UPDATE: so the mass consensus is we must do the album version so that is what we will do very soon! Sorry all for getting the name wrong of the original singer. I must have been thinking about Nightwish at that moment but yes, her name was Clare Torry.
WolfKain, I'm working on a cover of Pink Floyd's "Fearless" as we speak. I'm not done mixing the vocals but I'll link it to you somewhere when it's complete. Nearly there. More of a rock/space vibe than their stripped-down acoustic original.
Who ever knew she was just as white as Wolf?
@@patrickrasmussen2666 nice, looking forward to it 💪
Consider a study of Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.
@@T1hitsTheHighestNote what does that mean?🤔
Best reaction to a Floyd song I've ever seen. Beautiful stuff. Beautiful people as well.
Mwah!😘😘💖
This is nice but nothing can compare to the original singing riff of Claire Torrey on the album. She killlllllllllled the death sequence to the rapture.
That's what I was thinking too. There is something extra to a live version, but even w/ picking 3 different singers to share the vocals (because the song is apparently exhausting to sing, because singing isn't quite what it is, you have to pull these vocals from your core), not one of them could even hold a candle to the original Claire Torrey. Unfortunately, the only live version I found w/ Torrey singing it is vocal only and didn't have video of it.
Yeah, this would've been amazing to hear live, but the original singer absolutely destroyed it - made me super emotional the first time I ever heard it.
Ab-so-lutely. I couldn't agree more with all 3 of you.
Even this cover version with 2 singers is better than that one. Amazing cover of Pink Floyd's "Great Gig In The Sky" by The Australian Pink Floyd Show.

Claire torrey was getting constantly asked to go to the studio but she was busy finally she went down there not knowing who she was singing for and they never explained what they wanted she improvised and done her own thing. 12 months later she walked past a record shop and seen a sign 'New Pink Floyd album out now so she went in and bought it believe it or not.
Rest In Peace, Richard! You and Clair left yours footprint in the world of music. Thanks a lot for both of you!
I tear up every single time that I listen to this song.
Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is said to be life, that's why the album starts with a heartbeat. Life progresses through the different songs. This song is supposed to be experiencing the loss of your parents. The vocals represent the five stages of grief.
I just lost my father and I sobbed like a baby. My dad was my hero in my life!
Your reaction was beautiful. Had me in tears. Pink Floyd is like no other music there is. Thank you for being free enough to share that. Peace
Maybe it's good she didn't hear the studio version first, that would have ravaged her soul. Now she's better prepared.
Doesn't matter. Her souls shredded no matter the version. Songs for its own power, no matter the presentation
That was supposed to be has it's own power. Auto corrects evil.
.......Yup...in a good way
Don't be embarrassed. I cry every time I hear this song. This is pure emotion that digs much deeper into your psyche than any words could.
Yeesss!! It definitely digs deep!💖
The song was meant to be a vocal expression of the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Pink Floyd and Clare Torry did an exceptional job of interpreting. The song is meant to evoke deep emotions, and it does.
Also, it was only done in 2 takes which is really unbelievable!
@@davidstufflebean3285 No. They only ran through the song start to end twice, once they decided how it would go. It took the singer a little while to find the right voice that Floyd was looking for. Once she hit the right groove the did two full takes and it was a wrap. That doesn't mean they ran through many partial takes.
@@rstrid5505she was paid 8 quid and a bottle of Heineken also
@B Davis You are actually agreeing with me but my scatter brain got the better of me again. I was trying to say they did some partial takes in addition to the two full takes but I was drunk and I type too fast. I sometimes leave out words because my brain gets ahead of my fingers. the last sentence should have said, "That doesn't mean they didn't run through many partial takes." Sorry for the confusion. I did not know how many partials there were but I did remember reading somewhere that it did happen.
Clare Torry then Sued Pink Floyd for Royalties.
The Great Gig is such an amazing song.. It doesn't have words, but it speaks to you. Sistah, you need to listen to the album version.
