You mentioned the female singer. You have to listen to The Great Gig in the Sky. You will be amazed at what she does without saying a single word!

Yes, the next song on the album. Time followed by death. Tori did a great job of describing the stages without saying a word. Amazing....

[@Rassskle]

Clare Torri only did The Great Gig......2 other ladies did all the back up vocals on the other songs. Vanetta Fields did most of the backing vocals and is probably the one who sounds a lot like Clare Torri. Vanetta Fields moved to Australia in 1982 and quickly estanlished herself as a permanent backing vocalist for all of John Farnhams live concerts....alongside Lisa Edwards and Lindsay Field

I am 54 years old, and my son got a degree in philosophy about 7 years ago. He came to the house one night while he was still in school and he was talking about having to write a thesis. In my old man wisdom, I suggested he write it on the album Darkside of the Moon. Which this particular song is from. He thought is was a decent idea and within a week he was asking me questions on my thoughts on the album. It didn't take long for him to move on from my thought and begin to really study it. It's actually very, very deep and certainly worth exploring. The thing is, Pink Floyd in this particular case, made an album. Not 10 songs as listed on the cover, but one cohesive piece of music that tells a story. Sure,... you can pluck out sections of it and enjoy it's musical prowess. But that's like reading chapter 7 in a novel. You really are not going to have any idea what's going on... Love you guys and appreciate you taking the time to actually discuss your reactions. Helps the watcher relate. Keep kicking ass!

[@PixelVibe-RGB]

In my high school English class (I am a French speaker from Quebec), I had to read an English magazine article and lead a class discussion on this article with the other students. So I chose to have the rest of the class listen to this song "Time" by Pink Floyd to initiate this discussion. Given the interest of the other students in the subject, the teacher had to give me an extra hour to continue the discussions. I received an A++ for this work. I believe the teacher was also a fan of Pink Floyd, which helped a lot.

That line "I thought I had something more to say" is definitely moving. We have all these plans when we are young about how we are going to be something and change the world and then we get to our retirement age and realized how much of those dreams never materialized.

[@steverobinson8214]

When you’re young the depth and meaning of this song goes mostly unnoticed. When you’re older it hits you like a sledgehammer!

[@warriorpitbull1170]

"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 same in a relative way but you're older; shorter of breath and one day closer to death." These are the hardest lines of sheer poetry in music, in my opinion. Getting older and trying to take back the time that we now realize we wasted, when we should have been doing those special things we wanted to accomplish in life. But time ticks on incessantly and we can't take it back no matter how hard we try. And now time has made us weaker than we were, we're not as resilient or energetic as we were as young people and our mortality is creeping up on us with every day that passes.

[@jackiegiannino6835]

Pink Floyd was always about THEIR music. The didn’t let the record companies put a time stamp on their songs. True musicians!! If it was just for the money, they would have made 3 minute songs.

Named in homage to two old black blues musicians from North Carolina, USA, "PINK" Anderson and "FLOYD" Council.

This album Topped the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart, where it has charted for 990 weeks. The album was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. It is truly one of the great albums and is designed to be listened to all the way through :) - This record was made mostly in 1972... and they were hugely ground breaking and still relevant.

"The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death" Roger Waters is one of the most acclaimed lyricists in Rock. Having just turned 80, he is very much aware over the fact that he hasn't much time left and continues to speak out loudly on causes most dear to him, particularly the Palestinian crisis as of late, and Ukraine... often taking very controversial positions. You need to check out "Us and Them" from this same album.

[@majorgruber5925]

Time is a relative thing - waiting a year for a 4 year old is waiting a quarter of their life. That same year at 60 is approaching "blink and you'll miss it." Dark Side of the Moon really is an album to be listened to, rather than pulling a song from it imo. Loved you guys' reaction!

Yes us older gentlemen know how time speeds up as we get older. Remember when we were schoolchildren how long the 2 months of summer holidays seemed and how it took forever for Christmas to come! Now It feels like a blink of the eyes for 2 months to pass on by me. Also the lyrics ''Home, home again. I like to be here when I can. When I come home cold and tired it's good to warm my bones beside the fire.'' Speaks to me as an older homebody who has gotten poorer blood circulation as I've gotten older. And it feels so good to warm my bones in front of the fireplace or a heat vent during cold Canadian days and nights.

I listened to this album quite a bit in the 70s. But I realized later I was only listening for the music. By the beginning of the 80s I learned to listen to the lyrics of Pink Floyd. That made me look at Time differently. What I got from it, I've carried deep inside me, ever since.
