- I TALK TO THE WIND
(McDonald, Sinfield)
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.

Back in 1978, I caught my Mom listening to this on my headphones. She said she loved this. Miss her so much.
i was born in 2003 and can't even imagine what great fun you had back then. can't imagine being born in the 40s like your mother either
@@progrockplaylists late '20s. Glad to hear you're into this stuff. Good music is timeless. To quote a lyric..."teach your children". And we all take the memories with us. ✌
Off topic but I miss the old days of when electronics and other stuff was in its early stages ;-;
@@pchristianzenner904 I'm glad to know there is another generation of king crimson fans
@@pchristianzenner904 You're born in the late 20s??? You're almost a hundred years old?
The flute solo on this song is like a candle in the darkness of this age we're living in.
so true!!
The flute here reminds me of the Moody Blues and their use of the flute back in the late 60s. Haunting
well said..
Curse the darkness, follow the light
Absolutely. This song feels far more relevant to the state of the world than it did in the late 60's.
My mom died yesterday. I had to spend the next twelve hours at work. When I got in my car, this was the first thing I listened to. It made me feel a little bit better. Thank you, King Crimson.
I wish you the best, man. I hope your mother is at peace
I'm so sorry! She loves you!
I'm sorry about your mom. Till you see her again , may God be with you. 🙏🏻
Hope ur doing well gabe
This is rough and I wish you positive vibes.
"Where have you been?"
"I've been here and...I've been there and...I've been inbetween"
I used Peter Sinfield's lyrics to a teacher when i was late for school almost fifty years ago. Sadly, he didn't understand the philosophical content and I got one hours detention instead.
F
Sorry about that, bro...You tried....
👍🤣
Ha!
I'd call you an idiot, but that'd be too lenient
I'm 73 years old and this has been one of my favorite songs all these years wish we still had music playing these days
I'm 31 and It's also one of my favorite songs, for my dad, he has 69. Regards from Mexico :)
A part of my soul is stuck in between the chords of this song...
Hope you'll enjoy this then:

Wait wait wait
You got a soul?
2020 took my soul, doused it in gasoline and charred it
@@xysoldat5073 yeps none would buy it so I kept it in my empty pocket... ^_^
@@procerus3654 2020isn't over and 2021 may bring some other mayhems so keep a little fuel for ulterior purposes !
"In the Court of the Crimson King" - definitely one of the best albums of all time
I bought it as a Sophomore at Northwestern University from the local record store on the strength of the cover alone.
@@pylgrym the cover rocks- it convinced me, too!
The inside cover is just as strange! It always reminded me of a stoned moon man! 🤣
One of the albums of all time indeed
Oui je suis avec toi, incroyable ce son, est de la perfection, délirant et apaisanr
Rest in peace Grandpa 🙏🏼🕊️ 9/19 This is the last song you told me to play for you. ❤️
W grandpa
He picked the right song l
Such a beautiful, almost hypnotic song. Definitely my favorite on the album
Yes - that is also my absolute favorite :
King Crimson: I talk to the Wind (1969 - In the Court of the Crimson King)

Beautiful song. Im not big into prog but love this whole album its like going to church
@@drew23ski Our FM radio station in the 70's would play this on Sunday mornings...
I agree, a great song, instrumentals, vocals, all of it!
I love it too
In the court of the crimson king a masterpiece
This band needs more appreciation and less memes.
@@dread6295 I love Jojo but sometimes the fanbase annoys the fuck out of me
@@dread6295 they need to be seen as legitimate musicians with genius songs instead of just man with tiny face on his forehead who punches people through the chest
UNCANNY
I, for one, discovered this band because of Jojo and ate up all their albums on Spotify. Their music is literally soul catching, I could not stop listening. It hooked me into the court of the Crimson King
Vocals by the great Greg Lake. A brilliant song.
To me. Greg was the best rock singer. He could sing softly, like he does in this beautiful track and then he could go to a powerful voice for any up-tempo track. Not many singers could do that. I'm was a big ELP fan and to see them so many times it was a pleasure to listen to Greg's voice, live.
