Joey Reacts Pink Floyd is my fav band ever. I’m 31 and been listening since I was 14. First time I heard it I was camping in Maine and it was late at night by the fire. It fkn blew my mind. Been in love ever since and I’m getting so much joy watching you react to these amazing songs! Bro!! You have to listen to marooned Pink Floyd. It’ll fkn blow your mind!!!
I wrote more about Floyd you may want to read but Clare H Torry is the girl you are talking about on Dark Side of the moon. Welcome to my world listening to the greatest Rock Band ever. ! Enjoy my friend.
A Pink Floyd concert is an experience I can only dream of.
I have listened to pink Floyd since 1974
And the great gig in the sky still blows my mind with it's brilliance.
The closest thing you will get to a Pink Floyd concert is the Australian Pink Floyd.
Who tour all over Europe and North America.
They played at Dave Gilmour's 50th birthday party. enough said..
If you can check them out.
+paul limb Australian Pink Floyd changed their name to Brit Floyd a while back. Still the same good music though.
Going to see Australian Pink Floyd in Liverpool in December.
The next best thing to Pink Floyd you can get .They are touring Europe and North America this year .Check them out if you can.
Every time someone new falls in love with Pink Floyd an angel gets its wings.
love there music !
I can't go a day (literally) without listening to Pink Floyd. Check out their Animals album. Atom Heart Mother is also very, very beautiful. So glad you enjoy their music.
I think it should be MANDATORY that everyone in the world needs to put on some headphones, close their eyes and be enveloped by this album!!!
Shine on you crazy diamond is the shit
I 'liked' that - but feel such a nut job.
Before the vocals came in I said out loud "oh he's not ready for this" 😁
I said, he has no clue what is about to happen to his mind but I bet he will love it .
Wait till he finds out it was a white chick that did it in one take.
I said that too!!! Hahahaha
Same here! It is amazing how a song can project such emotion without speaking a word
Yep...and wasn’t his reaction beautiful 💖
40+ years later and I still get chills
I'm not old enough to say that, but man, I feel you
Been listening to this for as long as ive had the option of picking my own music. Still just as moved today as the first time. And yeah, 40+ years.
There will never be another song like this in any other lifetime.
Or parallel universe
My ex wife hates this song. Say's it's "Some chick screaming". Ex wife.
Walter Acevedo That’s a bold statement but,I’d have to agree.
Truth.
Jesus christ calm down
Nobody’s ever ready for it
There needs to be a channel of just first time listeners of this song and I'd watch every single episode.
For real. You cant be. This is bringing me BACK. Really listening to this for the first time is such a life changing moment. This guy rocks.
Miss Drew I always get chills....amazing range
Zuzu's petals!
No one is right. I just love watching these reactions to this jam for the first time. It is seriously one of the most impactful songs in the last 100 years.
Pink Floyd isn't music, it's emotion set to music.
Absolutely a straight description.
Pink Floyd is indescribable. It seriously touches my soul. I sweat and get chills at the same time.
NW Monk it's an art piece
I like to think of it as soundscapes...
Pink Floyd made the sound. Alan Parsons set the emotion. The best thing to happen to music.
"I wasn't ready for it."
You're never TRULY ready for it.
each time i hear this song mi skin chills... each time
Gig in the Sky is what you listen to when the world ends. It's just... perfect.
*As the nukes begin to fall, you smile, at peace* "Goodbye and goodnight" *the mushroom clouds form in the sky, your accomplishments and failures flash before you as the blast of each explosion erases you from this cruel world*
Bartholomew Thundercat III ....and when it begins....again....
Clare Torrey was asked to improvise what it would be like to die.....the Great Gig in the Sky.
More like, when you know the end of the world is impending. The death, despair and loss it will be.
Sleepy Poetic
The singer is Clare Tory. They hired her as a studio musician. She did it in one take.
Allen Petterson: It was two and a half takes. Hear it from Clare herself: czcams.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/video.html
2+ takes. The first take, she did a bunch of "ohh, baby"and such. That wasn't what Floyd was looking for because they didn't want any lyrics, so she said she decided to use her voice as an instrument. It worked.
Danny Kephart I saw an interview with her where she stated she did 2 takes. After the 2nd take they wanted more, and she told the band they had what they needed and she felt like the first take was the best because it was more natural. She did 2 takes, but I believe they used her 1st take. Could be wrong though..
Mike, you are correct, 2 takes. She told them she really couldn't do it any better than the first one...which is usually the case with something like this.
It took about two takes in reality, but it's still damn impressive, her original take was more scatty, they advised her "no think of death dying agony". Still a very impressive improvisation on her part and just two takes of that new style nailed it down. She said you got enough, they accepted it quietly and everyone went their separate way.
It's refreshing to see a young man with an open mind towards music.
I concur. Well said! Thank you! Respect, BreadlessinJersey...
Back at ya
Being a 30 year old black American listening to Floyd since I was 12...good to see others reacting to Floydian Gilmoure Waters
*The greatest gift a man can give to himself, is an Education. ~ Unknown.*
Watching someone else get clobbered by Clare Torry's vocals is almost as satisfying as the first time I heard it myself and felt the bottom of my brain fall out. Enjoy the trip. :)
It’s beyond genius. That singer is AMAZING. To me, that is-hands down-the BEST vocal performance of all time. This woman captured what it FEELS like to be ALIVE and...dying at the same time. I LOVE HER. It is the most HUMAN encapsulation in song that I’ve ever heard.
Singer's name is Claire Torry.
Yes , the best vocals ever, without a doubt, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Punching a hole into heaven, hell and the seven stages of grief in one vocal. LORDY
Pink Floyd made albums, not singles. You’ve got to listen to the whole album. Dark side will change your life. It changed mine.
me too
It did for me as well. Got introduced to it via my PULSE cassettes.
yep, should really listen to the whole thing through
They released singles in the 1960s . Arnold Layne and See Emily Play were hit singles in the UK . Money was released as a single in the USA and was also a hit .. and of course , Another Brick In The Wall , which was a huge hit single in 1979 .
Very well said, my friend. Dark Side simply cannot be appreciate unless the whole album is listened to, each song in order.
One other thing I'd like to mention: if you haven't heard the 2011 Immersion Blu-Ray Edition, then do yourself a favor and listen to it. You'll heard sounds that have been hidden for 40+ years... and they're amazing.
wish i could hear pink floyd for the first time again
NO SHIT.
Every time is like the first time for me
I first heard "Dark Side of the Moon"' under utterly ideal circumstances -- lying on a pile of pillows in a dark room, only a few flickering candles, and with high quality headphones on.
Holy Shit right?!
Fuckin A...
Richard Wright wrote this masterpiece. Credits to him and his misunderstood genius.
and claire torry!!
It was NOT written, scored, or scripted. Ms. Torry was given a "suggested reference" and told to just go with the music. It took her 18 years and a ANASTY court battle to given the songwriting credit and awarded an undisclosed sum.
If you Google her Net Worth, however, it went from £400,000 to £13,00,000 in one year (1995.) So, do the math-just desserts.
The Boys Choir Of London had to sue Punk Floyd as well after "The Wall." For a brilliant, possibly G.O.A.T. band that claimed they weren't in it for the money, they literally embodied the line from "Money":
"I'm alright, Jack. Just keep your hands off of my stack." And now, like so many, they look like freeze-dried lizards. Was it worth it?
Warning:
Pink Floyd listeners will have a side effect of goosebumps and it chills due to ridiculously good composition. Proceed with caution.
Jaquezimoto I’ve been listening to this song my entire life and my dad and I still get goosebumps every single time. So happy he got me onto Pink Floyd.
I've listened to this track thousands upon thousands of times... and it still chills me... and sometimes even produces tears... it's perfect.
this song is amazing !
+1 me too
same with me brings tears indeed
I feel the same
With you all the way man. This is music at it's purest form. expresion of emotion and that is what it resonates in you as listener. that's why even after 1000 upon 1000 times it still gives you chills goosebumps, and sometimes tears. emotion that strong don't lie and can hit you that hard.
Dark Side of the Moon has to be the one of the most important albums from the past 60 years
THE most important album!
I think that is pretty much excepted as fact
917 weeks in Billboard 200. Absolute record by far
From history!!!
Agreed!
And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime
Wonderful
It's not the dying....it's the transition!
And of course, "if you can hear this whispering, you're dying"
I've been listening to this song since it was released in the early 70's. I heard it 10,000 times, and I still react just the way you do....OH MY!!!!
I'm 57, still cry.
Gordon Walker 27, tears 9/10 times
You are most assuredly NOT alone. ✌🏻
27...same
62 and yes I do.
62 here too and the fountains flow.
She sang the process of dying in stages. Pain, fear, acceptance, and whatever comes after.
Probably the best appraisal I have heard so far.
Exactly my take: 1. Denial; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance. But just like in real life they are not necessarily in order and you can go backward or forward many times. She seems to do this.
There was notes of ecstasy before Death
Lost my mother 3 weeks ago and this vocal delivery perfectly mirrors my grieving process so far.
Jason Rigby
Sorry for your loss m8. Embrace the music, it always helps me.
So Powerful and emotional. Still hard not to cry after the 1,000th time hearing
NO instrument can make this sound and NO one can copy it - Clares angel voice
❤
Love watching people discover prime Pink Floyd for the first time. One of the greatest group of musical geniuses in history
im happy discover them!! very dope band
Listened to my dad's Dark side of the moon album as a kid and 1 minute of Breathe just blew me away!
And many doped listeners. ;-)
I'd like to see people discover earlier, sillier Pink Floyd, mainly because I think the reactions would be hilarious as they try to comprehend how it's the same band.
@@ElectroTherapyFTSoul I'd like to see that, their reaction to relics or atom heart mother the albums with sid on vocals before he lost it big time to the L.S.D. Yeah the bands real life story is jus as incredible as their music
Pink Floyd's whole approach to music is unlike any other artist out there. They were the Beethoven and Bach of our generation.
thats so true
MOZART
The Moody Blues almost made it there.
phish can take you there
I wrote a paper in college on just that actually! Beethoven was right between the classical (structured but dry) and the romantic (emotion but no structure) so he's got the emotion with the structure to back it up. Same with Floyd IMO.
Right to the soul with no lyrics just vocal expression, Clare is amazing.
And this is long before auto-tune. Just her lungs and her voice.
Yeah, way, way before the Autoshit Pandemia. Glad to find someone who probably hates it just as much as I do. Even great singers like Lady Gaga and Rihanna use it. So, so disgusting.
This song is one of the greatest pieces of art ever created
"I wasn't ready for it" .....HAHAHA...Sub'd
thanks! lol
Same
J Morris yea that's a great line.. Most people aren't ready for pink floyd..
That was the best part. Like,,,hold on, let's go back, I wasn't ready for that." ....beautiful reaction.
No one is ever ready for it the first time! Once you hear it, though, that beginning is like a climax, when she starts!
I have to respect Joey's reactions here, & the fact he's willing to give new (old!) music a serious listen. Good man.
Listening to it for 35 years,, still get the chills
The late Richard Wright on keyboards and David Gilmour on the steel guitar with Claire Torrey giving the performance of a lifetime- so happy that you appreciate this song.
I know all these songs but I'm appreciating them again listening with you
thank you!
Couldn't agree more, its like having a mate over showing them what they need to hear. Hope he reviews some moody blues soon, maybe "the voice" ?
It's so great watching someone discover Pink Floyd for the first time. I wish that I could do it all over again for a "first time" too
The greatest album in recorded history.
Which one? Their all masterpieces, i for some reason love meddle, especially Whot's the deal.
i used to play the whole thing live 😩
I'm a big Floyd fan....best album of all time??? You must consider Deep Purple - Machine head.
Clare Torrey, a young English woman laid that down, just went off! One of my all time Favorite vocal performances
❤
2 1/2 takes
This is one of the most beautiful rock songs ever written. Ridiculous how spoiled we were back then with the music we had. RIP the great Richard Wright.
Pretty much everyone was stunned when they listened to this song for the first time, because you just cannot be prepared for what the singing is going to be like. You're new to Pink Floyd, but even if you had memorized every one of their albums before "Dark Side of the Moon", you wouldn't have been ready for this song. They've made a wide variety of songs in their career, but the piano work from Richard Wright and the singing from Clare Torry created this song which was from a whole another world.
