I am a 68 year old paraplegic, paralyzed doing what I loved the most, skiing. Music has always been a huge part of my life, especially extended works. Terrapin Station, Mountain Jam, King Crimson, Tubular Bells, too many to list. Now I listen with an entirely different perspective. My mind dissolves into the magic I'm listening to and it brings me back to a time when entering adulthood, anything was possible with your future life. No regrets with where I have arrived. The one constant throughout has been music. The stories of loved ones lost really touched me. I grieve your loss and wish you comfort, knowing your love of music helps you through heartbreaking times. Love and peace to all of you.
I went nearly completely paralyzed for a while from a disc herniation in my spine, and no one did anything. Felt like surgery without anesthesia. Ended up going 10 days without food, used a cane to drive from ER to ER from doc to doc, and people laughed at me while I begged for help. Idiot. Was left partially paralyzed, but can still walk, and no one cares. Wish I could go to the Mayo clinic before another disc herniates and I starve to death in a puddle of bodily fluids in a ditch like last time.
It's all fantastic. The dynamics are unprecedented in rock. And yes, Mr Lake's vocals are sublime, as they would continue to be for so many years and so many recordings.
Almost 50 years ago, I was in a record store (yes, they only had vinyls), flipping through albums, when I saw this cover. I had a hunch that, with a cover like this, the music had to be something else. And it was. One of the best hunches I ever had.
At the ripe ol age of 41 just now discovering this band makes me realize that you’re literally never too old to have new-old music experiences. This is beautiful music! Instant fan ❤
@@nitrobladezxl2994 YES I AM! It appears that no matter how much I tear apart the past. It still manages to wriggle up like a worm from under a rock. This is suprising.
As I read some of the comments here they certainly made me relate. I am now 73 years old, a lifelong guitarist and musician. Music was always the center of my universe since I was about 4 years old and my sister would bring home the old 45 RPM records. She would have me sit with her while we listened to this new kind of music called Rock and Roll. I played in my bands since age 14 and was considered a Hippie. I first heard King Crimson, and Greg Lake immediately when they released this incredible and awesome piece of work. I still have it in my old vinyl collection. I taught my eldest son to play guitar when he was 12 years old. He went on to become a rather famous guitarist and musician. His first group signed with Island Records in 2002, MTV video in the top 20, toured all over the US and Canada...Then he formed his own band, wrote all the songs, played guitar and sang. He named this group Jade Lemons and the Crimson Lust! So the legacy continues. Jade died April 6th 2016. My heart is broken forever, but he lives on in his music. They all do.
Great to know Hope u don't encounter a strange pink haired guy talking to objects . I heard he can _________ . Its really _______ to be around crimson King
My grown kids disagree with me on any number of things, but they're united in awe of the music I introduced them to when they were little. I've still got the first release of this album on vinyl, and have always had killer sound systems...
I cannot understand how the hell I've lived 50 years without hearing of this band? I'm having a complete discovery of King Crimson in all is iterations.... I stayed up until midnight last night, Christmas, listening to this entire album, and every live version I could find of this song. My Christmas present!
Don't feel too bad, I also waited 50 years to hear this whilst watching the film Children of Men. I can't believe my mother didn't own this album, her record collection was extensive yet I never recall this being played. Better late than never!
i first heard the name in 2017 i think, but you couldn't really find them on youtube then. i first heard 21st Century Schizoid man in 2020 and was completely blown away by it.
That makes 2 of us! I was watching VOIR on Netflix and the chorus was used in just a small part..I came straight to you tube! 🤟Rock on...man I miss the 70's💜✌🌈🌛🌍
Indeed. They were always a tad edgy about RUclips and other platforms. However, when my local pub's jukebox included this album and others, you better believe I was playing them. :-)
The reality: Island-Atlantic owned the rights to these early albums. Fripp probably had to buy the rights back from them. People are way too quick to put the blame on the artists, but the standard for signing on a record label, was to give the rights to their songs to the company. You had to hold out, and insist on retaining the rights, like Ray Charles did. But most bands didn't, they were just excited to get a record deal, and would do whatever, not knowing until later how they had been screwed.
