Money – Pink Floyd + Lyrics

You might guess that Pink Floyd are a well valued band. The exceedingly wise and well educated Pink Floyd lyrics in particular blended with their spine tingling music is what makes them so indulging and unique. However, I will talk about how Pink Floyd’s lyrics played a major percentage of my life.

First of all Pink Floyd started to change my life rapidly. After listening to their music it first and foremost inspired me to take up guitar at the age of 20. Throughout this period, I continued to listen to the music of Pink Floyd and came upon more and more intriguing Pink Floyd lyrics. Each album had it is own particular blend of lyrics. One of the best albums for it is lyrics is Dark Side of the Moon which talk regarding politics, life and death which are described with singing out a real life event, An example comes from the song Time with the lyrics:

“Digging around on a piece of ground in your home town…and then one day you’ll find 10 years has got behind you”.

This describes that humane could be doing anything with his time and then abruptly 10 years has passed by like you haven’t realised because it come along very quickly. Pink Floyd’s lyrics are not always complex, it is just the way they are brought together and it is context. My view is that each great line of Pink Floyd lyrics always matches up with something, or a great deal of aspect of life. A great example is the lyric line:

“A quiet desperation is the English way”

This is my view of any major english sport or contest such as England Football team or olympics that has a big involvement with the English public. With fans watching, keeping their breath and anxiously awaits victory.

The power of these lyrics inspired me to attend music college and write songs in a similar context to Pink Floyd. Now, these are the songs that are admired by numerous people…they say music is powerful! and it surely is with this band. If this has an effect on me it may surely take place to you too.

Why DARK SIDE is Most Heralded Album of All-Time (5 STARS)
By JWK
Studies have been conducted on the success of Pink Floyd’s classic, best-of-the-best “Dark Side of the Moon.” Some results are as follows:

*One in each 20 people under the age of 50 in the United States owns a copy of this album *Dark Side remained on Billboard’s 200 album chart for an amazing 15 years straight and then for another two when it was remastered back in 1994 *It is presently the most successful album ever with upwards of 40 million copies sold world-wide

Now the question… WHY? Why must one album by a band back in 1973 have such outstanding achievments and wonderment even today? Perhaps because of the time period. Look at other albums freed the same year by bands like Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Rush, and the Doobie Brothers amidst assorted others. This was the year of rock perfection. Or perhaps it was because of the rave for conception albums. Or the simple, yet unforgettable album cover.

More likely it was the band’s alchemy and capacity to make jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, thought-provoking music. This is Pink Floyd at it is collective finest, with everyone contributing. Unlike the band in 6 years, Waters did NOT do everything. Gilmoure took a big chunk of the music-writing, laying down the chord progressions on “Breathe,” “Time,” and “Any Colour You Like;” the singing on the album’s best songs, Water’s conceeding to David’s far superior voice; and pumping out what would later be hailed as a lot of of rock’s most influential lead-guitar riffs on “Money” and “Brain Damage.” Wright got in on much of the writing as well with his keyboard contributions on “Breathe,” the symphonic “Great Gig in the Sky,” “Us and Them,” and the amazing keybpard licks and effects on “Colour.” Mason, who seldom contributed, put in his attempts on “Speak to Me,” “Time,” and the Waters-less “Colour.” Finally, Roger Waters put down most of the album’s music, laid down all the bass-lines as usual, thought up the album’s concept, and wrote all the lyrics. If that’s not enough, he made himself heard on “Brain Damage,” “Eclipse,” and the chorus of “Time.” Anyway you put it, THIS is the true Pink Floyd; all contributing, all acknowledged.

The band’s titanic success was continued on later albums like 1975′s “Wish You Were Here,” 1977′s “Animals,” and 1979′s “The Wall,” altho by that time the band had begun to fall detached from Waters’ power obsession. By 1983, the band had slipped to a Water’s-solo-project version of itself, with “The Final Cut,” and in the long run a break-up. But never would the band see the success or experience the musical genious of “Dark Side of the Moon.” So pop this in, take another listen, and remember- even if you don’t believe the hype- after this album, music would never be the same….

