The album "The Division Bell", is largely about (non-) communication and especially about the mentality where simple words can often solve many problems in life. The Division Bell is the name of a bell that rings at the Palace of Westminster, Houses of Parliament (London, UK). The bell indicates to parliamentarians that the debates will resume, or that these debates are coming to an end, that it's time to move on to the final vote. To put this song in context, you could try: Pink Floyd - Keep Talking (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited). Here's a sample of what you might hear in Keep Talking: "Why won't you talk to me? - You never talk to me - What are you thinking?"

David Gilmour never wastes a note. Absolute genius and I've never heard anyone make the guitar cry the way Dave Gilmour does. That solo at the end is one of the sweetest ever. Also, I'll never get over how brilliant this song is. It's perfect and beautiful beyond words. Perfectly composed, arranged and orquestrated. A true masterpiece.

It's not just that, every note he plays HAS to be there. With nearly all guitar solos there's some point where you think "Now you're just showing off". Not so with Gilmour. Changing anything in his solos would be like touching up the Mona Lisa with a marker. I have yet to hear a Pink Floyd cover that's an actual improvement over the original and I doubt I ever will.

[@AquilaRosaNero]

Hi, I'm writing to you from Sicily, in southern Italy. I had the fortune, honor and joy of attending the Pink Floyd concert in Rome on 19 September 1994. I was only 17 years old and it was an unforgettable experience. It was incredibly emotional, and even today I am moved listening to them, just as I was moved that day at the concert. Groups like them should be eternal; they would never have to grow old to continue writing songs, or rather, poems. The Pink Floyd videos you are watching are taken from the "Pulse" tour, the one I participated in. However, I highly recommend you watch the entire movie "The Wall" by Pink Floyd.

[@steveprice3468]

So glad you discovered Pink Floyd. They do pull you in. So emotional. What you feel is totally normal. Floyd is therapy for me. Welcome aboard

[@Scott-gjc]

The instrument David Gilmour is playing is a version of a lap steel guitar made by Fender. Nobody plays it like him. So beautiful. He plays it in several Pink Floyd songs 💗

[@jonathanroberts8981]

Referred to as a “steel” guitar because you determine the notes with a steel bar rather than pressing the strings down to the neck.

[@TheFremenBlue]

You're spot on, High Hopes is about nostalgia, regrets, yearning for better times. FWIW, I've heard it probably hundreds of times, been a fan for 50 years, and this song still makes me cry, so I'd say you got it exactly right. Great reaction!

[@davidperlstein9054]

The bell in the background is “The Divison Bell” which is used in England to call lawmakers to come and vote. High Hopes was a last minute addition to the album. Supposedly David was inspired by something his wife said and he constructed the song and recorded a demo by himself in one night and the rest of the band came in and recorded the full song which was added to the album.

I appreciate and enjoy your reactions to Pink Floyd. They are absolutely one of the greatest bands ever. This reaction, in particular, hit me in the feels, watching you soak it all in.

Their version is definitely their own, but the respect and admiration for the original certainly shines through.

Wonderful recitation as always! You recognize the key things in Pink Floyd's music very well. I think you should listen to both "I wish you were here" and "Shine on you crazy diamond" as soon as possible. Those two compositions are in a way anthems of many generations ... also pay attention to David Gilmour's solo work after Pink Floyd. you will hear more absolutely phenomenal music. Some say that actually David Gilmour is some kind of god walking the earth. And I mostly agree with that.😇 By all means keep it up. Your reactions are really wonderful.

But forgive me ever suggesting a tribute to a great song by a very good/ talented group Nightwish that did a phenomenal job playing it. The 2 versions are obviously different but to suggest to anyone that he/she is completely wrong in either to request it or even mention it.

[@EricManktelow]

The sounds at the begining are the sounds of the English countryside which transports me back to when I was a kid. Quite fitting for the song. A couple of decades back I was suffering from a form of depression, I hadn't felt anything for what felt like months and thought I was dead inside. One summers day driving home from work this song came on the CD player and when I got to the slide guitar solo at the end I felt for the first time in what felt like a long time and all my emotions came out all at once. I had to pull over because I was crying so much and couldn't drive. Once I composed myself the rest of the drive home I felt lighter and clearer than I had in weeks and the depression never came back (it's flittered round the edges on occasions but never settled since.) It was the most amazing catharsis I've ever felt. This song still takes me back to a childhood in the country with church bells ringing out from villages on a Sunday, endless summers, bees and simpler times. Music is amazing!

