the version from 40th anniversary tour box as the basis. however it did not contain the full mirrors part. in this version its been added plus all the solos from all of King Crimson live members in the mirrors part. Also included a solo and vocals from Jakko Jakszyk performance in 21st century schizoid band and some parts from 2014 live performance of the new line up. just listen. recorded between 1969-2014. The lyrics of “21st Century Schizoid Man” were written by Pete Sinfield and consist chiefly of disconnected phrases which present a series of images. All three verses follow a set pattern in presenting these images. The first line of each verse presents two relatively vague images (e.g. “iron claw”, “death seed”). The second line is a single image, often more specific than the first two, and the third line approaches an actual sentence. The fourth and last line of each verse is the song’s title.
Clocking at nearly seven and a half minutes, the song is notable for its heavily distorted vocals sung by Greg Lake, and its instrumental middle section, called “Mirrors”. Most of the song is in either 4/4 or 6/8 time, save for the end of the song,
