Description:
This is a submission for the Lost Song Project. Of course you have to guess who I'm trying to rip off. Artist and album. It's probably a heavier track then "the boys" had intended.
Lyrics:
Crazy Star
you lost your head past the clouds
we threw you a rope to bring you down
oh how we tried to hush the sounds
crazy star you shined so bright
now you hide from the shadows that haunt your mind
on a sharp steel edge you slipped your mind
we are picking up the pieces you left behind
crazy star you burned so bright
now dark holes fill your mind
demented memories gone to far
fly on the wall held your calls
lost all outside contact after all
you threw away the key to you cell
talking to no one on a panic to fail
oh how we should have read the writing on the wall
crazy star you shined so bright
now you hide from the shadows that haunt your mind
on a sharp steel edge you slipped your mind
we are picking up the pieces you left behind
crazy star you burned so bright
now dark holes fill your mind
crazy star you shined so bright
now you hide from the shadows that haunt your mind

Dark Side of the Moon? &mdash 11/30/07 - 03:18:04 AM
Just a guess. It's all the echoes on the vocals and "slidy" guitar which remind me.
Great song anyway. Superb arrangement and playing as always.
So you moved from LE? (you probably did a while back but I never noticed) I never got my head around LE let alone full blown Logic.
You're definitely using it to good effect.
Cheers

Hey Dick &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:25:10 PM
Logic isn't so hard once it clicks. the compressors alone are better.
I can't release my dark side yet [ Reply to This ]
Err Pink Floyd &mdash 11/30/07 - 03:19:15 AM
on the album 'Wish you were here', thats my guess. Very good track, I love it. Well done VIC. All elements are very well done.
(Note: Your voice actually sounds like Peter Gabriel, and thats no bad thing.) [ Reply to This ]
we'll know in a week &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:27:45 PM
I hadn't thought of Peter Gabriel. maybe if this project comes around again. I might give that a thought. [ Reply to This ]
just a guess... &mdash 11/30/07 - 03:31:58 AM
definitely floyd! definitely a great tune! i'd have to say momentary lapse of reason for the album though...has that "just after waters left" feel to it, to me anyways. let me know if i'm correct. great tune again man, great tune!

revealed in a week. gosh, i'm having a momentary lapse of reason. I'm sure I'll remember in a week when we all reveal our source [ Reply to This ]
Well &mdash 11/30/07 - 03:35:48 AM
I'll go along with Pink Floyd but as to which album? Something pre-dating DSOTM perhaps - Meddle... although the lyrics rather hint at Wish You Were Here?
Great track!

Hi Peter &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:33:52 PM
everyone will be posting the truth in a week. so there is time to mull it over. I didn't want to make to easy! [ Reply to This ]
Vic Floyd! &mdash 11/30/07 - 04:12:38 AM
Great stuff Vicar! Surely this is the one that got away from "Wish You Were Here..."
I dig this so much man. Shine on you crazy Macjammer!
Be well! [ Reply to This ]
come to think... &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:38:05 PM
...of it. this band never has put out a anthology album.
Nice remix job on Lethe. Bro! [ Reply to This ]
"The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" &mdash 11/30/07 - 05:33:54 AM
I maybe is out and cycling but if not "Dark side of the moon" then.
hahaha ... anyway very good track as always.
Peace, Love & respect

everyone participating will reveal there source in a week.
I'm glad you enjoyed this. [ Reply to This ]
Love it &mdash 11/30/07 - 06:25:12 AM
Whooo, this is fabulous. I mean fabulous in its own right aside from its Floydiness.
There is something Dark Side Of The Moon about it ... it has just the kind of dark intensity which belongs to that album.
Nice one! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Rebsie &mdash 11/30/07 - 11:09:35 PM
well the band I'm emulating did tend to go after the dark side of the human psyche on most of there. albums. Alot of help I am :-) [ Reply to This ]

