Pink Floyd - See Emily Play

[Letsbehippi]

People said that Syd is an error in Pink floyd , without syd theres no pink floyd , its because of him that pink floyd have been successfull

[wildman0945]

does anyone know that this song was originally going to be called " three games for may" after one of the lines in the chorus. they actually had a concert back in the early days titles "three games for may"

***** float on a river, for ever and ever, Emily *****

[shippodna]

@MsEms89 your name is see emily play?

[snautrocket]

i thought this was the beetles

[MoondogGuitarist]

@snautrocket the beatles* and this is most def not the beatles

[CastfireTheAwesome]

@snautrocket Their voices don't even sound like The Beatles.

[mick59707]

@CastfireTheAwesome No much better,but thats my taste,enjoy it anyway.

[johncuschieri]

had an ex girlfriend named Emily and she could play but with all the other boys as well.

Hope she is happy

[3MIID3MM]

@MsEms89 Me too :)

[therealsoulproduct]

It's like....GROOVY MAN!!!!!

[reverendkrv]

<3 this,probably my favourite floyd track :)

[Andrea3021]

@MsEms89 SO lucky haha

[fingerprint211b]

@MsEms89 I LOVE YOU MsEms89

[fingerprint211b]

@MsEms89 your name is Play?

[suppapimp1615]

@MsEms89 aw...your parents were most likely acid heads :)

[tabowers215]

Great song! RIP Syd Barrett!!

[rocknguitargrl]

This makes my heart explode! <3

[MrMAKKADER]

@MsEms89 =) Be my gf? LOL

[Hippiefreak97]

Trippy song...

[DnTTrix08]

i'm a confused young boy who was named after this song:)

[153anthony8901]

wtf the beatles bitch smoking crack dude alot of songs sounded like this at this time u idiot

[BeatnikGuitarist]

@153anthony8901 actually.. Pink Floyd willingly admitted they were inspired by The Beatles. The reason why a lot of the songs sounded like that back than is because nearly every band that came after was inspired by The Beatles.

[153anthony8901]

@BeatnikGuitarist oh.....

[Kelly14UK]

And after this gem, comes... Remember A Day...

[TheHabit00]

@Kelly14UK my favorite tune

[CHANCHOFACE]

@Kelly14UK on the relics lp

[CallMeMsTaurus]

is it just me, or does this sounds a little bit like beatles stuff?

[IamNowJMAN]

@CallMeMsTaurus More like a more out there Zombies.

[BeatleFloydify]

@CallMeMsTaurus Yeah thats what I thought

[emXa7x]

i was named after this song :))♥

[Kelly14UK]

@emXa7x And a very, very pretty name it is too!

[MrEfslrg1]

THIS IS A STRANGE VIDEO OF THE BEGINNINGS OF PINK FLOYD,IS ONE CLEAR EXAMPLE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY EVOLUTION OF THIS WONDERFUL AND TREMENDOUS GROUP

[Trogdorwillrise]

@MrEfslrg1 TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK

[DnTTrix08]

Honestly what the hell is this every1 is like i named my child after this i am named after this, this song has NOTHING to do with your stupid name.

[Qaos55]

This and Matilda Mother are 2 of my favorites from Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Syd Barrett was, in my opinion, one of the great song writers of the generation that no one knows about. Pink Floyd was OK after they sort of let him go but the '66-'68 Pink Floyd are the superior incarnation.

[sticklego]

My girlfriend's name is Emily......(:

[resistanceXX1]

this is 20th century's art, no matter what your name is.

[WilkinatorGladiator]

Was Emily 12?

[hoopsten]

i'm Emil

[abcdefghijklm133]

i wasnt named after this song

[KAehmilee]

I was named after this song♥

[emsmalee]

@MsEms89 Me too! :DD

[justaddcorn]

people who don't like syd don't Get It poor souls

[dannydavis94]

I gotta say, Pink Floyd is way better without Syd...

[ClassicRockfan79]

@dannydavis94 i agree, im a big pink floyd fan, i just dont care much for their most early stuff, ive done my damn best to force myself to like it, but i just dont. but every thing from about 1971 and up was great..

