Imagine writing a song about the band slowly phasing you out and playing it alongside that very same band.
This is art.
This is definitely one of the most surreal songs ever written. And the song gets more and more bizarre as it goes on, true poetry.
Not even the best one. He also tried to record another song with them around this time called "have you got it yet?". And everytime they would start he changed something in it and threw the rest of the band of track.
They eventually realised he was just trolling them and Waters later did admit that, had he done it a few years prior, he would have laughed at it as a great joke.
@@jimhjortsberg2990 yea as “crazy” as syd was, he was very intelligent and very aware. I would say that he never truly lost his mind but his perception was heavily altered through taking all that acid. It made him seem strange to those closest to him.
@@jimhjortsberg2990 Syd was an obstacle to the development of the band, his lyrics were childish and his music absolutely naive. Luckily they kicked him out for being mentally ill and so PF could make music seriously.
its not easy when you see all possible futures at the same time
Syd looking back at the band completely expressionless when the song ends is just straight out of a movie.
so hauntingly sad and beautiful
“Now there’s a look in your eye, like black holes in the sky”
It's a common symptom of schizophrenia called catatonia.
@@supreme1572nope, it's called flattening of affect. What you are talking about is when the cant move
well, firstly, he's looking at the colour display NOT the band
secondly, it's directed
This song is basically Syd saying goodbye to Pink Floyd and Pink Floyd saying goodbye to Syd
Next time you listen to it, just add six little words, right at the end. "Screw you guys, Ahm gewing hurme". I think that's more in line with where Syd was coming from.
This song is Syd saying goodbye to Syd
Sad sad sad 💔💔💔😭😭😭
@@mmbb6339 Insightful take, I agree.
Roger hadn't decided to kick him out at this point
There's something so gut-wrenching about this video to me. The blank expression of Syd, the slight discomfort from the other band members, and the lighting add up for a very melancholy experience. Plus having what could've been the last televised performance of Pink Floyd with Syd ending with a head turn is really fitting.
I KNOW YOU!
Almost all blues songs are melancholic
@@PetraKann The difference is the juxtaposition between Syd both before and after he started using LSD.
This wasnt really normal for him, the guy used to be a ray of sunshine writing songs about gnomes and scarecrows. What this song really is is a personification of Syd's rapid transformation.
'Flat affect' = expressionless face is one of many symptoms of schizophrenia, as is 'catatonia' ( staring unnaturally in one direction for extended periods of time.) At the time this clip was recorded his mental disease became evident sadly.
It’s truly frightening how self aware Syd was
Exactly the problem with going over the top with these psychedelic drugs ... some years ago I swear I truly learned the true meaning of : ´ignorance is bliss ` .
@@saraivatoledo1842 haha
@@saraivatoledo1842 that's me right now. I'm one trip away from completely going over the edge. I want to just be a simple primate again not thinking about existential anxiety.
@@ThatIsDopeBro You know it . Not wishing to get into details but that is exactly the mood I was left in after having processed that last trip ... exactly that - " One - 1 - Trip away from completely going over the edge " into very unpredictable territory if I may add ( since a "simple primate" is well beyond control ) .
MonkeyInTheMeddle holy shit couldn’t have said it better 👌
Everything gangsta until Roger pulls out a tuba
Everyone gangsta till Rick whips out the trombone
Or til Sid dawns a majorette hat and struts with his baton
Ahhh I love Reddit
Everyone gangsta till Roger kicks you out
Pink Floyd circle of jerks never fails to us
You can tell he's aware of what's happening, that he's being left behind. You can hear it in the lyrics as he tries to convey it like a joke with his sarcastic sense of humor, using it as a thin mask. But you can see it in his eyes. It's all a cry for help, he feels alone. He says with that grim expression "what exactly is a joke?" Basically saying that none of this song is a joke. It's chilling...
Poor fellow...
One of the saddest things I ever saw.
I believe he was well aware of what was happening but I don't think he wanted to do anything about it. He was already on a different plane than the rest of the band. So with this song he's basically saying "I know you're trying to take me for a fool and I know what's going on but you know what, I don't care either."
