Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

submitted by Zifnab

Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here performed live on their Pulse tour in 1994.

"Wish You Were Here" is the title track on Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here. The song's lyrics encompass writer Roger Waters's feelings of alienation from other people and himself, as well as disillusionment with music. Like most of the album, it partly refers to former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett and his fall from reality. However, unlike the Shine on You Crazy Diamond suite, Wish You Were Here is universal: it is directed at anyone who is missing a special person from their life. The main riff came to David Gilmour while playing his acoustic guitar in Abbey Road Studios. Gilmour then taught the riff to Waters, who was impressed. They both collaborated to finish the song, as Waters had already written some lyrics. In 2004, the song was ranked #316 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
