    Any true Pink Floyd fan knows “lunacy” is always a background theme because of Syd Barrett. Some people become Pink Floyd fans because of the harmonies, others bc of production, others bc of David Gilmour’s guitar, others bc of lyrics, others bc of the vibe. And some are blessed enough to see the big picture and absorb every aspect. Either way, we’re all here. And we’re a massive universe. United by this band.

      Well said, there is a bigger picture. I'm a yank but I've watched all the documentaries I can find on them. I'm 45 years old, I'd say there's a high probability that it's about Syd. High emotions come from losing a friend, especially as a young man. That can change you in ways most can't understand. My dad introduced me to them when I was in my teens, I hope I get to enjoy Mr. Gilmour's work for years to come.

      The Wall is an actual story with a narrative, that's very different from their other concept albums that were exploring a theme eg. DSotM was about the stresses in life that drive you crazy or Wish you Were Here which is about the music industry and the pressure of their success after DSotM.

The entire album, not just the single.

    • @wesbeuning1733
      @wesbeuning1733 Před 5 lety +4

      It was more than LSD that caused his decline. Roger Waters once revealed it was schizophrenia. Now I don't know the specifics about his personal diagnosis or anything. But the last time Roger Waters performed live was at a fundraiser for a charity for mental illness, which I highly recommend watching. This was done to honor Syd Barret as the other members and Waters had long had a bitter split and only performed together out of their shared respect for the lost friend that their all shared and was responsible for where they were in life because of the band he had created.

      @@wesbeuning1733 Agreed. As someone who has dropped hundreds of hits of acid, among other things, I can attest that it does not cause schizophrenia. Schizophrenia manifests after puberty and into the 20's & 30's sometimes. And this sounds much more reasonable than the myth of Syd's drug induced spiral into madness. Kinda like Mama Cass death blamed on a ham Sandwhich. Myths.

  • @420since1974
    @420since1974 Před 5 lety +192

    Roger Waters had this to say about the lyrics of "Brain Damage"/"Eclipse":
    "I don't see it as a riddle. The album uses the sun and the moon as symbols; the light and the dark; the good and the bad; the life force as opposed to the death force. I think it's a very simple statement saying that all the good things life can offer are there for us to grasp, but that the influence of some dark force in our natures prevents us from seizing them. The song addresses the listener and says that if you, the listener, are affected by that force, and if that force is a worry to you, well I feel exactly the same too. The line 'I'll see you on the dark side of the moon' is me speaking to the listener, saying, 'I know you have these bad feelings and impulses because I do too, and one of the ways I can make direct contact with you is to share with you the fact that I feel bad sometimes."

      Brain Damage is not about madness. It's about the programming we get from media, propaganda and governments etc. You have been brain damaged. You must be a lunitic if you do not conform to this programming, or are they the lunitics? Watch Rogers interviews.

      Sometimes I think so. Sometimes otherwise...
      "The lunatic is on the grass... got to keep the loonies on the path."
      The crazy people who don't conform to society are on the grass. Society stays on the path,
      Here the dark side can be interpreted as those who refuse to play by the rules: "The bleeding hearts and the artists."
      Maybe everything being in "tune" under the Sun is just an interpretation by those who conform. Maybe they see those who are different as dark and against the "tune." Maybe the loonies will eventually eclipse society's Sun with their loony Moon.
      Whatever it means to you is what it means.
      That's part of what makes Floyd so interesting.

      sopwithsnoopy: it resumed its run in 2009 when catalog albums were no longer ineligible to chart, hence the 937 weeks. It's pretty obvious that it would have continued to chart in the 21 years in between that it wasn't eligible if that rule hadn't been put in place to begin with... which would have put it around 2,000 weeks, putting it on the Hot Albums chart for over 40 years straight. Yeah, it's that good and that far ahead of it's time, music still hasn't caught up.

    Don't remember which member of the band said it, but they were talking about "Keep off the grass" signs with the line, "The lunatic is on the grass". Because only a lunatic would disobey the sign. This was meant as a commentary on all the little rules that are used to define who is behaving correctly or not in society, and that only a lunatic would break these little rules.

It was in the top 200 billboard for 741 weeks (14+ years) nothing else comes even close. I like Tool, but comparing them to Pink Floyd is almost sacrilege. Their next album "Wish You were Here" is about Syd Barrett, it's also one for their best work. Then there is "The Wall" .. If you guys are that analytical about DSOTM, I can only imagine what you'll do with The Wall.

