- Syd Barrett "Gigolo Aunt" album "Barrett" 1970
Grooving around in a trench coat
with the satin entrail
Seems to be all around in tin and lead pail, we pale
Jiving on down to the beach
to see the blue and the gray
seems to be all and it's rosy-it's a beautiful day!
Will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt!
Yes I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt!
Heading down with the light, the dust in your way
she was angrier than, than her watershell male
life to this love to me - heading me down to me
thunderbird shale
seems to be all and it's rosy - it's a beautiful day!
will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt
Grooving on down in a knapsack superlative day
some wish she move and just as she can move jiving away
she made the scene should have been-superlative day
everything's all and it's rosy, it's a beautiful day
will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt... - Hudba
Barrett's lead guitar playing on this number is very impressive. Superb phrasing and a great deal of subtle detail.
Really fucking liking this, the deeper I dig into Syd's work and story the more impressed, confused and amazed I am
+Vlad Shevchenko so happy there are others who appreciate it
+Vlad Shevchenko If you like Syd Barrett and his remarkable story, check out Roky Erickson and his band, the 13th Floor Elevators...very similar story
party till you puke
Vlad Shevchenko same here.
my opinion is that that Syd was the Greatest songwriter of all time... .no one can touch him.....
This is my favorite Syd
track. I could play this on a loop for a week
Real
En un viaje que tuve con lsd puse en bucle esta canción durante un par de horas, fue un buen viaje.
Indeed !
Syd was such a great songwriter. Gilmour said it was almost frightening how good he was at writing songs. The lyrics just seemed to pour out of him.
them rich seeing syd out
@steven Brunton 😍
Only ones close to that level were John, Paul, and George
@@treyrulz555when someone says something this idiotic you just can't help but laugh
Those guys suck
I can't help but instantly smile a bit as soon as this song starts, RIP Syd, thanks brother.
This was the one “live” group recording during the Barrett sessions. Helped by the sympathetic backing and some exquisite background keyboard sounds. Probably his best post Floyd recording.
This song is such a vibe. Love it!
One of the most underrated guitarists ever.

This song has one of my favorite solos of all time. I also remember being incredibly stoned and listening to one of the solos from Piper and thinking “how the hell is he doing that?”
Incredibly inventive. That intro is like something out of Heaven.
Thats for sure ..he has his own 🌸signature sound & stands the test of time .its a gorgeous romantic🌻 haunting reflection of his soul💗
totally
This is a masterpiece, Syd's lyrics and arrangements are absolutely brilliant and some of the most original you will ever find in all of rock and folk music.
A genuine, unique talent.....sadly missed..
My God the guitar work! So fresh, original and innovative sound!
Should have been a hit, i love it still, great summer day song.
I bought this album nearly 50 years ago. Yup, I'm that old.
His lyrics were childlike yet so profound.
Barrett was a genius... This entire song is about to fall apart, but it hangs as a brilliant testimony to his writing.
It was the LSD that made him a genius.
LSD doesn't make anyone geniuses. You'll find more LSD bums that never did anything with their lives than you'll find "geniuses" made so by LSD. All LSD does is stimulate the imagination a mind already has to work with. That's why one songwriter will take LSD and come up with "The End" (The Doors), another will take it and come up with "Slip Inside This House" (13th Floor Elevators), and another will come up with "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I am the Walrus" (The Beatles) and Syd will come up with Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive, See Emily Play and Bike. Same with the adverse effect of LSD when it comes to it's casualties, one will fall into a mental hell of devils and demons because they grew up in Southern Christian environment (Roky Erickson) and someone like Syd will just regress to a reclusive, revisited permanent childhood in his mother's basement. It doesn't make anyone smarter, or plant ideas into someone's head out of the ether, it just opens the flood glates of someone's own imagination, that's it.
@@edcollins9377 have you even took lsd with that stupid comment i think not
True
Tru
This is 50 years old. Time flies...
Hot guitar licks, love the carnival organ effects.
Syd Barrett. ...the first man in space.....without a spaceship !
🤣😂
One of the best songs ever made.
So ahead of his time, and copied by so many...Syd Barrett forever treasured and missed!
I love Syd he's my favorite guitarist and probably even musician over all. But If there's is one thing I have to admit is this wasn't "ahead of his time." It was according to the times. Even around 1966 this music was already out there. But an incredible amazing tune either way. Syd just puts together a style that 6obody has!
My reference to Syd Barrett was overall, not this or any particular piece of music, being ahead of his time.
+jjjb9098 I wouldn't say he was ahead of his time. I'd say he was exactly of his time. What made Syd special is he was so damn innovative. No one could match his pure creativity and innovation. He was a completely unique individual who's music matched that.
+Leajiaure Yes but he could be on Domino. Still fresh unlike the unburned corpses of his erstwhile bandages.
Leajiaure I agree with you. Gilmour talks about the band's jamming session of Wish You Were Here with Syd. After listening to the whole session with a tooth brush in his hand, Waters asked Syd how he felt about it.
Syd said,
"It seems a little old...!"
He was that updated!
