Yes! I love very much Syd Barrett songs and guitar playing technic. He was a good song writer too. He was a brilliant person. R.I.P. ROGER "SYD" BARRETT Alex from Italy.

I’m very heartbroken by Syd’s story. Too pure a soul for this world.

Syd Barrett's melodic, musical and lyrical genius haunts/haunted Roger Waters and David Gilmour as song writers their entire careers whether they want to admit it or not.

Without help of those two, Nick and Rick these solo albums never would have been released. This song in particular has a solo thats played backwards, because thats the only way he could play guitar, when they put the tape backwards for him in the studio. Genious songwriter, if his drug abuse didn't take its toll, Syd would most likely be up there with Lennon and McCartney. I'd hardly say they are jealous, especially when Gilmour in particular made sure the royalties reach Syd, they played Astronomy Domine on the Pulse tour, its a tactical move to get him more royalties.

Not a madman, not a burnout, not insane. Syd knew EXACTLY what he was doing. Every sound, every word, every note placed precisely as he intended. Not outtakes, not ramblings, not patched-up accidents. And the saddest part is, that we will not hear anything more from him. 😕

According to Gilmour, they kept trying to get him to play a lead for this part but he just couldn’t do it. Syd then wanted them to play the tape backwards, and only then Syd got into a groove and played the solo. The rest of the song was then played normal, but had this reversed guitar part that worked for reasons only Syd seemed to understand. Madness, maybe. But undeniably creative.

I bought this album shortly after it was released in the 1970's. Always liked it.

Jerry Shirley said something I found truly amazing about this track: Syd could not get the lead guitar part right, but when the backing track was played backwards, he was able to play the part backwards perfectly well. This is the recording, played in reverse, that you hear here.

He didn't play the guitar part backwards. David said they played the backing track backwards. He recorded the guitar lead normally. So then when the recording was played normally, the guitar is backwards. If you listen you can hear that the guitar is backwards. And yes they did it in one take.

This song is so marvelous and special. I like the atmosphere of it and it's lyrics just describe the feeling of a deep sorrow that turned into a lethargic mood where you feel the only way to escape ,,the harm,, of this life is to waste your time.Weird is that I often get the same feelings....

I have to say that I really like the free flow aspect of this song, all the experimental sounds and compositions. Nothing stale or repetitive about this song. Syd Barrett's uniqueness was little understood or respected by an unoriginal, formulaic pop industry. They never understood that sometimes people don't want to just dance, they want to have their eardrums scintillated by sound.

'Barrett', the album from which this song appears, was released on Nov 1970. It was the last bit of work recorded before he recluded into his second life. I believe he stopped appearing 2 years later. Odd and enjoyable album.

I’ll never forget listening to this for the first time. I was on Adderall and weed and this song took me to a different dimension. Crazy times.

Best Syd song

i agree that the beatle songs that ended up on their records relied heavily upon production. but a song like 'strawberry fields forever' was an unbelievably beautiful song initially, with just lennon and his guitar. as a singer/songwriter myself, i love and appreciate the raw version. but in my opinion, the world is better place because of the "painted" version as well.

I'm feeling this song today.

in my tears, my dreams

i agree. absolutely. almost everything in the current pop or hip/hop mainstream could never stand on it's own without the slick (over) production. there are a few bands i like who put out amazingly polished/produced records, but the songs also completely hold up acoustically as well. the best stuff should always be about the song.

"Losing when my mind's astray" I wonder if deep inside his mind, Syd knew he was having mental peculiarities, but just wasn't sure what was happening? He referenced similar thoughts, in other songs

@erad67

3 жыл бұрын

My guess is he did know. I think people are very aware when they significantly change.

Syd's music belongs to a genre titled 'Syd Barrett'

The last ever interview with Syd proves to me he wasn’t mad. He was treated badly by his own band and got disillusioned with the whole music industry.

GENIUS

Its an idea someday in my tears my fears - life that comes of no harm.... Oh HOW SAD... POOR SYD...

Hasta las lagrimas..Toca los hilos más sencible del sentimiento,su modo de cantar..
