- Therapist reacts to Wish You Were here by Pink Floyd to discuss how being in pain WITH someone changes the experience of the pain. The situation can be the same, but the pain feels different when you have someone to swim in the fishbowl of life with.

To absent friends . This song has been making me cry every time I hear it for the last 49 years
This song was written by Roger Waters who lost his dad as an infant. This is about him and his Mom living life wishing Dad was there. Of course the band would think of Syd . I would like to add Syd did a lot of LSD but he had (not) friends who would break into his apartment and put LSD into his food and drinks in the fidge, and not. tell him.
This would make most sane people start a journey into mental illness questioning their sanity.
I hear ya man, i got the pleasure to see them twice in concert! ❤
Ain't that the truth, brother. Seems I still make all the wrong decisions going for 45 years now.
Me to
Pink Floyd is therapeutic. Every song,every album.
There are bands and bands and bands…. and then there is Pink Floyd. So different and so brilliant.
I can't believe that there is still a human being who has never listened to this song.
right
5:57 the part that makes everyone just freeze the first time round ❤
What about babies?
It's bound to happen. If you are truly surprised, then your brain is smooth.
This was written in tribute to Syd who left the band because of mental and physical health issues. David and Roger missing their good friend while noticing its important to be present and freeing yourself to enjoy life to it's fullest.
Syd and David used to sit in their room playing songs on the radio together hence the radio in the beginning the song, the mouthing of the guitars was what kids did on air guitars when they couldn’t really afford a guitar. The song is David reminiscing the early days before syd left and the good times they shared as kids hence David Gilmore wishing syd was here!
@@roadrat59 David never met Syd when they were kids, Roger did. David was friend with Syd when they were teenagers.
@@silentgnome Teenagers are kids.
The majority of the album is a tribute to Syd. That, and a middle finger to the music industry.
@@vibingwithvinyl when my generation turned 14 we were considered adults. I paid ALL of my own bills, except for room and board, when I turned 14. My car, car insurance, car repairs, fuel, spending money, clothes, shoes, beer 😉, any recreational expenses, dating, etc. Now they say that kids don’t become mature adults UNTIL AGE 27! It must have been influenced by all of that fancy “book learnin’” after the government federalized our education system with the creation of The Department of “Education” on October 17, 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. THAT was the beginning of the “dumbing down” of our children and our culture. IT WORKED EXACTLY AS DESIGNED! 🙄😂
One of the greatest songs ever composed, it absolutely deserves the studio version, on your own time if nothing else!
My brother and I were both addicts unfortunately he lost the battle and Pink Floyd was the common ground we had. Listening to this song just hits different cause he was the only one who understood me. I’ve never been the same since.
I'm truly sorry for your loss.
@@powoodworker1751 thanks
Cheers to you getting sober, and cheers to your brother!
@aldogonzalezjr
Aldo, I'm sure your brother would have appreciated your strength to listen to this song, and to post here. Big up's to you.
When I was a teenager, my dad was really cool and would listen to the music I like and always give it a chance. I showed him Radiohead, he showed me Pink Floyd. We still talk about those two bands today. It's been 25 years.
Whole album was a dedicated to Sid, Shine on crazy Diamond 💎 is a must, 10 of 10 album. No surprise, it’s Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd was my father's favorite band. He lost his daughter a couple years before I was born and this song always made him think of her. Coming full circle now, this song has been like a punch in the stomach to me since he passed. Going on 2 years now and the holidays are rough, from the bottom of my heart, I wish he was here. Love you dad, rest easy.
2:02 - "...hitting me in the feels". That becomes more true the older you get. Wish You Were Here cuts deeper and deeper. As family, friends, pets, and other relationships age and go - the memories and this song are all that's left.
My boyfriend and I used to love riding around and listening to music. This song came up on our playlist a bunch ♡
RIP, my love 🕊
"High Hopes" and "Sorrow" from the same concert a must.
My best friend died from heart attack literally in my arms, and this song always reminds me of him and the feeling of how I really wish he is here
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Really pay attention to the lyrics
for me this is one of the four greatest songs ever written. This, here comes the sun, into the mystic and heart of gold
I have listened to this song so many times in my life, whenever I am in a blue mood I listen to it to help me process, and no matter what every time David Gilmour comes in with his guitar I get chills
My friends and I had a schoolmate die in a car accident a couple weeks before we started our senior year. This song. This effing song. I remember being 17, sipping a bud light in a truck bed on a fold out chair with a group of my buddies with this song on repeat. We were devastated . He is buried about 20ft away from my younger cousin who also died in a car accident just before he graduated high school.
