The man playing guitar on the left side was my father, Martin O'Hara. Shortly after this event he was diagnosed with cancer, and very recently after a long hard battle, dad has passed away. So this was one of dads final performances. It meant the world to him that people took the time out of their day to slow down and listen. It also meant the world to him when I told him how many of you people online have resonated with this moment. To slow down that day and stop to listen to those performers and singers was an effortless decision for any passers-by, but it meant a great deal more to him and I, it really was an honour. And dad died with that pride and peace that you gave him, so on his behalf, thank you so much for listening.

*Wish I was there

I’m not embarrassed to say I cried.

9 years ago, I lost my baby sister. We would have found the nearest stadium and broke in just to hear the harmony of the vocals from the "average people". Don't ever think that because you're not the very best at something that you're not still a part of something amazing. If you doubt it, listen to the vocals from this crowd, it's amazing. Remember, you're always valued and always loved. And you're never alone, no matter how dark things seem, how bad you think things are or how much you think you won't be missed. I have a patch of skin that will prove you wrong. You are important, you are special, you are worth it, you are loved and we want you to be here. I know that trusting people is the hard part of opening up and looking for counseling, I'm a survivor too (even if I didn't want to be). But keep fighting to find someone you can talk to, they ARE out there, there are people that will listen. You don't have to go throught this alone. One last thing: I love you.

I want to live where the whole group of people all know the lyrics to Pink Floyd songs.

When you recognize the guitar and sing along all the words in unison with a hundred other people in the middle of a train station. That’s when you know the song is timeless and it will live on forever.

RIP Martin! You made this day beautiful for all these people.

It was my and my Son's favorite song. It's been six years since I've heard from him. I love and miss you, Jon.

I bet, human race will still be listening to Pink Floyd 100 years from now...

Imagine hearing a song so iconic to you that it can make you think back to those years that you lived your best life at. This what these old peeps must think while singing this song with one hundred other voices.

I never fail to choke up when I hear this song, but hearing a whole crowd of "just plain folks" who know the lyrics and join in put me over the top. Reading the comment from Mythic about Martin O'Hara added profusely to the meaningfulness of the event.

God what a beautiful thing hundreds of people singing Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here... I wish I was there! 🙏🏻❤️

Over 150 people singing for over 150 reasons.

We need more days like this. Everyone singing together.

Being a Pink Floyd fan, I absolutely love this!

After taking my ex husband off life support, this song was playing as he passed away. He suffered for nine months in the hospital after being shot. The murderer is now serving 28 years in prison. This song will forever break my heart. This took place in a small town (2900) in Colorado…..it can happen anywhere 💔 #LiveLikeRed

Why was this in my recommended? Oh, because it's f*ing brilliant. That's why. Well done, beautifully performed.

I’m not crying, you are

So nice to see everyone come together.......what we need more of now!!!!

Thank you people in Dublin! Just getting up, here in the USA this morning and hearing strangers together singing makes my day,!

Are we gonna deny that we sang with them and had teary eyes too?

When the youtube algorithm gods hands you a gem. What a vid, made my day.

Another American here. This is absolutely awesome, and for a great cause as well. I love Pink Floyd, and I love the Irish. My wife and I toured the British Isles back in 2001, and the day we spent in Dublin was a highlight of the trip. Great city, great people.

didn’t know i was gonna cry, thank you so much for this.

Just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year. My mate died at 36 yrs old and that's the song they played at his funeral.

I lost my dad to brain cancer on this teachers day (He was himself a teacher, whose passion was sharing knowledge, always wanted to make this world a better place). This has brought tears to my eyes. Wish Papa was here...

One of few times that people can be unified. Politics, race, creed and religion can be ignored. Brought a tear.....Excellent. thank you.

This video shows the magic of Pink Floyd's music. It will live forever.

This is why Pink Floyd are Gods.

Listerning in feb 2021, everything is going to be okay

Sid would have been overwhelmed to know all these people were singing this song about him.

The power of music to bring people together.

The universal language of Pink Floyd........I would have missed my train to join in

Those two fellas are my generation. Boy,we had it best,the sexy 60's and the sounds of the 70's. Wouldn't swap my time for any other in history.

Music. International, universal language. People stop to enjoy the moment. At peace with each other, with the world.

That’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Even more amazing, this is at a TRAIN STATION, meaning all of those people stopped, and risked missing their train to listen and sing this beautiful song.

Sometimes the world is fantastic!

This has got to be the best cover of pink Floyd I have heard

First time I've seen this , beautiful. From an English man. So good to see people come together like that 🙌

Heaven from hell, blue skies from pain.

I am at this moment sitting in a hospital with my father watching this. He suffered a massive stroke, and he is ready to pass. This song always gets my tears flowing.

My younger sister just passed away from cancer sorry for your loss and beautiful song I am a Floydian and to all who have gone before shine on you crazy diamonds.

This was so beautiful and magical it brought tears to my eyes. 😭💙💙💙✌🤙🙏

A slap in the face of those who say Rock should never turn "respectable".

who needs a train when you can sing along to pink floyd

Amazing how everyone can unite in peace through music 🎶, even for a few moments in time. 😢😢

Who could dare say nothing good comes from Ireland after this, simply fantastic!

Incredible, at least three different generations singing with the same passion. Only pinkfloyd can create a timeless song like that.

I'm 59 and this song can still bring a tear to my eyes thinking about my sister who took her own life remember to tell your loved ones that you'll always be there for them

This is beautiful, I travelled through Heuston Station daily for a number of years, these guys are incredible, sadly I heard one has passed away since. To think they give up their time to entertain people, to make them smile. Love this song and we’ll done to everyone involved

Freaking WOW...46yr old man in tears. Thank u

Who else is crying

I can’t listen to this anymore...all my friends, my family, everyone I ever trusted, all dead. I no longer wish they were here. I wish I was there.

