  • The spoken part:

    Gracie do her song, heavily spaced

    All the pink shine on war

    Explodes from beneath

    Don't you would rather

    Be out the front door sometime

    Long ago instead of being

    Cooped up like a catched rat?

  • The spoken part: All that in the afternoon, for that matter So she'd asked if we could stay with Grace Maybe a day or a couple of weeks You know, until Tuesday Pick up my mushrooms Clean my skin up Pick up some tissue Pick up the production It's all fine! you know And she served the wine and cups for 3 or 4 people And that nonsense
  • The spoken part:

    Tell me, Tell me

    Don't, if you?

    Stop that, that just upset yourself

    Listen, Listen, if you ask in person

    I'll stick to the joke, you know

    yelling and sceaming, help me!

  • 'Heavenly spiced I couldn't score , writhing on the carpet floor I felt her eyes flashing, as crystal alphabets read the fractal vortex mind, I died in her arms again and again..

  • And she served the wine

    and cups for 3 or 4 people

    And that nonsense

    Gracie do her song, heavily spaced

  • El tipo es adictivo para mí, él es una droga, porque sencillamente escucharle es fascinante, es hechizante. Me pregunto si todos los años del resto de su vida que pasó cortando el césped y dando vuelta la tierra para plantar sus flores, y pintar sus preciosas obras, el tipo acasó se imaginó que la música que logró iba a trascender las fronteras del tiempo y que tocaría emocionalmente a tanta gente, por Dios!, que bendición de hombre Dios mío! . God bless you my Tiny Syd!

  • the bass line is sweet ..

  • SandozSaxonWilliams: Speed turns the brain to mush and back in the day I always kept away from it. Back then, all one had to do was go to the family doctor and tell him or her that you felt depressed and they would write out a script. Many a housewife became druggies - some who either landed in that big house to become the first lady or almost became one. I don't want to name drop those who dropped what the early Beatles referred to as "prellies." Speed never enhanced thought processes.

  • what a genius...what an imaginary...pure English..İ wish he could go on making music. cause he did just a little but he became a leged to many people. i can't imagine what would he be, if he could go on...

    "shine on you crazy diamond!"

  • this WOULD be cool to watch if you were tripping, to bad i'm too old for all that. Shrooms only now i'm afraid.and the occaisional stick of pot.

  • It's been a long time. I came from the era when it was in pill form. The first time for me was a small blue tab with a peace sign on it. Wow! Totally knocked my socks off in 1969. It was Spring and the first day I noticed green on the trees. Later that year in the Boston Commons, got turned onto a little tiny white pill. Harvard University press stuff. A day later the dude wanted to buy the other 3 parts back. He refused to believe I took the whole thing. I did and it was a super melt of a time.

  • @pmoyer50

    a lot of amphetamine use in those days too that seems to go underacknoledged...much of what is believe to be LSD inspired was often speed induced as well

  • @SandozSaxonWilliams

    Dude what you're saying about amphetamine use is completely true.. in fact the splurge in creativity and imagination in the 60's early 70s has been attributed to the sleep deprived minds using these uppers (by some). anyone who's stayed up more than 2 days on speed, ahem not that id know personally, would know that the general fuzziness of mind plus auditory and visual hallucinations.. plus distorted thinking.. can give you a very different, some may say 'creative' outlook

  • @SandozSaxonWilliams

    similar to low-medium dose acid or VERY high dose of ol' MJ.. I mean, I once saw a wooden tribal figure standing on my desk throwing spears across the room at me ffs!

  • Psyclocybe Cyanscens is esp tasty and has always been in this country but is now firmly established in the UK I believe, though back in 1989 I was in the UK and had copious liberty caps which I found to be most pleasant like a mild LSD-25, with nice visuals and brain ripples like internal body orgasms-like being tickled inside, amongst the flashing from behind ones eyes :D I think everyone over 18 and of sound mind should have a trip-open their eyes and enhance the world-life is forever changed

  • LSDcoatedbrain is the man! Almost every good song is under his name. YOU ROCK DUDE.

  • more about your Xperiences on natural growing natures medi in the fields for us all to collect and enjoy .LSDCoatedBrain did at any time when doing mother natures remies did you have a spirtual , dimentions , other reality Xperience with others shared or on your own .The Youngbloods - Get Together the world .jj7

  • @maddogj7 Hmm, I think I understand what your asking... Yeah I did have allot of spiritual experiences. Nothing at all religious though, in fact the opposite. There is nothing like being on acid and simultaneously having a feeling of absolute physical pleasure, a feeling of oneness with everyone and everything, especially people you are with, and a realization of the vastness of the universe, or the complexity of life, evolution, or what have you. That is the definitive mind blowing experience.

