There's A Man In Cambridge (Song about Syd Barrett) - [An Original Song by Alec] (Tuned Recording)

{This song has been previously posted on YouTube by me on March 26, 2007, but the guitar WAS out of tune. NOW you can finally listen to it TUNED}

In 2006, months before his death, I wrote a song about Syd ...
Syd was an extraordinary author and a shining meteor.
I often think of him, since I learned his story.
When he passed away, I felt sincere sorrow and new feelings about him.
But my song hasn't changed.
I felt natural not to 'update' the words...
Enjoy the song.

LYRICS:
There's a man in Cambridge
riding on a bike
He is a painter
but he used to be even someone different
He was a singer
in the shiny 60's
on a revolutionary rock 'n' roll band
... and how he was loved ...
His name is Roger Barrett, Roger Barrett
His friends used to call him Syd
His name is Roger Barrett, Roger Barrett
He wants you to leave him just the way he is ...

@Derveregun Grazie ! Spero di ri-registrarla un po' meglio presto ;-)

[Barrettric]

This truely a song a wish I wrote...a beautiful song about a beautiful yet troubled man...I do recall seeing photos of Syd in his older years riding a bike and not even making the connection of the song "Bike" from his youth and the irony of it all. Thanks for the song! I posted a cover of "Pigs On The Wing" below and even though it is a Roger Waters tune (and it isn't about Syd like much of Dark Side and Wish You Were Here) I mentioned Syd affectionately in my spoken intro.

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

@Barrettric Thanks A LOT ! It's a song that I really wanted to share, so I'm always very glad when somebody 'feel' it. I will go to listen to your "Pigs On The Wing" cover !
