The Witch Daughter In the ancient and mystical town of Salem, there lived a young girl named Emma. Emma was the daughter of a powerful witch, Rosalind. Growing up, Emma was surrounded by magic and witnessed her mother's incredible powers. But unlike her magical mother, Emma struggled to find her own abilities. She felt overshadowed by her mother's achievements and longed to prove herself as a true witch. As Emma grew older, she became determined to unlock her own magical potential.
As Emma grew older, she became determined to unlock her own magical potential. She spent hours studying spellbooks, practicing incantations, and experimenting with potion brewing. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to manifest any magical abilities.
Does this not all but prove The Dark Side of the Moon is in fact a secret soundtrack for The Wizard of Oz?
P·U·L·S·E is a live album that was released in May '95, which contains a complete live version of The Dark Side of the Moon. Hidden on the cover are references to The Wizard of Oz.

Pink Floyd thus blatantly linked The Dark Side of the Moon to The Wizard of Oz. And it doesn't appear that they were simply trolling fans. Here's why.
The first time the rumor of the synchronization got any attention from the press was in August '95, when the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette published an article about it . They reported:
In April [1995], someone posted about it on the Internet Pink Floyd newsgroup, saying he or she'd heard about it from "some people down in Los Angeles." Most users told the poster to go back to his drugs. And a recent posting on the alt.music.pink-floyd newsgroup asking for help in the mystery produced no clues to the origin of the oddity.
Why would Pink Floyd plant easter eggs on the P·U·L·S·E album cover referencing this phenomenon, only a month after it was first brought up online and not taken seriously? This theory did not have any traction in May '95 when P·U·L·S·E was released.
Then consider that it wasn't until '97 that a member of Pink Floyd went on record denying the connection, when Nick Mason said:
It's absolute nonsense. It has nothing to do with The Wizard of Oz. It was all based on The Sound of Music.
The Sound of Music is a film about a woman who heals a family through the love of music. So Nick Mason's denial here is somewhat sarcastic, but not nearly as sarcastic as what David Gilmour said in 2005 when asked about it:
some guy with too much time on his hands had this idea
'Time' is a song on The Dark Side of the Moon, so as a guitarist Gilmour is in fact 'some guy with too much Time on his hands'.
Now consider Alan Parsons, who in 2018 pointed out that VHS hadn't been invented in '72 when they were producing the album. This is obfuscation, as there were other ways to watch film back then, like VERA and quadruplex, so there was the means available. In fact, Pink Floyd worked on soundtrack albums before this, such as Obscured by Clouds, and their process is described :
As they had done on More, the band saw a rough cut of the film and noted certain timings for cues with a stopwatch. From this, they created a number of pieces that they felt could be cross-faded at various points in the final cut of the film.
So despite what Alan Parsons said, they did have the technical ability and experience to create a soundtrack album.
People I've spoken to think that because they've denied it, it can't be true. but what if Pink Floyd is using deception as an artform? Pink Floyd explores a lot of social and political themes, and so it would be consistent with the activism inherent in their body of work to use their music to show how easy it is to get away with lying. Governments and powerful individuals frequently lie, and we know by the success of the entertainment industry that humans can be quite adept at pretending. This phenomenon shows how easy it is to be gullible, when we admire those misleading us.
There are just too many "coincidences" for this not to be true. Besides all the ways the film and soundtrack line up (I recommend trying it yourself, but Goldmine Magazine also wrote about it here and I've outlined some of the evidence on my website here ), consider the symbolism of The Dark Side of the Moon itself.
The moon's dark side represents knowledge that was hidden from mankind, until we cooperated to advance our knowledge and technology to give ourselves a glimpse. The dark side of the moon isn't even literally dark (most of the time), it was just hidden until we found the proper motivation to see it. Information that is kept in the dark isn't necessarily 'bad', and similarly this truth about Pink Floyd's iconic album and the lies they've told to hide it has a purpose beyond just trolling fans. I look around and see a world of conflict, division, and despair, mingled with too few beautiful creations and insincere attempts at peace and unity. Now more than ever, mankind needs to explore our individual and collective dark sides, to discover the good and bad below the surface, which includes mankind's capacity for deception. and hopefully, our capacity to grow towards something better.
Pink Floyd has given us a timeless gift of supernal beauty. I hope you can see it, and that it inspires you as much as it has been a Promethean flame for myself.

Emma's frustration grew, and she wondered if she would ever live up to her mother's legacy. One fateful night, a glowing shooting star streaked across the sky and Emma made a wish. She closed her eyes tightly and wished with all her heart to become a powerful witch like her mother. Little did she know, her wish was heard by a mischievous and ancient magical being named Azazel. Azazel, intrigued by Emma's determination, decided to grant her wish but with a catch. Emma would indeed become a powerful witch, but she would also inherit a dark and ancestral curse. Unaware of the consequences, Emma awoke the next morning to find herself with incredible magical abilities. Her spells were now more potent than ever before, and her potions brewed with unmatched precision. Despite her newfound powers, Emma soon realized the price she had paid. The curse that came with her abilities was slowly corrupting her soul, turning her towards darkness. Dark desires and thoughts started to consume Emma's mind, leading her down a treacherous path. She became more powerful by the day, but at the cost of her humanity. As Emma's descent into darkness continued, her mother Rosalind grew worried. She could sense the curse eating away at her daughter's soul. Determined to save Emma, Rosalind embarked on a quest to find a way to break the curse and bring her daughter back from the brink. The journey was fraught with danger and challenges, but Rosalind persevered in her love for her daughter. She sought the help of wise sages, battled mythical creatures, and delved into ancient texts. Finally, after years of searching, Rosalind discovered a hidden ritual that could break the curse. Returning home, Rosalind confronted Emma and explained the dire consequences of her actions. Emma, filled with remorse and guilt, agreed to undergo the ritual to break the curse. With Rosalind's guidance, Emma channeled her remaining goodness and strength to break free from the grip of darkness. The ritual was successful, and Emma felt the curse lift from her soul. She was once again the daughter of a powerful witch, but this time she had learned the true value of her abilities. Gradually, Emma began using her powers for good, helping the townspeople and creating harmony in Salem. The story of Emma, the witch daughter, serves as a reminder that power must always be tempered with goodness and humility. It is not the strength of one's magic that defines them, but the way they use it to bring light and love into the world. And through hardship and sacrifice, Emma had learned the true essence of being a witch..
