This is THE track I’ve picked out for my funeral song…sheer brilliance x
I cry every time for 51 years when I hear this.
The singer was dying, and then died. That is the meaning of this piece of music.
Lovely reaction, no shame in shedding a little tear to this, it proves your humanity. Pink Floyd make a target of your soul.
You have to understand that these guys are very highly trained and educated musicians. There are different keys in music ( combination of notes ) that a well-trained musician can use to make you feel a certain way through the music, obviously this can be done without words as you just experienced. That's why some music makes you want to cry some music can make you feel like you're full of energy some music can make you feel angry and so on. I hope this very basic explanation of music theory helps you to understand what you're feeling when you listen to different kinds of music. It's mostly all in the combination of notes that they use.
You don't just listen to Pink Floyd....you experience Pink Floyd. Your reaction is actually quite normal for anyone with a heartbeat.
Lol. Yes it is an experience. Especially live. Glad I went to see them in ‘94. I bit€hed and moaned about the price of the ticket then, a lot. But I’m glad today that I did get to see them once.
There is "Music" and there is "Pink Floyd". They brings you somewhere out of your body.
Pink Floyd made me fly for the last 55 years and I've been bless for that!
A masterpiece!!!
Always and forever 🤭🔥
Each vocalist represents the three stages of death
If you want to take your emotions further, listen to the entire album, from start to finish, no interruptions. Dark Side Of The Moon.
The great gig in the sky is the personification of the experience of death! Not many people will have joined the dots but I have enjoyed this album since 1974.
You are not alone. When I saw them in '94' I had goose bumps for about 2 hours. I'm now 67 and still get goose bumps. Shedmen
You are not alone, honey. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it and it's been many years. You just need to close your eyes and feel Pink Floyd's music.
This song is intended to describe the five stages of the dying process. Richard Wright, the keyboardist of the Band ask Durga Mc Broom one of the Backgroundsinger on the Pink Floyd World Tour during his lifetime , if she can sing that Song at his funeral. I have personal contact with Durga and she confirmed it to me. But according to unconfirmed information, she was accompanied on the piano by none other than John Lord from Deep Purple.
It is a death song. Possibly the best.
The keyboardist Richard Wright wrote this one but they didn’t quite know what to do with. One night they brought in a young session singer and she riffed those vocals. And it became an iconic song a couple hours later. In the moments you die, there are no words. This captures what I imagine we will all feel in those moments
Pink Floyd plays directly to your soul huh? 😊
Pink Floyd are brilliantly different.
The goddess, Claire Torrey, captures the beauty of Heaven, itself, wothout needing one single word.
I was there at this tour. The universe talks to the band directly and they transduce it to musical energy.....and the message is delivered directly into your soul. And you soul responds as it IS the universe. There is your help. Im 60 now and this concert stands out as one of the most memorable event I have witnessed. The concert was a spiritual experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your profound experience! It's incredible how music has the power to connect us to something greater. I'm thrilled to hear that the concert had such a profound impact on you. It's moments like these that truly stay with us forever. 🎶✨
Ive heard this song a thousand times at least, live and studio and it always moves me. The song is about the stages of death, who would believe a song about Death could be so beautiful.
its heart-breaking! big love to all people :)
I love when someone reacts to this song the way you did. I've been listening to it for 50 years & it still evokes this same reaction for me. Thank you...
Welcome to Pink Floyd
These ladies did a fabulous job with their own interpretations of the song, but you also MUST listen to the original version.
Pink Floyd had the basic melodic structure with the piano, and brought in Clare Torrey to create the vocals.
They explained the concept of conveying the emotions that you might go through as you are dying, but without lyrics.
She really wasn't sure what they wanted, but did two takes in the studio, creating it "ad-lib" as she sang.
She left the studio a bit confused, and didn't even know if her vocals would be used on the album.
She later saw the album in a record shop, and noticed her name in the credits.
She had only been paid 25 British Pounds for her studio work, but after a friend informed her of the popularity of her song, she was able to obtain proper compensation as a co-writer of the song.
Clare Torre only did the one take.
This nonsense of 2 or 3 takes was started by an interviewer who couldn't accept the concept of One Take.
Clare started the vocals with Baby Baby Baby etc and was stopped......told NO words.
She then did the take we hear on the record, and REFUSED to do a 2nd take.
She got her money and left, believing she had wasted everyone's time.
In interviews , Alan Parsons always said he couldn't really remember, but he thought it was one take .
An interviewer kept telling him it was more than one take, and she could be heard doing the backing vocals on other songs etc.
Eventually he wore Alan down who just gave up and agreed to any crap the interviewer came up with.
Most of the backing vocals on DSOTM are Vanetta Fields, who does sound a little like Clare Torre on the album.
@@Rassskle There is literally a video in which she says she did two and a bit.
My interpretation of this song is this (and I know it's not how it was written, but with music, you can interpret it however you want).
At the very beginning of the song, you hear some spoken words - it's a young man, talking about how he's not afraid of dying. This young man was going to war. And the singer(s) represents that young man's mother getting the news that her son had died during the war. And the emotions of the song are her going through the five stages of grief - Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance.
