What's distinctive about Roy Harper's songs?

  • Short and Poppy

  • Long, Lyrical, Complex

  • Repetitive and Simple

  • Cryptic and Abstract

Answer

Roy Harper's songs are known for being long, lyrical and complex. They often feature long, meandering verses and complex, multi-layered arrangements. This is in contrast to the more straightforward, pop-oriented style of many other British folk singers of the 1960s and 1970s. Harper's songs have also been described as being "cosmic" and "mystical", and they often deal with themes of love, loss, and spirituality.
