[@chicklets4ever51]

Much of the best Brit rock from the 60s-70s has that melancholy. Even sometimes the Stones and Beatles (especially John Lennon). But it really comes out in prog bands like Crimson, Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues. It is to their credit and shows that they could see through the utopian optimism of hippiedom to the existential crisis that was upon the human race (and is now reaching its peak) without, however, abandoning the ideals of that utopia. It is music for the ages, all of it. I do hope we learn from it.

[@kanalbezfilmow]

Edit: Thanks for blowing up my comment, but it wasn't the point of it. I just wanted to leave a few words and now I feel weird with it being so high. My best friend died in 2019 by suicide. One of his final messages was to play this song at his funeral. Quite ironic, but it was his sense of humor. Despite this, the song doesn't make me sad, if anything it makes me reminisce the time we shared. A feeling of melancholy, but not sadness. Out of all of his favourite songs, which they were many, I think the sound of this one is most fitting. I come back to it every once in a while, makes me appreciate him even more. A very talented and intelligent man who lost a fight with his demons, taken way too soon. I know probably no one is going to read this, but I wanted to leave a word. An Epitaph if you will.

Epitaph Considered one of the best of the album, is a track that wasn't easy to record. In the live of the Hyde Park it was diferent. Greg's vocals changed a lot between the write and studio record of the song, the "The hands of fools" from the lives of Fillmore sounds calm, and the early live session of 4 minutes from Hyde Park's concert has too much pauses. As a I Talk to the Wind, the instrumental was tried to record many times, both Morgan and Wessex Studios. On Morgan, as I Talk to the Wind, was recorded several times, some of the alternates takes are on the Court of the Crimson King 50th Anniversary Edition, and a acapella version of Greg's vocals (KC50, Vol. 30). The lyrics are a totally masterpiece, I consider Greg as the perfect voice for Peter's writes.

[@natpowers1]

As a producer and songwriter myself, it's moments like this when you hear this kind of a masterpiece for the first time, your ears are truly blessed with the divine. After practically hating my father for 32 years, I forgave him after my first two mushroom trips, giving me two months with him before he passed in my arms. Despite having crippling dementia, it was more like 2,000 years. 7 months later my mum passed. In the wake of the most painful times of my life, I have developed a relationship with my dads best friend "Schmidt", who wrote me a list of all the bands he and my dad saw, and often roadied for as a favour to get close to them and get in for free - one of those names they saw and grew close to was "King Crimson". And here I am, hearing not only what my dad heard in his youth, but also my mother - after learning that they both had a copy of this album on vinyl independently, before they met. To me, this isn't music - this is healing. This is a way I can continue to know my parents even after they are gone. And quite frankly, I wonder when there will be an "ART" gallery that plays only music, for this is truly no different to me than Da Vinci or Picasso - it's a a work of art, breathtaking to the senses, enough to move you to tears, and shake your soul to its core. Brilliant.

[@Ignirium]

It's fascinating that everything you said is very similar to what happened in my life. I spent 34 years hating my step father(never knew my father) for the chronic abuse he caused in our lives, before i reached a period in my life where well being and education became the most important thing in my life to succeed at understanding and using for myself personally. A passion of learning meditation and of the mind, and of learning every subject surrounding that topic(science and philosophy) lead me towards forgiving my step father - only that he died a few years prior so i wasn't able to see him with my compassionate understanding of human beings. For all my life I've been trying to figure out what music he used to listen to and i only had a fraction of the chorus and the wrong memory of some lyrics but i found out what he's favorite music was - "Sixto Rodriguez- Cold fact" - I listened to the whole album while privately thinking about him and found my closure and forgave him in my way. It was quite easy to do with the incredible music on there. I also listen to music and get overwhelmed by the "majestic feeling" of it, some songs move me to tears and leaves me starring blankly after the song is over and i sit there mesmerized/transfixed for a long time not able to do anything. With first listen It happened with this song, Dogs - Pink Floyd, Ready Able - Grizzly Bear, a lot of Bjork songs; mainly All is Full of Love, Crystalline, The Gate, So many Aphex Twin songs, too many, Sober - Tool, Schism - Tool, The Actor - Moody Blues, Boy with a Coin - Iron and Wine, sérénade mélancolique, op 26 - Itzak Pearlman, Iron Lung - King Gizzard, inertiatic esp - the Mars Volta, What Else is There - Royksopp, Buttercup - Jack Stauber, In My Arms - Kylie Minogue, Malice Mizer, Radiohead, There's something about those songs that pushes my heart to surface.

A timeless classic. These guys were in their early 20's when this was written. I first heard this in 1970 when I was only 14. I was amazed by all the intricacies going on in this. How can people be so clever? Now I'm older it is a simple chord base beautifully put together.

Je suis un ancien lauréat du 1er Lycée Militaire Royal de kenitra...Maroc ....entre 1975 et 1981....à l'époque ou il y avait la 3ème base aérienne américaine à kenitra... Nous avions au sein de notre Institution l'une des meilleures discothèques...qui existent au Maroc .... Les albums à l'époque... viennent automatiquement enrichir notre discothèque.... Et cette chanson nous était transmise dans ttes les salles ...pleine de belles paroles.... une belle harmonie de ces ingénieurs hors pair du son .... Nous ecoutions egalement : les pink floyds....dire straits...the eagles.... paul simon...kenny rogers... En ce moment ....j'ai re écouté Epitaph..... et me re donne bcp de nostalgie ....
