I got married the year this album was released, we played it constantly. My wife died last year (2021) after 48 happy years together. I go into my workshop and play it very loud and hope she can hear it. I'm 75 and still love this album.
Im 68 now, i remeber the first time i listened to dark side of the moon back in the seventys, in a basement flat in earls court London, four of us had ridden up on our bikes from cornwall, my brother, my brother in law and Mike Fuller, it was his sisters Lizzys flat, she gave us a small bag of weed which we smoked, WOW, ill never forget when eclipse was playing, gravity was no more and we were floating horizontally around the room. Peace to everyone who got high just listening to this masterpiece.

A classic, i was too young to remember the release, but I sure grew up on it. My dad played the vinyl and played the heck out of the cassette in the car. Still listen to the CD to this day. Good memories
81 times around the sun I are. Listening to this all those years later. Amin an old Motel in Spokane, Wa. right now. Been living out of my suitcase the last 20 years. Wandering the earth. This music is a very bright spot in my insane life. Wa living in the ghost town of Jerome, Arizona when it came out. First hippie there in 1967. Round and round and round and round..........peyote with the Navahos back then. Acid in canyons and in S.F. Delivering all my kids without electricity and phone. Smuggling Hash out of Israel. Many girlfriends. 80 trips to Mexico, Guatemala, Belize. Years of living in Switzerland, Hawaii, Philippines, round and round. Viet Nam Vet. Three in the morning. Time slips into the future. Becoming the rocks, trees, cactus riding through the desert on a bike with no name. Oh, yea, it all happened and much, much, much more.....I'll see you on the dark side of the moon or probably saw you at the many Rainbow gatherings. There is someone in my head and it is ME!
I'm a combat Veteran also. You weren't chasing something. You were running from something. I'm 64. Never went to Nam. I was on Grenada 83. Dessert storm 90-91 I led a similar life. So I understand you brother. 2nd 504th 82nd AIRBORNE.

In 1974 I was a 20 year old from Canada hitch-hiking through the South Island of New Zealand. I hadn't heard much of my favourite music since I'd left home months earlier. One night I got picked up by a young guy in a van with a great stereo system. I stretched out in the back and listened to this album while gazing at the full moon over the Pacific Ocean on the coast road. A nice memory.
I was driving down the road with my then 8 year old daughter when a song from DSOM comes on and she started singing all the words. I asked her how did she know this song and she said “dad you listen to it all the time”, she’s still right to this day.
Dark side of the moon was one of my father's favorite albums. I lost my father unexpectedly only two and a half weeks ago. He was only 61 years old. I come to this video to try to feel him near me.
Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album, and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. In 2012, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
I believe one day Syd's path will come to meet Pink Floyd again and as a result of their different paths , when they do come together they will produce music of this quality Forever. St Michael.
@@jordhuga271 very true. I have mental health issues. The medications I've had to take over the years which have left me feeling like taking my life. But now l can honestly say I'm in a pretty good place. Taking tablets with practically no side effects. Stuff still goes on , but that's life. Take a day at a time and carry on having dreams of what God has promised for those of us who Love Him. " St Michael.
I well remember the first time I heard this album. It was about 9:00pm one evening in 1975. There were 4 or 5 of us, 15 to 17 years of age, hanging out at a friends mobile home in rural central Arkansas USA when another friend walked in with the album saying, “You guys gotta hear this album I just bought!” The album had already been out for 2 years but none of us had ever heard it before that night (obviously Arkansas is behind the times with everything getting to Arkansas late). Never had any album of music ever had the kind of initial impact this one did on me. At our first listen, we were all enthralled and in absolute awe! It was INCREDIBLE! When the last heartbeat faded we were all sitting in stunned silence, no one saying anything for a few minutes as we were all letting everything we had just heard soak in deeper as we considered and thought about the messages of life we’d just been hit with. Then somebody (I think it was me) said, “PLAY THAT AGAIN!” and we all sat there again thru the whole album listening intently, just as enthralled and ‘into it’ as we were the first time. I mean we all REALLY sat there listening - no one interrupting the music - no one attempting to talk about anything other than the occasional “WOW!” or “DANG that guitar sounds SO COOL!” or, like when David sang Roger’s words, “and then one day you find, ten years have got behind you”, we all just looked at each other with wide-open awe in our eyes thinking, “DAMN, that’s deeeep!” as we felt the weight of the prophetic truth in those inspired words. And here we are now with FORTY-SEVEN YEARS having got behind us since hearing that line for the first time thinking then how it seemed like it would take forever for ten years to get behind us! Now, looking back, it seems like nearly half a century has gone by IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. WE NEEDED NO WEED OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE MUSIC AND THE LYRICS FOR US TO GET HIGH THAT NIGHT! I couldn’t get it out of my head and floated home that night with the words and music ringing in my ears and the experience/feeling resonating in my soul! The next few days I THIRSTED and HUNGERED to hear it all again and within days I bought the 8-track of the Dark Side Of The Moon album to play in my car (a pristine ‘71 Plymouth Barracuda, blue with white vinyl top and blue interior) on my 20 mile round-trip to high school each day. For the next couple of years I WORE THAT 8-TRACK OUT! 47 years later I’m STILL in awe of the genius of this classic album! It STILL stirs my soul! PiNK FLoYD’S Dark Side Of The Moon is a TIMELESS MASTERPIECE. It is AN EXPERIENCE.
I am high as fuck and I completely comprehend the emotions and the depth of what you wrote in that eloquent swath of English verbiage my 60 year old eyes have ever seen. As I listened to the smooth, enthralling groovy tones from the sax from “The Dark Side of the Moon”, playing the background, I realized that my highness was actually feeling better, it actually felt like I was getting higher as I read your words on this comment. Bravo Sir! Bravo!

