Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Pink Floyd live at Knebworth (1990)

Rest in peace, Richard Wright (28 July 1943 - 15 September 2008), Syd Barrett (6 January 1946 7 July 2006)

Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome
With random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

I'm 16 years old. While all of my friends are listening to Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and all of that other crap that the media is crapping out, I am sitting here listening to this masterpiece of a song from an amazing band. This song is a true musical masterpiece and it was written not just because it had catchy tunes, or because the artists wanted to get rich overnight, but it was because the artists had true passion. They wanted to connect to their listeners. Thank you, Pink Floyd.

I'm three years old and God I love this song.........

This song wasn't written 'to connect to their listeners', it's for Syd Barrett. Also, I'm not interested in how old are you if you listen to this, what's the fucking difference. Just keep your thumbs-up-to-get comment in your mind next time because I'm sick of them on Youtube.