[@cmarrafa]

'High Hopes' is a composition rich in poetic images and symbolism. Released on the album 'The Division Bell' in 1994, the song is often interpreted as a reflection on the past, the loss of innocence and the progressive passage of time. The lyrics, written by guitarist David Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson, evoke a sense of longing for an idyllic time and place, possibly the band members' youth and the early days of their musical career. The expression 'world of magnets and miracles' can be seen as a metaphor for the fascination and enchantment of childhood, where everything seems possible and the world is full of wonders. The song also mentions 'the long road' and 'the boardwalk', indicating a journey that the band members have traveled together, and questions whether there is still a common meeting point, 'by the cut', changing changes in relationships and the dynamics of the group. The song's chorus, with its repetitions of 'The grass was greener, The light was brighter', highlights the human tendency to idealize the past, seeing it as a time of greater vivacity and happiness. The song ends with the image of an 'endless river', perhaps symbolizing the continuity of life and the eternal search for satisfaction and fulfillment, despite the many times we have already walked the same path. 'High Hopes' is a melancholic meditation on the human desire to achieve our dreams and aspirations, whilst struggling with the realities of life and the weight of our ambitions. The story about the creation of "High Hopes" is extremely curious. For those who imagine that such a crafted and detailed song would have required a long time to mature, David Gilmour brings a completely opposite reality. He says: "High Hopes was actually supposed to be the last song on the album (Division Bell), a kind of finale, in one way or another. It's one of those songs that you work on quickly but beautifully, almost immediately. I carried some ideas with me into a cassette tape, with just a few bars of piano, and I went to a little house somewhere with Polly, to try to make some progress on writing lyrics. She gave me a phrase and very quickly we wrote it. Then I went back to the studio, with no one else there, I completed it and put it in a demo. I did everything myself and I can say that it was completed virtually in a single day."

[@markolney-lf1ec]

No other guitar player plays like David's guitar. His guitar has a soul that touches my soul.

[@edgarquiroz6034]

Listening to High Hopes for the first time in the summer of 1994 when the solo started, it captivated my soul that I stood frozen thinking how someone could play such an instrument that stops in your tracks and takes to another realm where's there is no pain or suffering.

[@TheChromescorpion]

My favorite Pink Floyd song is Coming Back to Life. It is one of their very few feel good songs. It's about, no matter who has put you through the wringer and crapped on you in the past, saying screw that I'm going back to my hopes and dreams and goals, with or without you. The bell tolling at the beginning is The Division Bell, a bell that is rung in British Parliament to signal and time (8 minutes) to vote for or against a resolution. It also signals the start of the day and 2 minutes of prayer. You're not far off, it's actually an epilogue, looking back on your life in old age and the High Hopes you had for your life when you were young.

[@DarrellW_UK]

Nice choice of song, you’re digging deep into PF’s repertoire, Time or Great gig in the sky would be a great follow on. You got the meaning of it pretty much right, nice reaction. Just out of interest Nightwish have done a cover of this, Marko sings it! Jeez if you’re blubbering at this I dread to think what you’re gonna be like when you hear Paulina from The Warning singing her cover of Creep by Radiohead!!!

Time or The Great Gig in the Sky would be my choice too. Songs that should be listened to daily to remind you of some important fundamentals of life 👍

[@SometimesIamOmniscient]

