These singers were Roy Harper, who provided the lead vocals on " Have a Cigar", and the Blackberries, who added backing vocals to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".Wish You Were Here &232 il nono album in studio del gruppo musicale britannico Pink Floyd, pubblicato nel 1975 dalla Harvest/EMI in Europa e, successivamente in Giappone e, dalla Columbia/Sony nel resto del mondo.
At QVC we were strongly encouraged to write for the website and I did in. Neki tekstovi tematiziraju glazbenu branu i. Tema albuma je alijenacija, degradacija ljudskih odnosa i kritika poduzea i drave koji tretiraju ljudska bia kao stvari. (1973.) (1975.) (1977.)

"Shine On" crosses seamlessly into " Welcome to the Machine", a song that begins with an opening door (described by Waters as a symbol of musical discovery and progress betrayed by a music industry more interested in greed and success) and ends with a party, the latter epitomising "the lack of contact and real feelings between people". Wish You Were Here is also a critique of the music business. Barrett is fondly recalled with lines such as "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun" and "You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon".
The entire piece had to be re-recorded. On one occasion, Humphries inadvertently spoiled the backing tracks for "Shine On", a piece that Waters and drummer Nick Mason had spent many hours perfecting, with echo. Humphries was therefore the natural choice to work on the band's new material, although as a stranger to EMI's Abbey Road set-up he encountered some early difficulties. The group had worked with engineer Brian Humphries on More, recorded at Pye Studios, and again in 1974 when he replaced an inexperienced concert engineer. The album closes with a reprise of "Shine On" and further instrumental excursions.Alan Parsons, EMI staff engineer for Pink Floyd's previous studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon, had declined the band's offer to continue working with them (Parsons became successful in his own right with The Alan Parsons Project). The lyrics of the next song, " Wish You Were Here", relate both to Barrett's condition, and to the dichotomy of Waters' character, with greed and ambition battling with compassion and idealism.
All your childhood dreams had been sort of realised and we had the biggest selling records in the world and all the things you got into it for. It was a very difficult period I have to say. Mason has since stated that Nick Kent's criticism in the NME may have had some influence in keeping the band together. Gilmour was also becoming increasingly frustrated with Mason, whose failing marriage had brought on a general malaise and sense of apathy, both of which interfered with his drumming.
The three new compositions from 1974's tour were at least a starting point for a new album, and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" seemed a reasonable choice as a centrepiece for the new work. That’s all we were doing until suddenly everything started falling into place.” After several weeks, Waters began to visualise another concept. We had a dartboard and an air rifle and we’d play these word games, sit around, get drunk, go home and return the next day. I don’t think they knew what they wanted to do. Everything had sort of come our way and you had to reassess what you were in it for thereafter, and it was a pretty confusing and sort of empty time for a while .Humphries said his point of view of these struggled sessions in a 2014 interview: “There were days when we didn’t do anything.
Gilmour disagreed, but was outvoted three to one. Waters wanted to split "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and sandwich two new songs between its two halves. Gilmour had composed the phrase entirely by accident, but was encouraged by Waters' positive response.
The band were in the process of completing the final mix of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" when an overweight man with shaven head and eyebrows, and holding a plastic bag, entered the room. Syd Barrett's visit to the studioOne of the more notable events during the recording of Wish You Were Here occurred on 5 June 1975, the day Gilmour married his first wife, Ginger, on the eve of Pink Floyd's second US tour that year. That sort of indefinable, inevitable melancholy about the disappearance of Syd." "Raving and Drooling" and "You Gotta Be Crazy" had no place in the new concept, and were set aside until the following album, 1977's Animals.
Mason also failed to recognise him and was "horrified" when Gilmour identified him. Gilmour initially presumed he was an EMI staff member. Wright was also mystified by the identity of the visitor, presumed he was a friend of Waters' and asked him, but soon realised that it was Syd Barrett.
Barrett said he had a large refrigerator in his kitchen, and that he had been eating lots of pork chops. He sat round and talked for a bit but he wasn't really there." Waters was reportedly reduced to tears by the sight of his former bandmate, who was asked by fellow visitor Andrew King how he had managed to gain so much weight. Storm Thorgerson later reflected on Barrett's presence: "Two or three people cried.
