EMILY PLAY
Concept:
According to Syd Barrett, it is about a girl he saw after a Pink Floyd concert
in 1967 while sleeping in the woods. Richard
Wright: Although it sounds a bit gimmicky, hardly any special effects were
used. Take that Hawaiian bit at the end of each verse, that was just Syd
using a bottleneck through echo. The part that sounds speeded up, though,
was speeded up! John Woods, the engineer , just upped the whole thing about
an octave. On stage, we have to cut that particular bit out, but then I
don't think the audience minds if our reproduction isn't 100% accurate.
Comment:
This song was originally called Games For May. Comment:
David Gilmour attended this recording session although he was not in the
band at the time.
