Available Now: bit.ly/3VodrLB
Lyrics:
I lost my head, it was not easy
Unknown, unread, it wasn't easy
And each day, each night
Wasn't wrong, nor right
I can't remember what I said
I lost my head
What will I feel maybe tomorrow
But time not real, hours I can borrow
So until for now, as long as how
I can't remember what I said
I lost my head
I lost my head, forget what I said
What's the use to try to deny it
I didn't think it would ever happen again
Wondering why, once bitten, twice shy
Never thought again would I try it
And even though maybe soon
It would end, wanting to stop
But had to go on
Give a little part of my person
And don't reflect
Don't remember what I said
I was afraid and I stayed away
Making sure of my independence
Isn't it true
That I lost my head
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything
Showed my face, just forgetting myself
I lost my head
2. Everything's true, but everything lies
It's so hard to try to explain it
It doesn't matter it happened anyway
And for the time while someone is mine
I'll go on won't try to contain it
Though never sure it could finish anyday
I lost my head
So glad that I made
Right or wrong, I made the decision
To take my chances
Give out something of me
How will I feel tomorrow?
Not real trying to avoid a collision
I lost my head
But today I can see
Took my time and I didn't rush into anything
Showed my face, just forgetting myself
I lost my head

I'm 70 years old. Having been a recording engineer for most of my life, I can't say enough about Steven Wilson's outstanding mixes. Thank you so much Steven for updating these tracks by enhancing the clarity and detail without messing up the vibe with useless effects. It's so wonderful listening to these songs again through your thoughtful genius. It's like looking at a treasured old master's painting that's been lovingly restored. You are most awesome!! Bravo Gentle Giant!!

[@1ouncebird]

Every time I am off doing other things, engaged in other daily life events and then I come upon a song and video footage like this of Gentle Giant in their glory it just smacks me upside of my head how absolutely amazing this band was and what a privilege it was to see them in concert and listen to their incredible music for all of these years. They were/are mind blowing.

[@davidabrinton]

Absolutely! I was fortunate to see them 3 times as the back-up band for Jethro Tull in the early 70's. Some of my best memories, and it's good to know there are others out there who share such memories. I have never run into anybody who has even heard of GG. Sad.

[@wellingtonmontesanto8621]

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

​@@davidabrinton I saw GG three times and without a doubt those were some of the greatest musical evenings of my life. If I hear a Giant song now (like on KZbin) I actually get choked up. What amazing memories.

[@jamescpotter]

Amazing song on an amazing album. GG is more popular today than during their 10 year tenure of the 70's. Better late than never! The best damn live band, period!

[@1359401]

Best epic legendary genius unique band ever live or studio.

[@KingCrimson68]

Greatest band ever! And imo the face of prog rock

What a treat to see new footage of Ray and, of course, the rest of the band. The GOAT!

Agreed... That’s the feeling I get too. I wasn’t able to put that into words for some reason.

[@bukeksiansu2112]

GG's music is like wine, the older it gets, the better it tastes.

[@jamiemorgan4146]

I’m a schooled musician ( Berklee), composer, arranger and producer. Also, a Grammy member, (producer and engineers wing) “No, JM isn’t my real name” Gentle Giant is one of the best and talented bands that’s ever come along. I love Prog Rock and admire Genesis, King Crimson, Rush, Henry Cow, Van der Graaf Generator and many others. Shulmans, I still think that you’re the best out of all. Top #1 I saw you at the Orpheum Theatre, Boston in the late 70’s Amazing!! I can’t even begin to tell you how your music inspired my writing and career. Thank you 🙏🏻 PS. The same date in Boston, I could’ve gone to see you or Genesis . Peter Gabriel was still in the band and left after that. That was a huge decision, but I just had to see and hear all of you play. All of you amazed this Kid... WOW 😳

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

I'm a life-long musician myself, and there are a handful of irreplaceable concerts I've attended. Gentle Giant is absolutely among them. In fact, if I had to chose just one that I could relive via a time machine, it would likely be GG at the Shrine in L.A.

[@shepmathe]

@@jupiterlegrand4817 I was at that show too. It was amazing! A great memory. Seeing them switch out instruments and the singing with the complicated arrangements was so much fun. Blew my little brain. They played with Renaissance (I think) and they were better.

[@MoeJoe974]

⁠I was at the Shrine Auditorium show and it was amazing. I saw them live 7 or 8 times around LA. The first time was when they did a week long gig at The Whisky A Go Go in 1973. I saw 3 shows that week and was blown away.

