an artist makes music, that doesnt mean he is an entertainer, he just was gracious enough to share his art. I dont think personally syd wanted to do shows or any tours or interviews or any of that i think syd just wanted to play guitar and paint in a garden. Theres alot of talk of whatever happened with him, but i like to believe he just wasnt into making money performing music over and over or trying to be on the radio or make a hit record. I think he just liked art.
I think you're absolutely right. From what I've read I have the impression he really wasn't interested in the PR side of music, and being dragged around with the band to gigs and interviews etc actually did him a lot of damage and contributed to his disintegration. His sister said that once he was out of that scene and allowed to just enjoy his art on his own, he made a significant recovery.
tjf4375 I agree, on the song 'birdie hop' he sings 'I'm the only bird, a little third I had a yearning to be earning just a dollar a day and in a way you shouldn't like it; hectrachrome plane' I think he was solely an artist first, and everything else just didn't matter as much as making art he was proud of.
Yeah after reading about him enough I got the same impression. He was probably open to the music industry to start with but quickly discovered it wasn't his thing.
Nice. And when she is 5: “ Dad! What does it mean?: Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth, the fins aluminous Fangs all 'round, the clam is dark, below the boulders hiding all” 😅
This song just embodies those 4pm/5pm summer afternoons for me - when you've spent most of the day in bed floating around in your own thoughts, the room bathed in golden sunlight 🌞
Check out their early stuff! Syd is only on Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and half of Saucerful of Secrets, but there is a ton of stuff that's been released of earlier stuff they played around with prior to that, going back to 1965. Piper is 1967, Saucerful is 1968. After David Gilmour joined in 68, they created some incredible ethereal, spacy, experimental stuff. Check out Live At Pompeii, Atom Heart Mother, the soundtracks they did (More and Zabriskie Point) and the rest of what they did prior to Dark Side of the Moon. There's so much great stuff.
Fuck yeah. Im sitting here in the wee hours of the morning learning how to play this tune by ear and I can feel Syd looking at me and saying "Thats a good bit there, Mate". What an eerie fucking masterpiece this song is. And whoever plays behind him is doing some extremely cool, understated lines that really add to the tune. I can imagine the dude just looking at Syds hands the whole time trying to keep track of the chord changes which have some randomness and are complete with fuckups that you dont really hear but just add another dimension to the song. That's a real rock star there, someone who can make a fuckup sound cool and in the pocket. Imagine if this song could have gotten the whole Pink Floyd treatment... could have just been massive. Instead its this eerie bedroom song, floating, bumping luminous.
"Did you ever feel like you got beat up// when all you did was wake up// then looked in the mirror and saw// dried tear streaks from your mascara make-up// All I ever wanted was a heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone// The dream of love was so much better before I'd grown// It's all very tough on me// and I'm feelin' really sore// will someone save my soul and close memory's door// All I ever wanted was heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone" ME\\\\\ “Rains of Sweet May that tickle the sea // On rose dewy dreams you’ll find all of me// In the dark blue wood willow we play// When the sky’s pink haze over laughing land lay// The blaze of brook-land feeds off absinthe green fire// Look for the pearl that sails for silver desire//// Dreaming of dreams stained veiled time// Created the weave of heart’s daring climb //// Butterfly soft your kaleidoscope kiss- Golden true eyes under lashes of mist- Golden jewel spies under splashes of wish- Orange you love all that I missed” ME
One of my favourite songs ever by Syd. He was such an unrealised talent, very sad what happened to him. This is still one of my favourite love songs of all time, it's so hypnotic. I don't know any other songs which blend the theme of love songs and psychedelia so well. I think it's so genius, I wish we could have had more from Syd but i'm grateful for everything he gave us and I hope he found peace in his life after his music career.
I'm the ultimate Syd bore and I didn't know that. I like it cos the lyrics are more of his vegetable man/ scarecrow thing - thinking less and less. We're the fishes, etc
@@nvoid2597 No.... not acid. Syd was stoned on "Mandies" nearly every day. What's a "Mandie?" That's the British name for "Quaalude." That's why it sounds so HYPNOTIC. Quaalude, which is no longer available, is a SEDATIVE and HYPNOTIC. It was very popular during that era. Syd's eyes became " EMPTY BLACK SAUCERS" because of "MANDIES," not LSD. People would speak to him and he'd look right through them, or ramble for a moment and walk away. He wasn't schizophrenic or insane- he was STONED on MANDIES and beer. Syd LOVED DRINKING BEER as well. Take about 5 Valium and drink 3 beers- you'll be SOUNDING just like SYD is here- very HYPNOTIC.
Discovered this song when Frusciante played it last Friday at River Plate, it's sad i didn't knew about it before the show, it's growing really quickly on me as the track itself tears you apart, let alone the nostalgia from that night... They went from this straight to Strip my Mind. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Cried a lot during the show but this was just different, as the moon grew bigger in the sky and the clouds started clearing with a cold breeze from everyone at the stadium just coming down from the higher-energy Pepper's songs... Such a healing and almost magical experience, thank you Syd for the song and thank you John for presenting it to me in such a way..
The greatest lyricist and an acoustic guitarist of a generation... The poems he puts together and the way he makes a guitar sound mystifying is complete genius... Yes, he did acid, but he wasn't a human guinea pig for the stuff... He didn't live in a perpetual hallucinogenic state for 50 years, as some would like to imagine... His genius will be missed but his music is still with us... RIP the Madcap...
He was pretty far gone actually. He would mix qualudes in his hair cream, and it would melt under the stage lights and absorb into the skin of his face. He would spend entire gigs playing 1 note over and over again, or detuning his guitar. Even years after he was still a mess. Several years after his departure from the band, he was spotted in a London clothing store. He asked to try on 3 suits of vastly different sizes, pronounced them all a perfect fit, and left without buying anything. Decades later his mind started to come back, but by that point he was really sick from complications of type 2 Diabetes and he had no desire to make music.
@@ender26 I've previously read this. This is not anything new... and I've yet to see those performances- they've been sequestered. There are many myths and justifications for removing "SYD"... and Waters is no stranger to either. Waters was an ASSHOLE then... and remains an ASSHOLE.
I love you too Syd aka Roger Keith Barrett. My hair is on end about you too. Thanks for letting me know that you love me Syd..You are the most beautiful man in the world. Your music is magic!
The Barrett Floyd almost makes the wildly famous Floyd sound conventional. Serious avant garde music here. I borrowed a Barrett lp from a brother in law years ago(not this one;it was a double) and was fascinated by it. It has its moments. Barrett had a big influence on several artists. David Bowie admitted that he adopted a singing style similar to Barrett's.

