Underappreciated

Clare Torry, the voice of Pink Floyd’s “The Great Gig in the Sky,” records “One Way Street” with The Chandeliers on Heaven in the Sky (2006 compilation)

Great melodic pop of the era, now somewhat closer to modern alt country

"Out came a wordless vocal performance that married wailing, histrionic emotion with what sounded like an assertive counter to the songs’ intimation of the inevitability of death. It was utterly divine." #PinkFloyd #ClareTorry #DarkSideOfTheMoon l.smartnews.com/p-kpmq5mg/Ox...

An Art Piece of Assorted Lunatics

I drew this on the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side, but I think it’s still worth posting on the 52nd 🗣️🐇🏃‍➡️⏰☁️💷🤼‍♀️🌈🧠🌕

#pinkfloyd #rogerwaters #davidgilmour #nickmason #rickwright #claretorry #dickparry #art #fanart #digitalart
To represent Breathe (In The Air), I had 6 rabbits leap around Nick Mason (“Run, rabbit, run”). I like the fact that Dark Side turned 50 during the Year of the Rabbit, so that became a great excuse to feature rabbits. I think it’s interesting that the entire band was afraid of flying back when they first started, as shown with On The Run. Eventually the band got through this fear, but David Gilmour went one step further by getting a pilot’s license. I did my best to do Ian Emes’ Time clocks justice here. It hurts that Rick Wright isn’t here; he deserved more time. Of course I had Clare Torry represent The Great Gig In The Sky; it’s her and Rick’s baby! I depicted her swirling some heavenly clouds around (I didn’t want to lay the afterlife imagery on TOO thick, or make it look morbid). Dick Parry’s saxophone playing elevates Money from fantastic to legendary. He represents the song, along with a few coins and bank notes! The moon changes phases, circling around Roger Waters (not that it bothers him). Eclipse, like Speak To Me at the start, references the many messages of the album. What we see, touch, feel, love, borrow, fight…it continues. It continues with different people and different times. There is good and bad in all of us; it’s a perfectly natural, eternal thing. Everything circles back, just like the phases of the moon itself…besides the occasional eclipse.
