King Crimson - One Time

Full Playlist: • THRAK | Full Album
ONE TIME
One eye goes laughing,
one eye goes crying
through the trials and trying of one life
one hand is tied
one step gets behind
in one breath we’re dying
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up
waiting for the showers to stop
waiting for the penny to drop
one time
and i’ve been standing in a cloud of plans
standing on the shifting sands
hoping for an open hand
one time

THRAK is a masterpiece One time, Dinosaur, People and Walking on Air confirms it

[@jbasti227]

💯💯💯

[@incognito7479]

Sex, sleep, eat, drink, dream pretty much covers it all.

[@FrenchToasted1995]

don't forget marine 475

[@aakkoin]

@@FrenchToasted1995 Marine 475 is such an overlooked gem. Very crimsony, dark and dramatic and cool. "Coda" is a musical term for an ending part or outro, in Italian it means "tail".

[@synthgone]

Belew always was and always will be one of the greatest musicians of all times...

[@Yanto2013]

Hauntingly Beautiful. One eye goes laughing, One eye goes crying Through the trials and trying of one life One hand is tied One step gets behind In one breath we're dying I've been waiting for the sun to come up Waiting for the showers to stop Waiting for the penny to drop One time And I've been standing in a cloud of plans Standing on the shifting sands Hoping for an open hand One time

[@marlonkonrad]

I love the sound of the snare as the ticking sound of a mechanical watch.

[@moon_pan_]

Is true o:

[@3lullabies]

If I heard this on radio today and didnt know artist, I would very much think it to be Radiohead. King Crimson are mentors of so many.

[@michaelrandall9034]

Adrian’s vocals are on a completely higher level.

[@harisnaeem9653]

My favorite King Crimson song.

[@incognito7479]

Now that you mentioned it, mine too. I find it playing in my head when I’m not home, usually when I’m riding my bike which is often.

[@TapesTree]

Definitely has a place in my heart. It is lovely.

[@Keirfey]

Mine, too ❤

[@ANGELDANIELMOLINALOPEZ]

Agree 🙏🏽

[@albertounited]

Mine too! 👍

[@ricardooliva8916]

Probably the most underrated KC album, it has an unbelievable melancholic and sad atmosphere that i cannot truly describe with words i just love it

[@christopherjobin-official7440]

You mean The ConstruKction of Light. The Double Trio is extremely beloved by Crimson fans, including me. The love the Double Duo gets is much smaller.

[@Dartagnan65]

Thrak!!

[@pedrofarias417]

I consider "One Time" a good atmospheric and sad song. Somehow, it brings me some nostalgia feelings, combined with the idea of contemporary human anxieties and fragilities.

[@dikembemutombo6022]

I realized the other day I have been listening to and living with this song for 20 years. Unbelievable. Every now and then it comes back and gives me focus and comfort. It is a recondite masterpiece for the initiated! Thanks KC.

[@sensefullessence9593]

Me too. 30 Years 🙏❤️🙏

[@rorshakks]

I had to look up "recondite". Well used. I bought this the week it came out. Brilliant album.

[@aakkoin]

Hwone ayy, goes laughing

[@dmitriymode1156]

One Time is such a melodical, lyrical matperiece

[@crawlFace]

An absolute masterpiece.

[@jorgemolina1769]

Cuando oí este tema, inmediatamente me prendí de el, hermosa melodía, especial atmósfera y esos detalles musicales que solo una banda como KC puede lograr... Es un tema inolvidable para llevarlo prendido en el corazón...❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉😊

[@crawlFace]

Music is quite sacred. Music like this has saved life from annihilation many times. Existence understands.

[@michaelrandall9034]

🍻

[@kapetandijabola]

One eye goes laughing, one eye goes crying when I listen to this song.

[@robert5823]

What an exquisite song; everything about it is beautiful, as if it had floated off one on of Monet's painting and had yet another life of it's own... A masterpiece that never fails to gather me to it, for yet another flight...

[@stevepurcell7805]

How is it this only has 38k views? I must have viewed it 38k times. Another of Crimson's spectacular 'lovey dovey' songs. The ones you play for the girlfriend. This style of music, whatever it is called is an inspiration to stretch the boundaries of composition.

[@epicboxx3838]

For those curious, you would just have to listen to this song for around 2 weeks straight to get this video 38k views, therefore this is possible. We can vew it 38 thousand times each and show our undying appreciation for ths song

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Wonderful and unique song.

[@zzz3322]

Marvelous beautiful melancholic Crim'song. Maestro Belew is not only a great guitarist but also a great singer-songwriter.

