Pink Floyd's Mesmerizing 'Wish You Were Here' Video Arrives 50 Years After Song's Release

In a nostalgic move, Pink Floyd has released a mesmerizing music video for their iconic song 'Wish You Were Here' 50 years after its release. The video threads together black-and-white footage of the band, otherworldly animation, and microscopic close-ups of a fertilized egg.

The song, released in 1975, is a tribute to Syd Barrett, a founding member of the band who left due to mental health issues. The video's unique blend of visuals and animation pays homage to Barrett's legacy and the band's enduring legacy.

The video's release coincides with the 50th anniversary of the song's release, making it a special moment for fans of the band. The video is a must-watch for anyone who loves Pink Floyd's music and wants to experience their iconic sound in a new way.

The video is available to watch on the band's official YouTube channel.