This was an album that had everyone running out to upgrade their stereo equipment, and buy the best speakers or headphones they could find. And you wanted absolute silence around you while you listened to it.
yes ! once i heard that singing i was sold !
Clare Torrey was a session singer they hired on short notice for this. They told her the general idea of what they were going for and she improvised this on the spot. That’s why, eventually, she got a writing credit for this song.
There are so many moments on this album that give you chills. Possibly the greatest musical work of the 20th Century.
Joey you’re reactions make me tear up every time. You’re a beautiful person.
Funny, I had the same reaction. So cool.
agreed.
I agree....it's genuine, and Joey really pays attention to detail!!
Absolutely.
Thank god I'm not the only one.
60 yrs old and this is STILL, imo, Floyd's masterpiece. Clare and Richard.....
I think the commenter means he is 60 not the song
Absolutely. But everything else kicks ass too
David Gilmour was born on March 6, 1946, so he is 72 and better than ever. I go to heaven every time I listen to David Gilmour.
Amongst so many. Echoes so so deep.
I so LOVE your reaction to this song!!!! Pink Floyd has been my favorite group since high school. Mind blowing music. Peace brother.
OMG, she sounds like an incredibly soulful sax solo. The rhythm... everything. No words required... we know how she feels! How she do that?
Joy and sadness combined into something beautiful. Maybe that's the essence of soul.
I love that it always took two women to do this song in concert. Clare Torry was incomparable. She did all of it in one take with no real direction by the band. I am still in love with her voice 45 years after she laid the track down.
Brit Floyd is traveling and one gal does this. Saw them in Detroit last March. Phenomenal. Wasn't Clare Torry, but it was close enough.
Bryan Clancy the tribute bands use three woman.
nick zee Try the Aussie Pink Floyd who are note perfect and now sell out the 02 in London.
czcams.com/video/wfT8_arGKnw/video.html
Bryan Clancy Clare described Roger's "direction "as best she could;"He said 2 words into my ear"feel it"and then was an absolutely mad Englishman conductor ,swooping his arms up 4 high notes ,putting his finger 2 his lips 4 the softer nuances and all facial expressions along with it!"At the end of the track ,Roger gallantly took her hand
and delicately kissed it and said "Thank U Ms.Torry,I believe we have it."1 take.Synchronicity.Lightning in a bottle.
Sonic Alchemy.☮️B un2 U✨🙏🏼✨
I could watch you watch Pink Floyd all day. Love it.
Hey, it's like listening to Floyd for the first time all over again watching you enjoying it, peace brother.
If Pink Floyd is the music I hear when I enter heaven I'm smiling & crying
Check out Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
you can just about check out any song, saw them twice 75 and 94
You really need to listen to most Pink Floyd albums from start to finish. Listening to individual songs doesn't tell the whole story....only bits and pieces.
you are correct sir
Yes. Esp the 70's albums. Start to finish.
Absolutely! Honestly that's how I've almost always listened to music. There were so many "concept albums" in the 70's you kind of had tou listen from the first to the last track. I've heard some musicians from that period say they never got played on radio because the D.J.'s couldn't get out of a track... they would have had to play at least a full side. :0)
Preach on Mr. Kephart!
There’s so many albums from the era that when one song ends I am already hearing the next song in my head and am actually kind of disappointed when I’m not listening to the whole album. It’s almost a whole different way of appreciating music in general.
This young man clearly enjoys all music regardless of race . I enjoy watching his videos
Lesley Cunningham why would race have anything to do with enjoying music?
Floyd is ageless and I love it when younger people discover it
I have heard this several hundred times, each time it is like the first time, but you have to listen to the whole album this Interlude song is singular within rock music when this album
first came out we were all Blown Away.
its a very beautiful song !
You can only imagine when You reacted to time and then stopped it, my heart sank, I was sad that you didn't get to experience the whole thing, but your hooked now
no going back from Floyd.
