Barrett, Syd - It Is Obvious Lyrics






It is obvious
May I say, oh baby, that it is found on another plane?
Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall

Your stars, my stars, a simple cock bar
Only an impulse, pie in the sky
Mumble listen dolly
Drift over your mind, holly
Creep into bed when your head's on the ground
She held the torch on the porch
She winked an eye

Reason it is written on the brambles
Stranded on the spikes, my blood red, oh listen
Remember those times I could call
Through the clear day
Time be there

Braver and braver, a handkerchief waver
The louder your lips to a loud hailer
Growing together, they grow to each either
No wondering, stumbling, fumbling
Rumbling minds shot together
Our minds shot together

So equally over a valley, a hill
Wood on quarry stood, each of us crying
A velvet curtain of gray
Mark the blanket where the sparrows play

And the trees by the waving corn stranded
My legs move the last empty inches to you
The softness, the warmth from the weather in suspense
Mote to a grog, the star a white chalk
Minds shot together, our minds shot together

    What is about Syd's music? Its so simple, it's so unpolished and yet somehow that just makes it that much more beautiful. His lyrics are simultaneously simple and profound.

  2. R.... F....

    Hi from Greenhall Asphalting and Marijuana cultivation Geelong Australia.

  3. R.... S....

    He ended up living a very peaceful life in his Cambridge home. Syd had the last laugh.....

  4. G.... B....

    i wish that I could write a song like him about my wife i could.

  5. B.... S....

    syd was pure genius.

  6. P.... M....

    love you forever

  7. r.... c....

    "your stars my stars are simple cots bars," that is what i hear anyway and it makes more sense

  8. R.... ....

    0:22 "your stars my stars are simple cot bars"

  9. a.... ....

    I can listen to this forever

  10. L.... L....

    Mindshot together oh mindshot together.

  11. M.... T....

    Cot bars. Like feeling the bed frame

  12. C.... P....

    This song is what happen when you give a trip to a creative mind.

  13. S.... ....

    It is obvious
    May I say, oh baby, that it is found on another plane?
    Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall
    Your stars my stars, a simple cock bar
    Only an impulse pie in the sky
    Mumble listen dolly
    Drift over your mind holly
    Creep into bed when your head's on the ground
    She held the torch on the porch,
    She winked an eye

    Reason it is written on the brambles
    Stranded on the spikes my blood red, oh listen:
    Remember those times I could call
    Through the clear day
    Time be there
    Braver and braver, a handkerchief waver
    The louder you lips to a loud hailer
    Growing together, they ('re) growing each either
    No wondering, stumbling, fumbling
    Rumbling minds shot together,
    Our minds shot together

    So equally over a valley, a hill
    Wood on quarry stood, each of us crying
    A velvet curtain of gray
    Mark the blanket where the sparrows play
    And the trees by the waving corn stranded
    My legs move the last empty inches to you
    The softness, the warmth from the weather in suspense
    Mote to a grog the star a white chalk
    Minds shot together, our minds shot together

    As perhaps the most famous acid drop-out in music history, we can infer that these lyrics refer to another mental plane. Take your pick: The enlightened or the unwell state of mind he reached & that retired him back to his mother’s house, at the peak of his music career.

  15. R.... P....

    Thers' somthin' wrng wit te lyrcs.

  16. C.... w....

    It’s some of his best material this. It just plays like a loop going round and round forever.

  17. F.... C....

    Is this about a cat? 🐱 Syd's observations. Psychedelia perfection.

  19. H.... M....

    And all this time I've been making shit that doesn't liken me. I make a lot of sense. I'm not even here. I've completely lost myself.

  20. B.... .....

    it's "cot bar," not "cock bar."

  21. M.... F....

    I swear Syd was a musician wizard.
    Just marvelous music.

  22. J.... A....

    Brilliant!
    "Remember those times I could call through the clear day a time and you'd be there?" ❤️💔

    J.... A....

    Jason Arnett I’m long gone on this dark globe pussy willow stone from heart, and my head kissed the ground...

    J.... A....

    @JimiJop Woodstock you seem to have as persistent an interest in syd as I do

    J.... A....

    Harrsh Mishra yes , it could be classed as obsessive. I’ll play 78 of his songs on a loop and we know he only recorded about 37 songs in his short career so I got a lot of double triple efforts then I’ll lay the iPod at my bed head as white noise, it’s s good sleep Syd lullaby’s on low volume.
    Enjoy your cricket and scones mate

  23. R.... C....

    I think it's "mog to a grog the scar of white chalk...."

