Pink Floyd were slated to participate in the sound track for Jodorovsky's Dune, so i felt it really appropriate, and an awesome moment generally

I’ve done this a couple of times now: take any busy street in your city. Pick a random starting point. Put your earphones on and play this album. Start walking. Is magic. The way the music seems to synchronize with your surroundings. The cash registers, people chatting, flirting, rushing by. The rich and the poor side by side. Everyone looking for meaning. Is wonderful.

I’ll admit, I kinda choked up a bit at the end of this last episode. DSOTM pulled me through some of the lowest points of my life when I couldn’t find hope anywhere or from anyone. This project just totally zeroes in on and honors everything that makes DSOTM so special to so many of us. Bravo!!!

The line 'when the band you're in starts playing a different tune' is heart breaking.

This was one of the best video series I've ever watched on KZread. Thank you, Polyphonic; my appreciation for Dark Side increased immensely because of this series.

When the "sun is eclipsed by the moon", we are on the dark side of the moon. Perfect line to end the album.

I think we'd all love to see more projects like this that analyze every track of an album

One thing I found interesting in connection with this project's release dates on KZread and Covid-19 is that when "Speak to me/Breathe" was released, the virus was only starting to spread. It was in its infancy. "On the run"'s release date was in conjunction with how we had small glimpses of what was happening, small little warnings, that we all ignored because we were on the run. We were slightly anxious, but we did not have the time to care for it that much as we believed we were running for something more immediate, something more important. When the video for "Time" came out, the world changed, or rather i should say, the Times changed. It was mostly made pre-quarentine and released in post, creating a certain aspect of it that very much related to the topic of the video. That you never know when your time has started, and when it will end. We were in the midst of a childlike daze, of not knowing our time was almost up, and then it happened. The video for "The Great Gig in The Sky" probably relates to the majority of what we were all feeling during this pandemic, a sense of fear. Fear of contracting this new danger to modern life. Fear of dying from it. Fear of joining, the great gig in the sky. "Money" probably has the least noticable connection of all the releases, with it being that we were spending so much of it on things to keep us entertained during our pain. Remeber when at the beginning we were worried about toilet paper? Our money mattered then too. It wasnt just a way to reach what we wanted, but a way to get what we needed too. "Us and Them" comes around when racial tensions exploded starting with the death of George Floyd. Millions of people took to the streets in protest of his execution, citing that police should not be abusing their power to attack people unjustly. It created a certain Us vs. Them, with us being the common people that want equality, and them that have the power but continue to abuse it despite our cries. "Any colour you like" saw us starting to get back into the rhythm of our old lives, however with many differemces around them. I suppose this relates to the fact that you can have pain in any colour you like, but the fact remains that life shall remain blue in some sort or fashion. Throughtout history, we have had many tragedies, most recently 9/11. Life resumed back to normal after it happened, but with tighter concerns over national security. Now here we are having our very own 9/11. What comes after? That is yet to be seen. Now, for this video. "Brain Damage/Eclipse". Truthfully, im not entirely sure how much detail is required to relate this all to modern life, and which aspects it does relate to, as this came out today. But i guess it can relate to how these riots, and this pain we are still going through has been gone through before, and like those before us, we shall continue to misunderstand it deny it. Take a look at the indoor Campaign rallies President Trump has had. They defied mask regulations and social distancing. Why? Because humans are stubborn animals that cannot completely understand the mindset of another being. We all in a sense, have our own brain damage. Eclipse comes at a time where we continue to assimilate back to "normalcy". We are in the midst of vaccine trials, and within earshot of that heartbeat that was our former lives. We just need to keep going.

This essay series reminds me of how listening to music used to be. Time to reflect, to dive into the lyrics, to travel along the interpretations of the sounds, to grasp every little detail of the artwork. It's one of those thinks I deeply miss in being younger and full of wonder. Thank you a lot for the effort you've put in this 💜

This whole series was absolutely phenomenal!

