  • who put this video on? i put it on more than once. i really hate you stole my idea at least 4 times

  • ENGLAND.

  • This song is so lovely..The best of psb!<3

  • thumbs up if you remember this from england world cup exit video

  • Thank you Neil. I lost my bother a year ago and my girl friend 6 months ago. I love this song. Brings peace.

  • It's a shame, that everyone I know and care about feels this way. I love that the Pet Shop Boys have brought this to light, in which, it makes me feel as if maybe there's a bit of hope.

  • tragic

  • Well,my grandpa died there.............I've never got the possibility to embrace him:-((((((((

  • don't be sad....just be numb

  • I am sad:-(((((((((

  • I feel sad:-(((((((

  • i listen to this song every april 20th

  • The video/song is a commentary of the Bush/Blair administrations. Thank goodness that ear is behind us!

  • noisecontrollers-espace,

    really good hardstyle mix to this beatiful song

  • noisecontrollers-espace(good Remix to this song)

  • This song is about people who were dying in Leningrad (now it's Saint Petersbourg) during 2-nd world war. City was in ocupation by nazy.

  • It was never ocupied it was so well defended that hitler deceided to seige it.

  • nice vid.

    I like the b/w.

    soft and dramatic.

  • awesomee song reli =]

  • i know is pet shop boys, but what is the name of the guy?

  • The lead singer is Neil Tennant, and the other guy, usually on the synthesizer and stands in the background, is Chris Lowe.

  • who is singing? and how come and dont find this song on frostwire?

  • go to hell

  • Masterpiece!

  • That how i feel every single day, the sadness,the pain, the numbness feeling inside. It will never go away.

  • It will I have 5 years sobreity and life is what is is you can change the way you feel but try to change the world around you. Keep your head up theres many many like you out there. Work on yourself.

  • great

  • pet shop boys and queen both will never die

  • Queen died when Freddie Mercury died... they'll never be the same without him. Paul Rodgers is okay, but it's just not the same. Pet Shop Boys however, still amazing.

  • It's a beautiful song.

  • totally agree!

    a really anthem!!

  • I feel the sadess...;(

  • Sorry, spelling mistake...

    Sadness.

  • Sometimes I feel there is only one electronic pop group who always played really precious music during the past 25years and it is called Pet Shop Boys.Together with their mistakes they are an incomparable legend,no matters how many albums they will release and sell in the future!!!

  • beautiful song and a haunting video these guys just keep getting better.

  • Still makes me feel cold, everytime

  • such a sad and painfull song. why there's so much pain in this world? why we are so fucked-up?

    one of the best songs of the Pet Shop Boys.

  • Selfish genes don`t have empathy for their host.

  • This is so fucking Solemn, that I feel the coldness of the song within my bones

  • How brilliant - i love the track, the video is beatiful !

  • U lol im naked! O

  • did any1 feel like nothing when they listened and watched this? like they didnt feel happy or sad or angry. it made me numb

  • Although this is not completely their composition,it was maybe their best song in the last 15 years,and one of my favorites too.

    Why wasn't it a great,succesful hit in 2006?

    Do people have such a bad taste to underrate them?I think this is their real strong side and not their disco ryhtms they made earlier.

  • It's grammAr... And because.

  • Oops, that was meant for Kain6907.

  • Oh thank you ive been wondering how to spell because.

  • can someone tell me what is the story behind the video. what actually happened ?

  • BEAUTIFUL VOICE

  • wat a wonderfully sad song. sob....sob

  • this is awesome DelMinor thanks for giving it to me mwahhh

  • Very nice... But then, do they put out bad songs? Great song. Great band.

  • Hauntingly Beautiful, Heart wrenchingly moving, another PSB classic !

  • lol bye bye england world cup 2006

  • What a beatiful and painfull song about love... video shows winter evacuation from blocked Leningrad. 300 000 people died there (08.09.1941 - 27.01.1944), my grandparents too

  • it was horrible. my grandmother didn't die...she saw all those hungry people. there's nothing as bad as war. great song.

  • I like the video. There's certain obscurity that's taken partly from history and modern times.

  • I feel the same

  • this song explains my life. i love this song to death

  • lmao reminds me of England i freakin love this song:D(L)

  • What a beautiful song :$ Love it !

  • Beautiful song...:)

  • such a sad and painfull song. why there's so much pain in this world? why we are so fucked-up?

    one of the best songs of the PSB. not a typical for Dianne Warren to write.

