A ballad about absence and remembrance. Wish You Were Here is one of the best songs of all time from the album of the same name by Pink Floyd.My friend a talented guitarist plays this one at our house. I really love his version. hope you do too.
The song is about the feeling of detachment. Usually it is explained as a tribute to Pink Floyd former leader Syd Barrett, as is Shine On You Crazy Diamond from the same album, but this is only partially true.
