Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'


I never get tired of learning more about this seminal work by one of my favorite artists of all time.

@pindac 

did you write that while you were smoking weed, or is that how chatGPT responded to a Q you asked it?

It's such a wild analysis, it almost sounds like AI, Lol.

I love how varied the responses are around here to various topics. It adds character. 

The AA group I got sober at 33 years ago supposedly attracts guys from jail to Yale and everything in between. And that's probably the #1 thing that makes it such a fun and interesting group to hang out with. 

I think the same thing could be said for our group. 

Party on!  

 

@tunefuldude Watch the Posted Youtube Clip of the 'Barn Jams' Session, is plenty enough to get the vibe of the Post,  stating: 

" The Pink Floyd Band in all its forms and as Solo Artists make very listenable music, the collaborations that have been created with other performers/musicians are to the highest standards. All the above are totally to my tastes."

There are endless Sessions to be found where Vocals are not used by Musicians involved with Pink Floyd.

If you found the content of my Post, Amusing , Confusing, it is fine by myself, I have a hook for such a thing.

Interesting how you have a chronological record of the first time you walked in a particular room with a particular group of individuals.

It's all Harmless and Healthy, " Live and Let Live " is a good guidance.

As a retired analytically trained psychiatrist, addictionist,  the analysis of someone’s work is often more about projection of one’s own conflicts into the music, not really dealing with the artist unless of course one has done a thorough examination in the proper setting.  
Having said that, my favorite “analysis” is Hotel California by the Eagles.  But, if you have never shot up an opiate, you really are not in a position to guess.  There is a lot of great music, and some of the greatest was created while using mood altering drugs.

DSOTM has had the a$$ played out of it, even WYWH is jaded. I prefer Ummagumma these days.

@msmoto80 Out of all I have read on this forum, the wording for the reference made to participate in self abuse, as an attempt to create a synthetic state of reality, has been the most discomforting to see put into text.

The whole concept of it seems quite traumatic.
