@@dbo514 People say that a lot about the majority of Barrett's solo output but the evidence is lacking. Seems more likely that some of these songs began as half formed ideas in the old days. For "Here I Go" in particular, Malcolm Jones has written that Mr. Barrett had written the song in a few minutes in April 1969. Maybe it was a preexisting tune. But I'd like to see evidence. None of these tracks ever showed up as Floyd material in 1965-67, with the exception of Opel/She Was A Millionaire. No written sheets date from the 1965 period regarding these songs, though I can accept at face that songs like Bob Dylan Blues probably really were 1965-vintage. But I'd like to see more solid evidence for this claim over simply taking it as truism, as has been so often the case regarding this particular songwriter in question. Much of Barrett's life and songwriting abilities has been endlessly mythologicalized and it makes it difficult to separate fact from fiction.

kinda catchy.