I miss the year 2020 because the first time I knew this song was in March of Corona😢 I was 12 and a half years old. Time passes quickly. I remember the first time I heard it. The rain was falling and the sky was black, even though it was only 4 o’clock. I felt like I was in a dream. Once upon a time, was there an injection? Almost 4 years had passed. 😮
I really love you and I mean you The star above you, crystal blue Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you... I wouldn't see you and I love to I fly above you, yes, I do Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you... Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth The fins are luminous Fangs all 'round the clown Is dark below the boulders hiding all The sunlight's good for us 'Cause we're the fishes and all we do The move about is all we do Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you... Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth The fins are luminous Fangs all 'round the clown Is dark below the boulders hiding all The sunlight's good for us 'Cause we're the fishes and all we do The move about is all we do Well, oh, baby, my hairs on end about you... I really love you and I mean you The star above you, crystal blue Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...
i just think it is a groovy sound. the sunlight is good for us. my understanding is that he is playing the telecaster without any amplification. that is how he gets that weird guitar sound. i have played electric guitars with no amp many times. but i have never mic'ed it to get that sound.
There is a faster paced version of this song on the "Sights and Sounds of Pink Floyd" album that features Barret or one of the other vocalists making "puh-pah" sounds int he background similar to "Pow R Toc H" on Pipers.
simple and beutifull album ! but i have to say it drugs ends with everybody every beautiful thing, a big up from peru to everybody that is reading this on quarantaine
Poor Syd,guy clearly had mountains of talent-David Gilmour reckons he could have been up there with Bob Dylan if he hadn't gone insane. Yet even so I still hear his influence now and then in modern bands. Personally I just can't get this song out of my head.
A friend let me borrow the album “Picnic, A Breath Of Fresh Air” by various artists and this track was on it. This was in 1970 and something about this song captivated me. However, with the passing of time, I completely forgot about it I’m ashamed to say. Then, about ten years ago, I saw it on You Tube. Needless to say I listened to it straight away and was completely captivated once again. So thanks, you tube, and you can rest assured that I won’t forget about it this time. In fact this is my favourite song of all time!

LSD disrupted his position. Love Syd. Phishs encore was “terrapin”
I sing this song almost every night, to put my daughter to sleep. She sleeps like a baby ☺️
One of the most beautiful things I've ever read

Never heard anything this hypnotic in 27 years of my life 😳, I feel I'm perfect now with this playing endlessly
The first couple of geetarsongs I learned to play were Syd's. Lucifer Sam and Baby Lemonade
Founder of Pink Floyd, listen to their very early albums, try Cirrus Minor.

I’m a casual Pink Floyd fan and this is the first song I’ve ever heard is Syd’s post-Floyd career. MAN this is ethereal and unique!
Yeah I’m in the same position and this is such a beautiful song
It is the sixth of January 2020. Syd would have been 74 today. RIP Syd.
Oh syd man. U were way ahead of ur time in a good way, we all love you. Rest in peace, shine as bright as the sun🌞
Or as bright as a Diamond...
This song is beautiful, strange, otherworldly, and has this "light danger" about it, that's how the electric guitar creeping in sounds to me.
the little pauses are brilliant, i like to imagine him throwing them in there just to put the other players off a little, cheeky chappy.
Creepy little pauses...
They are comical as well as being extremely effective,imo.

