Now, that is what I call writing with craft!!!! There is telling a story, and there's telling it with magic.....this is the latter!!!
Really wonderful song with levels. The surface is fun and care-free, but underneath is a story of nostalgia and yearning.

You never miss, my friend!!! Take care. Greg

So very nice of you to say, Greg....

The way you describe ‘a couple beers and a little weed’ perfectly encapsulates some personal fond memories for me.
I thought that it was going to be a folk song at first and then the drums and banjo take it in a new direction . Then half way into the second verse the rock guitars enter the fray and the song builds in a delightfully interesting and unexpected way (for me).
I must admit that I was hoping to hear some of Pete's ganja inspired leads, but no biggie. smile
Great song Floyd and surely creating a song at this juncture serves as your most eloquent form of rebellion against the unwelcome intrusion of Milton and Helene.

Thanks, Izzy. Nice to find that people are finding this relatable (since I made it all up smile )
We'll get to those ganja leads down the road...
