- Syd Barrett "I Never Lied To You" album "Barrett" 1970
There will be shoulders pressing in the hall
and I won't know if you're here at all
there will be wine and drinking in the yard
there won't be anybody very hard
there will be lots of things that we can do
and all and more will be for you
everything I knew I tried with you
but everything to you was never easy
so I went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
to see you looking too
but I know this. I know, I never lied to you
it's been just like you're gone
for just one day for so long!
It's been so hard to bear with you not there
but though I think of you, the things you do
when I'm with you, to be with you,
to be alone...can only think:
"Why I am here? What's meant to be?"
One of the great poets of the late 60s.
It's sad that so many people want to make out like Syd Barrett is a victim.
I think he lived his life like he wanted to and I'm grateful for him and that he could do that for himself.
I love this sooooooooooooooooooooooooooong so muccccccchhhhhhhh
Everything I Knew I Tried With You But Everything To You Was Never Easy ♥
Lovely man. Lovely song.
i love syd
Brilliant lyrics.
Descanse em paz Syd
This song is so beautiful........the piano really makes the song and this can't finish what i'm saying it's great!
Richard Wright the amazing piano.
No evidence to prove this man was either an 'acid casualty', schizophrenic or suffered a breakdown - it seems he began to perceive and respond to his art and environment in a new way sensorily that is often misunderstood - the results were brilliance in my humble opinion.
He was obviously triggered by the monstrous amounts and frequency of drugs that took the latent out of his latent mental illness. He would have gotten sick as he got older, but the acid ripped it out of him and pasted it all over his face for all (except for you) to see. We love you Syd! We wish you had had a chance to do your thing more gradually. Your art was one of a kind
Yeah
beatiful song!!!
He sort of sounds like Young Leonard Cohen I'm starting to kind of like him. Is voice is very different and quite nice actually.
this song completely reminds me of the great gatsby, i love it
It's been just like you're gone for just one day for so long.
cute song
I dug Vegetable man and Scream they last scream. Waters should have at least gave Syd one more strike and maybe picked him up that day to the gig?If the singles sold who knows what could of happened? RIP Syd!
Sundown798 thinking of them not picking him up,always breaks my heart😖😖
Good song. I like it. Wish you were here.
Drugs may have affected him some, but l just think he was a beautiful Soul.
Nice...

I prefer those albums over Ummagumma and AHM, to be honest
well in a way it's kind of like he did stay with them since dave and waters helped him out with madcap laughs and dave and wright did the barrett album... so you can kind of hear some pink Floyd sound in his two solo efforts
You can really hear how sick he is at the end. It's very sad. When I first heard the last vocal note in the song I said "oh god Syd!"
i wonder if syd ever heard the backstreet boys. i wonder what kind of face he made. I wonder what shape his eyes made

How the hell did this guy not make any money from his music, he didn't even have enough to retire. Why didn't his band look after him financially when his life went downhill? Ofcourse, i don't know the full story of how it all went down but it still puzzles me how the founding member of one of the greatest bands in history died a poor man.
+V Power I don't think he was really poor, just not rich. Pink Floyd did some of his songs on later live albums that made a lot of money for him. I think they attended to him generally in that respect.
Watch the documentary. Gilmour gave Barrett the money that was due to him. It was a lot. I'm talking 1.5 million. This he left to his siblings when he passed away. Rest in peace, Syd.
Syd died a millionaire.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, at all. Beginning with the release of the compilation record. Relics, in 1971, Syd began to receive a fairly steady stream of Pink floyd royalties, as the record features three Syd tunes (Arnold Layne, See Emily Play and Bike). Then in 1972 Harvest re released the first two records in a double album set called, A Nice Pair, repacking Piper and Saucerful. At this time Syd still handled all of his own money, and spent extravagantly on guitars (which he never played), televisions, clothes etc. until it was essentially gone. After his mental condition deteriorated even further around 1977/78, he moved back to Cambridge with his Mother Winifred. It was at this point that david gilmour, who was an old childhood and teenage friend of Syd's, in conjunction with Winifred, took over all of Syd's finances. Because of a stabilized financial situation the money began to pile up. 1983 saw yet another compilation, in the record Works, which featured two Syd songs. 1994 Pink Floyd released the double live record, Pulse, which sold very well , and had a Syd tune.Then in 2001 there was the massive runaway success of the Pink floyd echoes compilation which featured 5 Syd songs, and was one o the biggest selling records of that year, and the next 3 or 4. And of course there was also a very small royalty revenue stream of syd's solo records. David gilmour, and then after Winifred died, Syd's sister Rose, saw that he received every single cent he was deserving of and owed. He even agreed to personally sign about 2000 copies of Mick rock's photograph collection of him, out into coffee table book form. Though they came back signed :Roger Keith Barrett (Roger is his real name).
You are very wrong in thinking Syd was abandoned, that is just not true at al. the only reason that the first two solo records were even completed and made, was because of endless hours put in by David gilmour (who even plays bass and drums on it) and Roger Waters. The second album even has playing by Roger and Rick wright, and of course David. The Pink Floyd, and most especially David, did everything they could to support and help Syd, after he left the group. They loved him so, so much. there perhaps is no greater or bigger Syd Barrett fan the David Gilmour. Syd died a very, very wealthy man, and Rose and the other siblings split the money between them.
Syd, or Roger as he preferred to be called, had a very simple, very nice, very quiet end to his life, doing the two things he loved most: gardening and painting. As he said himself, he decided to: "take the backwards path." Which is why he moved back to his childhood home. The family even made close to a million pounds, on the sale of some of his works of art and paintings. Syd preferred the quiet seclusion of Cambridge, where no one really knew him, and he could disappear. He eventually did seek some professional treatment in the late 90s which Rose said helped him greatly, and which he enjoyed, but because of an "incident" he abruptly ended the treatment.
" I'm full of dust and guitars. And I'm not anything you think I am anyway."

Thanks Frodo Lives, i made this post a while back and i realize it was ill-informed. Thanks for clarifying much of it, how did you go about finding all this out? I've done some research myself but cannot find much about the whole situation.
So beautiful wish I was ‘’crazy’’ enough to make art like, a true genius
i 3 syd
yeah, i agree.....with the lyrics, remove the quotation marks & the question marks on the very last line.
@DaveS12382 True I just think for both sides it was good they went their seperate ways allowed both to experiment with music
@MusicsWhore -- I have no idea how you can use the word "shit" in referrence to Dark Side of the Moon.
Yeah, Piper and Saucerful are loads better than Ummagumma and AHM, and in no small part thanks to Syd.
they should have kept him for the making of the wall album
@DaveS12382 Well Space is Pretty Big. I'm not going to lie.
I think the quotation marks and the question marks need to be removed in the final line of the lyrics. "can only think why I am here; what's meant to be" is perfectly logical. "Why I am here?" is gramatically incorrect.
but then we wouldn't have the madcap laughs or barrett =/
@DaveS12382 well he was ruining it all he did'nt right that well of music and was always a no show at concerts and when he did he didn't sing.
@DaveS12382 Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother were amazing records and if Syd was there the band would have never lasted till 1970 every True Floyd fan knows that Ummagamma was music without borders really avantgarde and Atom Heart Mother to me makes Dark Side of the moon look like shit
ill ask my self if he had un pisellino stuck in his back...when he sing that
