LAMENT
(Wetton, Palmer-James, Fripp)
I guess I tried to show you how
I’d take the crowd with my guitar
And business men would clap their hands
And clip another fat cigar
And publishers would spread the news
And print my music far and wide
And all the kids who played the blues
Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide
But now it seems the bubble’s burst
Although you know there was a time
When love songs gathered in my head
With poetry in every line
And strong men strove to hold the doors
While with my friends I passed that age
When people stomped on dirty floors
Before I trod the rock ’n’ roll stage
I'll thank the man who’s on the ’phone
And if he has the time to spend
The problem I’ll explain once more
And indicate a sum to lend
That ten percent is now a joke
Maybe thirty, even thirty-five
I'll say my daddy's had a stroke
He'd have one now, if he only was alive
I like the way you look at me
You’re laughing too down there inside
I took my chance and you took yours
You crewed my ship, we missed the tide
I like the way the music goes
There’s a few good guys who can play it right
I like the way it moves my toes
Just say when you want to go and dance all night

Wetton was under rated as a bass guitarist
Wetton was under rated as a singer. I always thought he was great bass also, my favorite KC lineup also.
@@franklarizza6510 it is most likely the best lineup, but without belew and mr levin we wouldnt have gotten the later songs we got
Not sure about that. He was a prolific session player too. 👍
He was underrated except by those in the know. To those in the know, he was absolutely one of the best.
@@ThaiThomYeah, his work with Roxy Mysic is great too.
I am a 256 year old Jedi master and I have been a fan of this album for a helluva long time.
I am a 70 year old grandmother and I have been a fan of the King Crimson since they first formed. You guys are the best rockers since sliced bread! Yahoo! :)
im 100 years old and ive been a fan of theirs since before i was born so there, beat that.
seriously someone believed that?
@@auto1nfanticid3 I am 130 years old and have been a fan since before robert fripp was born!
I am 64 years old, you are absolutely right, madame!
What a great album... I used to have it on vinyl... I knew about the first album when I was old enough to buy albums...8 or 10 yrs old... that was about it... until just before I was a young High School punk I guess when one of my friends showed me Fripp got back into action in the 80s... then I finally discovered all the albums
One of the songs that most perfectly encapsulates this period of the band, the spacey delicateness leading to perfect buildups that explode into blistering rock.
🎶 I have always found great the change of atmosphere that reaches at 1:20 🎶
lmL
I love how spaaacy the first half of the song is, you can actually see the stars
John Wetton is a Genious.
The song I like in King Crimson
'76 ... playing this on my Discount Sound stereo ... over and over and over.
Absolutely,
King Crimson is King
This has to be heard straight after The Great Deceiver.
Like eclipse must be heard immediately after brain damage...
@@randymarkley5634 the sun is eclipsed by the moon
That's exactly what I'm doing right now. 😉
@@randymarkley5634 Yes...its true...i cant identify who sings Brain damage, if Gilmour or Roger Waters. .but here .he has a style when he sings David Gilmour, ..same music....the same things happens with the songs..The night watch, Exiles, Book of Saturday and Fallen angel........it should be noted that king crimson makes more elaborated music that PINK FLOYD, ...and once they asked Robert Fripp what asked if he coulld be compared with David Gilmour, or who was the best guitarrist of the two, ..not technically, of course, but a has better phassing and taste......AND FRIPP ANSWERED - NO, i discussed David´s approach with him over dinner whe he has visiting mutual chums in middle England a little while ago. The quality of DAVID ´S sound sets a standard to which as i aspire........Greetings from Argentina
@@alejandrobonahora6484 I can agree with you. David Gilmour has the best ear for phrasing of anyone I’ve heard. Fripp is doing something totally different. They are like different facets on the same Diamond.
Love this album💞
yo no
@@nikcopo4071 lol
The best lineup of all wetton cross Fripp bruford that sound so rich and muscular.
Un amigo me alcanzó los discos "Larks Tongues in Aspic", "Starless and Bible Black" y "Red". Luego de escucharlos con mucha atención dije: estos músicos es como si me hubiesen preguntado que tipo de música quería escuchar y lo hicieron magistralmente.
Claro que luego me fui a los inicios de King Crimson y cuando regresaron en los 80`con "Discipline" volvieron a despertar mi admiración. Luego siguieron y siguieron con su creatividad inagotable, gracias al maestro Fripp y sus nuevas incorporaciones.
ProjeKct One de 1997 también me atrapó. El tema es que los Crimson con Bill Bruford en la batería siempre me gustaron más.
Muchas gracias "King Crimson".
Meu amigo não sei falar espanhol mas entendo quando leio e digo que esses caras são surreais mesmo e de uma criatividade inacreditável. Por isso concordo contigo e compartilho a mesma admiração. Sempre ouvi os cara também. Saudações daqui do Rio de Janeiro. ouvindo hoje mais uma vez.
