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.
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.
Subscribed from Nova Scotia, Canada. Enjoyed your analysis of this and Comfortably Numb…More Pink Floyd, and then hit up Led Zeppelin, and then Billy Strings… and…and… LOL…
“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.
Can you please react to "My Throat is an Open Grave (Resurrected Version) by Demon Hunter? There’s a metal version, too, but I honestly prefer the resurrected version of the song.
The lyrics hit deep. Never fails to make you examine your own life. “On The Turning Away” is another great song where the lyrics hit hard. Oh! Also “Brain Damage/Eclipse” Ok. I’ll stop bugging you now
So glad you’re experiencing Floyd. You might get more out of the band if you start out by doing their studio versions first. Four guys in the studio versus an entire ensemble group. It’s amazing how 4 guys can fill the sound they do. Roger was a master lyricist, and Gilmore replaced Syd, the guy that too much cid ironically enough. Roger is an adamant anti-war guy, so when I hear this song I feel like I’m listening to a war vet talking to another war vet buddy.
one day things were so bad god parted the stormy sky and looked down upon me, i saw and felt him, he showed me sooooo much and told me “dont worry i got this”. does that make me crazy? if so then being crazy is the only sane choice in an insane world.
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.
