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.
@@tagueulepourvoirjaiunesacr4279 all Jamie Muir did was clutter the compositions…….when they left Muir behind they found out that was the missing link…and the sound became surgical and so much more powerful.
Actually, that was true until 2002, when the Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With EP was released with the acoustic version of "Eyes Wide Open." Of course, I'm pretty sure that it was Adrian Belew playing the acoustic guitar on that, while Fripp simply used his G-synth and clean electric tones, but still...
Man I never thought of it like that. But you're right, the tone shift was much different to the newer stuff. I don't fault Fripp one bit, All of his work is equally impressive.
One of the greatest songs Crimson ever made, just simply unique. Everything about the musical arrangement is incredible, the thunderous vocals by Wetton, the mid-section bass, Fripp's solos, in addition to the drumming by Bruford, iconic.
I understand your exuberance...:)...But you can't discount Easy Money, or In the wake of poseidon, or Starless, Or Happy Family or Court, of course...But; It is an amazing song and tied with those mentioned...:)
It's just one of those bands with a signature in their sound, there's something magical and mystical about king crimson, despite how much their music varies, the feelings they convey are profound yet abstract. Beautifully done
"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.
I start crying when Fripp's distorted sort-of pizzicato/marcato bit comes in during the ending section; it's such a sorrowful tone and its mixture with everything else is just so powerful.
@@tonii-chan Rush were babies back in the 70s. Their COS to Hemispheres run ain't as influential but my favorites.. But their first 2 80s album took it. 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.
@@daghetto101 king crimson's "pop" was still progressive though, no? songs like frame by frame, thela hun ginjeet, discipline etc. are still complicated, they just sound "cleaner" and more "new wave"ish. i could even go as far as arguing that discipline is a much more progressive album than red, it's just not a very traditional approach to progressive rock.
Tears of joy at the birth of a brother Never alone from that time Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger Strangely why his life not mine West side skyline crying Fallen angel dying Risk a life to make a dime Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city Make us the people we are Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment Better get back to the car Fallen angel Fallen angel Fallen angel Fallen angel West side skyline Crying for an angel dying Life expiring in the city 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 angel Fallen angel
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".
There’s an argentinian prog-rock band called Invisible, one of their songs “Perdonado” has something similar to that riff, they themselves were probably KC fans
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
That's a very relatable story, friend. I had a very difficult time last year too. 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. We're not alone in all this and a fallen angel can fly once again
Among my three Crimson favorites. Fripp's main riff and all the guitar lines, Wettton's voice, that heavenly oboe melody... This song is so Crimson... From heaven to hell in seconds, and on the same song. Sad beautiful lyrics too.
People don’t realize it but this is a very “heavy” song specially taking in consideration how it was launched in middle 70’s. I love it and it must had influenced so many others bands
I always thought, if there's one album cover that captures the pure essence of the music, it's this album. Even Mr. Fripp looks like a badass in that photo. Fallen Angel is such an epic track. Makes me really miss John Wetton more. Thank you KC for releasing more of your sublime music on the Tube!
Funnily enough, he hated that cover, saying that it made them look like Grand Funk Railroad. Nothing wrong with them (to me!), but I can see what he's getting at.
A truly progressive song without sounding progressive !! Bruford's amazing drumworks , Wetton's beautiful vocal , Fripp's electrifying guitar works , the oboes, cellos - whole thing unites beautifully !! One of Crimson's best work if not the best !! Lavish praise & not enough actually though it came out more than 40 years ago !!!!
all Red tracks described in 10 words or less: Red - Yeah **ascends scales** Fallen Angel - shit... my bro died... **cries in cornet** One More Red Nightmare - yo fuck the USA Providence - Man, honestly fuck it Starless - That one song every King Crimson album has. Perfection.
Arranco como un tema tranquilo....y de pronto soltaron un estribillo loco e inesperado de ´´FALLEN ANGEL´´ repetido ......que .no me sono armonico apenas lo escuche.....pero a traves del tiempo, lo asimile, y me encanto.........genial....y bueno....es King crimson, no

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 : )
Recently discoverd this band I missed so long ago thanks to a little anime. First few rifts of in the court had me interested. This cemented it. Im in deep now lol Finding Red of all things in a flee market brought me near to tears as I was meaning to get a copy somewhere and there it was. Cant say any other cd ever brought about such emotion on sight. I knew Id like it. I was wrong, loved it. Especially this track and Starless.
Is this a remaster? Maybe I just haven't listened to this in decades! RED sounds even more convincingly like an Indie-Grunge 90s production precursor than it did back then. It was always a fools errand to try to talk to Smashing Pumpkins fans about King Crimson production values, anyway. The style of distortion, loud drums, bright and murky mixing sound ahead of their time. Not typical mid 70s production style...
I dont know why but this beautiful song makes me think of Elden Ring, as I've been playing it lately. King Crimson's music goes very well with the iconography and settings of that game.
This song originated from an improv of the same name, at the Zoom Club in Frankfurt, Germany on oct 13 1972, when Jamie Muir and David cross were still in the band. The main riff is indistinguishable
Size olan sevgimi sözcüklerle ifade edemem, şu 10-15 yıllık gençliğim boyunca sizler bana eşlik ettiniz ve edeceksiniz. Ölene kadar size kulak vermekten asla usanmayacağım King Crimson.
Tool had to have been influenced by this band. King Crimson is a lot more interesting personally, but I swear I can hear major elements used in many Tool songs.
I saw King Crimson open for Tool in 2001 on the Lateralus tour. They’ve stated numerous times that King Crimson was a huge influence on them. Especially Danny Carey and Adam Jones. Mind blowing show all around.
I dont know why...but the trumpet coming in feels like a cry. It sounds like a genuine cry of grief making this song so much better.
I love this.
I believe that actually is a Cornet, played by Marc Charig. It does sound like a cry.

