Procol Harum, "In Held 'Twas in I" (fragmento)

Del disco de "The with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the Da Camera Singers", 1971.

Prefiero esta version en vivo a la version en estudio, cosa de gustos.

Pero esta parte final del track es sin duda sublime.


Fotografias tomadas hace algún tiempo.




Adjunto las liricas:
"I know if I'd been wiser this would never have occurred
but I wallowed in my blindness so it's plain that I deserve
for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear
I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear
of a death that they're not sure of, of a life they can't control
It's all so simple really if you just look to your soul
Some say that I'm a wise man, some think that I'm a fool
It doesn't matter either way: I'll be a wise man's fool
For the lesson lies in learning and by teaching I'll be taught
for there's nothing hidden anywhere, it's all there to be sought
And so if you know anything look closely at the time
at others who remain untrue and don't commit that crime"

Thank you for this great post, patt0x, muchas gracias! What beautiful photographs to accompany this amazing music.

PH fans may be interested to know that Salvo Records have been remastering the entire Procol catalogue. The Salvo reissue of this album also includes a gorgeous live version of Luskus Delph, and two pieces recorded at the rehersal but not included in the original (Simple Sister and Shine on Brightly). The fan site Beyond the Pale has all the details.

Another composition of mine comepletely misconstrued. The angst portrayed in this song is not a symbol of "Good vs.Bad", but of the unbearable feeling of having live cockroaches running around inside of my shirt along with the struggle to remove them forever.

You're welcome! I should have mentioned that the site Beyond the Pale is found at procolharum - usual punction mark - com (there are other similarly named sites I cannot vouch for)

Actually Robin had left a few months prior to this concert. The fretman here is Dave Ball, the very tall chap who only played with PH for about a year. Also new to the line-up was bass player Alan Cartwright, whose arrival allowed Chris Copping to "only" play organ (previously he had been on organ AND bass).
