Lyrics:
Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss
Ah, this is a girl who had everything
Finds she's nothing at all
Now the wind seems so cold
Seems so old as it laughs at her fears
And her tears
And as ducks swim away from her
Visions of past love appear
In her tears
She sees love in his face as she tells him to go
And so here's a girl who had everything
Finds she's nothing at all
What would she say if she saw him, yeah
Now that she's gone, man, you're losing
Now you can see what she's seeing, yeah
For sure she's more than just choosing
Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by
With a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by
With a sigh
She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss
Ah, this is a girl who had everything
Finds she's nothing at all

Discovering this band feels like finding some leftover music from an alternate dimension where these guys were the biggest band in the world in the 70s and some of their music made its way crossing over into our dimension where it's little known but highly appreciated.

I was introduced to GG by my sister, Katherine. She's 4 years older than me. She bought the Free Hand LP. I deeply listened to it - Marantz sound system with tri-axial speakers/15" woofers... GLORIOUS. That and Aja by Steely Dan. Oh, yeah... there was Boston around then, too... Lot's of great stuff. GG is EXTRAORDINARILY SPECIAL.

ELP is pretty good,cant stand Yes or Genesis. Tend more towards Krautrock than Brit Prog though even though the time signatures are definitely crazy and very experimental to this day. Bands like CAN,Neu!,Amon Düül ii,Mythos, Wallenstein,Hölderlin,etc. I do also enjoy Camel though alongside ELP and GG though.

I often hear similarities between GG and JT. I think if you look at when the music was recorded it seems that Gentle Giant was having at least as much influence on Tull, if not more, than the other way around. This was recorded before Aqualung was released. The main influence I hear in this tune is Genesis.

I feel like Gentle Giant Ballenger being nerdy and esoteric and overly technical in a way a lot of other Progressive Rock Bands didn't and still do not. The issue with contemporary Prog is it completely lacks songwritting and being able to balance out the odd time signatures or fantasy nerd type melody sections with a sense of wit and charm. The other approach here ofc would sort of be to be physically overpowering and sort of apocalyptic which I think is what ELP did. Theory isn't a necessity and only works if it adds as opposed to subtracts from the music too and you can definetely see how this music kinda ate itself but these older bands really do have a sort of kitschy charm to them. The good ones at least are I think very witty and very charming. The bad ones are just obnoxious and fedoraish.