Sooo powerful and moving& emotional😭😭and every single time I hear this intensely deep from the soul masterpiece I cry and cry…
HalfLifeSistah seems to have the same neurological connections I have: certain musical notes activate our tear ducts. Since first hearing this song on the album in the very early 1970s, my eyes have always been blurry after hearing this tune -- not really a song since it doesn't have lyrics, simply raw emotions as the means of communication. I love y'all's sensitivity, musical knowledge, and fearless showing of your emotions. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the emotion! Beautiful watching you two.
I get it. Been listening to this song for over 45 years and it still stirs emotions within my soul. Too bad you never heard it live in a stadium with 70,000 people. You could hear a pin drop....profoundly hypnotic. The experience has never left me.
I hope you both realize how special the love you share is. I enjoy watching Wolf watch Sistah and the love in his eyes for her is magnificent. This song for me is birth to death. And, one of my favorites. You guys are a breath of fresh air. I love watching people who really love, love everything. Peace.
The blond backup singer is Sam Brown who had her own music career going on at this time. She was a "Pop" singer in the UK and had a #1 hit single entitled "Stop". She jumped at the chance to work with Pink Floyd for this concert and, I think, she also worked several concerts with them just before this concert series at Earls Court. That is how respected Pink Floyd was back in the day. Artists were willing to put their own careers on hold just for a opportunity to work with these guys.
I love Sistah's reactions, so raw, so beautiful. Thats why i love music, depending on what you listen to, it always alters your mood in one way or another
you can tell you two genuinely make each other happy
Mwah!! ♥
Great performance I love listening to the various live versions and wow what a reaction thanks x
Oh jeez you made me cry too!!! You & I feel like I just listened to this song for the first time you guys are so cute & made me a fan of your channel
I have been listening to this song for 40+ years and I still get goosebumps, choked up, tears. This is what GREAT music does.
I've been listening to this song for most of my life, and this album came out the year I was born, and it still gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
Wow Sistah you are absolutely transported when you listen to great music like this, and when it's a song that I know and love it's fantastic watching you react; I end up feeling the song on a new level. There were tears in my eyes as I watched this actually.
The *original vocalist* from the album was *Clare Torry.* Pink Floyd had the music down but couldn't put lyrics to this song. Then they brought Torry in to do background vocals for this song. Still, *Pink Floyd (Roger Waters & David Gilmour)* still didn't write the lyrics. Torry said let her hear what they had. She listened a few times & decided to record her voice just like an instrument. Torry did 2 takes. On the 3rd take, she told *Alan Parsons (yes, that Alan Parsons from The Alan Parson's Project,* who engineered the Dark Side sessions) during the 3rd take, she can't do it no more. Torry said you got my best. Then Torry left the studio for a party. She found out months later at a record store that Floyd used her vocals (two takes) for this song. Years later, she sued for extra royalties & a song writing credit for the "lyrics".
Yup, having recently been in San Francisco and Portland OR, they both have Pink Floyd shows at the planetarium!
Pink Floyd 'Shine on you crazy diamond' (parts 1-9) Echoes, really anything Floyd. It's just really great music. I love yalls vids! I've been through numerous reaction videos, and NO ONE TOPS SISTAH AND WOLF! And I'm crying too damnit!
Oh, baby 😮😢 Thank you for the love and support. I appreciate you🤗😘😘💖
Joshua Haddock wish they do echoes
Totally agree with Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Easily the one of the best composed rock songs of all time. To me, it's as close to a classical music composition you're going to get in the rock genre.
Dont forget dogs
My favourite reaction video ever, this is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs and i love how emotional it makes you as I feel the same way every time I listen to it. ❤️
Beautiful. Been listening to Floyd for so long, it was great to experience hearing it for the first time with you.
Wow, I really enjoyed your reaction, very emotional, great commentary AND of course, Pink Floyd! It was fantastic 😊
😀🤗😘💖
40 years later and i still tear up every time i hear it, and i've heard it 10 million times.
