- Fan made music video with footage taken from pink floyd's "The Wall" to one of my favourite songs ever! The idea was to use the "overdose" scene as a basis as i edited my favourite images from the film to try and depict "Pink's" descent into his overdose nightmare! Turned out pretty well i thought! Hope you all enjoy!

I'm proud to say Ive been sober for nearly 3 months, and this song is my drug of choice now
Bravo mate. I too was sober for 8 years. This song was so like the states i was in while gouching on heroin. On a meth program now and doing great but yeah there was some awful times but there was sooo many good times listening to this music while on drugs which was just magic.
P/S I do consider myself sober..My life is not chaotic,do not steal from my beloveds, steal from shops..Have a job,work part time with the Hep c trust helping people get the help without the stigma so yeah im sober mate.
Jack Chang that's awesome!!! I have 6 years. I have been obsessively watching this video the past summer (since June). I love the movie.
Jack Chang
pink floyd always used to be the best drug 👍
Jack Chang Good job
getting away with it
it will be a long time before anyone makes music as good as this
I would make a case and say that 'I-Exist' is making some solid music for instance.
That's not true, you just have to listen for it
If ever
try listening to alter bridge- black bird
Try Porcupine Tree
I've listened to this song on times that i was feeling depressed and its gotten me to tears time and time again. i absolutely love it..
So glad my parents showed me this music :)
I saw pink floyd in concert in 1986, I've heard this song so many times, I lost my father 28yrs ago to alcoholism, my brother 6yrs ago 4months ago I finally HEARD THIS SONG! Although I know this song is not about addiction, it represents what I watched my brother and father numb out to life.
absolutley the best guitar solo of all time ever. period
A dangerous song for me to listen to. It brings such passion. I want to run away from my job and just exist. Of course, I will wake up tomorrow and go back to work. Just leaves me feeling so melancholy that I find it hard to think about a job and all that it entails. Timeless message. Thanks for making me remember.
some of the greatest music ever made
I wish all the kids of today could somehow go back in time, and experience what it was like to have actually been there. It was incredible. Actually, I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again. I had a frikin blast! Thanks for posting.
I'd actually pay for this, really. Better than nowdays!
I'm 13 and I grew up around.d this . . . This music is my happyness ecerytime I go skating I ask them to play pink flyde or guns and roses
dwight mcglumphy man im 13 too seriosly me and you know what is real good music
Agreed joao luis
I'm only 12 and I know this
That ending solo is just incredibly perfect.
It’s my favourite Pink Floyd song i know it by heart
the best song ever-waters gilmour wright mason- the wall -this track i believe is a masterpiece
"Comfortably Numb" is proof that you can make more beautiful solo of Guitar World, without much speed and technicalities, only Heart and Virtuosity !!.
This guitarsolo at the end is so epic
Oh man oh man oh man oh wow oh man... 30 years ago when I began to get stoned this was the album that was in the background constantly... And the music had real meaning for me at 18 years old... And now 30 years later after being sober for 6 months, I've rediscovered the music... And all those years when I was stoned I didn't need music I didn't need any outside stimulus whatsoever because the meds were all I needed to function everyday... Now that I can think and feel and taste and touch and smell again, I look at the music with a newfound amazement... Because I can I put my whole set of adult experiences up against the music now.... And holy Christ oh my god... These old songs are new again because they bring new meaning into my life... This video is rock'n'roll perfection... Is Pink Floyd the Wall did not exist, Rock n Roll would have to invent it... David Gilmour's haunting guitar in this song... Pink being absolutely pounded by his life... missing his father... seeing what's happened with his relationship with his woman...being doped up...oh my god that's the story of my adult life... How can music be so perfect... Well this is...especially for me. Wow. Incredible...
Congrats on your recovery........
I am also your age and am once again about 6 months sober from booze and opiates. I ask you how you can enjoy music again. It doesn't do it for me with some sort of altering reality...........I am seeing an addiction specialist who has been prescribing me a cocktail of pharma which he calls medication assisted recovery and is an advocate......This is a dangerous place!
