The singer's name was Clare Torry, she was (and still is) a tiny little english woman! She was a scat singer and was brought in for the day, she was told to go through the emotions of death (but use no words), she laid this iconic vocal in 2 takes, took her daily stipend, and shuffled off to the pub.
@@ChadWiggin Yes, but she had to go to court to get that and credit for vocal composition, and even then, that was more than thirty years after the album came out. Originally she just received the standard Sunday studio flat fee of 30 pounds.
Great reaction! The small contingent of Pink Floyd reaction junkies out here search TH-cam for just the reaction you presented us. It doesn't matter to us if the audio quality is crisp, you have a flashy green screen, or even if you 'get' the band's message, We want to see the same visceral emotion we experienced when we first listened to it and you delivered big time! Thank you!
@@rancidcrabtree. i love the book " they shoot canoes,don't they?",ran across his work back in the mid 80s as a teenager,reminded me of growing up on Oregon coast.have a great day my friend,stay safe.
Lol you ain't gotta tell me bro I know. I don't like to pause much on these types of tracks tho cause it's an experience so I wanna experience without interruption. Appreciate you for watchin brotha
Exactly, I remember buying DSOTM when it was first released and of course it's best to listen to it in one sitting. But to tell someone else how to listen to it is kind of heavy-handed, especially like you said, on a reaction channel.
@@jayrahvisions I enjoy watching you feel the music much more than stopping a lot to verbally analyze it. It shows you are lost in the music which is great. Your actions speak louder than words.
There is music. And there is Pink Floyd. Some people realize that you cannot compaire Pink Floyd with any other group. I hope you will discover as well the rest of the amazing work of Rick, Nick, David and Roger - and for the Great Gig in the Sky as well Claire.
This song is about death and the battle within the soul near the end. And within her voice lies the battle and the peaceful end. A true masterpiece. I can imagine the end being chaos and calm and everything in-between, and she nails it. Good reaction man.
Yes! Good catch. The third verse to "Breathe" (called Breathe (Reprise)) follows immediately after "Time". And don't listen to naysayers about pausing. The Floyd is a lot to take in. I'm interested in your initial thoughts not the song. I can and do listen to The Floyd any day every day. Pause whatever it feels. Clare Torry is a session singer brought in specifically for this track. She spent a few hours in the studio made up her own vocals on the spot, did a few takes and left. She never thought her vocals would see the Dark Side until she picked up the album in a store one day. Just one of those serendipitous things that is music gold. Like catching lightening in a bottle. Great reaction.
Yeah you ain't gotta tell me bro lol it's plenty of other reactions for people if ian they slice of bread. But the song is such an experience I try not to pause cause I wanna experience to the fullest. Appreciate you for watchin and the love brotha. Peace
Your reaction to Great Gig in the Sky is almost exactly what the band is said to have experienced at the end of the recording session. Claire Torry's singing stunned the band into silence. She actually thought they were upset and went into the control booth and apologized to everyone then left right away. She never expected her singing to make it on to the album, and only found out when she bought a copy of the album when it came out. Almost everyone who discovers Pink Floyd has this reaction to Great Gig in the Sky. It just blows your mind. Keep up the amazing videos!
Hey, i love your reactions. I hope you will please not listen to folks who tell you not to pause. Many of us grew up with these songs and have listened to the hundreds if not thousands of times because they're so great. But watching someone enjoy these songs for the first time is what brings me to these videos. You show your clear appreciation for and understanding of the music, and that's what's hot. If you're like many of us, which I think you are, you'll go back to these songs over and over and then you can just listen to them through. For now, your excitement in discovery puts joy in the world. Please keep it up.
many blessings for watching, thank you for the info she absolutely killed sent me to another dimension. if this is what you hear before you reach that great gig in the sky maybe it ain't all bad lol
Mate ! you don't need words ,Your emotions speak louder than words! and you've been officially Floyded!!! Welcome to more as you head down the rabbit hole. Your emotions are priceless ,best one yet for this one! Please react how you want too.
@Jay Ray Visions That reaction was beautiful man. I just turned 50, and I've listened to this countless times over the last 40 years, and not once has it not bought a tear to my eyes. I don't know if anyone could not feel the emotion in that piece of music.
