Stephen Bray PINK FLOYD was the seed for many a generation and more generations to come. It was planted in the sixties and never stopped blooming. Rock on man fatzappa
Of course it will! It's Pink Floyd! You should watch the live version of this song! They will surprise you! You'll love it! Check out Free- Be My Friend when you get a chance!
Was into this when it first came out. Wore the grooves out of my record and had to buy a new one. It can still make me cry after all this time. Thanks for sharing. You've got good taste. Also check out "Pretending to care" by Todd Rungren. That will get you too and even more phenomenal - it's just his voice. Enjoy!
Landry Hammond I completely agree. It is so great seeing people experience Floyd for the first time. What a magical journey. Some people say you need to take drugs to appreciate Pink Floyd. The truth is that Pink Floyd is a drug in and of itself. A myriad of emotions that no other band can supply. I've been on the Floyd train for over 35 years, and I hope to keep on riding it for another 35 years. Long live the greatest band of all time!
The story behind this song is so powerful! Its about loosing a loved one . It will always hurt, but with time. It becomes ok and just part of life. I dont know what the guys in the band were doing. Drugs, booze , life or what ever it was. i wish I had some.
+Loren Darcy Absolutely not true. Babies have to be taught to like sweet things. They prefer bland tasting things because their mother's milk is bland. Babies in modern society have been taught to like sweet things because when baby food began to be sold for mother's convenience, the mothers would taste it and say it wasn't good, it had no flavor. The manufacturers had to put sugar in it to get it past the mothers, and thus the babies were basically forced to learn to like sugar. It's a vicious cycle, but it in no way reflects nature. (Of course, babies wouldn't like real chocolate either, because it's bitter as hell, and bitterness is a flavor that also has to be learned acceptance. I can't stand the stuff, myself.)
My cousin was hanging with me one night, chatting shit. I’d played him a couple of Pink Floyd songs and he never really paid attention. Then I said “listen to this, listen to this woman’s vocals...btw she doesn’t sing a single word!” He looked confused. Watching his face when she started singing is one of my happiest memories of him. He wanted to listen to song over and over. Then the whole album. The next day he went out and bought six pink Floyd albums and has been hooked ever since
I am 50 yo polish woman, started to listen to Pink Floyd in my 13thies, we havent easy access to 'west' music, as Poland was a country behind a Wall, socialism, you know. This time I met a boy who I start to love secretly. He was Pink Floyd fan, So I started to listen to Pink Floyd with him together. We spent nice time in darkness, only listening Pink Floyd album. IT was Innocent and Pure attraction. I Fall in love in Pink Floyd forever. Thank you, my Secret love, for that experience
@@matthewoconnor745 I confess I never heard anyone else other than Clare Torry sing this. for me though, the "screaming" is part of the vocal delivery. Some songs need to be screamed ;-)
ExilePaul I’ve seen Clare Sam and a black woman sing Clare’s part. I say Sam because she sang on it when I 1st heard it live on tv yrs ago. Saying that you have different experience every time you listen to pink floyd
@@matthewoconnor745 Except Sam Brown is coming at it having heard the song who knows how many times. When Claire produced this, she didn't even know what the band wanted from her. Truly awesome performance.
It’s a very emotional song about death. The shock, the bargaining, and finally the acceptance. I tear up every time I hear this. Claire Torrey only did one take in the studio and they used it. They didn’t need another. When they wrote this song they felt the instrumental lacked something so they asked Claire working as a session singer in anther studio room if she would improvise for this song. She did, and this was the result. Serendipity created another masterpiece 😃
@@bengybogs No. it was Claire Torrey. She even sued PF to get her name on the album as the song’s writer along with Rick Wright. She was also paid an undisclosed sum in past royalties.
My brother, 7 years older than me, bought the album when it first came out, and had me listen to it with him, i was 10 years old....and while hearing Claire sing that, i started to cry,...even at that tender age, i understood, i could relate to the feelings she was portraying in that song,...and can even more so now 50 years later,...after losing many friends!
She did the song and left. Got paid the session fee of something equal to $100. She knew nothing about the album, or where the song went. Quite some time later, walking past a record shop she heard the song for the first time.
Yeah, their music is timeless and doesn't get old. I've listened to Comfortably Numb a million times and still get goosebumps with Gilmore's guitar solo.
White girl singing. Mind blown! She was paid 20 quid and got a bottle of Heineken for this performance. She did this in two takes. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!! One of the most soulful performances in the history of music. CLARE TORRY!
@@cbly Watch the link I posted above. The first take she was using words, and they told her they didn't like that. Then 2nd take she tried to use her voice as an instrument, and this was the result.
This singer without words bring us through the 5 stages of Death: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression anf finally Acceptance. She does this as a master class no?
@@oscarwilde6649 Animals is my favorite album, followed by Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Then Dark Side of the Moon followed closely by Wish You Were Here.
Always have loved Pink Floyd. Last year I was diagnosed with a terminal illness and told I’ll be lucky to make it into my 30’s. This song hits me a lot harder now but I still love it. Takes me through all the emotions and ends on acceptance 🙏 peace and love we all have our struggles
I totally agree. With one exception. Granted, Pink Floyd has been here a minute but look at where it’s expanding to. This channel is a perfect example. He says it himself “you guys got me exited for this”. Fans of KTF and fans of PF collided and here we are learning music we’ve never heard before. People dropping history of this album and that album. It’s fans BEING fans. We’re all different and we’re all here. I think this is what Floyd would have wanted. Different folks coming together and just listening and sharing. It’s awesome.
"Time", which is the song immediately before this, flows directly into this one so they should really be played together. The whole album really is one continuous experience that is totally worth investing your time into to hear as one unit. You won't regret it.
She says " WHY WHY WHY! " And then something about dying. In 35 years Not at the beginning of the song! I dont know what it was and dont care! I buried 2 sons to this song! Why Is the the only word I care about!
The vocals were done by one woman, Clare Torry, a 25 year old British singer.. It was an improvised vocal session where she was trying to feel out the song and understand what the guys wanted from her and made up the melody on the fly. She sung it twice fully and once partially. The final track was assembled from all three takes. That may be the difference that you are hearing. Good ear.
I've been fortunate to listen to PF thru Infinity IRS Series V speakers & McIntosh system. A religious experience without a doubt. You can't feel music thru headphones like you can feel with amazing sound system. It will truly move you into another plain of existence. A state of nirvana.
Welcome to the Pink Floyd fan club. This album was in the top 200 for 741 straight weeks. It totaled 884 weeks. That's 17 years. Listening to this album nonstop, from to back, is therapeutic and is recommended you do it periodically.
I remember how it lasted in the top 200 from 1973 when it debuted until the mid or late 1980s.... There is nothing out there in my opinion that comes close to the Dark Side of the Moon album or even some other PF material (there is a lot of it out there!)
