Kendra Morris - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Lyrics






Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine

  1. j.... r....

    The best cover of shine on you Crazy diamond.

  2. d.... ....

    She's great and that guitarist is killing it too.

  3. T.... S....

    One of the best covers of Floyd I've ever heard. I'm a Pink Floyd nut and all.

  4. S.... S....

    My view is that a cover should add something to the original. I don't think this cover does that although on first listen I was impressed by guitar. Check out Dan Reed Network version of Money.

    Holy Moley, when I heard this song for the first time at 17, I immediately realized that I was hearing the voice of God, so it is like scripture to me in a sense. So I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is a great cover.

  6. A.... ....

    if you ever read this ... I miss you

  7. C.... Y....

    Oh Yeeahhh!!!

  8. O.... ....

    Sick cover!!!

  9. n.... s....

    Ohh man, look out its Kendra Morris.............who the hell for one?! And so lame for second, so lame.

    Such an underrated artist here- I love her groove

  12. r.... ....

    Who is the guitarist playingvwith her

  13. R.... N....

    I was never a Pink Floyd fan, to many heavy weight bands around, but i like this song.

  14. G.... B....

    Finally found this cover i been looking for so long 😭😭😭it really brings up memories when I was just a kid and listen this cover of one of my favorite band's song😍😍💓💓😍

  15. R.... M....

    A disgrace.

  16. P.... ....

    This made me buy the Mockingbird album. Love it! :)

  17. r.... ....

    Dead man down

  21. C.... H....

    I'm A HUGE Floyd Fan And Im Very Strict When It Comes To Covers (Unexpectedly This Song) And Im Gonna Say It Now This Is A Damn Good Cover By A Modern Artist Good Job Kendra

  22. j.... g....

    j'adore😍😍😍

  23. S.... M....

    The intro reminded me of a mix of Shine on and Great gig in the sky feel. Good job!

  24. d.... ....

    Well, it's a great cover but without these four magical notes... It's just lacking something

  25. G.... ....

    A lot better than the original, imo.

  26. d.... ....

    This really should have more views...

  27. R.... M....

    Kendra smokes🙏🏽😎

  28. J.... L....

    Well, how about that!?!? :) Go Kendra!!! Discovered you just tonight, and four thumbs up (considering my toes as thumbs also - it's a czech thing I suppose.. :)) Beautimous!!! :)

  29. S.... G....

    This voice needs some Serious lyrics

  30. A.... S....

    There's a lot of wack covers to this masterpiece, but Kendra Morris killed this one. Major props, Ma'am.

  31. J.... J....

    Kendra has a excellent voice,and a great version of this song

  32. j.... ....

    My fav Pink Floyd song! Great cover. Beautiful voice.

  33. r.... d....

    surprisingly good cover

  34. J.... J....

    GREAT VERSION of this song HELL of a voice.

  35. M.... M....

    Honestly I don't really like this. Granted I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan and I have high standards of their covers, but this cuts out way too much instrumental music and her singing doesn't fit the mood of what the intent of this song is. The guitar at the beginning was great but Kendra kind of just takes away from that when she starts singing

    M.... M....

    You know this is for a movie right?

  36. D.... S....

    Dead man down was awsome

  37. M.... W....

    Have to give nodz to 'gif haz sound' had this as a soundbyte.

  38. J.... G....

    Kendra is great!

  39. M.... w....

    It takes a special artist take an iconic song and make it there own..... Kendra smashes it with this version!!!

  40. R.... A....

    Great cover, different artistic rendition, but stays true to the classic floyd feel. Also has a "Great Gig in the Sky" vibe.

  41. P.... B....

    pink Floyd is my favorite
    but she did an excellent job on this one.

    P.... B....

    Oh yeah

  42. H.... H....

    Beautiful rendition of this song #KendraMorrisMusic

  43. K.... B....

    smoke a blunt, listen to this song, then try telling me you dont love everything and everyone in the world, you cant

    K.... B....

    Damn that guitar sounds faken awesome.

