I lost my daughter almost 1 year ago, 12/09/19. She was 21 and a hero. She was an organ donor and saved 3 lives. Her name was Briar and I miss her every second of every day. How I wish she was here.
That’s heartbreaking to hear, you must be so hurt but so proud. I’m a father of two girls but one of them went to heaven. I feel so blessed to have my little girl here but every day feel the pain of losing my other one. Brings a lot home this song does
I grew up with Pink Floyd due to my Mother's love of them. My Mother battled various illnesses throughout her life and when I was older and she was in a solid state of health, she surprised my brother and I with The Australian Pink Floyd tickets for a Chicago show. It was the highlight of my life to see my Mother sing, cry, dance and hug my brother and I during this song. I learned guitar and mastered this song with my brother. I play Floyd for her every year on her birthday and cherish my Mothers life through the beauty this song has to offer. I miss you Mom, I wish you were here.
kurt cowan man that was really touching. Just today I singed this song in my brother’s matrimony and he was playing the “Gilmour’s guitar”. It was one of the happiest moments of my whole life. This song have the capacity of get the most amazing feelings out of a person when its singed. Greetings from Chile.
@@prakhar9998 To me it means that nobody has any idea what they're doing in life whatsoever, but if you're lucky enough, you'll meet someone who you just mesh with very well. So when you're with that person, it's like you're two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. Then one of you will die and it will be so utterly devastating that you'll almost wish you'd never met them in the first place. But that's life. Life hurts. Enjoy the good moments while you can and just be prepared for it to all be ripped away from you one day.
Wish you were here is so powerful. It means different things to different people but it means something to everyone. A truly brilliant masterpiece and gift.

