Roger Keith Barrett, better known as Syd Barrett, was born in Cambridge, England on January 6, 1946. As a kid, he played piano, ukulele, banjo, and guitar. He also spent time writing and drawing, and he won awards for his poetry in high school.
Some stories say that he was given the nickname "Syd" around the age of 14 and that it refers to a local bass player named Sid Barrett. Others say he was given the nickname as a kid at scout camp.
As a teenager, Barrett formed a band, Geoff Mott and the Mottoes. In 1962, the band broke up, and Barrett began playing Beatles covers and writing his own songs. In 1964, he moved to London to study painting at the Camberwell College of Arts.

Barrett knew Roger Waters from his school days in Cambridge, and he reconnected with him when he moved to London. With Pink Floyd, he recorded four singles, their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967), portions of their second album A Saucerful of Secrets (1968), and several unreleased songs. In April 1968, Barrett was ousted from the band amid speculation of mental illness and his excessive use of psychedelic drugs.
Pink Floyd later sang a number of tributes to Barrett, including "Shine on You Crazy Diamond," a nine-part composition recorded on their Wish You Were Here album.

After leaving Pink Floyd, Barrett released two albums, both in 1970, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, but he played only one concert between 1968 and 1972. In 1988, EMI Records released the album Opel, which included previously unreleased music that Barrett had recorded from 1968 to 1970.
In 1996, Barrett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of Pink Floyd, but he did not attend the ceremony.

In 1978, Barrett moved in with his mother in Cambridge, and returned to painting. He also began to garden. He stayed out of the limelight, became annoyed when paparazzi snapped his picture and kept to himself, interacting mostly with his sister, Rosemary. Although he was hospitalized briefly, he was never officially diagnosed with a mental illness or medicated.
Barrett died of pancreatic cancer on July 7, 2006, at the age of 60, in Cambridge, England.

ðļðððð ððððð was originally written and recorded by Syd Barrett for his solo album The Madcap Laughs (1970) during the recording session in June 1969. Next month, Syd Barrett re-recorded the song which this time was entitled ððĻðŪðĨðð§’ð ððĻðŪ ððĒðŽðŽ ðð. It was later included into the album Opel (1988).
ðļðððð ððððð is the first cover Placebo ever officially released. It was used as B-side on their single ðð ððð ðŦðððŽ.
Moreover, it was probably one of the first covers Brian and Stef have ever played together! It was included into the setlist of their ðŊððŦðē ððĒðŦðŽð ð ðĒð as a two-piece band in 1994. Most likely, it was also performed at Placebo’s ððĒðŦðŽð ðĄððððĨðĒð§ðĒð§ð ðŽðĄðĻð° as a trio, with Robert Schultzberg, in January 1995.
The rest of the song’s live history is kind of veiled, it could be played at some other amateur 1994 gigs…
At ð ðĻðŦððŽðð ðĨððð ð ððŽððĒðŊððĨ in Austria on July 19th, 1997, Brian performed Dark Globe a capella as an intro for Bruise Pristine to bridge technical issues.
