Hmm, I dunno. That's a damn good song though.

The secret to being funny is to say smart things stupidly, or is it stupid things smartly? Whatever..it's not rocket surgery...or something like that.

Hey you could be.....PF's Syd Barrett as the Diamond.  Ended up having a mental breakdown from daily LSD doses.

Wonder if there is anything else to this?

no man.

They were making this record, and they intentionally wrote the lyrics for Shine on and wish you were here for Syd. After the success of Dark Side and a failed attempt at the "household items" record, they didn't really know where to go, so they made an album for Syd amongst the success and all, Wish you were here.
While they were recording Shine on, an anthem written about and for Syd himself, Syd showed up in the studio, pretty much at random, sat on a couch while they were recording, didn't say much if anything, and eventually got up and left. Didn't come back at all for the rest of the sessions. Strange shit.

Yeah, apparently Syd said if they needed anything, he was there. It was the only time (probably to this day) they'd seen him since back in the day. Apparently he was balding and overweight. Roger Waters admitted that he indeed cried.

As far as the name of the song goes, I don't think it's trying to spell out Syd. Especially on account of the word crazy (on is ignorable, but come on). Maybe thats just me though :smile:

My favorite Syd Barett song is Astronomy Domine! Shine on's not bad though. Of course, I've never heard a Pink Floyd song I didn't like...

Yep, and at first they didn't even know who he was!!!

Quote:
They also played a bit of an interview with Roger Waters where he described the day that Syd came to visit. He came in that day and met Dave in the studio, and there was this strange fat bald man in there too. "Who is that?" Roger whispers to Dave. "Hell if I know," Dave whispers back. The strange man doesn't say anything, just gets up occasionally to dance around the room or brush his teeth or other bizarre things. And then after about 45 minutes somebody realizes it's Syd, and that he's come in on the very day they're laying the vocal tracks for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." Isn't that sad?


Interesting anecdote. It must of been very hard for Dave to cope with it, when they did a show Syd would go there and start shouting at him"that was my band! But that was my band!!" Very sad a creative man like that had such bad luck :sad:
