If there is one group that embodies progressive rock, it is King Crimson. Led by guitar/Mellotron virtuoso Robert Fripp, during its first five years of existence the band stretched both the language and structure of rock into realms of jazz and classical music, all the while avoiding pop and psychedelic sensibilities.
In dating site ads, when they ask the "About Me" section I always write "I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress..."
i feel like i read somewhere that the lyrics are inspired by a letter from one of the band member's wives who was describing a sculpture she had made.
the more i hear it, the more i like it. i do think its good. the fact is no matter how closely i study it, no matter how i take it apart, no matter how i break it down, it remains consistent. i wish you where here to hear it!
I repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understressI repeat myself for don't understress
ha, that's funny - it's such a positive-sounding yet completely unclear series of utterances - maybe that's art for you: emotion detached from subject matter, so the audience can free-associate & relate
@erikm12 and @SupernalOne : thats the story I heard. It nearly drove me nuts trying to figure it out for the longest time too, (the more I looked at it... no matter how much I [took] it apart... no matter how I [broke] it down...)
His wife's sculpture... stuff it, I'll accept that story. :D
I do remember one thing... it took hours and hours and by the time i was done with it I was so involved i didnt know what to think I carried it around with me for days and days playing little games like not looking at it for a whole day and then looking at it to see if i still liked it I DID!!!!!
@plismdp I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat my self when under stress I repeat... The more I look at it... The more I like it. I do think it's good, the fact is, no matter how closely I study it, no matter how I take it apart, no matter how I break it down... It remains consistant. I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SEE IT!
@theturkishgamer1 no bitch ,this is heavy metal.so shut the fuck up i can tell genres apart.

The opening minute or so or The Mars Volta's "Day of the Baphomets" borrows heavily from this, I think.

@SupernalOne I think Belew based it off of a letter he got from his wife describing a sculpture or something that she made.
