Syd Barrett-Terrapin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 дек 2009
- "Terrapin" is a song by Syd Barrett that appears as the first track off his first solo album The Madcap Laughs and is notably the sole representative from that album that appears on The Peel Session.[1] The song's arrangement is sparse, like much of the album, and features only acoustic and electric guitar accompaniment to the vocals.
The song has been covered by Phish, The Smashing Pumpkins, Marc and the Mambas, as well as David Gilmour, who featured the song on the live album David Gilmour in Concert.
The Syd Barrett Appreciation Society titled its official magazine Terrapin (published from 1972-1976), in tribute to the song.
I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
I wouldn't see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all 'round the clown
is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all 'round the clown
is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue

I sing this song almost every night, to put my daughter to sleep. She sleeps like a baby ☺️
One of the most beautiful things I've ever read
Nice. And when she is 5: “ Dad! What does it mean?: Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth, the fins aluminous
Fangs all 'round, the clam is dark, below the boulders hiding all” 😅
Aww
Beautiful mate WR🇦🇺🔥💯
Gonna sing this to my daughter as well. Thanks
an artist makes music, that doesnt mean he is an entertainer, he just was gracious enough to share his art. I dont think personally syd wanted to do shows or any tours or interviews or any of that i think syd just wanted to play guitar and paint in a garden. Theres alot of talk of whatever happened with him, but i like to believe he just wasnt into making money performing music over and over or trying to be on the radio or make a hit record. I think he just liked art.
I think you're absolutely right. From what I've read I have the impression he really wasn't interested in the PR side of music, and being dragged around with the band to gigs and interviews etc actually did him a lot of damage and contributed to his disintegration. His sister said that once he was out of that scene and allowed to just enjoy his art on his own, he made a significant recovery.
tjf4375 I agree, on the song 'birdie hop' he sings 'I'm the only bird, a little third I had a yearning to be earning just a dollar a day and in a way you shouldn't like it; hectrachrome plane' I think he was solely an artist first, and everything else just didn't matter as much as making art he was proud of.
Yeah after reading about him enough I got the same impression. He was probably open to the music industry to start with but quickly discovered it wasn't his thing.
Yes, why do we have to be anything anyway.. for who, its all about just being, and nice too.
LSD disrupted his position. Love Syd. Phishs encore was “terrapin”
this songs is hipnotic.. looks like it never ends and it is too short at the same time
lolz right...
hypnotic
This song just embodies those 4pm/5pm summer afternoons for me - when you've spent most of the day in bed floating around in your own thoughts, the room bathed in golden sunlight 🌞
Is this the country time commercial not chosen?
Syd is my partner this quarantine
Fuck yeah. Im sitting here in the wee hours of the morning learning how to play this tune by ear and I can feel Syd looking at me and saying "Thats a good bit there, Mate". What an eerie fucking masterpiece this song is. And whoever plays behind him is doing some extremely cool, understated lines that really add to the tune. I can imagine the dude just looking at Syds hands the whole time trying to keep track of the chord changes which have some randomness and are complete with fuckups that you dont really hear but just add another dimension to the song. That's a real rock star there, someone who can make a fuckup sound cool and in the pocket. Imagine if this song could have gotten the whole Pink Floyd treatment... could have just been massive. Instead its this eerie bedroom song, floating, bumping luminous.
Mine too! What a coincidence!
@@valeriearmegedon9040 Cool handle.
@@stevet.4974 Thank you very much! Your username is pretty cool aswell!
here oiling some woods with Syd background while drunk... greetings
happy birthday, king. you’re loved and missed dearly.
I’m happy that there’s still people that love his music
@@hesham2964 I still listen all the time
You're loved as well, Dear Lady Sophia.

