I sent peace and love to you for the burdens you carry and also to those that read this message. ✌🏼
And the same to you as well. Have a brilliant holiday everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing more Pink floyd reactions. ✌.
@@anthonymichel4660 👍
Right back at you 😊
Now if everyone could just open their minds, and If I may quote Pink floyd together we stand, Divided we fall.. 🐖.
@@anthonymichel4660 .... well they did use that line... but it was Christ that said it originally : )
"Did you guys suddenly start feeling happier?"
Ninety seconds later she's wiping tears from her eyes.
Welcome to the experience that is Pink Floyd.
HEY FRIEND WHAT YOUR. F E E L I N G I FELT 30 YEARS AGO . HEY YOUR GOOD . THE TRIP IS SAFE. SHINE SOME LIGHT ON THE DARK SIDE. THEY WERE AHEAD IF THERE TIME. WITH. A DEEP MESSAGE. MUSIC IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE LISTEN. TO THE UNIVERSE SPEAKING TO YOU THRU POSITIVE MUSIC AND BECOME COMFORTABLE IN THESE TIMES OF HARDSHIP . PEACE MY FRIEND.
And most of the people that experienced Pink Floyd back in the 60's were experiencing something else: LSD.
"Well Said".,,
happy memories .. but sad stories
Im sure she knows that the meaning of the song is sadness and the "pin prick" is instant happiness!
Gilmour’s second solo is one of mankind’s greatest achievements.
No one can make a guitar weep like him.
The 2nd solo at the Live8 concert may be the greatest ever - makes every nerve ending in me light up and then my eyes just rain tears...
Amen to that.
Very well put.
it was sung by Roger Waters Dave Gillmore was keyboard on 'Darkside of the moon'
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.
Nope, Waters gave an interview where talks about this song specifically. He was ill and the company "doctor" gave him a shot of something to allow him to keep the concert on tract. This song is about that experience.
@@davidmiller9485 the song is actually about any way the listener envisions it. That’s the beauty of music. He always explains his songs simply leaving it open. But like all Pink Floyd songs there is a very deep meaning about the mechanics in life and the powers at the helm.
@@kmiller1341 nice theory but he's already pointed out the meaning behind the song in an vid on TH-cam.
@@davidmiller9485 cool. I know what he said. Some have an ability to read between the lines.
@@davidmiller9485 Roger never writes with one straightforward meaning. His lyrics are written in a brilliant way that are completely open to interpretation.
Heard this song a million times .. still brought tears to my eyes
Every damn time!
Random crying while listening to Floyd, Perfectly normal.
I’m crying watching her cry!
Still makes me cry after 40 or so years.
@@brianwilson4756 I'm not crying, you're crying!
I’m crying
Completely normal phenomenon
You don't listen to Pink Floyd. You experience Pink Floyd.
Marry me now....your perfect!😜
Yes yes, very much so.
And she didn't even get into "You Cannot Reach Me Now" territory.
Pink Floyd IS!
You put into words what I was thinking! Yes! Exactly about Pink Floyd!
Ya, the reason you get "happier" is that the song shifts from Bminor (the "hello" part) to Dmajor ("there is no pain"). This song does this a few times. Brilliant.
And if you want to delve deeper, the reason the music is structure this way is because it is parallels the high or rush you get when taking drugs that make you feel a brief ecstasy, only to be dropped down again in dispair. They do it quite effectively in this song. This is why Pink Floyd's music goes way deeper than many people realize.
I'm 67 and this still brings me to tears. Soul searching mixed with extreme musical pleasure.
Me too
You don’t just listen to Pink Floyd. You experience Pink Floyd. “The child has grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.”
I can relate to those sentences in more than anyone knows.
She did right by listening to the song with headphones
That made me smile, in a good way.
How about " no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"
@@thomasjeffries9608 yeah Honey.
"The child is grown - the dream is gone."
That one gets me now as I'm getting older.
Its the truth for all but the few of us.
The child may have grown, but remember, he is still there.
Yup. Its got dark in my brain
Y, try listening to Time now when you're older. Scarry stuff
@@aleksilic79 So true...!
