The story behind Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” is one of the most moving in Rock History.

The song (and the entire album) was composed primarily by Roger Waters and David Gilmour in 1975, two years after the massive success of The Dark Side of the Moon. At that time, the band was on top of the world, but Roger Waters felt a great void. That void had a name: Syd Barrett, the founder and original creative genius of Pink Floyd.

Syd had been expelled from the band in 1968 due to his severe mental health issues, exacerbated by excessive LSD use. By 1975, he had been completely disconnected from public life for years. Waters wrote the lyrics with him in mind: a mix of nostalgia, guilt, and sadness over the absence of his old friend.

During the album’s recording at Abbey Road Studios, Syd Barrett showed up unexpectedly one day. No one recognized him at first. He had gained a lot of weight, shaved his head and eyebrows, and was carrying a plastic bag of candy. He was acting strangely and asked if he could play on the record. The band members were stunned and deeply moved. That encounter left a deep impression on everyone, especially Waters and Gilmour.

“Wish You Were Here” is literally a wish that Syd were there, enjoying the success he had helped create but could no longer be a part of.

The album Wish You Were Here was released in September 1975 and became one of Pink Floyd’s best-selling and most beloved albums. The title track remains a universal anthem about absence, lost friendship, and melancholy.

Today it is considered one of the greatest rock ballads of all time and a lasting tribute to Syd Barrett, who died in 2006.

Oorah …

I am reminded of an old army story. In 1945 the New Zealand Division fought a costly street-by-street battle against the retreating German army to take the city of Trieste in northern Italy. Once the city was secured, the Americans decided a victory parade was in order, to be headed by the elite US Marines. It was pointed out that the Americans had arrived after the battle had finished and that the fighting had been done by the New Zealanders. The Italian campaign was nevertheless being run by US Army command and the parade went ahead as planned. In front came the US Marines, with a large banner bearing their emblem and the words ‘US Marines. Second to None’. Behind them marched the New Zealanders carrying a large sheet upon which was written the word ‘None’.

A large number of road closures or restrictions are now in place across parts of outback South Australia due to incoming floodwaters from Queensland. This includes the Strzelecki Track.

Conditions in the outback are unpredictable and may change quickly.
