This song captured a very dark time in my life, and the lyrics made me aware of my sadness. It pushed me to make positive changes in my life, and save myself.
This song is the antithesis of heroin use. Im just hoping people really get the message of the extreme high and wanting to die lows. I feel like its getting missed here. I mean i get it.
Piper at the Gates of Dawn or Meddle are my personal favorites, but objectively dark side and the wall are their best and absolutely deserve all the mainstream credit they have
I love watching young folks enjoying this music like I have since 1973. I'm 65 now and it got me emotional watching your emotions! Pink Floyd was a perfect blend of rock and blues, or rock and soul!
I’m 46, my husband is 47, we’ve been together since I was 14, he was and still is majorly into Pink Floyd, yes he smoked the stuff, I never did so didn’t listen to this music. I’m just recovering from a hysterectomy and I can tell you this wonderful music is easing my recovery, it’s wonderful
Such a beautiful honest reaction. Thank you for listening through the whole song without stopping it 50 times like most others doing reaction videos. 👍❤
Pig in boots... 1st, anyone that noticed and commented what you did, is not a pig. 2nd, "reaction-ers" that constantly stop the recordings, and run their mouths??? They've almost gotten me to give up reaction videos. 3rd, this lady is a L.A.D.Y! Pure class.
@@murlthesquir LOL! They are! I've raised hogs. They are ridiculously funny. They each have their own personalities. But! Unfortunately for them, we ate 'em.... Everything -- IS -- better with bacon!
"The child has grown, the dream is gone". Every time I hear those lyrics my chest tightens and tears run down my cheeks. Gilmore's guitar solos are so emotional they transport me back to the origins of the most extreme emotions in my childhood. I could tell from your face they were very powerful for you too. Thank you for this reaction.
Your reaction is a joy to see. The changes from the initial WTF is this? look, to the gradual realisation that your in the presence of greatness. The sublety, the quality, the lyrics, the sheer expressiveness and build up of Gilmour's solos are written across your face. At the time of writing this, there were 51K viewers who all knew what was coming and wanted to see it expressed on your face. We were not disappointed
One of my favourite songs of Pink Floyd,s and every time I listen to it , sends shivers through me especially Gilmore's guitar solo,s , thanks for sharing beautiful lady ♥️
Watching a person just listening to a song on TH-cam would be quite boring. However watching a beautiful person experience awesome music and feeling it completely, is a truly rewarding moment. Having watched since her beginning in this journey of learning new music has made the crazy and depressing times I've (and many of us) been forced to go thru in the last year somewhat bearable. Thank you for this Morenkeji 💜
You are so lovely, and your reaction to this song is as beautiful as the song itself, like you were a visual instrument added to Pink Floyd, thank you for allowing the song to be complete before commenting 😊
Ahhhh... The unmistakable "Pink Floyd Look" flowed across your stunning face! You will NEVER be the same, this is music to set your soul free to soar, intertwined in it's ethereal waves. Sincerely, this music is life changing for all of us! I saw their 2nd to last tour in Seattle. Then their final tour up in Vancouver BC. As good as the former was, that final was truly epic, mythic even in scope. Do yourself a favor and rent the Pulse DVD, you'll be glad you did! Can't wait to see all the musical places you explore, be well, be blessed, be happy....always.
The growing popularity of these reaction videos is one of the shining bright lights of an otherwise super heavy 2020 and I thank ANYONE who takes the time to and shows the vulnerability to share their reactions to these songs that have so long been a big part of my life. "The Wall" is a super important and relevant album, as well and this song is just an absolute killer. Glad you found it!
You just witnessed one of the the 3 top guitar solos of all time. Like others have said, the live Pulse version will blow your socks off. Oh, and by the way, I love your reactions. So real and genuine.
Sweetheart, you’ve just been Floyded! 😃🥰 These masters of music play right to your soul. Your emotional reaction was beautiful. Thanks for reacting to my suggestion. You must listen to more of their songs when you can. Love ya.
One thing that makes Comfortably Numb so powerful is that it contrasts extremely sad sections with the extremely happy chorus sections. And then outros into aggressive blues. It forces you to feel all emotions in one song.
