Hmm...i been listening to the song the last 2 days.

Now ya made me start it up and now I'm wanting to smoke as well...

i'm all out myself...but this is a perfect album to blaze to - then start philosiphizing, lol

:1orglaugh

I've always wondered what was up with that cover - why is the guy on fire?

i dunno, looks pretty trippy though

great album :thumbsup


The album cover is symbolic for the end of the relationship between Pink Floyd and Syd Barret. Syd Barret, the founder of Pink Floyd left the band after he went insane. The guy is on fire, symbolizing Pink Floyd getting hurt by Syd, and the handshake symbolizes the relationship between the band and him. 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.

:pimp :thumbsup

onto Dark Side Of The Moon now, Relics is prob next.

it's all about the god damn floyd man.

One of the greatest bands of all time.

I watched a doco on Syd Barret shame he went to far with the drugs and coudent come back but Pink Floyd would have never been who they where if they didnt toss him.

I love them...

Dark Side Of The Moon is the best album
pink floyd definitely rocks

:thumbsup



abyss al: nice analysis, i never knew that cover meant that!


:thumbsup

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.

fish fish fish - 4/20 the meaning of life in a fishbowl

Make sure you put some Animals on too :)

Got the CD on my HD, Love it aswell

now theres a look in your eye, like black holes in the sky.

Caught in the crossfire, of Childhood and Stardom...

good stuff right there

you are the man :)

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

:thumbsup :thumbsup :pimp

Yeah I've read that in a david gilmour interview, Syd is still a recluse and doesn't talk to anyone but his sister. The guys dedicated their LiveAid performance to him before going into Wish you were here.

definately a weird cover reminds me of the rage against the machine album cover

Pigs on the wing:-)

you can never go wrong with Pink Floyd.

great song to play on the guitar :)

Wyclef Jean's version is very good as well

Pink Floyd is perfect "work music"

I put on Meddle last night for the first time in years. Still as good as ever.

Wish You Were Here has always been one of my favorite albums, and probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. I was at their show at RFK stadium in 1994, they came out and after playing Astronomy Domine they played a set of their newer material (Divison Bell, Momentary Lapse of Reason) and concluded with that set with "One of These Days" from Meddle.

They took a break, and then the second set started with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"...just awesome to hear those notes starting to play in complete darkness, and each note turning on a single light pointing to the stage...wow.

Memories..I don't know how many doobs I blazed listening to them
