Syd Barrett, frozen in a moment of childhood vs ugly.
Childheart, Wide Eyed Boy singing Jugband Blues....then Dark Globe
Damien unknowingly kicked open a couple doors I thought I had bricked over...
I look to my Eskimo friend
When I'm Down Down Down
Go figure, I'm a Stoner...I hear and remember Everything
Walk in Peace.

my god!!! i wish i could've expressed what you wrote up there!!! you know, the first time i heard that song, the Syd association also came up to my mind, every line fit perfectly ... so so sad and lonely and empty, that's why i don't listen to that song very often, same reason i don't listen to jugband blues very often. i don't care who damien had in mind when he wrote that song, to me it only has one meaning. thank you for your posts
