Classics: Wish You Were Here


Original video located here. Accessed 4th October 2010

Song title: Wish You Were Here 

Artist: Pink Floyd

Year: 1975

Why I like this song:

Its a given that Pink Floyd are album artists. It's not often one singular song stands out in their repertoire but when it does, it knocks it out of the park.
What I get out of this song is just how weary it sounds - It must be that ascending guitar riff. I suppose it's fitting given this song is about the collapse of brotherhood but that doesn't make it any less heart-breaking.  
Truly a gem.