Legend says that David Gilmour doesn’t use an amplifier, he plugs his guitar directly into his soul. 🤘🏼🎸
My favorite guitar player.
He'll yeh
Brilliant comment
Imagine this being first time you heard this song. When you've listened to this your whole life you forget that there are millions of people that haven't experienced this and millions of people in the future who will experience this for the first time and on and on...long after I'm gone, forever.
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 ❤️
I’m so glad to hear that for you I hope nothing but abundance and peace for many more years to come. If you don’t mind me asking how did you overcome something you just couldn’t seem to get away from, I’m trying something like that myself and I keep relapsing.
Alcoholic...still drinking... can't see a way out yet. Ya'll keep fighting the good fight
One Day at A Time my friend! I've been in recovery from the demon of heroin among other drugs, but H is what really took hold, for 2 years. I was as low as a person could get. I'm in sober living and doing better now, but being an adult sober is so challenging as hell! Keep up the good work just for today, and God Bless!🙏
🙏 so happy you made it out
Been fighting opiate addiction all my adult life.. actually I'm sick today waiting while I'm waiting on the pill man. Thank u for the hope!
I think seeing someone moved to tears through music is one of the most beautiful things in this life.
Indeed.
100% music is thee absolute best thing in this world. Without one single doubt
Nirvana man who sold the world the violen makes you cry
@@danieladams8085 what makes that song better is that David Bowie wrote it.
Yep. I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I watch this video: th-cam.com/video/LFxOaDeJmXk/w-d-xo.html
I envy you your first time hearing this piece of brilliance. Watching you respond had me bawling. God, those guitar solos are absolutely soul-wrenching masterpieces.
One of the best songs ever created from a group that there is no parallel. Nothing sounds like Floyd, nothing ever will. Music perfection.
There is not one note on this track that could be improved upon.
It is perfection.
It will never age.
That could be said for most of that album, in my opinion.
And that is why Chris, I have listened to this album at least 5 times a week ever since it was released in the UK. Never, ever will I tire of it.
Gilmour's solos on this track are friggin awesome. This is by far one of my favorite songs and I regret not getting to see Pink Floyd in my youth.
You are right 1000,000,000 %
Gilmore actually did improve on it twice. The audio recording of the Pulse live album and the companion video of this song from a separate Pulse tour concert take this song to greater heights.
This is what the birth of a Pink Floyd fan looks like.
Fantastically said, the birth of a Pink Floyd fan. Emotional to watch. Helps me go deep into my soul and see where it needs tender care.
PF has birthed a lot of fans over the decades . . .
Done the same to me the first time, and ever other time I've listened to this over the decades
Beat reaction video ever. Soulful
I'm 49, on the precipice of 50. My dad facilitated an awesome "music room" extension to our house when I was a teenager. He bought really expensive HiFi equipment that made listening to well-produced albums amazing. I came home after exhausting exams and assignments and melted into this album. I fell asleep ... awoke to this music ad infinitum (oh ... look ... Latin!!!). Damn this album was profound and life altering.
"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
I'm sure you know this, but for other people reading, D major is also the relative major of B minor (both keys use all the same notes and chords), so it's a seamless transition between moods.
Sorry but there are no « happy »or « sad » keys, the emotion is set by the chord progression, the tension and solo
It's absolutely intentional. He's jonesing and then he's high. Major and minor keys are used with such skill in this song that even what's presented straight up to us is given with such nuance that we get that "Aaaaahhh" moment.
Ive never seen sombody explain that in words before,,, always been curious about the magic of this song and godly combinations of keys and pitches
@@mayuva well there is, that is if you’re talking judging by how pretty much everyone finds major chords happy and minor chords sad. I would say that the chord progression is more important to why something feels happier, but the key is also a huge factor
Best guitar solo, Ever.
David got the talent and genius in the genes I got hair.
Stairway to heaven
@@chinelo1048 nope
@@STE_FAN999 yes
@@chinelo1048 this is the best, there's no doubt.

@@kiwisaraphim6622 Repeat pls!
I wish I could hear the album from start to end again for the first time
I'd ask for young Stevie Nicks in love with me. Yeah.