"Did you ever feel like you got beat up// when all you did was wake up// then looked in the mirror and saw// dried tear streaks from your mascara make-up// All I ever wanted was a heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone// The dream of love was so much better before I'd grown// It's all very tough on me// and I'm feelin' really sore// will someone save my soul and close memory's door// All I ever wanted was heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone" ME\\\\\ “Rains of Sweet May that tickle the sea // On rose dewy dreams you’ll find all of me// In the dark blue wood willow we play// When the sky’s pink haze over laughing land lay// The blaze of brook-land feeds off absinthe green fire// Look for the pearl that sails for silver desire//// Dreaming of dreams stained veiled time// Created the weave of heart’s daring climb //// Butterfly soft your kaleidoscope kiss- Golden true eyes under lashes of mist- Golden jewel spies under splashes of wish- Orange you love all that I missed” ME
Still bumping in 2020
I miss the year 2020 because the first time I knew this song was in March of Corona😢 I was 12 and a half years old. Time passes quickly. I remember the first time I heard it. The rain was falling and the sky was black, even though it was only 4 o’clock. I felt like I was in a dream. Once upon a time, was there an injection? Almost 4 years had passed. 😮
Good boy.
Great taste.
i cant _not_ be sad listening to this...
I really love you and I mean you
The star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...
I wouldn't see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes, I do
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you...
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
The fins are luminous
Fangs all 'round the clown
Is dark below the boulders hiding all
The sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
The move about is all we do
Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
The fins are luminous
Fangs all 'round the clown
Is dark below the boulders hiding all
The sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
The move about is all we do
Well, oh, baby, my hairs on end about you...
I really love you and I mean you
The star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...
Love this song,
Thank you Syd
I thought he was singing “my hares are mad about you.”
@Im Everywhere I hear it now lol. But I like the idea that it’s an Alice in Wonderland metaphor.
@Im Everywhere I think of the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland lol. I know the song has nothing to do with that though.
I love you Syd. Thanks to David Gilmour for his help on this album
Still have this on red Vinyl. One of the few I didn't throw away.
THAT'S COOL!!
Brilliant songwriting
This song is very relaxing and chill.
Syd is loved here in omaha nebraska forever brother!!!
Magic
Raw and chaotic it may be...also happens to be one of my all-time favorites
The BBC Session is even better.
A brittle, yet gorgeous song
His vibes in his solo albums are great, but on the Pink Floyd early years & the piper at the gates of dawn its just so wonderful
i just think it is a groovy sound. the sunlight is good for us. my understanding is that he is playing the telecaster without any amplification. that is how he gets that weird guitar sound. i have played electric guitars with no amp many times. but i have never mic'ed it to get that sound.
I did... when I recorded this song 😁
Not a patch on Syd though, but what do you expect? 😑
Wonderful stuffx❤️💋
Doesnt get much more stark than that does it?
I love everyone who understands this type of music , that means you where almost as High as Me ,😬 , ...
Syd é meu parceiro nesta quarentena CARA TINHA MUITO BRILHANTE
Love this song!
There is a faster paced version of this song on the "Sights and Sounds of Pink Floyd" album that features Barret or one of the other vocalists making "puh-pah" sounds int he background similar to "Pow R Toc H" on Pipers.
Over many years, this is the one Barrett tune that stays with me. It is lovely and hypnotic.
simple and beutifull album ! but i have to say it drugs ends with everybody every beautiful thing, a big up from peru to everybody that is reading this on quarantaine
75, happy b-day Syd ❤️
Simply a great song.
Poor Syd,guy clearly had mountains of talent-David Gilmour reckons he could have been up there with Bob Dylan if he hadn't gone insane. Yet even so I still hear his influence now and then in modern bands. Personally I just can't get this song out of my head.
I've had octopus on my mind for about two weeks now since hearing it (again) on radio Bristol.
Love it all.
No
@@charlesbates2327 yeah, man, it was actually Octopus that turned me onto
Syd Barrett...
i miss u syd
Syd you are missed I live you
Wooooow
The line about the fishes seems to have been referenced in the song Wish You Were Here.
sublime music
happy birthday crazy diamond!
ai Syd, você faz tanta falta
We didn’t deserve you Syd
If your listening to this for the first time and like it I urge you to buy his first two albums which are both stonewall classics.
Im gonna be buying them on cd soon!
Whats the titles of his previous stuff ,
Would love to listen to them
Madcap Laughs 1970,Barrett 1970, Opel 1988, Relics 1971,Piper at the gates of Dawn and Pink Floyd early recordings 2016 are essential Syd Barrett.
A friend let me borrow the album “Picnic, A Breath Of Fresh Air” by various artists and this track was on it. This was in 1970 and something about this song captivated me.
However, with the passing of time, I completely forgot about it I’m ashamed to say.
Then, about ten years ago, I saw it on You Tube. Needless to say I listened to it straight away and was completely captivated once again.
So thanks, you tube, and you can rest assured that I won’t forget about it this time. In fact this is my favourite song of all time!
Yes, a great compilation album. This track and the Edgar Broughton band track.
Syd просто лучший
Happy birthday Syd!
Happy Birthday, Syd!
Haunting
syd is pure GOLD !!!!
This song is so sound haunting.
I love it.
