M62 Song

Written by Robert Fripp, David Giles, Jimi Goodwin, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald, Peter Sinfeld, Andy Williams & Jez Williams

Additional Info:
This song is based on “Moonchild” by King Crimson.
The band lists the writers for the song in the liner notes as: “Williams, Goodwin, Williams, Fripp, Giles, Lake, McDonald, Sinfield,” the last five names being the members of King Crimson who wrote the song.
Musically, it contains a similar guitar riff and a similar melody.
The lyrics here refer to “moonshine,” and the King Crimson song is about a “moonchild,” a personified child of the moon.
The song is called “M62 Song” because it was recorded while driving under a flyover of the M62 motorway in Northenden, a suburban area north of Manchester.