After a reaction like that you really don't need many words. Floyd is nothing if not emotion. And you could certainly see it all over your face. They are a musical emotional and philosophical experience all at once. 'Money' and 'Us and Them' next.
Brother, when you got to the ending of TIme, I was like "if he recognizes this as Breathe (reprise), he's a real one." Not even two seconds later you said Yo this sounds like breathe. Right on man
Like a ton of bricks. Thank you for this. I need my PF fix every now and then. These two songs are strange in not losing the effect, not even after decades. If its a long time I have heard this, it always amazes me, was it really THIS good. Great, great reaction.
I love watching people discover great music for the first time. You're reaction was so genuine. Welcome to the pink floyd family haha check out " hey you" and "shine on you crazy diamond " and def AUDIO VERSIONS
This album is one of the mostly unspoken influences in hiphop, the samples, the textures, the big drums, the psychedelic sound, the synths. So ahead of its time, when you listen to it in full you hear so many innovative sounds that are still being repeated and evolved today. Truly one of the greatest musical acts in history.
Pink Floyd = greatest musical phenomenon of all time! Time happens to be my favorite song of all time. Nice to see this young man listening to music that is truly magical and mind expanding.
"Pink Floyd's evergreen album The Dark Side of the Moon continues to hold the record, by far, for the most charted weeks on the Billboard: 917!" -Billboard 200 That means this album has been on the top for ALMOST 18 YEARS. No other album comes even close to this one.
No. 1.: Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon, with 917 weeks No. 2.: Bob Marley - Legend: The Best Of..., with 386 weeks That's a big difference between the two most "successful" album
@@glennbrock6560 Pfft, no way...Everyone Knows it's Animals! ...........No wait...Wish you were here! ...er, I mean Ummagumma! ...NO it's 100% MEDDLE! ... :) ...When you've spent decades devouring PF's music it's staggering to contemplate their work in total...Add in Gilmore or Watters solo stuff!
Great reaction. It is priceless to see new generations being touched, as I was nearly 50 years ago. Have a nice journey with all the great songs of PF. From now on your music life has gone to a new level (maybe the ultimate)
Thank goodness you pay attention. I've been telling so many that some of these albums need to be heard in entirety! You're getting the true experience!
Great reaction! I’m glad you followed all of our collective advice and listened to the two together. That’s the way to do it with these two! No words necessary. Your reaction while you were listening said it all. You were really feeling it.
At the beginning of the song the bass guitar plucks seconds ticking away, "TICK TOCK TICK TOCK" and the bass drum mimics a heart beat "BOOM BOOM-BOOM BOOM" The effect is life flying through time.
And when you know what Great Gig in the Sky is about (death and the steps towards the end...), this music and her voice make your emotions even deeper.
Clare Torry chimes in.. nooooo, he waaaasnt readyyyy 😂😂😂 what a brilliant song. Welcome to the world of Pink Floyd - I promise you, you’ll never look back.
No one is prepared for Great Gig in the Sky. It's my favorite track from this era. Richard Wright wrote it. Claire Torrie sang it, if I remember correctly. It's about the 7 stages of denial and acceptance.
Keep pausing whenever you feel the urge...you always pause at the right moment for the right reason and it makes everything even more meaningful and impactful. Love your brain. Thank you...most sincerely, thank you.
Epic Reaction, I feel this music deep in my soul, the same way you seem to feel. Not everyone gets it.! If you want to continue the album, my suggestion is do the next song "Money" as a stand alone, then do the last 4 songs all together. That last 4 songs is gonna rip you up, lol. Loving it.
Just watched (and commented on) your Speak to Me/Breath video about this... then clicked on your channel, and low and behold, here is your reaction to my favourite Pink Floyd track of all "Time"! (See what I did there?!) I so envy you... just discovering Pink Floyd for the first time. What a trip you're in for! 🤪😉
I've been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 9 years old, U pause whenever U want. I imagine that most of us has heard the music before and the reason we are here is to watch ur reaction. Which was awesome by the way. ✌
Man i watch a ton of music reaction videos. I just found your videos and u are one of the few that show genuine emotion to the music. Keep up the awesome videos.
Awesome reaction, man. These songs and this album have been moving me for over 40 years now. So much of Pink Floyd has stood the test of time and found new generations of people who are moved by the music they gave us.