@@jmc2491 k lmao
Never heard anything this hypnotic in 27 years of my life 😳, I feel I'm perfect now with this playing endlessly
The first couple of geetarsongs I learned to play were Syd's. Lucifer Sam and Baby Lemonade
Founder of Pink Floyd, listen to their very early albums, try Cirrus Minor.
Check out their early stuff! Syd is only on Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and half of Saucerful of Secrets, but there is a ton of stuff that's been released of earlier stuff they played around with prior to that, going back to 1965. Piper is 1967, Saucerful is 1968.
After David Gilmour joined in 68, they created some incredible ethereal, spacy, experimental stuff. Check out Live At Pompeii, Atom Heart Mother, the soundtracks they did (More and Zabriskie Point) and the rest of what they did prior to Dark Side of the Moon. There's so much great stuff.
I like the way Pete Townshend describes Syd: "A lost genius." Absolutely.
aint we all lost ;)
The James Hunt of rock
I didn't. Thanks.
Paedo Townsend
@Luigi Raimondo Pomo we all know the stories ,,, But what realy happend
It is the sixth of January 2020. Syd would have been 74 today. RIP Syd.
I’m a casual Pink Floyd fan and this is the first song I’ve ever heard is Syd’s post-Floyd career. MAN this is ethereal and unique!
Yeah I’m in the same position and this is such a beautiful song
Oh syd man. U were way ahead of ur time in a good way, we all love you. Rest in peace, shine as bright as the sun🌞
I think I’ll have a little cry
Syd transcends everything... Such a huge influence and gone much too soon. My hair's on end about you
"Did you ever feel like you got beat up// when all you did was wake up// then looked in the mirror and saw// dried tear streaks from your mascara make-up// All I ever wanted was a heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone// The dream of love was so much better before I'd grown// It's all very tough on me// and I'm feelin' really sore// will someone save my soul and close memory's door// All I ever wanted was heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone" ME\\\\\ “Rains of Sweet May that tickle the sea // On rose dewy dreams you’ll find all of me// In the dark blue wood willow we play// When the sky’s pink haze over laughing land lay// The blaze of brook-land feeds off absinthe green fire// Look for the pearl that sails for silver desire//// Dreaming of dreams stained veiled time// Created the weave of heart’s daring climb //// Butterfly soft your kaleidoscope kiss- Golden true eyes under lashes of mist- Golden jewel spies under splashes of wish- Orange you love all that I missed” ME
@@windowgirl7300 Roger's words?
@@arseniynikitin7673 No- my words.
Beautiful words
Gorgeous melody.
Hi Joe..I still have the Advents :)
its also very unnerving and creepy
One of my favourite songs ever by Syd. He was such an unrealised talent, very sad what happened to him. This is still one of my favourite love songs of all time, it's so hypnotic. I don't know any other songs which blend the theme of love songs and psychedelia so well. I think it's so genius, I wish we could have had more from Syd but i'm grateful for everything he gave us and I hope he found peace in his life after his music career.
the little pauses are brilliant, i like to imagine him throwing them in there just to put the other players off a little, cheeky chappy.
Creepy little pauses...
They are comical as well as being extremely effective,imo.
Cause we're the fishes=two lost souls in a fish bowl.
love this
Just what I thought
Yeah
Also i think robert wyatt's Sea Song quite inspired by this tune.
Your rtight dude... keen observation.
Indeed, and RW would borrow the line - slightly changed - in WYWH. Roger would be pumping gas w/o Syd's influence.
This song... it just triggers something in my brain, like a surge of dopamine or something. It touches my soul
Word
That's the transcendent quality of Syd's genius. It grabs and cradles my soul as well. Pure magic.

Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to this song. Just a coincidence that he says "my hair's on end about you".
there is no such thing as coincidence

This song is designed to give gooseflesh. Syd was a genius!
This song makes my heart swell. To the point where I need to cry from the overflow of love.
He walked that thin line between madness and genius and I (without a doubt) think he more to the genius side.
I love how the vocal comes in immesiately.
Wooooow
John Frusciante presented me this pearl at the concert I went yesterday. Magical moment. Amazing music.
This song is beautiful, strange, otherworldly, and has this "light danger" about it, that's how the electric guitar creeping in sounds to me.
Discovered this song when Frusciante played it last Friday at River Plate, it's sad i didn't knew about it before the show, it's growing really quickly on me as the track itself tears you apart, let alone the nostalgia from that night... They went from this straight to Strip my Mind. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
Cried a lot during the show but this was just different, as the moon grew bigger in the sky and the clouds started clearing with a cold breeze from everyone at the stadium just coming down from the higher-energy Pepper's songs...
Such a healing and almost magical experience, thank you Syd for the song and thank you John for presenting it to me in such a way..
This makes me feel warm and fuzzy

What a beautiful song from a beautiful person.
Syds story can make me cry
One of my favorites from Syd.

