‘Ενα κλασικό τραγούδι του “Crazy Diamond”, ιδρυτή, αρχηγού και κινητήριας δύναμης των αρχικών Pink Floyd. Από το The Madcap Laughs, πρώτο άλμπουμ που ο Barrett κυκλοφόρησε μετά την απομακρυνσή του από το γκρουπ.
A classic song by “Crazy Diamond”, founder, leader and driving force of the original Pink Floyd. From The Madcap Laughs, first album Barrett released after his ousting from the group.
When I woke up today
and you weren’t there to play
then I wanted to be with you
when you showed me your eyes
whispered love at the skies
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me…
When I lay still at night seeing
stars high and light
then I wanted to be with you
when the rooftops shone dark
all alone (I) saw a spark
spark of love just to stay with you
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me…
If I mention your name
turn around on a chain
then the sky opens for you
when we grew very tall
when I saw you so small
then I wanted to stay with you
inside me I feel alone and unreal
and the way you kiss will always be
a very special thing to me…

Definitely a song of the times.
I didn’t know about Syd. I looked him up. Interesting, possibly sad. His art seems troubled. I like some of it. Some I do not understand at all.
SB was the epitome of “mad genius”. Unfortunately, drugs played a destructive role in his case, the greatest problem of all being the time he spent in a “friendly couple”‘ s home : they used to put LSD in his tea every day “to see what happens”, without him knowing at all. He eventually flipped out.
A funny thing has to do with the way he described the other Pink Floyd members, which he had recruited : “a bunch of not very interesting people”.