When you have lost someone you love and you wish he was here, at least so you can tell him what I missed before, this song makes me cry
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
I always say the samething 😊
I love to watch you younger generations enjoying and analyzing the greatest generation in music history! Long live the Floyd!
I worked in Psych for 30 years working with trouble youths, when I would ever talk to them I would ask what music they would like to here in the back ground of our talking sessions. Music opened them up to conversation we had.
Yes. Sid Barret was a Great singer.
If you ever listen too Pink Floyd when they first come out..
Plus this song reminds of my Best Friend that Died in a car accident..
I miss him so much
God Bless the people that lost someone dearly❤❤
this song will never die just ages like a fine wine and still sounds as good as the first time when every note makes the hair on ur arms stand up I FUCKING LOVE PINK FLOYD
You should most definitely watch the entire pulse performance, the most amazing concert ever. Legendary.
I too have experienced the loss of a dear friend... unfortunately as we get older it's a given. Great reaction to a great song. Thank you!
I think it was perfect you decided to watch this performance, Pink Floyd is one of these bands which are better to hear live, and this song is just amazing, great analysis
There is no way to explain this song, there is no need to, it just feels with the heart. The magic of Pink Floyd…
Lost my mum to cancer two months ago, on her and dad's wedding anniversary. I think of her every day. Have always regarded Wish You Were Here as one of my favourites
From FurnaceFest_Fans: @GryphLane My condolences. Mum's are special people. Love that you can find solace in music that makes you think of her.
From FurnaceFest_Fans: @GryphLane I lost my mom about 6 years ago to cancer as well, I will say it doesn't get easier but it gets better. Having a song you love and can think about in a happy way in terms of thinking of her may help. The Story in Your Eyes by the Moody Blues (weird, but I used to listen to them with her as a kid all the time) is mine. Wish you were here is a beautiful song and my best suggestion is to appreciate the beauty of her in your life when she was there
From FurnaceFest_Fans: @GryphLane I lost my grandfather to throat cancer. I had to watch a man who lived to trumpet no longer able to even play one note. It's hard to watch the ones we love go in such a hard and difficult way. I took time for me to heal. It took years to heal but I can say now the pain is no longer there. I miss him time to time but the memory's are more filled with joy than sadness. I understand your pain and know you are seen and heard.
From FurnaceFest_Fans: @GryphLane I lost my mom to a brain aneurysm a few years ago. She lived Pink Floyd too and that funny cause Pink Floyd most definitely always reminds me of her. It was hard for a while. I still think of her all the time. Things have slowly gotten easier it's still a process. I hope you get through this and stay strong. There's a stranger out here praying for you and hoping that you are okay!
My dad and I would listen to Pink Floyd. I saw them in concert in 1994. Amazing! My dad passed away in February of 2022. I miss him so much and thankful I have Pink Floyd’s music to help me feel close to him.
My dad used to sing this to me and my sister when we were babies to send us to sleep, now I sing it to my own son, now wishing my dad was still here, big happy and big sad
The turning away live is awesome
When it slows down and he sings "No more turning away... from the weak and the weary." always gives me chills.
Extremely awesome.
@@rickpinney me too
Floydian philosopher here. Love your reactions! (My 2 favorite artists are Ren and Pink Floyd, so...) There are certain PF songs you'll be seeing a lot of requests for and although you really can't go wrong with any of them I'll agree with Time from Dark Side of the Moon as one that's right up your alley. I do concur with a few others that have recommended you react to studio versions as there are often tons of great production nuggets to experience. (Comfortably Numb being an exception; the extended outro solo live is always amazing, no matter which concert you pick). Keep em' coming!
One of the absolute greatest songs ever written and composed it hits everyone in the emotions I guess that’s why it was such a big song it’s something everyone can relate to which is what makes most songs so amazing is that so many people can relate to it and feel the emotion the artist put into it Pink Floyd will forever be one of my favorite bands
Shine on you crazy diamond!!! 💖💖💖
This song reminds me of Marco Simoncelli. He died from a MotoGP crash in 2011 and Valentino Rossi (a fellow rider/ 9 time world champion) put lyrics on his helmet from this song and I cried for like 5 minutes straight
This is beautiful, true sportsmanship. Rossi is such a pro❤️
David Gilmour plays guitar from his soul. Once one hears him play the beginning of this pretty song no one will ever forget it.
