Syed's got the music gene 🧠

This is one of Floyds best songs! Great guitar 🎸 tone by Gilmour and singing. But Waters actually wrote the song. Pink really outdid himself here. Your reactions were good! I really never realized that Floyd delved into the deeper meanings of life. Gilmour actually donates money to the Homeless in Britain and I commend him for that. He said in an interview that he had too much money! What a problem to have! But he didn’t buy a Football Team or a Lear Jet. That would be too much of a headache. Dealing with people demanding a Championship every year. Forget it! They definitely explored the deeper themes. Money, madness, time, and death. It’s like a soundtrack for life’s trials and tribulations. But the music is good, not despairing. Melancholy at times, yes. So is life! You get it!

I'm In a high fidelity, first-class traveling sect and I think I need a Lear jet. Rock and roll.

Oooo, that sax! He’ll get another excellent dose of that and piano in Us And Them 😊

Can’t forget the contributions by a very young Alan Parsons, as well as the rest of the production team. He brought in a great deal of the “sounds” of the album. They are like another instrument of the band. Plus just the production of the album - this was back in the days of tape. It was cut and splice tiny bits of tape not just punch in of ProTools. Hundreds of hours. No band could afford, nor would a record label allow, this much studio time. Only Billie Ellish’s first album reminds me in the smallest amount of the effort required to produce an album - a record where her brother won a Grammy as Producer of the year for spending time lighting hundreds of matches in a bathroom to get a few milliseconds of sound. It took more than a year of long days in their home studio to make that album using todays faster tools. Pink Floyd did hundreds of those things in this album. They were limited in the number of tracks they could mix. In todays ProTools world it would be well into hundreds for just one song. I doubt anything will ever match Dark Side Of The Moon. It was an amazing amount of work that goes unrecognized by the average listener.

The last two songs, "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" should be played as one piece. Just letting you know so you don't split them up.

Money became a reality from a song about money! They had nowhere to hide after this MONSTER! Will someone please agree that Rick’s keyboards are awesome? This is a well crafted masterpiece!!!!!

Love the blues influence here. Love the way, in general, the English bands of this era embraced and incorporated it into their music.

The Saxophone and guitar are both strait fire !!👍🏻✌

Maybe the only song that became what it's about. This was their first absolute smash single and opened the door to them making million$$$$.

Dont ever pause a gilmour solo

Dick Parry on sax.

Guitars mostly replaced the saxophone as the lead solo instrument for jazz, rock. Many solos from guitarists are called "sax solos" by the way they are arranged. There is a certain feel to them. The emotional output of both are nearly equal.

First Pink Floyd song I heard, I was 11 and my 16 older brother played it for me. He is the one that got me into rock. P.S. love your shirt.

Great hearing the reaction but I was disappointed Syed cut it short. I still remember the surprise the first time I heard the closing dialogue. It's like overhearing a candid conversation & thinking "what the heck is this?". It's inclusion on the album is part of the brilliance of Pink Floyd.

You should check out DUB SIDE OF THE MOON. It's an album were they used many of the original master recordings and Reggae Studio Musicians play over the original tracks with some substitutions in the sound effects. It's absolutely brilliant. There's a very cool story behind the album.

Roger Waters is considered one of the most accomplished lyricist in Rock. He wrote every word of this album. As he did in most of their albums in the '70s. Also once again I have to point out that there was never ever a competition between Waters and Gilmour about guitar playing... Bass or lead. This was not the basis of their clashes by no means, as I explained earlier in part 2.

Gilmore actually plays all the bass on most of the Floyd albums. Waters is the song writer, but Gilmore is the musician who makes it sound so smooth

Another great take. Subbed. EDIT: you'll really like "On the Turning Away."

4th like with 11 views 3.27K subs It makes me happy when I see others happy and you seemed so happy listening to this song not pink floyd but another song about money worth listen to is Money Money Money by the OJays

Great song. Always liked the switch in times from a 7 to a 4 beat bar. Just slightly... biggly.. blown away that you've never come across sax solos in rock. Man, every instrument gets solos, it's just that guitar is most common.

You are amazing on your intellectual breakdown of music. I'm impressed!

Hi Syed! Thanks for this!

So this song is about the men who invented color television (remember the album cover). Dorothy just steps into Oz and her mind is blown. The good witch shows up at "it's a hit don't give me the do good bullshit". Get it. She also travels in a light orb...hence the lyrics... I'm in the high fidelity first class traveling. The saxophone and the emotion in the saxophone is the conversation between Dorothy and the good witch (the drumming in "time" is a great conversation between four characters). You'll see. when you hear the instruments run down that scale usually Dorothy's walking down a staircase. If you ask for a ride it's no surprise or giving none away. oddly enough they're putting Dorothy on a horse and carriage at the same time.

