I heard it today!
It is a song I can always find the time to let it massage me brain.
Hopefully find some LSD or Weed, hopefully the LSD. Haven't tripped in weeks! Time for a guitar sesh. Weed will work, though.
Thank you for asking!
Plans are still technically in the air, yoo, I suppose. :shrugs:

Great feeling? I mean, yeah, sometimes. If you really listen to the song though I don't think, at the bottom of it, he's too happy about being Comfortably Numb. I mean he sings it in a beautiful way, much the way Radiohead will sing about sad/scary moments and headspaces in beautiful ways, but I don't think Roger Waters and Pink Floyd are in any way calling being Comfortably Numb a great feeling at all..
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.
Sounds like a pretty terrible place to me.

I agree... The song does not portray a good side of drugs, It seems to be more about drug abuse than feeling good. Although it is a very powerful song, I still get those warm tingly feelings when I hear it.

I don't think the song is about drugs. I mean, drugs are a part of it...but there's a much larger story at play on The Wall.

definitely... To me, the wall is our Ego. Drugs can play a role in aiding the destruction of our ego.but behind all that, there is a much bigger picture than just drugs.
