Remember when you were young? Pink Floyd’s wish you were here

I can’t remember the first time I listened to Wish You Were Here.

Anticlimactic, I know.

I do know I was around fifteen or sixteen, and I remember that it came after my mum picked me up a CD copy of Dark Side Of The Moon one day. I’d been getting more and more into what was seen back then as the ‘alternative’ scene, waking up early for school just to fit in an hour of Kerrang! or MTV2. I’d bought my first CD’s- Absolution by Muse and The White Stripes’ Elephant– pretty tame stuff to me now, but back then music like that pulled me in for sounding weird and dark.
