Has Pink Floyd's brilliance ever brought tears to your eyes?

When I was about 15 there was this time I listened to Dark side of the moon on my headphones under a park bench, I'd had a few cans and during us & them I felt overcome with emotion and as soon as any colour you like kicked in tears started to roll down my cheeks, I just couldn't handle floyd's sheer brilliance, it was like holding your baby for the first time - has this happened to anyone else listening to the FLOYD?

Not exactly......

But once I was driving west as the sun set behind the distant mountains , listening to DSOTM. "Brain damage" started as I squinted into the final rays of the setting sun. Then, "Eclipse" started after the sun had disappeared. One of the most brilliant sunsets I ever witnessed was spread across the sky as the boys sang MooooooooooOOOooooooOOOOOOoooon.........<thump/thump>.....<thump/thump>.....

I thought, "wow, cool."

I dropped my CD case for The Division Bell on my bare foot, right on my little toe, and it really hurt.. I almost cried then. Does that count?

I have to admit, 1994 at the concert, I was quite inebriated, when the guitar solo of On the Turning Away cranked up, I shed a tear or two. ...

When Jenny finally tells Forrest she loves him just before she dies of AIDS comes to mind.

Call me an idiot, but "The Final Cut" gets me teary-eyed sometimes

I think, maybe, yes. I can't remember. Possibly. 10 years ago, on a comedown, there's a chance. maybe. I dunno.

The ummagumma studio album made me cry once because it was the first time i heard that floyd could be so bad. AMLOR had a similar effect with me.

I felt much the same way with TFC, when I realized it was all downhill from there on.

No tears, though. Maybe a touch of indigestion.