So peaceful, yet there's some strange vibe to it I can't put my finger on. it just feels right
Not quite peaceful... too many undercurrents. More subdued and trance-like.
The sound the feel, acid
@@nvoid2597 No.... not acid. Syd was stoned on "Mandies" nearly every day. What's a "Mandie?" That's the British name for "Quaalude." That's why it sounds so HYPNOTIC. Quaalude, which is no longer available, is a SEDATIVE and HYPNOTIC. It was very popular during that era. Syd's eyes became " EMPTY BLACK SAUCERS" because of "MANDIES," not LSD. People would speak to him and he'd look right through them, or ramble for a moment and walk away. He wasn't schizophrenic or insane- he was STONED on MANDIES and beer. Syd LOVED DRINKING BEER as well. Take about 5 Valium and drink 3 beers- you'll be SOUNDING just like SYD is here- very HYPNOTIC.
It's just beautiful, enjoy it as I have for the last 37 years
One fn pioneer who never gets the credit!!!!!! R.I.P. SYD. MUCH LOVE.
syd barret - his music will never die !
Roger waters entire musical career is about this man.
i really love you, syd.
I love you too Syd aka Roger Keith Barrett. My hair is on end about you too. Thanks for letting me know that you love me Syd..You are the most beautiful man in the world. Your music is magic!

it's incredible how much feelings a song can make you have.
His guitar strumming and annunciation is hypnotic.
Сияй, Безумный Алмаз!)
Genius. So hypnotic. We are the fishes and all we do. The move about is all we do. My hair’s on end about you.
I miss the year 2020 because the first time I knew this song was in March of Corona😢 I was 12 and a half years old. Time passes quickly. I remember the first time I heard it. The rain was falling and the sky was black, even though it was only 4 o’clock. I felt like I was in a dream. Once upon a time, was there an injection? Almost 4 years had passed. 😮
Good boy.
Great taste.
Magic
The Barrett Floyd almost makes the wildly famous Floyd sound conventional. Serious avant garde music here. I borrowed a Barrett lp from a brother in law years ago(not this one;it was a double) and was fascinated by it. It has its moments. Barrett had a big influence on several artists. David Bowie admitted that he adopted a singing style similar to Barrett's.
The title refers to Terrapin Road, Tooting, London, sw17, which is where his beloved sister, Rosie, lived. But then, you all knew that. Sorry, xxx
+Matthew Braim i didnt know that! thanks for the info.
tell me more about that, pal. It sounds interesting.
I'm the ultimate Syd bore and I didn't know that. I like it cos the lyrics are more of his vegetable man/ scarecrow thing - thinking less and less. We're the fishes, etc
I didn't, thanks for telling me
I am in London tomorrow. Have to find it.
Probably one of my favorite songs ever. Strange? Yes. RIP Syd.
I love everyone who understands this type of music , that means you where almost as High as Me ,😬 , ...
so hypnotizing...
Among the greatest songs ever
Beatiful melody, RIP Madcap
Oh shit! My favorite 😍
Underrated song
"Did you ever feel like you got beat up// when all you did was wake up// then looked in the mirror and saw// dried tear streaks from your mascara make-up// All I ever wanted was a heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone// The dream of love was so much better before I'd grown// It's all very tough on me// and I'm feelin' really sore// will someone save my soul and close memory's door// All I ever wanted was heart to call home// so why am I alone... so why am I alone" ME\\\\\ “Rains of Sweet May that tickle the sea // On rose dewy dreams you’ll find all of me// In the dark blue wood willow we play// When the sky’s pink haze over laughing land lay// The blaze of brook-land feeds off absinthe green fire// Look for the pearl that sails for silver desire//// Dreaming of dreams stained veiled time// Created the weave of heart’s daring climb //// Butterfly soft your kaleidoscope kiss- Golden true eyes under lashes of mist- Golden jewel spies under splashes of wish- Orange you love all that I missed” ME
I love you Syd. Thanks to David Gilmour for his help on this album
Still bumping in 2020
A perfect example of a perfect song
Not many Men would rest there head knowing his love would stay for ever...And within love.we are new and posssble.
The greatest lyricist and an acoustic guitarist of a generation... The poems he puts together and the way he makes a guitar sound mystifying is complete genius... Yes, he did acid, but he wasn't a human guinea pig for the stuff... He didn't live in a perpetual hallucinogenic state for 50 years, as some would like to imagine... His genius will be missed but his music is still with us... RIP the Madcap...
Prove it dumbass.
He was pretty far gone actually. He would mix qualudes in his hair cream, and it would melt under the stage lights and absorb into the skin of his face. He would spend entire gigs playing 1 note over and over again, or detuning his guitar. Even years after he was still a mess. Several years after his departure from the band, he was spotted in a London clothing store. He asked to try on 3 suits of vastly different sizes, pronounced them all a perfect fit, and left without buying anything. Decades later his mind started to come back, but by that point he was really sick from complications of type 2 Diabetes and he had no desire to make music.
@@ender26 Myths
@Window Girl If it's a myth, it's one perpetuated by Roger Waters... justbackdated.blogspot.com/2014/09/pink-floyd-their-first-american-tour.html?m=1
@@ender26 I've previously read this. This is not anything new... and I've yet to see those performances- they've been sequestered. There are many myths and justifications for removing "SYD"... and Waters is no stranger to either. Waters was an ASSHOLE then... and remains an ASSHOLE.
We didn’t deserve you Syd
Classic Syd song psychedelic and ethereal. RIP you diamond.
I’m so in love with that Album ❤️

