A Mad Tea Party – Intro N° 10 – Machine

“Welcome to the Machine” is a track from Pink Floyd’s 1975 album “Wish You Were Here.” The song serves as a critique of the music industry and the societal pressures that shape individuals into conforming entities. Musically, it features a haunting and futuristic soundscape, characterized by synthesizers and heavy effects, which enhances the dystopian feel of the lyrics. The mechanical sounds and the robotic voice used in the song amplify its themes of dehumanization and alienation. “Welcome to the Machine” is often interpreted as a reflection of the band’s disillusionment with the commercialization of music and the loss of artistic integrity, themes that resonate throughout the album.
