This is an icredibly difficult piece of vocal music to perform without sounding completely out of tune and mental. Yet Syd does it very well. Maybe it takes a man of unstable mind to truly express potentially unstable music. Maybe Syd didn't go completely mad, maybe in his genius he saw something that he realised none of us ought to know and knew he should keep shtum. Maybe he spent the rest of his days in content peacefulness, eating sweats and quietly laughing to himself.
“Please hold on to the steel rail” “Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail?’ (Wish You Were Here) I like to think this was a loving reference to Syd by his former band mates
I can't believe someone (not this one obviously) post this without the first 25 seconds. These first 25 seconds matters equally as much as the rest of the piece. I wonder what part Syd wanted to cut, the introduction?
Unfortunately in Syds head it sounded like the production of a Pink Floyd recording. Part of his psychosis was he was embarrassed by his talent. Plus a lack of control of his own art. Give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the airing of dirty laundry. No artist wants anything but his best art out there.
Kind of shitty of Dave and or Roger, for not editing this take out and put a much better one forward. Admittedly Dave said maybe it was a punishment towards Syd
poor Syd, the beginning sounds like his friends were already tired and he had to convince them "no no, wait, I can do it, I can start again, don´t go away"... :-(
If you listen the edit in the beginning he is cut off at the word "cut" to be ironic - you can even hear the producer talking and syd said clearly he just needed a good take out of the song, and wanted the bad takes cut out of the finished product. They clearly did the opposite. They edited the beginning to make it seem ironic and "stranger" than it is, then they just left this take the way it was with out editing out the bad parts. Come on people. It's not hard to figure out. Also he sounds totally sane, his image in the media was a commercial image. His voice sounds beautiful anyway, so what if it was a bad take. Stop believing every thing that is popularized. If the image of him as crazy wasn't associated with him, and we just heard this as if it were any person, no one would assume as much about him. In 1971 he said to an interviewer, "talking is superfluous" because everything that gets talked about is not the truth, the only thing that matters is what you create. And this was supposedly during his mad phase. Yet it's one of the most intelligent responses I have ever heard. The real tragedy here is the ignorance of the mindless public, not Syd. He did what he was meant to do.
Sorry, but you’re way off base here. You don’t seem to know the backstory of this recording, and who was involved. If you want a better idea of what was going on with Syd Barrett during this time period (and leading up to these troubled days) you might wanna look into the book A Very Irregular Head. It’s well written, well researched and does not try to exaggerate who he was and does not try to mythologize him. It tells it like it was. He was a very talented and creative person but over time became very detached and disturbed. To the point of living with family members and becoming a recluse. There’s no candy coating that.
@@shikawgoh Yeah, great read. I'm in a Facebook group where Rob Chapman is also in, also one of Syd's old girlfriends, it's been interesting. Like they said in this book, Syd was truly a Mandrax casualty, not acid. I think it went like "to sound like an acid casualty sounds heroic, while a Mandrax casualty is just sad" he was on it heavily during recording sessions, you can tell here. It's like his brain shuts down in the beginning, but you gotta be honest, they did do him dirty leaving that in. Dave and Rog both said they were trying to show what he was like and also "punish him" whatever the hell punishing him meant
I believe punishing him for almost ruining their deal and careers with what i'm assuming was a combination of mandrax, a non-cooperative attitude, and ego. As for the floyd, It's a disgusting and non empathetic reaction- but it is very human. I'd also like to add that I feel there was a lot of jealousy from the other members towards syd which would also explain the "punishing".@@Valientlink
Look, oh, you know, I'll start it again. Fucking genius. Thank god Gilmour recognized the genius and pushed Syd forward solo. Wish we could hear what the other person says to Syd....and if it was Gilmour or who......