Washing my car and listening to Floyd when my elderly (recently widowed) mom came out to join me. The look on her face was priceless. At the end of a song she said "I love The Blues, Who is this?" "Pink Floyd." I replied. I then put my 6 disk player on Random Play and she sat (sometimes softly swaying) listening for an hour. BTW... Morenikeji Taiwo, You are very beautiful.
Why do so many people care about internet numbers? A video's quality does not correlate what so ever to whether or not it has this or that many likes or dislikes.
Hola, acabo de ver tu reaccion al escuchar esta grandiosa cancion, casi te salen lagrimas, cada vez que escucho esta cancion siento una coneccion con mi padre fallecido, a mi hijo le dije que en el dia de mi funeral, deben escuchar esta cancion, saludos desde Chile !
Amazing song, you should react to the live version next. I would also advise listening to the whole album The Wall which this is from. Pink floyd liked to connect their songs in their albums 👌👍
"I can't explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am." To me, this song is about the ease with which people fall into destructive, meaningless patterns of coasting and anesthetization. We know we're taking the easy way out and that realization frustrates us. We think back on the dream of our childhood and the promise of our lives and sometimes feel unfulfilled and disappointed in ourselves. The absolutely explosive guitar solos are the struggle against that darkness, refusing to go meekly. Roger Waters and David Gilmour were speaking for a lot of us.
and the way the verses are like "who gives a shit about your trauma, you need to start moving" only for the scattered thoughts of the chorus to imply "how? how am I supposed to move? just because you told me to? I don't even know what I'm trying to deal with here."
Hi, I'm 52 and a big fan of Pink Floyd. I have listened to Confortably numb hundreds of times, but today, seeing your amazement at listening for the first time, and seeing your emotion, I got excited too. Thanks, greetings from Italy.
I am much, more older than you, and remember when we'd listen to this back in the 70s. We basically imagined a star (singer or musician...but a big star) in his/her dressing room just before a concert is to begin. He/She has probably overdosed on something, and there is a frantic effort to not only revive him/her...but get them ready to go on stage. Listening to some songs from that era...sans the context of the times...it's often difficult to appreciate what was intended for the listener.
I was introduced to Pink Floyd around 1984, In the living room of a good friend. For me, My friend passed away recently and this took me back to that day. Imagining what it was like for him to watch me hear Pink Floyd for the first time.
Such a lovely reaction! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you feel the song! Try ‘Money’ next, trust me, you will LOVE!! A great jam with another one of David Gilmour’s best guitar solos! Cheers lovely! 🔥 - Andy
So glad you enjoyed this song. Pink floyd is one of the greatest bands So many great songs by them. Brings back so many memories from my teenage years. Listen to more of them Bri
Deffo...one of the greatest lyrical & thematic songs of our time...great reaction Morenkeji, mine was similar way back then, just got totally blown away by the whole thing. Thx Floyd
This is what was called album rock. This is an excellent song by itself for sure. But the entire album comes together. You have to turn off the lights lay down and enjoy from start to end
1979...My brother in law invited me over to hear "The Wall" just released, my sister was working.I can see us clear as day sitting in the living room with a few beers (and some other stuff) listening to the magnificent Comfortably numb! We just sat there staring into space..there were no words to indicate we had just hear something timeless! Flash forward to March of this year.....My brother in law ...passed from cancer ....I always think of him when I hear this song! RIP Steve ...and thanks for taking good care of my sister all these years! We'll throw on some PF when I see you next !!!
See you discovering this song is like me discovering it for the first time too! Seeing your face during David Gilmore's brilliant solo I thought "Yes! I feel the same thing!!!". Thanks for sharing!
To listen to Pink Floyd properly I recommend a spare hour lying on the settee with headphones and playing the whole album (The Wall) on a quiet afternoon. Picking individual tracks loses some of the intended experience.
After watching dozens of reactions to this song, I can confirm that your reaction is among the most touching. Even though this song starts in a very strange or surprising way, you don't interrupt the song to comment. Then your face shows micro expressions that show what you feel while listening to the lyrics of this song. Later, we see the muscles of your face fighting the tears that seem about to overflow from your eyelids. That's why more than 229,000 people thank you for sharing this moment with us.
