King Crimson - I Talk To The Wind

[@ericanderson8886]

To go from the opening "21st Century Schizoid Man" to this one on the album, you knew you were in for a great ride.

[@21st_Century39]

Absolutely.

Sang this as a lullaby to my boys about 23 years ago. Timeless masterpiece.

I love King Crimson more than any other music group and this was one of the most beautiful songs I ever listened thanks for blessing my ears🌷🌷

[@MikeBoni]

Same here. My favorite band

[@todddonovan9780]

This version really highlights Greg's spectacular vocals. Fabulous...

[@JamesZaworski]

Very nice early version. I am listening as a result of the passing of Peter Sinfield, the lyricist. It's nice to hear the late Greg Lake as well in his early King Crimson days.

[@StephenBatchelor-l5m]

It is said that he wanted the words, 'I talk to the wind' on his tombstone.

In the court of the crimson king 1969 . Rock , folk , ballad , classic , jazz . Progressive rock was born here !

Прекрасная музыка. Люблю творчество этих парней! Сквозь десятилетия! 👍

[@jamesbond4633]

Cadence and Cascade with Greg Lake singing is one of the most sublime songs I have ever heard. Wish it was on this album.

[@МаксРогозин-е1ю]

Well album version with Haskell on vocals nothing to complain.

[@irone9143]

Bukan Greg lake melainkan Ian MC donnal

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

This first album IS a jewel and this song 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖FOREVER 💖💖🌟💖

[@kleberveridianogoncalvesde6293]

Beautiful! Greg Lake Eternal.🎼🙏

[@joaquinguzmsnpentinel7678]

La canción tiene una Melodía Elaborada, con mucha exquisitez y llega al Corazón. Yo llevo escuchándola desde los años 80. Lo mejor de todo es que habrá un público en las siguientes generaciones que sigan oyendo este tema. Todo un clásico por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

Absolutely, King Crimson is king, magical music.

[@Afficionadoh]

Almost in tears of nostalgia listening to this beauty.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

What a beautiful melody this song 🎶✨

[@sunkenindeaf]

Wessex Studios was a converted Victorian church hall in North London. After the first album, King Crimson recorded "In the Wake of Poseidon" and "Lizard" in Wessex as well. Queen, Sex Pistols, The Pretenders, The Clash, The Damned are among bands that were recorded later in Wessex. The last great works to be born in Wessex were Talk Talk's last two albums, "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock". In 2003 the studio closed and was sold to a residential developer.

[@GenericFunny]

This is such a beautiful version of the song, thank you so much for this!

[@peterschmitz6446]

What a beautiful Version, sounds like an unplugged Variation with crystal clear Flute and Voice. Wonderful.

[@dmitrimatantsev1898]

So beautiful version I've never listened before ❤

[@MingusAhUmmUhhhh]

Feels even more relaxing than the original. The acoustic guitar adds even more than the piano in my opinion.

[@josemanuelsoriagonzalez]

Gracias Ian McDonald, Peter Sinfield, Greg Lake, Michael Giles y Robert Fripp.

Love this song 🤍🤍🤍

[@theo-x4s]

Beautiful and Frip's guitar is incredible ❤️🥺

[@take942]

I've been a King Crimson Fan since high school in 1972 and to this day. This "unplugged" version sounds so good!

[@zSly_]

This song makes it sound like I caught the wind with my hands and put it in my ears, what a great experience

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

Still, the wind is the greatest listener above all guys, you did a great job indeed, young generations deserve a lot of wind, help them, speak up, put them all tears of grief there on music notes and let them sound just this good 🎉❤🎉

[@amaury1264]

Beautiful.

[@pattheplanter]

This was the theme song of my life in the 80s. I am a little more focussed now. Edited to add: Great version.

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

Simply brilliant 👍

[@noeldsouza412]

Listening to King Crimson from early 70''s 🎶🎶🎶☮️❤️ from India

[@frippster]

how'd you get the records here in the 70s? Were record stores hip for things like king crimson among other things?

[@guitaristssuck8979]

​@@frippster he most likely moved to India

[@noeldsouza412]

It may surprise a few of you that Bombay (among other big cities like Bangalore and Delhi) had quite a few Record Shops starting in late 60''s, most notable of them was Rhythm House which sadly shut shop in 2016

[@noeldsouza412]

Do check out Rhythm House Mumbai on Google.... I've tried attaching the link but it won't go through...

[@frippster]

​@@noeldsouza412 one can most probably find these in Bengaluru in the present

[@juanbrujox]

This song means A LOT to me.

[@herrgonfar]

WHY

[@tipoomaster]

No one writes lyrics like King Crimson did, truly

[@SpaceAlienJesus]

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my life It takes me away no matter what version. King Crimson were ahead of their time.

[@101artclub6]

Brings so many good memories

[@elleanorburke]

love how many amazing renditions of this song there are getting to be

[@Zyborggian]

Grinds my gears that everyone always gives Fripp ALL the credit alongside highlighting the debut album the most when Ian McDonald seemed to have a pretty big hand in composing the gorgeous gentle prog that this album sort of pioneered. Rest in Power, king.

[@gfgarner1301]

Ah, yes. Ian McDonald. No doubt he was a monster on the first King Crimson album. Funny thing is that he sort of disappeared afterwards. Sure, there was McDonald and Giles album after that, which one might have expected to be nearly as ground-breaking as ITCOTCK, but was mediocre in comparison. Then the guy largely disappears after that except for a minor gig with Foreigner (who later learned they would get along fine without him). One might argue that it took Fripp to bring out the best in McDonald, but we'll never know. He went to his grave regretting his departure from KC.

[@Zyborggian]

@@gfgarner1301 Am I crazy or when he left with him went his melodic pastoral orchestrated mellotrons prog sound that almost everyone ripped off.

[@Zyborggian]

@@gfgarner1301 I feel like KC is more heavy and avant prog besides large chunks of that debut album a lot of the time. Well they're calming and melodic but I've never heard them be so in the particular way they were on the debut again

[@chrisdunmore9433]

[@ivanfortuny2244]

[@Metzaroid]

Lovely song, oh what a lovely song.

[@davidstair9657]

My 19 year old is a huge King Crimson fan. My wife and I watched "Red" live the other day and my wife is now hooked. I almost had a seizure listening to Easy Money where the drums suddenly explode with bass (near the end of the song *spoiler*). Music has not rocked me this hard in a long time! Recent convert to Prog... SO MUCH MUSIC!!!

Amazing and very beautiful ❤️

[@The-Clockwork-Eye]

The drumming on the album version is sublime though Robert. Incredible, subtle dynamics, the true art of kit drumming, much lacking in this modern world.

[@karstenschulze8843]

Beautiful version with the shorter and slightly different flute solo and the dominant vocal lines. I only miss those wonderful guitar flageolets.

[@taffyjones281]

I bought the album within weeks of release, whilst in 6th Form. It was astonishing and unique!

🌬 _I Talk To The Wind_ 🍃 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 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 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 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 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

[@Movies2049]

The tempo is slightly slower on this track than the original release. I feel it adds to the overall feel of the lyrics more than the original which alters the mood. The guitar is also supportive of the happy go lucky late 60’s dream
