I honestly hope Clare watches RUclips and sees how she's still touching lives decades later without ever having said a word. That's true brilliance.
Her interview is so nonchalant. Humble genius drives us to our destinations.
Have you seen the documentary on Clare Torry? (sorry if I've misspelt that). It's worth a watch if anybody hasn't. Only thing is I've forgot the name, my memory is really bad. Although I can recite the Noodle Doodle advert word for word from the 80s and numerous others, but I can't remember last week 🙄.
Anyway, it's on RUclips somewhere. 💫👌✌
@@VeteranHedonist Hey, yeah. The brains get full and we have to keep some disposable memory working.
She did not look anything like what I had imagined, based only on her singing voice. How does such a huge voice come out of such a diminutive woman? 🎶🎵😲
@@ErikOosterwal some of the most powerful voices come out of tiny people lol Stevie Nicks, Prince, Ronnie James Dio.
"Nothing was said and everything was said" ... you got it! The backstory on how this masterpiece was created is quite incredible.
You beat me to it!
“Bold and dramatic” if I recall Richard Wright’s words correctly. Ohhh yeah, it took just one take.
Yes, she hit the nail on the head with that phrase. It's the 5 stages of death or a form of it.
@Arnold Bertens 3 takes but most of it is the first take.
back story is 2 words. That's incredible!
I could listen to the song 100 million times and still get teary-eyed every time.
I dunno... by the 99th million, I think I'd crack. ;-]
100 million times continuously without a break would take 910 years. Are you Methuselah?
So do I.
@@zombie7857 839 years by my calculations 😂
This song makes me bawl my eyes out every time
Best listened to immediately after "Time".
LOL, they have it with lyrics!! I would have loved to have been the one with that job. I'd have tried to use every letter of the alphabet. You nailed the interpretation of the song. If you get the opportunity, check out the interview with the singer, Clare Torry. She got the gig and it was scheduled for the same night she was on a date, so she brought him to the session and wanted to blow his socks off. It's been over 50 years, I think he's still barefoot.
LOL, well said and I do believe he is.
I disagree with some of the spelling…
@@alundavies1016 yes, should have put it through a spell checker!
Listen to this another hundred of times... and be grateful that you are in the position of experiencing one of the greatest experiences in modern music... this piece will be discussed and analyzed endlessly within the next 300 years... because yes it is that great! one of the highest peaks of modern music... do not dare to underestimate it
Clare Torry's vocals are to represent the 5 stages of grief mourning: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. She improvised the entire vocal portion and she basically just let it rip.
Also, Claire Torry's vocal is astonishing, but the chord progressions that Rick Wright plays (and wrote) on piano are unique. He was the soul of Pink Floyd.
You're reading *_way_* too much into it. It was just a few improvised scat/melismatic performances on a single afternoon and edited together later. Settle down. Also, stick to *"Clare."
@@rollomaughfling380 I think that was an un rehearsed take from Clare from memory. I agree with the 5 stages concept, not that is was intentional.
@@andrewstewart8704 It's an edit, dude. Google is your friend, FFS.
It's about the stages of dying, not grief. ✌️
Hey, we tell ourselves the stories we like.
I love the entire album! Have for 50 years but "Us and Them", is a must listen.
Time.
Every single word rings true.
This is an album that needs to be listend to from begining to end. It's all connected.
Agreed. I have always believed “the great gig in the sky” to have been a sermon, rather like when Moses came down the mountain, with magic words from God to his people. Clare Torry’s vocals have the same vibrational magic. For those with ears to hear. /|\
In the dark with ear phones no one else around … turn off anything that may distract you
I have been listening to this album for almost fifty years. My favorite songs are Brain Damage/Eclipse. Two songs that are ALWAYS played together. However, the truth is… The album needs to be played start to finish, in its entirety. From the beginning heartbeat to the ending heartbeat.
Dead right! Preferably, on headphones in a darkened room. It's awesome.
THIS. The album is a whole concept, not easily appreciated by little pieces.
