About This Track

Money is a song from British progressive rock band Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon. It is the only song on the album to hit the top 20 in the United States charts. On the original LP, it opened the second side of the album. It was written by Roger Waters. The guitar solo is ranked number 62 on Guitar World’s “100 Greatest Guitar Solos”.

“Money” is notable for its introductory passage of cash registers dinging and coins clinking, much like “Time”. However, unlike “Time”, the ‘money’ sounds were recorded specifically for the album, and are featured in a 7/4 beat rhythm.

“Money”, a riff-driven song, is notable for the unusual 7 beat time signature. The song is also notable for its dramatic change to 4/4 time for an extended guitar solo, after which the song returns to 7/8, then ends in 4/4. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour suggested the change in time signature was likely introduced to make things a little easier for him.

    I loved the part in the movie "the wall" when the teacher made fun of Pink's poem. Of course it was the lyrics to Money!

    Just in love with the guitar solo. Not as emotional as the one in Comfortably Numb, but it's way more badass.

    OMG : my eyes can't read these anymore ! People spit on this song just because it became the smash hit of TDSOTM !? Just read the lyrics, the change of time, the amazing work of Nick on drums and of Dave on guitar ( one of his best guitar solo ) and don't talking about of the unique of his kind bass riff ! And do you still talk about of shitty song ?! hahaha : poor idiot.
