I'm 7 days clean off heroin... This song explains so much.. my feet wandered into waters I never thought they would tread. I missed my self. I ruined my life in a matter of months. But caught myself before it was too late. I'm 22 with 3 beautiful babies. I had to do it for them. I'm fighting for my life, for my babies lives. Don't become comfortably numb. Our comfort zone is not a good benchmark. Push yourself for better. God bless you all.
Well youre right about that and i dont have an answer for you... But I can tell you that i am now 10 MONTHS CLEAN! 💜💜 SO REGARDLESS ITS MY LIFE AND MY PATH AND IVE BEEN ON THE RIGHT PATH ALL ALONG. WE ALL HAVE. TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS ARE PART OF LIFE TOO!!

As my mother lay dying, I stepped outside and sat in my car listening to this song. My brother came out to tell me that she was fading fast. Twelve years later my father was in a LifeLine helicopter being rushed to a cardiac unit. As I was driving to the hospital, this song came on again. I cried my way to the hospital, and arrived in time to tell him, "Goodbye."
I am so privileged to have seen Pink Floyd, once in the 70's and again in the 90's. Comfortably Numb is my all time favorite song. It is a musical experience each time I hear it.
My dad passed away a few days ago. He introduced me to Pink Floyd. This was his favorite song. You lived out your remaining days the best you could. You showed me ethic and kept me in line. You showed me resilience and grit. Rest easy, dad. You can finally see grandma and grandpa now.
Grandma and grandpa were terms used for warriors in their respective tribes so unless you have elders with tattoo symbols of their grandness, they will not be grand like the Grandmaster. So just call them what they are. Your martir and partir.
In memory of my son Christopher Brice..this song was playing on over head speaker as I looked out the window at MUSC ..my son had a rare heart disease called Shone's Syndrome..my son died at one yr old ...June 3,1987- June 30, 1988...this song is so special to me ! Thank u Pink Floyd love u

Some of my best memories as a child are riding around in my dads car with Pink Floyd blasting away. He loved to drive and explore. He would often avoid highways in favor of back-roads when he took us places, to throw us off and make an adventure out of it. Probably also to just spend more time together in the car and listening to music. I grew up and developed the same love for driving back-roads and listening to music. And now I see why he did it; It's therapeutic. My dad passed away four weeks ago to the day. I love him more than words can express. I knew the pain of losing him would be the worst thing ever imaginable, but I never knew it would be this bad. I miss him every second of every day. I hope this pain gets better over time, because there is a hole in my heart that only a hug from my dad can fix. The last thing I said to my dad was, "I love you forever dad". Forever never ends. I miss you dad.
Wonderfully said young man. Your right about a father's hug. Take care of yourself in your journey. Take your kids and grandkids on drives with your Dad's music. 🙂🎶
We called those rides with my Dad "back road following." I was present beside my Dad as he took his last breath and I, too, said "goodbye, I love you." Now 10 years have got behind and, like you, I hope to fill that hole. I do it by being "the Nonno" to my grandkids - all 6. My Dad's father was my Nonno. My Dad was Nonno to my daughter. Now I'm the Nonno and I cherish being just that. I have taken the 6 with me on some fine backroads and found great joy. Bless you and your dear memories.
@Sean Finn this is almost as if I wrote it in 2015. My dad and I used to listen to Pink Floyd and drive around mountain back roads in Colorado. Once we got hit by a cow. Didn't hit a cow. The cow blammed up against the Jeep Wrangler after we'd stopped. It does get easier. Over time, and it takes some years, the pain of absence dwindles to an ache, but the memory of love never goes away unless you push it away to avoid pain. It's best to honor our fathers by listening to the music that brought us together with the next generation, and repeat those beautiful things we did together to connect. I need to take my nieces on a drive in the mountains and show them Pink Floyd.
My Momma is about to pass away from cancer and my Dad (committed suicide 23yrs ago, and My Mom can't wait to be with him again) her fave song, and this song came in today as she went off in the ambulance on her way to the hospital! He's waiting to greet her and take her home to heaven!
You just made me cry right now 😭 I lost my father when I was 12 & I lost my soulmate when I was 34 & I am hearing this song NOW; thinkin' about 'EM 🎼😔🙏 God bless you, Sara
My brother died of in '90. He had a brain tumor and to keep the pain down was given morphine. We'd listen to this over and over again and called it his theme song. At his funeral, his wife snuck this in at the very end because she knew we both loved the song. To say I was caught off guard was an understatement! The normally stoic me fell apart listening to this song...