So I'm at 37 years in with Floyd and agree here and say further that most of their albums should be listened to all in one sitting. Candles and a darkened room are good. I've posted here before that Wish You Were Here is a must and understanding the back story to the album's them and knowing about Syd Barrett either before, during, or after your reaction is something to consider in terms of its emotional energy and ability to affect the listener.
@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars as Roger Waters once said, "you can't watch TV in the dark because it makes light". Applies to RUclips as well.
@Chad Regimbal Crazy idea. How about listening to the actual album? I don't know, maybe cd or even vinyl? There are more media options than just YT you know!
Aaaaah, the Floyd at full Floyd. I spent so much time stoned just loving this.
Pink Floyd made for being stoned.
You and me both, brother. So many nights, it was just Pink Floyd, me and my stoner cat Lucky...
I love the alternate Spock!
and on head phones lol
There is a reason why this album is the fourth best selling album of all time. Pure genius.
4th🙄 should be best
What could possible have beaten it?
@@heliotropezzz333 Not that I agree but by the numbers sold,
1. Thriller - Michael Jackson
2. Back in Black - AC/DC
3. The Bodyguard Soundtrack
4. The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
5. Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) - Eagles
6. Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf
@@dpall38 Thanks for the info. There's no accounting for taste but I can see that the others might be easier to absorb. No thinking required.
@@heliotropezzz333 I get AC/DC, Back in Black was a great album. The rest are just befuddling. Dark Side is truly a work of art.
Just so you all know, the vocalist on this track, Clare Torry, is 77 this year.
Pink Floyd were notorious perfectionists, and would spend days or weeks getting a single track just right. Then Clare Torry came in (a little reluctantly) one Sunday evening and absolutely nailed the vocal in one session. In the early part, where she expresses fear and anger, it sounds like she's given it everything she's got, but then she comes back and attacks it again and again, going harder than ever. Simply amazing - and beautifully engineered by Alan Parsons, giving Clare's voice power, vulnerability and remoteness at precisely the right times.
This one of rhe few Pink Floyd songs that uses a female vocal. Clare Torry was not ad lib and sing any words.
Pink Floyd keyboard player Rick Wright wrote this song, which is about life, gradually descending into death. Hence the angrier and more intense first half with a dying person refusing to "go gently into that good night."The second half is gentler, as the dying person gives into the inevitable and fades away
Floyd uses tons of female vocals in their work and has toured with many female vocalists for live performances for decades.
Yes, the 5 stages of death.
@@xhighone Wow, I didn't know that. How many songs have all female vocals?
It's the culmination of life, the terror of death, and finally that acceptance
We all must face.
So powerful!!!
Pure angelic singing...Clair Torry, the woman with an angels voice struggling though life.
It's ironic that an album in which the overall theme is time, seems to be quite timeless. I can't believe it's been 50 years since I first heard it, and it still holds up to this day. It never gets old imho.
Whoever wrote these lyrics is a legend
What is amazing about this album, well maybe all of them, is that they truly DGAF about having mainstream success. They just did their thing, and through that, in 2023 there are teenagers of every nationality wearing their shirts. It kind of boggles your mind when you think about it. You are not the first reactor I’ve watched who had previously assumed they were somehow metal or more hard rock. Because they are very much revered by many metal artists and metalheads, even though that’s not what they were. They clearly tapped into something special that many different types of people can appreciate.

"Nothing was said and yet everything was said" That's why I enjoy your reactions so much. First impression, and nailed it. There is a chord change in the progression of this song where they introduce a real darkness. In that brief moment it goes from church hymn to the void, and I love it so much.
Once you understand the song, it's very deep, all the stages of dying and death are encapsulated in this song.
This sums up the 5 stages of dying. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It's brilliant
The whole album. It must be listened to in one sitting from start to finish.
You nailed it young lady. You and my youngest daughter have renewed my faith in your generation. Keep on keeping on. P.S. Get a nice Indica dominant strain, and listen to the whole album, start to finish, as it was intended to be listened to, and you will get it. You, have a great intellect, and an amazing grasp of life, at such a young age. Peace Young Lady.