Patrick Morton trying to stay away from almost all pills at this stage...I'm not cured I'm still a gutter level thieving lying junkie...I chose not to use today, so today was good...I don't think about tomorrow until it is my current today, and then try to choose not to use in that day...then that was a good day...I either beat it or I don't...if I don't, "spring fashions for body bags" will have me as their poster boy...and so it goes...congrats, but be careful not to get addicted to the dope they're giving you to kick the dope...hope it works for you...I could no longer serve my addiction... And I no longer do...
OMG! I‘ve been searching for this video for a long time ago! Thanks Steven!
You're very welcome!

What a master piece 🧩
I'm 53 years old and to my great shame until about two weeks ago I'd never even heard of 'Comfortably Numb'. (I was only barely aware of Pink Floyd!) Now I'm absolutely obsessed with them, but particularly 'Comfortably Numb'! And out of all the different versions on UA-cam, with different visuals and different performances (this is, in my opinion, definitely THE best musical performance), yours has the honour of being my absolute favourite version! Thank you so much for this.
I completely agree with you. Pink Floyd is amazing. Also, how does it feel to be 63?
@@worlddestroyer2499 It feels sad to think back to that naive and innocent young man who made that comment a whole decade ago. 🙂
@@SpecialBrewCan Perhaps some change is for the best? I say that, yet I still fear the future. Change is terrifying. It's only so long before I reach the age that I have to leave my mom and get a job. 😆
The lyrics of this track are worth to sit down and listen time and time again, bad ass track and the guitarist what can you say he rocked it big time. PINK FLOYD 4EVER, IF YOU DON'T LIKE PINK FLOYD LISTEN TO THEM EXPRESS WHAT THE FEEL THRU THEIR MUSIC.
fake pink floyd fan here
well not fake, but just another mainstream fan boy
Wow!!!!!! I'm 67 and love me lots of music but man, this video is awesome!!! Love Pink Floyd and the floating, dreaming and soaring rhythms & melodies... this video is really inspiring to me as a writer!
Unbelievable, I want to go back in time, this was the music!
This video convinced me to never to do drugs more than any amount of Anti-Drug seminars that they have at my High School
Indeed!
+Peter Burtis Far as I go is pot, hell I don't even drink alcohol.
+33mavboy Same
+33mavboy not even lsd once a week :( ?
lsd few times a year live4train
pink floyd is bad ass i got my 21 year old son listening to them when he was 6 or 7 years old. he told me at first he was scared of the music now he is 21 and loves the shit out of pink floyd...happy mama here...
The guitar solos gave me multiple eargasms and always made me speechless after hearing this great masterpiece.
I like how they retained their British accent. Unlike so many British singers who try to sound American for broader appeal (talking to you, Adele).
I have watched just about every version of this song on UA-cam, and this is by far the best
one of my all-time favorites. Brings back memories about my brother, my uncles, among other things...
Bought the vinyl in 1980 for my 18th birthday. Still have it, plus the VHS video, DVD and Roger Water's Berlin Concert. Their concert here in 1988 was the best live show I have ever attended.
Para mi el mejor solo aunque lo hayan posicionado en el número 4 . Magia pura con Pink Floyd!
Excellent video - the images fit perfectly with the music. I played this for my teenage sons - they love it and immediately downloaded it; this epic level of music is timeless.
O M G !!! I AM 50 YRS OLD AND FLOYD ASSISTED ME IN ALL MY EXCURSIONS OF LEAVING THE EARTH TO EXAMINE COLORS AND SOUND , ANIMALS TOOK ME TO PLACES THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!
One of the greatest songs I have ever heard. Talking about classic music, this is one of them.
I used to listen to this when I was like 9 on my iPod nano and I would mock it and laugh at it all the time, but now I'm 15, and I sit in my room and just cry whenever I hear it on the radio or something...