@@TonyTube407 Thanks Tony. It was my pleasure to recall the experience of my first time hearing Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side Of The Moon” album. Thru the years since, I’ve often thought of that night. Apparently it made a significant imprint on me. It’s amazing to me that sitting down to listen to a single album has had such a lasting impact. It all now seems a bit like a dream. Life passes by so fast. So much of the theme of Time was/is couched in that singular masterful Pink Floyd composition called “THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”. That night when I first heard it, I was only 16 years old and most of my life was still in front of me, unknown, yet unlived, a mystery - like the elements of mystery embedded into the composition of the album: the heavy footfalls of a breathless runner approaching thru the smoke and scattered glowing embers of a plane wreck. The lone runner’s footsteps draw near, pass quickly by, and continue on alone into the darkness of the night, the sound fading in the distance… Who IS the runner? What is he running from? WHY is he running? And, WHERE IS HE GOING - and why in such a hurry???… Now, nearly half a century later, I discover that THE RUNNER WAS/IS ME! Unstopped by the crashes and wreckage of my life, I’ve run thru it all and continued on running thru the night. Most of the mystery of what my life held in store for me when I first heard DSotM 48 years ago in 1975 at age 16, is no longer a mystery. The themes of The Dark Side Of The Moon involving “TIME”, the quest for success/“MONEY”, and the many other stresses of life that for some might lead to various degrees of “MADNESS” - most of it is now in my past. I’ve LIVED it. Most of my life has come and gone. This year “[I] FIND [64] YEARS HAVE GOT BEHIND ME”. Now I “run and I run to catch up with the Sun but it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind me again. The Sun is the same in a relative way but I’m older: shorter of breath and 64 years closer to death”. The only mystery of my life yet remaining is in what manner will I leave it, and when will THAT day arrive? But I’m not afraid of that. “No, I’m not frightened of dying. Any time will do. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it - you've got to go sometime"… So, still, I run and I run… And you’ve got to know - we all should know by now - there is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact…
My parents played this album all the time. When I was younger, I hated “Us & Them” for how slow it was. As an adult, I absolutely love it. “Any Colour You Like” is my second fav Pink Floyd after “Echoes”. FloydForever!!! Such AMAZING music!!
Headphones excellent, yes. But I always preferred lying on the floor with my four speakers positioned around me and playing it loud enough to FEEL it vibrating my body. Amazing.
@@MoreLifePlease man i'd say that's even better than headphones, having every note and every strum and every amazing lyric just flow into you, sounds like a tripper's dream come true
I'm only 14 so I wasn't around when this came out, but this is an absolutely INCREDIBLE 4-track run. There really is nothing else like it. And I don't think there ever will be.
Really great to hear that the magic of Pink Floyd still moves through the years for many new fans to experience. The album Dark Side of the Moon, which was released just about 50 years ago - March 1, 1973 - has sold well over Fifty Million copies since. Someone here in the comments said it best - "Pink Floyd is unbreakable"
I wish that music critics would stop referring to Pink Floyd as ," prog rock" they transcend any genre of music,they are completely unique,they can't be dumped in with other bands of the era,they are original, complete masters of musical story telling,will never be bettered, everyone can find there own meaning in there songs,now that is true talent !
Led zep is my #1 band however dark side of the moon is the most ultimately brilliant album I've ever heard. Been listening to it since I was 15 when it was 1st released.
I bought this record in '73 having never heard of Pink Floyd. The record salesman had never heard of them. No one I met had ever heard of them. It's like I had discovered a new band. 50 years later and I'm still listening to them.
Or the life you knew that has flown home. Suddenly. With no heads up. When your saying to your touchstone standing silent at their grave "man, you are so gone" and you can't find any connection & no drink or drug or thing or person can soften the blow of loss to ease you. Here comes Pink Floyd and opens your private door and you listen. Absorbing the many messages sewn expertly within each cord, and you get it. I love how their music always reaches people and me.
This album is an absolute masterpiece. Everytime I hear it I find some new sound or harmony hidden in the backround. My opinion is that is the best music ever recorded.
Imagine making one of the most critically acclaimed, musically important, and greatest albums of all time, and even THEN it’s still a question of which the best album in your discography is. What a legendary band
Very First album I ever purchased as a youth in 1973, 13 years old, cost me 6.95 of my hard earned money, that was a lot in 73.. I still have it and still listen to Floyd as loud as I can when the mood strikes me..
Rock bands of the 70s never get old and tired of listening too. They are as popular today as they were back then. Though a lot of us are getting older, the music still stands the test of time. Every time I hear a song from that era makes us feel young and floods our minds with memories of years gone by. The music still seems new. Not like the crap that is put out today.
i was just a sophomore in high school, just started burning, and upon hearing this album my life changed forever- thank you, pink- whichever one you are...
I remember listening to Pink Floyd as a teenager... but now that older I really appreciate the complications of the music... ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT.... this combo is one of my FAVORITES.... David Gilmore is a LEGEND...
I was 18 at the time this come out Everything about this song the sound of every keyboard , synthesizer, guitar effects , drum sound, vocal etc is second to none. The mix is perfect. No other band has equaled this !
This album is priceless and too beautiful for words. I’ve taken many trips with this band. Good experiences, not a single bad one. Good music to feed your mind and your soul.
It's hard to believe this album was released in 73!? I was born in 62,I was 18 when the wall was released in 80,all these songs were a part of my teenaged journey of despair,turmoil and incarceration....good times
I hear ya man,...me too, they were the main soundtrack to my life, and when incarcerated in 1980{17 yrs), "Time" started playing during our radio time, and "everyone" in the jail was screaming at the guards to crank up the volume,...and they had no problem with that because they loved it too!
Pink Floyd will forever be my favorite band until the day i die. I know they've broken up but their music will live on forever in our hearts. I don't want any talking or tears at my funeral. Just play Pink Floyd the whole time.
3 months to go and DSOTM turns 50....although I just turned 66, still very grateful for being a teen during much of the 70s when the best rock music ever was being created.
It really doesn’t. They are objectively one of the best bands of all time. I don’t trust the judgement of people who think they aren’t good (if that’s even possible).
I can remember listen to this album on my best friend’s new quad stereo system. During the song Money, when the cash register drawer came open and the coins landed in it making the loud noise, you could follow each drawer around the room of the 4 huge speakers. Was a great experience, that and the entire album. There will never be a band like them again!
