Какой красивый, спокойный, завораживающий голос! Хочется слушать бесконечно. Как жаль, что почти ничего не понимаю по-английски. Благодарю Бога за то, что Он подарил нам такое чудо, как Syd Barrett. Спасибо автору за работу.
syd's total recorded output issued is said to be 52 songs, but they say his real output including unreleased in the emi vaults is 80 songs completed song's and bits/pieces. gilmour know's this.
The "interview" reminds me very much of a certain group of questing intellectuals I was around as a teenager, they were much older and very much of a 60's mindset. A kind of searching, completely removed from the everyday concerns of ordinary people. Syd here, makes complete sense as he responds eloquently to issues of conditioning in art. Relatable. His legacy of beauty is unique. Hello Ian, Jennifer. Iggy xx
Syd was so individual and different that's a couple of reasons people are still interested in this icon and of course his music and he started 1 of the biggest bands ever. I bet he so many drawings, poems and writings that we haven't seen. SYD BARRETT SHINE ON 🐀🚲🍎🍊⭐

Thank you for putting this together. I expected it to be awful...and was pleasantly surprised. You've dug out some gems. The solo records sessions...he sounds much more coherent than I imagined, if a bit sedated. I wonder if he was taking Mandrax or Valium around that time. that's what it sounds like to me rather than a heavy stoner. Maybe a bit of both. Hmmm. His story is endlessly fascinating and I still have no idea why. Thanks.
Sure! My pleasure! I had a ton of Syd content saved on a flash drive bc I got so obsessed that I NEEDED to have it available without requiring internet access. Syd was my DRUG back then! (Still is!) Anyway, these clips came from my “stash” lol.
There's a theory that it was the heavy amounts of mandrax he was taking to cope with his heavy LSD usage that fucked him up and mandrax basically turns your brain into swiss cheese combined with the fact that syds family said that he was on the autism spectrum. You get a situation like this