With every uncovered gem of Syd's I discover I feel like I've found yet another artifact of a previous civilization that existed. Such original sound and outstanding lyrics as usual.
What a wonderful and elegant British accent!
Listen to "Lucy Leave", the first thing he ever recorded. He sounds like a cornbred Murrican...
Compared to a poor British accent which you wouldn't be able to understand, you mean to say.
@@paulsavage5057 what would you mean, hey guy?
Yes, I agree. I have always felt he has a wonderfully posh Cambridge accent.
This is it man. So care free it's more than just a song it's a feeling.
It's more than a feeling
Yup...you put it right...this song is really a feeling...if a feeling!!
It's mandatory on any Barret or Floyd video to say someone is underrated.
What a guitar with distortion!
Genius Syd!
But, is Syd that plays electric guitar?
🤔
@@parmec1875 yes
since,1979 and still listing to syd.
awesome solos by one of the greatest guitarists i know, Syd Barret...
grooving around in a trenchcoat w/ a satin entrail..that just kills me. this guy was a superior songwriter. & we shall never see his like again! end of line.......
Ben Scarlett well said
Yep....
Google Magog bromine chamber, greater greatness is always coming. Some of us prefer to live to the end.
Well, there is Robyn Hitchcock!
:)
This song is awesome
Masterful song craft. Great guitar too.
Syd was poetic and put an artistic visual into his lyrics and his instrumentals were also part of his artistic brilliance. What he sees is what he writes.
Probably my favorite solo Syd song.
Ping Floyd my favorite is baby lemonade
For me, it's either "Octopus" or "Late Night." This and "Baby Lemonade" are up there, too.
Mine too. No words to describe how much this rocks! At 3:45 and that last minute or so of him playing that guitar.. wow.
I adore "Here I Go". It's my favorite song by anybody. I have a holy trinity. It's Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Syd. I hope you can guess which is which. ;)
This one of the songs I put on when I wake up in the morning ! Idk ... it completely changes my day 💕
An irreplaceable one of a kind musical genius.
The important thing for Syd was to write good songs. You can daydream with her music, it carried you away and created a new world. The success of this album (even more than the previous one) stems from the excellent balance between sound exploration and an obvious skill in writing texts !
HIS MUSIC.
Grooving around in a trench coat with the satin entrail.............. point in case.......... Barrett greatest songwriter of all time... period.
so much space in Syd's songs, so many spaces, it feels so alive. Perfect!
Love the guitar work.
what an awesome song
The keyboards, man! Probably played by Richard Wright!
Yes that was Richard Wright, and David Gilmour on bass
@@kristenlanum indeed!
Come può un uomo che sta male... mandato via dai Pink floyd... scrivere un capolavoro cosi grande? Semplice...
NON STA MALE..!Forever Syd
1970... Simply out of this world
Been singing this song in my head at work all day lol
It’s my go too walking song
Yay finally! a Syd Barret song i like!
A big band was far better than him?!
The bass is so groovy and funky.
le sonorità(il soggetto),il ritmo(i tratti disegnati),le emozioni(il colore):arte inarrivabile.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful
I wonder what it could have been like if Syd Barrett and Jim Morrison got together and created some stuff together .
Brilliant chaos
It would been two overrated artist doing overrated music . But I do like this song .
@@guitarhole Syd barret personified the mad genius and Jim Morrison personified rebellious rockstar.
@@guitarhole how was Syd Barrett overrated? He formed one of the most influential bands in rock history.
Christ. Imagine if they made out??
Great music, great rhythm, great talent.
Nice Valknut there my Friend
if he never left floyd they would be one of my favorite bands. but this way i was always put off by them despite liking some songs because of the constant underlying feelings of emptiness and absence that i got from in their most famous work and artwork, now i know it’s because syd was gone, but it’s so strongly felt. I fewl like if he stayed sane they would have been so much greater.
With Dave Gilmour on bass & Rick Wright on keyboards, this could’ve been a Pink Floyd song.
Three fifths
no.
David Gilmour on bass 😆
It should have been
Oh i,m trippig m.j. and this song 😍
Syd makes the guitar sound like a trumpet its up lifting and entertaining lyrics
uplifting? fucking Amazing is what it is
You'd probably find it was David Gilmour doing the lead.
Syd way better guitar player Dave can only play blues so probably not is ur answer Dave guitar could never get him a record deal Dave's is nothing with out Barrett Dave who
Ur on the right track listen and learn from Mr Floyd him self the only member in Floyd that matters just ask David bowie
That's just a stupid comment with no substance. David is a far superior guitar player to Syd, and I'm not saying Syd wasn't great but not quite in the same league as Gilmour. It was David and Rick who produced the album and made the songs work. They added a lot of work to the songs. If you listen to Syd's first album Madcap Laughs (also produced by David but that time with Roger Waters) it was less produced and more raw but still great. But these two albums wouldn't have worked without the help of David, Roger and Rick being on hand. Syd was not stable at the time and was hell to work with and very hard to get anything done. But he was their friend and they wanted to help him.
I adore this song -- it's quite lighthearted. Very nice song, and well produced. Carefree sounding. Though long, it doesn't drag at all.