The decay of trusted institutions, isolation, despair, and alienation, all of it against the backdrop of the Vietnam war. Sinfield loved (and still does) metaphors. Cheers!

В далёком Советском Союзе мы передавали запись этого диска, как сокровище. Нам было по 14-15 лет. С тех пор я переслушал кучу музыки - от губной гармошки до симфонических оркестров и крутых исполнителей. Но этот диск так и остаётся шедевром.
What blows me away the most is that the fact this song/album was made in *1969* . It feels so timeless and modern comparing to other songs in the late 60’s. Imo, this is truly one of the best albums ever.
@@user-sf4fy8bq1h Considering dark side of the moon wouldn’t come out until half a decade later, this is pretty innovative for its time, which is what the guy is trying to say

I also saw many UFOs on a regular basis flying over my home in Roseville next to Oakmont high School. Not kidding.@@Firemanrfdny
Yeah so glad the full album's back up again, for how long I don't know but I'm hopeful. I really don't know why they withheld half of the album from yt while everything else was there
King Crimson fans: 45% Jojo's bizarre adventure fans: 45% The rest of the 10% is cause rusty venture said this album would turn you into a evil super scientist
@@firetarrasque4667 it's a reference to the show the Venture bros. The dad had listened to prog rock that made him become a scientist and he said listening to court of the crimson king too early would turn his son evil. Its a good show
I love king Crimson, especially this song. I remember using it for a D&D inspiration, the purple piper was a maddened bard, the black queen an evil necromancer, the crimson king a violent tyrant, the Gardener an execution, the patterned juggler juggled skulls and the yellow jester a puppeteer using creepy marionettes. It is one of my favourite songs, and the faces on the players when it clicked were gold
It miiiight be inspiring something in my D&D campaign which I miiight be scripting right now while listening to this. Going a totally different route to things than you did here, though I do like it!
King Crimson reminds of my Dad. He used to play all the best progressive music back in the day. Oh where has the creativity gone. He really knew his music. I'm 60 now and my Dad passed a couple years ago. This song brings back the best memories. Thanks Dad, and thanks King Crimson.
My earliest memory is this album artwork and music. My mom would get concerned as I stared at the album cover and listen to it over and over. This was around 1976 I was 4
Imagine you're in your 20's and make an album even 50 years after people are still gonna think was quite ahead of its time. That's what King Crimson did.
It's almost too much to wrap your head around, isn't it? This song is so incredible that I barely have the words. The way it slows down and speeds up just adds to its immense majesty. And the lyrics are sensational. Wow, what a band!
Greg Lake in this band and later ELP, was simply the voice of prog rock. A baritone voice that unexpectedly came out of an innocent looking face. His voice multi tracked in the Court of the Crimson King and later Lucky Man are timeless.
When I was a 15 year old kid, I would sleep with a radio on. One night I woke up to the sound of this song playing…. And it was so amazing, I thought to myself, who and what is that. I bought the album, and the rest is history. You have no idea, the mystical, magical event that it was to me.
I do know, i found king crimson and YES in a similar fashion at a similar age, there is nothing more amazing and beautiful. Im 50 now when i close my eyes for the last time on this earth i hope they open again in the court of the crimson king.
i am amazed at how unique this song is.they basically build a dark fantasy world in a 10 minute song better than most series can do in 100 episodes. The ambience, the lyrics and the dark yet slightly heavenly choir really makes this one of my favourite songs. All jojo memes aside araki has great taste and i am greatful to him for bringing my attention to old western music.
@@June28July the main villain in pt5s ability is literally named [King Crimson] and this song could also have inspired structure of a criminal organisation in pt5
@@fanatomic24 no, the stand is called King Crimson. And saying it does better than most shows is a bit of a stretch. This song's amazing but be reasonable
Im a 32 yr old black man who grew up on hip hop and r&b.... but I heard this on one of my favorite films "Children Of Men" and had to hear it in full. Wow! It made me think of every person I've ever met for some reason dude. I was locked in a transe. Crazy. Love this shit here man
Good music crosses all boundaries. Culture, race, nationality, language, it doesn't matter. I listen to tons of funk and soul music. We are all part of a huge family united by this wonderful music.
