"Comfortably Numb"....is this what it's going to be? (Pink Floyd ..30 yrs Ago)

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting 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 is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

always sends a chill down my spine...

i`m going out kicking and screaming....

Its a great song yes. A classic. Full of feeling... but capable of causing deep depression if you feel too much.


I am going to have to go listen to it now. Damn you ! :)


Edited to add: One of the best albums of all time.

a REMINDER...

Is the way I view it. Not looking to have folks increase their meds or anything.

And I will enjoy it... :)

Thx for the post.

Is that the name ? Not very lucky with google tonight.

If you have good speakers...it's incredible!

Listening to it now ...Your song "numb" The dark melodies are making my night much better. Its just what I needed right now.


Thanks again


edited to add I got 5.1 and lots of wattage.

:D

In The Flesh (Waters) 1:36

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

Brilliant.

that probably explains where that music is these days. Lost to petty squabbles:(

in US.. Claim they have a group that does the "light show" and sounds just like Pink Floyd. Apparently there's enough interest in this old group. :shrug:

They are coming to Durham, NC. and probably elsewhere across USA.

Hello, is there anybody in there?
Is anybody bleeding? Is there anyone at home?
Come on, I know you're hiding,
I could hear you screaming
When your neighbors called me on the phone
Listen, I am a physician
and I can handle your condition
Like a magician, if you show me where it hurts

There is no pain you are receding, A distant ships smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves,
your lips move but I cant hear what you're saying
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 cant explain, you would not understand this is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb

Wake up now, pull yourself together
Get out and meet new people
I'm sure they'll understand
Come on, put away the shotgun,
Here have another blue one
Have your fingertips gone numb?

Goodbye, try and see the bright side
Listen to some punk groups
read the news, go out and see some shows

to check out of all their songs. It's a treat ...if one has time.

I imagine I "feel" this album more intensely than most people, as it reflects much of my own life (but not the rock-star bits).

I don't understand what you're asking. :shrug:

what we've been through and then our euphoria over the Obama Election. Health Care battle is beating us down...so many who worked so hard. Some might be wondering...if this is "numbness" to get away for a break or just to dive down so we don't feel anything anymore. Sometimes it's a comfort to know...this has gone on before. I guess that's why I posted. I wasn't trying to get folks down...just to say...it's gone on before. If that makes sense.

at least the vast majority . . . "comfortably numb" indeed . . .

I never cared for the direction they took in the 80s

:hi:

Of course the Final Cut was completely horrid but how can you cut bait on The Wall?

And, figuring going back as far as it did. It's pretty much a "Relic" that needed Archaeologists to Exhume for it's elegance! :shrug:

most won't be able to afford to be comfortable or numb. Distracted and stupid must have come out cheaper.
