Candy and a Currant Bun
Here I Go
Vedgetable Man

What's the one that goes "I stood very still by the window sill and I wondered for those I love still"? That is such a cool image of Syd. I can just picture him on a rainy day staring out the window with those deep eyes. Anyway, that song too.

I love it! especially the Peel session version!

That song is to Syd's solo career what Bike is to Pink Floyd.

See Emily Play... I named my 3rd daughter Emily, in honour of Syd. (I almost named her Sydney, but her dad wanted Emily, as he is a huge Dickinson fan...)

There are quite a few I am fond of as many expressed... I would say though, hat while the general consenses seems to be Chapter 24 is not a strong Syd song, I do happen to like it... Based on the I Ching the lyrics are pullled from the Wilhelm translation of the Chinese Classsic...
