OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VIIII: Nine lives, cat's eyes

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Must have more King Crimson



If you haven’t checked out the YouTube channel the midnight special, you are missing out. Live performances by a wide range of artists, with very high quality video and actual live performances. A fantastic resource.

Bruford's drumming with Yes twists my head in knots. The best way for me to play it was to basically disassociate myself from the music and hope everything else was on time. With Yes it was, because Squire on bass was a freaking legend.

This is levels above that. Musicians playing their own songs......at least to my ears. I love Bruford with Yes, but never got into King Crimson because it was all too chaotic for me.

One of the most uncomfortable songs I have ever listened to. I feel like almost everyone who grows into adulthood knows this exact feeling and it is very hard to describe so well.

In the unlit room with my head in my hands
The walls between us now seem unscalable
I cannot control anything
There are weapons down beside your bed
And every night I count them all

Is this where we've come to? I don't believe it
After everything that we've been through
I don't believe it
Take a look around here
I don't believe it
I look into my own sweet heart
I don't believe it

Oh how they talk about us when we're far away
Behind their frigid eyes they know more than they ever say
They only tell you the truth when they get drunk enough
It's a town of cornered animals, teeth bared
out of control
Is this where we've come to? I don't believe it
After everything that we've been through
I don't believe it
Take a look around here
I don't believe it
I look into my own sweet heart
I don't believe it

And every night I clench my teeth and fail to get to sleep
I cannot bear the stillness drawn across the surface of the world
I have never learned to throw the first punch
Perhaps the more you know the more you get scared
In the end you left on your mission to find a reason for all this pain
And how I wish I'd gone with you over and over and over again

Fantastic song.

But always makes me smirk as he is literally every single 50 year old bloke from Manchester... aside from the fact he is one of the best singers and lyricists ever... like you genuinely see 50 Richard Ashcroft lookalikes a day in Manchester aha.