I'll explain David Gilmour's style. Guitar Magazine back in the mid - late 90s wrote: David Gilmour is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend and has practically Perfect Note Placement. His solos are not technically difficult Note wise, but to be able to bend and release is difficult to mirror. David Gilmour said, not verbatim as I'll try to explain, that he plays his solos, mainly, as if like an Opera Singer. Play a note and bend it in certain ways and shake it like an Opera Singer. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth said, David Gilmour can take one note and bend it in so many ways where many other guitarists have to use the entire fretboard to do so. Something along those lines. About David Gilmour's mouth movement as he plays is because he is actually singing in his mind and actually moves his mouth muscles as if he were singing it and then relays it to his fingers in order to achieve the sound and or sounds he is wanting to make and or perform. For example, studies have shown that when a person is annunciating a word or words in their mind their trachea and larynx, maybe just larynx, moves as if talking. A great example of David Gilmour singing the notes that he is playing is in the song, (Best Acoustic Song Ever) Wish You Were Here short solos. I was 15 years old when the Pulse Tour was happening and I heard a commercial for it. When I heard the voice of David Gilmour sing, in the advertisement, "Ticking Away The Moments That Make Up A Dull Day...." I thought, WHAT THE HELL? I went out and bought The Dark Side of The Moon Album. I just went straight to the song Time. Then, when I heard that guitar Solo of his in the song Time, I thought.. okay.. time to pick up a guitar and start learning. That Solo is considered a Masterpiece of Composition. Not technically difficult to play, but again... He is and still is The Undisputed Dean Of The Compound Bend with practically Perfect Note Placement. Hence why many people say, "Damn! He can make that Guitar Sing!" All my life, I never understood why the 2nd (last Solo) of Comfortably Numb was never #1 in Best or Greatest Solos of All Time. However, finally a few years ago it became The Greatest or Best Solo of All Time. If you understand Music and Math, that Solo can be played Indefinitely. (If you don't get tired) It goes from B down to E and repeats. David Gilmour in an interview said something along the lines of, "The structure of the music allows me the freedom to just play." To end.. David Gilmour admits that he never was a fast playing Guitarist. Does he really need to be? (rhetorically asking) 🎸 ❤🎉 Stacey, I follow you now because of your reactions to Pink Floyd... ❤ Alice Cooper said something like, "Pink Floyd is Here... While everyone else is over here... " In an interview showing with his hands the separation of... No one is like nor ever will be like Pink Floyd.. 🎉 ❤😊🎉 David Gilmour is my favorite Guitarist and Artist 🎉 Roger Waters said that David Gilmour has a Very Powerful Voice 🎉

[@KopCole]

I heard this song first in 1994 on cassette I bought the day it was released. I put it on in my car and cried when the song was over, not because it was over but because the solo hit the part of my heart where emotion lives. David never wastes a note. They’re all there to evoke something in us all. And the solo still does it to me 30 years later

I've always loved this song since my 20's. Now in my mid 50's and, for me, it feels like a beautiful musical lamentful self-eulogy that opens one to reflective mourning over their own faults and missed opportunities.

[@BillKibby1]

I believe you are spot on with your reaction Stacey. Pink Floyd's music has much emotional content and is so easy to relate to and David's gift of playing touches the soul of us all. This year I turn 60, with graying hair and wrinkles starting to arrive, i am left contemplative which I suspect is much the point of his music. Hope you find as many years enjoying them as I have!

[@tomasericsson1213]

Great reaction. You must listen to "On the turning away" 20 years ago i drove home in the middle of the night from hospital after my mum has died. That song was on repeat on the car stereo all the way home. It was so perfect at that time.

[@peterryan8472]

There always was an extreme melancholy around Pink Floyd, or at least many of their songs. This is about life passing, the endless river, for ever and ever just gets me… I still cry, nd I am 65.

[@moparman1962]

Stacey, what David Gilmour was playing his solo on is called a Pedal Steel Guitar...like part electric guitar, part four-legged, pedal-sound-controlled mini-piano sort of.

[@davidellinsworth3299]

You HAVE to listen to Nightwish's version of this... from Live End of an Era 2005 😊.... one word: Marco!!! The song is about retrospect: when you're a child you wait for the big open world as an adult, but then as a middle aged adult you pray for the innocence of childhood once again Sticking with Pink Floyd, try Coming Back to Life from this same concert (Remastered version)

[@whirledpeaz5758]

I concur

[@HeliRy]

For sure! I was glad that NW didn’t make the mistake everyone else does of trying to emulate David’s guitar work... and instead just butcher it lol. They took the song and made it their own, did it their way. And it’s great.

[@alnorwood134]

I totally agree! Their version is a terrific tribute to Pink Floyd. Two more that Marco really shows his skills are The Islander in Tempare, and Phantom of the Opera in 2005 with Tarja, End of a Era Tour.

[@Stogz]

Agreed

[@danray104]

100% correct. Even David Gilmour said that the NW tribute, was the best he's heard.

