From the Beginning -- Emerson, Lake & Palmer (in HD)

Maybe it's because the effects from Keith's synthesizer. I always envision cosmic images every time I hear this song. Here it is....hope you like it!

From Wikipedia:

From the Beginning is a song written by Greg Lake and performed by the progressive rock trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was released on their 1972 album Trilogy. It is driven by an acoustic guitar line with layers of electric guitar (both rhythm and lead), electric bass guitar, and sung by Lake, with some backing on drums (played by Carl Palmer with tympani mallets and without cymbals), and with a distinctive closing synthesizer solo from Keith Emerson, accompanied by overdubbed random synthesizer-generated effects. It hit #39 in the US and was their highest charting single.

The song was covered by the heavy metal band Dokken and Czech folk rock band Marsyas, albeit under a different name (Studená koupel) with a Czech version of the lyrics

Lyrics:

There might have been things I missed, but don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind
Perhaps there's a thing or two I think of lying in bed
I shouldn't have said

But, there it is
You see, it's all clear
You were meant to be here from the beginning

Maybe I might have changed and not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done - I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all

You see, it's all clear
You were meant to be here from the beginning

Nice! What a great song.

I always thought it was a shame they didn't get the play time they deserved back in their time

[amkinne]

I love this song still... but the digital rendering misses something, sounds a little tinny. I miss the vinyl and Marantz amp and speakers lended a warmth and lushness that just can't be duplicated.