Dark Side of The Moon is, if you ask me, the absolute best Pink Floyd album. Saw them only once, during The Division Bell tour. They were wonderful and played a lot from the Dark Side of The Moon album. Of all the concerts I've been to, the Pink Floyd will always remain my favorite.
My best bud got to see them in KC for the Wall Tour. He said they got too drunk and by the 3rd song they were sloshing beer on people in front of them and that didn't go over too well. He didn't remember much, so i'm guessing it was a Great Concert. I was grounded and couldn't go...still mad at my mom who passed last year at 95 y.o.
I remember the first time I heard this album. It was 1974 and I walked into a record store that was playing it. I have been musically mesmerized only twice in my life, both times when I was young. This was one of those times. I had no idea who I was listening to, but the music was carrying me away. I had to have this album at all costs! I checked with the clerk and he said it was the only copy they had. I said I desperately needed to "purchase this album, please!" They sold it to me at a discount price. I would have gladly paid triple. I was not walking out of that music store without DSOTM. The rest is history. What an album!
Tom K, you are truly synced with the cosmos! If I was behind the counter that day in that record store, and saw how much you dug what you were hearing, I would have GIVEN this record to you for FREE! You wouldn't buy any better promotion.
@@gertpols3183 1972, hearing The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again." That intro...! And then, that song! If a song ever defined rock for me, it was that one.
This whole album = senior yr, high school for me. To this day, 45 yrs later, it still bleeds the tension out of my shoulders. Although a cheerleader, I was, my final yr, something of a mild, closeted stoner. I just wanted to get to college, away from the high school drama. This album is still a blessed, chemical free, escape for me. I'll love it forever!
I was so excited to buy this in vinyl when it came out. Then I added a cassette. Two or three cassettes later on I bought my first cd . I've never been without a way to listen. I'm 73 now and I'm grateful for the music I've had along the way.
"Dark Side of the Moon" is to rock what William Shakespeare is to literature: there may be something greater, or more profound, but it will have to go through this album to get there.
Yes indeed. And if you could do a degree in Pink Floyd music, you, me and millions of other people would become professors in it. I am 71 and listen every day to them. Echoes performance in Gdansk is outstanding. Such a big part of my life.
@@mikewilliams3384 Meddle was the album that changed me: I discovered a whole other world of the mind and the senses with that album. After it, I discovered Atom Heart Mother, Can (especially "Aumgn," easily as revolutionary as anything Floyd did), early Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind, and later even Throbbing Gristle, shit like that, but it all began with Meddle and especially "Echoes." Life without Pink Floyd would be a mistake.
Greatest closing to an album ever made, eclipse gives me the goosebumps ... Like there's something inevitable is gonna happen and there's nothing you can do about it.
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time..." Is Henry McCullough, legendary Northern Irish guitarist and a man I was proud to call a friend for his last few years on this mortal coil.
The You tube algorithm decided to throw this in my roll just as midnight hit on my 40th birthday. Needless to say I lit one up sat back and enjoyed the ride
Bought this album June 1980, I was 14. I still have it with the two posters and two stickers which came inside. Bought it one month after I bought The Wall. Bought Wish You Where Here in August of that year and Animals in Dec. I still have all those albums plus all the others of my Floyd collections in the early 80's.
I was 13 years old when I heard this song. Born in 1964...my momma bought the whole album for me. I played it on my turntable and the album came with lyrics!
I did 20 in the USN. This album was on the charts pretty much the whole time. I owned it myself on vinyl, 8-track, casette, reel-to-reel and CD. And later I bought Pulse, of course.
I've been to countless floyd shows this is one of the most powerful songs ever recorded I want this played at my funeral I'm 58 now with lots of problems so not many years left this song brings tears to my eyes remembering my teens and twentys
When dark side came out 1973....it hit the streets , like a load of good Mexican brick weed . Everyone went and bought it immediate. And then told others about it and they bought it . That went on for 35yrs....never ever b4
when you listen to music like this, and i have been doing it since the late 70s., you get high without weed. Awesome!!! and the Synthed Guitar riff between 7:54 to 11:05 is just out of this world.
This is amongst my five all-time fav albums. This has brought me so much peace and joy over the years, especially entering the supposed twilight of the years...Not. Mucho Thanx Lawliet for sharing this positive vibe that we need. Us and them we're just like ordinary men~~~Rock On
My dad loved pink floyd particularly this album. He was always listening to it on repeat when we were growing up and I would just shrug them off and play my own music. He just passed away 3 months ago and I play pink floyd all the time now. I wish I had appreciated them more when he was here
Sorry for loss. The world is full of words....for me IF is the worst. If I said this....when alive. Hate If......can't say it again. My children believe in believing.
Pink Floid. Some of the most beautiful music on the planet. I have seen them live. The light show was outstanding. It worked well with the music. A visual and audio masterpiece.
@dhouse I mean sure but what you can do today blows their hardware out of the water. Funny how music arguably gotten simpler as the technology got better able to handle such complexity. If someone wanted to today and had the time and resources they could best this album. That’s nothing against the album, it’s basically a part of my being, but it has been 50 years…
I remember listening to this entire album for the first time with a girl and a few tabs of acid, we laid in my bed with some star lights making the room feel like we were in a planetarium. It was such a beautiful moment that at one point I started crying a little bit thinking about how I had everything I could ever want in that moment. I didn’t let her see that of course. Unfortunately our relationship didn’t last and one of the hardest things to get over was how we could share such special moments such as that one and be able to leave without much care. It’s still hard to listen to this album, it felt like ours but now it doesn’t feel like mine. Still every once and a while I build up the courage to put it on and it never ceases to send me on an emotional rollercoaster.
Ahhh I can remember somewhat vividly dropping acid in Hawaii listening to this Album over and over! The music seemed to live in my body, the way I felt as each and every note played! My best friend at the time Bruno was right there with me for what we determined later was a 16 hour trip through the Dark Side of the Moon! This is still my favorite of all Pink Floyd albums! 😎😎😎😎
Brah, I am haole who lived in Hawaii for 12 yrs. I married a local girl from Waianae in 1985!!! Still married!!! Have 3 beautiful Hapa children, and 9 beautiful grandchildren! My keikes Aloha us bruddahz need to stick tight.
Purple microdot,orange sunshine Window pane Mushrooms F-40's,pink ladies, a nickel or 4 fingers of weed for ten dollars of some holy weed grown in Carmel and party all night on the beaches....yeah those were the best of times....