[@Eric_L_Laney]

Stacey, I love your heartfelt reactions. I’m 64 years old, and they have been a favorite of mine for many years. David makes the guitar sing. Would you like to hear young Pink Floyd? In 1971, released in 1972, they recorded Echoes in an ancient outdoor stadium in Pompeii, Italy. No audience. Just them and the film crew. One of the KZbin videos that captures this is Pink Floyd-“Echoes” Pompeii. That is Part 1 on the HDPinkFloyd channel. A video that shows both parts is Pink Floyd-Echoes/Live at Pompeii (full). I highly recommend. A year after this, in 1973, came their hugely successful Dark Side of the Moon album.

[@xavierb5008]

The bell is the parliament’s division bell, but to me, sounds here as a powerful symbol : it is the bell that rings the time when you depart from childhood’s fusional experience of the world, the time when you set out for fame, money, ambition and other social decoys … and lose touch with the sensuous and rapturous matter of life. Eventually, it is the tolling bell of your childhood’s funeral. And the beautifully elegiac music targets the core of your heart. Once again. Pink Floyd is the only band I know of whose music merges so perfectly emotion and meaning. All my love to you all who are as moved by it as I am.

[@vti21]

This whole Pink Floyd Journee will change her on some way. Glad to See such a Young Woman doing it. Keep going.

[@clifton8929]

Bright Angel Stacey, I love your channel and your sincere heartfelt commentary. When music touches the soul, it becomes part of you that never dies. It's a form of magic that reflects the kind, thoughtful person you are.

[@Eriond1]

It was very emotional to see your reaction on this song, I think your emotions came out in a more physical way than the others. It made me feel more also. I’ve listened to Pink Floyd since I was a toddler, so we can say their music have been part of what makes me who I am today. High hopes is one of my favorites, and I will really recommend you to listen and react to «Time» which have some really hard hitting lyrics. Thank You for sharing your musical journey with us ❤

[@J3scribe]

The switch from beautiful, melodic Spanish guitar making you feel all warm and cozy with his reassuring vocals, to the wild screech of a Fender slide guitar can upset anyone's sense of balance. But that's the point. Right? Cry all you want.

[@glennjones6004]

His guitar on this is a lap steel guitar mounted on a stand. The pitches are defined by a steel bar in one hand that the player slides up and down the strings. It is the smaller brother of the pedal steel guitar most notably used in country music.

[@Unvicimo]

Hello Stacey, thanks for the reaction, David has a unique language of expressing himself through his guitar(s). the instrument he was playing in the last solo is a Steel Guitar, in general a normal guitar can be used using a Steel Slide, a type of tube that is placed, for example, on the ring finger of the left hand, a method often used by guitarist Chris Rea. Thank you very much for the video and yes Pink Floyd "forces" us to cry without wanting to. Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@conan5885]

Hey fellow countryman brother, fellow PF and Gilmour fan, and guitar player. Always nice to see another Portuguese here.

[@peterdobos1606]

"Echoes" off the "Meddle" album is a must. It's long - it took up the entire "B" side of the vinyl - so maybe not the best for a reaction video, but just listen to it for yourself. There are three standout versions IMHO: the studio recording, the original "live in Pompeii", and David Gilmour live in Gdansk. The first 2 are going back towards the origins of Pink Floyd, shortly after Syd left and the lineup became the "classic" Gilmour, Mason, Waters, and Wright. They were recorded in 1971, so over a half century ago. The Gdansk version is brilliant and extra poignant because it's the last time David would ever perform it, as we lost Richard Wright to cancer not long afterwards and David said he'd never play it without Richard. That was the last ever Pink Floyd related performance of Richard's. #fuckcancer

[@MrRoundwound]

I was lucky enough to see this concert in Vancouver in 1994. That solo has the same effect on me and I’m a 58 year old man.

[@SubmerSounds-up3sx]

I watched David Gilmour play live at Royal Albert Hall in London a few years ago and when he played this song, as well as Comfortably Numb and Shine On I cried like a baby - partly because of the experience of watching a master Ive grown up with live, but also undeniably because these songs are masterpieces of emotional, melodic intent drawn from real experience telling you a story. Pink Floyd are unsurpassed.