Lily Jane. I think you captured the feeling. This song does simulate that process. Always been a favorite from this album. Hope you continue your Pink Floyd journey. Thx!
They told her the concept of what they wanted. She started singing. They said no lyrics. She improvised it on the spot. 2 1/2 takes. The last one she stopped 1/2 way through & said you got what you needed. It was the best she could do.
I just wanted to add: You have the best nontechnical reaction I've hear. 👍
This song was recorded at Abbey Road studios. It just so happen that Paul McCartney was in the studio at the same time. Several people were asked to provide the male voice at the beginning of this song including Paul. The person that was used on the record was Gerry O'Driscoll, the door man at Abbey Road studios.
Nothing better than going to see Pink Floyd back in the day do the entire Dark Side of the Moon live while under the influence. It was an experience I'll never forget.
I think it's quite promising and satisfying that a young person can listen clearly, and come to grips with this totally emotional and deep piece, and make a good fist of it. Thanks muchly LJ, it was a beautiful reaction that you gave..x
Generally acknowledged to be one of the greatest vocal performances ever recorded and she didn't sing a single word. That's genius right there.
For me, it is impossible to pick a favourite song off this album because it is written _as_ _an_ _album,_ and every song loses something being taken on its own. TBF I am amazed at how much you've picked up experiencing it piecemeal like this - it shows how well-written and -performed it is, but also what a great sense for music and meaning you have. You've really tuned into it - thank you for sharing your journey!
I'm impressed you got it right off the bat , this song is about death and the 3 stages we all go thru, in youth a complete rejection of even the thought , the second singer { middle age} conveys an anger towards it and a desperate rejection of it and the last one {old age } acceptance , well that's how i interpreted the song , maybe yours is different and it's all good . love your expressions ,they keep me smiling
Death. An event that all of humanity is destined to experience at one point or another, in one way or another be it our own death or the death of a loved one, depending on each individuals level of compassion and acceptance.
Persistent, traumatic grief can cause us to cycle (sometimes quickly) through the stages of grief:
denial,
anger,
depression,
acceptance.
These stages are our attempts to process change brought along by the loss of a loved one or the acceptance of ones own mortality and to protect ourselves while we adapt to our new reality.
Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky is about such a journey. The opening lyrics start with denial and ends with acceptance.
Music stripped down to raw powerfull, beautiful emotion.
Dark side of the moon. YES. The only album I have bought 4 times. From vinyl LPx2, cassette, and CD. I grew up playing this in the 70's and still love it.
Considering more often than not, there are no hard breaks between songs, I'm going to say that my favorite song from the album is - the entire album.
I think it's incredible how you can listen to a song once and find the deep meaning behind it. I don't know how many times I've listened to this song and not once did I ever think of any kind of meaning to it other than I like the sound of it. I didn't pick up on that it was about death at all (probably because I never could understand what was being said at the beginning, until now, reading the caption).
You have a gift, being able to interpret hidden meaning (or perhaps not so hidden, but hidden to me) to so many songs.
This is the Third Reaction to this song that came out today!
Algorithm?
You nailed it!!! It's the seven stages of dying and ultimately accepting it.
I was 13 when I first heard this song. I didn't know what it was and why there were no lyrics just this beautiful song and mystical wailing. Many years I later, I know what she meant....
This is my favorite song because of the beautiful art and hope for peace..
God bless the person who put captions to this.
If you listen carefully at about 3.33 minutes you can hear the singer (Clare Torri) whisper: “I never said I was afraid of dying”.
That always makes me whipe away some tears.
Often misheard, some say it sounds like "if you hear this whisper, you are dying," but having listened to it many times I'm pretty sure you've got it. Spoken by Patricia "Puddie" Watts, the wife of Peter Watts (Pink Floyd's road manager and engineer at the time) and stepmother of British/Australian actress Naomi Watts. (I thought she said "frightened of dying" rather that "afraid...")
