I’ve listened to this song a million times and it still touches me.....
I still get the tingling down my spine.
Every time!
This song saved my live
I agree, Jeff. Just like "Time" that precedes it on the album, it means more as the years go by.
Not too many things that can take me back to when I was 13 and this album came out. My best friend got it and we listened to it on his parents stereo. I temember it perfectly because I was so awestruck by it. Nothing else at that time like it.
The seven stages of dying are disbelief, denial, bargaining, guilt, anger, depression, and acceptance. The singer, Clare Torry did a great job showing each stage. When she did this song, she looked like she could have been a model she was so gorgeous.
I can still remember being so shocked when I learned that the singer was not a black woman and that this was performed "on the fly".
Not only with just the vague instructions to express the 7 stages, but did it in two takes.
It's actually "the seven stages of grief"
Maybe you though of the "Five Stages of Dying: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance"
Cheers 😊
@@Blandina11 Yes, I think you're right. Still incredible effort on her part. Probably why they didn't ask me to do it... .😳
I believe you forgot Peace. For some there's peace...not all so negative. I hope you don't take my comment wrong. I mean no offense, honestly.
I am a 46 year old man and, honestly, every time I listen to this song alone my eyes swell and start dripping from the countless emotions I feel exploding inside.
67, saw them in 1977 in Houston , Pink Floyd is so dynamic!!
No need to apologize for reacting emotionally. This song comes as close as any I've ever heard to touching your actual soul. We all can feel the struggle in the sound of Claire's voice, the sound of a living human spirit fighting, bargaining and finally surrendering to the inevitability of letting go of life. Some day each and every one of us will experience it. That's the pure genius of this song.
Her name it's Clare Tory; she was hired just for this song and she was asked to express the different emotions we go through when faced with death.
She was a session singer, and walked into the studio and recorded this in one sitting. Astounding.
I read somewhere that when she finished the recording the band walked out and she thought they were disappointed. She didn,t realised they were in stunned disbelief
If someone wanted to know how this song makes a person feel, I’ll show them your reaction. You did this song it’s justice empress.
The singer was told to imagine she had just told that someone she loved had died. She was told not to sing words. She was to sing the phases of grief. And it only took Clare a couple takes to accomplish this.
Literally two takes were made and that was it. Clare Torry, this English backup singer, is amazing.
One take with words...ooh and ahhh and then this...one take with this so 2 total.
And I believe they used most of just the first take.
There is an interview of Clare Torry on TH-cam somewhere and it's an excellent watch! She talks about how she started out singing the O's in the Ah's and the band said no that's not what we want so she thought to herself that she had to imagine herself as an instrument and that is where this epic vocal came from!!!
Then she had to sue PF to get paid.
I heard Clare Torry ran out of the studio crying after what you just heard, she thought she did a bad job...😳
Clare did the whole track in one live take. One of the most beautiful tracks.
Improvised the whole thing. only recently got song writing credit
@@ralphoborn5015 I watched Roger Waters perform Dark Side of the Moon live at Wembley a couple of years ago and Great Gig In The Sky sounded incredible in the auditorium.
Little did she know the masterpiece she helped create
@@radioboffinG8KNF One might even say divinely inspired.
Never apologize for crying when you hear the voice of the goddess Clare. It is the appropriate reaction
we are all crying with you. It's a powerful song.
@Joanne Sure, it is! Thanks dear...
The painting "The scream" musicified
No ,not really.
Clare Torry is a British session singer who was asked to sing this song for Pink Floyd. Floyd always had a variety of female back up singers.
True... however, Clare just happens to be white... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_Torry
@@JerryPaulTreeCreations Thanks, I know. I never said otherwise.
@@pamagnolia Sorry, my bad. I must have mis-read your comment. My apologies.
@@JerryPaulTreeCreations No worries man. Have a great new year.
@@pamagnolia You as well. Take care. Sorry again for my misunderstanding. I'm feeling quite embarrassed by that.
Cheers!
The true way to experience this is to listen to this entire album. It’s like one long song flowing together. Truly a masterpiece. Trust me you’ll love it. Thanks for the reaction!
100% right.
Darkside of the Moon = Greatest album of all time
Same with the wall
on lsd
I'm really impressed by your ability to not only understand what the songs are about, but to actually FEEL what the songs are about on your very first listen. I've noticed that with other songs too. You're very good at this.
You had a great reaction to this song. I'm 67 years old. Male and this song brings tears to my eyes every time.
I've seen and been with many people who've heard and reacted to this song. You are one of the very, very few who actually got it. Who understood what it was about, what the title meant, what was happening from beginning to end. No exaggeration. Most people feel something when they hear this. But they don't really get it. So, bravo. Beauty, brains, understanding. As always.
