SydBarrett.com’s Story Behind The Song (https://www.sydbarrett.com/featured_songs/here-i-go-by-lee-harris-co-founder-of-the-saucerful-of-secrets/) added Lee’s thoughts on the day that would have been Syd’s birthday. Lee talks about why the song is a significant one for him, and why he chose it for the website’s feature, noting that he found it “a funny, charming and, for Syd, conventional song that is probably quite the opposite to what most people think of when they think of him”. Lee goes into some detail on the origins, and the recording of the song, in the article. Adding to the interest and illumination of the song, Lee got in contact with Willie Wilson, who played drums with David Gilmour in Jokers Wild (and later, alongside Nick Mason on The Wall tour). Willie then fills in some information that hasn’t been public knowledge before. Whilst writing the piece, and in light of Willie’s comments, Lee asked David Gilmour about it, who double checked the multi-tracks and added his own comments about the creation of the track.
