like its good music. i know.
but what is it that makes it sound above and beyond when you are high??? like if i was to listen to a good rap song (maybe the Roots) high, it wouldn’t be as good as Pink Floyd high. is it because the musicians created the music when they were on drugs… i don’t get it! its great though.

    its to do with the frequencies and your body/brain – both of the music and how your body changes when any chemical or energy is able to affect it.
    frequencies make you feel good, cats purr to heal themselves, we hum when happy, meditation people use chanting
    it sounds good because the frequency is correct for the human body, if they created it on drugs then it would be more tuned for people in that frequency
    a lions bass roar can freeze an animial – a high pitch scream stops us in our tracks
    a wonderful peice of music fells you with warmth and energy and happiness – that is just your body converting the emf into energy
    at the end of the day it does still sound great :)

    here’s some phat trippy **** because I know where it’s at, trust me.
    The Owl by Silver Apples (and the rest of their stuff)
    all songs by Messer Chups (crazy *** Russian electronic surf rock)
    A Tribe Called Quest (if you’re into old school rap, even if you aren’t they sound 10x better high)
    Captain Beefheart, especially all songs on the album Trout Mask Replica (I think this would be more your style)
    Cibo Matto (japanese chicks mmmm…)
    and of course Bootsy Collins and Bjork.
    ALL of these artists are amazingly trippy to the naked ear, but your soul will be shaken to new and bubblier heights once you hit that bubbler and take a listen!!
    Trust me dude, when I listen to Silver Apples when I’m broiled I feel it all in my body and it just lifts me up like the breeze.

    It’s because songs like comfortably numb are so relaxing and almost feel like the way you are feeling. I remember drinking my grandmothers dandelion wine and listening to comfortably numb and dream weaver and feeling so spaced out and just euphoric. I was 13 years old and stole it from her basement. I remember it like it was yesterday and I haven’t been high for at least 20 years. I am 39 now. I still get the urge once and a while but I have two kids and I just don’t want to be a bad role model. I know exactly what you mean about the music. Sometimes I listen to comfortably numb and just think about getting high – it’s like it has a subliminal message in it or something.

    That’s some of the reason. You also have to look at the artists background and the way the music is orchestrated. Pink Floyd is good because it’s not just a solid beat through and people singing. The music is just as center stage as the vocals, if not bigger. It’s constantly changing and with the changing of the sounds, the mood changes as well. When you are high you are more in sync with that kind of stuff.

    Taking drugs is the closest that most people get to being as insane as Syd Barrett was.
    I have a plethora of mental health quirks, one of which is that I can get delusional and paranoid. And I actually can’t listen to Pink Floyd when I’m high, because it’s too scary. I can only listen to them sober. And I think the reason for that is that I understand all too well what the mad mind is like.

    if you’re talking about dark side of the moon… listening to the first track all the way to the end it’s really cool… like the first song “breath”… its so relaxing… and it flows into the next song which sounds kinda weird and futuristic.. if you’re stoned and you’ve got surround sound it sounds AMAZING. then it flows into the song “time” and with actual clocks ticking and it scares the **** out of you if you’re volumes up… and at the end of the song, it somehow flows back into the same rhythm of “breath” and you’re like wtf i just heard that song and now it’s at the end of this song?!!?!? but you’re high and it sounds good so you’re like screw it… this is badass. then comes track number 4… ” great gig in the sky” my personal fav. it sounds so beautiful…. its a lady singing a bunch of Ooooh Ooohs and Aaaahs and it sounds kinda like she’s having an orgasm but it sounds kinda soulful.. hah. all of the music is really relaxing and it has a slightly ambient twist. it’s the kind of music i’d listen to if i was floating around in space…

    Syd Barrett was high all the time. He wrote most of the original Pink Floyd music. When he, ah … em, “retired” (went nuts) the band continued building on what he initiated. To the best of my limited knowledge, they weren’t known for lots of drug use.

    Listening to music that you really like causes brain chemicals called Endorphins. These are feel good chemicals, dancing and exercise build the same and make you feel good also.

  10. mmm73181 says:

    It has to be in your personal taste because I hate pink floyd and it does not sounds good to me, high or sober. David Lee Roth era Van Halen on the other hand… I agree otherwise with the person who talked about endorphins.

    the mood you’re in while listening to it matches the mood they were in when they wrote it.

    It is poetic. It plays on the senses. Enjoy!
