"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Rick Wright. It appeared on Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here.
The song was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to their former band member Syd Barrett, a founding member of Pink Floyd.
Barrett was ousted from the band by the other members in 1968 due to his drug use and (partly-related) troubled mental health, which had affected his ability to integrate with the rest of the band and perform and create as a musician. He was replaced by David Gilmour, Barrett's former school friend who had initially been brought in as second guitar. The remaining band members felt guilty for removing him, but they viewed it as necessary, admiring Barrett's creativity and being concerned about his severe mental decline.
Barrett incident
Syd Barrett, visiting Abbey Road Studios on 5 June 1975
One day during recording, Barrett (now heavyset, with a completely shaved head and eyebrows) wandered into the studio (although Mason has since stated that he is not entirely certain whether "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was the particular work being recorded when Barrett was there). Because of his drastically changed appearance, the band did not recognize him for some time. When they eventually determined the withdrawn man in the corner was Barrett, Roger Waters became so distressed about Barrett's appearance he was reduced to tears.[6] Someone asked to play the suite again for Barrett and he said a second playback was not needed when they had just heard it. When asked what he thought of the song, Barrett said it sounded a "bit old".

I can't believe I have enjoyed Pink Floyd for 50 years. Their music still goes right to my soul and is still as wonderful as it was when I first listened to them in the 70's.

My little brother passed away last month, quite unexpectedly....Today would have been his 60th birthday...Shine on Barry, shine on.

As a school kid in England in the 70s, freezing cold and dark winter mornings, I’d stick headphones on and listen to this, really loud, each day, as I got dressed in front of the heater before getting on my pushbike to deliver newspapers before heading to school. I swear it was the thing that got me going every day... and now, 45 years later, it’s still amazing, and never boring ! The definition of a masterpiece

[galiprifat]

This isn't really a song you listen to, this is a song you feel every note❤️❤️❤️

[MyTentLife]

I’ve listened to Pink Floyd for over 50 years and all the rock back then was heavy and cool. I loved all rock back in the day but Shine on you crazy Diamond is by far my favorite. I did then and still to this day put my headphones on and crank this song up and I forget about about life’s troubles and I get lost in the music. Love you guys and may Pink Floyd love forever.

I listen to this song at least once a day .
It’s part of what keeps me sane

[coreyandthecrew]

their music is absolutely timeless, so powerful and relevant across the time continuum

[georgwoeber]

in 45 years i’ve listened to this song for sure several 1000 times.
and i still can’t get tired of it.
it sparks all my senses in the same way like back then, when i was a young boy.
there’s nothing better than this.
closely followed by echoes ....

The best concert I've ever had the honor to see, you see I was there and we were partying, it was a feeling of being free, the music was the best, there were speakers set up to left, right, behind and to the front...the light show was phenomenal-it appeared Pink Floyd was in a crystal ball, with the Chicago skyline in the background-amazing. There was nowhere to sit, the stairways were jam packed, most of all everyone got along...I was young and free. The finale-after the fireworks, they played Money and Breathe from Dark side of the Moon. If I recall about 70, 000 people. By far the best concert I've ever seen with friends ever.