[PunkyPink85]

I too, was named after this song... lol <3

[DnTTrix08]

@PunkyPink85 so who cares it is just a name doesn't mean anything this is about a girl he saw when he was on psychadelics.

[PunkyPink85]

@DnTTrix08 You're rude. This song is special to me. I hold it close my heart. And yes, I do know the story behind this song, thank you very much. You're just a typical internet troll. Just trying to pick a fight with some girl named Emily. Pshh...I'm wasting my time on you. And no, the name Emily isnt just a name.

[DnTTrix08]

@PunkyPink85 LOL i am not trying to pick a fight but I am just saying we don't care if your name is emily how does this relate to this song, it's like if I was named syd i wouldn't go on one of his vids and say "oh look how special I am, I am named after a psychadelic legend praise me" you know it's just annoying.

[PunkyPink85]

@DnTTrix08 Whatever

[DnTTrix08]

@PunkyPink85 yea what ever go listen to some kanye west and lady gaga

[iheartdonut]

this is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time. right up there with War Pigs, the Battle of Evermore, and Magic Dance.

[tootinggal123]

omg - so many memories - being nearly 13 at Pontin's Holiday Camp in Chichester & believing that my life was about to change forever ...........!

[bacala777]

@MsEms89 Your parents must've been serious acid heads...

[Lateralus082]

@bacala777 dont be an asshole.

[usarocks97]

My name is Emily c;

[HumSukPro]

@usarocks97 hehe same!

[WeGoLIVEx]

this song never gets old. Syd Barrett later explained how this songs meaning was made up. He made up that he was slept in the woods and woke up seeing a girl for the song to be more interesting. "All for publicity" is what he said exactly

[VanDoodah]

Syd Barrett was the best psychedelic pop songwriter ever.

[GarryMcFarlane]

My daughter's named after this,

[bobmanny11]

best high ever....

[JRob95]

Love this song. Makes me think about my Emily. :)

[THEDRIVEN60]

R.I.P Syd Barrat

My little cousin is called Emily, so evrytime I see her i think of this song

her little sister is called Lucy so I always think of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

its scary

[xTetrahydro]

@THEDRIVEN60 more like trippy ;)

[THEDRIVEN60]

@xTetrahydro haha very trippy :L

[Stemax1960]

Dunnnno why, but I always think this sounds very Lennon and McCartney.

[CentraCross]

@Stemax1960 Perfect Harmonies with heavy accents? Don't see how that could be Beatlesque ... =)

[BeatnikGuitarist]

@Stemax1960 I agree. This song does heavily sound like A song writtin by The Beatles, but the sound is pretty unique. Not quite like Lennon or McCartney's voice.

[Kelly14UK]

@BeatnikGuitarist This isn't from Piper, but legend has it that they were all in the same studios recording Piper and Sgt Peppers.

[zet415]

a webo aguante pink floyd

[noproblem53]

This song along with Status Quo Matchstick men and Beegees new york mining disaster 1941 are without doubt the best songs these bands ever made--not that the later stuff was bad but these are just so raw and honest

[TheBlueCream]

excellent upload..gr8 sound!..thanks !

[LomovNizni]

Perfeeect :)

[F3FisGoodforYou]

It was the time when Pink floyd sounded like The Beatles, I hate that... I don't say it's bad but it's definitely not the period of pink floyd I like...

[settler18]

does matisyahu's one day sound kind of like that one part of this song

[olliemad]

this song fucking rocks!

[romanjor]

If you don't understand it it's because it's called Head music. Just listen to it with your eyes closed on acid deep in your HEAD.

[emmianime]

@MsEms89 Same.

[sorahana9]

this song is horible

Please someone rescues Emily

[sillycivilian]

@sorahana9 hahahah toki???

[fjollornaz]

@sorahana9 ummm.... what? 

[MasterTur1]

@sorahana9 please, before saying such things, try to get some music culture

[MrKutkop2]

@MsEms89 your called play?

[MrKutkop2]

I click astronomy domine and get see emily play. Not bad but what the hell.

[Nemacyst117]

Groovy

[desotowright]

I love Pink Floyd. I actualy wish Syd Barrett hadn't had to leave, his stuff was always so marvelous and often very bright and whimsical.

[Claudiobenyossef]

Moraisito  - The best...

