  • There are only, maybe 5 classic rockers in the school, including me and my girlfriend.

  • This is what music really is just listen.

  • This is what is!

  • I had encephalitis as a child, this song brings back some memories of what I remember at 7 years old, in a comatose state

  • A quick youtube observation:

    The highest rated comments are usually are guy saying how shit Justin Bieber is and all other modern music artists or how special they are because they are so young and they like older music.

    Just a thought :)

  • @ajm240393 I know I fucking hate when people say that they're 14 or 12 years old.who gives a crap. I tell them im 3 months away from being born and I just love Pink Floyd

  • @OoOoORuDyXxXxX haha xD

  • @ajm240393 Your pulling the same shit man haha you wrote that comment for thumbs...

  • @ffishy100 ...Haha, why the hell would I be sad enough to care if people click a little 'thumbs up' icon by my comment?-What am I 12?-No...I commented this page as it dawned on me what kind of people usually have the highest comment ratings. And as for me 'pulling the same shit' this is the first time I have listened to this song since I made my comment, which kind-of shows that I don't really give a fuck if my comment is liked.

    Like my comment if you agree...*JUST KIDDING* ... Good day.

  • @ajm240393 Who is Justin Bieber ? Does he play an instrument ? Is he a pro poker player ?

  • Comment removed

  • @hXcVox420 Maybe you should try some grammar classes. I think that Lil' Wayne done rotted yo' brain, kid.

  • yeah allielsonebfd is right, i talked to a kid whos my age (14) and i sent him helter skelter by the beatles over facebook and he said it sucked and the beatles are the worst band ever and he saidn they cant sing! they are the flippen beatles!!! what the hell?!!! he also said raps were its at which is utter bull crap!!!! Rock will live on forever and all that other music is just a fricken fad!!!!!

  • @Darksideofsgtpeppers some people will always listen to good music like this it will never get old this is my favourite song of all time and i cant see it changing any time soon....

  • @Darksideofsgtpeppers If you were showing singing talent helter skelter probably wasnt the best choice, I would of chosen Getting better or something. Brilliant song none the less. And awesome name btw.

  • this song is just too good

  • Amazing how music has gone away from artists playing REAL INSTRUMENTS...REAL LYRICS and WORDS that meant something....yes, the music should be taught along with Beethoven, Back and Mozart true music for the masses......

  • there is no great genius wihout some touch of madness '.

  • Pink Floyd Rules!!!

  • all good musicians have opiet addictions. they might be junkies but they're fucking heroes in my eyes <3

  • @josheverafter learn to spell opiate before pretending you understand the "relationship" of msuic and opiate addiction.....fucking children

  • @TheLastZiggen ecuse me? you cock smoking whore i will misspell any word i fucking want and there isnt a goddamn thing you can do to stop me.. so go back to being the poster child for abortion that you always were. k thanks. buh-bye (fucking freak)

  • @josheverafter youre a rebel!

  • @TheLastZiggen ha opiate what your a fuckin pussy i just looked it up that shits fuckin morphine!

  • @mrbattlenet yes. its morphine. its also heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and of course opium are all in fact opiates. it is a classification/family of drugs. but i dont really understand what youre attempting to say...anyway, comedy hours over. later.

  • @TheLastZiggen oh i was tryin to be a troll nevermind then

  • i used to go to school totally zoned out and listen to this shit and jam out with my mp3 player in class, it was like everyone was dancing to beat of the pink floyd songs in my headphones. pink floyd makes math fun lol

  • heavy metal at its finest-pink floyd

  • there has been a long time since i dont listen this song .. i've been so much into death metal and thrash metal but fuck it all . i fucking cryed listening to this amazing as hell song.. hail to fucking pink floyd

    vale a pena ouvir mesmo!!!

  • watch the movie!

  • The child is grown, the dream is gone.

  • Stop comparing different genres of music!! To do that is very dumb and doesn't make any sense. I feel very sorry for folks that only listen to 1 genre of music!.....anyway, PINK FLOYD IS THE SHIT!!

  • 'talking about music is like dancing about architecture' Elvis Costello. Stop talking about what music u like or what sucks! Just listen to the music and appreciate it. :)

  • i bet they wrote this on lsd or maybe when they recorded it he was just high cuz it sounds like it lol

    but it still is amazing

  • alliels what u need to do is kick that stupid kid in fuckin face

  • Receding is good; gotta sometimes !! The ebb and flow evens us all out !! enjoy the Peace and Calm !!

  • Dude, this kid in my study hall told me that Pink Floyd was the worst band ever made and that Lil Wayne is real music. I'm a 14 year old girl, and do you know what I think of people who think "Lil Wayne" is music? I think they are a bunch of fucking idiots who have no sense of music at all. Music teachers need to start teaching kids about REAL music.

  • In fact, your comment is stupid. What you're saying isn't better than the kid in your study hall. Every kind of music is music, maybe not your kind, but it stills music. Think about it.

