Never would I of imagined.... Syd Barrett dead A mind at its finest, a twisted imagination and wit, this artist had it all... A destroyed mind, but yet intact. Ive imagined his death before, but never did I think it would really happen Thanks for everything Syd man, "Oh where are you now pussy willow that smiled on this leaf? When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart my head kissed the ground I was half the way down, treading the sand please, please, lift a hand I'm only a person whose armbands beat on his hands, hang tall won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all? The poppy birds way swing twigs coffee brands around brandish her wand with a feathery tongue my head kissed the ground I was half the way down, treading the sand please, please, please lift the hand I'm only a person with eskimo chain I tattooed my brain all the way... Won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all " Shine on you crazy diamond, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon Syd <3
Aum Syd, i hope your at peace man, ill light a candle for you... He really died? crazy.. Im going to smoke a spliff for oyu too man, and listen to piper at the gates of dawn
yes, yesterday it was announced, died at 60 in his home yea im putting all his solo albums on repeat (Barrett, Madcap Laughs, Opel), Piper and Saucerful and his singles (see emily play) all day long. Ive never felt his music that intense before. its giving me crazy sensations, like if he were singing from the other side, i can feel it so well...
lol ... im watching all my DVDs with Syd ( i got so much pink floyd DVD's lol )... the Syd Barrett one and Pink Floyd 66-67 is playing all day
Rip SYD. He his probley more at peace now then he was alive. I've been listening to syd songs and songs wrriten about syd(WYWH, brain damage etc.) Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
i only just found out from my mum that he died, syd lived in cambridge (where i live) ;D im not going to mourn his death im going to celebrate his life.. and like most people here.. its time to smoke a joint and listen to his genius.. ^^ "I really love you, and i mean you, the star above you, crystal blue"
he kinda had a sad life though, i celebrate his genius, but at the same time its a terrible loss (and awesommmeee. lucky you live in cambrdige )
lol yeah its ace, never got to see him around town though, he didnt get out much apparently. how many times if i try if i may when youre in the milky waay ^^
