My absolute favorite childhood memory is chilling with my best friends at Gaar Creek. I have a really hard time describing what it was like, but I had my entire life ahead of me. All my desires were fulfilled, I was truly happy. It was also when I first listened to Dark Side of the Moon. At that age I thought it just sounded cool. So I enjoyed it for its aesthetic sound. I could never go back to Gaar Creek, but I still had Darkside of the Moon. I listened to that for nostalgia. As I grew older, I started to understand the philosophical implications of the album. I now find it ironic that as I was seeking a time in which I was so carefree and bright eyed through an album that agrued that nostalgia pressures you to live in the past. In effect wasting your time.
