It feels good to be back after two months!
On that note, I wanted to write about an experience that made me fall in love with pink Floyd all over again. This was sometime in July. I was listening to,i think, brain damage from the album 'Dark Side of the Moon'. I for some reason decided to Google what it means.
Now, I had always enjoyed pink Floyd's music although I must admit that I didn't always know much about the songs themselves or the story behind them. But that one small decision to look up the meanings of the songs has changed the way I experience pink Floyd.
Every song has so much context and so much meaning. I have fallen in love with the honesty and beautiful poetry and metaphorical intelligence that pink Floyd brings to their work. I have been listening to pink Floyd since a really really long time. But now I feel their music on different plane. There's a paradigm shift in the way I feel their songs now!
Damn! I can't stop fangirling!

I've always had a love of Floyd.
Clare Torry and her vocalization on 'The Great Gig In The Sky' is probably my all time favorite from them.
It's getting hard to find them on vinyl without paying an arm and a leg for it these days (I am a die-hard vinyl junkie), but I currently have TDSOTM, Wish You Were Here and The Wall.

I do remember you telling me about the pink Floyd vinyl collection that you own! It's precious!
And yes, I recently discovered that Clare Torry's vocal solo was completely extempore! Speak of talent!

@Curlybobby Are you familiar with the first solo album from Roger Waters?