That’s phenomenal. If only...
the last time I saw my Dad, he was on his death bed and dying of cancer, he whispered something to me, and I had to move nearer to hear, "your lips move but I cant hear what you're saying "...He said God bless you son....Im comfortably numb with that
made my eyes sweat
Lost my Dad to Cancer a few years ago...And this song reminds me of the final days with the high dosages of Morphine. Also the first time I heard this song was with him...he was a huge fan.
My dad just passed away from cancer so this one hits close to home for me
I feel your pain. I too lost my dad. It was COVID related. My last image of him, besides his viewing, was in a room with about 4 or 5 doctors frantically working on him. They worked on him for hours that day. Finally, after he had coded 5 times, they finally let him go.
It was about a month after that I finally felt this comfortable numbness. It’s so hard... even today. But I have a sense of acceptance that makes it easier.
I miss you dad ...
@@toons124 So sorry for your loss.
"All of a sudden, I had thoughts about my life and things that have happened...."
Welcome to Pink Floyd
I always get goosebumps when I hear this. Beautiful song from an extraordinary album
There isn’t a speaker on this damn planet that can play the song loud enough
bang olufsen
There is if you want to be able to hear anything else afterwards.
Until we can induce sound directly to our auditory nerves it will always be a bad idea to 'enjoy' music by blasting it as loud as possible.
Standing in front, at close proximity, to a PA system's loudspeakers at concert levels might make you rethink about hearing anything "loud enough" lol. But i guess you just said that as an expression, not in a literal sense. :)
I have a 1500watt samsung system in my house and when I enjoy pink floyd so do my neighbors. It I like it because it does play it "loud" but it really gives it a sonic magnitude that you feel inside your chest and the center of your skull just as much as hear it audibly.
Watching you listen to that song for the first time was magic. You felt what we all felt when we heard it for the first time 40 years ago.
I've never understood how Pink Floyd could put into music what most of us can't put into words. They truly are masters of the craft!
My father had an illegal copies (becaus of communism) of many rock bands. But he was proud of his PinkFloyd tapes. He did not understand a single word but He cried everytime when he listened them. He always told me, they are not musicans, they are an artists and try to tell something to us. He passed away 3y ago, and he was damn right. They are special.
this is one of the best comment i've ever read about Pink Floyd, greatt!!!!!
@@Je1imanek fuck yea great story man, he out live communism in his country then?
@@bailechuind6194 nope..30years of freedom:) communism is coming back from west :/
@@Je1imanek i know but we know the game now at least and the east wont fall into the bullshit again i hope.
When you said, "did you guys just get instantly happier?" At that moment I got shivvers and goosebumps all over. So powerful.
Check out Rick Beato's breakdown of this song, he isolates some of the individual tracks of this song. It's really amazing! ✌🏼
Rick is a god, love his reviews
Yes, Rick's great at explaining what went into it musically and how it works.
Yes that was definitely bad ass
Absolutely agree!
I just watched it today, just watching Rick's expressions listening to it made my day
my 14 year old is listening to Pink Floyd and I have never been prouder. I am a 70's kid, we had the best music ever!
I was there too: Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Simon and Garfunkel, John Lennon - so much genius in that era. My daughter plays me music and I say, you think that is music?
HAH brilliant!! my 5 yr old first watch of the day currently is Adam Ant - stand and deliver, Tenpole tudor and Madness Our house
Guess you know how I felt when a 14-year-old student of mine said her favourite guitarist of all time was David Gilmour.
I say it all the time, I am so glad I raised my kids to listen to and appreciate all genre's of music.
@@landarchconcepts420 There's still great music being made today. Your daughter just listens to garbage.
Pink Flyod is as relevant today as they were back in the 70's. I still find meaning in their music, 40 years and counting
let's face it: it's an objective truth that this is one of the greatest rock bands all time. it's not up for debate.
That is VERY true. Been listening to Pink Floyd for most of my life now, and it never gets dated.
Pink floyd is eternal and timeless. In the future it will become one of the greatest achievements of mankind, not over-exaggerating
Classics are in deed timeless.
The song is about doing Heroin before a performance.
brought tears to my eyes watching her be moved by this song... it hits home to anyone who's experienced depression.
That makes you cry? Try Comfortably Numb, Live in Pompeii. The guitar solo lasts 10 mins and is transcendent.