Over many years, this is the one Barrett tune that stays with me. It is lovely and hypnotic.
Such an eerie and captivating vibe for a love song
I wanted to love someone like the way I felt about this song, when I was young
Brilliant songwriting
A broken mind tries to make sense of a reality that no longer obeys the past laws, and instead follows newly established unreason and will not yield.
I really love you and I mean you
The star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...
I wouldn't see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes, I do
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you...
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth

Fangs all 'round the clown

I thought he was singing “my hares are mad about you.”
@Im Everywhere I hear it now lol. But I like the idea that it’s an Alice in Wonderland metaphor.
@Im Everywhere I think of the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland lol. I know the song has nothing to do with that though.
Sometime i feel like him insane
Most crazy, love his songs. Because him talk about the things that his love.
Thank you syd.

Have you left your bedroom, Sam??! OR are you still hiding from "Love & LIFE??!" Did you color the basement with lights and... the guitar you meant to jam? Did you trade in your suit and tie for another imagined lie? Are you a girl or boy... when will you learn about joy? Are you a girl or boy... or are you a genderless toy? Can you Zea-land from your window... or is your dream a misty row? did ur brother buy more lipstick... did he open up your door? Is there anymore?
I know you "Sam"... you live in New Zealand.
i cant _not_ be sad listening to this...
Always been in love with syd
75, happy b-day Syd ❤️
terrapin station .. thats where i got off
Does anyone here like his solo stuff better than what he did with Pink Floyd?
I do forsure i still like both but prefer this 100%
I love it all, but his solo stuff is haunting.
I like his solo stuff better than Pink Floyd with Glimour. Most people would disagree with me for an understandable reason but it’s something about the imperfections idk
I approach them both separately and enjoy both.You should try it.
Pink Floyd stuff was light years ahead come on
Poor Syd,guy clearly had mountains of talent-David Gilmour reckons he could have been up there with Bob Dylan if he hadn't gone insane. Yet even so I still hear his influence now and then in modern bands. Personally I just can't get this song out of my head.
I've had octopus on my mind for about two weeks now since hearing it (again) on radio Bristol.
Love it all.

Syd you are missed I live you
Haunting
A lot of lost people in rock music. very few take the time to think about what that means.
This guy is a geniuse
I bought the album at the time and I've come back to it because of I recommended it to 'The Daily Doug' RUclips channel as a better example of Syd's output. Now I've got to listen again to the rest.
He was so lovely. At that time we were all 'drop outs', he was an artist and did not want to conform to the commerciale world.
Accusing Syd Barrett of being an overly simple musician is the opposite of the truth
Still have this on red Vinyl. One of the few I didn't throw away.
THAT'S COOL!!
I bet Syd and Cobain are roasting commercialism together in the afterlife.
Imagine Cobain cover this on MTV unplugged! It would be Epic!
@@vinyldiary6664 Holy Shit! My mind may explode.
they have good musik in heaven
Cobain sold out after Bleach. They went mainstream and appeared on MTV unplugged and changed their sound to a more radio friendly sound. They acted like they were against the grain but really they are going right along with it once they got discovered.
Luke The Vampire Slayer he said he had the radio instincts but blocked them before nevermind. And how about songs like Scentless Apprentice
Syd shines
This song is very relaxing and chill.
Was just in Pittsburgh for Phish 12/4/19
This song was performed outta no where in between encores. My heart shed a tear. I love you, Syd.