Josh Keeling nope she did 2 1/2 takes. The 2nd one sounded far more emotional after she pretended she was an instrument. They had Clare start a 3rd take but she stopped halfway thru because she felt she was being repetitive. They used the 2 1/2 mixed. She said they showed no emotion so she figured she would not be on the album at all.
Easier said than done. How the F did she pull this outta herself, sober, underpaid and uncredited is beyond my comprehension. She must have been in some kind of epiphany during those days...
Watching you not able to contain the joy of hearing this song for the first time gave me goosebumps and tears of joy. I've been waiting for you to do this one and I'm so happy it finally happened, your appreciation for flawless music is a flawless victory!
I used to work nights and one morning I was driving home and on the 7 o'clock news it was announced that Richard Wright the keyboard player in the Floyd had died. The DJ that followed the news didn't say a word but just dropped the needle on this. I had to pull into a supermarket carpark close by and just sat there weeping as this played through.
This song is about death and the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. When this is performed live, it is usually sung by three separate vocalists. Denial and anger are sung by the first, bargaining and depression by the second, and acceptance by the third.
Wow that's absolutely awesome, and I never knew. Part of me thought that wish you were here was kinda like that but it didn't really fit stages quite right but this makes perfect sense. Damn they are so good
@@GENOBURRITO1 seriously. I think that was like, her first or ONLY take, too. Was she pregnant?? Or was that the woman who did Gimme Shelter ...... Can't recall
Watching your face as you understood what you were hearing was an absolute pleasure to me. I have enjoyed this album for over 30 years. Welcome, my friend. Welcome.
This extreme talent singing her emotions! Beautiful...isn't enough to describe this masterpiece. .. every time I hear this song it makes me think of how Mother Earth would sound if we could just hear her. Would she be in pain & euphoria at the same moment? Expressing joy & sorrow inside the same instant. She seems to express each emotion...all In one wild emotional roller coaster ride of sheer beauty, emotional depth & raw talent. Thank you so much!
Truthfully none of us were ready for PF the first time...even to this day I’ll find nuggets that I missed and I get to enjoy the soothing cocoon that is a Pink Floyd album...then graduate to full on religious ecstasy with a Pink Floyd concert!
In an interview years later, she said when they brought her into the studio, they weren't exactly sure what they wanted her to do, so they just handed her the mic and cut her loose. She, not sure what to do, she just went with the flow and sang purely from her soul......and holy shit! Frikken iconic......and beautiful, ain't it?
Preston, me again. This my last time. We all told you, but yet, like all the others, ye fail to listen, or we fail to be heard. The Dark Side of the Moon was made for you. You really should appreciate it in all it’s grandeur. From beginning to end. It is a 45 min. Emotional roller coaster. The Great Gig In the Sky is but one piece of the DSOTM pie. Eat it in one sitting. How you present it to us it does not matter. When you are finished, we will know. You will for sure let us know just like Paul Revere riding through the streets of Boston yelling “ the British are coming”.
PessottiHimself that would be ideal for us as viewers but pretty hard for him as a content creator to do. It’s good for him to listen to a bunch of songs and later on down the line he can do an album session where it’ll feel like the first time hearing it again.
As others have commented, this was all improvised. I literally can't imagine this level of innate musical talent. She heard their instrumentals barely a few hours before she showed up and recorded.... and laid down this soul-wrenching response.
So, according to Torrey, She was asked to come to the studio and had never actually heard the music. They played the song for her, told her to sing to it. She did a series of "babies" and they said, no, that isn't it. So, she belted put this magic on the second take and didn't hear the song again until she went and bought the album years later.
Clare Torry, the vocalist for TGGITS, got the equivalent of about $100 for her performance. She toured with Floyd for The Dark Side and I was fortunate enough to see the Milwaukee Cty Stadium show. I was absolutely blown away and utterly amazed when this little woman had the spot shown on her and she let loose. Some 50,000 people there and you could hear a pin drop while she sang....
some years back she actually got paid a lot of money when she started a lawsuit, and the FLOYD realized the unfairness and settled and took care of her
Yo, it’s hard to say which Pink Floyd songs are gonna bring out that feeling you got. There are so many great songs. It’s almost like, no matter which song you pick, you have an equal chance that you will be left speechless at the end. Pink Floyd is just that good.
This album taught me EVERYTHING I ever needed to know about motivation, morality, caring, greed, longing, and death is inevitable for all of us. Death is overblown in our culture. We fight it, despise it, and deny it applies to us. This tells us, Death is just the last part of a full life. They don't even try to go into "What's next". That is left up to you.
My dude, SAY IT LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK! Mortality is what makes life worth living. When people say "you know that is bad for you" or "you know that can kill you" I come back with "You know what the leading cause of death is, well, really the only cause? Life!"
Although not eager to die this is getting kinda boring... believing this is one small part of an immense existence I am curious to see what comes after this😎✌️
That is the power of Pink Floyd! Has always been. They always have a way of moving you in some way. If you love this- you will love Pink Floyd- Us and Them!
It does my heart good seeing you young people discover the timeless masterpieces created by Pink Floyd. Listen to all their albums. Each song is a journey into the heart and soul. They are beyond language.
Harrison Dennis: When Clare Torry first arrived at Abbey Road Studios, Pink Floyd told her the general themes of the album. She listened to the backing track a couple of times, then she put on the cans and began singing an "Oh baby, oh baby" type of scat, which was not what they wanted at all. David Gilmour was the only person to give her any direction, and offered her a can of Heinekin beer. Next, she tried sounding like an instrument, which they immediately liked. When they began to record her; she sang two and a half takes before she felt that they had enough. Engineer Alan Parsons then used a combination of those recordings for the finished product. th-cam.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/w-d-xo.html
Here is the deal, from a really old fart... Smoke a big blunt, put on some good headphones, kick back and listen to the entire "Dark side of the moon" album in one sitting.. All the songs are connected.. That's how us old farts did it back in the day..
Yeah and I could go out and land 4-5 decent jobs to choose from in a day or two... Times have changed my friend. But pot is becoming legal, better quality, and the record industry is dying, and their iron grip on what artists get heard is dying with them.
I am actually afraid to listen to this album everyday of my life because I don't want to become desensitized to it. People forget that this was 1973. You couldn't hide behind computers and technology. I have a strict rationing system now so I am doing OK.
No matter how weary my soul is, Claire Torrey never fails to make me feel better. If it hasn't been mentioned, she was given very little guidance and they did this in one or two takes. The story of how it got recorded is just as amazing as the song.
Legend has it that before this singer laid down this track, they told her to think of a loved one who just died and sing her emotions without words. And you get this masterpiece.
