Time is literally one of the coolest songs I’ve ever heard
where you on acids?
Come here bro ❤️
Ever hear a song called *marroned?* 🤣
And the Money riff. Cannot not dance on this
I love that you call it a song. Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time and the best way to describe a pink floyd album is to call it a song :)
great gig in the sky: *one of the best vocal performances of all time*
nightwalk: “yeah the piano was definitely the standout”
I thought it became a biittt redundant by the end, but it definitely was impressive as hecky!
@@NightwalkReal yeah i think i can understand where you’re coming from. great reaction though, love watching people hear this for the first time!
I think you might knock redundancy a bit much from what I’ve seen.. it’s music, there’s gonna be a pattern within...
Also, when you mentioned ‘the’ deerhunter, were you referring to Bradley Cox’s Deerhunter?
@@NightwalkReal Richard Wright's keyboard playing in my opinion is one of the magical elements to Pink Floyd's music.
Fun fact about The Great Gig in the Sky, the vocalist, Clare Torry, was given the backing track and was just told to sing. When she asked if there was anything they had in mind, the producer told her to think about death. She recorded it in one take and literally left every jaw dropped
Edit: was two takes. Point still stands
It was 2 takes
They did many takes and went with the first one !
@@jamesturner2914 it was two. First one she sings “baby baby yeah” type wordy stuff, they said no. She thought to herself to become an instrument, and did what you hear in the next take.
Ive heard that they didn’t really have any ideas to give her before she started singing, I was under the impression she went in completely blind. I also have heard that the band members weren’t entirely impressed after she left.
nah the band was very like "'meh"' after
Its a concept album, thats why it feels like one big song
tbf even a lot of concept albums don't really do that. Even The Wall feels far more broken up into little pieces
Just like Abbey Road from The Beatles, the whole album felt like a big song
The slow tempo change on Time is actually the reprise of Breathe
home,home again...
@@_thegunsofbrixton8039 I like to be here... when I can

@Edwin Aray tolling on the iron bells
There's a reason why this album was on the top 20 chart for over 20 years.
This album should be required listening in schools.
"I had heard a song or two from Pink Floyd in the past, and I wasn't the biggest fan-"
Three Songs Later: 11:27
Reminded me of that scene from the Misadventures of Flapjack where Captain K'nuckles saw that dog do a flip.
Time is the song that converted me too. I started the same way.
But I was complaining to one of my friends via text chat about how much time has passed in my life too quickly, he quotes the song "You are young and life is long. There is time to kill today, and then one day you'll find 10 years have gone behind you" and I said "I could not have worded it better" and he just sends me the youtube link to the song Time.
David claims another victim ....
And he didn't pay attention to the lyrics... That are just amazing
3:24 to skip the intro - but there are important things to note so do so at your own risk!
I am so happy you picked this album.
I love Pink Floyd as much as I love Muse. In fact, lately, I've been listening to Pink Floyd more than Muse
Remember when you did "If Muse played High Hopes ?"
With that being said, I would love if you do a reaction to Pink Floyd's song High Hopes, live at Gdansk 2006.
The youtube video will not be titled "Pink Floyd: High Hopes" it'll be "David Gilmour: High Hopes" A.K.A their guitar player. But it is technically half of Pink Floyd because their founding keyboard player, Richard Wright, was there too(with little to no spotlight in the live video until the end). I personally love that version because that was the last gig that Wright performed before he died in 2008, but another thing that might be appealing is that it includes a live orchestral arrangement.
Another note: The female vocalist for Great Gig in The Sky(since you asked in the reaction) is Clare Torry, their producer suggested her to the band, when they were thinking of a gospel singer.
Do the Wish You Were Here or Animals albums they’re fantastic
Animals is great, I agree
The Wall, to,
he can't handle Animals... *Hopes this blatant attempt works*
@@EstebanAlvarez_ Damn some people are going to flame you over that opinion.
@@EstebanAlvarez_ No I agree with you I've listen to every album of Pink Floyd multiple times, and I have to think that atom heart mother is the four most beautiful album after the first (which is animals) the second (DS of the M) and the third (the wall) .
Speak to Me starts with random sounds all around...your in the womb. Then you hear the baby screaming, and bam you are in the world, breathe, breathe in the air. Then your On the Run through your adolescents into Time and you become an old man...One day you find ten years have got behind you. Then you die, going to the Great Gig in the Sky and the angels sing as they take you away from this world. On the journey there you reflect on life and the Money, War...the Us and Them...and your own sanity and Brain Damage you have had...which is all Eclipsed by the things that really matter to you in the end.
