One of the best combination of the musical talent of Gilmore and the poetry of Waters.

"Wish You Were Here" is a classic, heartfelt Pink Floyd tribute to their former bandmate who died. For anyone who's lost a close friend, you're bound to identify with this song.

Superb! A personal song for the band but Im sure we can apply to ourselves as well.

Easily the most personal song in the Pink Floyd Canon. While the songs on The Wall may be more naked and harrowing, they come off as too theatrical. This is the one time that Roger Waters seems honestly confessional to me and the simple understated delivery of David Gilmore's singing is way more effective than the anguished cry on songs like Empty Spaces or Mother.

Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? Pink Floyd tells stories that influence life.

Love this song, and ONLY Floyd's version of it. All remakes of this song suck. None can compare to the original.

No Pink Floyd song rates less than a 5, but this one is the cream of the crop. Masterful guitar work and excellent lyrics.

A touching song. Gilmour's talents for bringing out waterfalls of emotion using very few guitar notes is in full effect here. A masterpiece in every way.

Great song. Very underrated. Very good lyrics (what Pink Floyd song doesnt have good lyrics), and wonderful musicianship in one of the few acoustic sounding cuts from Pink Floyd.

Great song written as a sign of appreciation for Syd Barrett, who had been gone from the group for years.

Few can argue that this song has some of the best lyrics ever written. That and a beautiful guitar melody makes this one of Pink Floyd's all time classics. Well known the world over and with good reason.