This song would have been a masterpiece... correctly recorded and produced... the molody is of pure genious... as I use to say "Here is something..." Wish he could have finished the song...
The vocal melody is as good as McCartney's absolute best, and yet the song is so profoundly f*cked at the same time. You can hear how good it/he is and how it'll never reach its/his potential. So human in that way, in a way that never gets old and always touches the heart.
I also love how he would start off very airy fairy & slowly merge the sound & vibe into the unreal nightmarish vibe & just when your about to say oh my god I can't take that.... Its back to airy fairy land... For a little bit anyway... 😇🐝
This song is a guilty pleasure for me. Feels like a look into a mind that's struggling and failing to hold on to some slice of sanity. I think the most compassionate thing at the time would have been to talk Syd out of trying to make his solo albums, but presumably EMI and others were hoping to squeeze some more money out of Syd. It all feels like a terrible act of exploitation. Leaving in the false starts and all the mistakes in this performance feels especially cruel, but maybe Waters and Gilmour were trying to drive the point home that Syd was no longer capable of performing. Or maybe they were trying to be funny at Syd's expense. Or maybe they were just tired and frustrated by this point. Hard to say.
the "fails" is in my opinion one of the things that makes the album so great. it's truely a raw album like no other, and that makes it very honest compared to other albums. wherether it was an exploitation we can't know for sure. but any syd barrett fan loves this album, and that's worth something

It's very hard to stretch out the two syllable word "Thinking" over the range and number of notes this song demands. I've tried it a few times myself and I sound terrible. Check out the "Kiev cuando nieva" cover of this. The singer there actually manages it. It's just a Spanish amateur group, and they sing it in Spanish, but it gives you and idea of what the song could song like. It's grown on me a bit. If you head over there give them a like, they deserve it.
i remember thinking ''oh god no'' the first time i heard this song, so probably the second or third option. i've since grown to love the song (and performance), though.
I can hit all his notes but my throat starts to get dry. He was doing this stoned on hash and mandrax, not to mention smoking like 2 packs of cigggies a day! Crazy
I saw a documentary about Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Apparently he was supposed to be on that album but couldn't pull it together long enough to even show up in studio. That song is about him.
straordinaria !! Penso che sia stata una grande canzone fatta anche da altri Mick Jagger o da altri grandi rocker, forse Robert Plant, ma questa era una canzone di Syd, comunque solo lui poteva cantarla in questo modo, ed è una canzone non ultimata. Non è terminato !! eh he he stesso altre sue canzoni ...
Eric Albrecht You can tell he's not really well. Same could be said for a lot of his songs but this one stands out a bit. Also, the steel rail might have been referenced in Wish You Were Here. That's some of my take on it.
It could have been a masterpiece... do you agree? It's only a DEMO, but the melody is really great!!! Imagine this song with the arrangements of "The Piper", for example... If I were a musician, I'd make justice with this song... It deserves that. This song deserves a finished and well arranged cover. Definitely.
See if you can find "Kiev cuando nieva" cover of this. The singer there actually manages it very well. It's just a Spanish amateur group, and they sing it in Spanish, but it gives you and idea of what the song could be like. There's also Cujo's punkish version, which has some nice details but misses the point of the song.
I made a funny edit of this with about 5 false starts where he says "i'll start again... start again". maybe I'll post it as a video reply someday. My favorite words are "Chugging along with a funnel of steam". It describes this song well.
@@milkythoughts9500 it's on a cdr, I have to locate - no frills with a still ... If I do it, I'll put it on my channel - it's kinda easy, and fun! to edit Syd😁
He died with almost 2 million Euros.....Piper is a genre classic and sells well to this day. Considering he has writing credits on all but one song, why yes, he easily died a millionaire. But it's moot. Syd didn't care much about money in the end.
i don't know man.. i'm sure the regret of losing it all must have been pretty heartbreaking. and i've read that he would fall into depressive episodes whenever he was reminded of it. sorry to burst your bubble haha.
The chords are dead simple G/D in the verse, C/G/D in the chorus. None of Syd's songs are terribly complex, but the genius didn't lay in overly frou frou arrangements, it's the immediacy and odd urgency that's hard to match IMO
He shaved all his hair off, including his eyebrows. Syd was very famous for a period of time even in america, its just he could not hand the spotlight and what cam with it. Living like he did was his own choice.
The purest artist I'm aware of. He followed his own muse, and didn't care what anyone else thought.
Oh, friend of yours?
Perfect song...the mistakes are what make this song so wonderful RIP Syd
probably his most insane sounding track. yet very poetic.
not insane at all, very poetic, yes we witness his open free heartedness moment to moment spear it
This is an icredibly difficult piece of vocal music to perform without sounding completely out of tune and mental. Yet Syd does it very well. Maybe it takes a man of unstable mind to truly express potentially unstable music.

