Your music saved an old friend of mine….literally. He regularly got stoned, and fell asleep one evening with a freestanding gas fire on, listening to your music. He said he was awoken by his grandfather shaking him, (his grandfather had long passed), and the loud cacophony of clocks in ‘Time’ , feeling nauseated and dizzy. He managed to crawl to slide open the patio door and get out of the carbon- monoxide filled room into the fresh air…crazy story. So thanks for saving my mate with your music in more ways than one. He’s passed now but when I miss him I know I can find him in ‘Wish you were here’.

Your music captured exactly how we both felt as young adults and we knew we were no longer alone in our loneliness.