  • hah, reminds me of england 2006

  • lol yeah me to

  • I've always thought that Neil has a beautiful voice that really conveys emotion in a way a lot of soul singers could only hope to.

  • Agreed. He does this in such an understated way as well.

  • WICKED TUNE

  • The other side of psb, but great!

  • Yeah, very different. Neil Tennant's voice is actually able to carry the song. I think the style of the song suits the subject material though. I kept waiting for electronic bits, hehe :P

  • Such a wonderful and sad song.

  • thanks bro!

  • does anybody know 1 PSB song that has them walking streets with dogs on the video?

  • i dont know what you want but i cant give it anymore does - though dos are featured in suburbia.

  • New York city Boy?

  • yes, the video is "I don't know what you want but I can't give it anymore", it´s a song from the 1999 album "nightlife"

  • SUBURBIA

  • i think it is a very under rated video

    i love it very much

  • What a nice song from PSB

  • So so sad. I think that it's a really good description of what drives people to substance abuse.

  • This cannot hold a match to "Being Boring."

  • such a sad and painfull song. why there's so much pain in this world? why we are so fucked-up?

    one of the best songs of the PSB. not a typical for Dianne Warren to write.

  • you are so right SuicideOnMyMind, i wanna be numb too, some time it realy helps. After kings cross this is my fav song of them. Im PSB fan since the PLEASE album.

  • this is now becoming my very fav song of theirs. of course might be slightly cause i can relate to the lyrics.

  • and remember: numbness is not a good thing. try to avoid it or enjoy responsibly. :-)

  • Can't wait for their new album!

  • The new album planned release year is 2009 so just be patient it's on way! :)

  • The chronicle from the surrounded Leningrad 41-42.

  • Great song ...i want to be numb. Just for a day, an hour...anything.

  • I love this song :DDD

  • ME tooo

  • I HATE THIS SONG BECAUSE THE PET SHOP BOYS ARE ONE OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS EVER WHAT THE HELL THEY DID ,TO HIRE DIANNE WARREN TO WRITE A SONG FOR THEM

    the consequence of this mistake was the low chart position making the song the 2nd pet shop boys with the least success

  • Who cares? It's a good song.

    I don't know if it's because of the way they did it, or if it was just a good song in the first place, but so what?

    I'm not a big fan of Diane Warren's compositions, but this one works, even if I'm not entirely convinced by Neil singing "wanna" :-)

  • i like this song....meaningfull

  • Something about the lyrics and the music doesent seem to fit, the music feels (to me) very comforting and 'warm', shoulder to cry on kind of thing. But at the same time the lyrics make me shiver, I really dont want that (feel numb).

    PSB certainly don't seem to want me to feel numb about them wanting to feel numb :)

    like the song a lot though...

    (my english might not be all that, sorry)

  • At first listening, it's a shrill ballad and PSB have never scored high with slow songs. However, a subsequent listening brings forth sweeping, near epic sonic textures that dress Diane Warren's powerful lyrics in a post 9-11 meaning. It would have some potential as an American pop song but by now, American pop has gone straight to hell swamped in the worst kind of hip-hop and songs for the ADD crowd. And that's a crying shame.

  • quiero saber como se llama esta cancion pro favor

  • Numb

  • No, I don't want to be numb, for fuck's sake!

    I just want LIFE! Jesus!

    I wanted to be numb and look where it brought me. It's even worse now. it's even worse when you wake up. No, I don't want to be numb.

  • i understand, sometimes you gotta be numb first...

  • sometimes the pain is so deep, that being numb only makes it worse, in that case all you can do is either run away or fight. and depending on what you choose, it's a choice of a new life or an old pain

  • sometimes the pain is so deep, that being numb only makes it worse, in that case all you can do is either run away or fight. and depending on what you choose, it's a choice of a new life or an old pain

  • Every time I listen to this song, I cry - which is probably a good thing since I've gone pretty - well - numb. Diagnosed with depression, on medication. But this song makes me experience feelings again - thanks PSB.

  • sorry to hear that :( and yea this is a great song, really gets to me

  • this is exactly how i feel thank you PSB!

  • this is a freakin sweet song i feel like i can relate

  • i love pet shop boys! this song explain everything.

  • Amazing song

  • excellent song

  • Canción impactante y profunda. Suena muy extremecedora en la voz de Neil Tennant. Es un verdadero placer escucharla.