"great Greg Lake" has a nice ring btw.
A super brillant song, a real masterpiece !
He was a voice of my youth, meant so much, in between Crimson and ELP
Just a beautiful song
I'm just glad the comments section is open. So nice to read everyone's stories and feelings.
I recently showed this to a friend, and though she had no interest in Prog or much rock at the time, she absolutely loved it and asked for similar songs. This music still engages more people to this day, and it's fantastic to see it here on TH-cam as part of that.
King Crimson perfectly fitted in with the psychedelic era, but they themselves were never part of that scene; actually they were rather bourgeois and "classical minded". Fripp himself cannot be called a rock- (or even pop-) guitarist, he plays it in a classical manner and I've never heard him play anything bluesy or something close to rock.
He's very disciplined, but he's also a perfect example of "if it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing" (Duke Ellington).
I was very proud when a professional guitarist publicly said that "Guido has a good blues coming on". I was 12 at the time, and I was rehearsing "Day Tripper" 😂😂😂. I learned from the best, but I still can only imitate Jimi. 😢😢😢
i only found out about this band like a month ago lol
@@rat9041 I can tell
I discovered them very recently and I love all the songs I have heard from them
Sadly, she most likely sees this as another "lo-fi hip-hop chill song" instead of actually appreciating the instruments, composition and deeper meaning of the lyrics. But at least she's listening to it...
My older brother had the album, In the Court of the Crimson King. I used to "borrow' the album when he was not home and listen to this song over and over. I was obsessed with this song. Hearing it again takes me back many decades.
Me too. Except I'd take mescaline or acid & put on headphones.🤣😎
Mysterious and beautiful isn't it!!
Me too , they got mad ,I like the whole album
@Snek definitely not ,just weed is ok
Me too
The flute solo makes me feel like the wind does answer.
The final flute solo is a masterpiece...and we all know it! rip, Ian..... yes......let that solo never end....
Finally, it's back.
My sentiments exactly. 👑
But for how long? Lol
@@Kruegerisgod it's the official King Crimson
@@BichaelStevens What about that?
@@Kruegerisgod think, Mark!
If you are on this wavelength then you have this song for life. Been 52 years for me I believe.
R.I.P Ian McDonald 😞, gracias por esas hermosas notas, por cantar a través de tu flauta e inspirarnos. ❤️💔
Saw him with Foreigner and Rolling Stones 1978.
Also saw King Crimson 3xs but he wasn't in King Crimson.
1974, 1982, 1984
Ian was my buddy for 20 years and now we will All miss him forever.
Just found out today he is the man responsible for my favorite flute solo. May he dance well among the stars.
@@Mynamesalexa I'm pretty sure that was Ian McLagen w/ the Stones in' '78
My error
I’m 64 and have loved Crimson since the beginning. So many good artists. 💕❤️🥰
Ian McDonald’s incredible flute with Greg Lake’s soft vocal. Great combo
Thank you, Daddy David for turning me on to this fine music...RIP.
Greg"s voice was always so reassuring and calm. Miss you, man.
Indeed, the world is a bit sadder these days... 😢
R.I.P. Ian McDonald 1946 - 2022 Thanks for the music!
I dig Greg Lake's Lead Vocal on this classic.
Michael Giles' Drumming is simply perfect!
Ian MacDonald 's Flute solo is so ethereal and so beautiful!
I listened to this track today, February 20,2024, on this rainy day in Highland Park, California.
:3
Fripp being on youtube with Toyah was very healthy for us Crimson fans
To yah... 💖
oh
@@kairosguillot9227 hey bro, depressed as well?
@@NumbGeek Yeah like shit, just commented because of that, best wojack lol.
Guess I’m still new. Toyah?
I love how the drums just flow with the intricacies of all the different instruments this song is truly a masterpiece.
the drummer had a great touch...
Indeed
Le feeling et un toucher volatile, planant
yeah, when i think about this song all i can hear is the perfect groove this drummer delivered, smooth, on point and just acts like it’s flowing in the air along with all the instruments, really on point.