@@campbeld63one time when I listened to this album on acid I heard, “If you hear this whisper, you’re dying.”😂 boy was that thrilling
Wow, that's the best recognition of what's happening I've heard
awesome album! Great gig just profound
I might have missed it in someone else's comments but usually there's the recommendation that you listen to the entire thing in one sitting. Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album where one song flows into the next. The albums Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are concept albums too, so even if you don't have the time, at least do a few (2-3?) of the songs in a chunk, if possible. I think you will gain an even greater appreciation if you listen to the whole at one time.
All of them. Best album ever!!!!!!!
Very moving,thx Lilly🤘🏼💥🤘🏼
Everything you said was spot on , A beautiful reaction darling! :) x
You understand much more than I do. Thank you for your insight.
Well done!…you nailed it first time…it’s about resistance and then acceptance
This song allows me to unfold and understand the loss in my life. Everyone I looked up to the most in my life has died. This is a pure expression of how I felt when my brother died. I screamed the same vocals in this song.
I'll never forget when I first heard this song, and I still get chills now. First time around, the wailing and screams almost disturbed me but in a good way. I was younger when I first listened and as I listened more I really got the whole message of it, I see it as the 5 stages of grief. Clare Torry delivering one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching vocal performances ever recorded.
It's hard to pick a favourite from the album, "Time" would be one of my picks. My dad's favourite is "Us and Them" which I can agree with too. Can't wait for you to get to that one!
I think the begining is what we tell ourselves; that death is nothing to be afraid of and it's no big deal. But then the rest is the truth of death, the terror, the pain, the anguish and finally the exhausted acceptance.
Pick a favorite Pink Floyd song? Hell, I can't even pick a favorite Pink Floyd album!
Edit to add: yes, a couple tokes are always good when listening to Pink Floyd.
I laughed out loud at that first line because it's so damn true!
Close your eyes and listen to this song again. This time, imagine you're and the end of your life and death has come for your soul.
Your soul, however, is not ready to go. There is a fierce battle, but eventually, death wins, and your soul surrenders followed by acceptance.
That is what this song is about.
Can't believe I've been listening to this for 50 years, and it's still rich, beautiful and amazing every time.
One of the best concerts ever been to Wembley London 1988
That has to be one of the most hilarious lyric videos I've ever seen!
Imagine that the Dark Side of the Moon album was released 51 years ago and still affects all who listen to the music in many different ways. The songs sometimes start and end in an unusual way because they were meant to be played one after the other, in order. Such great talent and music. Where has good music gone.
This album came out 50 years ago. It has been on the top 200 album charts for almost *20 years*. That says all that you need to know about this album. It's depth is almost immeasurable.
I've just watched about five of your Pink Floyd reactions in succession, and I love them. Your Floyd reactions are by far the most intelligent I have seen and you nailed them every time. When Clare Torry went into the studio to sing this, the first thing she did was to ask for the lyrics. She was told 'there are no lyrics, just sing what you feel'. She was told to sing the five phases of death, you picked up on that. Most reactors only go so far as to say her performance was 'really emotional' without giving any more. So she did this in one take (after a little vocal warm-up). They started to do a second take, but she stopped after a few bars and said she couldn't do it again because she put everything into the first take, which was what they used. She recently sued Pink Floyd for shared songwriting credits for the song since she wrote the 'lyrics'. I think Pink Floyd just agreed with her and gave her the credits without even going to court over it. By the way, you said the organ part sounded like a church sermon; it was! Originally the song was styled as a funeral service in a church, then they tried it with a moon-landing commentary, and in the end they settled on this.
It's amazing that they got that vocal in one take. That was unheard of in 73.
Favorites from the album, Time, Great Gig in the Sky, and Any Colour You Like,
50 years after the first time hearing it and Clare's voice still gives me chills!
Wow, incredible analysis, especially from a single listen. I'm impressed. SUBBED!
My favorite song: The whole album with headphones on in a darkened room with a nice hot cup of tea (or adult beverage) with my legs up and eyes closed.
