I remember as a schoolboy some thirty odd years ago, our music teacher playing a few "Floyd" tracks, and asking us what we thought they meant? How does it make you feel? Well, he may have well been asking us about quantum mechanics and how it all worked.... We didn't have a clue, and why should we, we were after all just school kids, we had no concept of most of what they sang about, and didn't much care. If he were to ask me now, well maybe I would be able to answer him, at least in part anyway.
This isn't "pop" music, it isn't "easy listening", it is a tapestry, a work of art, something to immerse yourself in, and if you are lucky, or unlucky, depending on your point of view, you will see and maybe understand where Mr Waters is trying to take you, and maybe you can empathise with the characters.
I started to seriously "listen" to Floyd and Waters (Post Floyd) about twenty years ago. I find for me that it is (all) best enjoyed alone, when I am feeling mellow, maybe with a glass of scotch or a "special" cigarette....... The depth of emotion that this music can bring forth is astounding. In a darkened room, a quality sound system, no distractions... well it has taken me places far more than any movie ever could. Yes, I wish my old music teacher would ask me again how it makes me feel.
I'm not saying you need to have a few years of good life experience to enjoy the music, there are after all some stunning sounds here, but to fully appreciate it in its entirety, I would say that it helps.
