"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part composition recorded by English rock band Pink Floyd written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, which was first performed on their 1974 French tour and appeared in their 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song is written about and dedicated to founding member Syd Barrett, who departed from the band in 1968 after dealing with mental health problems and substance abuse.
The song originated from a riff composed by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour and was later developed by him, bassist Roger Waters and pianist Richard Wright. It was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett.
Barrett was eased out of the band in 1968 due to his substance abuse and deteriorating mental health, which impaired his ability to integrate with the other band members in creating and performing music. He was replaced by his former school friend Gilmour, who had initially been brought in as second guitarist. The remaining members of the band felt guilty about having removed him, but although they admired Barrett's creativity, they were concerned about his severe mental decline and felt it had been necessary. The track was originally intended to be a side-long composition, like "Atom Heart Mother" and "Echoes", but was ultimately split into two parts and used to bookend the album, with other newly composed material acting as a bridge.
