KARTA PRACY UCZNIA – Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett (Top Musicians 4)

GROUP 1

Ex.1 Read the part of the Pink Floyd’s story. Then match the words highlighted in the text with their definitions.

Brilliant, charismatic and mysterious – Syd Barrett formed Pink Floyd in 1965. He was the group’s original singer, song writer and guitarist. His descent into madness inspired Pink Floyd’s most hunting songs.

Roger Waters (in Pink Floyd from 1965 to 1985): “When I’m singing, you know, Shine on you, Syd is right there, obviously. Because this song is just absolutely about him. It’s a really good song. It describes how I experienced his disintegration. And it describes as well the great desire I had then and still have now, and the passion I have to celebrate him and his talent and his humanity. And to express the love I have for him”.

Remember when you when young, you shined like the sun… shine on you crazy diamond…

Nick Mason: “Someone said to me: <Do you know who that is?>. I had to say <No>. And he said <Syd>. And it really took me a moment to recognize him because that was a completely changed and different person.

You reached for the secret too soon. You cried for the moon…

We all still really miss him. My memory him, my head of Syd is what he was like before he went crazy. I haven’t seen him grow up. He was 24-years old so my memories of Syd are very warm if I think of how he was before”.

David Gilmour: “He was physically beautiful, weedy, funny. The way he talked, the way he walked… I don’t want make this sound like a love song, but he was much loved by pretty much everyone around him”.

Sid Barrett was born in Cambridge, the university town, 60 miles from London. One of Sid’s childhood friends was Roger Waters.

Roger Waters: “First time I met Syd it was at a Saturday morning art class in Cambridge, when, I suppose, I was nine or ten an he was eight or nine. We became close when we were teenagers. We were talking about smoking blow but not doing it”.

Another friend was Bob Klose. He and Syd would get together and play guitar after school.

Bob Klose (Pink Ployd 1965): “We played guitars for hours. He was a great guitar player with a terrific sense of time”.

Roger Waters: “We always had this notion that when we hit London (it was clear that he was gonna come up to London as well, ‘cause London was a mecca and that was where we wanted to be) we would start a band together. And that’s what happened. By the time we arrived, Bob was already playing with few other people so we kind of joined in”.

GROUP 2

Ex.1 Read the part of the Pink Floyd’s story. Then match the words highlighted in the text with their definitions.

Syd named the band Pink Floyd after the two obscure bluesmen, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Bob Klose played lead guitar but he left the band shortly after recording Syd’s song Lucy Leave as a demo tape.

The light techniques, they’re using now, are the result of five-year research by an architect, Mike Blinnard, who worked on his new light projector.

Roger Waters: “He wanted some improvised music around the experiment he was doing with light. He had projectors and things and he would rope up tubes and crinkle them to see what happened when they hit the wall. And we would play music to it.

When Syd started writing, that changed everything. Because, of course, we all did not know what he was coming up with“.

In 1966 London was swinging. It was a new underground scene emerging in Pink Floyd started to become famous and give many concerts. Soon they were looking for a manager.

Peter Jenner (Pink Floyd manager 1966-1968): “Syd was the main man. The definition of a main man is the person who other sings or plays the lead guitar. And Syd did both, so he was obviously the main man.

Arnold Layne was the song that so impressed the EMI that they released it as a single”.

(4)

David Gilmour: “About three on four months later, Syd was a changed person. And I’m not sure how much the rest of the band could see it”.

Syd Barrett’s experimentation with psychedelic drugs influenced the distinctive sound of the early Pink Floyd. But in the very moment the band ran the way to stardom, drugs began to destroy him.

In February 1967 Pink Floyd signed with EMI and released their first single, Arnold Layne.

But there were already the signs that things were not well with the leader, whose music was applauded for its originality. The unpredictability, together with the simplicity made that music so special.

The Pink Floyd sound was associated in many people’s minds with psychedelic drugs.

Roger Waters: “I wasn’t doing any drugs at all, but for alcohol. And Syd was, I think, quite a lot. Sid had been experimenting with psychedelic drugs since his days in Cambridge.

There was absolutely no doubt that these things were very bad for Syd. And there is no doubt that Syd was schizophrenic and that he was taking those drugs at the same time“.

By May 1967 frequent use of LSD was taking its toll on Syd Barrett. See Emily Play as the Pink Floyd’s most successful single so far. By in the time it was released, Syd was clearly in a bad way.

Roger Wright: “We were recoding a radio show. And Syd didn’t turn up. I think it was on Friday. When they found Syd, which I think was on Sunday on Monday, they told us that something had happened to Syd. He took too much. I mean, he was still looking the same, but he was somewhere else“.

One of Syd’s oldest friends was guitarist, David Gilmour. David attended on recording of See Emily Play in June 1967. He hadn’t seen Syd for several months. And he was shocked.

David Gilmour: “Syd was a changed person. He didn’t appear to recognise me at first, so he stared right through me. It was a big shock. Coming back to it, I could see that the major change you could see when you had been absent for a while. And I’m not sure they did.

Because if you ask them about it, they tend to think, it came round later. And when you’re in that daily contact, you don’t necessarily see it”.

GROUP 3

Ex.1 Read the part of the Pink Floyd’s story. Then match the words highlighted in the text with their definitions.

By October 1967 the change in Syd that David Gilmour had noticed, was becoming obvious to everyone. Syd’s mental state was threatening to undermine everything that band had achieved. Pink Floyd had to choose between their leader and their future.

In October 1967 Pink Floyd started their first American tour. The behaviour of their leader, Syd Barrett, was becoming increasingly bizarre.

Pink Floyd’s next attempt to the single, written and sang by Syd, Vegetable Man, was never released. In spite of Syd’s problems, the band continued their tour across Britain with Jimi Hendrix on the move.

Syd’s mental state caused the rest of the band to call Syd’s old friend, David Gilmour to come and rescue.

David Gilmour: “They made a specific offer, which, obviously, was the start of a very difficult and strange time with both, Syd and I, turning up together to rehearsals. And doing shows with five of us. I would be learning and playing Syd’s parts and singing Syd’s songs. And Syd would be standing there and sometimes singing a little bit, sometimes playing a little bit. Very odd”.

In early 1968 David Gilmour officially replaced his childhood friend, Syd Barrett as the lead guitarist in Pink Floyd. The other members of the band started to write songs.

After leaving a band in 1968, Syd Barrett was struggling the state of float on a steady dying of drugs. He continued writing songs and recorded two solo albums. Then came back to Cambridge.

Dark Side of the Moon, the next Pink Floyd album, became one of the biggest selling records ever and turned them from the cult band to a phenomenon. Few of the Floyd’s fans knew the tragic story of the band’s history and that many of their songs were written about their lost leader.

After the worldwide success of Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you were here, Pink Floyd produced The Wall, largely the work of Roger Walters. The album and the single were

(6)

smash hits. All personal problems in the band were becoming more dominant. Roger was becoming more dominant. It was less easy to argue and the music had to stand on its own.

In 1978 Syd Barrett left London for the lat time and walked back to Cambridge. His period of intense creativity with Pink Floyd lasted only two years.

Roger Walters, thanks to whom the band achieved the worldwide success, left Pink Floyd in 1995 and now persists his solo career.

Shortly afterwards the three of remaining members reformed the Pink Floyd with David Gilmour as their leader.

Sid Barrett has remained in Cambridge, where he has lived quietly ever since.
