You guys should look up the backstory to this song. It’s essentially about their original singer and primary songwriter, Syd Barrett, who had to leave the band before they really blew up due to severe mental health issues. It’s a tragic, but fascinating, story. And this is only half the song. This opens the album and the other half closes the album.

I am a African American woman who traveled with the Grateful Dead. Total Psychonaut. I am rare. I was often the only black woman at shows with 1000s of attendees mostly white men. My music knowledge is deep. I have to say that I am so incredibly honored to witness my fellow black brothers exploring sound without prejudice. To watch the opening of the mind is .... I can’t find a word for it. Exquisite. It brings tears to my eyes. I love my black brothers and I have so much respect for the willingness to expand your being. Something I never thought I would be able to witness. And yes seeing Pink Floyd live is ... man, it’s a travel through the galaxy without leaving the earth. Rx Headphones. Plant medicine. And you will hear the layers of the mind. Btw: it was improv... yep this song was improvised. If you ever want some recommendations on music that will blow your mind. I’m happy to share what I know. The wall by Pink Floyd is a very serious insight to what is currently happening to us. Thank you for this . I don’t know if anyone will read this comment or care however this episode has healed my heart. I am so proud of my black brethren. Free your mind and your ass will follow

It really hit me when you said that you could just be hanging out with your Dad listening to this, with no conversation. I drove my Dad to the airport, maybe 10 years ago+ with this playing in the car. Not a word was spoken until the lyrics, and Dad asked who this was and that he liked it. He is a Vietnam vet and of an age that I assumed he would have heard Pink Floyd. It remains to this day the only song that I know we like together.

That’s really cool. And you’re right, there’s a weird synchronicity that happens when you just enjoy music with someone without speaking to each other. My dad used to play Dark Side of the Moon on long drives and sometimes we’d listen to the entire record (30-40 min) without uttering a single word to one another. Recently, neuroscience has shed light on a few things regarding how brain waves synchronize when processing music. There’s a great book on it called “Your Brain on Music.”

I'd always sensed it back then, but, this song, and the cannabis, reeeaaally brings that sacred energetic feeling we all had once, back. The inner child--or something more, i don't know.

What strikes me about this solo even more than most of his is the dynamic shaping of the individual phrases. Soft-loud-soft in a three or four note phrase. Like he's channeling BB King. Or when he goes into the high, screaming registers, he reduces the volume, so it CRIES instead. It's just gorgeous.

This is a Masterpiece. It's one of the greatest songs ever recorded and was written about Syd Barrett the founder of Pink Floyd. Syd took to much LSD in the late 60's and lost his marbles. I attended TWO nights of the Pulse tour in April 1994 at the Rose Bowl 20th row dead center both nights, It was the best concerts of my life and I've seen over 600. Two of my top ten concerts, the other eight were Pink Floyd "The Wall" Tour 1980 at the LA Sports Arena, Roger Waters and David Gilmore on solo tours! Pink Floyd is the GREATEST BAND EVER!!!

Correct, it is dedicated to a person, whose name is hidden in the title: (S)hine On (Y)ou Crazy (D)iamond Syd Barrett was a founding member of the band and was considered by his bandmates to be the most talented musician among them. They were forced to kick him out of the band when he began suffering from severe mental illness brought on by his overindulgence in LSD. A very tragic story. This song has 9 parts, comparable to "movements" in a classical music composition. You just listened to Part 1 through Part 5. I highly recommend that you also listen to Part 6 - 9, which IMHO surpasses 1 - 5. I think that if Mozart were alive today, this is the type of music he would produce.

I personally don’t think 6-9 surpass parts 1-5 but I whole-heartedly agree with everything else you said. They’re certainly a fitting end. A few extra notes though for anyone else, including George and Ryan: Shine on You Crazy Diamond are the bookends for the Wish You Were Here album with Welcome to the Machine (haunting and progressive), Have a Cigar (perhaps my favorite solo), and Wish You Were Here (practically a country song) in the middle. Even if they don’t do a full reaction I hope they just listen to it end to end. I know many will say Dark Side but, to me, this was pinnacle Floyd.

If there's one rock album ever written that deserves a full listen through, it's Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. I know not everyone would be interested in a 60+ minute video reacting to your first listen, but I can't think of a better way to experience that album for the first time. George mentioned just sitting and listening to a song, and so many Pink Floyd albums work so well for that. Sit and listen and absorb it, without other distractions. You'll appreciate them so much more that way.

The entire album is about Syd Barrett, the band literally wishing he was there. The songs between the two halves of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (which has "SYD" hidden in the title) are about the soul-crushing nature of the music industry ("Welcome to the Machine" and "Have a Cigar") and someone missing a friend presumably consumed by it ("Wish You Were Here"). The wild thing is that Barrett actually showed up at the studio while Pink Floyd was recording the album. This bald, disheveled middle-aged man wandered into the studio, and it took the band several minutes to realize it was him. He stayed for a bit then left, and it was the last time the band saw him before his death.

