Enid (song)

"Enid" is an instrumental piece by the British progressive rock band King Crimson, appearing on their 1970 album Lizard.

The song is a short, whimsical, and relatively light-hearted interlude within the otherwise complex and often dark atmosphere of Lizard. Composed by Robert Fripp, "Enid" features a distinctive melody played on oboe (performed by Robin Miller) accompanied by piano and mellotron. It is characterized by its pastoral and almost medieval sound.

While brief, "Enid" provides a moment of respite and serves as a thematic counterpoint to the more challenging and experimental pieces on the album. Its melodic nature and contrast with the rest of the album have made it a noteworthy and memorable track for many King Crimson fans. The title "Enid" is rumored to be named after Enid Blyton, a famous children's author, though this has never been officially confirmed by the band.