Idk if this or original but if it is that is an amazing view on it
@@coaster123x7 My Uncle had a Pink Floyd tribute band for a long long time. I grew up with Floyd as my favorite band. This was his take on the album that he explained to me when I was a teenager. I'm 40 now and I still tell people this in more or less words whenever we get to talking about this album.
What about any colour you like ?
@@hepburnposts1675 I guess you can interpret that however you like. To me it is just a perfect bridge between two songs.
On the run is not about adolescents. It's about the fragility of human life

Dark Side is classic but Animals has always been my favorite Floyd album.
I strongly agree brotha, animals is my fav as well
Animals is one of my favorites. The Wall is my personal favorite but it could be a toss up between any of their albums from 71-79
"A huge part of me just wishes I could transport myself into '73, be aware of the context of everything that was around in the era, and hear the album then. I feel like the album would hit a lot differently back then."
True.
...also weed.
weed is a light snack compared to what the Pink Floyd fans were consuming at the time haha
@@SuperSupermanX1999 You aren't living until you've listened to DSOTM on Acid
The intro of the album is supposed to be the sound of someone being born. There's a heartbeat, then a woman screaming as she's giving birth. That same screaming vocal is on The Great Gig in the Sky, representing death instead.
Damn, this way you can interpret fading heartbeat at the end of the album as dying 🤔 Or maybe just living on despite all the problems, or DAMN, passing on the live (making a bebe), damn, I love this band
Thanks for listening to this one with us, mate. Despite not doing reactions too often, you are one of the better reacting channels exactly because you are honest and say it up front if you're underwhelmed. That way when something does really appeal to you, it's exciting!
Well said
Glad you enjoyed the video! I try to keep it real, but thankfully almost all the music I've reacted to has been to my taste.
"Feels like one long song" because it's a concept album... about life from beginning to end. The art of this album is that it is literally a living, breathing concept... about life! I agree that you'll have a different perspective if you listen to it again... with the lyrical themes at the foremost of your mind.
The transition between Us & Them and Any Colour You Like is Godtier, I love it so much
Huge Floyd fan. If you’re looking for more, personally I think Dark Side, Animals, and Meddle are their masterpieces. Also excellent: Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Obscured By Clouds, The Final Cut
The Final Cut is so underrated. Sure it feels like more of a Waters solo album compared to the rest of Floyd's stuff, but the music, lyrics, and instrumentation are so on point throughout the whole thing! It's worth it just for that moment where Waters' goes "hold on to the dreeeeeeeam-" and it melts into the saxophone, yum yum
@@SuperSupermanX1999 agreed! It gets way too much hate. The line from “when the tigers broke free” where he says “that’s how the high command took my daddy from me” chokes me up every time. It’s a very emotion album!
@@SuperSupermanX1999 That’s my favorite moment in any Pink Floyd song
The Final Cut sucks ass. It’s not even worth comparing to Dark side, wish you were here, animals, meddle, the wall
In The Court of The Crimson King next
Awesome album 🤘🏼
Yes please.
Yes!! Discipline is SOLID as well
Screamy red man!
Yeah
There was a meme a few years ago. "One does not simply listen to Pink Floyd on shuffle". The songs aren't supposed to be listened to individually. Its supposed to be a cohesive piece.
The Dark Side of the Moon is arguably the greatest music album ever created.
no, it just is.
The looseness and flow and freedom of the music are a product of this material being developed live first. They played these songs for awhile and got very comfortable with them before recording.
if I recall correctly, you said you tend to focus more on the instrumental aspect of albums on the first listen, and then on the lyrics later. while the instrumentals are phenomenal on this album, the messages it sends are also very thought provoking and powerful. I think you'll have a greater appreciation for the intro and ending tracks once you focus on the lyrics. brain damage and eclipse are my favorites on the album due to their lyrical content, and the crescendo going into the choruses and the beginning of eclipse are to die for. glad you enjoyed the album :)
I’m very similar to NW. I can listen to an album for literal years and not pick up on all the words.
Omg yessssssssssssss. You just listen to all my favorite music it's mad. So excited to watch this
Funeral by Arcade Fire is a masterpiece! I'd highly recommend it. The instrumentation is beautiful.
Yeeeeesssss
Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Arcade Fire, three of my favourite bands.
Great pfp!
