The song is not about drugs. It’s about being ill and being treated by a doctor. You’ll figure it out as more people comment. In any case, welcome to Pink Floyd. You will not be sorry that you stopped by to listen to the greatest band in history.
They just jumped right in the wrong conclusion 😂
@@j.f.almeida9081
everyone seems to. It's been the stereotype since this band started. Haters been hating on them from day 1. Pure jealously.
Listen to a 1016 now now 2023
Mental health mother
Even Dave Gilmour disagrees that Floyd is the best band in history. He has said that The Beatles are better. He called them "a miracle."
Pink Floyd is legitimately one of the greatest bands that's ever been. They've influenced every genre of music that's come after them, in fact, they're their own genre. I hope you listen to more Pink Floyd because every song is more beautiful than the last. Pink Floyd takes you on a journey every time. 💗🖖🏽
Pink Floyd is the best band ever
It wasn’t about drug abuse. He had food poisoning before a show. It reminded him of when he was young. Dr. Came in and gave him a shot to make him feel good enough to continue.
Drug abuse destroyed their friend and founder of Pink Floyd. AKA the album Wish You Were Here.
They most assuredly were not druggies.
I believe it was appendicitis or something along those lines, not food poisoning. Regardless, your 100% right in emphasizing that the band was, for the most part, not on drugs. Aside from Syd and Rick's short lived dip into cocaine during the break up of his marriage.
Exactly
Food poisoning may have been the actual story that influenced the lyrics. But the song is definitely about a rock star who is hooked on drugs and needs a fix to be able to perform.
It’s not autobiographical. It’s semi autobiographical.
Oh, they weren't Boy Scouts by their own admission.
Allegedly Dave did quit smoking after hearing himself in the beginning of Wish you were here. CN is all about Rogers experience during the tour but also describes Pinks thoughts being a drug addicted Rockstar who is caved in behind a wall.
Oh man, you two have to do the 1994 Pulse live version. It's probably the best guitar solo of all time.
Puts the studio version in its place the live version and the studio version is outstanding
@@yiddos1971You beat me to it,I love both versions. I was at Earl's Court in '94 and £25 was a lot of money for me then!🏴
exactly! the power and talent of David Gilmore is unleashed to make the best music of all time.
Exactly
Yes indeed. Pulse version is over the top!
Okay the movie the wall that picks one thing but the true story behind the lyrics are as follows:
In 1977 in Philadelphia Rodger Waters (the bass player and main lyricist for Pink Floyd) was suffering from hepatitis just before a Pink Floyd concert and the doctor gave him a muscle relaxant / painkiller. He went out on stage and couldn't hardly move his arms and said it was the longest 3 hours of his life. He thought how terrible he was playing but the audience was going crazy and loving the music anyway so he became Comfortably Numb!! Back in Rodger Waters childhood he was incredibly sick with a fever of 105 and he was about 7 or 8 years old. He was talking to people he thought but it was like nobody was listening to him and he said his hands felt like balloons. David Gilmour the guitarist and lead singer came up with the music Rodger Waters came up with the lyrics thinking back on those two things that happened in his life which was the catalyst for the lyrics for this song! So the actual song is not about heroin but the way it was depicted in the movie The Wall it kind of looks like heroin!b
EXACTLY TRUE STORY!! YOU GOT THE STORY CORRECT!!
Nah not heroin. Acid. LSD. He was tripping his balls off. Re-watch it.
This song was from an old demo tape of Gilmour. They both wrote the lyrics. It's actually one of the few songs David was involved in. Roger (not Rodger) wrote most of the music.
You have to watch the pulse 94 live version.There's nothing like pink floyd live!!
The storyline at this point in the album is that Pink, the main character, has completely checked out on the daily slings and arrows of life. He is sequestered in a hotel room intent on hiding from society and responsibility; just being comfortably numb. But he is a troubled and disillusioned rock star and he has obligations. His manager with a medical doctor in tow breaks in to his room. It's the Doctor's voice we hear first followed by Pink's response. The doctor gives him an upper to get him up and going so he can make his next show.
