| | Wish you were here Lyrics Artist(Band):Pink Floyd
Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? And cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Review about Wish you were here My thoughts | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/29/09 This song about loss and mourning manages to tell some hard truths with the softening tonic of familiar chords and warm acoustic guitar. The opening questions cut right to it - does it matter if someone’s gone to Heaven or Hell when the simple reality is that they are gone? The final stanza invocation of "the same old fears" brings the meditation back to the inevitability of death. ! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/1/09 I think personaly all who think that Pink Floyds song 'Wish you were here' isnt about Syd Barrett when he went insane from to much drugs dont know much about Pink Floyd. Roger Waters has said himself that they all sang this song because of how after Syd left they all wished he was back. This song touches people on a emotional level and I think that it should never be re-made as this song would never have the same effect as it does being sang by Pink Floyd. Pink Floyds songs have made history on the world and there will never be a song that could out these masterpieces they have wrote. I grew up my whole life listening to this music with my dad on vinal as it sounds so much better than on cd. Im now 15 and I still listen to Pink Floyd with my dad on vinal and I even have it on my ipod. If only I was alive when they were around and together as one, that would have made my life. This band could never be replaced by anyone other. Modernized Man | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/21/09 Maybe this is just me, but I believe this song is about society, and our personal interrelationships within society. It is speaking about how we traded a real life creating what we need for survival ourselves for a modernized mechanized preform factory produced inauthentic living dead life. We traded nature for a man made urban construct. We cut down the forests in exchange for growing deserts. We fell in line with our religions and governments and corporate beauracuracies, to pay for the wars of profit they wage and resultingly become trapped in the conditioned psychological cage they have constructed. Through all of this we try and cling to our "loving" relationships with our family and life partners, but the damage has already been done and we, the once free willed mammal is no more than a killer whale imprisioned in a Marineland fish tank. Don't believe me? Investigate the lyrics of other songs on this album (Welcome to the Machine) and the album Animals. Pink Floyd almost always sang about society, not themselves. Honestly | Reviewer: AXEL | 8/16/09 Are you all stupid, For one David Gilmour is a self conceded ass hole, Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here are both albums about Sid Barret, with his Schizophrenia, and his life respectively, David Gilmour said that shit in his book because he wanted credit for the work of Roger Waters, did you see the crap he made butchering the name of Pink Floyd? A journey of the soul | Reviewer: Ric | 7/12/09 Every time I here this masterpiece I reflect on my life & relationships lost. Relationships with others as well as myself. Such a touching inspirational work of art. Perhaps will be Pink Floyd's most enduring composition. meanings | Reviewer: breetaknee | 6/10/09 there is multiple meanings behind every floyd song, but i honestly dissagree that this song is about the band members losing themselves in their fame. thats just retarded, no offense. but who cares what its about, everyone has their own meaning behind this song, and thats all that matters. fix | Reviewer: josue | 4/12/09 this song is actually about themselves. After the fame they had received from "dark side of the moon" many of the band became somewhat strained from what their music actually meant to them, and life in general. Basically, fame got to them, and they needed to find themselves again.David Gilmour has stated this in the "Making of" of DSOTM. Wow | Reviewer: KoR-tAnI | 3/25/09 This is an amaizing song. It's about Syd Barrett,,one of the founders of Pink Floyd who had a drug induced break down a few years after the band got started. The band wrote it because they wished he was still with the band. It's sad that Syd had to leave the band. In reality...Pink Floyd wouldn't be what they are today with out Syd. We love and miss you Syd:) Wish you were here~ | Reviewer: Canjica | 2/22/09 This song is soothing when your feeling down or if your deep in thought about things. This song means so much to me and the lyrics really touch me on a emotional level. Makes me wish the one i love with all my heart was with me right now... This song is a masterpeice and should never be forgotten or re-made ever as its perfect as is. um | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/6/09 It's a very beautiful song, I've gone through phases over the years, but it's always stayed at my #1 song. I don't think I would ever write such beautiful lyrics, nor sing them. The music is rather simple, but that adds to the effect, I guess. All in all, a beautiful song, that I think everyone should hear once in their life time.
