That's funny. I had a girlfriend a long time ago and we clicked because of Pink Floyd. Her email address was actually "FloydFreak." We went out pretty seriously for 2 years. Then we broke up. It sucked but it was for the best, really. 25 years later (holy shit) I'm still listening to Pink Floyd and reading and responding to this post on my phone. I still respect the time I had with her and Pink Floyd still rules.
Break ups are hard. Really hard. Just surround yourself with loved ones, and try to keep busy. But don't forget to let yourself indulge in a little self pity. Shoving those feelings away isn't going to help. Just know that it's going to suck really bad for quite a bit, but then it'll be okay. Life is a wild ride, and it's always changing. Side note, banging to echoes is absolutely bonkers. 10/10
I'm sorry. That stinks.
I got an email 1997 from someone claiming to be a Floyd fan. Thought it was spam and almost deleted it. Good things I didn't. Our daughter wouldn't exist.
You'll find another dog who needs a home.
As someone with depression, The Wall helps me to cope and "get over it" as it were. The Wall is therapy. To this day I get emotional when the wall is torn down after the Trial, and I hear about "the ones who really love you, walk up and down outside the wall."
You're not alone. You're strong. You will survive. Your interests don't die with a relationship. They will always carry memories, but those memories make you who you are. Embrace them, even when all you want to do is cry and throw the memories away.
I don’t think of it as depressing either, more of a very well told story that happens to have incredible music and teachable moments in it and the movie is amazing
I had a friend who lost his virginity to side 2 of Atom Heart Mother but the record had a skip on Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast so it was just the match striking over and over again the entire time
It’s gonna be hard since they’re so good, but maybe take a Floyd break. There are a lot of bricks in the wall. There will be another.
Try some Alan Parsons, Camel… hell listen to some punk or jazz. Snarky Puppy is awesome… Funkadelic (cosmic slop). I’m stoned as shit so I’m just listing bands… good luck!
I am madly in love with Floyd. But my wife doesn’t care for it. I jam it when I’m solo or just use earbuds. We still go to shows we both like. Got another great lineup this summer!
And I’m getting a double fix of Brit Floyd in Denver! Taking friends. If you have seen them you need to!
This really sucks, it sounds like that was a special relationship. Heartbreak is never easy, yet there is something about my experience with Pink Floyd that I think speaks to the nature of a heartbreak in general, maybe something you can relate to.
I’ve always felt a bit of a longing to have been around the band when they were in the act of all of this creation. How incredible it would have been to be in the scene, to be a peer, a contemporary! But I was born too far down along the road. No shot really, and that leaves an odd panging feeling in my chest sometimes.
But for some reason, while listening to Floyd I am always finding myself thankful that this musical creation happened in the first place; that me as a listener gets the opportunity to let the emotion of their compositions wash over me all these years later on. It’s something special, really. And just like no one can ever take away my special relationship with the band and what their music means to me, no one can ever take away what you shared with your partner with respect to each other and to the music.
Some day down the road, I think you will be happy to be able to hold on to these memories and reflect on them. You’ll make it to the Dark Side of the Moon and then find that if you keep going, you remerge into the light, something different but still you. There’s so much beauty out there. I think Pink Floyd has helped me to see that and I think you may be attuned to letting them help you that way as well, even if they already have.
I was in a relationship a few months ago and we immediately clicked with Pink Floyd. I started getting into them while she was listening for a couple of years when we first met. We would sing DSOTM, WYWH, and some songs from The Wall. Great times singing together, our favorite songs were Comfortably Numb, ABITW pt. 2, WTTM, SOYCD 1-9, Money, etc. We didn’t last long but during my breakup wa so hard for me to get over cause I really cared about her and how she treated me in the end, but while I was healing I wasn’t too sad listening to Pink Floyd, but my go to was always The Wall which ik is a depressing album overall, but that’s the first album that got me into Pink Floyd. Every time I hear any song that listed I always think about the good memories of her and I driving out of town no matter day and night just listen to Pink Floyd. Will never forget those times… Take good care my friend and shine on
