denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance...the five stages of death, and Clare's voice expressed every one without saying a word. DSOTM was my first ever concert and this album, and this song, will forever have an impact on me that words can't express.
Every part of the song is brilliant. When Parsons removes the reverb at the end it pulls Claire Torry up close, it's like she's right in front of you saying, "it's ok, don't be afraid, come with me."
@@kurtborchers6178 and to think she actually apologized after this recording. One of the band mates says it in a documentary I’m too high to remember specifics
Thanks to older siblings, I’ve been listening to this masterpiece of an album since it was released in ‘73. Sadly, in ‘77 I had a brother who took his own life. At the time such things weren’t spoken about. There was no one to turn to. No minister, no school counsellor, no doctor, no hotline # to call. This song took on a whole new meaning and became my 14yr old self’s therapy. I don’t know how Clare Torry managed to tap into such emotion, but I’m so glad she did. Thanks WMOG for going extra mile in doing the studio version. I know you put your all into your videos. ❤ and appreciation
Thank you so much. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. One that you feel to this day, no doubt. I'm almost thankful that as kids of that era that we had to rely on music for therapy and escape. It was a magical time in music to do so. Thanks for your comment, Jill. 💜
@@WonderMommaOG ty for your kind words. Life’s not always easy or fair, but I feel it’s a gift worth fighting for. Absolutely it was a great time to grow up. I’m partial to 70’s tunes but I love a wide variety of music from all the different decades, past and present. It’s really great that you’ve chosen to use your channel to connect people through music. Kinda like group therapy lol 🎵🎶☀️
Embarrassingly, when I first heard this song at age 18, I laughed. I didn't "get" it right away and I laughed at what I didn't understand, and laughed at the unbridled emotion Clare released. I wasn't ready. Today, I have to steel my emotions when I listen to it because I feel every note, every wail. Excellent work again, Momma.
It was my least favorite on the album when I heard it in 73...I really didn't appreciate it until the 2000's Now I love it's profundity, But; Pink Floyd has MANY of those profound songs...
💬As promised, the studio version! This was a bit of a challenge doing the same song back to back, but I made it through. It’s an amazing piece of music so it was worth it! The most challenging part was narrowing down 102 reactions to 31. I’ve never had that many to start out with. ❓I did notice a couple of things during this process that I never noticed before! That odd little bend in the fade out of the song… was that intentional? I’m betting it was. Some kind of after death symbolism? 🎹There are some amazing organ effects from 4:10 - 4:15 that I never noticed before! 😞Like with the part I marked in the live version that made me feel heavy and sad, likewise with this original at 6:23. PLEASE take a moment to show some love to the reactors used in this compilation. All of their original links are in the description. ONTO THE NEXT! 💜
I bought the vinyl when it was released, one of my first albums growing up, listened to this a million times and I too never caught that 'bend' at the fade out till just now. Maybe part of the the later remaster.. I dunno I always knew DSOM was something beyond special. It's timeless.. Will probably still be regarded as one of the greats in another 50 years, even in next century.. Who knows. Thanks for your amazing efforts WM ❤️ No doubt, this vid will contribute to DSOM longevity!
For those interested in the many little details included in Pink Floyd's music, like the one at the end of this song, where you can hear this slight pitch variation: Look for this series of 15 videos titled: Pink Floyd - The Record Producers You will be able to hear excerpts from the original tapes before adding effects or vocals. Among other things, Great Gig In The Sky with communications between NASA and the astronauts on mission instead of Clare Torry's singing.
Hi, my Dadd has seen Pink Floyd 7 times in their prime. Back then concerts were like going to the symphony(certain bands). You sat and listened to the show...no cheerleader or choreography stuff. Also as the house lights went out at the start of concert everybody sparked up "spliffs" so all shared this stoned vibe. The sound and lighting was state of the art. At various parts of the show the sound went into Quad for dramatic effect. The keyboard or guitar or voices as well as birds, trains would go around or side to side. It was a spectacle and a fully immersive experience. Back in the 60's and 70's Cannabis and psychedelics were the popular drugs and the music reflected this. "Echoes" was structured like a symphony with 4 parts. Glad you could enjoy and appreciate Pink Floyd and the where they could take thought feeling and emotion and the human experience. Stay cool and open and enjoy......:) Show less

Clare composed this "on the spot" based on the feelings experienced when you know you are dying. Shock, Anger, Rejection and finally Acceptance etc...Wonderful.

