Remember when you were young
Умер Сид Баррет, один из основателей "Pink Floyd", покинувший группу вскоре после выхода их первого альбома. В 1975 году соратники посвятили ему "Wish You Were Here" («Хотим, чтобы ты был здесь»).
"Wish You Were Here" мы впервые услышали на дне рожденья нашего друга и одноклассника Лешки, видимо, в 1976-м. Пока музыка не дозвучала до конца, все сидели или валялись на полу в завороженном оцепенении. Если говорить чисто субъективно, "Wish" для меня всегда был и остается самым суггестивным и безупречным по сведению всех элементов альбомом в истории рок-музыки. Хотя знаю каждую ноту, привез с собой в Москву из дома и до сих пор охотно слушаю.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph, and sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
