PINK FLOYD 'Breathe' from 'Dark Side Of The Moon' (1973)
I was also bornt in 1973 so it has been very difficult to choose a track from that year because in my opinion it is one of the best years in rock music history: Led Zeppelin's 'Houses Of The Holy", The Who's 'Quadrophenia', The Stooges' 'Raw Power'or '(pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd)' by Lynyrd Skynyrd among many others. But finally I have choosen a song by Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon', my favorite PF album.
The song I have choosen is 'Breathe'. Why? From the first time I listened to Pink Floyd, I associated the band with WHITE colour. Listening to most songs of the band help me to relax, they bring me peace (not all of them, some are even disturbing). I love rock and I love skiing, and in late '80s and early '90s I used to go skiing at least once a month during winter. Those days I had a Walkman. For young people, just let me explain you that a (Sony) Walkman was a gadget to play the music recorded in a cassette.
So I used to go skiing with my Walkman, listening to Pink Floyd while going up & down the mountains.
Nowadays, when I listen to Pink Floyd, memories of those years come to my mind.

HAHA.... oh the joy of the Walkman. If you never had a Walkman, you have never lived.
I git this when I was 9 (I think).... back in 1982
That second grey box to the right was an extra battery pack... it took 2x D-cell batteries. The idea was that if the batteries within the Walkman ran out, you had this extra battery pack to power your Walkman... and just neatly clips onto your belt next to your walkman... Can you imagine carrying all that gear around just to listen to just 90 minutes or less of music???
Pink Floyd. The BEST. Dark Side was my 'gateway' also, although that was much later in the misty times of CD's..... I was going to choose a track from this album, but I've already chosen Time for a previous track in the mixtape.
Possibly the best album release of 1973? I'm calling it......
Never knew about the extra battery!
We were so happy to have 90 minutes of music while going for a walk or a run.
How many great moments I enjoyed with Walkmans!
I love pink floyd! After smoking a joint, who would not go to the dark side of the moon while enyoing the song!
