"reality is just an escape for those who can't handle drugs"...
I think the video represents escapism meets discovery.... In the end of the video it's is if they are rediscovering a new reality and in this reality they come to discover others of like mind in a place of peace and joy... like in my opinion, the world should be.

And, if you dont like it, dont fucking watch it. If it were my video, I'd delete your dumbass homo comments. I think this is the greates song ever written in the world, and I also think it's fucking awesome what these guys have done with their video. I never even once looked at it over the past three years and thought anything about homosexuality. Then again, Im not gay like you fags leaving the homo comments. Oh, and......YOURE HOMOS. LOL SUCK THAT FAGS.

One thing's for sure. People who listen to Pink Floyd sure as fuck arent a bunch of narrowminded assholes who have nothing better to do than flame an amatuer made pink floyd video because theyre just idiots who see nothing in it except homosexuality. It looks to me like that's all that's on your mind, so you guys are the fags, and what are you doing looking at Pink Floyd videos anyway? PInk Floyd is for free thinkers, not close minded morons. GTFO!
This video is a little weird, if it were Floyd doing it then it would fit. But random people look like they have to much time on their hands, and to much love for eachother if you get my drift.
Good editing but key your clothes on boys...chasing eachother around and getting half naked is not cool........
You sound like you have a lot of hang ups. That said, I don't think this video is supposed to be about homoeroticism, but rather an ode or farewell to youth and purity, and the "season" (in the most Rimbaud sense of the word) before abject responsibility and the neurosis of contemporary society. Check the lyrics. I'm sure these guys were high on something too BTW. That's the BEAUTY of it.
Crazyinjun022207, your homophobic remarks towards people leave me with the idea you are a closet homosexual angry and confused about your own sexuality. Your heart tells you that you are in reality the "fag" as you would put it. But your mind fears letting go of being a man. You fear judgement, you fear abandonment. Dont worry, their are thousands of people just like you. Sorry to say though, I am not one of them. You have a great week and I hope you can come to terms with your problems.

