My dad used to sing this song to me when I was small. He passed away not long after, so imagine my delight when I discovered Pink Floyd on my own as an angsty teenager and got to hear the songs my dad used to sing me once again. Thanks for the upload!
My dad used to sing me a song that I thought went "Mairzy Doats and Doazy Doats and little Lamzy Divy." Then twenty years later I was on my way to pub trivia when I found a book on the sidewalk called One Hit Wonders. The song was by a 1930s Borshcht Belt comedian named Ish Kabibble (probably not real name)
@@CricketEngland He died in 2006, and I think they mean he "went away" in a mental sense. By the 80s he was no longer Syd, but went back to his birth name "Roger Keith Barrett" and pretty much never spoke of his musical past again publicly, though he signed some books for Mick Rock in 2002 I think.
@@DalekWindmill My grandad nearly met syd twice. Once at Mick Rock but he did not go there and a party that happened when he started to go insane (70's) and it had to be cancelled because Syd was having some problems.
I feel if Syd didn’t lose his mind he would have been very successful in the 1970’s and 1980’s with the advancements in technology. He’s the biggest what if in music history. The first 2 Pink Floyd albums are masterpieces
Want to tell You a story 'Bout a little man if I can A gnome named Grimble Gromble And little gnomes stay in their homes Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine He wore a scarlet tunic A blue-green hood, it looked quite good He had a big adventure Amidst the grass, fresh air at last Wining, dining, biding his time... And then one day Hooray, another way for gnomes to say Ooh my... Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Winding, finding places to go And then one day Hooray, another way for gnomes to say Ooh my...
I find myself singing this song every once in awhile. I just love it- saw them do it live way back then. " Look at the sky, look at the river...isn't it gooooood!"
This sounds almost like a children's song, but with some of the same darker, trippier vibes of The Hobbit underneath, like Gollum waiting to pop out and snag himself some nice fish!
I believe Syd's mind was connected directly to the creative force of the universe, and this stuff just poured out through him unobstructed. I believe his illness was also the source of his creative genius. The way his songs grip your soul and never let go is so profound and remarkable. There are no words to express how much I admire and love him.
Great to hear Syd absolutely! A poet in his own right, the brightness of music with the feeling of the Lysergic dripping away, which took him to a dark place…xxGod bless you mate!xx
Yeah and just in like 12 years. It’s funny that we think of PF as a 50 year band, when almost all of their creative output was recorded in just the first 5 short years between 67 & 72, then just a few more albums spread out over the next decade, all but one of which were really Waters solo albums anyway, and then the post-waters Gilmour solo albums that became PF v.3, & they were done. And most everybody only really knows the later stuff. Pretty weird.
@@Spuzzmacher I've always preferred the '67 to '72 Floyd. I like when artists have their "figuring out" period. Before all of their albums have the same mood and feel.
Well that's entirely due to Syd being the primary song writer and singer for the first few years, then he slowly started to degrade so Roger and David had to figure out their writing style for the band. They basically were Syd's band for the first few years
I was watching a stream by a guy name joel who played this song. All i could say was. I recognize the voice but couldn't be able to know why till i looked up lyrics and here am i surprised that it was from Pink Floyd although it is from original lead singer not one we are familiar with. But the way the voice is stylized along with music instruments playing must made me help connect the dots to the band. Anyways i love this cozy simple song and genuinely surprised they even did this.
I can hear every tone and style of the British Invasion within this early form of the band. Strange- no one knew about the Pink Floyd until they were introduced to us in the USA via underground FM radio.
The first time I ever took LSD (early 90s) we listened to this album on cassette. It was the first time I'd ever heard it. It blew my mind, to say the least.
im just here for the pink floyd love ♥️ and i cant wait for more old pink floyd content and comment sections! also not my song of choice but who cares!? 😁
I want to tell you a story About a little man If I can A gnome named Grimble Crumble And little gnomes stay in their homes Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine He wore a scarlet tunic, A blue green hood, It looked quite good He had a big adventure Amidst the grass Fresh air at last Wining, dining, biding his time And then one day - hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Oooooooooomlay Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good Winding, finding places to go And then one day - hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Oooooooooomlay Ooooooooooooooomlay

we are so lucky syd managed to record these songs for us before going away
Going away he didn’t die until the late 90’s and made several solo albums, “octopus” in my view being the best
Sorry I mean the album “The Madcap Laughs” it’s definitely well worth a listen for early floyd fans

Want to tell You a story
'Bout a little man
if I can
A gnome named Grimble Gromble
And little gnomes stay in their homes
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine
He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue-green hood,
it looked quite good
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass, fresh air at last
Wining, dining, biding his time...