He wasn’t being phased out he phased himself out. He was saying in the song thank you for wanting me here but mentally I’m not really here Anymore. The guy just wasn’t with it.. He became an acid causality. He is saying thank you for forgiving me for being late and not showing up all the time. Thank you for caring and making me the center of attention but I am no longer here when he says I’m wondering who is writing this song. He then says he just doesn’t care anymore. He’s become cold. He really isn’t who he once was anymore. He doesn’t know what reality or who he is anymore. He did so much acid that the real syd died and floated away forever leaving behind a cold dead empty vessel shell of a man until the day he died.
It wasn't the acid.
It's kind of creepy to think that this video was lost for 30 years before being discovered in the basement of an arts lab.
imagine being the person who actually found it
it's too bad no one has found the original audio track from it yet, if they even recorded one
fidgetthenimcat “ayo what the fuck is this?”
@@vonclohk507 I know what you're talking about that was a live version they did for the bbc I think but they didn't record any video for that someone just dubbed it over this video. You could see where syd's lyrics/strumming wasn't synced up right.
and it´s a shame
Rest in peace Syd, even though most of us never knew you, we miss you.
Hear hear!
we wish you were here
This is Syd Barret’s “Space Oddity”
Well Bowie was a fan of Barrett, I wouldnt be surprised if Space Oddity is actually David's Jugband Blues lol
This was created around the same time as Space Oddity (It was David’s first song) I think this was created a year or so earlier then space oddity
holy shit that's so accurate. i was honestly thinking the same.
@@benjamingroff4064 It wasnt Bowies first song, he created a whole album before "Space Odditty" but otherwise, yeah.
@Ryan-Rami Ayoub I won't see any similarities. Idk what yall are talking about
"Pink Floyd's most popular work drew on the power of what Barrett signified," wrote Steven Hyden in his 2018 book . "Even after he was no longer in the band, his spirit haunted its records.
Hit the nail on the coffin.
"If you've ever wondered what it's like losing your mind, Jugband Blues isn't a bad place to start"-Stewart Mason, "Seven Ages of Rock" episode
This certainly has a Day In the Life vibe to it, '67 must have been one hell of a year.
I know right , especially the ambigous climatic sounds of the instruments.
Yeah I wonder if the Salvos got a donation? Strange song.
@@Icebassh Yeah, and also the cinematographic effects, comparing them, you can definitely see the similarities.
Yes it was and not all in a good way.
All thanks to the popularization of lsd and psychedelic culture
This was my first Pink Floyd Song, personally i admire Syd a lot, this song for me is like a goodbye from syd's side, actually i'm in tears
cl0rinda
Ditto. I can usually manage to contain emotions when hearing this, but every time I watch it... I am unable to.
I often wonder if before he was forced to become reclusive, if someone out there could’ve held the key to his mind, and helped him find his way back out of the dark. If I could go back and do so, I certainly would. For years I was a sort of guru to friends who had bad experiences with psychedelics. I could calm them and convince them that they were not scared or in pain or whatever really. Several times, I convinced people that the couch or seat they were sitting in was responsible for their fears at the time. Personally, it worked every time I used this method. Then one day, out of nowhere, I began having intensely bad trips myself, and no one was able to help. Now I am unable to use psychedelics, and am slightly suffering from residual effects for the rest of my life. I wonder if all he needed was someone like that. Because if I had someone to tell me the same things I used to tell people, I might’ve turned out differently. Even the guru needs a guru.
@@jessebauer0110 Syd wanted to learn meditation but the teacher rejected him. He told Syd that he wanted to learn it for "emotional" reasons. What a bloody shame! It might have made a big difference in Syd's life if he had learned how to meditate!!
The last 40 seconds honestly feel like the last words of Syd Barrett's life. Because after Saucerful, he was gone.
I vibe with Syd quite a bit. I see it more as his bow at the end of a play.
Funny you should say that. This was one of my partners favourite songs ever. He died a couple of weeks ago, hoping to play it at his funeral. The first two lines particularly relevant. 😔
Whoever directed this did an extraordinary job. It so nails the feeling of the song. The lighting is really unusual. So many great creative decisions on how it was filmed. Beautiful.