Honestly, this is why I enjoy your reactions to music above anyone else on this platform. I can easily tell you invest yourself into the music you listen to, and that you're willing to give it a shot by the way you reference other tracks, and tell us what you appreciate about them on the way. This is SO much more valuable than your run-of-the-mill reaction channel with an overly hyped and rehearsed intro, and over the top reactions to everything giving the viewers a fake impression of what you actually think.
I'm super glad you seem to be doing more reactions as of late, I always watch them and love them. The genuine reactions is seriously why they are entertaining. Keep it up, brother!
(Also still rooting for Era Vulgaris
My favorite is definitely Time. Also, Brain Damage/Eclipse is one of the best album closers I think I've ever heard. It ties everything so perfectly together and is a meaningful track in general.
Alan Parsons was the engineer on this album. You can really here him in the mix.
I once worked alongside some guys from a Pink Floyd tribute band and they had a saxophonist/ backing singer that absolutely killed great gig in the sky vocal part. She now sings on the BBC show Strictly Come dancing.
Brain Damage-Eclipse is in my opinion the best closer to an album I’ve ever heard. I think it might be because it relates heavily to my own experiences but the themes and the execution are just so perfect, and the fucking sudden switch between the two just blows my mind every time
"there's no guarantee ill like it"
Hahaha yeah sure 😏
Can we get a Grace by Jeff Buckley reaction
Us and Them is definitely a highlight for me. I must have listened to this album hundreds of times and I still feel like I discover something new every time. The beginning of Time destroyed a lot of tweeters for me, I don't know if my amp was clipping but I used to have to turn the volume down before the clocks came in.
I bet you would like The Wall by Pink Floyd more. It is even darker than this album (I would even say colder), more theatrical, has way less vocal layerings while still maintaining the classic Pink Floyd beautiful sound.
The dear hunter are amazing! Especially act V, that album is a masterpiece! Glad you dig them, have a great day!
You need to react to King Crimson. Any album will do, but I recommend In the Court of the Crimson King. I still cannot believe it was made in 1969.
Or Red
This
@@JakeFloyd00 or the one in your profile pic haha
@@StratoHari2 hah that'd be great but idk if Nightwalk would be down to reacting to a 2h long album 😂
i think he would really love discipline
Talking Heads - Remain In Light
yes
Yes
yessssss please
Yes
I think you’ll get to enjoy Breathe with further listens, it is an incredibly chill song but its so good when you’re in that kind of mood, weed helps to enjoy the song too lol. Also Any Color You Like is my fav song on the album lol it’s so good
I remember I was an exchange student in US years back listening to a popular pandora pre streaming services and I knew Pink Floyd was this treasure but never was too interested in them... long story short it was Breathe (In the air) pulled me in. You are sooooo right
It was the same for me lol, I never ever listened to Pink Floyd before, but man that day i took my first acid and put a random playslist then Breathe (In the air) popped up and that beautiful sensation of peace caught me for ever
The Lyrics are the most important part of this damn album! The record is a concept album about the troubles of life and everything that drive people insane. Hence it’s original working title: “A Piece For Assorted Lunatics”
What a genuine pleasure seeing you react to one of my favorite albums of all time. I listened to Dark side of the moon very early on in my life and every time that i listened to it after a, say 5 year break, i find more and more of what the album wants me to find. It's a treasure trove of epic sound. Im glad to hear you heard it.
Superb reaction man. Love the honesty, really unique. I knew you'd love it, and all of your "complaints" were fair and make sense.
Thanks a ton for the comment! Hope you have a great day
First Pablo Honey and now this? You are rocking it, dude!
I totally understand you preference for not paying attention to the lyrics on the first time, but man, they are very important when it comes to Pink Floyd.
I feel not so much for Dark Side, since the ambience and instrumental explosions are the highlights, but for the later Waters-dominated albums absolutely (Animals, Wall, Final Cut)
@@SuperSupermanX1999 yeah, for sure, I said it mostly cause he didn't catch the power of the lyrics on the last songs, which I really think the lyrics play a major role in the general feel of conclusion in the album, and that feel really shines when considering the themes of the first couple of songs. The album really completes itself, in instrumentation and in lyrics, which make it the masterpiece it is haha
He is not gonna grasp the meaning on his first listen though. To this day people are still making theories about what the lyrics really mean.
Animals is probably my favorite album from them. Meddle should also be on your list simply for Echoes which is like the best rock epic
I would love a reaction to Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights.
You need to do "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals". "The Wall" is a concept album, so it might be best to wait before you do that one.
