"I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a
nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin,
but by the content of their character." - M.L.King Jr
My dad, who doesn't like Pink Floyd, really likes "Wish You Were Here".
The reason he offered was the song so perfectly fit what Waters' is capable of vocally, it transcends the rest of their catalog.
Now, I like Pink Floyd, but I always thought it was an astute observation, and have always found it interesting when I stumble across examples of the same phenomenon.

This is an example.
Except that David Gilmour sings "Wish You Were Here".
So I went down a Haley Reinhardt on Postmodern Jukebox wormhole and have decided.....that I don't like her.
Technically, she's amazing. Voice is incredible. Just insane. But I don't actually feel anything that she sings. It's beautiful and perfect, but just feels really empty, as though she's perfectly copied the material and added her own amazing twist - but somehow didn't quite capture the soul.
Would be curious if anyone else noticed this. I ended up listening to all her PMJ stuff (that I can find) just to see if I was missing something, but I don't think I am. I wonder maybe if it's a product of how she became famous.
