    I remember when Red came out calling the local rock station over and over trying to get them to play this song. When they finally played it it was with some snarky comment about how it was from the album Red because it is so loud. The song is the epitome of a great KC song. A fantastic song, the best KC lineup of all time (minus Cross), awesome guitar, incredable drumming, beautiful voice, wonderful lyrics and of course Fripps out of this world guitar.

    "Fallen Angel" brings true tears to my eyes. Such a loyal criminological depiction, that relates to an unfortunate prosaic reality of our mankind. An amazing, priceless song. The interlude from 2:58 to 3:41 is like a sharp knife straightly to the heart, like a requiem composed for someone beloved. I feel the pain.
    I must highlight, regarding the lyrics, lines like these ones: "Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city; Make us the people we are" and "Snow white side streets of cold New York City; Stained with his blood it all went wrong". Brings tears to my eyes, everytime. Besides, I must say that I especially love Robin Miller's beautiful oboe lines, in this one.

      Full song explanation:
      So fallen angel is abt 2 brothers from new york city "Tears of joy at the birth" who spend all their time together for years, they eventually get into a gang where they distribute drugs and do crimes, street violence type shit "Never alone from that time, sixteen years through knife fights" but even through that time his brother was still a decent person. but in a drug deal gone wrong his brother dies in the cold new york streets, with them quickly evading not even giving the brother time to mourn his brother, who died for worthless drugs. pretty much the whole red album is abt fear, like for example my friend described starless as "Starless, Is about a man about to die looking back on his life and realizing it was meaningless and empty, and how he wasted it. His life being empty (Starless and bible black, which literally just represents emptiness)". Fallen angel is about the fear of loss, the fear of loosing something forever just like that, its sad to think of life and death like that but it is what it is. the whole song is him mourning this "fallen angel" he once knew. "Snow white side streets of cold. New York City. Stained with his blood, it all went wrong .Sick and tired. Blue, wicked and wild. God only knows for how long. Fallen agnel, Fallen angel".

    This song along with Crimsons original trilogy of Court, Posideon, and Lizard, helped me get through quarantine last year, especially during the summer, I would be awake in the late hours of the night thinking, and questioning constantly, and King Crimsons music, Fallen Angel in this case, was one of my personal favorites, it strikes an emotional tie with me, even if my story doesn't tie with the themes of the original, I still have my own personal connection, as of this year, I'm a highschool dropout, I've had enough with the flawed system, when I was down on my luck and school just kept kicking me in the gut, I decided to opt out for my needs, now I feel like a fallen angel in my families' eyes, something destined for great things but stripped of them because I wanted something more.
    Update, it's now been a year since I dropped out of my old highschool, I gave myself months to reflect and learn and I can safely say I'm in a better spot than before. I'm in school once more, but have improved greatly and am now a senior, hopefully will graduate next year, after I turn 20 this year. It's a start, and hopefully hear on I'll have a brighter path to look forward to than I previously thought, thanks for reading and enjoy the tunes.
    Update 2: I'm 21 at the time of writing this, and did graduate last year! But now I'm going through a tough period as an adult now, constantly looking for work and a place to properly call my own, and hoping to see people I longed to see before this year ends. Just like 4 years ago, I'm awake, restless, and in deep turmoil again. This year has been a great struggle, and I feel like I can't handle it anymore as each day passes, but even so, I still manage to wake up in the morning still. I don't ask for any sympathy or kind works, but just luck. At least one or more chances to keep going

I'd just finished high school (which I HATED as well), but haven't done much of anything during this pandemic period. My mental health plummeted and now that I'm actually doing better, Crim's music is like a window into that timeframe, especially Starless. I'm glad this bands glorious music could help you out :) There's a way to make this life work, even with the awful systems we have to endure.

I give them their credit because their inspirations AKA Pioneers of Prog (King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant) became sell outs and turned pop. Rush stayed true to it. At least for a while, since they turned into those disco synth 80s too.

    Wetton & Bruford !!!!
    And the famous "Broken" cracked Cymbal Bruford found at the recording studio that he used on this song and others on the "Red" album One more Red Nightmare !! Sort of an impromptu China Cymbal Bruford said in interviews and I believe it's in the Great book on Crimson by Sid Smith "In the Court of King Crimson". Remember in Rock/Prog China Cymbals weren't a Big thing in Drumming yet in 1973-74' even though the evolution of them was around for a long time !! China's were used by Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP and Billy Cobham and other Jazz/Fusion Drummers in the early 70s : )

    Тронут до слез я рождением брата
    Я же все детство был так одинок
    Средь поножовщины, риска и страха
    Вряд ли другим будет путь твой, браток
    Вестсайдский горизонт рыдает -
    Ведь падший ангел умирает,
    Рискнув всей жизнью из-за пустяка
    Жизнь, что мы тратим на улицах Сити,
    Нас формирует такими, как есть.
    В Городе Быстрых Ножей не форсите,
    Лучше вам вид из авто предпочесть
    Плохи дела в равнодушном Нью-Йорке
    Кровью испачканный снег - как итог
    Злость, исступленье, усталость в подкорке
    Долго ль продлится все, знает лишь Бог
    О, падший ангел, падший ангел
    Вестсайдский горизонт рыдает -
    Ведь падший ангел умирает,
    Его срок жизни истекает
    О, павший в Сити ангел…
