The best song ever..about a painting. Great lyrics, harmonies and restrained licks from Mr Fripp
One of those songs that just never goes away, even almost 40 years later.
I took a bath with my iPod last night, and this came up... Looks like Wetton performed it in the late 90's?
King Crimson has got their gravitas meter maxed out on this rendition of The Night Watch.
Friday we tweeted about the Rijksmuseum's Rembrandt stunt; this reminded us of King Crimson's "The Night Watch," based on the same painting. Enjoy!
A powerfully beautiful song with lovely lyrics shooting an amazing sensitivity for a time long gone.
