Song Themes

In order for our music video to be successfully, there are a variety of criteria that we must fulfil. One of which is satisfying the themes that are particularly associated with both Pink Floyd, and our choice of song: Great Gig in the Sky. 


The themes that this song emphasises are of death and unhappiness, and these are constantly thrown at the audience through the strong use of narrative throughout the whole 4:47. Great Gig in the Sky, was named both "The Mortality Sequence" and "The Religion Song" throughout recording of the track. Therefore, it must be our aim to recreate and follow these themes. 


As mentioned, the narrative of the piece is particularly strong in giving a flow of emotion throughout the track, and these are particularly great given the great passion and voice of Clare Torry. The song itself has no lyrics, however this does not take away from the song; in my opinion, the absence adds to the despair and distraught that is being represented by the vocal.
