Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett(1946.1.6—2006.7.7)英国歌手,作曲者,吉他弹奏家,艺术家。他因缔造了Pink Floyd乐队而著称于世。Syd Barrett作为摇滚乐手在舞台上活跃了大约十年的时间,随后由于精神问题过起了隐居的生活,从此直到2006他死,在这30多年的时间里,他一直都未在公众露面。
Barrett创作了Pink Floyd乐队早期的绝大多数作品。同时他也是一位极具革新精神的吉他演奏家。他善于运用放大器随意地探寻音乐和声音的失衡,扭曲,制造出回声机、磁带和其他的效果。 Barrett一个标志性的演出之一就是通过一台老式回声机来弹奏吉他,同时用Zippo来回在吉他弦上滑动以创造出神秘,仿佛来世般的声音。这种演奏方式随后就融入了乐队之中。 Barrett将吉他演奏引入了一个新的方向。他随意的地毯式声音扫描为摇滚乐的吉他演奏开辟了一条新的道路。 Oh where are you now The poppy birds way
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please, lift a hand
I'm only a person whose armbands beat
On his hands, hang tall
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
Swing twigs coffee brands around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please, please lift the hand
I'm only a person with Eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain all the way...
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
