Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

來介紹一個流行樂界傳奇─Pink Floyd─英國經典搖滾團。

他們在 1973 年發行的專輯「The Dark Side of the Moon」,寫下一頁又一頁輝煌的歷史:
一、到 2006 年為止,它為美國音樂史上最暢銷的專輯,達到一千五百萬張(鑽石級!)。
二、登上英國排行榜,前後共 301 週(快六年)。
三、在美國 Billboard 200 排行榜,更創下史無前例的 741 週(十多年!) 

很不可思議吧?!


但他們還有更暢銷的專輯呢。六年後,也就是1979 年的「The Wall」,拿下兩千三百萬張的超高記錄! 

選一首我很喜歡的「Wish You Were Here」,與您分享。

錄音室版




So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have you found? The same old fears.

Wish you were here.
