This is a very, very, very long song.
It's also a very complex song with a lot of changes and movements. Written by David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Richard Wright, it is an opus in nine parts, and a tribute to Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett. Appearing on their 1975 album, Wish You Were Here, it quickly became a band favorite.
I'm going to leave this without much commetary, because the emotion of the song - the love for Barrett and the guilt in forcing him out - is enough.
Here is the band, led by David Gilmour, performing the song in 1990.
Here's another performance, from Nassau Coliseum in 1988.
