[xXBronzedBalletXx]

I love it.



[Attakijing]

Make sure to listen to the doves song inspired by Moonchild, "M62 song" /watch?v=EudM7Jp4Hkc

[blackhole35]

Buffalo 66?

[AntoineStrider]

This entire album makes me wanna close my eyes and float on the music.

[NailSun23]

this song reminds me of a acid trip that ive never been on

[MrPeanutDojo]

this song was uploaded on my birthday.

[Jwcmack]

I looked up this album because of a Venture Brothers reference, it just exploded my mind.

[TheDoroteK]

Wszystko co ma to pustka...

[thelilymoore]

Love that tone on the guitar.

[LanceHelmut]

i'm makin' out with my hippie girl friend in her bedroom festooned with all the obligatory chenille and incense, sharin' a mexican jay of middlin' quality and once this song gets to the quiet interlude you're excused from listening so you can get down to the serious task at hand.

[colossoh10]

wow!

[feztizieo]

@Poisonnachos well look at you. changing the world are you?

[ChocolateHoneycomb]

An absolute bloody failure if there ever was one. Over 8 minutes wasted and filled with almost nothing of interest.

[Gumblert]

HEY GUYS THUMBS UP WITH U AGREE!

[lukuntri]

that song makes me smile.

theres so much emotion in this song

[hollyfigueroa1980]

About halfway through the song it reminds me of a bunch of kittens playing in the musical instruments, walking on the keyboards and batting at the stuff like toys! Picture it and it will change this entire song for you! lol

[MegaMineme]

Those of you that "don't get this" song, it was written in the 60's for the "hippies". If you dropped a hit of orange barrel sunshine and listened to it,,,,it would make great sense to you........dig?? Breck

[AcuteIgnorance]

@MegaMineme I don't do drugs mostly, and I'm not one of those 'proud to be clean' douchebags, but I really find this kind of silly. I've always loved the middle/end part of the song, perhaps more than the vocal parts. If you think that's hard to grasp/listen to, try listening to any modern classical like Xenakis. And saying Robert Fripp's music was for hippies is like saying Zappa's music was for hippies too.

[grangersmith]

@AcuteIgnorance megaminieme, is a idiot,doesn't know what she/he is talking about, opinions are like ass holes everyone has one...

[grangersmith]

@MegaMineme Oh so you lived in the 60's and your an expert on what this song means and why it was written for the Hippies>? Your an idiot...and absolutely wrong! You need to go drop some Orange barrel sunshine (whatever that may be) and think again...Geeeeze!!!!

[crayZtaco7]

@MegaMineme

does being a dumbass hurt much?

[dwc311]

Past like 3:00 the entire songs boring as shit

[grangersmith]

@dwc311 Don't you know how to stop a YT video and go to another one? Poor thing, listened to the whole song and was bored to death, so sorry it's their fault that they wrote it without them writing this song you wouldn't have been bored. We worship and adore you it's all about you, poor master pooor poooor master...LMAO

[dwc311]

@grangersmith what chu know bout King Crimson?

[starbellygrrl]

everytime i hear this song i think of the scene in buffalo 66 with christina ricci. i heart how gallo made her tap along with the bell part...fucking brilliant

[thestone311]

can someone explain to me what the other titles to the songs are? (The Dream, The Illusion) --the song in the court of the crimson king has "included: the return of the fire wtich and the dance of the puppets" as well, what do they mean?

[MorticeUK]

The meaning of our dreams of who we are or maybe could be, complete with all the contradictions in place as musical itterations as the ideal medium of dissatisfaction and ultimate means of revelation of a solution.

[gooner067]

you don't have to like something because it's king crimson or because some review gave it 5 stars.. I love King Crimson, but I could do without the middle part.. i don't listen to this song so often because of that.. if not i would probably have it on repeat..

[52barney]

this is your stepping stone to Mile's Bitches Brew and anything by Sun Ra.

long live Frippotronics.

[ahitler1000]

the people who dont get this , well just aint as big king crimson fan as they think , its about , one time , one place, . . and the music , . . .

[Maj0ra]

I really hate how it basically becomes a "let's fuck around with our instruments' midway through the song. it really ruins the song, IMO.

[unluckyfellow88]

@Maj0ra It´s Jazz... meant to be this way, and that´s why people still love it today. Nowadays music is a whore, designed to perfectly fit into as many ears as possible... offering no secrets to discover, nothing to explore...

[Maj0ra]

@unluckyfellow88 Hey I can 100% respect that view and I pretty much agree, I'd even say it's probably my misinterpretation of the band. idk I feel it really does ruin the flow of it, it's interesting none the less, though.

[lurch321]

@Maj0ra I agree with you on this..............as much as I love the King, they get a little too overindulgent on this one for my taste...............it just goes on too LONG! Would've preferred that it ended sooner and they tagged another song on this album before The Court of the Crimson King.

[Typh0nMagi1]

@unluckyfellow88 I'm with you man :) You can hear two bars of the stuff and you'll have already heard all that it's going to offer you

[martin2sax]

@unluckyfellow88 After the "normal" part of the song they dont play jazz (maby some kind of free jazz) its more like avant garde. Anyway I like it. The abstract thing is fine, but they play too low and make too many pauses in my opinion.

[martin2sax]

It might have anyway jazz influences, but their other songs (21st century schidzoid man and overall I talk to the wind) are closer to jazz. Thats why their from my favourite bands they have huge jazz influences, with rock (prog rock) my favourite genre. If youre intrested you could take a look to fusion bands such as mahavishnu orchestra if you wish

[MrProgaDelic]

The finest album ever created....EVER!

[The0ldg0at]

@MrProgaDelic Was not only an album, I once saw a video of some of the show they made in the free concert in Hyde Park, London, and it was played exactly as on the album they recorded 3 months later.

[thescarletsilence]

Way ahead of their time.

[Kapellard]

Wat is dit toch goed. Dit niveau wordt nu niet meer gehaald.

[Camerinus]

@Kapellard Very true (Google Translation was a great help here).

[lpcrush]

@Kapellard Helemaal waar, mijn vriend.

[93Bukowski]

one of the all time best for me.

[ronaldmcdonald333]

definately one of the best songs i've ever heard. this really makes me want to live.
