wish you were here-Sparklehorse cover

[persevere4]

thank you for upload

[strongbeach123]

Well for some people, this song will tug on the heart strings. For the rest of you, it is just another bird that hit the window. I've watched Lords of Dogtown; So it puts this song it a totally different light for me. Inspiring to say the least...

[fromtoronto2guelph]

Im very very very picky when it comes to covers but when my best friend played this for me I was blown away. I wish every cover could be done with this much beauty

[Abulafia1982]

Horrible and quite disgusting. The worst P.F. cover I ever heard.

[NintendoGamer777]

@Abulafia1982 This guy died give him some respect.

[DeckingAround]

@NintendoGamer777 He's saying he's feelings. Don't get pissed because of his thoughts.

[gubblfisch]

@Abulafia1982 dude this cover catches a whole new feeling of melancholy in the song that's almost completely lost when PF plays it - still, PFs version is beyond greatness but I mean, that's the point of covering a song - you make your own interpretation

[mcguirk12]

@gubblfisch Spot on

[wolfmetal22666]

Wish you were here....someone....I'm alone...

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

Is this their song or Pink Floyd's because I'm only young and I'm confused.?

[andresm231]

@666jimmysmusicgirl to even think of giving credit to anybody else but floyd for this song is BLASPHEMY.... this is probably their most iconic song.....

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@andresm231 No, this is blasphemy... 'For God's sake!!'. What I said was a confusion of what people were ssaying about the video and took alot of confidence to ask :L

[andresm231]

@666jimmysmusicgirl lol accepted..peace..no hard feelings :)

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@andresm231 Ok :)

[mcguirk12]

@666jimmysmusicgirl Originally Pink floyds, but its a cover. A decent cover I think.

[darthkiller14]

i have an empty feeling when i hear this song

[GreyMoon1975]

So sad you left us here without your words and poetry Mark. How I wish you were here my friend. Rest in beautiful peace. I miss you everyday in this poor and miserable world.

lords of dogtown :(

[jaylo310]

I would blow Mark Linkousokckockclcocok.

[blackshadow066]

I miss You, my ex-friend...

Beautiful song, I'm just drowning in it.

[jessiesun1029]

I cried every time I hear this song..so emotional :(

[16metres]

i miss you mr. linkous

[joesere]

Tom Yorks only contribution is the telephoney-voice at the end.

[Cannabis919]

I was gonna ask her to marry me, had the ring in my pocket. I was gonna act like I was breaking up then propose. But no, her ex boyfriend treats her better. Now i'm alone again listening to this with a ring I can't afford.

[andresm231]

@Cannabis919 i feel you bro :(

[Beccaskate31]

Tha best song ever

[majuju8boy]

The piano i believe is from thom yorke, but idk

[bolmsp]

[Mcshitlove]

[carpentier38]

les floyd !

[dlvc111]

¡muy buen cover!

[murraythe]

[Jaketacular420]

This is the greatest cover of Wish You Were Here I've ever heard. Amazing.

[nick40nick40]

veeery good cover on a classic song mate!

[e69aries]

someone knows who made this video??? in one of the last images there is a tower on the beach.. this is my town in Italy!!!!

[JarradV92]

who is this song dedicated to? i know the vocalist from sparkle horse mike linkous died, but its obviously not tributed to him as he died recently. so just curious thanks

[cyrus234]

@JarradV92 It's Mark Linkous from Sparklehorse singing this song,,,this is a Pink Floyd cover actually

[letragique909]

@JarradV92 it was originaly performanced by pink floyd so it was dedicated to syd barret when he died but however what amazin song....totally awesome........wish you were here....

[RealityMinusMe]

My second favourite song of all time.

sucks so much that you're gone. RIP Mark Linkous

[KingCannibalWalrus]

[NichUNknown]

R.I.P. RMS I miss you every day bro. How i wish you were here...

[QeTuShaaa]

is it sparklehorse or Radiohead?