Celebrate the reunion when floyd comes on, listen and remember the times you listened with him. I introduced my daughters just after birth with pink floyd lullaby. Now years later we listen to both together. I hope one day they might come across this post.. perhaps remembering listening and thinking about me.
Hope your finally comfortably numb Dad. I love and miss you. This song will never be the same with out you. My baby girl was born on your birthday. She looks just like us. The boys miss you and talk about you all the time. See you when it's my time. Till then watch over my kids

i was born on 2001, but i mostly love to listen the song from 60s to 90s 😁.... The lyrics, solo ,vocal everything is outstanding, they are far much better than today music... They are well deserved to be called Legends ❤️
This comment describes me quite well! Add in music from 1920-50 and you got it spot on! Those tunes are the cats meow! And how! But yeah for real there is this charm that encompasses the music of old that isn't quite there in modern music...
I must have heard this masterpiece at least 5000 times over the years, and David Gilmour's soul wrenching guitar solo on it just keeps speaking straight to my heart. Genuine genius at work here.
This song was made for the movie The Wall. The story of Pink, a rocker who lost his father when he was a child at war. It shows all his trauma growing without a father and becoming addicted to drugs. His managers wanted him to perform anyway even if he was almost dying overdosing. The Wall is one of the best movies ever with a powerful message about the consequences of wars on people.
This reminds me when I was a teenager, sitting in the woods in front of a camp fire, with my brothers and friends, smoking weed and looking at the stars... Today, I'm 56 and have long gave up drugs!... I guess I was amoung the lucky ones who didn't develop dependancy!...
This song is seriously breathtaking. On the surface, the overall sound is beautiful, especially the subtle repeated four notes throughout the hook and parts of the instrumentals. Deeper than that, it’s structured in such an intricate manner you're amazed every time you listen by the complexity. Not only are there several layers to the sound, but it fits perfectly. The voice during the verses really sounds like a shady stoner in an alley trying to sell you some crazy sh*t, and the entire piece has that hazy feeling to it that makes you feel like you’re getting high yourself. How do you know when you’re on the good stuff? When it still hurts like hell but you couldn’t care less. The child is grown, the dream is gone. You feel sick. Your hands feel like two balloons. You know you're losing everything, but that doesn’t matter now. You are comfortably numb. There’s just so much meaning conveyed in the lyrics and music, and then the end instrumental hits. I can’t even describe that solo, and holy heck does that guitar sing. My favorite Pink Floyd song is about getting high as a freaking kite. I know everyone here already knows this song is the absolute bomb, but I really felt like it needed a good paragraph of praise because they deserve a paragraph and more, damnit
As a recovering addict, I can't listen to this without getting into the angry, crying frenzy of needing money for my stuff, it's slowly getting better and as am I.
This will always remind me of my beloved friend Chris Clark. He told me about this song and we used to talk about the meaning behind the lyrics, and because of that I chose it to be played at the end of his funeral service, it was heart wrenchingly fitting and beautiful in a melancholic way. Never had a friendship of the same intensity and closeness ever before,he used to really commit time to being with you and listening to whatever you had to say. ❤
I'm 65 years young now and just trying to get back to my R@R roots. See Floyd twice loved them then more now. Like to make friends with the same music I like witch isn't easy anymore. Thanks for your reply man.
I remember when I used to smoke weed I was sent to a different dimension with Floyd. Even not smoking these days (bar very infrequent occasions) I still get to that place. Just immense music
I suffer from quite bad depression. When I feel like it's kicking my ass, I slap this on. Take you somewhere else man. I remember when I first heard it I was a stoned teenager 🤣 this song has saved my life on a few occasions.
I consider myself as a throw away kid. I made my own way, have a decent life, good wife and so on. But when i hear this song it takes me to another place and time. I think anybody can dust themselves off, pull on their boot straps and make their lives better. You don't have to have a lot of money to be rich! By the way, i don't have a lot of money. Lol. Yall have a great evening!
Should go down in history as the greatest band to ever. I'm an all-around music fan all genres all years as long as it's good I'll listen to it. But I've never heard another band that put as much emotion and told a story like Pink Floyd could.