Of course the song and the album are deeper than the surface storyline. Addressing as it does with issues of self-actualization and motivation and the difficulties in life that can get in the way of living life to one's fullest potential.
Thank you, the actual correct interpretation of this song!
Pink Floyd is always THE EXPERIENCE 🤗❣️🤗
On Oct 20th 1994 pink Floyd performed at earls court London England. This was the pulse concert. I was at this concert. You must react to comfortably numb live at pulse. It will absolutely blow your mind . Best guitar solo of all time. Welcome to the world of pink Floyd.
If you really listen,you realize that there are two people in this exchange: a doctor & patient. The patent is already 'Comfortably Numb' before the doctor gives him a shot to bring him out of his malaise. It's not about drugs. It's about isolation.
The entire album is about his mental stability. It starts with building the wall his time in the wall and his mental state and the eventual bringing down his mental barriers.
Definitely can't understand the song without understanding the album as a whole. It's just one segment of a larger story. It's all about The Wall.
Religion is just another drug to fill a void. It may be less toxic. But sometimes, depending on the individual or the flavor of religion, it can be even worse.
You're so confused.
They are not confused, I happen to agree with them. Although I admire these 2 people for their faith and their dedication to their faith, the person is not confused. I've been a practicing pagan and witch for 30 years and I am just as committed to my faith. So shove it.
There's a great deal of context lost when you listen to the song by itself. It's like standing at the end of a pier, examining a scoop of water in your hand, and thinking you now understand the ocean.
As has been said, the live Pulse version is an absolute must.
👍👍💯💯
Ooooh First for the Floyd..
Now you gotta do the ''Pulse -94 Live" version... That for sure is like a Religious experience.. it`s what Pink Floyd is doing to you !! Legends...!! :D (and the Lyrics are important too I`d say.., they can help you empathise for/with older and people with illness... ) ... This song is Timeless...Go in Peace and prepare for the Live version !!!! :D :D
Thanks Guys but you have just missed one of THE GREATEST combinations EVER of Music and Lights by not seeing this LIVE AT PULSE.....
OK, here's the story of this song: a movie version of The Wall album was made, featuring a disturbed young rock star (Pink), and his gradual breakdown and isolation from the world (building the wall). He's very successful, and has a beautiful wife (who he also ignores), and while on a tour in America, he calls home only to hear a man answer his home phone.
He realizes he's lost his wife, and this triggers a psychotic event where he trashes his hotel room, cuts off all his hair with a razor blade, and collapses, comatose, into a chair in the room. His manager and hotel staff have to break down the door to his room, and when they can't get him moving, they give him an injection of some drug (just a little pin prick, there'll be no more AAAAAAAAAAHHH!, but you may feel a little sick).
This gets him moving "for the show", and the song ends with Pink being loaded into the limo and taken to the concert.
Much respect for your boldness in regard to Jesus Christ .
He who has The Son has life.
He who has not The Son has not life.
The Bible
Enjoyed the "Pink Floyd Reaction" expression on
Christian's face while listening to the 2nd solo.
That is the completely involuntary look of someone who is 100 % tuned in to the music.
Please check out the PULSE live version of Comfortably Numb. The extended guitar solo and spectacular light show combine for an unforgettable performance.
This song is from an old Gilmour demo tape. It's also one of the few songs that both Roger and David both wrote. Roger wrote the vast majority of the music. The best way to describe the movie is Bob Geldof played a mixture of Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, and Keith Moon all rolled up into one.
Burnt out detached Rock Star being medicated by a doctor prior to taking stage for a concert.
This is from “’The Wall” album. You will understand the context of this track if you listen to the whole record from start to end, a general rule for most Floyd albums. Pink Floyd is a very deep hole to explore. Enjoy the trip.
