page 2  There are some oddities in the behaviour Syd Barrett showed sometimes, that has let him to be a major icon for many people interested not only in his articulate songwriting. Trying to understand it, 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 sad and witty, no matter if with someone or not.

From an easy concept of changeability like this duality, or from a feeling of loneliness, or from every feeling Syd has shown 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
