Speak to Me

"Speak to Me" is the first track by British progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, on which it forms an overture.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.

Composition

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.

Sound effects

Noticeable sound and instrument effects include:

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and musically influential groups in the history of popular music.

Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by students Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. They gained popularity performing in London's underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett's leadership released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). David Gilmour joined as a fifth member in December 1967; Barrett left the band in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the band's primary lyricist and, by the mid-1970s, their dominant songwriter, devising the concepts behind their critically and commercially successful albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983). The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall became two of the best-selling albums of all time.

I the Mighty

I the Mighty is an American alternative rock band based out of San Francisco, California, United States, formed in 2007. As of 2015, the band has released three EPs and two studio albums. Their debut, Satori, peaked at #10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Charts.

History

Formation

Formed in 2007, the band began while vocalist Brent Walsh and Ian Pedigo were still in high school together. The two taught themselves how to play guitar, and then started writing songs together as a two-man acoustic project, Breakpoint. Five years prior to the band's formation, the two met Chris Hinkley while he was playing with another band. The three then began to practice acoustic songs that Walsh and Pedigo had penned. Blake Dahlinger saw the trio performing at the Retox Lounge and asked the group if they needed a drummer. The band turned into a quartet, and changed their name due to copyright issues.

Early Work (2008-2011)

In their early years, Dahlinger and Hinkley simply wrote their parts to the existing songs that had already been written. The band released their first two EPs, I the Mighty and Hearts and Spades, in 2008 and 2010 respectively. Their self-titled EP is more acoustic and melodic than their more recent efforts. Regardless, the group caught the attention of Brad Wiseman, a booking agent for Equal Vision Records. The band were interested in him becoming their agent, and passed along early demos of Cutting Room Floor and Escalators. The label sent the head of A&R out to see one of the band's shows in LA. They were signed to the label in 2011.