You have Time right before the Great Gig in the Sky...with the amazing voice of Clare...that takes you on one of most emotional rides ever...goosebumps to tears....this is and will always be in my top three albums of all times...and Great Gig in the Sky is so hauntingly beautiful songs of life dealing with death...pain...to acceptance.

Your editing skills are through the roof!!!!! This is a masterpiece in that regard with this material. The nuances you cull from each individual......geez! Kudos young lady. Please don't stop. Your work is an addiction. There, I hope I've said enough!😄
Yes, yes and yes. You did an incredible job. Muah Back in the 70's my Mom's boyfriend asked what I wanted for Xmas. I gave him a list of albums. I never thought he would get every one of them. One was Dark Side of the Moon. Some friends had the album and inside were a couple posters, postcards, stickers and such. When I opened mine I noticed the posters and everything was different. I then noticed that I actually had a copy of the quadrophonic version of this album. Quadrophonic record players were very very rare. A few years later a friend got a job at an electronics stores for all types of record players and such. I told him about my album and he said come to the store on a particular Saturday with the album. They happened to have received a quadrophonic player and it was put in a soundproof room with 4 huge speakers. When I got there they literally locked the doors to the store and my friend invited a few people. Everyone in the store including the owner went into that room and we listened to the entire album. It was incredible and a one time thing for me for sure. In case you don't know what quadrophonic is, you know when you listen to a stereo and you can hear certain sounds in one ear only and they back and forth - stereo = 2, quadrophonic = 4. Those 4 speakers had things bouncing around to each speaker and also mixed between 2 and all 4. I'll never forget that day.
In the early 70's I somehow acquired a Sanyo 8 track Quadraphonic deck for my car with 6 Blaupunkt speakers out of Mercedes-Benz & got this Pink Floyd & Santana Abraxas albums in Quadraphonic I was 18. Me & friends would drive around all night & trip on these albums but with a little help from some Purple Micro-Dot acid that was popular at the time....Wonderful memories ❤😊❤
TDSOTM is way more than a lucky album.........it is a miracle. the inspiration of the musicians and that of Parsons the intervention of Torry all the elements combined perfectly to create a unique album... I would define it as an astral conjunction that cannot be repeated
2 takes. She did the 1st one. As she was preparing to leave, she asked if she could do a 2nd take--and the rest is history. Many years later, she was granted a credit for the composition and 10M.
Cool story, but it was two takes. The first take she threw in some words like "oh yeah" and "baby". Gilmour told her no words so she figured out how to use her voice as an instrument and nailed the next take. There is an interview with her on YT talking about her experience recording this.
I probably should’ve taken my antidepressant before I watched this 😭 there’s something about the unifying ability of music that touches my 💙 Thank you W-Momma for your hard work.
I love this montage of many of my favorite reactors experiencing what may be the best track ever made (and that is after lengthy consideration). ThanQ for putting this together.
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Never in my life have I heard these emotions expressed better using words. Never. Thank you Clare Torry for this masterpiece from the soul. Cheers....
This is arguably one of the greatest interludes in rock history! This reaction is what Pink Floyd meant for someone to feel it when they heard it. Honestly I’d love to see one where they react to the entire album.
I've thought about doing the entire album... but I would need a supercomputer to edit a video that long. 🤣 My 9 year old Dell gaming laptop does a fine job and has lasted me longer than any other computer I've ever had... I might even say I've grown an attachment to it for being such a reliable computer for so long... but it struggles a little near the end of editing a 15-20 minute video. I think the whole DSOTM album would murder it and I would be super sad. 😅
It is often said that tastes are not debatable, but for me, DSOTM is the best album I know. The lyrics of this album are timeless, and its music is still very avant-garde. Meaning of "avant-garde". This term is used to describe ideas, works or movements that are innovative and experimental, often breaking with established conventions.
Funny, I watched a number of these videos and was thinking somebody should make a compilation, but I would have no idea how to even start. Excellent job on the compilation! Thanks, and thanks to all the original reactors! Well done everybody!
I bought Dark Side at a record store in South France when I was 14 in 1987. I didn’t understand this song at first, I’d often skip it. Now, I consider it the most moving piece of music ever recorded.
Wonderful compilation of reactions...thankyou for your efforts and hardwork. My own reaction played through all accepted stages of passing..grief, anger, acceptance and peace. Pink Floyd were and remain a gift to anyone who has a soul.
Eu aqui, que moro no Rio de Janeiro, na favela, desde novinha me delicio com essas genuínas obras de arte. Viva a cultura, viva a arte, viva o O Pink Floyd!
