I wrote a speech on Dark Side, in college speech class, and I got like a C or a D bc the teacher said I should have written about “The Wall”, bc it’s theatrics made it a more notable album to him. I was like, “ok, but there were no rules about speech content, so why am I getting a bad grade?” He didn’t have an answer, besides “the walls” better. Fucking asshole. I hated him. So did everyone else in the class.

Pink Floyd's use of the term "dark side of the moon" is very simply meant to be a metaphor for insanity. They were very deeply affected by the (at times) profound mental illness on their bandmate (Syd Barrett) and wrote/dedicated much of their most heralded material to him. Most of this album and Wish You Were Here were a tribute to him and reflected their sense of loss of him not being there with them. The song Shine On You Crazy Diamond is, IMO, their best track and is an example of their love for their missing brother.

Astronomically speaking, the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth meaning one face is always towards Earth, we never see the back side of the Moon from Earth, and this is really what the "Dark side of the Moon" is referring to when said where "Dark" refers to the unknown (think of old references to "Darkest Africa" which basically meant it was unexplored). We did not know the nature of the back side of the Moon until it was orbited by Satellites in the 1960s. The Lunar cycle is about 30 Earth Days long (this is 1 Lunar day) and any point of the Moon will have a sunrise and sunset in a Lunar cycle (except perhaps at extreme poles seasonally just like here on Earth) so there is no "Dark" side. Metaphorically I think the narrator is telling us we are all a little crazy and all a little sane.

The whole album is about one of the band members, Syd Barrett, descending into insanity from schizophrenia. The line from Brain Damage "and when the band You're in starts playing different tunes" actually happened on stage, as Syd was hearing different songs in his head than what the band was performing. Pink Floyd had two albums that were specifically about Syd's descent into madness, Dark Side of the Moon, about the vagaries of life leading to madness, and Wish You Were Here, a lament for the lost band member, which accuses the music industry of driving them all to madness.

We are traveling through the "Dark Side" right now... the unrest and craziness follows a cyclic nature of about forty years or so, roughly the same as the generational translation...

The dark side of the moon is the side we don't see. The moon doesn't revolve like the earth and other planets do. It's a metaphor. This song is about Sid Barrett their original leader and lead guitarist. He dropped too much acid and got lost in his head. Ended up in a mental institution for a while. The line "and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes..." is reference to an incident where Sid was trying to teach them a song he was working on and they would join in and he'd say no that isn't it and then start playing something else... the band wasn't messing up HE was... This song, and Shine on you Crazy Diamond are both in reference to Sid Barrett.

@@jimcarlson6157 the moon revolves around the earth in around 28 of our days. However it is tidally locked to Earth, which means that the length of a full rotation of the Moon on its own axis causes its same side (the near side) to always face Earth, and the somewhat longer lunar day is the same as the synodic period. That said, 59% of the total lunar surface can be seen from Earth through shifts in perspective due to libration. Simply put, yes the moon rotates on its axis. But moon's rate of rotation nearly matches its orbital period, which keep the same side facing Earth. Hence we are always looking at the same side.

Just to add to this, where Shine On You Crazy Diamond and the line in this song: 'when the band you're in starts playing different tunes' is specifically about Syd; the rest of this song also references a multitude of lunatics, including politicians who's photographs would appear folded on the front pages newspapers being delivered and the more general loonies in mental decline. where there is even a reference to frontal lobotomies which was a common practice during the mid 20th century for severe mental illness cases (see One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest).

To get the full effect of what this song and album really mean, try the entire Dark Side of the Moon album sometime, it will make more sense and you get the flow that way. For a stand alone Floyd song, try Echoes, both the original studio and the 2 part videos Live in the ruins of Pompeii, it was 2 parts because it opened and closed the film about that event. Floyd is a long journey to be savored every step of the way, just relax, vibe and go with the flow and they will take you to places you did not know existed! Enjoy. 🎵

Pink Floyd is master piece of reflection and pure vibes

Another good choice, as I am a lifelong Pink Floyd fan. And in fact, I was born the year this album came out. Also, it is the sixth best selling album of all time!

This came out a half a century ago. And it's still so relevant. This is Roger Waters' masterpiece. This album is one of the best selling LP's of all time selling over 50 MILLION copies. The album itself STILL goes platinum every year as new fans find it and old fans replace old records and CD's. Meant, by Waters, to be a one long 42 minute suite, it had to be broken up into songs so the band could be paid for an "album" & not a single. This album was on the Billboard Hot 100 for 987 weeks (That's 19 YEARS on the charts, JUST INSANE). It was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". It literally is a PERFECT album. #1 of all time in my opinion. The lengths they went to, to pull this off in 1973, with no computers and just analog tape, is just astounding!!

