God, you can just see the pack coming over the hill on cold grey day. You can really feel the combat and the rush of action. Absolutely masterful imagery.
Can I add my fourpennorth here? When Syd was asked by David Gilmour about what the song was about, Syd looked darkly and said "The f&$king paparazzi, man. That's the magnesium, the flash of the camera, dead wolves chasing after dead men."
Howling the pack in formation appears Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead Waving us back in formation, The pack in formation Bowling they bat as a group And the leader is seen so early The pack on their backs, the fighters Through misty the waving the pack in formation Far reaching waves On sight, shone right I lay as if in surround All enmeshing, hovering The milder I gaze All the animals laying trail Beyond the bough winds Mild the reflecting electricity eyes Tears, the life that was ours Grows sharper and stronger away and beyond Short wheeling fresh spring Gripped with blanched bones moaned Magnesium, proverbs and sobs Howling the pack in formation appears Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead Waving us back in formation, The pack in formation.

Incredibly inspired piece - an artist totally aglow. Every part of this song hums and crackles with a definition that is inexplicable outside of the cohesiveness and grandiosity of the captured vision.
Wh y can't we just stop recalling the drugs every time...yes they played their part but #\=$\=$\%!\ it gets old. Just cherish the fact that SYD gave us what he had in him...which is some of the greatest music of all time. This is mainly aimed at people I know!!!
👍🏾 The healthy Syd Barett was very creative!! Unfortunately Syd had the wrong friends. He hung out with junkies too much.. 1965 founded and made Pink Floyd famous!!! In 1968 Syd was kicked out!!! Unfortunately Syd didn't learn anything from that!!! Syd continued to take drugs on his 2 solo albums... A real tragedy for Syd and his family... He was on the verge of schizophrenia... David Gilmour said: The recordings were difficult because Syd was in a bad state. Syd Barett needed therapy... Professional help from a good psychiatrist... Unfortunately Syd didn't get out of the car 🚙... Syd failed as a painter and musician... I don't know if Syd ever had therapy??? Unfortunately there are no more books in German...
diamonds and clubs ...they are suits of cards, just FYI if you didn;t know that. Not sure what they mean in the lyrics, just saying, it's not a club like a stick you would beat someone with
@@thinginground5179 they're two of the houses of cards or suits,a house of cards easily breaks, could he really have been meaning his board games like cards and dominoes?
+Thor Nunley I don't think it's that they don't know English. It's just that Spanish is their first language, and I've noticed today's youth of Spanish-speaking countries are more hip to psychedelic rock than the youth of English-speaking countries. Well, more hip to it than the youth of America, at least.
Only people who speak English are not receptive to other languages. Outside the Anglo Saxon Empire we are open to other cultures. Most of us speak more than one language and enjoy music from all over the world. That's how Anglosaxon culture is becoming so poor and irrelevant, that happens because it's getting too conservative and isolationist. It is a form of cultural censorship. They are forbidden to get exposed to anything out of the corporative capitalism.
@@orchestraglobola yeah totally not leftwing ideologue who support hate speech and other freedoms like gun ownership haven't been doing their part to tear down the west and you can add feminists who support Islam.
Great stuff. Was Gilmour in there, filling in the loose and aimless bits with swirls of instrumentation, helping Syd get to the end? I feel the answer is 'yes'.
Having heard so much about Syd Barrett I am really trying to like this stuff. But I just don't get it at all. Doesn't appeal to me in the slightest either lyrically or musically. This is in no way to disparage the music. I guess it takes a bit to develop a taste for this ?
You first have to develop a genuine love and respect for poetry and only then will you see syd barret in a new light. Read some of the most famous poems in the world, then come back to syds lyrics and youll see the beauty in syds words are almost impossible to replicate.
Imagine shakespeare attempting to perform his pieces musically... it wouldnt have sounded very good traditionally speaking, but its the pure genuine emotion and experience of a true poet performing an original piece that makes it beautiful, especially syd
WELL, THOR, THE MUSIC SOMETIMES BECOMES SO UNIVERSAL THAT, EVEN SPANISH PEOPLE OR MEXICAN PEOPLE (IN MY CASE)....YOU DON´T HAVE TO BE AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN OR AN AMERICAN CITIZEN TO LOVE THE ENGLISH/AMERICAN MUSIC. LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY: IDON´T LIKE MOST OF THE MEXICAN/SPANISH MUSIC (YEEAH, I'M AN ASSHOLE)...I REALLY LOVE ENLGLISH MUSIC: THE DOORS, FLOYD, HENDRIX, JANIS, VELVET UNDERGROUND, JOY DIVISION, DEAD CAN DANCE...ETC
No se hasta que punto es ya mas conocido. Quizas no tan comprendido. La pena es cuando se le considera un drogadicto o algo por el estilo, solo por el echo de estar en medio de un movimiento fomentado por las drogas. El era un crack y punto. Llamalo crack llamalo genio.
In my opinion, one of the best lyrics Syd ever wrote
Syd would agree .
Its so good, Man!!!
All enmeshing
hovering
The milder I gaze
All the animals laying trail
Beyond the bough winds
Mild
the reflecting
electricity eyes
@@vonclohk507 the paparazzi
@@DrTomoculus Robert Wyatt (drummer)said they tried to follow Syd,who would change the arrangement on a whim!
I love this masterpiece.

