My father's (he was a trumpet player, composer and conductor) last words to me were "Well dear, I seem to have run out of lyrics". That's not on his tombstone, wish it was.
I remember when I first heard Time. After the “starting gun” line I’m not ashamed to say I cried very real tears almost immediately. No string of words had ever so accurately said what I’d been thinking. They hit like a freight train and the guitar solo felt like plunging down a roller coaster and my stomach dropped. This song changed my life.
Wow, it's almost like there was intended symbolism, because songs can do that, but naaah, let's just use the same format that we always do without making any real statement!
MadmanMortonYT the fact that you have enough awareness to recognize the importance of the present moment is quite a personal victory. Use your awareness well, and you will be able to be reasonably happy (and occasionally extremely happy).
Elijah gast I turn 30 in just a couple months, and believe me that it gets worse. I still find it horrifying when I tell myself I'll do something or have some time for something before I'm 30...only to have realization sink in a few moments later.
I just had an existential crisis that lasted around 3 and a half months. It finally went away about 2 weeks ago, but I think it might be coming back....
I think “The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older” is one of the most clever lines ever written. It evokes such powerful imagery of the sun being in the exact same place in the sky at a certain time of day, every day. I can imagine someone growing older each day while the sun remains unchanging in the sky in a timelapse sort of fashion.
Pink Floyd: “no one told when to run, you missed the starting gun” guitar solo Me hearing it for the first time: woah... This song always gets me thinking and reminds me not to waste time, but also not to desperately chase too much.
Dustin Bradshaw for real. I don’t listen to it very often so I can recreate that feeling. Nothing fancy or ‘difficult’ besides the tone and emotion. You can find David playing it isolated on video. I think from the VH1 classic album series.
About 3 years ago I bought a pristine LP of Dark Side of the Moon and hearing it fully for the first time, it absolutely blew my mind. This album changed my life and I'll forever remember the moment I heard it for the first time.
It's scary how accurate this song is. It's crazy Waters was younger than I am now when he wrote it and how well it captures the existential feeling of getting older. At 15 I was too young to get it. In my early 20s I got it, but was too young to understand it on a existential level, in my late 20s and into my 30s it scares me. What this song will mean when I hit 40 I'll find in time, but I'm in no rush to get there.
I was looking forward to you doing Time, as no other song has struck such a chord (pun semi-intended) with me. As ever, your analysis doesn't disappoint - deep and thoughtful but also presented with concision and clarity. Keep up the good work!
You mean it makes you feel, you just happen to not wanna feel those feelings, anxiety is all you, hard to admit but its true, least now you know you can get over that hill because its within you
Perfect time for the perfect song. I think that in these troubled times, we all feeel a little bit closeer to death., We are under order to shelter in place. So here we sit, burning up our precious time.Thanks for posting
It's not that we're closer to death, it's that we come to realize that we have so much time during the containment and yet our ability to waste our time is still remarkable. We're actually surprised by our ability to waste time no matter how much time we have.
@Stellvia Hoenheim Good for you then. But whenever there is a crisis, that means alot of people are pushed onto the streets, and more people dies. Remember economy isn't only numbers, it also means lives. And others struggle to get buy, life becomes more difficult to them.
That's very true But I honestly felt safe during lockdown. There was the whole issue of not seeing anybody, yes, but I personally got used to staying round in my block, walking the dog, and going back home. Now that it's finished, I feel open to the World, and everything is more agoraphobic than before, and while I would want to see more people, that feeling and desire for safety, closed in my hole, my attic, my walls, remains. Now that everything has started moving again, ticking round, life seems in motion, which in this moment in life especially, scares the shit out of me.
I feel the voice overs are like snippets of ones ego, the lyrics are mostly ones anxiety, greed, fear etc... and the female backing vocals represent the spiritual need within us all.
Yeah, my dad made me listen to this album, blindfolded with headphones, start to finish, when I was 12. I still thought it rocked, and it has influenced my musical style directly... But yeah, it wasn't until my late 20s that the lyrical content really spoke to me.
As much as I love the whole song, I've always thought the reprise of Breathe was the most interesting part. I guess it's just because the first time I heard it, I didn't expect it to do that.
