Pink Floyd Research Paper
Pink Floyd research paper
Hard at work in my room I was contemplating how to start my research paper off with a “BANG!”. When I realized, Pink Floyd’s music usually starts very slow and low. Without missing a beat, I picked up my acoustic guitar and began lightly strumming the intro to “wish you were here”. The light tones swept me to my high school years and brought back memories of movies, road trips accompanied by music such as this, music everyone can sing to, music that everyone can relate to. Then just as quickly as I was swept away, I was eerily back in my room where I was writing this paper. When I thought “what was roger waters thinking while writing the lyrics, and how did the unused sessions of the collaborated written music sound, did David Gilmour like a different guitar riff than waters, or were they unanimously in agreement?”. These were the strikes on my mental match that started the unstoppable Floyd fire which set my mind ablaze.
Pink Floyd over the 48 years of its existence has had five members in the group(all of which have been inducted in the rock & roll hall of fame), with its 'founder' being Syd Barrett (some argue roger waters had founder status as well, but I don't know because it wasn’t “Pink Floyd” until Barrett came up with the name). The four original members of Pink Floyd all met in London while going to school for their degrees. Syd Barrett, the original lead guitarist, met up with three men who were studying at the London Technical College for Architecture. These three were Roger Waters, the bass player, Rick Wright the keyboardist and finally a drummer named Nick Mason. All of the members of the band were originally from Cambridge apart from Rick Wright, who was from London. In fact Waters and Mason were friends at school and had spent most of their teenage life together. Waters and Barrett were childhood friends. Waters had usually visited Barrett and watched him play guitar at Barrett's mother's house. Mason said this
