He plays with time and phrasing in ways that wouldn't really be possible with a full band. Maybe Syd would've been happier with just himseld and his guitar. Or maybe he would've happily chucked it all for a career as a painter.

i think you're both looking too much into it. This was probably the best version of many terrible takes and as for the pauses, my guess is he's trying to remember the lyrics or reading them from a piece of paper.

@@mynameismark25Not at all. Syd’s genius was on time signature changes and progressions through semi-tones. It’s the reason songs like “See Emily Play” and “Arnold Layne “ were so catchy . You are correct that this is the best version. The outtake on Opel shouldn’t have been released imo. What’s to read into ? It’s simply good music.

Trying to learn this song on guitar. The chords are simple, but the phrasing is difficult as hell. I'm realizing how Syd's genius in songwriting worked... There are emphases in his vocals that are not "signaled" by any emphasis in the guitar line. Most music, in my limited experience, "cues" changes in the other instruments, especially vocals... But with Syd, it's almost like playing two different songs at the same time in some spots. Then in other spots the changes are right with the words/beat, like you'd expect. And I've not even mentioned the strumming pattern and chord changes at unexpected points in the vocal line. All of this creates an "emotional" effect. I think maybe it's how really good songs are able to hit the listener emotionally, while only using the same notes and chords as every other song. It's going to take a lot of practice for such a "simple" song.

It's because of the way he writes songs. According to Rick Write, he writes all the lyrics first and then chooses the rhythms for the lyrics. Then the notes and finally the chords. Since the rhythm comes first, it's often difficult to match the chords up and even put everything in a time signature

HuffinMuffin Interesting. I guess that makes sense. If he wrote the lyrics first... he could build an unusual musical structure around them that probably wouldn't arise out of just playing with chords and rhythms. I'll have to try writing on guitar that way. But just knowing part of Syd's process won't give me the same kind of poignant phrasing as him, however. He's not called a genius by those-in-the-know for nothing!

This song is a cry for help from someone that knows they're losing their mind. Syd knew that music was his passion, but for some reason, every time he'd get into recording, he'd lose it. More & more. Thus, this was the song where he realized that it was music making him crazy, but music is what he wanted to do. That is why this song brings me to tears every time. It's reminiscent of someone gasping for air, after they filled the room with the poison they love so dearly. I know the feeling

@@redacted2275 I think painting and other visual arts were easier and more comforting than music for Barrett, possibly because they were stationary, while music is always moving in time and requires some structure in relation to conventional measures of time. We can observe from the last decades of his life that he gave up trying to communicate with the outside world with words, preferring to be alone and to create images, mostly for himself. I don't know if that's a tragedy or not. Who knows what degree of happiness or satisfaction with life he had in later years? He wouldn't tell anyone. He gave up on us, even if we didn't give up on him.

“Dark Globe” (1970) shows Syd Barrett’s awareness of his own psychological state. He was a founding member of Pink Floyd, but mental illness led him to a reclusive life. The take of this tune on the LP “The Madcap Laughs” (1970) was played out of time by Barrett, who skipped or added beats at will. There is another version of the song on the album “Opel,” (1988), a compilation of Barrett out-takes, also known as “Wouldn’t You Miss Me?”… Both Roger Waters and David Gilmour took time off from their work as “Pinkers” (for want of a better term) to help produce their former bandmate’s record. 💜🎵💜 May you rest in peace, Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett (1946 - 2006)…🌹

This is one of the saddest songs in the world. At the time it was written, Syd was losing his mind. But he was on the cusp, so he was slightly aware of this. The more he did music, the more he lost his mind (the LSD didn't help). This song, to me, is the crying out of a person who is realizing the very thing they love the most is the thing that's driving them mad. And it breaks my heart. Shortly after this album, he simply went further over the edge into insanity. What's worse is that far later, when Pink Floyd was recording Wish You Were Here (about Syd), Syd showed up. Ready to get back into music again, only to further demonstrate his mental illness... bringing the band to tears for being reunited w/a person they loved so much only to have him disappear before their eyes into insanity. I don't know why, but I have a HUGE emotional affinity for those who supposedly have gone "insane."