      Agree with you on the quality and value of the 'Pulse' concerts, some of the best ever! IMHO, part of the reason these are so good is that the band had been playing, and perfecting these songs over the years making these renditions over-the-top good! One personal favorite is 'Great Gig' performed by Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and Claudia Fontaine. Incidently, at one point, Sam Brown and her mother (also a back-up singer) had performed alongside Clare Torre and had an exceptional feel for how it should be performed. Love the music!! atb

    "Money" often gets criticized because it seems so out of place with the rest of the album musically. Just keep in one big difference compared to how albums are released today compared to back then. "Money" would have been song one of side b of the album. There is a break there that because of technology couldn't be avoided. You had to get up, flip the vinyl album (and later the cassette) over to start side two. It wasn't one continious play like you have today with CDs and mp3 playlists. I have never seen this confirmed, but I have often speculated that was thinking behind it.
    As a Pink Floyd fan and a person who have never smoked pot, I always understood the deepness of their works.

      I always felt Money was a big middle finger to the studio who signed them at the time. It seems the execs wanted a radio friendly song for the album and it was a perfect song to point out their greed.

      Chaos Thierry Exactly. Vin totally missed the point of the song. Its a very sarcastic song. But in terms of similarities its like the Dream Theater song they did a week or so ago. As I Am. It was both a concession but also a scathing shot at the studios for telling musicians how to make their art.

    So, it has been a while since this video was uploaded but I just found you guys on CZcams and I think your really great! I particularly love your breakdown of every song on Dark Side and I thought you had great insight! With me being a massive Pink Floyd fan (and being a millenial-im 31 now) in my opinion Pink's music is really about the life of Syd Barrett who did indeed start the band, was the frontrunner, and created some of the early success by writing Much Of Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Some people think that he had Schizophrenia and that LSD that he was heavily into exacerbated it. But Dark side of the moon is a perfectly crafted look on Mental Illness and as a whole, society and the individuals struggle with finding meaning. Syd Barrett sadly never really recovered and died tragically

    it's not about a person, it's about society in it's full. life, death, work, greed, insanity, war, violence, haste....our society, our lives...not one person, all of us. And the voice of Syd is not on the interviews they did for the album, so his voice is not in the album
    The line and when the band you're in starts playing different tunes, does speak about Syd. When Syd was already in a bad situation mentally speaking, he didn't perform normally while at gigs. He got kicked out not long after those episodes.

    "Far away across the field, the tolling of the iron bell, calls the faithful to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic spell."
    This doesn't imply rejecting Christianity. This notes that an organized religion exists across the field. To be honest, a lot of the story you put on the album is the right idea, but the wrong path. This isn't a narrative revolving around one particular person, it's seperate topics that link to life.

    LSD drove Syd crazy. A friend of mine was into acid (LSD) back in the 80’s he went crazy also and his parents sent him to a home for the mentally ill. Any and all drugs are a different high to each individual, some can handle it while others can not.

  • @anerdtoolate2795

    Great guys. Love it! Syd Barrett was a founder and front-man who today would prob have been diagnosed as bi-polar, schizophrenic, or whatever. He was living with some folk experimenting heavily with LSD (finding the answers, etc.). One day when Syd didn't show up for recording, they were informed that he had some sort of breakdown and "Syd is just gone". On the album "Wish you were here" the song "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" is about Syd. The rest of the album (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) is their take on the music business. I think you'll love it.

    Glad you 2 have been delving into older stuff. Try PF The Wall...a real masterpiece! Also try a full listen of Alan Parsons Project album I Robot (1977). Alan Parsons was the engineer on DSotM. His first engineering credit was The Beatles album Abbey Road. He is gifted and underrated. Another underrated musician is Mike Oldfield. His album Ommadawn is another masterpiece! (and he plays mist of the instruments himself!). If you've seen the original Halloween movies you may recognize his song Tubular Bells as it is the main theme music.

    Love your work , very analytical and intelligent.
    I do want to mention your inconsistencies of analyzing Money, lots of smiles and discussion of socialism v capitalism which is great.
    The thing that may be missing is the purposeful discordance with the song money.
    They appear to be representing the conflict where money is concerned. It would then follow that the mellifluous tune associated with the rest of the album would be a bad fit for a song about money because it really does cause conflicts and doesn’t blend with the rest of life.

    No, don’t say it Vin. Don’t say atheism leads to “absurdity, insanity and pessimism.” Don’t say it because it’s demonstrably not true. Your religious convictions are getting the better of you. And if overthinking things makes you crazy you need a break because you have been overthinking this album. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Part of the fun of having a brain is that it comes with imagination installed. Take it for a ride occasionally but don't assume your ideas and interpretations are correct. Or that you see and understand deep meanings in what you are watching or listening to. If you are concerned about paths to fucking up your head, taking rides of the imagination too seriously is something to be wary of. Imagining you have a true understanding does not necessarily mean you actually do. It may just mean you think you do.
    I don’t know about Richard Wright, the keyboard player, but the rest of Pink Floyd are declared atheists. I see Dave Gilmour walking his dog occasionally and he seems fine. As far as I know the others are too, along with the 40% or so of the population of the British Isles who surveys show don’t believe in the existence of god(s). We seem to be just fine without your god, or anyone else's. Most of us are not stumbling about the streets, dribbling.