[beard3030]

@QeTuShaaa both!!!

[QeTuShaaa]

@beard3030 I've already known, but thanks anyway :)

[Astrochimp500]

@QeTuShaaa i believe Thom Yorke contributes to some of the music in this

[MokshaMedia]

Wish you were here....................

[Mixfit]

Absolutely blown away! I've never heard of this band before!

[sheisacat]

isnt that for radiohead?

[XxPAINTBALL2009xX]

Lords Of Dogtown. :)

[mreggmusic]

damn, mark! we wish YOU were here. sorry it was too much for you. kinda was hoping you'd make it through. "did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" only captain howdy knows.

miss you bad.

[mreggmusic]

damn, mark! we wish YOU were here. sorry it was too much for you. kinda was hoping you'd make it through. "did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" only captain howdy knows.

miss you bad.

[AuraAruna]

Gleich 2 Bands, die ich sehr liebe, vereint mit einem Lied, das ich sehr liebe, von einer Band, die ich seit meiner Kindheit verehre.

Das Lied geht ans Herz. Tolle Version!

[Rossco242]

The first time I heard this cover, it completely blew my mind and made me want to make music. And every time I've heard it since, I've had the same reaction. How fortunate we are to have this music!

[xZeroTheZombiex]

Man,

I Really Miss Mark's

Music.

such A Talented Person,So Much

Pain In His Music,

I Could Relate To Him,

R.I.P Mark

You Truly Were

An Inspiration In

My Life.

[09SRILANKA]

QUALITY as always...........

[McGwireFan98]

i love this song soooo much..

[ckyman354]

forgot to say, this is amazing

[ckyman354]

sounds just like floyd, best cover ever!

[truetalenttrent]

@ckyman354

This is a pretty solid cover, I'll give you that. But saying this sounds just like Floyd is ridiculous. First of all, this is done on piano, Floyd's version was guitar. Secondly, the vocal sounds NOTHING like Pink Floyd whatsoever. Go back and listen to the original, this is performed MUCH slower and he does the whole song in a subdued way, whereasFloyd picks up the intensity in the chorus.

Not dogging this version, but it sounds nothing like Floyd.

[zumiez27]

Wish you were here Mark...RIP

[aj141070]

gbryananderson: you are a self-righteous tit.

great music. a horrible shame. 'gasoline horseys' and others will always be up there for me.

[gbryananderson]

I commented on one of Mark's videos he was an asshole for his suicide. I got a comment, "I want to stab you in the face." I have the right to voice my anger. I've seen destruction of families, marriages, wrought on by suicide. I have a right to be angry and sad. I expressed my anger, I prayed for Mark. I think suicide is an abhorrence of God and nature. Thanks for wanting to stab me in the face. Mark's suicide left a void. His music and life fills me up, his suicide doesn't.

[oceankiddd]

you know, i wanna stab you in the face too you cocksucker.

pray for yourself you judgemental prick. he never asked for a prayer from you.

you just liked his music.

leave it at that and mourn the loss.

[gbryananderson]

@oceankiddd mourning I was...anger is part of mourning....violence isn't

[tsungvarsky]

@gbryananderson

"Mark's suicide left a void."

Exactly.  Loved his music/lyrics. Sad when someone like him doesn't make it. And we are left wondering, why.

[alexxx977]

only now I found the comments of his death, did not know, I'm feeling wonderful piece beautifully redone ...R.I.P. Mark

[eugenius101]

Stupid bugger ...

(very sad)

[martinartist09]

RIP Mark

[eyzovblu]

how do i love thee? how will i miss thee? RIP Mark-in the embraces of angels...with their lips brushing your sweet brow...and your voice joining theirs and making heaven such a sparkling realm...

[braydenbeautiful]

RIP, brother...Rest in Peace..

[reeblite]

sad loss of a talented human being..

[logghie182]

rest in peace dear mark

your forever in our hearts

[Ennustus666]

I'm fucking gutted. Can't put into words how I feel =(

[themerryhankster]

@Ennustus666

You took the words out of my mouth.

