page 2  There are some oddities in the behaviour Syd Barrett had sometimes, that have let him to be a major icon for many people interested not only in music or in his deep lyrics. Trying to understand why, much has been speculated on his own feelings, or rather on his own so-called "mental states". But how Syd says he feels himself? In his song "Late Night" he says:  Inside me I feel alone and unreal And the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me  It's a feeling everyone may have experienced, but you have to go inside the song to understand the odd thing: he feels dually alone and funny, no matter if with someone or not.

From this easy way of a changeable duality, or from a feeling of loneliness, or from every feeling Syd has shown, especially to who knew him personally, we can start a journey to immerse ourselves in the lands Syd evokes with "Opel" to our own knowledge, while he searches for someone or something in his own land.

 Despite a sinuous cavalcade of chords with complex changes, in ‘Opel’ Syd is trying, finding and giving all at once. — Julian Palacios, Dark Globe