@Christophe Thibault, weren't you 14, not 16, in 1973? Or did you discover this album when Wish You Were Here debuted in 1975?
This album is enduring and is still as relevant today as when it was first released. It still moves me.
I don't know, I was really drunk at the time.
Time its TImeless Lol
Yes it is still "us and them", so the neo-liberals and their media say.

I am thankful for being alive...and being able to listen to this masterpiece...
Such a smooth transition from song to song. This whole album is like one long song.
Yeah it’s similar in that way to the final cut
tmussen2560 indeed
A lot of Pink Floyd’s albums are like that. Other examples of this include Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and The Final Cut.
It's been said that Pink Floyd didn't write songs, they wrote albums.
Pink Floyd tries to do whole albums in one take and they love to keep imperfections because it makes the music more human
In 1974 I was a 20 year old from Canada hitch-hiking through the South Island of New Zealand. I hadn't heard much of my favourite music since I'd left home months earlier. One night I got picked up by a young guy in a van with a great stereo system. I stretched out in the back and listened to this album while gazing at the full moon over the Pacific Ocean on the coast road. A nice memory.
Better known as " life moments ". Bravo tuti bravo !
Be a rock but don't roll off
That's incredible. Sounds like a journey of a lifetime.
@@lindalapierre6892 Looking back now, it really was.
I was driving down the road with my then 8 year old daughter when a song from DSOM comes on and she started singing all the words. I asked her how did she know this song and she said “dad you listen to it all the time”, she’s still right to this day.
She's an Angel looking after you ❤️🙏
Wish that would happen to me some day 🥲

