Pete Sinfield RIP...so confused
With the exception of Robert Hunter, Pete Sinfield is one of the most important Rock lyricist. Like Robert Hunter he was not in the band as a musician but a writer only. It was my teenage years where I heard these sweet odd songs come from a monstrous band like King Crimson. I took them to my high school rhetoric class and they were impossible by myself and the teacher. He called them Sci-Fi lyrics or at one point that we had to be on some mind altering drug to understand and dissect them. Whatever I thought they were I loved them. Some of the songs he wrote were odd, funny, cerebral, and downright crazy. If you go on this site http://www.songsouponsea.com/Promenade/lyrics/lyrics.html you can search the lyrics to all the songs he wrote along with the album they are on. I personally will choose a few that still have an effect on me and still cannot figure out what he was saying. These lyrics come from his first era of King Crimson 1969-1974. In that time He also wrote for Emerso
