I played in a Floyd tribute band for about ten years - we used to do DSOTM all the way through (wasn't easy) so I know these songs quite well.

[@edjeff1]

The series of lyrics that best explain this song & the album is this, " And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death." Deep shit! Something to think about. The whole song is perfectly written

[@cjonyx]

"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." A few years ago i was working with a therapist about some of the unresolved issues of my earlier life. One day listening to Pink Floyd (who i've always known about - I'm 53), this song was playing through my earbuds and when these lyrics came up.........it was though some of the question of my earlier life were finally being answered. What's the phrase? - Same song but with a different meaning.

I was twelve years old the first time I heard Pink Floyd. My brother was a few years older than me and would watch me listening to The Beatles 24/7. He finally said "Bro, I know you love The Beatles and they're an incredible band but I want you to listen to something different with me but you have to promise me you'll listen to the entire album." I was like "ugghh, fine dude just put it on." He put on Dark Side of the Moon. It was like my entire world changed in that forty-two and a half minutes. Now I still love The Beatles and I always will but that one defining moment changed the way I looked at music forever. It got me hooked on my second favorite band ever and then he had the audacity to put Zeppelin on the turntable and fuck my mind up some more. The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin still my top three today. Thanks brohan. Love you man, miss you.

Gotta hear this whole album, Dark Side of the Moon. Just 10 tracks. Spent 741 weeks on Billboard Top 40 (17 1/2 yrs). Probably best album ever made. Meant to be listened to all the way thru. It takes themes of life and make songs about them such as "Time", "Money", "Great Gig in the Sky" (about death), etc. It will open your eyes and mind, and change your life. Can't wait to see your face on " Great Gig in the Sky". I know that one is getting requested.

[@edb6690]

And remember like when Joe Dimaggio's 54 game hitting streak ended, the next day he started another 18 game streak. When it was announced that the album dropped out of the Billboard top 200, the following week it was back on and stayed in and out of there for quite a few years more. I think the total to recent times of over 1,500 weeks total, and over 40 million units sold.

I'm 67 now. The sun has raced and come up behind me many times now. I am shorter of breath and much closer to death these days no doubt. The intro into this song is truly amazing with the contrast of the bongo like drums, bass guitar and the high pitched chimes. This is the music I grew up with and enjoyed. Rock and Roll from the 60's and 70's was fantastic. It was a truly mystical time to be young. But like the song says we all got caught up in daily life and chained to responsibilities from choices we made such as starting a family and choices that were already pre-set such as a career and the expected 9 - 5 job. And time was oblivious to us and passed us by and here we are in our golden years never really believing it would ever happen to us. There were many bands that had amazing influence on daily living with dynamic lyrics and guitar play like Floyd such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and others. It was a magical musical time of creativity in music and lyrics which does not exist in todays musical artists and bands. But one thing I am sure of. Because of the infinite number of musical arrangements that can be made from 8 simple notes that we know as the scale, I believe that the greatest music ever composed hasn't even been created yet. I'm sure I will be dead and buried by that time. But I know it will be an amazing adventure for those young people who will be alive at that time. It certainly was for us back then.

If you look at the lyrics of (Time), keeping in mind, (Breathe and On The Run) , previous tracks, The first part is about a younger man, "kicking around", wasting his time, with "time to kill today". "Then one day you find 10 years have got behind you" - he never started his dreams, his life. "So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking" - trying to make up for lost time, but it's a fruitless effort..."the sun is the same in a relative way but your older" The universe marches on but he's now older, and "one day closer to death". "Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time, and plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines" - you still have those dreams, those aspirations, but now life seems to interfere or you just can no longer make the effort, and instead merely "hanging on in quiet desperation". "the time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say" he's now dying and thought he'd leave behind a better legacy than he has, but instead is leaving behind so many things unaccomplished. Don’t forget that this is the song following (Breathe and On The Run) So (Time) seems to be the result of: (Run, rabbit run, Dig that hole, forget the sun. And when at last the work is done, Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one. For long you live and high you fly, But only if you ride the tide. And balanced on the biggest wave, You race towards an early grave). And next; The Great Gig In The Sky…