  • @LSDCoatedBrain Riders of the Storm unite; somehow the message of masspsychosis (religion) should get out there; more people need to discover the Truth. Sadly, not everyone is fit to be a Rider. Groove on, brother.

  • @LSDCoatedBrain : chemical experiences are very different from spiritual ones for me...under lsd you are in artificial psychosis, you have the illusion you can touch the essence of everything, the AUM, if you see what I mean, but when you go down, there is nothing anymore, just your shadow which is bigger.

    When you have a real spiritual experience, even if it is not so intense, you keep it, you feel like you were hold...you feel your own light deep inside of yourself. Sorry for my bad english.

  • so LSDCoatedBrain do you do acid or do you just watch stuff for acid lysergyde is great for you when you r young but can be toooo heavy as you start toooo hate the world and the scumbaggs that run it and if youve dropped acid what did you drop

    micros mushies or tabs i have dropped them all black micros were awsome but a little tough on the cumming down stage . LOVE . .jj7

  • @maddogj7 Well, I DID do a ton of acid and mushrooms and stuff, particularly in high school when I made this little account. Although I haven't in a long time, more than a year. However... I still smoke copious amounts of weed. In my opinion you can achieve similar affects by smoking good weed a couple times a week. I don't mean similar psychoactive affects of course, but you can get the same sort of euphoric satisfaction.

  • 1:45 - 1:52 I love that moment

  • This song is hardcore powerful stuff, hear that distortion? The melody/rhythm of the song is amazing, I think REM's song "stand" may have derived from this, 21 guns by greenday maybe too but I dunno. I'm sure many songs were influenced by Syd but this song is OG musical craftsmenship.

    I agree that the limelight messed him up more than the acid, they say he had issues before acid but who knows. I've tripped a lot and yea I'm fukin nuts but I'm healthy, creative, and happy.

  • Great share trickyb67

    Thanks..

  • Is it possible to use some kind of audio editing software or something to make a version of this song with all the instruments removed and only Syd's voice remaining? I'd like to hear an a cappella version of this, so I'd finally be able to clearly hear what Syd sings in the last minute of the song.

  • I know there is, I have a friend who mixes stuff with a program. Each instrument is a line, as in their different tracks, idk, its hard to explain. Although I don't know what program it is. Also I think the file needs to be in a certain format. The reason why people in the studio can cancel out instruments is because they're usually on different tracks.

  • @LSDCoatedBrain and @DoctorPencilK Impossible. As LSDCoatedBrain said, if you have the 1969 original multitrack studio tape you'll have Syd's voice. But, once mixed, you just can't unmix the song. It's a physical impossibility.

  • It would have been so cool if somebody invented a machine or software that could recognize different instrumeents and vocals and be able to tell them apart.

    I think it's possible to seperate the two tracks on stereo mixes, though.

  • @DoctorPencilK - Only if the vocals are on one channel and the backing on another.

    David Gilmour said recently that he has most of the parts in digital format on a drive - as well as all the un-released stuff.

    He is thinking about piecing them all together, mixing them, and generally getting them ready for a future release.

    I hope so!

  • @LSDCoatedBrain What you speak of is witchcraft! Witchcraft!

  • @LSDCoatedBrain

    If you want to do yourself a favour, just make sure to stay the fuck away from ice.

    Ain't no good about that shit.

  • @DoctorPencilK I saw what he says written out on a website somewhere, I can't remember where it is now, however. But really, it isn't meant to be understood; he wrote songs for the subconscious, and the end of this song is clearly there for that effect-- it completes the song without you consciously being aware that it does so. That's why his music is so mysterious and so enrapturing.

  • Yeah, perhaps you are right. It's hard to tell anything for sure when it comes to Syd and the music he made, but I suppose that's what makes his songs so great and creative.

    I believe I hear "Tell me, tell me, tell me", "Grace sings you her song" and "China wars" in the end, but I might be wrong about that.

  • @DoctorPencilK "tellme tellme tellme...listenlistenlisten...­" now someone else's turn. I'm sure we could get it; have you got it yet?

  • This song should have been on the Wouldn't You Miss Me song collection CD because this is one of the coolest songs on The Madcap Laughs.

  • Yeah, it's cool. But it's just a bit too weird as well.

  • 1990 was a very good year to hear "The Madcap Laughs". It was either that or Jesus Jones....

    Yeah, thanks Syd!

  • cool- thanks for sharing.