Wow, this fag never stops posting trash. You can say what you want, everyone who reads any of this can see that you were the first one of you and I declaring your fagness by talking about it before me. So, facts are facts fagmo. You can't run from that. Youre the one who brought it up, youre the FAG. lol FAG
Barrett's musical influences lyrically were literary greats. For example, Matilda Mother was based on Belloc's Cautionary Tales for Children, and everyone knows that the title of Piper came from Wind in the Willows. Waters writes based on his own misery.
They didn't get off the ground until Syd went insane and got kicked out of the band. Only the hardcore Floyd fans even know who he is. Personally I think he would have been more of a roadblock to their success. His writing style was a bit cartoonish.
Sorry I had to give you the old thumbs down, but one Syd Barrett is worth ten Roger Waters and ten David Gilmours. His songwriting had a playfulness that PF lost upon his departure. After that, their music was very dark.
That's what I like about Floyd - how they change from a Barrett's Astronomy Domine and Remember a Day to that Floyd we mostly know (The Wall, Animals) in a ten years time. It is impossimble to make comparisons between Barrett, Gilmour and Waters - each one has his own stile, and all o' them made a relevant contribution to Pink Floyd.
Even though the amount of recorded material that Syd provided to PF was limited, his influence on music over the last 40 years goes well beyond what he published or recorded while with PF. His contribution was and still is wholly relevant.
Well. since Syd was their songwriter when they got their contract and they recordrd his songs until the three he either co-wrote with the others and Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk by Waters, I would have to say it is entirely true. I just read what I wrote, and I didn't mean to sound like I'm trying to stick it to you. Sorry.
People amaze me how ignorant they are about syd barrett's contributions to the band- which to the pink floyd as the world knows them equals nothing. Do some research for christs sake before making these comments. If you're going to comment on barrett then comment on the Piper album as that is the only one he had a real contribution to.
gilmour's got a few more licks up his sleeve than barret did, but goddamn, syd was one cool ass song writer! gilmour would never be able to write a song as deep, meaningful, and outright strange as barret even if he was touched by buddha himself
Dude, I'm not trying to be an ass, but Barrett did almost nothing on this album, I think Jugband Blues is the only one he wrote, and he played in like two. This song Remember a day, was written by Waters or Wright, I don't remember. Don't get me wrong though, Barrett's solo stuff is amazing. Oh, and one more thing I agree Gilmour's not as good of a songwriter as Barrett.
yeah, barrett was pretty far gone when they made this album. if you've ever lived with someone who's schizophrenic/mentally ill, you can tell they can't deal with the stress of band life, they just can't for a long time. it's weird and kinda scary the way they go off the handle. and yeah, this does kinda seem like the wrong video to be having a big debate about syd barret, but hell, some people said some things about the band , and it was like "what the hell, barrett was cool, let's say shit"
Reminds me of the days we used to take acid and walk for miles out in to the countryside. Don't think i could handle a trip these days. Maybe a wee half would be enough.
And to be perfectly honest, I don't care for DSOTM that much anymore. I actually rate Saucerful and Piper higher then DSOTM. Animals and Obscured by Clouds are both up there also.
In the way of LSD, hallusination insipired music yeah thats true, but Gilmour gave the band a new "kick".
DSOTM is and always will be, the greatest Psychedelic Rock opera ever made.. So after Syd had to quit 'coz of LSD, the psychedelic, mysterious part of them did not die, they just took it to another level..
Gilmour did NOT give the band a new "kick". It took a couple years between Saucerful and DSOTM for the band as a whole, with Roger Waters at the helm, to get their shit together.
Syd has his part in the Floyd, gone or not. He may have been an LSD/madness casualty, but his desire to break out of the box of just regular popular music (even though that's how he started), he was the one that influenced the band's deepest songs, and the way they do their music, like Echoes is brimming with the psychedelic influences Syd imparted to their style. Syd is still the 5th and most important member of the band.
He wasn't on this song and David's a thousand times better than Syd Barrett so why do you bring that up? Do you even know the technicalities of Syd's "style"? This song isn't even an example of it. Syd did his thing and it was good but we would never have what we do fram Pink Floyd if he wasn't gone. I'm glad they didn't pick him up that day.
Syd does play guitar on this song. Look up the personnel wikipedia remember a day. Norman Smith played grums, not Mason. Gilmour wasn't even a member of PF when this was recorded.
I bet you guys have some marijuana growing in those woods. Nice choice of song. Gilmour`s best work with pink floyd was his earliest, kinda like he was emulating Syd`s style to some degree.
"Remember A Day" was recorded while Syd Barrett was still in the band. Although "A Saucerful Of Secrets" features only one Syd Barrett composition, Barrett played guitar on at least two of the songs.
He recorded one song off this album and this isn't it. The style is so different from Syd's he doesn't deserve a mention. He did his thing with them and he burned out quicker that Kurt Cobain on Heroin. I think David is a thousand times better technically and musically than Syd barrett ever acid-trip dreamed to be.
"Remember A Day" was recorded in 1967, while Syd Barrett was still in the band. He wrote and sang "Jugband Blues," and they hired six members of the Salvation Army's brass band to play the horn parts, and even though "Remember A day" was written and sung by Rick Wright, the guitar parts were played by Syd Barrett.
The liner notes have Wright playing keyboards and not doing vocals, either. But he sang the verses on "Let There Be More Light," all the vocals on "Remember..." some of the back up vocals on "Corporal Clegg," and the lead vocal on "See Saw" too.
On "Relics," it says "Remember A day" was recorded in 1967. This would be during the "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" sessions, while Syd Barrett was still with the band.
hay man syd had art david just made the band less sycidelic he made more like rock n roll and popish man i think in a way syd should of stayed but he had to go in a clynic because of his scictso
Yep, "Remember A Day" was a 1967 recording, but in the end there wasn't room for it on "Piper". Syd played the slide guitar ... and apparently engineer Norman Smith (RIP) played the drums cos Nick Mason couldn't get the part right.
"reality is just an escape for those who can't handle drugs"...
I think the video represents escapism meets discovery.... In the end of the video it's is if they are rediscovering a new reality and in this reality they come to discover others of like mind in a place of peace and joy... like in my opinion, the world should be.

Not entirely true (in fact, we can't know for sure). I love Barrett, and Waters, and Gilmour.
Barrett has nice music and good lyrics,
Waters has great lyrics (an excelent bass)
Gilmour has a wonderful voice, and great solos.
So stop it, you all. No matter who was better thatn who, they were all The Floyds, and that's what matters.