I'm now 65 but I was once a long blond haired, cheese cloth wearing, stoned teenager sitting around with my stoned friends listening to this. I'm right back there now.
Geez, you reminded me of sitting on an oriental rug( on the floor) with a bunch of "heads" passing Mowi around my Living room coffee table a spool from the electric company, King Crimson LOUD those were the days .
Epitaph is a thing where the person who uses "King crimson" which is a name off this band obviously and he has a thing called epitaph and it can predict the future
Timeless songs!! As far as I can remember, "The Court Of The Crimson King", "Epitaph" and "I talk to the wind" were the first songs I heard from King Crimson. back in '69. That makes 53 yrs ago. Incredibly amazing, powerful, and beautiful songs!!
When I first listened to this song I had a massive impression of how similar it sounds to Ummagumma's opening songs, live execution of A Saucerful of Secrets. Year checks out. Great songs and awesome music
I don't know if you're making a jojo reference or it was just a coincedence for you to say "Timeless" and mention "King Crimson" and "Epitaph" in one sentence
There is just something hauntingly beautiful about this piece. The tune the lyrics and of course the use of the Mellowtron. Like the Moody Blues “Tuesday Afternoon” gives me a similar feeling.
It was 1977 when i first met this dude in West Virginia at a glass plant..My neighbor said that I had to meet him because he was into music like i was..So began my thirty year epic journey of making music with a little band called Acrylic Prism..I mention this because we both had a love for King Crimson and Robert Fripp..Kevin just recently passed at the age of 63. He was the only constant through the bands history..I guess that when there was music to be played..Acrylic Prism would appear to play it .Rest in peace my friend..
Hey man that's a really cool story. I made a quick search on RUclips and Google, couldn't found anything about your band. Would or could you share any of your music on the internet. That would really lit.
@@ar8338 would love to but I have very little of it and i played on it..Besides that I Don t have the means to share it because all That I have is a small phone and tablet.

@@ar8338 Unfortunately..Anubis Spire has lost yet another member. Between us and them we are dropping at an alarming rate in the obscure music scene. Take care..
I was 16 to 17 yrs old when I first heard King Crimson. Its a lost time in my life, that music kind of brings me back to those days. A confusing time being a teen ager worried about going to Viet Nam, and all the young people at the time thinking they could change the world. Thanks for the memories.
King Crimson being named after this song and the band just fits so well. I feel so many emotions just by listening to this that I can’t even explain them. first a fan of Kingo Crimson and now a fan of King Crimson. Araki did a great job on naming stands, and I thank him for introducing me to music I would’ve never heard if I hadn’t watched JoJo.
@@GAarcher bruh, theres so many annoying jojo fans in the comments, hes not the only one lol. im a fan too, but jesus fucking christ, they are hella annoying
The great plague of zoomers if i say so myself. But yeah, he did have a good taste, shine on you CRAZY DIAMOND, this masterpiece, echoes, red hot chili peppers etc. Great times for music
Greg Lake had one of the best singing voices and was a great bassist and guitar player. I don't think he got enough praise for this. He had a fair amount of work to do in this band and ELP.
Lol! When ELP's "Pictures at an Exhibition" was released, I played it all the time and very, very loud and one day I said to my dad, "Isn't it incredible" and he said, "Yes dear, I've heard it before" and I said "You have" and he said "it's an adaption of Russian composer Mussorgsky's - Pictures at an Exhibition" and I said "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"😮 Lol! It's still great, I love it!🎵I still have the album along w/this one (KC).
Saw Cal jam as well. Some of the greatest British Rock bands played there. ELP, Sabbath, Purple, as well as American bands like The Eagles and such. I must say that British Rockers from the 70’s BLEW AWAY American Rock bands. A different level of standard and excellence.
