Awesome reaction and explanation brothers. I heard this for the first time when I was 7 years old growing up in Chicago, that was back in the 70s. :-) Listen to how she descibes how it came together and she laid the vocals down in 2.5 takes.

It’s the chaos of dying; letting go of life; realizing one is dead; and the song of the soul as it drifts from life....
All about Frequencies . Frequencies control all life and our Universe . I am not religious but they do say that God is the Light /Sound......Frequencies
Exactly.😘
It isw worth knowing that this songf was meant to be listened to IMMEDIATELY AFTER "Time". One song complements th eother, and that is how it should be listened to.
Like others have said, "If this song is not played at my Funeral? I will not attend".
The Pink Floyd rabbit hole is something you'll never crawl out of
Ooo, I LIKE how you put that
I've been in it for 40 years
Just forget the sun
crawl deeper and deeper forever
And if you're smart, won't want to.
"She's screaming like somebody died." - Give that man the cigar!
The Five Stages of Grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance, articulated here without a single word being sung; it is entirely non-lexical and utterly enthralling.
Very well articulated.
Kubler Ross
err thats a diffrnt pf song!
@@richtensail, no it isn't.
@@musiclover9361 probably just a joking reference to the song Have A Cigar.
The stages of dying...denial, anger, and acceptance.
Pink Floyd’s music takes you places in your mind.
Subbed 🤗
Thank you! Definitely, agreed 100%!!!
👍☺️
hey lynn 🙃
@@geraldherrmann787 Hey there, Gerald 🙃
It's about the death of a parent. It's mid album, therefore mid life. Which is when one generally loses a parent or two.
This album is truly meant to be listened to in order, as a whole. it's about life and death, and death is "the great gig in the sky" - we all have one. Glad that she gave you goosbumps!
Well it isn't death that's 'The Great Gig In The Sky' It's Heaven, that's the great gig in the sky. And it's from the belief that we still have much more music in us to make (metaphorically) even after death, so we must go to that great gig in the sky... So we don't all have a great gig in the sky, hopefully some ppl have a shit gig in the burning pits of hell. All the evil fkrs out there.
Absolutely agree!
sillysid isn't so silly! oh i guess its silkysid...well that doesn't rhyme.
@@jerryb9207 If it helps, I'm not really that silky either. So you could fit that in to a rhyme... It just wont be that relative to anything, lol.
@@AD270479 I just liked what you said Sid. It doesn't have to rhyme :)
This was my husband's favourite track from Dark Side. I lost him 3 years ago and this is such a hard listen for me because it brings up all the emotions I felt and still feel about him and losing him. Only the Floyd can take your pain, put it to music and give you a such a cathartic experience.
This was my dad's favourate too, played it at his funeral as he was cremated.So special to me too.
Sincerist Condolences.
Sorry to hear of your loss, i lost a daughter the pain is still there she loved pink floyd, lost at 5
@@kimtansley1182 I'm so sorry Kim. ❤️
@@sonjaleesloth thank you so much for your words.
Every time I hear this song I cry.. there's no shame.
Some months after recording her part, Clare Tory was walking past a record shop and noticed the new Pink Floyd album in the window. Not knowing if her bit had been used she bought a copy, took it home and played it, to find they had indeed used her performance. An legendary performance on a legendary track from a legendary album by a legendary band.
Thanks for the reaction guys, awesome work.
Thanks for the interesting fact! Much appreciated!
👍
She had to sue Pink Floyd#'s publishers to get a co-composer credit years later even though she improvised the part herself with no real direction.
@@Claymor621 Partly true. She did sue (and rightly won her co-credit) and she did improvise, but she *was* given direction, even if it was only general suggestions. Waters said he told her ""There's no lyrics. It's about dying - have a bit of a sing on that, girl." and Gilmour said "We had to encourage her a little bit. We gave her some dynamic hints: "Maybe you'd like to do this piece quietly, and this piece louder." She did maybe half a dozen takes, and then afterwards we compiled the final performance out of all the bits. It wasn't done in one single take." I think the most amazing thing about her performance is that after it was over, according to many (Pink Floyd members and studio personnel), she was apologetic about her performance which puzzled them because they thought she had been fabulous.
