Time- (The Dark Side of the Moon Album)- IRSD®

"Time" is the fourth track from English progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, and the only song on the album credited to all four members of the band. It is noted for its long introductory passage of clocks chiming and alarms ringing, recorded as a quadrophonic test by Alan Parsons, not specifically for the album.

The song is a 'memento mori' (latin for: Remember your mortality), describing the phenomenon in which time seems to pass more quickly as one ages, often leading to despair in old age over missed opportunities of the past.

Composition
Pink Floyd performing in 2006 before a backdrop during the song "Time"Each clock at the beginning of the song was recorded separately in an antiques store. This is followed by a two-minute passage dominated by Nick Mason's drum solo, with rototoms and backgrounded by a tocking sound created by Roger Waters picking two muted strings on his bass. With David Gilmour singing lead on the verses and with Richard Wright singing lead vocals on the bridges and with female singers and David Gilmour providing backup vocals, the lyrics of the song deal with Roger Waters's realization that life was not about preparing yourself for what happens next, but about grabbing control of your own destiny.

A guitar solo from Gilmour provides the refrain over the same chord progressions as the verse and bridge. A reprise of the album's earlier "Breathe", containing a similar melody and beat, characterised by Mason's drumming and a similar vocal line, brings the song to a closing, before it segues into "The Great Gig in the Sky". When the tom drums were recorded, there were only three available so the band had to tune the drum after each hit to get the right pitch and then mix the hit into the song.[citation needed]

In January 2007, readers of the Guitar World magazine voted Gilmour's guitar solo on the song the 21st greatest guitar solo of all time.
