| Comments: | Dear Pete,
just found out it is your birthday today ~ congratulations! Hope you spent it well. I have just heard "Still" after quite a long time. It is still as fascinating as in 1973 when I bought the record. Your lyrics for King Crimson and of course the music have accompanied me through my teen years until today... just great! Thanks and a good night Achim |

| Comments: | Dear Mr. Sinfield:
I am 16 years old and have been captivated by your lyrical skills since I was 12, when I first heard "In the Court of the Crimson King." I never used to pay much attention to the words of a song, but the words you write are too well-crafted to overlook. I thoroughly enjoy reading your song lyrics as one would read a collection of poetry... and speaking of poetry, exposure to your work has sparked my interest in poetry in general. Your writing is truly unique, and any time I hear a song whose words you penned, I can find a meaning in them that is relevant to some emotion I have. This is especially true of your song "Envelopes of Yesterday." I would like to thank you for sharing your talent with the world and for showing me how beautiful words can be. -Zazzy- |

| Comments: | I have admired you for over forty years! i Know you poems and lyrics by heart. They are my Peace during difficult times. They have at times been my sanity, bringing me back to reality. You have no idea what peace you words have brought to me! And what confidence they have brought to my soul! If I was granted a wish, it would be to speak to you and share thoughts of past, current and future realities. I have so much to express to you I can hardly think. Thank you, you are my mentor. I write as well, not as well as you but I learn from you. If you "really" read this, "Please"contact me. It might very well be to the advantage of both of us. Really, Please try. I saw King Crimson at the LA convention center in Santa Monice in I think 1973, or there abouts. By some odd course of events I got back stage, went on stage, looked and touched Bruford's drums, the Melatron, etc. Then opend a door and met. Fripp,Wenton,Cross and Bruford in a room and shared coors beer and I think and cornish game hens. And spoke to Fripp when he was leaving in the back of the veneu. Man what a thrill!!

| Comments: | Dear Pete Sinfield,
this is a longshot but 40 yrs ago I lived next door to a Mr Sinfield who lived alone in a house with a large garden and within which Mr Sinfiled unext door sed to let me and my brothers play and roam as most of it was unkempt and allowed to overgrow. I was struck by the similarity in looks between yourself and the Mr Sinfiled I knew in the 60s and 70s when I saw you on a recent BBC 4 tv programme... He lived in the bungalow alone called Fermoy in Vale Road Ash Vale nr Aldershot Hants (but we were in Surrey) at about 105 Vale Rd... I remember Mr Sinfield with affection as he was without relations as I recall apart from an occasional sister who visited once in a blue moon and he was lonely but kindly. I know this is a stab in the dark but hope this is a connection. Kind regards, Nick Wilson |

| Comments: | As far as I am concerned. I have listened to King Crimson music from about 1969/1970, right up till Starless and Bible Black they were a religion. Then for some unknown reason they were made "comercial" by whoever and I lost my interest. But believe me "lizard" is probably the best album for the Psychedelic period, many and acid trip and cool music to come down with. My vote will always be a "yes" for the group in any form untill the change set in. |

"Closer to Believing" with Lake's evocative voicings of your inspired, powerful lyric - has sustained me for years in the saddest of times. I did lay my heart on the table, lit the fires once more, and in the shuffling of dreams she appeared and is with me now.
A sincere and genuine note of gratitude for all that you have created and shared. You are wind-blown. Jerry J in the States |

I spend a lot of time either still playing in a band at 60 or family history. Of course, its a temptation to look at yours for any links, as many Sinfield's find a common source of Bedfordshire. I wondered whether you could help. I have your parents Ian Stanley Sinfield married Deirdre Lane 1942 London.and maybe Percy A Sinfield married Florence E Cheeseman 1909 Fulham. I think Percy might have parents James Sinfield b 1822 Woburn Beds and Sarah ? b 1827 Barnet Herts. Regards Barry Sinfield b 1948 Luton Beds now living in Derbyshire. |

I have a very old LP, "Still" , (I never gave it back), loaned to me many years ago by a much older friend! I wonder if he knows I Still have it? We are talking a long time ago, but we are still here! |

| Comments: | Have been listening to this since its release. Forgive me, but it has been only within these last few years the realization come to me that the reason European, particularly British, bands wrote such heady stuff was the fact that they were educated in the classics, were exposed to the classics and were blessed by that influence. I agree to some extent the lyrics could not have been written with all the material exposed here, but to have this material available on one site tends to keep me here for awhile. Like the new face, kinda miss the old one.

