It’s the lines that precedes it that hits me…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. All the possibilities you see as a child before Momma puts all her fears into you.
Frank Watkinson Maybe, but yours was inspirational, and that is what really matters. I've made some Floyd covers too, they're in my channel, you may like them as well.
@@Teleausencia when you do a cover you either have to have make it your own, or absolutely nail it, and he has done both with every track Frank chooses!.. Nice comment my friend 👊🏼
Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?) Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home? Come on now I hear you're feeling down Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again Relax I'll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't 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 can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb I have become comfortably numb Okay (okay, okay, okay) Just a little pinprick There'll be no more, ah But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying 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
You didn't just sing this song. You felt it, bled it. And your audience didn't just listen to it. We lived it. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Hes so warm and wonderful, and secretly I think the pains of his life come thru in the sadness of his voice, no matter how gracefully and full of class taste and style he tries to hide it. I start my everyday with this warm wonderful loving voice, he makes me laugh, cry, but most of all he allows me too fully embrace the fullness of my life, without ever knowing how deeply he touches all of us. Sorry it was long, rock on mate, so much love from Oklahoma yall 🤗🙏💓🤘👅🤘👅🎶💓
I love pink floyd. I’ve listened to many covers from choirs to buskers. This is by far the best I’ve ever heard. Roger and David would love this. Practically perfect in every way!! ❤️
I just stumbled across this channel not to long ago. An I got to say the passion this man puts in to his covers are inspirational. I've been playing guitar and singing for over 30 years now. I can only hope to have half the passion he has when I'm his age. Simply amazing. 👏 🤘😆🤘
You totally deserve a personal music album made for you. And the bustle and hustle world we live in indeed needs your music...So peaceful and elegantly calm. Your sining voice reminds me of Leonard Cohen. Many songs you covered are my all time favorites, and the world needs to be reminded of them all for those great music gem existing. Please do not stop to share your beautiful talent. Love from Taiwan :)
I love this man. I cannot stop listening. Its easy to try and mimic and copy someone. It takes true talent to be yourself in this world. Thats what we got here.
I think you would put Pink Floyd in a trance.And they would be comfortably numb. I know search for your videos. You are a real talent.Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Mate, i am a lifelong Pink Floyd fan and this has been my favourite song since i was 8! This poped on my feed and i clicked it with dread that i would hear yet another destruction of such a great song. But this was beautiful, thank you for respecting it they way it should be respected and not ripping it apart like so many others have before 🙏🏼💙
Came across you by accident and so happy I did. Sung from the soul by someone who has lived with the soundtrack of Floyd, like myself. Those words have touched his soul, like mine. Such power music has. It's not the pen that is mightier than the sword but time pen and instrument
Comfortably numb is my favorite song of all time and therefore I’m pretty critical of covers. I loved this cover. I’ve never heard of Mr Watkinson, but now I’m a fan. Bravo.
Frank...what a surprise to have this show up on my feed today. Flat out excellent cover of one of my most favorite PF songs. Wishing you a Merry Christmas with thanks for all the entertaining hours you have provided.
Absolutely stunning rendition... pay no attention to the tears in my eyes, they are just the gathering of small sparkling memories your song is charming into being
I just found your page. Your voice has been helping me through a difficult time. Your covers this song and fix you have given me the goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your healing talent to another musician.
My brother and I had a small band we played in, never anything major just something fun to do together with dad and some friends. This was one the songs we used to play often. We always loved the floyd songs we played. I love this version of numb. This sounds great
This is awesome.......I’m sad I’m just now finding these great videos......better late than never. A sincere thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
You hit me right in the feels on this one! This song has always been very close to my heart. I’ve even described it as the song that is my soul. I ABSOLUTELY love your take on it! Thank you again for the smile and for the only positive energy around me right now! ❤️ You are a hero ❤️
This was my little brother's favorite song. He took his own life at the age of 25, and it has been life-changing. Listening to the lyrics the way you sing them hurts, but in a good way, if that makes sense. It makes me feel, and remember him in the good times. Thank you so much. To all those who feel alone and are close to giving up, please don't. I promise you that there are people who care. There are so many resources that can help. Please don't give up. You are strong, and you will make it. You may not be able to see it, now, but one day you will look back and see how far you have come. God Bless, Good Vibes, and hugs to all of you. Thank you for existing.
Frank, I discovered you about an hour ago on this rainy Sunday morning and just may spend the day listening to your magic as it is a healing balm for my heart and soul.
Dear Frank, I have just discovered you and have been listening to your covers and originals for the past 30 mins now, and just wanted to say how much I loved all your performances. Please keep uploading. Also if I may suggest a song, please try Lazarus by Porcupine Tree. Thank you❤️