For me, the best one is from the "Pulse" concert. The phrasing, where it goes high, the nuances... haven't found anything better out there.
Every concert they do is a banger. They are the epitome of greatness.
I appreciate that many find Pulse to be the best version, and it is magnificent, but there is something about the Pompeii version that really gets to me. That guitar solo speaks to my very soul. Transcendent is the perfect word
Thank you for the referral, don't know how I hadn't found this version, awesome!
Pulse: Hold my beer…
The very best thing about that song is, That feeling you get listening to it, NEVER GOES AWAY.
❤❤❤
@@nikkisantos9530 looking on TH-cam at PRIESTS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
Amen brother!!
THIS
This is a really ironic statement, the song is about drug use and the band’s struggle with it. There are metaphors for cocaine, heroine, and more.
Years of heroin abuse and the pain that can't be put in to words. Clean 6 years now!! This is one of the songs I can feel in my soul!! It reminds me, I can feel again.
Fuck yeah bro. I got 19 months ✊✊
Hells yeah!! March 21st 2021 will be my 5 year mark!
nothin in this world makes me happier than ppl celebrating overcoming addiction blessings guys probably the only time i feel something for someone
Stay strong bro 💪
Congratulations, I'm glad you're still here to listen to this masterpiece
Baby girl the wall is a mixed emotion album. The razor sharp of David Gilmore's blues is so intense. I have studied this L P for years.
I love how this song can strongly connect with a lot of ppl going through different situations
Thats my feeling about that song. I ve experienced some R Waters concerts and even one of the PF and it was amazing to see and feel how people "get in" that emotion of the song being their history song and/or their emotional story !
Don't *EVER* be afraid of emotion while listening to music. Pink Floyd can *LITERALLY* make grown and Hard men cry...
Facts
very true
Yeah I know!
it does indeed
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.
I get the chills every time i listen to this song. “Pink Floyd was for people who use psychedelics but you don’t have to be on psychedelics to feel their music”
🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🤤😜☺️😂🤣😁😜
You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, you need Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs.
Just a bit of cannabis is lovely listening to the entire Dark Side of the Moon sitting either alone or with friends in the dark and on a good sound system. Transcendental.
Not in this song. Just a little pin prick (Heroin). Which made him a little sick, yet comfortably numb.
I was a teenager in the 70's and we would listen to Pink Floyd along with others like Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull etc at parties on Friday and Saturday nights with SNL on the tv with the sound off, all smoking weed, which was the norm in the 60's and 70's. 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.
"There is no pain, you are receding; a distant ship's smoke on the horizon" ❤️😭
I've heard this song a million times. It's my favorite all time guitar solo. But watching this with you, with your facial expressions and eyes watering up, was like experiencing it for the first time all over again. Still magical. Love your insight into the meaning. Peace!
Agreed. I feel privileged that she was willing to share her immediate empathetic and very insightful response to this all time classic.
I think she also just heard the greatest guitar solo of all time.
Without a doubt
False. The solo from “Mother” is superior. Simple and beautiful.
@@kenmills1611 oh hell man, maybe can't fight ya
I guess my point is I like prog metal, Steve Vai complicatiom, and Floyd is up there
Quite possibly. I cant disagree.
And that is exactly how everyone should react to this piece of genius.
Absolutely ❤️
Piece of glory*
I love that the music moved you. You should really listen to all of The Wall in order, it's a story.
And the story is for all to see in. The Wall movie.
The music alternates between melancholy and euphoria. I love it!
Wish u were here......
Gilmour’s first guitar solo is an exquisite beauty, and his second solo is a straight-up face melter.
That's the start of the bad trip in "The Wall".
Amen
Listen to Dave Gilmour's comfortably numb live in pompeii it will blow your mind.
It's quite possibly the greatest guitar solo in rock history. Live in Pompeii is incredible.
You got that right. One of the best.
My grandpa loved this song, and it was the last song he ever listened to, we played it for him and he smiled as the light left. This song means a lot to me and my family, it always brings me to tears and humbles me. We all have that one song, the song that takes it away, the stress and pain of life, and allows you to become, comfortably numb
Wow..... 🥺🙏🤙
my best friend loved this band, this song as well. great, moving music...