One of the most under-rated drummers of all time. Rich and melodic, he had an intricate yet dramatic touch. One that comes close in this domain was Genesis' Phil Collins.
I drove some drunk friends Home yesterday it was late at night and They were pretty tired so i put on the court of the Crimson king. I obviously skipped 21st century its a tad bit too intense, but when this song came up everyone pointed out how relaxed They felt when it was playing like They could fall asleep at any moment. I like to think that there is some magic to these Notes. Such a masterpiece
Moon child gonna really make them sleep
Real music Great stuff 👌
You are a good man!Greetings from Greece
Should have played them indiscipline, trial by fire
My good friend, rest his soul, and I would sneak into his older sisters room while she was away at college and listen to this song. It was 1973 and we were 11 years old. Thank you King Crimson for introducing me to Prog Rock all those years ago.
God bless KC and all the members of they band, since 1969 up to now.
Great musicians!
Same age as me.... I heard it on radio caroline... And went got my own copy
Sweet Times!
the most underrated track on the album imo
The guitar harmonics always get me - and of course the wonderful flute solo. RIP Mr McDonald .
L0😢 1:31
Some of the Best drums in history. Do delicate. What a touch. On The whole album. Great lineup on this first album.
You would never no by the intro track of this album of what was to come.
It almost turned me off from listening to the rest of the album. Luckily I saw your comment and found the rest of it EXCELLENT!!! Thanks
lmao I saw ur comment in the intro video LOL
Such a diverse selection of music on this album; part of what makes it SO great.
*know
@@v-town1980 lol, English major here. Either people don't have auto correct, they can't spell or they don't care. I gave up a long time ago
This is a landmark moment in copyrighting history Robert Fripp finally lets up on copyright issues
but only a little bit
I don't care..I've owned this album for ages...
@skippy62able v He's gonna buy you if you ever talk down to him again
How the fuck is the sound quality so good on this album. I'm not even listening on a high end system but I'm just blown away.
They didn't play this song loud & certain studios just had that touch on recordings.
I think KC takes care of the quality and mastering of their products... this one is excellent... Also, those dudes knew what they were doing in 1969...
Yeah. This had amazing production. God knows how they afforded it
Touch of the Master’s hand.
Recorded on 2-tracks tape with 1 who was not very efficient ! What if with 48 ? Surely not the same magic...
The song you will always be remembered for, Ian.
Rest in Peace.
Greg will sing with you again.
I was fortunate to experience a King Crimson concert at the Eastown Theater in Detroit in 1971. Their music soared & so did I. Timeless....
omg! you saw them at the east town? you are a lucky dude! i did see ELP at the east town, but king crimson ruled! i am jealous, but happy for ya!
Finally!
One of the most beautiful songs in existence.
Thank you for uploading this masterpiece, thank you for the album.
Michael Giles is making the drums sing here, such feel man such feel.
Playing busy drum parts quietly is a real feat.
one of the first quiet songs i heard that made me think " holy shit this drummer is nuts"
Tripped to this album on acid once and it was one of the most unique experiences of my life. Much love.
This song takes me to a place that I can't explain, it empties my mind
4:48 A friend of mine originally introduced me to this album when we were in high school. He always said this part of the song reminded him of Final Fantasy music for some reason, like it would play in a peaceful village, and I agreed with him.
Years later I found out Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for the Final Fantasy series, is a huge King Crimson fan, and was heavily inspired by King Crimson and ELP, it all sorta made sense.
I was born in 1981, I can’t believe I haven’t listened to this until now.
This was recorded in 1968! I did not discover it until 1972, when I was in high school.
Welcome!
was born in 2006, and i feel the same way
I was born in 2001, we are in the same situation!
hey man! it's never late to discover new music!

Thank you!
PEACEFUL BEAUTIFUL 💜☮️
This is gold
Reminds me of times when life used to be calm and peaceful
Life was never peaceful, there was war when tis song was launched. But I do get your point, nostalgia is very powerful
When was life ever calm and peaceful for anyone?😂😂
1969 a Beautiful year with my Princess 👸 ❤️ I wish I could be with her forever.
