... Ahhh.... "Man-Music" (even if I was only 15 or 16) still rings true. Though listening to the lyrics now...? It's pretty trite stuff with a rich baroque feel. Like the phony Rolls-Royce-looking front-ends they used to stick on Beetles...

Great song from a great album, well suited to chemically enhanced listening. Also the coolest cover art of all time.

First part of set was a bit iffy then kicked up a notch and they were great
Sad but during the 70s I wanted to look like Greg Lake - now in 2010 Greg Lake looks like me :-(
Heh. I wanted to look like Palmer. Came pretty close until I started to enjoy food a bit too much. |

From one of the best albums EVER! ELP at their best IMO,(and several others). A great sleeve too.

Is it important to have been stoned the first time you heard this? That's the only way I can figure out its apparent appeal.

I got it and you are correct, sir! I don't know why High Rez audio didn't catch on. I've recently gotten the two Tom Petty releases, Mojo and Damn the Torpedoes in Blu-Ray with the high resolution audio in surround and stereo. You even get to download the CD tracks in .wav or mp3! |

I love the line "Someone get me a ladder!"
But it would have been more powerful if the lyrics had been like this:
Gazing up beneath your window, I get a little sadder
A little MADDER!
SOMEONE GET ME A LADDER!!!
(Visualize the singer gazing up beneath his lover's bedroom window (or balcony) and growing more and more insane with desire eventually shouting "SOMEONE GET ME A LADDER!!!", which he desparely needs so he can climb up and join his lover in her bedroom) |

Santa brought me "Mountains Come Out of the Sky - The Illustrated History of Prog Rock" by Will Romano for x-mas.
Of course, a nice chapter on ELP (among others) innit...

Love the song (but especially acoustic versions) and even the line "someone get me a ladder." Makes sense in the context — Lake was writing about his female fans whose ... um, enthusiasm sometimes inspired some elaborate escape plans.  And Bill, another vote here for Pirates! |
