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.

@@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…

this album is incredibly difficult to listen to casually, it's just heavy, it's far too real to just be tossed on the radio during commuting hours- and yet it is. I guess I just don't know how folks manage to not weep. EDIT: I want to thank everyone for their comments and likes. Let me elucidate my thoughts more thoroughly. I come from a family inundated with mental illness. We are also full of ambition and financial/political/social success. These two together are a very interesting and, oftentimes, brutal beast. Often the challenges of one overcomes the other. Looking into my uncle's eyes after a lifetime of schizophrenia and neglect, and seeing that we aren't so different is jarring. Seeing how full of life he was at one time to this husk that now can just barely shuffle around- it's horrifying. Combine that with the full understanding that our societal contract to the helpless and the hapless has long been trampled and torn, it pains me to see so many lose their lives to mental illness. To know that if my familial situation was any different, I too would be out on the streets, probably a defiled mess, quite possibly already dead. It pains me because I know this doesn't have to be life in America. There have been times in the near past where this was not our reality, and there are nations striving, rn, to change that for themselves as well- there is another way. But so long as we refuse to value life, homeless, or housed, we will not change course. The other key part to this is that for the sane-enough to survive and provide, we have to sacrifice the majority of our lives to the rich and powerful. Ive watched my father break his back for 70 hrs (not including commute) a week my entire life. Why is this normal???? Why is it normal to have to turn your back on everything you hold dear, just to to survive??? I would understand if every single company was taking on water, nearer to bankruptcy each day, AND wealthy admin/board/shareholders were taking pay cuts as well--but they aren't. Workers and their families do not have to live like this, but to support the weight of this hyper-fast, now now now culture, and the bursting bellies of the rich....we must? These are some of the things I think about when listening to The Floyd, and after seeing Roger live last week, I think I'm interpreting them properly. Much love and respite to you all

A jewel in the entirety of music ever written, perforned, and recorded. This album stands up against symphonies easily, probably none of Beethoven's symphonies, but Handel? Easily. Bach? Man wishes he had delay back then lol. This album will continue to play after Pink is gone, after we're gone. It is a testament to the human condition. We get so wrapped up in our pursuit of Money and power that Us and them seem one in the same, constantly trying to gain an edge to make our lives easier.. it gets so chaotic trying to hunt down the money, that we lose track of Time and forget to stop and just Breathe.

The album begins with a heartbeat - and ends with the ceasing of a heartbeat. In between we have versions of the different stages of life - and death. It took a lifetime of me living out the moments for myself - over 50 years - to fully appreciate the uselessness of living after having lived. Nothing matters in the end - nobody cares when your gone - and soon enough those nobody's die too and soon enough there's no one around who remembers you ever existed.

Murray, you sound even more depressed than me but maybe you are me in 20 years. I just wanted to let you know that i am thinking of you during the eclipse and i will remember your comment when i hear those heartbeats. One thing's for sure Life is ephemeral. And we all pretty much want just someone to care that we exist, and that we existed. I wish you relief from being haunted by the idea of a complete vacuum of emotion. I know that i hear this album differently tonight than i would have at any other point in my life. And at the end of the day, the feelings you struggle with and face, are those of the human condition. Sometimes music offers a release from that but not even music and sublimation can always save us from facing our worst fears. I'm with you on that. I think this album now reminds you of loss - of changes causing grief - a bit like when my father used to read the obituaries in the paper each day. I haven't reached that point yet but he passed away before i was an adult. Pink Floyd reminds me of Dad. I would say that you should not tune into music that reminds you of existential brooding, however aesthetic and vaunted it might be, and try to find some new music that might actually help relax and comfort you in real time. Please let me know if you would like any recommendations. And please don't think it's a sign of not giving a crap if I don't reply for a long time. The offer will still stand, consider me a very preoccupied Luddite who would like to point you towards some music that can help lift your mood if you would like. That would pretty much go for anyone who relates to your comment too. We are all just mortal. ✌️

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
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 ❤️🙏

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".

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 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!

What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing your awesome experience.
@@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…
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 🌈💎

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!!

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
Still one of the most beautifully composed albums ever written
back in the 70's when you bought a stereo system you played this album on it to test the dynamics...

It is superbly crafted as a piece of art. As a single piece, the album is stunning.

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

"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.
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.
This whole album speaks on the condition of existence. It's my favorite album of all time, barred none.
The most hypnotic music ever written.

Pink Floyd is just something else and this album is fantastic to say the least. They gave us many masterpieces
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 !
In 150 or 200 years, this will be their "classical" music, their Beethoven or Chopin.
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
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

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???

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.
Born in the'50's, grew up '60's-'70's. Now it's 2021 and I see a ton of these shirts, etc. I sit here listening to this. Sure does take me back!