Good to see today's generation going back to the big rock bands of the past. Pink Floyd is probably the greatest rock band of all time or one of the top anyway. But if you really want to get to know this band the ideal place would be their 1994 "Pulse" live concert video. It is just incredible. Their live concerts are as good if not better then their studio recordings. and the lights are out of this world. You will not regret it.
During the 70's you had to see the best bands and I saw Floyd. If you scored tics you were the man. They were great live. Oh also, with pink you had to be tripping on some good acid. It's a must back then. i was in my teen years all through the 70's. best decade ever.
As others have pointed out, the song is a mix of the personal story of Roger Waters (bassist and lyricist) and the character, Pink, from the album The Wall. You're right to point out that they have a Beatles vibe, though Pink Floyd is more in the progressive-rock camp, and are really their own genre. Their songs tend to touch on universal themes, and their composition tends to start dramatically and sort of pull the listener into another world. David Gilmour is considered one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, and Roger Waters is probably one of the best lyricists around. The band's "secret sauce," though, is Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals and Nick Mason on drums and percussion. Check out the live version of this song, which features what many believe to be one of the greatest live guitar solos ever, and also check out "Time" for more of their powerful universal, immersive songs!
Please please please do the live version… pulse comfortably numb.. you won’t regret it
More Floyd please!
Pink Floyd, don't just write music for their instruments they write "lyrics" for each instrument to sing it's own song
I have bought this album 5 or 6 times through the years. It is the reason I bought a high quality turntable again a couple of years ago. For my money it is in my top five albums of all time.
I like your content folks. Cheers and a sub coming from me here in West Texas! 🇨🇱🔥🤘🏻😎
You have just opened the door to the best rabbit hole of music you could jump into! I agree about checking out the Pulse concert.... also the Rio concert. Welcome and enjoy the journey!!!
It’s funny that you mentioned the Beatles . This album & The Beatles Abbey Road album were both recorded at the Abbey Road studio . They both were worked on by the same sound engineer , Alan Parson , Parson was also producing his own album in which he plays all the instruments , The Alan Parsons Project “.
Pink Floyd studio versions are fine but to really experience Pink Floyd you have to watch it live. They are visual experience as well as musical. And live versions are all much better except a few songs.
You are correct with the description.
I saw them live in ‘94 and they are an incredible band to watch live.
When I was a teenager, I was always up n down psychologically n my best mate lived right across the back from me n he used to always throw stones up at my window n sing the first few bars "Hello, hello, is there anybody up there etc...
great reaction, you really should try the live pulse concert version, you definetly wont regret it
This old vet grew up on it.
94 pulse greatest of all time
Super,dass die jungen Leute gute Musik hören,mit der 7ch aufgewachsen bin.
You picked a great song, but to understand the one song you must listen to the whole album, The wall is one continuing song or opera, separated into individual partner songs, it isn't so much the beautiful music, but a lot of the songs lyrics go hand in hand, with other songs lyrics on the album. Welcome to Pink Floyd, as you explore more of their music, you'll get the gist. Good Video.
Comfortably Numb is a single song off their album The Wall.
The Wall is a concept album, a rock opera of sorts, that tells a cohesive story though the music. Taking a single song out of context, while you can definitely enjoy the music, you lose the contextual place and meaning for the song in the first place.
You genuinely owe it to yourselves to listen to the entire album in a single sitting. Don’t try to do a reaction video. Don’t keep stopping the music to talk about it. Let the music play, and LISTEN. Not just with your ears or your mind, but listen with your soul.
You may or may not be able to put it into words, but the story it tells your soul is a profound one with incredibly deep emotions. It’s something that will stay with you for the rest of your lives.
Then you need to also do the same thing for Dark Side of the Moon. That album is the true seminal Pink Floyd experience. And it truly is a gift from God through Messers Waters, Gilmour, Mason, Wright, and Parsons along with Ms. Torrey.
