More than 4 decades after it's original release, Roger Waters has given us a new version of Comfortably Numb.
"During lockdown, I made a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ as an opener for our new show This Is Not a Drill," says Waters.
"I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos – except over the outro chord sequence, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful female vocal solo from Shanay Johnson, one of our new singers.”
'Comfortable Numb' was released in 1980 and still, four decades later is considered one of Pink Floyd’s best-known songs and remains a big part of Waters touring shows.
