Without a doubt this is a stellar song from Pink Floyd. Hauntingly beautiful in so many levels. Such magical chemistry between Waters and Gilmour with the harmonies...almost, if not, transcending.
Did-Did-Did-Did-You see the frightend ones? Did-Did-Did-Did-You hear the falling bombs? Did-Did-Did-Did-You ever wonder why we had to run for shelter When the promise of a brave new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
David takes a role of a little light in the darkness that "the Wall" brought by Roger represents. It brings a new wave of emotion, it's not hapiness, it's not hope, you know the candle will stop burning as the songs from the album continue to come along, yet it makes you experience the feeling i've personaly never experienced before.. What a magical piece of art
David’s voice in the Wall to me is Pink’s subconscious. every time his voice appears it serves as a narration to what’s happening to Pink at that moment. When Roger comes in that’s pink Answering or quieting the voice in his head. They play off this nicely in hey you, mother and waiting for the worms. Comfortably numb especially with the emphasis on David singing “this is not how I am... I have become...” such great story telling. So well written
The flames are all long gone but the pain lingers on . . . Like so many Floyd lyrical lines, absolutely timeless and so deeply emotional if you dare to let the music take you there.
The convergence of the best guitarist with the best song writer of our time. It was hard enough to put a single out much less a double album like this in 1979.I have to say that I was lucky to have grown up with this music. I would have been proud to have done so with Elvis, Jerry Lee, and Johnny too, but wow. I still think the Wall is the best album ever released.
I'm 39...I remember hearing this coming from my sisters room for the first time back in '79. I thought it was the most beautiful song I had ever heard. Now, being the age I am, I cannot get over how significant the song still is....and how dark it actually is. But yet, it's still beautiful.
You wrote this comment 13 years ago, so you must be 52 now. I don’t know why it kinda hits me in a strange way. Time flies so fast, 13 years ago feels like yesterday. Wherever you are I hope you’re doing great man.
A haunting song with tragic overtones; the memories never fade of human atrocities and injustices perpetrated against each other. The scars of war never completely heal.
I have always had the greatest respect for British artist's and Pink Floyd was one of the greatest bands ever assembled. What happened to this style of music? I'm happy to have lived through one of the most fantastic times for music.
Such a simple song to play, but genius to write. (Guitarist perspective). Simplicity is gold, each note is exactly where it needs to be for this song needs to hit so hard. Damn
ipnorospo38 ciao io ti dedico a te questo video e io spero che ti piace e io vorrei che tu mi mandassi a me il tuo comento sul mio canale di RUclips poi io ti risponderò e quando tu ascolti questo video tu ascolti tutto lo schermo intero e uno grande spettacolo da RENZO STELLINI
I am so happy for the time when I was born.We had black and white tv with no phone because my grandfather wouldnt have one.There were no cell phones or cable tv.I had a record player and an am radio with a single plastic earphone.But being able to have great bands to listen to like Pink Floyd was worth it all.No regretsI am so happy that all the giants of music are still enjoyed by the younger generations,real music.
We've been being lied to for decades and those who tried to open our eyes before it all went to Hell, were killed, either physically or politically, before they could tell us. Bring back President Trump or a true patriot like him. We cannot live under the Global Elitist rule.
I just came here after listening to a modern guy sing his cover. He had three versions of himself doing the harmony. It was great. But then this....so much better. Unbelievably better. Incredible.
KireKilleuse - There is a full version in 2 parts on RUclips - One is called “The Wall August 8 1980” and the other is “The Wall August 9 1980.” The reason being, the bootleg is actually taken from 2 shows.
This song is how to represent emotion. Emotion is a feeling we cannot describe with words. Instead, harmonized voices and instruments are the only way we can do this.. Just like this song :)
I've always had a block with this album, I never cared for it much aside from a few songs here or there. For some reason I never paid this particular song much attention until I was watching a documentary on the making of the tour and then suddenly the pure beauty and simplicity of this song hit me (no pun intended) like a ton of bricks. I don't know what's more beautiful here; David's playing or David's singing.
love the flange on bass and acoustic! wish it was in original album. To do the wall live is an incredible production. Very difficult!! Thanks again for posting this. MM
the conceptual lyrics of roger together with musical genius of david lead to a great song. that's why roger solo albums are not upto the mark because they lack balance in music which david provided in the albums like dark side of the moon, wish you were here, the wall
Nailed it, Rick e Nick were as important in their own roles and contributed to the band becoming legendary, but Pink Floyd is the Pink Floyd we all because of these two genius, Gilmour and Waters
they perform so well live even to this day..its amazing true musical genius considering the difficulty of even recording such complex and amazing songs
One of my greatest regrets in life is never having seen Floyd live. In my younger years, I thought of them as a "listen while you're messed up" band. Now I realize they played amazing music and did it to play amazing music, not to play for a bunch of messed up teenagers. Sadly, this music is being lost to todays computer generated, no talent, sing to get famous "artists". What is happening to good music...to REAL music? Roger/David...please save the world. Come back to us.
I wish I was born earlier to experience Pink Floyd live. Today I think too many artists rely on computers for vocal help, then it comes the time when they preform live and it sounds nowhere near as good. Pink Floyd kept consistency.
Am telling you sir When you wrote this comment I was five Now that I'm 15 I really thank God that I'm a Pink floyd- Sting - zeppelin - Frank sinatra - enya - eric clapton.... fan I also play classic and electric guitar and keyboard and I love to make music, I know I'd be never as good as these legends but I'll try to be better than others
am I the only one who thinks this song is never long enough.... it's okay, I just play it over and over
I gave you a 'like' 10 years later it looks like. But you're right, it's too short. It's a great song so it needs to be longer.
I agree that this song is not long enough. It’s so simple yet, awesom
Its about 20minutes too short 😎
You are not alone
I agree, this song should have been longer!
They "oooh's" that they sing in this live performance sound amazing. Totally atmospheric
Better is movie version,wich have exposed louder and darker synthesizer
It’s so beautiful
Omg yes I almost cry
I'm right there with ya, especially when you got earbuds. volume all way up itll give u chills
Without a doubt this is a stellar song from Pink Floyd. Hauntingly beautiful in so many levels. Such magical chemistry between Waters and Gilmour with the harmonies...almost, if not, transcending.
One of the best songs ever written.
But I think in the record they should sing the chorus more than just once.
Maybe after the first verse.
Did-Did-Did-Did-You see the frightend ones?
Did-Did-Did-Did-You hear the falling bombs?
Did-Did-Did-Did-You ever wonder why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
RW's father was killed in War. RIP
Jesus. Still one of the most haunting songs out there...
the only thing that ever fucked me off about this song, was that it is too short.
I totally agree.
Like my buzz😎
Yes.
This is so that such music does not drive us crazy! )