[@johnnyquest6115]

I don't understand why rock radio stations don't play King Crimson. They're more than happy to keep playing the same Led Zep, Ac/dc, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Metallica, songs but they won't make any room for KC! Does KC owe them any money? Is that why?

[@donutlover772]

Completely agree, it's ridiculous when I think about how often I hear all of those bands you mentioned, and yet NEVER have I heard any King Crimson (if my memory serves me correctly).

[@annaclarafenyo8185]

The point of these radio stations was to advertise drugs, King Crimson is completely drug-free and has been since around 1972. Other bands who reject drugs, like Zappa, are also blacklisted.

[@matrases3147]

King Crimson isn't enough popular

[@samuelrogers9276]

It's about the demographic$

[@inkblowout]

As Zappa said, if you are Prog, then you won't be played on the radio.

[@igorbykov8419]

For me after 1980 it is the best King Crimson song.

[@soundscapes4619]

A beautiful melody. The song has significant meaning for me at this time in my life.

[@guspapadopoulos]

Same with me. In retrospect this song reeks with very intense emotional memories. Very intense.

[@chrisbyars4422]

This is truly timeless. This song is not bound by time. It’s like I could have heard in 1979 or 1985…The words were already there, just waiting to be sung by Adrian Belew.

[@damonedwards1544]

Imagine Roy Orbison doing it.

[@vitordarksider]

THRAK has the most unique atmosphere in any KC album

[@sensefullessence9593]

Allways Happy to meet someone truely sensible 🙏 Even If Just in digital web.

[@craigbrinkman1262]

I finally found this song I remember from the 90s.

[@InsaneCarville]

That is a fact of life!

[@aakkoin]

Bruford said it's a "mature" record for "mature" people

[@oliverhovde6605]

@@aakkoin funny considering “I’m a dinosaur. Someone’s digging my bones.” And Vrooom Vrooom

[@salvatoresacco7386]

Meravigliosa. Agli stessi livelli dei grandi classici del passato come Book of Saturday o The Nightwhatch.

[@jimmyhamms4698]

Very nice song recently was recommended this band definitely a good recommendation

[@aakkoin]

No turning back, KC has so many incredible songs spanning 50 years

[@babysunmusic1179]

This track has became one of my all time faves. Beautiful.

[@incaroads100]

Great lyrics from Adrian Belew!

[@horacioperalta7325]

Soy argentino y escucho King Crimson hace 29 años, ¡Qué música espectacular!

[@Keirfey]

Catharsis... it's a feeling I know far too well. Love feels like it's been held from me, and that's never a good place for a soul to reside. Love is precious. I wish people understood how much...

[@andreistroe4140]

such a beautiful song.

[@scottbaker5998]

My favorite KC song with which to sing along. KC for those who can't appreciate prog.

[@user-js6el7vn2r]

"ЛИШЬ РАЗ" Глаз левый смеется, А правый рыдает. Одной всего жизни на это хватает Рука просто плетью свисает. На шаг моё "Я" отступает. На вдохе одном человек умирает. А я все ждал что моё солнце взойдет Ждал что наконец дождь пройдёт Ждал, что этот грош упадёт Лишь раз. Я вновь продолжил витать в облаках Вмиг исчезая в этих зыбких песках Надеясь удержать всё в открытых руках Лишь раз.

THE SENSE OF LIFE. KC NUMBER ONE 💙*

[@LucasF25]

23 yo going on a prog rock rabbit hole..... Damn, this band is kinda like Pink Floyd but using stronger drugs than shrooms or something. Idk, i can't explain shit. Either way, i might not know anything about the band nor understand everything they're singing about, but i'm really growing to love their stuff as weird as it is... It's truly beautiful

[@MyDemon32]

Since you're new in this world i gonna simplify it for ya. King Crimson is Pink Floyd without drugs. Just the eternal suffering of everyday life.

[@andrewoverhere8525]

Ya man this is that "meditative high". Check out their tune level five

[@C90Recordings]

So basically, in this song King Crimson laid out how Radiohead was going to sound from 2008 onwards. I mean... come on... this could be on "In Rainbows" or "King of Limbs". So gorgeous.

[@builderbanana3620]

For as much as I love Tom Yorke, I could not hear him reaching the smoothness that Adrian Bellew projects here, that deep twang in his voice is something I just can’t hear out of Yorke.

Is this the only studio version of this song? The one I was listening to for years is a bit different and shorter than this one and I can't find out where that's from.