@@marcosrougemadman Un fuerte abrazo, desde ciudad de Canelones, Uruguay.
just finished learning this on guitar. probably spent the most time on the last few seconds lol
Love that fast 7/4 jam at the end.
Searching for that part, imagining I was playing it
Fripps stuff is ridiculous. It took me a year to nail Cirkus.
Funnily enough, the ending is the bit I find easiest to play. I find my fingers getting in the way of each other during the strumming at the beginning (maybe they're just too fat!) 😄
What i loved about the Fripp, Wetton, Bruford and Cross lineup was the way they were able to change pace at any given time, one moment they could play the most gorgeous melody ever with sounds of gentle mellotron and lead violin, the next they're shifting into avant garde mode with the use of percussion before going into full on hard rock with lots of crunchy guitar playing, hard hitting drumming and brutal bass work. King Crimson weren't afraid to use improvisation to build up their music and showed that they could get very heavy with the best of them.
True, compare this to mahavishvnu orchestra, which just seemed like excuses to take solo. Fripp knows what’s he’s doing
I know i'm not the only one that screams this part 1:52
Was turned on to King Crimson in my teens have since gotten as many records as could but never was able to complete the discography. Very happy about their recent uploads. Cheers from Québec.
Comment se lasser d'un tel chef-d'œuvre d'une telle créativité d'une telle puissance musicale. .... trop trop bon
This music is absolutely astounding. Rich melodic speech, harmonies breathtaking orchestration constantly renewed in the use of the stamps of the orchestra, in short a Babylonian sound architecture erected by humbles and impetuous composers !
Para mi biblia, Red y Larks.........Son lo mejor de King Crimson y absolutamente de lo mejor de la musica habida y porrrrr haber!!!
Even tho this isn’t my favorite album i recognize it still has some BANGERS like this 🔥
This track, The Great Deceiver and the absolute best KC composition IMO, Fracture. This album is great! But Larks is my favorite. 😊
My uncle Grigory made me listen to this record before the Great War 1911-3.
The first 1minute 18 seconds of this song are insanely beautiful - Criminally underrated (but what King Crimson song isn’t lmao)
Starless is the only KC song with the correct amount of recognition

Love you my King ⚘🤘❤
King Crimson! As far as music goes they are at the top of the food chain!! When are they coming to NYC again?
"It is Spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent...And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now." Dylan Thomas. Wonder if this was Fripp's inspiration for the album title
Interesting. One of the images I had in my head while listening to this when it was first out was of a goat tripping or dancing down a cobblestone street (around 1:20) and probably on his merry way to a Satanic mass...don't ask why I thought it was a goat because I have no idea...images like that while listening to music are probably why I never felt the need to take drugs...but maybe I should have. If Fripp was thinking about silent cobblestreets, Bruford was probably thinking of goats dancing down the same. Just my opinion.
Haven't listened to this since kfjc..it has surely stood the test of time👍🏿
Uhfff Treeeemendo!
Artaud!!!!!!
Spinetta Infinito 👋
@@Panorama.Tragico Escuchan al grupo ´´POPOL VUH´´, o a ´´SOFT MACHINE´´ que tambien hace una musica elaborada y experimental....UN SALUDO
1:22 Did I just hear a mix of bass fingers and bass *S L A P P* ?
YEAH
Rip John....lark's and bible black two great top albums like usually by King in different line up
What legendary musicians
Siempre King Crimson...siempre!!!
Highly creative!
Nice!!
soooo good!!!!
I like heavy shit and this is heavy
Starless, 2112 and the Dance of Eternity for me. One track per band is plenty except maybe for Crimson.
I feel like I'm somewhere between age 16 and 17 listening to the introduction of this song.
As far as I can reacll it, the basics of all these Songs had been laid during a Concert in Amsterdam, at the Concertgebouw in 1973. Listen to a record called "The Night Watch" which kept this concert.
Some of the songs form that concert were put on this album. The wiki article about this album has info about it.
@@sabatino1977 Well, that's what I said, no ? I don't need a Wiki-Article to know it. Listen to the record I mentionned a month ago. It contains this Concert.
@@sabatino1977 YOH, I think this is what my post said. I don't need Wiki to know it. I know King Crimson. Listen to "Night Watch".
Sweeet!
An apparutus into the 21st
Super, Lament , great sound, analogic system, Lament on the numeric but its possible to make a balance in between two opposites , no lament about it.
In french lament = l'âme hante
blows my mind that this came out in 74
that 70's p bass tone, man
John Wetton!
Wetton had such a mature voice for a 24 year old guy
Good on you granny, don't get to be granma' being a fool.
??!???????
Dominus: yesmam. None better, before or since.
2:51.
