  • It is obvious
    may I say, oh baby, that it is found on another plane?
    Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall
    your stars - my stars, a simple cock bar
    only an impulse - pie in the sky
    mumble listen dolly
    drift over your mind - holly
    creep into bed when your head's on the ground
    she held the torch on the porch,
    she winked an eye
    Reason it is written on the brambles
    stranded on the spikes - my blood red, oh listen:
    remember those times I could call
    through the clear day
    time - be there...
    braver and braver, a handkerchief waver
    the louder you lips to a loud hailer
    growing together, they ('re) growing each either
    no wondering, stumbling, fumbling
    rumbling minds shot together,
    our minds shot together...
    So equally over a valley, a hill
    wood on quarry stood, each of us crying
    a velvet curtain of gray
    mark the blanket where the sparrows play
    and the trees by the waving corn stranded
    my legs move the last empty inches to you
    the softness, the warmth from the weather in suspense
    mote to a grog - the star a white chalk
    minds shot together, our minds shot together...

    It always seems like there is an inevitability of form with Syd's words; as if he didn't imagine them from scratch, but rather caught a glimpse of the pure and complete poetry in a metaphysical elsewhere and then accurately decoded it and manifested it into this reality. Like all great artists, it seems like he was merely channeling his art from the realm of Perfect Beauty; a clever, but tortured medium between Here and There.

    It is obvious
    May I say, oh baby, that it is found on another plane
    Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall
    Your stars, my stars, a simple cot bars
    Only an impulse - pie in the sky

    Braver and braver, a handkerchief waver
    The louder your lips to a loud hailer
    Growing together, they good of each other
    No wondering, stumbling, fumbling, rumbling
    Minds shot together, our minds shot together

    Wood on quarry stood, each of us crying

    And the trees by the waving corn stranded

  • @michaelholtermann9129
    @michaelholtermann9129 3 місяці тому

    The healthy Syd Barrett was very creative. He wrote more than 52 songs. Unfortunately he had already taken drugs before his time with Pink Floyd. His second solo album Barrett is better than Pink Floyd albums 2, 3 and 4. The ill Syd Barrett failed as a painter and musician. Nobody knows exactly how Syd lived from 1975 to 2006. The last documentary showed nothing new!!! How long did he battle his drug addiction??? Was he in a psychiatric hospital?? Why did he live in such isolation??? What illness did Syd have??? He painted pictures and then burned them in his garden. His sister Rosemary Breen once said: He had to learn to come to terms with his brain damage!! His neighbor said: He often heard Syd screaming at night. I think he was tormented by his demons!! A sad story. The psychiatric hospital wasn't ready at that point. He was treated with the wrong medication at the beginning. I don't know if he ever found redemption or peace for his soul. A tragedy.

    Such an amazing piece of work, but such a crappy sound arrangement.. Barrett lost it by the time he wrote the music of this song.. And the sound arrangers completely fucked up the essence of the song. This song has a Major chord structure and the use of an interesting Raga. Robin Hitchcock's version is impeccably done.. and that is how the song should sound like
