RIP Syd Barret

:asian: :asian: :asian:

A creative, and disturbed mind...finally at peace.
 
"let me tell you a song about a girl that I knew. She didn't like my songs and it made me feel blue. She said a big band is far better than you..."
 
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 cross fire 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!
 
REMINDER: Please turn off your signatures on remembrance threads as a sign of respect for the deceased. Thank you.