Alan Parson is the unkwnown hero of this masterpiece

I cried like a baby during this video. The mention of Syd, the lyrics, the absolutely genius musical arrangements and the fact that the series is over. Thank you so much for this ❤

I fear this. For me these 2 songs are magic. Literal magic. No matter what I am feeling, no matter what has happened. These songs put me into a better mindset, a better mood.

These are my two favourite songs off what I call the best Album ever

How does this whole series not have millions of views and millions of likes? The world needs to watch the whole series. Several times.

Hi, Polyphonic and fans I can't put in words whats the The Dark Side of the Moon Project meant to me. It gave me insight and understanding to my favorite album of all time Congratulations on the series, good people that make this channel (maybe is just one guy? doubt it!), I'm looking foward to other projects. I also would like to put me in you disposition to translate all series to Portuguese, just reach out to me

Listened to Brain Damage/Eclipse at the focal point of a total Solar eclipse in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Eclipse lasted the length of the total eclipse of the sun while I literally witnessed the dark side of the moon. It was truly a magical experience

When reading the lyrics itself could bring me to tears, then you know how strong this album ends. Such a brilliant Roger is. Hope I can write as good as him someday. Will look forward to Animals project!

This series was AMAZING... you're one of my favorite youtubers

This is the best series i’ve ever watched

Iv never seen such an amazing album overview, this is honestly beyond beautiful, and for it to be about this album in particular is perfect. I cannot wait to see what the next big thing out of the channel will be.

I'm not afraid to say this Dark Side of the Moon project is the best series of videos on this platform. I'm grateful for this masterpiece. (Animals next time?)

Ohh finally! Saw this awesome project some weeks ago on Nebula and couldn't wait more for it to be completed on KZread to share it with everyone! Truly a great job!

I always thought that last quote " there is no dark side of the moon was the perfect end. As if to say this meaning of life, this ideal lifestyle that is the title, that it isn't real its all perfect and its all right. Greatest album ever made @polyphonic thank you for doing this

Eclipse intro made me cry a lot. Thank you for doing this series

goddam. this cut is stirring. when i was in 8th grade i would get up at 4:30am to listen to this album before school. it's a fucking work of art.

This was one of the greatest youtube series! Thank you for this great series

Great conclusion, both the songs and the vid! One of the most impressive parts of the record for me is the production. So many albums, even the very best, have a sound that's specific to the time of release: The Beatles sound like the 60's, Led Zeppelin like the 70's, Prince like the 80's etc. But DSOTM still sounds as fresh as albums being made today and that blows my mind!

I got a Dark Side of the Moon tattoo by the time the project was over. It was already my favorite album ever (I think it has been since the very first time I heard it), but now I feel I got ALL the messages the band offers on this masterpiece. Thank you for that. I think this was the best experience I ever had on KZread :)

i've been waiting for this for a long time

Thank you for doing this series. Thank you.

I have watched numerous documentaries on DSOTM, and wrote a 15-page paper on it in college. But I still gained new insights on it from watching this. Loved this series!

This album changed the life of generations of people. The first time I heard it was at a friend's house during a party, we played the vinyl out of curiosity. When breathe came on, my drunk ass felt like on a cloud. I was hooked, it's staying with me forever like lunacy

Thank you for this project. Every single episode was a pleasure. I'm hungry for more now. Animals, Wish You Were Here, The Wall or Meddle would also be insanely interesting.

What an epic conclusion to the most epic of youtube series. I've loved sticking with this series over the course of this year. Its been brilliant!

Perfect timing. My Dark side of the moon vinyl arrived just earlier today.

Im so happy that you were able to finish this part, If there's any part I ever wanted to here the deeper meaning behind DSOTM its Brain Damage / The Dark Side of the Moon.

The end quote does have a final bit which was clipped off for the final song. The whole thing is, "There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun."

