"Wish You Were Here" is a ballad by the Swedish band Rednex, off their first album Sex & Violins.
Although not a hit in the United States, unlike "Cotton-Eye Joe", "Wish You Were Here" was a hit in Austria, Norway and Switzerland, even managing to reach number one. "Wikipedia"
now the original song is great and seriously amazin, i first heard it when i was thinking of someone, surprisngly it just said what i feel, just expressed it without me talking or even hinting about it, i felt an instance jolt of electricity run through my spine, i couldn't believe the power of music and the pain portraid in the song, becoming one of my favorite songs ever, i just had to put it here for you guys.
Cover version:
The song was covered by Blackmore's Night on their 1997 album, Shadow of the Moon. "Wikipedia"
now when i was downloading the maon version i found link for me to buy the cover song, i was curious so i logged into the amazon page for the cover song, i kid you not, i was simply BLOWN AWAY, it was impossible, usually covers are seriously hidious, but...
you just listen to the cover, it might even be concidered a better version than the original, but personally the lyrics and the vocals in both songs is seriously touching and i really relate to them both with the same power...
