*awaits first person to use the 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' tribute with a lump of wood*

The Floyd were never as good without you, man.

Rest easy.

A great man and artist, I just take comfort in the fact that his music will not die with him.

I've got a bike....

Sad News.

A true eccentric and musical genius

Hopefully the media will be as unintrusive into his life now that he has passed away as he wished whilst he was alive.

R.I.P Syd

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 crossfire 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, 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 prisoner, and shine!

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers, and I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadows of yesterday's triumph, sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!


bye syd, pink floyd was better with you in the band (sorry h.f.b.s. )