This is art. This is the purest expression of emotion I have ever heard in musical form. As one of the commentors said, to think she did this in just 2 1/2 takes and walked away thinking it wouldn’t be used … unbelievable. ❤
Love all 3 of these reactions! You're killing it!❤ I found you after hearing Derricks reactions & I'm so happy I did! You really outdid yourself this time though!! Keep rockin luv♥️😁🤘
Please! understand this is what we old dudes listened to so this is why many of us don't understand rap after growing up with Pink Floyd. We are scared this would get lost or buried away. It makes me so happy to see young beautiful souls reacting positive to Pink Floyd. The 70's was a time of creative music; Pink Floyd was the pinnacle of 70's musical creativity. They journeyed into the unknown, they entered a black hole, found a musical supernova with infinite color, then brought it back and revealed to all, "Listen to what we found! A sound more precious than anything innate." Great Gig In The Sky is a musical prophecy. Pink Floyd was the chosen messenger. This sound does not belong to anyone or any time; Great Gig In The Sky is timeless...
You younger guys think you have it all that you know it all but man… You missed so much! I was a teenager in the 70s and I am so glad I was the music vibe… You will never know that and I doubt whether the music that you’re listening to will be around in 50 years or in some cases even two years.Just the best… How privileged our generation were to live through this and being part of it. Amen.
Amen. 57 here 2 pink Floyd concerts David Gilmore solo after they split....Rodger Waters twice doing the entire dark side of the moon outdoors...... I stirred the air visually with my hands .. felt the vibrations move across my entire body.... admittedly on LSD for a few of em.... Disclaimer....my adult kids account ... Her first concert with me when she was 11 ...The Who ....when Entwistle was alive.... All of Tommy.... For you youngins.....closest you may get .....The machine. Floyd cover band .....also pretty sweet
It's individual vocal expressions for each of the emotional aspects of realizing you're dying. Anger,disbelief, acceptance at the end. Listen again with the stages in your mind.
I dare to repeat a comment that I already made to you for another video: Two masterpieces in one video, the song (The Great Gig in the Sky) and your video compilation. Thank you for this moment of happiness and (wonder).

I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd in 94 in the Oakland Coliseum. They can put you in a trance. Time, Comfortably Numb and The Great Gig in the Sky will be with me forever. Im 67 and thats what is so good about Rock and Roll, you can be a rocker at any age. Shedmen meh
Story goes that PF called Clare into the studio on a Sunday afternoon, she had no idea what she was supposed to sing, did 2 takes and that was that. A brilliant moment in time.
Yet another masterclass momma ❤.......you really are the best at this.....maybe thinking of another zeppelin one....in my time of dying would be a lot of hard work......but would be explosive...and you would do it justice....xx
I would love to do another Led Zep video already. I have more LZ songs on my list than any other artist. In My Time of Dying is one of them. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
To be 17 years old when this was released, a dozen or so old friends and new friends and people you just met, sitting around in a darkly lit room on couches, chairs, many on the floor, yes I admit quite a bit of weed, everyone listening to Dark Side of the Moon turned up loud. Nobody talking, just deeply listening together.
This is fearless music years ahead of its time - no one would dare to create a song with no lyrics and just containing a vocal interpretation of the music itself. Such a moving piece, it’s about accepting death, first we fight it and are angry at the loss and then we accept it and come to terms with it. Only this band could be this original. The album is about birth and death- to think such brilliant music and powerful lyrics could be produced in 1973/4 is why the Floyd are such an influential band.
To be able to connect to a feeling you've never felt, that you will feel only once (and will face alone), then to translate and express that feeling in such a deeply connective and relatable way with no words at all. . . . And on top of _all that,_ she somehow managed to still be a professional singer and not just lose herself in it, doubling over with the intensity of it, or otherwise move away from the mic. You'll never hear a song with more raw emotion. Yes, many songs take you to that place, but none can be called 'better'.
Thanks, mister. I too, am curious if you plan on doing any classic rock reactions on your channel eventually. If so... you probably shouldn't watch some of my videos until you are in them. 😅 As always, appreciate your kind words.
@@WonderMommaOGhey momma I do plan on doing those kind of reactions. I didn’t watch this one because it’s one that’s been requested on my channel, but I did stop by to support. As always you deserve it🙏🏽
@@StaxReacts That's amazing! I can't wait to witness that part of your journey. It's going to be epic. I am so excited and happy to watch your channel growing every day. You've earned it and I have to add you onto the growing list of reactors I want to adopt as my own. 😅 haha
The singer's name is Clare Torry. I saw a documentary of the making of Dark Side of the Moon. Clare said she did it in one take. When Pink Floyd does the song live, they have three singers do it one at a time. Clare even jokes that there were no lyrics for her to sing and when she asked about them the band said, "Just use your voice as if it is an instrument" She said, "So I did", and added with a smile, "But it takes 3 different women to sing it when they do it live".
