Song Lyrics

"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."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."

These are the minimal amount of lyrics taken from our chosen song The Great Gig in the Sky. Although these lyrics are only spoken, it gives a great idea of the themes referenced within the song - particularly that of death. Originally titled The Mortality Sequence, it is clear to see where this title originated. The song meaning surrounds this idea of death and coping with death - the lack of lyrics help to emphasise the emotion and anger felt throughout the piece.
