Shine on you crazy diamond

Sid Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd has now passed on. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was the first album of theirs, and he wrote many of the songs - and I spent many moments experiencing this recording in different states of mind. He was basically a mad genius, who may have already had some schizophrenic issues, and all the LSD he took combined with that generally drove him over the edge and he went into seclusion shortly after his success. The article I linked covers his life story for anyone interested. As a tribute, I am posting a love song he wrote from one of his solo albums - a song that Phish often covered when their drummer took the microphone - was always one of my favorites of his:

TERRAPIN

I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

I wouldn't see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all 'round the clown
is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
