  • Pet Sounds is the finest album, of course. like 7 seven years before this one

  • @jammmon I can't agree with you on that one. PF was ahead of their time, and still are today. I forgot what it's called but I watched how this album was put together track but track and after that, you don't look at this album the same way. I was blown away by the effects, techniques, and the technology they had back then to create this.

  • this is music not bullshit

  • Talk about the finest fuckin album ever created. Every song is sex to my ears.. I can't really think of another band that is like that except for Led Zeppelin.

  • entered space, lost into my thoughts

  • hey they ripped of Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson xD

    Paul in 1971: listen to minute 1:10 in the song "Uncle Albert "

    the single song beats this whole album

    and Floyd ripped off from the album Pet Sounds too..

    the chords progressions of The Dark side of the moon are based on the chorus of Beach Boy's "Don't Talk"

    Just listen

  • i reintroduced an old female friend to this song yesterday(who introduced me to the wall many years ago.) when it started playing she said "am i playing 2 songs at once?" to which i laughed and said, "no it's simply a 3 minute acid trip" to which she wigged out and had to stop playing.

  • if you could see sound this song would make you go blind

  • @metalfingers89 or if you could see sound this would make you see if you were blind

  • now, imagine Syd thinking, in any colour you like...

  • electro psychedelic funk.

  • 1. that's no reason to call someone a dead beat loser. be the bigger man.

    2. and I said quit ACTING like it. you're being a pompous ass. "Duh if you knowd anything about Pink Fwoyd, you'd know they didn't do dat many drugs's."

    3. yes it is.

    Now you go have a nice day!

  • Nothing wrong with being straight edged...or being a stoner.

  • Burn

  • @xxshaddowxxtx 

    Lol,what a fag

  • the best song ever!

  • Gilmour sings one note at 1:27 so it's not an instrumental :D

  • @grevejp44 Are you its Gilmour VOICE??

  • @grevejp44 yes. the long not you here him go. aaaaaaaaaaaaahh...

  • @grevejp44 gilmour sings more than one note

  • @grevejp44 wow great ear! I have reached almost 500 plays (through itunes) of this album and i've never noticed that.

  • You don't need drugs to appreciate Pink Floyd. I hate when people say The Wall movie can only be understood on drugs. However, when smoking weed I a song like this seems slower and it gives off a really good vibe. So you don't need to be high when listening but it could add something extra.

  • @aruiz90 It sounds like 100x better on weed.... But I always enjoy this song, and pink floyd, high or not. But to deny that this is a drug band made for stoners, is stupid. XD Pink Floyd is synonmous with drugs for a reason--they all did huge amounts of them.

  • how i wish this song never ended

  • This is the soundtrack to my orgasm

  • *peace of mind* i'm flying... ^^

  • If you are bored (or just high), please check out my cover version of this song; I tried to give the video a psychedelic twist. I hope my alien friends in outer space will enjoy it.

  • @Stix4568 I listen to 15+ minute songs by jam bands when I'm not high, and it's still incredible. For me, drugs don't enhance my musical interests. If they do, you don't really like the music..

  • @tportellejam14 im a music fiend i download about 10-40 songs a day and i am a serious herbal intaker. weed intensifies the sounds and sounds that you didnt know where there become apparent. hella songs that you dont understand the lyrics to, smoke a bowl youll become comprehensive on everything.

  • Comment removed

  • @davemorphine I had a good insult for you, then upon replying i noticed your name. Darn, it was a goodn =p

  • 1 word AWESOME!

  • As far as I know Gilmour DID sing along on the recorded version.

  • all I have to say is I loved this tune when I was 10 (and didn't do drugs then) and appreciated it just as much on weed (in my teen years in the early 80's) and still today. Loved it high, loved it drunk and love it sober just as much ... sheer brilliance !!

    Although hard to pick 'ONE' favorite from Floyd this is a front runner for my most favorite of all time.

  • i hate how people make such a big deal out of weed. its just what it is it has nothing to do with the music ang getting high doesnt totally alter your sense of reality unless its like your first few times smoking. get over it

  • its my birthday!