  • ...eh

  • Pet shop boys are so smart that they already know that human will always suffer from stupidity such as: war, selfishness, lust for power, sickness, hunger. They knew it long time ago and they can other's pain, amazing people they are.

  • good song , awful video couldnt be worse

  • sad song but it s great ;pet shop boys are so talented

  • superb!!!!! good job PSB

  • Just Great !!

  • hi

    this song reminds me of one of my horses i had sold, he was a wind sucker. the words sound like they come from him, he was put down 13-12-2006

  • This reminds me of my final holiday with my ex of 6 years before she binned me in april 2007. Its how i was actually feeling, wanted to tell her but couldn't. Don't know why. Message to young couples - TALK TALK TALK!!!

  • Thank you, hope you're better now.

  • Pet Shop boys release the Latin version of this single.Oh,Please !!

  • why cant i download this song on limewire

  • que pedo weyes

  • this such a butiful song yeah i no psb didnt write it but its the way neil sings it he sings it with so much passion as if he was saying to someone about some 1 pushing him around and he is telling popple how he fells ,Neil has such a passionate voice am i right

  • Great Song.

  • great song by a fuking brillint band long live the petshopboys

  • this is a profound work of art... moves me very deeply....

  • exquisite video for a great song!

  • i love this song

  • I like this song, but...video is very poor and boring.

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever :) Great job Neil & Chris x33

  • you're so right... :(

  • this song is written by dianne warren not by the boys.

  • Yip, I know but Neil and Chris performed it x'DD but you're right, gotta give credit to Dianne Warren too ;)

  • As i see my last comment was very unsuccsessful.:) I still think that this is a very good (and underrated) song, but to make for it a video like this.... what a waste!

  • such songs will always live... thrilling song and video... thanks Neil and Chris!!!

  • PSB truly outstanding time boundless talent...and here

    about WWII battle of Stalingrad where more russian soldiers died than all allied fatalities suffered in WWII. in all other conflicts of the second world war... most people do not know that had it not been for the courage/strength of the soviet people against a well oiled Nazi war machine... the Germans may have won the second world war...had it not been for our good russian friends. To all veterans who fought bravely for freedom - respect!

  • I really love this song...It expresses exactly how I feel at the moment..

    A truly great song :)

  • This is my new favourite song

  • It may have flopped everywhere but this will become a classic PSB song. It's astonishing.

  • It will become a classic.And it's the most wonderful songs written ever.

  • numb is one of many songs that show the pet shop boys have still got musical talent in them they are the best and always will be

  • I disagree :: I really like how they have done this song , very thought provoking .. and sad in a way !!

  • This video about WWII. Shows Moscow, Leningrad..., Soviet soldiers and people, winter evacuation from blocked Leningrad. Thanx PSB, what don`t forget the history.

  • I agree, this song doesn`t fit to the great PSB. Boys please, don`t make this error some other time!!

  • so this song is about the immigrants? great song btw.

  • Impresionante Los pet shop Boys Nunb simplemente escelente ...bunisíma

  • Wasn't this written by songsmith Diane Warren?

  • My mother died on September 3, 2006. So I know what eeryone is goign through. Time seems not to make the pain go away. This song is great1

  • aww man im soo sorry to hear that.

  • this song puts into words what it is like to really feel emotional pain, we will all need a song like this one day in our life. it lets you know that you are not the only one.

  • My partner died 3 months ago i can relate have played this song over and over.

  • I'm sorry to hear that! Your partner is in a beautiful place now. God bless..

  • I luv this song!

  • whenever i hear this song, i think of england in world cup 2006

  • Me too.

  • I was thinking of my mother when I stumbled upon this video...OMG, a symbolic hello from the other side. My parents immigrated to canada from that part of the world. Beautiful song. I've been numb since her death.

  • My sincere condolences.

  • A mother's love gone dark....that will definitely cause numbness. Four and a half years for me now. The numbness has still never left.

  • The only thing I cannot imagine is a world without my mother and I am a 24 years grown up boy. So my sincere condolonces to all those brave people, who lost their mothers and can still go on.

  • this song makes me wanna drop tears. PSB all the way!

  • Too sorry to say this, but this is the only PSB song I officially hate.

  • maybe "hate" is a strong word to use, but as a song is concern that stirs the soul to remember those who passed with great fondness, I think you missed the point of it.

  • Actually, it is so un_PSB and Neil really managed to whine this time. But I am glad that someone loves it.

  • call for help plz.

    in my around all this dark.

  • wonderful

  • This song packs a punch!  God Bless our Troops!