Will never forget the first time hearing this cruising down country gravel roads in the back of a Thunderbird T-top. God I miss the days before internet and social media. Our only concern was our immediate surroundings and friends
Its Ok to cry Brother!! ReaI Men Do Cry! I cried when I put my best friend in the ground when I went home. We would drop acid in the Army amd then listen to Floyd. I didnt drop any when I threw dirt on him but I wept like a school girl listening to this song. Pink Floyd is great at making you feel some tyoe of way.
sorry for your loss mate...its tough to lose a loved one! Pink Floyd truly were astonishing.....unique in their compostions.....im only in my 30s but i would have loved to be round in the 60s 70 listening to this dropping acid :) Roger Walters adn David Gilmour are 2 of my heroes.....Roger today is a "outcast" because of his political+social views....hated by the left! funfact - you may already be aware of - David Gilmour discovered Kate Bush and financed her initial recordings along with his band mates :)
You sir are a real man, and real men DO cry. I'm pleased that some of my countrymen and women have supplied condolence and enjoyment over the years, and I wish you nothing but the best of everything while we can still enjoy and appreciate what we still have.
There aren't a lot of reactors who listen to the whole albums because of copyright issues. Unfortunately, splitting up the songs is probably the only way to get these reactions up.
There is no "worse song" on Dark Side Of The Moon. That's why some people say this album is overrated...its just that good, there isn't a single skippable song on here. With that being said, you sir are a certified fucking idiot.
My mom passed away from complications with covid in January. I've always known what this song was about. I needed to play it recently because I knew it would help.me get thru these feelings. It's like having a weight frustrate you until the point of exhaustion and then having no energy left so you have to except it. Like death
I'll let him borrow my VHS so he can watch the whole thing from before they added the NASA footage, lol "...and an apple pie... and not the crust." "They only have the round apple pies here..." and, of course... "What would rock n roll be without feedback?"
My dad told me when he saw thus live way back in the day, that he teared up during this song and that she had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.
What Claire Torry did in that studio that historic day was EPIC. PERIOD. With all due respect to actual divas.....meaning those top drawer, elite female opera singers going back.....oh, let's say a hundred years.....I can't imagine a vocal performance as powerful...NO....as tranSCENdent as hers. AMEN dude,. You DID feel it in your soul.
Firstly the guy who says at the beginning of the track "I am not frightened of dying, why should I be frightened of dying."etc.etc. was the doorman/security guy at Abbey Road Studios where the album was recorded, in answer to PFs general questions about the thoughts of all the different people who were employed in a minor capacity at Abbey Road at that time. Many of the whispered voices you hear on this Album are not made by the band members themselves. Clare Torrey who "Sang" this track was paid $50 for it but in the early 2000s received an out of court settlement from the band and was co-credited with writing it. It is the only song on the album that she sung on .All the other tracks that had female singers were session singers. Most of us have seen the Clare Torry video interview where she talks about this song but I remember an interview she gave long before TH-cam ,Google etc. where she specifically says that Dave Gilmour took her to one side and asked her if she could improvise her singing to imagine how she would feel what dying would be like. I first heard The Great Gig in The Sky in 74 and had no idea what the song was about but I was left stunned into a deep mental silence. I thought the singer was a beautiful black soul singer who had gone unrecognised by me. The song still moves me deeply in a wonderful way to this day.(P.S.The other 4 females on the rest of TDSOTM were all session singers and the one who has the most prominent voice on the tracks "Time, Brain Damage/Eclipse was a lady called Doris Troy who was born in The Bronx.)
Dude...for real...listen to the entire Dark Side of the Moon album. If you aren’t in tears like a tidal wave by the end you aren’t human. Best overall album experience ever. 😎✌🏻
The different stages of grief, from life to acceptance of death. NEVER has it been more beautifully........bonded. Afterwards, you feel bonded with the music. Because we've all been through pain, loss, and grief. GOD bless you. Peace.
Never thought I could be bothered watching a vid like this but it was amazing to watch someone react to this song after hearing for the first time, hard when you keep pausing because I could never pause this once it has begun, been listening to this song/and Floyd since I was a kid, I am now 53 and it still moves me deeply .. waves of goosebumps and tears .. so glad you enjoyed it, now replay with eyes closed and commit to a full playthrough so as to feel the full impact, you will never be the same
This song touched you like it had me the 100 or so times I heard it! Her name is Claire Torrey. There’s a video on YT where she talks about the making of this song.
I’m enjoying your reactions so much out on my deck that my neighbors are probably going to call the police! It makes me so happy that us “Boomers” have music that reaches everyone! It’s so cool how music brings us ALL together... we really need this right now. I consider everyone brothers and sisters of God. I love your channel. Keep up the great work brother!
I know maybe people suggest this too, but if you haven't done it yet, listen to the whole Dark Side Of The Moon album. Trust me, you won't loose your time. The album is about life, from the first Breathe to the final Eclipse. Aaaaand, as you like this kind of female voices and also epic guitar solos (I've noticed that in other videos :D), you should listen to : Dream Theater "The Spirit Carries On" live version with Theresa Thomason. I bet you'll get goosebumps with that one.
Ye but we all know the story of the Wall , Darkside Etc But listening through the wall when i was 7 cz my mum was a pot head n head back to our flat to crash after the club with friends. DARKSIDE IS IN MY BLOOD MAN. IM NOW FUKIN 48 with a mancave to die for. AC⚡️DC, FLOYD, LATE BEATLES ( white album, sgt peppers etc) ZEPPELIN, THE DOORS, ZAPPA, OASIS, too many to mention. 1990 retro sony stack system original. All albums first press editions duplicated on cd. Now startin to look for tapes. MUSIC IS MY LIFE AND ITS ALL GOOD. Years of hard work on man cave and finished only weeks ago WHOOOOOO🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Get them ear plugs out neighbours Rock on man fatzappa.
Dark Side of the Moon is an amazing compilation of music. One of the best albums of I've ever heard. I first heard this around 1972-73, and I still listen to it all these years later.
Man, this is gonna be long. For that, I’m sorry. But you have to understand something. This album and this song has gotten me through some hard times. Hard times. I won’t go through what all it means to me because this, is about you. It’s an incredible feeling to come here, watch you go through this song, and see you.....feel. Not react. Not analyze. Feel. I hope you know that there are probably a bunch of people feeling a certain type a way that connect with you because of how you create your videos. It’s as rare as any sole invading notes on a bar. Some people have it, some don’t. Bro, I don’t know where you want your channel to take you, but I hope it takes you there. And even further.
Your reaction to this & it reminded me of how i felt first time i heard it man.. If you want the full feel & to see how unbelievable they are live, ive been realy blessed because ive experienced Pink Floyd live doing this track.. Watch great gig in the sky:- PULSE LIVE.. It will blow you away, it cleansed my soul & brought me to tears👌👍👍
“It touched me”. You experienced EXACTLY what the song said it was and WHERE it was. The great gig in the sky aka heaven aka heavenly hosts aka angels singing as you approach. You got it without knowing it.👍😎
My father introduced me to Pink Floyd when I was a child. I'm 48 now, and me and my father still drink and listen to Floyd. Still my favorite band. Welcome to the machine my friend ;)]
Isnt it wonderful when music makes you "feel some type of way"? That's what art does. It invokes emotions. And what would we be without emotions? Just empty
Shine On You Crazy Diamond literally changed my life and the way I look at music. I'll subscribe to you, just to see if you react to it someday. Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all time. I've seen both David Gilmour AND Roger Waters live in concert. Hoping Nick Mason comes to the US someday.