The Live 8 performance, the last ever performance with the classic lineup, is fantastic as well. th-cam.com/video/ikDEHygZzlI/w-d-xo.html But poor Rick was hardly shown. I don't think the director realised he was in the band but thought he was just one of the backing musicians.
@@chrisdawson8767 that’s obviously a joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the first solo was a tottal disaster the worst I’ve ever heard him play , an it dident get any better with the last one , how on earth can you say the o2 one makes the pulse version look tame , the only thing that made it good was that he actually was there with Rodger waters and that’s all
Please make sure to mention UNCUT version of Pulse performance. The version everybody is watching/reacting to : 27M views, 9:52 in length. Uncut version : 217K views, 10:59 in length, and that extra minute + is all guitar finale. It has been suggested that David Gilmour editted it himself, over 'a dodgy note or two', but I feel that a dodgy note or two is what? 2 or 3 secs? And the rest of the minute+? NO. I would rather hear a dodgy note or two and hear that other minute as well. And I do NOT hear any freakin' dodgy notes anyways!!!
After over 40 years of listening to this music I still get chills going up my spine when I hear the first few bars of this song. And it still moves me to tears.
You're on a roll, Mo!... I know you're going to get fans of bands and performers to plead that you do the live version (concert footage) of songs, but from a purely musical standpoint, the studio recording is nearly 100% of the time the best version of a song from any band or performer. If you want to react to VIDEOS of bands and performers, then live (concert footage) is the way to go. If you want to react to MUSIC from bands and performers, then the studio recording is the way to go.
I agree! No discredit to the performances or musicians themselves, but it's a unfortunate truth that for most of these iconic shows, the quality of the recordings and mixing are of no comparison to studio tracks.
The song is an almost Shakespearean/Nietzschean celebration of the tragic view of life. Sad and yet life affirming. The look on your face said it all. There are live versions that you will enjoy.
Um...no. it may make one feel that way because it is composed so well, however there is no "deep meaning" to this tune...it is a lyrically straightforward retelling of an incident Roger had during a gig in Philadelphia around 1977.
Awesome reaction girl...Suggest you do the Live version of this from the Pulse concert 1994 you will hear one of the Greatest guitar solos ever...their stage and lighting show will blow your mind. 💯🔥👌...ohh footnote do not pause final guitar solo. 👍

Had to watch this again... a great pleasure watching a young woman of such great youthful beauty and emotional sensitivity reacting moment by moment to lyrics and musical translations of feelings into sound... thank you for all that you do here! thank you
@@dougoneill7266 okay I’m gonna be the second argumentative person on this post. David Gilmore IS a unique player but not the ONLY one who plays through his soul. :D
Comfortably numb has always been my favorite Pink Floyd song. I loved watching you experience this iconic song for the first time... you should watch the whole movie…
You don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them, just like you did. I watch many PF reactions and honestly, most people simply don't "get it". You obviously did. Also, thanks for not pausing. Listen to the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album...it will literally change your life. ENJOY!!
I'm 62 now and I have lived loved to PF since I was 14 its great to see younger people appreciate the brilliance of this music. PS You are beautiful physically and in spirit.
Watching you experience this song that I have loved for years brought tears to my eyes. You responded with vulnerability to all those parts that you implore someone to just 'get' about the music you love. Thank you for reminding me of the power of music.

@@helmutvogel901 You again? For those unfamiliar with Helmut, he's made it his life's work to direct people to a version that Gilmour himself has rejected.
@@trevorjameson3213 Then follow up with Live at Pompeii - Saucerful of Secrets. (Echoes takes you out there. Saucerful starts you out there and brings you home.)
the album "the wall" is a whole storyline. It is a kid growing up who becomes a musician. The musician becomes a drug addict and detached from his audience. Hence, he is "comfortably numb". The line "can you hear me" shows he is "out of it" and he gets an injection ("just another pinprick") in order to keep going ("can you stand up / that will get you through the show"). In order the understand the lyrics, you need to place it in the context of the whole album. The song "Mother" shows how he grew up with the fears of his mother instilled in him ("mother put all of her fears into you"). The album starts with an airplane coming down (representing his father being killed and growing up with a single mother) and the baby crying representing his birth. The whole album is the life story of Roger Waters (basist and song writer).
