Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
bye Syd!!!
and angels sing thee to thy rest.

Truly shocking and sudden. I hope his last few years were happy ones. Hope his past didn't bring him too much pain, because he did accomplish some amazing stuff, despite his star falling so abruptly. "See Emily Play," "Arnold Layne," the first Floyd album, and some great solo material ain't bad at all.
Going to listen to Wish You Were Here, in honor of him. Will play some of his solo stuff, too.
In the sad town
cold iron hands clap
the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade
I'm screaming, I met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through a washing machine
come around, make it soon, so alone...
please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the sad town
cold iron hands clap
the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade

Farewell, Mr. Barrett.
I loved
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn the first time I heard it. What a remarkable debut album.

May Syd rest in peace,
but his legacy will live on.
