“Ticking away……. The voice had been there all along,” Rogers said in a release. “Hidden in the stones in the rivers. Hidden in all the books. Hidden in plain sight. It was the voice of reason. Thought I’d something more to say………”
Waters also dropped a new version of “Money” on July 21. The song will also be featured on the upcoming redux album. During the time of the release of the new version of “Money,” Waters also shared a statement discussing the decision to release a reimagined version of Dark Side of the Moon.
“The original Dark Side of the Moon feels in some ways like the lament of an elder being on the human condition. But Dave, Rick, Nick, and I were so young when we made it, and when you look at the world around us, clearly the message hasn’t stuck,” Waters said. “That’s why I started to consider what the wisdom of an 80-year-old could bring to a reimagined version.
“When I first mentioned the idea of re-recording The Dark Side of the Moon to Gus and Sean, we all thought I was mad, but the more we considered it, the more we thought, ‘Isn’t that the whole point?’” Waters continued. “I’m immensely proud of what we have created, a work that can sit proudly alongside the original, hand-in-hand across a half-century of time.”
