New version of Sussex by the Sea...

[Titanic]

in a VERY LOW key.

Not sure I like it. Sounds a bit flat.

 

[Frutos]

Wasn't impressed on first hearing.

We shall see.

 

[Titanic]

There it is again. Too low in the verse, OK in the chorus, until the last line when it goes subterranean again.

Couldn't hear the crowd singing along at all on the radio - atmosphere seems pretty good otherwise (although I suspect it is mostly the SW fans making the noise??)

No, not impressed

 

[Sonic]

No likey.

 

[Titanic]

any comments from anyone at the ground... perhaps it just sounded dull on the radio??

Just got back, didn't like it, more difficult to sing to and get the pitch right (notes not surface!).

 

[British Bulldog]

Did'nt like it at all, can we have the old one back please.

 

[bhawoddy]

Why did it have to be changed?

 

[Titanic]

Why did it have to be changed?

It didn't. It was working pretty well at the end of last season.

Much prefer the old version.

If it ain't broke......

 

[Stat Brother]

Although I did enjoy the new montage.

This.

I found it much harder to sing and so by the sound of it, did many others.

 

[Jack Straw]

I thought it was me, but this thread confirms that today's version was at a lower pitch. Very difficult to sing along to. I found myself yodelling at one point, moving from one pitch to another in order to sing along comfortably.
Bring back last season's GOSBTS version.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Until now I didn't know there was a new version but I did find it hard to sing along to. normally I'm not selfconciouse but this time it all sounded wrong.

Is this some new marketing updated & down with the kidz version?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I am CONFUSED.

Isn't a lower key for SBTS precisely what the OP has been banging on about on this board for the past three years...?

 

[Titanic]

I think you are confusing me with someone else who kept banging on about singing it in in E flat.

While I acknowledge the inherent difficulty for many in singing a song with such a wide vocal range... I have always been a B flat man myself (which I think is what we had last season!).

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Why change a traditional song we have had for as long as I can remember. Change for change sake.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Bring back the old version - much more rousing which is surely the point.

 

[Albumen]

Although I did enjoy the new montage.

Yes, very good.
