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
Lost my 28 year old son Max on August 4th, about 7 weeks ago. He loved Pink floyd and this was his favorite song by them. Love you Max and wish you were here ..... Pops.
@@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.
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 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.
The song is about Syd Barrett on one level. But it is also about missing yourself, as Waters can attest to. That dejecting feeling of absence and 'numbness'. That feeling of not being able to feel anything. We've all experienced it in some capacity.
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.
I'd be honored if some Pink Floyd & David Gilmour fans would take a quick listen to my live piano & vocal covers of WISH YOU WERE HERE and SLIT SKIRTS by Pete Townshend on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest songwriters in rock history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
@@willritter4076 Pete Townshend is a genius songwriter, music and lyrics, David Gilmour is not, Roger Waters wrote most of Floyd's output including nearly all the lyrics. Sad how even Pink Floyd fans don't know this fact.
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.
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.
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 leading 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
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.
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)
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...
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 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.
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
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!
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 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...
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.
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. 💜😪
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
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
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.
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!!!!!
My father introduced me to this masterpiece. I lost him 42 days ago Tomorrow is my birthday and Im crying right now lying on his bed listening to this wishing he is resting in peace
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.
@@ronisixstring3037 thanks Roni...i also know the lyrics but i appreciate to read them while i'm singing because i'm italian and i can make mistakes! 👍
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 !
They played this song at my sons funeral 2 yrs ago after he lost his battle with drugs and unhappiness with this world . I can only hope and pray that God has wrapped his arms around him and has given him the peace and happiness that he could never find here 🙏 How we wish you were here .
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?

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 ❤️❤️❤️
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.
Thank you, Sadly our other dog Hana missed her brother so much she gave up. She passed May 16th of a broken heart. She quit eating, we tried everything to get her to eat. She just wanted to be with her brother. We miss them both so much 😢
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.
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.
+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/
This music is timeless and resonates to so many of my generation. The soundtrack of our lives. I am 58 years old. In my young adult life and in my 30s, i was privileged to have been married twice. Once, in 1987 to 1989 to my college sweetheart. And then from 1994 to 2016 to the man who fathered my two adult children. My children are 22 and 29 in 2024. The verse, " A smile from a veil....." Takes me back to my wedding day on June 27, 1987. I was a 22 year old bride in my Junior year of college at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston on break between " quarters ". " Did you exchange, a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? " I hope my first husband realizes that i truly loved him as my best friend. I am so very sorry we failed each other. The trauma we caused each other happened at an impressionable time in our young adult lives. I forgive you. O returned to Houston in 2024 and walked our old paths ....the paths you used to run long distance on to manage your stress. I release you. We are no longer captive to each other's memory. Thank you for sharing your life with me. To my second husband, thank you for the 20 years and two children we co parented and raised. The courts do not define a maternal bond with our children. That will never change. " Marghee and James" , I love you and miss you both. I did not leave you behind. My door is open. Love, Mom "Interuppted" 1994 to 2016 Marghee 3/9/95 and James 10/11/2002
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!
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
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.
Thirteen years ago I got sober after ten years of alcoholism, a horrible disease that killed both my elder brothers 21 and 10 years ago respectively. How I wish they were both here with me and sober too. Why I could recover and they couldn't baffles me and always will I expect.
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.............
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
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.
My mother was a mathematician, a psychologist and a Yoga Teacher from 63 to 2014 and my father was an mechanical, civil and electric engineer. He loved telling jokes all the time even when he was dying of cancer in the Hospital
I lost a friend to alcohol, and this was one of his favorite songs, RIP shyone, i hope you know someone remembers you, we grew up together and now i feel im going down the same path, i plan to be sober for a long time hopefully he can help me with that from a higher place in this universe that i am part of now and hope i can be to be there for my kids in the future.
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."
goran87 Sevcenko Same man, glad someone else feels it. Especially with this song. It brings a sort of peace...and vibe so to speak of freedom and it just relaxes you and comforts you
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 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.

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.

Lol
+Matt B its all about woman..
+Deyan Prodanov lol. not at all. it's all about syd barrett
+Deyan Prodanov its always about woman - especialy in this kind of blues... or in life
The song is about Syd Barrett on one level. But it is also about missing yourself, as Waters can attest to. That dejecting feeling of absence and 'numbness'. That feeling of not being able to feel anything. We've all experienced it in some capacity.
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.
I'd be honored if some Pink Floyd & David Gilmour fans would take a quick listen to my live piano & vocal covers of WISH YOU WERE HERE and SLIT SKIRTS by Pete Townshend on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest songwriters in rock history.

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.

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.
💓💓

One of the greatest songs ever written.
Definitely.
I love seeing this exact comment written at the top of every pink floyd video.
I was in Rome too. And yes, it was one of the most beautiful moment of the concert!!!

You got that right.
David Gilmour has such a unique and beautiful sound when he plays, it is other worldly at times. His bends in particular are tremendous.
+Chris J defenetly unique my friend, David is Great.
+Chris J its all the acid and playing around on the guitar
+xxS1RExx In fact that none other than Syd didn't do any drugs?
+Jesper Berggren gilmour said that he ocasionally smoked weed
+Jesper Berggren LSD? They all
Man that cello part is absolutely gorgeous. Such a minor addition but totally changes the 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?
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 leading 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
Love that lyrics
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
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)
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
Man he matched his voice perfectly with those notes on his guitar at the end of the song, so beautiful
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 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.
His voice and beautiful guitar playing are still just magic.

@@brendahawkins3965 KIDS REACT TO PINK FLOYD PART 1 AND 2 ON RUclips
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!
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!
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.

