[@craigmonteforte1478]

i want to sincerely thank both of you, i suffered a major Stroke 10 years ago that destroyed 90 to 95% of my brains right hemisphere i don’t generally complain or speak about the pain i’m always in but it’s quite hell as it feels like a explosion has gone off in my head and although i’m doing well in life by learning how to speak and be pretty independent again thanks to lots of therapy and hard work but truthfully my now partially paralyzed body doesn’t ever get to relax ? i used to play Acoustic guitar or really as i tell people i tried playing acoustic guitar for almost 40 years and now i can’t without the use of my left hand so i’ve found a new way to have music help me and that is by watching great performers onmy ipad when listening through some pretty decent Studio grade headphones pretty loud so i get some of the vibrations from the music and today i was having a little bit more of a bad day this morning untill i watched and listened to this Pink Floyd Cover by you two in the past i’ve liked, subscribed and ,shared your videos on Facebook and i’ve just noticed that your following has really gone up a great deal which i think is well deserved you guys are great ! thanks for giving me some relief i really appreciate how your music soothes my soul

[@therunningmatesband]

Hi Craig, First of all thank you so much for sharing your story with us. We can't even imagine how difficult this has been for you but your strength and hardwork to regain independence is inspiring. Knowing that our music can provide a little bit of relief for you means the world to us. We have days where we feel really discouraged and that maybe we should just get "real" jobs but comments like this remind us why music is so special and why we could never do anything else. Also thank you for sharing our music on social media, we definitely owe you for spreading the word! Happy Holidays, Craig- Julie & Spencer

[@maxcyclone5416]

Sorry to hear about your condition. The Running Mates are great aren't they? Keep fighting the good fight.

[@aracervant5627]

Hi Craig, sorry to hear about your current condition but happy for you for bcs you can enjoy this wonderful music that remains you beatuful time. I whish I could play guitar.

[@rogerpropst7768]

So sorry Craig. I can empathize as I unknowingly suffered a concussion in 2009 and it has affected my memory to the point I cannot learn anything new. Thankfully I can still play older stuff I had previously learned. hang in there man.

[@anthonymidyette9383]

Music will soothe your soul and heal your mind... God Bless you and I truly hope you find peace... thank you for sharing your story...One Love

Born in 68 and grew up on Pink Floyd. I have tears in my eyes. Thanks.

[@dianeeichenberg4579]

As a 67 year old, I was around to enjoy all of Pink Floyd’s music. Your rendition made my heart sing! I wish you happiness and joy and may you music continue to feed our souls.

[@lifeisamazingoutthere2446]

Doris Eichenberg ...hey Doris...I just turned 67 last Tuesday and I so agree with you ....Pink Floyd was dope and we grew up with the best music ever because it did sing to our hearts and fed our souls and caused us to think....wish we had that now!!! ❤️🕊

[@dianeeichenberg4579]

just wannabefree .....I’m just thankful that some of my grandchildren inherited my good taste! Although I have continued to expand my horizons with newer bands over the years. My brain still thinks I’m 18! 😎

[@alexanderrudnitsky2563]

I still enjoy it at 72.

[@billydagenham]

I imagine people getting stoned and driving around in muscle cars listening to this kind of music. Also, sitting in a garage drinking budweiser listening to vinyls. Is my mental image correct Doris?

[@MrGhorD]

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground And how we found The same old fears Wish you were here Fonte: LyricFind Compositores: David Gilmour / Roger Waters

[@iantcrowlands]

Sorry for your loss. I feel you; I lost my wife on the 26th of May, five years ago, and the anniversary of her funeral is this coming Friday; this was played there, as she loved Pink Floyd and this song in particular too. I'm afraid these anniversaries don't get much easier, but I hope you're ok.

[@commandox8upoop642]

Masterful work. Such a clean sound. You should give each other a hug. You did that song proud. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Your voices and guitar work are great earthquakes rewriting our history. Such a great gift to the Universe acts to illuminate more consciousness and therein lies your power.

[@DKashman]

The song Wish You Here is a song which is deeply connected to me and in times of despair I listen to it to help me forget the things that are getting me down, but tonight I listened to your version and it moved me to tears, I struggle sometimes but you guys have provided me with a reason to push on I hope to discover more songs that can do this but for now just know you have helped one troubled soul to live on and fight ........ Thank you so much guys.

Stay strong and listen to "Always look on the bright side of life" when you are down it always brought a smile to my face.Cheers from Australia.
