Syd was a genius. Syd was a giant. I feel so sad that his works didn't become famous that much, and the world didn't respond to his genius in his lifetime. And when we realized that we hadn't let a star blossom, the poor chap had grown old. A flower wasn't allowed to blossom when he had the energy of a young man flowing through him. And he is definitely better than The Beatles.
This is probably one of Syd's most simple pieces of work yet for me personally I find it one of his most beautiful. How I would have loved to have heard many more years of his voice as I also would have Ian Curtis.
Some of the over-the-top Barrett fans remind me of the people who mistook Chance the Gardener's simple statements for profundity in "Being There". Of course, Chance did walk on water in the end so who knows? ;-)
This video captures the dreamy, trippy, childlike quality that I find appealing about Syd, but I can't figure out why anyone would call something like this "genius". My favorite part is the piano work, which was added unbeknownst to Syd. Immensely evocative.
beautiful song, once he said that he liked quite music just as much as loud music and this song is a great example. It's quite and makes me feel happy somehow! GENIOUS! :)
@bethany3844 so you don't like pink floyds music after Syd left? dark side of the moon? the wall? wish you were here? and all that? i think it sounded pretty damn good. it's music, you shouldn't look to much into the musicians history i don't think
@bethany3844 Are you serious? Syd had an immense amount of musical talent, but when Roger started writing most of Floyd's work, it became apparent that Roger had just as good a grasp on music, if not better
not sure what to make of syd...his songs are great, he just seems to get lost in them or something...something missing in most of them...love to know what could have been
Great video!!.is this 'homeade'?...thanks for uploading
non puoi dirlo a nessuno e allora mantieni il segreto senza sorprese che gonfino gli occhi e il tempo che rimane diventa un'attesa che vale solo per te ciao come stai? lo penso soltanto e poi non parlo grazie di tutto va veloce la ragazza troppo non la raggiungo scompare dietro l'ansa quello che sembra non m'interessa non ce la faccio io non sono così fatti non fummo per perderci distratto da tanto ardore sta notte occhio non vede cuore non duole domani è un altro giorno amen
i knew a boy & i like him still, but he got diagnosed with schizophrenia & his whole personality changed & that's when i knew it was the end of the road.
you know Syd was a real gift when he could make a simple little tune like this sound so amazing. Thank god Gilmour had the patience to get all this stuff recorded.
I know that I have said this before. But, Goddammit, I'm gonna say it again. because it's the truth........I fucking love this video!

Soo sad that Syd was forced to leave the world of music... because of other fools who didn't listen to him.

One of the better songs on the 'Barrett' album. I, personally, like it more than 'Love You', which is more recognized.

Ditto, this is a painting but just constructed using music and poetry instead of a paintbrush, and if anyone can't see that, then hard lines to you.
Syd was a genius and an important inspiration to generations of future successful artists.