In celebration of it's anyversary, march 1st 1973 / march 1st 2022, came here looking for anything to watch about dark side, glad I found your video and lived with you the whole experience and felt like it was me when I first listened to the album. Thank you for giving me that feeling and making me cry on the solo on "TIME".
No other album comes close to this in terms of time spent on the top 200 album billboard chart ,no even The Beatles. Over 700 weeks or 15 plus years on the chart. Love how the album finishes with the fading heartbeat as at the start indicating a musical loop with no end. Brilliant. As too were you ,hope you do more Floyd ,Maybe The Wall for an off the wall musical treat.
I'd love to see you reacting to Sigur Ros's Agaetis Byrjun, () or Takk... - each one is a great journey :D
Yes, please.
It would be amazing, but he's not going to like!!! Hahaha
You made my Friday night better thanks!
Glad to hear it :)
Fun to watch your reaction.
I'd recommend re-listening to it with the added context of some history of the band. Syd Barrett, founding member, and the driving force of the band's formative years, had struggled with schizophrenia - not helped by copious use of psychedelics - and had broken down to the point that he was booted out of the band. Dark Side of the Moon is almost a study of loosing your mind. Lots of the samples and chord progressions are meant to "drive you mad", like the alarm ring, and ticking clock/metronome in Time, or the repeating cash register in Money. The footsteps and helicopter sounding synth in On The Run give the impression that you're being chased and give an eerie urgency to the otherwise slow tempo. The improvised lyrical performance in Great Gig In The Sky is representative of the blissful state of being detached from reality, along with the almost circus melody makes you feel like you've really lost it. Sporadically placed throughout the album are people saying random things like "I'm not afraid of dying, why should I be" and "I'm not playing a game!", these are clips of friends of the band responding to off the cuff questions and meant to give the impression of a schizophrenic person hearing voices.
Pink Floyd's music is very nuanced and intentional, even though some things are improvised, they're always thinking on another level when it comes to the concept of the piece. I too didn't take to a lot of their music, until I started to listen to the albums on the whole and paying attention to the themes and motivation behind the music.
This was the first album I ever bought and I still listen to it today. After all these years it never gets old. What joy it brought me watching you discover this for the first time. Your expressions were priceless. :)
Wow I’m surprised you haven’t listened to them
you have an excellent ear. enjoyed the reaction. i love how us and them is placed between - as you called it - the “holy trinity of time, ggits and money”, and my holy trinity of any color you like, brain damage and eclipse (the greatest album closer ever on the greatest album ever). time, money etc cover heavy or energetic emotions, and us & them allows for a moment of pause and contemplation. Before EXPLODING into the groove of any color you like. this is a flawless album.
I'm really glad you did some Pink Floyd!
Big thumbs up for Alan Parsons the sound engineer on this one, superb work.
Yay! You are the first I’ve heard comment on that brief pitch change after Great Gig. It has always stood out to me, even as a 12 year old, back in the 80’s, when I first heard (or really *listened* to) this album. It’s such an intriguing little bit. There’s interesting commentary/speculation on how it came to be in a BBC Radio program deconstructing some of Pink Floyd’s songs. They have the original multi-tracks and find all sorts of odd bits buried in them. It’s a cool listen for Floyd fans.

To get a good insight on the album, Polyphonic made a series of youtube videos "The Dark Side of The Moon Project" where it's a video essay series(one video per song, but the first 2 and last 2 are grouped in one video) about the lyrics, music, and Making Of the music
I've commented a lot on this reaction just because it's something I wanted to see from your channel but wasn't expecting.
I do agree with your top 4, but I would also include Any Colour You Like, such a smooth improvisation from the whole band, and when they perform live, that one jam could go up to 10 minutes.
That was very enjoyable to watch. Always such a joy to hear someone else's take on an album I've heard thousands of times. I'd love to see you check out "Animals", "The Wall" or really any other PF album :).
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Also loved your reaction to Any Colour You Like, it's such a layered song, I never realized it but the 'call and response' aspect of the song is what I liked the most, but never had a name for.
Guys no one tell him how amazing the guitar solo in “Comfortably Numb” is
Lol. Shhh. It's a secret how good David Gilmour is.
Especially the Pulse version
And the lyrics to time are some of the best, as I've grown older I've appreciated it more and more especially
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"
Really resonates to life, you're young and think you have all the time in the world but in the blink of an eye you're old and the sun is setting...
This isn’t a perfect album by any means, but hearing this age 14 turned me from a filthy casual into an actual music fan. This is the album that made me want to explore and discover new music, so in that respect it definitely changed my life
Yes, the feeling that this album it's a very long song it's intentional. The chords of Breathe are in almost all the songs, like a leitmotiv.