This song has always been "that" song for me. The second half just gives me goosebumps and usually tears follow. It just seemed to help me through the pain of a breakup and loss. This break down really made this make even more sense. Thank you
Best live experience ever, and I've been to a gazillion shows in my 55yrs. Perfect blend of audio and visual, you feel it in a way that 99% of concerts just cannot achieve.
"It's going to hit me in the feels" was something that you said, and then I thought, "You have no idea..."
It amazes me that I'm 60 now, and I grew up listening to Pink Floyd as a young boy, being captivated by the lyrics and music to the point of joyful tears, and now I'm watching generation after generation of young people falling in love with the same exact music, having a connection to it with the same intensity that I felt so many years ago, and every day since then. Nicely done. ✌️🙂
Meanmax, I was gonna say the same thing.
"Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage" is one of the most brilliant lines ever penned
I was 12 when I heard Pink Floyd the first time. I still listen 45 years later. Each album makes me feel different things, even today. ... Great reaction.
You
are so breathtaking beautiful to show your true emotions to hearing & dissecting lyrics of My Band!😍 You are Incredible to see this.. at 1st glance. TY
...as you pointed out: 'the music is rather evoking a lot of feeling' in contrast to the lyrics, but one can also interpret the music differently... as telling the same story without words... a fight between numbness and being present on stage, wavering forwards and backwards... thats how I always feel, when I watch especially this live version of it... 💖
Pink Floyd Light shows are second to none, officially.
This whole album is a great therapeutic listen.
highly intelligent woman u are, we wish we were there, well done
Thanks for your reaction and diving into Pink Floyd. I was fortunate to have seen them live in their final tour in May of 1994. They were one of the most ethereal sounding bands that I have heard in my lifetime. I can assure you that all 65,800 people there were mezmerized as I was throughout the entire concert. Enjoy listening to their music! Cheers from a Connecticut musician and producer. Dave
This was my late older brother's favorite Pink Floyd song before he died of cancer in 2014. It was my brother that got me hooked on Pink Floyd when he bought their Dark Side of the Moon 8-track tape in 1973 when I was 12. He would buy all their albums when they came out and I remember when he brought home their new , "Wish You Were Here" Album in 1975 and remember him telling me that "Wish You Were Here", was his favorite Pink Floyd song many years later. (Read Down)
"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here".
That verse hits me hard and reminds me of us running around our little textile community we were raised up in down south and not being able to go far because we didn't even have a car in my family until we were teens. My dad worked in the cotton mill a few blocks away and walked to work and we got food and necessities at the local company store that was owned by the mill there. We actually felt like two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year on the Mill Hill as we called it. The Mill Hill only had a few dozen houses built by the Mill Company for it's employees back in the early 1900's to the 1950's. The Mill and Company Store is long gone like many down here in the south. I was working in that mill when they shut the doors in 1996 after working 17 years there while my dad and grand dad both retired from that same mill. I have nothing but memories of my life on that little Mill Hill always beside my brother and being his sidekick. He was always seen, even in later years, by others that knew him as wondering around the streets like a lost pup and our friends gave him the nickname, "Lost Pup" If his or my friends saw me around they would ask where Lost Pup was. He was just, "Running over the same old ground", as he always did.
But, the words to that song, knowing it was my brothers favorite Pink Floyd song, just brings backs memories of him and makes me weep. When I do hear it, I think of him and say to my brother, "Wish You Were Here".
From kenalvarez1967: @CatO9lives Thank you for sharing your story about you and your brother Lost Pup, it's amazing just how many memories, good, and bad, a single song can pull back up. My condolences on the loss of your brother my friend, I lost my brother a long time ago and I still miss him every single day. All we can do is cherish our memories of them until we meet them on the other side. Wishing you all the best.
Ken
From tepidtooth85_95286: @CatO9lives What a wonderful story. I always love reading about stories people have tied to music, I have many of my own. This song might be the one I hear the most stories about though, and for good reason! This song (as many of Pink Floyd's songs) are universally relatable.
I'm so sorry to hear of how soon you lost your brother. But I want you to know that you're doing a great job keeping his memory alive! I'm sure I'll find myself thinking about your story the next time I spin *Wish You Were Here*.
Thank you for sharing your memories here with us!!
I didn't get Pink Floyd in my teens. I was like "How long is this intro? When does the song start?". But a few days after my grandpa died, I had to prepare a presentation for school and I just listened to what randomly came next on youtube. Probably because I looked up a few Pink Floyd songs before (again didn't really care about them) this song began playing, but this time it hit so deep. Pink Floyd has been my favorite band ever since. No other artist touched me as much through lyrics and music as they did.
