I swear Syd was a musician wizard. Just marvelous music.

I will never stop loving this album.

It is his mind flowing without barriers, speaking without filters....fantastic.

Those lyrics are pure poetry. It's intelligent, heartrending and as honest as it gets.

“My legs moved the last empty inches to you”. There are so many memorable lyrics in Syd’s music, but this particular line always grabs my attention upon listening to this track.

Life was not that peaceful

It always seems like there is an inevitability of form with Syd's words; as if he didn't imagine them from scratch, but rather caught a glimpse of the pure and complete poetry in a metaphysical elsewhere and then accurately decoded it and manifested it into this reality. Like all great artists, it seems like he was merely channeling his art from the realm of Perfect Beauty; a clever, but tortured medium between Here and There.

Right. This is my favourite line. He says "Growing to gather the good of each other". Brilliant.

I love you Syd. I really do.

To my mind, such as it is, Syd Barrett and Captain Beefheart are the two most important musical artists to emerge from the sixties.

I understand that many people don't understand Barrett's genius. It is simple, unpretentious and sincere. He is a rare gem.

"Remember those times when I'd call in the clear day time and you woould be there."-

My eternal psychedelic hero.....go inside your mind to never return........ Syd.

Absolute poet

His final recorded and released solo song.

I feel this song is a story and it gives me really ominous vibes. First time I heard this song (at age 7) I had a crazy nightmare about Syd

My head kissed the ground. 🤔 I was hallf the way down............

"your stars my stars are simple cots bars," that is what i hear anyway and it makes more sense

As perhaps the most famous acid drop-out in music history, we can infer that these lyrics refer to another mental plane. Take your pick: The enlightened or the unwell state of mind he reached & that retired him back to his mother’s house, at the peak of his music career.

syd was pure genius.

It is obvious May I say, oh baby, that it is found on another plane? Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall Your stars my stars, a simple cock bar Only an impulse pie in the sky Mumble listen dolly Drift over your mind holly Creep into bed when your head's on the ground She held the torch on the porch, She winked an eye Reason it is written on the brambles Stranded on the spikes my blood red, oh listen: Remember those times I could call Through the clear day Time be there Braver and braver, a handkerchief waver The louder you lips to a loud hailer Growing together, they ('re) growing each either No wondering, stumbling, fumbling Rumbling minds shot together, Our minds shot together So equally over a valley, a hill Wood on quarry stood, each of us crying A velvet curtain of gray Mark the blanket where the sparrows play And the trees by the waving corn stranded My legs move the last empty inches to you The softness, the warmth from the weather in suspense Mote to a grog the star a white chalk Minds shot together, our minds shot together

Syd should be left alone. Jesus and Mary Chain did a great Vegetable Man but MGMT are not on their level, and I'm a big MGMT fan.

"Minds shot together, our minds shot together" Yeah, you are already dead and I was born in 1991. (._.)

Such an amazing piece of work, but such a crappy sound arrangement.. Barrett lost it by the time he wrote the music of this song.. And the sound arrangers completely fucked up the essence of the song. This song has a Major chord structure and the use of an interesting Raga. Robin Hitchcock's version is impeccably done.. and that is how the song should sound like
