Woke up at 5:46 am on a Sunday morning to the sounds of my 14 yr old son, 14 yr old granddaughter, and 15 year old daughter transcribing this in the basement then playing it later in the afternoon.
El El El País is País is País is País is País País is País is País País País is País is País is País is País is País País is País País is País País País País País País País País is País Vasco to to Vasco to ha ha 50
Yes, the addition of the oboe and piano accompaniment really set this song apart from Crimso's repertoire. I love the lyrics, Peter Sinfield the lyricist is now 80!
Lyrics: Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea Waves sweep the sand from my island. My sunsets fade. Field and glade wait only for rain Grain after grain love erodes my High weathered walls which fend off the tide Cradle the wind To my island. Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide Mournfully glide o'er my island. My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale Dissolves in the sun. Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes Violet skies Touch my island Touch me. Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'Neath heaven's sea. Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone Hungrily reach from my island. Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds Are strewn on my shore. Equal in love, bound in circles. Earth, stream and tree return to the sea Waves sweep sand from my island From me. Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'Neath heaven's sea.
I think he is truly a great poet in the best tradition of the English language, his perceptions, mood nuance and classical references are just spot on-and I hope that does not sound pretentious!

Very true
Such a beautiful song, no matter how many Decades you hear this it's always perfect

My favorite KC song. Probably my favorite song
I Talk To the Wind, Epitaph, and Islands are my three faves in order.
What a great song! So glad it was performed again. Favorite Crimson album, very unique. Influenced “chamber pop”
The best song of kc.
De fato, outra obra-prima deles.
Não tenho palavras pra descrever o quanto essas músicas me fazem esquecer de todos os meus problemas.
How I love this song
Agree, it's so beautiful, so lovely, so..... all
It's nice to finally be able to HEAR the lyrics! Great job by Jakko!
Lyrics:
Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
Waves sweep the sand from my island.
My sunsets fade.
Field and glade wait only for rain
Grain after grain love erodes my
High weathered walls which fend off the tide
Cradle the wind
To my island.
Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully glide o'er my island.
My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale
Dissolves in the sun.
Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes
Violet skies
Touch my island
Touch me.
Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neath heaven's sea.
Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone
Hungrily reach from my island.
Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds
Are strewn on my shore.
Equal in love, bound in circles.
Earth, stream and tree return to the sea
Waves sweep sand from my island
From me.
Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neath heaven's sea.
Close to crying.
Crimson Kingdom forevermore
The best of the best.
Algumas composições ficam prá eternidade.

Best version ever of this beautiful song!
Magnifici come sempre ...
Beautiful lyrics, wonderful interpretation and Jako superb! What more can I say? I am speechless!
놀라운 퍼포먼스...브라보...
Beautiful,
brilliant
Somebody should mention who wrote the words: Peter Sinfield. Islands proved to be the last King Crimson album for which Sinfield wrote lyrics.
I think he is truly a great poet in the best tradition of the English language, his perceptions, mood nuance and classical references are just spot on-and I hope that does not sound pretentious!
Wonderful.

Да....
Oldies from kc islands
Mellow yo.
This is the Only Song where Jakko's voice dont seem annoying or ugly...
Stop it.
That guy Jakko is a bad singer. Alas all King Crimson frontmen from seventies passed away.
You smoking crack? Ffs!
Stop this nonsense! Bad singer?
Beautiful song. Certainly Sinfield's least pretentious lyrics during his stint as songwriter.
Una delicia, de principio a fin, solo para escucharla se merece estar vivo...