He's a story teller. He expresses pain as if he wrote the song himself. Beautiful.
Absolutely brilliant! Its a gift!
True
"The child is grown, the dream is gone."
Gets me every time :'(
The more we know, the unhappier we are.
😪😘

So true. I wish i never read bill brysons. A brief history of everything. I wll take the ignorance @@TheLela1222
This is hands down one of the best Pink Floyd covers I have ever heard in my life
@@smilebehappy6102 I'll have to look that up I've never heard of them
@korbyn 1 look what up
Hands down feet down elbows down
Magnifique...voix et guitare génial...bravo Franck...👏👏👍👍
This is, actually, a real cover, and you've done it with feeling and with love for the actual song. Respect!
Thanks ,i sing everything my way but thats because i'll never be able to play it like Floyd!
Frank Watkinson Maybe, but yours was inspirational, and that is what really matters.
I've made some Floyd covers too, they're in my channel, you may like them as well.
@@FrankWatkinson thank you again for such beauty and expressing such vulnerability, beauty and passion, it’s a gift for us to listen too 🙏🏼
@@Teleausencia when you do a cover you either have to have make it your own, or absolutely nail it, and he has done both with every track Frank chooses!..
Nice comment my friend 👊🏼
It was so inspirational for me since I’ve been trying to sing like floyd and was failing each time. 🙏🏻
Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't 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 can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb
Okay (okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more, ah
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
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
This is exactly what a cover should be. Not a copy, but in done in such a way it makes others think it’s your song. This is great
Thanks.
The best covers aren't copies...but done in the coverers own style.
Literally, the only song ever created that 1 million people can do their version on TH-cam and you never get sick of it. Never.
Wonderful voice, sir!
The depth of your voice in this song gives it a level of sadness that is very profound.
Sir, you've won a new die-hard fan today. Please never stop sharing
Samee
facts
I say the same!
One of the best covers of one of the best songs pieces that have been made.
You didn't just sing this song. You felt it, bled it. And your audience didn't just listen to it. We lived it. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
A late nighter... My new habit is to end my day with your music. You are such a wonderful soul Frank
Hes so warm and wonderful, and secretly I think the pains of his life come thru in the sadness of his voice, no matter how gracefully and full of class taste and style he tries to hide it. I start my everyday with this warm wonderful loving voice, he makes me laugh, cry, but most of all he allows me too fully embrace the fullness of my life, without ever knowing how deeply he touches all of us. Sorry it was long, rock on mate, so much love from Oklahoma yall 🤗🙏💓🤘👅🤘👅🎶💓
We NEED Frank right now ❤️
The best covers take a song and turn it into the singer’s own. This is one of those.
I love pink floyd. I’ve listened to many covers from choirs to buskers. This is by far the best I’ve ever heard. Roger and David would love this. Practically perfect in every way!! ❤️
Wow, thanks!
David Gilmour, For the love of God sit down with Frank and just jam. This hurting world needs it..❤️
I just stumbled across this channel not to long ago. An I got to say the passion this man puts in to his covers are inspirational. I've been playing guitar and singing for over 30 years now. I can only hope to have half the passion he has when I'm his age. Simply amazing. 👏 🤘😆🤘
I don't think I've ever seen or heard anybody to feel the lyrics like Frank does. So much emotion.
I really appreciate how well-balanced the guitar is
Let us not ignore how he brings out deep emotion with his fingerstyle playing. Just beautiful and tasteful.
What a spectacular cover, truly the best Pink Floyd cover I've ever heard! Love your soulful covers, absolutely beautiful!
You totally deserve a personal music album made for you. And the bustle and hustle world we live in indeed needs your music...So peaceful and elegantly calm.