And then one day
Hooray, another way for gnomes to say
Ooh my...
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go
And then one day
Hooray, another way for gnomes to say
Ooh my...
Why did we stop writing lyrics like this? This is ironically and unironically just amazing
Because people don't do acid anymore. 🤷♀️
Maybe because we aint in the psychedelic era no more?😅
I still do! But lobsters instead of gnomes
@@thomascraymer8712rock lobsters and Gnomes indeed 😂
@@shantillydrake283 Many people do...if you know you know...
Psychedelic Pink Floyd is my favorite.
One of the finest psychedelic folk tunes
This is my favourite song. I can listen it on loop! Everytime I play it, my girlfriend says :'nooo, not again, the gnome'. 🤣
Yesss never stop. It’s a win for MANkind every time she has to listen to the Gnome and hear about his big adventure.
I find myself singing this song every once in awhile. I just love it- saw them do it live way back then. " Look at the sky, look at the river...isn't it gooooood!"
💕🥰💖
lol
put on "bike" and slowly crank the volume to max while maintaining eye contact with her
This sounds almost like a children's song, but with some of the same darker, trippier vibes of The Hobbit underneath, like Gollum waiting to pop out and snag himself some nice fish!
This was based on a true story...God bless ya Syd...
This is the best song ever
Change returns success, going and coming without error.
Different song mate, but good try 😒
@@rajjy1976 I know. Chapter 24. I just particularly like that line.
@@TheHeavyWing74 They’ll probably upload that one next week if they haven’t done so already 👍🏽
@@rajjy1976 sure hope so. Chapter 24 might be the single most inspiring song I’ve ever heard. Things cannot be destroyed once and for all.
Another song, but same feeling, isn't it?
I've used this as a substitute for bed time stories...as a foster carer, it's worked well...what a great song... thanks Syd...
Peak Floyd. Never had a vocalist with the skills of this man since 1967. God bless your souls Syd.
Agreed... fully completely!
Syd had a beautiful mind. His paintings were intriguing too
The chord progression is lovely. I used to play it to my girls when they were little
From the very beginning, Pink Floyd has been an amazing, endless trip to unknown places.
I believe Syd's mind was connected directly to the creative force of the universe, and this stuff just poured out through him unobstructed. I believe his illness was also the source of his creative genius. The way his songs grip your soul and never let go is so profound and remarkable.

Much like you I admire and love the creative mentally ill.
Great to hear Syd absolutely! A poet in his own right, the brightness of music with the feeling of the Lysergic dripping away, which took him to a dark place…xxGod bless you mate!xx
LSD + weed took him to a dark place. That’s what I believe. LSD on its own is amazing and good
Na the bad bunch of friends who kept spiking his coffee with lsd and on the top locked him up
How have I not heard of this...and I'm a fan of Pink Floyd
This song always makes me smile❤
PINK FLOYD RHE THE BEST BAND EVER
not with gilmore
A movement is accomplished in six stages.
Wow, so Many memories...
Syd's voice is so interesting & soothing. And, it is a nice catchy gnome song. 🧙♂️
Thank you Syd 💜 ....
glad to see them making music again
sorry but old upload ,syd era
lol that was funny
@@69potkidddd Old? They look young. That's the opposite of old. Nobody that young could have done something old. Did you not see the picture?
@@bW9taeH4 exactly
Cute. 😂
A masterpiece of style and mood.
the rhymes are so natural
I miss the concerts even tho I've never been in one
This song is so beautiful
Always love to play this song on job sites first thing in the morning. Volume all the way up! 😊
great tune, many good memories from when this album first came out...now getting ready to record it for my soon-to-be grandson!
Never thought I’d hear this song used in any form of media. But hearing it in Sex Education was a pleasant surprise
My favourite song of early Pink Floyd.
