Para saber exactamente de qué hablamos, Lukas nos describe que "Cuando veo el video de Wish You Were Here, la letra magnifica y reverbera dentro de mi corazón. Extrañar a los que más amo es un sentimiento terrible, afortunadamente puedo volver a ver a la mayoría de ellos. Me encanta la forma en que la imagen captura la gran soledad de la letra".
Es una canción que se estrenaba en agosto de este mismo año y, desde entonces, ha impactado muy positivamente.
'Wish You Were Here' tiene videoclip
Dirigido por Blythe Thomas, el videoclip se fija como objetivo el mar y la soledad. Destaquemos que esta directora y fotógrafa con raíces en Brooklyn, Nashville y Los Ángeles siempre apuesta por la naturaleza humana en sus trabajos audiovisuales. En sus anteriores proyectos han aparecido desde Julia Michaels hasta Grace VanderWaal o Miranda Lambert.
Volviendo al vídeo musical, las imágenes se centran en los dos protagonistas, Lukas y Khalid que, unidos vocalmente, escenifican de manera patente la soledad.
'Wish You Were Here' es un himno a los mejores amigos, como dice Graham que nos recuerda también que "Todos conocemos la sensación de estar al borde o en la cima del mundo y extrañar a alguien especial. Siempre es en los grandes eventos y ocasiones especiales que extraño a esas personas únicas en mi vida que me hicieron quien soy hoy".
