I have no idea what the extraneous stuff going on in this thread is about but some people just really seem to need attention. Anyway, I chose GM. In my opinion it's just a much more beautiful and well rounded song, and the KQED performance is incredibly good. No wrong answer though.

Sunday Showdown: Grantchester Meadows vs The Narrow Way

"The Narrow Way" all the way; "Grandchester Meadows" bores me.
BTW, does anyone have a clue on how that effect which links Part 2 into Part 3 was achieved? I mean the one that is a descending harsh sound which then turns choir-like.

Thanks for this clarification, as it has made clear, what your 'we' was standing for.Last edited by Floydophile; 08-19-2024, 08:00 PM.

I general skip GM almost every time...studio or live. The Narrow Way all the way.
The "EYE" thing - generally I do not wade into these waters, but, while I agree with the idea espoused above that it might be juvenile to do, I also find the idea of potentially banning someone over doing it just as juvenile. Getting back out of the water now and will remain on dry ground...

What really annoys me about the studio version of Grandchester Meadows is the bird sound effects loop, it's just way too short and it's repeated during the whole song. Since I noticed it I haven't been able to enjoy the song as much as I used to. The live versions are much better because it has different bird sounds that doesn't loop like that.
Maybe I'm being too picky, but that's how I feel. The song itself it really good by the way 🙂

Grantchester Meadows for sure...and, yes, the transition from the nature to space was genius. I wish they had done it a few more times. And of course the piano in the BBC version outro was nice as well. The Narrow Way is ruined by poor sound quality, poor drumming, sci fi lyrics, a poor mix, and barely audible vocals. The BBC version is better.Last edited by Demamo; 08-21-2024, 07:09 AM.
