Wish You Were Here (Fred Durst And Wes Borland)
Limp Bizkit · Other Songs - Limp Bizkit
So you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell?
So
Do you think we can change
Everybody that hates
Before it's too late
So proud to be free
But who can we blame?
Dont be ashamed
Do you think we can change?
(Wes Borland Solo )
How I wish
How I wish You were here
We're world of lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground,
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
We dont need
Need any more pain
We just need to remain
On the very same page
So much to gain
No more losing a friend
We're losing ourselves
We just need to help
So glad you're here.
(Wes Borland Solo)
So glad You're here.....
Wish You Were Here (Fred Durst And Wes Borland)
This track represents a significant collaboration between Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and Pearl Jam guitarist Wes Borland. Released as a standalone recording rather than on a standard studio album, the song blends the nu-metal aggression characteristic of Durst's work with the alternative rock sensibilities of Borland's tenure in Pearl Jam. The recording features a distinct guitar-driven sound that bridges the gap between the two artists' respective musical backgrounds, creating a unique sonic texture that diverges from typical nu-metal production. It stands as a notable example of cross-genre experimentation within the rock landscape of the late 2000s, highlighting the versatility of both performers outside their primary bands.
