    And Karl, this remains the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

    A VERY sad day for me, and clearly for his family and fans. Probably the single most influence on my song writing from '93-2004. An underrated genius who mixed the Stones with Minneapolis R&B (Prince). A FANTASTIC producer as well. I hung out with his son at The Roxy in Hollywood one night not knowing it was his son, LOL. Move on laddy. They are going to LOVE wherever you are going now.

    Many years ago
    He looked out through a glassless window
    All that he could see was Babylon
    Beautiful green fields and dreams
    And learn to measure the stars
    But there was a worry in his heart
    He said
    How could it come to this?
    I'm really worried about living
    How could it come to this?
    Yeah, I really wanna know about this
    Is it like today?
    Uh, uh-uh
    Then there came a day
    Moved out 'cross the Mediterranean
    Came to rest on isles and the Greek young men
    And with their silver beards they laughed
    At the unknown of the universe
    They could just sit and guess God's name
    But they said
    How could it come to this?
    We're really worried about living
    How could it come to this?
    Yeah, we really want to know about this
    Is it like today?
    Oh, oh-oh
    Then there followed days of kings
    Empires and revolution
    Blood just looks the same
    When you open the veins
    But sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone
    But the furrowed brow has never left his face
    He said
    How could it come to this?
    We're really living in a landslide
    How could it come to this?
    Yeah we really wanna know about this
    Is it like today?
    Oh, oh-oh
    Then there came a day
    Man packed up, flew off from the planet
    He went to the moon (to the moon)
    To the moon (to the moon)
    Now he's out in space, hey, fixing all the problems
    He comes face to face with God
    He says
    How could it come to this
    I'm really worried 'bout my creation
    How did it come to this
    You're really killing me you know
    It isn't just today
    Oh, oh-oh
    Is it like today?
    Eh? Ah
    Is it like today?
    Oh, bang
    Ooh
    Many years ago
    He looked out through a glassless window
    Didn't understand much what he saw

    Beautiful song. The sad news of Karl’s passing has brought me here. This song also reminds me of Steve Wright who also sadly passed too young recently. I remember Steve playing this song a lot on his afternoon show on Radio 1 when I was a teenager. Steve R.I.P. Karl R.I.P. your music lives on for us to enjoy.

    I was 15 when I first heard this on the radio back in 1993. It mesmerised me straight away. I managed to tape it off the radio and would play it over and over, I still have the cassette ! For years I never knew who even sung the song. 43 now and it’s still one of my all time favourites, hearing it still takes me back to my teenage years. It’s amazing the effect certain songs can have on emotions and senses.

    I discovered this song after my spiritual awakening. It popped up randomly in one of my spotify radios. That moment was magical, like something speaking to me through song. Music is eternal, and these people they achieved that level of consciousness and passed it through song, which is timeless and can pass from generation to generation.
