Syd Barrett (60) overleden

Walter (Seborik)

Zanger en gitarist Roger 'Syd' Barrett is op zestigjarige leeftijd overleden aan de gevolgen van diabetes, zo werd op dinsdag 11 juli bekend gemaakt. Hij werd midden jaren zestig beroemd als gitarist, zanger en songwriter van de legendarische band Pink Floyd. Het meeste werk op hun debuutalbum A Piper At The Gates of Dawn is van zijn hand.

Het ging echter al snel bergafwaarts met Barrett, die gebukt ging onder psychische problematiek. Nog voordat Pink Floyds tweede album A Saucerful of Secrets uitkwam had hij de band verlaten. Niet snel daarna ging hij solo verder om in 1970 twee albums uit te brengen; The Madcap Laughs en Barrett. Deze solo-carrière was echter maar van korte duur, waarna Barrett zich terugtrok uit de muziekindustrie.

Syd Barrett was een bron van inspiratie en invloed voor velen, zoals David Bowie en REM, maar ook voor zijn voormalige band Pink Floyd. Op het album Wish You Were Here brengen zij een ode aan hem in de vorm van het nummer Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

Jammer voor hem, werd Pink Floyd later veel en veel beter.

Kwestie van smaak. De Barrett-tijd is niet te vergelijken met de muziek die ze later maakten.
Ik blijf Piper At The Gates of Dawn één van Floyd's beste albums vinden.

Geweldig nummer, een van mijn favorieten.
De oude Floyd ben ik onlangs weer gaan waarderen. Relics, See Emily Play, Obscured by Clouds, Umaguma. Animals is echter mijn grote favoriet.

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
Ill see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me till Im sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
Theres someone in my head but its not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
Ill see you on the dark side of the moon...

Stop the world, I want to get out.

I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

Thanks for all Mr. Barrett foto

FOK! cartoons!

Kutje Cola, Barrett was mijn held!
Waters was destijds en is nog steeds een kanjer maar de vegetable man had toch meer sjeu.
Is hier nou niemand die lyrics van de man zèlf kent?
Nâh, dan hang ik wel weer de ouwe lul uit. Here I go:

"This is a story 'bout a girl that I knew
she didn't like my songs
and that made me feel blue
she said: "a big band is far better than you"...

She don't rock 'n' roll, she don't like it
she don't do the stroll, well she don't do it right
well, ev'rythings wrong and my patience was gone
when I woke one morning
and remembered this song
O-oh-oh, kinda catchy, I hoped
that she would talk to me now
and even allow me to hold her hand
and forget that old band.

I strolled around to her pad
her light was off and that's bad
her sister said that my girl was gone
"But come inside, boy, and play, play, play me a song!"
I said "Yeah! Here I go"
She's kinda cute, don't you know?
That after a while of seeing her smile
I knew we could make it, make it in style!

So now I've got all I need
She and I are in love, we've agreed
she likes this song and my others too
so now you see my world is...
because of this tune!
What a boon this tune!
I tell you soon
We'll be lying in bed, happily wed,
and I won't think of that girl
or what she said"

R.I.P. Syd!

RIP, shine on Roger!

I've got a bike.
You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings,
and things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.

I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke.
There's a tear up the front, it's red and black,
I've had it for months.
If you think it could look good then I guess it should.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things

I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.

I've got a clan of gingerbread men.
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things

I know a room full of musical tunes.
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork.

Let's go into the other room and make them work.

Ik denk dat PF het zelf het beste onder woorden heeft gebracht:
,, Shine on, you crazy diamond!"