@@johnmrog She only did one take and a half, as she thought with the first one they already had enough.
I was so fortunate as a 15 year old in 1973 to see Pink Floyd live in concert. They played Dark Side Of The Moon, cover to cover, with no stops. Pink smoke, incredible light show. I love so many genres of music, so many bands and performers, but no music has ever touched my soul the way that Pink Floyd has. The best of the best. So happy to see that the younger generation can appreciate my generations music. Great reaction guys
I had to wait 3 more years to see sun light... But I was lucky enough to see them at 18 in 1994... Of course I'd like to have Roger and Roger too, but at least they played Dark Side of the Moon almost entirely, the best show I've ever seen/heard.
This song wakes up your soul, if you accept this song into your heart?
100%
When i die thats what i want to hear and her name is Clare Torrey she is one of the great.

Pink floyd wakes up your soul, and I accept pink floyd and this song Into my being
Rule #1 to listen to Pink Floyd: YOU DO NOT PAUSE PINK FLOYD
Rule #2 to listen to Pink Floyd: LOOK #1
Xactly
...Just listen.................
Rule #3 when Pink Floyd play, nobody talk!!!!!
I think this song is about the 5 stages of grief:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
Except with this song, there are no lyrics, its the sound of pure emotion telling the tale.
The song is about the process of letting go - of EVERYTHING. Letting go of life itself. First fighting to hang on, then angry at recognizing it's truly the end, then gradual acceptance, finally fading away. It just doesn't get more profound than that. The fact it's done without words, just pure emotion, is absolute genius. It speaks to everyone.
The album is a masterpiece because of the perfection of each part.
It ends with the same heartbeat that it began with.
Don't spoil my brother :))
I just flip the vinyl record over and the beat continues back to side 1.
if this song doesn't reach in and grab your soul you don't have one ... still gives me goose bumps
Patrick felt this song and its meaning but was so awestuck by the intro and then Clare Tory exploring the first emotion of death, Anger, so intensely he was fighting the catharsis that results after hearing the song. He has to listen to it again when he is by himself and usually when a crisis occurs to fully accept and work through the emotion and resulting uplifiting and the final part of the meaning of the song, acceptance.
She did THAT in One take
She actually did it in two and a half takes. They used bits from all three. She did an amazing job and while other singers come close, no one can match the sheer emotion Clare brought to this song. And Pink Floyd are geniuses.
I NEVER knew that backstory. Wow. Thank you. It’s wailing. When my Mother died, I did it. It was something within me. I mean, I couldn’t stop. It was so primal; like when we sneeze or have the hiccups. It was like that. And it came out of nowhere. That’s what I think when I hear this. Anyway, fascinating backstory.
They rekon that when she was finished this improvised singing the band walked out the recording studio. She thought they were disappointed in her. Little did she realise they walked out in stunned disbelief
This song follows "TIME" on the album. "TIME" is about the fleeting aspect of our lives, and "GREAT GIG IN THE SKY" carries on with the human journey once our time in flesh has concluded. It is the flight of our souls -- our very being -- that leaves behind the husks of our former lives, all the joy, all the memories, all the pain, even our language, to soar away on the winds of Eternity. Clare Torry's vocals are the soulsong of someone on that journey, and it resonates with that part of us that lies buried within, awaiting the time when it will make that same journey. Listen to these songs in the correct order and it will make perfect sense. Great reaction, guys. Keep 'em coming!
Patrick, your reaction was the most awesome I’ve seen. I saw anger and frustration planted in you by this vocal and you unleashed it to be seen by all. I think that’s exactly what they wanted (as well as other things). If you didn’t know “gig” is slang word for live performance or concert. So “gig in the sky” would be a performers final concert before God. When I first heard this song I understood “gig in the sky” but I couldn’t immediately piece together what I was hearing, although like you I could feel something very much more significant than a great vocal performance. Thanks for sharing your experience for us to see. I never get tired of this song, even after 40 years I get the same reaction every time.
The song begins, " I' m not afraid of dying". This song to me has always been about the knowedge of ones death, the fight, maybe the anger, and at last the acceptance, as the spirit departs.
One of the privileges of this album is listening to it and deciding what it means to you. Listen to it alone. Turn out the lights, put on your best headphones, lay down, let yourself be absorbed by the experience.
