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?
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.
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.
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 TH-cam poi io ti risponderò e quando tu ascolti questo video tu ascolti tutto lo schermo intero e uno grande spettacolo da RENZO STELLINI
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.
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.
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.
KireKilleuse - There is a full version in 2 parts on TH-cam - 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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 :)
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
I saw pink floyd in sydney Aus in 1985 Without roger waters and they where brilliant ... Dave gillmore is a legend . One of the best concerts I've ever seen.
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
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
Look mummy! There's a star destroyer in the sky
Airplane
Look mummy. There’s an airplane up in the sky.
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.
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! )
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?
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.
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^
the greatest band of all times ....
Yes Sir,,,without a doubt.
Absolutely amazing Gift.
Jesus. Still one of the most haunting songs out there...

Joanna Czerpak this is so well written.
Yes,... Deep art
interesting view man, never thought of that befor

Comfortably numb is a perfect example of this for me.
The beginning harmonies are incredible!!
make love, not war. Pink Floyd forever!
amazing vocals
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.
Some of the most beautiful “OooOoohs” in any song. Those harmonies!
42 years ago.
And still we haven’t learnt.
😢
Check out 'The Doomsday Dance' By Robert Nix
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
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.

One of my favourite floyd tunes. Short but that acoustic guitar and harmony jheez
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
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
Highly under appreciated song.
still so perfect
HOLY MOLY. BEAUTIFUL one of my favorite Floyd songs.
This is definitely the best versione in my opinion
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 TH-cam poi io ti risponderò e quando tu ascolti questo video tu ascolti tutto lo schermo intero e uno grande spettacolo da RENZO STELLINI
So do I! This is enormous.
Best Band Ever! !!!!!
So amazing live, so awesome
This song gives me goosebumps.
Holy sound!
The ending transition is so beautiful
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.
Mon grand regret
N'avoir jamais vu les Pink Floyd en concert.
Merveilleuse chanson contre la guerre malheureusement toujours d'actualité
Wow, look how young! A wonderful and haunting song.
Luke skywalker on guitar.
May the Floyd be with you.
+scooby drew Look mummy, there's some Star Wars geeks up in the sky.
+PhantomPanic lol
Whoever...does it matter ?
Sir David Gilmour....
This sounds amazing
living legends..
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.

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!
Who loves david?
Miguel Laborde how the heck is David
who doesn't
Meeeee
@@IsmailKasapoglu aynen ya kim sevmeyebilir ki?!
Dont we all?
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
beautiful song
One of my favorite pink Floyd songs. I think this song is so beautiful
Gives me the chills
1:39 perfect way to get back to b minor
This is THE perfection
a masterpiece, the entire album - simply one of the greatest musical accomplishments in history - this will never leave my collection of albums :)))
*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 !
One of the best
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 TH-cam.
KireKilleuse - There is a full version in 2 parts on TH-cam - 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?
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.
this song in much underappreciated, one of my favorite floyd songs right here :)
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 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
still my favorite song on the wall. completely life-changing, this one
Great song.. great album
el sonido es increible grande Pink Floyd saludos a todos los amantes de la buena musica
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.
I'm gonna have this song played at my funeral, which won't be much longer.
😮 how talented one must be to finger pick this song and sing
Beautiful
Beeautiful & amazing guys
Always Pink Floyd
Beautiful!

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
such a beautiful ending aswell
saw pink floyd live & they were AWESOME!!!
A great song...
A sensação despertada por esta música é emoção pura!
Hauntingly beautiful with great harmony. I am transported.
Beautiful!!
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
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.
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.
I wish it was longer...the song by itself I mean...
extraordinary songwriting..
It would have been amazing to see this in 1980/81. The Wall was the first Floyd album I remember my dad buying.
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
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
wow ! so clean . well done . made my list!
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 ! !
Just one of the best english band. Good memories with their music. Unforgettable.I saw them many times and I don't get tired.
wow, the sound is amazing, great upload, thanks
thanks i didnt see the live performance to that song before pink floyd still the best
amazing post!!!!! thanks
im crying bro
You are surely somebody that likes good music.
Carlos Eduardo do Nascimento Gomes
Definitely.
Masterpiece ❤❤❤
perfect,beatyfull and amazing composition

recorded 35 years ago today
Now its been 37 years
40 years and counting.
40 1/2
A few moments in this song you get Fade to Black mixed with Good Bye Blue Sky. Love both bands.
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 :)
Pink Floyd is one of the greatest bands ever. As far as I’m concerned David is probably one of the greatest musicians ever
Lets all bow our heads for the 58 of those who gave a thumbs down...poor lost souls
The child at the beginning hits me so hard, emotionally. Fantastic song.
The Wall was a mix of weird and fantastic, this short song was beautiful
this song is such a catharsis
I cry with this song is very nice
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

The music was written by Roger in this song.
