Song of the Day (Jan. 5th): Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, parts 1 through 9 which combine for the longest song ever released by Pink Floyd. It’s 26 mins of pure artistry and perfection. It’s also Pink Floyd’s tribute to their former band leader Syd Barrett who had went off the deep end, mostly due to drugs, after the bands first album in 1968. The song is actually split up into parts 1-5 to start the album Wish You Were Here and parts 6-9 finish off the album.

This is for people who have always wanted to listen (or download) Shine On You Crazy Diamond in full. All nine parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, which is one of the greatest pieces of music made. This composition was a tribute to former band member, Syd Barrett.
