Lyricist Pete Sinfield died last month.
His most famous work was done with King Crimson for whom he came up with the name and wrote most of the lyrics for the first four albums though he didn’t play on them.
I have featured his work before since he wrote the English language lyrics for Italian group Premiata, Forneria, Marconi (PFM.) The World Became the World is a prime example of Sinfield’s art.
He was also responsible for the words of Greg Lake’s great Christmas hit I Believe in Father Christmas.
Later in Sinfield’s career he moved more to pop and wrote songs for, among others, Leo Sayer, Cher, and even Think Twice for Celine Dion.
This is a haunting piece from King Crimson’s debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King.
