Great song from a very underrated album

Townshend’s voice is at its best on this solo album. Nearly flawless

I’ve always preferred Pete’s voice to Roger’s

I can listen to Pete Townsend for hours.

OH YEAH!

i think this album was very underrated=Awesome!!!!!! Classic Pete!!!!!!!

"Chinese Eyes" is a GREAT ALBUM; Townsend himself is a very underrated solo artist. But he did have that band that was pretty big, too!

Who?

A song recommended by my BFF. I love you JP💋

In 1978 (February) I purchased Queen's "News of the World" and was stunned by the song 'All Dead'. I never recaptured that sense of dread until I first heard this tune. And those last few lines socked me in the gut. Artistry.

Agreed this is nothing short of brilliant.

OmgSoRigged Poker This sort of thing. Rush of course. Peter Gabriel. Can you say progressive?

How could anyone not think this a better version imo??Nice bridge and backing vocals....

I’m reading about the act of vandalism to the Sycamore Gap tree on Hadrian's Wall Path in Northumberland. This song came into my head. “Way up there near the Roman wall.” Sad.

REAL ARTIST PETE=ART, Talent, meaning and thought provoking poetry. Meanwhile garbage tops the charts today....

Reminds my of my trip through Eire in the mid seventies. God what was I in love with a girl from Youghal and what a fantastic time it was together!!

Pete Townshend: "Roy Harper did a version of North Country Girl based on a version done by Bob Dylan...and I do a version, based on the version done by Roy Harper." [Pete introducing the song before he played it live at the 1998 'A Day in the Garden' concert.]

The master 😍😍😍😍😍

great song.... very deep

basically the idea is that he changes the story of the song to talk about what happens when there's a fallout and one of the only unaffected place is this bit of north country where this girl he knows lives. So he's hoping she's still there and he can just spend the rest of the end of the world with her.

love this album

"She didn't suffer when the fallout sprayed." For those of you who are clueless, this song was recorded in 1982, at the height of the cold war, when everyone thought ICBMs were about to fly. Look for *The Day After,* right here on YT.

zaxxxon pretty sure he was talking about the stinking Brits treatment of Irish prisoners and the fallout from the bombs and violence in Belfast.

freakin' awesome

An album better than Empty Glass and I like Empty Glass

Class x

Yep

Pete played this song in his concerts with a melody close to Bob Dylan's original version, i prefer Pete's studio version with the new arrangements! Does somebody know if there is a live version that sounds like this one?

"For I am exiled in a lonely place."

LOVE...But to dare to interpret Pete's meaning of this song is insane. Not in a thousand yrs...

@2eak Same song.

ce disque devrait etre remboursé par la sécurité sociale ( francaise, bien sur!! ). un grand disque .merci .arnaud

Good cover but what's up with the goofy 'fall-out sprayed' lyric right at the end?

"She didn't suffer when the fallout sprayed." What the hell's that all about?

nope.

sorry.... but better than Dylan's.IMO

Yeah - a little goofy.

75% of this is ripped off from Bob Dylan's 'Girl of the North Country' - a far superior song in fact,

Townshend is great, but this is terrible.
