no_apologiesFirst of all, I'd like to say that I'm using this account as both a personal account (my personal entries here), and a roleplay account (for my muse of Seven/707/Luciel Choi from the phone game Mystic Messenger) at my musebox comm: ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
nexus_musebox! I have upgraded my account a while ago. I made a bunch of icons for my muse. (I shrunk down this chibi animation from the game that you see into a 100x100 icon.) I'll probably make more icons for my new-ish muse later. ^^;
Secondly... I want to share something really interesting that I don't think I've shared anywhere on Dreamwidth before. I'm positive I haven't! Recently, I found my copy of a packet that I was given in my creative writing class at the high school I graduated from. This was sometime during my senior year. Each student was given a copy of this packet, listing a bunch of information about similarities and synchronizations between the old film The Wizard of Oz (with Judy Garland as Dorothy), and the Pink Floyd classic album; The Dark Side of the Moon.
I was listening to part of this album on YouTube hours earlier today, and I remembered about this paper packet! It took a little while, but I had retrieved it and shared page 2 of 6 with one of my RP friends who took genuine interest. She's a fan of Pink Floyd, and hasn't seen the movie in years lol.
I'm copying and pasting what I typed out to her on Discord. All of page 2, word for word. The first page is just all the lyrics from the Dark Side of the Moon album. This is what happens when you've taken a nostalgia trip while listening to classic rock music on YouTube. xD That, in combination of having to stay home for a couple of weeks, even though I've been tested positive for a really mild and nowhere near fatal case of the COVID-19.
The Triangle (3) "Theory"/Other Oddities
Many people claim there is a "more than coincidental" connection between the significance of triangles and the number 3 in The Wizard of Oz and The Dark Side of The Moon. Some of the evidence indicating this connection:
- There are 3 friends (that Dorothy meets) in Oz: the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion.
-There are also three witches: the Wicked Witch of the East, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.
-Dorothy has to click her heels together three times in order to return home.
-There are three sections to the movie: the beginning B&W scene in Kansas, the colorful scenes in Oz, and a return home to the B&W Kansas.
-The tornado that brings Dorothy to Oz is shaped like a triangle.
-The hats worn by the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Wicked Witch of the West are all triangular.
-The hot air balloon that was supposed to bring Dorothy back home is a triangle (sort of shaped like an ice cream cone).
-The cover of the Dark Side of the Moon album contains a prism - a triangle.
-The inner artwork for the album includes several pictures of pyramids.
-There is a heart monitor graphic in the album artwork that has three "points"
-There are nine songs (three times three) on The Dark Side of the Moon.
Other oddities include a connection between rainbows and color.
- The first song in the movie is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
- The prism on the album cover refracts light into a rainbow.
- The Wizard of Oz starts off in black and white, changes to color, and then returns to black and white.
- The original album cover art for The Dark Side of the Moon has a ray of light (no color) passing through the prism and changing into a rainbow, then wrapping around to the back of the album, where the rainbow passes back through the prism, returning to colorless light.
- The CD booklet for The Dark Side of the Moon progresses through several colors as backgrounds--in the same order as the colors of a rainbow.
- The album contains a song titled, "Any Colour You Like."
- In Oz, Dorothy and her friends encounter the horse of a different color.
- And, of course, there's the emphasis on the yellow brick road.
Other Stuff:
- In the beginning of The Wizard of Oz, three words are capitalized in the dedication--Time, Young, and Heart--when they don't begin a sentence.
-There is a song on The Dark Side of the Moon titled, "Time."
-The heartbeat graphic in the album's artwork seems to allude to his "Heart," as well as that of the Tin Man.
(I'm personally going to add the fact that the very beginning--and I think the very end--of the Dark Side of the Moon album are sounds of a human heartbeat! Why wasn't this already listed? WHY?!?)
Would anyone like to read the rest from the packet? There's about 100 synchronizations between The Wizard of Oz movie and the Dark Side of the Moon album listed on pages 3 through 6.
