Syd writes with such a simplicity from the heart. His creative talent was not fully appreciated coz the music biz puts high value in common comnercial value songs or hit songs.
for some reason i never digged this syd tune (which is odd since i enjoy the majority of his work), gave it a year and came back to listen and this was my first thought, syd was a genius
Campizmo Monte-da-Pia Eskimo girls are unforgetable! (if you ever go to Alaska don't call anyone Eskimos; even though ice cream and kisses are named after them it's a racist term.)
@@dclark4422 i had youtube comments disabled. but i love you! Dude, music is the best shit. Say something :D real, in tune, and it's scripture. It is a focal point. The foci. idk.

When I woke up today and you weren't there to play then I wanted to be with you when you showed me your eyes whispered love at the skies then I wanted to stay with you inside me I feel alone and unreal and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me...

+Alexandre Rodrigues Syd Barrett's songs always cheer me right up. Even this one has a bittersweet cathartic quality to it that makes me all fuzzy and warm in the feels.
Yeah, his rhythms can be anything but simple or easy to follow sometimes-octopus for example. It’s erratic, and that’s part of its allure for me. That’s the artist, the unpredictable.
Some of Syd's most inspired and haunting guitar playing. The sound of an untamed spirit howling in the moonlight. "Inside me I feel alone and unreal" 2 years before I was born Syd had already expressed how I was going to feel for most of my life. Syd's music helps me to feel less alone and unreal.
Same here man, Syd was and will always be a legend. His music is like when the sun shines through the falling rain. there’s nothing like it, and there never will be again. May Syd Barrett rest in eternal peace.
Interestingly enough, this song always reminds me of my mom who died when I was 13. I was very close to her, as Syd was to his. This song is the most poignant evocation of that feeling of loss, of childhood lost, of feeling alone in the world.
as a former acid head I can say that Syd Barrett was the best music to listen to ALONE, all alone. you could be on any trip and feel just fine. other music works this way, in a way, but with Barrett's solo stuff it's almost essential. either that or he just made me feel alone. but it was good.
This, "Two of a Kind," "Golden Hair," and "Terrapine" are my favorite solo Syd. Naturally, it's mighty tough to beat either "Interstellar Overdrive" or "Astronomy Domine" from his tragically short tenure with Pink Floyd.
Right up there with Skip Spence's 'Oar' for the most revealing and haunting document of a beautiful mind winding down and retreating inside itself forever. Skip was a junkie, and Syd was an acid casualty. But their respective drugs of choice only unleashed their inner complexities and insecurities, laying them bare for all to see and hear. This puts mainstream 'confessional' pop music to shame. This has all the terror of Joy Division's 'Love will tear us apart', yet at a loping pace.
Wonderful song that I first discovered in the late 1980’s. ‘Syd the beat’ has always been fondly remembered by both his early girlfriend and the Floyd. Unfortunately, he was not able to carry on with his love life, perhaps after his Lindsey Corner love period. He was very capable of writing beautiful love songs and this song is one fine example. However, Syd did not appear to have a filter and was capable of providing a narrative for those deep inner thoughts that most of us keep suppressed within our subconscious. When the musical aspirations had become more serious, with the unthinkable aspect of the Floyd becoming POP stars, the reality must of weighed heavily on Syd. I can only assume that Syd, being a painter, was frustrated with all the hoopla and control maintained around him. Imagine being a painter and you have a critic hanging over your shoulder telling you, “wait, that brush stroke that you just expressed needs to be changed or removed because I am in control of the finished painting.” This song has beautiful and soaring slide work in addition to a heartfelt chorus. The slide work in the background is somewhat reminiscent of Duane Allman’s contribution to the Derek and the Dominoes song-Layla, as that song winds down and fades out. Layla, had been produced a couple of years latter. I don’t prefer to compare the two songs but do note that those two guitarists are thought of as being pioneers of an ever evolving soundscape. I am glad to see others who appreciate this song as much as I do and without seeing that same cliche used over and over again. This long post has been inspired by the overuse of the ‘Shine on you Crazy Diamond’ anthem that appears in so many other posts throughout Floyd territory. There is so much more to be said, in comparison to, the well intended anthem that the Floyd had ultimately memorialized with their dear childhood friends absence in their lives.
..Covering & select the original tracks was a stroke of genius Ivo Watts-Russell's!!..."This Mortal Coil" project is an absolute fantastic work!! cheers, Greg....🦇
This song holds so many memories and I'v only just heard it 4 the second time in my life. What a soft but powerful song... Well done Syd Barrett..... Missed by many.
I hardly ever listen to Floyd's early albums but I spent yesterday listening to Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and Syd even came up in a conversation with some friends who aren't Pink Floyd fans. It wasn't til I logged onto Facebook that I realized what the day was. I'll take this as some sort of a message from the beyond.
If there is a God and an afterlife, then Syd’s longing here - which continued in some form in his long 35-year twilight - has been answered. In our realm, though, his life was such a tragedy.
you are so right ! more is less in this case, even when syd was still in floyd waters was always taking the back seat, there's no room for more than one genius in a room, so how about being with a double genius such as syd

