You just like to post negative things about him so you can take the focus off his immense talent and creativity. His family said that he wasn’t mentally ill. He was a beautiful person that are alive and he still was alive

[@AkeFreak]

I just love the Syd Barrett's era videos (and music, obviously) they're bloody amazing.

[@collj86]

I think syd had awesome hair...

[@BARBRAPEACE]

he was really handsome

[@laynescooby9784]

Ik I've been growing my hair out because of him

[@jazzsolo84]

Layne Scooby i tried that once... it didnt work...

[@엔제리-g7r]

The reason why he looks cool with that kind of hair is because he is handsome. Wouldn't most people just look like beggars if they had that hairstyle lol

[@romneycareful]

This is Syd at his rhythmic best. Listen to how the electric guitar matches up with the vocals--perfectly in time, but with the emphasis on different beats so as to give a slightly "off kilter" feeling.

[@d.mulanovich]

50 years on and still sound great ..what a genius syd was .RIP

[@bradpitt4815]

This song is an instrumental masterpiece. The intro gets me every time. It reminds me of almost an old renaissance sound.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

LucyWonderland Is cause Syd Barrett also was heavy influenced by the ENGLISH FOLKLORE.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

This song IS NOT BLUES INFLUENCED, Really is a ENGLISH FOLK song, a beautiful composition by the missed Syd Barrett.

What the hell are Nick and Rog doing?! Invisible guns hahaha

[@thinginground5179]

love how syd is just in the background stomping on wheat. also this video is like a group of mates just messing about wandering in the fields and forests. Takes me back a few years ago. This video gives me extreme nostalgia and the fields look exactly the same where i live., I miss the days of playing out. Now everyone's sat on their phones wasting away....

[@Grendelmonster8u]

I've never seen this video and I was just recently listening to The Piper At The Gates of Dawn CD. Early Pink Floyd with Syd is so different than with Gilmour. I like Nick Mason's flowers in his hat. Thanks for uploading this.

[@uberblake]

I just played this to my dog to see if he'd like it. He showed no particular interest.

[@cmass761]

Go away and don't come back , if you think the clip is a joke. They are a very respected and long-lived band who are still revered by many. If not to you and your partner's liking, go for a walk. A long one. On a short pier.

awsome video seeing syd in a video clip is a rare treat they look like they are having fun doing it one problem i have with this clip is that its too short we need longer videos of them together

Love the posh voiced BBC like announcers at the beginning...fabulous. Great whimsical track from Syd and the chaps (pronounced in posh BBC Like announcers voice). Wish the outro was twice as long.

Way ahead of their time,Great keyboards from the late great Richard Wright

[@Flamingboy100]

Every night I walk my dog down the river........on the way back I pass vegetable patches on some land and there stands a lonely scarecrow.......funny really cos I always think of this lovely tune everytime I see him.... :-)

[@samstephens5863]

And Rog's majestic as fuck at 0:33, Nick's adorable (anticrust), Syd's perfect and well Pink Floyd's (or the pink floyd, back then) just great

[@tangledandfar]

Thanks for sharing. This song always makes me happy and I love the colors in this film. I really want Rick Wright's shirt.

[@GetAnotherShrink]

Heh... I love it when Syd suddenly pops up from the bushes. (and then wild Nick appears with random plant fragments on his hat...)

[@LunaticWalrus98]

Pink Floyd has been my favorite band since the 3rd grade I'm trying to form a psychedelic band because of them, and I have a Precision Bass because Roger has one, his name is Eugene (Careful with that ax) :). I hope to get a telecaster guitar because Syd had one, Half of my shirts are Pink Floyd Shirts. I have Pink Floyd Stuff all over my room. I think they've completely taken over my life

[@GeorgeRingoGirl]

Richard is very cute...

[@tjkeasyboy]

Yep, and Syd may have already been suffering fom these mental problems, and with the use of constant LSD (this also happened to Brian Jones, at about the exact same time) his demons got the better of his sanity. He simply began to lose touch with what we call 'reality'. Drugs have different effects on everyone, some people have spiritual experiences and some spend a lifetime in hell, never able to really come back. It really depends on your mental stability, physical health, and souroundings.

[@Virus14092]

The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere. He didn't care. He stood in a field where barley grows. His head did no thinking His arms didn't move except then the wind cut up Rough and mice ran around on the ground He stood in a field where barley grows. The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me But now he's resigned to his fate 'Cause life's not unkind - he doesn't mind. He stood in a field where barley grows.

[@chev6art]

@LunaticWalrus98 Focus your appreciation of them in the 1965-68 Barrett Era. Just a recommendation. As you listen to them over and over from those years, you will finally realise what a genius Barrett was. He invented everything about that band; you will always hear traces of Barrett in stuff Pink Floyd does much later on! It's a wonderful thing!