As a musician, "pacing" is entirely based on feel. Regardless of what a label says, if it feels wrong it's probably wrong. Pink Floyd were/are world class musicians that knew EXACTLY what they were doing and how to make it happen. Masters of their craft on a level few reach. They felt/feel the song first and foremost, and their blues roots are proudly worn and displayed at a high level, composed from their hearts and souls, not a guideline or anything like that. This whole record is composed in a way that lets you feel what they felt, to a degree at the least, and understand what they felt about the world as well as being a tribute to one of their own.

Even though it was devastating knowing he is with God gives me peace. And that he no longer has to hurt. He was my hero I was always my daddy's little girl. He was amazing. I only have happy memories now but there are times I feel his presence. I know he will be watching over me always. God bless you.

This song is homage to Syd. The story of Syd showing up during a mixing session for this song is amazing. Nobody recognized him until Gilmour eventually identified him. Waters broke down in tears at the sight of his former band leader and friend. Syd was overweight and had a shaved head and eyebrows. Sad and beautiful at the same time.

Slightly incorrect. Wish You Were Here was recorded in 1975 but Syd lived on in self chosen isolation in Cambridge, England until his death in 2006 from pancreatic cancer. IIRC it had a surge in popularity in the wake of Syd's death.

Think of this song as a group of amazing musicians going through all the stages of grief together, and sharing that grief with the world. The length means nothing, as long as you say everything you mean to express. Think of the tears at a funeral for a young person full of potential that had it cut short. The memories you have of that person. The deepest wish of your heart that that person was still here - hence the title of the album. It's all of that - except that Syd was not dead. The lyrics are mourning his loss, yet inspiring him to come back and shine on. It's a masterpiece.

According to all interviews, books and documentaries I've seen on the band: Roger Waters was a master of timing; David Gilmour was able to come up with unique melodies, in the case of this song, he said "the riff just 'fell' out of my guitar when just messing around"; Richard Wright had a jazz musician's background and ear and knew how to choose those moving and emotional chords; and Nick Mason had the feel for when to fill in with drums/percussion. Together they were a very special combination.

Thanks for this epic song guys. ((Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun Shine on you crazy diamond)) This song is dedicated to Syd Barret, notice the title, (S)hine On (Y)ou Crazy (D)iamond. one of the original founders of the band. He wrote most of Pink Floyd’s debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and appeared on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets. In this lines the band remember the big influence that he have on the music that they play. His demons was drugs, fame and mental illness. And before them, Syd really shine and the vision that he put inside the band, is the foundation of the incredible sound of Pink Floyd. __________ ((Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky Shine on you crazy diamond)) This look in his eyes that seem black holes in the sky refers to the large dilation of the pupils that people have while tripping under the effects of LSD. Blackened eyes filled completely with the silent madness of an individual that is tortured inside himself. Many of the members noted him having such this strange look in his eyes that reflect the declining of mental health of Syd. But at the end of all Syd Barrett was a big giant Diamond, that will continue to shine in the legacy he left as a great innovator in music. __________ ((You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, Blown on the steel breeze)) The description of his character is all here. A crossfire between a children, that don’t have self discipline, and a big star of music, that can have any thing he want. Like big quantities of LSD. Blown on the steel breeze is an implicit reference to Syd being symbolised by the leaf in the song Dark Globe. In this song the band, represented by the willow tree, drops the leaf Syd, leaving him to the steel (cold) breeze (wind). Leaving someone out in the cold means excluding someone. Blowing off someone means to ignore it. Syd was blown off by the band, as their parting occurred with the band simply not picking up Syd one day. __________ ((Come on you target for faraway laughter, Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!)) Sometime when Sid is on the stage, he start playing different tunes or strumming on one chord the whole show. And people from the audience, make laughters for this behaviours, that happen with spotlight that show Syd in this weak way. The lights show the nudity of Syd, and his soul and his mind. But the laughters maybe can meaning the auditory hallucinations that he can heard when he use LSD. The drugs turn Syd from an happy individual to a stranger. An inaccessible person alone inside his shell. defining Syd a martyr, the band maybe blamed theme-selves for trying to convince he to write some great song. Another big hit. But Syd was more interested in exploring different way to do his art. This was one of the major factors with LSD that lead to the deterioration of the personality and the mental health of this great artist. __________ ((You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond.)) The big goal of Syd was to discover all the secrets of the true meaning of life and all the big mysteries behind it. And he use drugs to achieve that goal. But along the way, he get a mental illness. And some really great music. We can see a reference to Dark side of the moon in this words, whose themes about madness were inspired dy Syd too. But i think that this is a strong reference to the Syd’s last Pink Floyd song Jugband Blues : “And I never knew the moon could be so big And I never knew the moon could be so blue And I’m grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red”. In this song Syd use the moon as a metaphor for madness. __________ ((Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond.)) Children will perceive the shadows of furniture as a monster , like we see featured in a scene in the film The Wall. As Syd was thought to be a schizophrenic, the lines communicate the idea of being afraid of what is not actually there with hallucinations. Or this shadows can be the shadows of his past, that can’t leave him. Another time the spotlight during the show appear. This light reveal all the weakness of Syd. And show his mental illness to the world. This words end with a great guitar solo, where seems like if he scream, trying to tell us the torture of his soul. Between panic for shadows and humiliation showed by lights. __________ ((Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, Rode on the steel breeze.)) A dedication to Syd like guitar player. A great innovator for this instrument. Gilmour came up with 4 notes that became the basis for this. Roger Waters thought they conveyed emotions Barrett must have been feeling, and wrote lyrics about him. This was a song very difficult to record. They redid it a few times before getting a version they liked. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! Here we can see the clear dedication of this song to a big artist. A man with a clear vision of his art, that build the foundations for a band that make the history of music. Syd was a painter too, and was the real piper, that write most of the first album Piper at the gates of dawns. But he was a prisoner too, a prisoner of the drugs that have destroyed his life.