My beautiful husband died 16 months ago. He was only 57. I struggle every single shitty day to try to move on. Wish You Were Here has kept me going. We are/were huge Floyd fans. I thank you for amazing music and The Wall. There will never be another composition like this. I pray to God every day to pass on to my husband that “I Wish You Were Here” 😢😭😣😭😢
Hang in there Kathy. If you need someone to listen with you, I'm here. I lost my wife in 2003 at age of 43. Just call out for me: Oi' where's the fucking bar John!
I've lost alot of people I'm my short 37 years. Grandparents, mom, sister, best friend, cousin, many other friends. And other relatives. But I lost my father in November and I've been stuck in a rut ever since. When u say you struggle every single shitty day and try to move on I totally understand. I truly hope & pray you have found some peace. I know it sucks but I'm sure he wouldn't want you to just exist. I hope you found happiness in everyday life. I'm currently looking for mine. Hang strong.
I have convinced myself that I deserve a cello. It is the instrument that I first desired to play, but my school did not have enough students interested in orchestra. So I started on French Horn, quickly moved to Trombone (the F horn was a poor rental), a Roth I wish I had kept. I taught myself trumpet, I dabbled in piano/keyboard composition, played baritone. Tried flute for a while and clarinet for a while and mandolin for while. I play guitar in private. I met Joseph Fagel, a cellist, his wife Violet, an operatic singer in Toulon France. He played for me on his 1700s cello. Its volume suggested an amplifier! I have yet to lay my hands on a cello. Violin was a no go for me when I tried. At 68, this video is telling me to get a cello. I hope my dogs understand the cello better than they did the harmonicas.
My dad had PTSD from fighting in the Bosnian war, he was the greatest man I'll ever know, a true hero. He died on my birthday, 02/24/2016, from the physical abuse he endured because of his PTSD... Stari moj, I really wish you were here...
Mr. Black Fire I’m very sorry for you. words can not explain the pain you suffer. I lost my dad in December 18. It still hurts so much, I have no words. Keep him in best memory and listen to the song! A big hug from Germany.
My Dad passed away in 2015. He left me a bunch of old Floyd vinyls. I bought a turntable and was totally blown away by the music. Thank you, Dad. Wish you were here...
grew up hating classic rock because that is all my step father played. We didn’t get along for the most part. He was an alcoholic and I considered him selfish for his addiction. He passed away a year ago. And it opened my eyes to his struggles and made me realize I had so much to thank him for. Once he passed all I could listen to is classic rock. It’s like I felt connected to him and now I have so much love for this band along with Zeppelin.. I remember him playing this on the guitar as a child- how I wish he was here.. wish I could hear him play this one more time. Thank you Pink Floyd for helping me get through the toughest time of my life.
To make the song even more emotional. The song is contributed to Syd Barret, a former leadsinger and writer of the band in the early days. But Syd didn't like world how it was back them and also had trouble cooping with his artist fame. As a reaction he got addicted to LSD. Shine On Your Crazy Diamon is especially written for Syd Barret. See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_(Pink_Floyd_song)
So, so you think you can tell 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? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And 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 you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
My school teacher died of covid-19 few days ago . He was the most beloved person in our school ❤️ This song was the last thing he Posted on his Facebook timeline by captioning it as "if wishes were horeses, beggars would ride". I really miss those games we played together and those laughs we shared. I really wish you were here . 🌻❤️
I just think this is the most amazing version of one of the best songs ever written. Reading the comments and seeing how fucking viscerally meaningful it is to do many people just makes me want to cry. Funny thing is, I lost my dad to cancer, but this song isn't about that for me. Just a beautiful fucking song. Maybe the best song ever written. I mean musically, not just lyrically. Dave Gulmour must be the most expressive guitarist. This is the pinnacle.
I feel very similar. I keep coming back to this song year after year and the incredible listening experience combined with seeing how much others feel so strongly about this song is beyond fascinating.
Today is exactly 10 years since my mother passed away from cancer.. I remember playing and singing this song to her through all my childhood to adulthood, it was our song that connected us deeply. Now, after she has passed away, this song has even deeper meaning to me, I'll play it every year on the same day till I live. Rest in peace mother.
Acid caused me problems and a 30yr psychosis 18tabs of a cocktail of meds stop the epilepsy,Bipolar ..et all BUT im alive enjoy my music .I Grew up with the Floyd first heard Arnold Lane about 1966 12 then and that was it a Floyd Gypsy.enjoy life and no bad vibes and 40,100,765. not bad for old Hippies.
Acid hit me pretty hard too! funny that, although after asking Jesus to fix me, life's been great. Initially getting sorted out was hard, the whole bipolar thing can throw you, but my wife and kids tell me I'm ok now...
looking back on 50+ yrs of life, the words, "Wish You Were Here" have a totally different meaning to me now than they did many yrs ago....... looking back to see some friends i will never see again and go back to places that just dont exsist anymore... MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL....
I never got the impact of The Sounds of Silence until I watched Disturbed's cover. Wish You Were Here is my favorite song to play or play to. I reminds me of all that is lost and all that is kept of your life relations.
I know what this song is about but it always makes me think about my dog. She really was a member of our family, had such a kind heart. Her death was the worst day of my life, when I had to carry her to the vet to put her to sleep. Always brings tears to my eyes. Yet Im happy that she had a good life and gave so much love to us
I bought a Guitar simply to learn to play this song. I have almost mastered it but not quite. I'm not saying i won't play other songs, but its this one that got me motivated to learn guitar at 53 years old. Simply outstanding the way he plays. Keep Rocked David!!!!!
I lost my mom when I was 21, about 45 years ago, then my dad was gone a few years later. After my sister passed from cancer I decided to learn this song. Had the privilege of seeing Pink Floyd during their 1973 and 1975 tours. David Gilmour shaped how I wanted to play guitar. I play Wish You Were Here and sing to them on their remembrance days each year.
This video is what made me want to learn guitar. I'm only a year in but I pick it up everyday. I sit and play at my mom & sister's grave. I haven't learned the last two solos but I can get through the song. And finally after a year I can play it with some feeling. I wish I could have seen them live!
Absolute proof when you are a great musician, you can completely strip down to bare basics and no audio engineering yet sound even more amazing than the full compliment the original recording was even some 30 years later. Gilmour never ceases to amaze me and gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes simply hearing this magic. Most amazing experience to see him in concert, one I'll cherish til my dying days. Dedicating this song to Kiki, truly wishing you were here with us to start college. 💜😪
My best friend died of cancer last Year at the age of 58.This song was shot on it’s cremation with a photo collage on the background. It brings back beautiful memories and still moves my heart. Rest in peace I will never forget You.
My best freiend died last year too, of cancer, we were both 50. I discovered this song recently and have it planned for my furneral which I dedicate too him. Miss him badly, we were like brothers, although chalk and cheese.
My dad introduced to to Pink Floyd among most of the best things in life. Used to mess with me when I was being a smartass teen, he’d start singing “so you think you can tell....” Fortunately, or unfortunately, I can barely do anything without him popping in my head. I can almost hear his voice even now “no no don’t play this one, play that other version from their X concert, and after this there’s this other song you have to listen to. Not while you’re driving, get home first”. Wish you were here dad.
