The Great Big Gig In The Sky-1973

ODC-Pink Floyd

One could compare the banding of these huge birds to this song

They can see a long way down and circle as they descend toward the ground in anticipation of a meal.

Here's what they say about this song: 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.
