Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (6 January 1946– 7 July 2006) was an English musician, composer, singer, songwriter, and painter. Best known as a founder member of the band Pink Floyd, Barrett was the lead singer, guitarist and principal songwriter in its early years and is credited with naming the band. Barrett was excluded from Pink Floyd in April 1968 after David Gilmour took over as their new guitarist, and was briefly hospitalized amid speculation of mental illness.
Barrett was musically active for less than ten years. With Pink Floyd, he recorded four singles, their debut album (and contributed to the second one), and several unreleased songs. Barrett began his solo career in 1969 with the single "Octopus" from his first solo album, The Madcap Laughs (1970). The album was recorded over the course of a year with five different producers (Peter Jenner, Malcolm Jones, David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Barrett himself). Nearly two months after Madcap was released, Barrett began working on his second and final album, Barrett(1970),produced by Gilmour and featuring contributions from Richard Wright. He went into self-imposed seclusion until his death in 2006. In 1988, an album of unreleased tracks and outtakes, Opel, was released by EMI with Barrett's approval.
Syd Barrett is a 1974 double-album pairing of Syd Barrett's two solo albums, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, both originally released in the UK in 1970.
Cover
During the summer of 1965, Barrett had his first acid trip in the garden of his friend Dave Gale, with Ian Moore and Storm Thorgerson. While on the influence of the acid, Barrett had placed an orange, plum and a matchbox into a corner, while staring at the fruit, which he claimed symbolized "Venus and Jupiter". Thorgerson used this imagery when he added these items to the cover of Syd Barrett.
"Where Are You?" was the United Kingdom entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 1998, performed in English by Imaani, held in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The song was composed by Scott English, Phil Manikiza and Simon Stirling. The song is a fairly up-tempo ballad and describes a woman who is trying to find her lover.
Covers
Serbian band Dobar Loš Zao covered this song, and it was titled "Bez tebe" (Without you).
Where Are You? is an album by jazz pianist Mal Waldron recorded in 1989 and released on the Italian Soul Note label.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn awarded the album 3 stars stating "Mal Waldron's mellow and sentimental side is tapped on this session... A less demonstrative, but still quite enjoyable, Mal Waldron date".

I see it in your convoluted daydreams These never ending quests we're always on I can't believe the things we give importance to These foolish goals we set ourselves upon Are you gonna make this easy Are you gonna make this rough This world gonna make you crazy If you never have enough Most of what we want is just illusion Most of what we buy won't change a thing Most of what we're told is misdirection Offered up to ease our suffering Are you gonna see the wisdom Are you gonna call this bluff This world's gonna run you over If you never have enough This is a whole new thing almost like a new religion The liights are always on the doors are never locked We ride in on the light the shelves are overstocked Everybody's got their own connection Everybody's hoping they can score Everybody's looking for perfection Everybody wants a little more Are you gonna be addicted Are you gonna give it up This world's gonna drive you under
