Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd song) 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". David Gilmour and Roger Waters collaborated to write the music, and Gilmour sang the lead vocal. In 2011, the song was ranked No. 324 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In the original album version, the song segues from "Have a Cigar" as if a radio had been tuned away from one station, through several others (including a radio play and one playing the opening of the finale movement of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony),
You Were Here was bumped when Rudy Giuliani's first post-9/11 appearance ran overtime. The album's title track is a tribute to her former Weeping Tile bandmate Joe Chithalen, who died in 1999. The Art Of Time Ensemble featuring Sarah Slean recorded a Roberto Occhipinti arrangement of "Lodestar" on their 2009 album "Black Flowers". The album was warmly received. "TIME" ranked "You Were Here" in its year-end Top Ten list, calling it the year's best debut album. "You Were Here" was named the 24th greatest Canadian album of all time in Bob Mersereau's 2007 book "The Top 100 Canadian Albums". Music critic Lisa M.