Ya, my thoughts xactly.
Gotta have a good pair of headphones so you can hear all the background stuff.
With the lights out, and Maybey just a tad stoned lol
Clare Torry was asked by the band to sing as if she was entering heaven after death,then let her loose.
There was pain,then serenity then finally,peace.
The song is about a person’s life, from birth to death. It connects to the previous song Time at the end where Gilmour sang: “Far away across the field, the tolling of the iron bell. Calls their faith for to their knees, to hear the softly speaking magic spell”, showing all people are afraid of dying.
'A very deep song'. But without lyrics! This defines genius. Great reaction, guys, keep it up.
Thank you, Clare Tory! I've heard she did this in two takes - a warm-up, then the take. Her instructions were to basically express death and loss without using any words. This is what we got. Clare was paid about $100 for the gig. Cheers....
Need to listen to the whole album from start to finish.
We will definitely react to it one day! Thank you!
Those woman is from another planet!!!! 😍😍😍
I was a baby in the crib when this came out and I was pretty much weened on 'The Dark side' by my parents. It's good to see kids my sons age who appreciated music I was born to, almost 50 years ago.
The vocal is made by Clare Torry (to whom, by the way, Pink Floyd initially didn't want to pay the due money). She was asked not to use words and to sing ad lib (as she likes) to the piano background provided by Richard Wright. It took merely two takes to complete that recording. it is about getting to terms with death and accepting it. Towards the end of the track, please listen to an almost-whisper which says "if you can hear this whispering, you're dying".
You are so right.This epic song has more weight when listened in context with the whole album it comes from. Time is about life and Great Gig death. Great emotional reaction!
Thank you very much!
Exactly..... Goosebumps!!!!!! No better way to describe the feeling and emotion of this song.
Clare Torre is a short little tiny white girl! You would never guess from the power of her voice.
Pink floyd goes in... Nd the soul goes out and then you live it till eternity.
They asked her to invoke the feeling of loss/death. Great instincts.
One of the off the cuff prompts from a band member was to think of a mother that had lost her child. Clare Torry stated she didnt know if the band liked her input as not much was said after recording it, the band stated they were overwhelmed by it and were rendered speechless. About the stages of death, I like to think of it as the soul leaving the body but resisting it all the way. DONT LET YOURSELF GO WITH ANY REGRETS.
As others have mentioned she was told to give a vocal impression of dying. You can hear the lamenting of loss in her voice. The sorrow, the joy, the rage, the terror and the ultimate acceptance of her fate.
George,you totally get the point with Floyd.Amazing for someone so young-Well done you!
He talked over the lady saying "yes I am frightened of dying" - it's about how death would be for each of us. It starts with a guy denying that he's afraid of it. Its a confrontation of denial.
Laura robinson is correct. It's about your death then moving toward whatever place you wish to move to.
"Time, it's a matter of time..." yes Pink Flloyd sang about that too...on the same album.
i was lucky enough to see them in concert the show is breathtaking you dont blink for 2 hours and you feel high
3:12 "I have goosebumps all over my body, dude!" hahahaha
Fun fact! Claire Torry was interviewed some years later and asked about what she was paid. She said she was only paid as a session vocalist for a song that became legendary. David Gilmour heard that and turned up at her house with a cheque for £500,000 (Pounds not dollars). Probably worth a million $s in those days.
Dark side of the moon is a work of art. Next year in 2023 it will be 50 years old and still the best music ever heard. It has lasted the test of time, and will still be great in another 50 years.
Thank you for letting your brother experience the deepest song ever like the way he did. He put it so clearly, he felt twice as heavy.... You acknowledged his emotions and made room for him to display his inner feelings. This track demands the listener to do so. It is about the primal human emotion upon the moment one is confronted with their own death. Nothing goes deeper.
This reaction simply was as it is meant to be. ❤
Thank you. I thought no one was going to express that it was about confronting their own death. How do you put that into words. Well, you can't really, but you sure can express it in beautiful sounds. And Clare Tory did a wonderful job.
