![]() shine on, syd!!!! and tristan, ARE YOU HIGH?! THE WALL, ANNOYING?! tristan, what are you on?! "wouldnt you miss me? im only person!" its probably not what he meant, but thats how it sounds to me. it strikes me as sort of a pleading call to his old bandmates. Louis, Mowow.id never heard that song before until now, and makes me really depressed, hearing one of the last acheivements of such a brilliant mind. Peter from Athens, GreeceSyd Barret R.I.P.Hope from Watertown, NyRoger Waters does a good vocal impression of Syd on the Wall.Dark Globe and the song long gone by Syd, I believe, were inspiration for the wall (to an extant it clearly goes way beyond just that) This song was recorded in the "two day sprint" along with "she took a long cold look" "Feel" and "if its in you" I think this song was Syd trying to talk to Roger and show his emotions without actually going up to Roger and saying "Look I know things got f-ked up between us and I'm in a very bad state, lets be friends." or something like that and I think if he said that the past with Syd and Roger would have been so totally different, its too bad they had to go through life "wondering which of the buggers to blame." I feel bad for both of them. But I would definitely agree that Waters does a Syd impression on the wall. Tristan from Philadelphia, PaHaha, I've listened to the wall stoned and not and I just don't really like it.Ben from Fort Worth, TxTo be quite honest, I felt the version on Opel - which I bought on LP the very day it was released, more than 20 years ago - was basically garbage, an outtake best left where it was in the vault. ![]() ![]() Well, it's not like two guys who grew up in the same town, went to the same schools, and spent their shared youth discovering their musical abilities together would sound alike, or anything crazy like that. Ben from Fort Worth, TxSo Roger Waters stands accused of imitating Syd on The Wall then?.Not relating the dead to syd but that's a perfect example of an exotic tempo. Until a jazz friend told me that it is in eleven tempo, also explaining the origin of its name. I always had a problem replaying the eleven by the grateful dead in my memory. Unless you are talking about the part where he turns the page during one song, those missed bard were on purpose. Philip from If you look at the interviews with "the soft machine" who backed syd after floyd, they say his time structures were very hard to learn.Additionally, he was the singer and lyricist in the Bristol based beat combo Glaxo Babies. Rob Chapman Bio:īoth a writer of non-fiction (Syd Barrett, psychedelia, pirate radio) and fiction, Rob Chapman also runs an experimental writing workshop called Stream of Consciousness. The complete lyrics of Syd Barrett – 52 songs written for Pink Floyd and during his subsequent solo career – are presented together for the first time, along with rare photos and artwork, to form this beautifully illustrated book.Ĭompiled in collaboration with the Syd Barrett estate, and featuring a foreword from former Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner and a comprehensive introduction by biographer Rob Chapman, The Lyrics of Syd Barrett delves deep into one of rock’n’roll’s most imaginative and searing minds. If his guitar gave the early Pink Floyd a distinctive hallucinatory sound, his often obscure and surreal lyrics were perhaps even more intoxicating. Despite just a three-year tenure with the band, co-founder Syd Barrett’s influence on Pink Floyd was profound and long-lasting.
