Roger Waters Releases New Version of ‘Comfortably Numb’
Roger Waters has released a new version of “Comfortably Numb,” the iconic Pink Floyd track from their 1979 album The Wall.
The new “Comfortably Numb” is accompanied by a bleak video showing an apocalyptic cityscape. Toward the end of the video, a pig can be seen floating in the sky, a nod to the 1977 Pink Floyd album cover for Animals.
Waters said in a statement about the new recording, “Before lockdown I had been working on a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as an opener to our new show ‘This Is Not A Drill.’ I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful vocal solo from one of our new sisters Shanay Johnson.”
