FIRST TIME HEARING PINK FLOYD COMFORTABLY NUMB REACTION 

As i always say, you don't listen to pink floyd, you experience them. Greatest album ever.

This song captured a very dark time in my life, and the lyrics made me aware of my sadness. It pushed me to make positive changes in my life, and save myself.

Her face when Dave starts singing - just magic!

Such a beautiful woman that has just discovered Pink Floyd.

I’m 46, my husband is 47, we’ve been together since I was 14, he was and still is majorly into Pink Floyd, yes he smoked the stuff, I never did so didn’t listen to this music. I’m just recovering from a hysterectomy and I can tell you this wonderful music is easing my recovery, it’s wonderful

Your face when Gilmour sweeps into the first solo, is my face, everytime I hear this song.

The lyrics are charged with emotion and David Gilmour makes his guitar cry and sing.

I love watching young folks enjoying this music like I have since 1973. I'm 65 now and it got me emotional watching your emotions! Pink Floyd was a perfect blend of rock and blues, or rock and soul!

YOU CAN LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE & BE AFFECTED DIFFERENTLY EACH TIME

I could marry any woman that FEELS pink floyd like this woman does.

40 years later, i still tear up during the closing solo.I still want it to never end.

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond". You won't regret it.

Such a beautiful honest reaction. Thank you for listening through the whole song without stopping it 50 times like most others doing reaction videos. 👍❤

"The Wall" is a masterpiece. It came out while I was a teenager and it totally spoke to me. It still does.

One of those songs that give me goosebumps every time I hear it.

"The child has grown, the dream is gone". Every time I hear those lyrics my chest tightens and tears run down my cheeks. Gilmore's guitar solos are so emotional they transport me back to the origins of the most extreme emotions in my childhood. I could tell from your face they were very powerful for you too. Thank you for this reaction.

The smiles....just wow, makes it even better to listen to Pink Floyd

Your reaction is a joy to see. The changes from the initial WTF is this? look, to the gradual realisation that your in the presence of greatness. The sublety, the quality, the lyrics, the sheer expressiveness and build up of Gilmour's solos are written across your face. At the time of writing this, there were 51K viewers who all knew what was coming and wanted to see it expressed on your face. We were not disappointed

One thing that makes Comfortably Numb so powerful is that it contrasts extremely sad sections with the extremely happy chorus sections. And then outros into aggressive blues. It forces you to feel all emotions in one song.

1979...My brother in law invited me over to hear "The Wall" just released, my sister was working.I can see us clear as day sitting in the living room with a few beers (and some other stuff) listening to the magnificent Comfortably numb! We just sat there staring into space..there were no words to indicate we had just hear something timeless! Flash forward to March of this year.....My brother in law ...passed from cancer ....I always think of him when I hear this song! RIP Steve ...and thanks for taking good care of my sister all these years! We'll throw on some PF when I see you next !!!

70s and 80s was a great time growing up to this music...She gives me hope in the younger generation

Who ever puts a thumps down on this vid for this lady is not cool

Classic Pink Floyd 🇬🇧 🖤 🎶🎵🎶 ♥️

I was introduced to Pink Floyd around 1984, In the living room of a good friend. For me, My friend passed away recently and this took me back to that day. Imagining what it was like for him to watch me hear Pink Floyd for the first time.

"I can't explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am." To me, this song is about the ease with which people fall into destructive, meaningless patterns of coasting and anesthetization. We know we're taking the easy way out and that realization frustrates us. We think back on the dream of our childhood and the promise of our lives and sometimes feel unfulfilled and disappointed in ourselves. The absolutely explosive guitar solos are the struggle against that darkness, refusing to go meekly. Roger Waters and David Gilmour were speaking for a lot of us.

You’ve just brought a tear to my eyes watching your reaction to an unbelievable song.thanks

My new wife bought this album for me because I was so exciting about Pink Floyd. I was grateful and listened to it repeatedly for two weeks. But, it had a strange affect on me. It captures the sense of isolation, sadness, and hopelessness so well, that I became depressed. I had to stop listening to it for a period. The album follows the rock star, Pink's, descent into a mental breakdown. I could relate to all the hardships of my teen years: rejection, bullying, fights that sent me to the emergency room. It was all there in the album: being alone. I think that is what makes the album so amazing: it means something unique to everyone who hears it, but it is always something about struggle and isolation. Truly great art touches something inside you, something uniquely you.

