"Numb" is the thirteenth and final song on the 2003 album Meteora by the rock band Linkin Park, and is also the album's third single.
"Numb" is the third track from U2's 1993 album, Zooropa and was released as the album's first single. The song is a repeating, monochordic mantra sung by The Edge with a drumbeat sampled from the Leni Riefenstahl film Olympia. "Numb" also features backing vocals by Bono and Larry Mullen, Jr.
"Numb" is a song recorded by Pet Shop Boys and is featured on their album Fundamental. It was released on 16 October 2006 as the third single from that album, peaking at #23 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2006 in British music). It is only their second single in 39 releases to miss the UK Top 20 (the other being "Was It Worth It?" from 1991, which peaked at #24).
The ballad was widely used throughout the year, mainly in an edited version used in a montage for England's elimination from the 2006 FIFA World Cup on the BBC Match of the Day programme in early July 2006.