This is probably the most powerful song when it comes to going into trance. This song triggers deep, hidden emotional feelings. It is a timeless song that sounds good at every listen.
This brings back the Best of the Bestest Memories of My Home Dawg Kevin Wolford. He passed away in November of 2010, after a long battle of mental illness. God Blessed His Hands With A Guitar, That Could Play This Song Forever. Keep On Rockin Kev. I Love And Miss Ya Homie.
Lost my precious Father 3 1/2 years ago and this song describes about how I feel - existing, but not living the same. The pain never leaves. It will be with me the rest of my life.
My father introduced me to Pink Floyd back in 2012 when I was only 9 years old. I never listened to them consistently back then, but in recent years I've dived into all of their albums and shared many great memories with friends while listening to their music. Wish You Were Here and Animals are especially important to me, but this song is one of my favorites. Reminds me of those easy going, laid-back summers spent hanging out with friends as a young and dumb but hopeful teenager
初闻不知曲中意，再听已是曲中人。chinese proverb: when i was young and heard this song for the first time, i do not understand its lyric; i listened it again as i have grown up, i realized i have already became the story of this song.
Following this song since my childhood. Never thought i would have to listen to this song during the most toughest phase of my life because the most important person of my life just left me.
Is and always be my favorite song! Gilmour's technique is flawless! What grabs me every time is when he makes the guitar scream (5:22) during the second solo! Love this song!!
This is my favorite all time song. It took it with me in the delivery room in 1989 to deliver my son, who after 22 hours of labor was a C-Section. I can't say I felt "Comfortably Numb".
I understand you. After a 36-yr marriage that ended in divorce, I'm 66 and fighting depression all day, every day. I've become comfortably numb. I hide my feelings from my family, they wouldn't understand. They don't know the brokenness inside of me.😪 I pray tomorrow is a happy day for all who are fighting depression and feeling broken.
Forty years of hindsight tells us quite clearly that this brilliant recording and the album whence it came (The Wall) have to rank among the greatest records of all time. Truly timeless music.
Of course. I feel like this song pertains to me. Nobody can understand what comfortably numb truly means until you finally get through all the B.S just to come through it and end up being alone and just comfortably numb. Its somethin 😒
Yes. I'm listening too. I think this song applies to many personal experiences and means different things to each listener. When Mr Gilmore goes into his solo it leads the listener into their personal realm to be alone with their psyche. It touches on ones reasons why, pros and cons of situations, waywardness, pain and redemption. This song is an upfront conversation with ones self and eventual accountability.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG. People need to wake up from their slumber! Look directly into someones eyes, you can see most are already GONE! Empty inside, souless, materilistic, this song hit it on the head! thanks P.F.
Spencer Whitworth Its a story about a mental hospital tha had a disturbed doctor who did horrindish things to patients and one member of Floyd who somehow ended up his patience and got the Hell ou of there
First of all: Amazing! Secondly: Wow! Third: I love it! The truth is, that when I was a child, I loved being sick and getting a fever. The floating feelings that I got, the short, vivid fever dreams... I just loved it! Unsurprisingly, I turned to opiates, including H, just a few years later as a teenager. ... This song feels right to me, it makes my heart beat faster whenever I listen to it because it really touches something within me. When a song can do that, even after you´ve known it for decades, it´s truly a good song.
"And now we listen in Awe," Oh God Yes we do. I think I can safely say this is the best Lyrics video I've ever seen, the words, the timing just perfectly accompany the music. You've done a Man's job sir.

I became a huge pink floyd fan because when i was on a road trip with my mom she had some pink floyd songs on her playlist, and this song is one of my favorites by them
First time I listened to this song, I reflected on the bong I just smoked and thought about the importance of truth over comfort. Years later now I'm just thinking this song encapsulates capitalist indoctrination, making people think they don't deserve to live their dreams and instead become comfortably numb. My point being, the feeling this song captures is so universal, it has so many layers of interpretation and relatability, and I may be staying the obvious since this song has been around for decades but even now in 2021 I'm still getting an emotional reaction listening to this as a young man
The lyrics is just aweeeee wow .. the music too is ahhhhh awww wow .. That guitar solo ❤️❤️❤️...... One of the nicest bestest wonderful guitar 🎸 solo of all time....
It's amazing...so many years have gone by, and I still have to stop what I am doing and enjoy the moment. THIS is the greatest song I've ever heard. Distinct, its sound is unlike any other. Such creativity that went into THIS one song... I'm still in awe of this one song!!