Pretty sure she read-up on it.
This song is intended to take you through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Watching your reaction, I would say you felt some of those. I would love to see you do more Floyd in the future. Take good care.
I would suggest you substitute "grief" with death. Otherwise spot on.
EXACTLY right...Amazing composition!!!!
Yes stages of death
I kind of get distracted by this girls beauty, so I have to watch it again and concentrate. I could listen to her all day. X
Actually it’s the 5 D’s of life. Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge.
The albums is a journey.
"This is an epic masterpiece."
Couldn't have said it better myself 🙂
She is a master. She is a masterpiece.Who's the lucky dog
You absolutely nailed to the song meaning. She was at first terrified of dying, then she accepted it.
Just so you know how powerful that song is. It took so much effort to sing that to replicate it live they used three singers. Hats off to Clare Torry. A masterpiece. Lets not forget the beautifully sad and sweet piano courtesy of Richard Wright. R.I.P. my friend.
Life changes when you discover pink floyd
Cuts right into your emotions doesn’t it. It affects everyone the same. 🥰
Did ever a song say so much while saying so little? - this song gets to everybody. It really is a unique song and its always fascinating to see peoples faces upon hearing this for the first time and you're no exception. Stay safe. Great reaction
This is how they built the pyramids in Egypt. With a voice like that you could move anything.
Richard Wright requested this song for his funeral during his lifetime. He asked Durga Mc Broom, a backing singer from the Pink Floyd World Tour, to sing the song at his funeral. There is still an unconfirmed rumor that Durga was accompanied on the piano by none other than John Lord from Deep Purple.
65 here and tears every time from this masterpiece. Thank you so much for your heartfelt journey.
Your reaction is how most of us reacted when it first came out. It was something never previously heard before. The entire album is so haunting, which is why it was the longest charting album in history... 736 weeks. From it's release in 1973 to 1988. And it still pops up on occasion.
im going to have this played at my funeral to make sure everyone cries
Me 2...
Vocalist Clare Torry
This was a song written by Keyboardist Richard Wright. He brought her on to fill in, some vocals to add some musicality to the song.
If you here Pink Floyd for the first time an angle get his wings. The best Record ever. I heared it first time in 1975. And still love it.
Bought this on 8-track when I was 15. At 63 today, the emotions are the same. Chills.
Ah, Claire Torry... Crushing hearts and opening souls for almost fifty years with her vocals on this one.
Just this song touch my soul am literally cryin 😭
My son will play this at my passing, I already had one stage two tumor removed but it is growing back again. We all are born to die and no amount of begging and pleading with God will change your path. We must all be kinder to each other. Appreciate each other.
This whole album is a masterpiece. It’s no wonder it spent so much time at the top of the charts for years. I’ve worn out so many copies.
The most beautifully real reaction I’ve ever seen! You are a beautiful person!!!
Don't ever be ashamed of your reaction Pink Floyd they get you right in the center of the heart the guitar the lyrics the piano they're just amazing when I'm feeling down they bring me back up again
Your beautiful reaction darling, means that you have a great heart.
Had an out of body experience once listening to "Great Gig in the Sky." I remember being jolted back into my body and was somewhat startled by the whole thing. Being stoned at the time was just too much and probably a mistake. Some music is so powerful you really don’t need drugs :)
Wow, I never saw anyone get on the first listen what the emotions of Claire's singing was representing in death. Great insight Empress.
Song is about the 5 Stages of Grief.
Denial, Bargaining, Depression, Anger and Acceptance.
I think we've all been through that.
Rick Wright absolutely killing it on the piano too!
First of all you are incredibly beautiful but the fact you have the empathy to react to that song with such emotion and compassion means you have an equally beautiful soul, which is even more important. Great Reaction !!
My boss, who's also my best friend, has chosen this for his funeral. There won't be dry eye in the house.
I have never heard a song that comes so close to the emotion of Grief.
It's not about the ones who are resigned to dying, but about those that don't wish to see you leave.
one of the most beautiful songs ever written
You don’t need to apologize for your emotions listening to this song. We all feel it.
the message of this song is to portray the 7 emotions of grief or the feelings involved before you die. Shock or Disbelief, denial, anger, bargaining, guilt, depression and finally: acceptance. Knowing this, listen to the song and you can understand how her voice flows beautifully between every emotion.
Well she reacted to this song exactly the way I STILL react to it every time I hear it!!
best song ever sung without using even one word..........................................................
