The second guitar solo in this song is one of mankind's greatest achievements.

I wish I could go back and hear Pink Floyd for the first time. Life changing.

[sbalcewicz]

I’m so jealous watching people discover some of best music ever made for the first time. And it’s ok to close your eyes and just vibe.

"When I was a child, I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. the child has grown. the dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb."


Those are some of the best lyrics ever written.

[nealskelton]

It does my old heart good to see a young couple enjoying my generations music. Because one doesn't merely listen to Pink Floyd. One EXPERIENCES Pink Floyd.

[cdm]

I've probably heard this song 500 times in my life and I still get chills when Gilmour hits those high notes in the second solo.

[briancannon]

Seeing Lex lost in the guitar solo is a beautiful thing… We could all tell you were really feeling it. Pink Floyd is as much a feeling as it is a sound.

[davidsharpify]

NOBODY squeezes more raw emotion out of a guitar than David Gilmour.

[phoque]

Thank you David Gilmour for the one of the most beautiful guitar solos ever.

[bulkheadsoundchamber]

Pink Floyd is responsible for a lot of the rock sounds we have today.

[dainherbat]

Lex just gets it. She feels the music the way it is supposed to be.

[stephenroby]

Context is everything. This song is off the album "The Wall, " the main character is a rock star whose world is coming down all around him. He's partyed, done all the drugs, had his share of women, his wife is cheating as well, and leaving him. He's got to perform the next day and they are trying to get him ready, but he just sits trapped in his head. Sid Barrett was the original singer/guitarist/songwriter before David Gilmore joined Pink Floyd. Towards the late 1960s LSD was everywhere, which the band enjoyed rather frequently. Sid on the other hand loved it so much he took so much that his mind went, and never came back. The band tried to keep him in the band, but it wasn't possible so in comes Gilmore. This song speaks of Sid but doesn't out right say his name. The album is a constant theme that they made a cult classic movie which never shows any of the actual band. With live action and animation it's a great movie. It's on youtube called "The Wall."

[brettkenschaft]

NOBODY has as much emotion and expressiveness in their guitar playing as David! Truly one of the all time greats and on my Mount Rushmore!

[MattKrogmeier]

There are two singers on this song. The speaking/sounding verses are bass player Roger Waters, and the chorus bits are sung by David Gilmour. One of the greatest works of art in the 20th century. This song transcends time. It’s 42 years old, and still sounds current.

[markherron]

Since you try and interpret lyrics, I’d recommend “Time”, incredible lyrics and song.

[jojojoe]

The song is about a drug overdose before a show. Its played out in the movie The Wall. Soft part is the person overdosing, the other is the person trying to resusitate him. The pin prick is the medication used to resuscitate. Comfortably numb is overdosed and close to death.

[allisterfiend_]

This song is from the concept album 'The Wall', where each song tells a story which leads into the next song. So the lyrics might seem disjointed but unless you know the context from the other songs, you will feel lost. In this song, the main character is a performer who can not perform for the next show so the doctor is injecting him with a substance to "get him back on his feet again". Pink Floyd is an experience. Check out 'Another Brick In The Wall (part II), you might have heard of that one.

[herrzimm]

During the solo at the end, I'm going "She gets it, she gets it... oh my god, she gets it!"

[krigblast]

I’ve kinda binge watched a lot of y’all’s videos, Lex’s emotional intelligence is off the chain, she’s got the best introspective takes on the songs meanings. Cheers

[josephgrijalva]

Pink Floyd were a band that made 'concept albums'. you can take one song and enjoy it. but the whole of each album is what ties it all together.
