you will find DSOTM in some charts around the world still in the top 100, they say that since its release 1972/73 its been in the charts somewhere on earth since...thats 38/39 years.....mind blowing...or 1,976/2,028 weeks.....crazy
I've listened to this album from beginning to end literally hundreds upon hundreds of times. I feel so lucky to have been a teenager in the 1970s -- the greatest decade for music.
Even back in '73 the sax and jazz piano sounded weird coming from the band responsible for _Piper_ and _Ummagumma._ But this was also the band that gave the mic to an unknown backup singer and had her riff for 5 minutes without a clear idea of what she would do....
I'll never forget listening to this song, age 16, driving downtown Tulsa Oklahoma about 4 in the morning. Not a soul on the road, the sun was just coming up and I was just coming off an incredible trip. Climbed the Mayo building and watched the rest of the sunrise. I wasn't alone and I was not driving lol.
Their deep and thought provoking lyrics, are sometimes overshadowed by their amazing ability to surround them with the type of musical composition that ranks right up there with the great composers! People will be listening to their music 100 years from now! FYI - This was my favorite make out song when I was young!
Ya gotta listen to "The Dark Side of the Moon"....non-stop...beginning to end. There is a meaning to each of the songs that will all come together as an entirety.
Check out Great Gig in the Sky, Any Color you Like, Eclipse and Braindamage. and the live version of Comfortably Numb from the Pulse tour is beyond epic!
As you go through Dark Side of the Moon, you might notice, there is not a single repeated chorus in any song. They did the entire album without a standard lyric, chorus, lyric, chorus song. They broke the mold.
I love watching you get off on the music and shake your head and with your eyes closed you are going to another place within your soul, it's fun to watch and very inspiring.
420since1974 I always see you in the comments on these reactions to Pink Floyd and that’s a good thing because people don’t appreciate Pink Floyd as the old times, have a good one brother
In my humble opinion...Pink Floyd is music to be listened to loud with headphones, laying down with your eyes closed; and just allowing yourself to experience
I believe this album, "Dark Side of the Moon", still holds the record for the most weeks being on the Billboard 200. The album is quite the experience! Great reaction!
In the 70s when I was around 17 or 18 I used to listen to this album, start to finish, so often, lying on the floor in the dark living room, or with my girlfriend at the time. It's my all time favorite album. I'm so glad that it has the same effect on young people today. Good for you! Now I'm *hooked* on listening to Billie Eilish just as much! She's amazing! How did she ever come along? So glad she did!
So great to see people hearing Pink Floyd songs for the first! So long ago, hearing DSOTM for the first time was EPIC for me! This should be heard start to finish, with headphones in the dark!
I've seen you react to several songs from 'Dark side of the moon' and see how they tickle your soul in a good way. I'd really recommend you listen to the whole thing. Just take 45 minutes out of your day, kick back, maybe light a spliff (or don't, it'll be a trip either way) and experience this epic take on life in its entirety. This album to me is like a soul massage. Always relaxing and soothing, but a different part of the album might hit me right in the feels at any particular time I listen to it. Like a physical massage, it'll make clear where you're hurting, while healing that pain. I would love it if you'd listen to 'Dark side of the moon' in a reaction vid, but if that is problematic for some reason, please just do it for you off-screen. Totally dig them wild rock n' roll curls by the way :) Keep rocking like you do!
You've said everything that I would. Excerpt Please raise your right hand and repeat after me I hereby swear to never again listen to the album Dark Side of the Moon in just one song at a time but only as a whole album from start to finish ideally at a laser light show. But a dark room at the maximum volume as possible in a dark room with black-lights and some of that old Columbian incense burning in the corner on a true quad speaker system. You may now be seated and put on your headphones and experience the genius of Pink Floyd
In the "good ole time" of Walkmans... I had one with auto-reverse, and a good headset. One of my "custom tape" (I had the vinyl but not easy to listen in high school) with DSTOM on one side, and WYWH on the other... Every evening I went to bed with the "magic tape" on, auto-reverse and had a DSTOM/WYWH loop every 45 minutes... Felt asleep with that, and just emerge to turn the Walkman off in the middle of the night. No need for incense, not need for artifices, at that time I didn't even smokes a simple cigarette. But I was high every time the "band started a different tune"... See ya! ...on the dark side of the moon.
Well said. Absolute Truth. This album needs to be heard in it's entirety in one sitting for you really to grasp it's full meaning and brilliance. Same can be said about "Wish you were here" and "Animals"
It really is a concept album about all the different stages of life. You’re absolutely right, you never know which part of the album is going to hit you at a given time. It really allows you to lost in your own thoughts. It’s like self therapy.
I did not realize when I was young and listening and loved Pink Floyd music that they actually was heavily impacted by the horrors of WW2 and the impacted it had on their parents and also them as kids. Its gives a much bigger impact to their early music. At least in my view, specially for the genius contribution from Roger Waters albeit David Gilmore is my favorite due to his soulful guitar skills.
The true GENIUS of "Us and Them" is that, while it's all about the brutality, the horrors, the futility and senselessness of war, it's all set to one of the most beautifully lyrical instrumentations imaginable. The song flows, soft and gentle at first, almost like a dream, only to suddenly thunder with shock and awe, then to go right back to soft and lyrical. Add in Dick Perry's explosive sax, and you have musical nirvana. PF at their best!