Sometimes when I feel down, this song cheers me up. Thanks Syd, God bless you
Absolutely the very best Song of the band
This feels so... *Surreal* ✨
Не важно на каком языке ты разговариваешь. Мы здесь что бы любить Пинк Флойд
Воистину!
Damn right !
Черепаховая посуда Тельца.
I’m a gnome, and you’ve been gnomed!
I absolutely love this track
❤❤❤❤❤
Ура, они вернулись!
Hooray, they returned!
I want to tell you a story….

Yes roger and david are such close friends in 2023... lol
КАК ЖЕ Я ЛЮБЛЮ ПИНК ФЛОЙД😫💓
И я! С детства любила поздние альбомы. А недавно открыла и ранние... вот прям прелесть🌺
AYYY, ABSOLUTELY PINK FLOYD FOREVER BEST, good time for you
...to understand floyds craftmenship at that stage in thier career and then fast forward to dark side...crazy...no pun intended
The first time I ever took LSD (early 90s) we listened to this album on cassette. It was the first time I'd ever heard it. It blew my mind, to say the least.
This song may, or may not have inspired me.
The vibraphone at 1:02 tickles my brain in just the right way
Some really good backing vocals from Rick here. (As usual)
Lovely text, lovely fairytale, nice number. Cool 💚
Hooraaaaay!
Ok -
So back in the early 90’s when I was a hippy I would smoke a bit of weed and this song would trip me right out - omg
This is for you Terence McKenna! RIP with Syd.
I can hear a pretty strong Norwegian Wood by the Beatles influence in this. "Biding his time” "drinking their wine" and "isn’t it good?"
PINK FLOYD ES PINK FLOYD los mejores 👏👍🤟👹🇨🇱
A very underrated song
0:30 He wore a scarlet tunic
0:58 Shpongle
1:13 look at the sky
The lyrics "drinking their wine" and "biding his time" are originally written by John Lennon in "Norwegian Wood" (1965)
I just listened with only my right earbud in and it sounds amazing just hearing syd🥲
I want to tell you a story, about two songs that were completely ignored…
The Gnome, Chapter 24, and Scarecrow are beautiful songs. I don’t get why they’re overlooked. Chapter 24 is probably the best song by Syd
Lollllll
Perfect, Syd L😍😍VE single ❤️
I like this, the people of old must have had awesome night’s out with such music “then one day who ray”
singing along to the hooray makes me yawn every time lol love this song
Syd Barrett foi um grande artista!
La tua storia caro Syd è diventata Leggenda con la genialità che ha acceso la luce a tanti orbi che vivevano nell'oscurità delle tenebre. RIP ❤
Syd ❤
Immortal. 💎
wiiiiiining diiiiiiining
O maior do mundo ❤️
Fair Question.
“You have failed the challenge, thank you for playing!”
I am a Pink Floyd fan since I remember, but that's Terrence McKenna who brought me here
Pink Floyd super good luck
Never noticed so much rolling of the r's on this one before.
💚 Grimble Gromble 💚
im just here for the pink floyd love ♥️ and i cant wait for more old pink floyd content and comment sections!
also not my song of choice but who cares!? 😁
Pink floyd 🔥🔥❤️
Syd could fucking sing a tune
I sing this song to my baby
Crimble Crumble
Look at the sky, look at the river, isn't it good
Up there on my Top 10 most favorite Pink Floyd Music!
Also 1:14 Biblically Accurate Angels be like (only listen to whispering)
Grandissimi ❤️ le vostre sonorità uniche !
Look at the sky...
Pink floyd was doing the you got gnomed meme before it was even popular
Hohoho heee heeee hee, hello me old chum!
Encantador.
I love this!!!
You give range
I want to tell you a story
About a little man
If I can
A gnome named Grimble Crumble
And little gnomes stay in their homes
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine
He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,
It looked quite good
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last
Wining, dining, biding his time
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomlay
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good
Winding, finding places to go
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomlay
Ooooooooooooooomlay
If i can
Nos trajeron esta canción de un mundo paralelo.
Syd precioso 💞🥺
Lyrics:
I want to tell you a story about a little man, if I can -
A gnome named Grimble Crumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic.
A blue-green good, it looked quite good.
He had a big adventure -
Amidst the grass, fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say “oooomray!”
Look at the sky, look at the river -
isn’t it good?
Winding, binding, places to go.
And then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say “oooomray!”
