There is an inexplicable synchronization between the movie The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon. They call this event The dark side of the rainbow.
The film is from 1939, the album was released in 1973.
The origin of The dark side of the rainbow is a mystery, in 1994, a group of fans began talking about it on the web and then it spread to the radio and the collective.
The synchronization is notable, because the scenes from the film match the music on the album.
If this album is played from the third roar of the MGM lion that appears in the opening credits of the film, coincidences are observed between the rhythm of the lyrics, the thematic change of the songs and the events of the film.
The members of the group Pink Floyd have denied having been based on or being inspired by the film, as has the sound engineer, Alan Parsons.
This effect produced by the match that occurs with the two works is described as an example of synchronicity, defined by psychologist Carl Jung as, "a phenomenon in which two events appear to be related but the connection is not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality". There is also the phenomenon of apophenia, defined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad as the experience that consists of perceiving patterns, connections or both in random events or in apparently meaningless data.
There are more than 100 coincidences, and not all of them have the same strength or are so obvious, there are many parts in which the coincidences do not seem to occur so naturally, but when the image and the sound meet, the result is wonderful. Curiously, the images are synchronized and it seems that the Pink Floyd songs are made to accompany Dorothy on her adventure to return home.
