Clare H. Torry wasn't just screaming, she shouted her Soul into the world.
That's a piece of music that is felt more than it is heard.
Very well expressed! She was in the right place at the right time. She was entirely in the present moment, and this is where the most honest and heartfelt artistic expression is manifest.
Clare blew the doors off Abbey Road Studios that day!!!
As a 63 year old male who first experienced this recording at the age of 18 or 19 it never ceases to amaze me watching the reaction young people 's first time hearing it. We all have our preferred musical styles but we are all capable of recognizing and appreciating lightning in a bottle when we hear it. The torch has been passed.
But to whom?
@@reneefuller5609 Whoever appreciates recorded magic.
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the password. I love any help you can offer me
@Louie Jayce instablaster =)
@Chandler Brooks Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You donât take drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd.
You take Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs.
Pink Floyd IS a drug. Accept no imitations.
Perfectly said. For me, Pink Floyd was the only band that actually had complete control over my emotions.
I was like going to disagree after the first sentence, but now I want to high five you.
I love bands like that. Ween and Tool are two others among many.
Facts
"I"m not afraid of dying. Anytime will do. I don't mind. You gotta go some time!" That's the studio's doorman answering Roger Waters while the mike was on, during lunch, some time in 1972. Tough old Irishman.
He was a Geordie
@@jaycee7594 Ahh...that's why it took me ten years of listening to finally understand him !
@@jaycee7594 The two are not incompatible, Tyneside Irish is a thing.
Gerry O'Driscoll was Irish.
The only thing more Irish than that accent would be a Leprechaun with a pint of Guiness and a plate of colcannon.
@@voiceofraisin3778 at the hurling match
He was one of there roadies,, the oldest guy on tour with them apparently...
âDark side of the moonâ is the greatest piece of art of the 20th century
Damn straight!!! Do rock on!
âWish you were hereâ is better.
Lais F. Fernandes đđđđđ
I would venture to say possibly more than just the 20th century. JMHO.
Best ART in 20th century ? Woooh... I hear ya, but there's some heavy competition in the 20th century. This coming from a guy who has EVERY Pink Floyd vinyl and EVERY David Gilmour solo lp and EVERY Waters solo lp. But yes, it's on my top 10. There's a reason classical music and opera fans like me love PF , but believe me there is some other heavy ART that competes with this, but yes I agree Dark Side of the Moon is up there. ( my 2nd copy of DSOTM vinyl unopened as an investment) proof that I agree that every human needs to experience this piece of art
Claire Torry was asked to sing as if someone you loved had just died. Lyrics could not have described the emotion better.
She nailed it! One of the best vocal performances of all time.
And she thought she blew it.
@@teresajohnson7727 Like a rare combination of raw ability to task, listening to this song is rather like watching Nadia Comaneci score a perfect 10 in the floor exercise, or even Secretariat winning the Belmont.
Amazing!
Played at my wife's funeral.
Clare Torrey's performance is perfect, and not to be overlooked is keyboardist Richard Wright's beautiful piano composition.
Mau Richard rest in peace đđŒ
She had to fight in court to share a co-credit on the song. The judge in the case said she made a very significant contribution to the work.
No shit.
K August I thought that she demanded credit for the whole album
AND she thought she had fucked it up, wonder what she expected it to sound like? I just can't imagine....
Clair Torrey? On the original LP I thought it was Doris Troy, I'll have to goggle it.
When my sister died this was my go to song . Described everything without one word. She sings the stages of grief after a death. Absolute masterpiece by floyd . Great reaction .
Don't gotta be on anything.... Pink Floyd is the drug . And yes you trip. Just close your eyes open your mind and let go.
Doesn't mean listening to Floyd while tripping won't make it 10x better. I can confirm that it does.
@C FL Shrooms periodwill change the way you see the world lol . I've done more than my share back in the day . I delt amazon mushrooms in the late 70s. I'm old now.n
Ditto !