Agreed, I thought it was a green screen at first. Wild. 💀🔥
El rostro de Syd y las luces de colores de fondo, una imagen que impacta y no se olvida. Sí, es una obra de arte.
They also conceived the lightning. Not them, but Syd. He was working on that with that man he called master, a light engineering who rented the apartment to the early pink floyd and was impressed with it
@@Josouto1 Great collaboration because that video is stunning.
This has to be the saddest story in Rock history.He had so much going for him,good looks,brilliant mind,and people were drawn to him.He self destructed and nothing could have stopped him.Thank God has family was there for him to make sure he got what was needed.I lost all respect for Roger Waters,he got what he wanted,get rid of Syd and then tried to take over the band. Which he tried to do,but thank God for Gilmore making sure Syd got his royalties that were due to him.Gilmore was a true friend to Syd.
I was the first person outside of PF and their management to see this video. I was sent a copy of it on VHS by an ex-employee of Blackhill Enterprises, PF's original management company, circa 2000. I got his email off my friend Karl (a then member of EleMenT/tRANSELEMENt) who had told me about his lecturer at Manchester Uni who claimed to have an unseen (and unfinished) video for Jugband Blues. He intended to show it at the Cornerhouse cinema in Manchester but he never got round to it. I emailed him to ask him for a copy and didn't expect him to actually send me a copy! I digitised my VHS copy and shared this video with the members of a Syd Barrett / Early Pink Floyd Yahoo Group called The Laughing Madcaps initially.
Syd by far my favorite member of Pink Floyd. He is greatly missed.
Roger Waters has been mourning him like a poison widow for half a century.
the ending of this song is just absolutely beautiful, so sad but at the same time hopeful.
I agree with you.
The finale, with voice and guitar alone, takes you to another dimension...
The verses are of an enchanting, perhaps childish sadness.
It's that guitar strum of those sorrowful chords at the end that will always get me.
Imagine Syd didn’t leave Pink Floyd . How different Pink Floyd would have sounded
It wouldn’t be the same band basically. Yes it would still be successful, but not as legendary as it is today. It really sucks, because on the one hand we could’ve seen a peak Syd Barrett, but on the other hand we would lose what Pink Floyd is today
@@DevolaPopola bitch what?
Imagine "The Wall" with the complete five members (Barrett, Gilmour, Waters, Mason and Wright)... Fuck, that would be glourious
It might have ended up sounding like the Caretaker lol
Cassius Delta bruh do you not understand? Syd Barrett’s breakdown was the reason why Pink Floyd is what it is today. The Wall, DSOTM, Animals, WYWH are ALL based on Syd’s story. Shortly after he left, Pink Floyd was actually failing, the albums didn’t sound like what it was today and they were significantly worse than Piper and Saucerful. Only during Meddle did they really get the real signature sound they are known for today.
"I've always thought reality was for people who couldn't handle drugs"
-Tom Waits
Syd Barrett could handle neither
People who can't handle drugs are usually people who can't handle themselves.
Psychedelic Mind no he was spiked also he didnt mean to go over his limits. along with the acid he was taking himself, he was also being spiked by housemates who thought it was funny to make him go on crazy trips. sad sad story
Think hes a little backwards on that one.
23 Skiddoo how do you know this?
I'm fairly sure this was Syd telling everyone that he knew what was happening to him
Yeah, its quite sad when you find out that they kinda ghosted him for some time thinking he did not understand and then you hear him say “And i’m most obliged to you for making it clear that i’m not here”
Yeah. For a guy in the middle of a totally delusional, drug fuelled, schizioid, cataleptic, bi- tri-quadra-polar meltdown, (*allegedly*) Syd was remarkably self aware and creatively nuanced. Unlike that moody artless twat, Waters.
We all loved you, Syd. You were truly an artist.
It always impresses me the self awareness that Syd possessed. He was certainly farther out there than most people we ever meet, but he remained amazingly self aware throughout, at least at times. This song is a key demonstration of this.
The quintessential 60's popstar right there.
He had it all: talent, looks and magnetism.
A damaged human being who made us remember him.
Best Syd-Floyd song in my opinion. Powerful message. I particularly love the ending, as if Syd is saying his last words before saying goodbye.
