The whole album, Wish You Were Here is the band mourning the loss of their friend and founder. It works on two levels, they wish he was there in terms of his senses, and also physically with the band.

maybe you know the story about this song.Originaly it wasn't palnned to be recorded.During recording in studio there was a guy with tooth-brush all day watching them working.They didn't recognize Syd as he was fucking fat.Some1 told them - jesus its Syd Barret - then Roger wrote this song and added to album.
Its not about love between male and female - its about love between human being and human being
1 of the greatest songs ever written
