Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd Song)

"Wish You Were Here" is the title track on Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here. Its lyrics encompass Roger Waters' feelings of alienation from other people. Like most of the album, it refers to former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett and his breakdown. David Gilmour and Waters collaborated to write the music.

In 2004, the song was ranked #316 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