I melt every time I hear this.
Yes, Steven, you did an exceptional job of editing the clips to tell the story! Thumbs up!
This is one of my very favorite Pink Floyd songs and I really appreciate your creativity.
:-) Sandy
After all these years. I still come back for more.
people only see the good parts of this old genre of music and the bad parts of music nowadays. like "old music" is more that just queen, the beatles and pink floyd. and "nowadays music" is more than just lil wayne justin bieber etc.
+Kennedy640 Well someone spoke the truth!
Then again, what are we to call classical? Pretty sure a century from now, people might consider Justin Beiber's music/etc classics..?

+Kennedy640 You forgot Nirvana
-_-
The best musical video ever made.
There is so much hate in the world today. Even here in America the country has divided us. There's fear in the air & no one looks at one another anymore. It was not like this when I was growing up. The junk they put out now can't even be called music. I listen to none of it, only the real artists like this. I needed an escape today. All the hate, the flag burnings.. I'm tired & I'm weary. I need to be comfortably numb.........
.....just like me.
+Jane Smith Well said and I agree .
+Jane Smith you do not want to be comfortably numb
+Jane Smith being comfortably numb will allow the things that make you feel this way to continue on, you must rise up and awaken others so we can change the world.
+EverlastingCumStain I lost 2 sisters & many friends to what you are speaking of, that is not what I mean by my comment, But thank you for your comment
I've never been high, don't want to be, but I have a tremendous amount of empathy for those who do. This is a very very harsh world we live in. Sometimes you just do all you can to keep your head above water. NO ONE SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR DOING DRUGS. I have friends who are experimenting at the moment. I caution them, but in the end it's their decision.
This song is amazing. I am so glad to read that it gives people comfort. I was 10 when it came out, didn't really appreciate it then, definitely do now. Thanks for putting this video together.
This song gives me goosebumps man. Remember the first time I heard this it was like 2000 and something and I was in the middle of a session. All the harmonies and wird effects made me trip balls!
I was in Vietnam USMC Sniper 69-70 & we had to stay Comfortably numb because we didn't know if the next bullet may be for you. I had a Scout that worked with me from New York & I was from South Carolina but we were tight and he died in my arms and allI could do was holler for Medic's to get him to the Helicopter & I was right back in the shit if you stopped for 1 second you would bite the dust. It was a terrible War & our damn Govt. was responsible for most of the 50 thousand plus men & women that diedover there. Their was any kind of drug you can imagine over there & our Govt. had to bethe one to send it in. Oh well God Bless the ones that died & the MIA'S bad memories.Larry USMC NAM 69-70 SEMPER-FI
+larry reeves my uncle was over there 101st air born he was a door gunner by the name of gorge brown then i had a nouther uncle there as well named john roy millikin he was in the army or usmc been serching for some info on him both from danville ill. my family didnt talk much of what he did or done i know it was hell over there and i have respect for all who served and serve now and for those who never be forgotten and to you sir thank you ,if you have herd of john roy millikin please let me know and if you have not may i ask of you to how to look in the right way of doing so ,,,,,thank you .
+larry reeves thank you...for showing me second hand just how corrupt our government is.
Hello Funny I spoke the absolute truth about our Govt. and it has always been this way people just didn't have the resources that we do today. Go on Jeff Rense.com he was here in the U.S. and they run him out of the country because he was telling people the truth about our Govt. He is now in Britian and still letting it flow.

+larry reeves Nobody deserved that war - most products come from communist China now - what an absolute waste of life - peace to you.

Now this is what I call Music!!!!!!!!!!! Thx for posting! :)
When I was a child I had a fever, my hands felt just like two balloons,Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You would not understand
This is not how I am
I... Have become comfortably numb
This sentences touched my heart so deep .
That guitar solo near the end always gives me chills. It's such an immense release of pain and other emotions, all pouring over you at once
I Re-Discover this song writing my University tesis, and play it over and over again, feeling my childhood memories coming back... thanks!!
