Pink Floyd's Echoes Mistaken for Phantom of the Opera
Original: That feeling when you’re playing Pink Floyd’s Echoes as your post-run chill out and your wife is like “uh, is that Phant
A runner put on Pink Floyd's 23-minute epic 'Echoes' to unwind after exercising, only for his wife to ask whether it was music from Phantom of the Opera. The mix-up is amusing because the slow, atmospheric build of 'Echoes' does echo the gothic grandeur of Andrew Lloyd Webber's stage score, and fans of the band have long noted the resemblance.
Why now: The resemblance between the two pieces is a long-running point of amusement among music fans, and the anecdote makes it relatable.