This song was said to be one of Syd favorite song. I can see why

Wow! That's a fascinating angle on a song that I thought was purely abstract. Can you please source the quote?
@@markharwood7573 Rule 1: you never get sources anywhere about syd, you just pull them out of a hat
I always thought it was about human nature, social formations, and warfare.
@Based_transition_Clocker I agree, many are not. These are two good examples.
This was Syd:s favorite, said by him in one of his last official interviews.
best song ever.
What a brilliant gorgeous wolf ..💘
Howling the pack in formation appears
Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead
Waving us back in formation,
The pack in formation
Bowling they bat as a group
And the leader is seen so early
The pack on their backs, the fighters
Through misty the waving the pack in formation
Far reaching waves
On sight, shone right
I lay as if in surround
All enmeshing, hovering
The milder I gaze
All the animals laying trail
Beyond the bough winds
Mild the reflecting electricity eyes
Tears, the life that was ours
Grows sharper and stronger away and beyond
Short wheeling fresh spring
Gripped with blanched bones moaned
Magnesium, proverbs and sobs
Howling the pack in formation appears
Diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead
Waving us back in formation,
The pack in formation.
Cal Lewsion Nice one
thanks for posting those lyrics Adominae
Stephanie Baldwin You’re quite welcome
Syds lyrics are amazing! Stream of consiousness beauty.
I’ve been interpreting those lyrics for years, poetry in motion appears cheers 🍻
Amazing song! This album is great, so obscure, so deep...

Paz mental yo tambien soy de monterrey y adoro con toda mi alma a syd barrett
syds best from his solo era imo, immense tune, great lyrics
It is great knowing Pink Floyd produced this album for him.
una de sus obras maestras. un canto pasional
Transcendent. That perfectly howling lead guitar puts this squarely in my top 5.
Magnesium proverbs and sobs... All too true!
Still looking at the strength of the phone signal!
@@user-qm7ld4hb9c what does your mysterious scribblings mean?

great masterful sound. Raw genius poetry. IMHO
Out of the question a masterpiece the lyrics are genial!❤😂🎉
Idk...this, other than WINED AND DINED, just might be his best song...this track def
has my favorite lyrics...
love Syd always and forever. R.I.P. Piper
Legendary.
Reflecting Electricity Eyes
That part is the best part of it all!!!
in full "Mild the reflecting electricity eyes
Tears, the life that was ours" ...
Incredibly inspired piece - an artist totally aglow. Every part of this song hums and crackles with a definition that is inexplicable outside of the cohesiveness and grandiosity of the captured vision.
what
that's a string of long words that conveys no meaning. You could have been a lyricist for "Yes".
Haha - thanks! They were alright to begin with!
Great job as usual by Syd, I could definitely see this song on pf the wall..
One of Syd’s favorite songs that he wrote and recorded.
Masterpiece
Please stop calling him a fucking genius...that word is too
damn icky...
he was genuine
Syd is so funny :D

Arteee
Few corporate HR departments are that perceptive
There used to be a great fan-made video of this....can't find it now ☹
With sheep and wolf calls and Marlene Dietrich in a gorilla suit smoking a cigar at the end?
diamonds and clubs, light misted fog,
THE DEAD!!!! 🥴🥴🥴🥴
the pack must be in formation
I love it ♥

Genio musical!
Lost for words.....
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺Wolfpack
Sid knew the right people he had a hit single with the Floyd so he earned his respect
What are the clubs for?????? BTW, this is one 9f my fav songs by Syd.....…clubs??????
Diamonds and clubs are houses of cards!

@@stephaniebaldwin7645 Syd was into cards and dominoes at that period.....!..….thank you Steph!...….🐇🐛🐢🐝🐻🐙🐾😺🐌🐞🐜🐀🐗🐍🐸

wow what a huge coincidence, I just read this elsewhere
That evolution eventually brought us a wonder like this? Who knows what is and what is not a coincident anyway when it all comes down to it.
Brano da paura! Molto Beatles + pink Floyd
Hare Rama and Hail Syd!
Along with Leary & Kesey. Syd was a Psychedelic Ambassador
YA DEFINITELY SO!!!!!!!
Perfect Lead Guitar. Syd blows away Gilmour's generic guiturds easily.
Stop comparing, idiot.
Ye fr they were in two completely different worlds, each of them Masters in their own writes
I thought gilmour played on this album lmao
@@maxwellwhitaker7708 But Syd plays all the guitars, right?
no need to dis on Gilmour :)

Syd's playing lead. Sorry.
This sounds like Syd, but Rick is there doing that
Sitra Achra Yes, that is true . I think he also played some 12 string on the album but Syd played most of it.

Why does his voice remind me of Peter Gabriel?

+juan roberto Navarro I really like some Spanish medieval music.. also flamenco sounds can be wonderful if done right.
juan roberto Navarro like most of the bands you named :) youre right!
you have really good music taste
You're right, but surely a honourable mention can be made for Los Bravos, especially "Black is Black". Love that song. Tragic Band.