Fantastic reaction, I promise you multiple listenings make the album even better.
You Know, the thing about Pink Floyd is that it’s not only the music, when you actually read the lyrics it’s just mind blowing (big reason why Pink Floyd is such a praised band), and although I myself just like you didn’t quite catch the lyrics on my first listen, I really do recommend you to check them out because they add a whole bunch to the album itself.
I should also recommend polyphonic’s series explaining the album, they do a fantastic job of explaining the whole thing in extreme detail without making it boring in any way shape or form.
Anyways, cool vid man, interesting to see someone else’s non-biased opinion on one of my all time favorite albums, see ya ✌️
I knew you’d dig Time. Probably one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd tracks.
Have you ever checked out Porcupine Tree? You would love them! I highly recommend reacting to their album Deadwing. It'd be right up your alley.
agreed!
Deadwing is a masterpiece.
Fourth'ed
I love that you mentioned The Dear Hunter! They are MAD underrated and Dig You Own Grave is a completely nuts song.
I feel like the opening and closing songs are a bit more understated because they act as the build-up and cool-down for what's in the middle. Listening to them on their own, yeah I'd forget in a few minutes, but as part of the album as a whole they help it to really pace itself in a way not too many albums do and it's so effective. I can listen to Dark Side over and over again because the whole thing flows so well
I already thought Time was one of the greatest songs ever made, but now I'm like, CONVINCED that Time is one of the greatest songs ever made
The artificial squealing sound in 'On The Run' actually reminded me of Cristobal Tapia De Veer's work. He composed for the UK TV show Utopia, which has one of the most bizarre soundtracks I've ever heard, being a mix of voice synths and a heavy dose of percussive elements. If you enjoyed that part of Pink Floyd you might want to check him out too :)
Such a delight to see you finally become enlightened!
This initial 70s prog is my favourite. Jazzy, folky and whimsical
If you want a similar vibe check out "In the Land of Grey and Pink" by Caravan - it's like Pink Floyd meets Tolkien
i've seen other people react to the whole album and they didn't have to chop it up like this .. But on the other hand, my first time watching and i like your reaction and the way you analyze the music and how you perceive it
Vocalist on Great gig in the sky is Clare Torry
god that transition from us and then to any colour you like is just phenomenal
Your music theory is on point. “Any Colour You Like” is probably my favorite song on the album because of the synth and funk guitar with the delay. The only thing you have to know is that the songs in which aren’t technically structured musically, the lyrics are a separate instrument in itself. Just like Tool - and why PF was such a huge influence on them
I love when people listen to Pink Floyd for the first time. They have some sort of cosmic reveal.
Hey man. Really been enjoying your videos. You have a great ear and articulate what you're digesting very well. I find it fascinating when the younger generation dives into some of what were extremely important and memorable albums for those of us who lived through them.
Going by your taste I'm going to suggest a few pinnacle albums that (as OK Computer) were also important and groundbreaking in how they fused together rock and electronic music elements as well as have a flair for capturing the slightly darker side of what pop music can be.
These are just suggestions and regardless, you've got yourself a new Fan and Follower.
1. Depeche Mode-Violator or Ultra
2. Smashing Pumpkins-Siamese Dream
3. U2-Achtung Baby
4. Duran Duran-Duran Duran (1981)
5. Nine Inch Nails-Broken or The Downward Spiral
6. The Notwist-Neon Golden
7. The Cure-Disintegration
What an honest and at the same time great reaction to Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon. As a long time Pink Floyd fan I rarely listen to that album. Based on your reaction I wonder how you would react to Animals from Pink Floyd. I'm quite sure you would like it a lot as it is... well... you don't what to say more... 😎👍
Time is such a beautiful song, one of my favorites.
I am a fan of your queens of the Stone Age videos. I love your musical knowledge. There are a few more queens albums you must listen to ;)
If you want more of the open space long improvisational sort of songwriting, I got to recommend Animals. Five tracks, with two of them being intro and outro and the three in the middle being all 10+ minute long sonic explorations.
Fun reaction! (also another recommendation for the Wish You Were Here album if you wanted to do more Pink Floyd)
Bro, the lyrics though, the mood and journey.