1st time I heard this I was 18. 8 of us round my friends flat in Brixton. We would trip from friday night to sunday night. Just getting wasted on the old orange sunshine tabs. We would mainly play Floyd and Dylan and jam together. But I remember so clear how I reacted to this track. I saw music notes and waves just streaming into me and just was overcome with emotion. My sister had died a couple months before and I saw her and felt she said Its all OK. I met my wife to be the next week and was together 48 years till she passed. Music brings strong emotions and memories.
I'm loving that you're injoying some serious classic rock !I saw them in concert in 87, been listening to Floyd since the early 70's💞Dark side of the moon is def my fav, but, every thing Floyd does gets right into your soul✌💞
Watch this go viral I planted a seed.
For real. I must have re-watched this reaction twenty times in the last two weeks.
Stephen Bray PINK FLOYD was the seed for many a generation and more generations to come. It was planted in the sixties and never stopped blooming.
Rock on man
fatzappa

Was into this when it first came out. Wore the grooves out of my record and had to buy a new one. It can still make me cry after all this time.

Nothing makes me smile harder than seeing people experience Pink Floyd for the first time.
Landry Hammond i’m in tears here . This song has a weird effect on me , no words are uttered in it and yet it gets me all the time .
Landry Hammond I completely agree. It is so great seeing people experience Floyd for the first time. What a magical journey. Some people say you need to take drugs to appreciate Pink Floyd. The truth is that Pink Floyd is a drug in and of itself. A myriad of emotions that no other band can supply. I've been on the Floyd train for over 35 years, and I hope to keep on riding it for another 35 years. Long live the greatest band of all time!
Landry Hammond pink Floyd
truest words ever spoken
The story behind this song is so powerful! Its about loosing a loved one . It will always hurt, but with time. It becomes ok and just part of life. I dont know what the guys in the band were doing. Drugs, booze , life or what ever it was. i wish I had some.
Watching people discover Pink Floyd is like watching a baby discover chocolate.
It's better than that. I can live without chocolate.
I cant imagine a baby enjoying actual nice dark chocolate, sugar and corn syrup with like 1% cocoa yeah.
FUCKIN PERFECT!
+Loren Darcy Absolutely not true. Babies have to be taught to like sweet things. They prefer bland tasting things because their mother's milk is bland. Babies in modern society have been taught to like sweet things because when baby food began to be sold for mother's convenience, the mothers would taste it and say it wasn't good, it had no flavor. The manufacturers had to put sugar in it to get it past the mothers, and thus the babies were basically forced to learn to like sugar. It's a vicious cycle, but it in no way reflects nature. (Of course, babies wouldn't like real chocolate either, because it's bitter as hell, and bitterness is a flavor that also has to be learned acceptance. I can't stand the stuff, myself.)
I would say like def baby discovering sound.
There's a reason that "Dark Side of the Moon" spent 917 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Top 100. That's 17.64 years.
As of 3\1\19 Dark side has been on the Billboard 200 for 942 weeks. The album is a timeless masterpiece.
Over 1600 weeks “on the charts”, about 31 years. 943 weeks on the Billboard 200, about 18 years!
The answer to the question “If you were stuck on a desert island, which 1 album would you be there with”?
And it went off because they've changed their rating system...
Ready to go down the RABBIT hole?? We never went to the moon PINK FLOYD knew..... watch this people.... th-cam.com/video/0MHFBsYaX7I/w-d-xo.html

There is a rumor she didn't get paid for this.
@@constantinevanghele9264 pretty sure she did. Alan Parsons produced it. She actually tried add some words and they said no just oh and ah. Perfect
You know the coolest thing about these vocals? No autotune.
She did it on the 2nd take, after being advised to let it all out!
Proper stuff.
And no lyrics
There are people who, even after seeing Clare Tory interviewed, will still not believe she's a white British lady... :-)
No autotune oh yeah she's the real deal.
I been listening to this song for over forty years, it STILL gives me goosebumps.
Same classic timelessness
AMEN BROTHER ... '73 WAS MY FIRST TIME, HOOKED ON THIS SONG EVER SINCE!
Me too
Same here
Every time.
Take a bow Clare Torry. Greatest vocal performance ever.

My brother, 7 years older than me, bought the album when it first came out, and had me listen to it with him, i was 10 years old....and while hearing Claire sing that, i started to cry,...even at that tender age, i understood, i could relate to the feelings she was portraying in that song,...and can even more so now 50 years later,...after losing many friends!
She did the song and left. Got paid the session fee of something equal to $100. She knew nothing about the album, or where the song went. Quite some time later, walking past a record shop she heard the song for the first time.
Watch her interview. She’s Awesome in this song!
Once you get into Pink Floyd there ain't no going back forever your life is changed
Right? It's one thing to hear Floyd or even listen to them. Once you actually feel what they are conveying... It engulfs you.
YOU feel like i do..
Factuals
Yeah, their music is timeless and doesn't get old. I've listened to Comfortably Numb a million times and still get goosebumps with Gilmore's guitar solo.
Infuckingdeed.
White girl singing. Mind blown! She was paid 20 quid and got a bottle of Heineken for this performance. She did this in two takes. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!! One of the most soulful performances in the history of music. CLARE TORRY!
They used the first take, amazing!
@@cbly Watch the link I posted above. The first take she was using words, and they told her they didn't like that. Then 2nd take she tried to use her voice as an instrument, and this was the result.

Yeah... This is the most correct statement in history :)
Never

love this
This singer without words bring us through the 5 stages of Death: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression anf finally Acceptance. She does this as a master class no?
No doubt.
It penetrates your ring / soul - a masterpiece
Good best guess. All it ever can be is a best guess on most questions.
Clare was told very little about the song other than it's the struggles of life and death.
❤
Probably the most emotional rollercoaster song and not a single lyric... Genius
Almost 50 years later and this album still blows my mind.
My favorite Floyd album, hands down. And THIS, my favorite song.
@@oscarwilde6649 Animals is my favorite album, followed by Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Then Dark Side of the Moon followed closely by Wish You Were Here.
@@oscarwilde6649 Me too and me too. Still get chills every time.
40 years later. Actually Dark Side of the Moon was realesed in 1978

Always have loved Pink Floyd. Last year I was diagnosed with a terminal illness and told I’ll be lucky to make it into my 30’s. This song hits me a lot harder now but I still love it. Takes me through all the emotions and ends on acceptance 🙏 peace and love we all have our struggles
Bless you.
This isn't the end...❤❤❤
Try exercise. If possible. It can do surprising things to the human body. Even a little bit. But more is better.
All my prayers to you, brother
All my prayers to you, brother
I've always felt that this song should have been on the Golden Record that was launched on the Voyager crafts.
