Pink Floyd - 'Time' Reaction! Steady Passage of Time! Philosophical depth and Innovative production

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!

[@thepragmatic6383]

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.

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!

[@ladyjane8855]

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

[@waynedwyer6509]

If you do Great Gig make sure it's the album version and not the live version with multiple singers. They do a good job but not like Tori on the album.

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.

[@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. They love long intros to build up their songs. Say what you will but this album is 51 years old. It’s been on the top albums of all time for over 20 years.

[@jjh5374]

“This song has me depressed!” 😂 For real though! The lyrics hit hard, especially the older you get. The line that gets me every time is, “No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun”

[@boosuedon]

Named in homage to two old black blues musicians from North Carolina, USA, "PINK" Anderson and "FLOYD" Council. The band was drawn to their raw blues sound and initially called themselves "The Pink Floyd Sound" sometime later shortening to just "Pink Floyd". They are the cerebral band of rock! No other band like them!

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.

[@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.

Time. I've always thought of it like this When you're 5, a year is 1\5 of your life. You're just getting into memory and the realization or concept of time passing. Christmas seems to have entire lifetimes between them. At 50, a year is 1\50 of your life. Years feel more and more like they fly by.

There is no group like Pink Floyd. When Dark Side of the Moon was released I worked on my high school newspaper. The first issue we put out my senior year, I did a review of this album.

Midnight and noon sounded like the opening of this song. This beautiful song has been clocking my entire existence. When it first came out on the radio, I was a kid in the back seat of some classic Detroit steel. Over the decades, my changing perspectives continued to resonate with it. It is timeless art.
