Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 21
Lucky Man
Remembering Keith Emerson and Greg Lake through this celebrated progressive rock song.
“A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died”

Pete Townshend once said “the simple things are now complicated”. This line came to mind as I was reflecting on the Emerson Lake and Palmer masterpiece ‘Lucky Man’. Greg Lake wrote this timeless tr…

Im milden Zwielicht eines verregneten Abends in London, als die nassen Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen im Schein der Straßenlaternen glitzerten, beginnt die Geschichte einer Band, deren Klanglandschaften und unkonventionellen Arrangements das Genre des Progressive Rock revolutionierten. Ein leises Gitarrenarpeggio erklang aus einer kleinen Bar in der Nähe des Fulham Palace, als Robert Fripp, ein ambitionierter Gitarrist mit visionären Ideen, und seine Weggefährten – bald darauf als King Crimson bekannt – ihre ersten Töne zusammentrugen. Die Atmosphäre war elektrisierend, als Musikliebhaber das Versprechen einer neuen musikalischen Ära spürten, in der Grenzen zwischen Rock, Jazz, Klassik und experimentellen Klängen verschwimmen sollten.

A Christmas tradition.
Merry Christmas from Ted Tocks Covers!
“I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas you get you deserve”

Merry Christmas to all of my Facebook friends! Today I feature my favourite Christmas song. The version I share is by no means the original, but it is so remarkable in its presentation I have share…
And this is the original with full orchestration. The sublime and powerful video accompanying the single release, composition by the multi talented Greg Lake, lyrics by Greg Lake and Peter Sinfield.
Not a bad effort to recognise 50 years since the release of the only Christmas song I want to hear.
