What song is this by Pink Floyd?

Question

it's really soft and it sounds like there's an orchestra in the begining and the guitar is playing a little bit. it's really smooth and it's kind of like Carlos Santanna's songs( you know they make you wanna go to sleep) i had a few lyrics in my head but i forgot them. is this enough info for you guys? please put a sample of the song if you think you know what this song is.

.........i've never been crazy over them. but last night when i was listening to
KZEP 104.5 (it's the classic rock station were i live in Texas) i heard that song. i wanna give them a chance. so.... what are some good songs by them?

ok. here's some more info. it takes FOREVER for them to start singing. it's like a couple of minutes of just instruments. it doesn't have a bluesy feel to it. i'm pretty sure it didn't have the saxaphone.

Sarah C you're right! it's Shine On You Crazy Diamond! i listened to the clip and that was it! thank you!

Answer 1

I don't know why, but I'm think Marooned or Coming Back to Life.
I'm taking quite a few wild guesses and will just give you a bunch of links (they're all good songs, even if they aren't what you were looking for)

Answer 2

I believe the song you're refering to is Wish You Were Here from the album by the same name...here are the lyrics:

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?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And 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.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Answer 3

It might be "Wish You Were Here". It starts off sounding like someone changing stations on a radio, with a brief clip of orchestral music before going to the opening chords on acoustic guitar. The words to the chorus start off with:

"How I wish, how I wish you were here,
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year."

Answer 4

soft Pink Floyd... might be

Wish you were here
Us and them
Comfortably numb
High hopes

Pink Floyd is my favorite band ever. you should really listen to all their music, they are very talented and have made some of the best albums on rock history. You can check out the following albums
Meddle
The Dark side of the moon
Wish you were here
Animals
The Wall

Answer 5

This'll make sarah happy!

I'll take a wild guess & say "On The Turning Away".

I wish I knew, but I'm guessing it's from "The Wall" c.d. (that's my favorite c.d.)
