Lyrics:
There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind
Perhaps there's a thing or two
I think of lying in bed
I shouldn't have said
But there it is
You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning
Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all
You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning
Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.
Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.
The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.

Robin trower, Elton John , Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The doors, Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens , Jim Croce Kansas , Peter Frampton, Steve Miller, Thin Lizzy, Rush, Mamas & the papas, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones it just goes on and on. No other generation in our lifetime will be able to experience that many master artists in a 60 year span.

[@bluemoon-20]

If ever there was a song that is truly timeless... Way back when, I was driving back to college in the winter. I had smoked a joint and soon found myself heading into a snowstorm; this song came on the radio. The entire experience was surreal. The song forever reminds me of winter and falling snow.

[@rocketrudolf3854]

True skilled and talented band.

[@bluemoon-20]

@rocketrudolf3854 So true. Greg Lake had so much success as a singer, songwriter and guitarist with King Crimson, ELP and solo. Was so shocked when Greg and Keith passed away in the same year.

[@claudettenicholson5183]

@bluemoon-20. Just a wonderful description of that era.☄️💥🌙

[@bluemoon-20]

@claudettenicholson5183 Thanks. I know that era gets a lot of criticism for some of its music and fashion (polyester suits anyone?), but I truly believe the decade of the 1970s, especially the early part, produced the greatest, most inspired music in rock history. From the Beginning is a perfect example.

[@claudettenicholson5183]

@bluemoon_20. Amen🍄

[@mdb8044]

One of the "irreplaceable" songs of my old past, when everything was more authentic.

[@SonyaSteele-ud1zd]

I sang along with this song back then, and now, at 66 I sing it in a band trying to do it justice

[@kb1996]

Emerson Lake Palmer probably one of the most underrated bands of the 1970s. Not even in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. But yet listen to this music and hear for yourselves. Musicians extraordinaire!! They take you places...❤

My absolute favorite song

[@user-qr6hc6gb4u]

👍

[@yarmanriver]

A song of forgiveness and aceptance inner and outer, sitting alone on a pacific northwest coast sunset. "Whatever was done is done" like when the levee breaks "Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good". Because in the end the only forgiveness that matters is the forgiveness that you give and accept is to yourself.

[@SergiusLigurAugustus]

Greg Lake Beautiful Human Being - He started so very young playing guitar, composing songs and his voice - lastly not least. He fluctuated on and off with a timeless band King Crimson who desperately needed him but he chose to keep his focus on his two friends Emerson and Palmer.