the man had a broken heart and decided to play his guitar with a lighter...magic..pure art
@ericturner4857 nope, all Syd. Guitar was in 1968, vocals a year later.
In my humble opinion,the best love song ever.
Ohhhh...... oHHHHHH .... oohhh aAAAHAHAHA AHhahaaha ahhhhhh ............ Dude . .. ...>>>>EASY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

100% agree
for some reason i never digged this syd tune (which is odd since i enjoy the majority of his work), gave it a year and came back to listen and this was my first thought, syd was a genius
Certainly, the saddest
"inside me i feeeeel alonee and unreal; but the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me"
is one of my favorite lyrics everr
You said a mouthful. I agree 100%!!!
maybe she rubbed noses?
Campizmo Monte-da-Pia Eskimo girls are unforgetable! (if you ever go to Alaska don't call anyone Eskimos; even though ice cream and kisses are named after them it's a racist term.)
The song is for his mom

When I woke up today
and you weren't there to play
then I wanted to be with you
when you showed me your eyes
whispered love at the skies
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me...
When I lay still at night seeing
stars high and light
then I wanted to be with you
when the rooftops shone dark
all alone (I) saw a spark
spark of love just to stay with you
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me...
If I mention your name
turn around on a chain
then the sky opens for you
when we grew very tall
when I saw you so small
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me...
Thank u😊 Syd Barret was a special talent.
Ευχαριστώ : )
@@sinnefoaka4085 εμείς ευχαριστούμε
I think its "whispered low of the skies" but I might be wrong
The world was never ready for Syd Barrett.
There is a tenderness and a mystery to this....
I was born when he was recording this song 27. 05 1968. Love you Uncle Syd
Magic!
"inside me i feel....alone and unreal...and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me"
Barrett has that primordial essence no one else has
For me, one of the saddest song ever written. :(
Reminds me of a lost time in my life, brings a tear to my eyes.
saddest song I ever heard
+Alexandre Rodrigues
Syd Barrett's songs always cheer me right up. Even this one has a bittersweet cathartic quality to it that makes me all fuzzy and warm in the feels.
I played this song a lot when I heard of his death it is such a l beautiful song so sad
Hugs too all Syd Fans 🤗
One of the saddest and most beautiful songs.
syds music is simple, when you have aquired true knowledge you realise the simple things make you happy and they are all that really matters.
It may be simple, but he uses simple techniques and chords very differently and interestingly.
Yeah, his rhythms can be anything but simple or easy to follow sometimes-octopus for example. It’s erratic, and that’s part of its allure for me. That’s the artist, the unpredictable.
:inside me i feel, alone and unreal-brilliant depiction of melancholy
hopelèss romantic
melancholy isnt nearly a deep enough word.
this goes far, far beyond "melancholy"
Some of Syd's most inspired and haunting guitar playing. The sound of an untamed spirit howling in the moonlight.
"Inside me I feel alone and unreal" 2 years before I was born Syd had already expressed how I was going to feel for most of my life. Syd's music helps me to feel less alone and unreal.
I feel ya.
Same here man, Syd was and will always be a legend. His music is like when the sun shines through the falling rain. there’s nothing like it, and there never will be again. May Syd Barrett rest in eternal peace.
@@RipPvt.Jenkins Amen to that! 👍
Beautifully trippy and otherworldly.