I can't think of a better way to go. Sorry for your loss.
WTH? Do you even know what this song is about? It's about doing heroin before a performance. This brings you to tears with your family?
@@michaelwainscott2633 its all interpitation
On the list of 10 greatest guitar solos ever this song has two of them.
Young lady, you have a habit of playing songs from my youth. I played piano for Pink Floyd on this and other arrangements starting in about 1972 when I was a concert pianist with the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra. This one brought the entire concert back in my mind. Thanks.
TALL order!!
“The child is grown, the dream is gone” I remember hearing that line for the first time when I was about 12 and it breaking my heart. It still does to this day.
The lyrics hit you at your core. Undeniable.
I'm 15 and these lyrics motivate me not to give up on my dream. Being a youtuber 😌
@@alfiepilla8677 you have my sub...guys get this dude to 1000 subs!
Same. I was 12. I'm crying even now. Still chills me to the bones.
As does "The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say..." Which I've instructed, shall be my epitaph.
I was a young Marine in the early 80s. I thought I was unloved and unlovable. I would listen to this song in bed with headphones. Made it through the night and started another day. Sometimes being comfortably numb helps get through dark seasons in life. But strive to get back on your feet and live to the fullest.
Im a somewhat young Marine now, just signed for my second enlistment! Pink floyd has helped me through some seriously tough times in my 26 years of living. Semper Fi my brother, and happy belated 245th 🇺🇸
No one is unlovable. You are beautiful. Thank you for your service Brother.
Thank you for your service.
@@christopheraleman4959 thank you for your bravery .
With you Mate
I lost my beautiful husband after 18 years he was this smooth hippy & he loved this music (his era) I lay on our bed in the middle of the night having cried till I could cry no more praying to become comfortably numb till the pain got bearable
I'm sorry for your unbearable loss. I hope you have good people to talk with, who won't mind you having a cry down the phone. With those tears you are filling the footprints of love.
A loss has made me comfortably numb, the loss of my brother, to cancer...and this song reopens the wound!
It's amazing how these younger generations are just now discovering this timeless music.
Especially with how easy it is to have any album in your hands instantly
It's brilliant to watch wish I could hear all these songs for the first time again to remember how good it felt
26 years old... and Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands.
Makes me feel so luck my dad introduced me to pink floyd at an early age, im 21 now and the the music I've discovered since pink floyd is amazing. Floyd will always rock my world.
@@CHETLER Also listen to Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple: "Unholy trinity" of 70s & 80s. There's no better music.
The child has grown, the dream is gone.
That line chokes me up. Every time. I have tears on my cheeks.
I hear you loud and clear. It's cool. Big hugs my friend.

That's one of the best guitar solos of rock history. So much feeling. But, when you ser it live, Gilmour and his Strato deliverying so much energy and feelings on stage, you just fly.
You know it a badass song when the guitar solo can bring tears.
you got that right
We 'BOOMERS" had the BEST music compared to the last 20+ years.
Pink Floyds guitar strings resonate with my heart strings
Back when music was music. Damn straight.
I was intently watching her emotional ride, from a brief happy place and then seeing her, as the musical darkness descended, wiping a tear from her eye, transfixed and deeply moved without consciously grasping why, my eyes began leaking and i only wiped my face after it was over, so enthralled i was. The most moving song reaction i have witnessed.
Loved this reaction video. I lost my first child when he was 5 1/2 months old. This was over 30 years ago. I wouldn’t call it “comfortably”, but numb is how I, pretty much, move through the world. Music was, and is, the best way I had to deal with it. Looking for him in every song.
He’s right there in your heart 😪
What makes Pink Floyd great is truth put to words with no note or sentence wasted. It is neither flowery or pompous; it is simple and elegant poetry.
This band has taken millions of people on journeys inside their own minds and souls. I am glad you enjoyed it. BTW they have an amazing catalog of music.
Best listened to, lying in the dark with headphones on. Especially the album Dark Side of the moon.
@@Gort-Marvin0Martian I'm not really into smoking but add a joint or 2 and you just blasted off into the 6th dimension. Pink Floyd is an experience that most of us wish we could experience for the first time again..