  • Me and my friend smoked a shit ton of weed came home and played The Dark Side of The Moon.. the full album and honestly the whole album played but it only seemed like 5 minutes

  • @TheDatsyukian

    What kind of weed did you smoke man? When me and my friend were high this song seemed to last as long as the entire album which is the opposite of what happened to you.

  • @696969Brian696969 i guess we wern't high enough

  • i think when the snake tempted eve with the fruit from the tree of knowledge, or tree of life, or whatever it was called, i think it was actually a natural form of some kind of acid. Cuz it let them see things differently, and in a more analytical way. hehehe

  • its pretty sad when u need drugs to see the art in pink floyd.

  • @MrKoCoMo I agree

  • Duhh. you definitely dont need drugs to enjoy art. It just so happens that the art produced by some artists that have ingested drugs seem to be the most astounding and inspiring.

    Drugs have catalyzed organismic evolution

    Without organismic curiosity involving drugs and the action of mistakenly altering ones consciousness , we humans would have never gotten as far as we have today. Science is great

    Pink Floyd Fucking OWNS!

  • @TikiKid you have no idea what your talking about. just letting you know.

  • @TikiKid francis crick figured out the molecular structure of dna on lsd

  • @TikiKid I think You're on drugs man.

  • this sint good music its MUSIC

  • my favourite rock band!

    Why?

    Because when someone asks what kind of music this is..there is nothing to say..this is just Pink Floyd

  • immma start smoking again

  • great song. found the single 45 for this on vinyl. amazing sound. listen to it slowed down. sounds even more amazing.

  • Beautifull !

  • How do you argue with someone in telling them just because weed is considered a drug just like cocaine, it is not seen as cocaine??

  • good song

  • THE MOST UNDERATED TRACK OF THE ALBUM, AND, FOR SOME REASON, MY FAVOURITE! MAYBE, IT HAS TO DO WITH... "LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS!!!" GREETINGS FROM CYPRUS!

  • I was 8 years old when I first got this album and this song quickly became my favourite. There are guitar and Synth techniques used here which became the foundation of techno-experimental bands and influenced a whole new genre of music. As for the whole drug thing, I will admit to listening to this while high during the rebellious teenage years and although the sensation of heightened consciousness or experiencing something 'mighty' one should realize that all drugs do is alter reality !

  • This song is just amazing. 1970's music, blend of rock and early electronica, I LOVE IT. Synths were just expensive noise makers at the time. Making music out of one was hard. Affording one was hard as well. A synth back then was like buying a car. Those that could master the new tech, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream. Future of music.

  • the endings cut off :(

  • @joshbdrules

    it just segues into the next track

  • sperb!! mithic!! phantastic!!enormous::ireelle!­! magic!! owersome !!! will go trough the time like sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Who need to smoke weed to listen to this didn't understand the greatness of Pink Floyd.

    Also, if you smoke weed and you need to tell everyone on the internet you smoked weed you are probably 12 and have no life.

  • @MrOzzyIommi geeee...you're really a Debbie Downer:/

  • @Bunzypoo what?

  • @MrOzzyIommi Forget it. I was replying to your comment to jpiz1. Keep up.

  • @Bunzypoo You can't disagree what I said, there's no need to use drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd.

  • @MrOzzyIommi You're right I can't but, smoking a little can be really fun and you were raining on someones parade and that is just not very nice.

  • @Bunzypoo youre a fag

  • @ihavelilt and you're a pussy bitch!

  • Our band did a cover on this, I was hoping to get some opinions on it from Floyd fans. Check it out on our page. =) watch?v=2l3uTARZ0i4

  • brain damage!

  • every Pink Floyd video there is a poser who uses drugs and thinks they validate the liking of Pink Floyd. GO TO HELL!!

  • For all you amitures listining to this song, watch the movie "The Wall" while your smoking weed. The songs arent in the same order as the album but its badass.

