I really started listening to music as a teen because of the wall, but _obscured_ really hit me at an emotional level, years later, and has become one of my favorite albums. In particular “Childhood’s End” always gives me goosebumps / tears / a feeling of connectedness. (I would want that played as the last track for my funeral, if I were to have one, although I should probably require attendees have decent headphones!)
- defrost 2y agoDid you ever watch La Vallée, the film Obscured By Clouds was commissioned to serve as the soundtrack for?
- fuzzfactor 2y agoThis is one I learned when the record first came out. Single-handedly as a teenager just banging on acoustic guitar. Played it thousands of times, usually for myself to warm up. Different every time, and still haven't sounded very much like Pink Floyd yet ;) Still most people have never heard me do it ever. There's not that many Floyd tunes that are so great without a band of some kind anyway. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ;) I'm not an active musician or songwriter at all and when I do play for people intentionally it would usually be things that are more familiar. But every now and then somebody will hand me a guitar or just say "play us something". They know it's going to be oldies :) In the right situation as I accept I sometimes answer with the simple question; "Childhood's End?" Without allowing enough time for a response then I just start banging. I already saw the look in their eye. This is a tune that keeps giving and I'm trying to give them what it's giving you :)