  • There's music and there's fashion, I will never call fashion music. That's why for example Lady gaga isn't music. We are in, what I would like to call, a term of fashion. I did not read your earlier posts, so I am not trying to lecture you or anything, just making a statement, don't judge me. Hell, you might even agree.

  • there's music and there's autotune...

  • yeah for real...fuck lil wayne

  • lil wayne is a good rapper... but in no way is any of his music better then Pink floyds.

  • lil wayne is in no way shape or form a "good" rapper.....he dnt even show up on the top 50 list.....can u say garbageee

  • 14 year olds shouldn't be swearing

  • @AllieIsOneBFD well his opinion

  • @AllieIsOneBFD Bad comment tbh. Sure I also like to think i'm a hardcore music lover. Sure some music is purely commercial, some is easier to create and some requires much more skill to perform, but music is something you listen to for yourslf, sure that guy was narrowminded to say Pink Floyd is bad, but your as bad as him when you say Lil Wayne is bad. Music is purely subjective, a matter of opinion.

  • @bichinrich wrong, lil wayne has no talent. it's all synthetic. I listen to basically everything, and the only thing I do not like is all of this new crap. no originality. it is all the same song.

  • @AllieIsOneBFD I second this comment. Fucking people today are retarded.

  • @AllieIsOneBFD There is really no helping people with such distorted opinions. The best thing you can do is let them live in their own little words because they will never relate to anyone with an open mind and a love for music. Lil Wayne will die out in the next year or so and then there will be a new star on the rise. People with single minds will worship whoever it may be because they are trained to follow

  • @AllieIsOneBFD i agree it's nice to have music written by someone with intelligence. Most hip hop sounds like the person who wrote it was an idiot.

  • @AllieIsOneBFD I have a fourteen year old sister who listens to Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and everyone else on radio today. Believe me when I say I would trade her for you in a heartbeat. I'm only 18, and Pink Floyd is my 2nd favorite band ever, behind AC/DC. They are both amazing bands live!!

  • @AllieIsOneBFD the music teacher at our school teaches the chorus some of the classic rock songs. (the appropriate ones at least) wanna move to our school? haha jk. :D

  • Tie that kid to a chair and force him to listen to Pink Floyd for 20 hours straight. If he still hates them, then shoot him. If he survives that, shoot him again.

  • @AllieIsOneBFD YES THANK YOU VERY MUCH! well fuckin said

  • @AllieIsOneBFD totally agree

  • Comment removed

  • @AllieIsOneBFD thats not entirely true, pink floyd is some of the greatest music in existence, but u kno what? i still fuckkin pine up and jam out to lil wayne, so fuck u, wayne is music

  • @hXcVox420

    maybe but lil wayne isn't as good as a tribe called quest

  • @hXcVox420 if u can call rap music then you too really get your head examined

  • @dollarshort2 dude really? just cuz i like a variety?? man fuckk u, y dont u try sum openmindedness

  • @hXcVox420 im sorry but ghetto trash that sits around ryming and drinking cough syrup shouldnt have the fame and fortune! that shit isnt music

  • @AllieIsOneBFD I LOVE YOU!!!

  • @AllieIsOneBFD i agree completly

  • @AllieIsOneBFD You're right!

  • @AllieIsOneBFD you know was up

  • @AllieIsOneBFD woo u go girl lol

  • @AllieIsOneBFD sorry to say this but i love lil wayne i dont think of it as music i think of it as rap!! and im sorry that you have to put ppl down to make yourself better. becuz in the real world were all equal. and this is coming from a 12 year old.

  • @guitar4agirl you just cant compare lil wayne to Pink Floyd

  • @guitar4agirl gayyyyyyyyyyy

  • @AllieIsOneBFD i agree

  • @AllieIsOneBFD I have total respect for you because I feel the exact same way, this is beautiful and talented music, it can never compare to what garbage is being played everywhere these days.

  • @AllieIsOneBFD Amen girl Keep listing to real music!

  • PINK FLOYD D BEST EVER!!!!!!!

    pls copy and paste

  • Its rather humourous to me that its such a glorious song that sounds so beautiful and ground breaking...................And its about heroin :D

  • It's not about heroin it's about roger water's experience with hepatitis he has had it since he was a kid. THe movie reflects that he had a pet rat that carried a disease he kept and had it as a pet. He later was numb because of the shot the doctor had given him. Do not make assumptions Pink Floyd may have been big on drugs in the early days but most of their songs are written about syd barrett and the songs are meant to sound "trippt" because thats how Syd lived his life. They worshiped Syd.

  • "According to Rolling Stone the lyrics came from Roger Waters' experience when he was injected with tranquillizers for stomach cramps by a doctor prior to playing a Pink Floyd show in Philadelphia on the band's 1977 tour for the Animals album.[3][4] "That was the longest two hours of my life," Waters said. "Trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm." - Wikipedia

  • dont EVER listen to wkipedia....theyre people like u and me trying to give all these "facts" and indeed the song is about roger waters' exp with hepititis bcuz listen to the lyrics......"When I was a child I had a fever.

