oh by the way...

which one's pink? yep. i'm one of those people. i used to lie on my bed and listen to pink floyd full blast in the dark. i remember the times i played certain albums for people and i'd watch as they got hooked. i just saw this box set online and spent a significant amount of time shuffling through it. (the website was super neat-o!)

i am not a traditionally romantic individual...for instance, i find pink floyd romantic and nostalgic and timeless. CHEESY. i know, i know but the beginning years of listening to their music was filled with mind expansion and dreams of what would be and could be and the future. totally and completely: wide open.

i keep the rednecky classic rock station on my radio seek buttons. whenever pink floyd comes on i crank it up and retreat back into the 16 year old that was everything she wanted to be in her head...when i zoned out as a teenager and pink floyd was on, my thoughts and focus all came together. my dreams were clear and exciting.

here are my highlights (in no particular order)...although i honestly cannot pick just a few favorites because at one time i owned every. single. album. yep, i told you: i was one of those people.

what better to express your teen angst with than the wall?

more. this was a soundtrack to a terrible movie about two german addicts that went to an island to withdraw from heroin. they pretty much dropped acid and ran around naked through the entire film. there was one scene where the guy jumped onto a windmill and i saw more than i had ever seen (or really ever needed to see) on a man. i watched it with a male friend. it was NOT what we had expected when previously listening to the album. awkward!

wish you were here. this is what i call romance.

dark side of the moon should really

be in everyone's music collection.

just take my word for it.





my friend b girl and i used to listen this album,

meddle, so much i had to buy several copies it's drippy,

inspiring and opportunistic.

i could call it my favorite. if i had to.

my friend j still remembers the night i drove him around

and played this album for him for the first time. animals is a keeper.

and i love the piggies.

i had this album on a tape in my car for years.

the division bell is a good staple for road trips.

so as of late, i pulled out the old pink floyd (or what i have left) and turned off the lights and was still and silent. i recently remembered why i love music so much and decided that although others have damaged that relationship a little in the past...i am over it. i've invited music back in and we are having a great time together.
