Pink Floyd Lucifer Sam 

Anthony3 Comments

Here is an early Pink Floyd track penned by Syd Barrett from the early days of The Floyd, where he was at the helm. Singing leads and playing lead guitar. A role that would be replaced by David Gilmour, later on after Barrett’s mental state unfortunately deteriorated, in 1968 on Saucerful of Secrets and subsequent albums after that. 

Lucifer Sam is about Syd’s Siamese Cat. 

       “Lucifer Sam, Siam cat.”

It’s far more psychedelic than the more known progressive songs by the band.  This is off there first LP, Piper at the Gates of Dawn. There’s definitely quite a few interesting tracks on this album, but Lucifer Sam is my favorite, and I think you’ll enjoy it. Check it out and as always, thank you for reading and listening…

Breathe / Eleanor Rigby The Beatles Vs Pink Floyd Mashup

Anthony5 Comments

For all your folks out there, that don’t know what a mashup is, it’s two songs that are in the same key or most of the lyrics and the vocals are in the same key.  They can translate one onto to the other with surprising fitting results.

You’d be surprised how many songs actually can be smashed together. In fact, if I do recall, in Southern California, KLOS FM on Friday night dedicated three hours to these songs.

Anyhow, I’m going to share my favorite mashup that I’ve ever heard. This blew my mind because these are two songs I’ve always known, and I never realized how close they fit on each other. 

Breathe the second track on the dark side of the moon (if you’re counting the initial track) by Pink Floyd of Dark Side Of The Moon and Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles of the Revolver LP. Check this out I think it’ll blow your mind. It certainly blew mine the first time I heard it.

As always, thank you for reading and listening 🎼🎶🎵😊