The ending has to be one of my favorite moments in any Pink Floyd song.
"And the sea isn't green. And I love the queen. And what exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke?" Syd Barrett lays everything out on the table for the entire world to see which is a rare and admirable quality. Jugband Blues always seemed like a fond farewell from him to the band and the rest of the world. I can picture him performing it as he watches his band mates set sail towards something he'd either never wanted to understand or had such intense mixed feelings about.. Fame and fortune.
I've been playing this song myself lately, I swap out "queen" with "king" cause y'know
It works pretty well
I swear to god i thought he said and what exactly is a gerbil 😂
I wish everybody would quit talking about what they don't know about. And just talk about how great of a songwriter he was.
Those last 25 seconds still kill me. Feel shivers and so much more every time I hear this. Brilliance my brothers and sisters who struggle. No one can take anything from you.
so good. Nick is playing the drums as if he's asleep. He knows it's sad. This is deep musical expression with an emotional story behind it like no other. RIP RKB.
i cant quite explain it but this song leaves me with a sadness i can feel physically whenever i listen to it. so haunting and so beautiful. we love you syd hope you're at peace thank you.
I've watched it before but just found myself bawling tonight watching and listening to it.
It is even more heart wrenching if you know any of the back story. The song is a plea for help and when watching the faces of Syd and the rest of the band while knowing what you know is all the more gripping.
When Syd asks, “What exactly is a dream?” I can’t help but feel as though even he couldn’t distinguish between fantasy and reality at this point, but nevertheless longed for realism. It makes me want to fly back through time and take him by the hand to a safe and friendly place. Similar to the “bad trip” tents set up at Woodstock or similar places.
Rest now painter, piper, prism. Find piece in knowing that lives have been changed by your story and it’s music.😓
Life is a fantasy, it’s all a realistic dream that doesn’t pan out as expected as our very own dreams consist of when we sleep. Syd new that. Some people do, some don’t. Expand the horizons and all will see this man just wanted to enjoy life and it’s beauty and create art. Not be a pop star or some industry music icon.
So much love, jesse youre a true fan.
Respect
yeah i agree, except they call him prisoner and not prism
I knew this all too well yet I still had goosebumps while reading it. Very well written.
Amen!
Playing this song back to back with Wish you Were Here is hard hitting man.
Syd was a genius. Probably the biggest artistic and creative genius we’ve ever had. May he Rest In Peace.
This song is so beautiful and so strangely dark
These lyrics make me believe Syd was perfectly aware of his mental state. I think he saw what the music industry was and just shut down. The business side of music can really kill a true artist. When Pink Floyd hit pay dirt he bowed out.
Was pushed out... Lol
Or, he took too many drugs and they fried his brain? Had nothing to do with the ‘industry’, they kicked him out because he was unreliable and wanted to push the band in a bad direction.
@@Gino565 He already took drugs when he wasn't insane
@@ALittleBitCheesy Yes, and he took too many. How are you finding this hard to understand? He obviously started taking drugs when he was fine mentally, and ended up indulging too much. That’s how drugs work. They don’t automatically make you ‘insane’ once you do some.
Drugs such as LSD can trigger underlying mental conditions earlier than they would have emerged normally.
At normal doses (80-500ųg), LSD is a relatively safe chemical to consume. However, only He knows what dose and how often he took LSD. I read some where that he would binge, taking 500ųg+ for about 7 days in a row. When you take LSD that often at that dose, it can act like a CNS stimulant as metabolites build up in your body. He probably didn't feel like eating or sleeping, consequently developing anxiety, lethargy & anhedonia. I also read that he was taking barbituates which are very heavy sedatives. It may not have been LSD that caused his decline, but perhaps a barbituate addiction. Just my 2C :^)
R.I.P. Syd Barrett (1946-2006)

Shine on diamonds
💎
A song 2000 years ahead of its time.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean your band is not trying to get rid of you.
They were not trying to get rid of him.
They were no doubt exasperated by Syd’s behaviour but they didn’t want to get rid of him because he was the creative force and primary songwriter at that time. Losing Syd put their musical future in jeopardy. But his mental decline made it impossible to go on with him eventually.
