"Sea Shell and Stone" similar to "Grantchester Meadows"?

[edit]

*"Sea Shell And Stone" is a quiet, pastoral ballad, similar to "Grantchester Meadows", consisting of cello and acoustic guitar.

How, exactly, are these songs similar? "Sea Shell and Stone" is in a slow triplet time (3/4, 6/8, or 12/8). "Grantchester Meadows" is a moderately-fast 4/4. "Sea Shell and Stone" is in D Major, with a fast harmonic rhythm (the chords change frequently), the same four chords cycling over and over again. "Grantchester Meadows" is in E Major (Mixolydian mode), with a very slow harmonic rhythm (it stays on E a long time before changing to A, etc.), and has a distinct chorus progression (which "Sea Shell and Stone" does not.) "Sea Shell and Stone" has no vocal harmonies, whereas "Grantchester Meadows" does. "Sea Shell and Stone" has a single guitar, while "Grantchester Meadows" has two, one of them soloing in the later part of the song. I'd say they're very different, musically, and that "Sea Shell and Stone" is perhaps more similar to "If".

Is it something in the lyrics, maybe?
