Peter Sinfield biography

Peter Sinfield biography

Peter SINFIELD is probably the best lyricist ever. Nobody has been able to transmit such intense emotions with words. Only his first work, "In The Court Of The Crimson King" deserves this title. It goes from the panic and history of "21st Century Schizoid Man" to the sadness and anger of "Epitaph", the criticism of the stupid ness of the Hippy movement in "I talk To The Wind", or the private and intimate love and passion of "Moonchild". An amazing and unbelievable work that he continued over the years, lets mention his irony in "Happy Family", the isolate ness of "Islands", the lascivity of "Ladies Of The Road". Just amazing how far away he has been able to go in the transmission of so many different emotions.

He was considered a member of KING CRIMSON (1969-1972) although he never played or sang a single note with them, he just take care of the lyrics and the lights at the live shows. Beside this he has worked with such important people in the history of Progressive Rock as EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, PFM or ROXY MUSIC. But his influence has trespass to other areas of music, as he has composed material for such known artist as CHER or CELINE DION too.

He has only edited an album, Still of his compositions and poems. He revisited twenty years after with some friends, and just watching the list of collaborators you will have a sharp idea of who Peter SINFIELD is.