@C FL I'm fine with growing my pot. I have no need to run with the big dogs anymore. I love my porch . Peace âïž
Totally agree with you all these people saying you need to be stoned or trippin to enjoy floyd need to appreciate floyd for their music.
One of the greatest albums ever made!!
EVER!!!!!!!! rock on, peace.
More than 700weeks in the charts, a record!
I checked on Google it is more than 900 weeks actually and ca. 45 million copies sold. Impressive!
From one of the best bands ever...........
Most definitely one of the best ever, but most likely the best ever.
This Album was released in 1973 and stayed in the US top 100 album chart for more than 20 years I wonder if that will ever be surpassed
Hate to say this but, Thriller beat it
@@francisedwards4069 Hate to say this, but DARK SIDE OF THE MOON stayed on Billboard's TOP 200 without leaving for 14 years...just to drop off and come 3 months later. Thriller didn't break that uh.......record.
Eagles and Thriller bear that
741 weeks if I recall correctly.
Thriller is dogshit compared to this
If you're not wearing headphones for Pink Floyd, then you're really missing out big time. Takes it to another divine stratosphere.
Listen to this song in 8d audio or in 432hz. That shit sounds like youâre going to heaven
When I first heard this album it was played on a quadraphonic LP player. The music was flying around the room & ricocheting off the walls 48 yrs ago. Yup, that old.
Headphones no interruptions and the whole album in one take. Close your eyes and enjoy the trip to never return. You canât escape this journey
Yeah, this is one time it's actually better that you don't have to get up to flip the record halfway through anymore. ;-)
@@weebunny But you lose alot in translation from analogue to digital.
@@AndrewFishman I agree - I've read how analogue has limitations especially in bass/low end, but I distinctly remember vinyl having a warmer sound. Sadly I haven't had access to a turntable in years... I wonder how vinyl sounds when the master was created or remastered digitally? I bet someone here could answer that.
@@weebunny - Analogue waves actually give a fuller, non clipped, wave. This picks up audio that is outside the range of hearing, but affects the depth and tone of the sound. The reason it has "limitations" in the bass is that you cannot compress the sound without distorting the waves. That destroys the sound. Digital master will sound cleaner, but miss the full tonality, which is why many things are recorded analogue and digitally remastered. YOu can never pick up those thing missing.
A good set of headphones, and enjoy the trip.
This is about fighting , then accepting death .. no words necessary
Sounds like she's geting off to me.
I can see that .lol
nawww....it's about losing an auction on ebay...but then you find the same item listed....and at a cheaper price.
#truestory
@@thesunreport nice lol
According to Clare Torry, that's exactly what it's about.
Clare Torrey; a little British girl with a huge voice.
So much emotion is portrayed without a single word being said. Incredible.
soul level
To me, the greatest female vocal performance of all time. âźïž
I agree!
FROM WIKIPEDIA
As the band began casting around for a singer, album engineer Alan Parsons suggested Clare Torry, a 25-year-old songwriter and session vocalist. Parsons had previously worked with Torry, and had liked her voice on a Top of The Pops covers album.[3] An accountant from Abbey Road Studios contacted Torry and tried to arrange a session for the same evening, but she had other commitments, including tickets to see Chuck Berry that evening, so a session was scheduled for Sunday evening between 7 and 10pm.[4][3]
The band played the instrumental track for Torry and asked her to improvise a vocal. At first, Torry struggled to divine what the band wanted, but then she was inspired to pretend that she herself was an instrument.[3] She performed two complete takes, the second one more emotional than the first. David Gilmour asked for a third take, but halfway through Torry stopped, feeling she was getting repetitive and had already done the best she could. The final album track was assembled from all three takes. The members of the band were deeply impressed by Torry's performance, but were so reserved in their outward response that she left under the impression that her vocals would never make the final cut.[3] She only became aware they were used when she saw the album at a local record store, spotted her name in the credits and purchased it.[3]
Quite possibly.
@@figjam9530 tyvk! I'm glad to know the story! :)
Believe it or not, that is a white woman singing.