Stella Lymbouras Super comment,I just had a conversation yesterday about similar thing's,I never got on well with my father going up,I swore to never take on any of his traits,yet despite me I notice I do similar thing's often,not the bad stuff,but he was anal about getting thing's right,like what terms truly mean etc,I find I correct others for such things,and at some point it dawned on me,OMG I'm turning into my father,however I have forgiven him long ago,and we have a much better relationship with him now I understand a bit more of his mindset,in his own way he tried to show me the correct way to behave,even if he didn't always do so himself,though I put that down to his drinking at that time,which he stopped doing 15 or more year's ago.Anyway sorry this went on so long,just your comment stirred me to reply,tour dad seems like he was cool,for this I'm glad,and sorry he is not here for you today,I'm sure he watches over you still however.
mikaveli I’m now a parent too and I assure you, all parents want what’s best it just comes down to what they’ve known in their lives in regards to how they’ll be able to teach/provide to their kids. Also, we tend to forget that our parents are human right? Try to maintain a good relationship with your dad no matter what. I drifted away for a while doing my own thing thinking I don’t need my parents and thinking I know better and man I regret it!
I listen to my Pink Floyd music on a daily basis. I got my first album when I was nine, I am fifty now and this music never, never, never gets old. You David and the band were truly gifts to the music world that will never be equaled or forgotten. Thank you for all the fabulous music.
I am the biggest pink floyd / David gilmour fan. My entire room is pink floyd. David is my whole life. Hearing any live performance makes me sob. I love pink floyd with all my heart. My dream is to just see David in concert one time.
Even though he's sung this song more times than we can imagine , he still puts his heart and soul into singing it. That is an artist , not a performer.
I remember the first time I heard "Wish You Were Here". My 2 little kids in the back of my '74 VW Bug, the sound began with speaker separation and scratchy radio and then I heard the guitar and said Out Loud "That sounds like Pink Floyd!" My daughter said "Mummy, of course it is" and that was the beginning of my love affair with David Gilmour, Roger Waters et al, including the other fish in the fishbowl, Syd Barrett. Their music transcends the age, you can be 2 or 102 and if you're a sentient being with a deep need for music in your heart, look no further. David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist of all time, and Brain Damage (from Dark Side, of course) & Time ("and then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun") just can't be ignored, they burrow their way into my heart & head, no matter how many times I've heard them. And they haven't sold out, miracles do happen.
+thewhuthut Love your comment. Some bands you hear just once and once is enough. Your hooked. I have many many favourites but always come back to Floyd. No compromise no BS just pure musical talent.
+thewhuthut This particular performance of this particular song is my favorite version bar none. I have walked through life missing lost friends, and this song (along with Cam's Burning House) is balm for those losses. Truly a universal song for all of our hard times
David Gilmour is one of my very favorite human beings. This man, along with his bandmates, has made the greatest and most beautiful music I've ever heard. He is the greatest guitar player I've ever heard. And he is an extremely humble, honest, giving, and charitable man. He is probably the only celebrity I would go out of my way to meet in person just to tell him how grateful I am for his very existence.
It's so sad yet beautiful that a lot of us use this song to remember our lost loved ones. I lost my dad 22 years ago, I was just 4, and I always dedicate this song to him when I sing it, it's one of the reasons why it's my favourite song ever
One of the best parts of reading the comments while listening to these masterpieces is seeing the young people who have stumbled on these songs from something. I can almost close my eyes and share the experience again for the first time. This music is amazing and timeless, cheers all.
28 years ago today, we lost you. I was 15, you were 50. I wish you knew your amazing grandkids. I wish they knew their legendary grandfather. I wish you were here...
This song truly helps so much w grief ....nothing else helps but I swear to God this song has never let me down It is like an arm that goes around you that cloaks you w understanding and offers comfort . Organic Music art and free thought need to be protected at all costs
This song soothes my soul so much ever since losing my our dog Joey and now my husband is dying after 9 years of progression of severe Alzheimer’s . He loved this song too . David you are one of the best guitar players and moving lyrics … peace everyone ❤️❤️❤️
This song was about Water's father who died in the war...
8 лет назад+6
Every fucking song Waters writes is about Daddy not coming home from the War. He wasn't even killed or anything, he just couldn't bear to come home from one nasty shit storm (WWII) to such a whiny, spoiled little English bastard. Of course, his Mother spun him that old "Daddy was a hero" bullshit, in an attempt to protect him from the brutal truth, and at least give Roger a chance to develop normally without the guilt of knowing his father was a Sonder-kommando at Birkenwald Camp. Also, to protect herself from the shame of collaborating with the enemy, and being branded (quite rightly so, imo) a whore. How I wish the whole Waters family had bunked off to Germany after the War. Then maybe Syd wouldn't have been bullied into meltdown by that rotten, toxic bastard, Roger "There's only room for one Roger in this band, so we're going to call you Syd" fuckin' Waters.
I love how Gilmour was not changed by fame, women, drugs, alcohol or anything. He is still the humble great musician he was, when he joined Pink Floyd.
This song is the one that motivated me to pick up a guitar and learn how to play. This was the first real song I learned how to play. I cant tell you how many hours I spent practicing the chords. Over and over and over until I finally got it right. Especially the first part.
+John T not sure about rare.. time is true and it kicks you in the ass , needle damage done neil young another , Scott weiland in Velvet Revolver and Fall to pieces, many many more imo the great songs are directly about being human and reminds you of that/
Not that it matters too much but being 22 and in this generation, I still love this type of music. I thank my step father for bringing me into the world of classic rock
It DOES matter and I'm really happy for you to know about this. Not that there isn't a lot of great music being created today; you just have to dig a little.
This song breaks my heart because it reminds me so much of my son who was still born in May of this year (2017). I have listened to wish you were here everyday since loosing him and it does help me cope. A big thank you to pink Floyd for creating such a beautiful yet heartbreaking song.
oh hun im sorry to hear that i can't possibility imagine the pain your feeling my sincere sympathy to you & your family take care over Xmas i wish you all the best x
M Duffy i cant imagine such a lost, your comment make cry and think so much, i hope you find solace, i have a nice and a cant barely think how my life be without her.
M Duffy ,my heart breaks for you, BUT you had him in your belly for the short time he was here, maybe this horrible world wasn't good enough for him to enter; my heart is bleeding for you!!! Don't give up!!!! You meant the world to him x xxxx
So, so you think you can tell 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? 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 And how we found The same old fears Wish you were here
My friend Eric passed away a couple of days ago after a long battle with cancer. It pains me that I get to carry on and he’s no longer with us. Eric, I wish you were here. 1983~2024
And I've been playing it for near on thirty years, and with a 12 string as it should be, when i have had one, as I do at this moment, lol And it Never Gets Old! Unlike so many of other faves that do!
Most brilliant song ever. I play guitar and sing for myself, and this was and is my favourite ever since late 70s when I first heard it and learnt to play. Absoulutely the best song ever.
Lyric So, so you think you can tell 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? 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.

