In 4 minutes and 15 seconds Ian constructs a profound trilogy, questioning the rise and fall of the human condition, and all it's fallacies laid bare....
Hmm..don't remember other groups so complex, so substantial. So efficient.
I would trade all the lyrics I've heard in the 21st century for:
STUMBLED ON A DAFODILL, WHICH SHE CRUSHED IN THE RUSH..
Stumble denotes that she "came across" a flower. Simultaneously it connotes that she found the flower she crushed. The sensitivity to "trip" on a flower that was harmed by stumbling over such a seemingly insignificant item. Like stumbling on a root or a rock. But no, it was a flower that set her off balance even as she made the indescretion of it's destruction! Such subtley.
WE are the more music to come. Nice we had such a soul to tell it like it is. Hell, he wasn't even interested in legacy (rare). If any artist was ever present in his life while he lived (parallel Stanley kubrick?)! He was just denoting observations, feelings, truisms as he saw them fleet by. In the aging seclusion, the imminent sense of time passing, that we are everyone was timeless and ahead of his time. Aqualung, you poor old sot, you see it's only me. There's a little Aqualung in all humans.
Beautiful song, I love the seat of the sound that flows through the music - the luminescent flute wafting among the intertwined oaken staves of the rustic Seat that still grows, though it is culled to build the chair, leaves sprouting like the promise of more music to follow and the musing of the growing acorn kernels nestled in the back of the Seat. :) Truly where I see Ian Anderson, when he has dropped to both legs and contemplating the natural world and conversing with her guardian, Pan. :)
..."touched by the lose of our own...and the poor broken head brought some tears to the snow." For My Uncle who sang Jethro Tull and Alice Cooper and the Allman Brothers.It's only the giving that makes you...what you are.
No PERFECT man would need (indeed, be capable of achieving!) salvation. NO. It's we want things, that we are wanting, that makes life necessary, makes us interesting, gets us to empathize with the rest of humanity as brothers. Those who want, and don't take more than they need and will put to good use, are those who get it all. Those who hoard beyond necessity, greedily take another's son's bread out of his mouth has only that temporal reward. Those who forgive humanity and lend a hand, eternal.
I'm commemorating this moment and a tribute to this pioneer, this Bard of rock! Thank you for putting this song on the net for all incurable romantics who remember what a genius of angst the Jethro Tull company was! They knew how to be pissed off in a positive way. Sure full of flaws and there's a little Aqualung in every man worth his salt! But we're human beings godamnit! Not machines adding up money or war losses as victories of how much we got over on our neighbor. Looking to the other side!
The excrement bubbles, the century's slime decays and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say it's under control and we'll soon be on our way to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain. (in case you missed it) You've been fed a bunch of bullshit. The government's only interest is money and power and power to move money. The individual who doen't like it, doesn't get a piece of the pie because he values life.
WOW! When did he write this!? I know Wondring aloud, but this sequel is like an embittered version of the same man. Was this an outtake from Aqualung!?
Tull, spokesperson for the real man, pissed off about raw deals handed out like candy bars we're suppose to swallow like good little boys and girls. He spits in the face of goverment bullshit, finds a way to make a beautiful song talking about excrement! Ian Anderson, one true genius, the Bard of rock, right up there with Bowie, Kate Bush, Floyd. Great writer, performer and musician! Saw him at the Broadsword concert, amazing, could toss his flute ,catch it behind his back and not miss one beat!
What a visionary to write this some 40 years ago. Ian's view of politics and religion jotted own on a piece of paper then transformed into musical magic is the work of a pure genius.
Rediscovered lately that beautiful piece of music… after skipping for decades its other incarnation on Aqualung. Ageless music. Lovely. Incredibly contemporary for its lyrics and perfect arrangements…
This track was a thunderbolt to me as a 12 year old. I knew and loved Tull already, but the poetry of this and its winsome melancholy, underpinned by Martin Barre's gentle guitar, blew me away. Hearing it again after a year gap brings tears to the eye. Ian was inspired and hungry then, wasn't he?
@NilsBielke Well said, it's an incredible song, gentle, poetic, & melodious, almost classical in it's brilliance. I also first hear it when I was young, about 17 I guess. Now, I play it over & again. Yes, he was hungry then, a hungry genius.
