In a recent interview with Wired, Waters shared more about the song and his reason for re-releasing it in this new version.
“‘Comfortably Numb’—going back to the original song,” Waters said, “it’s about being controlled by being injected with drugs to numb you.” Translating that theme for modern-day struggles, he said that social media can have the same effect, acting as a form of emotional anesthesia.
Transforming the 1979 Pink Floyd song into a politically charged protest and call for solidarity with Gaza, Waters replaces the original meditation on emotional numbness with an active pledge: “I will never become comfortably numb.”
In addition to sharing news about the song, Waters addressed the backlash he’s received after voicing criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
As for the song, Waters hopes fans hear something “prophetic.”