Listening to some delicious prog can make a man hungry. After this I'm going to Burger KIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGIIIINNNGGGGIINNNGGG AAAAAAHHHH AAHH AHHHHH
I know nothing about this band, this album, this song. I randomly clicked on it and found something rivalling the greatness of pink Floyd and this is amazing. Weirdly nostalgic and haunting, it has a strange aura but I love it.
My dad loved King Crimson and had this album. I remember him playing it over and over in a small house in Cambridge, Massachusetts over 50 years ago just like it was yesterday. I remember every nuance and lyric. I miss you dad. ❤
music is a powerful force! my dad was playing elton johns yellow brick road album in the early 80s one day and i’ll never forget watching him sit cross legged in front of his hi-fi enjoying the music.
I got this album in my home town in 1980. Unfortunately it was without a cover. Only LP. Though it wasn't new it impressed me and my friends immensly. Someone told such legend about that band-King Crimson-"They could record only one album and died in the air crash". That's why the song" Epitaph" was taken by us as a farewell to the dead musicians. Later we knew the truth.
I recall my first concert in 1972 in KCMO. I was only a freshman in highschool. It was ELP and I was held in absolute awe by Greg Lake. Then I discovered King Crimson and I immediately purchased this vinyl, and listened to this song, which I still do at 68yrs of age. An absolute masterpiece! RIP Greg. Your talent is timeless.
Rest in peace, Ian McDonald. Thank you for this masterpiece and a few others, written so early in your life (often with lyrics by Peter Sinfield). Great arranger, keyboard player, flautist, saxophonist, guitar player, singer... What a talent !
@@christopheraliaga-kelly6254 : I know this .. except it's not "Philip", it is Peter Sinfield who wrote the lyrics, like many for KC and ELP - and you don't disappoint me. I should have said "composed" because I was thinking mainly about the music - which is what matters first.
@@alltimegamerpro2538 A guy With A Dead Channel here, the joke here is that children commonly scream whenever injected. In popular meme culture it is common to add a screaming effect after the format, hence implying that the singer is like a child being injected with a needle, however in this case it is impossible to add an image or clip without ruining the joke, therefore in memes on youtube timestamps are the preferred method of replacing the left out images and are arguably better as you will not be able to predict what will come next. N this case the timestamp implies that the singer in which sings the lyrics to this song is a child being injected with a needle and screaming with agony and fear at the thought of it. A guy With A Dead Channel out.
Peter Townshend described this great album as "an uncanny masterpiece". More than 50 years have passed and it is still a unique gem of the progressive rock genre.
If you want to learn about how orchestral structure and changing time signatures can be used in rock music this is a complete study guide in album form!!!! A masterpiece!!
their whole genre is interesting, it’s not even really rock, it’s kinda more like experimental jazz. but yea i get what you mean, the way this entire album was composed was nothing more than a work of magic
While I did find this song because of JoJo, I think it's a masterclass in ambience. It creates a feeling of dread that's incredibly hard to recreate, but it doesn't succumb to dissonance to achieve that. It's a beautiful piece which brings to mind feelings of grimdark fantasy.
It's literally the only reason why the dark tower exists, this song is pure lovecraftian horror the crimson king is an eregore a dark thought dreamt one day. A being of pure malice and agony, we've been in his court a long time and there is no way out. I also love how childish this song is its like a lullaby. It's so insulting to the listener but that's like my favorite thing about the song. Sorry I don't mean to dump all this on you but I truly believe this is one of the greatest songs ever written. I would honestly love if he was used in a more serious man very effective villain, don't get me wrong I love him in Jojo buy he is but a man, the real crimson king is a horrid manifestation. If we were to make an arc out of this album the only people capable of fighting against him would be the schizoid man and the moon child but that's like some really nerdy shit that I don't think anyone would take seriously lmao
@@sad-death I missed this entirely, I'm not really into KC but this song is legendary for prog rock itself and the whole movement, like Genesis and Yes, the earliest British prog, industrial was born through these songs, and ppl didn't even have categories defined yet for these sounds, so they broke them down in chord structures, beats, and instruments, ppl are so stupid with their boxing in and labeling of things, so they have to categorize everything, this album was known to be the most confusing for those types of people, kind of like mr bungle came out of no where, even early rap music was the same, they defied defining. So reading your comment, and others finding this material by JoJo and other quotes in the comments tells me this generation gets it, although I never heard of JoJo 😂
I intentionally refrain from listening to this for months so that when I do hear it, it's fresh and feels like a special occasion. This song does something to me.
