Enjoyed the reaction! Great gig in the sky is the portrayal of the five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, which I think Claire torey conveys incredibly!
True, and I think TIME has the most appropriate and deep lyrics ever! You run and you run to catch up to the sun, but it's sinking.. coming around to come up behind you again! My fav lyrics along with one from Rush' Freewill ... You may choose not to decide, but you still have made a choice!
I was 12yo when this came out. It is so familiar to me yet I never tire of listening to it. A musical masterpiece from musical geniuses. Mind blowing then and still even now.❤
Not quite right............There were several parts where Gilmour insisted had to be changed or re-written , and if you check the credits Waters main contribution was the Lyrics and some sound effects.....not taking anything away from waters it really was the whole band contributing on this Album, had they not then the album would have been different, the interview about this album is on youtube...but they do not say what changes Gilmour insisted on....go take a look....
As someone who's been listening to PF pretty much since they started, you REALLY need to pay attention to the lyrics. PF never did anything without a reason and lyrics were very important. They were so far ahead of their time the music and the lyrics are still very relevant! PF is a great rabbit hole to go down. No better band, IMO. Wish you were here, Meddle, The Wall, Division Bell, all great!
I'll take Piper, Saucerful, Atom Heart and Obscured By Clouds over Divison Bell. And The Wall got played out for me, while also sounding like too many 'classic rock' band songs.
Clare Torry gets a lot of praise (rightfully so) for her contribution to this album but I think that Dick Parry deserves more than an honourable mention for the sax' work and Alan Parsons for having tied it all together so beautifully. (He was more akin to the tea boy on the Abbey Road album but obviously he learned enough to flourish in his own right)
I Believe she only did one take and they wanted her to go back in the studio and do another one and she told them that's the best you're going to get for me for what you're looking for... And she was right
youll never see records like this produced ever again...especially with whats called music now. A stunning masterpiece of creativity and emotion, all tied together with outstanding musicians....
Actually, you are incorrect about the vocals on GGITS. After inviting jazz singer Claire Tory to have a go at it, they explained to her that it was a song about death and dying. She went back in to the booth and improvised the entire thing. What you just listened to was her second and final take...no splicing, overdubbing or editing whatsoever. One of the greatest vocal performances in all of popular music, and all without a single lyric!
@@jimangela4589 Somewhat accurate. Here's Claire Torry's interview where she recounts the experience - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mIW7xZSlZoM.html
Some of this sounds familiar, but this is the first time I've heard the LP all the way through. (and I'm 74!) Thank you for introducing me to a wonderful album that I should have been listening to a half century ago. Well, like they say, better late than never .....
Not quite as old (mid-60's) but my reaction to your comment is ... 😲Not that there's anything wrong with it but were/are you hard-core country or classical, maybe?
I'm in my 83rd year, and have been a PF fan what seems like forever, I think that TIME is like a toilet roll, the nearer you get to the end the faster it goes. Had a bit of crappy news, I've just been diagnosed with aggressive Lung cancer, so to everyone out there, make sure you live life to the fullest, one thing for sure is that I've lived through the greatest music ever made...👋💕🎶🎵🎶
DAVID GILMOUR IS THE TIMELORD OF THE LEAD GUITAR 🎸 PINK FLOYD WILL TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER WORLD 🌎 AND ACROSS THE milky way 🌌. 55 years i have been a fan and always will be.
Interesting. I'm mid-60s, too. I remember a time before "Hi-Fi". There are certainly aspects of *Time* that have come true with age - each year does seem shorter and I am shorter of breath. lol But while I sometimes miss possible experiences I might have had in the past, I have no real regrets. If I hadn't been where I was, I wouldn't be where I am, now ... and I like it here!->
I know I signed on for a reaction. But literally the entire time I was like, Please shut up you're harshing my buzz dude. I didn't realize I guess I just don't want to hear people talk over Dark Side...
Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest rock album ever recorded. Love hearing other artists cover this album. Check out the Reggae version of this album called “Dub Side of the Moon.” Great version.
43 years I’ve been listening to and experiencing this work of genius, since the age of 14. I have so little to add to what is commented by the community, but I would say that ‘Time’ will be played as long as human beings exist, as it perfectly captures how fleeting our time here is.
