King Crimson - Model Man

MODEL MAN

Look at the signs
Look at the symptoms
Look at the slight
Calm before the storm
I feel the silence
I feel the signals
I feel the strain
Tension in my head
Well, what more can be said...

Not a model man
Not a saviour or a saint
Imperfect in a word
Make no mistake
But I
Give you everything I have
Take me as I am...

[TheLogan]

Made me cry like a baby when I saw this live

[lightdotogam]

Of course he's not a model man, he's wheels

[not_ryuka]

Honestly, one of my favourite King Crimson songs.

[unrealwaifu]

belew's vocal really shined in this track

[helfmeyerglenn]

This song pulled me through a bad break-up in my life !! Even as i acknowledge that I'm not a model

[humanman]

This is my 3rd year of discovering King Crimon. even though by now i could've been done with all the materials related to KC, I am still working my ways through this album as well as the remaining ones.

Model Man, while still fresh to my ears, has proven to me that King Crimson is indeed a band no one can replicate nor imitate.

To be honest, most of my teenage years were influenced greatly by King Crimson. Currently i am 18. But perhaps as i look back in my life. I think this band will give the emotional rollercoaster of my life. Be it for the best or for the worst.

Thank you Robert Fripp, for opening my eyes.

Buying this album in the 80's was a good move.

[Andrew-riqo]

80s King Crimson is amazing, so inventive and different from what came before.

[CapKuchikiByakuya]

One of the most underrated song of the band.... definitely it is on my top 5 of the songs of the King.

[jeffreykinart]

Adrian Belew's the greatest musician/guitarist of the last 50 years.

[paulsantamaria]

The long rests between Levin' bass notes make this song's verses work.

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

The guitars in this track... They create an intertwining of pure wonder. 🎸

[lordkarel]

Favorite track off of this album.

Thanked my parents many times for owning good speakers and an LP of this as a kid because Belew seems cranked way up in the OG mix and it's stunning.

[MrPrincebass]

My favorite Kc period. Just phenomenal music. Totally original.

[johnwerkheiser]

This was the album that turned me onto KC. Saw them for the first time two summer's ago. So many missed shows, I will never forgive myself!

[lordstanley]

Saw this live at the Beat show in September at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando... just amazing; couldn't stop grinning all night.

[caiosoares]

Peak 80s Crimson. If it wasn't for this track i wouldn't have even been interested in listening to ToaPP.

[cochisenahuh]

Showing love to bruford's solid beat. What a groove.

[octo]

This is (currently) the 69th most popular track on the KC youtube channel.
