Remember when you were young You shone like the sun... Thanks for the music Syd, i hope your mind finds peace where ever it is you end up
i like the way brossie put it best "i know my mom told me this mornin... i laughed.. idunno, that niggas been crazy for like 40 years.. he doesn't give a shit, why should I?"
nah, its not mean i guess you'd have to know him to appreciate what he said.. his nature is very cool..hes one of the most genuine people i know.. his motto in life is just to go with the flow..don't worry about it and everything'll be okay in the end.. ya figure he lived his life he made good music he wasn't doing well and he died and now he's at peace ya just gotta keep movin on
dude, dont be such an asshole. that's just mean. ahahaha funny though i love the man and his music, but come on, he hardly had a mind left anymore. this is pretty darn sad.
Well, yeah, I do think it's sad. In all honesty, I haven't been myself since I first heard about it. So what if his mind was supposedly gone? He was still my musical hero, and now he's dead forever. It's still sad... And on a side note, it's amazing how much Syd is appreciated and missed when he hasn't made music in over thirty years. It really says a lot about his music and the connection people get with him. I feel pretty crappy today.
lol youd be amazed at how much insanity is not that far from what you are right now. his perceptions were changed bro... there is no such thing as a sick mind
Wow. This has really affected you... had this happened a few months ago, I'd probably feel the same.... I have no idea why I dont really feel anything about his death.
that's pretty sad... I was thinking about syd today and I actually thought to myself "when's he gonna go?" wierd R.I.P.
i know syd doesnt mean as much to me as others, but he was truely a genious, and even though he didnt make music for so long, the music he had made was so great, and influenced so much...so sad that he is gone i feel really bad for derek to, first thing i thought of after i heard he died was "man, this must be really hard on derek"... poor syd =/ may he rest in peace
like his one song "here i go" his music is "kinda catchy" Shine On You Crazy Diamond and We Wish You Were Here
Heh, well I'll live. Still, it just feels weird... every time I see the words "Syd Barrett Dead" I have to stop. I used to imagine going to Cambridge and seeing him riding his bike or something, and then standing next to him on a street corner. And I thought that I'd just lean over and say, "thanks." Obviously, that's not happening now.
well, i think it's normal. You didn't know him personally. You only knew him through his music. And since he was away from music and public life for almost 30 years, he was like already "dead" for you. Actually, a friend of mine thought he died a lot of years ago. Ofcourse, a person's death is sad. Especially of a genius artist. RIP Syd
