This song reminds me of a little girl I knew who killed herself when she had just turned fifteen. I used to babysit her and can still see her as a happy little chunky toddler. I was so upset about it, still can't understand it, and for some reason this is the song that always comes to mind when I think of her. Long video but well worth it! "You reached for your secret too soon, you cried for the moon..."
Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom.
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter.
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon,
You cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond!!!
Threatened by shadows at night,
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision.
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions.
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