❤
I have a few on Spotify etc.. just off you tube.
Yes
Kann ich voll bestätigen, wir als Band spielen dieses Repertoire oft und er bringt es wirklich zart herüber.
Good morning, Mr.Watkinson. It's morning here, in Korea. It's grateful I can start my day with your song. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
One of my favorite Pink Floyd covers. This is a real cover, raw, uncut. Beautiful
I love this man. I cannot stop listening.
Its easy to try and mimic and copy someone. It takes true talent to be yourself in this world. Thats what we got here.
Please never stop making these songs ever. I love you
An emotional version of this song I'd never heard until today. You are fantastic, Frank. I hope to see many more of your videos to come.
Nice version of that song. I like it!
I think you would put Pink Floyd in a trance.And they would be comfortably numb. I know search for your videos. You are a real talent.Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Wow Frank! Anyone got a recording studio?? Get this ledged and album!
Mate, i am a lifelong Pink Floyd fan and this has been my favourite song since i was 8! This poped on my feed and i clicked it with dread that i would hear yet another destruction of such a great song. But this was beautiful, thank you for respecting it they way it should be respected and not ripping it apart like so many others have before 🙏🏼💙
i really enjoy your pink floyd covers they are so stripped down and beautiful
One of my all-time favourite songs; made even better!?!?! Thank you! You always bring out the feels! Please never stop.
All the music I’ve been around, he sings from the heart of his, caused eyes leaks! Shared with many. Absolutely a beautiful artist.
Came across you by accident and so happy I did. Sung from the soul by someone who has lived with the soundtrack of Floyd, like myself.
Those words have touched his soul, like mine. Such power music has. It's not the pen that is mightier than the sword but time pen and instrument
True.
Damn that gives me chills to hear that song that version
Wow Frank. Just saw this video. I have enjoyed many of your posts but I think this is among one of if not the best.👌
Excellent job, handling both Waters' & Gilmours' vocal parts is no easy feat as they're so different. And making it your own.
Pink Floyd is my favourite band. And I love this cover his voice sounds amazing.
Such a great song !!!
My favourite band as well, as well as this being one of my favourite songs. The depth of emotion he put into this rendition was amazing!
Morning or evening, I play one of your songs and I get transported to a place of feeling. Thank you again
This little video has restored my faith in humanity. Just brilliant!👍🙏🏻Thank you.
You’re blowing my mind Frank!
An absolutely great cover of yours. Great on the guitar. sung and interpreted with so much emotion. fantastic :-) greetings from Switzerland
This was so calming ❤
most original comfortably numb cover ever listened to! thanks, Frank! beautiful!
Comfortably numb is my favorite song of all time and therefore I’m pretty critical of covers. I loved this cover. I’ve never heard of Mr Watkinson, but now I’m a fan. Bravo.
This is absolutely amazing!! Simple, just a man and his guitar, but so powerful. I have goosebumps
Damn i love this. You are the real deal man. Probably the best Pink Floyd cover i've heard.
El haber conocido el trabajo de este respetable señor es una de las mejores cosas que me han pasado en este maldito año de mierda.

Frank, maravilloso es lo que haces! Saludos desde Chile! Gracias por compartir tu talento. Un abrazo
As a depressive person, this song hits hard..
Your covers are delighfully emotive. They are simple and raw and get me to feel much more than the originals. EVERYTIME. Thank you. Never stop.
You really sing everything like you wrote it, sir...
@Frank Watkinson. Awesome sir, that's the best cover version I've ever listened to. So much emotion.

I always dreamed of hearing this play by Roger Waters by himself, but this is pretty close to what I have always imagined! Thank you kind sir.
