3 Syd Barrett Tunes From The Album 'Barrett'

[firemachima]

this music isnt too bad considering his breakdown

[Khultan]

 Bah.

[RadioUgly]

It's like Tim Curry or something. ha

[TheRingo524]

Rats :)

[WHOBYFIRE333]

I am so happy to have an original Vinyl !!!!

[Sydwayman]

smoke some weed and listen to "Maise", Bends my mind

[ArnoldLayne6614]

Oh Syd, lo siento tanto, pero olvidé el 7 de julio, y acabo de acordarme, es tan tarde.

[McQueensMustang]

"Dimples dangerous and blessed." yeah.

[nowoolovermine]

I haven't listened to this for 30 yrs but still remember most of the words

[ziffels]

I would have loved a traditional country cover record by Barrett, Zappa and Beefheart. Like a 3 disc set of their interpretations of Acuff, Scruggs, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzel, Hank Snow, The Carters, Bill Monroe, etc.

Man I am so hungry.

[claudiapearljam]

I love all Syd songs, his voice is too sexy, clear, and strong...Was a perfec man...a genius, artist, his magic was to do some amazing and extraordinary of somethings simply ..the life is like that, I guess he knew it.

[TheeReturn]

'Bad luck the Bride of a Bull' ha ha.

[NamrevlisMaes]

echo-headed-raw genius

[Q2W3e4r5tss]

Rats is very cathcy

[opticalvibes]

That's a trip, I remember seeing this album cover back in early 80's at tower records,thinking it was wellcome to my nightmare,without alice on the front..

[lorinufie]

i love Syd ! he was a truly phenomenal artist and musician...I know we will meet one day in the next life...what a creative unique individual

[cokeydear]

My favorite off here is definitely Wolfpack :)

[lsdmadman]

jay-zus,,,what bizarre lyrics,,,haint no one like our Syd....true artist who went beyond the edge and what else is true art, fellow zaniez...??

[humantroch]

can you upload the rest of the songs from thise album?

please

i'll aprisiate that

[anitasseo]

suena a shileno hablando en ingle

"i aprisiate chu güevón, cachaiiii"

:P chistecito bienintencionado

[catgumart]

there are a lot of people who will never understand or appreciate music like this, im glad im not one them!

[adetik1]

@catgumart Same here, Mac. People seem to view it as a Us V.S. Them thing. Creepy, huh.

[beetname]

he was way ahead even gilmoure says he did some great stuff during this time. so many great crazy artists over time

[ohnoesfedzilla]

if u ask me were all the fools here for trying to figure out someone else's experiences. it doesnt really matter what it means because after all we all just want to be entertained, the entertainer is only satisfying our empty needs for some fulfillment. if u ask me, to understand an artist you would have to be an artist yourself, of the same caliber at least.

[andrew2tone]

what a moron this guy is

[PostToastie]

Yes you are.

[opticalvibes]

I have madcap "CD'', is this the first record he did after saucerful of secrets?

[anitasseo]

yeah, think so too

[SetoBaagh]

i dont there's anyone who can and could play guitar as good as Syd.

[MadcapLover]

I've listened to all three of Syd's solo alboms. Persoally, I love them all; personal to him or not. It doesn't really matter to me. It's just really good music.

[samdeakins]

if syd were alive today im sure he would be laughing at you all for taking his music so seriously

if the stories of his lsd use are true

and we know that lsd disassociates us with reality, a sort of matrix like existence

then surely he wouldnt write songs about such deep complex thoughts

he was afterall quite the comedian.

[stalkek]

We know LSD disassociates us from reality? We know this? The very reason ppl take hallucinogens through time & across cultures is because they immerse us deeper in reality. If things go wrong & one gets paranoid, then disassociation kicks in. Either way, to be treated with alot of care.

[julianindica]

Thanks so much for posting these. Youtube's weird compression makes the vinyl subtleties jump up like phantoms from under the stairs. BARRETT LIVES, maaaaan!!

[vauxhall908]

hello again going to N.Y.C> tonight to play maybe i'll do some of Syd's songs alot of the younger people don't know who he is, i do thanks to my uncle playing records when i was a 30 yrs. younger...

[PostToastie]

everyone always loves effervescing elephant, anything off of the piper will work, too, like bike, the gnome or lucifer sam, some of Syd's songs, though, are a little too slow and/or weird for most crowds. have fun with it, good luck!

[popgoiuuod]

Vaux- you should set up a mailer and let some of us east coasters know when and where!? I for one would love to see some Syd covers..

Posttoastie made an excellent point- choose carefully.. even some of the biggest (new age) floyd fans take years before they realize where/what of Syds music.. but oh boy when it hits you its like nothing my ears have ever or will ever hear again : )

By the way- thanks for all your efforts Posttoastie.. Its much apprecaited!

[Windyfur]

well, I can't say it's my favorite music, mainly because I'm too slow to figure out the lyrics whatsoever. Doesn't mean you can't like it, though.

[PostToastie]

There is no figuring out the lyrics, syd claims in the song 'Bike' that most of his lyrics are 'hogword', but he and the boys (went into the room of musical tunes and)made them work.

[alexthemod1]

yea...sum people think wot he writes is extremely poetical and try to figure out wot it means..i think most of the barrett album is about nothing, just random lyrics..but a few tracks and alot of madcap laughs are very poetical indeed.

[Patavinity]

Well, I think his Floyd songs have more meaning than his solo stuff.

