Gregory Stuart “Greg” Lake (Poole, 10 novembre 1947 – 7 dicembre 2016). è stato uno degli artisti più influenti del rock. Ha militato in band leggendarie, King Crimson,Emerson, Lake & Palmer ed Emerson, Lake & Powell.
Per ricordarlo ho pensato di postarvi il brano Trilogy, estratto dall’ omonimo album del 1972 degli ELP. Autentico capolavoro di rock progressive, il disco fu registrato con l’ allora nuova tecnica delle 24 tracce.
Testo: Emerson Lake & Palmer – Trilogy
I’ve tried to mend
The love that ended
Long ago although we still pretend
Our love is surely coming to an end
Don’t waste the time you’ve got to love again
We tried to lie
But you and I
Know better than to let each other lie
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
Counting up the time that’s passed us by
I’ve sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
And if it does I hope that you will understand
That I must leave in a while
And though I smile
You know the smile is only there to hide
What I’m really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride
Goodbye…
Goodbye…
We’ll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent
Together penniless and free
You’ll see the day another way
And they could put the sunshine
For a nighttime where you lay
You’ll love again I don’t know when
But if you do I know that
You’ll be happy in the end