From 1:40 what a change. Metal bands later picked up that trick. Very influential band
I still can't believe this song was from 1974. It feels so recent. I would have believed this track came out from the 90s at least.
Idk, the oboe and cornet date it pretty much before the 80s and the guitar tone doesn't sound very 90s to me
I guess 90s and 00s alternative rock bands took inspiration of that

I think this is the fattest snare sound that Bruford ever achieved. The song is hauntingly beautiful as well.
I was wondering if the snare detunes during the song, mut don't know if it's just one take... Anyways KING CRIMSON IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD
5o5o
He used a broken snare with holes in it that he found in a dumpster. It only lasted long enough this song before breaking completely
I love this song, the way it starts as a Innocent and sweet ballad but becomes more melancholic and dark

I love how King Crimson can make a story about Hell's Angels sound like a tale of knights & dragons. Simply magical.
it's not about hell's angels (who drive motorcycles, not cars).
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.

"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".

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…
Russian lyrics before English lol
Jesus, the raddest song I heard in 2023 came from 1974. The audio production on this is out of this world
Seek out the instrumental "trio mix" of this song, if you can find it. It takes you to another place altogether.
@@Esotereclectic Second this. I have the trio mix on CD and bruford sounds even better on it than the album version
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 : )
Es extraordinario como usa el china en este disco, bruford es un adelantado a su tiempo
Recently discoverd this band I missed so long ago thanks to a little anime. First few rifts of in the court had me interested. This cemented it. Im in deep now lol Finding Red of all things in a flee market brought me near to tears as I was meaning to get a copy somewhere and there it was. Cant say any other cd ever brought about such emotion on sight. I knew Id like it. I was wrong, loved it. Especially this track and Starless.
tears of Joy.. at the sight of an album
Never alone from that time~
One of the Best progressive rock music from all Times !
"Fallen Angel" ... another masterpiece !
The madlad, Fripp went and did it
Found this looking for modern/non-classical songs featuring the Oboe: can officially say I'm satisfied.
the trumpet in this song is fire
that riff sound like i want you she is so heavy
on the 40th Anniversary release there is 'Trio instrumental version', Wetton's vocals are great on this original - but to hear Fripp's guitar is wild
Simply sublime. Every player, every instrument just perfect.
Is this a remaster? Maybe I just haven't listened to this in decades! RED sounds even more convincingly like an Indie-Grunge 90s production precursor than it did back then. It was always a fools errand to try to talk to Smashing Pumpkins fans about King Crimson production values, anyway. The style of distortion, loud drums, bright and murky mixing sound ahead of their time. Not typical mid 70s production style...
Great song and album . Bruford had such a distinct style and sound . His snare drum is unmistakable
Probably my biggest claim to fame is my kid had a playdate with Bill Buford's grandson. Total happenstance. I nearly flipped my lid!
Bruford had the fullest sound of any drummer I ever heard!
one of the most beautiful song of the 20th century!
My life makes sense now, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time
I dont know why but this beautiful song makes me think of Elden Ring, as I've been playing it lately. King Crimson's music goes very well with the iconography and settings of that game.
Such a brilliant song. Never gets old.
This song originated from an improv of the same name, at the Zoom Club in Frankfurt, Germany on oct 13 1972, when Jamie Muir and David cross were still in the band. The main riff is indistinguishable
Size olan sevgimi sözcüklerle ifade edemem, şu 10-15 yıllık gençliğim boyunca sizler bana eşlik ettiniz ve edeceksiniz. Ölene kadar size kulak vermekten asla usanmayacağım King Crimson.
Crazy that that guitar riff sounds like it came right out of the 90s post hardcore scene
1:40
Sublime
Risentita ancora, dopo 47 anni, sempre meravigliosa.
Vero, è forse una delle migliori
Questa è la banda migliore di tutti i tempi. Musica sofisticata per persone semplici.
One if my favorite songs from a favorite album. Everything Fripp does on this song alone has influenced my playing a lot.
My favourite song of all time
Definitely in my top three King Crimson songs. Up there with Islands and The Night Watch
This masterpiece is still vastly underrated. You hate to see it
Tool had to have been influenced by this band. King Crimson is a lot more interesting personally, but I swear I can hear major elements used in many Tool songs.
I saw King Crimson open for Tool in 2001 on the Lateralus tour. They’ve stated numerous times that King Crimson was a huge influence on them. Especially Danny Carey and Adam Jones.
Mind blowing show all around.
Let's suppose somebody have asked you about the greatest example of creativity , what would you tell ? STARLESS King Crimson !!!!!
fantastic!
This is the best album Crimson ever made!
One of the best prog songs
Damn this song hits hard
¡No se puede ser tan bueno, carajo!
One of the best Song ever in music history Bro. Simply
Con apenas 3 meses de llegar al mundo, ya se cocinó éste manjar a los oídos, que a todo dar.
ke? no entendi
Me emociono toda vez que ouço , e vc foram centenas de vezes.
i love this song😭💕 john wetton is greatest vocalist.ever🤣🤣💕✌️❤️🎵
Love the horns on this track, magnificent song.
4:00, always goosebumps
I desperately need this song to become a stand.
This song is amazing, but holy shit the first ten seconds set up for something way greater than we could've imagined
One of my favorite songs!
