    Syd Barrett never returned from an extended LSD trip in 1968. This song is about the band's sadness at the loss of their soul mate. Although his body survived, the real Syd never returned. I always think of Syd when I hear the words - "now there's a look in your eye, like black holes in the sky". A perfect description of someone who has lost their soul, and one of the greatest lines in rock music.

    My favorite line is "You reached for the secret too soon." Although I realize the context in the song isn't about suicide (at least not of the physical kind), I have lost a few people this way over the years and I find that word rather harsh and disconnected. Now when these people come up in conversation I prefer to say "They reached for the secret too soon..." which seems infinitely more compassionate, and causes people to think about it with more empathy.

    It’s incredible how you picked up the different parts of the story without knowing the history. This is a tribute to founding member Syd Barrett, who left the band in 1968. I always hear the soft, fuzzy, fading synthesizer and clear, crisp guitar parts as Syd slipping in and out of his madness.

    This is a requiem mass for Syd Barrett. You hear weeping, sorrow, lamentation, and anguish in both the music and lyrics. They lost their friend to LSD and mental illness and were haunted by the choice they had to make to move foreword as a band by forcing Syd out. One of music’s most tragic stories.

    In 1978 I was a sailor with the Dutch company Nedlloyd, and while unloading work in the port of Singapore I bought a cassette tape of a band I had never heard of... Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. I played this tape every night when I went to bed...turned off all the lights and in the total darkness I relaxed. Since then I have been a fan of Pink Floyd and still have all their LPs... even though I also have their music digitally.

    Agree 100% that this is the way to listen to the Floyd (lights out, lying back midway between the stereo's speakers). i have got all of the Floyd albums, on a mix of cassette, vinyl, CD, DVD compilation, Android phone, USB stick, internal HDD, eHDD. The only copy I don't have is a self recorded video - sad I could never get to see them in person. That's exactly how I got into Trilogy, by Enigma. Listening to it when busy with other things, driving etc. Never hit the spot until I withdrew from all worldly distractions, lay on a duvet one summer night and soaked it all in from beginning to end.

    Please don't hesitate to do more of these types of reactions. Especially for Pink Floyd. While they're great live, they're phenomenal in the studio. You say part of stage presence is the emotions the music evokes in the listener. I think the lack of the visual distraction allowed you to more deeply feel what was in the mind and heart of the artists as this music was created. Read the backstory about Syd Barrett and I challenge you to listen to this again and not have a tear in your eye.

    A tribute to Syd Barrett, he was of the founding members of the band and gave them the name Pink Floyd after two blues artists. Syd had mental health problems and along with drug use, just kind of faded out of the band and was replaced by Gilmore. Syd passed away in 2006. It really affected everyone in the band, when he left, he was such a talented artist and well liked.

    I'm glad you were able to take it in. Piper refers both to the Pied Piper, which original and founding band member Syd Barrett was that in a way. But it also refers to an early album of theirs with Syd Barrett called Piper at the Gates of Dawn. See Emily Play is a Syd Barrett gem from back then. Even after he started descending into mental illness and they finally had to replace him, he put out this solo double album of mostly acoustic stuff and it's just so delicious. It is whimsical and yet it hints at serious stuff and it's playful and it's so incredibly melodic and catchy. It's called And the Madcap Laughs.

    Same here. Every year as I age (now 62) Pink Floyd hits me in a different way, and really hammers home the sage words of Heraclitus: "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." I can't imagine a world without the music of Pink Floyd, and although I treasure my journey with them through the years, I also envy the countless younger generations who will some day hear them for the first time. This music will stand the test of time like other great composers such as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.

    Your reaction is one of the most stunning reaction I have seen. You have this magical gift to be able to convert music+emotion into a story which actually does match the real one. I am 50, and I listened to this masterpiece a zillion times, but you still succeeded to teach me a way to decode it in a different way than mine. I am stunned: You are sooo gifted! What you just did is : take the risk to play "kind of the Voice" with Pink Floyd and then painted what you heard/felt. This is an awesome idea! You should try this again with other Pink Floyd titles. Your next should be the studio version of "Marooned", and in the same video you watch and react to the video clip. You then confront your "vision" to that special video. But, for this to work you need to avoid any risk to be exposed to this video before. I am soooo looking forward to that moment.

If you read every review of this track, and listened to it twenty times, you might be expected to achieve HALF of what you picked up on. Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!

It's never in any hurry to start the song proper, and it never really needs to.

    _"Shine on You crazy Diamond"_ was written as a song in nine parts. What you covered here is parts 1-5, which is what started the first side of the original vinyl album. There were then a few shorter songs, and finally parts 6-9 of _"Shine on You crazy Diamond"_ *close* side two of the original vinyl album. When all parts are put together the full song is almost 26 minutes long. There were shorter versions made, such as appeared on the album released which was called _"A Collection of Great Dance Songs"_ (which is a rather humorous title for an album from Pink Floyd 🙂). That version includes parts 1, 2, 4 and 7 of the song, and is a "mere" 10 minutes 41 seconds.

    Probably best that there wasn't a video with this song. You got to have the feelings many of us had back when this first came out, putting it on the turntable for the first listen. It was amazing seeing your reaction and how you picked up on the backstory of this song, watching you pick up the emotions the song has within the band. They never mention Syd's name in the song but it is in the title "Shine on You crazy Diamond" crazy was in there in description of Syd's sad mental demise.

