RIP...



So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.

Ne brinite, on je samo otisao to that Great Gig in the Sky

Gde god da je, nadam se da je nasao mir. Poslednjih par godina je bio OK, nije imao napade, ali nije mogao da prica sa ljudima skoro uopste, a svaki razgovor o Floydima bi ga bacao u depresiju po citave nedelje. Dosta je dobro funkcionisao, s obzirom da je imao tezak dijabetes (komplikacije su mu i skratile zivot) i da su se cesto cule glasine kako ili uopste ne vidi (netacno) ili povremeno gubi vid (mozda).

Poslednje je godine proveo slikajuci (obrazovan je kao slikar), mada se nije brinuo za zavrsene slike, prosto bi ih ostavio prislonjene uza zid. Do sada niko nije video ni jednu, bas mi je zao...

Fanovi su mu napravili "memorial bench" blizu kuce - lokacija je do danas poznata samo toj grupi "hardcore" fanatika - i on je ponekad (retko) sedeo tamo.

Dejv se brinuo da redovno dobija premije od albuma Floyda na kojima je radio, mada je na njega retko naletao.

I jos komentar o njegovom nacinu sviranja:

Peter Jenner: "Syd was no guitar hero - never remotely in the class of Page or Clapton, say, (but) he had this technique that I found very pleasing."

(I) on je bio jedan od muzicara koji je dokazivaoao kako vrhunska muzika ne zavisi od brzine, ili od jakih ritmova, nego od melodicnosti - i od same muzike.

Not now, John! ::Da, enciklopedijski primjer propalog genija.
Šteta.

Nije Syd baš propali genije.Genije jeste ali iako je svirao samo na prvom albumu Floyda The Piper at the Gates of Dawn ipak je njegovo delo veliko.On je i oformio grupu a na tom jednom albumu je napokon definisao pojam psihodelične muzike(do dan danas mi nije jasno zašto svi kad žele da govore o psihodeličnoj muzici prvo govore o Greateful Dead).

RIP Syd

Ma da, stvarno greota.

E sad moram priznati- pazi kad nisam ni znala da je jos bio ziv. Stvarno sam mislila da je umro jos tamo sedamdesetih, ono kao nesto udavio se u bazenu, overdozirao, poginuo u avionskoj nesreci, sta ja znam kako to sve ide. Bas sam bruka.

Eto, tog dana sedim tako kod zubara i lik na radiju javlja da je Sid umro a ja se izbecih, reko' dao mi cika zuba neku doooobru anesteziju...

A jos sebe smatram kao obavestenom osobom! E, jado...
Pa sad kazite jel to mozda onda i Lenon ziv? I Elvis? Brus Li? Mozda sa'ranih i ove bez veze... njaah... silly joke....

eee, bezi kuci Tamti kad nemas pojma...

Evo jos malo infa o "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".

Secam se da sam plakao, kada sam pre par godina naisao na ovo sto sledi... i usput definitivno utvrdio da je bio, znate... vanzemaljac? Covek sa sestim culom? Genije?

Roger Waters: (on writing 'Shine On, You Crazy Diamond': Pink Floyd's 1975 tribute to Syd) It was very strange. The lyrics were written, and the lyrics are the bit of the song about Syd, the rest of it could be about anything, I don't why I started writi ng those lyrics about Syd... I think because that phrase of Dave's was an extremely mournful kind of sound and it just... I haven't a clue... but it was a long time before the 'Wish You Were Here' recording sessions when Syd's state could be seen as being symbolic of the general state of the group: very fragmented.

Jerry Shirley: The last time I saw him was possibly the last time the guys in the Floyd saw him, too. They were putting the finishing touches on 'Wish You Were Here'. Earlier that day Dave Gilmour had gotten married and they had to work that night, so E MI had this roundtable dinner in the canteen for them. Across the table from me was this overweight Hare Krishna-looking chap. I thought maybe it was just someone who somebody knows. I looked at Dave and he smiled; then I realized it was Syd. The guy had to weigh close to 200 pounds and had no hair on his head. It was a bit of a shock, but after a minute I plucked up enough courage to say hello. I introduced my wife and I dunno; I think he just laughed. I asked him what he was doing lately. 'Oh, yo u know, not much: eating, sleeping. I get up, eat, go for a walk, sleep.''

Andrew King: (recognising Syd) 'Good God, it's Syd! How did you get like that?' Syd: 'I've got a very large fridge at home and I've been eating a lot of pork chops.'

Gilmour?: (on Syd hearing 'Wish You Were Here') (Roger turned to Syd and asked) 'Well, Syd what do you think of that ?' Syd said, 'Sounds a bit old.' I believe Syd just got up and split not too long after that. After two years of nobody seeing him, of all the days for him to appear out of nowhere!

Roger Waters: When he came to the 'Wish You Were Here' sessions, ironic in itself....to see this great, fat, bald, mad person, the first day he came I was in fucking tears... 'Shine On, You Crazy Diamond' was not really about Syd, he's just a symbol for a ll the extremes of absence some people have to indulge in because the only way they can cope with how fucking sad modern life is to withdraw completely. And I found that terribly sad...

Rick Wright: I walked into the studio at Abbey Road, Roger was sitting, mixing at the desk, and I saw this big bald guy sitting on the couch behind. About 16 stone: huge, bald, fat guy. And I didn't think anything of it. In those days it was quite norm al for strangers to wander into our sessions. I thought, 'He looks a bit...strange' Anyway, so I sat down with Roger at the desk and we worked for about ten minutes, and this guy kept on getting up and brushing his teeth and then sitting, doing really w eird things, but keeping quiet. And I said to Roger, 'Who is he?' and Roger said 'I don't know.' and I said 'Well, I assumed he was a friend of yours,' and he said 'No, I don't know who he is.' Anyway, it took me a long time, and then suddenly I realize d it was Syd, after maybe 45 minutes. He came in as we were doing the vocals for 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond,' which was basically about Syd. He just for some incredible reason picked the very day that we were doing a song which was about him. It was a huge shock, because I hadn't seen him for about six years. He kept standing up and brushing his teeth, putting his toothbrush away and sitting down. Then at one point he stood up and said, 'Right, when do I put my guitar on?' And of course he didn't h ave a guitar with him. And we said, 'Sorry Syd, the guitar's all done'. That's what's so incredibly...weird about this guy. And a bit disturbing, as well, particularly when you see a guy and you don't recognize him. And then for him to pick the very d ay we start putting vocals on a song about him. Very strange.