I love that this song has a lyric video. There is a live performance out there where Pink Floyd actually had Clare Torry singing...worth the watch.
Brain damage/eclipse is my favorite track on this album. Love your channel!
The crazy thing is that Clare Torry improvised the entire thing and did it all in one take.
Near end she whispers something like "if you can hear this you are dieing "
Exactly!
Time is the song that as more meaning with each passing year, and I have listened to it for 50 years,
The best way to listen to this album is laying down with headphones in a pitch dark room after ingesting a certain herb. In the olden (ancient) days of vinyl we'd have a friend there to turn it over for the second side.
It is the musical expression of the throws of death.
Clarie is my hero. She captured it perfectly and needs to be honored for this
The scream is "why did we fight so hard"
This album is worth more in its whole, and not in pieces. The entire album is a masterpiece! Please listen to it from beginning to end. 🌸🍀
Could not agree with you more. Each and every one of PK's albums needs to be listened to as a whole and not parts. They all tell stories and on so many levels.
"They just told the whole story of death with oohs and ahhs". Spot on.
Thanks for this great reaction Lily Jane! This song is amazing and stays with you forever. I’ve been playing it on the piano for many years and it always moves me. The whole album is magical, but I would recommend you react to the beautiful Us and Them as I’m sure you will love it 🥰
Dark Side Of The Moon is one piece. It should never be broken up into "songs", but should be listened to from beginning to end without pause (except to flip the disc if one is listening on vinyl). It is a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts, and should be listened to and understood as such. It comes from a different time, a time when albums were sometimes intended to be listened to in their entirety, instead of just a format to blast as many songs out as possible and hope one of them is a "hit" to make money.
I used to get baked and stick my head between 2 large speakers and crank this album. I had 2 copies so i didn't have to get up and flip the album lol
It's raw emotions of transitions into leaving life, stages of dying, anger, fear, resistance and acceptance, extremely moving
Your reaction is much the same as mine on first hearing it in a villa in the south of France (don't ask, I was only 15). Mindblowing!!
lilly you are so interspective. You understad Pink Floyd better than most.
"Get a little stoned beforehand" LOL. Perfect.
First there is denial, then fear, then finally acceptance. Beautiful interpretation.
Fav song on DSotM is Time. No questions. I'm fifty now - the older I get, the more that song hits.
My favorite Pink Floyd song is precisely... this one
Dark Side of the Moon was meant to be heard the way I listened to it 50 years ago. Buzzed wearing headphones. As to my personal favorite on this album, I have to say Us and Them.
me too, I dropped out of highschool, because I wasn't learning anything new, but pink Floyd, on headphones gave me more knowledge than the teachers moving their lips , coming in waves.
you got it! well done. exactly re the songs and album.
you just played my fave PINK FLOYD song...so much emotion...
I used to listen to this on vinyl in it's entirely almost every day. I like many types of music but this is my favorite album of all time.
So much emotion with no words.
can always tell when its a genuine 1st listen to this song, as they pick a lyric video 😁
Greatest song without lyrics but it’s not instrumental Pink Floyd you nailed it thank you 👏👏👏
14 years on Billboard charts that's 14 YEARS
Miss Torrys voice is one of THE GREATS truly moving it touches your soul….
Single greatest, most epic vocal ever and not a word spoken.
Thank you for sharing your reaction...I seen pink floyd 6may be 7 times they are a experience..in my listening experience dark side of the moon is like one song... masterpiece it is..🌹
Yes, pain and dying, that's what Pink Floyd was going for when they hired British singer Clare Torry to do the "wordless vocals", (as it became referred to), in "The Great Gig in the Sky".
This song is the last song on side A of Pink Floyds iconic 1973 Concept album, "Dark Side of the Moon". The album tells a story about Life, Death, Time, War, Money, the philosophical and physical ideas of an unfulfilled life that can lead to Insanity, (see Syd Barrett).
The GGITS is the Death part, good for you picking up on that!