Comfortably numb is a perfect example of this for me.

amazing vocals
the greatest band of all times ....
Yes Sir,,,without a doubt.
Absolutely amazing Gift.
Some of the most beautiful “OooOoohs” in any song. Those harmonies!
This song reminds me when the doctors told me that my mom had terminal cancer, still is a very personal song for me
Understand.
Sorry to hear that. I wish you peace
I'm sorry for your loss brother. I hope you have been able to heal from all of that. I wish you peace as well^
i wish this song was way longer. i could listen to this tune for hours. i wouldnt even care if they just hummed the whole thing

make love, not war. Pink Floyd forever!
Looks like David sings in harmony with Rick in verses. Cool. Rest in peace, Rick Wright.
No, Richard Wright never sang any songs during The Wall concerts
@Step198626 Which is unfortunate because his voice would've sounded great in this song, as well as on Hey You.
@Step198626 That's definitely Rick's voice in there

Still here!! And yes, I’m 52. This song is still very heavy and very relevant today! Hope you’re doing well and have had a great holiday!
The beginning harmonies are incredible!!
So amazing live, so awesome
still so perfect
Try standing in front of 80,000 people with Roger's lyrics and concept. Dave knew it was good, but wow. Remember how few performances there were.
yeah is really woww
Look mummy! There's a star destroyer in the sky
Airplane
Look mummy. There’s an airplane up in the sky.
You must be brain dead unbelievable. She says look mommy up in the sky an aeroplane
Look mommy there's a stupid person on this thread l o l

This song gives me goosebumps.
Who loves david?

who doesn't
Meeeee

Dont we all?
One of my favourite floyd tunes. Short but that acoustic guitar and harmony jheez
a masterpiece, the entire album - simply one of the greatest musical accomplishments in history - this will never leave my collection of albums :)))
A haunting song with tragic overtones; the memories never fade of human atrocities and injustices perpetrated against each other. The scars of war never completely heal.
HOLY MOLY. BEAUTIFUL one of my favorite Floyd songs.
I have always had the greatest respect for British artist's and Pink Floyd was one of the greatest bands ever assembled. What happened to this style of music? I'm happy to have lived through one of the most fantastic times for music.
Holy sound!
beautiful song
this song in much underappreciated, one of my favorite floyd songs right here :)
still my favorite song on the wall. completely life-changing, this one
Such a simple song to play, but genius to write. (Guitarist perspective). Simplicity is gold, each note is exactly where it needs to be for this song needs to hit so hard. Damn
This is definitely the best versione in my opinion

One of my favorite pink Floyd songs. I think this song is so beautiful
Best Band Ever! !!!!!
Ever will be !!!!
Wow, look how young! A wonderful and haunting song.

