The late Roger ‘Syd’ Barrett, from Cambridge, was a co-founder of the 1960’s music group ‘Pink Floyd’ and performed on lead guitar and vocals. He also composed many of their songs. He was responsible for inspiring an entire generation of musicians to develop their own indigenous brand of English rock music.
Syd was quintessentially English, penning idiosyncratic songs unique in style and tone. He had a hugely attractive personality and with his good looks he was difficult to ignore. He was a quick witted clown who kept family and friends laughing at his good natured cheekiness throughout his younger years. Always interested in experimenting with music, he played the recorder, piano, ukulele, Jews harp and guitar all to a good standard.

Bowie was a big fan of Syd ❤
I was in the audience for this. A great night.
I still can’t believe Bowie is gone. Like when I watch him in the Live Aid footage and he walks out on stage confident as hell with that smile on his face I think “How can someone like that be mortal?”
Soltanto il Duca poteva interpretare il brano simbolo di Syd, in un Live di David John Gilmour. Penso che Barret fosse reincarnato nel corpo di Bowie. Ora stanno certamente duettando lassù .
The results were so so, but glad it went down. Made me miss Syd more
Wasn't Syd a big influence of the Ziggy Stardust persona?
💯👏👏👏!!!!

Love this tune. Barrett's talent went largely unrecognised & continues to be. He was not irreversibly affected by drugs, but rather by being thrust into a spotlight under which his creativity would be stifled. Rest well, Syd.
A unique, original and truly amazing talent. Irreplaceable and forever hugely missed. 🔥
AMAZING..... THE BEST......
Love this song
"And the sea isn't green and i Iove the queen... And what exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke?"
canzone che parla chiaro della sua intuizione della sua ormai esclusione dal gruppo che poco dopo diventerà realtà ! ......comunque Barret resterà un mito inimitabile,le sue canzoni come disse qualcuno le dipingeva!
And I love the Queen
Loves the Queen, no joke!
The only song with both Syd and David Gilmour
What exactly is a joke,what exactly is a dream...
Il vero genio del progetto PF sei tu 💙
Il Testamento Musicale lasciato da Syd Barrett ai Pink Floyd. Un brano presente nell'album "A Saucerful Of Secrets" (1968) dei Pink Floyd ed e' il brano che "chiude" l'album come se si volesse chiudere un capitolo, il capitolo di Syd con la band di Cambridge. Per Sempre...SYD! ❤😍
E si potrebbe anche citare "..... and if the band you're in starts play different tunes......"
Real leader!
er bleibt für immer in meinem Herz!!!!!!!
Ce l'ho in una cassetta trovata mercatino americano di Livorno, nel 73/74...
Beautiful song.
I Love This Song Forever 🖤❣️🤘😎 I Love him Syd Barrett he live' s in my heart !
LOVE this song fiercely, but WHO in their management thought it had "single" potential?!?!
Jugband Blues Pink Floyd Lyrics/Letras 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 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 And the sea isn't green And I love the Queen And what exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke? Jugband Blues Es muy considerado por su parte pensar en mí aquí Y estoy muy agradecido por dejarlo claro Que yo no estoy aquí Y no sabía que la Luna podría ser tan grande Y no sabía que la Luna podría ser tan azul Y estoy agradecido de que me saqué los zapatos viejos Y me trajo aquí en vez vestido de rojo Y me pregunto quién podría estar escribiendo esta canción No me importa si el Sol no brilla Y no me importa si nada es mío Y no me importa si estoy nervioso con usted Voy a hacer mi amor en el invierno Y el mar no es verde Y me encanta la Reina Y ¿qué es exactamente un sueño? Y ¿qué es exactamente una broma?
Has everyone here heard the great song Kevin Ayers wrote about Syd called 'Oh Wot a Dream' ? The best version is live on the OGWT available on Youtube.