You need to watch "the wall" it will all be explained,,, pulse concert is a must along with "echoes" live in Gdansk, the Floyd rabbit hole is long winding and full of excellent music, enjoy
Comfortably Numb is not about drugs, although the lyrics of the song are based on a particular incident where a member of the band was ill before a concert and was medicated by a doctor or aide with the primary intent being that the gig not be disrupted, rather than for his own well being. But that is just the singular moment that gave a narrative to something that radically transformed the lives of the band members and is as reality altering and addictive as the most notorious drugs... it's being catapulted to worldwide fame at a level that Dark Side of Moon, one of the biggest albums in history and an omnipresent musical juggernaut of the 70's took them to. The song is about a deep severing of normal communication with their previous lives, the people all around them who no longer viewed them at a fundamental human to human level, and who the band couldn't verbalise the experience of what it was really like. A reality shift too profound. A communication disconnection too far... and it seeped into this band of musical brothers. In some ways, the emotional guitar solo at the end IS the best verbalization of how they felt as the band broke apart, and they could see it happening
Drugs use destructed thier band member. This song is so deep, sublime and it takes you on a ride. Pulse live 1994. Reaction to that is worth another try.
You should react to the live performance at Pompeii, widely renowned as the best ever guitar solo 👍
Ya gotta do the 1994 Pulse concert live version. In fact, EVERY song from that concert is mental!
God bless you both and may you always be in Jesus' embrace.
It’s only sort of about drugs but not in the way you think.
In the story the wall, he’s slipping into depression, he’s a rock star and his manager (which only cares about him doing the show) has a doctor give him something (against his will) so he’ll do the concert.
It’s just one small part of an entire story.
Like other people comment, this song has nothing to do with drugs, but the album Dark side of the Moon came out in 1973 so I can see where people would get that from. To me when I listen to Pink Floyd it like a soothing experience, I like to close my eyes and just listen to the music and helps me to relax.
Love you Guys! Awesome to see The Holy Spirit in both of you.
Watch the pulse gigs and you'll get this live!!🏴🏴🏴🏴
That’s the Dark Side of the Moon album cover but Comfortably Numb is from The Wall album. A bit pedantic of me, admittedly, but I’d hate for anyone to be confused.
Must see it performed live, Pulse concert...sublime
No the bass player had to get a shot before a concert and it made him Comfortably Numb but only for something that happened to him nothing like your thinking. Look into something before you think you know what it is. Bad call!
Actually from "The Wall" album; the image you have displayed is "The Dark Side of the Moon" album - pre-dates "The Wall". The song has nothing to do with drugs😜It is about Pinks (The Character of the Rock Star in "The Wall") gradual process of disassociation from himself, those close to him and ultimately the world around him due to childhood trauma and a dysfunctional relationship with his Mother
This is a good song, the live performance is epic. Maybe the best ever caught on film.
First things first, the image of the video is the cover art from "The Dark Side Of The Moon" and this song is in the album "The Wall".
Second, a copy&paste: The song is conceived as a dialogue between a patient, afflicted by a deep and intolerable pain, and a doctor, who offers him an anaesthetic to soothe his inner suffering.
Roger Waters: "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."
Nice reaction anyway. It's good to see how people have their own interpretation of a certain lyrics. Curiously I did drugs too in my youth (now I smoke before I go to sleep so I can sleep a little better) but I've never joint those dots about recreational drugs in this song in particular.
Greetings from the Basque Country, between Spain and France.
On The Turning Away live from A Delicate Sound Of Thunder show. Amazing to see them perform.
as already said you should try the pulse live version
The child has grown. The dream is gone.
I know.
Floyd is more than music, it must be experienced. Their music is very political and exposes many truths in our falling society. It takes a while. Headphones for sure.