Hi bro. Did you know that line about keeping his hands out of his stash and buying a football team, was used in the movie and music video for the song the wall. This was earlier an earlier album,

I've seen dozens of people pretend to react to Pink Floyd songs, but you are without any doubt, the best and above all, the most serious reactor of all. Congratulations and congratulations again. You take the time to appreciate the very particular music, but without forgetting to listen attentively to the lyrics.

Keep them coming.. Great content!! Enjoying the reactions!!

I never tire of hearing this song. 💗💗💗

the absolute best version of this song is from the PULSE CONCERT

So glad you got it

Pink Floyd's song "Money" is (from what I heard) is the only song written by anyone that made the TOP 10 that is not in a 4/4 time signature. I believe it in 7/8. I thought it an interesting fact, and leave it up to the quintessential Pink Floyd to do it.

Good point to point out their specific choices

Just a killer JAM!!!!! 💥💥💥👍😎

One of the few singles released by Pink Floyd, reluctantly, with record company insistance. A odd odd time signiture (7/4) with the 4/4 middle section fot the guitar solo to make it easier for Dave 😂

You have noticed the way the songs are laid out. Not normal. Intro Verse Course verse solo bridge interlude verse course outro. And why not normal? It's laid out and changing with the movie scenes.

The cherry on top is that this song is in 7/8 time, which is why the song makes you feel slightly off balance, like you can't quite keep up.

Like spectacular saxophone work, huh? Check out "The Gunner's Dream" on Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" album. It's nothing short of amazing.

What are doing in Amsterdam? Sightseeing? I bet I know. Visiting some Green Cafes? But not for the veggies. Getting some Cush? I’m actually not a fan of the Green Herb because I had a bad reaction once. I ate some laced brownies my friends girlfriend made for him. I passed out later and had trouble staying conscious. It was not good! Then later I felt like time was slowed down for about 2 weeks afterwards. It almost drove me crazy! I didn’t like it. I’m a control freak and don’t like losing control like that. So never again do I try that. I thought it just made one mellow but it affected me badly. Not for me!

Interesting one this. Waters and Gilmour both were jobbing musicians when this song was written. Surviving as bands do by constant touring while trying to pay back the record company. Then DOSM was released and spent 736 weeks on the Billboard chart. Suddenly the band were as rich as the people mentioned in the song! However they didn't behave like the people mentioned in the lyrics despite now being as rich as Croesus. Waters and Gilmour are both committed Socialists and have given a lot of money away to charity over the years. Gilmour alone auctioned off a lot of his guitars quite recently and raised about £21m which he gave to Clientearth a charity committed to stopping climate change. He also sold a house he owned in central London for £3.6m and gave the money to Crisis, a homeless charity. Waters has made similar donations over the years. So the disdain you hear for the idle rich in the song was genuine when they had nothing and is still genuine when they became rich themselves.

Catchiest song in 7/4 time ever. Hard to pull that off.

I have to admit you are good

The poem about buying a football team was used again in a brick in the wall

Money, its a bop

Blart Side of the Moon lineup is perfection second to second

you might want to check out "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream. early Eric Clapton stuff. think you'd like it.

All lyrics on The Dark Side of The Moon was written by the brilliant Roger Waters

Those pieces at the end aren't really 'lyrics'. They're just part of the soundscape. It's like you're hearing snippets of other peoples conversations, with most of it deliberately quiet or muffled and hard to hear. They recorded various crew members and random people who were in and around the studio. They posed various questions or scenarios, about lif, the Universe and everything and used some of the responses throughout the album, especially in the linking soundscapes between tracks. :)

we had good music in high school aye.

It’s the love of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself…

Money 💰 it's blues in 7/4 time

Check out- on the turning away

This often had an extended, funky jam in it live, well worth tracking down some live versions when you can. Floyd rules, I listen to them every week, some weeks every day. I never get tired of their brilliant music. Try Echoes, both studio and live in Pompeii, more amazement for you. Enjoy! 🎵

If you like how they have a concept and one song leads into the next, you should check out their album Animals, as your next Pink Floyd adventure. The guitar work on Animals will also blow you away,

The wizard of oz reference was debunked by David Gilmour …

Along with Take 5 has to be one of the most famous songs in 5/4. For the guitar solo it moves to 4/4 then switches back to 5/4.

21 when I heard it in 73

Sometimes tis best not to say a thing...*

You are going to love Animals......

Money, gr8 song but the line I disagree with is “Money is the root of all evil.” It’s the LOVE of money that’s the root of all evil.

i wish i had 2 likes and more to give to each one of these videos!!

what kind of headphones are you using?

1:50

LOVE your reactions-love them. But please stop drinking from one use water bottles. 🙃

Way to interrupt the guitar solo to point out the obvious. Couldn't do a better job of sabotaging the flow by not at least backing it a bit, or better yet just wait until the solo's over before throwing in random thoughts. Sorry but you say you want comments, that's just mine. Maybe it'll help in the future.