Among the most poetic verse of life and death put to music. It’s Beautiful.

The greatest album ever recorded. On the album charts for 958 weeks. That’s over 18 years!

This is the last song of the best concept album of all time. It's a culmination of the whole album and doesn't work as well as stand alone songs. Try the whole album and see if you like it better in context. Thanks for the great comments as always.

The lyrics PF comes up with are the deep, profound, and have somewhat hidden messages. I loved this song ever since I first heard it.

Arguably the greatest album ever. It has spent more weeks in Billboards top 200 than any other album in history, by a wide margin. You really should listen to all of PF "middle era" albums in their entirety to appreciate the meaning and the music.

A good clue to help understand this album is that it's main theme revolves around: “WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY”. (BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy. (ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy. (TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy. (THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the thought of the inevitable end (death), can drive people crazy. (MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy. (US AND THEM); If the differences in class of people or the power grant to them can drive people crazy. (ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy. (BRAIN DAMAGE); If the many rules of life (keep off the grass) and all the previous points can drive people crazy. (ECLIPSE); Since our influence in this world comes down to what is within our reach, then even though the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the darkness of the moon. But anyway, (I'll see you on the dark side of the moon).

In this episode of Brad & Lex, Brad eases into his "signature side to side sway" after Lex catches him off guard with her "pizza earth" comment. The tune continues as they share a smirk in unison further allowing the mood of the masterpiece to manipulate their minds.

You’ve got to react to Pink Floyd Pulse.. it’s a different experience watching them perform live..

there's an entire thought process behind this whole album, u need to hear the entire album in one go, its a lyrical, musical and ofcourse a cinematic masterpiece

First heard this album almost 50 years ago. A staple in every well stocked college students record collection in the 70’s. Never tired of it. The unique sound recorded at Abbey Road studios. The people talking in the background on several songs (McCartney and others) were recorded in the Abbey Road studio lunchroom. This recording still sells a few hundred thousand copies a year.

my best memories of pink floyd was sitting im my buddies room as a teen with nothing but darkness a blacklight and blacklight posters and getting so very stoned and just kicking back and relaxing...to bad i grew out of that but the memories of thoes days will be with me for a lifetime....

The Moon is gravitationally locked and revolves on its axis in exactly the same amount of time (a lunar day) that it takes to complete one orbit of the Earth (a lunar month, about 29.5 Earth days). The upshot of this is that the same surface of the moon is always pointed toward the Earth. What we call the dark side is the other side that cannot be seen from the Earth and that is always pointed away from us. However, the Moon, in and of itself, does not produce any light, it merely reflects the light of the Sun. Therefore, if you could remove the Sun from the equation, the whole of the Moon would be dark. Hence the final statement on the album.

If you can talk Brad into it you should watch some of their lives stuff from pulse theater

Pink Floyd is definitely a vibe. It certainly helps to be under the influence. Not advocating it, but when I was high AF, putting on a Floyd Album was literally a spiritual experience back in the day. One of the most creative, amazing bands in history, no doubt. Sober now, and would still stand by that.

The greatest Rock album of all time, it was in Billboards Top selling albums list for an unprecedented 958 weeks, and over 50 million, (and counting), albums sold! You guys are discussing the meaning of this song in the wrong context, the whole album is the story, not one song. Virtually all Pink Floyd albums are concept albums telling a story, the "Dark Side Of The Moon" album is about life and death, with a side nod to Syd Barrett in "Brain Damage" The very beginning of the album, and the very end, showcase a slowed down heartbeat. You guys have done other "Dark Side Of The Moon" album songs, likw "Us And Them" which is about war, and "Time", which is about how time flies by in our lives. Also "Great Gig In The Sky" which is about "death" and "horror". I put quotation marks with death and horror because those are the exact words PF told Clair Torry to think about, for a while, before she did the wordless vocals she sings and screams in Great Gig. The song "Brain Damage" is the Syd Barrett reference, if you know Barretts story it is clear. Syd Barrett was one of the founding members of PF in 1964, but he was forced to leave the band by 1967 because of massive LSD use and mental health issues. His good friend David Gilmour took over as lead singer and guitarist of PF. There's a direct reference to Barrett in one of the lyrics in Brain Damage, the verse goes,.. ......."And If The Band You're In Starts Playing Different Tunes" Syd Barrett, near the end, was so out of it, so unhinged from reality,... that when the band would be rehearsing, and even at a show or two, Syd would go off and begin to play a different song than the song the other three band members were playing!!

