Remember when you were young Come on you raver, you seer of visions Shine on you crazy diamond Blown on the steel breeze You cried for the moon Will there be drawn in you there? You winner and loser, come on you miner Now there's a look in your eyes Shine on you crazy diamond Songwriters: David Jon Gilmour, Roger Waters, Rick Wright With random precision And exposed in the light Publisher: ARTEMIS MUZIEKUITGEVERIJ B.V. Rode on the steel breeze Shine on you crazy diamond You shone like the sun Nobody knows where you are For truth and delusion and shine Of childhood and stardom How near or how far Shine on you crazy in diamond Come on you butcher Shine on you crazy diamond Of yesterday's triumph How more, many more layers Threatened by shadows at night You reached for the secret too soon Shine on you crazy diamond Well, you wore out your welcome Sail on the steel breeze You were caught in the cross fire Come on you target for faraway laughter You piper, you prisoner and shine You legend, you martyr and shine And we'll bask in the shadow Come on you painter Like black holes in the sky Come on you stranger
the build up, guitar solos, lyrics/topic of the song.... everything about this song is just incredible.

You think this is long pull up Dogs, i think it's 17 minutes or so, but nothing beats the Shine On suite.

this song is sooo awsome it is best listened to with absolutely no destractions .
|

The live version in Gdansk is also great - but I usually prefer original versions of songs.
|
||
One of the greatest songs of all time - never get tired of listening to it.

this song along with echoes r f**king master pises from them ....
i dont know what would have been of the world without this guys dude |

Why can't I click that little "Thumbs Up" icon like twenty times so all my songs sound kinda like this? Maybe not THE best Pink Floyd song (Paging "Us and Them", "Wish You Were Here", "Echoes", "Time", and "Comfortably Numb") but definitely worth listening to.

One of Floyds better songs for sure. I personally do not like pre-Waters era Floyd all that much. Atom Heart Mother and Relics were the only 2 albums I enjoyed. I can listen every album all the way through starting with Dark side on.

You know that the song is for you when you already love all of the similar songs listed. One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.

Probubly the best Floyd song - a tribute to their founder, Sid Barret. I will never forget seeing Roger Waters do it at Madison Square Garden - right after Sid's passing - there were images of Sid behind the stage. Just beutiful...c l a s s i c Gilmore leads throughout.. . S h i n e on Sid Barret !

This is absolutely beautiful. This and "Wish You Were Here." Pure bliss. <3

Rick Wright had a hand in writing this beautiful tune -- especially Part 1. May he attain absolute happiness and perfect enlightenmen t .
This is some of David Gilmour's finest, most sensitive guitar playing on record. Wright and Barrett -- shine on you crazy diamonds! |
