I absolutely adore Pink Floyd and this version is such a tribute while being original.......Stunning! This band never disappoints xx

[@weststreetdrive4622]

Pink Floyd are pretty hard to pull off but you guys absolutely nailed it with this one!

[@dcent3]

Im a long time die hard pink floyd fan and I find it hard to love a lot of cover versions. These guys brought so much original floyd flavour, restrained themselves and kept it all close to the originals but still brought their own character. Its a great homage to Pink Floyd and a great display of talent. Lets get some more!

[@sgtjonzo]

Need a full cover of breathe 👌

[@edelinac358]

Ocean Alley is such an underrated band. I am looking forward to when they can tour the states again.

[@mattfrank1796]

Tom O'Brian is the hero here. He just nails the not so easy to play groove that is Money. It is not in 4/4 but he makes it groove like it is. In. The. Pocket. Tom gives this band it's undeniably perfect groove. So yeah, hats off for Tom!

[@ianmontgomery7534]

Like a Version must be the most marvellous radio segment in the world. Hear new favourites cover old favourites. Ocean Alley /pink Floyd. Genius.

[@tjkerr1426]

My mum passed away from breast cancer 9 years ago, but before she passed a core memory of mine as a kid was when we would drive around the town, with all the windows down at 12 in the morning and absolutely blast Pink Floyd, especially Money, it was her favourite song along with Wish You Were Here. The feeling of the cold air on my face and her singing next to me was always so bliss to me. I absolutely loved this Like A version. Thank You.

[@wb2463]

It's a brave man who covers Pink Floyd, and a braver man yet who tries to make a Pink Floyd song his own. But these guys were a very pleasant surprise; faithful to originals in the production, but with enough of their own swagger and vibe to make it something new as well. Very, very well done!

[@greydelta38]

Woooow. Super impressed. Diehard Floyd fan, and just started listening to Ocean Alley. Imagine my surprise running across this gem. Fine work lads.

What a beautiful series of covers and progresive medolies. Respects the originals but brings some new flare to the songs. The vocals and harmony are spot on too in breathe. I've watched it a few times again already and the lyrics are spot on, I almost cried. There will be some people here who've never heard these songs in their original form, this will be a treat for them now. Bravo. New fan

I'm one of those fans of Pink Floyd that thinks their music is sacred and extremely difficult for anyones covers to impress me. With that being said, I was pleasantly impressed. This was really really good. This is not a complaint about how you guys did it, but my only wish was I would've liked to hear everyone harmonize the entirety of breathe. The parts you guys did that way sounded spectacular. Great job guys

Does anyone else find it funny that the descending line in "Money" is the same that the Wiggles sang when they just covered Elephant?

[@BBRRiiAANN]

you mean that the descending line in Money is the same as the descending line in Elephant?.. The Wiggles did their little Fruit Salad mashup but they didn’t play the rest of the song any differently, that’s in the original song. Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) is definitely a fan of Floyd so i’m sure it was either a nod to them, or either a conscious/unconscious decision to have it in there.

[@lukecrummy8833]

Think tame Impala got sued by pink Floyd for the similarity. Heard Kevin and Jay mention it in an interview one time

[@fabiangunnarson4855]

@@lukecrummy8833 Do you have a source to back that up? I had not heard that there was a lawsuit involved.

[@lawesc7470]

They're very slightly different. The Pink Floyd one starts on the octave and descends down the minor scale with that flat 2 added in. The Tame Impala one starts from the seventh and descends hitting both a sharp 6and a flat 2. But I'm certain Kevin Parker was inspired by the descending line in Money. Definitely not suable tho imo. Neither of them invented an 8 bar descending scale.