Dark side of the moon was one of my father's favorite albums. I lost my father unexpectedly only two and a half weeks ago. He was only 61 years old. I come to this video to try to feel him near me.

Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album, and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. In 2012, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Hi I recommend a song & video here on youtube called 'Where I come From' by Robert Nix
... and the proof that also music that is not tralala can be commercially successful
And those wonderful words still dont do it justice. Perfect.
they should perserve my balls if they perserve this shit
What's the point of copy-and-pasting from Wikipedia
I am thankful I am alive during this time period and have had the pleasure to hear and feel such beautiful, magical music.
Truth is timeless. Talent is effortless. Pink Floyd is forever.
72 and still here listening with you every day ~ there is no Life without the Floyd 💓
50th anniversary....
I believe one day Syd's path will come to meet Pink Floyd again and as a result of their different paths , when they do come together they will produce music of this quality Forever. St Michael.

Take a day at a time and carry on having dreams of what God has promised for those of us who Love Him. " St Michael.
I well remember the first time I heard this album. It was about 9:00pm one evening in 1975. There were 4 or 5 of us, 15 to 17 years of age, hanging out at a friends mobile home in rural central Arkansas USA when another friend walked in with the album saying, “You guys gotta hear this album I just bought!” The album had already been out for 2 years but none of us had ever heard it before that night (obviously Arkansas is behind the times with everything getting to Arkansas late). Never had any album of music ever had the kind of initial impact this one did on me. At our first listen, we were all enthralled and in absolute awe! It was INCREDIBLE! When the last heartbeat faded we were all sitting in stunned silence, no one saying anything for a few minutes as we were all letting everything we had just heard soak in deeper as we considered and thought about the messages of life we’d just been hit with. Then somebody (I think it was me) said, “PLAY THAT AGAIN!” and we all sat there again thru the whole album listening intently, just as enthralled and ‘into it’ as we were the first time. I mean we all REALLY sat there listening - no one interrupting the music - no one attempting to talk about anything other than the occasional “WOW!” or “DANG that guitar sounds SO COOL!” or, like when David sang Roger’s words, “and then one day you find, ten years have got behind you”, we all just looked at each other with wide-open awe in our eyes thinking, “DAMN, that’s deeeep!” as we felt the weight of the prophetic truth in those inspired words. And here we are now with FORTY-SEVEN YEARS having got behind us since hearing that line for the first time thinking then how it seemed like it would take forever for ten years to get behind us! Now, looking back, it seems like nearly half a century has gone by IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
WE NEEDED NO WEED OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE MUSIC AND THE LYRICS FOR US TO GET HIGH THAT NIGHT! I couldn’t get it out of my head and floated home that night with the words and music ringing in my ears and the experience/feeling resonating in my soul! The next few days I THIRSTED and HUNGERED to hear it all again and within days I bought the 8-track of the Dark Side Of The Moon album to play in my car (a pristine ‘71 Plymouth Barracuda, blue with white vinyl top and blue interior) on my 20 mile round-trip to high school each day. For the next couple of years I WORE THAT 8-TRACK OUT! 47 years later I’m STILL in awe of the genius of this classic album! It STILL stirs my soul! PiNK FLoYD’S Dark Side Of The Moon is a TIMELESS MASTERPIECE. It is AN EXPERIENCE.
I am high as fuck and I completely comprehend the emotions and the depth of what you wrote in that eloquent swath of English verbiage my 60 year old eyes have ever seen.
As I listened to the smooth, enthralling groovy tones from the sax from “The Dark Side of the Moon”, playing the background, I realized that my highness was actually feeling better, it actually felt like I was getting higher as I read your words on this comment.