Yeah and I had a 16-year-old kid tell me a while back in 30 years you wouldn't even hear about Pink Floyd I beg to differ!
Give shine on You crazy diamond to try next!
@@jaybuzz4071 that kid was an idiot... Pink Floyd is one of the few bands I'd say will probably stick around for centuries.. as long as the human condition exists.. there will be someone crying while listening to Wish you Were Here.. or The Great Gig in the Sky.. no words to that song but they just.... plugged the auxiliary directly into your emotions... can make a grown man cry..
It is so touching to see a great song still being appreciated and understood.
Facts!
A hundred years from now, people will still listen to Pink Floyd!
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.
4:22 "I KNOW I HAVE TO TALK......" Your expressions say it all. That's what I love about her, she really has a beautiful heart.
If this lady's reaction is real this song changed the way she looks at life. That is beautiful.

@@danaoneal5987 yeah, Syd Barrett their friend and original frontman.
@@ThurstonThorntonIII thank you , i thought that was it but wasn't sure!

@@Rex-dk1rx Well, a doctor gave a drug to make him "perform" even though he mourned a breakdown of a relationship... He was despondent, still the show HAD TO go on... so (here is something to "get you through the show")

Some people are too sensitive for the harshness of life...
I'm 50 years old.
Been hearing this song since it came out.
Still brings tears to my eyes.
I guess what brought on that feeling was a realization that I, alone, can do nothing to change this.
And there aren't enough people who are willing to put in the effort.
5 years ago I was in hospital after major surgery. On strong painkillers, listening to the wall at 3am, I feel I finally understood this song.
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.
She’s now on her pink floyd journey😎❤️
Beautiful
Blessings of chance purchased with good karma.
Lmao
I love seeing how music effects people. One lyric may mean nothing to one person but trigger something very deep in another person. It’s the beauty of music!!
Exactly
Indeed!
This is so true this reminded me of a review for the book pet semetary from Stephen king. According to the author it was his most horrifying book every written and didn't even want to publish it. So the review said that its book will not affect people that have not lost someone or something they loved very much or was very close to them but will deeply scare or cause an emotion to those who did.
Everyone should have this album and play it until they understand each song. A true classic. This was released in 1973 and so new today
from The Wall 1979
The guitar solos are considered sublime by all players. Can’t get any better. Makes us all humble. Gilmour is a master.
The second I heard, “Did you guys just kind of get happier?”, my first thought was, “Well, sadly that’s not gonna last with this song”.
Yeah, not really a happy song.
@@denali_coug6955 yeah, but... very soaring passages at times, which is what she was responding to at first.
C’mon we all knew the emotional roller coaster that PF was gonna take her on.
But so perceptive...it was just a fleeting glimpse...
Yeah her crying before she hits the 2nd verse, ohhhh jeeeezzzz
Gilmour's second solo is the greatest couple of moments in recorded music history.
His guitar speaks to the soul, while the lyrics speak to the heart and mind. It's why it is so hard to talk coherently about this song, it touches something beyond language.
The story this entire album tells is a landmark in artistic history.
Agree. Some of the live performances from Gilmour in the last 15-20 years have been even more transcendent.
David's guitar solo on this song has been ranked as #4 on All Time Guitar solos list by Rolling Stone magazine. Such creative musician-ship. Wish I had seen him live. :(
I saw Roger Waters present The Wall in Los Angeles a number of years ago. Felt so sorry for the guitarist who was relegated to attempting to recreate Gilmour's magic. Tough gig.
This song will run you through the emotional gamut. Every feel in your soul that words can't express is wrung out and hung in the sun.
Correct
She gets it and now understands what we all know. Lady has great taste! I still get chills after 41 years hearing this song.
The song itself is a masterpiece but sometimes all you need is for David Gilmour's guitar to take you for an incredible ride.
@John James But admit it - you'd kill to be able to play so "weak".
@John James I get where you're going...Richard Wright created the atmosphere/environment for everyone else to play in...but come on man! :)
VERY few can make the guitar sing like he can
Goose bumps-were it...
“Did you guys just went instantly happy, or is it just me?”
