatest album by the greatest band! EVER!!!I've been listening DSOTM since I was 16! Now I'm 45! I'm getting older, this album is timeless🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑🙌
I vote you play the whole thing at once!
Perfect songs. Perfect album. Never fails to create a sense of awe.
Glad we could all meet up on the dark side of the moon. "One of These Days" would be next on my list and looking forward to seeing Smokey's take on the lyrics! Just checked out your reaction to "Great Gig in the Sky" from 4 years ago. I think Hollywood liked it...
When I was a kid, my dad was listening to Pink Floyd. My mom, too.
Pink floyd rules.😊🎉
The keyboard run when these songs transition is soooop dope!
My favorite part of the album thanks!! Pure genius.
Almost four decades of listening to this song guys and it still makes my eyes swell up and flow with tears. Simply perfection.
Meddle is the album. Echoes is the name of the longest song on that album.
Yea. Like I love dark side, but meddle is just well...meddle. and if you know you know
This is what Google says is what Dark Side Of The Moon is about:

Appreciate ya. Thanks for sharing.
I had the album timed up to the eclipse earlier this year, and it played out perfectly. It was freaking sweet!!!!
One of my favourites. Pink Floyd is an experience 🤘🏼
Released in 1973! One the greatest. Selling England By The Pound was released in 73 too. It was good to be a music loving teen ✨️🎶✨️
My favorite Floyd record. Animals
I saw them live in Toronto in 88 and their stage show was like no other. You can't go wrong with Floyd .Great reaction and Peace out guys ☮️ ✌️ 🙏 One of my turns is fire from the Wall.😊

Saw them June 28 1975 in Hamilton Ontario It's best being high and listening start to finish, great reaction.
There is an interesting line in the song, Shine On You Crazy Diamond: "Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there..." This Leads me to believe that Roger felt there is a thin line between sanity and insanity. So, on the Dark Side of the Moon they explore all of the daily, common issues everyone faces in life and the madness that ensues.
Morning guys! Love love this album!Floyd is the sh*t!Good song! Great choice from the patreon member:)😊
The full album play through would be cool as hell
'And everything under the sun is in tune.
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.'
🔥 🔥 🔥
My favourite line is “there’s someone in my head but it’s not me “
I love the last line of the album "and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon"
Sometimes I think exactly that 🥴
Roger Waters saw a Keep Off The Grass sign at a park. He thought that was too weird, as if you were crazy to walk on the grass.
Multiple background singers and the singers have changed throughout the years. One thing I love about Pink Floyd is their use of background voclas. The lady who sings Great Gig is Claire Torry on the album. Amazing! But, I gotta say, my favorite version of that song is from Pulse.
Hard to pick a favorite album but definitely Animals and Echoes have to be in there, too.
Saw David Gilmour last week. Incredible!
DSOTM 943 Plus weeks on the charts. A record that will never be broken.
Whole album listen would be AWESOME !!
I always thought it was about Syd. I mean, losing a friend to mental illness is hard--when I was younger, in my twenties, I lost one of my dear friends into a really dark space and he never really came out of it.

Probably my favorite duel song combo from any band from this music era. "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" being a close second. Around that time there seemed to be a lot of them.
OMG. Perfect song title for this week.
me personally, i love “ THE WALL”. i think it’s just what you first heard and learned from Floyd, cause there all genius.
You guys gotta check out the song Echoes from the album Meddle. Personally, I think that one song is better than the entirety of Dark Side of the Moon. It's their longest track, but such an awesome experience. I highly recommend a lyric video with that too (in fact, I've requested this song via Patreon before)
"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun". I would like to see you two react to it.
A stunning album, no question. I remember a girlfriend playing it for me in 1973. It's importance and my appreciation have only deepened since.
The singer on 'Great Gig...' is Clare Torry, who only received recognition and songwriting credit for her improvised performance, edited from two complete and one partial take which she interrupted feeling she was only repeating herself, in 2005, and an undisclosed settlement, having received £30 for her original work(!!).

DO IT! Front to back, listen to the whole thing.
Another one - the Atom Heart Mother suite.

It is the very definition of Epic.
I love love love PF!
Absolutely epic finale to perhaps the greatest album of all time....
This song is the best song ever about the newspaper.
The Wall It's a movie with intermissions of someone's life !
The name Pink Floyd comes from the given names of two prominent blues musicians, who Barrett loved: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
I heard Roger say he was walking one day and came accross a famous building (that I forget the name of) and there was big perfectly green lawn in front with a sign saying, Don’t walk on the grass and thought, “Yeah was kind of person would want to walk on the grass…. Only a lunatic would do that…”
That’s what led to the line the lunatic is on the grass.
That music you heard at the very end of the album way in the background was actually Paul McCartney recording in another studio at Abbey road that got caught on to this!!!
It's not directly about Syd, but obviously from the band's experience of seeing Syd succumb to mental illness and his deterioration, it had a big influence on them. It's more about mental illness/insanity generally.