Long time listener to Floyd,its like becoming awake when you hear this music for the first time,even after 40 plus years of listening it still gets to me,great reaction,goood to see the younger generation appreciate the brilliance of Floyd...
I'm glad you listened to time and the great gig together as was meant. Female vocal was Clair Tore. To me this represents the cycle of birth to death and how time doesn't GAF.
This one is a life-changer. The only problem is you will look for more music to have this type of emotional impact, and you won’t find it. If you do, let me know!
When you were praising the Piano at the start of Great Gig, I was thinking "you have no idea what you are about to take a journey through..." You did not disappoint :)
After "you've missed the starting gun" the band gives you the gift of an instrumental for you to give pause for self-reflection. Perhaps the Confucius quote is apropo: A man has two lives - the second one begins when he realizes he has one.
7:18...."It's too much..." - NO, it's not too much,...It's "Exactly" the correct amount. (Which is what put these guys on a different level from anyone else)
the back story for great gig in the sky was the song depicts life from birth to death and the vocals on this song were spot on and was recorded on the first try.
What OTHER reaction could be had??? 1st time i heard this back some 20+ yrs ago it literally 'BROKE ME DOWN'.. Can't help but have the exact same reaction to this day. Tis why i do not listen to it very often.. It's STUCK right up there, HAUNTING VOCALS!! I'm OUTIE!! PERFECTION!!! Gotta add, i had to watch this two times cause the 1st time i had my eyes closed, MESMERIZED!!!
I cannot WAIT to hear you react to Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Dogs. Two of Pink Floyd's most awesome masterpieces. Be sure to hit those two in your Floyd journey at some point.
That constant ticking sound, in the beginning, was a bass guitar with the strings clamped together. The part that you said sounded like breathe is actually breathe reprise.
Welcome to what Pink Floyd does. They bring out emotion with their music. They are the best at making you feel the song, They make you not just hear, and feel it, they make you see, smell, and taste it as well.
OMG loved your reaction Miss Clare Torri, so happy you listened to the original cut. A lot of other vocalists have done it since just does not have the magic this does. The Classic's It was on vinyl the cuts flowed into each other. You listened to the whole side then turned it over and listened to that side. Also notice When you are seeing the art that would have been on the cover. That was a huge part of waiting to get a new album you opened it up they folded out the surprise of what was inside. Cheers
My reaction would be exactly the same as yours, to these fantastic songs, bro. And so glad you played them back to back too. For they compliment each other well, in my humble opinion.
Great album ever made. I history of mankind. The great gig is about dying... man.. phases of denial... read about them and listen to the emotions of the voice again.. goes through all of em.. in order.. until acceptance..
The time is gone. The 'song' is over. Thought I'd something more to say... It's just one great poetic, philosophical lyric after another, with Floyd. :)
I was a rather hc fan of PF back in the 80's. Been trying to explore away since then, all that metal and rave and indie & stuff, but still THIS music I have heard so many times still sends the same shivers down my spine. Love your reaction video btw!
What you should remember is that DSOTM is a muse by the band about life, and it was an album, not a CD. Side one is a journey through life. Birth, Breathe (childhood lyric.) Adulthood, On the Run. Aging, Time and the reprise into Breathe (lyrics now reflecting older person) and death The Great Gug in the Sky. Side two of the album are missives about some things all people face or share commonly in life, Wealth, War, Art, Mania and Existential thoughts.
The singer's name was Clare Torry, she was (and still is) a tiny little english woman! She was a scat singer and was brought in for the day, she was told to go through the emotions of death (but use no words), she laid this iconic vocal in 2 takes, took her daily stipend, and shuffled off to the pub.
I guess she was apologizing but they were blown away
The way I heard it she was told to sing an orgasm. She recorded it in two takes.
I heard she was singing through the different stages of grief.
She ended up getting song-writing credits for this and for an album that stayed in the billboard top 100 for nearly a decade that is no small amount.
@@ChadWiggin Yes, but she had to go to court to get that and credit for vocal composition, and even then, that was more than thirty years after the album came out. Originally she just received the standard Sunday studio flat fee of 30 pounds.