This song works perfectly for the environmental situation we currently face. The lyrics are eerily prophetic, considering this song was produced almost 40 years ago.
What's this song from? I mean, I know it's on the Living in the Past compilation...but was it initially recorded for Aqualung or what? I know Glenn Cornick plays bass on it. Does anybody know?
@12toedfeet It was originally supposed to be on the Aqualung album, but Ian decided to put the shorter version of the song on the Lp (Wondering Aloud). They then put it on the Living In The Past Lp.
@12toedfeet Hi. Glenn Cornick was kicked out of the band about a month before the AQUALUNG Lp was recorded (mid to late Dec. 1970). So he doesn't appear on anthing associated with the album. It's all Jeffrey Hammond (Ian's childhood friend from Blackpool). The only other song I know of that was recorded for AQUALUNG, but didn't appear on it was LICK YOUR FINGERS CLEAN. You can hear the song by searching for it on YouTube. They also played a song called Tomorrow Was Today during the 1971 tour.
@PaulHartXYZ I'm a fan of early Tull (with Glenn Cornick and Clive Bunker). I don't know enough about Mick Abrahams from the first JT album "This Was", or Tony Iommi's Rolling Stones' "Rock and Roll Circus" gig but I like all of Martin Barre's low key personality and great lead guitar work and of course Ian's contributions. I beleive Ian A. is a hard man to please-it explains all the JT lineup changes over the years.
r'N'b, RAP ETC FANS, PISS OFF, GO TO YOUR CHILDISH SONGS....This will live - your crap will be dead and forgotten while we still listen to real genius...Thank you, thank you, thank you Jethro Tull - emotion, timbre, tone, musicianship, real lyrics that are poetry, genius....Music will still live while your songs are here. Thank you for posting
"We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow. Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told. Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh, and left it to die".
"Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse, and those with no sandwiches please get off the bus"
JT lyrics are so awesome. They'll never be another group or person like Ian Anderson. I was very fortune to be so young when they were first putting out albums. Those were good days.
@graciehunterII You're such a fucking moron, there's nothing to say. I'm waiting with anticipation to see what a sane "adult" has to say. Go ahead and spout your wisdom. We'll see what gems you come up with. So far it doesn't seem so sane to me. "Fucktard fundies"? is that something mature geniuses call their lessers? Maybe you're just getting warmed up. But continue. I'm sure we're all waiting for your gifted, level-headed insight. Take your time. Use any real words. I won't interrupt, asshole.
I've just broke up with a girl (oh, I don't know how you english-speakers write it) and all of a sudden I began to listen to this song. It has nothing to do with the lyrics but... the music, haha, the mood and rhythm of this song makes me want to cry. Damn girl.
much prefer this to wondrin aloud on Aqualung....... jeckert8888 ,,,,,,,,, my recommendations would be be very selective, pick the best from the early albums eg reasons for waiting and we used to know from stand up and with you there to help me and sossity youre a woman from benefit...... some have not stood test of time but many have .... enjoy the trip
Ahhhhhhhh I completely agree. My God, Wind Up, and the entire album Aqualung for that matter, is exotericcally brilliant, a multi-layered speculative diatribe on the common "wealth" of common/modern man. Sorry, I just go off sometimes lol
Do you have any album suggestions for Jethro Tull?? I only own Aqualung and Living in the Past and i am in need of more.
Yes. Thick as a Brick to start with. But all the albums from 1968 to 1978 are excellent!!!!! This Was, Stand Up, A Passion Play, War Child, Minstrel in the Gallery, Too Old to Rock and Roll,Too Young to Die, Songs From the Wood, Heavy Horses, and Bursting Out!"(The live album). Thick as a brick was one of the first albums I ever became totally fanatical about! A work of musical and lyrical genius! It is a continuous piece of music with no individual songs and or breaks. Check it out. It's great
Thank you so much for posting this!!!!! One of my favorite Tull songs!!!!! A great variation of Wond'rin Aloud. I wore out my Living in the past cassette years ago, so I can't always hear this song when I want. It is hard to find the CD as well. I just love Ian's vocal and lyrics on this one! The words sound a lot like what is happening now. The music is both touching and profound. I have never gotten tired of this song for decades and there's a good reason for that. Great music never dies!!!!