Same, mate.
Alien ships arrive to Earth with tribute.
Floyd needs to be discovered by even more people. I actually feel bad for people who have never heard Floyd music. Good to see you found them sir.
I totally agree. With one exception. Granted, Pink Floyd has been here a minute but look at where it’s expanding to. This channel is a perfect example. He says it himself “you guys got me exited for this”. Fans of KTF and fans of PF collided and here we are learning music we’ve never heard before. People dropping history of this album and that album. It’s fans BEING fans. We’re all different and we’re all here. I think this is what Floyd would have wanted. Different folks coming together and just listening and sharing. It’s awesome.
You said it mate.
Should be thought in school.
Played this song over and over during labour of my youngest, lost myself in the music for a while, it eased the pain. 😁
Wow, seriously?
That is beautiful
That's pretty cool. I'd imagine it did a pretty good job of masking the screams 😉
I imagine this song might mean something to him later on in life
Never clicked so fast, dude you should check shine on you crazy diamond!!!
Same lol
Parts I-V
PLEASE! Been asking for this one since the first Floyd reaction. Shine on you crazy diamond I-V!!!!!
Best pink floyd song. Been telling him to react to it for some time haha. Hopefully he reads your comment.
I'm just waiting for him to react to it. I have a feeling he will be amazed
"Time", which is the song immediately before this, flows directly into this one so they should really be played together. The whole album really is one continuous experience that is totally worth investing your time into to hear as one unit. You won't regret it.
And just think. She doesn’t say a single word. She didn’t have to
She says " WHY WHY WHY! " And then something about dying. In 35 years Not at the beginning of the song! I dont know what it was and dont care! I buried 2 sons to this song! Why Is the the only word I care about!
Mike Comstock there’s an overdub near the end where a woman (not the singer) says “I never said I was frightened of dying”
The deepest things words can't describe
I think it's 3 women singing. Each sings a solo. If you listen close you can hear the difference in the voices.
The vocals were done by one woman, Clare Torry, a 25 year old British singer.. It was an improvised vocal session where she was trying to feel out the song and understand what the guys wanted from her and made up the melody on the fly. She sung it twice fully and once partially. The final track was assembled from all three takes. That may be the difference that you are hearing. Good ear.
I’ve spent thousands on audio equipment just to hear Floyd in it’s full glory
Nothing compares..
Can I come over
Give me my Bose headphones and a dark room and I'm straight.
SACD - 5.1 surround - Top of the line Pioneer Amp - B & W speakers - quiet house - turn the volume up - close your eyes - hit play - awesome!
I've been fortunate to listen to PF thru Infinity IRS Series V speakers & McIntosh system. A religious experience without a doubt. You can't feel music thru headphones like you can feel with amazing sound system. It will truly move you into another plain of existence. A state of nirvana.
I've smoked copious amounts of Weed to hear Floyd in it's full glory.
Bro react to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" or "Dogs" by Pink floyd
Garri yes shine on you crazy diamond is that beez neez
Echoes
Both!!!
Also I like have a cigar son
@Mike Forti Wish You Were Here is the album name.
Of all the brothers that review music, I feel this cat genuinely appreciates the music and has an ear for it.
Been listening for 40 years and it never gets old. Never.
Never ever!
How can an eternal masterpiece be old. No way bro!
You should hear it live on Delicate sounds of thunder. The video.
After being a devoted PF fan for going on 50 years...I am so jealous that you are hearing this for this first time.....Wonderful for you bro.....
Welcome to the Pink Floyd fan club.
This album was in the top 200 for 741 straight weeks. It totaled 884 weeks. That's 17 years.
Listening to this album nonstop, from to back, is therapeutic and is recommended you do it periodically.
I remember how it lasted in the top 200 from 1973 when it debuted until the mid or late 1980s.... There is nothing out there in my opinion that comes close to the Dark Side of the Moon album or even some other PF material (there is a lot of it out there!)
Even better. Might hit 1000 mark when the 50th anniversary edition comes out which is just 5 years away.
We´re all invited to the " Great Gig in the Sky", some day ... Greetings from Argentina ! ( sorry about my english )
Your English is just fine.
I understand you just fine
you said it perfectly.
Clare Torry ad-libbed this vocal and was totally convinced she’d done a terrible job
AND DID IT IN ONE TAKE WITH THE ONLY INSTRUCTION TO NOT DO THE 'O BABY BABY' SHIT
@@thepunadude That's not true. She did 7 takes and David, not Roger, mixed all 7 takes to get the one we hear on the final version
David Gilmour was like "Here's the chord progression...if that helps."
Josh Keeling nope she did 2 1/2 takes. The 2nd one sounded far more emotional after she pretended she was an instrument. They had Clare start a 3rd take but she stopped halfway thru because she felt she was being repetitive. They used the 2 1/2 mixed. She said they showed no emotion so she figured she would not be on the album at all.
She later sued for creative rights to the song, and later pressings list her as a co-author
It's about death. Clare starts off with rage at dying which slowly transforms into calm acceptance.
Not about one's own death, but the death of a parent. Whole album is a journey from birth to death and this is mid album.
Erol Dinch it’s about Richard Wright’s fear of death to be exact 🤫
Jonny Lumberjack I never knew that
Easier said than done. How the F did she pull this outta herself, sober, underpaid and uncredited is beyond my comprehension. She must have been in some kind of epiphany during those days...
Nah birth, growth, sex, orgasm, aging, death.
Watching you not able to contain the joy of hearing this song for the first time gave me goosebumps and tears of joy. I've been waiting for you to do this one and I'm so happy it finally happened, your appreciation for flawless music is a flawless victory!
Ross Geller Earghasm
Clare Torry did the searing vocals. It is said unrehearsed. They told her to just go with the flow. A masterpiece
I used to work nights and one morning I was driving home and on the 7 o'clock news it was announced that Richard Wright the keyboard player in the Floyd had died. The DJ that followed the news didn't say a word but just dropped the needle on this. I had to pull into a supermarket carpark close by and just sat there weeping as this played through.
I burst into tears when a friend called to tell me n the friends I was with thought I was crazy lol
I did to. 😣😥. Floyd is my favorite band.
@@marjoryarmstrong6953 me to
Greatest keyboardest of all time!!!
It's a beautiful piece to play on the piano. The chords are fantastic. Rick was a great musician.
This song is about death and the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. When this is performed live, it is usually sung by three separate vocalists. Denial and anger are sung by the first, bargaining and depression by the second, and acceptance by the third.
That was beautiful, well said
Wow that's absolutely awesome, and I never knew. Part of me thought that wish you were here was kinda like that but it didn't really fit stages quite right but this makes perfect sense. Damn they are so good
When they can find one person who can do it all they'll use one person.
@@erikbarrett85 That makes Clare Torry even more incredible as she did it by herself
@@GENOBURRITO1 seriously. I think that was like, her first or ONLY take, too. Was she pregnant?? Or was that the woman who did Gimme Shelter ...... Can't recall
Watching your face as you understood what you were hearing was an absolute pleasure to me. I have enjoyed this album for over 30 years. Welcome, my friend. Welcome.