That's the magic of Pink Floyd. Put on your headphones. Click play. Then just let the music flow into your mind and carry your soul on a wondrous journey. You should react to Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
I love to see the reaction to the music that I have been Listening my whole life I’m 68 years young and the music and concert I have been to was worth it...... I love MUSIC
I was just going to post the same comment. It's the first thing I noticed. Oh well, at least she's exposing herself to some great classic rock from The Wall.
You were at a loss for words to describe your feelings from this song...and rightly so, yet, your reaction and facial expressions says it all. A masterpiece!, and you are stunning.

This song captured a very dark time in my life, and the lyrics made me aware of my sadness.
It pushed me to make positive changes in my life, and save myself.
Amen to that....i know exactly what you mean i also was in a very bad way and pink floyd helped me get through it believe it or not.
This seemed to be a very personal story of my life. It still is all these years later.
@Jay Von Visger Glad to hear it helped you, and I can totally relate to your comment.
Thanks to all the positive replies I received- I never thought anyone would respond.
I am a very happy man now.
This song is the antithesis of heroin use. Im just hoping people really get the message of the extreme high and wanting to die lows. I feel like its getting missed here. I mean i get it.
As i always say, you don't listen to pink floyd, you experience them. Greatest album ever.
100% agree
Only thing is, this is not on Dark side of the moon. It's a song from The Wall. Weird seeing the wrong album cover lol
@@AgentLemmon The wall is my favourite Album from any genre.
"Obscured By Clouds" is my favorite Pink Floyd album, VERY underrated.
Piper at the Gates of Dawn or Meddle are my personal favorites, but objectively dark side and the wall are their best and absolutely deserve all the mainstream credit they have
I love watching young folks enjoying this music like I have since 1973.
I'm 65 now and it got me emotional watching your emotions!
Pink Floyd was a perfect blend of rock and blues, or rock and soul!
Young uns listening to Floyd always brings a smile to my face I'm The same age as you and have always loved Floyd
yes bro .. this is our youth .. there was wonderful music .. we were lucky that we lived at that time .. hello from russia
Such a beautiful woman that has just discovered Pink Floyd.
She should listen to more.
Nigel. She will.
@@nigelday8693, You're rigth! Gilmour... ;-)
Most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Wish I was 25 years younger. Haha!
@@davidwestendorf7935 Simp
Her face when Dave starts singing - just magic!
Your face when Gilmour sweeps into the first solo, is my face, everytime I hear this song.
The lyrics are charged with emotion and David Gilmour makes his guitar cry and sing.
Makes me cry too, and I am 79 years old.
I’m 46, my husband is 47, we’ve been together since I was 14, he was and still is majorly into Pink Floyd, yes he smoked the stuff, I never did so didn’t listen to this music. I’m just recovering from a hysterectomy and I can tell you this wonderful music is easing my recovery, it’s wonderful

so true.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond". You won't regret it.
Good choice

Beautiful reaction! This song has the two best guitar solos of all time... in the same song no less. Well. In my opinion anyway.
The only thing wrong with the second solo is it isn’t long enough! It will be playing in my head for the rest of my life!
This song doesn't need lyrics, the solos cut through your soul, just as with Morenikeji.
Particularly the live versions... the 94 version of this is a must for all those getting to know Pink Floyd

Pulse is overrated
Momentary Lapse of Reason tour 1987-1989 was much better
This is the best version. The live version it is distorted and hard to hear the lyrics, which is the essence of the song.
JP Sureau. I assume Gary Moore’s end solo from Empty Rooms is also in your top 3. Live in Stockholm 1987 is the best version of all.

look at they're Live Concerts. you will find a live version as its a bit of a signature track now. those were the days
I can only say this beautiful lady makes listening to these greats even better and my wife agrees....
To listen to Pink Floyd properly I recommend a spare hour lying on the settee with headphones and playing the whole album (The Wall) on a quiet afternoon. Picking individual tracks loses some of the intended experience.