Another great one Momma, please please please do Sorrow from Pulse when you can. On the reactors, as alway you chose reactors I already love/loved watching even before I discovered you. "Great gig in the sky" has always been a euphemism for death and she's singing out the five phases of grief in coming to terms with one's own demise; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and finally Acceptance. She sings them out beautifully without a single word. Pink Floyd is a musical genre unto themselves and in my humble opinion the greatest band in the history of the human race. Bravo and well done to them and to you my sister. Peace and love
Growing up my cousin was a super hippy, and he introduced me to so many great bands, pink floyd being one, I couldn't imagine not knowing such great music in my life, thank you for all you do to hopefully bring these songs to people who might not otherwise know them
WOW Momma!!! 😃 You really put together an awesome compilation of reactions!!! I know nearly all of these reactors and you put it together so well Thank you for your talent 🤗❤️🙏
Dark side of the moon blew me away . I would listen to the album all the way through every time . When I finally saw them live and this song started ...I literally had full body goose bumps and I think I may have teared up . THANKS for this video .
This is Clare Torry, in little British white girl. 😂. She asked by the producer Alan Parsons, she knew very little about Pink Floyd. She was given very little instructions, her first take she sang scat, then they told her they didn’t want any words. Her second take is the one they used. She wanted to sound like an instrument. They asked her for a 3rd take. She told them no. That was the best you’re going to get. The. She went on her way.
Another beauty, Momma. Watching this at work and had to close the door so that I could enjoy it without distracting the rest of the crew I can't wait to see what's next from you. I'd love to see a compilation like this to "Fearless," but I somehow doubt enough folks have done it.
Love the studio version, and that you did this as well as the Pulse version. I really appreciate the time and meticulous attention to detail that you put into making this compilation, and I really see the art in it of itself!
In my youth, I was listening to this song with my girlfriend and I was shocked when she started crying during the singing part of this masterpiece. Nowadays it's me that cries every time I hear this.
Thank you WonderMommaOG.........your compilations are truly moving. Thank you for your Time, your Efforts and your Thoughts. You put a Human face to these great works of Art.
The story behind this recording is as insanely good as the recording itself. She did one take and refused to do another. And the band agreed. She was paid around $60 for this and only recently received more for her incredible sound. Look up the making of Great Gig and you'll understand.
My dad was a Marine who served in Vietnam and a law enforcement officer for several years in the 80s and 90s. He passed in 2020 from lung cancer and, before he died, asked that I play this and Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile) at his funeral. I've always cried with the song has been played but never like I did that day. RIP Pop. 😔🤘🏻
I'm so sorry for your loss. What an amazing way to honor him at his final gathering... through his favorite music. That brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing that. My dad, too, is a Vietnam vet... I am lucky to still have him with me today but I know that each day could be the last. He's 77 years old and ill. My dad is a lover of music too but more a country and Elvis guy. In fact, he'll probably have me play Elvira or Put Another Log on the Fire in his honor. 😅
When you hear this now it reminds you of your loss, but it also reminds you of the man your father was! A bitter sweet feeling. It is good to have a ‘tear jerker’ at the funeral ( tears can be cathartic and aid acceptance) Mine would be Jordan by The Rival Sons. But I would end on a more uplifting note - the track Joy by The Royal Southern Brotherhood which has the line ‘ music brings joy to my soul’!
My Dad bought this album when it came out and listened to it over and over and over and over again. He drove my mother crazy, she eventually threw it out of their flat window. 😂 Don't worry, he bought several different copies and versions afterwards. I grew up from a baby listening to Pink Floyd and still listen regularly. It's a part of my soul. My Dad suddenly fell I'll last year and spent two months in the hospital in the ICU. I sat at his bedside, put in his earbuds and he listened to this whole album one last time. It was the last music he heard. Pink Floyd songs were also played during his funeral along with Mike Oldfield, David Bowie, Jackson Brown and 10cc. Music is literally in our souls and grabs our hearts. This song was used when we walked out of his funeral ceremony, words cannot describe. ❤
I love watching reactions to The Great Gig In The Sky! I have heard this song many times in my life, and I have noticed that all of these reactors get emotional the first time hearing this song, as do I, even though I know the song well. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful artistic performance ever, and for the sake of discussion, I am curious what it is about this song, that makes us feel so emotional about it? I can't put my finger on why it makes me feel emotional, but it never fails to make me feel a certain way...
