Isn't "Money" just a load of Rubbish?

Hicks · #**106** 09-09-2002, 05:26 PM

I was going to start a thread like this for "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", but i changed my mind, after all PF never made something deserving the title of Rubbish.

Except Quicksilver maybe, that really annoys me...

Btw, what's up Piper, which html trick you wanted to (and could not) use?

Piper@Gates · #**111** 09-09-2002, 06:06 PM

Hmmm...both http links AND image attachments should work, unless I misunderstand the problem. See examples below.

Btw, if the man said "damn" it's damn. None of that slum prudery here, thanks.

Bride of a Bull · #**114** 09-09-2002, 07:17 PM

Yes.

Always a pleasure, never a chore.

I've never been particularly fond of Money. I heard it many times "out of context" on the radio long before I got into Floyd. It never made me want to hear more. I'm annoyed by the long stretch in the"live" versions (DSoT & PULSE) where Dave has the extended bass riffs, the singing girls "ooh-oohing", etc. Too much dead space inviting the drunks in the crowd to yell & whistle.
But this is all relative, of course, it's still a helluva lot better than the Vines.

"Money"s cool - tho my family dont think so anymore - i borrowed my bf's bass & played it loud over & over this is a family photo taken immediately after:

Okay, okay, to clear up the subject on this, I'm gonna give my opinion on the song. The subject of this topic is that Money does not fit into the concept of Dark Side Of The Moon. Well, this can be said as true, however, false as well.

Currently, I am writing a short, and quick(yet detailed) transcription of my interpretation of this album. Money, to sum it up, is basically adding onto the story of all of life's problems, which I think is what Dark Side Of The Moon is all about, or life in general; as it starts off building onto a heartbeat(which actually carries through the whole album if you listen closely, not counting the drop between side 1 and 2), and ends with a die-out, as if to symbolize life passing away, like death. So if it carries through the whole album, it's like the album would almost represent life, and Time and Money are two key factors that people worry about throughout life, so really, if you follow this opinion/interpretation(which I do, obviously), Money can actually fit pretty well onto the album.

Now, if you're talking about music wise, I agree with the earlier comments stating that it picks you up from the pause between side 1 and 2, from a slowed down pause/end(of LP), it needs to bring you back up that this album is really upbeat, and will get you to listen to it.

Those are my comments, have fun with them
