Emerson, Lake & Palmer - From The Beginning

Από το άλμπουμ Trilogy (1972) των Emerson Lake and Palmer η μουσική πρόταση της ημέρας με τον τίτλο From The Beginning

There might have been things I missed, but don't be unkind

It don't mean I'm blind

Perhaps there's a thing or two I think of lying in bed

I shouldn't have said

But, there it is

You see, it's all clear

You were meant to be here from the beginning

Maybe I might have changed and not been so cruel

Not been such a fool

Whatever was done is done - I just can't recall

It doesn't matter at all

You see, it's all clear

You were meant to be here from the beginning

From the Beginning is a song written by Greg Lake and performed by the progressive rock trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was released on their 1972 album Trilogy. It is driven by an acoustic guitar line with layers of electric guitar (both rhythm and lead), electric bass guitar, and sung by Lake, with some backing on drums (played by Carl Palmer withtympani mallets and without cymbals), and with a distinctive closing synthesizer solo from Keith Emerson, accompanied by overdubbed random synthesizer-generated effects. It hit #39 in the US and was their highest charting single.

The song was covered by the heavy metal band Dokken and Czech folk rock band Marsyas, albeit under a different name (Studená koupel) with a Czech version of the lyrics.