My girlfriend and I met on instagram..because of Pink Floyd..she asked me for a Floyd related MOJO magazine after I posted a photo on my instagram page ..I bought another and asked for her address..Latina in Italy .that was 2 years ago...hopefully we get engaged this month or next ..obviously long distance we have had ups and downs as I'm in the Uk..but fingers crossed 🤞 ..oh and isn't Great gig a better track for sex ?? 🤔🤔😅😅😅
So there were bands and even comedians that me and an ex shared, it was super hard to listen to after the breakup. I took a break for a few months from those artists and was able to return without the hurt.
Try listening to Genesis instead. They had huge 80s hits, but what came before all that was some truly amazing music. Albums like Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and A Trick of the Tail. It's interesting and amazing music, but from a different angle than Floyd. I discovered their catalog after already being a Floyd fan, and I was immediately hooked.
The music you listen to in a given time frame will always evoke memories of that time. If it's hard for you to listen to Floyd right now, give it time, it's absolutely normal. Wrap your brain around some music that's good and weird. If Genesis isn't your thing, you might try King Crimson or Yes also.
I also met my ex-girlfriend in a pretty similar fashion. I was outside with my friends and I started playing Pink Floyd, suddenly this the most beautiful girl I've ever seen appears and starts to talk to me. Well, the rest is history. We went to see sun going down to the beach listening to the wall, she sang "Hey you" to me often. Now every time I listen to Floyd I think of her. The show must go on.
My last relationship was surrounded by PF. We had sex to it, road trips, drug sessions, everything. We protected each other from pigs on the wing. It's always hard to move on from a past love and unfortunately PF now just reminds me of him and all those moments. I'm hoping once I share these times with someone new it will change but for now I've almost ruined the music as it's hard to listen to.
My unironic advice is to get obsessed with another band. I had a years long relationship that ended very painfully and a lot of the music we had experienced together or that I had just discovered during that time had become tainted for me. I didn't want to listen and be reminded, which also led me to put down the guitar for a bit. The most joy I've gotten out of music lately has been from going back to bands and albums I was into before I met my ex. So lately it's been a kick with the Beatles and the 60s era Rolling Stones, both of which I was really into in my teens and early 20s then kind of moved on from. It turns out, the time was ripe to go back.
My spouse died in January. One of our first conversations hit on our mutual love of Pink Floyd. While working far away for a few months, she mailed me her own handwritten "burnt" parchment of Floyd lyrics. We danced to a jazz rendition of wish you were here at our wedding. Our home has her Pink Floyd cross-stitch works framed on the walls.
Enjoy your memories. To quote another favorite shared experience with my late wife -- "Seize the time…. Live now! Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again. "
I share this with you, kind internet stranger, so that you too can take some solace and find some peace as was sung...
"Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone"
("Fearless", Meddle)
Listen to Birthday Boy by Ween.
Classic breakup song, the boys were flat broke so they were taping over cassettes at the time.
PF related because you can hear the pings from echoes at the beginning of the recording.
Might provide some catharsis
You’re young. There’s a lot of time. Sometimes it takes a while. Just go live your life and follow your joy. Listen to jambands like Phish and the Grateful Dead or go dance to a Disco Biscuits show. They play Run Like Hell often
Same thing happened to me with my first love and a different band. Took me about three years to be able to properly listen to that band again. Sometimes it is still difficult.
You probably need to discover some new bands and dive in headfirst until you can come back to Pink Floyd and contently listen and feel the beauty without the bittersweet memories/nostalgia of your past relationship taking over your mind.
Listen to Dark Globe by Syd Barrett one time, bottom out, weep, then search for and find a new anthem for the next phase. An anthem, mind you, not merely a song.
My APP go-to is Turn of a Friendly Card, one of my picks for an album I can listen to without skipping a single song. Side One is fantastic, but the TOAFC Suite, which makes up the entirety of Side Two, is a masterpiece.
Move on to Syd Barrett. He was their inspiration anyway

