Took almost 50 years but we found someone who can come close to what Clare Torey did that very early morning.

Am I the only one that’s inexplicably moved to tears by the great gig in the sky?

[Norhairiana]

This is the closest someone can get to the original. 👏👏

Lyrics for Great Gig in The Sky:

"And I'm not afraid of dying, anytime will do, I don't mind.
Why should I be afraid, there's no reason for you've got to go sometime.

*breaths* you hear this whispering you are already

[TheNeonRabbit]

She GETS it! I've heard many versions of this, and the vocals always sound like someone trying to do an American Idol version. This has a range of emotion. It's primal. Wonderful.

[garycarol]

If David Gilmour sees this he will sign her up for his next Great Gig In The Sky performance, I have never heard any female vocalist get so close to the original notes.
Brilliant all round cover.

[summer]

I'm not frightened of dying, I'm frightened of how accurate this is

[Guitarsoul]

Holy sh*t the female vocalist is absolutely killing it on this!!! This is an insanely hard song to cover vocally. Many people can hit the notes, but not bring the grit and soul like on the studio recording. Whew loving this!!!

[timleach]

Gilmour needs to give that girl a call. She did the best reproduction I've heard.

[johnnyotc]

She is probably the best one I have ever seen to cover this nearly impossible song. She needs to be on stage either with Floyd or someone needs to write a song with her. I have hear hundreds of covers on this song. When I say that she did an Amazing doesn't. Words cant really do her justice.

[silmealvar]

Clare Torry must be proud of you girl.

[PrashannaGauta]

lets appreciate that crazy pianist as well 🙏🏻

[yearsgone]

The female voice part is absolutely astounding!! This cover is gold

[reptilerick]

Have to admit I really was sceptical  about the vocals when clicking on this video.  I know the mucisianship is always outstanding but holy crap Lilian just knocked it out of the park!  Fanfuckingtastic guys.  I am going to share this with everyone I can think of.

[The_Kirk_Lazarus]

My god that vocal brought tears to my eyes. So expressive and natural, just like the recording. Thank you.

[nicolaslin]

Pink Floyd should ask this girl on stage. She is exactly the same as Clare.  Finally found.  my lady god.

[PrashannaGauta]

best cover on youtube ever.
not just of this song but best among all covers

[kaittos]

The entire ensemble did very well, but the vocalist stole the show. Good god she absolutely killed it.

[rutazzurra]

She must be Clare Torry's daughter! Goosebumps all over. Greetings from Naples.

[dexmerx]

THIS IS THE BEST! AFTER SEARCHING FOR HOURS I FOUND THE PERFECT ONE.
