| Re: What are the voices on the beginning of Wish You Were Here saying? It sounds like an excerpt from some film but whatever it is I just can`t understand words. Everything I can pick up is something like that: "... remains..." "Please, Antony, not with you! Dave is ... nuts" "Yes, yes" "No it isn`t" "... sure..." Does anybody know exactly? Thanks in any case!

| Re: What are the voices on the beginning of Wish You Were Here saying? Well, I'm not sure about all of it, but just before the fiddle kicks in, I think I hear the man say, "I was sure of it," or "I'm sure of it." Early in the dialogue I think I hear something like "Man, messenger..." Other than that, I don't know. I'll try to find a link to the Echoes FAQ for you. --Bud Sturguess, Texas |

| Re: What are the voices on the beginning of Wish You Were Here saying? I forget the exact text, but at the end of it, the composer, Schumann is mentioned. Dave was pulled up about this in an interview because the following music obviously isn't Schumann. He admitted that he'd recorded it off of his car radio and had no idea who it was. Best I can do. Sorry. Cheers, Mark

| Re: What are the voices on the beginning of Wish You Were Here saying? Actually, the weird noises and radio sounds between Have a Cigar and Wish You Were Here were picked randomly from a radio. The music includes a snippet of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony, and an interview which says "and you, Derek, this star nonsense, what do you think of it?" To which, Derek replies "Mmm, Schumann". In concerts, the band extended this bit by playing live off-air samples from the local town radio, and then switching into the pre-recorded part from the album. The music just before and just after the random radio noises are played "as if it were being played through a radio". Cheers, Mark

| Re: What are the voices on the beginning of Wish You Were Here saying? I didn't know that about the song. Thanks, Mark. I'll give you a credit when I put it on my future Floyd site. |

| Re: What are the voices on the beginning of Wish You Were Here saying? I'm also pretty sure that as it segues into the track, 'Derek' says something to the effect of "Disciplinary remains, merciful..." before the aforementioned 'star nonsense' bit. Cheers, Uberfixxlevy
