Up until now, there never was a music video for Pink Floyd<\/a>‘s “Wish You Were Here,” the title track from their iconic 1975 album.<\/a><\/p>\n

That has changed. A new music video has arrived featuring animations and archival footage of the band.<\/p>\n

‘Wish You Were Here’ Tops the Charts…Again<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Wish You Were Here was\u00a0reissued<\/a> for its 50th anniversary. The new box includes a number of\u00a0alternate versions, demos and live recordings from the album’s sessions, plus live performances from the time.<\/p>\n

Back in 1975, Wish You Were Here reached No. 1 a week after it was released. Five decades later, the album claimed the Christmas Number One album spot in the U.K. This effectively made Wish You Were Here a record breaker for the longest span between an album’s first and most recent No. 1 appearance on the British charts.<\/p>\n

On social media<\/a>, guitarist David Gilmour<\/a> shared a photo of himself and a bit of\u00a0champagne, “raising a glass to the wonderful news.”<\/p>\n

How Pink Floyd Wrote ‘Wish You Were Here’<\/p>\n

“It’s one of those strange songs that came to me very easily,” Roger Waters<\/a> shared with AXS TV<\/a> last year, “because David Gilmour had been playing the riff, and I’ve been listening to it and going, ‘What’s that?’ And he played it. I said, ‘Play that again.’<\/p>\n

“So I learned it. And I said, ‘And then what happens?’ And he said, ‘No, that’s it.’ And I went, ‘I like it.’ I said, ‘So do you mind if I see what happens next?'”<\/p>\n
