Wish you were here Eric Clapton

[347coach]

Eric Clapton?!?... The singer is the great ROGER WATERS. 

[LaGoonch]

@SpaceAdventurerBob

Gilmour wrote the music, and Rogers wrote the Lyrics (Same with Comfortably Numb)

[R7777B]

Gilmour > Waters

[largehedgehog]

wish u where here dave

[logocovet]

Yeah, I never really loved the way Waters sings this song. But it is in a way more appropriate since Sid Barret was Waters' friend.

[LaGoonch]

@logocovet

Erm, they were all friends with Barret, Hell, him and Gilmour used to go around busking together. But I can see where you're coming from, I mean, Rogers devoted the lyrics of an entire album to the guy...

[logocovet]

Yeah, I never really loved the way Waters sings this somg

[etienneSNA]

I don't understand people who says that waters shouldn't sing on this song. Generally i don't like his voice but it sounds sooo good on this song and clapton or gilmour couldn't sing like this.

[R7777B]

@etienneSNA Exactly, they don't want to sing like that..because their voices are better, seriously listen to the original again and then come back and say you still think Waters can sing it better then Gilmour.

[jakethesnake576]

One of the most awe inspiring songs ever written. One of those songs that pretty much anybody can play pretty well, that you dont need a fantastic voice to sing. Just basic knolodge of guitar playing, knowing the words, and an aching soul.

Claptons just a bonus :)

[R7777B]

@jakethesnake576 What a beautiful observation!

[Peregrineeagle]

Clapton's bluesy guitar style is a really great addition to this song.

[timmaay531]

this is not a clapton song. its a pink floyd song, written by roger waters who was the bassist for pink floyd and who is the guy singing in this video.

[LaGoonch]

@timmaay531

Waters only wrote the lyrics, Gilmour wrote the music to it. Same with Comfortably Numb.

[LordBlackwood1000]

Yeah, that is Matt Damon ;-)

[ZosoNC69]

Love how whoever put this vid up failed to mention roger waters at all

[cgoldchild]

Wonderful.

[skaterloz]

That guy on the phone looks like Matt Damon lol

[ThePapeboy1]

@skaterloz because it is Matt Damon...?



[Ibakecookiess]

You guys kidding right? Roger's singing is the best ever, its different.

[xEasySnipesx]

I thought Roger did a great job with singing. He put his side on it. I think he did great. Eric Clapton was awesome as usual

[darkmachete]

Roger Waters has lost his singing. He likes that soft almost talking kinda voice to sing with.

[lestliness]

@darkmachete It's cool though, like Leonard Cohen,

[SuperBlammo]

That idiot shoulda let Eric sing it.

I gotta go puke now.

[AGalaxyFurther]

@SuperBlammo fuck you!'that idiot' is the greatest songwriter and god of music of every time!

[LaGoonch]

Roger Waters Should not sing this song, they shouda got Gilmour to play with Clapton instead

[Khaibar06]

Or Gilmour to play with Roger!

[LaGoonch]

Gilmour hates Roger though

[mattsun71]

@LaGoonch i bet the lyrics are about gilmour this time

[carlosriosmd]

@LaGoonch Right! (sarcasm...) If we were to wish, then we would have Bob Dylan and GnR singing "Knocking of Heaven's Doors"... So stop winning like a little b... and donate to the redcross...

[LaGoonch]

@carlosriosmd

Winning like a little bitch? I'm sorry if my victory upsets you.

[kieselsteinchen]

@LaGoonch who ever could make a cover of a pink floyd song if not one of the pink floyd musicians.

[LaGoonch]

@kieselsteinchen

Fine, you're right, but Roger Waters isn't the only other member is he? They could have got Richard to sing this for God's sake! (Which would have been amazing by the way) But looking past this, why are you replying to a comment posted two years ago?

[santiagometalmilitia]

nice vid i love this song!

[theway2getme]

:) Thanks

[mmcgihon]

cheers for this