"Her Voice Is Too Powerful" That is why I have listened to this for 50 years, and tears still come to my eyes. Her voice is exquisite. Watching You listen to this Masterpiece was a Gift.😊
Not a single word throughout. Genius from Clare, she did this in a single take. Never ever bettered. Love your reaction!
Actually, second take. First take she sang variations of babe but they didn't like it that so the second take was as it is heard on this recording.
@@brewswillis9783 Great that we all know the story. I meant she did a SINGLE take, beginning to end, not ONE take. Yes, it was the second 'take' and you're right, she tried some lyrics first time. And she didn't know if PF liked it until she saw the credit on the album sleeve.
You always said Pink Floyd was about emotions! Respect and Love!
I've watched dozens of reaction videos to this song and this one is the most touching. It will never stop being cool watching Clare take someone to church for the first time
Wow beauty and brains. Your interpretation of this song was absolutely right on point.
I was one of the listeners who recommended this song, after watching your emotional reaction to Comfortably Numb i knew you would like this.
Wish you were here is another great song.
Maybe not quite as intense but very powerful lyrics.
If you watch the live performance it is 3 women singing this part. But in this recording it is one woman.
This recording with song by Clare Torry. A British women.
The ONLY viable Live version is from A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour 1987-1988 with Rachel Fury, Durga McBroom and Margaret Taylor
The singing lady is Clare Torry and she is not a part of the Pink Floyd group. She was only one of a few additional musicans that hosted on the album The Dark Side of the Moon.
The voice is mesmerizing, but so is the piano. I loved what Richard did for Floyd.
I get the same reaction still all these years later. Goosebumps and my eyes well up too... dont be sorry, you're only human! 😍 One of the most amazing vocal performances ever.
What a beautiful heartfelt reaction. So glad I watched.
There are many theories as to what happens when we die, but the most interesting one I've ever heard was by a man named Neville Goddard.
the great floyd at it's best. truly arresting,
Never apologize for the emotions, the tears music blesses you with when it touches your soul.
The first part she’s scared of dying the second part she’s going to the tunnel forgiveness and the last part she’s at peace with herself 🙏🏽😢🥰
It’s not her who’s dying. She’s going through the 5 stages of grief.
I've always thought of this as one of the most moving vocal performances in the history of recording. This album as a whole, for me, is easily the best single overall composition ever. (And that's a lot for me to say!)
I love the emotion of your reaction. Certainly no need to apologize! I still get goosebumps almost every time I hear this song. I've never watched one of your video's, but I'm glad I stumbled onto this one.
Cheers!
Please don't apologize for how this makes you feel and for showing it. This song has had that effect on me for 50 years. And I cried watching you hear it for the first time.
In 1973 I was 10 years old and a 13 year old kid down the street one summer day made me lay on the living room floor with my eyes closed add listen to the whole album. Every time I tried to get up he would tell me to lay back down and I did. I remember crying when this song was playing and not understanding why I was crying. I'm glad my friend did that for me that day. I was too young to have a real appreciation for music at that time but that album had a profound effect on me from that day forward.
Imagine you passing those pearly gates and someone asks you, "So, what did you think?"...
Your reaction is one of the most genuine one I’ve ever seen. It seems to me that what you hear is not what others do. I think you should listen to the whole LP with the lyrics if possible. PFloyd are not meant for one song at a time. It is the whole LP in one go. Nice clip.
You have just been introduced to one of the greatest vocal performances in recorded music history.
Ive said it before Pink Floyd is one of my all time favs so its always a good choice picking their songs, but I honestly could watch a video of you reacting to paint dry... Its a different level of beauty and grace.
Wonderful reaction Joy-Jean. Pink Floy is a legendary, iconic British Rock band formed in 1965. They have sold 250 million albums worldwide and are considered the GOAT in Progressive Rock history. I have been a Pink Floyd fan since 1971 when they released their 6th album "Meddle", I was 15 years old!
They are unlike any other band, the way they take the listener on a journey with each and every song! Their music is hypnotic in many ways, people would often say they seemed to be in a trance listening to their music! Their live performances are legendary and I'd love to see you react to some. Pink Floyds 1994 Pulse concert has some incredible performances
Great gig in the sky Pulse, Live. Amazing. So beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
You don't need to apologize. I'm a nearly 60 yr old man, and it still brings tears to my eyes.
One of the most amazing songs ever written.
Life altering music. Musicians live in another world. When they make music we only get a glimpse. Overjoyed that it "touched " your soul!
What a beautiful reaction. I can't get thru this song without a tear. I've been listening to it since it came out!