@@TonyTube407
Thanks Tony. It was my pleasure to recall the experience of my first time hearing Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side Of The Moon” album. Thru the years since, I’ve often thought of that night. Apparently it made a significant imprint on me. It’s amazing to me that sitting down to listen to a single album has had such a lasting impact. It all now seems a bit like a dream. Life passes by so fast.
So much of the theme of Time was/is couched in that singular masterful Pink Floyd composition called “THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”. That night when I first heard it, I was only 16 years old and most of my life was still in front of me, unknown, yet unlived, a mystery - like the elements of mystery embedded into the composition of the album: the heavy footfalls of a breathless runner approaching thru the smoke and scattered glowing embers of a plane wreck. The lone runner’s footsteps draw near, pass quickly by, and continue on alone into the darkness of the night, the sound fading in the distance… Who IS the runner? What is he running from? WHY is he running? And, WHERE IS HE GOING - and why in such a hurry???…
Now, nearly half a century later, I discover that THE RUNNER WAS/IS ME! Unstopped by the crashes and wreckage of my life, I’ve run thru it all and continued on running thru the night. Most of the mystery of what my life held in store for me when I first heard DSotM 48 years ago in 1975 at age 16, is no longer a mystery. The themes of The Dark Side Of The Moon involving “TIME”, the quest for success/“MONEY”, and the many other stresses of life that for some might lead to various degrees of “MADNESS” - most of it is now in my past. I’ve LIVED it. Most of my life has come and gone. This year “[I] FIND [64] YEARS HAVE GOT BEHIND ME”. Now I “run and I run to catch up with the Sun but it’s sinking, racing around to come up behind me again. The Sun is the same in a relative way but I’m older: shorter of breath and 64 years closer to death”.
The only mystery of my life yet remaining is in what manner will I leave it, and when will THAT day arrive? But I’m not afraid of that. “No, I’m not frightened of dying. Any time will do. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it - you've got to go sometime"…
So, still, I run and I run…
And you’ve got to know - we all should know by now - there is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact…
Dark Side is beyond praise. Hard to believe any band could produce something of such magnificence.
Absolute facts my friend 💯💪
With the help of Alan Parsons.

Only the Floyd can and did.... ✌☮🕊🏳✌☮🕊🏳✌ 🎶🎵🪕🎼💿🎸🎶🎵🪕🎼💿🎸
True. I think the best praise is, this album was on the Billboard Top 40 album charts for at least 10 straight years.
I've been listening to this album for over 30 years and it never gets old.
We just seem to get older brother, but this album never will for me either 🌈💎

You would think an album that old would be worth something, hehe l ain't worth much neither, l was fortunate to see them when this came out
My parents played this album all the time. When I was younger, I hated “Us & Them” for how slow it was. As an adult, I absolutely love it. “Any Colour You Like” is my second fav Pink Floyd after “Echoes”. FloydForever!!! Such AMAZING music!!
those are my top two in that order as well! Please share another band/song you like we have similar taste!

I'm only 14 so I wasn't around when this came out, but this is an absolutely INCREDIBLE 4-track run. There really is nothing else like it. And I don't think there ever will be.
Really great to hear that the magic of Pink Floyd still moves through the years for many new fans to experience. The album Dark Side of the Moon, which was released just about 50 years ago - March 1, 1973 - has sold well over Fifty Million copies since. Someone here in the comments said it best - "Pink Floyd is unbreakable"
this kid knows what he / she talkin about.
Wise words. There is hope for the future generation.
I hope billions of 14-year-olds take the same big, small step towards peace. Thanks friend
@@casinipaolo2046 I have heard of a lot of people around my age still enjoying this album, so your wish is already starting to come true in a way
I wish that music critics would stop referring to Pink Floyd as ," prog rock" they transcend any genre of music,they are completely unique,they can't be dumped in with other bands of the era,they are original, complete masters of musical story telling,will never be bettered, everyone can find there own meaning in there songs,now that is true talent !