I lost my brother on May 17th 2020 due to heart failure and this was the first song he learned how to play in the guitar ............. He was 44 years old, so young and full of life ........ his coffin was closed and he was buried while Pink Floyd played and sang Wish you were here, one of his favorite bands ever ....... Miss u Gu !! Love you forever!!! wish you were here.............
I saw a youtube comment that was so beautiful, it made me teary-eyed. 🥺 "In 1972, as a teenager, I sat in a dark room, smoking a joint, listening to Pink Floyd on my headphones. Here I am, 50 years later, doing the exact same thing. I'm blessed to have lived during the time of Pink Floyd."
I listen to this when life gets difficult. I am a full time care giver to my wife who suffers from the evil disease of dementia. No one can feel the pain that you go through.
This song makes me live my love stories once again, the moment when somebody really matters and you can't help being taken my these overwhelming feelings...
Yes to the question "anyone still here in 2019" Dropped back in to hear/watch again. I still cannot understand the thumbs down! for such a beautiful piece...Brilliantly beautiful
It's extremely hard to listen to this song. I lost my dearest and closest friend last year on Christmas morning. This song was played for him at his funeral. I can't help but break down in tears by hearing this song. Can't thank Gilmour any more for creating a beautiful song. Ik that my friend loved hearing this song that was played for him at his funeral. R.I.P jason😭😭😭
John Brown you life long enough you eventually loose it all the pain puts the light in your eyes it let's you really feel the smiles. Moments are all we have and memories make them great ones. My most sincere condolences.
I dedicate this song to my daughter Jade 23 years old who left us last november for a better world... Rest in Peace my Jadoune xxx . and like Dale who lost his son Max, Wish You Were Here. Will never forget you !