[@williamfenner9480]

I enjoy your reactions as they remind me of how I felt the first time I heard these Pink Floyd tunes. Thanks! "Run Like Hell" from Pulse is the final song of the encore and probably won't cry 😅

[@johnchadburn980]

Brings tears to my eyes too every time I hear this song and I’ve heard it hundreds of times

[@phillowney4378]

This song evokes childhood memories of summer in a typical English village set in green rolling countryside on a sunny Sunday morning, the village church bellringing, playing in the corner of the farmer's field with friends where hollows in the hedgerows became our dens, and we'd jump across a small brook, occasionally losing our footing and getting our feet wet. Happy days.

[@balthazartrumpi6808]

Another great reaction, Stacey. You are definitely not alone when shedding soulful tears during Pink Floyd's transcendent music..... I'd like to break down this great Pulse concert for you, in regards to the type of music they perform at this show. For more beautiful, moving ballads, check out Shine On You Crazy Diamond (the concert opener), Wish You Were Here, The Great Gig In The Sky, and Us And Them. When you want a break from tearing up, go to their faster songs, which have a unique, mesmerizing power all their own: Keep Talking, Another Brick In The Wall, One Of These Days, Sorrow, and the concert finale: Run Like Hell.... Another great rocker from an earlier concert (1987): The Dogs Of War (from the same Delicate Sound Of Thunder film you watched for On The Turning Away). For me, it is one of the great over-looked gems from Pink Floyd's live performances.

[@joedoolan6207]

well done love !, for such a young woman, pink floyd "touches the soul", i,m 65 years old and have allways loved pink floyd. 20 years ago ,i sufferd a brain haemmorage, and after the surgery, there was one part on the base of my brain which they couldent reach with surgery !, so i had "GAMMA KNIFE " radiation treatment, which meant i was put in a tube with the door closed and a metal frame screwed into my skull which precisley directed the radiation beam to the target area. i was in there alone for 4 hours and they said i could listen to my own music { you can guess who i listend to}. dark side of the moon, and the wall, so for myself , they have a very in depth feeling.....joe

[@martchristy9981]

Ooohh! Stacey, you are so lovely. You hit the nail on the head about what the song means, then decide you were wrong! Never, ever be afraid to show your emotions - especially where Pink Floyd is concerned. Their music has a way of pulling on your emotions, then ripping them to shreds. This is an amazing piece of music by the masters, so it's no wonder you cried - Hey, I cried too when seeing your reaction. Would LOVE to see you react to the whole of DSOTM. The thing should be listened to in it's entirety in one sitting. It's at that point when the whole album concept hits you in the gut. Take that as fair warning. Keep it up gal. Peace and love from the U.K.

[@youraccount7003]

You are sooo going to love the song On the Turning Away from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert. It's heavenly vocals and harmonies are incredible.

[@rubentullenaar2934]

Loved the reaction, thank you 🙏🏻. The guitar David plays is a slide guitar, he holds a tube in his left hand and slides over the strings and that gives it that twangy sound. Next on the list…. ? Studio version of “The Great Gig in the Sky”. Little disclaimer, this song is from their album “Dark Side of the Moon” arguably the best album ever made. It’s a concept album which is best listened from beginning to end.

[@neillenet291]

He's playing a pedal steel guitar.

[@rubentullenaar2934]

@@neillenet291 thank you for correcting 👍🏼

[@johnlamb6434]

This is the music I was brought up on so it's nice to hear and see a beautiful girl exposed to and feeling the wondrous Pink Floyd.

[@janpieters9840]

Every time that music wakes up your emotions, makes you cry or give you goose bumps you know for sure that this music touches you and it is part of your personal music collection. That music is on the same wavelength as your soul/spirit referring your life experience.

[@tonykemp8505]

Hi Stacey, it's very interesting to me watching a young lady literally become a fan of a band i have loved for some 50yr or more & it's a beautiful thing to watch. keep going & your appreciation will only grow i'm looking forward to watching your journey.

[@duncanwyer2460]

Maybe combine your love for Floyd and Nightwish by mixing the two ? Nightwish did this song as a tribute to pink Floyd with Marco singing 😊

[@SokolRock]

I have a feeling that Stacey has decided not to do any more reactions to Nightwish for now. Maybe it's because of some toxicity in the comments under the last video (the usual "Pendulum" altercation between current Nightwish fans and Tarja's Tuomas-hating fans), I don't know. But I agree - Nightwish's tribute to Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" is a must-see.