Every time I listen to this wonderful Song I Remember my dear friend Paolo who died nearly 30 years ago. He liked staying with friends, laughing, having a beer together and listening to King Crimson...❤️
@@nova............ ❤️❤️
This might be the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
funk+chopin
I think my favourite Greg Lake vocal has to be from‘Closer to believing’ sublime voice also with Peter Sinfield lyrics
I am a simple man. I see King Crimson, I click. I find out I Talk to the Wind is back I stayed.
First album I bought with my own money.Still magical after all these years
One of the most peaceful and beautiful King Crimson songs ever written with great hypnotic flute playing
RIP Greg Lake and Ian McDonald
Robert Fripps' guitar is pure melody in its subtlety, just like the rest of this timeless masterpiece song.
It feels like the lyrics tell me about my life. I really feel it in my heart.
King Crimson has a way of making you feel the full experience of whatever emotion they want to convey. Fear, grief, hopelessness, joy, nostalgia, they are masters of sound.
Bellissima canzone di grande atmosfera. Stupendi King Crimson!!! Sono passati tanti anni e io ascolto ancora con passione questa canzone.👍❤️❤️❤️
This album was so unique and original in 1969. The level of talent, individually and collectively, was breathtaking.
Giles's drum sound was beautiful, Ian's talent on so many instruments was otherworldly and Greg's voice was the best.
The wind cannot hear🎶 heavenly track, how beautiful and emotional was Lake's voice - this just feels like a caress. He placed an everlasting mark in so many hearts!
His voice was an instrument RIP Greg Lake
Greg Lake is sorely missed by millions. The voice of Crimson
So effortless.
@@agtbruinsman7190 Don't forget ELP.
A favourite song of mine. I love this composition, lyrics and everything. I heard this after the winter when the leaves fall and i walked alone on a village road...
This can really touch inside...
'73, second year at the high school ( gymnasium ) unforgettable song album group era...now i' m go fishing ( same sensations..), for sure i will listen It again...
RIP to the great Ian McDonald. His contributions to this album are huge and he was definitely one of a kind! Rest easy, legend!
God damn perfection
pretty close
@@mikepatrick5909 close enough
@@mikepatrick5909 what is perfection to you?
@@Mxulin Perfection is something that is never achieved it is only strived for...
@@mikepatrick5909 true my dude
Never soared as much as on this incredible "psychedelic" album, I could never thank Robert Fripp and all the members of the group enough ! !
This song has helped me through more than I like to admit. There was a time where I was going through so much mentally and nothing in the world felt relatable to me except for this song. I'd have felt completely alone without it.
@@lynnhenson3042 Not sure exactly what you're trying to imply but sure! 👍
2:41 Holy cow what a drum fill.
Probably the most lyrical drumming I've ever heard.
@@amramjose Giles was great. Also check out B.J. Wilson of Procol Harum.
The groove after is equally amazing, almost bossa nova influenced
This album is so beautiful.
This song is a stand alone gem. Obviously, so too is the song that precedes it, "21st Century Schizoid Man". Listening to them back-to-back as they track on the album pretty much defines "mind-blowing." No drugs required.
Stand?
The transition between 21st Century Schizoid Man and I talk to the wind is the single most beautiful transition between songs in existence.
@@DinoDiniProductions Definitely the most distinctive! From darkness and chaos to peace and light
The whole of this album is wonderful (with the possible exception of the instrumental in Moonchild).
@@portcullis5622the dream section of moonchild accomplished what it set out to do, it feels almost exactly like the wacky brain noise you get from stirring in the night in some strange dream.
The best song off this album imo definitely a top 10 King Crimson song
What a beautiful brilliant.
RIP Ian McDonald.
Such a beautiful song.. hooked me back around '73. First thing I played when I heard Ian died. R.I.P...
