I heard this song in September of 89. It was Norfolk Virgina, And I met a man named Randall Claire Thompson. He handed me a tape for my ride home to Florida. It was about two months later I heard he died. This song will forever hold a place in my heart. How I wish he was still here. Amazing man, amazing friend..
Voices on the radio. Voice #1: "—'gainst and disciplinary remains, mercifully." Interviewer: "Yes, and, and now with you Derek, this star nonsense..." Derek: "Yes, yes." Interviewer: "Now which is it..." Derek: "...Oh, I'm sure of it..."
When my grandmother passed about 2 years ago, my family decided to clear out her old pantry which was becoming a catch-all room. Out of the blue we found a bag with coloring books and crayons, dated Aug. 27, 2001. (Today is Aug. 27, 2011) She gave me those things when I was 5, and after I got tired of using them she put them in that bag. I still have a lot of pages to color in, but I'll keep those going down, the line, because she saved those... miss you grandma... I wish you were still here...
I love this song for the memories it recalls for me. Though it's my opinion that their music improved post-Barret, this is a beautiful tribute to him just the same.
Songs don't have set meanings people. The meanings are what the song means from a person's perspective. To me it means something else then it might mean the members of pink floyd. It's all about what you think it means, not what it was meant to mean.
@7h3tSLDR02 well when pink floyd made this album it was right after a member of the band broke up from the band and they wrote this song "wish you were here" in their album :)
This song is so perfect it defies description. The sadness and unfulfilled promise of Syd Barrett is also a metaphor of so many of our own lives. Like Brad Pitt saying in "Fight Club" we were told we were gonna be 'rock stars and sports heroes' couldn't have been more true. From family, friends, and people from all walks of life encourage our eventual failures, because everyone wants to be rich, adored and in control of their own lives with nobody to answer to. It's so rare that anyone makes it.
hahahahaha tanx dude !!!!you should go watch some of theoldgeneration's videos!!he is inzane on the guitar ! tanx....Now I'm Working on born to be wild so i.m gonna try to upload it soon :)

So the slight cough, sniffling, little grunt, yawn, and chair creaking, are supposed to be part of the song? Am I seriously the only one?