Brings to mind a little bit of Black Sabbath... "Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses." ... "Evil minds that plot destruction, sorcerers of death's construction." (Hope I remembered those right)
These guys took musical talent to a whole 'nother level. Appreciate what great musicians they are. Cherish them while they're still here. One day...All we'll have are the memories...
From Wikipedia: The Dark Side Of The Moon is among the most critically acclaimed records in history, often featuring on professional listings of the greatest albums. The record helped to propel Pink Floyd to international fame, bringing wealth and recognition to all four of its members. It has been certified 14× platinum in the United Kingdom, and topped the US Top LPs & Tapes chart, where it has charted for 956 weeks in total. With estimated sales of over 45 million copies, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album, and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. In 2013, 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".
Dark Side of the Moon, THE BEST RECORD THAT HAS AND EVER WILL BE PRODUCED ON PLANET EARTH! Pretty sure about that. OK, I will calm down now......but you get the idea that this record redefines the word BRILLIANT. Can we all, at least, agree on that? I grew up listening to this record and I feel very lucky to have grown up in this era.....so very, very lucky. Nice reaction. TY.
i WAS THERE FOR THE ONLY CONCERT IN THE USA !!!! !973. They played only one time in the usa for this album! This is the biggest selling album currently in the world. I WAS THERE!!!!
I'm so glad you did US AND THEM you are awesome and I'm going to say what has been said a Millions of times before I said it this is the greatest rock and roll album ever made..........
Thank you thank you!!! I first heard this in 79 at school away from home for first time. It reminded me of my dad and tore me up. My favorite of all time! I saw your tear!
Dark side of the Moon sold over 45 million copies & was on billboards records charts from 1973 to 1988 top 50. Most everyone that I knew had a copy of the album , tape or CD.
I remember hearing this album for the first time as a childunit, every time I listen to any song from it... What you feel listening to Pink Floyd will never leave you... Once you feel it, you will always feel it.
Music is about feelings and truth telling. One of the hardest hitting performance was a cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” sung by a dying legend Johnny Cash. Another heart string puller is “Lazarus” by David Bowie.in the video you see his sunken face ravaged by cancer, the weak body fighting against the final nod. Heart breaking and beautiful.
The intro with the sax is pure musical velvet the lyrics are absolutely spot on with the experiences to whats going on day after day there is a lot of good in this world but unfortunately there is far to much greed and bad things going on aswell we all have so much to learn pink floyd are telling us whats happening its for us to put it right today great reaction keep on rockin girl
That's about as honest a reaction as I've ever seen. Glad to see you enjoying the music. Do take the suggestions, even if on your own time, and listen to the album beginning to end. It's thematic and it definitely builds upon itself.
So much to explore with Floyd. "Great Gig In The Sky" is a must, just for the sheer emotion of the vocal performance that I think you would appreciate! Check it out!
This is about how we continually divide the World into 'Us' and 'Them'. Both at the small scale individual level and at the large scale level , with religion, nations etc. It particularly shows how the prevalence of such an attitude can lead to the ultimate expression of 'us and them' - war.
The discovery satisfies the journey, and Pink Floyd is not just music but a journey. First listened to this 47 years ago, my second Pink Floyd album the first being "Metal" given to by friend who said ," you gotta hear this", so my journey begin. Nice to watch you beginning yours!
Yup.. there she goes again... that was a saxgasum... I know she loves drums, but I've seen her reactions long nough... that is one bad arse sax player. Have seen them live, and I see myself in the crowd looking over and around, and there you are... jamin like a thousand others in the crowd that night... same effect a generation later... love u girl lol... an you looked under the weather, but snapped out of it when the sax began ...bless you!
I love your reactions. A lot of other people's reactions are acting the way they think their viewers want to see. You allow your authentic self show and that's refreshing.👍👍👍💪❤
I remember when that album first came out. I played it so much that the grooves were worn out. To this day it is by far my favorite of all the albums I have Rock on and rock hard
"Out of the way, it's a busy day I've got things on my mind For the want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died..." Yeah, it's a lot like a movie, that's why to really do justice to Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" you've got to listen to the whole album from start to finish. And that's even more the case with Pink Floyd "The Wall" -- which in 1982 was turned into a feature film starring Bob Geldof as Pink. You could go straight for "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2," which became Pink Floyd's only #1 hit, but which will make so much more sense if you listen to it in album order: "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1", "The Happiest Days of Our Lives", "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--cfJqYtmmqA.html
Rock 'n roll is a very broad genre, and that's one of the things I love about it. In it you'll find hard rock, acid rock, punk, funk, soul, blues, country ... You can even find elements of classical and jazz in rock. Pink Floyd took its name from two great blues artists Pinkney " Pink " Anderson and Floyd Council, and even though many see Floyd more as progressive rock, they always kept blues and soul elements alive in all their music--note the sax, guitar, backing vocals, etc. If you want your mind blown with some of the most soulful, ass kicking singing you've ever heard, listen to The Great Gig in the Sky.
Man if the whole world could put a few songs on their headphones SMH everybody would be more chill LOL. These guys just have that ability to make you relax and feel good. Legends. Great reaction hun
