To celebrate the next episode launching on Nebula, I'm doing an AMA over at the Nebula subreddit, come pop in if you want to ask me something: www.reddit.com/r/watchnebula/comments/h15m8k/polyphonic_here_ama
I think it'll be pretty apparent what the script is going to be about. It is one of my favorite PF songs for sure especially with the lyrical commentary on war.
Law of coincidences. SOMEONE had to have the song stuck in their on the day...those that did are likely going to feel like it was more than a coincidence.
'Money' is my favourite part of The Dark Side of the Moon, though I always found it kind of ironic that a song denouncing money made so much of it. There are certainly some people out there who could do with watching this video.
I’d like to know why it’s called Dark Side of the Moon. Im guessing it’s because we speak so little of what we don’t see. We see and talk about about the moon and all the goods in life; but we don’t mention the dark side of the moon, or the dark side of life. By far, favorite music album.
@@marcsullivan7987 Of course everyone is free to interpret anything any way they like, but when that interpretation goes against the author's stated intention, it makes these people no better than these narcissistic "philosophers" who think that art only exists for them to "deconstruct".
This project is the best I've ever seen! Spectacular! The problem is that I'm from Argentina and fortunately I speak English, but I know a lot of people who would love to see this but can't easily translate it into their head, you should put subtitles in Spanish so that the entire Spanish-speaking audience can see it!
My first reaction when I saw the video in the "bell"-feed: "Aaaaaaahhh!!!". Because I was so excited like for every video of this series. Keep up this great work!
Man, I've been watching your videos for ages, and was always happy with them... but now you really seem to have stepped out beyond the more straightforward notes about each topic, and you're expanding on more background material, providing more interpretation, and going in hard on clear ties to wider politics and society. Credit where its due, you've really gone up a notch!
"Money" "Us and Them" Dialectical tension. Guitarist pedantry: Gilmour used a Binson Echorec, not reverb. That's an old magnetic drum delay unit. It's better than reverb. The first solo is double-tracked - not ADT, he did it manually (ie: two takes of the same solo). He doesn't use reverb FX in his live rig. There's probably some room 'verb mixed in with the DSOTM take. Gilmourish and Kit Rae are the best resources for Gilmour-heads
Those blends of Fuzz Face, Colorsound Boost, Univibe, with the Echorec, is just a beautiful sound. The Echorec will Sound like there’s reverb too, although they may have put some in post, but he also used a weird processor for the tremolo effect, and a synth processor as well. He really knew how to get the most out of his gear. *Shout out to Gilmourish! He’s definitely the go to for those sounds and gear.
@Toxic Potato I'm hopelessly biased so it's not like I'm saying it is objectively better (except, of course, it is :D ). The thing about Echorecs, Echoplexes, all those old drum, tape, oil-can delays (and so on...I think I got al the heavy-hitters...Roland Space Echo has reverb as well I think) is that once you've dialed in a few tones the Reverb pedal tends to sit on the shelf. A good analog delay can achieve a similar result, but with actual tape delays, if the tape is clean it's remarkably Hi-Fi. That's why Davey G. went digital with his MXR rack units in the late 70s- to get that clean tape Hi-Fi thing without the hassle of using real tape. I'm not an expert. Bjorn at GIlmourish has all the gravy on DG's gear. Kit Rae for BIG MUUUUFF (that came later)
I will never forget the time in last July were me and my dad we’re flying first class to Las Vegas to see Aerosmith live as a bday present. When the flight attendants came out with my dinner which was this assortment of cheese, salami, crackers, hummus, etc, I put in my earbuds and played Money while I was eating to jokingly get that greedy bastard feeling.
It's an incredible work you did, not only with the analysis and audio cut wich is the heart of a work on Dark Side, but with the graphic design too, you surpassed yourself on this project
Brilliant as always! I'm unemployed right now but as soon as I have some more money I'll gladly support your work. Amazing analysis, thoughtful explorations of all the themes present in the album, and deep examination of the music and sound employed. My biggest thanks and congratulations, keep it up!!!
One thing is missing though, wich is easliy look past behind Gilmour solo, is Nick drumming on the dry part. After staying on a heavy groovy beat on the wet part with its fair share of pure Mason style fillings, he guiets down, stay on his mark a few bars, then starts building with fillings that quickly becomes the closest thing we have in Pink Floyd studio discography to a drum solo, wich ends with the start of the last part.
The early pink floyd discography has some things that are much closer to a drum solo than this, such as the actual drum solo from the "song" called the grand vizier's garden party
Thanks so much for these videos! Amazing work for my all-time favorite album. Roger Waters' tour a couple of years back, where the band played nearly the entire album, was by far the greatest live music experience I've ever had.
David said somewhere (I forget the source) that they changed to 4/4 for his solo because he didn't want to put the effort into writing a solo in 7/4 but they wouldn't allow Dick Parry the same luxury and I think that's funny, and boy does it add a lot of dynamics to the song.
Money was my high school senior quote. Ive always loathed money and capitalism and I contribute that to the lyrics in this song. Its amazing how a couple lines of poetry can shape how you view society. Thanks to Pink Floyd Ive lived my life away from the control of money. Thanks for this video. The Dark Side of the Moon was my favorite from like 17-20. Real formative years. This series on the album is bringing back a lot of long forgotten memories. Cheers
Great analysis, love your editing and graphic design. I'm looking forward to this series. Hope you also cover other Pink Floyd albums like Animals or Wish you were here.
money is such an odd song for how popular it was. 7/4 time, using real sounds as an instrument. yet the 7/4 doesnt sound unfinished, and the cash machines sound great, and the song overall has an outside of a song about money, and how it is good, but underneath it is about the problems with money.
The sound collage may have been inspired by a similar sound collage which opens the theme to "Are You Being Served?", a British sitcom which had premiered only the prior year.