Me too, born in 1957.
Me too...love it.💯
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!
This is one of best albums ever, I owned it from my half sister who worked for CBS. I got it for Christmas one year. Martina Patricia Guest💗💋💖💎💖💋
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
It isn't just an album, it is roadmap to my soul
"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.
One of the best songs created on this earth. Thank you Pink Floyd!!!
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
Masterpiece, no words just heaven….❤
"The Dark Side of the Moon" is a classic example of progressive rock.
did you see it?
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!
not me i was stoned all the way thru school
Omg yes, I love your comment
This album is one of my all time favorites
Hey kids! it's ok to listen to an entire album. Go ahead you don't need to be afraid!
Embrace the fear with out the fear what is good?
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?
Any colour you like will always make me feel mellow even when i'm feeling down, always perks me up and chills me out.......
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..
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!
Any colour you like is my favorite song.
me too
it's like some random minecraft music popping just after us and them, but it's so good to hear...
I worked nights at a small coney island in Detroit mid 70's. It had a Wurliizur quadraphonic jukebox, the the key in the back. I'd play Any Colour You Like endlessly for free. All that tube sound with Floyd was ecstatic. Love the song to this day.
Também é a minha preferida
Yeah 🌈🎹
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.
❤💙
Pink Floyd always has had deep emotional songs that reaches out to everyone. Maybe 1 day the world will understand that we all are united & make the change 🙏
Deep is a mild word here…
One love
The Kingdom is here
Psychedelics have that effect.........or so I've been told! My son got a philosophy degree. At commencement the speaker kept referencing Pink Floyd!!! I was surprises and intrigued and kinda concerned! My son is a lawyer now so professors knew exactly what they were doing
@@ryanrutledge4532 ??!🤨🤣
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
A belated happy birthday. Probably the very best birthday gift ever. Hope you are still listening in another 40 years time.
@@mikewilliams3384 my hope is to listen to eclipse as I take my last breath
Mine was the 28th. Happiest Birthday to us!!!🥳🥳💚💜💙
Can't have 1 without the other..
I was 13 I 1973.. money was a hit on WLS CHICAGO radio...got to hear dark side on 8-track in summer of 77.. purple microdot
Mind blowing how they made such music in that time... Out of this planet
Hi I recommend taking a listen to a song called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
@dhouse thank you i was gonna put my two sents but i tip my hat to you sir.
@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…
Such a timeless classic this album is. Thank you.🙏
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.