Time the song
will make you Cry
Makes everyone Think ohhhhh crap
Where did it go
What have I done😮
Wrong graphic, "Comfortably Numb" is on their album THE WALL, not THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
I don't remember the specifics, but it had to do with one of the band members being treated by a Dr. Whatever the treatment was, it made his hands feel like 2 ballons (in the lyrics). He then had to go play a show feeling this way.
The song relates to the main character of the concept album The Wall, Pink, and his increasing feelings of alienation and isolation. You need to listen to the entire album or, better yet, watch the movie.
This song is about whatever people think it's about
Excellent choice for a reaction. This is from Pink Floyd’s double concept album, “The Wall”, which is the story of the fictional young lad, Pink, who wants to grow up and become a rock star. Over the first three sides, he achieves his dream, but at a high personal cost. As he grew up, he found he had to put up walls to protect himself from people who hurt him - his over-bearing mother, his teachers, his girlfriend; hence, the album title.
Pink has come to hate the life he’s built, filled with leeches and sycophants who are just using him, and nobody left who cares about him. He’s alone. To cope with his despair, he turns to drugs to numb his pain, and allow him to gain temporary relief by becoming comfortably numb.
As the song begins, it’s one night before a concert, and Pink is too stoned to perform. Here on the album cut, you can hear the people around him - a groupie, asking if he’s feeling okay, the promoter knocking on the door, telling him it’s “time to go-o!” But all Pink can think of is, is there anybody out there who cares?
The first voice we hear is a random local doctor. The promoter, terrified that he might have to give refunds, called the doc to try and get Pink into some kind of shape to perform. The doctor is trying to assess Pink's condition, and guess what drugs Pink may have taken. The chorus is Pink, trying to answer as best he can (“You are only coming thru in waves. Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying…”) The doc mixes up his best ‘sober up’ drug cocktail, injects it into Pink (“Just a little pin-prick…” chime) and sends him out on stage.
The first guitar solo is while Pink is still stoned. It’s beautiful, it soars and dives, and is the musical personification of ‘Comfortably Numb’. But the second solo is after the shot has taken effect. Pink has to face the life he hates, and David Gilmour’s magnificent second solo is filled with Pink's aching loneliness, his self-loathing, his rage, his pain, and Gilmour makes us feel it all.
The song was based on an actual incident that happened to bassist and songwriter Roger Waters when the band was touring in '77. In that case, Waters was diagnosed with hepatitis, not recreational drug use. (Waters does NOT recall the situation fondly.)
And finally, a request, perhaps an unusual one: I want to react to this same song again, but a live version. In 1994, Roger Waters had left the band nearly ten years previously, and Pink Floyd had just released what would turn out to be their last studio album, “The Division Bell”. The band was nearly 30 years old, the band members were middle-aged, and they may have decided this would be their last concert tour. So they created the most expensive tour in history to that time. They built a MASSIVE stage that dominated American football stadiums - three days to set it up, two more to take it down, and three of these stages hopscotching each other around the world. They recorded the European leg of the tour and released it on CD, and later on DVD & Blu-ray as the PULSE Concert (so named because the CD had a red LED in the spine that flashed, or 'pulsed'.)
It was a LEGENDARY concert. Every song was spectacular, not only from a technical audio side, but also because of the absolutely incredible light show. Pink Floyd brought their own reality, and for three hours, they let us visit them there. I had the privilege of seeing this tour with 65,000 friends, and it blew every single one of us away. And the song that brought down the house that night was “Comfortably Numb”. It’s been called ~arguably~ the greatest concert performance ever recorded. So I’m asking you to consider reacting to it. It’s the kind of performance that, when it’s over, reactors just sit back with wide eyes, and go “WOW…”
God pour out blessings on you both, and may one of those blessings be success. Keep the faith.
All the stories you hear, this was a song about being ill b4 a show, and learning it was Hepatitis after...btw, the live version is farrr better
Comfortably Numb is off The Wall. The backdrop is Dark Side of the Moon, a different Album lol
There are 'better' guitar players than David Gilmore but absolutely nobody brings the guitar more life and soul.
