Scissor Sisters: Comfortably Numb

Scissor Sisters son un grupo neoyorkino que alcanzaron bastante éxito con su primer lp, Return to Oz. Su mezcla de estilos y la irreverencia que demuestran les hace sencillamente encantadores.

Obviamente el tema es una desvergonzada versión del genial tema sobre drogas que Roger waters y David Gilmour compusieron para Pink Floyd .

Comfortably Numb

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 cant 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. [ping]
Therell be no more –aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its 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 cant 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.

Aquí va la misma canción (en una versión mucho más fiel al original) interpretada por la increíble guitarra de David Gilmour Y la castigada voz de David Bowie. Además es una de las últimas apariciones de Rick Wright, el genial teclista de Pink Floyd recientemente fallecido. Los pelos de punta.

One thought to “Scissor Sisters: Comfortably Numb”

  1. Muy buen post, muchas gracias. Siempre es agradable conocer la historia de las canciones que a uno le molan. Yo desconocía el original de pink floyd. Diferente.