  • @OneAndOnly719 actually they are, but the movie is missing the Hey You part! i think the dvd has Hey You in the deleted scenes not sure

  • Music is my drug

  • weed is great

  • i dont care if you like drugs, alcohol or nicotine stop using good music as excuse

  • If u listen to Pink Floyd on acid you will hear more great sounds

  • My favorite is the beginning in general but my peak part is from 0:53 to 1:19

  • I always listen to this baked. Truly amazing, my mind is blown every time.

  • MORE is the best btw...lol

  • hahahaha cant listen to pf on acid, thats for sure..

  • I'm a pink floyd fan and I'm straight edge. I love all of their albums including their solo stuff. I think the whole "You need to listen to pink floyd high man..." really discredits their reputation as they are brilliant musicians.

  • @Thearmgame lmao I believed for a moment that I was the only one who thought that way. Couldn't agree with you more

  • @Thearmgame 'you don't need drugs to enjoy pink floyd.

    you need pink floyd to enjoy drugs!' credits to: unknown

    anybody that tells you you 'need to' do anything a particular way, rather than offering an honest open perspective free of persuasive pressure, is not a person to take advice from.

    if you choose to do drugs why listen to anything other than the work of masters. enough with the dub step crap.

  • @Thearmgame thats cool but trust me just trust me being high expands the brilliance tenfold my homie!!!

  • @Thearmgame Three tabs of acid will also make my point just do it give in to the treats of the mind

  • @NIghtTlk I'm jealous of you because I can't be in such a state of ignorant bliss as you, and that's coming from an acid user. Cool story, kid.

  • @BasementBeginnings Haha theres many ways reach that blissful state drugs arent the only way to reach that, I disagree with some peoples views against drugs for their mood altering qualities, everything in life, love, religious experiences, music such as this, sex, they all alter your moods, life is just a constant game of altering your state of mind

  • @NIghtTlk Lolwut. Are you so bombed right now you're unaware I was actually making fun of you?

    I haven't implied you can feel the effects of drugs with more intensity than me, and the ignorant state of bliss I was referring to is not the feeling you get from acid, it is your stupidity.

    Now, you've basically confessed to being naturally stupid without the aid of acid, and I'd say you're on the ballpark there.

  • @BasementBeginnings haha oh you did sorry i didn't catch that I'm not a pretentious asshole as yourself lol

  • @NIghtTlk I like how you troll on all these music videos yet you prolly dont know the first thing that goes into making music such as this.. hipsters lol

  • @NIghtTlk I like how you're struggling to make sense, yet are tripping so hard you ended up pressing quote on yourself. Pseudo-intellectual stoners lol.

    Also, I do not troll on music videos. That's an unfounded assumption, and Pink Floyd is among my favourite bands. I only troll on stupid people - you just looked like the kind of person that needed something said to, and I was correct. Keep making my day, my homie.

  • @BasementBeginnings Im glad i could make your day, just seems rather sad if these kind of events mark the highlights of it lol

  • @NIghtTlk This is just entertaining, and it's something to do. Not often do I actually engage in a real conversation with a genuine moron.

  • @BasementBeginnings Atleast were both happy =), hey how does it feel to win a pointless arguement, do you do that often? is it something that makes you feel like an intellectual?, does it compensate for something your lacking?, from my experience an asshole is an asshole cause its usually been fucked with haha get a therapist and figure out your life stop wasting thoughts on people that obviously don't care to engage on the intellectual side of your arguement if there is any haha

  • @NIghtTlk I'm just gonna ignore that entire desperate unfounded retaliation, and say you spelled "argument" wrong.

    So, no. This makes me feel like an intellectual. Back to you.

  • @NIghtTlk It doesn't take being a pretentious asshole to understand your dimwitted ass is being ridiculed. Just a decent sense of perspective, and a bit of education - both of which I doubt you possess.

    You seem a little embarassed.

  • @BasementBeginnings lol people like you make me smile =)

  • @NIghtTlk Wrong. Your antidepressants make you smile. =)

  • @BasementBeginnings haha yes they do =)

  • @Thearmgame dude ur a faggot, u clearly dont kno shit about pink floyd...all i have to say as im sitting here with a few good friends STONED btw, laughing at ur comment. Learn about music nd the musicians before you go making a retard statement like that one.  Have fun being "straight edge" ur clearly some silly 15 year old cuz ur using labels on urself. I rember back when i was in middle school kids used to do that.