Love is understanding and understanding is love
This track absolutely wrecks me mentally - but going on that journey with someone else enables me to hear it again.
Excellent reaction: I am not a counselor but a “case manager” and I try learn little things here and there from your comments.
I really like and admire you for who you are .. don't ever change and I will keep listening to what you need to say about the current topic of the daywill keep watching you
Congrats on getting the recognition on your local radio station Taylor !! Yea...Pink Floyd has an immense catalog of great songs !! The turning away,learning to fly,money,dark side of the moon/brain damage,comfortably numb,time are some of their best works...but there's many others that are classics !! 😁🤘/👍👊🤘
I like your reaction channel much more than the others. You have great insights, and your videos are relatively short. It's a nice change where I can see more videos for the precious free time that I have
Timeless music and musicality. This is why Pink Floyd rates in music lovers top 10 lists of all time.
Long time Pink Floyd fan here, love your reaction and comments 👍
I can relate.
Pink Floyd carried me to your channel. Keep up the good work, the World needs it as we become more conscious and comfortable with our mortality.
saw them in concert many times through the years, always amazing
As much as I love the Pulse performance, there is a sweetness and melancholy in the original album version that is unbeatable, in a way that is much more intimate.
The way the song was produced feels like you're in a small room, with a small group of friends, and one starts plucking at the strings, singing his heart out in memory of a lost friend.
It's a gem, truly hard to replicate in a large venue.
Try the album version sometime, on your own. If you lost someone, it will hit it very very hard, specially if you know the meaning behind the lyrics.
Agreed
There are so many great Pink Floyd songs... but I don't think I have listened to any of them more often than this one 👍😎
It’s awesome you appreciate this awesomeness. Listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. . You will love it👍👍👍
Pink floyd has a special place in my heart. Back in college, my cousin and I would listen to the wall or dark side, beginning to end in my old buick while smoking a fat blunt. Great times. Miss those days...
Wisconsin boy here! Let's go!! I love Pink Floyd's music. So iconic
I have always found, or told myself, that I’ve needed to be in a specific mood to listen to Pink Floyd. Ironically, the only time I listen to them is always randomly. Your analysis and positivity Ms. Taylor, makes me emotional when I didn’t even know there was emotion in songs I’ve listened to for years. Thank you for doing what you do it’s a godsend in my opinion!! Thank you to everyone @heartsupport you’re all phenomenal individuals!!
I love that you did Pink Floyd
I was sitting down in the common room of my college dormitory circa 1993 when a guy I barely knew said, "Hey, I got two tickets to see Pink Floyd and my buddy can't make it. You wanna go?" I said, "Yeah, sure." The tickets were floor seats and was one of the absolute best concerts I've ever seen to this day.
So fortunate to have seen Floyd in concert back in 94. This can be a deep rabbit hole, but it's so worth it.
Also, you gotta get out of the city and come to the country. Way too much negative energy there. ✌️
It's Floyd , so it's powerful. Masterful emotion builders. There's meanings to many of their songs that aren't always what you think.
Imagine seeing them live in 1973. Saw " Dark Side of rhe Moon" tour. It was a mind blowing experience. Pink Floyd isn't just music they're an experience. ✌️🌻🌻
I know what this song is about. To me I heard this song playing while I was riding home with my grandpa after my brother had just died. The sunset was absolutely beautiful over the Sonoita sky. I'll never forget that moment. My lost hero spent in song with my ultimate hero. Both in tears, even though he has no clue who Pink Floyd was. A band my brother introduced me to.
I am very happy you did this the lyrics are so deep and its like that in most every song they did they can touch your soul with just the music but then you add these lyrics and you get a very strong experience most people that have listened to them for a long time stay listening for that reason.
I spent my teen years in the 70's and music was always a part of my social circle, yet I would never listen to Pink Floyd with them. Always alone and although I didn't really understand why, I'm starting to put the pieces together now. Most bands speak at you while this band spoke to me. Their hanging and emphasis on the vowels within the words is a pleading to understand rather than a flourishing drama of of the consonants to entertain.
