Dark Side of The Rainbow

Although, I have been a fan of Pink
Floyd for some time now and have briefly touched base with the synchronization
of this story over the years. I found that there were some interesting aspects
about it that I never realized until reading this article. For instance, how
the albums; cover can be viewed as having two different meanings or when the
song “Brain Damage” plays, it synchronizes with the scarecrow signing about
wishing he had a brain. It was interesting to see this first hand as I fast
forward to the scene of the scarecrow dancing around the yellow brick road, as
Pink Floyd’s lyrics of a person loosing their mind. I believe that this story
earned a spot on a Wikipedia page is, partially because it compares a famous
rock band from the early 70’s to that of a film from the late 30’s. I also
believe that it earned its fame, for the simple fact that it synchronizes, not
only visually but musically as well. Coincidence or not, the album synchronizes
so well, one could almost say that the music had been a reflection of the film
and written specifically for the film. Due to this being such an odd topic and
the fact that both, The Wizard of Oz
and Pink Floyd are so popular I do
not see it being difficult to find information about this anywhere else. Typing
both of these names together in a web browser will definitely provide the same,
if not more insight about this story. Either through videos, that actually play
the recorded synchronization or other websites that dive deeper into how this
idea was started. I found these ideas to this story to be quite useful because,
it makes the viewer think in a non-traditional way or look at something in a
different perspective. As a visual artist myself, I am constantly trying to
think of different ways to get my viewers to look at my work.
