Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

[bluesboy25000]

Like Syd, my friend I grew up with developed Schizophrenia. We were played in a band briefly and he was a phenomenal guitarist. He developed the condition and passed on at age 20. We loved Pink Floyd. We played this song at his funeral. Today was his birthday.

RIP dude 1990-2010

[ibecruel]

I feel lucky to have been able to listen to Pink Floyd, the music has had such a deep impact on my life. Somehow as the world crumbles around me, it helps me find my way.



[donottawaguitar]

I LOVe theFLOYD

[awesomeiguana]

why is there no drop????

[juan16911]

Does anyone else put this on when they are high?

[Thurzotron]

@juan16911 Stoned right now

[ThePoorlittlerichgir]

@juan16911 are you serious dude chic whatever you are. if you have to be stoned to listen to pink floyd. if thats the case you will never know how to appreciate music. get a life

[MrMliam]

I listen to this and think of loved ones passed, wish you were here mum :(

[LeTsZaguito]

HOT ASHES FOR TREES, HOT AIR FOR A COOL BREEZE COLD COMFORT FOR CHANGE DID U EXCHANGE

[friakc]

3,464 people have no souls.

[Ancientmirrors1]

Wow I just learned something,I'm 51 been listening to ?Floyd since the 70s,after seeing this vid and relistening to the words ,wow! Waters is referring to God?YUP!WOW gr8 upload Thank You chartrand!We do learn something against what we think we know everyday and if all realize this maybe true communication can take place ?Peace All!

[TheLatchford]

deep intake of breath,a sniff a slight cough and away we go.

[Poeslaw1]

What say you?

[Poeslaw1]

It makes me sad that the possibilities of this technology we call youtube are wasted on self aggrandizement about how much smarter one is than the majority and making pop culture jokes, rather than as a forum for discussing the content of the media presented.

I find it interesting the song, and the album, is the grammatically questionable sentence "wish you were here". You can wish someone was there (wish you were there) or wish for someone to be here. were is past tense,here is present tense.

[pokemoncardsworld]

There never was, isnt, and never will be a bad pink floyd song.

[SlamifiedBuddafied]

I once asked an old man would have have traded his heroes for gold.

Then I asked a young boy if he thought he could tell the difference between heaven and hell.

A good friend if he'd have ash's for tree's.

We know our answers and justly, those will change.

That is why I wish (you) were here, so that I may answer in a new way; or maybe in way we both could answer.

[XRAY670]

the 3464 people who clicked dis like have a bad taste in music this is perfact

[bustinjazzo]

I love the visuals you have, my favourite being the windows XP default desktop

[1zv]

not going to lie, was pleasantly suprised seeing this has 52million views-that is a big number.maybe not as big as gaga etc, but for an old song in which youtube use is still predominantly for younger people, this is fantastic

[headinthesky256]

Played this at my brother's funeral. He was only 20. Miss you man, hope you've had a good few months up in heaven. Wish you were here, think about you all the time. You were a beautiful kid.

[MrDigitalSpark]

@headinthesky256 wow man. sorry about your brother.

[SlamifiedBuddafied]

@headinthesky256 I understand the weight placed upon your mind but know, they were already here and they had the questions and the answers in hand despite anything else. Good luck.

[NikonFstopper]

Webster got it wrong! When you look in a dictionary for the Rock N' Roll, it should only have a picture of and a biography of Pink Floyd.

[TaintedComedy]

the story behind this song is there main singer went mentally insane and they wrote this song to remember him longer story than that but theres the jist

[3guyzandacamera]

I always thought this was just a cool tune. I had to put my dog down a few hours ago and now I see the true meaning behind this song. i'm bawling my eyes out right now.

[meaganfoxsleftboob]

@3guyzandacamera yeah dude i had to put my pug of 9 years down like to months ago. i cry even now. you should gte another dog i t will help... my dad wont let me cuz i gotta move out in a couple years anyways. it sucks

[sk8r4lifebro]

LOL at 1:35 its the windows xp default background

[ExitStageLeft3443]

imagine listing to this for the first time in 1975

[Yz85rider338]

@ExitStageLeft3443 that would've been mind blowing!

[Epicdyer]

i can tell heaven from hell,

just

[scparts1225]

52 million views, Enough Said,

[healeysvids]

A truely beautiful song.

[ahme909]

This is a tribute to Syd Barret. One of the original band members.

[DonaldNice100]

3,464 people cannot tell heaven from hell

[BioPheonix]

a great song that will never let go

[skinnybuddhaboy]

The green field image you used is quite a popular desktop background, haha!