Yeah, I listened to it a lot around 6 moths ago so I got tired of it, but listening to it again it's like coming back home knowing there's a deliciuos meal waiting for you
Somewhat like Dark Side Of The Moon, this album was such a masterpiece that Crimson was doomed to having all of their subsequent efforts suffer by comparison to it. To have come out of the starting gate with this monster is just remarkable.
“Lullabies in an ancient tongue…” what an image- they blew my mind…then and now. Me too 18 and now 65 - I am huge fan. Wonderful! Brings back many memories…takes you right back…
So powerful in 69 still mesmerizing in 2023 Thanks Greg Lake for your powerful voice and guitar and King Crimson and to hear it live simply breathtaking.😮
I was 14 year old my best friend dad knew I was into genesis told us to come into the living room he wanted me to hear a song I can never thank him enough for getting me started on King Crimson RIP fine sir
My dad was a big listener of King Crimson many moons ago before he left earth in 1980 but tunes like this connect him to me with his timeless tunes he groved to while painting his portraits... why i love music, its a time machine, takes you to a time, place and feeling... cheers all
Seventy years old now. Bought this album with my pay from my paper-round in 1969. Amazing then and amazing now....not aged at all, unlike yours truly! I regard myself as the luckiest generation when it comes to iconic music. A teenager in the 60s when everything was innovative; most since has been derivative (but some pretty good, nevertheless!). I was blessed to be born when I was and still going strong, with this sort of quality available to play and play and play.
i was 17 when I was in Hyde Park and saw and heard them for the first time live. They were great, What you said about the time and the music is so true.
60's were a terrible decade of Rock music. Beatles, Kinks and Stones aside. The prog rock and folk rock of the sixties was just terrible. Truly the worst decade of music for the twentieth century. But I get it, doesnt matter how bad it is, if you grew up with it, its going to be your jam.
My older brother had this lp, I was around 11 the first time I heard it. It was great then like it is today at 65. Such a beautiful song. It was great having an older brother that grew up in the 60s. I was exposed to such awesome music and then my music of the 70s. What a great time it was to grow up in.
Dans le même cas mais j’avais 14 ans et mon frère avait acheté le vinyl ; je regarde la pochette avec tellement de tendresse pour ces merveilleux souvenirs 🙏
I heard King Crimson for the first time when I was 15 years old. We passed each other a joint and were well stoned and this music was simply the greatest! Today I'm 70 and I still love it and will forever
Been Scrolling down for a while now still haven’t found the lyrics yet so here you go. The rusted chains of prison moons Are shattered by the sun I walk a road, horizons change The tournament's begun The purple piper plays his tune The choir softly sing Three lullabies in an ancient tongue For the court of the crimson king The keeper of the city keys Put shutters on the dreams I wait outside the pilgrim's door With insufficient schemes The black queen chants The funeral march The cracked brass bells will ring To summon back the fire witch To the court of the crimson king The gardener plants an evergreen Whilst trampling on a flower I chase the wind of a prism ship To taste the sweet and sour The pattern juggler lifts his hand The orchestra begin As slowly turns the grinding wheel In the court of the crimson king On soft gray mornings widows cry The wise men share a joke I run to grasp divining signs To satisfy the hoax The yellow jester does not play But gentle pulls the strings And smiles as the puppets dance In the court of the crimson king
@@tripedal2063 Can you at least try to keep the JoJo speak relegated to comments related to it? Its got to be annoying for many people who don't care for it
I could listen to this song *forever.* And ever. And ever. *Experiencing* every possibility that life has to offer. It’s like a soft *requiem* that will play gently in the back of my mind for the *foreseeable future.*
The rusted chains of prison moons Are shattered by the sun I walk a road, horizons change The tournament's begun The purple piper plays his tune The choir softly sing Three lullabies in an ancient tongue For the court of the Crimson King The keeper of the city keys Put shutters on the dreams I wait outside the pilgrims' door With insufficient schemes The black queen chants the funeral march The cracked brass bells will ring To summon back the fire witch To the court of the Crimson King The gardener plants an evergreen Whilst trampling on a flower I chase the wind of a prism ship To taste the sweet and sour The pattern juggler lifts his hand The orchestra begin As slowly turns the grinding wheel In the court of the Crimson King On soft gray mornings widows cry The wise men share a joke I run to grasp divining signs To satisfy the hoax The yellow jester does not play But gently pulls the strings And smiles as the puppets dance In the court of the Crimson King

Hey, I hope you have been doing well these last seven days! Stay strong.