Wow.... Wonder MommaOG... what a production it takes to entertain and enlighten the World. You are very much a dooooer,.. and by your doing, such productions there is a chance to enlighten hearts and minds. .. you bring the loaves and fish, and God will bring the increase. I can't thank you enough .. but I will ask for more.. (Floyd, Stones, AC DC, Black Sabbath and the other Prophets).
More good music by some of the best coming soon. I'm already working on the next project and it is going by quickly... not quite in the realm of the Prophets you mentioned, but a legend in his own right (also with the backing vocals of another legend!) Thanks for taking the time to comment, Rob. I see you've been here for a bit this evening! I love it, thank you.

Clare Torry went into the studio and busted this masterpiece out IN ONE TAKE! You don't have artists like this anymore.
TDSOTM is way more than a lucky album.........it is a miracle. the inspiration of the musicians and that of Parsons the intervention of Torry all the elements combined perfectly to create a unique album... I would define it as an astral conjunction that cannot be repeated
Yep. Something special took place here.❤
2 takes. She did the 1st one. As she was preparing to leave, she asked if she could do a 2nd take--and the rest is history. Many years later, she was granted a credit for the composition and 10M.
Cool story, but it was two takes. The first take she threw in some words like "oh yeah" and "baby". Gilmour told her no words so she figured out how to use her voice as an instrument and nailed the next take.
There is an interview with her on YT talking about her experience recording this.
@@boddaboom77 Thanks for the correction
I probably should’ve taken my antidepressant before I watched this 😭 there’s something about the unifying ability of music that touches my 💙 Thank you W-Momma for your hard work.
That is and will always be the Best natural voice experience in my life. It is a slice of Genius.
Thank you for the great effort of producing this content....well done!
I love this montage of many of my favorite reactors experiencing what may be the best track ever made (and that is after lengthy consideration). ThanQ for putting this together.
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Never in my life have I heard these emotions expressed better using words. Never. Thank you Clare Torry for this masterpiece from the soul. Cheers....
This is arguably one of the greatest interludes in rock history! This reaction is what Pink Floyd meant for someone to feel it when they heard it. Honestly I’d love to see one where they react to the entire album.
I've thought about doing the entire album... but I would need a supercomputer to edit a video that long. 🤣 My 9 year old Dell gaming laptop does a fine job and has lasted me longer than any other computer I've ever had... I might even say I've grown an attachment to it for being such a reliable computer for so long... but it struggles a little near the end of editing a 15-20 minute video. I think the whole DSOTM album would murder it and I would be super sad. 😅
I've heard this song a million times and it hits me every.single.time. Just a masterpiece.
Dark side of the moon One of the Greatest Albums in History .
actually, it is THE greatest album ever produced
It is often said that tastes are not debatable, but for me, DSOTM is the best album I know.
The lyrics of this album are timeless, and its music is still very avant-garde.
Meaning of "avant-garde". This term is used to describe ideas, works or movements that are innovative and experimental, often breaking with established conventions.
@@jamesgarrett2815thanks to Alan Parsons
I have listened to this for over fifty years I still get goosebumps every f….ing time.
How crazy is that. Me too.
Alternate take is sooo beautiful ❤️😍🎉
Funny, I watched a number of these videos and was thinking somebody should make a compilation, but I would have no idea how to even start.
Excellent job on the compilation! Thanks, and thanks to all the original reactors! Well done everybody!
I was in that same position once. You have to just do it. The process develops and evolves over time. But it gets easier every video.
@@WonderMommaOG Thank you.
I've listened to this song for decades now. I still cry to it.
Congratulations to the maker of this vid. Well done!
Guys your reaction is priceless. At seventy I can say you rocked it.
Incredible the way you put these together. Just incredible. Thank you so much, very enjoyeable
1973. First year in college. We were in the sweet spot of epic music from the late 60's to late 70's...
I bought Dark Side at a record store in South France when I was 14 in 1987. I didn’t understand this song at first, I’d often skip it.
Now, I consider it the most moving piece of music ever recorded.
Wonderful compilation of reactions...thankyou for your efforts and hardwork. My own reaction played through all accepted stages of passing..grief, anger, acceptance and peace. Pink Floyd were and remain a gift to anyone who has a soul.
Honestly, people should listen to this as a continuation of "Time". This is the man watching his life end in "Time" after he dies.