[wasabisushiman123]

Justin Bieber never say never has 301 million views! Give me a break! I don't even capitalize his name. That song should have 0 views!

[giulianodaniele1968]

This is fantastic...pink!

[chan12898]

how come this video only has 52,313,785 views but Justin Beiber "baby" has 707,612,975 views. What kind of world is this

[stevebob240]

@chan12898 True, but 52.3 million is still a good number for such awesome music.

[St3v3z]

@chan12898 It is a world where adults spend far far less time on Youtube than 13 year old girls. Who cares how mny views some Canadian kid has. How can you even think of him whilst listening to the Floyd!

[chan12898]

@St3v3z im not an adult im 15

[St3v3z]

@chan12898 I didn't say you were an adult. I made the point that the majority of YouTube users are under the age of 16 so will generally prefer teen pop over things like PFloyd and Led Zep.

[pn109a]

@chan12898 it's the future, everything is weird now. Who ever thought that underwear would be for fashion.

[snapsalot]

@chan12898 a fucked up one with a lot of deaf people.

[Darkakorri]

@chan12898 a very messed up one.

[HinVids]

@chan12898 If it makes you feeel any better, Baby is the most disliked video on youtube.

[chan12898]

@HinVids true

[Sugase]

@chan12898 that's because there are more idiot people than smart people.

[karinifly]

@chan12898 I dont want this kind of music to have 707 millions of views. Mainstream music and this beautiful music dont mix togheter

[urm8ker]

@chan12898 The reason that Justin Bieber's videos have that many views is because there's people like you who advertise his videos for free :) and besides when you went to check the number of viewers that was 1+ view haha

[4thrashforever]

@chan12898 because bieber is a commercial piece of shit this music is for us outsider metalheads and it should stay that way so dont get confused if justin has millions more views than this music he wont ever be a legend like pink floyd -_-

[zoink10101]

@4thrashforever you are a wise one i like what you say cause it is true its sad that music isn't like this anymore

[zoink10101]

@chan12898 no offence but how do you know about jb just sayin

[MrBurgundy76]

@chan12898 shut up with the bieber shit. most of us know he sucks. let the teenage girls like him for now then when they grow up theyll realize the error of their ways and discover good music like this. until then keep that bieber bullshit off of great songs like this.

[DckDnl]

@chan12898 How in the fucking hell if you search WIsh you were here first video is Wish you were here from Avril Lavigne, wtf?

[CornishRicky]

@chan12898

I assume it's people like you that check the Bieber videos to see how many hits it has. Because you just NEED to shoehorn Bieber into every comment.

[MrJamtime12]

@chan12898 4 words: twelve year old girls.

[Shootsnscores2012]

@chan12898 A stupid fucking world -.-

[deathsdoor2009]

@TribesClanMX - this song, along with Better Be Home Soon by Crowded House, remind me of my Dad, passed away at 37 in 2007 when I was 16. Your words gave me goosebumps.

[mixwell1983]

@deathsdoor2009 - Yah same here, my dad was 60 and died 5-2-11... I wish I could do anything to bring him back.. Really hurts deep down.

[ElioFrankAnthony]

ME OLD FAVS

[sambo1001111]

I searched for this great song and Avril Lavigne came up. What has this world come to.

[VinceLA91]

hail the mighty floyd

[SydneyBrown4636]

Rest In Peace Daddy. October 3rd,1968-March 7th, 2011. Words cannot possibly explain how much I miss you. I listen to this song all the time, it helps me cope. I wish you were here, Daddio. We'll be together again someday</3

I love you x's infinity, I win.

[psychedelicshroom12]

If you don't wana see Avril Lavigne first in the search bar u could maybe.. idk type in PINK FLOYD first..??? -_- it doesn't matter what comes up first as long as i can get here and listen to this amazing song is good enough for me geez people..

[PIKI146]

who the fuck would dislike this?

[619chrismc]

@PIKI146 Evidently, 3,463 people have no taste in music

[PIKI146]

@619chrismc it appears unfortunably so

[noodles308]

tank man....

[xTommyStyl3zx]

Why I always get a lump in my throat when I hear this song? ....

[dozzo93]

stupenda!!

[bitmoresane]

Undecided? to the time of my own will tell

[wheresthecorporal]

Love this song so much.

The video was so great,

Or just when he used the windows XP background...

[wheresthecorporal]

@wheresthecorporal *wasn't so great

[TheFBomb2]

@wheresthecorporal u got no idea watchu talkin bout

[wheresthecorporal]

@TheFBomb2 Just saying at 1:36 he used the Windows XP grassy knoll background, perhaps could'v been done with somethin better

[zoink10101]

@wheresthecorporal go dig a hole and die in it people like you need to be shot

[wheresthecorporal]

@zoink10101 sorry, but wtf man?

