MUSIC TIP OF THE MONTH
Pink Floyd, “Dark Side of the Moon”
Billboard magazine is THE word on the music business: What is being requested, what is getting airplay, what is selling, what is in demand. Most songwriters would be thrilled to have a single song make it into Billborad’s top ten for just one day in their career. Superstars top the charts for 10 – 20 weeks at a time, but rarely longer. So…
…imagine that Pink Floyd’s seminal art-rock album “Dark Side of the Moon” spent more than 20 years (in a row) on Billboard’s charts! Why? Because the music, poetry, mystery and humanity of this collection of songs is timeless. Because it is relevant to every soul who ever introspected: Who wondered “What’s it all about?”, “What’s it all for?”, and “How should I react to this world?” This is an album about a powerful personal humanity which quietly yet passionately refuses to submit to the cruelty around it.
If you haven’t already, listen to this CD in a relaxed and focused state, about 10 – 20 times… and be prepared for self-enlightenment.