This song is about death and the battle within the soul near the end. And within her voice lies the battle and the peaceful end. A true masterpiece. I can imagine the end being chaos and calm and everything in-between, and she nails it. Good reaction man.
Claire Torry did this in a couple of takes, walked in the control room, apologized for wasting their time and left.

Gotta give you a like just for playing Time and Great Gig together. I wish more reactors would do that.
Could barely hear the music but liked your reaction. The woman singing in GGITS is Clare Torrey (white woman from England).
Could barely hear it brother
Claire Torry thought she did something wrong.
The band was so taken by her performance, they couldn't speak.
Music is the soul.
That is definitely the best reaction I've ever seen to the Great Gig in the sky! 🤟🤟🤟
Claire Torry - she was an extra singer.

Death and Acceptance -- bet you've never heard it expressed so eloquently. Once you've been touched by Pink Floyd, your life will never be the same.

@@jayrahvisions 😃
it happened to me in 1982.the entire album was a "HOLY SHIT" moment.i still question its earthly origon.brilliance beyond description.
Forgot to add, enjoyed your reaction, pink floyd often leaves people speechless
Her voice. Never says a damn word, but makes you feel EVERYTHING. ❤🙌🏼
It's official. Welcome to Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd = greatest musical phenomenon of all time!

Most all of the Pink Floyd albums are concept albums where the tracks blend together.

So beautiful it’s overwhelming but can’t stop listening ! Pink Floyd has that intensity .
At the beginning of the song the bass guitar plucks seconds ticking away, "TICK TOCK TICK TOCK" and the bass drum mimics a heart beat "BOOM BOOM-BOOM BOOM" The effect is life flying through time.
The first time I ever heard The Great Gig In The Sky, I knew it would be my favorite stone of all time, and it still is.
And when you know what Great Gig in the Sky is about (death and the steps towards the end...), this music and her voice make your emotions even deeper.
Your facial expression while listening to that solo is David Gilmour's gift to the world.

One of the best Pink Floyd reactions ever. It really is too much. Gotta love it.
Compadre, el silencio es lo correcto. Bienvenido a Floyd. Buena reacción, felicitaciones.
Epic Reaction, I feel this music deep in my soul, the same way you seem to feel. Not everyone gets it.!
If you want to continue the album, my suggestion is do the next song "Money" as a stand alone, then do the last 4 songs all together. That last 4 songs is gonna rip you up, lol. Loving it.
appreciate you watchin brotha, yes man this music takes you to a different dimension.
Agree. Money can be a stand alone. The last four? Not so much.
This is everyone's reaction when you first hear this amazing song. Just like my first reaction when I heard on my record player in the 70s... !
Pink Floyd is the best and require the best their background singers are incredible they are incredible love those girls man they Rock
Now imaging being a young teenager (me) hearing this in 1976. BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER!
This is a pink floyd reaction that you can dream of👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for the healing tears. Your reaction was everything I could have hoped for. Respect - old musician from Seattle

Great Gig in the Sky nearly bring me to tears every time I hear it.. and I have been listening to this song since the early 90s
Great reaction. That Pink Floyd really hits you in the feels. Check out Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd some time. Another great song
Im always jealous when someone hears this record for the first time.
Appreciate your reaction and your willingness to just go with your emotions...definitely a sign of strength and positivity...

Great gig in the sky
She touched your soul without ever saying a word.
It's amazing what great music can do or say without ever saying a word

If I could give a million likes I would. Good to see someone who can give themselves to an emotion and ride that music like it was made to be.
It is the best reaction. Its changes everything after hearing it more than words.
You’re reactions to Pink Floyd is refreshing.
welcome to Floydland, been absorbing their music since the 70's when parties were rife with Floyd, Hendrix, Joplin to name but a few. enjoy
When you get done with Dark Side of the Moon, listen and watch their live Pulse album. The best live performance ever IMO.

Also notice When you are seeing the art that would have been on the cover. That was a huge part of waiting to get a new album you opened it up they folded out the surprise of what was inside. Cheers
and with that... we have a new contender. awesome, genuine reactions, man. thank you.
My reaction would be exactly the same as yours, to these fantastic songs, bro. And so glad you played them back to back too. For they compliment each other well, in my humble opinion.
I also had no words to describe my first experience with this song
Its awesome for sure! The emotions those song stir do leave you speechless.
Great album ever made. I history of mankind. The great gig is about dying... man.. phases of denial... read about them and listen to the emotions of the voice again.. goes through all of em.. in order.. until acceptance..
The time is gone. The 'song' is over. Thought I'd something more to say... It's just one great poetic, philosophical lyric after another, with Floyd. :)
I was a rather hc fan of PF back in the 80's. Been trying to explore away since then, all that metal and rave and indie & stuff, but still THIS music I have heard so many times still sends the same shivers down my spine.
Love your reaction video btw!
This is a song that if you close your eyes, you can be inside the music as it takes you somewhere...
What you should remember is that DSOTM is a muse by the band about life, and it was an album, not a CD. Side one is a journey through life.
Birth, Breathe (childhood lyric.) Adulthood, On the Run. Aging, Time and the reprise into Breathe (lyrics now reflecting older person) and death The Great Gug in the Sky.
Side two of the album are missives about some things all people face or share commonly in life, Wealth, War, Art, Mania and Existential thoughts.
I love this reaction. It's my favorite one now. Floyd ain't no joke.
Just watching this now after joining from your Rush and Zeppelin videos. Yup, “Everything about this”. Well Said.