[alexthemod1]

his solo songs are way more personal...just harder to figure out. its hard to decide whether its deep poetry or complete nonsense. i guess we'll never know.

[imperialpod]

Yes you will know!

Syd was stuck between 2 worlds, 1 was ours and 2 the afterlife,the dream world few of us are conscious enough to remember!

Its hard doing both and makes one seem a little wierd. Psychics experience the same, as did Syd!

'All night, TV, teeth V peace feeling'

'Spot, knock inside a spider' = Kabalah!

WATCH YOUR DREAMS!

[imperialpod]

Ever wondered what those things in your eyes are, they're called floaters, they look like lines joined together with little dots, tiny things and they NEVER dissapear!

KABALAH, and they are there for a reason, and it aint good!

KEEP WATCHING THOSE DREAMS!

[imperialpod]

Its about the afterlife, lizards and rodent humans that live underground in your dreams!

[DoctorSensitive]

Syd Barret was a transdimensional being from another galaxy.

[SydShines4ever]

Oh yes. And,this song,so prophetic,shows us so.

[tumultus101]

all three songs are amazing!!

you should have put the extra vocals version of maisie.. its even trippier

[Ultraciuk]

Rats and wolfpack i love these songs

[oseum]

yes I'm thi....nking of this yes I am.

[mf0rz]

FUCK YEAH!!! (ignore all text comments -- obsolete)

[SkopTeocratico]

Syd Barrett GENIUS

[thisyearsgirl13]

"All night, tv, teeth, feet, peace, feel it" was the most fun graffitti I've ever written. Thanks to Dan DePasque; I wouldn't have known Syd if it weren't for him. That's love, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

[imperialpod]

NO NO NO. The lyrics on the web are all WRONG. 'TV, teeth V, peace fealing' 'Dark the way tin east is less, De-craving of the metal west. Hell tomorrows rain and test' Seething wet we meet in fleck'

I could explain what they mean but it would take a while, Syd was ahead of everyone and these lyrics prove it.

[DDP1977]

"Thanks to Dan DePasque; I wouldn't have known Syd if it weren't for him."

See? Now this is what I find when I google my name... heh heh...

[heyaidkwhut]

Rats is such a killer song dontchya think...love ya syd...RIP Sir.

[imperialpod]

The lyrics on the web are WRONG!

[sugareagle]

lines and winds and ultimatly occult in nature.far reaching waves and i lay as it surrounds all immesing and it does hover.tis beyond four wwinds.tears away in the hour ,drift with blanched bones.

[imperialpod]

The lyrics on the web are all WRONG too.  'TV, teeth V, peace fealing' 'Dark the way tin east is less, De-craving of the metal west. Hell tomorrows rain and test' Seething wet we meet in fleck'

The ones on the net are crap and the above are the correct ones. Gonna take ages to get them changed. Barrett was in front of everyone.

[imperialpod]

Yea, 'And i'm wondering who could be writing this song'= POSSESSED!

He should have layed of the Crowley!

[scottudell]

I love the song "Wolfpack". It sounds like what the Floyd may have sounded like if Syd remained in the band.

[miltduhilt]

You feel me

away far too empty, oh so alone!

I want to go home

Oh find me inside of a nocturne - the blonde

how I love you to be by my side

they wail...

[woofwoofkats]

damn he really was crazy

[DWYLBTZLE]

the deep craving of the metal west

hell-tomorrow's reigning test

held tomorrow's raining test

DIMPLES DANGEROUS AND BLESS'D

yes yes yes yes

[imperialpod]

'De-craving of the metal west'

'Hell tomorrows rain and test'

'All night TV, teeth V peace fealing'

[DWYLBTZLE]

love an empty silent guest DIMPLES DANGEROUS AND BLESS'D HEAVING WRITHING TINKLING INK MINGLING JETS AND STATUETTES SEETHING WET WE MEETING FLECK SEETING WET WE MATING FLECK LINES AND WINDS AND CRIBBIDGE LAUGH AND EACH FAIR DAY I GIVE YOU HALF I LOOK INTO YER EYES AND YOU PLAY PIN THE SUN FOR YOU

[imperialpod]

'Seething wet we meet in fleck'

ergo.... pixels, the kind that will exist in virtual reallity when it finally comes out, 40 years after this man was already in it.

[trentacid008]

thank you.

[FIXIErider]

Reminds me of the Velvet Underground.

[SlugThumper]

Jeez, even when Syd wasn't trying his hardest he was still great. Wolfpack is an awesome song. What sort of catalogue of songs would he have left if he hadn't experienced his problems? A shame.

[vauxhall908]

good ???

[SlugThumper]

Er, that was a rhetorical question

[fanpinkfloyd]

Not bad but Wish you were here is better^^

[vauxhall908]

wish you were here is about syd you must be a big fan and if you listen the rest of the members kept going with his sound.

[tumultus101]

wish you were here is pink floyd mooching of the last bits of cash tied to the barrett persona ;)

[KeithHarbaugh]

wish you were here is a wonderful three dimensional sound that can catapult you into space

[tumultus101]

i didn't say it's not good ;) I love the two extended shine on parts and i like welcome to the machine. rick wright did some of his best work on that album. But they did cash in on the barrett image nevertheless

[therenegade06]

syd had the ability to put much more into his music, but i think he didn`t give a shit.

[PopeCosmic]

When he put his all into music it was rather scary. Ever heard of the "have you got it yet?" catastrophe?

[shandala965]

awesome songs!

[yoyoyoav]

good song :-)
