About The Artwork

"The Great Gig in the Sky" is the fifth track[nb 1] on The Dark Side of the Moon, the 1973 album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. The song began life as a Richard Wright chord progression, known variously as "The Mortality Sequence. Finally, a couple of weeks before the album was due to be finished, the band thought of having a female singer "wail" over the music. The band began casting around for a singer, Alan Parsons suggested Clare Torry. The band played the instrumental track to Torry and asked her to improvise a vocal. At first she struggled to find what was needed, but then she was inspired to sing as if she was an instrument herself. She performed two complete takes, the second one more emotional than the first. The members of the band were deeply impressed by Torry's performance. Pink Floyd keyboard player Rick Wright wrote this song, which is about life, gradually descending into death. Hence the angrier and more intense first half with a dying person refusing to "go gently into that good night." The second half is gentler, as the dying person gives into the inevitable and fades away. “A language in the instruments that will not distinguish between the content, the meaning, the words and sounds” Wim Mertens.