I had a proper spiritual experience when baked listening to this song! I was crying with ecstatic bliss whilst feeling like I was being hugged by the universe!
As I watched this song being performed before a live audience in Rio, I saw unmistakeable pain on their faces, and I realized that all human beings are withholding some painful memories of loss, disappointment, or lonliness. Everyone...even if they cannot put their finger on it now, you would not understand...this makes tears flow down my cheeks.
This song, so raw, so honest. My beautiful daughter and my beautiful grandson, both who I lost within 7 months of each other. "I feel every, little pinprick". "You are only coming through in waves". "The child is grown, the dream is gone". At the moment 'I have become 'Comfortably Numb'.
I'm 7 days clean off heroin... This song explains so much.. my feet wandered into waters I never thought they would tread. I missed my self. I ruined my life in a matter of months. But caught myself before it was too late. I'm 22 with 3 beautiful babies. I had to do it for them. I'm fighting for my life, for my babies lives. Don't become comfortably numb. Our comfort zone is not a good benchmark. Push yourself for better. God bless you all.
May God bless you and your family!
Why did you start heroine in the first place? Life is easy, we make it difficult. And every action has a consequence.

This song is seriously breathtaking. On the surface, the overall sound is beautiful, especially the subtle repeated four notes throughout the hook and parts of the instrumentals. Deeper than that, it’s structured in such an intricate manner you're amazed every time you listen by the complexity. Not only are there several layers to the sound, but it fits perfectly. The voice during the verses really sounds like a shady stoner in an alley trying to sell you some crazy sh*t, and the entire piece has that hazy feeling to it that makes you feel like you’re getting high yourself. How do you know when you’re on the good stuff? When it still hurts like hell but you couldn’t care less. The child is grown, the dream is gone. You feel sick. Your hands feel like two balloons. You know you're losing everything, but that doesn’t matter now. You are comfortably numb. There’s just so much meaning conveyed in the lyrics and music, and then the end instrumental hits. I can’t even describe that solo, and holy heck does that guitar sing. My favorite Pink Floyd song is about getting high as a freaking kite. I know everyone here already knows this song is the absolute bomb, but I really felt like it needed a good paragraph of praise because they deserve a paragraph and more, damnit
@ HR Well fuck.
Well said sir well said
As a recovering addict, I can't listen to this without getting into the angry, crying frenzy of needing money for my stuff, it's slowly getting better and as am I.
Freddie Taylor stay strong
I was there. I made it
to four years now and
I still listen to this song.
Do not give up, you are worthy!
💕 💕
You only coming through in waves!
This will always remind me of my beloved friend Chris Clark. He told me about this song and we used to talk about the meaning behind the lyrics, and because of that I chose it to be played at the end of his funeral service, it was heart wrenchingly fitting and beautiful in a melancholic way. Never had a friendship of the same intensity and closeness ever before,he used to really commit time to being with you and listening to whatever you had to say. ❤
Pink Floyd never gets old. It´s a icon of Rock, an Icon of progressive rock.. Long life to Rock!!
Listening to the line "the child is gone, the dream is gone" as a teen (child) gets me all the time!
Ya that line is Def deep af
Wait till you get older, like in your 20's or even older than that.. than things can really can get quite, lets say "strange"
I feel goosebumps when I listen to this. Am I the only one feeling that way?
I always get those whenever I listen to all floyd’s albums :”
@@tewkesburybury8375 indeed bro.
Your not alone 😔✋
no bro I'm there with you
@@tewkesburybury8375 100% same
This song relates to me in a level where i can't explain and you would not understand.
Me also
Lol i see what you did there
That's true
If you can’t explain it, then it is you who doesn’t understand it. But I see how you used a play on the lyrics in your comment.
No one does
Stoners rejoice. Pink Floyd is the drug of ages. 2020 here I come.
Amen from way back.....
Welcome my friend
I'm 65 years young now and just trying to get back to my R@R roots. See Floyd twice loved them then more now. Like to make friends with the same music I like witch isn't easy anymore. Thanks for your reply man.
I remember when I used to smoke weed I was sent to a different dimension with Floyd. Even not smoking these days (bar very infrequent occasions) I still get to that place. Just immense music
amen my friend
I suffer from quite bad depression. When I feel like it's kicking my ass, I slap this on. Take you somewhere else man. I remember when I first heard it I was a stoned teenager 🤣 this song has saved my life on a few occasions.
