Hey you...

...out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

[insert still more killer David Gilmour guitar work here!]

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
Always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me theres no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

...

...

Well that's what I thought of, anyway!

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn...Remember how she said that... we would meet again... some sunny day.

Vera...Vera...what has become of you

Does anybody else in here feel the way I do...

Hello..


Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb. (cue some wicked chords)

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
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.

Don't tell me there's no hope at all....

[Gulliver]

Really, come on and jump on board. They have avatars and everything.

Floyd Fest!

I tell you what, for my money, Comfortably Numb has not one but two of the greatest guitar solos in all of rock music. I mean it's hard to see how he could have done a better job on that, especially given the very unusual challenge of the first one being more peaceful and reflective and straightforwardly sad, perhaps, and then the second being that really guttural, angst-ridden affair. Such good work there, both sort of in and of itself and also in terms of suiting the context of the rest of the musical content.

I'm not saying it's not a group effort, just highlighting that particular aspect. A big for Mr. Gilmour, there.

That gives me an idea for a new thread, in fact. Check it out, if you like.
