“With. Without. And who’d deny it’s what the fighting’s all about?” Us & Them – Pink Floyd – “Full-Biden” Tempo charts, maps and explanation of the speed of a rock masterpiece.
Pink Floyd recorded one of the most famous “concept” albums of all-time: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
On the album, a song called Us And Them examines war and group-think and violence yet stops from actually preaching. Instead, we are gracefully told in music and lyrics about the futility of war.