[@XspectrumwolfX]

0:15 Me too, Roger.

[@piepiepie900]

This is my favourite album. Ever.

[@alexcopland6257]

This such an evocative number. A pal gave me a vinyl single of this around 1971/2. We'd been living it up in that contemporary 'student' way, that night. When I got home, I put in on the turntable. I forgot to adjust the speed to 45rpm, so I heard it at 33rpm, for the first time. However, such was the reputation of the Floyd, and in all honesty, my own condition, that I didn't notice the fact. Now and again, I search it out and play it at 33rpm - risking my last remaining stylus (needle). If I'm lucky, I manage to drift off, back to a time when girls valued oneself rather than your clothes and your car.

[@kaptainbastard]

It cost 50p to produce this video and i think its much better than than those new ones that cost around 50 gazillion dollars. RIP sanity.

Does anyone know where this video was shot? Just wondering, as I lived in Cambridge at the time. N.B. I WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT INVOLVED IN THE THEFT OF UNDERWEAR. 😒

They were having fun as they recorded this, they were a band, they were friends. Following albums were masterpieces just like Piper, but they were never the same since Roger took over, Syd was definitely the man

[@einarsteinnvalgarsson3333]

I love the horse hooves! Gives the song a wonderful rhythm.

[@ascha730]

It's so weird to see Roger Waters like this. So amazing to know that he wasn't always as serious as he is now

[@tjkeasyboy]

You know your rock n' roll man;) After Syd died Rolling Stone wrote a huge article about him, his life as a recluse after pink floyd, how songs like 'wish you were here' were odes to him. Roger Waters said in many ways Syd was the lucky one, forced to retire so early he continued to collect royalties all those years while Pink Floyd kept touring and working their asses off. Syd enjoyed his English country retreat in peace until he died.

[@hammer44head]

Roger never even hinted Syd was lucky!! Syd was friends with Roger you seriously think Roger thought syd was lucky he fried his brain? I dont believe that for a second. Roger could be a ass for sure but to think he would wish that on anybody is pretty stupid.

[@TheAstronomyFloyd]

I always go to this kind of Pink Floyd after listening to High Hopes for some reason.

[@tracyjacks9479]

I think George Lucas stole the Force idea from this video

[@villaparis2]

This is after Syd became an acid casualty, the songs been criticised for including the sound of horse hooves which have nothing to do with the lyrical content of the song, probably wasn't Syd's idea.

[@xanaduxanadu3605]

Did Syd have a stroke way back in his 20's? Or a lack of oxygen to the brain or was it schizophrenia?Was his breakdown brought on by overdose of LSD? Did he have memories or know anything in his later years about past family or friends or his days of fame? Luckily his family cared for him and he wasn't institutionalized. They say that the members of PF gave him monetary proceeds from their albums. Is that true, if anyone knows? His early music is wistful and even childlike in parts.

[@thinginground5179]

another possibility: He was just too cool and had a mind like no other

[@Kuhlyedascope69]

some people dont want to make work out of the true leisures and arts... drugs and social suicide work well together unfortunately; capricornism.

A friend and I watched a DVD episode of "Endeavour" the other day. Endeavour found a scarecrow that he discovered had the jacket and ID badge of a man who'd disappeared six years earlier. The episode took place in 1968, and was excellent. Scarecrow played in my head for a few hours afterward.

My version of scarecrow The king By my band River The king was mean but always smart Who took a field and turned into a factory of tarts He felt the waves of his hair sweating He made his bets And loved pets But his favorite was down poor jets. The king who bossed us around Told us to take down the town Which we disobeyed which made him mad. He was a kind majesty is what we called him. Written by me

Within five years Syd did just 13 good songs, with Pink floyd and two good solo albums. Then he disapeared just like that, he was living with his mom for over thirty years and then he died, why such a waste of talent ???

[@ElSyd7]

Great!

[@Scoob505]

Just hanging out.

[@krollaostmedburger]

Is there a deeper meaning behind syds lyrics or do they actually means exactly what he says

[@thinginground5179]

they mean what he says, but theres a few songs that he hints about himself in like Vegetable Man, Jugband Blues was pretty much about himself being aware of his mental state and getting kicked out of the band.. Scream Thy Last Scream was basically a big "fuck you" from syd to the music industry because they didnt like his erratic song writing or something. and i just realised im 8 years late so whatever

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

@UnifermiusMatty The tall, red shirted guy is Roger. The guy in the green shirt carrying the scarecrow is the wonderful SYD. The guy in the goofy hat is a mustache-free Nick. The last adorable guy is Rick.

[@Flip86x]

@HippieHappyTV Syd Barret only did one album with them and most of the songs sound EXACTLY like The Beatles. He was just imitating. After Barret, Pink Floyd became original and stopped emulating The Beatles.