Give it a bit. You’re about to get really sad when it hits.
indeed!!
Exactly :). Actually, if you watch the movie associated to "The Wall", it's about suicide. But Sushi feels it's real depth just a few seconds later, I believe... and it hits her with full strength.
*its
Kinda like what the song is about lol.
right
Gilmour's voice is one of the most soothing in music, especially in this era.......and the guitar work is one in ten thousands years amazing.....
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...
the point of this song is to connect with everybody who has encountered shit in their lives but found the strength to pull through
I thought it was about shooting dope and escaping pain.
@@williammartin5569 Honestly as far as I'm concerned both things can be true. In the context of the album, sure it's about drugs, but if it's helped people find strength to keep going, who are we to argue?
@@williammartin5569 not at all. The entire album is about the walls that we build around ourselves to prevent us from being hurt, mentally or physically. In the song, the Dr.'s administer the numbing pain meds to get the character, Pink through his performance.. He is utterly along in his mind.
i don't feel that. I see it as his attempt to express how he has dealt with his pain by numbing with drugs, and his pain is rooted in a sense of lost hope, and now he is comfortable only in his numbness.
@@JimPark-63 I love that your the only one who had the right explanation and everybody else just made their own assumptions that had nothing to do with the character Pink, and the wall built around him. You need more likes haha
I broke my neck in 2007 after an accident and I'm paralysed from the neck down and mechanically ventilated 24/7. After struggles with depression coming to terms with what I have lost I am now #ComfortablyNumb in the respect that I appreciate everything I still have to live for and am free of bitterness and regret. Music has a huge part to play, including the lessons of Pink Floyd. Massive respect to you Sushi. Your willingness to emotionally connect with music of all genres is a gift, thank you for sharing it with us!
@Wizard Lords Voice recognition software (Dragon NaturallySpeaking). I have complete control of my computer and phone, most things are actually quicker than before. I can complete a degree in psychology, I just can't wipe my own arse :-)
@Wizard Lords Do you mean software glitches or mistakes in recognition?
Software is fairly reliable but I have had some serious cringe moments when I've sent messages or emails with mistakes in them. I once told my sister "I want to meet for sex". Thankfully she knew I meant "six"!
@Wizard Lords If you are interested in what happened, my story… th-cam.com/video/WxkUND6E7i0/w-d-xo.html
Very inspiring Steven, thank you! I wish you the best!
@@TheTurdEye I appreciate that. Thank you for the kind of message
What an incredibly heartwarming video you have posted my lovely Toosushi2 to one of my favourite songs. Going through incredibly dark times (like everyone else 2020/2021) but you made me smile. Thank you 🙏❤🙏
Ecstatic to see such a raw emotional reaction to one of our generation’s masterpieces. There are many many more. Please continue to explore the music of the 70’s and 80’s. It was truly ground breaking.
The gift that Pink Floyd give, that most other bands don't, is the ability to make you think...reflect on your own life. That's why they are the best 😁
💯%
Incredible!! That's why they'll always be my favorite band.
This is what's missing from the music of today when the instrumentals can take you to a place the lyrics can not! It gives you a feeling that you can't put to words.
Very well said, Greetings from Mexico.
Hey look up "Gravity" by john mayer. The man can solo very well and it makes you feel things.
@@gabrielguerrero7296 Thank you for this Masterpiece, Greetings from Latin America...
Kendrick Lamar makes me feel like that. He's today.
Truth
Literally some of the best music ever recorded. His lead guitar work is amazing. Some people don't know that he did not use his famous Stratocaster on these recordings. He used a P90 equipped goldtop Les Paul.
David Gilmour arguably the best guitarist of all time ! Not flashy ! no attitude ! He makes the guitar sing !
You know when a certain piece of music brings tears to your eyes it's special ❤
Theres something beyond beautiful about watching another human experiencing Floyd for the first time and really getting it!
Indeed, there is.
Indeed
I had cancer as a child 8yo and it always reminds me of the injections and questions the Doctors would ask me. I beat it now 48!!. Thank you for listening to this classic. X
Keep fighting! Well done!
Good bless youre soul good man
I was the one with the fevers as a child
I'm glad for you man, my family goin through a battle right now,all these little battles,but eventually we will win this war!!