Clare Torry kills it on the vocal
Twenty quid and a bottle of Heineken.
Hope they compensated her later.
@@haraldchristiansen6942 She went to court. She gets royalties as a co-writer now. Fair enough. She DID improv the whole thing in two takes.
@@JamesWilson-vr3ql good to know, she made history, like it was meant to be. The Floyd should not have had to go to court, she was very good.
No figure given but estimated to be over 10 million dollars and probably still getting royalties.... She definitely deserves it!
I am so glad I was born at a time that I was a teenager when this music was coming out and on the radio. What a great time to grow up.
When you listen to this, it's almost impossible to hear anything but the beauty of the intro and the incredible power of Torry's vocals. But it's worth listening to it with your attention on Mason's drumming. When Torry's going full tilt, his fills are just incredible, almost like they're in wordless dialogue with the wordless vocal.
I was introduced to Pink Floyd 42 years ago by my Father. Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you were Here still brings tears to my eye,s Art at it,s best
I was introduced by my father when i was 8 or maybe 9 and it was in 1992 or 1993. I must to say that it was the day which changed everything in my musical journey. Thank You my Fatherđ€
Yea,me too. We would drive up to the highlands on weekends and we would listen to wish you were here etc. Loved those long drives to glencoe and Loch Ness
Whaaaa! am 42.. Introduced in 1977? Posted 6 months ago? A lot of 6s'.
Pink Floyd is the first music I appreciated as a teenager. It changed me. I can see so much of their influence in a lot of music today. From Nils Frahm to Slugabed, Khruanbin to Dhakabrakha. In hip hop I hear it in Flatbush Zombies and RDJ.
So a lot of our Dad's turned us on to this huh? Mine too. I was 11 and he put the album on and stuck the big fat padded headphones over my little ears and told me "just listen". That was the day I learned to hear music.listen to all the notes. Appreciate every kind. Pink Floyd is mesmerizing.
I want this played at my funeral.
This and Watermelons in Easter Hay by Frank Zappa. You should give that one a listen.
@@Smack lol
That can be arranged
Not for a long time I hope!
If they don't play this at my funeral, I'm not going!
"you gotta be on something a little harder than weed .." .. This album **is** the something a little harder than weed.
This track is solid gold. Clare Tory went into the studio that day on Floyd's request and did it in one take, and it will last for all of time. No one knew what she was going to do including clare herself as floyd did not want any words, and this genius moment happened. One of the best tracks ever recorded by any artist since the dawn of music. It speaks a million words without uttering one. It's about the stages of death and how we must learn to accept our fate. Absolutely beautiful track, and very intelligent piece. Wright's music though cant be understated either. It's a Rembrandt.
It speaks about being alive and that's something awsome to all of us. Be it marvellous or painful.
Makes my eyes tear up eveytime I hear this.
Its all about the different stages of dying and death.
Anger. Refusal. Denial. Acceptance.
Never use the word "flop" and Pink Floyd in the same sentence ever again....
Even Floyd's "flops" are better than most hits!
Loool
Geoff Adam EVER!
I loved your reaction!đ Wanna have your mind blown? The female vocalist is a white woman in England. They told her they just wanted her to sing, but not sing any words. đ€Ż
Mz Liz and in one take too. Unbelievable
Mz Liz Actually it's two women. One, Claire does 1st half.
@@traffic71 ... One one take, the second time.
Peter Corinthian thereâs only one singer wdym
@@petercorinthian1064 wrong.
It really is one of the greatest recorded vocals in rock history!!
With absolutely no direction, she just went for it...I never understand the context until now, and that makes it just too much...
Forget the drugs bro. Just use good quality headphones. Not ear buds. You'll thank me.
Truth . Drugs don't hurt tho....
There are some good earbuds out there. Jlab, Skullcandy, Anker.
This. The music pick you up, takes you for a ride and softly brings you back. A trip it self.
Good quality cans will make all the difference..try it..youll thank us later
Anyone ever get a 5.1 version of this album?
