"See Emily Play" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released as their second single on 16 June 1967 on the Columbia label. [7] Written by original frontman Syd Barrett, it was released as a non-album single, but appeared as the opening track of Pink Floyd, the US edition of the band's debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967).
The lyrics describe a pastoral and dream-like scene at Grantchester Meadows in Cambridgeshire, [4] close to where fellow band member David Gilmour lived at the time. [5] This type of pastoral ballad was typical of Roger Waters' compositional approach in the late sixties and early seventies.