[@danielhewson8866]

Striving for success and achieving goals is no guarantee of happiness. The path is everything and the past is an integral part of that. That's the message I take from this classic. And you were absolutely right. The nostalgia is intended

[@JeffRhine-ru2pk]

Don't worry . You're crying shows you're heart is pure and beautiful. Wish you was around to go to their concerts with me in the 70's and 80's. I would have been honored to have you with me.

[@Adventuresofwildcamping]

I just knew this one would get ye. It's a song that gets you thinking. Try keep talking from the same concert. He uses a instrument that he uses in his mouth that is simply incredible, you'll love it. Floyd are so good at making you feel what the song is about. The amount of people who have said this song reminds them of their childhood is amazing

[@seanphlegming7679]

They aren’t concerts, they are performances.

[@romanjohnston]

It is a reflection on the cycle of life, from childhood exploration to the colorization we all realize as we bind ourselves to others views of the world and being to loose our individuality through the creation of habits. Reflecting back, everything seemed more vivid then (the grass was greener) We get lost and loose our connection to the universe as we develope filters the second we enter this planet and begin looking externally for acceptance and definition of self. That connection never left us....and we return to it when we die....and some of us.......we seek the connection once we undersand the game and those people usually are artists....channeling the universes energy and transfering it to those we present our work to.....much like Pink Floyd does with their music. And we affect every sould we touch.....reminding them that the connection to "all that is"....is in you too. Being at Floyd concerts have written pages into my souls book that truly have affected and changed my life in finding that connection again.

[@michaelkennedy5660]

It's not about nostalgia. It's about wanting what we think we want and burning brigdes to get there. It's about bad decisions loss, regret and ultimately reflection.

[@rattybw]

Your heartfelt reaction(s) to the songs are priceless. Your emotional response is what I love the most. I purchased my entire Pink Floyd collection at the first release of each album. I enjoy hearing each song as though it's my first time, and I never get tired of hearing them. There is probably 45 (+/-) years of age difference between you and I, which means their music spans a pretty wide canyon of fans and listeners. Your reactions are like watching a time lapse video of a flower blooming. It sounds like your dad is steering you in the right direction. Listen to him. It sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Stay sweet.

[@StaceyRPGReacts]

Thank you for the sweet comment! ❤️

[@rattybw]

@StaceyRPGReacts Okay Stacy, now it's time to listen to Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. Eager to see your reaction.

[@alancrofoot]

Another amazing reaction, love the tears, they show the level joy you're feeling. That was a Pedal Steel Guitar David used for the last solo, very cool sound, very emotional.

[@gennarocavainolo8488]

Don't worry i think most of us were in tears right along with you. We understand and appreciate the raw honesty.

[@Wolli2284]

One of my Most liked Song of Pink Floyd. Unusal but very unique! And the solo is killing me every time!

[@scottvanhille5688]

Nice reaction Stacey, I do suggest the song "Time" it's another great hit.

[@erikjohnson9931]

That Spanish guitar solo in the middle is AMAZING! So love Pink Floyd and especially after waters left.

[@russellfolk9846]

The Pulse concerts were excellent. I went on consecutive nights at Earls Court, London, one of which you're seeing here. Floyd concerts are an experience, not just because of the music and lights but also the special effects. You get giant sized pigs (hogs) with laser beam eyes, aeroplanes flying over the audience and crashing with an explosion into the stage, Floyd "droid" lighting rigs, flying bedsteads, and surround sound farm yard animals. Absolutely stunning and totally unforgettable. Enjoy the videos, keep then coming (and the tears!)

[@shaunbyrne9037]

Love sharing your introduction to Floyd with the many Floydians around the world . Once you allow them into your soul they will always be there to help you along in life's journey . They are like a life long companion that will be there to soothe any emotion that life brings forth . 🙂 . Another guitar player that touches your emotions is Mark Knopfler of the group Dire Straits.... I think you will love the song Telegraph Road Live Alchemy Tour .... amongst many other songs of theirs .

[@oktarin324]

I appreciate your reactions to Pink Floyd very much. Thx so much. Dont hold your tears. I know these songs since decades and heard them so often and they are still watering my eyes.
