It’s that time of year again. Once again Irreal pays tribute to the greatest album of all time: The Dark Side of the Moon. It’s no secret that we here at Irreal are serious fans of Pink Floyd and their music. As I write this, it occurs to me that at 52, Dark Side of the Moon is older than many Irreal readers and in some cases older than their parents. It’s a tribute to the album that its appeal has lasted so long.
Every year I link to one of their songs that I really like. Originally, those songs were all from Dark Side of the Moon but lately I’ve been including songs from their other albums. This year I invite you to enjoy One Slip from the A Momentary Lapse of Reason album. That album gets its name from a line in One Slip.
It’s a mysterious song that reminds me of Procol Harum’s A Whiter Shade of Pale. In both songs it’s never entirely clear what the song is actually about. Here for your enjoyment is One Slip.