I bought this record in '73 having never heard of Pink Floyd. The record salesman had never heard of them. No one I met had ever heard of them. It's like I had discovered a new band.
50 years later and I'm still listening to them.
One of the best albums of all time in my humble opinion.Timeless,could have been written yesterday
It's second the The Wall. What a masterpiece that is.
@@70ad25 no doubt
I listened to it endlessly 40 years ago.
Or in a 1000 years.

Amazing how long it stayed on the charts. From 1973 to 1988. I don't know of any other album did that. Great album!!!!
The greatest album ever put together. By anybody.

Or the life you knew that has flown home. Suddenly. With no heads up. When your saying to your touchstone standing silent at their grave "man, you are so gone" and you can't find any connection & no drink or drug or thing or person can soften the blow of loss to ease you. Here comes Pink Floyd and opens your private door and you listen. Absorbing the many messages sewn expertly within each cord, and you get it. I love how their music always reaches people and me.
.. .. .. .. .. ..
This album is an absolute masterpiece. Everytime I hear it I find some new sound or harmony hidden in the backround. My opinion is that is the best music ever recorded.
Imagine making one of the most critically acclaimed, musically important, and greatest albums of all time, and even THEN it’s still a question of which the best album in your discography is. What a legendary band
I can't even imagine making a good album..lol
Ehh it’s not really a question that this is their best album
Very First album I ever purchased as a youth in 1973, 13 years old, cost me 6.95 of my hard earned money, that was a lot in 73.. I still have it and still listen to Floyd as loud as I can when the mood strikes me..
Rock bands of the 70s never get old and tired of listening too. They are as popular today as they were back then. Though a lot of us are getting older, the music still stands the test of time. Every time I hear a song from that era makes us feel young and floods our minds with memories of years gone by. The music still seems new. Not like the crap that is put out today.
Same as black Sabbath. Two of my favourite albums are from the early 70s. Greatest era for music.
Ok boomer
Seventeen years old laying on the floor with a huge speaker next to each ear.
Dark Side is the best album ever.
i was just a sophomore in high school, just started burning, and upon hearing this album my life changed forever- thank you, pink- whichever one you are...
The best album of all time!!! Unbeatable
I remember listening to Pink Floyd as a teenager... but now that older I really appreciate the complications of the music... ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT.... this combo is one of my FAVORITES.... David Gilmore is a LEGEND...
at least spell the guy's name correctly......gilmour
I was 18 at the time this come out
Everything about this song the sound of every keyboard , synthesizer, guitar effects , drum sound, vocal etc
is second to none. The mix is perfect. No other band has equaled this !
Does ALAN PARSONS Ring a bell when the ENGINEERING Aspect into this MASTERPIECE OF MUSIC?
This album is priceless and too beautiful for words. I’ve taken many trips with this band. Good experiences, not a single bad one. Good music to feed your mind and your soul.
I need me a little vacation sometime, too! It’s been years.
Wow, that must have been amazing ! Great for You ! Seriously!!
I am still hypnotized by it. Not hard to be.
You & me both.
You & me both. All great LSD music & for me, will forever be. Thanks for keeping it real.
This whole album speaks on the condition of existence. It's my favorite album of all time, barred none.
It's hard to believe this album was released in 73!? I was born in 62,I was 18 when the wall was released in 80,all these songs were a part of my teenaged journey of despair,turmoil and incarceration....good times
I hear ya man,...me too, they were the main soundtrack to my life, and when incarcerated
in 1980{17 yrs), "Time" started playing during our radio time, and "everyone" in the jail was
screaming at the guards to crank up the volume,...and they had no problem with that because
they loved it too!
Pink Floyd will forever be my favorite band until the day i die.
I know they've broken up but their music will live on forever in our hearts. I don't want any talking or tears at my funeral. Just play Pink Floyd the whole time.
Exactly the same plan as I have. Although none of my children like them, they are going to learn to love them.
Luv u and told u soo???
Meow
Do you know, that's exactly how I feel........
One day they will reunited in heaven. And Syd will be a key member again. I believe they will play and produce music forever.
3 months to go and DSOTM turns 50....although I just turned 66, still very grateful for being a teen during much of the 70s when the best rock music ever was being created.
After 50 years it's still like the first time. Something huge and marvellous♥
Pink Floyd will never die..
.
It don't get any better than them.
Amen
For me, personally, the greatest band of all time.
But if they do,I wanna die with them.
It really doesn’t. They are objectively one of the best bands of all time. I don’t trust the judgement of people who think they aren’t good (if that’s even possible).

