This album is basically a period of great catharsis. Syd barrett had sunken deeper into his drug-createdpsychosis ("Now there's a look in your eyes/Like black holes in the sky"), and all members of The Floydhurt because of their fallen friend.Waters dedicated Wish You Were Here to Syd. All of the songs and music was a personal tribute to the Madcap; this set was Waters's own want to tell Barrett's story, and every note of this great session (like DarkSide of the Moon before it) drew a grave, yet proper and provocative, portrait of the man whose entire bodyof work was the main blueprint for acid and space rockers everywhere.This set was Waters's answer to "Oh, by the way,/ which one's pink?"