By far the best Album and Movie ever made. Can't stand new generation shit.
HEY! I DON'T TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT!!!
You BETTA NOT!
I totally agree with you!!!
Just, yes
Ok boomer
This is by far my favorite Pink Floyd song. Thanks so much for putting this up!
17 listening to this. Old soul stuck in a new body. I wanna go back in time and live this bad ass era. Please.
Floyd fan 4. 30 years good job on the Video Steven Ovington
Oh damn, they have such weird creepy music. Yet they are one off the best bands and most successful in the world. I'm gonna bee an Pinkie Floyd fan soon.
Dave the best of Guitar!!.
Oh my God the guitar solo is so powerful and sensitive. So full of strength and pain. It brings me tears...for me it is even better than the one in "High Hopes" or "Marooned"....
Pink Floyd for ever my favorite rock band...for ever...
Yeah imho "High Hopes" and "Marooned" are just overrated revisits of "Meddle", whilst "Comfortably Numb" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" are true epics with the most, sensitive, moving and powerful guitar work.
In a radio interview around 1980 with Jim Ladd from KLOS in Los Angeles, Waters said part of the song is about the time he got hepatitis but didn't know it. Pink Floyd had to do a show that night in Philadelphia, and the doctor Roger saw gave him a sedative to help the pain, thinking it was a stomach disorder. At the show, Roger's hands were numb "like two toy balloons." He was unable to focus, but also realized the fans didn't care because they were so busy screaming, hence "comfortably" numb. He said most of The Wall is about alienation between the audience and band.
Exploring further, Mojo asked Waters about the line, "That'll keep you going through the show," referring to getting medicated before going on-stage. He explained: "That comes from a specific show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia (June 29, 1977). I had stomach cramps so bad that I thought I wasn't able to go on. A doctor backstage gave me a shot of something that I swear to God would have killed a f---ing elephant. I did the whole show hardly able to raise my hand above my knee. He said it was a muscular relaxant. But it rendered me almost insensible. It was so bad that at the end of the show, the audience was baying for more. I couldn't do it. They did the encore about me." >>
The best solo ever ! What a song !
mon premier album acheter !!!
leo123deg456 Et bien, pour un premier album, c'était un très très bon !
ha la oui que du tout bon (bientot un nouvel album des PINKFLOYD) au mois de novembre !!!
Always loved this album.
This song gives me chills over and over again.
Magnificent!
Roger Waters wrote the lyrics. While many people thought the song was about drugs, Waters claims it is not. The lyrics are about what he felt like as a child when he was sick with a fever. As an adult, he got that feeling again sometimes, entering a state of delirium, where he felt detached from reality. He told Mojo magazine (December 2009) that the lines, "When I was a child I had a fever/My hands felt just like two balloons" were autobiographical. He explained: "I remember having the flu or something, an infection with a temperature of 105 and being delirious. It wasn't like the hands looked like balloons, but they looked way too big, frightening. A lot of people think those lines are about masturbation. God knows why."
Latisha Loftis That's so awesome you cleared the mistook so many have for what this song is truly capturing! Well told Latisha Loftis
Latisha Loftis you are very correct Waters had troubled child hood, father at war, plus living during all the chaos, but brilliant man, David Gilmore as well huge fan of both
It is also because Rogers before a few concerts took a drug to relax muscles because he was stressed a lot.
I loved this edition, good job
This is a song that described my life for so long. Still an all time favorite I know word for word
One of my favorites....Thank you so much, Steven!
Thank You! This is AMAZING!!
I watched while stoned and wow man this is just boosting my high
dieses Lied bewegt uns alle sehr tief, als mein Vater die letzte Reise begann, war dieses Lied sein letzter Wunsch, es auf seiner Beerdigung zu spielen😪
thanks for always being there pink i do not think there is any better way of describing isolation pushing one into numbness and at this point in my life being numb is necessary
I was watching this movie last night. It's a really intense movie.
verdadeira obra de arte.