Gotta find a way, a better way
He didn’t want to go commercial so they kicked him out
That’s the gospel of the Kurtch right there.
Roger with a tuba!!! I never thought I'd live to see the day 😅
And Nick has always looked like he belonged on Monty Python.
Indeed
I always thought he looked kinda like John Bonham

SOO English looking
I was 14 and autistic. I had no idea what was going on, but now I’m 70 and I understand some of the road Syd traveled. He was a misunderstood genius who was taken advantage of by selfish others. Rest well, Syd and please know that you made a difference. ❤
👏

The greatest swansong of all time. No one will ever top this.
I heard he smoked 30-40 cigarettes a day and sometimes he would take a Tab of LSD for every cigarette he smoked that day no wonder he lost his mind
It’s awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I’m most obliged to you for making it clear that I’m not here
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I’m grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I’m wondering who could be writing this song
[Verse 2]
I don’t care if the sun don’t shine
And I don’t care if nothing is mine
And I don’t care if I’m nervous with you
I’ll do my loving in the winter
[Verse 3]
And the sea isn’t green
And I love the Queen
And what exactly is a dream?
And what exactly is a joke?
THANK YOU SO MUCH
A masterpiece
And he look at Roger....
Syd knew exactly who was on her side and what was to come...
Look how each verse gets smaller in length.
Best song on saucerful of secrets

My favourite Syd Barrett song. Hell this is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs I don't even understand why. I mean in my opinion I believe Syd was the best Pink Floyd member and he should get the amount of recognition for his contribution to the band. I really love his energy and enthusiasm aswell.. much love Syd Barrett.. may you rest in peace.

Quote by DAVID JON GILMOUR ~ "Jugband Blues", which was recorded before I joined the band, is a better song than most of the ones on Piper. It's a very, very personal song about him and his condition, which is very raw and strange. I think it's quite brilliant. And some of the other ones that are quite excruciatingly recorded on The Madcap Laughs are absolutely brilliant songs. I'm not sure if the polish of the Piper mix makes me think that the subsequent ones are better. It's very hard to judge. But for me, the better stuff comes later."
Piper is genius, but I would give anything to hear instead Syd's rough demos of Piper songs, should they exist. I far far far better like his solo stuff, its strangeness, its imagery, the incessant revelations of a landscape of madness, a madness you can only be aware of as it drags you down down down. I even go so far as to suggest that some of his solo stuff was actually ruined by adding (too much) accompaniment, with the general idea being Syd was so far out there with ideas that no one could really play on his level or do his work right as far as arrangment and composition. This is very clear to me on tracks like Wolfpack and Dominoes, even with the organ on Dominoes sounding perfect. Listening to the many versions of Dark Globe is revealing too. I sometimes wonder if Syd would have arranged them differently, had he the mind to stick to it and not ramble off.
When you finally see Syd's genius you can't unsee it. He really was amazing I wish he understood what he meant to others.
"and the sea isn't green, and i love the queen, what exactly is a dream, and what exactly is a joke" .... This line is beautiful yet it has managed to haunt me since the day I heard this song. Syd Barrett is one of the best song writers in my opinion and personally for me.
There’s a mix of absolute brilliance, sadness and peacefulness in this great song. A have the original vinyl album - what a gem! RIP Syd, RIP Rick.
You can tell Syd is already gone by then :(
Seems like you missed the message of the song
Robert Horn on the contrary. This song is basically about him being removed/replaced from Pink Floyd.
@@jbv97 Precisely - being removed but still remaining present and lucid mentally. I suppose I misunderstood you and you meant gone from the Floyd and not gone as in mentally vacant
Robert Horn oh seems like I did misunderstand then. the look in his face seems like there’s no one there anymore.
Waters, Wright and especially Mason also look as if they're "gone".
Barrett's white shirt is in contrast with the colours surrounding him. I think that's a great choice. (He dressed himself, didn't he?)
Barrett looks to me as being very present in making his statement about being "not here". Also emotional, how he firmly stands and looks in the camera, as if he's disappointed and a bit angry about what's going wrong in his life. I see an angry, disappointed attitude. He's not just staring.