But I lost my father in November and I've been stuck in a rut ever since. When u say you struggle every single shitty day and try to move on I totally understand.

KIDS REACT TO PINK FLOYD PART 1 AND 2 ON RUclips
I have convinced myself that I deserve a cello. It is the instrument that I first desired to play, but my school did not have enough students interested in orchestra. So I started on French Horn, quickly moved to Trombone (the F horn was a poor rental), a Roth I wish I had kept. I taught myself trumpet, I dabbled in piano/keyboard composition, played baritone. Tried flute for a while and clarinet for a while and mandolin for while. I play guitar in private.
I met Joseph Fagel, a cellist, his wife Violet, an operatic singer in Toulon France. He played for me on his 1700s cello. Its volume suggested an amplifier!
I have yet to lay my hands on a cello. Violin was a no go for me when I tried.
At 68, this video is telling me to get a cello. I hope my dogs understand the cello better than they did the harmonicas.
One of the best songs in rock history.

Man that cello part is absolutely gorgeous. Such a minor addition but totally changes the song
I've lost my dad past week and my dad loved this song so much...
how I wish you were here dad I miss you so much
Mr. Black Fire sorry to hear
Let this song help you carry on
Mr. Black Fire I’m very sorry for you. words can not explain the pain you suffer. I lost my dad in December 18. It still hurts so much, I have no words. Keep him in best memory and listen to the song! A big hug from Germany.
Ci sarà per te per sempre anche se in modo diverso ...
Sorry for your loss buddy
My Dad passed away in 2015. He left me a bunch of old Floyd vinyls. I bought a turntable and was totally blown away by the music. Thank you, Dad. Wish you were here...
I'm sorry for your loss brother I'm sure your dad was a great guy
grew up hating classic rock because that is all my step father played. We didn’t get along for the most part. He was an alcoholic and I considered him selfish for his addiction. He passed away a year ago. And it opened my eyes to his struggles and made me realize I had so much to thank him for. Once he passed all I could listen to is classic rock. It’s like I felt connected to him and now I have so much love for this band along with Zeppelin.. I remember him playing this on the guitar as a child- how I wish he was here.. wish I could hear him play this one more time. Thank you Pink Floyd for helping me get through the toughest time of my life.
What a good story you tell, i have a similar one.
Hope you both are ok. And thank you for sharing your stories, makes me more careful with every person in my life. :)
Wow this is a very insightful comment and relatable for me. Thank you for sharing.
Check out Mike & the Mechanics - "The Living Years".
To make the song even more emotional. The song is contributed to Syd Barret, a former leadsinger and writer of the band in the early days. But Syd didn't like world how it was back them and also had trouble cooping with his artist fame. As a reaction he got addicted to LSD. Shine On Your Crazy Diamon is especially written for Syd Barret. See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_(Pink_Floyd_song)
So, so you think you can tell 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?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And 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 you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Ray Ursillo 👍
Ray Ursillo Yes, Yes, Yes, not always, what should I tell? Oohhhh...
Are there other crazy people like me which listen to this song about 20 or 30 times again and again ?
Yes
You really gotta ask?
Absolutely!!!
That is exactly how you should listen to it..
Yes
My school teacher died of covid-19 few days ago .
He was the most beloved person in our school ❤️
This song was the last thing he Posted on his Facebook timeline by captioning it as "if wishes were horeses, beggars would ride". I really miss those games we played together and those laughs we shared.
I really wish you were here .

This year fucking sucks
I'm so sorry u all had to experience his loss, but u gained wonderful memories to hold in ur hearts forever. Peace be with u all

I just think this is the most amazing version of one of the best songs ever written. Reading the comments and seeing how fucking viscerally meaningful it is to do many people just makes me want to cry. Funny thing is, I lost my dad to cancer, but this song isn't about that for me. Just a beautiful fucking song. Maybe the best song ever written. I mean musically, not just lyrically. Dave Gulmour must be the most expressive guitarist. This is the pinnacle.
It’s by far my favourite performance of this song-beautifully paced and phrased, with subtle and defined vocal work.
I feel very similar. I keep coming back to this song year after year and the incredible listening experience combined with seeing how much others feel so strongly about this song is beyond fascinating.
So wonderful. 36 million get to enjoy this instead of a few thousand. Glorious.
Absolutely agree, so great to be able to see/hear this performance!!!
7 months later its at 44 mil veiws
His voice and beautiful guitar playing are still just magic.

Today is exactly 10 years since my mother passed away from cancer.. I remember playing and singing this song to her through all my childhood to adulthood, it was our song that connected us deeply. Now, after she has passed away, this song has even deeper meaning to me, I'll play it every year on the same day till I live. Rest in peace mother.
❤️
Keep that love going strong.