Yea, a normal person plays 1 chord every 3 minutes and barely sings, like he did in the last days with the Floyd. Come on.
@@Syfoll He was fucking with them. He also avoided Tavistock doctors and lived out how he wished. He was brighter and clearer than most of us.
@@Syfoll “In an insane world a sane man must appear insane.” C William King
Only a genIus can rhyme "Enrietta" and "letter". Only Syd. Insane? May be. Happy? Yes. Genius? HELL YEAH...!!!!
he did
As his sister said, he wasn't insane. He just didn't think like everyone else.
Nop, he wasn't insane at all.
It's because he was an INFP.
Well, he reached for the secret too soon.
nobody think like everyone else
maybe his sister was right about the way Syd thought/think.....but went insane because he couldn't find that person that thought same way as him.....
The beauty of chaos, expressed in this great song .....
his mistakes just make me love him more and MORE .... beautiful .... you must be all beautiful in heaven laughing at all of us .....
Syd Barrett's music has captured my heart forever❤
I laugh at the intro everytime
i like how he told them to cut it and they didn't
I bet Roger told them to keep it in.
@@DalekWindmill lol bet
My favorite Syd Barrett song. He was so far ahead of his time
Lmao
And to me and to my little sister years ago. Rip Syd.
And Sid vicious liked this the most
I remember when my piano teacher put this on for me and he said "Syd was a genius" and we just stood there listening
sounds like a kick ass piano teacher!
His music makes me feel so much. Its all so tragic. I feel happy and sad at the same time and it's comfort in place where I feel so alone
Nice to see people appreciate good literature in music here! :)
“Please hold on to the steel rail”
“Can you tell a green field

i always thought this too
They subtly killed Syd by neglect

Give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the airing of dirty laundry. No artist wants anything but his best art out there.
Some edits of the album put the false start at the end of the previous track. Nothing was cut, just indexed a bit differently.
Kind of shitty of Dave and or Roger, for not editing this take out and put a much better one forward.
Admittedly Dave said maybe it was a punishment towards Syd
The others were musicians who dabbled in art, syd was an artist that dabbled in music. RIPower Syd always loved
This song has everything that is missing from all other songs past and present
"She's a mean go getter, got to write her a letter."
poor Syd, the beginning sounds like his friends were already tired and he had to convince them "no no, wait, I can do it, I can start again, don´t go away"... :-(
... nah, pretty sure his voice just cracked and he said he was starting the song over.
I played this for a couple of Togolise friends I have. Got a funny reaction from them. This was their first Syd Barrett experience.
This is quite good song writing ... I love it the way it is. I hate perfection.
A guy friend and I got kicked out of a bar once for singing this... we had only been there for less than 10 minutes but they thought we were hammered
lmfao🤣🤣
Yum, yummy, yum, don't, yummy, yum, yom, yom...
This song is amazing, i love syd and hope he'd haunt me a little bit.

just so much damn potential...

He turned a one-syllable word into twelve syllables. That's gotta be some kind of record
If you saw someone perform this exactly verbatim as it is here on open mic night, would you applaud, laugh or get up and walk out?

Adorable manera de comenzar una canción! 3 amo a este hombre
Qué maravilloso lo que este chico hacía con tres acordes. Y qué pena que no pudiera controlar la adicción.
been looking for this song for years, found it!
he was years, years and years forward than anyone...
I can hit all his notes but my throat starts to get dry. He was doing this stoned on hash and mandrax, not to mention smoking like 2 packs of cigggies a day! Crazy
Oh god, i just, I love him, he's just, i mean khesdfnkjhfnd perfect
i see someone tryna scream their way out of mess . Syd
I don't think he died very rich but his end days were indeed probably his most peaceful and happiest moments he lived.
He died extremely rich. Floyd always made sure he got royalties even though he signed a release clause.
so glad Dave left the chatter in
A very clever, and also rather insensitive decision... I'm betting it was Roger's idea.
I saw a documentary about Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Apparently he was supposed to be on that album but couldn't pull it together long enough to even show up in studio. That song is about him.