Man, if they reformed you could be their Sid barrett... in fact, i think you are! [ Reply to This ]
Hi Steve &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:48:12 PM
No idea who it is... ;-) &mdash 11/30/07 - 06:56:53 AM
But seriously (and that wasn't my guess - I don't think it's Phil Collins!), it's seems obvious that it's Pink Floyd, but I think people have the timing wrong. Wish You Were Here fits lyrically, but the sound fits better with Animals or The Wall. I'm really intrigued to find out which album you were going for. [ Reply to This ]
I'm with you on this &mdash 11/30/07 - 07:59:46 AM
i guess we spill the beans in a week &mdash 11/30/07 - 11:22:18 PM
who knows maybe there is a unknown anthology album they never released. without Phil Collins of course [ Reply to This ]
"Crazy Star you shined so bright" &mdash 11/30/07 - 08:11:08 AM
kinda seals the deal on Wish You Were Here - but that could be a clever red herring. Still I'm gonna go with it. Great track Vic. I've only listened to 4 entries so far and I'm having a blast. [ Reply to This ]
red herring in the sky &mdash 12/01/07 - 12:43:57 PM
yes I also am getting the greatest kick out of listening to all the entries. this is a really fun event [ Reply to This ]
Nice Emulation &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:26:06 AM
of the Floyd feel.
Much of musical chronology is a blur to me now, but I'm guessing, because of the two lyrical references to *the wall* that it falls sometime after that landmark work.
My second guess is The Monkees from their *Head* album. lol
Great-sounding work, Vic. ;)
--- Joe [ Reply to This ]
monkee do &mdash 12/01/07 - 12:47:38 PM
actually I had been thinking of doing a variation of the porpoise song. but my voice would sound out of place. [ Reply to This ]
Ah, gotta love a Monkees fan &mdash 12/01/07 - 05:43:09 PM
Floyd... &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:42:04 AM
.. heavy version .. the chords give a hint .. then
the first verse vocal melody was very Roger Walters ..
but other bits chorus (say) sound earlier Floyd .. making an album choice hard .. but I'd go with "Wish you were here".
This is such a cool game - wicked results! Influences on sleeves too ...
Awesome Vic, geetar is inspired. Fine mix too. [ Reply to This ]
Dark side &mdash 11/30/07 - 10:47:20 AM
of a crazy star. Masterful arraingement and production as usual. Guitars and vocals aint half bad either. :) Great stuff! [ Reply to This ]
I was going to say... &mdash 11/30/07 - 12:51:14 PM
...Brittany Spears originally, but, I'll go along with everyone else and say Pink Floyd. As for which album, not a clue. Awesome though. [ Reply to This ]
I was going to do... &mdash 12/01/07 - 09:13:32 PM
Britney Spears.(shaved head version) but i couldn't work out the dance number in time. [ Reply to This ]
Crazy Star &mdash 11/30/07 - 12:58:06 PM
Goodness ..what a superb song the guitars work just
crazy darn good ..and the bass just perfect ..this
need alot to think to see what it migth fit .LSP
anyway KUDOS !! [ Reply to This ]
The lavalamp has been lit! &mdash 11/30/07 - 02:14:50 PM
damn you &mdash 11/30/07 - 03:20:33 PM
i know it's Floyd, and the crazy star thing is definitely Wish You Were Here, but that echo on the vocals (haunt your mind) is going to make me go with Animals. This is an awesome track Vic, although you could have made it easier if you put some dogs barking. [ Reply to This ]
Very cool... &mdash 11/30/07 - 04:22:10 PM
At first... I was thinking Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. Then I thought for sure it was Peter Noone, frontman for Herman's Hermits (who, btw, lives here in S.B.).
;)
But I will defer to the consensus choice of Floyd. [ Reply to This ]
Herman Holman &mdash 12/02/07 - 01:31:48 PM
Ditto &mdash 11/30/07 - 04:22:41 PM
I would place this as heavy "Wish you were here", too slick and bluesy for early floyd to my ears.
Thanks
Bill [ Reply to This ]
Bloody terrific &mdash 11/30/07 - 04:48:39 PM
Excellent song in it's own right, but love the Flloyd references - very subtle they are too :)
Amazing production Vic - I suspect PF would have been happy with this.
Neil [ Reply to This ]
Hey Neil &mdash 12/02/07 - 05:31:59 PM
and wouldn't you know it. They never will get back together.
But Vic Floyd is suitable for now. [ Reply to This ]
The Wall &mdash 11/30/07 - 08:29:38 PM
duuuude ! &mdash 11/30/07 - 11:28:05 PM
i'm now so glad i didn't submit my floyd lsp , you put mine to shame. this is another fantastic tune, great job !

dark side or &mdash 11/30/07 - 11:58:51 PM
Definitely got a Floyd feel &mdash 12/01/07 - 03:51:46 AM
..difficult to pinpoint the album as its a mix of the spaciness of Meddle coupled with the aggression of The Wall. Really cool track!
Steve [ Reply to This ]
Pink Floyd :-) &mdash 12/01/07 - 06:42:01 AM
Love "Wish You Were Here" and what was that other one? Something about "Lunatics"! ? ! (just going with some of your past song post snippets of lyrics. Kudos, Bro! Shine on you crazy diamond in the rough out on the "Mall" range lassoing the sky! CJ (aka. Angel) [ Reply to This ]
hey Carole &mdash 12/04/07 - 09:12:02 PM
I suppose it &mdash 12/01/07 - 08:35:39 AM
must be Pink Floyd, but for some reason reminds me of the Moody Blues.
Great track Vic - very enjoyable.
Cheers

I've gotta be boring on this one... &mdash 12/01/07 - 09:58:29 AM
...and lean toward "Wish You Were Here" or "The Wall"... I hear references to both...
First lost song I've listened to. What fun...

