In principle, the underlying theme of the song is the loss of Syd, the friend, and founder, the mad genius, the musician, the painter …, the one who one fine day they decided to leave because he was ruining their future as a band with its extravagances and outbursts produced by LSD and incipient mental illness; but there is more, and it is that Waters had already become the great lyricist that the band needed.
The magic of the song is rounded by many parts, but one of them has become a legend for Pink Floyd fans. For many years, we have liked to believe that Syd appeared there mysteriously, as if on an invisible call, but that the truth is somewhat more prosaic: in those days David married his first wife, Ginger, and told Syd to stop by the studies for a drink.
It is true, that everyone was surprised by his abandoned appearance and did not recognize him at first, but the truth is that he did not appear by magic, he had simply been invited by his great friend David Gilmour. Beyond the personal tastes that one may have, it is clear that there are several songs that are above the others and that they have to enter yes or yes in this report of perfect songs.
Well, this is another. Few compositions have such a raw sensitivity, such as heartbreaking lyrics, and a universe of images and sounds like this one. This is music in capital letters. This ends with the synth pad fading into the background. Part II Gilmour, Waters, Wright; from — begins with a 4 note theme repeated through the entire section.
This includes a 2nd solo by Gilmour. Mason starts drumming after the 4th playing of the 4 note theme. This is referred to as Syd's Theme. This includes a 3rd Gilmour guitar solo. Part V Waters, from — has 2 guitars repeating a riff for a minute. A baritone sax overlays the sounds, played by Dick Parry.
It ends as the sax changes from a baritone sax to a tenor sax. The sax solo is accompanied by an ARP string synth keyboard sound. A machine-like hum slowly fades in from right to left as the saxophone gradually becomes more distant and this segues into "Welcome To The Machine". Credits Chronology.