Dying then disbelief anger bargaining acceptance peace.
A huge voice coming out of a tiny little woman.
I thought the exact same - shock anger grief then acceptance.
You need to read Claire Torrieâs story about recording this. She was way out of her element when she walked into the studio but then had the idea to âplay her voice like it was an instrumentâ and the rest is history.
Love the story part where Claire was paid about $50US for this 1971 creation. She sought more after the album went huge but had to sue to get paid and did in 2005.
Her interview regarding it:
czcams.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/video.html
"Great gig in the sky" is meant to denote the stages of death. Fear, acceptance, peace! Very emotional!đâ
This song is about dying in the beginning with the anger of knowing it's happening to the end with the soothing voice with acceptance. Great reaction!!
MUSHROOM MEDLEY!!
I love it.
My friend you have only scratched the surface Of PF
Was on those the last time I saw them đđđđđ
@The Anti Christ that's the beauty of it no lyrics. Im not here to argue with you. You interpret it any way you like.
I guess you're one of the ones who thinks Comfortably Numb is about drugs.
www.songfacts.com/facts/pink-floyd/the-great-gig-in-the-sky
Directly from the horses mouth!!
DONE!!!
@The Anti Christ you seen him twice? And you still think it's about drugs? Maybe you should cut back your dose.
It is about drugs, but not what your thinking.. It's medication for his fears of being around people(stage fright). I found the link for GGITS for you. I think it's time you learn how to research yourself,. So I'll leave this one for you to figure out.
@The Anti Christ Obviously there is something you don't know, just these 2 songs we are talking about you don't really understand.. You show me in writing or video quotes that im wrong and il eat crow. Otherwise STFU.
I don't care what albums you have when you're wrong your wrong.
This is the audio version of the 5 stages of grief/death in it's most beautiful form. Just listen!
Damn straight.
If this does not "pierce" you. You can't feel life.
I hear the anguish of loss in her voice. Brilliant and heart breaking.
She was taking you on the different phases of death
Floyd were amazing. I've been lucky enough to see them live multiple times back home in the UK over the years. Tight as F
Always
You really should react to the whole album as 1 piece of music. Pink Floyds music isn't designed to be listened to individually, especially their earlier work.
And anyone who's in the know knows that
Absolutely as I just Sent the Same Message a minute ago!! This applies to many Artistic Bands back in the Day Known as Concept Albums as Every Song tied into each other and was telling a Story!! One Song Broken Up Into Increments!! You're Spot On!!
An emotional trip. Make me choke up and my eyes well... ever since the first time!
The vocal scat cries out pain experienced, pain endured, pain acknowledged, and pain released...at least for me it does.
Clare Torry was told not to sing the track but to become a musical instrument. I think she nailed it.
Yes !!
Becoming a music instrument was her idea. She was told not to sing lyrics/words on it and came up with the idea of using her voice as an instrument after she used words like baby during the first take.
@@billw715 Exactly, there's an interview with her on CZcams telling the story. She said they basically told her nothing. Just that they didn't want lyrics. She didn't even know the chord progression. 2 1/2 takes and this is what we got.
Her interview

I never get tired of hearing this beautiful music.
I've listened to this song since 73 when it came out, it makes my soul want to soare through the sky lll
Your reaction was spot on. I've been listening to Pink Floyd for well over 40 years, I'm 61 years old now and some time hopefully not too soon, The ONE will come for me and when I am traveling in the void to where ever I will hear the Great Gig In The Sky and I won't be afraid.
This album was released when I was in first grade. It finally dropped out of the charts when I was a freshman in college. That's some serious impact.
This album came out in the year I was born. It dropped out of the charts when I was in my first year of university.
You are right about the impact...
Comfortably numb you gotta hear it bro. It's powerfulđŻ.. My favorite pink floyd song
One of the greatest guitar solos of all time
David Chambers Yep, but please choose the Pulse Version!