I saw the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour (twice) - and will always remember hearing 40,000 plus singing this song, honestly one of life's pure moments.

There's nothing in the world as beautiful as this ♥️♥️

This song transcends time!

Can't believe this had dislikes! What sort of soulless persons are you?

Isn't it amazing , one of my favourite songs . I had the privilege of working in Ireland some years ago . Beautiful country . Wonderful people .

I can't fully describe how incredibly spiritual your father's and his two friends' performance felt to me. Then, Your comment describing your father's diagnosis and also his passing made me realize why the performance touched me so deeply. I am very sorry for your loss and I'll never forget what a gift it was to hear him play. Thank you.

*Wipes eyes* man, these allergies out here crazy

My nephew played this for brother at his funeral, this is the first time I have managed to listen to this since that date 6yrs ago. Thank you Dublin people, beautiful souls. God bless you all, god bless my dear brother, How I wish he was here. XX

It must be an awesome feeling to know something you have written is so loved by the world that it can be spontaneously sung in a train station word for word by a couple of hundred people.

Absolutely superb. Rest in Peace Martin O'Hara. This touched me before and has done again. Thank you for bringing real magic into everyone's life.

I am so elated to know this many people know the lyrics.

That was food for the soul. RIP Martin O'Hara and thank you.

Oh Jesus, it's all so touching and all these people are like a choir of angels... Thanks to them the good old days haven't died yet ~~

One of these magic moments in life. How I wish, how I wish I'd been there.

Dedicated to my father who died almost 7 years ago. rest in peace. we miss you so much. wish you were here

This is what great music can do to humankind. Bring people together in peace. Thank you Pink Floyd

One of the best street music pieces ever, just wow.

Notice the median age of the audience. Most grew up with PF, had the albums, 8-tracks, cassettes, went to concerts. Most beautiful. Wish I was there.

RIP Martin, and thanks for bringing happiness to all those folk who were there on the day, along with all those who will watch this online - oh how I wish I was there too. Steve

The transcendence of generations... Rest In Peace Martin. Your legacy lives on in the music and happiness you’ve left behind.

One of the best versions I've ever seen or heard. Magnificent.

Whoa! Now that I've dried my tears and composed myself... What an absolutely moving experience! Watching this video has conflated two of my most treasured memories. First memory: I had the distinct pleasure of seeing and hearing Pink Floyd in concert in Tampa in 1977. I had just turned 15 and had no idea how fortunate I was to be there because when Pink Floyd returned to the US for the The Wall tour they only made two stops in New York and two others in LA. This is one of the many great songs I was privileged to hear. I'm confident that thousands of people sang along but the music was so loud you couldn't hear them. Second memory: three or four years later I attended a concert of The Rossington-Collins Band, which contained the surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. At the end of the concert they finally played the song everyone there had come to here, which was - of course - Freebird. There was no vocalist. A spotlighted microphone topped by the hat of the deceased Ronnie Van Zant occupied the center of the stage, which made all in attendance wish that he was there. For those who don't know, the song begins gently and mournfully, slowly builds in tempo and intensity, and then finishes with an ecstatic/cathartic 10 minute instrumental. So anyway, the tens of thousands of fans, without prompting from the band or anyone else, provided the vocals. It was a mystical experience, similar to the one conveyed in this video but on a grander scale and in real-time.

my wife was passed october 2017, hope she could hear

Beautiful, Dublin, absolutely beautiful!

Dad last concert. I know he didn’t realize who roger waters was. But hearing all these people sing, like they sang that night! I know he had an awesome time. Wow, to hear ,just a crowd of people watching and knowing the words, brings back many happy memories!

I have lost count how many...Just how many times I watched this.. just to relieve this moment when an entire contingent stands up and sings an iconic Pink Floyd number. Yes I am not ashamed to share that every time I hear this i get teary inside. But something inside me tells me that I am lucky enough to have witnessed a phenomenon called Pink Floyd. Thanks a lot Pink Floyd for making me what I am today.

There's so much magic in this song. Blessed these artists. There will always be faith in humanity as long as they exist.

Im crying .. Damn This is beautiful Small movements thru music

This video kicks me in the feels every time. The raw power of humanity uniting over something as simple as a song. Beautiful. 🥰

I've thought about suicide a few times;this song&loved ones have brought me back

Pink Floyd is a universal language.

We have been so amazingly lucky to have lived in an era of truely heart warming musical talent. Thank you ❤

Sad to hear of your father passing .....he obviously brought joy to a lot of people including myself. Great vid

Wow check all the older people everyday joe's you would never think were this cool. Its awsome.

Sometimes we all just need a good cry. I watched this over and over again today and cried like a baby every time.

I hereby proclaim Dublin as the coolest place in the world

Choked up through the whole thing. Loved it. I’m 54 and I wish I knew this many people who knew the lyrics to this great song.

This is a great song to do a flash mob to. It's well known and something easy for outsiders to join in on.

This was a Heaven on Earth Presentation. How the crowd participated as in a Concert...

God bless your father and these men for playing so beautiful and the crowd singing. Beautiful.

As we age this song becomes more & more relevant.

When music was music. Everyone of all ages and backgrounds could sing together. Love it.

I love things like this great song great people My America is in such a bad way thank you I needed this...

Never tire of listening to, and watching, this. Always brings me to tears. Heavenly.

An absolute act of being human ❤

This has to be the best I've seen in years, we need this now more than ever & yes it made me cry. Thank you for sharing
