Comfortably Numb from the 1979 album, the Wall by Pink Floyd.
“Comfortably Numb” is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd from their eleventh album, The Wall (1979). It was released as a single in 1980, with “Hey You” as the B-side.
The music was composed by the guitarist, David Gilmour. The lyrics were written by the bassist, Roger Waters, based on his experience of being injected with tranquilisers before a performance in 1977. Waters and Gilmour argued during the recording, with Waters preferring an orchestral arrangement and Gilmour preferring a more stripped-down arrangement. They compromised by combining both versions; Gilmour said the song represented the last time he and Waters were able to work together constructively.
“Comfortably Numb” is one of Pink Floyd’s best-known songs, notable for its two guitar solos.[4] In 2021, it was ranked number 179 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[5] In 2005, it became the last song ever performed by Waters, Gilmour, keyboardist Richard Wright, and drummer Nick Mason together. An early version was included on the 2012 Wall “Immersion Box Set”. The song was covered by Scissor Sisters with a radically different arrangement, which was a UK top ten hit in 2004.
Composition
The Wall is a concept album about an embittered and alienated rock star named Pink. In “Comfortably Numb”, Pink is medicated by a doctor so he can perform for a show.[6] The verses are in B minor, while the chorus has been described as using a modal interchange of that key’s relative major, D major, and D Mixolydian.[7]
Writing
“Comfortably Numb” originated in a wordless demo recorded by the guitarist, David Gilmour, while he was working on his debut solo album in 1978. He did not use the composition for that album, but kept it for future work.[8] The Pink Floyd bassist, Roger Waters, was reluctant to use it for The Wall as he wanted to take sole responsibility for writing the album. The producer, Bob Ezrin, agreed that the demo needed development but urged Waters to reconsider.[citation needed]
Gilmour originally wrote the verses in the key of E minor, which Waters changed to B minor. Gilmour also added bars for the “I have become comfortably numb” line. Waters’ lyrics were inspired by his experience of being injected with tranquilisers for stomach cramps before a performance in 1977 during Pink Floyd’s In the Flesh Tour.[9][10] He said, “That was the longest two hours of my life, trying to do a show when you can hardly lift your arm.”[11] The song’s working title was “The Doctor”.[12] Ezrin looked at the completed lyrics and said they “just gave me goosebumps”.

This is Probably it. At least ?!? In the Top 3. Of all time Guitar Solos.
My then girlfriend surprised me with tickets for The Division Bell tour back in 1994. She also surprised me on my birthday with tickets to the Moody Blues a year or two earlier. We are about to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. You can't let someone like that get away!
Green grass and high tides by the Outlaws. Not the end jam, but the leads between verses is magic.
Love David Gilmore ❤❤❤
Best Ever……almost makes me cry!
The only time you’ll hear a guitar cry. If you know you know.
I loved Pink Floyd!!
