Yes, nicely said. And on top of the vocals making sense, it also isn't uncommon for a band to have a backup singer, (who is a part of the band), do a track, or participate on a duet. Especially with Floyd, the back up singers have been a major part of their shows since the 80's, and they and Waters always have stellar singers with them on tour. The Waters version of this song from Us and Them, with the starfield in the background, is a great visual, along with a nice duet version of the song.

Always reminds me of this poem: Alexander Pope. 1688-1744 442. The Dying Christian to his Soul VITAL spark of heav'nly flame! Quit, O quit this mortal frame: Trembling, hoping, ling'ring, flying, O the pain, the bliss of dying! Cease, fond Nature, cease thy strife, And let me languish into life. Hark! they whisper; angels say, Sister Spirit, come away! What is this absorbs me quite? Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath? Tell me, my soul, can this be death? The world recedes; it disappears! Heav'n opens on my eyes! my ears With sounds seraphic ring! Lend, lend your wings! I mount! I fly! O Grave! where is thy victory? O Death! where is thy sting?

You shouldn't feel Hoodwinked Brad. This song comes in a larger context when you listen to the entire album. And dark side of the moon was never meant to listen to one song at a time or out of order. The Great gig in the sky was never meant to have lyrics it is based on the emotion of losing someone and the 4 stages of anger, grief, denial, and acceptance.

Claire Torrey was a session vocalist who was asked by PF to sing. She did one take and they used it. She was given a basic idea of what the music was supposed to convey and she nailed it. The song is about death. The beginning is about the disbelief and anger, then there comes the bargaining, eventually we hear the acceptance and the eventual death. This is a modern musical masterpiece.

Remember "Time" ends with, "Far away, across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spell." Now you have heard the magic spell.

Most of us have seen the Clare Torry video interview where she talks about this song but I remember an interview she gave long before KZfaq ,Google etc.(Probably in The NME) where she specifically says that Dave Gilmour took her to one side and asked her if she could improvise her singing to envisage how she would imagine what dying would feel like. I first heard The Great Gig in The Sky in 74 and had no idea what the song was about but I was left stunned into a deep mental silence. I thought the singer was a beautiful black soul singer who had gone unrecognised by me. The song still moves me deeply in a wonderful way to this day.(P.S.The other 4 females on the rest of TDSOTM were all session singers and the one who has the most prominent voice on the tracks "Time, Brain Damage/Eclipse was a lady called Doris Troy who was born in The Bronx

As much as I love David Gilmore's vocals and the band's lyricism as a whole, Pink Floyd is still a great band, instrumentally. Musical composition is a language itself. A language that can express emotion better than words in many cases. Pink Floyd is an experience. In my opinion, a great band can aid in the transcendence of conscious awarenes and filter your perception through vibration. Whether it's vibration from vocal cords, a cello, a guitar, drums, brass, etc. The "right" vibrations can help us snap out of a pessimistic attitude, click into mental focus, or simply fall into a groove. A groove where your perception of time changes and you feel eternally present and at peace. Pink Floyd, Chopin, George Harrison, Tool (Particularly Lateralus, Parabol/Parabola & Pneuma), good bluegrass and jammy reggae do the trick for me.

Rather than the "instrument" going through death, I've always thought her voice represented the soul leaving the body, and moving on.

The random facts on the screen is probably the most irritating thing I’ve seen today. And Clare did this in two and a half takes, middle of the third she stopped and told them theirs going to have to pick their fav parts from those takes, she said if she did it again it wouldn’t be organic.

That’s how I feel about music videos in general. The videos can often times accentuate the meaning of the song it’s for but I always think it’s best to hear it first then dive into the visual medium.

Its like the person going through the “dying” experience. The singer takes you through it. They talked about dying at the beginning of the song.

Believe me, if you listen to the whole album you will discover that The Great Gig stands out as brightest gem amidst other precious jewels. And the more you listen, the more you feel that it's the most beautiful song on that record. It's like David Gilmour's solo but on vocals, not guitar. Cheers. (DO listen to entire Album)

The band Pink Floyd was named by Syd Barret the one of the original founders of the band. Who later developed severe psychosis from LSD. The name was derived by combining the names of 2 bluesmen. Pinkney "Pink" Anderson (February 12, 1900 - October 12, 1974) and Floyd Council (September 2, 1911 - May 9, 1976). Consequently, several of the songs such as Wish You Were Here is about Syd Barret

The whole point of the Clare's performance was to convey the meaning of the song without using words. She nails it for me. It's hard to understand the songs out of context of the album, but if you recall, by the end of the previous songs Time and Breathe Reprise the person singing might just be referring to their death. Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Home -> Heaven (maybe) The last 3 lines are about people kneeling at church hearing prayer. Maybe a funeral? That's one interpretation at any rate which makes some sense because Great Gig is about the emotional process of grieving for someone who has passed that you love.