Also in the 'Apples and Oranges' Bandstand video, the other Floyds look rather "gone" themselves.
I watched this shortly after my mind broke due to a psychedelic experience. Syd Barrett really made me feel as though I wasn't alone and that really shows me that his tragedy wasn't in vain. The words at the end of the song "what exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke?" Made me cry.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett
@@grabgrabgrabthegrabplease stop
Barrett wrote Jugland Blues as an obvious exit song from PF. Such an absolutely brilliant and unusual mind so ahead of his time.
As someone who's experienced nightmare trips and hell psychosis, this is the most painful song I've ever heard. Important for those who don't know to listen, and for those who do to repress.
in short, acid turned you into a twat?
The most chilling one might be Vegetable Man...

Perfect farewell song for Syd Barrett.
One of the most emotional and haunting PF tracks and it’s called goddamn Jugband Blues it should be called Existential Fucking Crisis in C. Seriously though Syd’s decline into obscurity is probably the saddest story in popular music. The things he could’ve done if his mind wasn’t destroyed. RIP
you can see Syd was a artist it is believed that when Syd was doing LSD he said he wanted to bring his trip of how he felt on LSD into his music so he felt LSD helped him bring his artwork into his music to combine is so did LSD like every other day sometimes 2-3 hits at one time
LSD music is the best
Syd was a creative genius. If only he hadn't lost his mind, what amazing music he might have made in the 70s. Like David Bowie but better.
He did not lost his mind. Waters just threw away Syd. And keep in mind there is no Syd since second album (except single track). Actualy there is a very first album after whole crew did decide to threw this "genius" away...
@@yuriytheone Waters did actually offer that he stayed with the band and simply not tour with them (which he hated, and the stress from it was what drove him to drug abuse in the first place) and "work from home". He refused though and then the writing was kinda on the wall.
@@jimhjortsberg2990 he fell ill with schizophrenia..he couldn't recognise his own bandmates and wouldn't sing or play guitar during concerts ..he lost his mind..there was nothing else the band could do than remove him...

We Miss you Syd
This song is so haunting! what a piece of hypnotic art!
I can handle the rest of the song, but that short snippet at the end makes me tear up.
Yeah very sad
I know what you mean...and it's that bit at the end that puts the whole song on another level and brings even more depth to the whole, I think.
1:36 I think this is the most eerily part of the video. Everyone from the band has stopped playing except syd who is still moving his right hand on the guitar
woah
you’re right!
Syd is being sarcastic.
syd invented the greatest mike drop
I dont think so...
Of course, brilliant way to politely say fuck you guys.
no, really, you think?
From what I heard, they all had a meeting and Syd agreed to leave. They were still close afterwards. Roger and David even helped Syd produce his solo album The Madcap Laughs. But I don't think he really understood how far it had gotten.
The amazing Syd Barrett... what a pleasure and privilege it has been to have you here on earth. Rest in peace crazy diamond
Bro made a funeral march for himself
damn
Such a haunting video, the ending where Syd is looking at the band totally expressionless is perfect yet so heart wrenching 💔
Haunting indeed. And sad. So sad.
It's a common symptom of schizophrenia called catatonia
The lyrics in this song are heartbreaking man. I really want to know what Syd's tried to tell in his last song with PF. You will always be remembered, Syd.💔💔
ruclips.net/video/KqmJkxx5qWc/видео.html
Best early Floyd song. You always hear this and think, 'What if...?'
"And, what exactly is a joke?" Then looks back at Roger. He knows that his wiring has become something beyond any conventional band organization and yet he knows exactly what is happening. So he artfully, and gracefully bows out into obscurity as the diamond he was and is. Love Syd! Your music is forever!
The ending is so beautiful
Such a beautiful song. Have this syd's signature psychedelic feel to this song .
There is a difference between “going crazy” and realizing that life is a dream. Realizing that who you thought was “here” never actually is. When this is realized, there really is no more pretending. The game is revealed and the “persona” fades; from the outside the person can come off as burned out, lost, or completely different to other people.
One of the songs I want played at my funeral
This is a perfect funerary song!