Calm down i just said there couldv been a better picked picture than the windows XP background, i could understandyou saying that if i had critisized the music, fuck this is perhaps my favorite song of all time,

Chill the fuck out man and enjoy the music,

[litescript]

My best friend's brother just passed this week. RIP. His brother (my friend) and his dad and members of his band played this song. How they did it without breaking down I will never know. Courage from him? Perhaps? I was bawling the whole time. RIP good friend.

[MrBruisersdad]

a Pink Floyd or forum song is the LAST place on Earth anyone should expect racist comments

[XOHippiesRuleOX]

my favorite pink floyd song :)

[MrElmobn]

I would ask that from this point forward everyone ignore the racist assholes who continue to comment here.

[SaucerfulOfPinkFloyd]

@SAVETHECHILDREN6592 shut up and listen to the masterpiece.

[gearsguy1000]

ya guys shut the fuck up they have forums for that kinda shit

[punksickjordan]

this song never fails to make me happy when im feeling down

[wolfram54321]

Everyone talks about this RACE problem and says that this RACE problem will be over when the third world pours into EVERY White country and ONLY into White countries. Everyone says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” that is, intermarry, with all those non-Whites. According to the UN, this is genocide. They claim they are anti-racist, but what they are is anti-White. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

[AntiWhitesRwrong]

Did they support the global white genocide agenda?

[MrElmobn]

@AntiWhitesRwrong

@wolfram54321

Shut the fuck up, enjoy the good music and discuss your fallacy filled arguments elsewhere.

also wolf, stop yelling (caps), its annoying.

[janeyre7]

You are a" kindred" DragonFeast90. They are truly all of our enemy. We are ALL the Human Race my friend. Bravo!

[2112catch]

HOK DKD KKCNOSOFK CONPONASHKON HAK APPLE - AS KF YOK DON'K KNOK.

[ConfusedPingu]

When i type "pi" into the Youtube search bar it shows Pitbull and not Pink Floyd. That makes me sad. :(

[dancoy09]

[johnnywhiterabbit]

People talk about this RACE problem, and how this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country. They say the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e. intermarry, with all those non-whites. It’s really just the final solution to the white problem. It’s genocide. They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

[DragonFeast90]

our only enemy is the global elites my friend, not your fellow human race no matter what colour or religion we belive , we all bleed and die the same,, the sooner you and others relise like i have the better

[SAVETHECHILDREN6592]

White guilt kills. Rage from being disrespected could end.

The history of slavery is: they were WHITE AND THEY WERE SLAVES. We are white and wage slaves today and made to feel guilty for a system imposed on us.

Fight off white guilt with HORUS THE AVENGER and WHITE RABBIT RADIO.

Remember anti-racism is a code word for anti-white.

[MarkMuses]

@SAVETHECHILDREN6592 Damned right "White guilt kills".

We are part of the World. Genociding White people by social engineering is STILL genocide and loss of diversity.

An international crime when anyone is coerced to HATE their own heritage despite the HUGE contributions it has made.

END WHITE GENOCIDE

[MarkMuses]

I used to love this. Still do, sort of.

But I realised there is something very wrong with Western nihilism - and this track is the more optimistic of them!

Guess what, from a former libtard. I AM a nationalist today. No more shit from nihilsm for me.

I love my family. I love my kin, I love my racial group.

Call me ANYTHING you like. I will die with some honour which is more than many will.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

[lepapycloutier]

windows xp walpaper.. OH YEAH!

[vsouzao]

Some people were never taught RESPECT, they are clueless, living in the world in anger. It's sad. Thumbs up for PINK FLOYD!

[RedFeatherFae]

My favorite song... ever. :)

[Hex27tall]

Not a big Floyd fan, but, wish you were here dad. To the point, that at times, it seems unbearable. DET 08/61-10/07

[noquarter228]

This song is by far the greatest song i have ever heard.

[RichyWWproductions87]

Pink Floyd's music always gives me a sense of euphoria that i can't really explain.. Listening to this music puts me into a relaxing trance, making me not have a single care in the world.

[TribesClanMX]

R.I.P Dad.. It's almost been a year now. 56 is way too young to go.. It's hard to even go back and listen to your generation of music dad... I wish you could see me now, you'd be so proud of your son.. I was at a stubborn age, thought I knew everything, but reality hit me like a train when you left. I just wish you could see how far I made it in life..

