65 - Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd Mandela Effect - Did Not OD in 1968 - Died 2006
SYD BARRETT OF PINK FLOYD - MANDELA EFFECT ( fyi... this is the song I was trying to remember Baby, I Love Your Way: https://youtu.be/h6vpdMhkenY ) What makes more sense... A 1975 tribute song for Syd, called "Shine on you Crazy Diamond", for kicking him out of the band... or for his death from overdosing and drowning in his pool? Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (6 January 1946 – 7 July 2006) was an English singer, songwriter, and musician who co-founded the rock band Pink Floyd in 1965. Barrett was ousted (drown in another timeline) from the band by the other members in 1968. The song, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to their former band member Syd Barrett, a founding member of Pink Floyd. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shine_On_You_Crazy_Diamond LYRICS FOR SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND 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 shadow Of yesterday's triumph And sail on the steel breeze Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, Come on you miner for truth and delusion, And shine.