I went nearly completely paralyzed for a while from a disc herniation in my spine, and no one did anything. Felt like surgery without anesthesia. Ended up going 10 days without food, used a cane to drive from ER to ER from doc to doc, and people laughed at me while I begged for help. Idiot.

As I read some of the comments here they
certainly made me relate. I am now 73 years old, a lifelong guitarist and musician. Music was always the center of my universe since I was about 4 years old and my sister would bring home the old 45 RPM records. She would have me sit with her while we listened to this new kind of music called Rock and Roll.
I played in my bands since age 14 and was considered a Hippie. I first heard King Crimson, and Greg Lake immediately when they released this incredible and awesome piece of work. I still have it in my old vinyl collection. I taught my eldest son to play guitar when he was 12 years old. He went on to become a rather famous guitarist and musician. His first group signed with Island Records in 2002, MTV video in the top 20, toured all over the US and Canada...Then he formed his own band, wrote all the songs, played guitar and sang. He named this group Jade Lemons and the Crimson Lust! So the legacy continues. Jade died April 6th 2016. My heart is broken forever, but he lives on in his music. They all do.
Touching story, sorry about your loss.

My grown kids disagree with me on any number of things, but they're united in awe of the music I introduced them to when they were little. I've still got the first release of this album on vinyl, and have always had killer sound systems...
I cannot understand how the hell I've lived 50 years without hearing of this band? I'm having a complete discovery of King Crimson in all is iterations.... I stayed up until midnight last night, Christmas, listening to this entire album, and every live version I could find of this song. My Christmas present!

Don't feel too bad, I also waited 50 years to hear this whilst watching the film Children of Men. I can't believe my mother didn't own this album, her record collection was extensive yet I never recall this being played. Better late than never!

All it took was a world wide pandemic to get Fripp to release these songs.
The reality: Island-Atlantic owned the rights to these early albums. Fripp probably had to buy the rights back from them. People are way too quick to put the blame on the artists, but the standard for signing on a record label, was to give the rights to their songs to the company. You had to hold out, and insist on retaining the rights, like Ray Charles did. But most bands didn't, they were just excited to get a record deal, and would do whatever, not knowing until later how they had been screwed.
The decay of trusted institutions, isolation, despair, and alienation, all of it against the backdrop of the Vietnam war. Sinfield loved (and still does) metaphors. Cheers!
Release? It's been always available! Just had to buy a decent copy.

N this case the timestamp implies that the singer in which sings the lyrics to this song is a child being injected with a needle and screaming with agony and fear at the thought of it. A guy With A Dead Channel out.
Comfortably numb has a similar moment, but they even announce it ("just a little pin prick").
The first thing that came from my mind is Risotto
I’m going on 70yrs & Still play this on my stereo 👍

Peter Townshend described this great album as "an uncanny masterpiece". More than 50 years have passed and it is still a unique gem of the progressive rock genre.
If you want to learn about how orchestral structure and changing time signatures can be used in rock music this is a complete study guide in album form!!!! A masterpiece!!
their whole genre is interesting, it’s not even really rock, it’s kinda more like experimental jazz. but yea i get what you mean, the way this entire album was composed was nothing more than a work of magic
Try overture 1812 best classical rock
Beauty of prog rock :')
Araki has the best taste in music
I fucking wish he didn't
@@Toe_Merchant I understand, JoJo fans can be annoying as fuck but you'll get used to it
@@Toe_Merchant in my opinion your opinion sucks
@@Toe_Merchant I’m glad he did :)
I'm glad he did... otherwise, I wouldn't be here, and it is a great song.
