From the Beginning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From the Beginning is a song written by Greg Lake and performed by the Progressive Rock trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was released on their 1972 album Trilogy. It is an essentially acoustic song played on acoustic guitar with layers of electric guitar and electric bass guitar and sang by Lake with some backing on drums and a little keyboard playing. It hit #39 in the US and was their highest charting single. However, it faded from view, due to the lack of a strong chorus. The song was covered by the Heavy Metal band Dokken.
