@Daracon1010 <----- and one person is stupid for believing in stereotypes.. Not everyone who likes pink floyd uses drugs dumbass.

[sammyboy123321]

@Daracon1010 and your a douche bag, which is worse?

[gumbyfire1]

[0besehawk]

today is the year anniversary of a junior at my school who killed himself. During the candlelight vigil this song was stuck in my head. RIP even though I barely knew you, you've had such a massive impact on my life

[NTLY100]

27.02 heureuse que toi aussi tu y penses ..... Bertrand....

[gabester2011]

AHHHH i was born to freaking late

[JohnDuvernell]

Floyd!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yah!!!!!!

[cperry7817]

This is my favorite song of all time!!! It reminds me of my father who committed suicide 7 years ago this month. Floyd was his favorite band. I love you dad and I miss you terribly!!!

[LudoRock15]

How can anyone NOT like this song?! There's like 3500 people with bad taste in music or they all accidently hit the wrong button!

[rfr62409]

My brother and friend played this when they announced my brother's death. Most heart wrenching moment of my life, but I will forever love this song. RIP Jimmy, 6/5/1988-6/24/2009

[Bstuchlik]

Wish you were here, great song by a great band

[DRR4BBIT]

i listen to this all the time when im happy as fuck it makes me feel even happier

[Tedza0]

you start typing wish you were here in youtube and it suggests avril lavigne, depressing : (

[Bstuchlik]

@Tedza0 that truly is sad

[jordanmylesevans]

Pink Floyd weren't musicians, they were wizards, this is magic.

[ginsburgman]

3746 people have no soul, no legitimacy and no taste in music

[isaachaze1]

@ginsburgman or else they were too stoned to hit the right button :)

[Meatwad8888]

Been my favorite song by Pink Floyd since I first heard it, and one of my favorite songs ever.

[yourpikissmall]

i have this song on my mp3 player and i lisen to it all day!

[theycalledmebob]

lmao 1:33 all i could think was... WINDOWS XP!

[SilenceSoSudden]

@theycalledmebob lol i know it was awesome \

[mitchhak2]

WTF?! why is it when i type in "wish you were here" on the youtube search bar, the first suggestion is "wish you were here avril lavign"?!?! she sucks, this is the original. FUCK NEW MUSIC!

[MrGeneralJitters]

@mitchhak2 Fuck new music? All new music isn't bad, the quality musicians are still here in numbers, you just have to know where to look. If you want good new music maybe check out some of my songs on here, I might even do a cover of this song. New music isn't dead, just the people who make it should be.

[mitchhak2]

@MrGeneralJitters no way, there are perhaps 5 maybe 10 good songs a year that will not go out of style and be great songs. most suck and go outta style in a month. send me a few good new songs ill tell ya what i think. also, im not just talking new rock, im talking rap, hip hop and country, which i all hate.

[39LFC]

3,465 susan boyle fans

[lauryngray]

i love this song my mom used to sing it to me when i was going through bad times its a shame what happened to music? you dont see good music any more. all you see is drugs, murder, hate, curse words, sex, and racism no more good music like this!

[Zexphr]

this song should be the firt search result not fuckin carrie underwood

[slipknotfan112233]

no one could give a fuck of your age, if your a teen or an adult it doesn't matter. we just want the music.

[albert90040]

una maravilla de la musica

[CinnamonPopz]

Why hello there. I am 17 years old. Contrary to popular belief, I listen to this type of music. In the society of today, people aren't exposed to this genre much, so they instinctively judge what they don't know. But I do listen to this stuff. I listen to a lot of music. And I know a lot of people who would listen to PF and JB interchangeably. Not all people of society are snobby and discriminatory of other song genres. You just have to ignore the ones that are and enjoy yourself.

[beatleforce1]

@CinnamonPopz you sir, deserve top comment.

[jencsoco74]

Best Floyd song ever!!

[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

[AngelMikey22]

@bluesboy25000 that really sucks he died really young. Sorry for your guy's loss...

[leigh3034]

@bluesboy25000 so sorry to heare that, its a difficult disease. My grandfather, cousin and an aunt have this disease also. I am sorry for yor loss.

[moguy200979]

@bluesboy25000 Isn't it weird how some of the most influential musicians (the actual songwriters) are messed up somehow? Interesting, to say the least

[GrowsmartHydroponics]

@moguy200979 It's this "messed up" that gives the talent necessary to be that creative. Being a drone and thinking like one makes you the same as every other drone.

[moguy200979]

@GrowsmartHydroponics And every other "drone" that made him a big hit. I love Pink Floyd

[lxKazxl]

@bluesboy25000 Cool story bro

[HeroOfZeus]

@bluesboy25000 thats sad :'c

[xHollyAnne]

@bluesboy25000 how did he die? :( you cant die of things like that

[bluesboy25000]

@xHollyAnne During his break, there was an accident. That's all I can say

[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

[juan16911]

@ThePoorlittlerichgir I like this song either way. but thanks for the advice, ill be sure to listen to it poor little rich girl.

[DontClickMyUsername]

@juan16911 YES

[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!

[boomblind12]

@ExitStageLeft3443 imagine listening to this song AGAIN for the first time ... anytime.

[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.

[chikadooka]

@St3v3z MAJORITY!!...

[St3v3z]

@chikadooka I enjoyed reading your post and though there was much i dissagreed with I can see the point you were trying to make and accept its validity.

[xHollyAnne]

@St3v3z teenagers don't listen to teen rock, 11 year olds do. (a lot of) teenagers listen to pink floyd

[St3v3z]

@xHollyAnne Simply not true. Teams these days generally accept Pink Floyd as a good band but rarely listen to them or know many of their songs. I would be surprised if more than 10% of teens could name 5 Floyd songs.

[nightmarebeforeXmas8]

@St3v3z I was raised with Pink FLoyd haha and I'm 16!

I know more than five songs: Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Welcome To The Machine, Another Brick In The Wall, Hey You, Is There Anybody Out There?, Money, Goodbye Blue Sky, and Dark Side Of The Moon. That's nine! haha I have listened to many others, but I can't remember them right now, haha. Not all teens are the same dummy, haha. I was raise on 80's music, 70's, 60's, 90's bascially all kinds of music!

[St3v3z]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 Which isnt shocking considering you are on a Floyd video on YT.... I didnt say NO teenagers love them. It is simply fact that the vast majority are not big fans. Just like a large % of them probably dont even know who bands like Dire Striaghts and The Levellers are dispite them being massivly populare just a decade or 2 ago.

[totsmcgoats14]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 lololol named the most popular songs. alot of teenagers listen to pink floyd. Do you even know what Piper at the Gates of Dawn is? or who Syd Barrett is? Echoes in Pompeii? btw im 17. Teenagers are big fans of floyd.

[Cloudking88]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 so chill.

[RyanXWing]

@nightmarebeforeXmas8 Dark side of the moon isn't a song.

[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 -.-

[SquallLionhart409]

@chan12898 Trolling on Bieber's page accounts for about 3/4s of the views... still there's something wrong with the internet.

[sirmark111]

@chan12898 Justin Bieber!! Who the hell is that?????

[fdaapproved]

@chan12898 not to mention this video has been up since 2006 before beibers time

[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.
