Pink Floyd - Bike

"Bike" es una canción de la banda británica de rock psicodélico Pink Floyd, y esta incluida en su álbum debut The Piper at the Gates of Dawn en 1967. En la canción, Syd Barrett le muestra a una chica su bicicleta (que tomó prestada), una capa, un ratón sin hogar al que nombra "Gerald", y un clan de hombres de gengibre - porque ella "encaja en su mundo". Hacia el final de la canción, le ofrece ir a un "cuarto de melodías musicales". El verso final es una combinación de osciladores, relojes, gongs, campanas, un violín, y otros sonidos editados con técnicas de grabación; es aparentemente el "otro cuarto", siguiendo la temática de la canción. El fin de la canción se desvanece con un sonido similar al de una risa maniaca con sonidos de pato. La canción fue escrita para la entonces-novia de Barrett, Jenny Spires. Ella también es mencionada en la canción "Lucifer Sam", que también esta en The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

"Bike" is a song by British psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, featured on their 1967 debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. In the song, Syd Barrett's lyrical subject shows a girl, his bike (which he borrowed), a cloak, a homeless mouse that he calls Gerald, and a clan of gingerbread men—because she "fits in with [his] world". With each repetition of the chorus, a sudden percussive noise is heard similar to the firing of two gunshots. Towards the end of the song, he offers to take her into a "room of musical tunes". The final verse is followed by an instrumental section that is a piece of musique concrète: a noisy collage of oscillators, clocks, gongs, bells, a violin, and other sounds edited with tape techniques, apparently the "other room" spoken of in the song and giving the impression of the turning gears of a bicycle. The ending of the song fades out with a tape loop of the band members laughing reversed and played at double speed. The song was written for Barrett's then girlfriend, Jenny Spires. She is also mentioned in the song "Lucifer Sam", which is also on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