Still weird, but Pink Floyd streamlines their songwriting and find astounding critical & mercantile success with this album
By Mike London
The problem with galore albums (most of The Beatles’ catalogue, Zeppelin, Radiohead, etc) is so much has been written when it comes to them there’s not a lot new to say. For DARK SIDE OF THE MOON I figured I’d closely question or examine the record more in the context of their catalogue overall, as this is not very ofttimes examined in Amazon reviws.

As I’ve said in other reviews, Pink Floyd has always been a weird band. There’s a reason why they’re considered the extreme space-rock band. And while there are other albums in their catalogue that are even spacier and more strange than the perennial bestloved DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (ATOM HEART MOTHER and PIPER AT THE GATES OF DOWN, to name but two), it is here, on this album, that the band trimmed back their wild experiments to manageable songs. And once the ordinary public figured out what Pink Floyd was competent of, they purchased the record in droves.

Pink Floyd has a sizeable catalogue that dates before DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. While the Pink Floyd Faithful recognise these albums, a lot of fans don’t recognise these records, and if they go looking for another DARK SIDE, they are ofttimes puzzled at the music they do find. There’s a reason for that.

Pre-1973, Pink Floyd was very much on the outer edges of rock music. Like The Grateful Dead, they played by their own rules, and invented and subverted their own musical forms into something druggy, ethereal, and far beyond the scope of any normal popsong. Listening to early Pink Floyd records is like an audio-acid trip, and it’s surprising that not only did they get to release such experimental music, with no real probability of getting radioplay or singles, but they got to release so numerous albums of it. With today’s market and expected values and pro-tools mentality of the quest for the perfective popsong that will be the next big hit, the early PF records would never have been released.

All this changed in 1972, when Pink Floyd freed their criminally underrated soundtrack OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. The true precursor to DARK SIDE, OBSCURED was recorded just as the introductory sessions for DARK SIDE began. Moving away from the side-long suites and long winding instrumentals, OBSCURED features 10 songs, only four of which are instrumentals, with the other six songs being very akin to the DARK SIDE songs. It is with OBSCURED that Pink Floyd begun writing music that would be much more accessible to the general record-buying public.

Pink Floyd continued in the direction they begun with OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. Streamlining their music, Pink Floyd forwent the rather bizarre experiments that made up the bulk of their former work. But don’t think they sold out. Everything in DARK SIDE has precedent in their former work.

While there’s not one thing that genuinely sounded like DARK SIDE in 1973, the music sounds very much like a culmination of all their former experimentation (not counting Barret’s PIPER) dating from 1968 to 1972. But rather than let their audio love of sound effects get away with them (“Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast”), or draw their many times arousing and attention holding instrumental music to gargantuan proportions (“Echoes”, “Atom Heart Mother”) that only prog fans will wade through, the band took the elements of their overall sound, streamlined it, and employed much more accessible songwriting, but still being true to their artistic vision.

And it is a imagination and a sound that a lot of people love. DARK SIDE epitomizes what the band was capable of. Filled with sound effects, spacey music, turbocharged [turbocharted] instrumentals, DARK SIDE takes elements from all of the band’s former albums and utilizes them here. A lot of the sound effect work is rather famous, particularly the consultation snippits that engineer Alan Parsons and the band sprinkled allround the album. Paul McCartney was interviewed, but seasoned by years of media coverage, the band felt his answers were too guarded and not as off-the-cuff as they wanted. The “I’m drunk” line was by Henry McCullough. There’s likewise a hardly audible orchestral version of The Beatles “Ticket To Ride” that may be briefly heard at the end of “Eclipse”.

