Comfortably Numb
Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is Roger Waters (bass), David Gilmour (guitar), 
Nick Mason (drums), Rick Wright (keyboards).  This is definately 
one of the 5 best Pink Floyd songs ever, and its pretty easy to 
play.  Its great live (especially with david gilmours insane 
guitar solo at the end).

	Brad is correct..this song has nothing to do with drugs. It comes from a true story in which Bass player/lyricist Roger Waters had food poisoning and needed a shot of adreneline to feel well enough to play the show. The lines.. Can you stand up? I do belive it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go. Is the administrator of the drugs, seeing the correct affects on Roger, and it goes further by saying that the record companies just wanted a show and did not have a care in the world for the safety of the performer.. The verses sung by David Gilmour are the memories Pink (lead character in The Wall) has after getting the adreneline injection, remembering a childhood sickness which almost became fatal.

	ya...thats pretty much what i play only on the second to last B bend up a bit.

	I can totally relate to this song... I haven't done it either (taking drugs), but I can understand the desire to feel COMFORTABLY NUMB.... not to feel any pain, no to feel anything whatsoever... sometimes life just hurts so much :(

	I think this song captures drugs very well. Synthetic happiness, escaping pain through substances. I think a lot of people that have experimented with drugs can relate. When you just get overwhelmed by emotions and you feel so hurt that you would rather be numb than to care. Screwed up stuff.

	This song is scary because it describes heroine use in such a pretty fashion. I've never done it myself, but there have been times I've been fucked up enough to feel this way.

	Dave Gilmour did this song because when he was performing he was so drug fucked that he needed a hit just to get him through the show.

Alex Wanna Be	#8 by Alex Williams at Jul 17, 2007 at 3:04 AM EST
	I always kinda figured one of the band members found a little mouse (like in The Wall) and got sad as he watched it die.
