Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Under Barrett's leadership, they released two charting singles and the successful debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the band's peak success with the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979). The musical film based on The Wall, Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982), won two BAFTA Awards. Pink Floyd also composed several film scores.
Following personal tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985. Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd, rejoined later by Wright. They produced two more albums—A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994)—and toured in support of both before entering a long hiatus. In 2005, all but Barrett reunited for a one-off performance at the global awareness event Live 8. Barrett died in 2006, and Wright in 2008. The last Pink Floyd studio album, The Endless River (2014), was based on unreleased material from the Division Bell recording sessions. In 2022, Gilmour and Mason reformed Pink Floyd to release the song "Hey, Hey, Rise Up!" in protest of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
By 2013, Pink Floyd had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and these albums and Wish You Were Here are among the best-selling albums of all time. Four Pink Floyd albums topped the US Billboard 200, and five topped the UK Album Chart. Pink Floyd's hit singles include "See Emily Play" (1967), "Money" (1973), "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" (1979), "Not Now John" (1983), "On the Turning Away" (1987) and "High Hopes" (1994). They were inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2008, Pink Floyd were awarded the Polar Music Prize in Sweden for their contribution to modern music.

Pink Floyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
The lyrics of Pink Floyd's song "Eclipse" are a powerful reminder that everything we do in life, every action we take, every experience we have, leaves a mark in the world. The song echoes the ancient concept of karma, where every thought and action creates ripples in the universe, and where the sum of these ripples, over time, shapes our destiny. The song lists many opposites, such as love and hate, inspire and destroy, good and bad, creating a contrast between light and dark.
The song also alludes to the profound relationship between the sun and the moon, where the sun symbolizes life and the moon signifies death. In the final lines, the song culminates in the phrase, "the sun is eclipsed by the moon," a metaphor for the ultimate struggle between life and death, creation and destruction. The song's chorus, "everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon," encompasses the idea that all things are interconnected, and even though the natural order seems predictable, unexpected twists can happen.
Pink Floyd's song, "Eclipse," is a masterpiece of simplicity and depth. The song is a fitting finale to the album, "The Dark Side of the Moon," as it elegantly ties together the record's themes of loss, madness, greed, and hope. The song's poetry is timeless and has become an anthem of sorts for generations of listeners. "Eclipse" is a reflection on the human experience that speaks to people on a primal level.
