“Shine On You Crazy Diamond” was written about Syd Barrett (his nickname SYD is directly referenced in the title’s initials), one of the original band members. Barrett departed the band after the release of their first record, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, due to his fragile mental state (made worse by his casual usage of LSD), and replaced by David Gilmour. Barrett always remained a source of inspiration. In fact, after many years of no contact with any of the band members, Barrett randomly walked into the studio with a shaved head during the recording sessions of this song. Roger Waters, his childhood friend, didn’t even recognize him at first. After about forty-five minutes, he broke down in tears in distress when he realised this stranger was his old friend. -------- A Trippy Vortex animated interpretation of the Pink Floyd song “Shine On You Crazy Diamond“ (Parts I–V) - (AI Music Video) (AI “Generated“ ) If you are interested in enjoying the rest of the WYWH album Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:30 Drifting peacefully through the colorful nebulas 01:13 Saucer Morphing 01:45 Astronaut Morphing 02:00 Space Apes pondering their existence as they drift peacefully 03:05 Lion Astronauts navigate into the expansive void 03:53 Lions depart dimensions as the chords strike 04:28 Beat drops us into the sloth dimension 04:45 Creating worlds with each brush stroke 05:52 Syd morphs into his spirit animal - dark fantasy space sloths 06:14 Happy space sloths 06:25 A melodic perspective from the sloths mind 06:58 The traveling Lion band intermission 07:34 The Guitar rips into the lions den - Oh my 08:36 Baby Lions reminiscing atop pride rock 09:00 A red glow from the evil lion 09:13 Diamond Sun Lion 09:25 Lion chaos unfolding at the creation event 09:41 The outcasted lion panthers 10:00 Majestic Lion Gods - Keepers of knowledge 10:12 Return of the Lion Astronauts! 10:27 The light shines from within 10:47 Outcasted lions flying their kites 11:03 Farewell lion astronauts 11:24 Saxophone medley by the sea 13:05 To be continued.......