I have followed Pink Floyd since they started in the late sixties and saw them many times. This is still one of my favourite tracks of all times and listening to it never fails to bring tears to my eyes, not because it's sad but for the beauty of the music and the incredible vocal contribution by Claire Torry, which she created just listening to the backing track and got down in a single take!
If you don't cry when you hear this, you're already dead! Cry away Sistah, you're in good company! x
When Richard Wright, the keyboardist, died in 2008, it was this song that was sung at his funeral by Durga Mc Broom,one of the Backgroundsinger from the Pink Floyd World Tour. This was his express wish during his lifetime. The rumor persists that none other than Jon Lord accompanied on the piano.
Awwww, your reaction to this was so lovely, and heartfelt and honest. It is one of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear in your life. You have to listen to the whole album from beginning to end, though. Use headphones or some really great speakers, get yourself really comfy and prepare to have your mind blown.
Mmmmmwwwwaaahhh! 🤗💖
I think she's a doll! Pure emotion can't be faked! I cry to music all the time! It hits my nerve endings and gives me goosebumps. I love ya both!
Thank you🤗💜
Enjoyed the video and glad you enjoyed the song, its fun sharing something you love that is new to someone else
Sistah, you are the most beautiful soul . Love this
The Moody Blues “Nights in White Satin” another beautiful early progressive rock song!!
What I adore about her reactions. Is they are honest reactions. Her actions remind me a lot of how I felt the first time I heard these songs when I was a young . Is very melancholy on my part
hey guys. This and so many of there songs are just soul deep and they truly touch you. Big thumbs up for a great reaction.
Wow! Best reaction I have ever seen. I truly adore you! Thank you. I'm a Pink Floyd fan from the begining. Beautiful music.
Pink Floyd is generally considered …. to be one of the best bands ever. No discussion ! Timeless. Genius. When i grew up, if somebody got a new "Stereo" set up, Pink Floyd would ALWAYS be the test reference. I have so many memories throughout my life, with a Pink Floyd Soundtrack. And btw you 2 almost in a way kinda did restore a tiny little bit of my believe in marriage. I did understand correctly, that you 2 are married ?! Greetings from Germany ;-)
Oh … but Gilmour didn't take Waters Job, they were both in the band from the beginning. Then Waters left, and the Rest kept going for a while. Think i got that right … ?!
Yes we are married, for 15 years. How did we help you, in the marriage aspect?😃🤗🤗😘💖
+Markus Jentzsch Watch Owen Benjamin (an American comedian) on his channel. He'll restore the rest of it, if any one can. His wife Amy is on his podcast here and there and they fought hard to have their marriage as solid as it is now, 2 kids and a 3rd on the way, because they were both living a messed up LA lifestyle when they met. Owen has one hell of a story, whether it's to do his now awesome family life, or his getting kicked out of Hollyweird where he once headlined stadiums and co-starred in movies and tv shows, because...
@@markusjentzsch7932 Actually David Gilmour wasn't in the band at the beginning. He basically took Syd Barrett's place.
You are absolutly right. But since the only Pink Floyd Album that i can't get down with is Ummagumma (?), Waters/Gilmour and the others were Pink Floyd to me. Barrett surely was a crucial influence, but … whatever, you are correct :-D
Should've definitely done the original Clare Torry album version as opposed to a more recent live performance. So much cleaner and more emotional. Simply amazing...
Disagree. I've heard all the versions and this by far to me is the most emotional and nobody beats Sam Brown. Clare's is great too, but it's too repetitive.
I remember watching that reaction video when you released it, I thought it was such a great, heartfelt, reaction. Now YT brings it back to me, like the tide, and I still think the same, even the most emotional I've seen. Beautifully touching.
Beautiful video - great that you’re not afraid to show your emotions - I love Pink Floyd and they’re the only band that can bring tears to my eyes. The live version of Comfortably Numb on Roger Waters The Wall Live Blu-Ray gets me going every time.
Would love to see more PF reactions from you. Maybe even the whole of Dark Side would be great to see you experience that.