[@andreysavelev9004]

Amazing!!!!!The most invaluable progressive rock band in the history of rock music. They were as good as humanity was not ready to hear their music. Fantastic musicians I love them and Steven Wilson.

[@estefaniasucre6966]

Just the good old Boys in the Band... Geniuses!!!

[@stefano.salari]

This mix is fantastic but the piece is outstanding!!! What an incredible and underrated band.

[@mariolafrance5806]

This is, no doubt in my mind, one of the greatest GG songs, if not the greatest. The sound is crystal clear and the image is pristine. Thank you M. Wilson for your talent and passion.

Can’t get enough of the Giant. Best band that ever existed.

[@maryrao2306]

This is AMAZING ! Been a fan of Gentle Giant since 1975 ! Never had the chance to see them live but , man, there is nothing that sounds like this. Pure musicianship, talent and love,

[@ritareynolds6001]

They were amazing to see live! Multi-instrumentalists, switching places, not missing a beat! And their acapella vocals were simply the best. Only got to see them once in 1976, but it is still one of my most memorable live shows! ❤

[@jamiemorgan4146]

I saw them in Boston.. Try to imagine how insanely great they’d be live. Got it??? Now multiply it by 10. 😳😳😳 The same date in Boston, I could’ve gone to see GG or Genesis ( Peter Gabriel was still in the band)

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

These guys are not kidding. Their technical prowess was unmatched, but it wasn't simply chopsmanship: the music was just SO good, so unique, so lyrical and beautiful and rocking...they were without a doubt the best live prog band of all time.

[@frankgarnevicus1187]

I saw them in NYC in Nov 1975 at the old Academy of Music by 14th Street. Insanely intense, on point and in your face they had more instrument change ups of any band I had ever seen. Their technical skill was unmatched.

[@tartancomposer-pw1pe]

Among the great prog bands that I love, GG will ALWAYS have pride of place! Great to see them rocking out and showing how versatile they are. Please keep this videos coming. Actually a video compilation dvd would be a great idea and best seller for GG fans. RIP Ray...always in thoughts! ❤

[@peterorr999]

Great stuff. Super audio mix. I saw GG perform this track as their finale in Sheffield City Hall in May 1976. Sadly the hall was only half full. I had just bought the Interview album and already had I Lost My Head in my mind as the stand-out track. I recall Derek Shulman introducing the song saying it was from Interview and I shouted out “I Lost My Head” as they hadn’t played it yet in the set, and sure enough that’s what they played. It was a good track to have in your ears as we left the gig.

[@hanymgamal]

This song has been on rotation for the last two years since I've discovered how brilliant this band was. Every intricate note expresses something holy. Thank you for inserting this magic in our lives

It is funny that it seems no one commented on how wonderful is Kerry's singing. Derek has the power, but the gentle intro is just beautiful. My favorite Kerry vocal piece is "A Reunion" from "In A Glass House.

That Great Gentle Giant Groove! Fortunate to have seen them 3 times. Opening for Tull on 1972 TAAB tour, opening for Foghat on 1974 Freehand era and FINALLY headlining on their last tour 1980. Civilian tour. That last show was astonishing. 2 1/2 hours of intense GG. Did a lot of the early stuff.

[@dereklloyd381]

That's when I saw them too, the civilian tour, bloody amazing!

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

Tull with TAAB and GG on the same bill. I can't even wrap my head around that! Saw them both separately (GG three times actually), but man...both at the same show? It would almost be too much!

[@ericisgreener86]

I remember seeing you guys at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia. PA. Back in the 80's I was hooked you all were the best most unique band I ever discovered. I am still in envy of the bands tightness to this day.

Increíble documento audiovisual. Es muy grato poder escuchar a Gentle Giant con la excelente remezcla de Wilson y verlos en este video que captura en su mera esencia la genialidad musical del Gigante Gentil.

[@richardmcnichols4228]

Wow, many thanks for the remix, synching the video to a live concert, am sure it was quite a challenge. I saw Gentle Giant first at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago, and then the Riviera and Uptown Theaters in Chicago. They composed and performed at musical standards that were extremely high, eclectic, and from baroque to rock and roll. And my whole family back in the day loved their records too. Talking three generations. To see this again live is quite a treat. Our sympathies to Ray and his extended family on his passing. I am sure he'd be delighted.

I saw all the great prog bands of the day and NO one could touch GG. Some of the most intricate, achingly great music I've ever heard. Lord for a time machine and those same center-aisle tickets at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. I'm still heartbroken about Ray. RIP