Remember reading where someone posted that every guitar should get a David Gilmour for Christmas. Love that line! Probably the highest praise one could give any musician.

Nothing quite like having an absolutely gorgeous woman listen to a legendary band for the first time 😍🤘🏽🔥🎤🎸

Nearly bought me to tears loved your reaction

I'm 62 now and I have lived loved to PF since I was 14 its great to see younger people appreciate the brilliance of this music. PS You are beautiful physically and in spirit.

For one moment in time, Pink Floyd Created an Album of Utter Genius.....Simply the Best Ever!!!

I am much, more older than you, and remember when we'd listen to this back in the 70s. We basically imagined a star (singer or musician...but a big star) in his/her dressing room just before a concert is to begin. He/She has probably overdosed on something, and there is a frantic effort to not only revive him/her...but get them ready to go on stage. Listening to some songs from that era...sans the context of the times...it's often difficult to appreciate what was intended for the listener.

The most incredibly beautiful smile! 💕 🕊 🌹

Washing my car and listening to Floyd when my elderly (recently widowed) mom came out to join me. The look on her face was priceless. At the end of a song she said "I love The Blues, Who is this?" "Pink Floyd." I replied. I then put my 6 disk player on Random Play and she sat (sometimes softly swaying) listening for an hour. BTW... Morenikeji Taiwo, You are very beautiful.

"The child has grown, the dream is gone" - what a line.

Watching a person just listening to a song on RU-vid would be quite boring. However watching a beautiful person experience awesome music and feeling it completely, is a truly rewarding moment. Having watched since her beginning in this journey of learning new music has made the crazy and depressing times I've (and many of us) been forced to go thru in the last year somewhat bearable. Thank you for this Morenkeji 💜

The growing popularity of these reaction videos is one of the shining bright lights of an otherwise super heavy 2020 and I thank ANYONE who takes the time to and shows the vulnerability to share their reactions to these songs that have so long been a big part of my life. "The Wall" is a super important and relevant album, as well and this song is just an absolute killer. Glad you found it!

I love when they get that first Pink Floyd Eargasm

Pink Floyd 10 generation ahead of us

You just witnessed one of the the 3 top guitar solos of all time. Like others have said, the live Pulse version will blow your socks off. Oh, and by the way, I love your reactions. So real and genuine.

This is what was called album rock. This is an excellent song by itself for sure. But the entire album comes together. You have to turn off the lights lay down and enjoy from start to end

You have begun your journey to peace and happiness. This is the world in harmony ............ Yes, it makes you happy to be alive!!!

This was a song that Pink Floyd wrote with the understanding that a member of the band was on a bad drug trip in the dressing room before a show. His bandmates get "medicine" of some sort to revive him so he can play in the show. His vision and hearing are blurred, he is in a very surreal place as he goes on stage. The guitar and instrumental occur to give emotion to his surreal state. Don't take the emotions to heart or seriously, the whole song is a ode to the drug life of the 1960's. We live in a different world now.

Beautiful reaction! This song has the two best guitar solos of all time... in the same song no less. Well. In my opinion anyway.

Sweetheart, you’ve just been Floyded! 😃🥰 These masters of music play right to your soul. Your emotional reaction was beautiful. Thanks for reacting to my suggestion. You must listen to more of their songs when you can. Love ya.

That's the magic of Pink Floyd. Put on your headphones. Click play. Then just let the music flow into your mind and carry your soul on a wondrous journey. You should react to Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".