Moreover, Syds story is not as remotely tragic as it is presented in the media. Yes, he was a genius and yes, he had serious issues with drug abuse and mental illness, but he managed to (pretty much) recover. He lived happily, peacefully and normally for the rest 25 years of his life. He wanted to be left alone with his cycling tours, his walks, his garden and his art (paintings) and he got exactly what he wanted. By all accounts, he died a happy man. Btw, when he died, he had 2 million $ on his bank account - all that coming from Gilmour and Waters taking care he never got cheated out of his royalties.

Look at pictures taken by paparazzi in 2006, months before his death, while opening the door to a stranger. He looks confused, lost. There's not a single picture of Roger [Syd's real name] after his musical career, where he looks content. None. Neighbors usually talk about how he was a hermit, strange old man. I seriously don't think he died happy.

Trying to learn this song on guitar. The chords are simple, but the phrasing is difficult as hell. I'm realizing how Syd's genius in songwriting worked... There are emphases in his vocals that are not "signaled" by any emphasis in the guitar line. Most music, in my limited experience, "cues" changes in the other instruments, especially vocals... But with Syd, it's almost like playing two different songs at the same time in some spots. Then in other spots the changes are right with the words/beat, like you'd expect. And I've not even mentioned the strumming pattern and chord changes at unexpected points in the vocal line. All of this creates an "emotional" effect. I think maybe it's how really good songs are able to hit the listener emotionally, while only using the same notes and chords as every other song. It's going to take a lot of practice for such a "simple" song.

It's because of the way he writes songs. According to Rick Write, he writes all the lyrics first and then chooses the rhythms for the lyrics. Then the notes and finally the chords. Since the rhythm comes first, it's often difficult to match the chords up and even put everything in a time signature

If he wrote the lyrics first... he could build an unusual musical structure around them that probably wouldn't arise out of just playing with chords and rhythms. I'll have to try writing on guitar that way. But just knowing part of Syd's process won't give me the same kind of poignant phrasing as him, however. He's not called a genius by those-in-the-know for nothing!

But when he was hitting his girlfriend... And don't get me wrong, I love the man, but he had his dark sides of the moonies.

I'm not judgmental here, I'm just trying to keep realistic. The lunatics are in our brains.
This song is a cry for help from someone that knows they're losing their mind. Syd knew that music was his passion, but for some reason, every time he'd get into recording, he'd lose it. More & more. Thus, this was the song where he realized that it was music making him crazy, but music is what he wanted to do. That is why this song brings me to tears every time. It's reminiscent of someone gasping for air, after they filled the room with the poison they love so dearly. I know the feeling

@@redacted2275 I think painting and other visual arts were easier and more comforting than music for Barrett, possibly because they were stationary, while music is always moving in time and requires some structure in relation to conventional measures of time. We can observe from the last decades of his life that he gave up trying to communicate with the outside world with words, preferring to be alone and to create images, mostly for himself. I don't know if that's a tragedy or not. Who knows what degree of happiness or satisfaction with life he had in later years? He wouldn't tell anyone. He gave up on us, even if we didn't give up on him.
some say syd was insane, a mad cap, I say he was one of the few who had a grasp of the joys of life. This music is mental, intuitive, and so real to me. perfectly imperfect like life is.
[follows] - Furthermore, I met people in Cambridge that knew him and said he was a definitely lovely guy, adored by everybody in town. Again, I realize that for many people it is difficult to accept a genius that did not "produce" stuff according to his own potential and did not live in tune with social standards: what is indeed a terrific gift and a clear sign of uncompromised talent, is sadly seen by many as insanity.

