An off-kilter song for off-kilter lovers, and exhibit A for the case that Barretts self-destruction, accidental or not, was a major tragedy for rock, as it was of course to the band itself.

You cant analyze rock too much, of course, but the song does continue the records sense of dualities personal choice, the effects on the world of the choices we do make, and a cautious optimism, nicely punctured by the quiet words as the thing ends. Barrett fans incessantly point to this and See Emily Play as evidence of Barretts pop brilliance, but again I think they are confusing genius with promise. You can learn a lot more about the rock-star condition and have a lot more fun with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, not to mention Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.

A nice tune by Richard Wright, apparently about a groupie, also has the sweet melodic feel of an early-70s one-hit wonder, though one-hit wonders are generally economically arranged and produced well, and this is an early Pink Floyd track, so neither of those two things are true.

(Confidential to Roger W.: Constructions like Take heed went out with Keats.) Its possibly the bands most Spinal Tapy moment. It was a watershed moment in the groups career: Bassist Roger Waters, whose expanding vision and growing songwriting talents had given the band The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall, had become (by all accounts including his own) a hellacious asshole hed even insisted that the band fire its original keyboardist, Richard Wright, during the recording of The Wall.

And the noodling isnt that good. All that said, Gilmour himself had no business creating a Pink Floyd album on his own and it was on his own, because, once the album got underway, it was plain that Mason couldnt even drum any more. The treble control adjusts the high-end frequencies and affects how bright, crisp and clear the tone is. Its just a cow.