@@Icebassh could you explain why?
it has a melancholy final quality to it, but at the same time it's oddly uplifting, the end of something brilliant
There is something about looking into Syds eyes, I see myself, I feel my deepest insanity yet peace with Syd. RIP You Beautiful Diamond
Every time I feel that I'm losing myself, I find my way back here
Jugband Blues - Pink Floyd - Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It’s awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I’m most obliged to you for making it clear
That I’m not here
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I’m grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I’m wondering who could be writing this song
[Verse 2]
I don’t care if the sun don’t shine
And I don’t care if nothing is mine
And I don’t care if I’m nervous with you
I’ll do my loving in the winter
La, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 3]
And the sea isn’t green
And I love the Queen
And what exactly is a dream?
And what exactly is a joke?
Syd has had a severe wonderful psychedelic influence on this S.F. '60s born musician.
Cheers for the wonderful colors. Life beyond words.
I love how this is the final song of A Sacerful Of Secrets being also sadly the final song composed by Syd Barrett and how the lyrics are like a goodbye by Syd it's so sad but it's also so beautiful and perfect
When I was a kid and had “echoes the best of” this song came in after wish you were here. It was my introduction to Syd Barrett and that world of PF. I kick myself for not diving deeper back then and that was 20 years ago
This is amazing to see. I never knew this video existed, and would never have dreamed in a thousand years they would have made a promo video (and with the whole group!) for this particular, very eccentric song.
This looks straight out of a dream.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett
@@grabgrabgrabthegrabi’ll grab grab grab the grab your vocal cords and squish them in my hands right in front of you
I never say this because I've never heard a song that has made me feel this way but this song is really ahead of its time .
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett
Bless his heart. Trying to deal with all the changes in his life and couldn’t do it. His flat affect is heartbreaking compared to previous joyful images. The world seemed to just squish his spirit.
how can i describe how much i love syd :(
I adore this song, absolutely out of body and mind. "I dont care if nothing is mine"......."and what exactly is a joke?"
This is Syd breaking up with us in the nicest way possible
Damn the look in his eyes as he sings those opening words is so absent but knowing at the same time, so sad
We still miss you Syd.
this video knowing the context, has a surreal and scary atmosphere, especially the faces of the band members+Syd'a expressions..and the head turn at the end
This is not just music. This is true ART.
Come on man what a joke!!! Waters makes better songs, he is Pink...
@@laurencegoreau5513bro this song was not a joke .......
As odd as this song is (with the Salvation Army boy marching band) it still comes off as brilliant. With Syd Barrett in Pink Floyd it seemed as if anything was within reason, nothing was crazy enough, even a marching band playing with a kazoo and a tuba. It still sounded great!
He had such vision and a great artistic mind that nothing was off limits to create a sound or atmosphere. He doesn’t sing a word on Remember A Day and he steals the show with his amazing slide guitar on it. His illness and departure was a TREMENDOUS LOSS.
RossBayCult Los Angeles Free Press Review of The Pink Floyd's "Cheetah Club" shows in Santa Monica, CA on November 5,1967 closed with ~ "To quote their press release, 'There can be no barriers, there can be no predictions.'"
Syd talks, but others don't listen to him.
Syd is abandoned, but nobody can forget him
Probably the most terrifying song ever made. Nothing will ever come close, it is litteraly about Syd aware of his mental decline and being pushed out of the band... only to endure years of mental illness...
Rest In Peace, Syd Barrett.
My interpretation of when he said "what exactly is a dream/ joke" is he is forever in a psychedelic trip where the boundaries of reality are melted and hes in the void. We distinguish a dream as something seperate from reality becuase our body is asleep, but whose to say they are seperate things? A joke is something when comeedic timing allows us to laugh, but whose to say thats not always there? I also think when he repetitively says " i never knew the moon could be so big" is him further explaining this same feeling of getting lost in the void.
sometimes a joke is funny and sometimes it's just simply 'woke' as a joke.
Syd es un Genio! 👏💎
Rodrigo Ulloa ????? Por qué???
thiago ore su forma de ver la música, a pesar de su locura escribía tremendas canciones una forma genial de tocar la guitarra
Even in a different language, I can tell what he's saying. Syd was a genius!
THE geniusss