Without doubt. I couldn't agree more.
1000% YES!
After watching dozens of reactions to this song, I can confirm that your reaction is among the most touching.
Even though this song starts in a very strange or surprising way, you don't interrupt the song to comment.
Then your face shows micro expressions that show what you feel while listening to the lyrics of this song.
Later, we see the muscles of your face fighting the tears that seem about to overflow from your eyelids.
That's why more than 229,000 people thank you for sharing this moment with us.
On your own watch the Pulse live version of this. The light show is gorgeous and the guitar solo is much longer. You’ll love it. 👍❤️
Try and find the Waters Gilmour version from O2 arena. Makes pulse look tame
"The light show is gorgeous", well, PULSE does stand for Pink's Ultimate Light Show Experience, so yeah, gorgeous.:P
The Live 8 performance, the last ever performance with the classic lineup, is fantastic as well. th-cam.com/video/ikDEHygZzlI/w-d-xo.html But poor Rick was hardly shown. I don't think the director realised he was in the band but thought he was just one of the backing musicians.
@@chrisdawson8767 that’s obviously a joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the first solo was a tottal disaster the worst I’ve ever heard him play , an it dident get any better with the last one , how on earth can you say the o2 one makes the pulse version look tame , the only thing that made it good was that he actually was there with Rodger waters and that’s all
Please make sure to mention UNCUT version of Pulse performance. The version everybody is watching/reacting to : 27M views, 9:52 in length. Uncut version : 217K views, 10:59 in length, and that extra minute + is all guitar finale. It has been suggested that David Gilmour editted it himself, over 'a dodgy note or two', but I feel that a dodgy note or two is what? 2 or 3 secs? And the rest of the minute+? NO. I would rather hear a dodgy note or two and hear that other minute as well. And I do NOT hear any freakin' dodgy notes anyways!!!
After over 40 years of listening to this music I still get chills going up my spine when I hear the first few bars of this song. And it still moves me to tears.
It's so wonderful to see you enjoy this great music so much.💕 Have pity on young people who do not know this kind of music exists. 🤷♂️
Beautifully haunting song..My favorite Pink Floyd song. You have a beautiful smile.
You're on a roll, Mo!... I know you're going to get fans of bands and performers to plead that you do the live version (concert footage) of songs, but from a purely musical standpoint, the studio recording is nearly 100% of the time the best version of a song from any band or performer. If you want to react to VIDEOS of bands and performers, then live (concert footage) is the way to go. If you want to react to MUSIC from bands and performers, then the studio recording is the way to go.
I agree! No discredit to the performances or musicians themselves, but it's a unfortunate truth that for most of these iconic shows, the quality of the recordings and mixing are of no comparison to studio tracks.
The Pulse concert show by Floyd is well worth watching any song from. Quite professional.
Your reaction is beautiful I have listened too this since 1988
The song is an almost Shakespearean/Nietzschean celebration of the tragic view of life. Sad and yet life affirming. The look on your face said it all. There are live versions that you will enjoy.
agreed
soaring and optimistic guitar solos over a bass and chordal progression that is somber and fatalistic through the whole run out of the song
Um...no. it may make one feel that way because it is composed so well, however there is no "deep meaning" to this tune...it is a lyrically straightforward retelling of an incident Roger had during a gig in Philadelphia around 1977.
Classic Pink Floyd 🇬🇧 🖤 🎶🎵🎶 ♥️
Awesome reaction girl...Suggest you do the Live version of this from the Pulse concert 1994 you will hear one of the Greatest guitar solos ever...their stage and lighting show will blow your mind. 💯🔥👌...ohh footnote do not pause final guitar solo. 👍

Had to watch this again... a great pleasure watching a young woman of such great youthful beauty and emotional sensitivity reacting moment by moment to lyrics and musical translations of feelings into sound... thank you for all that you do here! thank you
David Gilmore, the only man who plays his guitar though his soul.
Gilmour
You haven't heard very many guitarists then. Dave's good but he's not unique.
@@dougoneill7266 okay I’m gonna be the second argumentative person on this post.
David Gilmore IS a unique player but not the ONLY one who plays through his soul. :D
Doug O'Neill hi Doug, I'm 66 years old. So I've heard most and seen lots.