Check out 'The Doomsday Dance' By Robert Nix
We are incapable.
Highly under appreciated song.
as relevant today as it was when it was written in 1979........sadly....
We've been being lied to for decades and those who tried to open our eyes before it all went to Hell, were killed, either physically or politically, before they could tell us. Bring back President Trump or a true patriot like him. We cannot live under the Global Elitist rule.
@@rileycoyote8275 Waters and Gilmour are both anti Trump lmao
The ending transition is so beautiful
This is THE perfection
This sounds amazing
living legends..
Gives me the chills
*Na minha humilde opinião, é e sempre será, a melhor banda de rock de todos os tempos sem dúvida 👍*
Usted tiene la boca llena de razón !
el sonido es increible grande Pink Floyd saludos a todos los amantes de la buena musica
Mon grand regret
N'avoir jamais vu les Pink Floyd en concert.
Merveilleuse chanson contre la guerre malheureusement toujours d'actualité
I just came here after listening to a modern guy sing his cover. He had three versions of himself doing the harmony. It was great.
But then this....so much better. Unbelievably better. Incredible.
One of the best
Hauntingly beautiful with great harmony. I am transported.
This Live Version Of The Wall At Earls Court London, England Is The Best Live Version Of The Wall In History Of The Wall Live Performances.
nintendovcs11, yeah, sadly, there's only a single video of Earls Court with the original audio, and the set 2 was taken down from RUclips.
KireKilleuse - There is a full version in 2 parts on RUclips - One is called “The Wall August 8 1980” and the other is “The Wall August 9 1980.” The reason being, the bootleg is actually taken from 2 shows.
2003Cpayne do you know if theres a dvd with video and audio?
Great song.. great album
Richard's voice is standing out so much in this. He had such a small presence during the Wall years, it's great to hear his voice.
I'm only 17 and this song gets me everytime. Theres just something about it.......I cant explain but I cry everytime I hear it. Its beautiful.
How bloody apt is this song in 2024.
saw pink floyd live & they were AWESOME!!!
This song is how to represent emotion. Emotion is a feeling we cannot describe with words. Instead, harmonized voices and instruments are the only way we can do this.. Just like this song :)
Luke skywalker on guitar.
May the Floyd be with you.

+PhantomPanic lol
Whoever...does it matter ?
Sir David Gilmour....
1:39 perfect way to get back to b minor
Can't get this one out of my head lately!
I cry everytime, I hear this song. Dont know why..
For me is like the loss of innocence and the voice of the kid in the begging, is like the calm before his life starts going wrong...
And if u are anything like myself u have a hard time deciding if they are tears in hope of what's left in the afterlife or tears in fear of the end
Beeautiful & amazing guys

The music was written by Roger in this song.
thanks i didnt see the live performance to that song before pink floyd still the best
This is so kickass to me and I don't believe that I've found a great audio of these songs from the Wall. Thanks for uploading them
perfect,beatyfull and amazing composition
recorded 35 years ago today
Now its been 37 years
40 years and counting.
40 1/2
A sensação despertada por esta música é emoção pura!
I'm gonna have this song played at my funeral, which won't be much longer.
It was always going to be something special. The whole of The Wall is excellent, but this song, Comfortably Numb, and Hey You, stood out.
Pink Floyd is one of the greatest bands ever. As far as I’m concerned David is probably one of the greatest musicians ever
they perform so well live even to this day..its amazing true musical genius considering the difficulty of even recording such complex and amazing songs

extraordinary songwriting..
This song is a lesson ...? we are still far from peace ....
eloy555555 This song is about WW2, not modern 2000's
GranadaFelish I thought it was about Vietnam
CJ WWII. Roger waters lost his father in the battle af Anzio. the song is pretty universal though, it's applicable for just about any war.
CJ The big blue marble is in constant struggle ! !
It would have been amazing to see this in 1980/81. The Wall was the first Floyd album I remember my dad buying.
A banda fora da curva !!!
Beautiful, I really enjoy playing this song on my guitar.
The child at the beginning hits me so hard, emotionally. Fantastic song.
Always Pink Floyd
such a beautiful ending aswell
To people who think this song is depressing, they must not be listening correctly. It's actual music and it's a beautiful song. I LOVE IT!!!!
luv this song...thanks PF
Be sure to checkout 'The Doomsday Dance' By Robert Nix
No one - no one can extract such pure, raw emotion from a few strings like David Gilmour. I want him to live forever.
Such a ridiculously beautiful song!
wow, the sound is amazing, great upload, thanks
@LSD0Moon I was starting to sober up so I listened to this song so I could feel high again. And now, "On the run".
wow ! so clean . well done . made my list!
Wish this song lasted two hours
im crying bro
You are surely somebody that likes good music.

Definitely.
A great song...