  • @xxshaddowxxtx It's funny that you accuse someone else of being 15, when you type like an uneducated 12 year old and have the same level of common sense.

  • @xxshaddowxxtx

    Dude, you're wasting your time. I'm straight edge (I hate that term). Why? Because my family has a history of addiction and I don't wanna' end up a dead beat loser like yourself.

    If YOU KNEW ANYTHING about Pink Floyd, you would know the use of drugs by them was rather minimal compaired to other artists of the time.

  • @Thearmgame if you hate the term why use it? just say you don't do drugs, jeez. everyone's gotta label everything nowadays. silly humans.

    oh and quit being such a faggy sXe kid. not everyone that does drugs is a "dead beat loser". and quit acting like you know everything about pink floyd. you haven't experienced floyd until you've tripped balls to the whole animals album while rolling on the floor playing air guitar to the solo in dogs. just sayin'

  • @TicalWave89

    1. Did I EVER SAY that everyone who does drugs is a "dead beat loser"? No. I was replying to xxshaddowxxtx who was obviously trying to provoke a fight and being a jerk.

    2. Did I EVER SAY that I know everything about Pink Floyd? No. I was replying to his comment that I knew nothing about Pink Floyd.

    3. Playing air guitar to the solo in dogs is just as fun sober. :)

    Have a nice day!

  • @Thearmgame no it doesnt.... you REALLY need to listen to them when you're high. you think they sound good sober???

  • > thissucksicantfinda

    " am 15 and this song means so much to me makes me think of how my generation will change the world"

    LISTEN TO BOB MARLEY

    fucking hippie cliché

    "oh, i'm nude, i'm running in the grass"

    BULLSHIT

  • Fuck to all of the junkies here, STOP drawing a parallel between the PF and drugs, fuck off !

    On mdma i'm sure you'll like to listen to Shakira.

    PF is great, it's all.

  • lol well i really hope you is not talking about weed ^_^ and why pissed like unholyfecalconcerto said they did it them selfs so why be pissed?

  • @unholyfecalconcerto I agree with your comment...but Shakira might be a stretch ;)

  • Amen

  • @BlackStrat54

    fag

  • everyone who wants a better experience out of pink floyd do drugs... thats all i have to say they are incredible without but they are out of this world with them smoking ganj helps but the best thing is probably codines mixed with some weed or mdma is good too drugs rule just do them in proportion

  • hell yes XDDDD

  • This song was bumper music when Art Bell still was on Coast to Coast radio...

    Nothing like listening to talk on the radio at 2AM about aliens, space travel, crystal cities on the dark side of the moon, then being led out to the snarling synthesizers of this song....

  • The first 1:2O are the best

  • so amazing.

  • I am 15 and this song means so much to me makes me think of how my generation will change the world,i remeber listing to this song when me and my buddy were lying in the grass smoking a pipe of weed and i had my ear phones on pasing the pipe back and forth looking at the stars and just eazing out man got to love floyd

  • you talk about changing the world and using drugs in the same sentence

  • I don't care if they used drugs or not, there music makes up for there flaws in the end.

  • yeah, look at early pics of floyd with gilmour and tell me they werent on drugs.......please. get a grip....this is the floyd and yes they all did drugs though they were smart enough to dodge bullets....you don't write songs like this stone cold sober folks.....thank god

  • Layer upon layer of beautiful sounds topped off by gorgeous, singing lead guitar. Floyd at their best. Just love it.

  • I love this part of Dark Side Of The Moon. Everything is just perfect.

  • Weed has made me learn to slow down and appreciate music a lot more... That said no you don't need drugs to enjoy this music, but if you choose to do them, Lets just say that between the echoes of the simultaneous solo you can almost hear Gilmour singing along in pitch to his solo. Craps crazy when your mega stoned. Crank the volume, dim the lights, and float away whether your completely smacked on something or perfectly sober. Pink Floyd is true artistic brilliance.

