My son once told me "Mom I'm going to play this at your funeral"! I've been sober 8 years now!

For those of us who were around when this song first came out, we have been blessed with a song that is forever imprinted in our minds. Thank you Pink Floyd for such a timeless classic.

This is one of my favorite songs every time I hear it I'm reminded of my son who passed away at age nineteen. I miss you so bad nate and I wish you were here.

everybody wishes someone was there

Sat on a hesco at sunset in Afghanistan playing this on my guitar the day some good friends were taken from their mortal coil by an ied. I finished and wiped a tear from my eye and turned around and saw a large group of my brothers and sisters just standing there with tears in their eyes. This song will always hold a special place in my heart and I have never played it again. Its been 16 years now

Why am I crying at this? Just reading the comments this song has hit so many memories for folks.

I don't think that guitarist gets enough credit, huge props to him, he's awesome!

I wish my wife was here, she left us 1299 days ago.

My dad loved Pink Floyd and he would've loved this. He passed in 2010 from Cancer

My father was my hero, he died 4 years ago. I still miss him, I try to be a better man every day. I am 54 years old. Life is joyous, but it is hard also. This song always reminds me of him. LOVE THIS SONG. I LOVE YOU, DAD💯❤

what a beautiful version. The demographic of the choir - all colours ages and religions sums up the message in the song perfectly. I m sure Gilmour Waters and co would enjoy this lovely version.

"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl" for some reason this line gets me every time and then ofcourse the "Wish you were here". One of my all time favorites. What an absolutely wonderful song and the guitar, truly amazing. Pink Floyd rocks even now. Thank you Pink Floyd, so very much. Wish you were still here, belting out such absolutely awesome songs. Miss you guys.❤❤

This song makes me cry every time, cry for the lass who got me into Pink Floyd when I was about 18 (I’m 51 now and she’s no longer with us 💔😢). Now I can’t imagine a life without their music. So this song will always take me back to that time. Choirs are amazing. It becomes so much more personal, this is amazing

Whenever I hear this song I start crying for my mother who died of Alzheimers on November 13 2003

Awesome to see all those people singing beautifully together, great arrangement, kudos . The voices expressed the pain, the longing, the sadness, of it all. Such a dark song. I'm in tears.

Funny how the world moves on,forty years ago I would be listening to this through a drug and alcohol induced haze,it was that sort of music. Now here I am listening to it being sung by a choir. Twentieth century rock has come of age and is being seen alongside the classical masters of previous centuries.

pretty funny watching the choir all the old rockers with their eyes closed sing from memory thinking of that Floyd concert in 77 and all the young kids and the pop music kids reading the lyrics from a paper ah yes those were the days my friends RIP Syd

This song was played at my brothers funeral.Miss you Tony ........

This incredible song affects so many people in so many ways. An absolute masterpiece. 🙏❤️🙏

They don't need lyric sheets. This song is in all our hearts and minds

Loss is inevitable, what I see here is people coming together and giving a tribute to the lost loved ones. We wish you were here❤️

Now that was uplifting - Syd Barret would have really loved this....

The simple lyric wish you were here, touches us all I think, a universal plea from the soul...

This song, always brings back that magic summer of 1976, when the love of my life left to study in another city. We used to listen to the LP on cassette at her house. She ended up marrying some other guy there. I think I still love you, Jean.

Its a special song me a life long friend from school days .Were learning the song ,Next day his mother phoned me ,He had committed suicide he was the one person who stuck by me through illness unemployment divorce .I can only listen to the tune in private now it brings a tear to my eye,

Reminds me of my parents who I miss so much every day. Love you Mom and Dad in heaven.

My all-time favorite song! I couldn't possibly love this more. 💖

This is so beautiful. It never fails to make me cry as I think of my two beautiful daughters who were taken from me to live in another country by my ex wife.

I was alone for a lot of holidays due to battling substance abuse. Coming here and singing along with this made me feel closer to those who I couldn't see right then. One day at a time, I'm climbing out of this hell to be there for real. I have some family seeing me today and I'm so grateful. I wish you were all here to share this moment with me. I feel like you're my family too now.

I would recommend them doing a tour playing some famous cathedrals all around the world.

reminds me of my father - still miss u dad

Those first notes just open my heart every time! Love it

This is a gorgeous rendition. It gives me chills: in a *good* way! (Proud Canadian here.)

When I retired, a member of my crew made a slide show of pictures of me at work with this song playing. Means a lot to me. She also knew I was a Pink Floyd fan

I wish I was there, to hear, "I Wish You Were Here". That was a beautiful rendition.

Made me cry what a beautiful song!!

How can young men created such this great song beyond all line & kind of people/human ?????

Wonderful Song and great performance. Thanks for sharing!

This song always makes me cry like a baby! And I rarely show emotions. But sometimes, I lock myself in my room, turn down the lights, put on my headphones, and play this song, and think about my first and only love, who died tragically in a car crash a day before our wedding. Our German Shepherd Kaiser died in that crash too. It's been 25 years and I couldn't bring myself around to get married and have a family!! Yes, I worked veryhard, and made quite a fortune to retire at age 47, and take care of my ageing mother. Its music like this that allows me to cry out once in a while, and keep myself sane!

Any version, cover, arrangement of this song is beautiful, because this song is a real Masterwork.