Blew my mind in my 20’s- still doing it at 80- Fab guys- classic- Respect
While I did find this song because of JoJo, I think it's a masterclass in ambience. It creates a feeling of dread that's incredibly hard to recreate, but it doesn't succumb to dissonance to achieve that. It's a beautiful piece which brings to mind feelings of grimdark fantasy.
It's literally the only reason why the dark tower exists, this song is pure lovecraftian horror the crimson king is an eregore a dark thought dreamt one day. A being of pure malice and agony, we've been in his court a long time and there is no way out. I also love how childish this song is its like a lullaby. It's so insulting to the listener but that's like my favorite thing about the song. Sorry I don't mean to dump all this on you but I truly believe this is one of the greatest songs ever written. I would honestly love if he was used in a more serious man very effective villain, don't get me wrong I love him in Jojo buy he is but a man, the real crimson king is a horrid manifestation. If we were to make an arc out of this album the only people capable of fighting against him would be the schizoid man and the moon child but that's like some really nerdy shit that I don't think anyone would take seriously lmao
@@sad-death I missed this entirely, I'm not really into KC but this song is legendary for prog rock itself and the whole movement, like Genesis and Yes, the earliest British prog, industrial was born through these songs, and ppl didn't even have categories defined yet for these sounds, so they broke them down in chord structures, beats, and instruments, ppl are so stupid with their boxing in and labeling of things, so they have to categorize everything, this album was known to be the most confusing for those types of people, kind of like mr bungle came out of no where, even early rap music was the same, they defied defining. So reading your comment, and others finding this material by JoJo and other quotes in the comments tells me this generation gets it, although I never heard of JoJo 😂
This is a test
@@rencecs6720 don't you agree?
JJBA is just Akari's favorite bands/albums list
I intentionally refrain from listening to this for months so that when I do hear it, it's fresh and feels like a special occasion. This song does something to me.
Yeah, I listened to it a lot around 6 moths ago so I got tired of it, but listening to it again it's like coming back home knowing there's a deliciuos meal waiting for you
This album should be in the top 10 of the best albums in history
It's in my top 10 for sure
It's ranked #3 on rateyourmusic
Somewhat like Dark Side Of The Moon, this album was such a masterpiece that Crimson was doomed to having all of their subsequent efforts suffer by comparison to it. To have come out of the starting gate with this monster is just remarkable.
Then Came E L P MINDBLOWING AS WELL AS P G GENESIS AND P FLOYD ARE THE BEST EVER NO ONE HAS COME CLOSE THANKS U K 🇨🇱🇬🇧😘
Anglagard 1992 hibris same story
The fact that this is their DEBUT album is mind-blowing. How do you start like THIS? Amazing...
You might be wrong, I was always a bigger fan of the older stuff but in the wake of poseidon and red are by no means worse
“Lullabies in an ancient tongue…” what an image- they blew my mind…then and now. Me too 18 and now 65 - I am huge fan. Wonderful! Brings back many memories…takes you right back…
This song doesn't slap, it feels like a punch through the stomach.
Most subtle jojoke I’ve ever heard
This is like those moody blues
A donut, if you will
damn how i wish to go back in time like a video
Maybe a chop thru the heart, too.
I haven't heard this in 40 years. I'm so happy that the quality of pot has finally caught up with the music of my youth.
U still alive?
So powerful in 69 still mesmerizing in 2023 Thanks Greg Lake for your powerful voice and guitar and King Crimson and to hear it live simply breathtaking.😮
Agreed . Its almost like it "skipped" time
I was 14 year old my best friend dad knew I was into genesis told us to come into the living room he wanted me to hear a song
I can never thank him enough for getting me started on King Crimson
RIP fine sir
I love the Greg’s vocals in this song, makes me crazy, his vocals came from another world... R.I.P.

Actually, they come from Pete Sinfield..
@@fluentpiffle no ._.
