I was born in distant mountain village of Uzbekistan, far from civilization and quite far from Syd, in 1965. And i know him and i love him. That's how powerful he is, that's how his soul is beautiful. RIP.

I don't think anyone knows Syd's real vocal range cause he quit music soon afterward.

Probably the darkest yet most coherent song off the album. The chorus just owns.

Very arctic monkeys favourite worst nightmare isn't it

Syd Barret's music is pure, mysterious, to the core. I'm glad his uncommon value & creative talent is being appreciated more & more.

Surely one of Syd's best (and darkest) works. It amazes me sometimes, how Syd's songs can be sort of naive but complex at the same time (I'm just talking about his guitar playing here, not his lyrics). If you figure out how to play his songs, he isn't really a guitar virtuoso - he uses fairly standard chords and song structures - but he had a unique approach that was innately artistic and innovative. His work on the early Pink Floyd albums pioneered a completely different way to play electric guitar; he literally revolutionised the instrument... But in his solo works, we see a different side to his musicianship that doesn't rely on the ethereal tones and soundscapes he used with Pink Floyd. I'm so glad that we have this stuff to look at technically, but much more than that - these songs are a part of our lives and mean so much to us. What a legacy he left.

+GunproofGrandad He has an incredible sense of timing and its strange too because at times he is sloppy and constantly changes the timing and intensity.., but if you listen and love his music enough you start to realize its almost entirely intentional. I am convinced at times he goes out of his way to give some songs an awkward and free spirit. Yet somehow it all manages to compliment the bigger picture of what he is singing/writing about. If you want to hear an example of Syds incredible timing look up baby lemonade peel sessions. He plays a guitar solo in the middle and then another at the end. Funny, it was David Gilmore that plays the solo on the commercial Baby Lemonade and yet the Peel Sessions with Syd playing the solos completely blows its away. Its not incredibly difficult guitar work mind you but the timing is perfect and the feeling he puts out is intense. When I put Baby Lemonade on youtube and I hear that beginning Gilmore intro I abort and immediately look for the Peel session. Night and day.., I find it hard to believe they published the version they did.. only an idiot would have choosen that over the Peel session version but thats what David choose.. Go figure

I haven't listened to the Peel Sessions for years; I'll have to dig it out and have a listen. In fact the last time I heard it was before it had been commercially released. It's cool to hear Syd on the 12 string. I love 'Two of a Kind' and the enduring mystery of whether Syd or Rick Wright wrote it. :-)

I think he'd this thing about him, he was 10 or 15 years ahead of his time. I think he inspired the Goths early/ mid 80s.

The way he doesn't match up with the timing with his lyrics sometimes makes this somehow a lot more personal. God, what a special piece of music. The Madcap Laughs will always be my one of the most touching to me.

Only Syd has the talent for such an amazing song.

Der Großmeister der bittersüßen Melodien !!! Godfather of the bittersweet melody !!!

This sent chills through me. The stand up bass, the off-chorus vocal, the atonal guitar. The lyrics make my optic nerves ache, and I know that makes no mucking futzy sense audibly speaking, if you smell what I mean. I don't think I dare listen to three songs from this album in a row. Sharon would never forgive me.

My favourite Syd Barrett song

Otra de esas oscuras, abstractas, surrealistas, obras de Barrett. Excelente. Cómo casi todas sus composiciones, como solista.

Wish you were here’ is not just a tribute but an emulation of Syd’s approach here as an acoustic song that picks notes, at least to start, around the E minor chord. Glad they looked after him by establishing the structure through which they could continue to honour his vision.

i love him so much, been listenig his songs since i was 10 saludos desde argentina

He left behind the memories of those times because they upset him. I kind of know why but it’s sad for Syd.

Guitar sounds like something you’d hear in Red Dead Redemption after clearing out a gang hideout and you’re the only one left in a ghost town, making your way back to your settlement.

Essa música é uma das melhores do Syd em sua obra solo. Eu amooooo!

Can't believe that such an influential song as this has not had the views it deserves. Its a good job that a lot of pop stars after Syd listened to his music though. Roger waters took a long time after Syd to produce Dark side. At first Pink Floyd sounded and looked like a band without direction, a few flashes of of good stuff to come though. Syd took us on an inward journey of creativity and carried that on privately in his art. He commented years later that he couldn't believe all the fuss.

She was long gone, long, long gone She was gone, gone, the bigger they come The larger her hand 'till no one understands Why for so long she'd been gone And I stood very still by the window sill And I wondered for those I love still I cried in my mind where I stand behind The beauty of love's in her eyes She was long gone, long, long gone She was gone, gone, the bigger they come The larger her hand 'till no one understands Why for so long she'd been gone And I borrowed the page from a leopard's cage And I prowled in the evening sun's glaze Her head lifted high to the light in the sky The opening dawn on her face She was long gone, long, long gone She was gone, gone, the bigger they come The larger her hand 'till no one understands Why for so long she'd been gone And I stood very still by the window sill And I wondered for those I love still I cried in my mind where I stand behind The beauty of love's in her eyes She was long gone, long, long gone

this would have scared people back during its release

Thanks Leadhead444 for posting this haunting song. Actually, it would have been slightly better to have posted "Golden Hair" (which precedes this song) together, because they complement each other so well, but I'm not complaining, this is great.

My favourite Syd song

Just been flicking through the comments here ('lockdown', huh ? BS - more like : pan me if ya want - dgaF) and one Cynthia Marston made what I think is a very good point - to paraphrase : 'he left the memories behind cos they upset him too much'. This whole album has the sense of him withdrawing from everyone around him and retreating into himself (as I've said elsewhere), which I picked-up on first listen without knowing too much, or tbh being too interested, in the guy at the time. Obviously, my interest in SB has grown since then and he was clearly a talented and artistic chap but VERY sensitive : having worked a long time in the drugs/mental health treatment field myself, I still think it's sad what happened to him.

Is it just me or does anybody else think this sounds eerily similar to Is There Anybody Out There?

John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers does this as well as a few other Syd covers.. In an odd way I prefer the world doesn't recognize the beauty of this poetry.. it just makes it that much more special to me.

Grande no sentido de grande mesmo. Não sei se você conhece os primeiros álbuns da carreira solo do Frusciante. Caso sim, deve ter notado a influência de Syd Barret. Nesta música em específico, a forma como Barret canta duas vozes lembra o que Frusciante faz em diversas músicas próprias. Além do mais, Ele já cantou "Long gone" em pelo menos uma oportunidade, num show dos Chili Peppers.