[pegleg1955]

@TribesClanMX He does see you...he will always be with you...Floyd Forever

[Konvictedjeezy]

@TribesClanMX I feel ya man, my mom passed away a little bit more than a year ago, she was 52 years old.

[UnLeAsHeD982]

@TribesClanMX I love this , very well put, I'm sure he's proud of you and can see you from the heavens, I hope my kids say same thing if I ever go early. Peace...

[PuffPuffGivee]

@TribesClanMX mann my condolenses for your father, life isnt fair some times, my dad's 56 right now and idk how id handle it if he died, im not religious but my prayers are with you man<3

[1plumtea]

@TribesClanMX i came to this track for my father as well; he was murdered a month and a half ago at 58. i promise you he sees how far you've come. he was a part of it, and will always be. you are not alone. <3

[soccerboy7824]

@TribesClanMX i feel that my dad past away almost 2 years ago , that shits tough

[SchismDesign]

@TribesClanMX A real man is the one that accepts he has made mistakes in his life to get to a higher plateau in his life and accept the facts of life and the benefits of life learning. I'm sure your dad sees you now and is happy! I share the same sentiments with you for my loved ones that have passed.

[St3v3z]

@TribesClanMX Unless you found the cure to cancer you need to learn some modesty.

[contrastej]

@TribesClanMX I'll bet he's proud

[camrpc3]

@TribesClanMX im teared up man u gave me the chills RIP to your father....

[fancypanther04]

@TribesClanMX your dad is proud of you. i lost my mom and dad 4 years ago, and i still always think of them, and hope that they like the person i've become.

[mixwell1983]

@TribesClanMX - Wow you said almost exactly what I have about my dad.. My dad loved Stevie Ray Vaughan along with these classics.. This song also really hits me hard about my dad.. I hope you are getting along well, I do but every now and then I listen to some music my dad did and it kills me soul

[a76137]

Fuck weed, I can just get high off of this song right here...

[BrookeStonexChannel]

One of their best!

[dachshundfan]

its really sad that when you type in "wish you were here" pink floyd is the 4th search suggestion...

[DoggyDoggyStyle]

@dachshundfan Don't worry my friend. Type ''wish'' and it will be the first search suggestion !

[elhamaha1020]

[sandiegoled13]

[Ckaos1000]

my wife loved this band, as do I, and every time I hear this song it reminds me of her, and I do wish she was still here

[pavlikbro]

When I here this song I remember my brother Rick! He died in a car wreck! Miss him every day! Will miss him to the day I go! We both loved Floyd. Sorry to hear about your dad, Some of the best things in life is art and music! Stand tall and never try to walk in you dads shoes, be yourself and never forget to live! Be you! But never forget the folks that came before you and never forget to honor them!

[welllthatisthat]

how can someone dislike this?

[rickeel77]

Some ppl write utter shite!!!sit back,chill and enjoy the song!

[lordsmurfy]

Either evryones dads are suddenly dying or there's a lot of sad attention seekers on this video :L

[bkearney004]

@lordsmurfy A lot of people die, a lot of people like this song.

[vedderfan94]

I'm so sad right now...I just saw that the Avril Lavigne song 'Wish You Were Here' has more views than this.

[DoubleFeo]

@vedderfan94 does it matter??? did you enjoy this track and still enjoy it??? dont let new age ruin classic songs...let the gagas and avrils take their shine in this generation ...it will never spoil us from real music...

[Spont195]

watch my cover of comfortably numb solo! :D

[trupipeline1]

wow, all i can say is i feel sorry for who doesn't have this song in their life, i love you pink floyd.

[336walker]

[CrispyWaffle21]

watch?v=opLZh_4LsSI hey guys, this is my very first video, if you like rock, youll like this, comment and share your thoughts, id greatly appreiciate it, thanks!

[ItsJustAThing23]

Ever since I was little, I have been listening to Pink Floyd. They are by far my favorite band. My boyfriend's, too. He is in the Marine Corps, and we think of this as "our song". So many good memories happened with Pink Floyd playing in the background. 3 years and counting♥

[f4bfour]

phenomenal.

[TheMarquitopolo]

have anyone a good rip of this song ? i always hear a pc fan in the begining and a guy making noises....

[Belegnole]

@TheMarquitopolo

lol, that's part of the song. Just in case you didn't know.

[RiderOfFish]

@TheMarquitopolo Not only is that the start of the song, you want a rip of this song? When this awesome band produces a truly beautiful song, you want to deny them some recompense for their work, and enjoy their else's labours for free? The lyricists poured their heart and soul into this work. At least have the heart to pay them back for a truly beautiful experience
