News were released today, the man who was the mind, the brilliant, shiny, strange mind behind Pink Floyd, has passed away due to diabetes complications.
I cried at work. I made with a sharpie on a piece of masking tape that says "Long live Syd Barrett" and I'm baring it on my chest.
The man that wrote and sung guitar in hand so many unbelievable songs, and gave my favorite band the inspiration to exist-- the crazy diamond- shines now from above.
I will sin now of lack of originality, but in this case, I think is but appropriate:
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond "
"Remember when you were young,
you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine"
The world, is one unbelievable songwriter and musician short today. But I'm happy as happy can be.
Because this only means than since Friday, heaven is a psychodelic place.
