Kevin Ayers - Singing a Song in the Morning

[alkemika]

Amazing...simply, amazing

[rigg63]

Syd was playing on an outtake of this song, included on a re-release of this record. That track has been here on youtube but it seem that it is removed. Sad becase the guitar is more insane on that track...

[TheBitterSweetgr]

I think the whole Syd thing is just a fairytale or a myth.....but Kevin plays just like Barrett combined with Lou Reed!!!!Fantastic track

[crissbarret]

de culto!! grande syd°!!°!!!

[Threepwoodist]

Kevin offered to give it to Syd for a single when Syd had went mad.

[stoopydoops]

@Threepwoodist its on the "vegetable man" bootleg album by syd barrett

[hoknes]

@stoopydoops - thats the album i bought in 1988 and learned it - such a great song !

[TheWrongBoyfriends]

Does any one know what the best chords are to use for this graet song ?

[lombardistefano]

very genious.............I love it !

[TheWrongBoyfriends]

Gruff done it

[ste8636]

So basically this song was three quarters Caravan and one quarter Kevin!

[merkabah2]

This here song is actually sung and done by my beloved friend, Syd Barrett :~)

[Threepwoodist]

@merkabah2 No it's not. Are you being serious?  Syd is playing the crazy guitar in the background. But this is Kvein Ayers' song and sung by him. I seen Kevin live, and he played it.

[sneakyrabbits]

this song is awesome and hilarious

[killuminati63]

loves it ! i was clearly born in the wrong era ( im 24 ) :)

[eamonosu]

theres something very steve miller about this song ( or vice-versa)

[eljuancito82]

I've heard this rumor that Syd had recorded the guitar and some vocals... but the info says it was recorded by Ayers.... who knows for sure.... Am I going mad?

[Omie789]

@eljuancito82 That's a different version.

[taljechin]

@eljuancito82

from wiki "The song was originally recorded with contributions from Syd Barrett on guitar although his parts were edited out of this release, only re-appearing on a 2006 reissue of the LP."

[MsBkirk]

@taljechin The version with Syd on is on the 'Songs For Insane Times' compilation, released in 2008.

[ChristineCreature]

@eljuancito82 i remember reading about that in 'wrong movements' robert wyatt.. there was something to it where it didn't happen i think..

[merkabah2]

@eljuancito82

This is definitely Syd Barrett :~)

[CircunferenciaPunga]

@merkabah2 This is definitely KEVIN AYERS sounding like SYD BARRETT
