Us and Them is a song from English progressive rock band Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon. It was written by Richard Wright and Roger Waters and sung by David Gilmour (harmonies by Wright). It is 7 minutes, 51 seconds in length, making it the longest song on the album.
It deals with ethnocentrism, conflict and the belief that a person’s self is “always in the right”
It is rather quiet in tone and dynamics and it has two saxophone solos in it, played by Dick Parry, one at the beginning and another towards the end of the song.

I can only say that their whole band had incredible talent to describe problems around people- it is mainly up to Waters lyrics. Furthermore their music (Dark Side of The Moon) is the best and the most complete piece of art ever made. Every single moment on this track is full of power and beauty. Only Money "stick out" of this masterpiece, I think the reason is if they gave another track as a single, DSOTM wouldn't be as popular, because people would not have seen how complete DSOTM is.

"The Violent Sequence (take one)" aka "The Piano Sequence" off "The Complete Zabriskie Point Sessions" is a sort of early version of this, just Rick on piano.

This song and Any Color You Like seem to release something in my brain, like it's similar to when you're on Ecstacy and you hear electronic or techno music, still, it's amazing :D Long live Pink Floyd.
