Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Rainbow - Wizard of Oz

I love watching this, I've seen it about 10 times.

HERE'S THE THEORY (which I believe is true):
Pink Floyd based the COMPLETE album, Dark Side of the Moon, around the concept of an alternative audio track for the movie Wizard of Oz.

Here's how it will work for you; FORGET THE STORYLINE. Completely pretend you don't know what the movie is about. This will let you focus on the music to tell an alternative story.

Watch the facial expressions. Listen to the words, and even take note of the rhythm changes.

I firmly believe Pink Floyd recorded the whole album as they were watching a silent version of Wizard of Oz, on an old movie projector.

Even look at the album cover! Black and white, going to a rainbow.....

So anyways, here it is, in 7 parts. Once again, pretend you don't know the actual story line, and let Pink Floyd sing it to you. You will notice hundreds of things, confirming to you this is how it really happened.

I watched this once, and it really seemed to work a lot better during the first time through of the CD (but not as well during the repeat). The part with "Money" though was my favorite.

P.S. You did a great job with your post!

You should only watch it once. The sound track ends on the Tin Man's heart beating. You shouldn't watch the whole movie.

I thought it was Led Zepplein's soundtrack that matched up with this...

Watched a bit of it. Kinda cool.

Part 2 is really good to watch to confirm this.

The beginning of "Time" starts right with her on the bike, symbolizing a ringing bell on the handlebars. Then the "standoff" music, where Dorothy is talking with all three of them, the notes are right on.

That makes a lot more sense

It works a lot better when your smoking pot. :bandit2: :haha:

"Black (black black black...) and blue (blue blue blue blue...)
and who knows which is which
and who is who (is who is who is who)

Despite anything the band said otherwise, that's the point when I knew it had to be planned.

Yep.
Black - right when it's looking at the Wicked Witch
Blue - Camera on Dorothy in the blue dress

Who knows which (witch) is which....

BUMP

You're welcome. :cool2:

I thought everybody knew about this.

If you don't feel like watching the YouTube version, you can push play on the CD player on the second lion's roar at the beginning of the film on the MGM screen. The lion will roar once, then again and that's when you push play.

I love the very beginning when Auntie Emm is leaning over the chicken coop and the lyrics begin: "Breathe....Breathe in the air". :lol8:

if you continue to listen to wish you were here right DSOTM ends after it keeps going and matches :)
