Speak to Me (Mason) 1:16 Show Long you live and high you fly Breathe, breathe in the air. For long you live and high you fly Ken from Castle Rock has a good interpretation that sounds very plausible. The one I have stuck with all these years is similar to John of Mount Kisco. Once, my brother told me his interpretation, and I thought it was very appropriate. It begins like John's, but the man does indeed catch the plane and perishes. He was desperate to catch the plane only to end up dying. Had he accepted fate, and not been determined to force his will on the situation and let the plane depart without him, he would have lived. It seems to fit the last line of "Breath" and the theme of "Time." That said, I would like to think that John was right and that the man missed the flight. By the way, my brother's interpretation reminds me of a reportedly true story of a man who gave up his seat on PSA Flight 182 as it left from Sacramento to San Diego, California in 1978 because he was not in a rush to get home. The woman who took his seat was very grateful (I think she had missed an earlier flight). The plane crashed as it approached San Diego's airport, killing all on board. I remember seeing, from my school, the smoke rising from the suburban area where it came down. My father also could have been on the flight, as he was supposed to be at a business meeting in Sacramento, but chose not to attend. Some of the passengers were his coworkers who had been at the meeting. *Man runs for a plane only to miss it, he get's to the gate windows in time to see the flight crash during take-off.* I agree, a great lead in to the song time, that talks about how we choose to spend the time we have. I always thought the whole album was about the human experience, about what we decide to do with our lives before the great gig in the sky. Thanks for the "Live for today, gone tomorrow that's me." The unfortunate dream continues with the protagonist on the airplane flying, and of course, the protagonist is very uneasy with this event. And at the end of the song, the plane then crashes. At 27 seconds into the piece, the sound of a female voice on a loudspeaker can be heard; apparently an airport public address system. She is saying, "Have your baggage and passport ready and then follow the green line to customs and immigration. BEA flight 215 to Rome, ? and Lagos" It deals with insanity, the man who says "Live today, gone tomorrow, that's me" goes back to how if you are "balanced on the biggest wave you race towards an early grave" and how being a non conformist will allow you no advancement in this world. The attendant, cars, airplanes, and gunfire are all just examples of how much danger exists in our world for the sake of technology... not quite worth it if you look at the numbers and what it has done to the minds of people. I believe the footsteps, going left to right in speakers, are a method of conveying an attempted mental escape, that you are "on the run" in your mind, so to speak, with your desire to be the individual that you are despite the world around you which disallows you to be so. Listen to this song with headphones to feel the entire effect. taquitos! I think Tyler from Petaluma's comment on Rent demontrates the theory of synchronicity. 1) first, you have to press play exactly when you hear the first piano chord in the "Seassons of Love" song, then mute the TV 2) during Speak to me, as the camera pans the cast on the film, the sound effects get more and more intense until finally when the camera reaches Mark Breath starts 3) during the line "the high you fly" Joanne is raising her hand 4) On the Run starts at the same time as RENT starts in the film. Remember in the film after seassons of love where we are seeing Marks footage, and you know how the film transistions to film footage to the actual movie as the drums of "Rent" start? Thats the exact moment that "On the Run" starts, it actually kind of freaked me out. 4) On the Run provides the perfect soundtrack for the chaotic "Rent" sequence 5) as the music dies down the the thunder clashes, the camera pans widely over the village for a long shot of all the burning eviction notices 6) The ticking clocks and chimes of Time begin about when Benny arrives (ticking time as a sign of overdue rent) 7) Time is played throughout the song "You'll see" agian, time could represent wasted time trying to get the rent paid 8) Great Gig plays during "On Song Glory" which is perfect considering both songs are about a fear of death 9) The cash registers of Money start about the same time Mimi enters and "Light my Candle" begins 10) Us and Them plays during "Today 4U" while it might not sound right for such an upbeat song, trust me, it works. The lyrics could also be saying the sepperation between Angel and Collins and Mark and Roger 11) Any Colour plays during Tango, which is appropriate for the films only dream sequence 12) Brain Damage plays during the life support meeting, during the line "The lunatic is in the hall" you see Mark passing the hall to get to the meeting. During the line "The lunatic is in my head" you see Gordon being apprehensive about Mark filming him. The song could also relate to the fear of AIDS messing with the peoples brains, brain damage 13) Elcipse starts as we see the outside of the Catscratch club and ends as Mimi exits, the line "there is no dark side of the moon really" occurs when Mimi is walking back to the loft (a shot of the moon in the background) I seriously reccomend trying it, its not as strong as the Wizard of Oz, but its deffaintly interesting, to say the least. 1) as the song fades out, the sounds of crashing thunder can be heard as a shot of the clouds breaking appears on the film 2) the ticking clocks and chimes of "Time" start right when you see Miss Gultch on her bicycle. What are the notes for on the run sequence?The 8 note sequence ( E, G, A, G on octave below Middle C, and D, middle C, D, E on Middle C octave) is played at a tempo of 165, and modulates upwards occasionally. Near the end we hear an explosion which gradually gets quieter, leading up to the chiming clocks marking the intro of 'Time'.
How did Pink Floyd record on the run?Composition. This piece was created by entering an 8-note sequence into a Synthi AKS synthesiser made by the British synthesiser manufacturer EMS and speeding it up, with an added white noise generator creating the hi-hat sound.
Is there a song by Pink Floyd called Dark Side of the Moon?Dan Epstein. There are hit albums, and then there's Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd's eternally popular song cycle has sold more than 15 million copies in the U.S. since its release on March 1st, 1973, and more than 45 million units worldwide.
