Of course it will! It's Pink Floyd! You should watch the live version of this song! They will surprise you! You'll love it! Check out Free- Be My Friend when you get a chance!

Was into this when it first came out. Wore the grooves out of my record and had to buy a new one. It can still make me cry after all this time. Thanks for sharing. You've got good taste. Also check out "Pretending to care" by Todd Rungren. That will get you too and even more phenomenal - it's just his voice. Enjoy!

[@martykehoe8510]

Landry Hammond I completely agree. It is so great seeing people experience Floyd for the first time. What a magical journey. Some people say you need to take drugs to appreciate Pink Floyd. The truth is that Pink Floyd is a drug in and of itself. A myriad of emotions that no other band can supply. I've been on the Floyd train for over 35 years, and I hope to keep on riding it for another 35 years. Long live the greatest band of all time!

[@markkettlewell7441]

It’s a very emotional song about death. The shock, the bargaining, and finally the acceptance. I tear up every time I hear this. Claire Torrey only did one take in the studio and they used it. They didn’t need another. When they wrote this song they felt the instrumental lacked something so they asked Claire working as a session singer in anther studio room if she would improvise for this song. She did, and this was the result. Serendipity created another masterpiece 😃

[@bengybogs]

I thought it was Doris Troy on backing vocal, just asking.

I cant imagine a baby enjoying actual nice dark chocolate, sugar and corn syrup with like 1% cocoa yeah.

[@thepunadude]

FUCKIN PERFECT!

[@Serai3]

+Loren Darcy Absolutely not true. Babies have to be taught to like sweet things. They prefer bland tasting things because their mother's milk is bland. Babies in modern society have been taught to like sweet things because when baby food began to be sold for mother's convenience, the mothers would taste it and say it wasn't good, it had no flavor. The manufacturers had to put sugar in it to get it past the mothers, and thus the babies were basically forced to learn to like sugar. It's a vicious cycle, but it in no way reflects nature. (Of course, babies wouldn't like real chocolate either, because it's bitter as hell, and bitterness is a flavor that also has to be learned acceptance. I can't stand the stuff, myself.)

[@magnumsolutions]

The vocals were done by one woman, Clare Torry, a 25 year old British singer.. It was an improvised vocal session where she was trying to feel out the song and understand what the guys wanted from her and made up the melody on the fly. She sung it twice fully and once partially. The final track was assembled from all three takes. That may be the difference that you are hearing. Good ear.

I totally agree. With one exception. Granted, Pink Floyd has been here a minute but look at where it’s expanding to. This channel is a perfect example. He says it himself “you guys got me exited for this”. Fans of KTF and fans of PF collided and here we are learning music we’ve never heard before. People dropping history of this album and that album. It’s fans BEING fans. We’re all different and we’re all here. I think this is what Floyd would have wanted. Different folks coming together and just listening and sharing. It’s awesome.

[@christianvanskike2347]

So, according to Torrey, She was asked to come to the studio and had never actually heard the music. They played the song for her, told her to sing to it. She did a series of "babies" and they said, no, that isn't it. So, she belted put this magic on the second take and didn't hear the song again until she went and bought the album years later.

[@bazzer124]

Clare Torry, the vocalist for TGGITS, got the equivalent of about $100 for her performance. She toured with Floyd for The Dark Side and I was fortunate enough to see the Milwaukee Cty Stadium show. I was absolutely blown away and utterly amazed when this little woman had the spot shown on her and she let loose. Some 50,000 people there and you could hear a pin drop while she sang....

[@031767sc]

some years back she actually got paid a lot of money when she started a lawsuit, and the FLOYD realized the unfairness and settled and took care of her

[@bazzer124]

Good for her. From Floyd's perspective I suppose they said she took a singing gig, did it (albeit extraordinarily) and got paid.

[@DarkMatterX1]

@@bazzer124 Which technically, they'd be correct.

You are very lucky to be there. I didnt know she sang it live with them, nobody mentions that, just the studio session and the lawsuit

Its Ok to cry Brother!! ReaI Men Do Cry! I cried when I put my best friend in the ground when I went home. We would drop acid in the Army amd then listen to Floyd. I didnt drop any when I threw dirt on him but I wept like a school girl listening to this song. Pink Floyd is great at making you feel some tyoe of way.

Pink Floyd music will make you think you're stoned even if you don't smoke.

[@markl2273]

This album taught me EVERYTHING I ever needed to know about motivation, morality, caring, greed, longing, and death is inevitable for all of us. Death is overblown in our culture. We fight it, despise it, and deny it applies to us. This tells us, Death is just the last part of a full life. They don't even try to go into "What's next". That is left up to you.

[@christianvanskike2347]

My dude, SAY IT LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK! Mortality is what makes life worth living. When people say "you know that is bad for you" or "you know that can kill you" I come back with "You know what the leading cause of death is, well, really the only cause? Life!"

[@lowelldavidlipe1448]

Yep. Great vocalist

[@420since1974]

Harrison Dennis: When Clare Torry first arrived at Abbey Road Studios, Pink Floyd told her the general themes of the album. She listened to the backing track a couple of times, then she put on the cans and began singing an "Oh baby, oh baby" type of scat, which was not what they wanted at all. David Gilmour was the only person to give her any direction, and offered her a can of Heinekin beer. Next, she tried sounding like an instrument, which they immediately liked. When they began to record her; she sang two and a half takes before she felt that they had enough. Engineer Alan Parsons then used a combination of those recordings for the finished product. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3q6aKuQiNGNpa8

[@shspurs1342]

I know maybe people suggest this too, but if you haven't done it yet, listen to the whole Dark Side Of The Moon album. Trust me, you won't loose your time. The album is about life, from the first Breathe to the final Eclipse. Aaaaand, as you like this kind of female voices and also epic guitar solos (I've noticed that in other videos :D), you should listen to : Dream Theater "The Spirit Carries On" live version with Theresa Thomason. I bet you'll get goosebumps with that one.

[@rashford1156]

Firstly the guy who says at the beginning of the track "I am not frightened of dying, why should I be frightened of dying."etc.etc. was the doorman/security guy at Abbey Road Studios where the album was recorded, in answer to PFs general questions about the thoughts of all the different people who were employed in a minor capacity at Abbey Road at that time. Many of the whispered voices you hear on this Album are not made by the band members themselves. Clare Torrey who "Sang" this track was paid $50 for it but in the early 2000s received an out of court settlement from the band and was co-credited with writing it. It is the only song on the album that she sung on .All the other tracks that had female singers were session singers. Most of us have seen the Clare Torry video interview where she talks about this song but I remember an interview she gave long before KZbin ,Google etc. where she specifically says that Dave Gilmour took her to one side and asked her if she could improvise her singing to imagine how she would feel what dying would be like. I first heard The Great Gig in The Sky in 74 and had no idea what the song was about but I was left stunned into a deep mental silence. I thought the singer was a beautiful black soul singer who had gone unrecognised by me. The song still moves me deeply in a wonderful way to this day.(P.S.The other 4 females on the rest of TDSOTM were all session singers and the one who has the most prominent voice on the tracks "Time, Brain Damage/Eclipse was a lady called Doris Troy who was born in The Bronx.)