Keith Barrett same here😢
“Dark Globe” (1970) shows Syd Barrett’s awareness of his own psychological state. He was a founding member of Pink Floyd, but mental illness led him to a reclusive life. The take of this tune on the LP “The Madcap Laughs” (1970) was played out of time by Barrett, who skipped or added beats at will. There is another version of the song on the album “Opel,” (1988), a compilation of Barrett out-takes, also known as “Wouldn’t You Miss Me?”… Both Roger Waters and David Gilmour took time off from their work as “Pinkers” (for want of a better term) to help produce their former bandmate’s record. 💜🎵💜 May you rest in peace, Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett (1946 - 2006)…🌹

Painfully sad song. God I love syd, may his legacy live on forever
this whole album just shows how much of pain and pressure syd was goin through.sad to see the genius fade away.
This is one of the saddest songs in the world. At the time it was written, Syd was losing his mind. But he was on the cusp, so he was slightly aware of this. The more he did music, the more he lost his mind (the LSD didn't help). This song, to me, is the crying out of a person who is realizing the very thing they love the most is the thing that's driving them mad. And it breaks my heart. Shortly after this album, he simply went further over the edge into insanity. What's worse is that far later, when Pink Floyd was recording Wish You Were Here (about Syd), Syd showed up. Ready to get back into music again, only to further demonstrate his mental illness... bringing the band to tears for being reunited w/a person they loved so much only to have him disappear before their eyes into insanity. I don't know why, but I have a HUGE emotional affinity for those who supposedly have gone "insane."

I don't rely only on his albums: I've read a number of biographies on Syd Barrett, and found that he was a kind and sensitive person who passed through a tough time in his life, as many do. And this is how he's always been described by people who knew him well, like his sister. If I were a "type to believe a sly liar", I'd totally agree with you.
Syd is a unique individual and there was no one who was more original than Syd. No one can argue that Syd lost touch with reality, but whether that makes him insane or crazy, is debatable. RIP Syd!
There's a lot of pain behind this song. It hurts to hear it frankly.

When you make songs it liberates your pain, we are also liberating Syd's pain through listening.

@satan Yeah, its the band's fault that he refused to perform at shows. They honestly didn't have any real choice at that point. The show must go on.

Just love this.. this album is deep in my heart somewhere.. buried there
Why didn't anyone take notice ? Roger obviously needed help. I've struggled with mental health issues but luckily I've been helped to live with them. Waters and Gilmour - how can you sleep at night ?

@funkmasterjee They did, stop saying things like that. For example they helped him release this album, without their help we wouldn't listen to this masterpiece today.

@funkmasterjee Time to dispel this stupid story. Gilmour, Waters, Wright and Mason helped him all the way - they made sure he got his royalties from songs and even helped him on both solo albums. Moreover, Syds story is not as remotely tragic as it is presented in the media. Yes, he was a genius and yes, he had serious issues with drug abuse and mental illness, but he managed to (pretty much) recover. He lived happily, peacefully and normally for the rest 25 years of his life. He wanted to be left alone with his cycling tours, his walks, his garden and his art (paintings) and he got exactly what he wanted. By all accounts, he died a happy man. Btw, when he died, he had 2 million $ on his bank account - all that coming from Gilmour and Waters taking care he never got cheated out of his royalties.

@@andrasdura47 Happy is not the word I'd use. Shaved head and eyebrows. Wore dirty and scruffy clothes, dirty white tank tops with ripped, loose old jeans. Look at pictures taken by paparazzi in 2006, months before his death, while opening the door to a stranger. He looks confused, lost. There's not a single picture of Roger [Syd's real name] after his musical career, where he looks content. None. Neighbors usually talk about how he was a hermit, strange old man. I seriously don't think he died happy.

The simple genius of Syd Barrett and Daniel Johnston
Barrett was a genius writer! Miss you, Syd; wish you were here.

In my Pink Floyd playlist with R.E.M.'s cover. Thanks for the upload!

This song captures so much of his emotions. Brings tears to my eyes almost every time. RIP Syd.

BEST SYD SONG.SO MUCH FEELING AND PASSION.THANKS FOR THE POST.PATRICK IN PA
this song always makes me cry
I adore this song but it makes me sad, the lyrics, the way he sing it..don't know..so sad :(
I just noticed that Roger's singing is very similar to how Syd is singing in this! It's almost like Roger sings that way because he was influenced by Syd's genius, and does it as a tribute to him...
maestro.

It’s nice to know that he lived relatively content later in his life the book said he got back into gardening and painting and lived a simple sheltered life away from the limelight.
