Golden hair

21/8/2016

 
Picture
Syd Barret wrote the musical arrangements of this lyrics when he was 15. The lyrics are originally from a poem in "Chamber Music" by James Joyce (1907). Initially the song was thought as a part of the album "The piper at the gates of down" by Pink Floyd, but it wasn't so because it was too different from the rest of the songs. So it appeared only later in the Syd Barret album "A madcap laughs"
You can listen the song here

Lean out your window, golden hair 
I heard you singing in the midnight air 
my book is closed, I read no more 
watching the fire dance, on the floor 
I've left my book, I've left my room 

For I heard you singing through the gloom 
singing and singing, a merry air 
lean out the window, golden hair...

    A general blog, but still personal. The name as a tribute (my tiny, personal one) to the Crimson King. No specific matter, no specific path or target to be followed or reached.  A space where to collect events, ideas, perspectives coming from the world around, but still under my own control.