"Look, oh, you know, let's start again let's start again *strum*... no, it's just the fact of going through it, I mean, if we can cut *ahem*. Painting".
As another poster wrote, this is not 1967 as stated. It is mid-1968, which was a particular low point. He was in a better, though still up and down place, in 1969 and 1970, as the solo stuff was recorded. I suspect a very bad place in the next 15 years. Hopefully he had some peace and tranquility in the final 20 years of his life.
Syd Barett was a talented, gifted young man. He founded Pink Floyd at the age of 19. He was kicked out at the age of 22. He made two solo albums and wrote 52 songs. A sad story. He failed as a painter and musician. I never understood why he never went to therapy in the 70s, 80s or 90s. Drugs ruin your life. A burden for Syd and his family. Syd Barett could have become something.
He achieved a lot as musician, and died as millionaire. Doesn't sound like a failure to me. What happened to him had multiple caused and also happens with stuff like ADHD medication. His behavior was irresponsible, but blaming the substances is pretty short sighted. Most users never face that kind of problems.
His catalogue has never been out of print in nearly 60 years, he had around 3mil in his bank account when he passed away and his art has consistently been praised both by the public and academically. So, where is the failure??? Syd Barrett lived exactly how he wanted on his own terms, he made what he wanted to make and stopped when he didn't want to do it anymore. He spent the rest of his life painting and pursuing other hobbies that interested him, he was comfortable and, according to his family, he was very contented for the last 20+ years of his life. So there's no need to project your personal conceptions of what is and is not "successful" onto him.
@@evangeline77x Hallo 👋🏾 Syd Barrett war ein kranker Mensch. Mit 15 Jahren ist sein Vater gestorben. Er muss sehr früh Drogen genommen haben. Nick Mason hat in seinem Buch geschrieben: Als er Syd Kennenlernte hat er hin und wieder einen Joint geraucht. David Gilmour hat mal gesagt: Er habe mit Syd LSD genommen,da hat es Pink Floyd noch nicht gegeben!! Die Wohngemeinschaft in der Syd gelebt hat, haben sein Leben versaut. Er hat mehrmals in der Woche LSD genommen. Das ist für das Gehirn zuviel!! Drogensucht ist eine geistige Erkrankung. Er war mit 22 Jahren ein kranker Mensch.. Was für ein Krankheitsbild Syd genau hatte weiß ich nicht. Die Familie Barrett erzählt nichts darüber. Das ist sehr britisch!! Über Peinlichkeiten spricht man nicht. Syd Barrett war in seinem Gehirn krank. 1967 er konnte nicht mehr den richtigen Tonleiter spielen. - Er war geistig abwesend. - Er lebte nicht mehr im hier und jetzt. - Er wollte die Wände hoch klettern. - Er hat seine Freundin im Schlafzimmer eingesperrt. - Er hat sich Lippenstift 💄 aufgetragen und Frauenschuh angezogen. - Er wollte eine Sekte gründen. - Er wollte Arzt werden und heiraten. - Seine Mutter musste 1991 aus dem Haus ziehen!! Wahrscheinlich hatte er Wutanfälle. - Bei seinen 2 Soloplatten war er am Rande der Schizophrenie!!! Die Psychiatrie war damals noch nicht soweit. Die Familie Barrett erzählt nichts über seine Krankheiten !!! Syd Barrett ist als Maler und Musiker gescheitert. Er hat nichts mehr geleistet. Er hat es versucht aber leider nicht mehr geschafft.. Das ganze Geld macht dich nicht gesund. Du bist isoliert und lebst in deinem eigenen Gefängnis.... Das ist traurig. Ich weiß nicht ob er jemals Erlösung oder Frieden für seine Seele gefunden hat???
@@nitinkakkar776 Do you mean to say that it was Syd's fault that he had a mental breakdown? (Assuming drugs even caused his breakdown, which isn't how that works.)
No. I'm saying that if you do as much as he is reported to have done you'll probably need years to find yourself again. And much of what you say and do until that happens will seem strange to people.
Sounds like he's being interviewed by an open window near a very busy road.I don't think the noisy traffic would be helping with his train of thought. You'd think the interviewee would shut out the sound of the traffic.
He's stoned off Mandrax in a lot of these. He wasn't using it all the time during the Madcap recordings, actually he was in high spirits and productive during that time. But it seems he became more hooked on it while recording this album. Syd wasn't an acid casualty, he was a Mandrax casualty, and that's the reality. The 1967 interview is actually August '68 contrary to what most think.
You're shouting into the void with this,I've been saying that very thing for years, Piper photos show him under the influence,he couldn't straighten his eyes,a lot of pics have him eyes half shut.
@@Sydney-Casket-Base possibly, the band members said he was an existential threat to the band at the time,I personally think he did not like the fake Pop scene
@@andrewnelson1967 Nick Mason grassed him up,let it be known that Barrett didn't crush quaaludes and bryl cream into his hair for stage,he wouldn't waste good mandies as they were known.
The interviewer seems to be suggesting artists are automata, questioning whether it is possible to transcend that. Syd generally coherent, what a loss to music, though.
The London interview film has been tampered with and slowed compared to the sound to make him look more out of it. This is such a cheap and disrespectful thing to do.
@@Sydney-Casket-Base Thanks for response. I totally believe you posted this in good faith and as you found it. I was not saying you did it ! However I think it is clear that this is not just a filmed interview but has 'effects' and has been slowed here and there. Even the interviewer sounds zonked. I assume it was the original filmaker's idea.
@@davidlamb7524 thanks for trusting me. The thing is, slowed down audio has a distinct sound to it that I just don’t hear in that interview. I think that’s just genuinely how they sounded. Syd tends to talk slowly in many interviews. (It’s kinda relaxing tbh.) I agree that the interviewer sounds weird, or “zonked”, but I think that’s just him! 🤣
@@Sydney-Casket-Base Thanks for the civilised conversation. We agree to differ then. I haven't changed my view. I'm not technical enough to know exactly what was done but it was the visuals as well.
Fascinating in itself how people are still so interested in him after all these years.. he had such an impact on me when I was younger his stuff is magical..
His Legacy will be eternal.
It's the mystery of syd
This guy's something I can't explain...
A hip cat
such a beautiful voice, our Syd
He changed music completely in such a short period. RK Barrett..complete genius!
I became fascinated by Syd in 1975. Less than 10years after Piper. He seemed from some lost previous age even then.

"He blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the lights had changed"

Of course! His voice is so pretty, is it not? :)
How beautiful this audio is amazing. And the photos are gorgeous. 😊❤

Love him. One of his last “interviews”: “Leave me alone, I have to get some cole slaw” or some such. At first I was sad, now I think he’s so funny.
Thank you for this video
Of course! :)