I love the intro ❤️
You've got to smoke a big fat one, turn down the lights close your eyes and listen all the way through. I'm afraid one of the things we did in the 70's that is missing today is getting together with a bunch of your friends smokin' out and listening to this album on vinyl on a really good sound system. I know most people these days would say you shouldn't have to get high to appreciate music but you have to realize at that time everyone was high even the guys who made the album. So it truly is part of the whole experience. Every time I hear this album it takes me back to the days when smoking a joint was like drinking a beer. It was like being high was the normal state of mind for everyone who listened to this music. It's almost like there was no point to listening to the album without being stoned. I think if you ask anyone who was around back then who listened to this album they would inevitably mention how pot was somehow involved. That was just the laid back ambiance of the time...I always joke with people who smoke pot these days and tell we smoked it before it was "medicinal". LOL
I love watching people's first reactions to classic music like Floyd and see them discover what some of the roots that paved the way to modern music was like :3
Have you reacted to Rush yet? If you’re looking for Prog w/ energy, they’re definitely worth diving in to.
Radiohead and Pink Floyd are my favourite bands ever. Im so happy you went through with one and now starting with the other. Your honest and knowledgeable reactions are like a fresh breeze of air to this epidemic of exagerated reaction vids. So kudos to you.
And yeah i think floyd albums call for repetive listen to sink in better. They made concept albums with a good flow to them.
I love the whole album, but today my favourite tracks are Time and Any Colour You Like.
If you wanna do more PF reactions i would recomend you to do Wish You Were Here next.
Damn. I got obsessed with radiohead's albums this year and then I got obsessed with pink floyd's albums. Starting to think we're the same person. If my theory holds The Strokes should be next.
Happy you enjoyed it dude. It's my favourite album of theirs. In your free time you should check out their live concert PULSE! No one can argue that Pink Floyd did not have one of, if not the best concerts of all time. Must watch concert for sure. And if you want to react to more of their music, the live at Pompeii DVD is amazing as well. They literally recorded it at the Pompeii ruins.
I thought there would be more of a reaction with the transition of the 1st track and breathe, that always hits me super hard
I find that a lot of the same joy I experience from Radiohead's music, I also experience with Pink Floyd. Not to say they sound the same, but that they both appeal to me in similar ways (great albums to dig into and revisit, huge on atmosphere, often almost painfully beautiful)
This video represents me, because I'm also a big fan of Muse, I saw them on their last tour in Mexico City, the point is that a few months ago I started listening to Pink Floyd, I also knew some songs, currently I'm in love with their albums, Pink Floyd has touched the most human parts of me, it is all an introspection ... it was fun to see your stress in On the run and that is what it represents, I assure you that with each listen you will love them more and nothing more to say , good video and listen to echoes on LSD haha
Wish you paid more attention to the lyrics but good reaction !
Hi! Bout to watch this. Wanted to get a question outta the way. When are you gonna react to the live in the basement from the king of limbs era? Hope all is well fella!
As you'll find out when you do a mammoth hour plus reaction to the whole of 'The Wall' - instead of saying "is there anyone there?"
You should have said, "Is there anybody . . . out there?"
Also I would concur that the run from Time through Great gig, Money and into Us and Them is the real meat of the album (Us and Them probably the most underrated track on the record).
I'd say that Brain Damage / Eclipse will grow on you . . . And on further listens you'll start hearing Talk to me / Breathe / On the Run / Time and the Breathe reprise at the end of Time as one continuous performance.
Breathe has definitely become my favourite track that I didn't immediately love on first listen, and I think its because of how it almost bookends Time.
Also, did you say your cat was called Toby? I also have a ginger cat called Toby (after Tobias Rag from Sweeney Todd - his calico sister is called 'Elphie' as in Elphaba Trott - from Wicked).
The Dear Hunter. You should check out “deerhunter” album microcastle. It’s amazing!
then DIIV - Oshin and Ride - Going Blank Again
I feel like this album can be 100% appreciated only if you know the story behind, the lyrics and the general theme of the album. It’s a whole different experience imo
care to elaborate
I don't know, when I first heard the album in 1973, I didn't know the backstory and still loved it.
It is meant as a concept album, an album that tells a story, so at least for me, the music can't be separated from the lyrics. The lyrics and the theme of the album make this piece of work truly incredible. Like for instance, Eclipse is musically only a "nice" closer, but if contextualized with the whole story, it just hits different. It's more than a nice closer, it's the climax and the core of the album
hey man. Now you have to listen to the Echoes. by Pink Floyd
Excellent work, as always! Since Dark Side is a concept album, I had an idea: check out 3030 by Deltron. It’s an underground hip-hop album that takes place in the year 3030. It was produced by Dan the Automator and I think the level of musicality will kind of freak you out haha