  • fuck Syd is so good i just wanna be inebriated to this

  • Syd barrett would have been great with the velvet underground

  • Wow, I've never thought of that. He definitely would though.

  • interesting nickname you have ...lol

  • Haha, thunk yuh

  • @syddanelectro Velvet Underground would never had been founded without the influence of Syd Barret.

  • @Fodvorte Why do you say this?

  • @traphouse8 because what syddanelectro wrote was impossible. when velvet underground had anything to say, syd was vegetable man.

  • great sound, syd barrett is genuis

  • What about love you?

  • Syd was a marvellous musician. This son can probe. ¿Who play the bass on this song?

  • It was Roger Waters. This was recorded after he left Floyd, but he and the band still were close.

  • actually it was hugh hopper from soft machine, this was one of the tracks that soft machine played on from "the madcap laughs."

  • Hmm, I didn't even consider that. I knew that Roger played on some, and I knew Soft Machine did allot of stuff with Syd. Thanks for pointing that out.

  • Hello there. This isn't Soft Machine - that drumming is far too straight for Robert Wyatt, and there are no keyboards. The only song they recorded with Syd that made it onto Madcap was 'No Good Trying' ('Clowns and Jugglers' later turned up on Opel). I don't think it's Roger Waters either. From what I have heard, they would assemble bands for the backing tracks as needed. Jerry Shirley on the drums would be a decent guess, but I have no clue who played bass. Definitely not Soft Machine though.

  • John "Willie" Wilson played bass and Jerry Shirley drums. They also recorded Here I Go on the same day.

  • trip that he never made it back to the same place in reality that he started from. I think that's reflected in the quality of his music, which, sadly seemed incomplete in many respects. The brilliance is still there, however it seems diminished. Again, sadly.

  • This is the only music I truly love and understand. It's been personnel to me for a long time and it seems weird that so many other people listen to it. Good to know there's other astralpipers out there.

  • yay for this video

  • I can't understand why he is not famous, I mean big famous like Hendrix or Jim Morrison. His music and his life are simply incredible. Love his music.

  • 2 thousand views? I guess he really didnt get a whole lot of recognition as a musician outside of pink floyd... Up until recently i had never stumbled across any of his work outside of pf but i love it keep posting Thank You!

  • but thats the beauty of his music. I stumbled onto it 30 years ago when I thought owning DSOTM or Wish you were here meant I was a floyd fanatic. Remember, Syds music was written 4 decades ago! and it was such a short period of time, not many people realize just how many dozens of songs he wrote.

    If I had to guess, Syd would have wanted only true diehard/fanatics in his circle. It was the limelite that helped ruin him and bring out his mental illness, not the drugs..

  • oh come on! he fucking fried himself....it was common knowledge back then......too much acid can be an awfully dangerous thing.....this is better than most of his solo stuff though, but nowhere near what Pink floyd were doing at the same time

  • Couldnt disagree..

    Funny- I did alot of LSD and not proud to admit it? However I am self employed and have been successfull at trading equities for nearly 20 years something not many people can say. Im very sane, and very productive, and very happy.

    Drugs are blown out of proportion- and ironic that nearly 70% of this country is hooked on 'legal' drugs and I see zombies walking around everywhere.

  • I understand where you're coming from, BUT, at the same time I think serveral things are relevant here. I tripped around 600 times myself, and I am not in the least bit ashamed of it either. So much of your mental state and objectives while taking acid determine where you go, as you are aware of, I'm sure. I think Syd wanted to get to the outer limits, as it were, and I think he made it. There is no guarantee however that one will come back the same. And I just think after he had the big

  • Gotcha- fair enough.. that was a great post, and hit the point right on.. In my old age now I just smoke alot of pot but I dont think tripping will ever again be on my agenda just because it would take too much of a toll on my body : ( I guess now that I think about it? Your right- im not ashamed of having tripped.. and Im certainly not ashamed that Im still a pothead : )

    I do wish the remaining floyd including Waters would get back for one more shot at it.. I think they will??

  • Great song thanks!

  • I love this song!!!!!!!!!

  • BARRETT most relevant artist of all times!!!!!!!!!!!!! end of story. Great vid.

  • One of my fav's from Madcap , 5 Stars !!!

  • Thanks man, glad you liked it.

  • Amazing song.. with no good trying the best on the album....

    I love the short solo in the middle.

    cheers to all who love the song

  • my favorite one from madcap

  • Yes same here. The end of its so awesome, it was at first supposed to be understandable, but the recording equipment messed up, and Syd decided to leave it.

  • looks a bit like hamia i bet

  • i sound up myself
