Watching some reaction videos of people discovering Pink Floyd, one of them made an observation that clicked during "Time". That Pink Floyd likes to first set the mood with the opening, then drop a few profound lyrics, and follow with a long solo that sets a mood of introspection where your mind goes back to those lyrics letting them hit harder during the musical interlude...then they follow with deeper lyrics to hit again.

I'll admit that I'm one of those who enjoyed Pink Floyd when I was younger mainly because of the music. It's coming around again and the lyrics are now my focus because some of it hits far harder once you have experience in life.

It always feels like I'm in a long trance when listening to their music. It just flows.