Let me just say this series was remarkable I have never seen a youtuber do something this grand in a LONG time. The dark side of the moon to me is one of the most important albums of all time not only because of its composition but because of its everlasting impact on pop culture. If I could request a topic to look at for a future video like this I would suggest taking a deep dive into The Beach Boys 1967 unfinished concept album SMiLE. I hope more things like this come out and I hope you have as much fun making them and releasing them as me and the rest of this platform have fun watching them.

This was one of my favorite series ever on youtube. Thanks for making this, I loved every second.

Wow! As someone who grew up in the 60's and 70's, Pink Floyd was one of mine and my friends favorite bands cause they had such trippy lyrics and awesome sounding rock. We never really understood what all those lyrics meant, they just seemed really "deep". I remember dropping window pane and then going to see The Wall at the local theater and man what a trip it was, o really good trip, but I remember thinking it was really deep thinking though I couldn't tell you now what that deep thinking was! I came from a violent childhood and I remember dropping acid about 20 times, mostly while listening to stuff like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and B.O.C. just because they had such cool lyrics and music it was a way to escape the life I had no control over at least for a little while. Thanks Polyphonic for this series. You have given me an insight into the music and minds of a great band and maybe helped to explain some of why I liked them so much and how they seemed to speak to me in some way. Your research and analysis is thorough. Thanks once more.

This series was truly a work of art, and reflects the beaty in Pink Floyd's amazing sound scaping. I'd love to see "Wish You Were Here" done just like this series and i know "The Wall" is quite long but i would love to hear a similar format done on that album as well.

i applaud you for this project. The way you made this series is just a big a of a masterpiece as the dark side of the moon it self.

Thanks man, awesome content. I've been listening to this album all year.

From the time Dark Side was released, when I was 12, it has always been my favorite album. I have listened to it thousands of times. Your insights into it were profound and have helped me to better understand it all these years later. Thank you for a job well done.

This whole series is one of the best things on KZread. Many thanks for your hard work!

Easily the best analysis of Dark Side of the Moon. Thanks so much for this - it’s amazing!

again this is so good i can't believe it. This deserves WAYYYYYYYY more views.

This has been masterfully done and one of my most talked about series. You've managed to really capture the essence of the band's album and it's conception. It remains, to me at any rate, as one of the best, if not THE best, albums ever created! I don't think anyone have ever managed to put into such precise articulation - bordering on poetry - how and why this album was conceived and given birth to. It is a beautiful story and expertly and empathetically told! Stay safe, stay healthy, and have a peaceful evening.

Best series you have ever done

Man, this was really amazing. If you're gonna do this again I'd really like a series on To Pimp A Butterfly.

This series helped me experience the magic of DSOTM all over again :) thanks Polyphonic!

This has been one of my favourites series of videos I've ever had the privilege to enjoy, partly because it's one of the greatest albums of all time but also thanks to your fantastic insight, research and production value. Cheers man, hope you continue to grow and succeed in this line of work, you deserve it.

Thank you for a great series about one of my favorite albums of all time!

An excellent finale for a fantastic series. Thank you so much!

As much as I love The Wall, Dark Side is my favorite. Just a spectacular piece of work: production, lyrics, themes, instrumentation....it all has this lovely flow. Doesn't it also start and end with a heartbeat too? That's so clever....

Seriously loved this project. Being a video editor myself I'm astonished at the coherency you gave to the whole aesthetics. Amazing work man. Also you gave me a broader perspective on the whole concept behind the album. Insane job, hope you'll go this deep with more albums.

Glad I saw the whole series after just seeing the Great Gig in the Sky feature! The interesting thing is that you have scenes from Philadelphia, and when you talk about travel, you show the Harrisburg airport (with Three Mile Island in the background!)

You’ve outdone yourself with this series, Polyphonic! Well done sir!

I loved this series and I love this entire album. I definitely got a lot more out of the album than I did before with the help of your videos.

for what it is worth it. AMAZING SERIES, LOVED IT SO MUCH AND RECOMMANDED IT TO SO MANY FRIENDS

Total understanding . Thank you. This album is something I hold dear.