The biggest reason I love Pink Floyd is that they're the one band I can consistently turn to when things have got to shit that will validate every dark feeling I'm experiencing, when nobody in my circle will do so. It's the most freeing thing I can do for myself. I have a feeling I'll be visiting my Pink Floyd vinyl in the very near future.
One of my most profound fears is lying on my death bed and having the epiphany that I’ve missed out on life. That scares me more than death in some ways. Ironically enough my fear of death scares me away from experiencing life.
I also love in the reprise of breathe how the lyrics "Home again" represent the music too, how we feel comfortable and at home in the repetition of the opening song. It contrasts the harshness of time and I think criticises our ignorance towards the passing of time.
The line "quiet desperation is the English way" & possibly the sentiment of the song might have been inspired by Henry David Thoreau who wrote " the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." A very profound if not sorrowful song that ponders what a well lived life really is. I wore out 2 vinyl copies of Dark Side of the Moon back in the early 70s. Definitely a good headphone, introspective album. Love the series you're doing on it 👍
When I see your video on “The Dark Side on the Moon Project”. It’s really cool and keeps adding layers that I haven’t seen (or in the case of this album, heard) before. I hope to see more of what you’ve been digging up, because this archeological dig in this album really reveals what the message is on each track and what the overlaying message of the album is trying to say.
Far and away one of the most formative songs in my upbringing. Glad to watch this in-depth reflection on it. Both the song and lyrics meant everything to me from the time I first heard it as a teenager.
I listened to this song/this entire album on repeat literally all day when I was around 9 years old. I was trapped in my room usually and all I had was an ipod shuffle. Pink Floyd basically shaped my musical talent and this song gives me so much nostalgia and goosebumps every time. I wouldn’t be where I am now without this song.
Notice how Mason's drum solo starts the song, sounding like a clock and only after 2 minutes the lyrics kick in hitting you with the "ticking away the moments that make up a dull day" line. Pure genius.
For me, Time is THE Pink Floyd song. All for members get their time to shine, the lyrics are representative of how deep Pink Floyd's music is and the vocals are godly. The guitar solo is madly underrated, even by fans and "experts". For me, it's the best Gilmour solo and by that my favourite solo of all time. No pun intended though. It's literally transcendental and emotional like not many other pieces and deserves more recognition than it gets. In fact, it's impossible to overrate or exaggerate the solo, the song and the whole record. Just otherworldly perfection.
Bought the album on vinyl just last Saturday and I can say I think this is the best album I’ve bought, not my favourite though, regardless, this album is a masterpiece
Bought the album on vinyl in 1975 and sorely wish I still had that copy. I loved those old Hipgnosis covers, especially the gatefolds. Had endless stoner fun discussing the details with my best friends.
Amazing, wide-angled exploration, as always. Just a little hint. I've looked up the original lyrics written in the 1973 LP gatefold. It stands: "The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say".
This song spoke to me more than any song. It was the song that really introduced to me to Pink Floyd. The lyrics and the cathartic blast of the Solo. This song is a godamn masterpiece
This song is haunting, even to me, a highschool student. It really reflects my biggest fear of losing time, dying with my questions unanswered. This song really portrays how fragile and short life is. Makes me almost cry
Great breakdown of one of the most iconic Floyd songs. This song has more relevance today then it ever had. The line in the reprise "The tolling of the Iron bell etc." is one of my favourite lyrics in the song. I heard once that this was Waters sharing his anti religious sentiments. The "softly spoken magic spell" making reference to how religion can entrance and deceive people. Always thought that was kind of cool.
Every once in a while this song will strike an emotional chord and I can't help but shed a tear about how real it is and how everyone you've ever met will hear that iron bell when the time comes.
this song gives me anxiety but also motivates me to do what i really want in life. I promise myself I'm going to become a welder, an artist and make music and god damn it i'm gonna do whatever it takes to do it pray for me lads.
This whole series, this "The Dark Side of the Moon Project" is absolutely brilliant. Wow. I hope more people get to see it and experience its completeness. Thank you.
This song, unus annus, and many sleepless nights have basically beaten the fear of death out of me, at this point im more scared of living forever than of the end of mt life, all thanks to all of the reminders of my mortality all over the years i've lived so far