Storm Thorgerson is the person that come up with the album cover, he and his design group Hipgnosis, which he co-founded alongside Aubrey Powell. They also designed the self -titled Bad Company album and several more for the band. They also designed for Wings- Band on the run, Led Zeppelin-In through the outdoor, Peter Gabriel -Peter Gabriel lll and several more bands.
Their name comes from two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. The artwork was by Hipgnosis's Storm Thorgeson, the band had briefed them that they wanted something bold and simple.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put this or any Pink Floyd record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul !!!
Hi there from Spain...you should pay attention to the lyrics because back then it ment something and it still does. Music and words were made to send the message....it does not matter who sings it but how and what it means, thanks for your reaction
In, The Great Gig in the Sky, I think the anguish she expressed is left ambiguous if it's her own mortality or death she's coping with, or if it's the loss of a loved one. It definitely brings light to the universality of grief.
The name is a combination of two blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, who were in Syd Barrett's record collection. The had been the Tea Set until it was discovered the name was taken. Syd was a genius but deeply disturbed. He died of cancer in 2006 having lived as a recluse for many years.
I 1st heard this album in 1985 as a Sr in high school. Time I had heard on the radio but never really listened to it closely. When I played the cd alone at home it hit me. I did not want to miss the starting gun. It was and is the most influential song in my 55 years on this Earth. It has helped me live my life to experience it fully. From fighting not to miss my son grow up to enjoying the things I love.
Beautiful listen to the LP without interruptions. The only way to understand music. Love you! And I didn't know Scarlett Johansson had a sister... The best reaction about DSOTM I've ever seen. 😍
Originally"The Tea Set" the name The Pink Floyd comes from 2 of Syd's favorite blues men, Floyd Council and Pink Anderson. They then dropped "the" and became Pink Floyd. Yes Alan Parsons would be another choice of albums to listen to, possibly "Tales of Mystery & Imagination".
These are not my words but its what i believe it to be about. I know its long but its interesting. Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album that discusses the philosophical and physical ideas that can lead to a person's insanity, and ultimately, an unfulfilled life. The album is a cautionary tale in two parts; the first half describes living a life that goes unfulfilled. The second half of the album consists of individual songs about different ideas and concepts that are detrimental to society and can lead to madness. The philosophical ideas in the second half of the album are a sort of madness in their own right. They are also the root causes to the problem mentioned in the first half of the album that focuses on living an unfulfilled life. The Dark side of the Moon is a metaphor for darkness-the darkness (or different ideas) that can destroy all of the positive emotions and ideas that are a part of humanity. In effect, the darkness represents insanity. But like in reality, the light portrayed by the moon is really an illusion. So it would appear that the album, which seems to take the dark side of the moon concept to heart, is suggesting is that everyone on some level is insane or will have to deal with madness. Dark Side of the Moon seems to specifically suggest that there are two types of insanity. The first type of insanity mentioned on the album suggests people go insane by riding the tide. Or specifically speaking, people are insane for doing what they're told all of the time and just accepting life for what it is. The second type of insanity mentioned on the album suggests that the people that don't ride the tide realize that the people riding the tide are insane. In turn, their efforts to try to convince people not to ride the tide or their resistance to the tide itself causes them to go insane. Dark Side of the Moon is ultimately a united group of thematic ideas that act as a cautionary tale. There are a lot of bleak lyrics, and the concept itself is fairly bleak. The bleak concepts on the album are referred to as the dark side of the moon. The hopeful ideas and concepts related to humanity are represented by the sun, which only appears at the end of the album. In effect, the album is a cautionary tale because all of the songs describe or bring awareness to the dark side of the moon or the various ideas that lead to an unfulfilled life and ultimately insanity. The ending of the album though reminds listeners of the sun for the first time or gives listeners a glimpse of hope with all of the positive ideas associated with being human With the moon eclipsing the sun at the end of the album, the album seems to suggest that the madness will pass like the eclipse that is blocking the sun will eventually come to pass.
