Comfortably Numb
Annemieke
Apart from the concerts of Camel I have been to only one other rockconcert. It was the concert of Pink Floyd with a spectacular (for that time) light show.
Especially Comfortably Numb I always found impressive and again it is great to have the lyrics at hand with it.
Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear your 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 your 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.
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.

Annemieke,
Oh, Pink Floyd is one of my favorite, of all time, bands. I wish I would have seen them in concert. Thanks for making my day by sharing this.
Also, I do owe you a big thank you for visiting the thread at Gaia Networking. It is quite an experience, to have so much focus upon my life. Unforgettable but I will be happy for quieter days, too. Anyway, I was so touched that my friendship with you had been meaningful. I am still quite fond of my first friend Carrie, (it was Zaadz then) even though we don't have much contact, as she is somewhat transient these days.

Hi Deborah
So glad to hear that Pink Floyd is one of your favorites.
Yes, I was very moved when you send the message, where you said something like, I see that you are new here and I would be honoured to be your first friend, or something like that. It just made me feel so welcome here.
I can imagen your wish for guieter days, but I still hope you will enjoy this whole month.

Nothing like a little Pink Floyd to digest your food by. A lovely song and one which I listen to all of the time. Hugs Michael
Pink Floyd is my ALL time favorite band!
I was lucky enough to have seen them twice in concert (In New Jersey at Giants' Stadium) and two years ago I saw Roger Waters with a guest appearance from Nick Mason, as they performed the entire Dark Side of the Moon album live at Madison Square Garden in NYC! That's probably a run-on sentence, but I was excited to get it all out!
Great tune, excellent band!
Superb choice…
Hugs!

Michael and Susan thank you for your comments, glad you both loved it.
Hearing Dark Side of the Moon in New York, how great is that! I have been to New York early this year and boy, was I impressed, what a city. That energy, I just loved it.