    Remarkable reaction (one of your best) and well done being in the moment and yet expressing what you were feeling. The best music has this feeling of inevitability about it, as if the notes have always existed and the artist just reminds of us of what we all know. Many times during that, you anticipated what was coming next and your clear delight when it happened was marvelous.

    Ooh, I love your analysis style of Pink Floyd. Using colors, images, emotions. That has always been my experience with Pink Floyd. "Back in the day," we'd sit in our dark smoke filled room listening to entire Pink Floyd albums, and how you described it is how I experienced it. But it was after the, "back in the day," years that I really experienced Pink Floyd. The musicality, the incredible attention to detail, as I got older and had more experiences with music I came to recognize the wisdom in their music, as young as they were.

And very impressive seeing you picking up on the emotional messaging in the music - the crazy mix of emotions one goes through when mourning a loved one. Not dead, in this case, but certainly no longer present as he succumbed to mental illness.

    While Pink Floyd's live performances are better than some bands in the studio, what Pink Floyd produces in the studio is phenomenal. You've done the live version of Great Gig in the Sky. As someone that appreciates vocals, you really should listen to Clare Torry's studio version. If her vocals don't touch your soul, you don't have one. Read the backstory. She completely improvised the vocals in the studio and finally was given coauthor rights to the song many years later.

    Ahhh... on STOLEN Ground!!! At the turn of the 20th Century, both the UK and U.S. were drilling water wells in the middle east, near Palestine when they struck Oil... then Natural Gas. The hush-hush, the deception and distraction... and the "Blame Game" began. British Royal Dutch Shell... and the USA have always went to WAR... for theft and control of Petroleum and Natural Gas rights. In November 2021, Shell announced that it is planning to relocate their headquarters to London, abandon its dual share structure, and change its name from Royal Dutch Shell plc to Shell plc. The company's name change was registered in the Companies House on 21 January 2022. The more they accuse, blame, create chaos, deny, deflect, distract, spread Hatred, Fear and LIES... the more they Project who "They Are", the more they confuse the World in order to keep the focus off of them. Nazi tactic, brought to another land in order to CONtrol. Presumed Authority breeds Unbridled Power. Israel only thanks America and the UK when America and the UK are in the room. America, the Big Yellow Stain on the Lands! Here it is, folks... Our Government pissin' down our backs and tellin' us "It's just raining". $3.8B a year for the past 30 years, and a recent "donation" of $14.2B. No wonder Israelis worldwide receive FREE Universal Healthcare and FREE College Tuition. Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot Our Tax Dollar$ At Work! GIVING Israel the Power and the Munitions to turn Palestine into the Parking Lot Of Their Dreams!!! Gaslighting... It is all about the Benjamin'$. Gaza Marine is a natural gas field off the coast of the Gaza Strip. Along with numerous other Natural Gas and Oil fields throughout Palestine and off the coast of Gaza, estimated worth over $524B, the Gaza Marine1 natural gas field is located in water about 36 kilometers (22 mi) offshore at a depth of 610 meters (2,000 ft). The field was discovered in 1999 by British Gas Group and is estimated to contain more than 1.6 trillion+ cubic feet of natural gas. The DEAL with BG and the USA that NOBODY will discuss... and the 2 canals that they have been quietly planning that will run from the N. Gaza coast into the Sea of Galilee, and the lower canal that will run from S. Gaza coast through to the Dead Sea at Jerusalem, and down to the Gulf of Aqaba, to the Red Sea. The Suez Canal is out of the question... because, again... those Benjamin'$. Nobody will say a thing about the actual plan of "leveling Palestine" that the USA calls The Parking Lot. This has been planned for so long now... and to think, the propaganda used to distract the WORLD has forced the President of Harvard to resign. “Most Zionists don't believe that God exists but they do believe that he promised them Palestine” -- Ilan Pappe "We are the only people on earth asked to guarantee the security of our occupier ...... While Israel is the only country that calls for defense from it's victims." Hanan Ashrawi “Israel is a settler colonial project that is nearing its end, as colonial projects reach their final phase become more brutal and ruthless.” ~ Ilan Pappe "According to Zionism, this is the land of Israel and this land belongs to all the Jews of the world, not to the Palestinians who live there. If you have a supremacist ideology, then you must resort to violence. You must create an apartheid regime so that this Racist ideology can be realized. This is the State of Israel.” ~Miko Peled. "The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?" ~ Bertrand Russell Abdessalam Yassine, founder of Hamas, was born near Ashkelon, also pushed with his family to Gaza by Israel. To refuse to see that 60% of Gazans came from the places where Israelis now live is to be blind. We cannot understand October 7th without knowing History. ~ Shlomo Sand (Jewish historian) In international law, nowhere does one find that the occupying force has the “right” to defend itself. Instead, it is explicitly written that an occupied nation has the right to fight by any means necessary for its freedom. "After 30 years as a USA politician I learned to never believe Israeli figures" - Colonel Larry Wilkerson Read: "Behind Israel’s ‘end game’ for Gaza: Theft of offshore gas reserves"