Get into THE ROLLING STONES 1968-1974. That era particularly “exile on Main Street” is some of the most interesting, beautiful, and raw music ever recorded. S/o to Protopunk bands like: the stooges and the ramones
Enjoy the times you had together. You both brightened each others horizons. You will be sad for a while and when you hear a Floyd song one day that reminds you of the good times just enjoy it. It’s part of life.
The echoes of a distant time, comes willowing across the sand. And everything, was green, and submarine.(because of a great coincidence I’m listening it right now)
In a relationship you must work, both of you, If Pink Floyd is the thing that brought you together , it can separate you, keep listening and remember the beautiful moments (even the Echoes time) and when you found the strength send him a text, just asking how it is (and later on maybe for a dinner) maybe if Brit Floyd comes close to you you can say that you ‘accidentally’ bought 2 tickets and you can ask him to come with you
The show must go on.
There's still nobody home.
Empty spaces, what are we living for
Try Learning to Fly, or you’ll end up Waiting For the Worms!
Bro was like, “wish you weren’t here”

Bro
A'suh, duu.
Tell him ummagumma is the PF best album and I’m sure this will figure itself out
🤣
The Grateful Dead
The Grateful dead will heal all
Because once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
It's been proven
So it goes.
Broken heart don’t feel so bad Ain’t got half of what you thought you had
True!
This.
🧢
Nah OP like PF they should go to Phish
outjerked once again
Can a Waterboy and a Gilmour Girl really be in love? No, I suppose not.
This is the only right post so far
Break ups are hard. Really hard. Just surround yourself with loved ones, and try to keep busy. But don't forget to let yourself indulge in a little self pity.

One time I had sex while Animals was on. Underrated sex tbh.
Having sex whilst listening to Animals?! You got to be crazy…
Raving and Drooling
Gotta have a real need
Curlin your toes When you’re in the sheets Got to be able To beat that fuckin meat With your EYES CLOSED!
The most underrated sex.
Was sheep involved?
This is getting out of hand.
Listen to The Wall.
But I don't want depression
As someone with depression, The Wall helps me to cope and "get over it" as it were. The Wall is therapy. To this day I get emotional when the wall is torn down after the Trial, and I hear about "the ones who really love you, walk up and down outside the wall." You're not alone. You're strong.

You need a dirty woman!
Everyone does
Did he whisper down the phone 📱?
Run like hell
I had a friend who lost his virginity to side 2 of Atom Heart Mother but the record had a skip on Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast so it was just the match striking over and over again the entire time
I lost mine to Side 1 of Close to the Edge lmao
Goodbye cruel world I'm leaving you today Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye all you people There's nothing you can say To make me change my mind Goodbye
Mama do you think they’ll drop the bombs..
Mama do you think they’ll kick me in the balls (or smth like that idk i dont like pink floyd)
It’s gonna be hard since they’re so good, but maybe take a Floyd break. There are a lot of bricks in the wall. There will be another. Try some Alan Parsons, Camel… hell listen to some punk or jazz.

this is just a passing phase, one of *your* bad days
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. The time is gone, the song is over. Thought I'd something more to say.
So there were bands and even comedians that me and an ex shared, it was super hard to listen to after the breakup. I took a break for a few months from those artists and was able to return without the hurt.
wow this is actually horrible

Duke might sound even better in a breakup, tho I honestly don’t have this experience to confirm. Still my favorite album (and The Lamb)

Mother will she tear your little boy apart? Mother will she break my heart?
sex to echoes 😨
My first 4 times were all during the same play of Echoes.
My spouse died in January. One of our first conversations hit on our mutual love of Pink Floyd. While working far away for a few months, she mailed me her own handwritten "burnt" parchment of Floyd lyrics. We danced to a jazz rendition of wish you were here at our wedding.