As a formally trained retired performer with composer and arranger friends... You write for the gig and the audience. This audience is laying on the couch with headphones on, ready to be somewhere else. Floyd is precise and intentional with the addition of every color and texture. And under it all is the groove that gets a little faster and or harder. Build it up to your "shout chorus" as we call it in the jazz tradition. I hadn't listened to this in ages, and I was struck again at Gilmore's bluesy finesse. Shaping each phrase. The way he backs off the volume in the screaming range of the instrument, and makes it cry instead. Like he's channeling BB King. Just a masterpiece.

“Black holes in the sky” is a sort of double entendre. While referring to the emptiness in his eyes from his mental break, it also refers to what happens to your eyes when taking LSD; they dilate. Extraordinarily. Syd was a fan and, unfortunately, some speculate may have spurred on his poor mental health.

Syd could stand passive a whole show towards the end of his membership in the band. The origin of this song came from Syd turning up at a rehearsal long after he was in the band. Fat, short haired, black holed eyes and not very reachable. No one recognised him at first. Don't even think any conversation took place until he stolled away after a while.

I still hold a vivid memory of a long car ride with a friend (we were going skiing). He was driving and offered me a small joint to myself. Finished the smoke and he popped in DSOTM for my first time hearing it. I was literally blown away with the depth and emotion I felt and committed to this band from that day on.

Keep it up please and listen to the second half of Shine that ends the album. It's a bit funky, full of R&B, Gilmore guitar and that space cadet vibe that we love.

I'm upbeat mostly. Sometimes I'm down. Pink Floyd are a tonic for the downtimes. You don't talk, you just experience. I'm so proud of English musicians taking on blues and just doing our thing with it. I love blues and jazz. It took time for me to adjust to English blues rock but it grows on you so strong.

Cool reaction, Pink Floyd were masters at constructing music , never in a rush , drawing you in , making you contemplate life. They knew when to transition , when to pause , then layer in another sound you never expected. Not to mention waiting 8 minutes for lyrics , but never annoying you if those vocals don't arrive. Absolute legends

Whenever a new Pink Floyd album would come out and I would be listening to a new song I just remember it was always so exciting to wonder just what was going to come next! They still are the most unique band but back in the 70s we're almost magical!! We had very few electronic distractions back then and long songs were really enjoyed by groups of people! There was a lot of laying on the floor or a couch with eyes closed just listening to this which is the way to enjoy it! They truly are the Mozart of the twentieth century!!

That's why I love David Gilmour. His game is so emotional and sensitive and has a direct effect on the soul. His guitar always speaks to the listener. I consider him one of the best guitarists in history. I don't know who said that, but he's right: "Leo Fender created Startocaster and God created David Gilmour to play him." And yes, the song is dedicated to Pink Floyd founder Syde Barrett, who soon had to leave the band due to excessive use of hard drugs (he was replaced by David Gilmour). Barrett was a brilliant musician, singer and songwriter and music experimenter. After leaving Pink Floyd, he attempted a solo career, recording several albums but never being very successful. He died of cancer in 2006. During his career, Pink Floyd dedicated many songs and practically the entire album Wish You Were Here. If you admire playing guitar by David Gilmour (like me), listen to "Comfortably Numb" from the live Pulse concert - it's an experience not only for the ears but also for the eyes! Excuse my English - I'm from the Czech Republic ...

Yes this song is definitely about Syd Barrett who was the principal songwriter for the first album the Piper At the Gates of Dawn album and was a great guitar player and out for that first album and subsequent tour he slowly started to kind of vanish before their eyes through madness and within less than a year so they had to hire David Gilmour to kind of come in and help rebuild the band and do Syd Barrett guitar parts but this song is for Syd and it’s a brilliant song and a sad song about someone who was so talented and as talented as the Beatles But really has not got much recognition because he only put out one album With Pink Floyd and then he put out two solo albums that which is very interesting David Gilmour actually helped produce because he still cared about his dear friend ,,,,, people that know Pink Floyd know how important Syd Barrett is and this song is kind of a love letter to Barrett and how incredible he was and could’ve been. RIP Syd. You crazy diamond