  44. A.... Q....

    Very very few covers did good on Pink Floyd's covers but she really did well.

  45. b.... w....

    GREAT!!!!

  46. D.... M....

    who are the 77 dickwads?!?!

    D.... M....

    i know right.

  47. M.... P....

    Any time she covers a song she owns it! Songs I thought I hated I realized were amazing! That "500 Miles" song always got on my last damn gay nerve. When she does it, I can't get enough! Truly a gifted songstress! I love you, Kendra!

  48. D.... R....

    I'm gonna burn it down :-)

  49. S.... V....

    This deserves more views!

  50. S.... F....

    This is not bad at all! She has got a great voice! She gets the mood of the piece! Musical arrangements are nice without copying it by rote. Take a bow Kendra!

  51. R.... W....

    get a move on, insane hard rock you

  52. J.... ....

    Isn't this in some movie that came out in the last year or two?

    J.... ....

    Dead Man Down Trailer.

  53. J.... H....

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE her voice... I normally hate Floyd covers... but this is so fricken' awesome!!!!

    J.... H....

    I so agree with you. I heard it in a movie and i had to sound hound it.

  54. d.... c....

  55. k.... ....

    This cover sux :/

  56. M.... S....

    Super bir yorum

  57. J.... M....

    This is great I cant believe I didnt find it before now. 

  58. z.... ....

    Ray Donovan diverted me here!

  59. T.... ....

    That guitar in the beginning is just amazing

  60. D.... W....

    4 seconds in I already know I'm gonna abuse this track - look out stereo - time for some schooling

  61. j.... s....

    In my opinion one of, if not the best Pink Floyd cover out there. I would like to think that Syd would be proud.

    j.... s....

    I get the idea behind your post but you know that Syd barret was not part of Pink Floyd anymore by this album ( and yes he did pay a visit during the recording but was unable to contribute in any meaningful way) ? I m no rock critic but with an album title like "wish you were here" it s hard to make it more obvious ;)

    j.... s....

    But the song was written for Syd

    j.... s....

    Mario S
    Who cares? Syd was the inspiration only. There's no reason to feel he would be proud.

  62. S.... ....

    one in Soundcloud
    https://soundcloud.com/brianmtl/kendra-morris-shine-on-you-crazy-diamond

  63. N.... M....

    the original song is updated to this one. love them both with all my heart

  64. R.... K....

    focking hell!! she has a powerful and very smoothing voice!! loveit

  65. R.... ....

    This is a really good cover, but by cutting out the opening and closing four minutes you're just... missing a huge part of what makes the song great. It's such a slow buildup, you miss that by having the drums and bass and guitar all starting right away.

    R.... ....

    How true. Pink Floyd is more than just vocals.

    R.... ....

    @RazrHack that is because she's only a vocalist. i guess.

    R.... ....

    +RazrHack The original didn't disappear from existence though.

    R.... ....

    I hate that part in Pink Floyd songs, I wanna get to the meat of it.

  66. E.... V....

    So I get a new iPhone five I can't even watch some YouTube videos?

  67. I.... ....

    Apart from the original, this is my favourite version of this song. I wish I could put as much soul into one song as Morris does. 

  68. S.... P....

    Not a good cover at all.
    First off, this song is about SYD! Syd only,
    Obviously she has not talent to make her own rendition with using the same progressions or scale. She just sounds like a rip off.

    Personally it sucks.

    S.... P....

    P.P.S ---> On topic - Still a great rendition IMO

    S.... P....

    @Dylan Westphal
    See at least your have the common knowledge and sincerity as a person to discontinue this ridiculous argument. Also you realize where im coming from and what I am trying to say.

    S.... P....

    Dakota Otero
    By that logic, as a tribute to Syd this was disingenuous because you had to pay for the album

    S.... P....

    TheCarence 😁

    S.... P....

    Ur stupid lol

  69. P.... P....

    I love her play like i love pink floyds play ......................

  70. R.... ....

    Now see, this is a great cover. You can tell she obviously respects the original work, and she's putting her heart and soul into this cover.