It’s so amazing. I had the same WTF reaction the first time I heard this song so many years ago. I had to lift the needle from the record because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
Maybe it's the contradiction between the pain of birth, life and death that we all go through and the joy, peace and Love we can all give and receive. The singer possibly represents the pain we all face in life, leaving loved ones behind, pain women go through with child birth and also the moments of joy and beauty we have in life. To then possibly reach the other side, The Great Gig in the Sky.
The album makes us think about our lives, to enjoy each precious moment, truly value our loved ones, never accept violence in our lives, world and futility of war. To follow our true path home and then we don't need to fear death knowing we have made a real difference to bring peace and harmony to this world and beyond. ☮ 🌎 🙏
One of my favourite Pink Floyd songs. Your reaction gave me chills watching you get chills. Her voice is just world class and it's like she is wailing with her grief. I got no words that could compliment this song enough x
This song is about the three stages of death. Anger, Depression and Acceptance. This whole album takes you on a mind trip.
My favorite Pink Floyd song.
She also nailed that on her first shot ... she started a second take and 1/2 way through she stopped and said she thought they had enough there to work with
Best reaction to Great Gig in the Sky. You did Pink Floyd proud.
my fav album of all time
What this song means to me is very simple. The embodiment of grief. In psychiatric circles it is known as DABDA. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a Swiss American psychiatrist did a lot of work with terminally ill patients and wrote a book “On death and dying,” which stated there are 5 stages of dealing with grief. They are Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. This song covers all 5 for me and has been a comfort for many years.
PINK FLOYD: The G.O.A.T. (well at least one of only a few!!)
Great reaction...The story goes that the singer Clare Torry was a session singer brought into do some of the backing for the darkside of the moon album after completion they needed to fill the album as they had a few minutes to spare. So pink floyd asked her to do some oooh aaahs and produced a great solo for all time. A foot note to this she was only paid £50 for the day after the album made zillions she contacted EMI as she thought she desserved more so they sent her a further £100 ....Think she desserves at least a million
"When I listen to this song, there is no one around." is a perfect way to describe how a lot of people feel when listening to it.
This song touches everyone emotionally differently , truly a masterpiece .
a very honest and astounding musical account of the grief process, heartfelt, emotional....perfection!! a song that everybody can take a personal feeling from in their own way...Masterpiece!
Having lost my husband and best friend suddenly at 48, I lived through those stages of grief, but I never interpreted this song that way, until after.... Soul shaking and powerful to say the least....
They asked her to sing as if she had died and was going to heaven...she says everything without saying a word.
I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS FROM THE FIRST DAY IT WAS RELEASED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAVE SOMEONE AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER MADE. THANK YOU. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS THE BEST.....and Clare Torrey singing The Great Gig in the Sky.
she did that in one take. The live version with 3 different singers doing each part is also amazing.
They brought her in strictly for emotion and told her just sing with emotion. The rest is listening history. As always I appreciate you guys the most. Until next time stay well
This is the part where you start to cry (the vocal solo) realizing that you're alive and your airplane crash was just a dream. You can't just forget how it was to die and to be dead in the dream though.
This follows Time for a reason.
The song starts out saying; "I'm not afraid to die. Anytime will do." It's about that Great gig in the sky. I loved your reactions!
Just have to love it. Bro#1 just soaked into the moment, Bro#2 experiences epicness and cannot get what the F he has listened to all his life missing put this.. but Bro’s do not cut in the epicness..... Cut in the passages
No words, just raw emotion.
Captures the whole emotional spectrum of dying.
GreatestSongEver.
Funny thing is is when she sang this she thought she had messed up and PF were like WTF 😎😎
Great Gig in the Sky PULSE LIVE VIDEO
THIS MY FRIENDS IS WHY YOU GO TO THE ORIGINAL 1ST, 2ND TAKE, NO INPUT, DONE! SHE IS TALKING TO GOD!
The guy on the right knows what this song is about before it's played.
But, it's a concept album. This cut is the final stage of life. Faced with death, the stages from rejection to acceptance.
The Dark Side of the Moon was never meant to be cuts.
She done this in one take in the studio and walked out unhappy apologising to the band. Floyd were like, Jackpot!
It was two takes, according to the band themselves. Clare was a session singer and was called in at the last moment. She really had no idea what they wanted, so after the first take they told her to think of death etc, and then she let rip. History was made.