You need to listen to this whole album as originally intended, as it is an experience you won’t regret. Having a pink Floyd playlist that cherry picks songs defeats the purpose. Apart from Dark Side of the Moon, other albums listening in their entirety are: Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and Animals.
agreed --- DSOM is an album to listen to in linear track fashion as is Animals or the Wall. Get a master disc and listen on a turntable.
I couldn't agree more, their albums are like Symphonies just genius.
Joey, I saw this performed 45 years ago during the first Dark Side of the Moon tour. As opposed to the normal exuberant gushing about how utterly awesome the concert was, my friends and I (including several prominent radio DJs) were struck nearly speechless afterwards. What words could add to the experience?
I am envious of you for being able to experience this now, fresh and new, as if it was 1973 all over again. Because this is a timeless album with timeless themes, timeless music and timeless musicianship, people will be having this experience of it for all time to come. There is no such thing as "being late." Either you're into it, or you're potentially into it. I'm thrilled for you that you were able to discover it.
Dark Side will forever be a masterpiece in the Louvre of albums. Glad he enjoyed it.
Pink Floyd, the Mozart of our time.
After seing your review of "Time" I searched for this song praying that you listened to it! Sooo happy you got to experience this! I smiled from ear to ear before she started singing because it was obvious you had NO IDEA what what about to happen!
Goosebumps EVERY time i hear this song for 35+ years!!!
Goosebumps and tears. So moving!
I've heard this song hundreds of times and it still gives me goosebumps every single time. It's one of my favorite songs to use when I'm judging a new pair of headphones or speakers. Truly one of the greatest two-take wonders ever recorded.
G'day Joey, you have no idea how happy it makes me feel to watch someone of your generation walk through the audio diary of my life. It's more than Rock n Roll...it's a musical journey through sound at its highest artistic level. I'm really just another ear out there but to see you passing around this art with new and wonderful exuberance is truly gratifying. Far be it from me to suggest you find some fine green but if you did, I would recommend you listen alone...without distractions. Cheers mate, Jeff.
wise advice
The band recognised Clare Torry's contribution to this song by giving her a co-writing credit on this song some years later which gives her a percentage of the royalties.
Vernon Allen ... unfortunately she had to sue pink Floyd in a court of law to get the credit and royalties. They didn't want to give it to her. She didn't even know they had used her singing until she heard herself on the released LP.
Vernon she sued the shit out of them for 50% of all dark side royalties and won butnsettled for an undisclosed amount
We played this in my grandfathers funeral. One powerful moment
No worries, it never gets old watching people react to Pink Floyd for the first time.
2:37 No one is, bro... Not even after hearing it a hundred times, it doesn't dull it at all.
And the song is about death. It follows on from Time, where the last verse talks about feeling like you wasted your time instead of living it. The last chorus talks about trying to live your life now, at old age, but achieving nothing. And the coda talks about the tolling of the bell, calling the faithful to their knees, in prayer. And after your life is spent, all that's left is The Great Gig in the Sky.
"The memories of a man in his old age , are the deeds of a man in his prime" -pink floyd -free four
Hey Joey, good to see the hairs on your arm standing up, its been doing that to the rest of us Pink Floyd fans for the past 45 years. Welcome to the club.
awesome !
If you ever get a chance go and see Brit Floyd in concert, they tour North America every autumn and are the next best thing to Pink Floyd. Check them out on CZcams
I agree, I've seen them three times and they are as close as you can get to the real deal
Joey Reacts....now I hope you can understand why there are those of us that think the ?music? of today doesn't hold up to what the music was back in the day.....and this is a small but GREAT sample of that. I admire that you have an open mind, something there's too little of these days.
Rusty Lut yip
everytime i hear them it is so emotional
so blessed to see them 2 times in the 80s one of my all time favorite bands
Does my heart soooo good to see someone young and of a different era get goosebumps from the majesty of Pink Floyd's music. Their music is more than just something to listen to, or dance to, or mouth rhyming words to. It affects you. You feel it. It's soul music, man, and they weren't a band. They were a production! They were the Mozart & Beethoven of the 70s and the 70s was a special time for greatness. Thanks for sharing.
i'm probably not the first one to suggest this, but you need to listen to the whole album man. like from beginning to end laying down with your eyes closed and you will know what love sounds like
I used to lay on the floor with two speakers on each side of me.
