shine on you crazy diamond

A song by the band Pink Floyd from their album Wish You were here.

The song, is in two parts on the album, but is really nine parts.

Here is how the parts break down:

Part I Orchestra-like keyboard chords, some synth horn.
Part II Begins with "Syd's Theme", the four note (Dah DAH dah DAH...) riff that is repeated throughout this part of the song.
Part III Rick's synth horn solo.
Part IV Vocal section.
Part V Sax solo.
Part VI Odd-sounding synth, then goes into some decent lap steel by Gilmour.
Part VII Second vocal section.
Part VIII Jazzy synths.
Part IX Closing funeral dirge-like synth horn solo.

Evan: RATE Shine on You Crazy Diamond plz
JON: INSTA 10/10!

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
