Roger Waters and Pink Floyd Dedicate Song to Palestine

Pink Floyd co-founder and bassist Roger Waters has collaborated with Palestinian-American singer Mona Miari to reimagine the band's iconic song "Comfortably Numb." This musical project is dedicated to the Palestinian people and their ongoing fight for independence.

The newly released music video for "Comfortably Numb," which dropped on Wednesday, June 12, 2026, starkly portrays the devastation in Gaza. Scenes of widespread destruction, formerly residential areas and city blocks, are shown alongside images of survivors striving to rebuild their lives. The visuals emphasize the resilience and determination of the people of Gaza amidst profound hardship.

After what happened, no one is left. There are no words left, what's the point of asking? Everything is lost. Home, oh beloved home. The night became silent and collapsed. Oh, beloved home, tell him.

In this rendition, Waters delivers the opening verses with a more somber tone. Miari responds in Arabic, her lyrics conveying the profound sense of loss experienced due to the conflict. Her lines translate to sentiments of emptiness, the futility of questioning, and the devastation of losing one's home, with the night falling into silence and collapse.

Waters' subsequent verses acknowledge the widespread impact of the Palestinian struggle, noting that their cries can be heard as far away as New York, crossing oceans. Miari's contribution also expresses hope and dreams for freedom for the Palestinian people, adding a layer of aspiration to the song's message of sorrow and endurance.