Yes, do a video over the complete album.
Check out footage of Eric Brann with Iron Butterfly with his Mosrite electric guitar.
Album is about life and death and the period in-between in our broken western world (from 1973 at that time).
Please react to "Juno Reactor" or "Massive Attack"
I think Eclipse starts at 9:15-ish (?) but I could be wrong
Yes
“When the sun passes in front of the moon” 😂
"There's no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark" Quote from the Irish studio doorman, Gerry O'Driscoll, when he asked Roger Waters what the album they were preparing was going to be called.
Reference to syd. All that's needed was to be synced to wizard of oz. This got played million times on boston radio stations especially on wbcn
Careful with that axe Eugene from Pompeii would b a great choice to react to.
Syd Barrett was the person with brain damage. Yeah, you guys should definitely do DSOTM in one, or two reactions.
This album and specifically these last two songs and us + them are really interesting to pick apart for me. All about perspectives and motives and reasoning but the final bit of saying Everything under the Sun is in tune but the Sun is eclipsed by the moon to me seems to be in reference to the Dark side of the Moon being the place where we have dark forebodings in our head but the fact that we eclipse all of the things we care and don't care for by eclipsing the sun with the dark moon.

Capitol 11163 - still remember the catalog # from the 70’s
Pretty sure the "paper" holding their folded faces to the floor is a reference to LSD.
Like number eleven, hellz yea
You guys are funny....😊
Yall ever do The Darkside of Oz? Watch The Wizard of Oz on mute while listening to the whole Darkside of The Moon album.....it gets crazy lol press play when the MGM lion roars the THIRD time.
That was the end of the album. You should NOT have heard faint music over the ending heartbeat.
Clare Torry sang on The Great Gig in the Sky only. Doris Troy, Lesley Duncan, Liza Strike, and Barry St. John sang all the other backing vocals.
think of each Pink Floyd Album(not all but definitely Roger Waters era Floyd) as a book, and each song a chapter. The whole album telling a complete story
Unconscious Power
Look how long this album stayed on the charts. Record amount. Like 943 weeks?
It’s a statement on the political and power mongers during that period, their insane policies and the press coverage following promoting them as beneficial to the populace, Roger didn’t sugarcoat his views.
Exactly
The Eclipse piece was used to great effect as the closing track at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony - awesome, unforgettable stuff ❤❤
th-cam.com/video/WS2Xw1xr7o4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6RSDnUiu2j6MkCZX
Nothing comes close to this album, its Timeless!
Pink Floyd IS religion 💖
It's progressive, unlike religion. 😁
It’s hard for me to choose best album. Dark side of the moon is amazing, but I am torn between the animals album and the wall album
Rogers songs are usually in 3rd person and that truly how schizophrenia feels I could be sitting there talking to someone and that's how they see it but how I see it I'm off to the side watching the conversation schizophrenia is a word that gets thrown out a lot but unless your close with a person with it people can't ever understand what day to day life is I seriously doubt I'll live as long as sid not because the bullshit in my head but my size I'm really close to andre the Giants height and even closer to his age of death and I see a wheel hair in my future over y back issues I'm all kinds of fd up

The phrase "tortured artist" affect has never been more apropos.
I think you can go back further to Steppenwulf, Iron Butterfly and Blue Cheer.
Please can you react to epitaph by king crimson keep up the great work love the channel
You think maynard from tool was inspired by Pink Floyd?
Everyone was inspired by Floyd.
There is no dark side of the moon. It's all dark.
These are the last two songs.
There's someone in my head, but it's not me
This is objectively the greatest album ever made, it’s not my number 1 favorite (that goes to Lateralus haha) and I’m not one to point out that something’s good just because it’s sold well or popular, but THERE IS A REASON why this album is the SECOND greatest selling album of all time behind MJ’s thriller, and the NUMBER 1 selling rock album of all time, it’s perfect in every way imaginable
I would just hate to pick random songs from this particular album.
the Best is Shine on Crazy Diamond part 6-9 smoke a J and shroom hahahaha!!!!
Matter of fact it's all dark. ☠
wait wait just gotta spark up first.....ok....now play 🚬😎
