PINK & FLOYD

Todavía con Syd Barrett

PINK FLOYD

El nombre proviene de unir los nombres de pila de dos bluseros de Georgia: Pink Anderson y Floyd Council. La pasión de Syd Barrett por los blues decidió el nombre de la banda.

Inicialmente, el grupo estaba formado por el guitarrista Bob Klose (que abandonaría el grupo), el batería Nick Mason, el teclista y vocalista Richard Wright, el guitarra rítmico y vocalista principal Roger Waters, aunque cambiará la guitarra por el bajo, y el guitarrista rítmico y vocalista principal Syd Barrett, quien se convirtió en el primer líder de la banda. Sin embargo, el extraño comportamiento de este último, causado por el excesivo consumo de drogas, especialmente LSD, hizo que fuera sustituido en 1968 por David Gilmour.

WISH YOU WERE HERE

1975

(DEDICADO A SYD BARRETT)

 

  

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG

YOU SHONE LIKE THE SUN

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

NOW THERE´S A LOOK IN YOUR EYES

LIKE BLACK HOLES IN THE SKY

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

YOU WERE CAUGHT IN THE CROSS FIRE

OF CHILDHOOD AND STARDOM

BLOWN ON THE STEEL BREEZE

COME ON YOU TARGET FOR FARAWAY LAUGHTER

COME ON YOU STRANGER,YOU LEGEND,YOU MARTYR

AND SHINE

YOU REACHED FOR THE SECRET TOO SOON

AND YOU CRIED FOR THE MOON

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

THREATENED BY SHADOWS AT NIGHT

AND EXPOSED IN THE LIGHT

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

WELL YOU WORE OUT YOUR WELCOME

WITH RANDOM PRECISION

RODE ON THE STEEL BREEZE

COME ON YOU RAVER, YOU SEER OF VISIONS

COME ON YOU PAINTER, YOU PIPER, YOU PRISIONER

AND SHINE

DAVID GILMOUR / WISH YOU WERE HERE / ACÚSTICO

SO, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL

HEAVEN FROM HELL

BLUE SKIES FROM PAIN

CAN YOU TELL A GREEN FIELD

FROM A COLD STEEL RAIL

A SMILE FROM A VEIL

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL

AND DID THEY GET TOU TO TRADE

YOUR HEROS FOR GHOSTS

HOT ASHES FOR TREES

HOT AIR FOR A COOL BREEZE

COLD COMFORT FOR CHANGE

AND DID YOU EXCHANGE

A WALK FOR A PART IN THE WAR

FOR A LEAD ROLE IN A CAGE

HOW I WISH, HOW I WISH YOU WERE HERE

WE´RE JUST TWO LOST SOULS

SWIMMINGIN A FISH BOW

YEAR AFTER YEAR

RUNNING OVER THE

SAME OLD GROUND

WHAT HAVE WE FOUND

THE SAME OLD FEARS

WISH YOU WERE HERE
