Really a great song. Love the lyrics and the melody as well as the emotional journey it takes the listener on. Syd will always be a legendary singer songwriter and the Pink Floyd went down hill without him!
Fans consider this sad farewell piece as Barrett, already in the early recording sessions for A Saucerful of Secrets reduction delusional mood Syd and their minimal participation in the band due to his addiction to drugs psychoactive increasingly kept him away as can be seen in certain parts of the song: ("I do not care if the sun do not shine / And I do not care if nothing is mine" - "I do not care if the sun does not shine / And I do not care if nothing is mine ").
impresionante el manejo del estéreo que realiza por el final, ese efecto de que los instrumentos dan vuelta por la cabeza esta muy bien logrado, ideal para escuchar con auriculares.
the only one on this album I didnt like was Corporal Legg.... it spoilt the sublimity of the rest of the album. I wanted to drag a pin through the track so the needle would jump to the end of the album.
Holy shit, I'm a badass motherfucker (lol), but that song almost made me fucking cry. Shit, "goodbye songs" like this are so depressing, I still get chills after listening to it for 10 times.
I can't help but feel like an asshole because I say that Pink Floyd is my favorite band, but I haven't listened to any of their earlier albums, only their traditionally more popular ones. I just can't help but prefer those ones.
@ResidentStudios if you haven't, then do it. early Pink Floyd are mainly singles rather than concept albums. i like all pink floyd (except "Biding my time", "It would be so nice" and some from the last 2 albums), but these songs are genius

if you like syd's music, please check out my music! Search for Roger Delarge on facebook or youtube! Syd is my favorite artist and a huge inspiration for me! thanks ;)
i can so relate to the first lyrics of this song: "its awfully considerate of you to think of me here, and im most obliged to you for making it clear that im not here." so sadd but sooo good. i love this song so much.
Listen to Echoes, in a secluded area, with the lights off. It's the song that turned me to the huge PF fan I am now. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you.
Some people don't like this music... That's in 2nd place my Favorite music made by Pink Floyd. In 1st place was the music "Bike" with the vocals of Syd Barrett
this song kinda reminds me of john lennons strawberry fields, well i though of it when i heard this song.....probaly coz there so personl and speak the truth 2 them and to loads of ppl really
@taylorjaybass Well I know Pink Floyd recorded "The Piper At The Gates of Dawn" at the same time that The Beatles were recording "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Although Strawberry Fields Forever isn't on that album, it was intended to be, maybe they exchanged some ideas or similar tunes.....
Syd wasn't insane. He was naive and young,and did OD on acid and other substances. It was the wrong timing for this to happen to him,as he did not have time to mature. It's easy to look at someone who is handsome and talented and say what went wrong. He found it hard later on to start another band like what he had when he was in Pink Floyd. He just bailed out and moved on with his life.
@WorldMusicKollective He was devastated that he got pulled out of Pink Floyd, you can not Over Dose on LSD by the way, and correct Syd was not insane..
@WorldMusicKollective Ya society has gaven LSD a bad name over the past years forsure! People just truly misunderstood the concept of Albert's greatest creation there is no irreparable consequences of LSD and it is a astonishingly a safe substance and one of the least toxic chemicals known to man...
People like to assume what's worst about what they don't understand, in teh meanwhile here it is all laid out for you on teh platter. His sys Rosemary says something along the line: "They did not understand him so they pidgeonholed him". Let it go, people, STOP spreading the lie. He was a Diamond but not more crazy than yourself.
@VegaVelecka FINALLY SOMEBODY WITH SOME SENSE!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY appreciate what you've written here, I really do, because I love ♥Syd~Angel♥ with ALL of my heart & soul. I just CAN'T STAND IT when people call him "crazy" or, "Schizophrenic". It's all stupid bull shit!!!! He was just an innocent & sweet man. That's ALL there is to it
@66MadcapLaughs I agree Syds writing ability actually was getting better at the time he left Floyd He just couldn't deal with the pressures that commercial success and celebrity status brought on. Also he did have a personal doctor to slowly bring him back like Brian Wilson did.
when you actually understand what he is trying to communicate, its more sad than that scene from toy story 2. Don't pretend you don't know what im talking about.
Hey lets not feel sad for Syd. He had a great life. He got the chance to write some great songs for the world, he founded the greatest band ever, was able to do some good paintings, and had a great ride.
i listen to piper at the gates of dawn more than any othe pink floyd album, syd was deffinatly a musical genuis even though he went mentally insane, but i like is solo albums
who cares about how slipknot plays/writes their music and how pink floyd do it. pink floyd is a great band and maybe slipknot is too in their own way (i dont really know, im not a fan and dont care for them). and we shouldnt even compare them because they are two completely different bands.
i love how this song portrays what was going on in syds mind at the time, he was allready going mental from all those acid trips, this was the last track he did with pink floyd, this song feels like you are lost as he was, crazy how a song can do that, its a work of art,
beautiful point of syd to make upon his departure, and still the world sat back in awe of what pink floyd became, legendary , and yet it was tragic.......
That opening line is so heartbreaking and smarmy, "It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here, and I'm most obliged to thank you for making it clear, that I'm not here."
i wished people would listen to the Syd Era but everyone always starts at Dark Side and don't look back to Piper or Saucerful, i listen to every era and i like them but The Syd Era is the most interesting
@Mokenofrs Hell yeah. I have the entire Floyd discography and I listen to Relics and Saucerful of Secrets so much more than The Wall or Division Bell.
This is a totally rational, brilliant song for someone who is borderline schizophrenic. It makes perfect sense. In fact it's a masterpiece. It's fricking amazing, period.
I find the syd barret floyd to be so much more brilliant than the waters floyd despite my high regard for those albums. It bothers how most floyd fans I have met are unfamiliar with syd and the more psychedelic floyd.
who cares what other people listen to, just be happy YOU have found the wonderful sound of what we call Pink Floyd. Others most likely just don't get it
now that I listen to it I think you're right. I was just going off of what I read on a description on itunes (which probably isn't the best source...)
airhead doesn't mean stupid lol it means he was big headed like a ballon. he did take over the band he ended up driving out the keyboardist. watch "inside pink floyd". waters got frontman syndrome.
being on the fringe is something that is obvious to both parties involved...i think (imo) syd wasnt down with the same things the rest of the band was, he knew he was waning away, so did they, and they preemptively(sp?) prepared for his departure...wish you were here...
That last minute tears me up every time.........man I love this song

being on the fringe is something that is obvious to both parties involved...i think (imo) syd wasnt down with the same things the rest of the band was, he knew he was waning away, so did they, and they preemptively(sp?) prepared for his departure...wish you were here...