I consider myself as a throw away kid. I made my own way, have a decent life, good wife and so on. But when i hear this song it takes me to another place and time. I think anybody can dust themselves off, pull on their boot straps and make their lives better. You don't have to have a lot of money to be rich! By the way, i don't have a lot of money. Lol. Yall have a great evening!
Thank you!!
Should go down in history as the greatest band to ever. I'm an all-around music fan all genres all years as long as it's good I'll listen to it. But I've never heard another band that put as much emotion and told a story like Pink Floyd could.
Especially with the "Wizard of Oz"
Huckster60
Omg I was a freshmen in high school and my sister had my family watch Wizard of Oz and played P.F... Never forget it!😉
Love this song
Dirt Farmer great song
Check out Avenged Sevenfold
This is probably the most powerful song when it comes to going into trance. This song triggers deep, hidden emotional feelings. It is a timeless song that sounds good at every listen.

@@harinjayalath Yes...so???

@@harinjayalath Hi to you as well
@@nilighosh158 what kinda bands you listen to? :)
I can honestly say this song really hits home.. Every time I hear it I become teary eyed. Definetly one of my favorite PF songs non the less.
This is one of the first songs I'm listening to in 2020
The best
you've got a fantastic taste buddy , keep listenin
One of?! How dare you. you really should've just lied and said it was the first song of 2020.
You definitely got it going on!!
I started off with bohemian rhapsody. This is a good one to tho
This brings back the Best of the Bestest Memories of My Home Dawg Kevin Wolford. He passed away in November of 2010, after a long battle of mental illness. God Blessed His Hands With A Guitar, That Could Play This Song Forever. Keep On Rockin Kev. I Love And Miss Ya Homie.
Lost my precious Father 3 1/2 years ago and this song describes about how I feel - existing, but not living the same. The pain never leaves. It will be with me the rest of my life.
Thirty years ago I became painfully numb forever. Not a day goes by without him in my heart and mind! 😥 This song does me in every time...
The lyrics, the beat ,the voice ,everything is pleasantly beautifully.
My father introduced me to Pink Floyd back in 2012 when I was only 9 years old. I never listened to them consistently back then, but in recent years I've dived into all of their albums and shared many great memories with friends while listening to their music. Wish You Were Here and Animals are especially important to me, but this song is one of my favorites. Reminds me of those easy going, laid-back summers spent hanging out with friends as a young and dumb but hopeful teenager
1979: I have become comfortably numb.
2020: WE ALL have become comfortably numb.
Communism intensifies
Jake Sonny Hey, c’mon now. Tell daddy gov’t where it hurts. Oh, your head hurts? Here. It’s just a little pinprick...

初闻不知曲中意，再听已是曲中人。chinese proverb: when i was young and heard this song for the first time, i do not understand its lyric; i listened it again as i have grown up, i realized i have already became the story of this song.
I know what you mean.
"The child is grown, the dream is gone
And I have become comfortably numb"
I say it's never too late, Paul. Go for it!
chinese is really poetic I gotta say
This song is exclusively about a (user) and their provider. (non user)
Every song of Pink Floyd had a story left behind us💖
Absolutely 💯
I can't help but to listen to this song on max volume to feel the guitar solos resonate through me. Pure emotions in those solos
God, how both my late husband and I LOVED this song!!! It still brings tears to my eyes.
Following this song since my childhood. Never thought i would have to listen to this song during the most toughest phase of my life because the most important person of my life just left me.
These guys were awesome!! Thanks Mum for playing such awesome music like this when I was growing up!! That guitar solo still gives me goosebumps
Is and always be my favorite song! Gilmour's technique is flawless! What grabs me every time is when he makes the guitar scream (5:22) during the second solo! Love this song!!
5:52 my friend
This is my favorite all time song. It took it with me in the delivery room in 1989 to deliver my son, who after 22 hours of labor was a C-Section. I can't say I felt "Comfortably Numb".
This was my grandmas favorite song of all time. I knew she liked good music, like Journey and The Eagles, but I listened to this and was blown away!