I feel your tears, sister. When I was a teenager in the 70's, I used to lie on the floor between two speakers, listen to this song, and cry out all the pain in my life. Songs like this helped me survive. It still makes me cry every time. Even now, there are tears in my eyes. Art can change our lives, lift us up beyond anything. So glad you had the chance to experience this. * BIG HUG *
Me Too!!! An outer body experience.
She needs to hear an EPIC. Dream Theater-A Change of Seasons, Genesis-Supper's Ready, Pink Floyd- Echoes, Symphony X- The Odessey or almost any of Transatlantic's long songs.
I wish someone would react to Change of Seasons if Sista did that her emotions would be all over the place lol.
It's very true. The 1970s Pink Floyd albums really need to be listened to as the entire album, one song really flows into another. From "Dark Side of the Moon," to "Wish You Were Here," to "Animals," all 3 albums are highly conceptual, where the individual songs are excellent, but when listened to in the order originally designed by the artists, who did whatever it took, and spared no expense to get exactly what they wanted, taking over a year to record and produce a single album in the 1970s, listening to the album as a whole is a true experience, and the time will fly by.
simply loved sistah's reaction. love you two.
Agreeing with so many here that Claire Torrey's original is so much better. In part because it is just a voice crying in the wilderness, like an ancient prophetess. So powerful. Floyd had an amazing talent for capturing the sense of infinite space, the universe arcing about you, the music of the spheres...
LASERIUM!!! OMG, I went to see those shows at the Griffith Park Planetarium in the late 70's. I miss those shows so much. Mind-blowing, we would stagger out of the building afterwards and sit out on the lawn, looking up at the universe above us. The Pink Floyd show was fabulous. Man, SUCH MEMORIES.
The way you react to beautiful music makes me think you NEED to hear Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Dark Side of the Moon is about the things that challenge you in life.
TOUCHES THE SOUL in the best way! Brings back such emotions of my youth.
Hey guys. I just wanted to say thank you both. Your channel is a lot of fun. I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd so this was a really great video for me
our voice is the only instrument we all can play
Wonderful comment from both of you, I feel the same with Pink Floyd. The emotion, brings you to another space, another level. PF is the only band that does that to me. Maybe Shine on you crazy Diamond is the next song? Make sure to tell the (rather sad) story behind it, it makes listening to the song that much more of a complete experience. Keep it going guys!
Killing it Sistah..just beautiful reaction..x
This song is very special to me. I introduced my younger brother to Pink Floyd, and they became our favorite band. Together, we learned to play music and form a band. He died in a car accident at age 39. I played this song, (original recording), at his funeral. The recorded vocal statements suited him so well...."I'm not afraid of dying. Why should I be? There's no point in it, we've all got to go sometime".
I barely got through his eulogy, then hit play. I lost it, and think everyone else did, too. I cry every time I hear this song, yet this does not make it depressing. "Wish You Were Here" does the same thing to me. When a beautiful piece of music makes you cry, it reminds and reconnects you to your humanity. Something more people need to do these days.
When listening to this I always imagine a person on his/her deathbed going through the five stages of death and dying - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance before he/she heads off to The Great Gig in the Sky. The vocalisation seems to emote these stages as it progresses. Great to see you being introduced to another one of my favourites. Of course, the album version is the definitive version.
Wow! A person on death bed... 😮 This song takes is to many places!💖
I agree, this song definitely feels like the five stages of grief.
Great video, although I think the original record is better than this live version. The whole Dark side of the moon album makes me alternate between chills and tearing up whenever I listen to it.
Yeah it is...but Sam Brown was amazing ,the part where she "growls" puts the hair up on my arms.
"Time" puts me in tears right from the first line. And the effect only gets deeper as I get older. I've thought about have the line about time having run out put on my tombstone.
I love watching Halflifesista's reactions to songs. She's so openly emotional thank you.
Thank you for this reaction. I've been listening to this song for over 30 years and still get an emotional rush.
Also I have to stress that Clare Torry done it in Two Takes !! ... amazing :)
It's ok honey. It happened to all of us.