This song means so much to so many. I lost my sister at 19 she was 24 im 32 now and I didn't realize it then but she was probably my best friend I've ever had. I miss her even more now I'm going through a really difficult time currently and feel like I'm loosing myself. Trying to hold on for my daughter and be the best father I can be is difficult but I know I have to and seeing her smile and giggle makes my world a little brighter in the dark. She shares her middle name with my sister Elaine it felt like a way to have a part of her back. I'm not sure what compelled me to right this but I felt I needed to.
I know you don't know me but please seek out help from who you can. I am overly critical of myself and even when things are going decent I will often feel like I have failed everyone around me. I have been in that place to the point where I have gone on a drive to do the deed but I was able to snap myself out of it. After that I knew that if I didn't do something different I would get to the point that I would carry it out and I knew that was not fair to myself or my loved ones. I have been in off and on counseling for around 8 years or so now and while I can't say it is easy and I do not have off days the tools they have given me and knowing that I can reach out to a third party helps when I am having trouble. Seeking help does not make you weak, in fact it makes you stronger to be able to admit you need help.
From tepidtooth85_95286: @alexcrf250x Hey there,
Firstly, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I've dealt with loss myself, and it is never easy. We must have patience when recovering with such losses, as they do take time. I know how much hard times can bring up old memories of happier times. This very often can lead to you feeling helpless, like you'll never be able to find that place of peace again. Regardless of how strong these feelings may be, we must never let ourselves be so tied to the past that we can't move forward. I know it's cliche, but the grass truly is greener on the other side, even if you can't see it now. We must pick up our heads and always strive towards these greener pastures.
I know you will make it through these hardships and be there for your daughter, you have got this!! I'll be praying for you.
From sangasugarbog: @alexcrf250x Hello my friend, thank you so much for reaching out, it really means a lot. That is not always an easy thing to do.
Loss certainly is such a heavy weight, and a deep sting like no other. Losing someone makes things a little darker in our lives. Remembering our loved ones can bring so much sorrow that they're gone, but so much joy to remember the time we once had with them. I'm so sorry you are going through a hard time right now. Sometimes, life is just so overwhelming and has so much to offer. We can often lose sight of ourselves in the midst of it all. Do *not* fall to the weight of these tests, you are going to come out of this stronger than you ever were. In life, the trees with the strongest branches have endured the most challenging of winds.
You truly are here for a reason, and your purpose is *so* significant. I know your daughter looks up to you in ways I could only imagine. You are such a light for her, and I know she is such a light for you even when things may seem dark.
I really do appreciate you reaching out and trusting us. You did the right thing by going off your compulsion to write this. You are so strong my friend, keep your head above these waves. Keep persevering through this beautiful gift of life that we have been given. :slightly_smiling_face:
From Ryan270624: @alexcrf250x Yeah it really hits a chord with me as well thinking about losing my mother about the some time you lost your sister. So many things remind us of them not being here and you realise how special they were.
I love what you have written about the special bond you have with your daughter as well. I've been in some dark places too and being around my daughter just being herself gave me that little bit of sunshine to know that I had to keep going. The way she just loved me anyway despite how I felt about myself eased my pain enough to keep going.
Dude you've written a couple of brief sentences but I can see how important she is to you, how much you love her, and how hard you are striving to do your best for her. Parenting is hard and there isn't any instruction manuals and everyone has their opinions that often leaves us questioning our judgement.
I want to encourage you though, you have absolutely nailed the most important parts of parenting - you love her, she knows she matters to you and you are doing your best for you. I believe Elaine would be so proud of her brother.
Keep going and keep reaching out because you matter and you don't have to struggle alone.

Hi!! I follow your channel from italy and I love it so much! In 2 days I'll go to David Gilmour's concert and this song is in the setlist.... Ready to cry all my tears!!!! kisss
Pink Floyd will, always, get a like. They transcend genre, and they don't play fair.
“They don’t play fair.”, what does that even mean? 🤔
2016 MSG, 20,000+ fans singing this song, talk about audience parcipitation. Fabulous.
This song always reminds me of those who moved on without me.
Beautiful reaction! You need to take a dip in the music of Pink Floyd... I'm sure you'll be enchanted not only for the music but above all for their lyrics
This my favorite Pink Floyd album 💿 glad you are doing this!! Listen to the whole album it’s amazing 🤩
All heaven in David’s music, no hell at all
Another beautiful song from this great Pulse concert is High Hopes. I think you'd really enjoy it.
I agree. I've listened to most of Pink Floyd's and Roger Waters' songs. I always think of the much later 'High Hopes'; to me, it's much, much sadder than 'Wish You Were Here.' Time is screwing us all.
