I can only imagine him pronouncing every lyric that one of his best friends who had lost his mind wrote, all about losing his mind, every syllable must be a clogging jerk in David Gilmour's throat....a very nice cover, doesn't capture the same.....zaniness as Syd, but....No one could but Syd.....but Good job David, it must have been a hard song to pull off I don't know how he doesn't break down crying in that last AAAAALLLLL.......Beautiful.
Very welcome to have a listen to AirwavesJoxfields Vegetable (Elephant ) Man with Joxfields tribute-to-David-Gilmour's-ca-1971-playing guitar at 1.59. If you make a visit; hope you enjoy it! Cheers!
That was so damn beautiful my eyes watered, it looks like david was struggling and holding back tears at some part because he knows this song was syd barretts cry for help, this cover shows a lot of emotions and it really is powerful. Syd was a genius, I don't care what anybody says shine on you, crazy diamond.
An absolute masterpiece Sydney. David did a great job, but nobody will ever come close to the original. His voice, playing and writing was magical. RIP Syd.
