If you happen to be a Pink Floyd fan, there’s no doubt that you have enjoyed listening to their song, “Wish You Were Here” more times than you can imagine.
It’s one of their songs that just gives you goosebumps every time you hear it, but we are about to take those goosebumps to the next level.
The United States Army Field band known as “Six-String Soldiers” decided to cover the song while they were on location in Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland.
The resulting video is one you will want to bookmark and listen to over and over again.
Two of the soldiers play on the guitar during the video while a third one sits in the back and plucks on the banjo.
There’s just something about watching them play the song in the middle of a forest that makes it seem as if it was made for that setting.
In 2015, five active-duty soldiers made up this US Army band. They perform a number of different styles of music, including country, bluegrass, and Americana.
The fact that they decided to cover a Pink Floyd song was because they made it a special dedication to the people who were still back home and missing them. They wanted them to know that they missed them as well.

People love the music of Richard Wagner too, but don’t have to love the man who wrote that music.