Pink Floyd is life
I grew up with Pink Floyd… If you have a chance to go see them before they are gone, You Must! Like the rest of their music your mind and body literally becomes entwined in the songs. Awesome, heart felt, emotionally draining, feel great sound! NOTHING LIKE THEM. I definitely grew up during the greatest music and concerts EVER and I will keep going as long as I’m able. Just went to see CHICAGO in Massachusetts, again, incredible, goose bump causing, childhood memory, soul searching music!
This song will be played at my funeral
Great reaction honey! Not many people get this song, you did very quickly. Pink Floyd have so many songs with deep, profound meaning.
Your reaction is so amazing - and yes, Pink Floyd does push the idea of the edge.....
Using my wife"s You tube account to reply, So Jeff, not Mary. Your facial expressions are priceless. Same way I feel when I hear the Clare Torrey vocal track on this song. Rick Wright had this chord progression, some vocals were suggested, and this masterpiece was crafted.Someone said earlier, "if they don't play this at my funeral I'm not going" . Damn right.
Welcome to the world back in my day we called “ head music” . It was in my opinion designed to sit down, eyes closed, brain slightly altered and enjoy the roller coaster of emotions that music brings
@EMPRESS JOY-JEAN i just can't help but loving you a lot, and your genuine reactions make me love you even more 🥰
genuine reactions?? She knew what this song was about even nailed it, on her 1st play? BS 100%. Don't fall in love so easily 🤭
Best reaction I've seen to this wonderful song.
Bless you girl....you felt every emotion possible. Beautiful.
You reaction was perfect. Millions of people have reacted that way, I believe. I always loved this song and it disturbed me, at the same time. Check out some of the live versions for a little bit different take on it. Complete unique, like PF alway was and will be.
WOW! So impressed with how quickly you understood the exact meaning of this song; especially without listening to Time/Breathe immediately before this - (which I would strongly recommend). A very sweet and touching reaction. Took me back to my own first time hearing, and all those 'feels' from so many years ago.
Much love from Seattle to The Empress!
I absolutely love the visceral reactions of young people listening to the music I have felt so deeply about for over 45 years. Thank you
4:41 hidden message in song, gotta turn it up…she says “if you can hear me whispering, you’re dying”
No rehersals no practice, that was ad lib once off, sheer brilliance . she was paid 25.00 for doing that .
That's not true. She actually did two takes, they used most of the first, and she made closer to $50, which was the standard pay of the day. She later sued and got writing credit, along with an undisclosed sum, likely a 6 or 7 figure amount.
Im not really into rock or love music but ive discovered a lot of nice songs thanks to you!
Rock music is the best thing that ever happened to music. I'm 61 and have been a rocker since I was 5!
Some people hear music. Some people FEEL music. Great reaction!!!
The amazing singer on this song is Clare Torry a British singer the band hired to come into the studio to record it. She said in an interview that I watched that she didn't know them, and said as the band sat in the control booth with the engineer, that the guitarist/vocalist David Gilmore was near her and directing her some as she sang it. They paid her for the session, but she said she never heard back from them, but weeks later, she was walking home one day and passed a shop with their new release "Dark Side of the Moon" in the window and she went in and bought it, then went home and listened to it. Truly Epic song. Thank you for your amazing reaction to it.
Hello, you beautiful Queen. When you get the chance listen to Dark Side Of The Moon from back to front without any interruptions. Lower the lights and relax. 😌😑🙂
I know doing reaction videos you try to pick "tracks".
The problem is that that alot of Pink Floyd tracks transition straight into each other.
So, the tracks Time & The Great Gig in the Sky, really need to be heard in context.
If you want to get a peek into Pink Floyd you really need to start by doing the album
"Dark Side of the Moon" as a side 1 & side 2
(Dont expect tracks to be 4mins of singing over a base line!)
Once you stop, sit back, and take the time to listen to the album as it was originally intended then you'll have a better handle on Pink Floyd.
BTW founding band member Syd Barrett dropped out of the band suffering from severe mental illness and drug abuse issues, he was effectively replaced by David Gilmour, so there ended up with 4 members.
Roger Waters (Bass / Vocals / lyrics)
Dave Gilmour (Lead Guitar / Vocals)
Richard Wright (Keyboards / Vocals)
Nick Mason (Drums)
strongly agree - whole album (and the tracks vary - this one is unique). This is really one long story, the neverending story of life (the end of side 2 is the start of side 1)
Dont feel bad Empress, im a grown ass man and this piece has made me cry many times and always sends chills down my spine and goosebumps on my arms. Music is powerful!
Your reaction when you first hear the vocal by Clare Torry is a joy!
