Wish You Were Here - Do You Think We Can Change? video free download
John Rzeznik of the GooGoo Dolls and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit play this moving version of the Pink Floyd song, part of the Tribute to Heroes DVD done after the terrorist attacks of 9-11-01. It is my favorite from the DVD, and the words have so much more meaning since that awful time. DO YOU THINK WE CAN CHANGE?
The Lyrics (modified from the original Pink Floyd version):
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?
So, do you think we can change,
Everybody that hates,
Before it's too late.
So proud to be free,
But who can we blame?
Don't be ashamed,
Do you think we can change?
How I wish,
How I wish you were here,
We're a world of lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year.
Running over the same old ground,
What have we found?
The same old fears,
Wish you were here.
We don't need,
Need any more pain.
We just need to remain on the very same page,
So much to gain.
No more losing a friend,
We're losing ourselves.
We just need your help,
So glad you're here.
So glad you're here.

I cried the first time I heard this version, I still cry today. I'd rather hear this than the original. I loved the Pink Floyd version, but this makes me feel so much compassion and heartbreak for those who lost their loved ones, where the original seemed to be to a lost love, who was still living, and where there is still a chance....11 years ago

I loved this the first time I heard it over twelve years ago. Today was the first time I've heard it again, and it it brings back the memories of those days after 9/11. We were all shell shocked. It changed me, and many others, forever. If you weren't old enough to grasp the horror of that tragedy, you cannot understand the depth and impact of this broadcast. I think the majority of America was tuned in that night. For a few short months, we were all united. It was such a sobering time in our history. God rest those poor souls lost to hate and ignorance.11 years ago

Although the original was an amazing song, that I will always love, this version rips at my heart. I watched, the night they did it, and I cried. And I cry now. But I cry for a different reason now, than I did then. I cry because we Americans have become so divided in our political beliefs, that we hate each other for no other reason than what we believe. Meanwhile, our elected leaders party and laugh at us. We have allowed ourselves to become slaves to the government that we used to own.11 years ago

On September 12th, what were you doing? Who were you. What did you feel? This recording, the collective performance of everyone on that program that night helped a lot of people get through that time. It helped people get through other times of loss. Your flame out here is inappropriate and way way way out of line. Although I'm sure that Pink Floyd would otherwise appreciate your loyalty, they'd tell you to shut up too.11 years ago

This recording was done a week and a half after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon. It has nothing to do with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm sorry, but you were wrong and now you have been corrected.11 years ago

I get the feeling that the people who feel this song was "disrespected" by this version, were about 10 years old on 9/11/01. You don't get it.12 years ago

No man this version sucks. We should respect the great melody and the feeling associated with lyrics and rhythm created by the great Pink Flyod. This is not cool. Simple it's better not best.13 years ago