The line that touch my heart
The child is grown
The dream is gone 🖤❣
I've been in love with this song for 27 years!
how old r u ñow
He's 28 running..🤣🤣
Loving it for 44 yrs too
n me from last 18 years and rest in my life
You're still a youngster 😁
Hope I overcome depression 🖤
God bless you
You can do it
you will never give up
Medication and Meditation can help you!.
I understand you. After a 36-yr marriage that ended in divorce, I'm 66 and fighting depression all day, every day. I've become comfortably numb. I hide my feelings from my family, they wouldn't understand. They don't know the brokenness inside of me.😪 I pray tomorrow is a happy day for all who are fighting depression and feeling broken.
Still listening in 2020. This was I and my brother Neil's favorite song. God rest his soul.
My wife Karen turned me on to Floyd! This is my favorite song ever! I miss you and I will always love you!
She must be in better place..
So glad I grew up listening to this type of music with my dad it really opened my mind to all these different types of rock and rnb
One line that defines life - "The child has grown the dream is gone... I have become comfortably numb".
Possibly the greatest Blues licks in history at the near end of this song. Gilmour outdid himself. I love the blues...and Pink Floyd IS...the blues.
Forty years of hindsight tells us quite clearly that this brilliant recording and the album whence it came (The Wall) have to rank among the greatest records of all time. Truly timeless music.
My favorite Pink Floyd song. Anyone listening in 2023? Such a great tune.🤘🏿🤘🏿🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Of course. I feel like this song pertains to me. Nobody can understand what comfortably numb truly means until you finally get through all the B.S just to come through it and end up being alone and just comfortably numb. Its somethin 😒
Yes. I'm listening too. I think this song applies to many personal experiences and means different things to each listener. When Mr Gilmore goes into his solo it leads the listener into their personal realm to be alone with their psyche. It touches on ones reasons why, pros and cons of situations, waywardness, pain and redemption. This song is an upfront conversation with ones self and eventual accountability.
Yes I feel completely numb.
Yes. This is the only song that can get me out of a crying jag after listening to it a few times. Most wouldn't understand. Thank y'all that relate ❤
@@pattyrosales1249 you'll play your part
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG. People need to wake up from their slumber! Look directly into someones eyes, you can see most are already GONE! Empty inside, souless, materilistic, this song hit it on the head! thanks P.F.
drones mate
+John Randles they have to be... they keep voting for who their masters are going to be next!
I agree with you, though I'm not sure the lyrics in themselves are social commentary. They certainly explore themes of emptiness and isolation.
Spencer Whitworth Its a story about a mental hospital tha had a disturbed doctor who did horrindish things to patients and one member of Floyd who somehow ended up his patience and got the Hell ou of there
WheepingWillow2 deep
First of all: Amazing! Secondly: Wow! Third: I love it!
The truth is, that when I was a child, I loved being sick and getting a fever. The floating feelings that I got, the short, vivid fever dreams... I just loved it! Unsurprisingly, I turned to opiates, including H, just a few years later as a teenager. ... This song feels right to me, it makes my heart beat faster whenever I listen to it because it really touches something within me. When a song can do that, even after you´ve known it for decades, it´s truly a good song.
This isnt just a song, it's an experience ❤
Exactly 💯
Still listening in 2024
Same!!
Me!!!
So am I
Me ❤
Whenever I listen to this I feel like there is someone who understands me .
"And now we listen in Awe," Oh God Yes we do. I think I can safely say this is the best Lyrics video I've ever seen, the words, the timing just perfectly accompany the music. You've done a Man's job sir.
Battling with depression without taking meds!
berenice g 🤗🤗🤗
With meds, but still nope, the same "feeling".
@@ninaj6051 just how we have to train our body we have to train our mind I think it's the hardest. Writing daily seem to help me and going for walks. Depression sucks but I have refuse to take meds.i don't know maybe one day I'll give in
berenice g 58 & no meds yet. I won’t say never. It would be nice if life only ganged up one day at a time. Hugs.
@berenice g You can do this! I know depression must be hard but I believe you have the strength to pull through. ✌️
Passam-se gerações e Pinky Floyd continua tão magistral como nunca....Absurdamente lindo!
dá até arrepio
@@adriennechristy3935
Rock n Roll...
Arrangement, solos and lyric that drive us crazy with this colossal work produced decades ago and still very current today..
“absurdly beautiful” is an excellent way to put it
I'm a massive fan of PINK FLOYD.. I'm 46 now... This is not just only a band.. This is an architect,an art, a poetry and Life....
