Blind Love
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Tears running all down my cheeks
Yes, standing at my window
Tears running all down my cheeks
Well, i could see the woman i'm loving
Stopping everyone in the world she meets
Well, standing on the corner
Between 35th and main
Well, standing on the corner, people
Between 35th and main
Yeah, that's where a blind man's seen my woman
People, a dumb man called her name
He said, "oh, i'm blind
You brought eyesight and made me see"
"oh, i'm blind
You brought eyesight and made me see"
Yes, and the dumb man asked a question
"woman, who may your good man be?"
Yes, i'm standing by trembling, people
People, my heart's laying in my hand
I'm standing by trembling, darling
With my heart's laying in my hand
Well, i could hear my baby say
"lord, i ain't got no man"
Blind Love - King Crimson
King Crimson's "Blind Love" stands as a quintessential example of the band's progressive rock evolution, blending complex time signatures with melodic sensibilities characteristic of their late 1960s and early 1970s output. The track exemplifies the group's signature approach, where intricate guitar work and rhythmic precision serve a driving, atmospheric narrative rather than traditional verse-chorus structures. As a standalone recording, it captures the band's ability to maintain high energy while exploring abstract musical concepts, reflecting the broader influence of the British progressive movement on global rock music. The composition remains a staple for fans of the genre, showcasing the band's commitment to pushing technical boundaries and creating immersive sonic landscapes that defined their catalogue.
