Syd Barrett hil da

Egunero, ia-ia eguneko une bakoitzean musika bat izaten dugu buruan bueltaka. Batzuetan melodia kutreak izan ohi dira eta, Vaya semanita-n esaten zuten moduan, alukeria izaten da PPren sintonia, Koalaren Opá edo Amo a Laura modukoak eskapatzen zaizkigunean, burutik ahorako bidea eginda.

Beste batzuetan, ordea, musika onak izan ohi dira, musikari ona aipatu digutelako edo ikusi dugulako. Bart, Donostiatik bueltan, ezagutzen zailak ziren Dylan-en kantu desitxuratuak baino, Mikel Laboaren Orduan izan nuen buruan, etxerako bidean… Andonik furgonetako loroan Led Zeppelin jarri zuen arte. Izan ere, kanta batek beste bat behar du buruko tokadiskoan ordezkatua izateko. Gaur jakin dut Syd Barrett hil dela eta berehala Bike kantak hartu du bere lekua buru barruko tocatan. Hemen entzun (eskumako jogailuan) eta irakur dezakezue psikodelia hutseko pieza bikaina…

I’ve got a bike,
You can ride it if you like
It’s got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I’ve got a cloak it’s a bit of a joke
There’s a tear up the front it’s red and black
I’ve had it for months
If you think it could look good then I guess it should

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I know a mouse and he hasn’t got a house
I don’t know why I call him Gerald
He’s getting rather old but he’s a good mouse

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I’ve got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they’re on the dish

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I know a room of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork

Let’s go into the other room and make them work

Syd Barrett-ek idatzia 1967an, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn diskoan argitaratua.