I miss my best friend of fifty years. We sang this song in his room and my garage for decades. He sent this to me during my service overseas through several wars. He died alone in his truck, and I will always be waiting for his next phone call. Hug the ones you love, call those far way, because someday they won't be there.

I use this as a warm up practice song for 12 string guitar and I have never heard a soulful version as this, David Gilmour would be proud :-)

Wow. Love adding the layers to this. Hauntingly beautiful

Simply brilliant. What a lovely rendition - hats off to everyone involved 😎👍

A song for humanity. Sung by a community shows the raw power of the human voice., with that every person can contribute. I long for love. 🐨🌹

“Wish you were here “. That sums up this song. 😁❤️

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? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? 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 And how we found The same old fears Wish you were here

Good people singing together, heaven in a pub!

Such an amazing rendition of a bitter sweet song.

How amazing is this and how amazing was this song. Thanks David Gilmour for this beauty.

this song always make me remember of my friends who past away too early. Rest in Peace to all my friends. this song is for you all & i always love you all

The best chill song ever!!! I hope they play it at my funeral, and those in attendance are high as hell.

This song is so deep in my brain ... Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jürgen

My favourite Pink Floyd song, Comfortably Numb a close second. I sang this at my dearly loved dog's service recently. I loved this version by C!C!C! Also loved the slow and gentle ending to fade out. Well done all.

Dad I miss you.... September 15, 2020.... CANCER Con't your journey in Heaven!

My wife's name and pic. The song has a special place in my heart, made me tear up, wasn't expecting that. I thought you all were great. So many different faces singing one great song. Big Floyd fan. Thanks you all. Mark

Miss those days of get-together instead of social distancing. Great performance.

The ultimate acoustic rock anthem... wish I were there. Gorgeous arrangement. There's simply no way to play this song wrong. Melody, lyrics and a message in perfect harmony

Thank you for providing some light in this world.

Reduced to tears right there at barely 1:45 minutes in. My song for my father.

I think this perfectly captures the spirit PF were going for. They lost their band mate Syd and wished he was there. Through music we can all be a little closer and help each other out through hard times. This song is an amazing example of what can happen when people put their differences aside and join in something great.

This is beautiful. My son passed away last January. I cry whenever I hear this song now.

This was played at my grandpa's funeral. He was such a kind, funny and just wonderful person. I wish you were here❤

After watching three videos from this collective, I can honestly say, I just found my favorite choir. And according to the counter, there are 38,493 subscribers, and well I guess that I make 38,494.

Congratulations, people. You work is simple yet superb. And is this simplicity made of "perfectly tuned" human voices, what catches our emotional side by surprise.

Isto é pra quem tem bom gosto..🤘🤘🤘🇧🇷🇧🇷🤗🤗🌹🌹👏👏

That was really lovely to listen to. Very talented group!

I have no words other then...amazing job on an amazing song.

It’s amazing how sparkling the human voice can be ,how uplifting and the warmth and the passion just gets to you ,wonderfully presented and thanks for uploading

This is gold!

MY #1 FAV PINK FLOYD SONG FOR THE "OBVIOUS" REASON!!!! BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!!! GLAD YOR ALL ENJOYIN DOIN THESE "OLD" BUT GREAT SONGS!!!! STILL TOO "TOUGH" TO SHED A TEAR RIGHT NOW THOUGH!!!! * KAWAA *

beautiful

Love how old people, memorize it from the heat and don't bother looking at the lyrics sheet.

I love pink floyd songs and I love choir. It's so fantastic. I really liked it. Thank you guys.

This song makes me cry. It reminds me of one of the happiest days of my life, which culminated in Pink Floyd singing. Always moves me!

A song from my younger years. I love the guy with gray hair and checked shirt at 2 o'clock from the conductor who doesn't consult written lyrics. True Floyd fan.

gave me the chills...haven't ever hear a choir sing it...powerful

I cried .... this is fantastic !!!! when the verses stikes in i get goosebumps. Very good version !!!

Awesome 👏💜🎵🗣️🎤🎶❤️😁😊🤗🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful people. Beautiful song.

How good is this...brilliant

Best rendition ever made...incredible talent..do it again. THANK YOU ALL

I love choral music. The human voice is incredible but when it is done with these two simple instruments, it's incredible. I cannot believe I haven't stumbled upon it sooner than this and it will not be my last.

Absolutely spellbinding Great idea and a marvellously constructed (and sung) version

One of my favourite songs and they more than did it justice. Congratulations for a top performance!

THIS is AWSOME!!!!!

the make up of the choir symbolises the wide appeal of floyd. There are all ages and backgrounds in there and just as one with the music. Wonderful.

How I wish you were here ☺🌷🌹❤🌻

Chills down my spine. Phenomenally good.

Love this Account so much!

Miss u mom

WOW !! That was fantastic !!

A loss for words...amazing.

This is really great! brought me to tears

True love is found in music. (Wiping tears).

I hopr Choirs never go out of fashion, that was brilliant!

This sounds so beautiful it made me cry

Glad I found your channel. I feel better now than I did just a bit ago. I needed something. Thanks.

never in my lifetime did i ever think i would see my beloved Pink Floyd being sung by so many people of all ages, in so many countries... choirs, orchestras, street bands...... and my mother, in the 70's, pretty much freaked out over hearing them, just a druggy band... when i watch humanity sing The Floyd, tears come to my eyes. thanks for this.

A reason why i love music