And for those still rocking try 46 years!
This extreme talent singing her emotions!
Beautiful...isn't enough to describe this masterpiece.
.. every time I hear this song it makes me think of how Mother Earth would sound if we could just hear her. Would she be in pain & euphoria at the same moment? Expressing joy & sorrow inside the same instant. She seems to express each emotion...all In one wild emotional roller coaster ride of sheer beauty, emotional depth & raw talent. Thank you so much!
To the (pink floyd) machine...I hope hes heard them all now?
This guy is the most genuine guy of any 'first time reaction' channels

just wanted to say, i never understood the appeal of reaction videos until i watched you listen to this. now i get it.

HE WASN’T READY! What an incredibly powerful song!
Truthfully none of us were ready for PF the first time...even to this day I’ll find nuggets that I missed and I get to enjoy the soothing cocoon that is a Pink Floyd album...then graduate to full on religious ecstasy with a Pink Floyd concert!

More so with the lossless remasters.

When I was 15 this whole album gave me chills. I’m now 60 and it’s even better!!!!
Same here. 15, headphones, floating away.
In an interview years later, she said when they brought her into the studio, they weren't exactly sure what they wanted her to do, so they just handed her the mic and cut her loose.
She, not sure what to do, she just went with the flow and sang purely from her soul......and holy shit!
Frikken iconic......and beautiful, ain't it?
Unique moment of inspiration indeed
Her name was Clare Torry 👍
Preston, me again. This my last time. We all told you, but yet, like all the others, ye fail to listen, or we fail to be heard. The Dark Side of the Moon was made for you. You really should appreciate it in all it’s grandeur. From beginning to end. It is a 45 min. Emotional roller coaster. The Great Gig In the Sky is but one piece of the DSOTM pie. Eat it in one sitting. How you present it to us it does not matter. When you are finished, we will know. You will for sure let us know just like Paul Revere riding through the streets of Boston yelling “ the British are coming”.
literally this, give this gentleman an upvote
This!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💯💯
I'm begging, stop listening to single songs and listen to full album like it should be done
PessottiHimself that would be ideal for us as viewers but pretty hard for him as a content creator to do. It’s good for him to listen to a bunch of songs and later on down the line he can do an album session where it’ll feel like the first time hearing it again.
With the way TH-cam is that’s near impossible at this point. That video would be copyright striked so fast. Just the way it is.
She walked into the studio...they said sing something to fit the music........she did and walked out an hour later!
They said think about death..... The best album EVER made.....
Absolutely right. Crazy how that worked out.
she even said ...i hope they like it .....
real science she did not do it in an hou
...and mic dropped!!!
As others have commented, this was all improvised. I literally can't imagine this level of innate musical talent. She heard their instrumentals barely a few hours before she showed up and recorded.... and laid down this soul-wrenching response.
So, according to Torrey, She was asked to come to the studio and had never actually heard the music. They played the song for her, told her to sing to it. She did a series of "babies" and they said, no, that isn't it. So, she belted put this magic on the second take and didn't hear the song again until she went and bought the album years later.
Thing that always gets me, No lyrics just a voice. A voice can convey pure emotions sometimes words are not needed.
But she stated that she didn't have any particular emotions, real idea or direction when she did this.
once you go pink you don't come back.
Well, that's a broad statement 😂😂😂
when you hear all that is pink it will make ya think
Once you go Floyd you're never annoyed.
It's a reach, I know.
Once you go pink everything else stinks.
You start to think
Clare Torry, the vocalist for TGGITS, got the equivalent of about $100 for her performance. She toured with Floyd for The Dark Side and I was fortunate enough to see the Milwaukee Cty Stadium show. I was absolutely blown away and utterly amazed when this little woman had the spot shown on her and she let loose. Some 50,000 people there and you could hear a pin drop while she sang....
some years back she actually got paid a lot of money when she started a lawsuit, and the FLOYD realized the unfairness and settled and took care of her
Good for her. From Floyd's perspective I suppose they said she took a singing gig, did it (albeit extraordinarily) and got paid.
@@bazzer124
Which technically, they'd be correct.
You are very lucky to be there. I didnt know she sang it live with them, nobody mentions that, just the studio session and the lawsuit
I was at the same concert. Second base area. Unbelievable experience.
"My Soul Left My Body ..." We know how you feel Brother!
Vocalist, Clare Torry
The power of this song, no real lyrics, just emotion.
EGGGZACLY! The ULTIMATE BLUES SONG
If your soul left your body, then you truly have experienced Pink Floyd ✌❤
💖💖💖💖
AMEN SISTER ... MUSIC SHALL UNITE US ... WELL NOT JUSTIN BEIBER ... HES CABAL!
Yo, it’s hard to say which Pink Floyd songs are gonna bring out that feeling you got. There are so many great songs. It’s almost like, no matter which song you pick, you have an equal chance that you will be left speechless at the end. Pink Floyd is just that good.
I SO AGREE!! Every song is an experience that can't be explained.
This album taught me EVERYTHING I ever needed to know about motivation, morality, caring, greed, longing, and death is inevitable for all of us. Death is overblown in our culture. We fight it, despise it, and deny it applies to us. This tells us, Death is just the last part of a full life. They don't even try to go into "What's next". That is left up to you.
My dude, SAY IT LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK! Mortality is what makes life worth living. When people say "you know that is bad for you" or "you know that can kill you" I come back with "You know what the leading cause of death is, well, really the only cause? Life!"
Although not eager to die this is getting kinda boring... believing this is one small part of an immense existence I am curious to see what comes after this😎✌️
You have hit the publius enigma on the head....
That is the power of Pink Floyd! Has always been. They always have a way of moving you in some way. If you love this- you will love Pink Floyd- Us and Them!
I was just going to say Us and Them.
Flawless victory! Putting in a request for Floyd's 'On the turning away'. Made this old man cry.
09EvoX GREAT pick buddy! He may cry during that one man.
High Hopes is another good one for me
@@igottabasketballjones7420 Man, Floyd just grabs you by the collar and says THIS is what it's all about.

Wait for it....
@@TS-qq7vr ahaha... she knocked him right up out of his chair.
It does my heart good seeing you young people discover the timeless masterpieces created by Pink Floyd. Listen to all their albums. Each song is a journey into the heart and soul. They are beyond language.
Bro, just rewind all you want, especially with Pink Floyd. No one will mind trust me.
TRUTH!!! I was hoping he would because we know, we absolutely know.
She did that shit in two takes...completely improvised.
Harrison Dennis Two takes? I'd always heard it was just one. Doesn't matter though, it's amazing.