This song makes me feel both sad and comforted at the same time, through my cancer treatment I listened to this alot, along with others including the Velvet undergrounds 'ocean' Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' and many others.
I've just watched this for the first time and I wish I could go back and hear this classic for the first time just like you did. It's from "The Wall" which is inspired by the life of Roger Waters. His paternal grandfather was killed in WW1 without his son ever knowing him, that son was killed in WW2 without his son (Roger) ever knowing him. The emotion in this song comes from there. Best song ever created!
I haven't found too many songs that have hit me on an elemental level. Hearing a sad song after a break up can make you weep, but hearing a song about internal chaos and resignation can shake you to your core and trigger so many emotions at once. Whether you're battling your own personal demons or reflecting on the society that we have become, this song applies. May you find peaceful resolve.
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.
You got that right. I have no words to add.
I'd add that it greatly expresses the power of liberation through all the pain and torture. It's such a powerful solo. No other solo can tell a story like that one.
“Did you guys just get happier?” Yes. The verse is in a minor key and the chorus goes to the major which gives an emotional uplift
That was very interesting man
Lmao thank you for your input I will remember that everytime I listen
Wrong! the chorus goes D Mixolydian not Major that's why you get that chill in your spine! D-Amin-C-G. The Amin was substituted with Amaj as a temporary borrowed chord from the D major scale (Parallel scale).
@@Ahmad-Mounir44 What do you mean wrong? Mixolydian happens to be a major mode.
More to the point, you are incorrect. The chorus doesn’t have an Am in it but an A major - featuring C#. So not Mixolydian anyway... listen to Gilmour’s major solo - pure Ionian.
Sorry. This was much more technical than an answer to “why do I feel happy?”
@@JohnnyCameo No sir! Mixolydian is not a major mode! Mixolydian is its own mode. Or you meant to say that Mixolydian is a major scale with a flattened 7th, in that case I will agree.
@Toosushi Your reaction was pretty much everyone’s reaction to hearing this song the first time. It reaches deep inside you and pulls something out. It’s actually cathartic to see a real actual first reaction, thanks for sharing.
I find myself digging into these Pink Floyd reaction vids. It is just so cool to relive the first time I heard these songs through the eyes of another generation. I’m delighted and touched to see that this majestic music still holds up and resonates with all of you today.
Oddly confirming in a way. Thanks for taking us with you. I enjoyed the ride 😁
That's why i do it. I hate human interaction and have been a hermit for a little over 4 years, but a human still needs some kind of connection and reliving my passed experiences, especially through music, with other people for the first time is very therapeutic. I love being a hermit and could cope without this, but it definitely makes it easier.
I caught COVID-19 In July. I was in a coma with life support, feeding tube, and a ventilator. I felt as though I was oscillating between death and life. I was having bizarre dreams. I was feeling “Comfortably Numb”. This was the first song I have heard that comes close to how I was feeling while I was in my coma.
Glad you got better! You should talk about your dreams.
They’ve found that COVID-19 causes changes in the brain that may be inflammatory responses, but they induce vivid dreams and/or hallucinations. I’m so glad you survived to talk about it. xxx
So glad you recovered!
Thank you for sharing. This is not something we talk about, but I feel such a need to jump into it. Life IS so fleeting, and as far as any of us know, one not to be revisited ever again. How do you feel about “coming back” to it? I am glad you’re here, and just so grateful for these artists who are able to express what words cannot. Beautiful. Stirring. Here’s to living as vividly as we can tolerate, courageously defying the temptation to be “comfortably numb,” and to our highest potential blessed with these human lives 😘💖
I’m glad that you recovered from this horrible virus and you’re here with us to continue enjoying the perfection that is pink floyd. Big love, friend.
All pink floyd's fan getting sweat when they see dark side logo for comfortably numb
Yes we do. Glad you said it.
😱😱😱😱😳😳😳😳😨😨😨🤒🤒🤒
🤘🤘
Yep
YESS
This song has been the perfect song for whatever mood I have ever found myself in. Whether mountain highs or valley lows it hits the spot you need it to hit. The Mona Lisa of music, it follows you wherever you go. Perfection.