The whole album and concept of "The Wall"
Definitely! But please do pulse live at Earls court version. That solo is đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„ and the show will make you go nuts!
Dave Gilmore live at Pompei, very comfortable...
One of Gilmour's most emotional performances EVER is an instrumental song of MAROONED at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Stratocaster guitar. He stole the show from all other guest guitarists who performed that night.
czcams.com/video/J4kgBpgoQaU/video.html
Amazing arrangements, impeccable timing, and true musicianship MASTERPIECE for a song with no words
Mr. Justin is bustinâ close to the mark with his comments.
Iâm 65 & PF has been the soundtrack of my life. Welcome to the machine !
All PF music should be heard with headphones, you won't regret it!
I would suggest you listen to the very first track through to the last track...if you're interested in understanding the great music of the 70's.
It's alarming that people these says don't understand the extreme limitations of headphones... While it's miles better than listening to it on a cellphone... Actual drivers, moving air, in a room... Is the actual proper way to hear music. Speakers are the reverse of microphones, speakers create distance.. That place the instruments around the space, or room. Headphones do not recreate "sound staging" like actual speakers/drivers do. You need air moment and significant volume. Try it.
Floyd told the vocalist to sing like she was singing to God.. Great gig in the sky
Most beautiful song about death
Damn, why white boys gotta be so deep !
"Real Gangstas dont flex nuts,
cause real Gangstas know they got 'em"
I believe that sums it up :P
I think "white boys bein so deep" it's more of a European artistic thing...ain't seeing too many deep songs from American white boys lol, they mostly singing about pickup trucks and beer
I refer to this as â The Widowâs Wailingâ imaging a woman hearing the news of a deceased husband, lover,â and her transitions of shock and horror, denial, sadness and succumbing to the reality of death, and the permanence of it.
Pink Floyd created landscapes of sound best enjoyed with headphones. The 'tracks' on DSOTM are really just one track as they were designed to merge into each other. Think of it as the same movie with different scenes. You really need to listen to this one from start to finish as it's a work of pure musical art. One of the best selling albums of all time, spent 13 years or so in the US album charts!. BTW, as others have commented, it would be really good if you listened to tracks without interrupting as it spoils the flow which is quite important with Floyd. It's difficult to watch reaction videos which constantly stop/start/stop. And to be honest, interrupting a David Gilmour guitar solo is bordering on blasphemy... :)
I agree that listening to Dark side in one go is a must. But I think if youâre reacting to music, you should pause it as and when you see fit. You might have something profound to say, but if you leave it all until the end of the record it would get completely lost.
Itâs their reactions, they should stop when they feel like it. If you want to hear it uninterrupted, listen to the record on your own.
@ CaptainNemo -- "The 'tracks' on DSOTM are really just one track as they were designed to merge into each other."
_______________
Yes, and it ssssssSUCKS when the media player you have makes that little pause when it switches to the next song. It's an immersion killer.
He says at the end that he has to stop it. If he played the whole song CZcams would block his content.
Thanks for this reaction. I believe this was a one take recording. Just love pink floyd !!!
Yes it was. They just told her...sing. She wanted to redo it because she thought it wasn't that good...they said no...it's done!
She didn't even think it made the album until she saw it in the record store.
I also read that they called her out late in the night. I think she was pregnant but not sure on that one. She did do a one take only - which was cheap for the band. Then they paid her the going rate and sent her home. The band members between them are probably close to a billion in personal wealth and they never offered her a penny after the success of DSOTM.
Actually it was 3 tracks/takes.
David Deeley after taking Floyd to court...she got paid...
To me Great Gig In The Sky is filled with the raw emotion of going through life. I feel she is expressing through her voice the struggle through life all the way until death.
Amazing vocalists, this is how a mother will mourn death of a child, no words needed , 3 amazing ladies.
Listening to Pink Floyd is a timeless experience.
It's like their songs never get old!
The use of, "It's like..." is redundant and makes you sound like a brain-dead valley girl...
@@Codex7777 my advice is to learn to live with the pain that this causes you.
