"Speak to Me" is the first track from British progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, on which it forms an overture. Drummer Nick Mason receives a rare solo writing credit for the track; Roger Waters subsequently claimed this was a "gift" to Mason, one which Waters came to regret after his acrimonious departure from the band. A live version is included on Pulse.
The song itself features no lyrics (although it contains parts of the conversation tapes that Pink Floyd recorded, as well a short snippet of Clare Torry's vocal performance on "The Great Gig in the Sky"), and consists of a series of sound effects. It leads into the first performance piece on the album, "Breathe". As a result, they are usually played together on the radio, and most later re-releases merge the two songs together.
Noticeable sound and instrument effects include:

(Is there anybody here) as lonely as I am
Speak to me talk to me speak to me
Is there anybody here tired of cryin'
Speak to me talk to me speak to me
Waiter there's a stranger sitting all alone
And maybe she's got troubles like my own
So ask her if there's anything I can do
Cause I've got troubles and I'm lonely too
Is there anybody here searching for someone
Speak to me talk to me speak to me
[ guitar ]
Is there anybody here as lonely as I am
