I've been listening to Pink Floyd for 30 years now, heard this song a million times. And it still has the power to make me cry.

[@ImJustMe39]

I was turned on to Pink Floyd by a friend in 9th or 10th grade. It was Welcome to the Machine. First time for some recreational herbals as well,lol. Damn that's over 40 years ago. Now I really feel old. Also, the first time I saw The Wall, I was completely sober, and I understood it. Then I watched in after partaking of some herb and understood it even more. What does that say about my brain. Lol.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

For sure my mom loved Pink Floyd enough to buy me a Fender in the 80s so I played and sang this one and Mother for her.

[@ImJustMe39]

@TrianglesAndCircles That awesome. At one point, I remember seeing David Gilmore fully wired Fender pick guards. It came with the same pups, the same volume/tone pots, and wired to his specs. It was around the same time Fender released an anniversary edition of David's famous "Blackie" Fender. All set up the same as his guitar. I kind of remember the guitar selling for $4000 and the pre-wired pup/pick guards selling for about $500-$700. So, if you couldn't afford the signature guitar, you could just swap out your pick guard/pups. I'm not a guitar player, so I passed on both.

Syd Barrett's decline was so rapid and so tragic that is has become legendary in rock history. He was the original lead singer and song writer for the band in their early days. They scored a huge hit in the UK with "See Emily Play" but drugs and mental issues caused him to decline fast and hopelessly into insanity. David Gilmour, Syd's college friend, took over as lead guitarist.

[@dylans2376]

This song always cuts to anyone’s heart strings if they’ve ever lost someone close

[@kerrykelly3699]

Years ago, when I graduated high school, I got a job at a fast food place. The boss there played guitar. I learned to play (after a fashion) and when he taught me a song, I would practice it for eight hours a day, seven days a week. This was one of my favorites. I learned this in about 3 days. He was amazed. Sadly, Junior College led me astray from a wasted life as a musician that I oh so wanted to engage in.

No intoxicants of any sort are needed when listening to Pink Floyd. All the trip necessary is in the music itself. This is one of my all-time favorite songs because it has special meaning to me so I was glad to see you cover it. But I hope at some point you start reviewing the full albums. Most of them only really become clear when you listen to the songs all at once, in order. It makes a big difference.

Been listening to this for 45 years. Still love it. Timeless. I've always considered it about regret, so kind of a sad theme. Sad is good now and again.

[@Irish381]

Every time I hear this song I get flashbacks to the summer of autumn of 1993 watching the movie dazed and confused in a drive in movie theater. It was so surreal to watch that movie later on a blockbuster video rental . It got played at every one of my marine corps buddies funeral wakes .

If you actually want to see David Gilmour vocalize do the the same song during the 1994 Pulse concert. Most people who watch them play that song for the first time usually look shocked when they see Mr Gillmore vocalizing because they all thought it was some kind of an instrument or synthesizer!!

Pink Floyd do not just write song; they craft experiences. To be truly appreciated, each album should be listened to as a whole, as should this full concert, as the experiences add up to a journey. Further, each journey is unique to each individual listening and may take you somewhere different each time you listen.

Hi Diane, thank you for listening to this song. I was 11 or 12 when my uncle who was 15 or 16 brought this album home as he lived with us to stay off the Indian Rez, so He and my big brother are only 3 months apart in age. Anyhoooo! We had this album along with ***Boston - Lyndard Skyinard - Kraftwork!*** Ah the SALAD DAYS OF VINYL!!! 1976!!!

[@martinkasper197]

This is one of my favourite PF Songs, because it sounds so relaxed..Despite the background of the song...

[@mikeshaffer4912]

This was the first song I ever learned when I started learning acoustic guitar in '98. One of the most fun times I had playing it was after a lesson in the guitar shop my lessons started out in. I talked to two teenaged/early 20's aged guys about music and what they liked. Eventually, they picked up a six and twelve string guitar, respectively and I was on my six string acoustic. All three of us fell into a version of this song because I'd just learned it. Talk about an awesome jam session!

[@mikeh720]

The album that this was originally released on (Wish You Were Here) is one that fit the CD format even better than the vinyl format. It tells a contiguous story that is emotional and moving. A lot of PF's album also tell a story, but the A-side/B-side either hit from a different view point or a before/after scenario. Syd's story is a sad one, similar to Brian Wilson's (The Beach Boys) in that their mental health issues really robbed the world of their presence and them of an identity in the real world. An alternative (simpler) take on this track is one of missing part of oneself or a very close companion and being very lonely for it, but encouraging the singer/listener to push forward, to not accept that position, and to take the reigns of their life and drive in the direction they want. And that's my sober response...I've definitely had some serious(?) discussions about this whole album while being far less than sober. Cheers Diane, keep it up with the amazing selections you've been choosing from our recommendations. 💚 to you, Chewie, and ED.

