Call her moonchild Dancing in the shallows of a river Lonely moonchild Dreaming in the shadows of the willow Talking to the trees of the cobweb strange Sleeping on the steps of a fountain Waving silver wands to the night birds song Waiting for the sun on the mountain She's a moonchild Gathering the flowers in a garden Lovely moonchild Drifting on the echoes of the hours Sailing on the wind in a milk white gown Dropping circle stones on a sun dial Playing hide and seek with the ghosts of dawn Waiting for a smile from a sun child
Imagine listening to this sitting on a high meadow on a full moon's night with the grass dancing in the breeze with the smell of pine in the wind and the screech of a lone owl
This is actually the only one King Crimson song I'm not listening full. But this first 3 minutes are just... GOAT! As every over song from the first album and Starless...
MY absolute favorite piece of Crimson music by far & Their best album by far to me. Just sublime. Hairs on end & goosebumps sounds & words. Makes me want shoom's & to take em & wake up back in the early 70's again!~
A couple of years ago, I made a mixtape of King Crimson songs from 1969-1974. In order to fit all of the tracks from “The Court of the Crimson King” on the tape, I used an older shortened upload of this song, which was unfortunately taken down a day or two later. It’s good to see that there’s now another upload of it.
shoutout à la personne dans le programme cinéma à st-lo qui a mis ça dans son court-métrage sur lui/elle, jvais mm pas à st-lo pis j'ai aucune idée t'es qui mais tu m'a put on sur king crimson. tellement une belle chanson
This part is one of the best pieces of music I've heard, but the other 9 minutes imo just ruin the song. They shouldve just released the perfect 2,5 minutes of it.
This is basically my 1 gripe with the whole album, almost all of the songs go on for far too long with the slow and almost empty instrumental parts, not just Moonchild.
I admit I used to think that the rest of the song was just a waste of time, but then I realised what it's about (the clue is the "including" parts in the name) and suddenly it just made sense.
