This is truly the key to this song: “The child has grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.” You don't have to be a heroin addict to understand this lyric and empathize with it. In my opinion, the song is about loosing faith in childhood dreams, childhood expectations for the possible and the realization that most of us are mediocre and average, despite the endless possibilities we believe were there for us as children. We go to work, we pay the bills, we are trapped and just not realizing it that we've become comfortably numb and accepting our station in life despite our soul's depression.

I always get goosebumps when I hear this. Beautiful song from an extraordinary album

"All of a sudden, I had thoughts about my life and things that have happened...." Welcome to Pink Floyd

I’m a recovering addict. This song is the epitome of opiate addiction. I was constantly seeking oblivion. “Hello..is there anybody in there. Just nod if you can hear me..” what happens during an opiate overdose. As addicts we were seeking that comfortable, numb, feeling. We weren't raised this way. We are ashamed of our addiction, yet we continue to self sabotage. Such a sad, lonely, misunderstood place to be. At the lowest points in my addiction I had just come to terms with the fact that I was hopeless, helpless and on death’s door. I had made peace with it. The more I used, the more closed off and numb I became. I isolated myself, so I could die in peace and away from everyone who loved me. I was sick and tired, of being sick and tired. I was a horrible disappointment to all of them but I had no self control. “I had become comfortable numb” Grateful to be alive today. 10 years of sobriety. I have a daughter, a spouse and so much to live for. Every time I hear this song, tears stream down my face. It’s a reminder of how life used to be and how lucky I am to have escaped addiction’s filthy grip ❤️

"Did you guys just get instantly happier?" - it could be an intentional rollercoaster... the verses are in Bm which can be considered a "dark" key, leading to a very up-lifting chorus that happens to be in D major, a much more "positive" key... The orchestra and harmonies definitely add to it, making you feel as if you're floating. The choruses are played on something called a high strung guitar which includes an open 9th - so very happy sounding... behind it all you have the orchestra playing these descending "scales" in different octaves, that add motion. Beautiful song

It was very relaxing and fun with all your friends there chatting with the music so loud that you could barely hear each other but you could feel the music clear through your bones and it was amazing. Unfortunately, we all have to grow up and those days have been gone for me since I graduated in 1976. I still do enjoy their music very much.

Many years ago, I drove my car behind a hearse to accompany a childhood friend to his last home. Pink Floyd music filled the cabin. Impossible not to smile and cry at the same time. Their music is so inspiring, beyond all pain. If I had to believe in a God, I'm pretty sure Pink Floyd would be his spokesperson on this Earth.

This is what the birth of a Pink Floyd fan looks like.

Totally agree, I have the same reaction with Dream Theater. "The Spirit Carries On" is a classic example. I am a drummer, I have played in various flavors of metal bands throughout my life, I have MANY influences, including Rush, Yes, Dream Theater, Genesis, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Black Sabbath/Ozzy, and of course Pink Floyd., and the list could go on and on. I always value something that I hear, that touches my heart and soul in a meaningful way. Sometimes I hear a song, and read the lyrics and wonder, why didn't I write that? I tend to be the one that writes lyrics in whatever band I might find myself in. Not so much these days, 66 years old, looking to move to Central America to escape the American political insanity, perhaps rejoin a musical community on the other end. Maybe a bit of a "reboot" of my life. I don't really feel all that "old", just matured like a vintage wine, maybe ready to be enjoyed again.

If you don't feel emotion listening to Comfortably Numb, you are emotionally numb :) One of my all time favorites.

Years ago I use to listen to this song when I was Pill sick. I thank God for my sobriety now and for Pink Floyd for helping me get thru it.

This was the soundtrack for my 4 years in highschool in the mid to late 90s. Late night pot cruises, friends gathering, isolated in my bedroom crying over heartache. Pink Floyd is magical. Once you're Floyded there is no coming back.

I do think about that now, in my later years. I was filled with fear and regret most of my life, and this song was a bit of a salve for those feelings all these years -- until I was diagnosed with GAD. And got at least some pharmaceutical treatment for it. Then I was able to put it all together. All my life I knew I suffered from anxiety, but not depression -- not until I was placed on Zoloft and it cleared my head. Now I realized that I'd been suffering from depression almost my entire life, and now "Comfortably Numb" has become especially poignant. My only remaining regret is that I didn't know about this sooner in life, otherwise it might have turned out substantially more fulfilling. Alas, "The child is grown, the dream is gone;" but I'm in a good place now and trying to make the best of my remaining years on earth. All in all, it has been a good life, and I can look to the future now with a clear head. Now when I listen to "Comfortably Numb" I can just ride the emotion throughout the entire piece and come out the other end just going "Wow." Pink Floyd is perhaps the best prog rock band to come out of the 70s.

I was 14 years old 1979 when I took my bike down to the record store and bought the Wall album. I still play that album from time to time , I am 55 years old now and still love this.. love to see such a young woman being so emotional when she listen, music moves us all in different ways..

That was so incredible and moving to watch... one of the most influential songs from when I was like 10 years old; a song and album I grew up with through my teens... one that still piques emotions, memories, feelings to this day... and to see someone from a much younger generation hear this for the first time... and be so visibly moved and effected by this track, is truly something crazy to behold.... Waters and Gilmore... absolute legends.So many incredibly talented and gifted musicians and song writers from this truly momentous period in musical history... and so pleasing their talent, craft and art is still finding an audience with today's younger generations. Class is class.... and class is timeless.

Couldn't help get get tearful when I watched this. This from from the Wall album and it's such an emotional rollercoaster. Highly recommend it.

David Gilmour 2nd solo is his soul expressing itself. You can feel that it is almost a tortured soul, you can feel the pain, but amazingly, you can feel the liberation. There is simply nothing deeper in the human experience, that is why it makes everybody cry.

What still amazes and touches me about this song is the absolute and truly emotional effect that it continues to have on me and every person that I watch, listening to it for their very first time. From the initial and flowing sense of euphoria when you feel and hear, "there is no pain, you are receiving me" to the more intimate and personal, "when I was a child I had a fever" and "this is not who I am" and then the shift to the darker and more painful "I have become comfortably numb." The range of emotions and expressions are all over the place, but when David Gilmour slips into that haunting solo, following the word "numb" it clicks and the expressions are universal, the tears fill our eyes. I do not know why, but it touches every single one of us in so many deep and different ways. Thank you for letting us watch you listen to and experience an incredibly beautiful song...