Yep. Great vocalist
Harrison Dennis: When Clare Torry first arrived at Abbey Road Studios, Pink Floyd told her the general themes of the album. She listened to the backing track a couple of times, then she put on the cans and began singing an "Oh baby, oh baby" type of scat, which was not what they wanted at all. David Gilmour was the only person to give her any direction, and offered her a can of Heinekin beer. Next, she tried sounding like an instrument, which they immediately liked. When they began to record her; she sang two and a half takes before she felt that they had enough. Engineer Alan Parsons then used a combination of those recordings for the finished product. th-cam.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/w-d-xo.html
Ann’s Claire Tory thought you that she did a horrible Job.
I've seen the interview and know the whole story. So I summed it up in one short sentence...it's the nature of YT comments.
Here is the deal, from a really old fart... Smoke a big blunt, put on some good headphones, kick back and listen to the entire "Dark side of the moon" album in one sitting.. All the songs are connected.. That's how us old farts did it back in the day..
TX Rider ...not so old fartess here, you said it! Aaah times were simple then...good clean weed, better music than today!🤗😎😃
Yeah and I could go out and land 4-5 decent jobs to choose from in a day or two... Times have changed my friend. But pot is becoming legal, better quality, and the record industry is dying, and their iron grip on what artists get heard is dying with them.
Them were the days :)
Pink Floyd music will make you think you're stoned even if you don't smoke.
This is the greatest album to listen to sober, stoned, and on mushrooms.
THIS ALBUM CAN BE LISTENED TO EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE, IT WILL AFFECT YOU DIFFERENTLY EACH TIME!
This comment......this fucking comment sent shivers down my spine because of how true it is!!!!
I am actually afraid to listen to this album everyday of my life because I don't want to become desensitized to it. People forget that this was 1973. You couldn't hide behind computers and technology. I have a strict rationing system now so I am doing OK.
The second “HOLD ONNN BRUUUHHHH!!!!” Had me dying LOL
No matter how weary my soul is, Claire Torrey never fails to make me feel better. If it hasn't been mentioned, she was given very little guidance and they did this in one or two takes. The story of how it got recorded is just as amazing as the song.
Legend has it that before this singer laid down this track, they told her to think of a loved one who just died and sing her emotions without words. And you get this masterpiece.
Molalla River Spice Co I think it was more a journey through life from birth, growth, puberty, sex, orgasm, aging and death
brilliant
Not so. No direction. It's a session. 7pm - 10pm.. Do the job. Sing. Go home. Next day.
Clare laid down 3tracks in about 40 mins. in the studio. Alan Parson was on the sound boards and he is master engineer on the whole DSOTM album.
Hands up everyone that spent most of the 70's - 80's screaming along to each note whilst driving alone and dealing with life
...and rewinding the whispering part to get the words.
Doing this since I first heard them back in high school in 2005. Fucking timeless
Will never forget the first time hearing this cruising down country gravel roads in the back of a Thunderbird T-top. God I miss the days before internet and social media. Our only concern was our immediate surroundings and friends
Yo. Over here.
She walked out thinking she did no good.
You nailed it girl!
Its Ok to cry Brother!! ReaI Men Do Cry! I cried when I put my best friend in the ground when I went home. We would drop acid in the Army amd then listen to Floyd. I didnt drop any when I threw dirt on him but I wept like a school girl listening to this song. Pink Floyd is great at making you feel some tyoe of way.
Amen. And condolences. I've definitely felt similarly...
I cried during the first song of my first Maiden concert.
sorry for your loss mate...its tough to lose a loved one! Pink Floyd truly were astonishing.....unique in their compostions.....im only in my 30s but i would have loved to be round in the 60s 70 listening to this dropping acid :) Roger Walters adn David Gilmour are 2 of my heroes.....Roger today is a "outcast" because of his political+social views....hated by the left! funfact - you may already be aware of - David Gilmour discovered Kate Bush and financed her initial recordings along with his band mates :)
"Real men do cry"
No. No they don't.
You sir are a real man, and real men DO cry. I'm pleased that some of my countrymen and women have supplied condolence and enjoyment over the years, and I wish you nothing but the best of everything while we can still enjoy and appreciate what we still have.
React to "Money” by Pink Floyd!
Stop requesting songs from the Dark Side of the Moon, he should listen to full album like it was intended
PessottiHimself that’s what I’ve saying, but he’s not doing that so might as well request individual songs.
There aren't a lot of reactors who listen to the whole albums because of copyright issues. Unfortunately, splitting up the songs is probably the only way to get these reactions up.
Money is the worse song on the album
There is no "worse song" on Dark Side Of The Moon. That's why some people say this album is overrated...its just that good, there isn't a single skippable song on here. With that being said, you sir are a certified fucking idiot.
My mom passed away from complications with covid in January. I've always known what this song was about. I needed to play it recently because I knew it would help.me get thru these feelings. It's like having a weight frustrate you until the point of exhaustion and then having no energy left so you have to except it. Like death
Echos live In Pompeii. It’s a video inside an ancient amphitheater just before dark side of the moon. It’s insane.
I'll let him borrow my VHS so he can watch the whole thing from before they added the NASA footage, lol
"...and an apple pie... and not the crust."
"They only have the round apple pies here..."
and, of course...
"What would rock n roll be without feedback?"
Yes it is❤️❤️
My dad told me when he saw thus live way back in the day, that he teared up during this song and that she had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond, you gotta do that one as ur next Pink Floyd video! Lovin’ your videos tho bro keep it up!
definetly!
Parts I-V
What Claire Torry did in that studio that historic day was EPIC. PERIOD. With all due respect to actual divas.....meaning those top drawer, elite female opera singers going back.....oh, let's say a hundred years.....I can't imagine a vocal performance as powerful...NO....as tranSCENdent as hers. AMEN dude,. You DID feel it in your soul.
Firstly the guy who says at the beginning of the track "I am not frightened of dying, why should I be frightened of dying."etc.etc. was the doorman/security guy at Abbey Road Studios where the album was recorded, in answer to PFs general questions about the thoughts of all the different people who were employed in a minor capacity at Abbey Road at that time. Many of the whispered voices you hear on this Album are not made by the band members themselves. Clare Torrey who "Sang" this track was paid $50 for it but in the early 2000s received an out of court settlement from the band and was co-credited with writing it. It is the only song on the album that she sung on .All the other tracks that had female singers were session singers. Most of us have seen the Clare Torry video interview where she talks about this song but I remember an interview she gave long before TH-cam ,Google etc. where she specifically says that Dave Gilmour took her to one side and asked her if she could improvise her singing to imagine how she would feel what dying would be like. I first heard The Great Gig in The Sky in 74 and had no idea what the song was about but I was left stunned into a deep mental silence. I thought the singer was a beautiful black soul singer who had gone unrecognised by me. The song still moves me deeply in a wonderful way to this day.(P.S.The other 4 females on the rest of TDSOTM were all session singers and the one who has the most prominent voice on the tracks "Time, Brain Damage/Eclipse was a lady called Doris Troy who was born in The Bronx.)
@Rodzilla not true. Paul did record for em but his part was never used.