I always thought of the breathe reprise as a description of the afterlife. It is after "the song is over", and it talks about being "home, home again." Metaphorically, death could be seen as being home again, returning to where you once started. Also, the section is more relaxed and less sad, perhaps to signify that the narrator no longer has to worry about time because he is dead. Also, he is "cold and tired" from reality, and maybe the afterlife is where he can finally "warm his bones beside the fire." Meanwhile, "far away across the field" (maybe "across the field" meaning across the field of existence, AKA in real life), there is a funeral for the narrator that is going on: "the tolling of the iron bell brings the faithful to their knees." The people there hear the priest say the words to let the narrator rest in peace - the "softly spoken magic spell". Now the narrator is finally at peace, and the song is truly over.
Without any doubt the greatest, most poetic, artistic and profound recording in the history of popular music. Thanks for reading me why I fell in love with it in the mid 80s as a teenager -already a decade after it was released... I know every groove of that LP like it was imbedded in my very being.
I love this song so much to the point where I didn't think I could love it any more. Boy was I wrong, That was one of the best videos on Pink Floyd I've ever watched. Dude. Thank you.
I've been listening to this album for my entire life and I never knew the real meaning of the song. I'm in my 30s now and you just made this song very real to me.
I literally got nebula to watch more of this and cried a bit when I realized you'd only gotten to the Great Gig in the Sky 😭 This series is so dang good.
I just want to say thank you. I find it very difficult to express how I feel, but i love this album to death and i can never explain why it resonates for me. but you just made that audible for me. thanks again
This is my favorite song from Pink Floyd. I remember hearing it for the first time at a Pink Floyd tribute concert and swearing that I had heard it before on the radio. Right after the concert, Time came on the radio. I never really thought much of the lyrics until I started looking closer into them. I now start to think about my own life and what will come to me when I'm grown. There's so many things I'm not prepared for, and to me, adult life is scary. I think Time perfectly captures the fear of growing up, from the intro, to the bridge, to the chorus, to the outro. Richard Wright's part on this song has always been my favorite, as it talks about how unexpected and suddenly time goes by, and before you know it, you've grown up without a clue of where to go or what to do. I now know that while growing up can be scary, it happens, and all we've got to do is be prepared and pray. Well, that's my story. God, I love this song.
Well, I imagine I'm a lot older than you. To me the song is more about how life can fly by and before you know it the song(life) is over and you have regrets from the things you didn't say, or do. It's awesome how Pink Floyd speaks to everyone. People need to listen.
It's my absolute favorite on Dark Side of the Moon, it's powerful, it's moving and musically and lyrically brilliant and what makes it so magnificent for me is the incredible high of the line:- " No one told you went to run, You missed the starting gun." Have never heard a surge like this in music. The legendary solo that follows, Gilmour's vocals and licks are outstanding. It touches my heart everytime.
Truth be told, this was my first Pink Floyd song that I listened and somehow it accompanied me through on of my darkest moment. After that moment, I started to dig the whole album, and now, whenever one of the song from Dark Side played, I think it’s a call for a short, 44 minutes break to reflect back on our life so far before moving on onwards. Given all the circumstances, I am highly and fully thank you for this series, as it helped me to explore more about life, about our surroundings, and the society that waltz around with us. Once again, thank you very much for this wonderful series.
This is the most important song in my life. You missed the starting gun sends chills through my body, still close to how it felt when I first heard the album
This is my favourite song and I swear that I can feel my heart stopping momentarily during the guitar solo especially when I am feeling a little sentimental. Most would put other guitar solos on top including comfortably numb by gilmour again but I feel this is the most emotional and now - after seeing the analysis - perfectly designed piece of music with every note calculated and designed to convey the utmost reality of humanity
This song was the first Pink Floyd song I actively sought out to listen. Needless to say it’s one of my favorite songs to listen to pass the time...boy I can’t wait for the next installment; my favorite song on Dark Side.
That's why I love this song so much.. The music and the lyrics is very meaningful.. It's hard to find a song that has a lyrics matching perfectly with the music but Pink Floyd has many of it.
My first Pink Floyd album. Changed my life, made my life. It's so profound and meaningful. They were too young to have the wisdom to write lyrics and music of this caliber, but they did, and I know I'm not alone in my gratitude for just that.
The reference to the tolling of the iron bell at the end always reminds me of the end of the poem “For Whom The Bell Tolls”: “…send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.

