Story behind the song
The song is basically about trying to get Syd Barrett out of his drug fuelled state of Numbness by a doctor to be able to perform a show .Roger waters plays the doctor in the song verses. David gilmour plays syd Barrett in the song choruses one of my bucket list songs to record. This is the first time ive played keys and synths on a recording ! Everyone knows what a fantastic guitar player David gilmour is and I'm no Gilmour but love his work and did the best I could. This is the hotter live version.
Lyrics
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home ? Come on now I hear you're feeling down I can ease your pain and 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 receeding A distant ship smoke on the horizen 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 guitar solo I have become comfortably numb O.K Just a little pin prick There'll be no more aaaaaghhh ! 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 receeding A distant ship smoke on the horizen 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 and I Have become comfortably numb guitar outro

I was watching Brit Floyd do this over the weekend and this compares quite well not an easy task. Excellent.

Good song to start with, and your version is very, very good indeed. Nice instrumentation and 'shiny' guitar tone well played too. Good job, well done. I have a new piece, inspired by a Sydney man, Arthur Malcolm Stace also known as 'Mr. Eternity' (9 February 1885 – 30 July 1967), who for many years left the word 'Eternity' written in chalk on buildings, footpaths, stairwells etc. This is dedicated to 'Mr. Eternity' and members of my family who have passed into 'Eternity', R.I.P. 'Eternity": https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14690596 Also on the 'Tube': https://youtu.be/FwK57_1ycG0 Please take a look/listen when you have time. :)

Like everyone I snatched the album in 1973 to experience the most influential music of it's time. Listened countless times with headphones and got swept away by the genius of Gilmore. Most musicians would not touch recording this song. You did! Key change and all! My headphones once again did me good with your version. Loved it! Your talented!

Fearless ! You have tackled this brilliantly and guitar tone is right on. Congratulations on this performance and production. Your bucket should be feeling pretty full with this accomplishment in it. Kudos !

Well you can do stuff I can't. I remember the original when it was released. Your version is so, so good, it's right up there with it. The guitar, keys and vocals are the very best. Without doubt the best cover I've heard on here or anywhere this year. Out of 10....100!

Fantastic work Steve! This is one of those classic songs that you shouldn’t touch unless you can really do it justice and you’ve really hit the spot here. The synths, vocals and guitars all bob on. Plus you have carried the emotion and power of the story superbly. Seriously well done mate!

Whether you like Pink Floyd or not you're bound to be aware of this song. It's one of their most well known and well loved songs. Because of that the pressure was on you to deliver the goods, as it were. You have captured the total 'vibe' of it perfectly. A full blown triumph I'd say. A fantastic cover Steve. We'll done.

Absolutely brilliant!! It's hard enough to reproduce the music of a well-known successful band, but it's extremely difficult to nail the soul, emotion & character of a track like this - that indefinable "something"...and you've captured it perfectly. Amazing achievement that you've played all the parts & produced all this yourself. Performance, mix, production all first class!

One of my favourite Floyd tracks. You did a great job on this Steve, vocals are bang on. Production is awsome. Great work!!