Love of money is the root of all evil.
Envy much?
I will take this video as a graduation gift. Thanks.
After "Dark Side Of The Moon" can you do a series like this on "The Wall"?
Is it not ironic you’re pushing this Nebula thing on a video about “Money”
I love David Gilmour's explanation as to why the song changes time in the middle to 4/4.
"...It was easier to write a [guitar] solo."
"Art that seeks to criticize the engine of the machine is turned into fuel to feed that very engine"
So poetic.
This is a recurring theme for Pink Floyd.
ikr
The original phrase is "The *_LOVE_* of money is the root of all evil..."
That honestly makes much more sense
Polyphonic releases a new video? What a time to be alive.
Someday there will be a young man making videos dissecting Polyphonic videos. And a few more will listen to him.
No Time was a previous video
Holy crap this means Us and Them is next...
Crank Lab Explosion - lab central can't wait for brain damage
I think it'll be pretty apparent what the script is going to be about. It is one of my favorite PF songs for sure especially with the lyrical commentary on war.
I'm excited for animals, one of my favorite albums
@@nicholas5623 I don't think he will do that
And any colour you like after that, I am more excited about that
It’s finally here
I can finally pay the rent
What is?
I love the sarcastic, funky feel of this song, more different then the entire album but still keeps contact with the sound.
I'm so hyped for Brain Damage/Eclipse
Ikr, it is my favorite one on the album
I've been most excited for any color you like since he's started doing these.
@@gwenlyda4958 Your right, i have always wondered what Any Color You Like is about. It has to be more than just a regular instrumental track.
@@lordgarmadon2598 Do you not know what the purpose of this channel is?
Yeah me too. I know there's a lot of meaning in those two songs that I still havent figured out yet.
Money is my favorite Pink Floyd song. The bassline after the saxophone solo is a real head banger. The lyrics is absolutely amazing too.
"wet, dry, custom Louis guitar", for a second I thought it was a recipe for fried chicken then it walked back to the 7/4 riff.
Guitar lingo gets weird, as most things do, when talking shop.
Like, I know a dude who runs a Wet,Dry, Dry, Wet rig. 😆 That’s actually a real term.
@@CorbCorbin that's awesome!
@@CorbCorbin Damn. I run W/D or, if I can get away with it, W/D/W. Now I gotta figure out W/D/D/W...damn you!
@@SingularMechanicalCitrusFruit now that's a comparison I can dig.
I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day holy shit that’s crazy
I have a theory that music travels on a sub atomic level.
Shit. Now youtube is reading minds.
Law of coincidences.
SOMEONE had to have the song stuck in their on the day...those that did are likely going to feel like it was more than a coincidence.
wait, i don’t even remember commented this lmfao hell yeah
This is so good. You should do a series on Animals and The Wall (well, and pretty much every other Pink Floyd album lol)
Would die for Animals but I would be happy if he eventually did it in order because Wish you were here also did excellent dives into mental illness.
I’ve been waiting a month for this..
We've got to have...
M o n e y......
Happy SoftTM but what if.... WE NEED MO MONAH DUTCH
A whole lotta spending money.
I'M ALRIGHT JACK, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY STACK!
Omg an obscure Tom and Jerry movie quote??
That's the line that got me into Pink Floyd lol
'Money' is my favourite part of The Dark Side of the Moon, though I always found it kind of ironic that a song denouncing money made so much of it. There are certainly some people out there who could do with watching this video.
It’s definitely a classic, but it’s personally my least favorite on the album. Which says a lot about how good the album is.
Time and Money are my favorites
"For gain they sell their very head." - Juvenal
I refuse to believe that “money” is a real word anymore.
I’d like to know why it’s called Dark Side of the Moon. Im guessing it’s because we speak so little of what we don’t see. We see and talk about about the moon and all the goods in life; but we don’t mention the dark side of the moon, or the dark side of life. By far, favorite music album.
"There is no dark slde in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark."
“I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon”
A metaphor with multiple possible meanings, trying to themes of the album
@@marcsullivan7987 There are no multiple possible meanings, at least not in the author's mind. Waters explained it all in an interview.
@@thecandlemaker1329
Sure. But a “text” is open to any and all reasonable interpretations. It’s a work of art, not a documentary
@@marcsullivan7987 Of course everyone is free to interpret anything any way they like, but when that interpretation goes against the author's stated intention, it makes these people no better than these narcissistic "philosophers" who think that art only exists for them to "deconstruct".
Can't wait for Any Colour You Like. Most iconic instrumental of all time
Earlier this week I got a Dark Side Of The Moon vinyl, it was cool as hell lmao
I bought my first record player yesterday haha, old restored Technics turntable
Yee .mp4 lol shutup

