2nd Part First Draft

The Dark Side of the Moon synchronization with The Wizard of Oz begins with screaming as we see the Director and Producers names. The screaming possibly reffering to the abuse of Judy Garland at the hands of these two men. The first track is “Speak to Me.” In here we hear “I've been over the edge for yonks… I've always been mad, I know I've been mad.” A possible reference to Judy Garlands mental state? Other than that the track is virtually unspoken. It leads into the next track called “Breathe.” When looking at these tracks next to each other you see Speak to Me, Breathe! Almost as if that’s what you would say to someone you found overdosing. In “Breathe” we hear “look around and choose your own ground.” This could be a reference to the fact that it took over a year before Judy Garland had a proper burial. Garlands body was kept in a temporary crypt until the story broke. Arrangements were made quickly after so the family could avoid anymore shame and embarrassment. When he track ends we come into “On The Run.” The whole song in unspoken, however we can still draw that “On The Run” plays while Dorothy is singing the famous song, from the Wizard Of Oz, “Over The Rainbow.” Both of these songs have the same abbreviation: “OTR.” “On The Run” ends with the camera pointing to a cloudy sky while we hear thunder foreshadowing a storm. The soon to be “wicked witch” enters to the sound of bells in “Time.” Moments later, inside the house, Dorothy exchanges looks with her mother and the witch on cue with the guitar picks for the most part. After this confrontation Dorothy runs away and into a sign that seems to refer to time: “Past, Present and Future.” When Dorothy begins to have her fortune told to her she has a look of concern on her face. Dorothy begins to listen hard when we hear the lyrics ““Home, home again, I like to be here when I can”.”
Now as “The Great Gig in the Sky” begins, the tornado is approaching the home that Dorothy is running back to. The camera angles start changing to the cue of the music as the singer stresses to the panic of Dorothy. As Dorothy is hit in the head, drops on her bed, and goes unconscious the singing, by Clare Torry, drops its stress and becomes dream like. The singing fades in and out, screeching high when images of the witch appear and low again when she fades out. Could this “Great Gig in the Sky” refer to the house or tornado, or maybe even the combination of both in the sky? The house finally lands and there is now silence. Dorothy walks to the front door and as she opens it we hear cash registers and chimes as well as see color for the first time! The first three lines of the song are: “Money, get away – Get a good job with a good pay and you're okay – Money, it’s a gag.” Seeing as the first three lines of this song spell out MGM, perhaps this is a shot at MGM. MGM , who began giving Garland drugs at the age of 16, never paid Garland a cent after the movie was released. While MGM continues to make money off of The Wizard of Oz, Garland never received one cent royalty after her pay for making the movie. Judy was penniless for the rest of her life. The IRS seized most of Judy’s property and possessions due to back taxes she could not pay. Other than the blame of MGM in the song there are numerous syncs. There are rumors that the munchkins, who marched out of step but could dance on beat to the guitar solo, were drunk. So at the end of the song “Money” we hear someone say: ““I don't know, I was really drunk at the time.”
