Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me

Pay no attention to what's said.
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams
Is over my head.
Do nothing till you hear from me,
At least consider our romance.
If you should take the words of others you've heard,
I haven't a chance.
True, i've been seen with someone new,
But does that mean that i've been untrue?
When we're apart,
The words in my heart
Reveal how i feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memories,
And other arms may hold a thrill,
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will.
~interlude~
Some kiss may cloud my memories,
And other arms may hold a thrill,
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will.
Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
King Crimson's 'Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me' stands as a defining track of progressive rock, showcasing the band's signature fusion of jazz improvisation and complex time signatures. Recorded during the mid-1970s, the song exemplifies the group's evolution from their earlier psychedelic experiments into a more structured yet still avant-garde sound. Featuring the distinctive interplay between guitar and bass, the recording captures the collaborative intensity that characterized the band's live performances and studio sessions of the era. As a staple of their discography, the piece remains a critical example of the genre's ability to blend technical proficiency with atmospheric depth, influencing countless subsequent acts in progressive and fusion music.