| Comments: | I would like to thank you for giving my life the incredible influence of your music. Just after I watched Eric Von Doniken's "ancient astronauts" I listened to "Moonchild", and something clicked. I was in Northern Minnesota, two years later I was at Macchu Pichu in Peru and it all made sense. Your music was constantly going through my head. This is the beginning of a story I wrote about my trip.
A Day in My Life “Moss covered, the carved rock stairway was as steep as a ladder leading straight up and out of sight into another denser part of the cloud we had been walking in most of the day. More or less out of touch with each other, extremely and frighteningly alone with a visible world of not more than 30 or 40 feet forming a circle around us, above, below, on either side and behind us, in the open space." Thanks for your inspiration in my life. Have a nice day Jim O'Leary |

| Comments: | In the court of the crimson king - in my book, this ranks as the greatest debut album for any rock band - I believe Pete Townshend stated it perfectly - AN UNCANNY MASTERPIECE - I remember some time in 1988 in my student days when I first heard this album with its most standout album cover something like an extreme closeup of a paranoid schizoid face - and each and every one of those songs that I heard then, through the years, and will continue to do so long as I breathe...the poetry, the mood, the lyrical and musical interpretations that merit repeated listening for each time on can draw new meaning...
Just discovered your site ascribing your Poetic Vision...there's a lot of reading to be done and I have always been drawn to myths and legends - thanks Pete an eternal fan ranjit |

| Comments: | Wow! Was searching to view Caspar David Frederick. I'm also a prog-rock fan. King Crimson first LP I love,but the dark vision implies the opposite.I'm a great aficianado of Yes.I'm an artist and modern chan buddhist. in these dark times-we need light,but looking into the hopelessness of the grand scheme are those who rebel.We know that light exist.I see the impenetrable mountains but focus on the silence of the valley. Caspar was NOT exclusively dark, the sunlight and beauty that does exist-he has seen it and painted that too.the chalk cliffs. I've spent about 30 years making art of this nature.And nature speaks to me and it says to live and love ,but watch out too.
It is great to find others who perceive as I do. |

| Comments: | WORDS
Echoes fade away on the evening breeze, Reverberating down empty streets, Only to extinguish themselves, Among the myriad of evening symphonies, Presented and performed, By the millennium of creeks, groans, shudders and moans, Inherited, counterfeited, discovered or invented, By the inhabitants of the Universe, Designed for communication. Sorrowful though they may be. For expressing the true depth of hearts, minds and souls, Words are what we are left with, When it comes to conveying a feeling, wish, desire, or impulse. Oh woe to the intelligent well-read scholar, With his over-abundant vocabulary, Searching out his memory, Spending endless futile hours, Attempting to find the RIGHT WORD!! Only to be discouraged and dismayed, Determined to prove to himself if no one else, That his path is the right one, For his salvation and his understanding of reality. Jim O’Leary November 1977 |

I have been listening to this LP since its release. The discovery of this interpretaion of it has led me down paths that have give a completion of this life, most especially during my return to being a student. Three and one half years in architecture with a change of major to philosophy and the discovery of Eric Hoffer and Bertrand Russell. Have since moved back to New Mexico residing in Alto. What a way to close out a life! Thanks. |

| Comments: | I bought Still in 1974 sometime after an ELP show. Possibly the famous New York Xmas concerts with Greg singing "Silent Night" and the choir sitting behind the stage with snow falling all around. THEN..it was snowing outside as well. Now that was well scripted!
I lost "Still" (the album) to a theif with 100's of other great albums some 20 years ago. I have chills when I think about that song and how great the lyrics were. Greg's voice on that could make me cry! Genius!!! I have been trying to get the CD for 3 years. My CD store ordered it (Japan import) but the company it ordered from went under. So I just reordered again. I hope I get it this time. That album played many, many nights while I lived my life. I hope the knucklehead who stole all my music at least listen to Still before he tried to sell them! Missing great music here in South Florida! |

It was an effective scene. I haven't stopped listening to the track since. I'm trying it on an acoustic 12-string guitar for my solo act. I tune my guitar to the key of C in an E Major position. I'll let you know how that works out. All the Best, JJB |

| Comments: | So, did I get my question answered? No,but the reading was interesting and instructive. Here's the question:. No, first the why. I spent the '60's thru much later having, feeding, changing, burping, loving, furious, weeping, laughing...in other words, I raised 7 children. One thing I refused to do was to listen to their music (Neil Diamond and Bob Denver excepted). Now I am paying attention to music that is wonderful to hear, played at a local book store, and I'm certain it's from the '60 - '70's. One particular song is "Tryin' to Catch the Wind". OK, now here's the question: Who wrote it, and who is singing? The words make me think of Bob Dylin--which is ridiculous since all I know about him is that he's a poet/songwiter and wrote/sang protest and social commentary things. Somewhere I read/heard that his voice wasn't musical at all ("whining")so maybe it isn't Bob Dylin singing; the voice I'm hearing seems beautifully matched to the words. But nobody can tell me who"s singing. Can you? (Surely there aren't many male musicians who have recorded this song. Forgot to mention that there is guitar accompianment.) |
