This is a beautiful song.

Why isn't Denny on it? rant

That first one always sounded like a minor confection to be honest.

But it's just a gentle echo of the epic track to come.

I'm not sure this 70s over production helps these sort of thing. Lightly strummed acoustic guitar and a couple of vocal overdubs here and there and it would be perfect.

A faux pop song that belies the typical epoch and elegiac epic he specialises in.

Better at that than Pink Floyd?

Track 3 - Cherishing the Lonesome.

More Dear Prudence.

Roy entering his slightly dubiously ~~sexy~~ sexist-hippie lyrical territory.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:39 pm

It's livened up.

Dear Prudence is a rip off of Black Clouds of Roy's first album.

Not really. Grandchester Meadows is a total rip off of a track off the first Roy Harper album

Is this Jimmy Page?

This was better when it was slow.

by Nightjar Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:42 pm

That high note is why he sung on "Have a Cigar".

Doesn't matter what Rog' says.

by Guest Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:42 pm

This weak 70s rock isn't helping the song.
