what has his music done for you

[moom]

i hope i dont die to old, i dont want to be a vegetable man

[The Crow Scare]

I only started listening to Syd's music at the start of this year. Since then I have started drawing portraits again (the first of
Syd himself). Has been along time, as lost alot of confidence in my creative abilites since art college 9 years ago. Also about to get guitar lessons, have not played since I was 17, now I'm 30.
So you can see his music has turned my life around, or back the way it was years ago, which ever way you want to look at it

He will continue to inspire me

[Swan lee]

His music touch my heart today as the first time I listened it. I'm sure this will be forever.

I went through a similar period myself but with music. I started writing and performing again for the first time in almost 10 years. I have decided to make it my career and am making a decent living from it now. Syd has been a good creative example for me as well and I have learned a lot from his music. It has taught me to not be so rigid and structured, but to break the rules every now and then, to rebel against conformity and create things that are uniquely beautiful.

Today I bought Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Unlike anything I have ever heard. I think what Syd is teaching us is to think, question everything.

[Duckboy]

So u a new fan then?

[Duckboy]

I have stricted rules for dying happy
I mean, I know what I need to do in my life to die happy, without fear.

but youre dying in itself will cause sadness for those around you, but if you didnt have people around you then it would be dificult to find hapiness in the first place

[EarthboundMisfit]

Syd's lyrics are cool. Simple and expressive; a great insight to the artist, himself... In honour of that, I named my 3rd daughter Emily... ( she's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams til tomorrow)

[Mustainez]

A brand new fan.

I love his solo career and his short career with Pink Floyd............to bad he got sick..............I wonder what good music he could have wrote if didn't get sick......I have a mental illness just like Syd only mines a lighter case.......a lot lighter.......

[snifferdog]

As a novice guitar player who's a far cry from David Gilmour, I find his songs are nice and easy to play.

[Duckboy]

A brand new fan.

thats good not alot of people get into pin kfloyd anymore although i think they are making a comeback

[Creek]

I first heard Pink Floyd with Syd when I was about 10. I have known since then that the rules of music and songwriting aren't carved in stone.

[heathenchemistry]

I find his solo work to be as excellent as his Pink Floyd contributions. It's hard to top 'Effervescing Elephant'

[Syd'sSexy]

It's hard to top 'Effervescing Elephant'

That's my least favourite solo Syd song (say that 10 times fast).

Oh well, to each his/her own. Welcome heathenchemistry!