    R.... C....

    it is obvious

  24. T.... D....

    What's that second picture from? With the hallway and dogs?

  25. M.... D....

    What a shame. I just found this song today :( I've wasted my youth.

    M.... D....

    play repeat . youtube is helping us catch all the great music radio doesn't play

  26. B.... W....

    Hey Emo!!

    B.... W....

  27. y.... ....

    The lyrics are not correct. It's "are simple cot bars."

    y.... ....

    Thank you

  28. j.... ....

  29. z.... ....

    Brilliant!!

  30. B.... P....

    His final recorded and released solo song.

  31. b.... b....

    The best lyrics I have ever heard.

  32. B.... S....

    fucking incendiary. his songwriting has that feel of a painter making brushstrokes on a canvas. guy wuz a genius. wot more can i say?

  33. T.... 3....

    "Minds shot together, our minds shot together"
    Yeah, you are already dead and I was born in 1991. (._.)

  34. S.... D....

    Such an amazing piece of work, but such a crappy sound arrangement.. Barrett lost it by the time he wrote the music of this song.. And the sound arrangers completely fucked up the essence of the song. This song has a Major chord structure and the use of an interesting Raga. Robin Hitchcock's version is impeccably done.. and that is how the song should sound like

  35. D.... R....

    "Remember those times when I'd call in the clear day time and you woould be there."-

  36. L.... N....

    His voice cracks and trails off at times, it's heartbreaking

  37. M.... N....

    WOW! Beautiful. The mind running freely.

    M.... N....

    What a great way to put it! I love this song! Is it a song? It's music...

  38. J.... ....

    most underrated Syd song, utterly amazing!

    J.... ....

    I play it once every few days

  39. S.... B....

    Oh Syd, you are the best!

  40. F.... D....

    I feel this song is a story and it gives me really ominous vibes. First time I heard this song (at age 7) I had a crazy nightmare about Syd

  41. P.... P....

    there's a horror story behind the lyrics: my blood red, oh listen

  42. r.... ....

    Mgmt should redo this be fun

  43. R.... D....

    This song sounds ego free inoccent and pure it makes me cry of happiness its more than music

    R.... D....

    Robert Defex you described it amazingly👍💔

  44. i.... m....

    sorts the wheat from the chaff

  45. A.... ....

    Sometimes I think Syd's later solo songs would work better as spoken poetry than actual songs.

    A.... ....

    @Landin Lewis what are you meaning?

    A.... ....

    @Harrsh Mishra Syd's goal was to blend the two, same as Jim Morrison (in a way)

    A.... ....

    @Landin Lewis Yes! I get it.

    A.... ....

    @Harrsh Mishra Sorry if I came across as arrogant- Was just bummed out that it went overlooked. Syd strived to blend mediums together, and he did it well.

    A.... ....

    @Landin Lewis Hush, passionate disapproval demands attention.

  46. R.... G....

    "the good of each other", not they're growing each other. A beautiful song from a beautiful mind. This makes me think of first love.

  47. L.... A....

    well said Chris Anthony!
    -This song is timeless.-

  48. R.... ....

    your stars - my stars, ARE simple COD BARS

    R.... ....

    Cot bars

    R.... ....

    Noel Rayland yes quite right, it's COT BARS

  49. G.... ....

    Oh man, when he doubles the vocals at 1:50...so great.

  50. S.... M....

    <3 Syd. Genial Syd.

  51. J.... W....

    I've never seen a comment on YouTube that I've agreed more with. Brilliantly articulated observation.

  52. s.... ....

    second to last line is "Mog to a Grog"

  53. S.... M....

    sweet tune

  54. C.... A....

    It always seems like there is an inevitability of form with Syd's words; as if he didn't imagine them from scratch, but rather caught a glimpse of the pure and complete poetry in a metaphysical elsewhere and then accurately decoded it and manifested it into this reality. Like all great artists, it seems like he was merely channeling his art from the realm of Perfect Beauty; a clever, but tortured medium between Here and There.

    C.... A....

    Good analysis, really, if you were a woman saying that you'd have 100 likes or more by now,
    isn't that
    crazy, but
    we all
    get off
    on a decent and thought out comment.

    C.... A....

    Exactly

  55. r.... ....

    its obbious The Au Pairs.

  56. J.... B....

    @wotererio Thanks from me as well......

  57. J.... B....

    My eternal psychedelic hero.....go inside your mind to never return........

    Syd.

    J.... B....

    a good place to reside

  58. s.... ....

    simply stunning! xxx

  59. L.... ....

    Haha.....your welcome!! :)

    L.... ....

    bump Syd, the best mate
