Hello!

This afternoon I have to talk about my favourite song. Actually, I don’t have a favourite song, because of I think there are a lot of great songs of different styles of music. Besides, I think songs get other meaning if they are listened in their own context, namely: records. Many times we listen to songs which attract our attention. Even, those songs appear time after time in our minds; we like them and we don't get tired of listening to the same song again and again. But when we listen to the record which the song is part of, the song can be better.

So, I prefer to talk about a record than a song: In the Court of the Crimson King by the English band King Crimson. It is a progressive rock album and it was recorded in 1969. I had heard about King Crimson many times before, but I never listened to their songs and records until two year ago. That time I listened In the Court… and I remember that I thought something as: “wow where were you all my life?”. 

I like it very much because it’s a brilliant album. Their five songs are connected between them perfectly, in such a way that you can imagine a story as you listen to the record (it’s a real trip). Besides musicians who formed King Crimson are geniuses, as much creativity as skills.

I share to you “21^st Century Schizoid Man”, the first song of this record (I would post the full album, but as YouTube administrators and their security policies are friends of copyright policies and great fascists, there are not a video of the full record)
