King Crimson - I Talk to the Wind

Songwriters: I. MCDONALD, P. SINFIELD, M. GILES, G. LAKE, R. FRIPP

I Talk to the Wind
Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between.

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me.

You don't possess me
Don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

@BassGuyGG, you know 21st Century was the first song a bass player ever used distortion. On the other hand, I listened to this song every day after my lover (significant other) of 18 years passed away of cancer. He was 26 years older than me and he turned me onto this album. My background was in skater punk, Misfits, Black Flag, Bad Brains but my older lover turned me onto beautiful music like this. I miss him more than the world. RIP Jim.

I have satellite radio and they never play King Crimson. What is up with that?

[TheFriendsofOllie]

No at all, I'm sure.

Why dont we go at the same time? At the count of three. Ready?

[karinalhaze]

I do too, but i can´t play it. My old record player don´t understand any reasons and refuses to play the long plays. Great musif from all the times.

Barry Godber made the album cover to reflect The Schizoidman, Greg lake claims on the day Barry showed them the art work, they had only just finished recording 21st century schizoidman. Shortly after (a few days) Barry died of a heart attack, So it has quiet a special impact.