@@melanie5442 thats the way to do it
Or with a good pair of headphones.
A. Stbr I was 7 when I was introduced to this and that’s exactly what I did. Big old school headphones and I always zoned out
You got it, that's exactly right.
Welcome to the revolution my brother weve been waiting for you
And we've waited along time. Even here in the UK you could get all the people that loved the good shit into a phone box & still have people come in to make a call!
Back in the day 97% of English girls didn't get it at all & maybe 80% of the guys. This music was really the preserve of slightly more cerebrally wired dudes but I wish it had become mainstream to save me from some of the crap I've had to endure for the last 30 years!
I bought the album when it was first released in the 70's and as far as I'm concerned there has never been anything released since that can touch it. Just my opinion.
So powerfully moving , emotionally stunning , no words can describe Pink Floyd ...
Love watching you enjoy this, I cry everytime I listen to this.
At 70 Sat in my armchair with headset listening to this , next stop heaven. 🇨🇦 expat 🇬🇧 enjoy your journey joey
Nice one Derek enjoy great taste in music,
Not in a chair yet but I'm still a young 63 feeling 73. That is the best idea I've heard yet, just sitting back and listening to Pink Floyd until your time ends.
It can never be duplicated. Even Clare herself can’t do it the second or third times....beautiful
Her voice makes me feel high, chills and tears in my eyes. Beautiful
IF YOU WATCH AN INTERVIEW WITH CLARE TORRY SHE DID TWO TAKES OF THE SONG AND ONLY FINISHED HALF OF A THIRD AND SAID NO WE DONT NEED ANY MORE TAKES,SHE GOT PAID £30 FOR THE SESSION,SHE ALSO SAID THE ONLY ONE THAT TALKED TO HER WAS DAVID GILMOUR,SHE DIDNT EVEN THINK THE SONG WOULD GET ON THE ALBUM,BUT IT WAS ALL IMPROVISED,AMAZING ONE OF THE BEST VOCAL SONGS EVER I THINK
Ok fine, but why are you shouting?
He's got the headphones on and can't hear himself as he types :))
Why hasn't anyone typed out the lyrics ,
Someone usually does.
45 years later, "The Great Gig in the Sky" still moves me to tears. Loved seeing you dig it so much.
Watching your reaction filled my heart with so much joy, bro.
Your facial expression when her vocal comes in is priceless. I've listened to this song since I was a kid and it STILL gets me every time!
This is when Dorothy is pulled into the tornado.
What about Napoleon Dynamite?
Yes!!! 🌪🏠🌈💃🏻🐶
The Metropolis mash up is pretty amazing as well.
THE RUBY SLIPPERS HAVE BEEN FOUND!!!
subg88 lol
#darksideofthemoon
This song on LSD is like the moment in the album where you understand and begin to accept the infinite nature of reality.
im listen to the full album 2mrow
Someone I know told me it opens a whole knew dimension to Pink Floyd. Incredible.
Sam Parr He's very right about that
Try it on ecstasy! Lol..Its been 20 plus years, but Ive heard every floyd album on LSD, shrooms...But on E? Tears start to flood
Marc Bionda Someone who isn't me took too much shrooms once. He was about to lose his shit so he put on Dark Side of the Moon, lied down in the bed in the fetal position and closed his eyes. He said it was like dying and going to heaven having God and his seraphs singing and playing DSOTM for him. Apparantly he was so faded he could no longer perceive the music as Pink Floyd. It was something entirely new he had never heard before. In his field of vision he saw worlds being created infront of his very eyes like water paint. Colors were alive. So vivid, so beautiful and so intense. Tears were rolling down his face like he had won the lottery. It was a beautiful sight.
I first heard Dark Side of the Moon when it came out in 1973. I was 15 and my older brother playing a minty fresh copy of DSOTM on his "hifi" in his new "pad". I was mesmerized and so when funds permitted I ran to buy my own copy from Sam The Record Man who could barely keep it in stock. That point started my musical journey into 70s prog rock which became the main staple of my musical diet for many years. I'm 62 now and later ventured into other musical genres but my intro to Pink Floyd DSOTM in 73 marked the beginning of perhaps the best years of my musical expedition. And I have my older brother to thank. I still have my original Canadian copy of Dark Side of the Moon I bought in 1973 which is still in good playable condition.