His hands surely
You don’t listened to Pink Floyd songs you experience them! Great Gig in the Sky, Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Enjoy your journey!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
P.s. welcome to Pink Floyd in all they are. Epic!
Thank you for your heartfelt and emotional reaction...May God always shine his light upon you!!
I hear this song,(especially the guitar solos)from the bones out.
If that makes sense to you then you've probably heard it that way yourselves. 😁
Comfortably numb has always been my favorite Pink Floyd song. I loved watching you experience this iconic song for the first time... you should watch the whole movie…
You don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them, just like you did. I watch many PF reactions and honestly, most people simply don't "get it". You obviously did. Also, thanks for not pausing. Listen to the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album...it will literally change your life. ENJOY!!
I'm 62 now and I have lived loved to PF since I was 14 its great to see younger people appreciate the brilliance of this music.
PS You are beautiful physically and in spirit.
Thank you so much.....never gets old!....check out Time when you have time lol
I always love the reaction of people hearing the Floyd for the first...Priceless
'GREAT GIG IN THE SKY', LANDMARK RECORDING, DONE WITHOUT SCRIPTING OR DIRECTION ON 2ND TAKE
This is the best reaction!
I've always loved the studio version!
Why the pic of Darkside of the Moon? This song was on The Wall
Watching you experience this song that I have loved for years brought tears to my eyes. You responded with vulnerability to all those parts that you implore someone to just 'get' about the music you love. Thank you for reminding me of the power of music.
please listen the version alive - Pulse concert 1994

Time and High Hopes ! Two greats from them. Welcome to the Experience .😍
The live PULSE version of this from 1994 is another level with Gilmour's extended outro guitar solo.
the best live guitar solo of the history.
Hells yea it is

@@helmutvogel901 You again? For those unfamiliar with Helmut, he's made it his life's work to direct people to a version that Gilmour himself has rejected.
Your beauty and emotion just compounded my love for Pink Floyd, at 58 years of age, I cried with joy.
Pink Floyd - Echoes
Echoes Part 1 - Live at Pompeii
@@SeventhSaucer That's the one!
@@trevorjameson3213 Then follow up with Live at Pompeii - Saucerful of Secrets. (Echoes takes you out there. Saucerful starts you out there and brings you home.)
The look on your face @5:30 was" I finally understand and the universe falls into place. Priceless
the album "the wall" is a whole storyline. It is a kid growing up who becomes a musician. The musician becomes a drug addict and detached from his audience. Hence, he is "comfortably numb". The line "can you hear me" shows he is "out of it" and he gets an injection ("just another pinprick") in order to keep going ("can you stand up / that will get you through the show"). In order the understand the lyrics, you need to place it in the context of the whole album. The song "Mother" shows how he grew up with the fears of his mother instilled in him ("mother put all of her fears into you"). The album starts with an airplane coming down (representing his father being killed and growing up with a single mother) and the baby crying representing his birth. The whole album is the life story of Roger Waters (basist and song writer).
sorry.. 'The wall' is crafted. This is album is PURE emotion.
@@Triton_Secure Correct .
That's the magic of Pink Floyd. Put on your headphones. Click play. Then just let the music flow into your mind and carry your soul on a wondrous journey.
You should react to Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
It doesn't hurt that Gilmoure created the greatest guitar solo ever for this song.
I love to see the reaction to the music that I have been Listening my whole life I’m 68 years young and the music and concert I have been to was worth it...... I love MUSIC
Baby girl so cute 🥰🥰
Thanks babe 🥰
Welcome to the world that is... Pink Floyd. So glad to have watched you experience them.
Comfy numb isn't on Dark Side of the Moon.
I was just going to post the same comment. It's the first thing I noticed. Oh well, at least she's exposing herself to some great classic rock from The Wall.
DSOTM has a better album cover art.
Who said it was?
They are showing the album cover.... so, there’s that..
You were at a loss for words to describe your feelings from this song...and rightly so, yet, your reaction and facial expressions says it all. A masterpiece!, and you are stunning.
Welcome to the magical world of Pink Floyd. :-)