[scullysedge]

Thought there wasn't any words?

[scullysedge]

You just did, gutted is a word. He's left some cracking songs.

[brkcustoms]

rip, i just started listening to this band :'(

[blueinfinite]

first Billy Mays dies, then this -

what the hells going on people???

[RestlessVamp69]

RIP Mark <3

[obtainknowledge]

There's always hope.

[onewackycharacter]

good night sweet prince.

[naranjaskonfitadas]

too sad for mark :(

[treefingers91]

The first Sparklehorse I heard - RIP. You were worth hundreds of sparrows :(

[TsaSzymborska]

@treefingers91 What, is he dead? That comes as a shock to me. He was very talented and original.

[jamescfc1]

Genuinely makes me feel quite upset. RIP Mark, you're missed already.

[Piekeperk]

RIP

[forevercold113]

I'll miss you, Mark. RIP

[SMALLPARTZ]

Rest in peace.

[cristianodoni27]

rip mark

[meiguoren66]

One of the few true artists .....

[phantomgallery]

so sad to lose Mark I met him at a gig in Philly in 1995 . the world lost an artist today .

[badcrc1973]

RIP Mark

[pinkmuffin252]

i like it more than the original....lords of dogtown is the best movie ever...and this song too...i can hear it again and again and it never becomes boring!

[plonker00765]

needs winding up,hard to listen to.

[Flaminoose]

Lords of Dogtown....R.I.P Heath Ledger, and Sid...

[alextothecore90]

this is a lot more "emotional" than the original in my opinion.

[Gigsixstring]

...

[A7XFORLIF31]

oh.... shit this makes me cry =(

[suzenz]

GREAT cover! Not many great covers but this is one!

[EvieSaunders]

makes me cry everytime :(

such a great song <3

[feedaadoo]

Sparklehorse and Thom Yorke from radiohead , right?

[coco2255]

possibly one of the most amazing covers ive ever heard... just sayin.

[floggingmollyunder1]

this is one of those songs that make you think

[hiiloveyoujustina]

most beautiful song ever written.

[DevilDriverFreak]

Pink Floyd is better

[HeyWakeUpPeople]

@DevilDriverFreak

No need to compare and judge, they both are good.

[aleLaLokita]

good cover, makes me think, takes me back

[downfall23]

excellent cover

[Nirvanadata]

my favourite cover...thx

[FenderMeddle94]

This suck. Worst cover ever of a wonderful song

[mackomacko]

@FenderMeddle94 fuck you

[champagner1234]

the voice Mark Linkous (Spaklehorse) though.

[theoriginalassowl]

first i heard pink floyds then velvet revolvers version and i heard this one in lords of dogtown

[worrestalex]

this song makes me cut myself

[FenderMeddle94]

HAHAH! XD

I agree :D

[FenderMeddle94]

@worrestalex hahahh, indeed xD

[funszdgirl7]

wow this cover is soooo depressing, but it's beautiful...

[luiedalooper]

very nice cover!

[rolf1304]

I had this song on an old cassette tape of my brother.. I looked in all my pinkfloyd records for it but couldn't get it.. Just came across it while listening to Sparklehorse :D

Thank you for uploading, I love this version.

[lTuonela]

Sin palabras!, exelente.

[jes456]

Actually this is probably the best cover of this song but I still prefer Pink Floyd

[c426249]

Pink Floyd , for ever

[Lumar231]

what's the name of the album where i can find this song?

or in what album i can find it?

[Skateboy4510]

its in the soundtrack for lords of Dogtown wish u were here sparklehorse

[lolalein123]

i thought this was covered by radiohead?

[feedaadoo]

is just the vocal of Radiohead Thom Yorke , with the Sparklehorse.

Floyd Forever.

[Director705]

It's by Sparklehorse featuring Thom Yorke of Radiohead, if I'm not mistaken.