Matti cat both are really good albums ngl

Are you quoting the lizard from the commercials trying to sell me insurance?
Are you paying too much for your car insurance?
Money is my favourite song from Pink Floyd, together with Have a Cigar. Thanks for the video.
I’m hyped for Us and Them, it’s one of my favorite songs ever.
The bass line for this song is one of my favourites to play
I honestly mainly listen to rap and rnb music(sometimes listen to rock) but this series on this album literally has me hooked
Without a doubt my favorite guitar solo ever. Maybe it's a weird choice, but I think that this is the coolest guitar solo ever.
My first reaction when I saw the video in the "bell"-feed: "Aaaaaaahhh!!!". Because I was so excited like for every video of this series. Keep up this great work!
These are honestly some of the best videos on RUclips
My Ringtone is Money, so when I heard the song in this video, I thought that my phone was ringing
My ringtone is my phone call.
This series has inspired me and given me so many new cool ideas for songwriting and lyrics. Can't thank you enough 🤘
Dude, this is awesome, people need more content like this, way to go!
Man, I've been watching your videos for ages, and was always happy with them... but now you really seem to have stepped out beyond the more straightforward notes about each topic, and you're expanding on more background material, providing more interpretation, and going in hard on clear ties to wider politics and society. Credit where its due, you've really gone up a notch!
I’m in love with this series, thank you so much for putting in the effort to highlight such a masterpiece.
Every new video in this series looks more beautiful than the last, brilliant job
Shouldn't the title begin with "V: Money" for continuity's sake?
Yes
Money is the center of everything, it doesnt need to follow the rules, at least thats my guess as to y he didnt
"Money" "Us and Them"
Dialectical tension.

This song is the reason I picked up the bass. Great song and thanks for another great vid.
This series is amazing, thank you!
oh my god the amount of attention to detail in this video is amazing
FINALLY, thank u polyphonic
Please do this style of playlist on other iconic albums
Us and Them has brilliant harmonies
this song has a huge meaning on The Italian Job. i carry this correlation is absurdly beautiful
I think it's the most catchy track on the album, it rocks

Let's appriciate for a moment that Polyphonic, a Canadian, put's a correct visual of Football behind the lyrics sang by a British band.
Man I love this series. I get so excited every time I see a new video.

Cant wait for the next episode, on my favorite song.
Best series on RUclips
Us And Them is my favourite on the album, can't wait!
I would absolutely love to see you cover some of The Kink’s work
Another enjoyable video. I will be looking forward to you next installment, kind sir.
My favorite song from the album.
the compression on that soundwave was brutal
money is such an odd song for how popular it was. 7/4 time, using real sounds as an instrument. yet the 7/4 doesnt sound unfinished, and the cash machines sound great, and the song overall has an outside of a song about money, and how it is good, but underneath it is about the problems with money.
finally been waiting for this video👏👏👏 this is great series
Great video mate, interesting choice of currency image
God what a great channel. Seriously.
So glad it’s here already
Even bob marleys last words were money can't buy life
Love The 2nd Side of Dark Side as much as the 1st Side. Also, The WHOLE DAMM ALBUM!
Can you make some kind of bonus video talking about the lineup between this and the wizard of Oz?
or the lineup with mall cop
Super excited for Any Colour You Like
thank you for posting truly amazing content like this
What a video, man. Very well done 👏🏼
Another amazing video. You are very good at what you do. Keep it up. Thank you
man thanks once again
Amazing work, appreciate it soooo much
I cant wait for Us and Them. It's going to be incredible
Favorite song off the album
I've been going back and getting really into Floyd lately and these videos have been great to go along with it.
Another brilliant break down of a great song. Thanks!

Love these videos....more please please please.
Very even and well put together
My local news station plays this song every morning
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you got!
I went through a few 8-tracks of Dark side of the moon! I remember when it made album of the Decade! Partied my ass off! Good times!😎✌❤
These videos are so damn good!! Thank you
Loved this! So relevant in today’s time.
I just completed my Pink Floyd trinity on Vinyl this week (The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall). Damn good records.
Maybe give animals a listen
@@mrbucket1571 I was about to say that.
This is my favorite episode of the Dark Side of the Moon Project by far. Keep it Polyphonic and I might actually sign into Nebula.👍
How do you not delve into one of the most epic bass lines ever?
