Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the official music video of Pink Floyd performing 'See Emily Play" in honor of the fact that 'on August 4, 1967 - Pink Floyd released their debut album The Piper At the Gates of Dawn on which most songs were penned by Syd Barrett.'
By the way, I purchased the album 'The Piper At the Gates of Dawn' long ago

'See Emily Play" written by Syd Barrett
Lyrics
Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
Soon after dark Emily cries, ah ooh
Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah ooh
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily (Emily)
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play.

One classic The Piper At the Gates of Dawn song inspires me to post some more

Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett - Lucifer Sam
Pink Floyd, featured on their 1967 debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Sam was simply Barrett's Siamese cat (and is referred to as such in the first line: "Lucifer Sam, Siam cat"); the track was originally called "Percy the Rat Catcher" during the recording sessions, which took place between April and June 1967.
Lucifer Sam, siam cat
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side
That cat's something I can't explain
Ginger, ginger, Jennifer Gentle you're a witch
You're the left side
He's the right side
Oh, no
That cat's something I can't explain
Lucifer go to sea
Be a hip cat, be a ship's cat
Somewhere, anywhere
That cat's…

Didn't much care for them at first, but grew into them over the years

They were very psychedelic in the 1960s. Their experimentation in the 1970s was great.