I'll like try but I was only like, trying to help like. I was all like, helpful like and you're all like, I don't want to be helped like, dude. So I'm like, whatever dude. I'll like try and endure the pain like. Like, take care dude... like...
@@Codex7777 sure, kid. have a nice life.
Same with Zeppelin...never gets old!
No man you don't need to be on nothing just open your heart and mind.
Have you ever indulged in Psychedelic mushrooms?
I saw this during the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour (a couple minutes ago). Still think it's one of the best and most emotive vocal pieces I've ever heard.
After all these decades, hearing this still makes the hairs on my neck stand up. Absolutely epic. Thank you for reviewing this amazing part of such an unbeatable album.
Another level of music
I sing in a Pink Floyd tribute band. This is on our upcoming set list. I love it.
Saucerful of Secrets by chance?
Pulse-A Tribute to Pink Floyd based out of Tennessee
The only song ever made that has so many , many meaning with no words. WE are all very privileged to hear, feel, cry ,enjoy this masterpiece. CLAIRE sure does sings us a great TORRY.
It seems like a new reaction page pops up nearly every day lately, and I've watched many of them, but yours are my favorite by far. Your editing is superior to most, the background songs are funny as fuck and entirely match the vibe you set with your commentary - which often has me cracking the fuck up. I've checked out a few of your reactions and this one is my favorite just because this album in it's entirety is, I believe, one of the most epic, existentially profound pieces of music ever laid down. And watching people react the first time they hear this is so satisfying because I see it moving people the way it has moved me for over 25 years. Nothing in rock music matches this. If you think you want to sit through 43 minutes and react to the entire album, I guarantee you your mind will be blown perhaps like never before. This song is like a chapter in the middle of a book. The album is a concept album, with each song connecting thematically to the next. With this album it makes the most sense to start in chapter 1 and work your way through to the conclusion. Let us watch it change your perception of music the way it has done to so many of us. Put the shrooms on your pizza. Do it man.
Great Gig and Comfortably Numb are great songs to put the headphones on and drift away!
It sums up a personâs hard journey through life. The pain of living.
Oh. Shrooms do the trick alright. Had my head full of them and my lungs filled with kind buds, when my best friend and I saw Floyd in 94. I still get goosebumps. Never before or after have I heard sound THAT loud and at the same time crystal clear and purrfect.
I've always thought of it, as a woman who has lost a deep love to the Grim Reaper and is screaming out her pain and sorrow. Beautifully intense and - as is so often the case with Floyd - every note played with feeling.
You hit the nail on the head, my friend. This is someone fighting death and then accepting it.
I interpret the song as a man saying he is not afraid to die. Then dies. Then a woman cries over him. She does not stop. In the end she is 'walking to the next room', still crying. The true magic you got perfectly: she is transmitting human emotion without any words, just by her screams. This is a true masterpiece.
No drugs necessary when listening to Floyd
This song is a journey through grief. It almost literally takes me through the process every time I hear it. At the end I'm a tear soaked baby. Such an amazing piece!
Probably the most emotional musical rollercoaster and not a single lyric... Genius
Dunno if anyone else has said this, but that lady made that up on the spot. They told her to just sing/scat what she felt.
Yes seen that said
I read she was too 'soft' at first and they had to tell her that she was basically trying to sound like she was dying.
@ -- Oh yeah? I hadn't heard that. Makes sense, though... especially since she came into the project completely blind.
@@rampa125521 -- Figures. I'm always a day late and a dollar short.
True musicians, not the "cheat" Auto-Tune and sampling.
Thereâs literally nothing wrong with auto tune or sampling...both are extremely difficult to master and make for great sounds youâre tripping

They are quite AMAZING! Genius to be exactâ€ïž
Remember though that you drop into this piece after hearing one of the most epic guitar solos ever in Time.
There's a video version that calls that solo an "eargasm". And it's correct.
You cannot listen to the songs in isolation. DSOTM is an album experience, not individual songs.