Its crazy how one of my favourite albums is the one that scares me the most.
Existential crisis time
Lateralus by Tool can provoke an opposite reaction. It's very comforting.
BlackDogsMatter weird how on substances this album feels more comforting and that album is scarier but has the opposite effect when sober
Same thats why I love it so much
Reality is always scary
_The time is gone, the song is over. Thought I'd something more to say._
I want that on my tombstone.
My father's (he was a trumpet player, composer and conductor) last words to me were "Well dear, I seem to have run out of lyrics". That's not on his tombstone, wish it was.
The time has come* :)
I want “Dig Me Up!”

Yeah maybe they just thought it fit there, half of pink floyd songs from their more famous albums have solos just about anywhere in the song anyway
I'm only 18, and yet I can already feel those ten years gone by.
Use the time you've got because it only slips away faster from here
I’m 20 and can tell u it continues to get worse, faster. But it also doesn’t bother me quite as much as 4-2ish years ago I guess.
MadmanMortonYT the fact that you have enough awareness to recognize the importance of the present moment is quite a personal victory. Use your awareness well, and you will be able to be reasonably happy (and occasionally extremely happy).
Wait till you're much older. 2000 Felt like 10 years ago, it's insane. It's all relative, though.

Enjoy!
I just had an existential crisis that lasted around 3 and a half months. It finally went away about 2 weeks ago, but I think it might be coming back....
Thats hot. Thats hot

I think “The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older” is one of the most clever lines ever written. It evokes such powerful imagery of the sun being in the exact same place in the sky at a certain time of day, every day. I can imagine someone growing older each day while the sun remains unchanging in the sky in a timelapse sort of fashion.

Dustin Bradshaw for real. I don’t listen to it very often so I can recreate that feeling. Nothing fancy or ‘difficult’ besides the tone and emotion. You can find David playing it isolated on video. I think from the VH1 classic album series.

This whole album gave me a lot of anxiety
anxiety? I always feel so free and energetic when I hear this songs, some of my absolute favorites.
I think it’s a mix of sheer terror but also sheer amazement. It’s kinda scary but it’s kinda awesome
I always feel my troubles go away. We do not matter, life is short, why worry? :)
You mean it makes you feel, you just happen to not wanna feel those feelings, anxiety is all you, hard to admit but its true, least now you know you can get over that hill because its within you
This album is absolutely terrifying
No, this album is not terrifying, it's only a warning message.
Claude Pagé
Yeah but I'm sure you can see why that might be a terrifying prospect for some people.
Its terrifying but beautiful, just like life.
Bro polyphonic's words are almost as creative as the songs. Like these videos fit the songs' tone, mood, etc so perfectly
Haven't heard "Time" since my mother passed in January. I'm crying my eyes out. The solo just cut through to my core and completely broke me.
Its funny how the last lyric Wright sang before a 2 decade vocal absence was "the song is over, though I'd something more to say"
Favorite song on the album btw starts off with the most annoying alarm clocks in the world that I’ve listened to over a million times

My all time favorite Floyd song. It's just individual perfection in a perfect album.
Last year i spent a week analyzing this song as my final project of music theory. What an experiance. This is an incredible series...
For a project we have to next year I was gonna go through every song on the album 😅
@@mauve9266 If its music theory, bewarned! It's incredibly tough! But so so satisfying when figuring out the song!
Bro may i read your analysis
I feel the voice overs are like snippets of ones ego, the lyrics are mostly ones anxiety, greed, fear etc... and the female backing vocals represent the spiritual need within us all.