    Don't let nostalgia cloud your judgement, people. Give it a fair chance.

    R.... ....

    I agree, I've been listening to Floyd my entire life and this cover is beautiful. 

    R.... ....

    +LesPaul 1957 I agree. Probably the best cover I've heard

    R.... ....

    Totally agree - I'm a diehard Floydian fan, and even I think this is nothing short of stunning!

    R.... ....

    Very well said... Was thinking the same thing... There will sadly be a day when the original members of pink floyd will no longer be with us and cover artist like this will attract the hearts ears of listeners of her generation and those after..

  71. H.... ....

    Love Zep.  Good cover!

    H.... ....

    Thanks, Forza. I believe I posted that after a deep inhale, hahah. 

    H.... ....

    While I love Led Zeppelin as well, this is a Pink Floyd song.

  72. C.... A....

    Perfecto.

  73. I.... B....

    More imitative of Dark Side than of Wish You Were Here, but a valiant effort. Not bad at all.

  74. D.... B....

    The only acceptable Pink Floyd cover.

  75. s.... ....

    It sounds like Tina Turner got lost and went to the wrong recording studio.  Sorry this doesn't cut it.

    Check out the band A Camp here on You Tube (Nina P from the Cardigans)
    A Camp - Us and Them (Pink Floyd cover)

  76. D.... F....

    Mmm , sorry but not what I expected. This is a song made by one of the best bands ever in history. This shouldn't be covered in this way. 

    D.... F....

    I completely agree with you.  This cover is a desecration.

    D.... F....

    @Barrettfloyd82 totally agree !! 

    D.... F....

    stop acting like a bunch of hipster faggots.
    At least it wasn't covered by some hip hop group or teen sensation, it actually sounded quite genuine.

    D.... F....

    Pink Floyd sucks :)

    D.... F....

    @88pie88 I couldn't agree more. She keeps a lot of the same feel while putting, I feel, even more soul into it than there was in the original.

  77. S.... D....

    Just Horrible....Poor Pink.

  78. y.... d....

    une voix tout simplement magnifique  des frissons a l entendre chanter une grande hate  qu elle revienne a PARIS  pour que je puisse retourner  la voir a un concert  de plus adorable avec ses fans

  79. l.... ....

    nice...

  80. J.... S....

    Muito Top essa versao BRASILLL!!!!

  81. F.... '....

    in here coz pink floyd track

  82. v.... ....

    me too!! ))

  83. P.... B....

    Pink Floyd would be proud

  84. m.... f....

    excelente.... el mejor cover que escuché de Pink Floyd.... y el mejor tema (bueno para mi) de Pink Floyd... SALVE ROGER...!!!!

  85. N.... T....

    Hey I just recorded a version of this song! :)

  86. S.... T....

    Oops, never mind, Roger Waters sings this song on the Wish You Were Here Album

  87. S.... T....

    Her cover is pretty good, but I prefer Gilmour's voice to hers. Her voice is fuller and more booming not quite like gospel, but sorta like it. Gilmour's voice is just much sadder and chilling.

  88. m.... f....

    si,,,, un excelente cover shine.... SALVE ROGER...!

  89. Y.... S....

    it's excellent cover!, this is broadcasted on NHK FM today (I guess)

  90. T.... ....

    well always floyds, but she's brilliant ;)

  91. S.... L....

    I'll take as many covers as I can get. For every ten crappy ones we get one as good as this.

  92. T.... ....

    ROFL
    You mean Syd Barret?
    Perhaps you should learn the artists name before you lay a claim that someone doesn't even know who they are.

    P.S. This cover fucking rocks, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. if I were Mr. Barrett, i'd be proud someone did this.

  93. J.... J....

    The band is excellent also...

  94. J.... M....

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! DON'T LET ME DIE LIKE THIS!!!!!

  95. j.... ....

    I wasn't trying to prove you wrong. I wanted to give you the right information about what albums Syd played on and what they were called. Nothing more.

  96. M.... ....

    I first heard her at the end of a Ray Donovan Episode.
