a synchronization of Pink Floyd film and albums discovered by Kem Stone
Get the Dark Side of the Moon CD in place, press play and pause it before the first track begins. Now go ahead and put the movie in, watching the first few scenes with the father, and young Pink running across the field. After this, you see adult Pink's watch. The camera scans his arm from the watch to the burnt out cigarette in his hand. As soon as the cigarette comes on the screen, unpause the CD. If you got it right, the first chord of "Breath" should come on at the same time the first chord of "In the Flesh?" would come on. Now turn the movie's volume down, and watch.
> Right after the band sings "race towards an early grave" you see Pink's father running to the phone, where he dies as "On the Run" begins.
> The bells from "Time" ring just as Pink sees his father scream in his mind, then they subside in the church scene.
> The band sings "home, home again" as young Pink examines his father's box of bullets.
> It's candy for your eyes and ears as "The Great Gig in the Sky" plays during the animation for "Goodbye Blue Sky".
> Perhaps the most amazing coincidence -- turn the movie's volume up as Pink's teacher reads young Pink's poem, "Money". As soon as he is done reading, the first cash register sound effect comes on, and the song "Money" begins.
> The children tear down the school during the instrumental for "Money".
> As young Pink spies on the girl undressing in the window, voices say, "I certainly was in the right, etc."
> "Us and Them" is the perfect background music to the flashbacks of Pink's tragic love life. This carries into the flower animation.
> It's incredible to watch as "Any Colour You Like" plays as an answer to the questions asked by the animation for "What Shall We do Now?"
> The whores enter during the song "Brain Damage".
> Pink can feel "One of his Turns Coming On" during the song "Eclipse" and he finally bursts right before the lyrics end.
> The heartbeat sound is heard as Pink's girlfriend tries to run for cover from his tirade.
As soon as the Dark Side of the Moon CD has stopped, pause the film. Pink's girlfriend should be on the screen, hunched over with her head underneath her hands. Start the Meddle CD, and as soon as the first track begins, unpause the film again. There is nothing really to use to make sure you got it right, but there are less blatant coincidences now. You'll only miss out on a few things if you were a second or two off, but for the most part, you should just enjoy the synchronization.
> "One Of These Days" goes very well as a back-drop for the first montage of flashbacks that Pink has during "Another Brick In The Wall part 3".
> Two soft songs, "A Pillow of Winds" and "Fearless" go along with the mood of the slow scenes in Pink's apartment, and the journey through his inner child.
> When the band sings "...the magistrate turns round, frowning" the adult Pink turns around and throws the young Pink a med smile.
> In the segment of "Fearless" when the crowd sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" young Pink walks alone through a sea of people awaiting the return of their relatives who fought in the war, but Pink's father does not return.
> The seriousness of the scene in Pink's apartment where his manager and doctors try to revive him takes on an entirely different mood to the up-beat, jazzy tune of "San Tropez".
> "Seamus," the song about a pet dog play's during the flashback of Pink's pet rat, and he throws the dead rat in the river at just the right point.
> The pinging at the beginning of "Echoes" goes on as Pink is dragged down a hallway, his mind distorted from the drugs and insanity.
> The first verse of "Echoes" begins just as Pink the demagogue enters the stage at the hate rally of "In the Flesh." The lyrics end just as Pink finishes his speech.
> Fast, psychedellic rock plays as the audience dances and makes the hate symbols, as if it were choreographed to this.
> The music changes to a more steady beat as Pink's hate clan pillages and rapes, and continues on to Pink's speech for "Waiting for the Worms".
> The psychedellic screams and echoes begin during the march of the hammers, and add even more to the scene where Pink sits crazy in the corner of a bathroom stall.
> The screams give way to soft music as The Trial begins, and as it goes on, the music becomes louder and more intense, finally reachng its 18:14 climax just after the judge gives the sentence to "tear down the wall!"
> The music of the climax plays and adds an unequaled intensity to the montage of flashbacks that go on in Pink's mind after he is sentenced.
> The climax of the entire synchronization experience comes as the wall explodes on the screen at the exact second the lyrics return.
> During "Outside the Wall" the music dies down and fades off into the gentle pinging during the credits.