Do the whole dark side of the moon.
One of the greatest albums ever produced, the most complete album ever made.
Grew up with Pink Floyd. Have cried many a time listening it remembering my mommaâs death while being beside her. Great big in the sky is what it is. The death and thank you song of all time.
Cool reaction! This album has been a part of my life since I first heard it... I was 3 years old. please check out Shine on you crazy diamond. It's a great song.
Yes, Shine On is good but there is SO much more of what is Pink Floyd, please check out their other offerings:).
I know how you feel...I was a teen then...I would lay on my bed with the headphones on and listen to the ALBUM one side then the other.
The magnificent Clare Torry,plus,ahem,PINK FLOYD !
cannot lose.
It the story of life... Your birth, your life, Full of sound and fury and winding down to a final note. Beautifully sublime and profound...
The great gig in the sky could/can be interpreted as the sound track for the stages of grief, death and dying; shock and denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, This is expressed not through words, but rather through the emotion of the voice of the singer. There are emotions that words can not express. This is what the track conveys as per the context. This is what makes the writing of Roger Waters and the band so special.
Amazing vocals. Two and a half takes, improvised, in just around three hours, she had tickets to see Chuck Berry, couldn't stick around
love it....you are doing great...keep on....
Iâve never been on drugs and Pink Floyd is my favorite band
Pink Floyd is pure emotions the genius of the band is unparalleled in modern music history âïžđŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż
Headphones dude, headphones!!
Numb live at Pulse and dive into âAnimalsâ Dogs.
Remember Floyd didnât do songs, they recorded albums with songs on them, the concept and transitions are the true meaning of art
You cannot listen to one song off DSOTM in isolation. Animals - most under rated album in history. Perhaps my favourite album.
@Buggersaurus Rex He freaked on the recording of WYWH because he was handed the lyrics to Welcome to the Machine, written out in red pen and he thought it was a demand for payment or something like that and flipped right out.
More Pink Floyd, please! Dark Side Of The Moon.
Clare Torry's performance blew the band away, but they were left so speechless that she thought she had failed. she left under the impression that her vocals would never make the final cut. She only became aware they were used when she saw the album at a local record store, spotted her name in the credits and purchased it. :)
Goosebumps soon as she goes in... And tears... đ„ pink floyd music on acid will make u feel every fuckin emotion all at one time. You'll smile, you'll cry, you'll hurt, you'll miss someone, you'll want to rip ur shirt off and scream. My favorite band ever aswell as my fathers. I cry every time. Damn i miss my dad
React to pink floyd "echoes" live at Pompeii. Never has such a song been masterfully played before or after...
I got to see them do Echoes live in Philadelphia at JFK in 1987. They opened with that song and it was the first time I saw them. I was 17 years old and love Pink Floyd! Listen to Sheep.
When listening to Pink Floyd: headphones
Pink Floyd music is the drug close your eyes and drift. Listen to the whole album beginning to end it is worth every blissful minute.
The beauty of progressive rock.. it's not a quick fix, it's not a flash in the pan... it grabs you, gently sits you down, and makes you not only feel, but also think. It takes every sensing receptor you have and literally rewires your brain and changes you. Pink Floyd were masters at their craft.
The first part is fighting death....the second part is accepting it and passing through the veil of existence.....
"Only" back up singers...How many bands give their back up singers one of their best songs? This is as good as it gets. Those voices...
You are correct. That is exactly what Pink Floyd asked of the singer. "There are no lyrics. We want you to sing what dying sounds like."
She walked into the studio, heard the request, went into the vocal booth and belted it out. The band said to her, "that was terrific. Let's do it a few more times so we can mix a bunch of different versions together."
She said, "Nope. That's all you're going to get." I understand she freaked out sometime later when she heard herself on the radio. She was not expecting commercial success for this song and really didn't understand what the band was trying to do.
This track means the most to me and left the deepest most profound impact on my soul of all the music Iâve ever experienced so far . They definitely have access to other worlds đđđâïžđ