I became a huge pink floyd fan because when i was on a road trip with my mom she had some pink floyd songs on her playlist, and this song is one of my favorites by them
First time I listened to this song, I reflected on the bong I just smoked and thought about the importance of truth over comfort. Years later now I'm just thinking this song encapsulates capitalist indoctrination, making people think they don't deserve to live their dreams and instead become comfortably numb.
My point being, the feeling this song captures is so universal, it has so many layers of interpretation and relatability, and I may be staying the obvious since this song has been around for decades but even now in 2021 I'm still getting an emotional reaction listening to this as a young man
Yep 👍
The song is about heroin but I guess it can mean anything you want it to be.
Takes me back to my days of cruising on Broadway in my home town, life was so simple and easy then
Thanks for the memories Pink ✌️
LOVE PINK FLOYD.... Great job...keep the classics coming!!!!
This song just never gets old. Sheer perfection!
Pink Floyd soothed the pain of my teenage years!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
This song is literally someone struggling with depression and trying to speak up
Fuckermaster could be but it’s more so about struggling with addiction. Probably both
@@Mr.Obongo Addiction and Depression are cousins.
Heroin addiction n depression. It goes hand in hand tho.
This is about the feeling of being high on heroin
@@caelynpritschau6107 yea like 3 people already told me that but i like to give songs my own interpretations
absolute perfection
Greatest musician in all of time and I'm not trying to upset you ok
angie s so un4-2nate that I found this comment right now😂😂
Any doubt?!
Still numbing, still getting to the deepest tissues of the soul and emotions-forever masterpiece!
The guitar solo is just perfect..it never fails to amaze me..
Hat off if u r listening to this masterpiece during covid 19 time
The lyrics is just aweeeee wow .. the music too is ahhhhh awww wow ..
That guitar solo ❤️❤️❤️...... One of the nicest bestest wonderful guitar 🎸 solo of all time....
Props to one person in my entire life who appreciated Pink Floyd perhaps more than I did: Doug, if you're watching or listening, give life hell.
The child is grown the dream is gone
alan ı feel the same feeligs with you:(((
Exactly! I pondered on this line 😍
Life in a nut shell

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. I have become comfortably numb. Dissociation in a nutshell.
It's amazing...so many years have gone by, and I still have to stop what I am doing and enjoy the moment. THIS is the greatest song I've ever heard. Distinct, its sound is unlike any other.
Such creativity that went into THIS one song... I'm still in awe of this one song!!
and he can damn sure make that guitar SING
+WheepingWillow2 Definitely one of the greatest guitarists ever!!!!!

I agree :)
Emotional guitar 💙 🎶🎶🎵 💖 🎸 🇬🇧 🌙🌙🌙
Cry😭
@@michaelserby7697 i don't think the guitar has emotions but okay
Now we just listen in awe!!! Great line :-)
I had a proper spiritual experience when baked listening to this song! I was crying with ecstatic bliss whilst feeling like I was being hugged by the universe!
This song every time, without a doubt, brings me to tears. It is so amazingly beautiful, I almost can't fathom it.
Anyone healed of depression by these sorta pink Floyd songs?
Here I am one !
As I watched this song being performed before a live audience in Rio, I saw unmistakeable pain on their faces, and I realized that all human beings are withholding some painful memories of loss, disappointment, or lonliness. Everyone...even if they cannot put their finger on it now, you would not understand...this makes tears flow down my cheeks.
plus the way it's one of the very favorite song for all pink floyd fans,this song remains the master piece and need attention and best regards
Pink Floyd is the goat of rock and roll, who can Imagine such music come from the old age.. 🤘 And still remain legendary still.
Man bro
Led and Black Sabbath right up there the Eagles don’t stay far behind, scorpions got that vibe also! Then you have Iron Maiden
This song, so raw, so honest. My beautiful daughter and my beautiful grandson, both who I lost within 7 months of each other. "I feel every, little pinprick". "You are only coming through in waves". "The child is grown, the dream is gone". At the moment 'I have become 'Comfortably Numb'.
I listened this song the last Saturday in Roger Waters concert, it was amazing!!! AMAZING!!!
That solo portion is 10,000 times better than many so known pop songs.
2020❤️Greatest song ever. All the tests & trials life has thrown at me, I have learned to live comfortably numb.
I love David's voice on the chorus so smooth and clean. 🙂☺️
