A song written by Rick Wright looong before the name Pink Floyd had even came into existence. Although the credit was given to Syd upon release. Nevertheless quite a beautiful song. All the members of Floyd were equally talented for what they'd brought to the table. ~RIP~ Syd Barrett and Richard Wright.
Do you have a source on Rick wrighting it? (heh) just curious, I hadn't heard of this before and couldn't find anything that credited Wright. I do recall reading it was intended either as Syd or Rick's tribute to each other somewhere, but I don't know about that. The only full fledged "love" song to Syd was Oh! Wot a Dream which is such a great tribute. I always thought Kevin Ayers sounded like Syd in quite a few songs and wondered how much Syd influenced him, and then to come across that, it all made sense.
all of Rick's songs for Pink Floyd are beautiful and his first solo album Wet Dream shows his talent away from the restrictions of the Roger Waters machine. us and them us and them. Pink Floyd were us now Pink Floyd are them
Open your eyes and don't be blind can't you see we're two of a kind? I've got to say this, I hope you don't mind I love you, we're two of a kind Just ask yourself and you will find we go together, we're two of a kind no use protesting, be resigned baby you know, we're two of a kind I knew it when I saw you I felt it a little more when I talked with you at first all my blues dispersed I couldn't disguise my complete surprise when you were feeling it too I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you... Open your eyes and don't be blind can't you see we're two of a kind? I've got to say this, I hope you don't mind I love you, we're two of a kind
There's a bit of debate on who actually wrote this song: Syd or Rick Wright. Judging by the lyrics--specifically the lack of surrealism and psychedelia--it sounds like a Rick song. Either way, it's still a great song.
I remember buying this when it came out. Bob Dylans Blues is great too. I wonder if there other songs like this that are unreleased that David Gilmour has in the vault
She Was a Millionaire (not one in a million, which exists as a live song, but is unrelated) was supposed to be the follow up single to See Emily Play. It was mostly finished and was generally felt that it was some of Syd’s best work. Unfortunately, before it could be fully completed Syd started getting unwell and the band had decided to take their music in other directions and it was never finished. The tapes are believed to have been destroyed. But, who knows.
@@jamesmckean3221 yes I quite like birdie hop, one of his more bizarre songs but it has a happy and cheerful feel with eerie undertones, something he was very good at doing with other songs such as Flaming and Effervescing elephant. I don't often listen to Birdie Hop and will admit it's my least favourite, but I don't dislike it, rather there's a time and a place for it, whereas most of the others I can listen to anytime.
@@ALPHONSO_NANOOK Never confirmed. Syd said he wrote it himself, Rick said he was looking into it in the 90s but nothing ever came of it. They could've written it together.
Syd Barett and Pink Floyd were a good match!!! The healthy Syd was very creative. Unfortunately he had the wrong friends. His sister Rosmarie once said: His bad times started with Pink Floyd. I would say: His bad times started in the shared flat where Syd lived. He hung out too much with junkies. His two solo albums should have been recorded with Pink Floyd, they would have been better musically. Syd Barett could have become something real. Drugs ruin your life. He failed as a painter and musician. I am interested in how Syd lived with his illness?? Did he ever have therapy???
But I'm Gemini...does that make 3...it's that silly Rabbit I knew it...he just can't keep track of time...we'll have to ask Alice about you... toe knee

@@Valientlink Richard Wright talks about it in this interview: "PINK FLOYD'S RICHARD WRIGHT FULL UNCUT INTERVIEW". in minute 6:40 mark.

us and them
us and them.
Pink Floyd were us
now Pink Floyd are them
I can really hear the influence Syd had on Bowie with this song.
@@anthonytownsend9717 I know he did (apparently, Syd took credit for it for some reason), but it's Syd bringing it to life and making it his own.
I love you, Syd. We're two of a kind
He could create amazing melodic stuff and it's poetry
Got the Syd Barrett blues, and the Syd Barrett shoes, and my clothes and my hair's in a mess....
But, you know, I just couldn't care less
Still rockin it in shitty 2020
Open your eyes and don't be blind
can't you see we're two of a kind?
I've got to say this, I hope you don't mind
I love you, we're two of a kind
Just ask yourself and you will find
we go together, we're two of a kind
no use protesting, be resigned
baby you know, we're two of a kind
I knew it when I saw you
I felt it a little more when
I talked with you at first
all my blues dispersed
I couldn't disguise
my complete surprise
when you were feeling it too
I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you...
Open your eyes and don't be blind
can't you see we're two of a kind?