All Pink Floyd albums tell a story, The wall is a story of growing up in the aftermath of WW2, an overprotective mother who lost a husband clinging to her child, that childs experience in the education system of the day, their rise to fame, falling into drug use, mental health issues and final escape from that past... If you like this song you should listen to their song "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" from their 1975 album Wish you were here, a song written in honour of Syd Barrett, a founding member of the band who sadly fell into heavy drug use and serious mental health issues resulting in him being removed from the band, the guilt the band felt resulted in them immortalizing him in their their tribute to him, it's truly heartbraking when you know the story behind it.... Especially as he showed up at the studio during the recording of the song about him.... Wikipedia: "One day during recording, Barrett (now heavyset, with a completely shaved head and eyebrows) wandered into the studio (although Mason has since stated that he is not entirely certain whether "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was the particular work being recorded when Barrett was there). Because of his drastically changed appearance, the band did not recognize him for some time. When they eventually realised that the withdrawn man in the corner was Barrett, Roger Waters became so distressed about Barrett's appearance that he was reduced to tears. Someone asked to play the suite again for Barrett and he said a second playback was not needed when they had just heard it. When asked what he thought of the song, Barrett said it sounded a "bit old". He subsequently slipped away during celebrations for Gilmour's wedding to Ginger Hasenbein, which took place later that day. Gilmour confirmed this story, although he could not recall which composition they were working on when Barrett showed up. " The episode is taken up by Wright as follows: "Roger was there, and he was sitting at the desk, and I came in and I saw this guy sitting behind him - huge, bald, fat guy. I thought, "He looks a bit... strange..." Anyway, so I sat down with Roger at the desk and we worked for about ten minutes, and this guy kept on getting up and brushing his teeth and then sitting - doing really weird things, but keeping quiet. And I said to Roger, "Who is he?" and Roger said "I don't know." And I said "Well, I assumed he was a friend of yours," and he said "No, I don't know who he is." Anyway, it took me a long time, and then suddenly I realised it was Syd, after maybe 45 minutes. He came in as we were doing the vocals for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", which was basically about Syd. He just, for some incredible reason picked the very day that we were doing a song which was about him. And we hadn't seen him, I don't think, for two years before. That's what's so incredibly... weird about this guy. And a bit disturbing, as well, I mean, particularly when you see a guy, that you don't, you couldn't recognize him. And then, for him to pick the very day we want to start putting vocals on, which is a song about him. Very strange." Syd passed away on 7th July 2006....

It doesn't hurt that Gilmoure created the greatest guitar solo ever for this song.

Some of the best guitar ever from these guys.

One of my favourite songs of Pink Floyd,s and every time I listen to it , sends shivers through me especially Gilmore's guitar solo,s , thanks for sharing beautiful lady ♥️

Ahhhh... The unmistakable "Pink Floyd Look" flowed across your stunning face! You will NEVER be the same, this is music to set your soul free to soar, intertwined in it's ethereal waves. Sincerely, this music is life changing for all of us! I saw their 2nd to last tour in Seattle. Then their final tour up in Vancouver BC. As good as the former was, that final was truly epic, mythic even in scope. Do yourself a favor and rent the Pulse DVD, you'll be glad you did! Can't wait to see all the musical places you explore, be well, be blessed, be happy....always.

David Gilmore, the only man who plays his guitar though his soul.

PLEASE, see a live version of this song.

I can only say this beautiful lady makes listening to these greats even better and my wife agrees....

It always blows my mind how many emotions you can feel just by listening to music.

Pink Floyd - Echoes

To listen to Pink Floyd properly I recommend a spare hour lying on the settee with headphones and playing the whole album (The Wall) on a quiet afternoon. Picking individual tracks loses some of the intended experience.

This song is almost 50 years old, and yet it seems more relevant than ever in these trying times! David Gilmore is one of the most emotionally expressive guitarists in Rock music. His guitar strings literally set your heartstrings vibrating in sympathetic modulation. This is a song about isolation and addiction, especially as experienced by a burned out artist. This is yet another reference to their founder, Syd Barrett, who suffered a total mental collapse early in their career.

David Gilmour ... the man, the guitar, the LEGEND.

Hola, acabo de ver tu reaccion al escuchar esta grandiosa cancion, casi te salen lagrimas, cada vez que escucho esta cancion siento una coneccion con mi padre fallecido, a mi hijo le dije que en el dia de mi funeral, deben escuchar esta cancion, saludos desde Chile !

look at they're Live Concerts. you will find a live version as its a bit of a signature track now. those were the days

Pink Floyd always takes you on an unexpected emotional journey

The look on your face @5:30 was" I finally understand and the universe falls into place. Priceless

Amazing song, you should react to the live version next. I would also advise listening to the whole album The Wall which this is from. Pink floyd liked to connect their songs in their albums 👌👍

Welcome to Pink Floyd

Oh my, Any time I see someone moved by music like this, it warms my heart.

