Why does Pink Floyd make me cry? |
|
Ok, I don't cry often but every time I watch them from Live 8 I can't stop crying. I Tivo'd the MTV showing yesterday and started watching this morning and a few seconds into Wish You Were Here, I was full on sobbing. WTF? I can't tell if it's sadness, general nostalgia or happiness at seeing them play. sigh... I'm 46 and saw them play a couple of times in the early 70s and spent a large portion of my teenage years with headphones glued to my head playing Floyd. I'm going to get some tissues and watch it again. Carry on.
:cry:

That it represents a far better time in your life. I know it does in mine.
I pine for the days when there was some optimism in this country. It's all so dark and bitter right now.

But a good time for sure. For some reason, if I hear 2 or 3 bars from any song on Wish You Were Here, I'm immediately back in my friends basement stoned out of my mind. Maybe it's the pot I miss.
