      My father used to lay in the living room in the early morning, before the sun rose, and listen to various kinds of music. He was a Vietnam vet, it was the mid 70s, and music was one of his ways to cope with what he'd went through. Sometimes I'd come in on Saturday, before cartoons came on, and lay on the floor with him, and he'd turn one of his clamshell headphones so I could lay next to him and listen. I remember this song clearly one morning.
      He was my hero, and when I saw a tear run out of the corner of his closed eyes at that line...I was 7 or 8, and had no concept of what combat or warfare was like in person, but I understood my father was a military man. I didn't connect the lyrics then.
      Years later, when I was a grown man, and had two of my own friends go off to Desert Storm (and thankfully come back), I was laying on the floor like my father, and listening to the entire album of Dark Side, and heard this song and those lyrics again...and it all hit me like a ton of bricks. I hadn't been through it myself...but I had empathy, and I understood. How many generations of young men throughout history had been scarred at the request of old men who used them like pawns?
      I love knowing my dad and I can share the music of Pink Floyd like this, two different generations.

    The sound engineer for this album was Alan Parsons. He later started The Alan Parsons Project, and it's a crime that you haven't reacted to them yet. "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" would be a good first choice, Jay should recognize the Sirius instrumental if he is any kind of sports fan. My favorite of theirs is "Time" will bring tears to your eyes. "Don't Answer Me" and "Wouldn't want to be Like You" are also good to hit.

      Yeah, "Elevator music" is not the compliment he might think it is, and this song is seething frustration & anger alongside the beauty & relaxation, and is STILL relevant to this day- it echoes though time to now and keeps going:
      Us and them-
      And after all
      we're only
      ordinary men.
      Me and you-
      God only knows
      It's not what
      we would choose
      to do.
      "Forward," he cried
      from the rear
      and the front rank died.
      The general sat
      And the lines on the map
      Moved from side to side.
      Black and blue-
      And who knows
      which is which
      and who is who?
      Up and down-
      And in the end
      it's only round and round...
      and round
      "Haven't you heard
      It's a battle of words?"
      the poster bearer cried.
      "Listen son,"
      said the man with the gun,
      "there's room for you inside."
      Spoken- "I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
      So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
      They won't do it again. Dig it?
      I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
      I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
      I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
      Down and out-
      It can't be helped
      but there's a lot
      of it about
      With, without-
      And who'll deny
      It's what the
      fighting's all about?
      Out of the way
      It's a busy day
      I've got things on my mind
      For the want of the price
      Of tea and a slice
      The old man died
      That en't Muzak, kids- although some schmuck
      probably made a Muzak version of it.

    DSoTM was released in '73 during my junior year of high school. I've never been high on anything, but back then chilling on a big bean bag chair with this playing on headphones was a trip all by itself. A few years later my best friend's dad bought one of the first quadraphonic audio systems and my friend and I used to sit in the middle of the room and engulf ourselves in the 4-channel surround sound version. Even now I love to listen to the 5.1 surround version on the home theater system. Never really get tired of it in any format... Nearly 50 years later, it's still a shut up and crank up the volume song/album.

    When this album came out I had just gotten married and my husband and his family were building our home. They wired our entire house with speakers in every room. The amazing sounds of great music coming throughout our home was unforgettable. Being surrounded by Pink Floyd's music. 😀😀 Was lucky to have seen every Pink Floyd concert that ever came to Cleveland,Ohio. 70 years old now but never realized just how blessed I was to have grown up in such a great musical time. Thank you for not only the great reaction but the great reminders of the music of the best times of my life. Peace and blessings. 😊😊

    It's tough to take this album one song at a time, out of context. The songs blend into each other because it's really one 40-minute piece of music, meant to be taken in at once. Once you listen to all the songs, you should take the whole thing in as a whole experience. After that I'd also suggest watching the "Dark Side of Oz" video, where they sync the album up to the Wizard of Oz. There are a lot of weird coincidences in the film that match up to the music.

    Back in O.C. Calif when I was 30 my wife heard a commercial on the radio about a P.F. show coming up. Knowing I am a Floyd fan she called the radio station (KMET - LA, “The Mighty Met”) to get information on the concert, The DJ on live radio Cynthia Fox…. said...."Congratulations, YOU are caller number 10, YOU just won tickets to the show and the Sound Check Party before the show"...
    I met David Gilmour back stage. He gave us both a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I told him his music will stand the test of time with anything from Beethoven or Mozart. He smiled even bigger. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know. . I told him in my eyes he’s a “Legend“. He thanked me and said “Enjoy the show”…. during the concert after the song “Money” he looked right at me and said…. “On saxophone, another Legend, Mr. Raphael Ravenscroft” … acknowledging my comment to him. It is my favorite moment in over 300 shows I’ve seen.
    I asked David…. How do you create those awesome solos?… he said….. I sit on a stool and listen to what Roger, Nick and Rick put down and play along. I listen to what I played and pick out what I like, then I put the pieces together into one piece then learn to play it as one. Our fans are fanatics for our shows to sound like the albums so I must play it correctly each time in a show. I have the concert Brochure and album on the wall with David’s picture centerfold.
