About this track
This is about the detached feeling most people go through life with. It is a commentary on how people cope with the world by withdrawing physically, mentally, or emotionally. In the commentary of The Wall, Roger Waters states that the inspiration was Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett and his ordeal with schizophrenia.

Not the biggest Pink Floyd fan, but I do love this song. It was actually the first song I learned on guitar before I ditched that.

Very very good song, but nothing like Pink Floyd's other work. This is very radio friendly.

The fact that it's written to Syd doesn't make it any less of a love song. I'm sure they all love(d) him like family.