The Soundtrack of my youth.When I hear this song,it's again 1978 and I am 16 dressed in Hippiecloths.
Acid caused me problems and a 30yr psychosis 18tabs of a cocktail of meds stop the epilepsy,Bipolar ..et all BUT im alive enjoy my music .I Grew up with the Floyd first heard Arnold Lane about 1966 12 then and that was it a Floyd Gypsy.enjoy life and no bad vibes and 40,100,765. not bad for old Hippies.
Acid hit me pretty hard too! funny that, although after asking Jesus to fix me, life's been great. Initially getting sorted out was hard, the whole bipolar thing can throw you, but my wife and kids tell me I'm ok now...
Susanne Buchholz Haha that's actually amazing. Can almost visualize it.
I love reading comments from older folks, talking about how songs like this take you back. Could read em all day.
+FELDER
Couldn't agree more!
Lost my Dad over 41 years ago and this song always reminds me of howmuch I miss him..."Wish you were here Dad..."
looking back on 50+ yrs of life, the words, "Wish You Were Here" have a totally different meaning to me now than they did many yrs ago....... looking back to see some friends i will never see again and go back to places that just dont exsist anymore... MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL....
I never got the impact of The Sounds of Silence until I watched Disturbed's cover. Wish You Were Here is my favorite song to play or play to. I reminds me of all that is lost and all that is kept of your life relations.
Gilmour the Great. Unbelievable guitar player and vocalist. Bless him forever…
I know what this song is about but it always makes me think about my dog. She really was a member of our family, had such a kind heart. Her death was the worst day of my life, when I had to carry her to the vet to put her to sleep. Always brings tears to my eyes. Yet Im happy that she had a good life and gave so much love to us
I feel ya.
I'm about to go through that this weekend.
@@defineboredom sorry to hear that!
What a feeling to be the second guitar player in David Gilmour band and play this song. He receives the most applause.
Who is the second guitar Player?
Guy Pratt. He also played the bass for Pink Floyd since the "Pulse"-Tour and now for Gilmour.
@@ingospannhoff7072 Of course. But my comment was that the second guitar player receives more applause than David himself in this performance.
Man he matched his voice perfectly with those notes on his guitar at the end of the song, so beautiful
21 years ago next week that my best friend passed away .. he is forever 28 and here i am turning 50 this year .miss you bud
I lost my brother yesterday...it feels like a nightmare I can't wake up from. I Love you Robson...I Wish you were here. I Will see you again.
Can’t imagine ever losing my brother….that’s really unfortunate ☹️
I bought a Guitar simply to learn to play this song. I have almost mastered it but not quite. I'm not saying i won't play other songs, but its this one that got me motivated to learn guitar at 53 years old. Simply outstanding the way he plays. Keep Rocked David!!!!!
+hammer 1963 the effort required the thumbs up. you go tiger ! :D
Same like me - there was a time when I wanted to play this for someone and this is the first song I started to play..
Me too but i cant get iy right I keep playing the original
I lost my mom when I was 21, about 45 years ago, then my dad was gone a few years later. After my sister passed from cancer I decided to learn this song. Had the privilege of seeing Pink Floyd during their 1973 and 1975 tours. David Gilmour shaped how I wanted to play guitar. I play Wish You Were Here and sing to them on their remembrance days each year.
This video is what made me want to learn guitar. I'm only a year in but I pick it up everyday. I sit and play at my mom & sister's grave. I haven't learned the last two solos but I can get through the song. And finally after a year I can play it with some feeling. I wish I could have seen them live!
I lost my very, very good friend Jackie three years ago; swept away by angels. I still love you Jack. God bless you.
Absolute proof when you are a great musician, you can completely strip down to bare basics and no audio engineering yet sound even more amazing than the full compliment the original recording was even some 30 years later. Gilmour never ceases to amaze me and gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes simply hearing this magic. Most amazing experience to see him in concert, one I'll cherish til my dying days. Dedicating this song to Kiki, truly wishing you were here with us to start college. 💜😪
+flutterbyu2 and jeans and a t-shirt, love it!

"what have we found?
The same old fears."
This is a great great song...
My best friend died of cancer last Year at the age of 58.This song was shot on it’s cremation with a photo collage on the background.
It brings back beautiful memories and still moves my heart. Rest in peace I will never forget You.
My best freiend died last year too, of cancer, we were both 50. I discovered this song recently and have it planned for my furneral which I dedicate too him. Miss him badly, we were like brothers, although chalk and cheese.
My fav version.. that smile says it all
My dad introduced to to Pink Floyd among most of the best things in life. Used to mess with me when I was being a smartass teen, he’d start singing “so you think you can tell....” Fortunately, or unfortunately, I can barely do anything without him popping in my head. I can almost hear his voice even now “no no don’t play this one, play that other version from their X concert, and after this there’s this other song you have to listen to. Not while you’re driving, get home first”. Wish you were here dad.
Stella Lymbouras - Loverly Stella, more so coz your a Cyp.. I’m more proud of your dad 😎
Your dad was right. Shine on you crazy diamond...
pink floyd dark side of the moon helped me thru some though times and through good times and I'm glad rock and roll is here to stay !
Stella Lymbouras Super comment,I just had a conversation yesterday about similar thing's,I never got on well with my father going up,I swore to never take on any of his traits,yet despite me I notice I do similar thing's often,not the bad stuff,but he was anal about getting thing's right,like what terms truly mean etc,I find I correct others for such things,and at some point it dawned on me,OMG I'm turning into my father,however I have forgiven him long ago,and we have a much better relationship with him now I understand a bit more of his mindset,in his own way he tried to show me the correct way to behave,even if he didn't always do so himself,though I put that down to his drinking at that time,which he stopped doing 15 or more year's ago.Anyway sorry this went on so long,just your comment stirred me to reply,tour dad seems like he was cool,for this I'm glad,and sorry he is not here for you today,I'm sure he watches over you still however.
mikaveli I’m now a parent too and I assure you, all parents want what’s best it just comes down to what they’ve known in their lives in regards to how they’ll be able to teach/provide to their kids. Also, we tend to forget that our parents are human right? Try to maintain a good relationship with your dad no matter what. I drifted away for a while doing my own thing thinking I don’t need my parents and thinking I know better and man I regret it!
I listen to my Pink Floyd music on a daily basis. I got my first album when I was nine, I am fifty now and this music never, never, never gets old. You David and the band were truly gifts to the music world that will never be equaled or forgotten. Thank you for all the fabulous music.
I'm only 28 years old ... I live in Brazil and I share the same feeling as your friend ... sorry for bad english