Every song in this album is perfect istg
my dad listened to king crimson on cassettes 30years ago and now im smoking a j on my rooftop with him listening to this song. such a beautiful hypnotic sound. i'm so glad he made me discover this type of peace
I am sitting here with tears pouring down. Lovely to think that you have such a bond with your dad. Wonderful and thanks for posting.
You are a lucky man
This song is so beautiful and calming. It’s as close as I could get to an old time quaalude! Genius band
Rorer had much better quality than Lemmon
Excelente melodía, tremenda interpretación del King Crimson, me trae gratos recuerdos...
This takes me back to my college days in 1972 Carbondale SIU getting high and listening to this glorious music that literally transported our reality. Oh to be young.
My favorite!Greetings from Greece
R.I.P. Ian McDonald... Thank you for the music!!! We love you...
Fantastic song and playing by all musicians; exquisite flute solo by Ian McDonald and great vocals by Greg Lake, both now sorely missed. Have been listening to this since the early’70s. Thank you, King Crimson.
I love you mister
Incredibile! Sono passati 50 anni ed ancora ascoltare questo capolavoro mi commuove e fa venire la pelle d'oca.
Anche per me sono passati 10 lustri, e mi emoziono molto. Buon segno.
i saw king crimson on my 16th birthday perform these songs live.. purple microdot days.. the lyrics mean more than then now still stuck in my brain. i love this band and its evolution
Absolutely beautiful song ➕ the flute ❤
Robert Fripp is one of the most Eloquent Guitarist.. a genius and one of my favorite 🎸
RIP Ian McDonald. Thanks for the beautiful music. We miss him!🌹🙏😢
even before ELP, Greg Lake was an amazingly talented musician and a beautiful singer.
J'écoutais cet album quand j'avais vingt ans, maintenant j'en ai soixante douze ! Je l'écoute toujours sur la disque vinyl avec toujours autant de bonheur, ca me transporte quelque part...au delà des cieux... Un petit chef-d'oeuvre !
Having Read all the posts here about this masterpiece , I have got a sense of a great warmth, love to you All. RIP Ian ! You will be loved forever for this
TH-cam, please, for god's sake, DON'T TAKE DOWN THIS VERSION I BEG YOU.
It's not yt, it's whoever owns king crimson s music

Download it b4 YT does FFs
An please dont turn off the comments.
This is official, calm down
RIP Greg Lake, great and gently voice of my youth
What a wonderful song! Deberia ser Patrimonio de la Humanidad!!!!
RIP, my brother Tony Boy. You taught me MUSIC. May perpetual light shine upon you. 😇😇😇
Hermosa melodía que me ha acompañado gran parte de mi vida.. gracias King Crimson
Best song on the album.
Exceptional Drumming... and the flute, Heavenly...
I'll follow Lake's talking to the wind for ever. Lake is in my mind!
The greatest and most beautiful flute solo ever recorded.
This tune just stops me in my tracks and I reflect on my life...then cry...Great Tune thanks for posting 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🌹🌺🌹❤️
Flute + drums + voice = absolute heaven
A debut album. A cornerstone of any serious collection.
Perfect song! I've always loved Ian's flute solo! So hypnotic!
King Crimson allowed me to navigate through a very unhappy high chapter of my life and added intelligence to my musical appreciation. I am forever grateful for their contribution. I've met Robert Fripp and drummer Bill Bruford and I asked Bill during a drum clinic if Michael Giles, the original drummer for King Crimson, if he had not established a legacy for future King Crimson percussionists and Bill woke up in the midst of a boring class and nodded saying he loved the way Michael Giles used his cymbals and press rolls on his snare. Bill Bruford was very approachable and responsive where as Robert Fripp is just as eccentric and quirky as you'd expect Mister Spock of rock to be. Andy McCullough was the 2nd King Crimson drummer in their 3rd album "Circus" and I commented to Bill that Andy emulated the style of Michael Giles and Bill agreed saying Andy was a good friend of his. Great times.
That flute is everything
The final minute of this track has been my ringtone for 1+ years and will remain so for the rest of my life. Greatest album of all time.
lets hope fripp dosent come to copyright that
Yo is that EL-P