Momma, you smashed it again, I'm just in awe of the work you put in to bring us mere mortals, these great mashups. Well done.
Eu aqui, que moro no Rio de Janeiro, na favela, desde novinha me delicio com essas genuínas obras de arte. Viva a cultura, viva a arte, viva o O Pink Floyd!
A song that cannot be done the same way twice. There have been some valiant efforts, but Clare Torrey on the DSOTM is the gold standard.
This is art. This is the purest expression of emotion I have ever heard in musical form. As one of the commentors said, to think she did this in just 2 1/2 takes and walked away thinking it wouldn’t be used … unbelievable. ❤
Wow...alot of work putting this comp together. Well done!👌
Love all 3 of these reactions! You're killing it!❤ I found you after hearing Derricks reactions & I'm so happy I did! You really outdid yourself this time though!! Keep rockin luv♥️😁🤘
Thank you, Mary! I'm so glad you found your way here. I love Derek and Shotaholic's mashups too!
Thank you for all the hard work you put into making this.
It is wonderful ❤
Before there was MTV, cable or cell phones.
I use to listen to them in 1973
on my old Am FM Philco stereo
with record player for hours and hours.
Please! understand this is what we old dudes listened to so this is why many of us don't understand rap after growing up with Pink Floyd. We are scared this would get lost or buried away. It makes me so happy to see young beautiful souls reacting positive to Pink Floyd. The 70's was a time of creative music; Pink Floyd was the pinnacle of 70's musical creativity. They journeyed into the unknown, they entered a black hole, found a musical supernova with infinite color, then brought it back and revealed to all, "Listen to what we found! A sound more precious than anything innate."
Great Gig In The Sky is a musical prophecy. Pink Floyd was the chosen messenger.
This sound does not belong to anyone or any time; Great Gig In The Sky is timeless...
Damn, you ARE a wonder WondermommaOG! Thanks a hundred times over for all the time and love put into these mashups. What a boss gig you've taken on.
You younger guys think you have it all that you know it all but man… You missed so much! I was a teenager in the 70s and I am so glad I was the music vibe… You will never know that and I doubt whether the music that you’re listening to will be around in 50 years or in some cases even two years.Just the best… How privileged our generation were to live through this and being part of it. Amen.
Amen. 57 here 2 pink Floyd concerts David Gilmore solo after they split....Rodger Waters twice doing the entire dark side of the moon outdoors...... I stirred the air visually with my hands .. felt the vibrations move across my entire body.... admittedly on LSD for a few of em.... Disclaimer....my adult kids account ... Her first concert with me when she was 11 ...The Who ....when Entwistle was alive.... All of Tommy.... For you youngins.....closest you may get .....The machine. Floyd cover band .....also pretty sweet
It's individual vocal expressions for each of the emotional aspects of realizing you're dying. Anger,disbelief, acceptance at the end. Listen again with the stages in your mind.
I dare to repeat a comment that I already made to you for another video:
Two masterpieces in one video, the song (The Great Gig in the Sky) and your video compilation. Thank you for this moment of happiness and (wonder).
I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd in 94 in the Oakland Coliseum. They can put you in a trance. Time, Comfortably Numb and The Great Gig in the Sky will be with me forever. Im 67 and thats what is so good about Rock and Roll, you can be a rocker at any age. Shedmen meh
Hello from Las Vegas! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! This one hits different with the Floyd and Clare Torry. Keep up the amazing work!! ❤️❤️
You do nice work! Glad you had a picture of Clare Torry. I never saw that before.
Story goes that PF called Clare into the studio on a Sunday afternoon, she had no idea what she was supposed to sing, did 2 takes and that was that. A brilliant moment in time.
Great job on these compilations. Thank you!
Another Masterpiece by Pink Floyd 🤘🔥🔥🎤🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹🥁🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉🔉
Yet another masterclass momma ❤.......you really are the best at this.....maybe thinking of another zeppelin one....in my time of dying would be a lot of hard work......but would be explosive...and you would do it justice....xx
I would love to do another Led Zep video already. I have more LZ songs on my list than any other artist. In My Time of Dying is one of them. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
No thank you ❤
That is the greatest female vocal of all time. I love watching the reactions of those who have not heard it before. Amazing.
Thank you Jamal
So glad you did both! Awesome once again
Absolutely expert editing. Another masterpiece from the OG. Well done and thank you momma!