what're you saying??? your English is gooooood!!! : )...enjoy P. Floyd every time
Right on!
amen
Amen!!!!
I am the biggest pink floyd / David gilmour fan. My entire room is pink floyd. David is my whole life. Hearing any live performance makes me sob. I love pink floyd with all my heart. My dream is to just see David in concert one time.
Gotta agree, music so wonderful it brings tears of joy.
I'm not the biggest fan, but almost all of his musics touch me. Wish you carry on with your dreams =)
dear david, i wrote you but you still ain't calling...
I would love to see your room
Saw him at the Royal Albert Hall last year. Was a dream come true and one of the best nights of my life
Even though he's sung this song more times than we can imagine , he still puts his heart and soul into singing it. That is an artist , not a performer.
Lost my husband of 36 years 9 months ago this is one of the songs that take me back in time to when we were young. Love this one
I remember the first time I heard "Wish You Were Here". My 2 little kids in the back of my '74 VW Bug, the sound began with speaker separation and scratchy radio and then I heard the guitar and said Out Loud "That sounds like Pink Floyd!" My daughter said "Mummy, of course it is" and that was the beginning of my love affair with David Gilmour, Roger Waters et al, including the other fish in the fishbowl, Syd Barrett. Their music transcends the age, you can be 2 or 102 and if you're a sentient being with a deep need for music in your heart, look no further. David Gilmour is my favorite guitarist of all time, and Brain Damage (from Dark Side, of course) & Time ("and then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun") just can't be ignored, they burrow their way into my heart & head, no matter how many times I've heard them. And they haven't sold out, miracles do happen.
+thewhuthut Love your comment. Some bands you hear just once and once is enough. Your hooked. I have many many favourites but always come back to Floyd. No compromise no BS just pure musical talent.
+thewhuthut Well said!!!!!
spot on
+thewhuthut Yes yes yes!! They are wonderful and brilliant!
+thewhuthut This particular performance of this particular song is my favorite version bar none. I have walked through life missing lost friends, and this song (along with Cam's Burning House) is balm for those losses. Truly a universal song for all of our hard times
David Gilmour is one of my very favorite human beings. This man, along with his bandmates, has made the greatest and most beautiful music I've ever heard. He is the greatest guitar player I've ever heard. And he is an extremely humble, honest, giving, and charitable man. He is probably the only celebrity I would go out of my way to meet in person just to tell him how grateful I am for his very existence.
I started listening to this age 12. Now I'm 62 and am still listening..
It's so sad yet beautiful that a lot of us use this song to remember our lost loved ones. I lost my dad 22 years ago, I was just 4, and I always dedicate this song to him when I sing it, it's one of the reasons why it's my favourite song ever

One of the best parts of reading the comments while listening to these masterpieces is seeing the young people who have stumbled on these songs from something. I can almost close my eyes and share the experience again for the first time. This music is amazing and timeless, cheers all.
28 years ago today, we lost you. I was 15, you were 50. I wish you knew your amazing grandkids. I wish they knew their legendary grandfather. I wish you were here...
No words to describe. Just loved Dave and the song. David Gilmour is a living legend.
This song truly helps so much w grief ....nothing else helps but I swear to God this song has never let me down
It is like an arm that goes around you that cloaks you w understanding and offers comfort .
Organic Music art and free thought need to be protected at all costs
I'm so glad we have music
Hands down one of the most beautiful songs I have heard. Gets me teary every time. 💖 💔
Hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons cover of this ruclips.net/video/QXDxquIoLzM/видео.html
This song soothes my soul so much ever since losing my our dog Joey and now my husband is dying after 9 years of progression of severe Alzheimer’s . He loved this song too . David you are one of the best guitar players and moving lyrics … peace everyone ❤️❤️❤️
Man Syd must of been such a character to have a song of such caliber dedicated to him.
Technically a whole album dedicated to him
This song was about Water's father who died in the war...
Every fucking song Waters writes is about Daddy not coming home from the War. He wasn't even killed or anything, he just couldn't bear to come home from one nasty shit storm (WWII) to such a whiny, spoiled little English bastard. Of course, his Mother spun him that old "Daddy was a hero" bullshit, in an attempt to protect him from the brutal truth, and at least give Roger a chance to develop normally without the guilt of knowing his father was a Sonder-kommando at Birkenwald Camp. Also, to protect herself from the shame of collaborating with the enemy, and being branded (quite rightly so, imo) a whore. How I wish the whole Waters family had bunked off to Germany after the War.
Then maybe Syd wouldn't have been bullied into meltdown by that rotten, toxic bastard, Roger "There's only room for one Roger in this band, so we're going to call you Syd" fuckin' Waters.
I hope you have a positive outlet to vent you're anger. Chill bro
My mistake I was always under the impression it was dedicated to Syd.
I love how Gilmour was not changed by fame, women, drugs, alcohol or anything. He is still the humble great musician he was, when he joined Pink Floyd.
yeah honestly im just 9 and i luv: have a cigar dark side of the moon
hey you mother and in any tounge
Michal Bukvai no he was changed stupid.
Chucky Oneil
Denise Dillon yes?
Just agreeing w/ you.
"For a lead role in a cage?"... When a line from a rock song can make you take stock in your entire life, you know it's powerful..
This song is the one that motivated me to pick up a guitar and learn how to play. This was the first real song I learned how to play. I cant tell you how many hours I spent practicing the chords. Over and over and over until I finally got it right. Especially the first part.
This is what it's called true talent : complete mastery of both music theory and playing techniques , all combined with deep lyrics.

