  • 'Bike' is a song written by Syd about his current girlfriend, Jenny Spires (as well as 'Lucifer Sam'). He's showing her his things such as his bike, a cloak, a homeless mouse named Gerald, and a clan of gingerbread men, simply because she understands it (fits in with his world). Towards the end, she offers to show Syd a room of
    "musical tunes."
    The sounds you hear at the end of the song are assortments of percussion instruments and violins, as they are in the room of "musical tunes." At the very end, you hear not 'duck noises', but sped up laughter.

    The end of the video says Random Noises. These noises are not random. They are the chimes and jings most of them are clockwork. They just went into the other room and made them work.

      My dad is disturbed by the end, he says it sounds like someone going insane and laughing maniacally,, which is creepy because syd went off the deep end soon after this was published, almost like he knew

    I bought a bike today and this song was in my head the whoooole time. Then I came home and my house mate told me we have a mouse in the kitchen. "IT'S GERALD!"

    Syd is offering to show a girl his bike, cloak, mouse, room of musical tunes because she fits into his world. All of the randomness at the end is reffering to the "other room". And that "duck noise" people are commenting about is actually sped up laughter. It was written for Syd's girlfriend. Sorry if i was too late on that ;]

    • @TheOGSticks11
      @TheOGSticks11 Год назад

      It's about a Boy and girl. She on acid, describing what she knows, while Syd, or the boy, is awestruck by her beauty that he can't even listen. Until they enter the clock room. Then they're just going insane.

      Steve-0-tron Actually it was the first pink floyd song I ever heard and I loved it to my core. I don't why Syd is hated on so much, I love Piper At The Gates Of Dawn probably as much as any other mainstream PF album.

Oh... And if the only damn Floyd songs that you know are "Shine On" and "Comfortably Numb" then you should not be allowed to comment on anything associated with the band. Just saying...

    You know i love Pink Floyd and Syd, but sometimes i have been like man why all this fuss about Syd, is it because he was schizophrenic and his story is sort of mystical? but then i listen to a song like this written by him, and i realize, damn his simplicity and uniqueness is quite awesome, fucking rocks! i dig, Syd, i dig man... RIP
    This is coming from a true, true hard fan of Pink Floyd, when i was 17, i worked just so i could buy all their albums, and bought them all (;
    Thanks Pink for leaving a nice wake on my lake.

      @jasonsheppard6770 7 лет назад

      From one true Floyd fan to another, I understand your sentiments concerning Syd's Floyd. I intend no disrespect but feel that the Gilmore/Waters/Wright/Mason version was far superior. I feel sorry for the way Syd's life turned out but I'm schizo as well and no one cuts me a break when considering the art I produce. Understand I'm not feeling sorry for myself. In fact, I wouldn't want my condition to affect a person's opinion, good or bad, about my work. But, unlike you, I can't get on board with this song and others attributed to Syd. So, why am I here? My best gal does like this song and other Syd compositions. And for that reason I can say with all sincerity, Syd rocks!

    • @TheRabbipinchas
      @TheRabbipinchas 7 лет назад

      Jason Sheppard Actually, neither Pink Floyd lineup is better or inferior. They're just different with a different approach. I'm a 60s kid who saw a lot of different psychedelic bands in SF from 1965-69 and none were the same. The latter lineup had a more serious polished sound whereas when Syd ran the band, it was more childlike and fairy tale sounding. I love both, as both are excellent and full of creativity. As for me, I wish I could be back in 65 much more than I wish I could be back in 75, but that's just me.

    • @mar117117
      @mar117117 7 лет назад

      I won't call myself a true Floyd fan, but fact is, that Syd brought PF to fame quite before his schizo kicked in, long before there was anything mysterious about his life. Me myself enjoy his work very much, deffinitely more than last 3 albums with Roger at helm
