LivingDeadAlive, Got it completely right. Read exactly what Richard Wright said.
Shame that amazing guy's gone now :
I cried when I heard.
Pink floyd is a amazing band end of story. And people don't write your meanings if you don't know the song or the band.
Tiptonj you're just way off from the meaning of the song. You know nothing. He wrote this song about his "BEST" friend "Syd Barrett ". one of the founding members of pinkfloyd. He did have a drug addiction but he didnt die from it, he just got mentally ill. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2006. He also quit the band or was no longer part of PinkFloyd in 68. The entire album "Wish you Were Here" referers to his feeling of Syd Barrett. Stop believing the media, and READ WHAT THE FUCKING COMPOSER RICHARD WRIGHT SAID. You people know shit.
this is my most favorite song. every time i hear this song it reminds me of my grandfather that died four yrs ago. i cry because i wish he was here with me.
