Wish you were here

Wish you were here. That'll be my reply if you asked me to name one particular song that I found most epic. Pink Floyd has been the most powerful songwriters since the Beatles and most of their albums are well known to be legendary. Such as the Concept album, The Wall , Dark Side of the Moon and Animals. Though not many will deny that the greatest album of all time would have to be "Wish You Were Here".


As for the title song, I remember the first time I listened to it and found it phenomenal. It's riddled with questions directed to the listener. It will make you think and wonder as what Lennon did in Imagine. It's poetic beauty in its lyrics and music composition makes this song almost highly untouchable.

Watch this video and listen. That's all I am asking. Listen and ask yourself.



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 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 we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
