Artist/Band: Pink Floyd
Lyrics for Song: The Great Gig In The Sky
Lyrics for Album: A Foot In The Door: The Best Of Pink Floyd [2011]



"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."



"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."



"I never said I was frightened of dying."



(Instrumental)


The Great Gig In The Sky

Released on the 2011 compilation A Foot In The Door, this track stands as a pivotal moment in Pink Floyd's discography, marking their transition toward progressive rock and theatricality. The song features the iconic vocal performance of Clare Torry, whose soaring, wordless melody became synonymous with the band's later era. It serves as a thematic bridge between their psychedelic 1960s roots and the conceptual masterpiece The Wall, appearing alongside other tracks that explore psychological themes and dramatic soundscapes. The recording exemplifies the band's mastery of atmospheric production and emotional depth, influencing countless artists who followed in the realm of progressive rock and art rock. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to evoke profound emotion through pure sound, cementing Pink Floyd's status as pioneers of the genre.