    My hands felt just like two balloons." he had HEP and got a shot thats why his hands were numb tartcake get ur info correct b4 sounding SO right about something your not even close on

  • Who's tartcake? Yes, he does reference a childhood experience where he was ill. However, he also says, "Now I've got that feeling once again," and, "The child is grown, the dream is gone." He' may reference that childhood experience, but being "comfortably numb" in this song is about an experience as an adult performer - "That'll keep you going for the show. Come on it's time to go."

  • Yeah, wiki lies.

  • @Kennylennon5 kenny, actually, he was a insane heroin user, but u were right about the doctor shooting him up.

  • @Kennylennon5 uuuh actually i think it was the plague dude

  • oh you mean morphine, right? but they are both opiets

  • the truth is that tha whole song is about shootin up............... i watched a interview with them and they admitted it was but either way they are great!

  • great song ! but in the lyrics you 've forgot something: it's "is there anyone at home" besides "is there anyone home" . Correct it !

  • No correction needed. I have listened very carefully through my high spec PC and speakers, and the word "at" isn't coming out of them!! I looked at 3 lyric pages, and none mention "at". Saying that, when I sing it, I put an "at" in. Oh well.

  • still recon they have the best light shows ever

  • it was about drugs it was about sid who died hence wish u was here !!! iddiots

  • wish you were here was on a different album...

  • i agree with dand u dunno what ur talking about shut up. wish you were here and comfortably numb are 2 diff stories

  • sid died three years ago wish you were here came out in 1975. KNOW YOUR SHIT BEFORE YOU TELL OTHER PEOPLE THEIR IDIOTS ASSHOLE!

  • everyone just watch the movie.... and you'll know

  • the beauty of this song is that you can make it what you want thats why i think pink floyd is so versatile!

  • to make things clear for everyone its about heroin

  • actually its about Syd Barrett, though some people also believe its about Roger

  • no this song is not about herion. This song is about Roger Waters. True story: he was preparing for a Pink Floyd gig in Philly. The only problem is that he had Hepatitis (or something like that) and he was feeling pretty crappy. So he went to see a "street doctor" just before the show, in an effort to get some relief. The quack gave him a high dose of some sedative to ease the pain. The only problem is that it rendered Roger dysfunctional as a musician for the gig. He was comfortably numb.

  • It's about Syd Barrett, the former front-man for Pink Floyd who supposedly lost his mind to LSD. Another theory says that he received seizures from strobe lights on the stage.

  • pink floyd is the koolest

  • this is floyds puff thje magic dragon(i think that song is about heroin not pot or the loss of youth)but there is alot of lyrics in this song that can show heroin useIE.......ease ur pain,ballons..got that felling,little pinprick,,u may feel sick and so on what better line to describe heroin then comfortably numb.??????????????

  • i think its about people who just kinda shut out everything and become what society wants them to me

  • It's actually about one of the band members being ill before a concert and the doctor needing to be called in so he could perform that night! Saw it in an interview. You really need to check into this stuff before you comment....

  • actually no nobonemovies is right cause the lead singer wrote this song 4 the album the wall and this song talks about when he got addicted 2 drugs

  • amazing... <3 love this song

  • my favorite floyd song. im only 15 and i just discovered it fairly recently. I heard it somewhere and thought it was cool. i looked it up and found out it was by pink floyd and it's their second most popular song on itunes. wow. how awesome is that? it deserves its place. the guituar solos are ball breakers!!

  • no age for great musical taste my friend.. im 16 and i fucking love pink floyd.. now im a trainee dj and mostly play tech-house minimal and so forth but my faves are oldies like this one.. they will never die or get forgotten!!

  • 2nd solo of this song i think is better than stairway to heavens solo

  • my feet...are numb...and it feels good...im comfortably numb!

  • Pink Floyd songs induce orgasms. This is fantastic!!

  • idk dude...but the songs about heroin

  • this song is not about drug use you retard , its about roger waters childhood .

  • No. It's about drugs. Just look at the lyrics.

  • I think it goes much deeper than just "drugs"... you should think about it a lil less superficially.

  • It's about a friend who was addicted to heroin and needed it to go on with the show, hence "Just a little pinprick. There will be no more *screams* but you might feel a little sick" This sounds like it's describing heroin. "Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That will keep you going for the show.

  • imo its about heroin too..

  • you gotta feel it to believe iT!!! maybe i m too numbed!!'

  • the best floyd song of all time....n birdman3597...ur wrong...the songs about heroin

  • ya you here the ambulance during the guitar solo?

  • oooh, if it were only that shallow birdman....... there is nothing funny about pain......

    A distant ship smokes on the horizon.

  • pain is funny, like you wouldn't laugh when you give your friend an iceleg

  • this is like the best song hahahahahahahahahahaha it is about roger waters being sick when he had to go on stage so the docter had to give him stuff tht made him numbb so he wouldnt feel the pain
