A sign dedicated to Roger Keith âSydâ Barrett in Bournemouth, England.
Syd Barrett SHINE ON
Matilda Mother is pivotal when considering Sydâs vision of childhood. Â Any notion of fey whimsy is constantly undercut by unsettling images which constantly rock the song out of its kindergarten complacency. Â In Sydâs child-world, security always comes with conditions attached, certainly is juxtaposed with poignancy. Â The gestation of the song was simple enough. Â LikeLetâs Roll Another One, the lyrics of Matilda Mother were hastily amended at the last minute. Â Syd simply replaced Hilaire Bellocâs words with his own and submitted them to the same metrical beat as the Cautionary Tales, even here though he still retained an element of mimicry. Â For the songâs opening line he minimally adapted the childrenâs poem âWhen Good King Arthur Ruled the Landâ to read âThere was a king who ruled the landâ.
What is original about the song is not the verses, which are largely drawn from the common stock of fairy-tale imagery, but the sudden urgent interjection of the chorus where Syd steps out his myth-world to plead, âWhy dâyer have to leave me there, hanging in my infant air | waitingâ, and then attempts, not wholly successfully, to resolve this air of restlessness with the reassuring and placatory, âYou only have to read the lines of scribbly black and everything shinesâ. Â The songâs opening verse is sung by Rick Wright, and Syd comes in for the chorus with that unnervingly strangulated plea. Â Wright sings the second chorus, the ambiguous âWondering and dreaming | the words had different meaningâ, which leaves the listener pondering whether Syd means that the words had different meaning when he was a child, or different meaning when transformed by the sensory bombardment of LSD.
What takes the song entirely out of its realm is Sydâs astonishing denouement in the final verse. âFor all that time spent in that roomâ shocks the listener out of reverie and transports us to somewhere more sinister and unsettling. Â The next line, âThe dollâs house darkness | old perfumeâ is without precedent in English pop song. Â We are invited, Alice in Wonderland-style, to peer in through tiny windows, to see beyond the props and into the shadow world. Â It evokes the synesthesia of scent memory and maternal warmth, the stale lingering perfume of lily-of-the-valley and maiden aunts. Â
