      Hey buddy, we do appreciate your input into the good old music I grew up with in the 70s !! Sex, drugs and RocknRoll!! Keep on educating these young folks!

      Same with my father! I was blessed to know, learn and watch him for 42 years.. he should've been gone long ago, I was prepared to find him overdosed as a kid and never came. After 20+ years of sobriety, we found him the way he wanted to go I guess. With a video and all. I'm so thankful that the Lord saw fit for him to stick around while we grew up!
      Cheers mate! Life is beautiful and bitter at the same time.

      The Shamans believe people like your brother are gifted prophets and seeyers and it is criminal to put them on toxic medications or in those nasty assylums Many of these people are sensitive highly intelligent and psychically sensitive I believe the Shamans are right in wise ancientr cultures they are considered gifted however unfortunately sometimes they do pick up other energies which is a big reason for their issues (possessions) there are also physical issues that can be healed check out Abram Hoffer and Linus Pauling they healed people both won Nobel Peace Prize for their work

    This song was about their original guitarist, Syd Barrett, who lost his mind after too much acid and couldn't function at one point. During the recording, Syd came to visit them in the studio. He had turned from a frizzy-haired hippy kid into a chubby, bald, middle-aged man who was obsessed with brushing his teeth every few minutes. He was there, but he wasn't there.

    it's about Syd Barrett.. it's so sad. When I hear this song, I think of my son who passed. We lost him several years prior to his death to addiction. Glimmers of him came back during covid after when he got clean for two months. We were all home and got to spend a lot of time with the old Matthew, but then he relapsed and died. But the years of him being out there, missing him, wanting him to come back home and be himself... that's what this song feels like to me... just longing and missing and being powerless...

      As a millennial who just hit 30 and finally got around to getting my turntable set up with a good pair of headphones (the right way as I've been told before lol), It's definitely more of an experience than just "songs on an album". Just taking the time to sit there and listen from side A to B to end with the lyric booklet was something else. Never forget: There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark. :)

    Pink Floyd is known for the sonic atmospheres they create. This song is so simple, its acoustic and bare bones. And it ‘s every bit as impactful. I suggest watching this live from the Pulse concert. It’s not so much about death, more about the absence of someone who is still here but not really here or present. Such an amazing song because of its simplicity.

If they feel like doing something then a celebration of life would be cool but I want Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond played on repeat the entire time. And a dream of mine, which will never happen, would be to meet David Gilmour. I saw PF live twice…..1988&1995. Best concerts of my life!!!

    Pink Floyd's song "Time" is still one of their most profound songs that still makes me pretty emotional whenever I hear it.

      So is The Great Gig in the Sky - especially when you know its meaning: It's someone as they are dying - fighting against it, despairing about it, and then realizing they can't stop it and accepting it. When you know what it stands for, it becomes one of the most haunting songs you will ever hear.

      @@go-nogo1475 I hear you! Clare Torry is the singer. She came in as a "gig worker" for a day. Listened to the chord progression and improvised the vocals based on the dying theme. Knocked it out in a couple of hours (like 3 takes). Only got 30LB for it (like $400 today).
      With how famous her vocals became, she ended up suing Pink Floyd to get songwriting credit for it (after all, she came up with the "lyrics"); they reached an agreement where she got a lot more $$$ and is listed on the album now with writing credits for the song. Really interesting story.

    Timeless. I was ten, life was wonderful & Pink Floyd was one of my top 10 bands. As the song plays, I cant help thinking of how fast time passes, who’s still here & dear friends & family who have passed on but never forgotten! Love Pink Floyd! Y’all better share these songs w your children & play these great songs forever!