Thou I feel a little sick, the pain is gone... let's go, the show must go on
It comes from the Album The Wall, a concept album turned into a movie. “Pink” is the main character going through a buttload of life circumstances AND he’s the leader of the fictional band in the movie. He’s broke down so low, they shoot him up to be able to perform. Critics say this experience is what an Original band member, Sid from the real band Pink Floyd went through before going crazy.
Coincidentally I came into this video immediately after listening to a podcast called Mega and the link seamless. It might as well be all one show.
Ywou’re not exactly wrong. The song is part of the story, The Wall album. This song in earlier forms was called “The Doctor”. So yes the character in the song is getting an injection to help him perform. For many of us who have never “shot up”, like I don’t think any members of Pink Floyd ever did either, this dong had different layers that hit us no matter hoe many times we’ve heard it
Not about drugs, as several have mentioned. However LSD and Pink Floyd go together very well.
Great ending melodic masterpiece.
Wow, Pink Floyd, "who are they".

it is about drugs in a way . The song is about Syd Barret one of the founders of the Band. He was one of those geniuses that crossed the line between genius and madness with the help of things like, LSD, Peyote syd died in 2014 after a long battle with mental illness. The entire album is dedicated too and about syd barret . A work of love
No. Really. Not EVERY Pink Floyd song is about Syd Barrett. This song is about an episode in young Pink's life (where he had a fever) and in his older life (unable to perform due to mental and physical exhaustion).
If you want to see the main band line-up playing live in an ancient Roman Amphitheatre with No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics just Gods playing to the Gods
Pink Floyd "Echoes (Part 1)" live at Pompeii 1972
A little song about how we are all related and should be better human beings.
"strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me"
The studio version is better. ✌🏽
WHO SUGGESTED THIS VERSION!!!????
I donated over a month ago for a request and was wondering if there is a certain amount for a request you need to do the song.
Great song! I suggest you guys to check both Dark side of the moon and Pulse live show, you won't regret it. Probably one of the best albums and live shows ever. Cheers!
i also was on drugs, then i filled the GOD sized hole i had in me and i been clean and sober for more than 32 years now
if you wrote every Rock song on a piece of paper and put them in a bucket, you have only found 4 of more then 2000 songs that are considered the Best rock songs of all time, the 4 being this one in the video, November rain, more then a feeling, and Thunderstruck.
all im saying is, dig hard in that bucket, because theres a lot of songs that will prove that Rock is the greatest genre of all time, im talking Rock N Roll, Metal, Hard Rock, not genres like Rap rock, Country Rock, or Pop Rock
Talk at the end of the song
Guys you need to do Pulse live version from 1994, much better than the studio version!
I'm back on my feet again... it's working good
The art of the pause!.
Nuff said.
Best music ever......
BEST SONG EVER
God bless you both. You spoke TRUTH
It's about heroin. I've been listening to this song for decades now and that's my interpretation and I'm sticking by it. Don't care what anyone else says including the artists themselves.
The best guitar ever
I'd love to see you react to XTC's "Dear God". And I'm not saying that to be provocative. I'm a firm believer, but I love to hear what other firm believers make of it.
It's obviously about waking and realizing you've lost everything
check out this song on the live pulse concert. 100 times better
Not necessarily heroin but yes the song is about how a person feels when on certain drugs. Not all drugs make you feel "comfortably numb". Other commentators will explain the inspiration for why the song was written but yeah, its about a feeling caused by drugs. Pink Floyd are their own genre.
The Holy Spirit is my Comforter
First rule of Pink Floyd. Do NOT pause Pink Floyd.
Regardless of whatever deeper meaning people say it has; all of it is the same as "drugs" and the mindset that gets you to that point.
A/ check out the pulse concert live version 1994 best guitar solo ever! B/ it’s not about drugs.