Pink Floyd always had the potential to be not only outstanding musicians and rock artists but also commercially. But let’s not kid ourselves. Without DARK SIDE, they would not be the mercantile juggernauts that they have become today. Had they broke up with OBSCURED, today Pink Floyd would be one of those cult bands that a lot of people haven’t heard of, but that those who do know them find them very interesting.

And that is why DARK SIDE is their definitive album, and one of the greatest marketing albums ever. It is here on DARK SIDE that Pink Floyd went from being beyond a cult band with a lot of rather esoteric, rather impenetrable music, to being a very successful band with the same sonic identity, but more streamlined and much more accessible to the usual pubic.

(As far s the whole Dark Side of the Rainbow phenomena goes, where Wizard of Oz and the album syncs, apparently it is unintentional, or so the band claims. Pretty bizaare how well they sync if in truth it is unintentional).

Rising Of The Moon!!!
By chris meesey Food Czar
Once in a while, a rock band or other musical entity puts out an album that, rather simply, changes the face of music history. And yet, Pink Floyd was a rather improbable group of musical innovators: An splendid singer/guitarist(David Gilmour) who was, until the release of this album, best known plainly as “Syd Barrett’s replacement,” (Barrett, still regarded by galore fans as the band’s unfeigned musical genius, had lately taken leave of his senses and was apparently holed up someplace watching the floor relate to the walls); a fine bassist/writer/singer/perfectionist (Roger Waters) still tortured by his fatherless upbringing; a low-key keyboardist and rather good singer and writer (Rick Wright) who stayed in the background as much as possible; and finally, a rather thoughtful percussionist and sound-effects wizard (Nick Mason), whose most lasting assert to fame would be as the man who vocalized the chilling spoken word threat in the band’s classic “One Of These Days”. An improbable band of innovators, to be sure. And yet, Pink Floyd was decently positioned in the right place at the right time with the right sound. The year was 1973, the musical revolution started in the sixties was still in full swing, FM radio was in it’s infancy (Recently taken over by hippie-types who longed for hours and hours of nice, spacy, commercial-free programming). In a word, rock music was the touchstone of our generation, just as television had been the touchstone of our parent’s generation, and computers would be to our childen’s generation. Those of us in high school or college expended hours each night and weekend, assembled around the stereo in someone’s apartment or room, getting high, drunk, or just daydreaming, pondering such important questions as “What makes Teflon stick to the pan?” (Thank you, Gallagher!) In a lot of of these listening spaces, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon was the album of choice, most times listened to over and over again. The crazy mutterings of “Speak to Me,” the celestial swirl of “Breathe”, the jet-propulsive paranoia of “On the Run,” and “Time,” a favored subject of young questers everyplace (along with madness, death, and pizza), “The Great Gig in the Sky” (with Claire Torry’s unbelievable vocal-cries of universal anguish, “Money”, first-rate blues rock, “Us and Them”, hypnotic yet thought-provoking, “Any Colour You Like,” sheer beauty, “Brain Damage”, the madman inside all of us, and “Eclipse,” the perfective thematic coda. All received by us, the thankful listeners, in our respective states of cognizance (altered or otherwise), and then purchased, time and again, from music stores. Dark Side of the Moon was the ONE ALBUM that each rock fan (and galore wouldn’t other than as supposed or expected be caught dead listening to rock music) had to own. Why??? After thirty years, I may offer only a tentative answer: Most people can not stand to ruminate for long regarding ourselves and our place in the universe, yet each humane being on the face of this world will at sometime wonder: Why are we here??? The Pink Floyd, through this classic masterwork, holds no answers for us, yet it is as if they are supplying to accompany us as we traveling toward self-discovery, making the transition easier, comforting the pain, quieting the hurt even as they strength us to see inside ourselves. Thanks, guys, from all of your fellow voyagers. I think I may safely speak for numerous when I say the road to self-awareness would have been much bumpier if I had not traveled it in your celestial vehicle. I say once, and I say again, SHINE ON, YOU CRAZY DIAMONDS and rock on, even unto the darkest percentage of the dark side of the moon.
