COVER “Wish You Were Here” - (If Mark Knopfler Played on This Song Alongside David Gilmour)

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE... (If Mark Knopfler played with David Gilmour a Pink Floyd song …)
** 1st version ** (2nd version • COVER V.2 “Wish You We... )
A personal cover of "Wish You Were Here" (Pink Floyd, 1975) inspired by Mark Knopfler's meeting with David Gilmour at British Grove Studios in London***.
David Gilmour - vocals (Al extracted voice from DVD "David Gilmour in Concert - 2001", en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_G...)
Paolo Kirschner - guitars
Massimo Sacchetto - piano and keyboards

INFO ABOUT THIS COVER-VERSION: DIRE STRAITS BLOG (August 26, 2023)
Listen to How It Sounds “Wish You Were Here” If Mark Knopfler Played on This Song Alongside David Gilmour
direstraitsblog.com/blog/wish...
---------------------------------------------------
SOME CLARIFICATIONS:
- IT’S A SIMPLE COVER: it's NOT (obviously) Mark playing, but the guitar tracks (rhythm and solo) as well as the piano and keyboards are recorded by Massimo and me as written at the beginning of the video.
- AI was used EXCLUSIVELY to isolate Gilmour's voice from the DVD (David Gilmour in Concert - 2001), i.e. to have the vocal track without the instruments.
- The idea was to 'superimpose' Gilmour's real voice on a COVER played in a style inspired by the photograph of Mark's meeting with David.
- It is a COVER that is only meant to be - with great respect and humility - a personal suggestion: thanks for listening.

***Feb 25, 2023
Polly Samson recently shared the news on her social media platforms that David Gilmour has been recording new music at Mark Knopfler’s British Grove Studios in London.
Further details came to light when longtime Mark Knopfler engineer and producer Guy Fletcher shared on his Instagram platform, “I recorded David yesterday for the TCT project. It was great to see him and Polly. (And their dogs!)”

Wow. Just wow. One of my favourite songs of all time played in the style of my favourite musician. This genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.

Brace yourselves! This is guitar talent massively skyrocketing to a galactic umpteenth power!!! How about a “Brothers in arms” version in Guilmour’s style?👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌👍

Wundervoll. Welch ein Künstler, welch eine Musik. Zeitlos, einmalig!

[@sigCarLux]

Quando abbiamo visto quella fotografia abbiamo pensato tutti a una congiunzione astrale di questo tipo. Due universi vicini e paralleli che si incrociano, e tu con questa invenzione immaginata da tutti ci hai portati un po' piu' vicini all'incrocio, che tutti sappiamo essere all'infinito.

[@phk-music]

Grazie tantissime: sono contento che qs mio contributo sia stato compreso nel suo intento. La mia voleva essere una "suggestione" nata da quella fotografia, una fotografia che - come hai detto tu - ha suscitato, in tanti di noi, la speranza di una "congiunzione astrale all'infinito" di due mondi musicali paralleli.. grazie delle tue parole 🙂

Well. First of all my compliments to Paolo or Knopflerizing the Wish You Were Here solo's so impeccably! I've always dreamed my two favorite guitarists would record something together. Lets hope Mark makes at least a few guest appearances on Gilmour's songs!

[@phk-music]

Thank you! "Knopflerizing" is a beautiful word...! ;-)

[@GjaP_242]

Pink Floyd were the architects of two major music movements-psychedelic space-rock and blues-based progressive rock-and became known for their biting political, social and emotional commentary. 3:03 [Rock Hall]

[@GjaP_242]

“Wish You Were Here” deals with that mental inability - the refusal, even - to engage with reality, and it served as much as a rallying for Waters as a sad tribute to Barrett's better days.

[@GjaP_242]

"Wish You Were Here" is a song by English rock band Pink Floyd. It was released as the title track of their 1975 album of the same name.

[@GjaP_242]

Roger Waters based the song on a poem he wrote about Syd Barrett's break from reality. In a 2022 interview on the Joe Rogan Experience, he clarified that "Wish You Were Here" was "partially" about Barrett, adding, "And I do wish he was here." 3:33 [Songfacts]
