SYD BARRETT: BIKE (Lyrics by Syd Barrett, Music by Pink Floyd)

[@sallysmith3287]

I have known this song for maybe 50 years without ever realising the bike in question alluded to Hoffman's first experience, as he cycled home, of the effects of the LSD he had been synthesising.

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Actually, I learned about Hoffman and his LSD bike ride just last year !!

[@Burchsong]

I think it’s a bit reductionist to say it’s about Hofman’s bike ride. It’s about a lot of things. It’s multifaceted.

[@johnmercury2272]

Shine on, Syd

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Shine on indeed !

[@charlesflett2818]

Never thought of a mouse getting old before. Amazing lyrics.

[@louisskulnik7390]

Old for them is about two years, max.

[@ArtistontheBorder]

Wow! Those ducks cracked me up!

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks very much ! I can't truly explain that I appreciate everyone who enjoys these. It makes it worthwhile. I love Syd and his poetic lyrics and the wonderful imagery they present. I'm working on more !!

Very creative allusion to the entire psychedelic experience of LSD.

[@sydpink]

Absolutely brilliant, Steve. I loved all the references to Hoffman, Freud, Dali, Chaplin and others. Very entertaining and visually beautiful. Syd would love it. Your videos should be on the official Pink Floyd site.

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks !! I enjoyed putting in the references. So glad you appreciated them. It would be wonderful to think Syd loved them, but I;m so glad you and others enjoy them.

[@doktormcnasty]

Thanks 🙏

[@dalejones9404]

Happy bicycle day!! Thanks for this

[@karlschumaker]

Very much like “Lucifer Sam”,this is another great music video that was very much inspired by the animation from the Beatles film “Yellow Submarine.” It’s also a very good way to resurrect Syd Barrett after he led a rather tragic life during his career both with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist…Excellent job Steve!!!…Karlido🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thank you so much. I try to make animations that celebrate his poetic lyrics full of imagery, that present a sense of fun ! So glad you enjoyed it !

I'm so happy you are still doing these, i think syd would've loved these

[@SteveBobinskiSJB]

Thanks ! I'm so glad you enjoyed them. That means a lot. If Syd loved them I would truly be honored. And I'm so glad that you and others enjoy them. It makes it all worthwhile that I can share my love of Syd with everyone.

[@EtherealEmperor]

@@SteveBobinskiSJB I love the way as your animations have progressed you include the colorful characters from the other wonderful songs from piper! Have you considered animating Arnold Layne? It’s one of my favorites, always sing it at karaoke lol