[DerOberstKrieger]

Early Pink Floyd is The Beatles mixed with more freedom and progressivism.

As they kept playing and evolving (and after they lost Syd Barrett), they started to get a lot more experimental.

All of Pink Floyd's eras are brilliant in their own right.

[Falc0nPAWNCH]

My girlfriend's name is Emily, and she loves Pink Floyd!

[BlueLuap]

Acid is the only way to fly. I first flew in the late sixties and have never been gounded since, I 've seen Emily play and been to the moon and back. The crazy diamond Syd was a gem. See you in the big gig in the sky.

[daliithaflow]

i´m lesbian xD i love pink floyd

[NyeTunes]

@daliithaflow You being a lesbian has absolutely nothing to do with Pink Floyd... it's like, "good for you??"

[sadsappysucker420]

@NyeTunes Ha!

[DnTTrix08]

@NyeTunes LOLOL

[DanielJoseDiego]

@daliithaflow I love hot lesbians, are you hot? =D

[daliithaflow]

@DanielJoseDiego hahaha xD i´m sooooooooooo hot :P

[diperrimax]

@daliithaflow wow you came out on youtube. greaatt

[rclarkbow]

@SuperNevile makes sense, but I stand by what I said lol

[emmywarrior]

I like hearing them sing my name XD

[Glen2k1]

And no one knows if she's real

[SuperNevile]

@Glen2k1 Supposedly Emily Young, daughter of Lord Kennet, who used to hang out with the Floyd in the early days when she was a teenager. She became a notable British sculptress.

[rclarkbow]

"it's unclear whether Emily was real or a drug induced hallucination" after that Syd Barret lost his mind, and despite all that people still take LSD today...

[SuperNevile]

@rclarkbow Barrett later stated that the story about sleeping in the woods and seeing a girl before him was made up "...all for publicity."

[CatastrophicDisease]

Meh, I love Pink Floyd's Gilmour stuff, and I definitely respect Barrett as a musician, but too much Beatles-like stuff here IMO

[tobygeorgian]

i love it

[wizotch]

this one goes out to my musical sister Emily i love you Emily.

[SuperNevile]

"Emily tries,but misunderstands, she's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams until tomorrow" ~ pass the Lewis Carroll please.

[Gothicpincess1993]

I really like this song! especially cause my name is Emily!

[Glen2k1]

Emily

[Doc4orUgs]

i bet they would have broken up. with my limited archaeological knowledge. they would be The Hollies or something. they wouldn't be around until the wall that's for sure. to all of you. you're OLD!!! MUAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! good song though.

[emilytjardes13]

it's my name haha

[gtgene]

This was recorded May 1967 at Abbey Road studios,same time period as Beatles' Sgt. Pepper.

[Danyhg92]

Sounds like the beatles? I don't think so, though I respect both bands, pink floyd is another matter, they're way to great to be compared (with or without Syd)

[elainedecimo]

this song would be bad ass to trip on acid to

[elainedecimo]

this song would be bad ass trip on acid to

[kurtcobain628]

this is so fucking weird yesterday i also too had a dream and there was this girl emily in it

[Maryonpark]

Written about Emily Young apparently, a girl Syd knew at the UFO in London.

[doexedude]

My name is emily !!

[TheRaulSantana]

@doexedude

kibom em (y)

[elijaaaah20091]

the MUSIC is like the combination of THE DOORS and THE BEATLES.

:)

[MrJaybee61]

1:04 ......."gazing through the trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow"..........gives me goosebumps!

[MrJaybee61]

Awesome awesome vocals. Wish they would have made this song longer.

[LBJstevenash13]

floyd was better with Syd i think

[shaneh1983]

great song

[emmywarrior]

My name is Emily

what am I playing?

[michaellee2101]

he did go crazy but he died not that long ago

[Jrsygirrl]

@michaellee2101 what happened to Syd that he went crazy?

[vilyn2n]

this still sounds good.yum

[KevinChristopherClay]

it's like an ultra refined MGMT, wonderful.

[moobert22]

@KevinChristopherClay please for the love of god dont compare this legendary band to mgmt

[Tsuta]

@KevinChristopherClay Please man, don't even compare them to the floyd.

