King Crimson – Frame By Frame

Frame By FrameKing Crimson

King Crimson is a British progressive rock band that has been active for many years, changing its musical style with the times since its formation in 1968.

The track Frame By Frame from their 1981 album Discipline opens with an eccentric intro that immediately grabs your attention.

Its floating melody set over a 7/4 rhythm and the distinctive guitar arpeggios convey the depth of the band’s artistry.

Even the sections in regular time pack a powerful punch—it’s a thrilling number.

King Crimson – Matte Kudasai

Matte KudasaiKing Crimson

When it comes to moments where Japanese lyrics shine in Western music, perhaps none exemplify it better than King Crimson’s heartwarming ballad “Matte Kudasai.” Released in 1981 on the album Discipline, the song’s delicate guitar tones and the poignant Japanese title phrase “wait, please” exude a unique sense of wistfulness.

The performances by renowned musicians—Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp on guitars, Tony Levin on bass, and Bill Bruford on drums—leave a quiet afterglow in the listener’s heart.

It may well be that songs like this, created in pursuit of essence rather than commercial success, hold the secret to being loved across time.