This music connects our hearts and emotions.
It lets us realize how beautiful life really is.
One of the greatest songs ever produced. Only way to describe it is life itself from the day your born to the day you your spirt leaves and moves on. Ive seen Pink Floyd twice in concert back in the eighties and I was never disappointed with their performance. The light show itself was amazing. God bless you both..
love the channel!
studio version is way better
Our host was obviously quite familiar with the original studio version, so it boggles my mind that he would choose this much, much later live version. So now the impression on his partner (and other first time listeners) has been tainted. Sacrilege.
xDDDDD We hear y'all ;) Wolf is already preparing a versus reaction, for the studio version, heh heh heh ;) ♥
@@HalfLifeSistah I'm sticking around for that! Subbed.
@@mojobag01 haha, awesome! I hope I enjoy it, as much as I did this one 😀💖
@@HalfLifeSistah but now she knows what to expect :c
The song is a about child birth. In the beginning of the 3rd singer you can hear i never said i was afraid of dying. But its very hard to hear so listen carefully. The whole album is about life. Begins with a heartbeat and ends with a heartbeat. What does our life consist of. Time. Money. Child birth. On the run. War. Us and them. Getting old Brain damage. Epic album. Concept album
When I saw the title, I knew there would be tears of beauty in this reaction. Love the "deep feels" going on. Great reaction!
It's crazy, I've heard this song so many times, but never this version. Was pretty cool experiencing it along with you. Very honest human reaction, thx for sharing. Peace
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Live Pulse, Please
Vladimir Matijevic definitely!!!! I got to go to that concert.
listen to david gilmour live pompeii 2016/comfortably numb. It is more amazing
She's done it, and her crying is even more powerfull, a telluric wave of emotion ;-)
You should definitely do Comfortably Numb from the same concert :) Also, Echoes, either the studio version or the one called 'Final "Echoes"performance with Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)' (surpasses the original in my opinion).
Finally, I know it maybe difficult due to copyright but try to do an album reaction (like "Wish you were here"), that's how Pink Floyd are meant to be heard, the songs in each album are connected and feel like a journey.
I was 19 years old in 1973 when this album came out. I was always mesmerised by the Beautiful, passionate and emotional vocals of this song. But your reaction to it overwhelmed me. So touching!
When he say what you feel, when sayid that, i where like....
EMOTIONAL, didn’t start cry, but definitely got some tears in my eyes, love this number, both studio and live.
It’s definitely have more feelings live, but either way this are a unspoken/singing more like a yelling masterpiece, never have yelling been more beautiful!
Studio Version....WAY.....WAY.....BETTER!!!!
You mean Pulse album? Because yes every song is better on Pulse than the original Dark side of the moon album.
Well..it depends. Live is always deeper if it comes to feel, just ur eyes can feel it as well.
Beautiful
Thank you, sugah🤗😘💖
I have to say that your Megadeth video reactions were great. Great job to both of you on Halloween week.
You two are so cute! Your reaction videos are awesome. I don't have anyone to share my music passions with, especially my new Pink Floyd passions. Your videos help me connect. Keep going!
That was the best reaction I’ve seen , beautiful. Thanks 🙏
i cry too ... everytime i listen ... and that s not the only one song ...
Hi, Sunshine! What orget songs make you cry?💖
Looking forward to your reaction to Clare Torry.. Just the same, that was a beautiful reaction.. great music does that to me as well..She gets it! :) Thank you. cheers!
Sistah, you touch my heart. Great to see your reactions
wow i have seen Floyd twice in concert and have never seen someone get so emotional as me but now i have for that reason im going to subscribe as long as you promise to do a momentary lapse of reason some time there is no one doing this album and its so underrated beautiful reaction
I'll be the first of many to make 2 points: 1. Your information is wrong. The singer is Claire Torrey. 2. You need to do the studio version of this. No human can do justice to this song and reproduce Claire's vocals.
I will never understand why so many UA-cam Reactioners insist on doing live versions.