[TheLeeWilsonMovement]

love love love

[Shpankerton]

haha, I love how it says "it is unclear if 'Emily' was a realy person or a drug induced halluciantion" good old Syd

[nostalgiahistoria67]

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ddonuts5]

Dont get me wrong, but i honestly like floyd after barret left. I dont know why. Its just that it sounds much more meditated and thought out. Early floyd sounded like they were making it up on the spot. But i still do love this song and album.

[nonesta13]

@Ddonuts5 i agree

[ejdbk]

wow

i can't get enough of this song

[ladidah9]

Very strange to think that they were working on The Wall about a decade later. Wow.... times change.

[flimbambo]

Beautiful song. I named my 2nd daughter after this. R.I.P. Syd.

[theonlyantony]

Emily was real and is still alive. I have an article about her somewhere. i seem to semember she was 17 and Syd was about 20

[BrokenChair88]

Thank God Pink Floyd fed him acid to get him out of the band.

[Gold753]

That and all the loud music. Everyone seems to forget that people who listen to Syd's music are connected to the mentally insane. Roger couldn't stand listening to it so he drugged him to accelerate the problem, which could've happened anyway. Can't blame Roger. Syd's music was boring and repetitive anyway.

[BrokenChair88]

Pink Floyd wrote "Dogs".

[1997ozmar]

me encanta esta cancion es genial y tiene buen sonido felicitaciones

[THEMARITOBISENSEI]

great psychadellic song

[han09hague]

syd barrett man, what a shame =[ ty x

[ValkyriaQueen]

how you can not love PF?

[YearOfTheBandicoot]

Well that sucked!

[nuggbubbler]

Blessed is Syd, who fried his brain so that man may experience the sound that is Pink Floyd, and know that the shit rocks.

[Aprendizmusic]

if psychedelic sounds you seek...stop by my channel and watch my vids.

[punkkiari]

hey my names emily :D

[ir0nmaiden1]

the starting is badass!

[SuperNevile]

See Emily Play, Itchycoo Park And Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane were the greatest singles ever! !!!!

[SuperNevile]

@SuperNevile I would like to add, RIP Syd, Steve, Ronnie and John ~ those 3 singles were original both lyrically and musically

[BlueJoe21]

S-Y-D

B-A-R-R-E-T-T

[MrBluesy91]

the eternal sunshine of spotless mind!!

[sigmundfloyder]

I'm feeling very pink.

[dubblewalker]

@sigmundfloyder I'm feeling equally psychedelic.

[PsychedelicRockFan1]

@dubblewalker very psychedelic

[dubblewalker]

@PsychedelicRockFan1 purple's the actual colour of haze.

[tehtruepervert]

im an emily

[Aikito666]

personaly i love psychedelic rock more than anyother type of music,thats why i say pink floyd is better then syd,but i still think there prog.rock was good as well

[Aikito666]

@Aikito666 better with syd sorry

[fightinfarrell]

introduce this to any1 who hasnt heard anything from the 50s till late sixties and they would tell you the source came from area 51,but how did she know.only sgt pepper came close to it and the beach boys too maybe.fuckin beautifull xx

[Mis4life]

i'd say this would make any emily happy to hear this song :)

[mightywind99]

Awesome song! Thanks for posting! 5 Stars!

[DreamsofRay]

my father drummed Pink Floyd into me all of my childhood and it worked, I can't doubt how amazing they are, even now.

[allieesunn1]

@DreamsofRay same with my dad and now they're my favorite band and most likely always will be:)

[jtxhorns]

@DreamsofRay pink floyd is one of those bands that are great no matter what generation u are from.

[SkeeterArvizu]

@DreamsofRay My Grandpa hammered Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Queen into my brain as a child. Thank god. If it weren't for that I might be listening to Kanye West or whoever else, I honestly don't care enough to learn their names xP

[emramo21]

hey my names Emily :D

[lebowskirulz]

I keep wondering how different Pink Floyd would have sounded if Syd kept his act together for future albums.

[clashboy1977]

i'd say they'd sound better if syd was in a good state of mind!

this is their best song in my opinion so i just wish he had have! (i love gilmour though) but you can't beat this 4 me!

[BLastyboW]

makes you think tho huh?