But yeah, it wasn't until my late 20s that the lyrical content really spoke to me.
I love that one of the main themes in the song is procrastination and the intro of the song sounds like the band is procrastinating to start the song.
Epic
As much as I love the whole song, I've always thought the reprise of Breathe was the most interesting part. I guess it's just because the first time I heard it, I didn't expect it to do that.
After all that anxiety I think, it still keeps it, but is also in a sense comforting

I think of this song more than ever since my mom passed away almost 2 years ago.
Amazing, wide-angled exploration, as always. Just a little hint. I've looked up the original lyrics written in the 1973 LP gatefold. It stands:
"The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say".
My favorite track on this album and Floyd in general. Ticking clocks, the solo and the reprise make it a pretty unique listen.
This song spoke to me more than any song. It was the song that really introduced to me to Pink Floyd. The lyrics and the cathartic blast of the Solo. This song is a godamn masterpiece
"Time" is my all-time favorite song. Thank you for this write-up on it.
This song is haunting, even to me, a highschool student. It really reflects my biggest fear of losing time, dying with my questions unanswered. This song really portrays how fragile and short life is. Makes me almost cry
One of the reason I am attracted to english is that there is a phrase called enjoy the time

This song always gains relevance as the years pass, no matter who is listening. The one thing we have in common is we all age and die.
Ask not who the bell tolls for, for it tolls for thee.
The intro to time, is one of the most awesome ever. It outshines the song coming after, even.
Every once in a while this song will strike an emotional chord and I can't help but shed a tear about how real it is and how everyone you've ever met will hear that iron bell when the time comes.
this song gives me anxiety but also motivates me to do what i really want in life. I promise myself I'm going to become a welder, an artist and make music and god damn it i'm gonna do whatever it takes to do it pray for me lads.