I am overwhelmed by how beautiful this is
I honestly don't know what I would do with out this song thank you Pink Floyd
Quite possibly the most powerful song known to man. Also great job on the timing of the animated visuals, it really complemented the music.
Being only 40 I grew up with Pink Floyd and many others I have watched the movie and it changed my life and how I viewed the world! I always come back to this as a reminder
ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WATCH/EXPERIENCE!!!! LOVE THIS ALBUM AND LOVE THIS SONG! WELL DONE!
I just want you to know, I've never seen The Wall. Only listened to the album which I LOVE. I wanted to hear this song tonight and happened upon your fanvid. I can tell what an amazing work of art the film must be now, mainly due to your talented arrangement. By the end, I found myself leaning into the screen...almost crying. You told a gorgeous with your clips, and I fully intend to see The Wall ASAP. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :)
Best guitar solos ever
Agree we use listen to this all the time miss u! Please get ahold of me regarding our kid
love that song comfortably numb awesome!!!
Great sound!! I had to look out of my window to see who was knocking when it started!! Love the music (story of my life)
Best song ever!!!!
Some people think this doesn't represent what actually happens in some minds. I have to say on defense, there are Pinks out there who are going through hell in their minds. I have been going through it all my life. I have considered suicide since I was in my mid teens. Only by the grace of God that I have made it to the age of 50 without killing myself, anyone who tortured and tormented me in all the times of my life. By all rights, they should by now have put me away and thrown the key away. Doctors are useless. Family has their own lives, no real friend, no life, no wife, no real job(let alone a career), no home of my own(just an 8x8ft room. Can't do the things I loved anymore. Couldn't make a career out of the only thing I did better than most everyone else, yet the other ones out there suck and make a living at it. I see all around me people living there lives as routine as getting up for a drink of water. Everything has been a major ordeal for me just to get through a simple day of trying to accomplish small tasks. I can't stand it. No love, No energy, No looking forward to the next morning. I have taken up some drinking to cope, where medications only do so much. Can't think straight, focus my mind, remember, organize my confused and delusional thoughts. I just can't get up out of this damn chair anymore. No reason to. Do You Care???!!!
Everyday that passes is more and more torture to just get up and function. I can't keep up what I have been doing for so long now. No one can help. Torture and torment day after day. I have to wake up one more day each time. Just to watch YOU all live your lives as you rub it in my face. One of you after another. You don't even ask if I'm ok. If I didn't have to work to pay bills, go out to the store for junk to sustain myself and just keep going on with it, I would just be here, no where, nothing, and no one would notice or try to reach out. You don't have the time anyway if you did.

Robert Vojvodić What is that?, "Too Long Despised, Never Respected?"
Just please try to hang in. Stop the internal dialogue. Watch the news!! These are "the signs" that the world (this system of things) is about to undergo a change. About 10,000 people around the world a day are seeing it. - AND making changes. Composite signs. Yes..I do care. You are not alone.
Yes, I care! Because I can relate!
Wonderful. Thanks for fans and Pink Floyd.
Comfortably numb after watching this video...superlike👌👍
I always listen to the recording, as well as play it on guitar to always keep it alive... All the members of PF are brilliant.... but those guitar solo's are crucial to the song's!!
I have such a huge obsession with this movie. Wish I could find the dvd. :( Anyone know where I can buy it online?
ikr. its a good thing roger walters is going to be making this movie again this year
Tony Miller thank you so much!! :)

Fan made? You a professional editor? 'Cause that was excellent! Seriously one of the best rocks songs ever recorded.
+twosdayschild Yeah that video was very well made. Definitely some of the best editing in a video I've seen before.
the wall movie
Nolan Pearson Hi...the images are from the film "The Wall" but I can assure you it took me hours to rearrange the clips I selected from the film and "edit" them into a narrative to fit the song! Watch "The Wall" again and you will see what I am taking about ;)
at the age of 15-that summer, it was--i had become numb to everything-(NOT COMFORTABLY, THOUGH) i was very afraid-i had not the support of my parents-who wanted to acknowledge only-EXCELLENCE FROM ME. less than a month, I was to enter art-school-AND I WAS AFRAID!
