Yes, We Miss You

With today’s track, you may find I’m kinda Floyd- or Barrett-obsessed, and you may not be totally wrong. But hey, what can I do? So, after being fired by his mates in 1968, the stoned Roger “Syd” Barrett soon came back to Abbey Road studios to record some stoned songs. His first solo release, “The Madcap Laughs”, came out two years later, in January 1970. It’s incredibly strange and chaotic, with nonsensical lyrics and (very, very) weird melodies but after all, we’re talking about a guy who was totally crazy. So, here comes “Here I Go”, a little song “kinda catchy”, as Barrett says himself. Hope you enjoy it. [See post to listen to audio] Syd Barrett - Here I go
