IPod Essentials #20: "Wish You Were Here"--Pink Floyd

This Essential is decidated to those people who are no longer with us, either physically or emotionally.

This song is one of Floyd's finest. It's purposeful and plaintive. This is one song that should never be remade by a band or artist. It's a weeping ballad of loss. David Gilmour's vocals convey this fact so well: "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl/Year after year."