I had the privilege of seeing them Live in Munich in 88. I was already a huge fan and I will never forget it. You should check out Animals, Pigs 3 different ones. I would highly recommend you listen to the studio album to experience the original recording of Wish you were here. Something about how what was captured in the studio, it's like capturing Lightning in a bottle.
Amazing insight into this song. Thank you.
This entire concert was amazing!
Years later, they were in the studio recording, and there was a man there none of them recognized. It was Syd. He was so far gone that they didn't realize it as him. He was brilliant, just didn't make it back from a journey he decided to take.
I always looked at this song as talking to the person you use to be the addict talking to the in er souls of who you really are specially the 2 lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year the closeness of the fish bowl is you living vicariously through the person you use to be to me it's the addict telling the inner soul wish you were here that double life of addiction kind of thing
Interesting theories HeartSupport. Keep up the good work.
Huge fan of the natural look.
Factually, this album and the Wall by Pink Floyd are two of the deepest and most meaningful albums anyone could listen to.
Wish You Were Here and The Wall need to be listened to as albums -- they tell a story. To a psychologist, they tell a very interesting story about personality, the self, people boxing themselves in or imprisoned by what other people did to them while they were growing up.
When I was in college we all used to hang out and drink in the dorms. Then the guitars would come out and we'd all sing songs. My friend and I were the only ones in the group that knew all the words to this song so we would sing this together. When he died, I sat on the floor in my darkened dorm room and played this song over and over and over on my Walkman until the tape snapped.
This was the first song I learned to play all the way through on guitar, back in the 70s.
Fascinating reaction, thanks. Listening to the albums and the Live Pulse recordings are different experiences, and I'd recommend both. As someone who is looking for feelings in songs, also from Pulse you can pick any one of six or seven, however, I think you'd find High Hopes and Great Gig in the Sky very rewarding.
Pink Floyd is where I find my inner peace
So I just lost a friend who I'd been friends with for 30 years. We went through separate terrible childhood traumas and got each other through them. We fought through addictions together and sobriety. We continued to try to navigate mental health issues together throughout our lives. She died 2 years ago after a long long health battle. I have her ashes in an urn on a shelf in my house. Honestly I'm kinda lost without knowing she's here on earth somewhere. This song kills me every time. Saw Pink Floyd in 1994. I'm going to see David Gilmour in November 30 years later in NYC. I really do wish she was here.
From brittxmilla: @piercingbyjohnalonzo I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. It’s clear how deeply your friendship meant to you, and I can only imagine the void it has left in your life. The bond you shared, supporting each other through such profound challenges, is truly beautiful and speaks volumes about the strength of your connection.
The way you hold her ashes close shows just how much she still means to you, and it’s heartwarming to see that you’re carrying her memory with you.
Going to see David Gilmour must be both a tribute to your friend and a chance to celebrate the incredible journey you both shared. It’s okay to feel lost; healing takes time, and it’s a testament to your love for her that you feel so deeply. Surround yourself with that love, and remember that she’ll always be a part of you, guiding you in spirit. Sending you so much compassion and strength as you navigate your healing journey! keep going :black_heart:
From PenArt: @piercingbyjohnalonzo Keeping her memory alive and keeping her close to you is so kind to your friend and shows just how much you loved and still love her. I can’t imagine the kind of grief that loss can bring, especially when you two were so close and went through a lot of heavy times in your lives together. Recovery and healing from addiction is not an easy thing to do, and I’m so glad you had someone with you to see you through and to support you, and you were such a loving and caring friend to love and support them back. I’m so sorry you’ve lost such a valuable light in your life.
Music can help carry a lot of feelings and memories for us. I'm glad you have songs that comfort you or help articulate a certain emotion or feeling. Taking her with you in your mind and keeping her in your heart is such an honor to her, because I’m sure she would do the same for you and bring you to a concert wherever she is too. Thank you for sharing, you’re such a strong person for carrying on and making it through another year. We’re here for you and to listen, my friend, and we love you so much! I hope the show is better than you can imagine it to be

This song always reminds me of my dad now.. Pink Floyd was his favorite band and he would play this song on guitar and sing! 😭
Pink Floyd is one of the greatest group of all time with original and experimental music like Queen was in a different kind of music but as much original and experimental music. At that time many artists was searching to create their own music instead of copying music from others.
You should also hear "Great gig in the sky" and when you will search for the history of this song and the girl who sang this song at that time, you be once again amazed of the originality and open mind they had to create such a beautiful peace.