And you hear that in the style in which she is singing - the denial (the wailing), the anger (the aggressiveness), attempting to bargain with God (the pleading), her depression about the reality of what has happened (the sadness) and then acceptance (the calmness). These are all emotions and words are often not necessary.
Pink Floyd is for the ADVANCED music listener. 👍👍👍💥😎
Great reaction. I’m subbing and hoping you’ll do all the songs from this concert. They are all amazing.
It is fear, love, sadness and joy all at the same time. Pink Floyd amazes us still. I’ve listened to this song dozens and dozens of times and I still shed a tear with you.
It's the Pink Floyd Experience, amazing ladies!
What a beautiful heartening reaction to one of the greatest pieces ever written. On the album Claire Tominey sang the whole piece in one take.
Great reaction 😊! Don’t you just love Pink Floyd? A lot of people can’t explain how they feel after hearing their songs.
Your emotions clearly show you understand the beginning, living and the ending of life ! Even if you don't realize it !
Great reaction, love the mix of the 3 ladies. It is about the stages that a person dying goes through.
The voice at the beginning is talking about not being afraid of dying. The vocals that come immediately after (All done by Clarie Torrey on the original recording...and with very little direction) symbolise the different emotions associated with dying, starting with terror, anger and grief, then slowly morphing into the final acceptance and peace.
Thank you for explaining it better than I could have.
Love Pink Floyd. Saw them live back in 1989 ❤
Originally, The Great Gig in the Sky was an innocent track that was supposed to be used to fill the empty space 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 (sound engineer) 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.
1973 I was 17 years old dropped this album and I teared up at this track still do music can do this to you basically it is the three stages of death.
Go back to the big screen concert/presenter in small box. Like you had for Comfortably Numb...it's much better to watch.
Glad you saw this fantastic performance.
Great reaction! Now, you need to hear the original - on Dark Side of the Moon, preferably as it was intended to be heard, immediately after Time (the whole Album is really meant to heard in one go, continuously). You will then hear the original improvisation of the vocals for this track, as created by Clare Torry in the studio all those many years ago. Hope your channel does well!
Pink Floyd are Aliens .
Pink Floyd are all geniuses. This song is supposed to show the five stages of grief in the face of one's death. The album version is also breathtaking, and ir is only one singer, who was improvising believe it or not.
Try the song Sorrow, live at Pulse 1994. The guitar solo will knock your socks off. Subbed for more PF.
Now you know why millions were raving about this band from way back in the 70s until now.
Those melodies were carefully crafted to invoke reactions...glad you just experienced some of them.
I get chills every time ❤
This to me expresses pure female soul. It is the non-verbal emotions of a woman, that only a woman can express it. As a man I love it.
The theme is the varying emotions people go through when faced with death.
Watching from Ireland
Huge Pink Floyd fan. Love your reaction hearing it for the first time. Their music really brings out the emotions; this, and so many more of their songs, make me cry. My best to you.
There are a lot of Pink Floyd songs that have this type of emotional effect. Their songs take you to another place - sometimes within a few seconds of the song starting. Floyd is a very deep rabbit hole.
Some people including myself find certain Pink Floyd music to be a spiritual experience through sound and vibration. Music connects directly to the soul and by passes the necessity and clumsiness of words or language and this music/song is one of those that connect to the soul directly. I’m glad that you had a chance to discover this feeling and music.
Did you listen to Wish You Were Here? The reunion they did. I crack a tear every time.
We all have people we wish were here, obviously, but some people say it better than others. Thank you Pink Floyd for expressing how I feel.
Great video 👍 The best version is the studio original.
Yawn
You HAVE to listen and react to the original studio album version , it’s not fair to ask any vocalist(s) to recreate that, impossible.
Hits you right in the HEART!
It’s freedom of mind.
Hard to deal with.
Just a pure masterpiece this song makes you feel emotional its just gold pink Floyd are one of the best bands ever listen to echoes live in Pompeii by pink Floyd its another masterpiece
Stages of grief of a loved one.
😮
Exquisite musical expression. Exquisite reaction too
Your reaction was heartfelt. All the best with your channel.
You are very young in the reactor numbers game, you must have just started not too long ago. Hope you get what you deserve as a reactor, many have moved on to other platforms because of RUclips regulations and rules. Great song, great reaction.
Well done!
Subscribed. 😊
Yay! Thank you!😊
Hey I'm from Port Huron Michigan USA😊 where are you from? Enjoy your day
Nigeria 🤗❤️
Look into the history of the original.......
You ask what is this, but you actually gave the answer in your own comment. When you said about how you can't put some emotions into words - well Pink Floyd didn't try. They put it into the music instead (with the help of Clare Torrey who did the original vocals on the album)
Good luck with this
Thank you ✨🤍
@Nostalgic Sensation… I can tell by your facial expression, this song wasn’t what you were expecting. The original version with Claire Tory is classic in its own right.
❤️❤️❤️
It's a song of birth to death .maybe you can understand, listen with your heart,❤