Thank you for the correction 🤗💖
I believe it's all about copyright. Album cuts are prohibited but in concert videos are not.
I'd like to clarify that I'm glad you enjoyed this video but you are simply missing out on the intensity of the original track. It is unique and should be experienced. Once you hear it, I suspect you will agree that this video was good but the original is simply epic. ua-cam.com/video/cVBCE3gaNxc/v-deo.html
Rachel Fury comes close........just close.
Wow eso es emoción de verdad, no se puede esperar menos de Pink Floyd. Genial
Isn't Sister just the sweetest and most open soul you have ever seen! First of your posts I have ever seen and you have won my heart!
Hey there. I have just Liked & Subscribed even before the song has played.... I just know you're both beautiful, interesting people.
Love from Scotland, love to all good folks.
Even though this is great it still fails in comparison to the studio version of Dark Side on the Moon and Clare Tory singing on the album is epic. She does alone what it took three girls on stage to do and much more soulful If you think you were crying before it's nothing compared to the album version . Listen and review it
Raw emotion is exactly what Pink Floyd elicits. Any Pink Floyd fan, if they are being honest, will have had a similar reaction to one of their songs at some point.
There is a great clip on the Classic Album series "The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon" DVD where Richard Wright (R.I.P.) says that Clare Torry came out the vocal booth in tears saying she was sorry that she did so badly(she thought she flubbed it anyway) and the band members quite assured her that what she pulled off was brilliant. Nice story. Also incredible track by track breakdown, not just each song, but the layers involved musically and vocally that made each track. By the original producer himself, the man Alan Parsons not his "Project".LOL.Cheers from the canadian Queen nut. Great reaction btw.
So happy I found you guys.
She is PRICELESS.
welcome to the journey.
You need to let her hear the album version!
Don't worry, I don't cry very often, and this song tends to make my eyes water, so it's definitely not unwarranted in this case! lol
Really great reaction and enjoyed your commentary and breakdown of the song.. would love to see more reactions to pink floyd, especially songs of darkside or even the entire album. Time is a must for you two, please!
I love what you guys are doing,bringing the talented music of my youth to anyone who never heard!!!!! Keep up the great work!!! Dio Forever!!!!!
Sistah
Love you, too🤗💖
I know this is late, but ... This was beautiful. Yes I am a metal fan, but PINK FLOYD owned the seventy's. This was great. I totally love you Guy's. You hit me right where it counts at just the right time😊. Luv ya keep em com in' ❤
Awww girl now you making me cry. The thing is i needed a good cry and thanking you for inspiring it. Wow this is cool
I've heard this for 30+ years, still raises emotions, it is a great work of art, for me it is about life, from great sadness to overwhelming joy. Seeing this bring you to tears brought me to tears with you, thanks for sharing your reaction. I've heard quite a few different versions, my top 3 are the original with Clare Torry, the version from Delicate sound of Thunder, and the one you just watched.
☺🤗🤗🤗💖
Completely pitch dark room + headphones + Dark Side of the Moon album = a non-denomenational religious experience!
Optional but recommended addition: funny tasting mushrooms 🍄 or those tiny square pieces of paper ◽👅
Wolf I just want to say treat your woman awesome and I know you do because she is a goddess man she's beautiful love this channel continue to do what you do and you picked Pink Floyd thank you very much the Great Gig in the sky is a great song for anybody to try to listen to Pink Floyd thank you again
YOU'RE beautiful, baby 😃 Thank you for the love and support🤗😘💖🤘🏾
@@HalfLifeSistah i will always
Music can ground us. So many things in our lives make us confused, we get lost in little things, we forget where and what and who we are a thousand times before each day is done. Music can call us out from the noise and we return to what is most fundamental and universal in our existence as humans: sorrow, longing, desire, passion, creation, loss, etc. Music reminds us that we are, and this is what you two show us all, with such class and thoughtfulness and generosity of spirit. You two rock!
Love you guys! Great chemistry together! 💗