Please don't stop here. The entire album is a masterpiece

the album "the wall" is a whole storyline. It is a kid growing up who becomes a musician. The musician becomes a drug addict and detached from his audience. Hence, he is "comfortably numb". The line "can you hear me" shows he is "out of it" and he gets an injection ("just another pinprick") in order to keep going ("can you stand up / that will get you through the show"). In order the understand the lyrics, you need to place it in the context of the whole album. The song "Mother" shows how he grew up with the fears of his mother instilled in him ("mother put all of her fears into you"). The album starts with an airplane coming down (representing his father being killed and growing up with a single mother) and the baby crying representing his birth. The whole album is the life story of Roger Waters (basist and song writer).

Your reaction has given me a whole new experience listening to this masterpiece. Thank you.

Pink Floyd will bring out all kinds of emotions

Pink Floyd is simply the greatest band ever and Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece. I've been fortunate enough to have seen them live three times. I also saw Roger solo three times and Dave solo four times! I'll never forget being 10th row at the LA sports arena and Dave was standing on top of "The Wall" playing the Comfortably numb solo!!

You don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them, just like you did. I watch many PF reactions and honestly, most people simply don't "get it". You obviously did. Also, thanks for not pausing. Listen to the entire Dark Side Of The Moon album...it will literally change your life. ENJOY!!

What listening to music is all about...to feel things. So happy you like the Floyd. Closest thing I got to religion anyway

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky. May be one of the greatest examples of pure musical talent ever recorded.

When you`re in it,you`re in it....

'GREAT GIG IN THE SKY', LANDMARK RECORDING, DONE WITHOUT SCRIPTING OR DIRECTION ON 2ND TAKE

Such a lovely reaction! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you feel the song! Try ‘Money’ next, trust me, you will LOVE!! A great jam with another one of David Gilmour’s best guitar solos! Cheers lovely! 🔥 - Andy

After over 40 years of listening to this music I still get chills going up my spine when I hear the first few bars of this song. And it still moves me to tears.

I love to see the reaction to the music that I have been Listening my whole life I’m 68 years young and the music and concert I have been to was worth it...... I love MUSIC

The live PULSE version of this from 1994 is another level with Gilmour's extended outro guitar solo.

I hear this song,(especially the guitar solos)from the bones out. If that makes sense to you then you've probably heard it that way yourselves. 😁

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, this is so pure .....

Now you see how true music evokes such emotion from anyone.

Legit the same reaction I had when I first listened to it

P.s. welcome to Pink Floyd in all they are. Epic!

You don’t listened to Pink Floyd songs you experience them! Great Gig in the Sky, Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Enjoy your journey!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

One of the best songs ever. ❤️ this song. You are awesome 😊.

On your own watch the Pulse live version of this. The light show is gorgeous and the guitar solo is much longer. You’ll love it. 👍❤️

you should listen to On The Turning Away I would love to see and hear your reaction

Comfortably numb has always been my favorite Pink Floyd song. I loved watching you experience this iconic song for the first time... you should watch the whole movie…

Your reaction to the first part of the song... I've never seen someone have an out-of-body experience and take their body with them. Awesome!

The song is an almost Shakespearean/Nietzschean celebration of the tragic view of life. Sad and yet life affirming. The look on your face said it all. There are live versions that you will enjoy.

It's so wonderful to see you enjoy this great music so much.💕 Have pity on young people who do not know this kind of music exists. 🤷‍♂️

Welcome to Pink Floyd. One of the greatest bands to come out of Britain. Timless music. Flawless Talent. Worldwide appeal. Enjoy!

Oh honey, we understand. When David Gilmour begins to sing it's like an angel whispering in your ear. Then his guitar reaches deep inside you and pulls out your heart, shreds it to pieces, then somehow puts it back together again. I don't understand it either. He does all this without laying a finger on you, with only the crying of his guitar. How?!?! We'll never know. Sometimes, certain geniuses are allowed to capture lightning in a bottle I guess. That is why there is a tear running down your cheek, even when no words are spoken. The music says it all. ❤

You're on a roll, Mo!... I know you're going to get fans of bands and performers to plead that you do the live version (concert footage) of songs, but from a purely musical standpoint, the studio recording is nearly 100% of the time the best version of a song from any band or performer. If you want to react to VIDEOS of bands and performers, then live (concert footage) is the way to go. If you want to react to MUSIC from bands and performers, then the studio recording is the way to go.

Comfy numb isn't on Dark Side of the Moon.

Comfortably Numb is about as close to rock perfection as you will ever hear. Even if you aint a Floyd fan you have to admire this song.

I had the great honour of feeling this in concert 1994 Toronto. WOW!