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...
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
Lost my Dad over 41 years ago and this song always reminds me of howmuch I miss him..."Wish you were here Dad..."
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.
For my beautiful daughter who left us last November.. heartbroken for ever
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!
+flutterbyu2 Miley cyrus srtips to bare basics doesn't work for her
+mike smith : Miley will never be in this caliber musically! Stripping to bare basics means something totally different to her,LOL. 😎
R.I.P Kiki
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
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

This play at my dad's funnel
Gilmour the Great. Unbelievable guitar player and vocalist. Bless him forever…
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
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.
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
Listened to this in my teens. Listening now in my twenties. And I sure as hell will be listening when I have a wrinkled face and grey hair 🤟🏻
Check out comfortably numb too! 😌
FD G's Another favourite! ☺️
Trip safe! 😊
Wish u were here
I'm still listening in my 60s
My father introduced me to this masterpiece. I lost him 42 days ago
Tomorrow is my birthday and Im crying right now lying on his bed listening to this wishing he is resting in peace
Sorry for your loss man. He left you with some great music to remember him by.
Such a beautiful song. I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this classical work of musical art.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.

Hot ashes for trees?

Cold comfort for change?

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.
TO ALL THOSE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES-THER'S A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL-BELIEVE IT
Wish that light WAS really there
True! I recovered hearing Pink Floyd! Stumbled upon them...They heal you...what Magic!
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!
@@woodlandsnymph it was beautiful. This song is beautiful. Feel bad for those who miss both..
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 !
They played this song at my sons funeral 2 yrs ago after he lost his battle with drugs and unhappiness with this world . I can only hope and pray that God has wrapped his arms around him and has given him the peace and happiness that he could never find here 🙏 How we wish you were here .
One of the best songs in rock history.

I miss my mom. We'll figure this out man its ok. at least we have these songs and comment board.
Everything's gonna be well, lets enjoy the music. Shall we? ;)
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.

Dogs are beautiful...my heart goes out to you.
Thank you, Sadly our other dog Hana missed her brother so much she gave up. She passed May 16th of a broken heart. She quit eating, we tried everything to get her to eat. She just wanted to be with her brother. We miss them both so much 😢

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/
Incredibly timeless. As of today July 2021 this received 72 Million views. More gospel than rock song.
This music is timeless and resonates to so many of my generation. The soundtrack of our lives. I am 58 years old. In my young adult life and in my 30s, i was privileged to have been married twice. Once, in 1987 to 1989 to my college sweetheart. And then from 1994 to 2016 to the man who fathered my two adult children. My children are 22 and 29 in 2024.
The verse, " A smile from a veil....." Takes me back to my wedding day on June 27, 1987. I was a 22 year old bride in my Junior year of college at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston on break between " quarters ".
" Did you exchange, a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? " I hope my first husband realizes that i truly loved him as my best friend. I am so very sorry we failed each other. The trauma we caused each other happened at an impressionable time in our young adult lives. I forgive you. O returned to Houston in 2024 and walked our old paths ....the paths you used to run long distance on to manage your stress. I release you. We are no longer captive to each other's memory. Thank you for sharing your life with me. To my second husband, thank you for the 20 years and two children we co parented and raised. The courts do not define a maternal bond with our children. That will never change. " Marghee and James" , I love you and miss you both. I did not leave you behind. My door is open.
Love,
Mom "Interuppted" 1994 to 2016
Marghee 3/9/95 and James 10/11/2002
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!
"what have we found?
The same old fears."
This is a great great song...
I lost my dad over 2 years ago this song still brings me to tears. God bless all the lost souls.
RIP to your dad, and mine.
I lost my brother last year, well he is more than a brother to me, he is my hero, this song i just cannot stop my tears, its beautifully hurting.
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.
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.
Daniel Baron Martinez cherish her because you never know when we'll be taken from the ones we love.
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
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.
Bacot
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.
Please gift me your 12 string guitar i wanna play like this
Thirteen years ago I got sober after ten years of alcoholism, a horrible disease that killed both my elder brothers 21 and 10 years ago respectively. How I wish they were both here with me and sober too. Why I could recover and they couldn't baffles me and always will I expect.
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 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.............
61 years old & still love music unplugged

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.
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 .

I'm so glad we have music
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😭😭😭

My mother was a mathematician, a psychologist and a Yoga Teacher from 63 to 2014 and my father was an mechanical, civil and electric engineer. He loved telling jokes all the time even when he was dying of cancer in the Hospital
I lost a friend to alcohol, and this was one of his favorite songs, RIP shyone, i hope you know someone remembers you, we grew up together and now i feel im going down the same path, i plan to be sober for a long time hopefully he can help me with that from a higher place in this universe that i am part of now and hope i can be to be there for my kids in the future.
I so wish music was like this nowadays, you can listen to thing drunk or sober and it's just heart warming. I love it.

Today's music will NEVER be this good.
So very true though the kids my husband teaches seem to be gravitating back to this which is both really hopeful and cool indeed!
special snowflake alert
NEVER!!!
timeless and greeeeeaaaattt
That's ridiculously narrow minded and ignorant
Ridiculous control to play this acoustically as good as that and sing as well. Master of his craft. 👏🏻
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."
"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..
I can't sleep in this time,i don't have words to explain this what i feel when i listen this art of music..my soul is free 😇
goran87 Sevcenko Same man, glad someone else feels it. Especially with this song. It brings a sort of peace...and vibe so to speak of freedom and it just relaxes you and comforts you

That's beautiful, so happy for you.
i cant sleep either so i listen this masterpiece...
goran87 Sevcenko thats amazing moron.
No words to describe. Just loved Dave and the song. David Gilmour is a living legend.
Is is always a great pleasure to watch Sir David Gilmour playing, singing and smiling! Thank You!

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....
