Do you feel Sorrow or are you Comfortably Numb ?

Weird Floyd trivia.
The band's introduction to the public at large was the single Money (edited to under 3 minutes).
A lot of folks in the US new to the band thought they were black and part of the Motown/R&B scene that was HUGE back then.



The original release came with a couple of very cool posters.

Be honest, it was just you who thought that.
I mean, I could get someone mistaking Rare Earth or Average White Band. AWB named themselves that just to be clear.

Thing is the edited version was all about the bum ba ba bum..... people didn't know they were hearing 7/4, it just sounded "groovy".

My bad - I thought this was Bowie vs Floyd, and wondered about the violin intro being referred to as "monster guitar"...

I gave Floyd up at The Wall. So there's one vote there for "Sorrow" that was made by someone (me) who has never heard that song in his life.

I can recall the smack addicts I used to know (from school when they weren't) saying how Numb was their world, even if Waters had injections for stomach cramps and wasn't.

“If someone could go up and get a big fat scoop of what heaven tastes like, that’s David Gilmour’s playing right there. I can’t put it any other way; it just feels so otherworldly. He can take one note and turn it into an experience. You’re not listening, you’re experiencing his solos

Dave Mustaine

Oh well how can you not agree with him?

I feel like a small furry animal gathered in a cave and grooving with my dick. After 44 years, 7 months and 2 days trying to mimic these licks, one realizes that there are still many nuances to learn

How did i get here?
Sitting on this spinning sphere
When will I leave here
We know death is always near
I try to understand but answers don't come easily
Friends always deceiving me
Is this what life's supposed to be?
Human animals
We roam the earth in search of blood
Hope for humanity?
I don't think there ever was
We're in perpetual war, and that's the only law
Can I change it? I doubt it
So I write songs about it
I was young once but now I've grown old
Right in front of your еyes you've seen my life unfold
I had no choicе as I became the underdog's voice
A young black kid... look what the fuck I did!
When I'm gone there'll be someone to carry on
We can give in, give up, or we can stay strong
How accepting of the bullshit we've all become
This whole world is... comfortably numb

Hello... is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?
Hello... is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?

You've got a TV, a computer, so you don't care
A roof, some clothes, some food
That's right, it's all there
Lock yourself in your house, try to forget about
The millions dyin' from wars, starvation and drought
You've got your own problems - yes, we all do
Nobody is free from stress, not him, or me, or you
But still we judge each other, we want to pick a fight
In the streets we kill each other, each and every weeknight
I don't want no drama but I carry a gun
I don't want no problems but they'll probably come
So we get high to wash away the pain
Self-medication, but that shit is all done in vain
We think that we can hide away from the misery
You can close your eyes but still can plainly see
There's nowhere to run...
You're just comfortably numb

Hello... is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?
Hello... is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?

I spent half my life just trying to survive
And the other half trying to keep you all alive
For some reason I still care
I've done my dirt
It's amazing that i'm still here
There's true evil out there, I've been trying to warn you
You could meet the devil himself, then what you gonna do?
No time to pray, no chance to run
Listen... 'cause I've been on both sides of the gun
As you stand before me we're all here as one
We gotta come together or our chances are none
Maybe I'm just a dreamer, too many obstacles
The though of humans coexisting, that's impossible
Better to stay numb, live in denial
We're all going to hell and we did it to ourselves
Too much religious beef, too much racist shit
And if there is a God we probably make him sick
Hello... is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?
Hello... is anybody out there?
