"The Narrow Way" is a section on the studio half of Pink Floyd's fourth album Ummagumma. It was written by David Gilmour and is divided into three parts. When the band were making the album, they decided that they would each have to perform each instrument on their own section.
Part 1 of the song was called "Baby Blue Shuffle in D major" when played by the band on a BBC broadcast on December 2nd, 1968; it also strongly resembles the tracks "Rain in the Country (take 1)" and "Unknown Song" recorded (but eventually not used) for the soundtrack of Michelangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point in November/December 1969. Part 3 of the song was incorporated into The Man and the Journey on their 1969 tour.