Hey Floyd? &mdash 12/01/07 - 01:41:12 PM
err... I mean Vic, haha. I had to come back to leave a comment because I thought you'd like to know how much I'd diggin' this track! Nice job, sir! To me it seems like it would fit in nicely with Dark Side of The Moon, but wadda I know? [ Reply to This ]
Everyone &mdash 12/01/07 - 02:58:13 PM
has already guessed the possibilities that i would consider.Great song! [ Reply to This ]
It's a good thing that everyone else... &mdash 12/01/07 - 05:02:52 PM
...seems to know who's emulating who on these Lost Songs.
I keep looking out for Beethoven and Bach...
But seriously, my lack of knowledge hasn't taken away from enjoying these songs.
This is very cool--dark, driving, haunting. You get a fabulous, big sound and a great intensity in those vocals. Kudos! :) [ Reply to This ]
demented memories &mdash 12/01/07 - 10:34:06 PM
Vic, what a great track. You should do a whole LSP CD :-) Just the right mix, vocals and guitars meshing nicely. That guitar at the end (actually the whole end part) is outstanding. [ Reply to This ]
demented i am &mdash 12/02/07 - 05:35:11 PM
the funny thing is, I kind of feel I have already done a CD's worth of lost tracks. :-) [ Reply to This ]
Wow Greatness &mdash 12/02/07 - 11:31:38 AM
Ahh wonderful tune Vic, the music alone is powerful and well conceived then vocals and lyrics top the cake

Hi Tom &mdash 12/02/07 - 01:29:00 PM
Your voice is getting EXCELLENT! &mdash 12/02/07 - 12:34:36 PM
You're really starting to put some muscle into those vocals, and the result is really impressive. A little hint of Peter Gabriel, but still Vic and Vic alone.
My guess is Pink Floyd... off the Wish You Were Here. OOooooOOOR... how about Klaatu off the Endangered Species album? It would really fit, and that would be a sly manuevre and a half! [ Reply to This ]
but &mdash 12/03/07 - 11:52:23 PM
That's IT! &mdash 12/04/07 - 08:27:25 AM
The Wall &mdash 12/03/07 - 10:59:59 AM
...definitely going with Pink Floyd

Nice.
It's those "Welcome to the Machine" guitar phrases from WYWH. And a nice tune in it's own right.

you &mdash 12/08/07 - 10:51:46 PM
hit it right on the head. originally i had some synths but they didn't cut it. so i faked it with guitars.
Thanks for the listen [ Reply to This ]
Wowsa &mdash 12/04/07 - 03:14:32 PM
What a killer track, Vic and you just nailed the sound of 'the boys,' right to the wall, which is the album I have to go with. The outro sounds as though it could segue right into, "Is There Anybody Out There?" [ Reply to This ]
Hi Lisa &mdash 12/04/07 - 09:18:23 PM
True, the band that I'm plundering here did segue into other songs on quite a few of their albums [ Reply to This ]
I dont believe in Lsp &mdash 12/04/07 - 09:19:45 PM
But I believe in Vic And if PF ever left off a wish U were here song this it it [ Reply to This ]
and I believe- &mdash 12/06/07 - 08:50:41 PM
and hope you stick around. wouldn't be the same with you leave a hole here. [ Reply to This ]
Well &mdash 12/05/07 - 11:02:58 PM
This is really awesome, whoever it is. It all definitely sounds familiar, but I'm going to have to go with The Wall. Which reminds me, I've got to break that album out again. The guitar leads have a real Gilmore feel to them, and the chord progression, song topic, mix, effects and slightly desperate vocals all make me think Floyd. Awesome. [ Reply to This ]
Hi Dave &mdash 12/06/07 - 08:53:19 PM
I do throw in all the tricks. But the nature of the lyrics point in the right direction [ Reply to This ]
Pink &mdash 12/06/07 - 10:00:33 PM
i'm sure i commented on this one, but it's not here! it vanished!
this must be the song that got replaced by Shine On You Freakin Diamond off of Floyd's Wish You Were Here
[ Reply to This ]
Top quality &mdash 12/07/07 - 02:09:23 AM
Good finished feel, a voice between lennon and ozborne (ozzy) and definetly earlier floyd feel, Piper at the gates of Dawn. [ Reply to This ]
This is... &mdash 12/07/07 - 07:01:45 AM
...more like what Pink Floyd would sound like if they were trying to be Vic Holman.
Typical Vic if you ask me -
Great,
