Check out the BRAND NEW video for my punk cover of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here! It starts with an old school prog-rock intro before busting into some syncopated ska-punk-RAGE!!! After an all out musical assault, it soars seamlessly into a hippie-dancing, reggae rock breakdown before blowing you completely off your feet again for the final chorus! Check it out and leave your thoughts in the comment box below. -Happy Rockin! Derek Atkinson

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
by R. Waters/D. Gilmour, covered by Derek Atkinson
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.
How we found
Our same old fears.
Wish you were here.