how can one month have two years? you travelling in time?
Reasons I love Gilmore: 1 The grace he showed when taking over from Syd Barrett. 2. Supporting a young Kate Bush. 3. Growing old well
One of those rare songs that means what it means to be human.
+John T not sure about rare.. time is true and it kicks you in the ass , needle damage done neil young another , Scott weiland in Velvet Revolver and Fall to pieces, many many more imo the great songs are directly about being human and reminds you of that/
Is is always a great pleasure to watch Sir David Gilmour playing, singing and smiling! Thank You!

Not that it matters too much but being 22 and in this generation, I still love this type of music. I thank my step father for bringing me into the world of classic rock
It DOES matter and I'm really happy for you to know about this. Not that there isn't a lot of great music being created today; you just have to dig a little.
This song breaks my heart because it reminds me so much of my son who was still born in May of this year (2017). I have listened to wish you were here everyday since loosing him and it does help me cope. A big thank you to pink Floyd for creating such a beautiful yet heartbreaking song.
oh hun im sorry to hear that i can't possibility imagine the pain your feeling my sincere sympathy to you & your family take care over Xmas i wish you all the best x
Jody Beeton I feel it everyday, we all do. Thank you we get through it by being there for one another.

So, so you think you can tell
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?
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
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

This is lyrics, this poetry, this what is going to survive in a thousand years. Just an artist,his guitar, and a timeless gem.
Didn't know Chigurh had such a good taste in music.
I doubt it lasts 200.
I swear this song gets better and better with every listening.
And I've been playing it for near on thirty years, and with a 12 string as it should be, when i have had one, as I do at this moment, lol And it Never Gets Old! Unlike so many of other faves that do!
What strikes me, amongst many things in this brilliant performance, is how little his voice has changed from the original recording.

Most brilliant song ever. I play guitar and sing for myself, and this was and is my favourite ever since late 70s when I first heard it and learnt to play. Absoulutely the best song ever.

I lost my brother in July. He was a master guitarist his whole life. There was no one he respected more than David Gilmour. Wish you were here John.
I lost my brother on May 17th 2020 due to heart failure and this was the first song he learned how to play in the guitar ............. He was 44 years old, so young and full of life ........ his coffin was closed and he was buried while Pink Floyd played and sang Wish you were here, one of his favorite bands ever ....... Miss u Gu !! Love you forever!!! wish you were here.............
Who in the hell would dislike this!? Wow. David gilmour is phenomenal. His voice is amazing!
Lost my very best friend a while back. Every time this song plays I always wish you were here. Gilmour, right in the heart, awesome song.
Sad to hear that!
I saw a youtube comment that was so beautiful, it made me teary-eyed. 🥺
"In 1972, as a teenager, I sat in a dark room, smoking a joint, listening to Pink Floyd on my headphones. Here I am, 50 years later, doing the exact same thing. I'm blessed to have lived during the time of Pink Floyd."
I listen to this when life gets difficult. I am a full time care giver to my wife who suffers from the evil disease of dementia.
No one can feel the pain that you go through.
Stay strong my friend, you are a hero!

It's not that complex... you don't have to even be smart to understand the purpose of the song...
This song makes me live my love stories once again, the moment when somebody really matters and you can't help being taken my these overwhelming feelings...
You know it's an all-time classic when it's instantly recognisable after about 3 seconds of acoustic guitar
Yes to the question "anyone still here in 2019" Dropped back in to hear/watch again. I still cannot understand the thumbs down! for such a beautiful piece...Brilliantly beautiful
It's extremely hard to listen to this song. I lost my dearest and closest friend last year on Christmas morning. This song was played for him at his funeral. I can't help but break down in tears by hearing this song. Can't thank Gilmour any more for creating a beautiful song. Ik that my friend loved hearing this song that was played for him at his funeral. R.I.P jason😭😭😭
Do sorry for your loss

I'm sorry for your loss
John Brown you life long enough you eventually loose it all the pain puts the light in your eyes it let's you really feel the smiles. Moments are all we have and memories make them great ones. My most sincere condolences.
The way melody flows from him regardless of age or setting. Amazing...

No matter how down you feel, you have to keep fighting and overcome, because life will be worth living again, I promise
thank you so much!