[swan467]

I like this better than Pink Floyds version.

[Cleiter88]

this was actually recorded over an answering machine, which is why its so screechy.

[SimMaster]

thom yorke sings some of the noises at the end over the phone

[241arrowhead]

pink floyd's version gives me chills this one.... idn his voice.. to screechy

[frogga31]

bullshit. im not going to argue that pink floyd's version wasnt good, it was and is one of my favorite songs, but this song is still good and it a fucking good cover at that unlike alot of others i have heard i guess i cant really make you change your mind everyone has thier own opinion but they didn't ruin this song its one of the best songs to put on and just slip away into nothingness i love it.

[Clownx66]

That wasn't their intention. Stop getting so offended fan boi.

[brookemcin79]

Does this really feature Radiohead? I remember downloading this back in the Napster days and seeing Radiohead in the title but this doesn't sound like Thom.

[bensicool22]

i love this song  5/5

[flatlinebeforedeath]

Beautiful!!! Love it!

[skater255978]

R.I.P syd

[skater255978]

and this was in the lords of dogtown best movie ever and great song. and i love skateboarding want to do it for the rest of my life

[skater255978]

for some reason i like this one better than pink floyds

[Piloumania]

boring

[RATM4LIF3]

this was in lords of dogtown, great movie great song, i dont know why but there both sad, well shit i'm high right now so im ballin

[skater255978]

dont get high u piece of shit ur a fuckin loser now i dont get high or drunk but then again of im teen but still dont fuck yourself up!! im trying to help you seriously!

[RATM4LIF3]

Weed doesnt hurt, I'm not a chronic smoker you peace of shit, it's not bad in moderation so you can fuck yourelf, it curese glaucoma, helps with asthma, helps with anorexia ( not spelled correctly) of HIV/Cancer or just regular anorexia, im high right now so fuck it

[jayrod105]

asthma?

[RATM4LIF3]

ya it relaxes your airways if your having an asthma attack

[frogga31]

amen to that mate its all good in moderation i like to smoke it with a small group of my mates and listen to music whats the harm in that?

[sunlightandchocolate]

i am in love with this song <3

[asaint4]

Wow, wtf.

If your going to cover the greatest band ever, get the lyrics right.

Blue skies from Rain?

Wtf, it's pain.

[asaint4]

Also note:

Tears, instead of fears.

Lamesauce.

[onegnometorule]

And 'you're' instead of 'your'. I do like unwitting irony.

[Baloman]

omg this is terrible, singing is horrible honestly people jesus christ get taste.

[onegnometorule]

Lol. Good one. I don't even want to check what someone who thinks Thom Yorke's voice is bad listens to. There's always Bright Eyes and his amazing voice for idiots like that one.

[onegnometorule]

Ah, Metallica. I see.

[BitingPixie]

But most of this cover isn't sung by Thom Yorke. You can hear him hum a bit throughout, and he sings the line "wish you were here" a couple of times at the end (his part was recorded over the telephone). Not that I agree with Beloman that the cover is horrible. Just pointing out that most of this cover is sung by the singer from Sparklehorse.

[onegnometorule]

Oups. I had always assumed it was throughout Thom Yorke - and liked it in part as it sounded like an entirely different Yorke than in his solo stuff and with Radiohead. But I do have to admit, the voice does sound awfully like Mark Vinous (not in a bad sense awfully, just a lot like him).

[MrGentlehand]

sid is a dead man..walking on green mile!

DEAD MAN

[charlesmorgann]

im not a bitch

but this songs makes me wanna cry because of sid

[wickedradicalmandude]

because of acid? WOOT!

[link9367]

XD syd

[asaint4]

syd*

[RadioSixteen]

If you listen carefully you might be able to hear Thom snoring peacefully into the phone... to bad he forgot to turn off his tv.

[Shereshevesky]

???

[kelly2themax96]

this reminds me of sid's death, it reminds me of my friendss and me skateboarding and chillin all day.