@@bol15z57 Pete Sinfield is a wonderful poet. The first album is such a classic because of him as much as anyone else involved..
@@fluentpiffle yes, but he isn’t singing
Just incredible. I saw King Crimson in 1974 with Ten Years After and Robin Trower. Incredible show!
That's a great lineup! It obviously is a great memory.
Wow!
@Marsha Rupe : tree legend's ,one show, you lucky lady
What a lineup!
You saw more than me
I'm 70 now. I had this album back in the 70's. Soooo good.
Comme moi, j' ai encore tous les albums 33t de ma jeunesse !
Enregistrés pour mes enfants !
Think I first heard it in 1972
Same for me.
my sister bought this on LP in the early 70s, I heard it at around 14 or 15. Great album.
78 have the boxed set of cds.
This song feels like a Golden Experience to listen to

Gold Experience is actually a band

80% cause of Jojo fans
10% cause of King Crimson fans
10% cause something to do with DGM’s business practices and philosophy or something
@@tipsyviewer1495 i don't think he minds jojo fans that much, he said nothing about them ever since that one meme repost

I love Greg Lake vocals. His singing voice after a fierce performance is lyrical and memorable.
cant agree more with this
I Lovejohnwettonvocals🥰'hissingingvoiceafterafierceperformanceisbeautifulbestpower&writer👏🙌😃🤘👌‼️
My dad was a big listener of King Crimson many moons ago before he left earth in 1980 but tunes like this connect him to me with his timeless tunes he groved to while painting his portraits... why i love music, its a time machine, takes you to a time, place and feeling... cheers all
Seventy years old now. Bought this album with my pay from my paper-round in 1969. Amazing then and amazing now....not aged at all, unlike yours truly! I regard myself as the luckiest generation when it comes to iconic music. A teenager in the 60s when everything was innovative; most since has been derivative (but some pretty good, nevertheless!). I was blessed to be born when I was and still going strong, with this sort of quality available to play and play and play.
I’m also 70. I was lucky to have an older brother who turned me on to all the great music.
zappa has a cool explanation of why that is, check it out it’s called zappos explains decline of music industry
i was 17 when I was in Hyde Park and saw and heard them for the first time live. They were great, What you said about the time and the music is so true.
@@njwithy 1957 here ..nothing better ^60's ..70"s
60's were a terrible decade of Rock music. Beatles, Kinks and Stones aside. The prog rock and folk rock of the sixties was just terrible. Truly the worst decade of music for the twentieth century. But I get it, doesnt matter how bad it is, if you grew up with it, its going to be your jam.
My older brother had this lp, I was around 11 the first time I heard it. It was great then like it is today at 65.
Such a beautiful song. It was great having an older brother that grew up in the 60s. I was exposed to such awesome music and then my music of the 70s. What a great time it was to grow up in.
Dans le même cas mais j’avais 14 ans et mon frère avait acheté le vinyl ; je regarde la pochette avec tellement de tendresse pour ces merveilleux souvenirs 🙏
Thank you guys!!!!! They ain’t playing King Crimson on the radio, gotta make sure the young ones have access so they can go to the shows.
They won't get it.
@@salchaos get what?
Which shows? It's ALL closed and no massive shows are allowed!
They play 21st Century Schizoid Man occasionally on the radio but that's it, though.
I heard King Crimson for the first time when I was 15 years old. We passed each other a joint and were well stoned and this music was simply the greatest! Today I'm 70 and I still love it and will forever
Been Scrolling down for a while now still haven’t found the lyrics yet so here you go.
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the court of the crimson king
The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
With insufficient schemes
The black queen chants
The funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king
The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower
I chase the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
The orchestra begin
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the court of the crimson king
On soft gray mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax
The yellow jester does not play
But gentle pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson king
Thank you
The words are pure poetry on their own, with the music accompaniment, sheer perfection.
Thank you, Sir. The words are perfect…
It is a timeless work of art and have loved it ever since it was released. RIP Greg Lake.
Hehehe..timeless...KING CRIMSON'S ABILITY, ERADICATING TIME
