David Gilmour Denies Dark Side of Rainbow Theory

During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, David Gilmour addressed the long-standing theory that Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon was intentionally synchronized with the film The Wizard of Oz. Gilmour humorously acknowledged the idea, stating he and his wife had tried it and experienced 'strange coincidences'. However, he firmly denied any intentional connection, emphasizing that he learned about the theory long after the album's release. This urban myth, dating back to a 1995 article, suggests that certain lyrics and moments in the album match key scenes in the movie, but Gilmour and other band members have consistently refuted this claim. He also performed a new song from his album Luck and Strange during the show, showcasing his continued musical endeavors. Gilmour's comments reflect a mix of acknowledgment of fan enthusiasm and a clear disassociation from the myth.
