I agree wmfjames. TOOL has taken the banner on great, intense, relaxing (at times), thought provoking music.

This was my lulaby in 1975, what a calming collection of melodic tones in a harmoney of seratonean inducing measures.
what happen to that wedding song !!! we are your fans!!!!
wmfjames
TOOL and Floyd the best bands ever take music to a whole new level of enlightenmen t
They sure dont make music like they used to!Rock on Pink Floyd
If I could listen to Gilmour play that stat over and over for the rest of my life, I would die a very happy man. R.I.P. Syd.
inflicted
Dubstep kids think they know what a drop is...
They will always be my #1 band.
Best album of theirs
RIP Syd

Hey
The publisher has an amazing last name. Artimus .......well, you know the rest.
Enlightened (sp), or reignited ones, however you wish to see it.
We have reconciled a reconsolidat e d transaction, upon further renegotiatio n and any need for liquidation of assets has been postponed and all liabilities have been permanently lifted. We are the enightened ones.


sincerely yours,

love this song
I have this on 3 diff CD's ... yes let it play, let it play again..again all parts:)
One of the most hypnotic songs I have ever heard
Hypnotic and haunting. This is a master piece IMO.
Hypnotizing! Would love to put this on constant re-play.

Synesthesia sounds like a condition that is appointed to the great artists and poets of human history. Maybe Bon Dylan has this, and doesn't even realize it. Interesting.
SOYCD - The music on this is just breathtaking . Ambient and flowing. Blistering sax and guitar work. It weaves into soft and fast with ease and soars withot limit. - Synesthesia is a neurological disorder. Look it up as it is a great read about something that needs far more research. Others to be said to have it include: Billy Joel, Nikola Tesla, Franz Liszt, and Duke Ellington. - Back to the song, the boys put a lot into this piece and it shows. It is beautiful, longing, and even no
@crazydiamon d u s a never heard of that condition. If I offended anyone, I apologize. I just believe that you can interpret lyrics to suit your own agenda. Don't want to get into an argument. I pay more attention to the music than the lyrics. Peace!
Larrydouglas , you should not tell people how to listen to music or what is important or not. Syd had a condition known as synesthesia; he could hear colors, which had a great deal to with how he created music. The civil rights movement of crazy people (the C/X/S Movement) frequently embraces this song as an anthem, precisely because of the lyrics. We are a people at great risk and in the USA, vilified, incarcerated & forced into soul-sucking treatment (drugging & electroshock )
Rev Bob. Think that the fact that "wish you were here" is a tribute to Syd was confirmed several years ago. Try not to pay so much attention to the lyrics. Listen to the MUSIC!
Is everyone around their 50s?
@rfisher. Got it. Thanks!
Space Rock? Its Rock. Critics!
Wish you were here. Gilmour at his best! Armor piercing guitar. Keyboard isn't bad either.
Top 5 brilliantly composed and wildly eclectic rock tunes of all times ofcourse who else but PF. never tire of it..
Saw PF live in Baton Rouge, LA in late 70's. played wish you were here & dark side of the moon. Best concert I have ever seen.
Shine on parts one thru four. Doorway to what I consider their best album. With all respect given to Darkside!
Poor crazy Syd
cowniew
I totally agree with Rev Rob on his comment on the album Wish You Were Here. Having grown up at the time and being an original Floyd fan from the Barrett era there is just no better way to put it.
I wish Dad weren't watching the game so I could truly experience this masterpiece.

How the heck am I supposed to get my work done when this comes on! All I can do is kick back in my chair, close my eyes and take the trip. So damn mind blowing.
Just think. If we didn't have Pink Floyd, we wouldn't have Tool- well we might've had only a few good songs from them. Life would be totally different O.O
This. Is. A chill. Song. 'Specially when ur baked stoned what have you. Trip like beginning lol. Oover chill
I ran out to get this album as soon as it came out and was totally blown away as this song slowly revealed itself. What a great followup to dark side of the moon. I've been listening to PF for decades. Love it!
love this band.. they started electro music
sirarmysuit4 9 , did you live next door to me in san diego in the 70's? ha! anything that stops me in my tracks every time i experience it- for 40 years- is magnificent!
Trivia time . What is this Steel Breeze they speak of ????
I get stoned just listening to this song. Damn I love the Floyd!
When I make a movie, I shall use this song
darren593
Intense keyboards, reminds me of Dream Theater Octivarium,
I was in seventh grade when this album was released. DE
Crazy Song one of my favs by them
Don't think there is anything better
You could go to the bathroom, fix yourself a sandwich, eat it, and the song would still be going.
When I was young, you either went to discos or you went to see Pink Floyd and the Zep. I didn't go to any discos.... thankyou boyzzzzz for some of the best music of all time.
