Elizabeth Zharoff is the Charismatic Voice. Last week I posted her hearing Rush’s Spirit Of Radio for the first time, and as expected, that led to a rabbit hole of her videos. So when I saw she did Comfortable Numb, I had to watch. Her analyzation of the song is fascinating. Usually I don’t want to spoil anything in the video, but I feel there are a few thigs to warn you about. First, she admits to knowing nothing about Pink Floyd. This is important to note as she doesn’t know who is who in the band, and does get some things wrong. She also admits she head Comfortably Numb before, in a car. In the video she watches the Pulse performance; not MY favorite live performance, but a Pink Floyd live performance. She really gets into the song, and really GETS the song and performance. Oh, one more warning….she does stop the video she’s watching right at the start of David Gilmour’s first solo, and during the second solo as well. it was jarring the second time, so I thought you should be ready for it. Oh, and if you’re like me, you’re going to want to listen to the song without commentary right after you watch.