I see them 5 times since 89 and I get chills eveytime, it's like being in heaven to me. Unreal experience and I want to bring my kids to a show before they retire
First time listening to this song. Cried.
Electric Storm! Heard this literally 1000’s of times, and it still makes the hairs on my arms stand on end, and tears come from no-where.
Its awesome when other people “get it” :)
paul willis 🙂
@@wilburchubs that's what i came to say
I cry every time
Pink Floyd is a musical experience and became a visual experience as well. Their fans are in the millions with their children usually fans as well. Turn someone on to them they will thank you afterwards.
It’s such a THRILL to watch you “get-off” on the music that I’ve been getting off on for forty years! If you think it’s great now, you should try it high! 😉
How I wish I could hear this for the first time again.
In the movie School of Rock, Jack Black's character tells Tamika "Oh my goodness, nice pipes Tamika" after he hears her sing and tells her to listen to Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, the vocal solo in The Great Gig In The Sky. Now you know why!
you need to listen to this album from start to finish, it'll all makes sense. blends together beautifully.
im start doing it 2mrow love this band
Ab right on - but just love the very start is an abbreviated preview of the wealth of jewels to come : genius of the highest order.
When Claire first tried to do the vocals. She apologised because she thought she totally done it completely wrong. Then they told her that she nailed it on the first take.
czcams.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/video.html
Shspurs. That's not what she says in a youtube video. She said they didn't know what they wanted and didn't give her much information but they said 'no words' she decided that she had to make her voice be like an instrument. She did a couple of takes and David Gilmour asked for a third saying he thought she could do better but she stopped halfway through the third take and said I think the first one was 'complete' and that's the one they used. They never commented on it or said whether they liked it. She didn't know what it was for or even the title of the track and one day noticed a new album by Pink Floyd in the shops and saw her name in it against 'The Great Gig in the Sky' track, so she bought a copy.
Helen Trope Yes but I have Seen Roger Waters say she nailed it straight away. He even said that she apologised.
In her interview she says she started off singing words and David Gilmour said we don't want words. I thought that's when she apologised. I'd have to listen to her interview again.

Iv been listening to pink floyd since I was 13 and my dad introduced me to the obscured by clouds album.
'The great gig in the sky' is my favourite song maybe of ALL TIME floyd or not. Watching you mention the goose bumps was so cool because I still get that same vibe 25 years later.
The female vocalist is Clare H. Torry (born on November 29, 1947) she is a British singer. _"I feel like this is the type of music you hear when you are about entered to the heaven"_ this is exactly it! This is why Pink Floyd is so incredible.
You have entered the world of Pink Floyd. Now you are fucked. LOL! Music will never sound the same to you again after going through the Pink Floyd catalogue.
So true!
You’ve nailed it Darrell!!! Like the song says, the lunatic is in my head, and it will never leave!
Darrell Waller it's fucking real, I started to listen pink floyd in January 2018, before I listened to imagine dragons and Coldplay, now I listen to only pink floyd albums and gilmour, waters, wright, mason and barrett solos albums...It's awensome
Welcome. Brother.
Welcome to the "Pink Floyd'd" world bro!!!
She didnt say one word, but she told more than most of todays pop "singers"
When her voice drops in behind those drum beats....first time I heard it I damn near cried. Never has a song spoken so much to me without having any actual lyrics.
Clare says she didn’t know how to approach this but decided she needed to become an instrument. She’s incredible!
This song makes me feel out of my body, listening to it is one of the best experiences that you can have.
The female vocalist is Clare H. Torry. There is a video the band put out to celebrate the 25th (I think) anniversary of this album where they comment on how different things were done. They say Miss Clare thought she'd done a bad job on these vocals. The band was blown away and said her vocals totally made the song.
I first got hooked with the song “Money” and my love affair with Pink Floyd music is non stop thereafter. Pink Floyd is the best group music band in the world, and once you listened to their songs, there is no going back.
