  • I TALK TO THE WIND
    (McDonald, Sinfield)
    Said the straight man to the late man
    Where have you been
    I've been here and I've been there
    And I've been in between.
    I talk to the wind
    My words are all carried away
    I talk to the wind
    The wind does not hear
    The wind cannot hear.
    I'm on the outside looking inside
    What do I see
    Much confusion, disillusion
    All around me.
    You don't possess me
    Don't impress me
    Just upset my mind
    Can't instruct me or conduct me
    Just use up my time.
    I talk to the wind
    My words are all carried away
    I talk to the wind
    The wind does not hear
    The wind cannot hear.

    • @guidomotshagen7541
      @guidomotshagen7541 3 года назад +65

      King Crimson perfectly fitted in with the psychedelic era, but they themselves were never part of that scene; actually they were rather bourgeois and "classical minded". Fripp himself cannot be called a rock- (or even pop-) guitarist, he plays it in a classical manner and I've never heard him play anything bluesy or something close to rock.
      He's very disciplined, but he's also a perfect example of "if it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing" (Duke Ellington).
      I was very proud when a professional guitarist publicly said that "Guido has a good blues coming on". I was 12 at the time, and I was rehearsing "Day Tripper" 😂😂😂. I learned from the best, but I still can only imitate Jimi. 😢😢😢

      To me. Greg was the best rock singer. He could sing softly, like he does in this beautiful track and then he could go to a powerful voice for any up-tempo track. Not many singers could do that. I'm was a big ELP fan and to see them so many times it was a pleasure to listen to Greg's voice, live.

    One thing I think does not get enough attention is the SOUND of Michael Giles' drumming. I don't mean WHAT he plays, but the roundness and fullness of every tone he produces. I'm a guitarist, but I listen to the drummers, because everything besides the voice is just a drum with a different father. I like the drummers that get a sound like you are standing in a dense forest and this sound just swells up through the trees. Thats Michael Giles to me. Other drummers that I think get a fantastic sound are Michael Shrieve (Santana), Chico Hamilton, and Shelly Manne, two jazz drummers I have been lucky enough to be mesmerized by live.

    Brano leggendario, come lo è Michael Giles, batterista prog inarrivabile, i suoi fraseggi ritmici sono unici, e unico è il suo stile, il rullante usato in questo modo si amalgama alla perfezione con il brano. Molti hanno tentato di imitarlo ma senza avere nessuna possibilità di uguagliarlo, lui usava la batteria come un pianista usa il suo pianoforte, con un tocco altamente tecnico, soave, delizioso. Non ci sarà mai a mio parere un altro Giles!

    Since no one ever commented here with a similar interpretation of the song how I do, I now leave my comment.
    I'm a 22 y/o woman with ADHD and this is a great way of showing how people like us live and breathe. I'm an inattentive type and I always space out into a whole new dimension of reality.
    I've noticed that I use a unique coping mechanism for myself. Since I also have trouble expressing my thoughts and emotions, venting to another person never helped me. They either misunderstood me, or don't understand me at all.
    I personally cope with things by venting to my thoughts. I let loose when I daydream and I feel comforted by it. (Mostly when I ride the bus or train, I love to escape into my very own dimension of reality)
    "I talk to the wind, my words are all carried away" is what expresses this the best I think.
    And when people would ask me how I always manage to keep a good mood, I think to myself "If they only knew" :')
    It's almost like the like
    Said the straight man to the late man "where have you been"
    "I've been here and I've been there and I've been in between"
    This "between" is my dimension of reality, my escape.
    Is there a person who by mere coincidence has a psychologist kinda title? I'm suspecting myself to be autistic since I catch myself having autistic tendencies. Does, what I said above, give you a clue? It would really help me if someone could answer this question.

I actually found someONE who gets me. She is my world. Just want you to know that there is someone out there who needs you and wants to love you. She knows when to back off if need be, and when to pull me in off the ledge. You have expressed yourself so perfectly, that in itself is loveable.

    Gosh - this is music. I am so thankful I was born in 1963 and found this in 1973 - I am so thankful for this true, creative and unique music. There is no time associated with the greatness of this album.

    I listened to this vinyl album, in 1969, when I was a senior in high school. I took it with me (along with many others), to my freshman dorm (to decorate my wall, in my room), at the University of Pennsylvania, in the fall of 1970. Along the way, I've owned, or listened to, many King Crimson albums since. I particularly enjoyed one of their live concerts, at some beat-up old theater, in Asbury Park, in 1973, with Wetton, Bruford, Fripp, and 2 others, from which another vinyl was made, of their live performance. The song "Exiles" was really good in that concert, and on that recording of it (and, at one point, I thought I heard myself, yelling in the background, in the audience--ha ha ha ha ha). They had so many good songs, and so much good work, over the years. This early use of the mellotron, in this, their first album, was stunning, at the time. And of course, who is singing this song? None other than Greg Lake, himself, of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, a group he was in, that was formed about a year later--and was even more spectacular and well-known than King Crimson. But, I loved King Crimson, just as much. They were good, and an epitomy, of our music, in the late 1960's, and early 1970's...
