Hey.... Its been a while since I updated the blog...but this time I have got something which is pretty amazing (especially if you are a Pink Floyd fan)
Now we all know that 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' is the most successful Pink Floyd album ever but what surprised me the most is when the following revelation hit me.
The songs that are present in the album are arranged in the following order
1. Breathe
2. On The Run
3. Time
4. The Great Gig In The Sky
5. Money
6. Us And Them
7. Any Color You Like
8. Brain Damage
9. Eclipse
Now I know you will be thinking the reason why I have mentioned the songs in the order as they appear on the album.....This is the good part.
Now think of the 'Moon' as 'Life'. So the album is actually 'The Dark Side Of Life'So what is the first thing you do when you are born?.... you 'Breathe' which is the first songof the album....also if you notice the song starts with 'heartbeats'...this indicates thebeginning of life...now the lyrics of the song is like getting advice on 'how difficult it isto live life' and what you need to do to survive....its the kind of advice you would receivefrom an elder...
The next song on the album is 'On The Run' which you can say is the kinda life you live since you are a child till you reach your Mid 20's....you are always on the run trying to get to the front of the line...at times by hook or by crook
'Time' is the next song on the list..... very interesting......this is the song that refers tothe time when you realise that you are not getting any younger and its about time you didsomething in life.. as mentioned in song.... at that point in life you remember the facts ofthe hardships of life that is mentioned in 'Breathe' and hence there is a part of 'Breathe' that makes up the last stanza of this song.
You work hard and you taste the success the kind that you would after you've had a 'Great Gig In The Sky'. Now this is a song that does not have any lyrics....its just a women screaming(for those who call it that) but actually they are the screams of a person going through thehardships to make it big and eventually getting there
So now you have the success and also you have 'Money' that comes along with the success....what happens next is what is mentioned in the song.... you tend to get selfish... you want allthe money for yourself....you are insatiable....
Now you start differentiating between people and 'Us and Them' is the song that tells you about that aspect.....
But still since you have the success and the money, you also get the respect....you get theV.I.P treatment anywhere you go.....you can get anything and that to in 'Any Color You Like',even custom made if that is what you wanna call itBut as they say with the Money and the V.I.P treatment you get all the vices as well...you getinto bad company...alcohol....heavy drugs....it could be anything but eventually you looseit... 'Brain Damage' is what you are diagnosed with....and that is how you remain untileventually you get to your end
Now since your life is compared to the moon even the end should be compared to it and what better way than comparing the end of life to an 'Eclipse'..... This song also ends with 'heartbeats'
There you have it.... 'the whole life cycle'....
After I got this revelation it made my belief even stronger that Pink Floyd is truly one of themost amazing bands and 'The Dark Side Of the Moon' is actually an even more amazing album.....
THEIR GREATNESS CANNOT BE MATCHED.....IT CAN ONLY BE APPRECIATED........
