In case there's someone in the universe who don't know it, it's a song for Syd Barrett who had a mental breakdown and left the band. The start of the song is supposed to be like someone listening to a song on the radio and playing along.
Beautiful, powerful .. and easy to play on a guitar  I played this a lot when I was learning. |
I managed to do a speech at my lovers funeral and I ended with " and in the words of my favourite band 'How I Wish You Were Here' my love."
The really odd thing here is that a song that means so much to someone can seem inconsequential in the context of this thread as we all have different perspectives on life.
What is emotional and lyrically pertinent to one person is inconsequential to another person depending on their circumstances.
This will do for me though.