  • @thephantomlord13 so true

  • @thephantomlord13 indeed it duz

  • @thephantomlord13

    can't agree more

  • @thephantomlord13

    you don't need weed to enjoy art.

  • @L0veepanicc he didnt say that you need weed to enjoy. but it makes it a lot more awesome when you do... don't say no because believe me. a trippy song like this or anyone of pink floyd's will blow you away.

  • @thephantomlord13

    Yeah!!!!!!!! I can't wait to listen to this song after smoking a couple bowls. I did it once after smoking a bit and the song seemed like it was half an hour long lol.

  • gotta be blazed when listinen to this, it seems soo long, i feel bad for all of you who never tried weed. It opens new pathways in your brain, makes you rethink life itself.

  • ..and yet Gilmour says he and the band never took drugs. He said Sid was a good reason for him not to.

  • don't rub it in. and do you mean changed as in from you dont give a shit to you see more importance in life or everything is to important to you dont give a shit?

  • @Stix4568 Why do you feel bad for people who never tried drugs (myself included)? They do not "open new pathways in your brain," that's what a college music theory class is for...there's where you will learn to appreciate the work put into a song/album.

  • @Stix4568

    mmmm i smoked it for a few years and after this time it made me very anxious.. :-(

    anyway drugs are for those who stucked in the childhood

  • @Stix4568 yeah till your sober for a while then you become the same again just like you would be if you have never tried it

  • @Stix4568 "the philosophic herb" is what i like to call it

  • Meditate. ;)

  • yeah same

  • I agree with Morrowindsky, I don't need drugs to trip out with this, the song alone makes me trip, if you try enough you can trip just with your mind.

  • Some some weed nigga

    meth, coke, heroine, LSD, and other shit are drugs. Weed is doctor recommended.

    Or try meditation. Although it won't come nearly as fast or easy..

  • Isn't hypocrisy great!?!

  • are you asking to get shot

  • Floyd is 110% better than your favorite band, which has a 120% of sucking. You sir can suck this dick.

  • my favourite band is the beatles

  • and? how does that contribute here?

    I like carrots and the colour green, sometimes I yawn. Get relevant.

  • nah the dude said that other bands that ppl like are crap so i sed i lik the beatles

  • Hey morrowindsky...your lame...i am 100% positive that my relation ship with music is better than yours....as and lsd representitive will tell you, you can literally "feel" the music as though you are inside of it.. obviously you do not need drugs to listen to this and enjoy it. but with the help of drugs you can have more dramatic and spiritual affects off music...

  • That's because you like any music under the influence of drugs, shinymcbubbles. Only an idiot or someone who does drugs doesn't realize that.

  • Please spout out more ignorance I need more humor in my day

  • marijuana works wellllll

  • yeah absolutely

  • Love when the synthesizer comes back in around 2:44!

  • While I see your point morrowindsky, I personally disagree. It's like riding a playing a seventh gen game system on a general tv, or like doing it with a condom...while they are both still enjoyable experiences, it could and will definetly better if you get an HDTV or don't use a condom,respectively. Same with this song and weed (I can't image the trips I would have if I listened to this while on acid!). So if you haven't tried it, then you shouldn't have any room to talk about it.

  • LONG LIVE PINK!!!!!

  • morrowindsky i understand where you are coming from i can listen to this sober and abosolutly love it but when i smoke herb and listen to it it just takes you to a place in which i cant even explain its so awsome but you should try to smoke some herb to this and then see what you think

  • i fell asleep llistening to this on loop.....you wont imagin what kinda dream i had

  • smoke some herb and just lay down close your eyes and you will feel like you soaring its fucking amazing

  • man this just trips me out so hard

  • fuckin great...my favorite pink floyd song.

  • My favorite song from Pink Floyd. Just takes my mind to places.

  • Totally agree.

  • When I discovered this LP in 1973, I played it endlessly. This is the first music that ever took me to another dimension.
