If you're going for Pink Floyd, man, sometime you just GOTTA listen to Echoes at the peak of a trip. What total joy and ecstasy, it is incomparable.
Once at 19yo on perhaps my first truly psychedelic trip on real LSD, it had been a sort of gloomy AM, then suddenly, just at the crest of a wave in the acid, as I did a hit of nitrous, the clouds broke and and early AM sun suddenly BURST! thru the window... making beams thru the plants outside, and there was pot smoke and lots of swirling dust particles sparkling and swirling in the sunbeams like they do... right as the chords shifted into the glorious major key and the words went:
...you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning...
Man it was sooo flawless, it seemed a moment arranged by the gods or something, it must have been, I was totally convinced it was so!... I just got all sorts of rushes and tingles and could not stop grinning like a madman the rest of the day! Total Magic!
Echoes, by Pink Floyd

(fairly cool visuals too, though I don't know why that blonde chick keeps showing up haha... mainly this version is good for HQ Stereo sound and the full 15min song.... play, then pause, then switch to 720p HD resolution - menu below and to the right - and let it all buffer up if necessary and play)
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.
And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
