It\u2019s now 50 years since\u00a0Pink Floyd\u00a0unveiled their ruminative classic\u00a0Wish You Were Here<\/em>, a record where the space rock stalwarts touched the zenith of their collective alchemy and delivered the greatest album they\u2019d ever dream up.<\/p>\n

It must have felt like a lifetime, but eight short years earlier, Pink Floyd were in a very different place. Cutting interstellar garage rock doused in lysergic vats of psychedelia, Pink Floyd\u2019s early work during 1967\u2019s\u00a0The Piper at the Gates of Dawn<\/em>\u00a0was coloured by the playful surrealism of their frontman and creative captain, Syd Barrett.<\/p>\n

While a fantastic debut, and building a lauded live reputation as one of the UFO Club\u2019s resident acts, Barrett\u2019s lyrical idiosyncrasies and foibled songcraft felt more planted to the Anglo-eccentricity imbued in the likes of Small Faces or The Beatles at their most kaleidoscopic.<\/p>\n

Then, the slow ebb from the music scene he\u2019d helped define. Whether genetic predisposition, too much LSD, or much of both, severe mental health issues began to take hold of Barrett. Erratic behaviour, diminishing studio session returns, and even initial efforts to keep Barrett in the songwriting fold \u00e0 la Brian Wilson led nowhere; Pink Floyd eventually dismissing their visionary commander in 1968.<\/p>\n

After limping half-heartedly with several bands, eking out two solo LPs, and a smattering of odd radio appearances and brief live sets, Barrett withdrew from the music world and settled permanently in Cambridge with his mother in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n

Pink Floyd\u2019s story could have ended there. But, after Barrett\u2019s tentative contributions to\u00a0A Saucerful of Secrets<\/em>, the band soldiered on after his departure, releasing a string of mushy, unfocused, conceptual half-bakes that teased pearls of brilliance amid stodgy meanders concerned with their\u00a0roadie\u2019s breakfast.<\/p>\n

Magic was within touching distance on 1971\u2019s\u00a0Meddle<\/em>, but\u00a0The Dark Side of the Moon<\/em>\u00a0two years later is where the heights of greatness were now being scaled, a cosmic wander along existential terror and the human condition\u2019s fraught terrain, set with David Gilmour\u2019s electrifying guitar solos, Richard Wright\u2019s chromatic keys, Nick Mason\u2019s jazzy percussion, and the emerging narrative steer of bassist Roger Waters.<\/p>\n

It was a triumph,\u00a0The Dark Side of the Moon<\/em>, eventually selling over 45 million reported copies and still standing as the fourth biggest selling album of all time. Pink Floyd were now rich and famous. Yet, their old friend and musical comrade\u2019s haunting presence was never far away, the years with Barrett and his sudden vanish clashing with stardom\u2019s startling glitz triggered a strange air of contemplative disquiet among the Pink Floyd camp, especially Waters, who now sought inspiration as to what their ninth LP\u2019s creative path should take.<\/p>\n

Finally beyond their creative growing pains early in the decade, Pink Floyd were now equipped with a conceptual and compositional laser focus, further honing their thematic anchor with the progressive scope of their art rock ambitions. Touched on in their prior album effort, 1975\u2019s\u00a0Wish You Were Here<\/em>\u00a0further distils the subjects of alienation at the music industry\u2019s, and capitalism more broadly, greedy maw, the psychological turmoil of achieving one\u2019s material dreams at odds with the idealism of what forged the band together in the first place, an idyll inextricably symbolised by the Barrett\u2019s of the world.<\/p>\n

Where Pink Floyd reaches for the further peripheries of space on\u00a0The Dark Side of the Moon<\/em>,\u00a0Wish You Were Here<\/em>\u00a0turns inward toward the deepest recesses of the soul, excavating an inner sanctuary of teeming dimension every bit as expansive as the far-flung corner of the universe. With slow, apparitional engulfment, Wright\u2019s haunting ambience that mirages into existence on the chilling opener \u2018Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I\u2013V)\u2019 illustrates the troubled introspection beautifully, phantasmagorical synths swaddle Gilmour\u2019s exquisite guitar licks before the stunning four-note chime ripples into the consciousness with electric charge. At barely four minutes in,\u00a0Wish You Were Here<\/em>\u00a0is already a classic.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Wish You Were Here\u00a0<\/em>unfolds, the emotional soar never wavers for a moment. The menacing\u00a0Minimoog\u00a0bite that spikes \u2018Welcome to the Machine\u2019 with its alien belligerence starkly befits the lambast of corporate crushing of innocence, \u2018Have a Cigar\u2019s strutting cynicism introducing the listener to the Cuban chomping irritance of the music industry\u2019s label bosses and agent vultures, accelerating the quiet seethe that wealth and high-life can\u2019t stave off forever. \u2018Money\u2019 may be more remembered, but \u2018Have a Cigar\u2019 lambasts the biz with a deeper fury, roping in folk rocker Roy Harper to play the role of the big cheese to further lend the character an air of foreign intrusion.<\/p>\n

Which takes us to the album\u2019s centrepiece. A wistful moment of folk balladry shorn of all noise and messy thoughts, \u2018Wish You Were Here\u2019 is a jaw-dropping moment of clarifying epiphany. While semi-disputed by Waters and Gilmour years later, it\u2019s impossible to separate the title track\u2019s gentle, heartfelt country meander without a sense of longing for their old friend Barrett. It stands as the record\u2019s epiphany, the meditative summit of Pink Floyd\u2019s clearing away the bullshit and wealth and remembering exactly why they started a band, if still leaving with more questions than answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze \/ Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr \/ and shine!\u201d Roger wails on\u00a0Wish You Were Here<\/em>\u2019s ethereal open. During \u2018Shine On You Crazy Diamond\u2019s mix, Barrett turned up to the EMI Studio unannounced, bald and obese, in a moment of uncanny happenstance as the band were working on the song exploring their relationship with the band\u2019s former leader. \u201c\u2026he\u2019s just a symbol for all the extremes of absence some people have to indulge in because it\u2019s the only way they can cope with how fucking sad it is, modern life, to withdraw completely,\u201d Waters revealed. \u201cI found that terribly sad\u201d.<\/p>\n

Further fantastic albums would follow, and alienation would rear its head in a more explosive fashion on\u00a0Animals<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Wall<\/em>, but\u00a0Wish You Were Here\u00a0<\/em>stands as the pinnacle of Pink Floyd\u2019s constant search for answers, a space rock marvel that mines madness, loneliness, and the scramble for peace set to the band\u2019s most stunning musical synergy they\u2019d ever conjure. Just as we know more about outer space than we do the bottom of the ocean,\u00a0Wish You Were Here\u00a0<\/em>shines a light on the wilderness that hides in us all, revealing a deeper and darker chasm of the unknown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
