“Comfortably Numb Re-imagined” has Waters collaborating with Palestinian artist Mona Miari, and features new verses in both English and Arabic.
According to the description posted with the song's video, "[T]he work reframes the song through themes of displacement, memory, loss, and the enduring pursuit of justice and human dignity. ... [T]his audio-visual piece transcends borders and languages, offering a powerful reflection on resilience, truth, and the shared humanity that binds us all."
"Comfortably Numb Re-imagined" is now available via digital outlets. Proceeds from the song will benefit the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.
"Comfortably Numb," written by Waters and David Gilmour, appeared on Pink Floyd's 11th studio album, 1979's The Wall. Released as a single in 1980, it has gone on to be one of the band's most popular tunes.