Thank you so very much! 💜
Thank you so much for the hours of hard work to bring this video to us. Love the song, love the video. Keep up the great work🔥❤
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
To be 17 years old when this was released, a dozen or so old friends and new friends and people you just met, sitting around in a darkly lit room on couches, chairs, many on the floor, yes I admit quite a bit of weed, everyone listening to Dark Side of the Moon turned up loud. Nobody talking, just deeply listening together.
This is fearless music years ahead of its time - no one would dare to create a song with no lyrics and just containing a vocal interpretation of the music itself. Such a moving piece, it’s about accepting death, first we fight it and are angry at the loss and then we accept it and come to terms with it. Only this band could be this original. The album is about birth and death- to think such brilliant music and powerful lyrics could be produced in 1973/4 is why the Floyd are such an influential band.
To be able to connect to a feeling you've never felt, that you will feel only once (and will face alone), then to translate and express that feeling in such a deeply connective and relatable way with no words at all. . . .
And on top of _all that,_ she somehow managed to still be a professional singer and not just lose herself in it, doubling over with the intensity of it, or otherwise move away from the mic.
You'll never hear a song with more raw emotion.
Yes, many songs take you to that place, but none can be called 'better'.
We appreciate your hard work momma, amazing video 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey STAX was this the first Pink Floyd song you’ve heard? I haven’t seen you do much “classic rock” on your channel. Curious what you thought of it.
Thanks, mister. I too, am curious if you plan on doing any classic rock reactions on your channel eventually. If so... you probably shouldn't watch some of my videos until you are in them. 😅 As always, appreciate your kind words.
@@WonderMommaOGhey momma I do plan on doing those kind of reactions. I didn’t watch this one because it’s one that’s been requested on my channel, but I did stop by to support. As always you deserve it🙏🏽
@@StaxReacts That's amazing! I can't wait to witness that part of your journey. It's going to be epic. I am so excited and happy to watch your channel growing every day. You've earned it and I have to add you onto the growing list of reactors I want to adopt as my own. 😅 haha
@@WonderMommaOG wowww thank you so much momma. You can fully adopt me as yours🙏🏽🤣🤣❤️
She is the spirit of the old man experiencing his life slip away in its final moments.
The singer's name is Clare Torry. I saw a documentary of the making of Dark Side of the Moon. Clare said she did it in one take. When Pink Floyd does the song live, they have three singers do it one at a time. Clare even jokes that there were no lyrics for her to sing and when she asked about them the band said, "Just use your voice as if it is an instrument" She said, "So I did", and added with a smile, "But it takes 3 different women to sing it when they do it live".
This woman brings together all the BEST reactions to the music we love so we can share in ALL the new experiences. I LOVE IT !!!!! 💥💥💥👍😎 Thanks OG.🤪
And thank YOU, Lord Eagle. 😅 What a regal name you've chosen. I love parrots and raptors!
Another great one Momma, please please please do Sorrow from Pulse when you can. On the reactors, as alway you chose reactors I already love/loved watching even before I discovered you. "Great gig in the sky" has always been a euphemism for death and she's singing out the five phases of grief in coming to terms with one's own demise; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and finally Acceptance. She sings them out beautifully without a single word. Pink Floyd is a musical genre unto themselves and in my humble opinion the greatest band in the history of the human race. Bravo and well done to them and to you my sister. Peace and love
The vocal was improvised, she was winging it. Brilliant. Clare will always be remembered, immortality. Us other musicians wish we could achieve this.
Growing up my cousin was a super hippy, and he introduced me to so many great bands, pink floyd being one, I couldn't imagine not knowing such great music in my life, thank you for all you do to hopefully bring these songs to people who might not otherwise know them
WOW Momma!!! 😃
You really put together an awesome compilation of reactions!!!
I know nearly all of these reactors and you put it together so well
Thank you for your talent
🤗❤️🙏
Thank you so much 😁
Dark side of the moon blew me away . I would listen to the album all the way through every time . When I finally saw them live and this song started ...I literally had full body goose bumps and I think I may have teared up . THANKS for this video .
I’m really learning to appreciate your talent in this reaction. It looks like a lot of time and effort.
Again, much appreciated. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Doug. Much appreciated!
This is Clare Torry, in little British white girl. 😂. She asked by the producer Alan Parsons, she knew very little about Pink Floyd. She was given very little instructions, her first take she sang scat, then they told her they didn’t want any words. Her second take is the one they used. She wanted to sound like an instrument. They asked her for a 3rd take. She told them no. That was the best you’re going to get. The. She went on her way.
Another beauty, Momma. Watching this at work and had to close the door so that I could enjoy it without distracting the rest of the crew I can't wait to see what's next from you. I'd love to see a compilation like this to "Fearless," but I somehow doubt enough folks have done it.
