Música: Comfortably Numb
Estreando a nova caixa de música do blog (à direita, abaixo da frase do dia), partilho convosco aquela que é, para mim, uma das melhores canções jamais feitas. Aquel@s que tiverem curiosidade para a perceber, verão que letra é de uma actualidade impressionante, um autêntico retrato melancólico do desalento. Quase insopurtavelmente triste, mas tão belo, tão belo, que chega a doer na alma, quando o poema acaba e David Gilmour ataca aquele magnífico solo de guitarra. Espero que gostem!
Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd
Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
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 receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what youre sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more -- aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what youre sayin'.
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.
Album: The Wall (1980)