Also, the section is more relaxed and less sad, perhaps to signify that the narrator no longer has to worry about time because he is dead. Also, he is "cold and tired" from reality, and maybe the afterlife is where he can finally "warm his bones beside the fire." Meanwhile, "far away across the field" (maybe "across the field" meaning across the field of existence, AKA in real life), there is a funeral for the narrator that is going on: "the tolling of the iron bell brings the faithful to their knees." The people there hear the priest say the words to let the narrator rest in peace - the "softly spoken magic spell". Now the narrator is finally at peace, and the song is truly over.
This is probably one of my favourite songs of all time. Such a good feeling
This is my favorite song of all time
Without any doubt the greatest, most poetic, artistic and profound recording in the history of popular music. Thanks for reading me why I fell in love with it in the mid 80s as a teenager -already a decade after it was released... I know every groove of that LP like it was imbedded in my very being.
I always get chills when the song cuts back into 'Breathe'.
time is possibly my favourite song ever.
As a longtime Pink Floyd fan, this was always my favorite tune. I thoroughly enjoy watching this series
That bass rumble from the nebula ad! I felt if down my spine 😯
I love this song so much to the point where I didn't think I could love it any more. Boy was I wrong, That was one of the best videos on Pink Floyd I've ever watched. Dude. Thank you.
The clocks and the alarms at the beginning of this track still startles me even years after I've listened to it.
I've been listening to this album for my entire life and I never knew the real meaning of the song. I'm in my 30s now and you just made this song very real to me.
This is one my favorite songs of all time, my senior quote is a quote from this song - “Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time”
Can’t wait for the next video 😭 great gig in the sky is one of my fav songs from this album 😭
An album so deep and great that every song gets its own video explanation.
I literally got nebula to watch more of this and cried a bit when I realized you'd only gotten to the Great Gig in the Sky 😭 This series is so dang good.
I just want to say thank you. I find it very difficult to express how I feel, but i love this album to death and i can never explain why it resonates for me. but you just made that audible for me. thanks again
'Time' is my favorite song. Nothing else even comes close. 🎶📀
This is my favorite song from Pink Floyd. I remember hearing it for the first time at a Pink Floyd tribute concert and swearing that I had heard it before on the radio. Right after the concert, Time came on the radio.
I never really thought much of the lyrics until I started looking closer into them. I now start to think about my own life and what will come to me when I'm grown. There's so many things I'm not prepared for, and to me, adult life is scary. I think Time perfectly captures the fear of growing up, from the intro, to the bridge, to the chorus, to the outro.
Richard Wright's part on this song has always been my favorite, as it talks about how unexpected and suddenly time goes by, and before you know it, you've grown up without a clue of where to go or what to do. I now know that while growing up can be scary, it happens, and all we've got to do is be prepared and pray.
Well, that's my story. God, I love this song.
Well, I imagine I'm a lot older than you. To me the song is more about how life can fly by and before you know it the song(life) is over and you have regrets from the things you didn't say, or do. It's awesome how Pink Floyd speaks to everyone. People need to listen.
As Pink Floyd says, time is universal.
Can we all agree this is one of the best guitar solo of all TIME?
It's my absolute favorite on Dark Side of the Moon, it's powerful, it's moving and musically and lyrically brilliant and what makes it so magnificent for me is the incredible high of the line:- " No one told you went to run, You missed the starting gun." Have never heard a surge like this in music. The legendary solo that follows, Gilmour's vocals and licks are outstanding. It touches my heart everytime.
Truth be told, this was my first Pink Floyd song that I listened and somehow it accompanied me through on of my darkest moment. After that moment, I started to dig the whole album, and now, whenever one of the song from Dark Side played, I think it’s a call for a short, 44 minutes break to reflect back on our life so far before moving on onwards. Given all the circumstances, I am highly and fully thank you for this series, as it helped me to explore more about life, about our surroundings, and the society that waltz around with us. Once again, thank you very much for this wonderful series.
Dark Side of the Moon is THE Greatest album ever! And Time is my favorite song ever!
This is the most important song in my life. You missed the starting gun sends chills through my body, still close to how it felt when I first heard the album
This is my favourite song and I swear that I can feel my heart stopping momentarily during the guitar solo especially when I am feeling a little sentimental. Most would put other guitar solos on top including comfortably numb by gilmour again but I feel this is the most emotional and now - after seeing the analysis - perfectly designed piece of music with every note calculated and designed to convey the utmost reality of humanity
This song was the first Pink Floyd song I actively sought out to listen. Needless to say it’s one of my favorite songs to listen to pass the time...boy I can’t wait for the next installment; my favorite song on Dark Side.
That's why I love this song so much.. The music and the lyrics is very meaningful.. It's hard to find a song that has a lyrics matching perfectly with the music but Pink Floyd has many of it.
can't wait to get to the great gig in the sky, it'll be marvelous
My first Pink Floyd album. Changed my life, made my life. It's so profound and meaningful. They were too young to have the wisdom to write lyrics and music of this caliber, but they did, and I know I'm not alone in my gratitude for just that.
top 10 floyd songs, top 10 guitar solos of all time. truly a flawless song.
Popular music will never have emotion like this again man
I mean, look out for the future
It's my favorite song in my 3rd personal favorite album ever
The reference to the tolling of the iron bell at the end always reminds me of the end of the poem “For Whom The Bell Tolls”:
“…send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
Ive been sick and this is just what i needed
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day...
One of the absolute best songs ever made, on one of the best albums ever made. Just incredible.
The best song on the best album