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.
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.
this album is incredibly difficult to listen to casually, it's just heavy, it's far too real to just be tossed on the radio during commuting hours- and yet it is. I guess I just don't know how folks manage to not weep. EDIT: I want to thank everyone for their comments and likes. Let me elucidate my thoughts more thoroughly. I come from a family inundated with mental illness. We are also full of ambition and financial/political/social success. These two together are a very interesting and, oftentimes, brutal beast. Often the challenges of one overcomes the other. Looking into my uncle's eyes after a lifetime of schizophrenia and neglect, and seeing that we aren't so different is jarring. Seeing how full of life he was at one time to this husk that now can just barely shuffle around- it's horrifying. Combine that with the full understanding that our societal contract to the helpless and the hapless has long been trampled and torn, it pains me to see so many lose their lives to mental illness. To know that if my familial situation was any different, I too would be out on the streets, probably a defiled mess, quite possibly already dead. It pains me because I know this doesn't have to be life in America. There have been times in the near past where this was not our reality, and there are nations striving, rn, to change that for themselves as well- there is another way. But so long as we refuse to value life, homeless, or housed, we will not change course. The other key part to this is that for the sane-enough to survive and provide, we have to sacrifice the majority of our lives to the rich and powerful. Ive watched my father break his back for 70 hrs (not including commute) a week my entire life. Why is this normal???? Why is it normal to have to turn your back on everything you hold dear, just to to survive??? I would understand if every single company was taking on water, nearer to bankruptcy each day, AND wealthy admin/board/shareholders were taking pay cuts as well--but they aren't. Workers and their families do not have to live like this, but to support the weight of this hyper-fast, now now now culture, and the bursting bellies of the rich....we must? These are some of the things I think about when listening to The Floyd, and after seeing Roger live last week, I think I'm interpreting them properly. Much love and respite to you all
What is there to weep? It s a great album from the greatest progressive rock band of all time.
@@foliumofdescartes7949 I get what they are saying, it's a work of art; and art can move one to tears
I like how you used the word “heavy” to describe the album, and I do agree with you man, this is something just too deep, you really have to sit or lay down whenever you know you got spare time, to take it all in and enjoy it and reflect on the lyrics
@@JuanLopez-tq7zf million percent....only the very few will get it's true meaning.....
@@foliumofdescartes7949 weep as in when one has been really moved by something. Being totally in ore of something.
Funny how music transcends time, I was 13 in 1998 when I discovered this album & instantly fell in love 🌈
No surprise that this has been /is the #1 album of all time! Pink Floyd RULES! FOREVER! THANK GOD!!
It is not an album It is a lifestory
This album is pure greatness 👍
This album is a jewel in progressive rock. Indisputable masterpiece.
Totally agree with you Sergio. I listen to Pink Floyd each and every day. I do it as part of my daily exercise routine. And enjoy both immensely.
Dark Side of The Moon
@@chscelebrity8325 great comment. There is a whole philosophy of unspoken thoughts. A breakthrough....we started learning about mental illness through Syd Barret
@@julieferrone1311 yes my favorite is wish you were here for that reason
A jewel in the entirety of music ever written, perforned, and recorded. This album stands up against symphonies easily, probably none of Beethoven's symphonies, but Handel? Easily. Bach? Man wishes he had delay back then lol. This album will continue to play after Pink is gone, after we're gone. It is a testament to the human condition. We get so wrapped up in our pursuit of Money and power that Us and them seem one in the same, constantly trying to gain an edge to make our lives easier.. it gets so chaotic trying to hunt down the money, that we lose track of Time and forget to stop and just Breathe.
The album begins with a heartbeat - and ends with the ceasing of a heartbeat. In between we have versions of the different stages of life - and death. It took a lifetime of me living out the moments for myself - over 50 years - to fully appreciate the uselessness of living after having lived. Nothing matters in the end - nobody cares when your gone - and soon enough those nobody's die too and soon enough there's no one around who remembers you ever existed.
a rather bleak & post-mortem second-hand take....Enjoy the now, it's all we have.
except those rare embers of the divine spark that bring us such genius as this album for one. they achieve the only true immortality, to never be forgotten. You can achieve the same. shoot for the moon, better to try and fail than not try at all
Murray, you sound even more depressed than me but maybe you are me in 20 years. I just wanted to let you know that i am thinking of you during the eclipse and i will remember your comment when i hear those heartbeats. One thing's for sure Life is ephemeral. And we all pretty much want just someone to care that we exist, and that we existed. I wish you relief from being haunted by the idea of a complete vacuum of emotion. I know that i hear this album differently tonight than i would have at any other point in my life. And at the end of the day, the feelings you struggle with and face, are those of the human condition. Sometimes music offers a release from that but not even music and sublimation can always save us from facing our worst fears. I'm with you on that. I think this album now reminds you of loss - of changes causing grief - a bit like when my father used to read the obituaries in the paper each day. I haven't reached that point yet but he passed away before i was an adult. Pink Floyd reminds me of Dad. I would say that you should not tune into music that reminds you of existential brooding, however aesthetic and vaunted it might be, and try to find some new music that might actually help relax and comfort you in real time. Please let me know if you would like any recommendations. And please don't think it's a sign of not giving a crap if I don't reply for a long time. The offer will still stand, consider me a very preoccupied Luddite who would like to point you towards some music that can help lift your mood if you would like. That would pretty much go for anyone who relates to your comment too. We are all just mortal. ✌️
At 59 I know what you mean. I look back not forward. Idk what it is...maybe it's just me but many of us look back to compare our younger self with who we are today. I find it depresses me. Makes me cry....yet I still do it. Who knows the mysteries on why. This entire albums pulled me thru some mongrel times & allowed me to get emotion out...rather than bottling it up & going insane which was once my go to survival tactic. Enjoy your life...be it one year or twenty. We are only here for such a short time in comparison to when the planets formed. We're just flesh...everyone dies. It's how we live that matters. Who cares who remembers 😅.
Estas en lo correcto.Nadie le importa,solo el momento existe.
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!
Quite possibly the best album ever written!
I was shocked to learn this was their EIGHTH album!
@@TonyEnglandUK it's their 9th as The piper gates of dawn, A saucerful of secrets, More, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother, Relics, Meddle, and Obscured by clouds came before.
@@TheTornadoMan I wasn't counting Relics as it's a compilation album
Nah man, Tekashi 69's new album is more fire than this old boomer shit.
@@fredbloggs4833 Hahahahaha please tell me you typed that seriously, I need to keep laughing.
One of greatest rock-n-roll albums ever, greatest “headphone album ever”; saw Pink Floyd at Giants Stadium 1994, they opened 2nd set playing the complete Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish… wow, it was incredible!, sound was fantastic.
The greatest album every day

Rolling Stone has always been a joke rather than a publication
Sexextortion
There’s extortion out there I feel in trap
the 'hypnosis' of this song might carry anyone regardless of weight into some blurring territory~ a masterpiece you dont want to rouse from!
Truly, truly one of the best albums of all eternity. I'm blessed to have had this to listen to in my life for the past 50 years.
I saw Pink Floyd perform a Dark Side/Wish you were here concert on April 10 1975 in Seattle. Simply amazing!
unimaginably jealous of you. You're so lucky to have seen such greatness in front of your own eyes
yah man i saw the same tour in vancouver bc. it was great!