Brad, you are the absolute most honest person, and brother, I appreciate that!!

The smallest thing can block out the largest. It's a mental thing.

"What's the dark side of the moon?" There is an intended interpretation, but, as with all art, appreciation is on the client side and not the server. Whatever meaning you got from this is correct. It is correct because your interpretation is a reflection of you. Your experiences. Your demons. Your triumphs. Your values. This is the purpose of art.

@@MsPrincesspaulina Guilty. Though it has been many years.

Pls react to shine on you crazy Diamond next, it’s Pink Floyd’s best song. Has some of Gilmours best guitar and has some of the best instrumental I ever heard. It’s also the song that got me to love Pink Floyd

Or you can do on the turning away live Delicate sound of thunder or comfortably numb live pulse, both represent how good David plays guitar

There is a heartbeat that runs through the entire album. Discovered that as a teenager because by turntable vibrated to the heartbeat and you could actually see it.

I love your Pink Floyd reactions! They have a large library to pick from. I would like to recommend a few if I may. And these encompass all eras of Floyd. Astronomy Domine, Let There Be More Light, If, Echoes, Pigs (Three Different Ones), Dogs, Have A Cigar, The Post War Dream, On The Turning Away, Sorrow, Wearing The Inside Out, Coming Back To Life.

Now you all need to listen to this album all the way through, either on your own time or here on the channel. You won’t regret it

Brad after listening to whole album: "it's slow"

It would be interesting if you two would do a straight listen through the whole album, uninterrupted on your down time. And then do a stand alone video sharing your thoughts on it…. I bet your perspectives would be radically different and interesting to hear.

In fact, the laugh you hear in this song is made by Pete Watts, one of the Sound Engineers for Pink Floyd. But did you know Pete Watts has a very famous daughter? The blonde actress in The Ring (2002) and The Ring Two (2005), Naomi Watts.

your lighting and recording looking so good.. thanks for all the great reactions

One of my favorite rock songs ever! The whole album is phenomenal, considered to be the first "concept album" in Rock and Roll. The whole album is about a guy going crazy and it all culminates at the end with "Brain Damage/Eclipse". So in the first half of the song when he's singing about the lunatics getting closer and closer until they're in his head, it's as basic as that. It's about a dude going crazy. Of course there's a more complicated background story.

No way this is the first concept album, that title goes to Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band by The Beatles, in 1967

Woah, I had looked into this also thinking about some Beatles albums, and somehow got it wrong. I read somewhere that Dark Side came out earlier. Oh well, I stand corrected. 🤷‍♀️

The thing with this whole record is you need to listen to the whole thing, you can't just pick songs out of context.

Short story. When I first heard Dark side of the moon I thought its OK, then I played it 2-3-4-5 time and then I didnt stop for moths, then I heard Wish you were here I thought its OK, then I played it 2-3-4-5 time and then I didnt stop for moths, and that goes for every Pink Floyd album so I got some 5 years of best music experience of my life. I know every song, every note of every song and it was worth it. They are gonna be learned in music schools

One of my favorite groups, I’ve been fortunate enough to attend 3 of their concerts before they stopped touring.

🏳️‍🌈⃤ Love me some Floyd!

I'm soooo glad you guys heard both songs together. since the first time I heard them I could NOT hear them separately.

1 of my favorites. Rock on Brad & Lex

the last part is the beginning of the first part of the album, pink floyd is to be listened from beginning to end on most of their albums

Love your Zeppelin shirt Lex! This is an incredible song!

One of my favorite bands. Makes me so happy that you are enjoying them.

Love the reaction! Love Pink Floyd!

This album will be played for another 100 years for generations to come

Brad got gold stars in school for always coloring inside the lines.

Some of my favorite lyrics. Thanks.

Anytime I have ever listen to this album it was start to finish not by listening to one song. It was the first album I bought when I was 16 year's old when it was released and it still is my favorite

love their smiles thats the power of pink floyd

Pink Floyd is a trip in itself. Kinda like the cold side of the sun which sounds like a cool song they could have written.

I knew that second laugh was gonna get ya! 🤣

If you lived in the suburbs north of Chicago you realized that the best way to listen to this album was stoned, laying on the floor in the dark, wearing headphones,

Love the album, love this track love your reaction to it!

This song is super lit!! Gets me every time when I kick back and chill. 🥃 🚬

I still remember the first time I heard this album. A guy I was going to college with dropped a needle on it ad played the whole thing. It’s the only first-time listen album I remember that vividly. That was over forty five years ago.

Magnificent. Congratulations on your enthusiasm

These two pieces of music combined are the greatest ever for me
