Not interesting enough to do all the work myself sometime, but still interesting. I won’t give anything away, but I did find it very interesting.
PINK FLOYD WIZARD OF OZ MOVIE
The other thing I found interesting is that you CAN sit and watch the entire movie for the next hour and 45 minutes, or you can do like I did the first time and just skip ahead to see how the music and the movie sync it. I will note that they stripped out the movie soundtrack and dialogue, but you’ve probably seen “Wizard of Oz” enough times you know what the scenes are about. But thanks to the Internet, I don’t have to go to all that trouble! Someone has done all the work for us and posted it to YouTube! Some guy has produced “The Dark Side of the Rainbow” in one of the wildest mashups imaginable. Call me lazy, but while the idea intrigued me (and apparently appeals to a LOT of people who get stoned and listen to classic rock at the same time they watch old movies) I just never get around to it. Bless the person whoever thought of this idea.So, who hasn’t heard that there’s an eerie coincident between the 1939 classic film “The Wizard of Oz” and Pink Floyd’s classic album “Dark Side of the Moon?” That if you start the album at just the right place all sorts of movie scenes and musical cues line up?Īnd yet, like many of you, I’ve been too lazy to actually get a copy of both productions at the same time and test it out for myself.

Timeless experiences that while brought together feel even more powerful than they ever were. Somehow the innocence is lost, we feel as if watching a grown up Dorothy facing the life obstacles in a strange land. It's really incredible that such music and lyrics, in a way, seem to hold together with this classical film. It closes with Tin Man's appearance to the sound of "Eclipse" cause the album is just 43 minutes long. The outstanding "Brain Damage" with its remarkable opening line "The lunatic is on the grass" has Ray Bolger's Scarecrow doing funny things and falling on the ground, not necessarily on the grass.

The colors mentioned in "Us and Them" fit exactly with some of the ones featured during the exchange between Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West. Can't leave behind the yellow brick road which pops in exactly when Dorothy walks on it for the first time, and the track played? "Money". It was perfection, couldn't resist to tear up a bit. My favorite segment was definitely "The Great Gig in the Sky" played with a great sense of timing during the tornado that takes Dorothy and Toto to Oz. Instead of deeply exploring what I gathered with the junction, I leave those to you and just describe some of the great moments this union has to share. Dorothy Gale's colorful journey to the magnificent Oz is about to become a little darker. If you already know the movie, then you'll just watch this as if watching a classic from the silent era, with no dialogs and with the only voices heard being of David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Gerry O'Driscoll, Henry McCullough and Clare Torry accompanied by the wonderful instruments of the fore-mentioned guys, Nick Mason and Roger Waters. Under the microscope, the movie and the music reflects on the many aspects of life like conflict, struggle, greed, the need for something. Somehow, the marriage between both medias is like made in heaven and seems completely relevant, taking both works into a different and unimaginable new level. The rumor concerning the band's music being a perfect match to Victor Fleming's picture started to spread in the late 1990's in music forums - Floyd's members always denied such conception, unthinkable and unpractical to be executed in the 1970's. Whoever the crazy or the genius who had plenty of time on his hands, patience and grace to ever come up with this idea, deserves to get an award for simply putting together two of the greatest artistic icons of the 20th century: the movie "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) and Pink Floyd's album "The Dark Side of the Moon" (1973).
