Hold on and please listen to the music! by Milota Sidorova

It’s not anything special, on the contrary this happens everywhere and to everyone.
When a couple of creative elements meet, their inner force and lows keep day-to-day balance. Sometimes, perfectly in tune, the other time, all the mystery turns into hellish race of individual desires.
However, that’s life.

Last days, seems like magic, I’ve been talking with my boyfriend about Pink Floyd. We were memorizing those several facts and ocean of fantasies and emotions of their prophetical music. Well, I must admit, still I feel like a product of my era – so distant from real Pink Floyd visions and thought. At maximum I can pay tribute to their work that fortunately remains out of time.

Now, I look at my screen, listen to the radio and suddenly get to know that Richard Wright died of cancer in his house. Somehow, it made a great impact on me. I didn’t really pay attention to PF, nor they are one of my favorites, but you know that strangely unfamiliar feeling of synchronized time, act and consequences...

Trying to get wiser to at least talk to friends in sort of relevant discussion, I’ve revised a history of this very peaceful bright man. And it’s a fact Wright was kind of a off stage element. According press he had the lowest credit from the entire group.
However, how does one say such thing?
This guy had probably never understood a single tune of music.

Wright, in last decades seen as silver haired man, fortificated in the walls of keyboards had made his own way. He started play without any teacher, but as soon as PF started his musical contribution seemed to be irretrievable. More than songwriting and singing that has always been only a side effect his advantage remained long, epic compositions, excellent tune, beautiful harmonies pulsating in beats of Waters, Mason, Gilmour and Barrett.

As soon as psychadelic Barrett left the band and Waters started to dominate even more, the creative process seemed to begin. Just before the Wall release, Wright left the band as well – by the way he was the only one from origin members who missed the movie premiere in 1982. Wright pulled his own strings and started his up and down solo career. He made his first Wet Dream, followed with several different projects (Identity, Broken China…) until he finally established the final, however temporary probably the best partnership he’s ever made. David Gilmour, the old friend and easy to get on with partner. They participated on Live 8 London sessions and released famous P•U•L•S•E DVD.

From a distant point of view, seemed as time went by the more conscious in his music career Wright has been. Literally, he died while working on new solo project aimed to be released by 2008.
Wright died, leaving things undone. However, his message remains.
Could you just count the number of young pianists going crazy for the style of this medially not enough attractive man?
