1967 single by Pink Floyd

The song was originally titled "Snowing".[3] Barrett`s lyrics describe a childlike game with fantastical imagery, including a line "here we go, ever so high".[4]
Single
"Flaming" was also the third US Pink Floyd single (Tower 378) and was released by Tower Records, but it did not chart. The mono US single mix of "Flaming" is slightly edited from other stereo or mono versions of the recording. This US single was released in place of the UK single, "Apples and Oranges" (backed with "Paint Box"), which had then just failed to break into the UK charts.[5]
It was the first of two US Pink Floyd singles released on Tower that were not released on a single in the UK. The other US single that was not released in the UK was "Let There Be More Light" b/w "Remember a Day" (Tower 440).[6]
Live performances
A live version of "Flaming" (at that time known as "Snowing") was played in London`s All Saints Hall in 1966.[7] The song remained a live staple until the end of 1968, with David Gilmour singing the lead vocal after Barrett left the band early in the year.[8] A version performed at the Paradiso, Amsterdam on 31 May was broadcast on NTS,[9] while a performance in L`Antene du Chapiteau du Kremlin-Bicêtre, Paris, on 31 October was broadcast on ORTF.[10]
Personnel
- Syd Barrett – lead vocals, electric guitar, 12-string acoustic guitar, vocal percussion, wind-up toys
- Rick Wright – Farfisa organ, tack piano, Hammond organ, Lowrey organ, backing vocals, vocal percussion, wind-up toys
- Roger Waters – bass guitar, slide whistle, backing vocals, vocal percussion, wind-up toys
- Nick Mason – drums, finger cymbals, wind-up toys