Love the studio version, and that you did this as well as the Pulse version. I really appreciate the time and meticulous attention to detail that you put into making this compilation, and I really see the art in it of itself!
In my youth, I was listening to this song with my girlfriend and I was shocked when she started crying during the singing part of this masterpiece. Nowadays it's me that cries every time I hear this.
Thank you WonderMommaOG.........your compilations are truly moving. Thank you for your Time, your Efforts and your Thoughts. You put a Human face to these great works of Art.
This song always brings tears to my eyes. Thanks Momma.
The story behind this recording is as insanely good as the recording itself. She did one take and refused to do another. And the band agreed. She was paid around $60 for this and only recently received more for her incredible sound. Look up the making of Great Gig and you'll understand.
The circle of life from birth to death…… just beautiful!
Momma, it was a pleasure to watch your finished endeavor. Thank you for sharing your hard work. Can't wait to see what's next.
So happy you did a reaction to the album version. ❤
This song is proof that you don't need lyrics to enjoy great music.
My dad was a Marine who served in Vietnam and a law enforcement officer for several years in the 80s and 90s. He passed in 2020 from lung cancer and, before he died, asked that I play this and Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile) at his funeral. I've always cried with the song has been played but never like I did that day. RIP Pop. 😔🤘🏻
I'm so sorry for your loss. What an amazing way to honor him at his final gathering... through his favorite music. That brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing that.
My dad, too, is a Vietnam vet... I am lucky to still have him with me today but I know that each day could be the last. He's 77 years old and ill. My dad is a lover of music too but more a country and Elvis guy. In fact, he'll probably have me play Elvira or Put Another Log on the Fire in his honor. 😅
When you hear this now it reminds you of your loss, but it also reminds you of the man your father was! A bitter sweet feeling.
It is good to have a ‘tear jerker’ at the funeral ( tears can be cathartic and aid acceptance) Mine would be Jordan by The Rival Sons. But I would end on a more uplifting note - the track Joy by The Royal Southern Brotherhood which has the line ‘ music brings joy to my soul’!
This song accompanied me all day, the day my mother died. I love you Rosita🌹
Emotional for me. Cant bring back the past. 😢😢😢
My Dad bought this album when it came out and listened to it over and over and over and over again. He drove my mother crazy, she eventually threw it out of their flat window. 😂
Don't worry, he bought several different copies and versions afterwards. I grew up from a baby listening to Pink Floyd and still listen regularly. It's a part of my soul.
My Dad suddenly fell I'll last year and spent two months in the hospital in the ICU. I sat at his bedside, put in his earbuds and he listened to this whole album one last time. It was the last music he heard.
Pink Floyd songs were also played during his funeral along with Mike Oldfield, David Bowie, Jackson Brown and 10cc. Music is literally in our souls and grabs our hearts. This song was used when we walked out of his funeral ceremony, words cannot describe. ❤
Sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost mine in March and know first hand, it's not easy.
I love watching reactions to The Great Gig In The Sky! I have heard this song many times in my life, and I have noticed that all of these reactors get emotional the first time hearing this song, as do I, even though I know the song well. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful artistic performance ever, and for the sake of discussion, I am curious what it is about this song, that makes us feel so emotional about it? I can't put my finger on why it makes me feel emotional, but it never fails to make me feel a certain way...
I'm going to take that 1 quote that that guy said. Pink Floyd makes more than music. That's hitting the nail right on the head, well said.
Wow.... Wonder MommaOG... what a production it takes to entertain and enlighten the World. You are very much a dooooer,.. and by your doing, such productions there is a chance to enlighten hearts and minds. .. you bring the loaves and fish, and God will bring the increase. I can't thank you enough .. but I will ask for more.. (Floyd, Stones, AC DC, Black Sabbath and the other Prophets).
More good music by some of the best coming soon. I'm already working on the next project and it is going by quickly... not quite in the realm of the Prophets you mentioned, but a legend in his own right (also with the backing vocals of another legend!) Thanks for taking the time to comment, Rob. I see you've been here for a bit this evening! I love it, thank you.
Thank you for doing the studio version.
Even Pink Floyd Couldn't produce Another album like Dark Side of the Moon! What an album! 1973-1988 -738 weeks! Insane
Thanks! this is something really special :)
Someone wrote she was living the seven stages of grief in one song
I will now always think that when I hear her magnificent voice
Astonhing sons and vídeo! 👏🏻 Thanks again for the experience! ❤