3:39 had me dying because king almost hit the same high note as Clare Torry 😂😂😂
Caleb Friday 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah actually...😂😆😆😂
That's hilarious. I rewound to listen again 😂
Not to many people know who she is thanks for putting her name out when I first her this song many many years ago I had to find out who she was hahaha
He got UUUPPP... physically and vocally. Lawlz!
Dude...for real...listen to the entire Dark Side of the Moon album. If you aren’t in tears like a tidal wave by the end you aren’t human. Best overall album experience ever. 😎✌🏻
Best album in the fucking world!
Yep, gotta do the album, only way to do it, it's only 40 minutes or so,
Turn the lights off and the sound up. No interruptions. Lay on the floor and enjoy the experience.
Just reading your post made me fuckin tear up!
No fancy editing or mixing - that’s her voice.
Please listen to Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Dark Side of the Moon - headset, late at night, no lights and just letting it take you away; nothing better!
Cathy K the best music should be listened to with eyes (wide) shut. I miss a lot at concerts, but I also experience more at the same time!
Exactly. I'm an artist so late nights I'm drawing my personal stuff in a lamp with pink floyd in the background. Everything is one then.
The different stages of grief, from life to acceptance of death. NEVER has it been more beautifully........bonded. Afterwards, you feel bonded with the music. Because we've all been through pain, loss, and grief. GOD bless you. Peace.
The golden age of music!!!
!💗🎼🎶🎵👍😎
I must have heard this 1000 times and it NEVER gets old..
Never thought I could be bothered watching a vid like this but it was amazing to watch someone react to this song after hearing for the first time, hard when you keep pausing because I could never pause this once it has begun, been listening to this song/and Floyd since I was a kid, I am now 53 and it still moves me deeply .. waves of goosebumps and tears .. so glad you enjoyed it, now replay with eyes closed and commit to a full playthrough so as to feel the full impact, you will never be the same
This song touched you like it had me the 100 or so times I heard it! Her name is Claire Torrey. There’s a video on YT where she talks about the making of this song.

Seeing people react positively is like discovering the song (again) for the first time.
I’m enjoying your reactions so much out on my deck that my neighbors are probably going to call the police! It makes me so happy that us “Boomers” have music that reaches everyone! It’s so cool how music brings us ALL together... we really need this right now. I consider everyone brothers and sisters of God. I love your channel. Keep up the great work brother!
Your a tough dude. The first time I heard this, I have tears drippin from my face.
I stumbled upon this.....your reaction is how I felt at the tender age of 14......
i feel you darlin......hopefully you delve into pink floyd.
I know maybe people suggest this too, but if you haven't done it yet, listen to the whole Dark Side Of The Moon album. Trust me, you won't loose your time. The album is about life, from the first Breathe to the final Eclipse.
Aaaaand, as you like this kind of female voices and also epic guitar solos (I've noticed that in other videos :D), you should listen to : Dream Theater "The Spirit Carries On" live version with Theresa Thomason. I bet you'll get goosebumps with that one.
I play darkside of the moon everyday driving home from work
It’s true
Ye but we all know the story of the Wall , Darkside Etc
But listening through the wall when i was 7 cz my mum was a pot head n head back to our flat to crash after the club with friends. DARKSIDE IS IN MY BLOOD MAN. IM NOW FUKIN 48 with a mancave to die for. AC⚡️DC, FLOYD, LATE BEATLES ( white album, sgt peppers etc) ZEPPELIN, THE DOORS, ZAPPA, OASIS, too many to mention. 1990 retro sony stack system original. All albums first press editions duplicated on cd. Now startin to look for tapes.
MUSIC IS MY LIFE AND ITS ALL GOOD. Years of hard work on man cave and finished only weeks ago WHOOOOOO🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Get them ear plugs out neighbours
Rock on man
fatzappa.
Agreed
Pros and cons of hitchhiking by Roger Waters also fantastic.
Dark Side of the Moon is an amazing compilation of music. One of the best albums of I've ever heard. I first heard this around 1972-73, and I still listen to it all these years later.
Man, this is gonna be long. For that, I’m sorry. But you have to understand something. This album and this song has gotten me through some hard times. Hard times. I won’t go through what all it means to me because this, is about you.
It’s an incredible feeling to come here, watch you go through this song, and see you.....feel. Not react. Not analyze. Feel. I hope you know that there are probably a bunch of people feeling a certain type a way that connect with you because of how you create your videos. It’s as rare as any sole invading notes on a bar. Some people have it, some don’t.
Bro, I don’t know where you want your channel to take you, but I hope it takes you there. And even further.
Thank you so much for those kinds words. It’s really meant a lot to me. I sincerely mean that.
Your reaction to this & it reminded me of how i felt first time i heard it man.. If you want the full feel & to see how unbelievable they are live, ive been realy blessed because ive experienced Pink Floyd live doing this track.. Watch great gig in the sky:- PULSE LIVE.. It will blow you away, it cleansed my soul & brought me to tears👌👍👍
“It touched me”. You experienced EXACTLY what the song said it was and WHERE it was. The great gig in the sky aka heaven aka heavenly hosts aka angels singing as you approach. You got it without knowing it.👍😎
Clare Torry!
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon changed my life!
My father introduced me to Pink Floyd when I was a child. I'm 48 now, and me and my father still drink and listen to Floyd. Still my favorite band. Welcome to the machine my friend ;)]
the whole album really works as one whole piece.
Isnt it wonderful when music makes you "feel some type of way"? That's what art does. It invokes emotions. And what would we be without emotions? Just empty
🙏
Indeed!
Shine On You Crazy Diamond literally changed my life and the way I look at music. I'll subscribe to you, just to see if you react to it someday. Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all time. I've seen both David Gilmour AND Roger Waters live in concert. Hoping Nick Mason comes to the US someday.
1st time I heard this I was 18. 8 of us round my friends flat in Brixton. We would trip from friday night to sunday night. Just getting wasted on the old orange sunshine tabs. We would mainly play Floyd and Dylan and jam together. But I remember so clear how I reacted to this track. I saw music notes and waves just streaming into me and just was overcome with emotion. My sister had died a couple months before and I saw her and felt she said Its all OK. I met my wife to be the next week and was together 48 years till she passed. Music brings strong emotions and memories.
You have an old soul man! You are able to appreciate older music in the way we did when we first heard it! Keep it up!
I'm loving that you're injoying some serious classic rock !I saw them in concert in 87, been listening to Floyd since the early 70's💞Dark side of the moon is def my fav, but, every thing Floyd does gets right into your soul✌💞
Pink Floyd is the bridge between Rock and R&B/Soul. Dark Side of the Moon is so soulful you'd almost believe they collaborated with Marvin Gaye
😍😍😍 Welcome to the Floyd family! If you’re vibing off these instrumentals, Meddle is a GREAT album for that! Echoes is 🔥
Echoes is a masterpiece. The 2001/Echoes thing is incredible, as well.