I'm sorry for your loss.
@@fennec70 sorry for your loss as well. I agree
Feeling you.
Thank you for sharing.
❤
His stuff is forever fresh. Amazing
The slide is simply eloquent. He still had it. Long live beautiful renaissance man Syd Barrett.
sadly missed, a true genius. ♡
as a former acid head I can say that Syd Barrett was the best music to listen to ALONE, all alone. you could be on any trip and feel just fine. other music works this way, in a way, but with Barrett's solo stuff it's almost essential. either that or he just made me feel alone. but it was good.
outer space country & blues
That's a brilliant description!
@@TheChugg11.
I just call it in the mind of syd barrett
hahahaha totally
where the country tho fam?
This is one of most underrated song ever. Syd is a genius.
Stunningly, innocently, evocatively gorgeous!
im not crying, at all
u will someday...
Simply beautiful.
This, "Two of a Kind," "Golden Hair," and "Terrapine" are my favorite solo Syd.

All musicians could learn something from this: It's a FANTASTIC song, but the way he sings it is just... so full of emotion... !
& i repeat, we did not deserve Syd. Beautiful is all I could say
This is such a sweet and emotional song.. Best work by Syd IMO!

I liked Gayle Pinion and Iggy a lot too.
Here his girlfriend was Eskimo, not Lindsay
So good i played it thrice.
wonderfully mixed, muted and bubbling with an almost inescapable intensity.
Big sigh after listening to this. Beautiful.
* listens to it late at night *
😎
his voice is like something that digs it's way through your mind
I've become a tad obsessed with this tune
Yeah it's beaut
i used to have the double album LP of both his solo albums. still have it. man i wore that sucker out.
when the rooftops shone dark
all alone saw a spark
spark of love just to stay with you 💕
What a brilliant song! This song is very beautiful, and yet so bleak and dreary.
"Inside me I feel . . . alone and unreal." We wanted to be with you . . . you . . . Syd . . .
Alone and unreal
Probably my favorite Syd solo song.
I'll Be looking all over the place for a place for me.. but it aint anywhere .. it Just Aint Anywhere..
-Syd Barrett-
Rest In Peace : )
One of my favourite piece of art from Syd. Thank you and shine on crazy diamond forever 🌞
This Mortal Coil and Caroline Crawley really made this song!
..Covering & select the original tracks was a stroke of genius Ivo Watts-Russell's!!..."This Mortal Coil" project is an absolute fantastic work!!
cheers,
Greg....🦇
This song holds so many memories and I'v only just heard it 4 the second time in my life. What a soft but powerful song... Well done Syd Barrett..... Missed by many.
Inside me I feeeeellllll
Alone and unreeeeeaaalllll … wow dude why are there like these super blissful yet simple moments in his music….
Inside I feel
alone and unreal
but the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me
I will remember you forever! R.I.P Syd.
When I lay still at night seeing
Stars high and light
Then I wanted to be with you ♥
When I woke up today... this song was in my head. Very apropos. Happy birthday Syd ❤

~Romance~ 🌺🌺🌺
syd - thank you. i get it
syd is a pure artist
Ohhhh Syd. Why did you wreck yourself man? So much talent in Piper, Saucerful, this record and Barrett.. the crazy diamond is never forgotten.
I know he couldn't help that he was likely schizophrenic, but he could've laid off the drugs...
Très beau morceau , super artiste
Very addictive music Love songs from another time and place
Oh boy. That's what I call genius
some of syds best slide work along with ricks 'remember a day'-another pop gem from a most original writer.
Great song
Such a pretty song
What a beautiful melancholy song.
i feel unreal too dear syd.i feel unreal
Beautiful song... only if producers did their job better on this album😞
''and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me...''
Feliz por conhecer ele , e triste que não conheci a tempos atrás
Isso é a vida. Conhecer alguma coisa depois que ela já morreu...
Para tudo há um tempo. Espero um dia conhecer Syd pessoalmente, e jogar conversa fora e andar por aí sem preocupação.
Ahh Syd, Syd... You're still here.
Hoping that Syd has found that kiss again these days. Thinking of you Syd.
J'Adore this song and Syd 🌼🌾✨🎇💞
love u syd
syd´s music did not afected just floyd´s songs, but all the psychedelic music that was born with him
6th January happy birthday Syd

Wonderful. Amazing. Beautiful. Sad.
Beautiful
glad to see syd barretts music is liked by younger girls too!
este hombre es de las mejores cosas me han pasado en la vida!
inside me i feel alone and unreal
