How tragically prescient the last verse is. Went right into that “other room” in his head and never came out. A real bundle of lost potential there. Rest in peace, Syd.

LOL, this song is so hilarious and endering. Currently favourite form Syd Barret.

Listening to the debut album "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" released in August 1967. This is an incredible piece of work by the genius of Syd Barrett & Albert Hoffman. Written and lead vocal performed by Syd. Everything that I have come across suggests that at this time period only Syd was doing acid. Supposedly the other band members did not even try alcohol until Janice Joplin passed them the bottle while on the same venue together.

That summer (1965), as a consequence of the continuation of drug use, the band became absorbed in Sant Mat, a Sikh sect. Storm Thorgerson (then living on Earlham Street) and Barrett went to a London hotel to meet the sect's guru; Thorgerson managed to join the sect, while Barrett, however, was deemed too young to join. Thorgerson perceives this as a deeply important event in Barrett's life, as he was intensely upset by the rejection. While living within close proximity of his friends, Barrett decided to write more songs. "Bike" was written around this time
