"the way they create a theater in your head without giving you the pictures." in my 30 years of listening to these guys, this might be the most ridiculously perfect description of pink floyd as a band i've ever heard. the greatest part is, everyone may see a different movie, but will all still have the same feeling. love you guys! you two are as real as it gets.

Syd showed up at the studio while they were recording this album about him. He asked if he could do some background vocals, and they didn’t let him. I love Pink Floyd, but they are passive aggressive dicks lol.

@Hippie459MN 3 года назад

@@jainelson8840, that is not actually true. They never asked him to sing on it. In fact in 72 I think it was, he signed a deal saying he would no longer have any part of any future doing with pink floyd. Mostly for royalties of future music. The story goes... "Barrett visited the members of Pink Floyd in 1975 during the recording sessions for their ninth album, Wish You Were Here. He attended the Abbey Road session unannounced, and watched the band working on the final mix of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - a song about him. By that time, Barrett, then 29, had become overweight and had shaved off all of his hair (including his eyebrows), and his former bandmates did not initially recognise him. Barrett spent part of the session brushing his teeth. Waters asked him what he thought of the song and he said that it "sounds a bit old". He briefly attended the reception for Gilmour's wedding to Ginger that immediately followed the recording sessions but left early without exchanging goodbyes with the newlyweds."

@@Hippie459MN thanks. I guess I just remembered it wrong. I read Nick Mason’s book back in ‘06 or ‘07 I think, and I thought that was what happened, but I’m probably conflating it with the story of when they stopped picking him up for practice.

Lex is a F'in beast. My favorite band of all time, and she killed it with the analysis. They missed their partner who was apart of their band. He fell into drug addiction, doing LSD and hard experimental drugs, ultimately turning into a zombie and shell of himself. His name was Syd Barrett and he was the main man of the band. The band carried on without him, but there was a point where the band would be playing, and Syd would just be staring into nothing just frozen. Or walking in a room with him frozen in place with a cigarette lit but never smoked or moved so that the ash was still in tact from the initial lighting. When someone hit thes joint for too long and the ash is too long, ill point out that they are Floyding it lol. Anyway, love this band, love you guys. You guys are killing it lately.

I can’t believe they missed the first couple seconds of the song where the TVs flipping through channels and lex still correlated the radio sounding Guitar to the clean guitar like it was transporting us into the present of his living room and he could be reflecting on his life I think the song try’s to get you into the mind of the main character he’s mindlessly flipping through channels not really paying attention then the distorted melody comes on and it makes him stop and reflect and the clean guitar is him getting lost in the tunnel of his thoughts his depression because of his fame and what he had to give up and lose to achieve his fame how he believed that his music had meaning and a statement and a message that he believed in fighting for but he gave everything he cared about away for fame and money he’s now being controlled and caged by a corporate entity that tells him what to do say sing and what he can’t “ did you exchange a walk on part of the war (he wasn’t forced to fight he chose to )for a lead role in a cage”( he’s famous but owned by someone else )

@jflinn2010 2 года назад

The two guitars, "transporting" you to "a past relationship" -- God damn, Lex, you NAILED IT!! Without even KNOWING!!

The song (and the entire album) from 1975 'Wish you were here' was about Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett... he suffered from mental health problems and was out of Floyd by 1968 after just 1 album. Syd Barret was a close friend before he disappeared completely around 1970. Surprisingly, he showed up during this album's session in London... bald & out of his mind. He disappeared again soon after... The classic Pink Floyd reunited to honor Syd Barrett in 2005 for a charity Live8 show. Syd Barret spent the rest of his life in Cambridge, either in mental homes or his mom's home... he died in 2006 after yrs of health problems. Keyboardist Richard Wright played the electric organ, which were the "French horns" 😂 Wright passed away in 2008😪

@krkhns 3 года назад

@@psbarrow Like a lot of what Water says, its going to depend on when he said it. It has changed over time. If you go by the interviews in the documentary "The Story of Wish You Were Here", Waters says the song is about his inner reflection over the conflict between his idealism and the materialism that comes with fame. But, I just went to the "Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains" exhibit curated by Nick Mason. In the Wish You Were Here section, there is a December 1975 interview where Waters' explanation is more in line with Gilmour's - its not specifically about Syd, but how what happened to him is not unique. Its about the price some people are willing to pay for fame and how that gets exploited by record executives. And how the preconceived notion that once you get famous you have more control over your work is wrong. The chorus is about him and his wife (two lost souls) and how they thought that the success of Dark Side of the Moon would mean less pressure on their personal lives, but it didn't. The pressure to put out a hit album was still there (Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fear.) The interview is part of the "Pink Floyd: Reflections and Echoes" documentary.

This song is so unique for Pink Floyd because of its simplicity. That simplicity somehow makes it more powerful. I’m sure many others have already mentioned this being about Syd. But on another level, the theme of this album is basically about “absence.” This song for me is about a relationship where one of the people is not present. Yes you could say they have died or left, but for me if feels like they are still there. They just aren’t present in the relationship like they once were. Somehow that makes it even sadder and more profound.

@frankiek2269 2 года назад

He went to a mental hospital fir a while. He got out a David helped him produce his own album, “The Madcap Laughs”. But it was horrendous. Syd’s mind was gone and it reflected in the album. Seriously, the songs are like listening to the ramblings of a madman set to music. Very sad story.

It is about SID BARRET. An original member of the band who blew his mind out on a bad drug. He was the leader of Pink Floyd a short number of years before the band grew famous. A lot of their songs are about him. Remember his name? Sid Barret. After his drug moment he rapidly began to become a lost soul. Brain damage has many strange behaviors to it.

To poor to fix things they lived in the destruction for at least 20 years. These guys spent their childhood in this environment. They were a product of the war that lasted for decades for them ....growing up in the memory that surrounded them.

@joemurphy2738 3 года назад

When you're listening to PF songs, remember that they will often have a soundscape leading into and out of a song that make perfect sense when you listen to the album but seem truncated when listened to individually . The whole album is a tribute to one of the original members of the band that had to drop out because of mental health issues , mainly caused by abuse of drugs, Syd Barrett. The album starts with Shine On You Crazy Diamond, listen to this masterpiece and you will get Pink Floyd , and maybe even listen to a full album sometime and get the full picture.

AM radio to be more specific. That's what that high pitched whine is, interference on a weak, distant signal.

@krkhns 3 года назад

It actually is a radio. They recorded the intro, then fed the signal through the AM radio they pulled out of Gilmour's car. The concept was to simulate a guy sitting at home listening to the song on the radio and playing the lead over it.

@ffjsb 3 года назад

@@krkhns I don't know about that, it would be TOO easy to re-record the original with the treble up and bass down, with maybe an effect or two, then add static from a portable AM radio IN the studio without going through the trouble of removing a radio from the car.

How do you listen to a song like this for the first time and not think something like- damn that’s a good song? Don’t get hung up on the little things. I usually don’t know what the lyrics are in songs and don’t really care all that much. If a song sounds good I’m in and that’s it. I let music be a soundtrack to my life, and I don’t generally care what the writer was speaking of because that’s their life and although we can all relate to many things in life, lyrics are art. Meaning it has definite meaning for the artist(s) but can also mean many things to the rest of us.
