Comfortably Numb es la sexta canción del álbum The Wall de la aclamada banda británica Pink Floyd. Esta pieza es considerada de las mejores creaciones del grupo y sin duda es una de mis favoritas.

David Gilmour destaca con dos solos de guitarra, en especial el segundo, que son reconocidos como uno de los mejores de Pink Floyd. Prueba de ello es que la prestigiosa revista Guitar World lo coloco como el número 4 en su lista de “Los 100 mejores solos de la historia”.

En presentaciones en vivo, el tema tenía una duración entre los 8 y los 10 minutos. Cada segundo vale la pena. Su letra es un poema repleto de imágenes que son el aliado perfecto para cada uno de sus geniales acordes.

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.

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

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more, ah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
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.
