Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd album) album closes with a reprise of "Shine On" and further instrumental excursions. "I had some criticisms of "Dark Side of the Moon"…" noted David Gilmour. "One or two of the vehicles carrying the ideas were not as strong as the ideas that they carried. I thought we should try and work harder on marrying the idea and the vehicle that carried it, so that they both had an equal magic… It's something I was personally pushing when we made "Wish You Were Here"." Alan Parsons, EMI staff engineer for Pink Floyd's previous studio album, "The Dark Side of the Moon",
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.

"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.