A song bound to put tears in your eyes
I didn't scroll through all the comments cuz it's been a few months and I'm sure there's a lot of them but I don't know if anyone has mentioned that she also did this in ONE TAKE!!! They started recording a second tank but she said that it wouldn't get any better so they didn't even finish the second take!! There's a great interview floating around on UA-cam of Clare Torry telling the story of how she recorded that special piece of History!!!
I'm catching up on your videos today after just finding your channel a few hours ago. I am SO impressed by both of you young men. Your obvious openness and appreciation of "my" music -- from MY youth -- and your willingness to be open about the effects it can have on your emotions makes you both Shining Stars in my book. I'm so glad I found you two. I'm looking forward to taking this musical journey with you. Thank you, Good Sirs, for an astonishingly lovely afternoon here the Idaho, USA...
This song is about death. The great gig in the sky is leaving to meet your maker...you can hear her not accepting she is dying..screaming...then a bit quieter with a few outbursts ..then accepting slowly and finely fading away
I have always interpreted it as it is the singer who is dying and going from fear to acceptance then drifts off.
The only two spoken parts say: "I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it - you've got to go sometime." and a soft female voice later says: "I never said I was frightened of dying". So it has always felt to me to be about passing not grieving.
Works either way and just as impactful.
Apparently she got £30 for the season and no creative credit on the album. It took a lawsuit in 2005 to get an out of court settlement for what she bought to the track and co credit with Richard Wright on albums after that date.
The perfect reaction to the perfect Pink Floyd song from the perfect album. You have a new subscriber. Thanks from the USA.
Two smart dressed handsome Italian men and Pink Floyd. What more could any woman want. I just subscribed.
Originally, The Great Gig in the Sky was an innocuous track that was supposed to be used to fill the void ending the side A. In the first demos, a passage from the Bible was read over the piano instrumental, then this was communications from NASA astronauts on mission. With the end result unsatisfying the band members, Alan Parsons enlisted the help of Clare Torry, a studio singer. They ask her to provide them with a vocal improvisation with the only indication of thinking about death and the fear it inspires. Her high-flying performance perfectly transcribing these recommendations and passing through all emotional stages, from hysterical terror to final appeasement is a centerpiece of the record. A sample of her voice is cut and added to the intro of Speak to Me.
Thanks for this amazing story!
She said in an interview that, when they asked her to sing with no words, she tried scatting at first but the band didn’t like that. Then David Gilmore took her aside and said the song is about death. When she asked how to describe that, he suggested thinking of the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance) and try to intone each if those emotions as she sings the song. The end result was this masterpiece.
TA composition of two genius: Richard Wright and Clare Torry
Great Gig in the Sky... Is death
The Widows Wail !
its grief...
they asked to think her about death....and she did, she was singing thinking about the feeling of death...
That Great Gig in the Sky is actually heaven and acceptance. She starts out knowing she's dying and then, later, acceptance that she is now in heaven or... That Great Gig in the Sky.
great reaction, its exactly wat pf wanted!. ITS AN EMOTIANL rollercoaster, v emotins of dying, dne wonderfully in 1 take by clare tory an english singer brought in 2 do a session by pf.
The song is the feeling of dying. Those last moments you have in your thoughts as your life flashes before your eyes. It is a beautiful piece of art, and probably their best song.
You guys should watch this : Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky (Live, Delicate Sound Of Thunder) and see these Lady's going all out, it's something to see as well as hear.
Its about dying. From denial and fear through to accepting it and letting death take you
She was expressing the stages of death
She (singer) was dying but she was fighting it, fighting and fighting but she knew it was ending for her so she accepted it and in accepting it she found peace . at last.
I wish I could count the number of times I've crawled into bed, headphones on, this album on. No booze, no joint (as others claim), just the pure music. To experience it from beginning to end is the only way. Yes, every track stands alone, but the total? 'The whole is greater than the sum of the parts' was never truer than with Dark Side of the Moon.
Hauntingly beautiful song.
Great reaction to Pink Floyd!!! Need to react to Pink Floyd. " Pulse Live ". COMFORTBLY Numb.
Thank you for your words and suggestion! We will do it one day!
Its No No Quarter, but its quite an awesome peice of music. Timeless.
a desperate voice, deeply hurt. Doris you are an absolute queen
