Hoy se cumplen once años del fallecimiento de Roger Keith Barrett, más conocido como Syd. A menos de un mes de la conmemoración del cincuenta aniversario de The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, homenajeamos a Syd Barrett con un colaje que engloba las letras de su ópera prima.
I want to tell you a story
His Majesty was in command
Going and coming without error
He didn’t care
Sitting on a unicorn no fear
But now he’s resigned to his fate
Suddenly, something I can’t explain
Alone in the clouds, look at the sky
The sound surrounds
At night a thousand misty riders
Sunset, sunrise, stars can frighten
Bells in a room of musical tunes
Ringing to tell the King the news
Thunder in the Earth
A fight between the blue you once knew
Flicker flicker flicker blam pow pow
Oh mother tell me more…
Shine on Syd!