I can remember listen to this album on my best friend’s new quad stereo system. During the song Money, when the cash register drawer came open and the coins landed in it making the loud noise, you could follow each drawer around the room of the 4 huge speakers. Was a great experience, that and the entire album. There will never be a band like them again!
Dark Side of The Moon is, if you ask me, the absolute best Pink Floyd album. Saw them only once, during The Division Bell tour. They were wonderful and played a lot from the Dark Side of The Moon album. Of all the concerts I've been to, the Pink Floyd will always remain my favorite.
i was lucky to see the floyd,in 1977
My best bud got to see them in KC for the Wall Tour. He said they got too drunk and by the 3rd song they were sloshing beer on people in front of them and that didn't go over too well. He didn't remember much, so i'm guessing it was a Great Concert. I was grounded and couldn't go...still mad at my mom who passed last year at 95 y.o.
Saw The Wall in Orlando on a scale of 1-10 it was a 20 !

I remember the first time I heard this album. It was 1974 and I walked into a record store that was playing it. I have been musically mesmerized only twice in my life, both times when I was young. This was one of those times. I had no idea who I was listening to, but the music was carrying me away. I had to have this album at all costs! I checked with the clerk and he said it was the only copy they had. I said I desperately needed to "purchase this album, please!" They sold it to me at a discount price. I would have gladly paid triple. I was not walking out of that music store without DSOTM. The rest is history. What an album!
well well done Tom!
Tom K, you are truly synced with the cosmos!
If I was behind the counter that day in that record store, and saw how much you dug what you were hearing, I would have GIVEN this record to you for FREE! You wouldn't buy any better promotion.
Now you make me very curious, Tom. Which was the other time you were musically mesmerized ?
@@gertpols3183 1972, hearing The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again." That intro...! And then, that song! If a song ever defined rock for me, it was that one.

It isn't just an album, it is roadmap to my soul
"Dark Side of the Moon" is to rock what William Shakespeare is to literature: there may be something greater, or more profound, but it will have to go through this album to get there.
What about the white album hahaha
Yes indeed. And if you could do a degree in Pink Floyd music, you, me and millions of other people would become professors in it. I am 71 and listen every day to them. Echoes performance in Gdansk is outstanding. Such a big part of my life.
And for literature what about dr Seuss
@@mikewilliams3384 Meddle was the album that changed me: I discovered a whole other world of the mind and the senses with that album. After it, I discovered Atom Heart Mother, Can (especially "Aumgn," easily as revolutionary as anything Floyd did), early Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind, and later even Throbbing Gristle, shit like that, but it all began with Meddle and especially "Echoes." Life without Pink Floyd would be a mistake.
Greatest closing to an album ever made, eclipse gives me the goosebumps ... Like there's something inevitable is gonna happen and there's nothing you can do about it.

I remember listening to this entire album for the first time with a girl and a few tabs of acid, we laid in my bed with some star lights making the room feel like we were in a planetarium. It was such a beautiful moment that at one point I started crying a little bit thinking about how I had everything I could ever want in that moment. I didn’t let her see that of course. Unfortunately our relationship didn’t last and one of the hardest things to get over was how we could share such special moments such as that one and be able to leave without much care. It’s still hard to listen to this album, it felt like ours but now it doesn’t feel like mine. Still every once and a while I build up the courage to put it on and it never ceases to send me on an emotional rollercoaster.

A monster album, by all accounts...and yet still underrated.
"underrated" is a word I wouldn't use to describe this album
Years ago it was the # 1 favorite album, probably still is.
Not underrated by ME! :-)
didn't "Dark side of moon" stay on the charts for, like 50yrs? that's not underrated, it's recognized musical genius 😌
Underrated by whom may I ask?
2021 and still the best album ever❤❤
It's hard to say which Pink Floyd Album is the best .They are all MASTERPIECES!!!!!. Top 2 bands ever. The second one don't count!
Beautifully drawing, like picasso.

Ahhh I can remember somewhat vividly dropping acid in Hawaii listening to this Album over and over! The music seemed to live in my body, the way I felt as each and every note played! My best friend at the time Bruno was right there with me for what we determined later was a 16 hour trip through the Dark Side of the Moon! This is still my favorite of all Pink Floyd albums! 😎😎😎😎
Brah, I am haole who lived in Hawaii for 12 yrs. I married a local girl from Waianae in 1985!!! Still married!!! Have 3 beautiful Hapa children, and 9 beautiful grandchildren! My keikes Aloha us bruddahz need to stick tight.
