Pink Floyd - Grantchester Meadows (Official Music Video)

Grantchester Meadows is a Roger Waters song, originally performed solo on the ‘Ummagumma’ album, that celebrates the English countryside, as in other compositions such as ‘Time’.

This special group performance, taped for the BBC, with acoustic guitars and vocals from Roger Waters and David Gilmour, plus additional piano from Richard Wright and taped songbirds, successfully evokes a summer’s day in Grantchester, a small village close to Cambridge, England. Grantchester’s famous former residents include the Edwardian poet Rupert Brooke, who moved there and subsequently wrote a poem of homesickness entitled ‘The Old Vicarage, Grantchester’. Taken from ‘The Early Years 1965 – 1972’.

See David Gilmour and Roger Waters singing together is the same feeling of see John Lennon and Paul McCartney at that time. Is such a great feeling

[gking]

For me this song works like a spell, casting away my dark and ominous thoughts, replacing them with sunny warmth like a cloak of security

[robinhodgson]

For those who aren't birdwatchers - the bird singing at the end is a Nightingale. The birds at the start include Nightingale, Song Thrush and Cuckoo. Lovely stuff.

[FLAME-XIII]

Pink Floyd Forever and Ever. Touch my soul as no one else.

Pink Floyd is the meaning of life...I'm 63 years old and still feel 20 when listening "Shine on your crazy diamond"

[michellewatters]

I needed to relax, so I looked up Granchester Meadows. I am 64, It takes me back so many years, I love it. It has helped me to relax and let go of the problems in my mind. Now I can go to sleep. I hope to to have wonderfull dreams.

careful with that masterpiece, world.

[RandallGraves]

Lived in Cambridge for 4 years and this place used to be my favourite fishing spot, nothing beats the sun rising over the Meadows on a misty morning. Missing England again

[johnhardesty]

A tune so underrated and so unplayed...shameful, one of their best too!

I first listened to this in a friends room in the late 70s but was recently in Granchester with my son walking along these every banks for the first time. To me this song is about gentle beauty wherever it may be and how it haunts our soul in the way that gives life meaning, but on a prosaic level I'm happy to relay that these meadows are still as beautiful as shown in this film and if you ever find yourself in Cambridge you can walk there as freely as you like.

this song takes me back to a special place, a special time, the memories, beautiful.

[michellewatters]

This song is so beautiful, with the two of them singing and playing so sweetly together.
I want to go down to a meadow and listen to the sound of the nature and the ripples of the water.
Like I did in Scotland when I was a little girl.
Now I live in Italy, on the island of Elba, there are no rivers, or King Fishers. So it is so lovely to listen to in this very troubled time.

Heard this song for the first time and so I am commenting here so that if anybody likes it I can get reminded of this song ... Long live the legacy of Pink Floyd!!!

[BushyHairedStranger]

Ummagumma was a truly incredible album! The Narrow way still haunts me, snf the work Rick did, his keyboard work was monumental!

[starttherebellion]

I hear the seeds of what would become "Goodbye Blue Sky" a decade or so later.

[Itsallindica]

I saw Pink Floyd in 1973, and my ears are still ringing.

[robertguildford]

I visited granchester meadows at the weekend, 30 degrees +. Lots of people swimming, out on rafts and boats. A real pleasure to be there.

[funkhowser]

Been a Pink Floyd fan for 30 years, took me at least 10 years to appreciate UmmaGumma, now one of my favorites