Notice the songs follow on from each other from birth to death and the gig in the sky follows time is the fear and turmoil and then acceptance of death
Great Gig in the Sky Death???? An event that all of humanity is destined to experience at one point or another, in one way or another be it our own death or the death of a loved one. Depending on each individual's level of compassion and acceptance determines how people deal with it. Persistent, traumatic grief can cause us to cycle (sometimes quickly) through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. These 5 stages are our attempts to process change brought along by the loss of a loved one or the acceptance of ones own mortality and to protect ourselves while we adapt to our new reality. Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky is about such a journey. The opening lyrics start with denial and end with acceptance.
I read on a trivia page that in the 80’s and 90’s when this album was in the top two hundred selling albums for 736 weeks. This created enough demand for albums that there was a cd manufacturing facility in Germany that only put out this album.
_"Don't we need weed?"_ It is often said that one does not need marijuana to appreciate Pink Floyd. However, it is also said that one often needs Pink Floyd to _really_ appreciate marijuana.
This album still sells and periodically resurfaces in the charts, it is almost the best selling album ever and will probably claim that at some point. That is the way it's when generation after generation of new fans keep getting made, all the needed to be is exposed to their music and voila, a new fan is made. They are just one of those most musical improvisational and futuristic bands and will always be played, like Mozart, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
The electronic madness of 'On the run' depicts the ratrace of life, symbolised by 'running' from your bed of birth (literally shown in the live show projections) , through first a hospital, then an airport, taking off and then crashing down.
Fun fact I'm doing the same thing I always did listening to pink Floyd 😂 and no it's not acid 🙃I stopped that 40yrs ago 😊 thank God weed is legal in my state ❤
The Dark Side of the Moon was definitely not the end of the long songs and solos. The next two albums, *Wish You Were Here* and *Animals*, also have long songs and solos. It wasn't until *The Wall* that the longer songs and solos decreased.
Formed in 1965, previous names include 'Sigma 6', 'The T-Set', 'The Megadeaths', 'The (Architectural or Screaming)Abdabs', 'The Pink Floyd Blues Band', 'The Pink Floyd'. Named by Syd Barrett who combined the first names of two blues man, Pink Anderson, and Floyd Council.
The solo in "Time" ranks up there with "Since I've Been Loving You". In concert, Run Like Hell looked like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HriYRoxWo1I.html
And the lady who asks “Who said he wasn’t frightened of dying?” towards the end of Great Gig in the Sky, that voice belongs to Linda McCartney, wife of Beatles bassist Paul. I think Wings were recording at Abbey Road at the same time as Dark Side was being recorded.
The more I listen to this album the more Claire Torrey's vocal on The Great Gig in the Sky impresses me. She sued them for writing credits since she made up the melody on the spot. There was a piano backing already written when she came into to the studio but the vocal melody was hers alone. Also I would listen to the whole album at once in the dark from beginning to end. I think Roger Waters wrote a latter song called Fear of Flying.
This album is covered on the second disc of the Pulse concert (1994) but it’s live and includes visuals so the added dimension is enjoyable. A Great Concert!
22:04. Next song! Breathe (reprise). Which, to me, is about looking back. Finally finding your home, peacefully at home by the fire (simple things). And contemplating death (the iron bell calling people to a funeral). A mild sneer at religion at the same time (magic spells)
No it isn't about the "fear of flying," it's a man running and running to catch the tram in the subway to keep up with relentless life. Remember PF are English, the subway is a mainstay of life in London!
The childish comments never end. Great reaction, y'all. The sound is fantastic. I like the editing. May I suggest that you use closed captions even when your voices are audible. Can't always understand what you say. I hear a crash, for what it's worth. Love the channel. You two love music. We enjoy your reactions to great music. Keep on r'actin .
I don't think was any sequencer yet at that time,that sound at 12.50 is very probably just the Moog or something at that time called 'Envelops generators'
Jethro Tull's 'Passion Play' from the same year also starts with a heartbeat, very interesting. I would suggest, since you seem to like longer album listens, to do Jethro Tull's 'Thick as a Brick'.
Trains, not planes. The track representthe hectic pace of life in your youth which eventually culminates in a crash of realization...which leads to the examination/realization of the time of one's lifespan. IMO
Loved the reaction, Just one small correction. What you refer to as slide guitar is actually pedal steel guitar like you see in country music. Similar sound and amazing when the masters playing (David Gilmour)
