I think they realize that. Wish You Were here was written in tribute to Syd, and people were theorizing that Dark Side, and The Wall both were to some degree as well.David Gilmour even mentioned 'our poor lost brother Syd' when they did the British music awards.
The first time I ever ingested psilocybin I was sitting in the woods on top of a hill watching the sky with piper of the gates of dawn on. I'll never forget that night. Words can't describe.

Lets just take a moment to think where we would be musically without Syd founding Pink Floyd. I would just like to say thanks to him, and RIP.

We will always have his music, most men never have a chance to reach as many people as he had, the Madcap will always be laughing.

Syd Barrett is an amazing artist. This is the saddest I've been in a while.

@jrigallof course the line "there's someone in my head and it's not me" probably has to do with him too.The Wall is Water's baby and is all about him.