I wish the break carried on a little longer but you’re totally correct
this and love you by syd have to be my 2 favs
2:15 - 3:00 the best ever guitar sound by syd imo. The sound of that guitar is just something else, I think this song is so underrated
I agree! and about 4:43, Wow. I think this song would be popular today to millions!
The intro has always gotten me... dunno why..
Syd was really clever at playing the guitar!
1962 Fender Esquire
@@RobXHEphotosPs37.29 this album was recorded on a black tele
Brilliant outro
Very cool!!!
Wow! Just. Wow!
Always Brings me Back To Earth This ONE!
the best , hands down !
Been listing to rock since I was 7 and now at 58 I only just heard this and I’m thinking what the hell !! this better than any of the other Floyd stuff dam!!
Love me some Syd!
He could've easily been Pink Floyd's Robert Hunter or Brian Wilson. Sad what happened to him.
I must have listened to this great so many times. It only gets better each time. Absolutely brilliant, I love it, I truly do.
👍🍻
Wonderful song.Makes me happy.It's a beautiful day.
So catchy!
Watershell male...Thunderbird shale. Damn!!
El trabajo solitario de syd es una joya única que pocos tenemos el privilegio de conocer. Me transportas a otros universos en los que soy más feliz, gracias barret fuiste y sos el mejor.
no one bad song in this album!
exactly, it is perfect.
The clean solos sound like a kid just picked up a guitar and started playing it, it has such a pure Innocent vibe.
Brilliantly composed song...GODDAM!!
Here bashing my brains wondering why this wasn't a big hit back on its day. Mad mad world...
I have exactly the same question, this song sounds like it should've been a huge hit back then..wondering why is that it wasn't...
Too eccentric for even today. Syd stopped trying to be commercial after Apples and Oranges flopped.
it seems like a totally normal cool song to me, but I understand some people just wouldn't get the lyrics
his exit from pink fLoyd pissed a Lot of 'industry' off
Because it's too childish, like everything he did.
The drum sound is so good on this
My love syd we love you man me and my bro have loved you since early floyd
Thanking you kindly!
I wish I got to meet the dude syd I'll keep u in my prayers shine on man
RIP SYD MAN.
I think Syd did some of his best work after he left Floyd. This is a good example.
Exactly, his solo work shouldn’t be overlooked, sonically he explored cool sounds over both albums, with the lyrics being really second to none
I Love You Syd! So much!!!
السيد باريت ارقد بسلام, العقلية البريطانية الموسيقية لا مثيل لها ❤️
Syd Barrett R.I.P ،The British musical mentality is unparalleled. ❤️
Cambridge Legend....... RIP SYD......:)

Gigalo. Aunt is so unique and trippy sounding 50 yrs later ,and I still love to listen to it over and over .an rather loud to ...now some one tell us all what is a gigolo aunt ,anyway.?????? Edited 10/ 9 / 18 ........
Syd was so influential to Pink Floyd that over half the songs they wrote after he left the band were about him. If that isnt a tribute to his influence on the band i do not know what is.
The album Wish You Were Here was about Roger Keith (Syd) Barrett
@@barrygreenstein8383 A fitting, beautiful tribute that Syd himself came to visit the recording of
@@guymadgesam24 I read an article (I forgot what magazine) that had a photo of a bald, overweight Syd visiting the studio. It said that Syd seemed very out of it and wasn't completely aware of where he was. According to the article the sight of Syd in such a zombie-like state brought Roger Waters to tears.
@@barrygreenstein8383 Yes sir and most notably "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Brain Damage". He actually had a mental disorder hense there being something wrong with his brain which Is why he left the band.
Probably my favorite song by Syd
On the Mark...Rosy it 's beautiful Day...
The higher you get, the more frightening this song becomes.
Huh huh, true dat.
Sí
This music makes drugs obsolete for me...
5:25, like the way the rhythm is just thrown out there on a platter
Loved Syd Barrett> Genius
Happy birthday, Syd!
Masterpiece
Who knew Dave Gilmour could lay down such a groovy bass line?
Seriously!
He played the bassline of Pigs as well
uhhhh so good
great tune thanks
And damn that bass
RIP Syd Barrett (Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett, 6/1/1946-7/7/2006)😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
im here 51 years later, happy aniversary crazy diamond!
This make me dance... :)
He still “had it” when this was recorded, helped out by David Gilmour and Rick Wright. The guitar sound especially in the break was outstanding. This definitely is a case of if only....
Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie on drums, there is a cool interview out with Jerry where he talks about these sessions, it's pretty interesting.
Thanks I’ll check the interview out. I’ve been fascinated by the Syd story since I was a teenager (my friends were all into punk at the time) and I’ve read books about him but can’t get enough of his story. Another casualty of the 60’s along with Peter Green, Brian Wilson etc.
Thanks for the heads up about the Jerry Shirley interview. He’s really interesting to listen to.
At the very core of all things "Rock music" you'll find Syd! Just starin' right back at cha! 👀
My favorite Barrett song
What a genius! And the guitar is beautiful, as long as he's playing it and not Gilmour. Wonderful arrangements, especially the keyboards...