[@DianeJennings]

[@DianeJennings]

Hi Trudes!

[@peterjamesfoote3964]

Poob! This song and it’s album were my introduction to psychedelic rock in my junior year of high school. It’s not just a laid back trippy song but an innovative existentialist examination of loss and distance from reality. This is a theme to be found in much of the band’s music through the album and film “The Wall”. Much of Britain lost their lives in WWII, not only troops on the front, but women and children as well through Nazi bombings of England. Band members grew up in the post war era where many fathers and brothers had been lost in the war leaving much of England without significant role models. So who has been lost? Who is Derek? Well, everyone who has been lost or suffering from loss. I understood this song much better after the loss of my fiancée Peggy in the crash of AA flight 191 at O’Hare in 1969, a crash that should never have happened. At this point the song’s meaning changed for me from an easy quiet reflective feast for the ears, to a reflection on sadness and loss and the feeling of helplessness and indirection that comes with it. Prior to the crash, my life was laid out before me with a clear direction and path. Afterwards, like most people after a great personal tragedy I felt lost and overwhelmed and romantic relationships of any kind became horribly risky to me. It would be 15 years before I met my wife Anna and real healing began. The existential impact of war on society is often misunderstood by those who advocate for war having no connection with the losses of the last war. Yet like any work of art, the song also reaches those who face minor less important losses that move them. Reflections on post WWII society, alienation and how Britain did and did not cope well with young people in the post war era become a major theme in Floyd’s music. Other Pink Floyd songs to listen to: Money, Breathe, Comfortably Numb, The Great Gig in the Sky, Another Brick in the Wall (part 2), Us and Them, Time. As always I really enjoyed your reaction.

[@lawrencedavis9246]

Sorry to hear of your loss. You aren't the only person in this comment stream to lose someone that way. It is hard to not have the time to say goodbye.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Hi Diane! A great song, a song that gives testimony to the frailties in life. Sid, in the early years of the band helped give Pink Floyd the direction that makes them such an iconic band today. Sid Barret wasn't the only one who was a casualty of mental illness. Peter Green, one of the founding members of Fleetwood Mac, also suffered from a mental illness that caused him to be dropped from the group. Give Chewie my love, you never cease to amaze me . Love you and I'll catch you Friday!

Poor old Syd fell to bits in the early 70's and he really missed out on Pink Floyd's best work, yet he must have been pleased, yet disappointed that he didn't get to contribute to these masterpieces in a way he wanted to. He did contribute via the love and affection the boys had for him which is why his presence was always found in their work.

[@CapnDan57]

Great review, Diane! This really was a thought provoking album as tribute to Syd Barrett ("Wish You Were Here" & "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"), and also a cynical stab at the record industry ("Have a Cigar" & "Welcome to the Machine"). In those days, it was not unusual for concept albums to have fewer, longer songs, in this case four. Note that "Shine On..." is split into Parts I -V and Parts VI-IX. Barrett's mental health issues were certainly exacerbated by his extreme use of hallucinogenic drugs in the 60's. I think you could relate to the two songs about the "Industry", being similar to acting. The cover art depicts one man "getting burned" in a business handshake... Hope you're having a Wonderful Wǝᴉɍdnesday!

My sister and I were visiting Edinburgh Scotland last Fall. As anyone knows who lives there or visits, there is always a bagpiper playing on Princes Street, usually traditional tunes.

I'll suggest "Bike" from Piper at the Gates of Dawn as a Syd Barrett track to check out. It was written by Syd and is very much a psychedelic rock song. It's quite different from later Pink Floyd but there are definitely hints of later tracks like "Time" for example. I don't think you're ready for "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" yet, but it's one of my favorites of Syd's.

My all time favorite line in a song,”did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?” Thank you for reviewing this one

Another of my favorite bands!

One of my favorites...since I first heard it in the 70s.

I have been a Floyd fan for almost 50 years. Love the CD Wish you where here

Thanks for a listen to a lovely song (old_person_voice)from the olden days(/old_person_voice)! Happy International Chocolate Day to you and ED! (And a hug to Chewie.)

Hahaha!!! The fact that your listeners told you to be “tripping balls” while listening is absolutely hilarious. And how you addressed it was ever funnier! 😂😂😂😂You have a new follower! 😂❤

Way back in the 1970s, I bought a new stereo (turn table, speakers, etc.) and my favorite song to play was "Wish you were here" to demonstrate for friends the sound quality, especially the AM radio vs. live guitar duet Magnificent!
