IT IS REALLY FUCKING COMPLEX, there are so many layers of sounds one guitar is keeping the harmony, other guitar is painting a beautiful but abstract solo melody and the other is just there making mind blowing duck noises that reminds us of the last part of Bike. Meanwhile the voice sings an amazingly beautiful, honest and pure poem that's full of melancholy and can easily make you cry when you're in the mood...

Syd lives.

This song is here cause Syd was the vessel who brought it back to earth from one of his countless trips (i.e.instead of Apollo revealing himself to us).

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs of Syd, and of the late 60s/early 70s for that matter.

This song is timeless, it would never sound old.

​@@joannetelling his solo albums were technically Floyd projects in all but name. Nick is the only member who didn't participate, because he couldn't keep up with Syd's erratic timing. Even Syd's own replacement as Floyd's front man joined in (Gilmour), heavily. It was still Syd composing the pop stuff, getting weird on guitar, and heading the whole thing up, being the central talent as always. Madcap even has similarities to Dark Side, and Dark Globe sounds like The Wall. Throw in some extended jamming and his solo albums would be the next natural step for Pink Floyd (which he named) to have taken with him still as the leader. If the studio side of Ummagumma qualifies as a Pink Floyd album, Madcap and Barrett certainly should. They sound better than what Floyd were producing on their own anyway, at the time. They could've been recorded yesterday.

Definitely not just you reading the comments for both songs. I think most would agree with that, especially considering Graham Coxon considers Syd Barrett to be one of his major influences. Even though it's a common thing for people to say riffs are stolen.. it kind of seems more likely than not in this case (well, to me). But Blur did something really cool with it, and I'm glad nothing ever came up from that. It's really cool that people take influence from Syd's solo work even though it's clear not much time was put in, though that doesn't affect how great these songs are at all. I wonder if Syd Barrett would himself recognize it, or maybe if he heard it?

So sad and it make me cry, pain for a girl