My resolution then; in order to waken from my stupour-i had decided to commit suicide--so, announcing NOTHING yo anyone-I climbed the stairs of a tall building-reached the 24th floor-entered its lobby-stepped out the window-sat on its ledge, preparing to jump - an older man had been watching me-though i had not noticed his presence-so numb, i was.
but the man, i suppose had known what i was to do-so that very carefully-stuck his head out from an adjacent window-extended his arm-offering me to hold on to his hand-but i would not---so, he asked me if i wanted to hear a joke-(i had no idea what this sudden apparition wanted fro me)--but he had caught my attention-and so i listened--the joke i still remember--and it was HILARIOUS!!!
And i began to laugh-hearing myself-the laughter coming from me--the NUMBNESS broke--and i was wakened to feel.
so taking his hand-holding on very determinedly-(you see, i no longer wanted to die!) i allowed him to take me into safety and by so doing--back into confronting life, but with renewed appreciation.
this is another sad night---no matter, i am sharing this song of remebrance with you; PEOPLE.
Thank you.
had it not been for that good of heart-STRANGER-who intervened - by NOW - most certainly - I WOULD BE DEAD!
Bless him, wherever he may be--for he was not an apparition-nor mirage to me-while so desperately THIRSTY AND LOST-in my own desert-he was HUMAN, HUMANE, AND OF FLESH AND BLOOD!
Thankfully. that is ALL in the past now.
thank you
PLEASE: I may not nor will i answer any more notifications for a while-UNTIL THEN: please respect what i ask - no notifications sent to me.
I WILL RETURN, AS PROMISED. But that time is NOT Now!
thank you.
m-g O.
i am fine now-the problem remaining is my computer having a mind of its' own-it has developed really strange problems! but it has got to go back to manufacturer, no matter what-so, that is what MUST happen.
thank you.
i have survived what nearly killed me.
I intuit, i am past the great danger - of Then.
I, am grateful and thankful!!!
and now, i will return to BENNY MORE!
Celia, Aslam, and mehmet - would you consider traveling to Cuba with me?
I will be staying there, permanently... but , the 4 of us, would enjoy such a journey, queridos corazones!
and now, Beny awaits my return.
I shall meet with you, a little later on.
xoxoxo!
greci.
Good job! I love your twist on the scene. I'm obsessed with this movie too. Every time I watch it, I see something new. Art at it's finest.
Incredible!!!! this song blow my mind!!!!
The child is grown
The dream is gone..
Your lips move but I can’t hear what your saying
To all our Band Mates That are now Gone ahead of us. See you all soon enough until then, Rock on!
James Parrish of "Parrish & Wilde"
this took me back, decades!!! jeez, was that my life??? I cant believe how old I am with how old I feel... but this is a classic!
This song has brought me to tears many times, it hits so close to home.
RIP Bob Hoskins(the guy with the glasses)

My God at last I've found it! I've been looking for this comfortney numb video for so long.thank you,Nicky.xx
just pure perfection music and visually...brilliant!!! :)
I watched the movie (Pink Floyd, The Wall) on acid back in the day........ It was as if the meaning was amplified, the bits became megabits.
I felt as if my whole being was transfused with meaning, all explanations, all meanings simple to grasp.
The master of reality.
And then the acid wore off and it kinda felt normal after that.
+Frans Mars LOL so did I , with my boyfriend.....
same
+Frans Mars my pops did the same thing when he saw it in theatres, he was a rebel in Mexico
+Frans Mars Yes sir. I always likened it to a fire hose opening. It all just starts to pour in and out.
+Frans Mars Did the same at a late night cinema and thank god they put cheech and chong up in smoke on after!