Probably the lyrics are Rick's and the music is Syd's
classic sound of Syd Barrett !!!
Syd Barrett!
Happy birthday man
When I was younger: "Who is singing with Syd? I gotta find out..."
Lol
thought it wuz me
·
i think its double tracked
Its Roger Barrett
Two of a kind YOU'LL SEE 😜😘❤️💯🖖😎
only 458 thumbs up @2019? RIP Syd
I couldn't disguise
my complete surprise ♥
Hi!
So muss es sich wohl anhören, wenn die Englein singen... : )
Great!!!!!! Love this both voices singing together to a wonderful melody...
Open your eyes, and don't be blind.
This song tugs at my heartstrings.
This song sounds a lot like Dominoes to me. Actually this was written by Richard Wright according to him from an interview he did with John Edgington.
I believe Rick Wright and Syd Barrett collaborated on this song.
A great chat-up line of a song!
I remember buying this when it came out. Bob Dylans Blues is great too. I wonder if there other songs like this that are unreleased that David Gilmour has in the vault
I hope by some miracle She Was a Millionaire will be found.
@@SukkaPunch321 what's the story on that

I know he has I get stoned alone
All My Blue's Desperados
great cd. bought it at everyday music.
good tune
I really love this song
There isn't a Syd song that I don't like
Not even "Birdie Hop"?

I can relate to your feeling very well. I like every outtake and version of his songs. Each has unique style, catching brief moment of Syd's view.
This song was written by Richard Wright

Hi This Is Pink Floyd🤩
We are we are.
Excepted end. #29
Coposition of Richard Wright , he says in the interview of 1 Hr and 20 minutes.
This song was actually written by Richard Wright. Somehow cretited to Syd Barrett.
Earth was shapeless
I like this
NO THE EARTH IS FLAT lol no the earth is an icosahedron

Wann ist der Song den auf den Markt gekommen??
Syd was unique ! He was really one of a kind! But this one is by Rick Wright ... ;)
Rick wrote this if I'm not wrong
Rick Wright actually wrote this one.
222 goon inn 223 because I liked it. Numbers baby
But I'm Gemini...does that make 3...it's that silly Rabbit
I knew it...he just can't keep track of time...we'll have to
ask Alice about you...

eternal mystery...who wrote that song - Rick or Syd????? in my opinion it is Barrett's song but....who can really tell?
Wright.
Wright lo contó en una entrevista,que él la compuso no recuerdo cual de los documentales lo dijó.
Syd must have wrote the music. The lyrics have an unsophosticated quality, a bit unlike Syd.
Lyrics and music by Wright.Wright said only "Two of Kind".But Barrett was sick.,very bad.
Syd of course
Because it's interesting...
Rick Wright's song. Syd was so out of it he actually thought he had written it himself.
I also believe I had heard somewhere that Rick Wright had given it to him intentionally out of kindness.
Probably: the music was composed by Barrett and the lyrics by Wright
@@pasqualemuzzupappa8596 it deffo sounds like Wright lyrics
Yep
not bad.
For the record - Wright wrote this number
Anyway, this song was wrote by Rick...
Words and music by Rick Wright
+axlmartin12 Written by R Wright
how do you know? when i search for the lyrics there is written the songwriter is Syd, so I just wonder :)
The lyrics probably by Rick and the music by Syd!
Pasquale Muzzupappa that sounds likely enough, thanks!
Yes Wright written.Barrett only sing.Barrett was junk.
2 1 0
Actually, this was written by Rick Wright before he joined Floyd....
Actually written by Rick Wright.
Richard Wright actually wrote this song.
Sounds like every Brit-Pop band to get fame in the late 80s-mid 90s copied this entire song
who is the back vocal
David Gilmore
Gilmore
overdubbing of his voice......
@@Greg9242 no
@@Greg9242 no
Sounds female?
Higher register x
I know nothing
This is so gloriously flat. That said, it was apparently written by Rick Wright, but Syd either forgot or just blatantly stole it.
Rick wrote the lyrics and Syd the music
David Gilmore and syd singing together.
No.
Richard Wright actually wrote this song.
