I was roughly 10 when my Grandfather got me a Pink Floyd shirt. I hadn’t been super into the band and only knew 3 or 4 songs. My Dad was ecstatic, him and my Grnadfsther love The Wall. They always played it when cleaning, a tradition from when my Dad was a kid. After a few years life got hard. I hit rock bottom many, many times. Yet, everytime led me back to one thing; Pink Floyd. My Grandfather passed on November 11th, 2022, and at the time Im writing this, that’s tomorrow. Since his passing I’ve latched onto Pink Floyd. Yes, I was obsessed before, but this wasn’t just obsession. The albums, especially Meddle, became the one consistent in my life. My mother was abusive, and my father didn’t know what to do, so I played the albums, always rotating them, always searching for new little facts, always trying to find a way to cope. On June 27th, 2024, just over a year ago, my mother passed. I watched her body slowly deteriorate, and what kept me going was Pink Floyd. Thank you, so much.
