  • Hatta er hópin góður tónleikur

  • The man was transplanted forward to this era from the days of troubadors, but has elements of rythmic and melodic structures that are still ahead of our time.

  • A brilliant tribute to a beautiful song and one of the best bands of all time. Thank you.

  • Awesome song and video, I love Jethro Tull since lil boy 

  • Thank GOD above for Jethro Tull! This song is pure enjoyment. Music should stimulate emotions or feelings. True art is purely for the sake of art, not money. Tull was never a real commercial success. They earned their kibbles bringing the music to their rabid fans, live on stage. The only other band that toured as much as Tull was Zappa. Another band's tribute to music for music's sake, not money.

  • hermosoooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo

  • beautiful song! Thanks for posting!

  • My first rock concert while in High school - 1970 - Jethro Tull, with McKendree Spring as the opener ( Note- Look up McKendree Spring here, and you will know why they opened with this song. Try 'If the Sun Should Rise' ) Tull opened the show with this song. They played songs from previous records, and then did *all* of Aqualung. The concert went on for over 3 hours. Unforgettable. Magical. Spiritually transporting. Life changing.

  • I've been a Tull fan since 1969. Everytime I hear this song takes me back to those days.

  • Absolutely fantastic video! Every time I hear this song it catapults me back to the very first time I heard it! Nothing touches me like Ian's music!!!!

  • @dustbuster4 Thanks a lot for your comment my friend ...

  • quality music like this is rare indeed- for any era.... but being honest I am glad I grew up in the 60's- early 70's.

  • super nice song bro love it go green peace from norway

  • Hey try singing metal to your girlfriend...she'll just love you for it...

  • @willicat441  i always melt everytime he played JT esp Bend like Willows..love it!

  • Has anyone the partiture-notes for the flute??:)

  • It brings tears. So many wonderful memories brought forth through the music and video combination. Thank you for puttng this together.

  • I'm really just discovering JT for the first time. I'm in my early 50's and I can't believe how chamelion like they are. Always changing and moving forward. I was never exposed much to them until discovering them on youtube. Thanks to everyone who posts these old movies and videos. It makes me sad to see how young Ian was and how long ago these songs were recorded. He sure did put together an awsome band, and they accomplished so much, it seems that they should be in the HOF.

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I will sing this to my future wife :)

  • Ian Anderson was damn sexy...

  • Lovely. Thank you.

  • I play this video over and over.I love it! thanks so much.

  • @MsBoomer1954 Hi ...it's great you've enjoyed it that much.. keep rocking :)) Thanks for posting your comments..

  • Great job on this video!

  • @kas0741 Thank you !! :))

  • @ocnarfeara Hey, what kind of program did you use to zoom in and out of the photos? I just got final cut and I'm thinking of doing a birthday video for someone like this. Thanks!

  • @ocnarfeara gosh i do love that man!!!!! this is, in my opinion, one of the best!!! many thanx...

  • Beautifully done.Really captures the essence of Ian and Jethro Tull.Good on Ya!

  • @Count22 Thank you very much for your awesome comment. !

  • Best song on that amazing album!

  • i love thease song :*)

  • Stellar arrangement! Thanks for doing it justice with your video.

  • Gracias por subir este tema con imagenes tan copadas del grupo!!! tengo 51 y escucho a Jethro desde 1969, cuando escuche este grupo me converti y doy gracias por haber escuchado todo esto desde tan pequeña. Que bueno que todavia queda gente que sabe apreciar lo que realmente ES SUPER BUENO!!!!!

  • 100th "like"....... what a beautiful song, what a beautiful bunch of musicians... With Stand Up, for the first time Ian Anderson proceeded to experiment with Tull's sound... and boy aint the world lucky he did! Tull is the greatest cult ever! We're all exceptionally lucky to have fallen in love with their music, for not everyone digs it easily. They don't know what they miss... :)

  • Beautiful video lovely images and the timimg of them perfect

  • @Pattieire Thank you very much for your awesome comment my friend.

  • probably my favourite tull song :) been a fan for like 25 years as a teenagers thanks!!! ian anderson is one of the most talented lyricists ever

  • 40 years ago and still today . . .this song is touching the very heart and soul of mine

  • absolutely wonderful video presentation - one of my all time favorite Tull songs. I bought this album the week it came out and have listened to it for over 40 years now - never get tired of it. Can't believe Ian was only 22 when this was released - pure genius.

  • @wrhogan Thank you very much for your awesome comments! I also love this album, it is one of my favorites and sounds so actual, instrumentally a non dated arrengment...

  • @wrhogan I feel the same way!!

  • I bought Stand Up the day it was released...it is still my most played album, I play it at least once a month, not on CD or any other medium, I have an old 5 stack KENWOOD system with 6 speakers and a turn table and it plays and sounds far better than any digital system..

  • Awesome song! Was just listening to this from the Stand Up LP. I still have the original with the pop-up centre!

  • this song inspired me to this beautiful statement since 2006:

  • I first saw Jethro Tull in 1971...Ian Anderson onstage, a wide-eyed wildman playing and shaking his flute and strumming a guitar left a lasting impression on me that I have not forgotten. This album, and this song in particular is one of the finest ever produced in my humble opinion. I bought tickets to see Tull in San Diego County this June. I trust that it will be, once again, a memorable experience.

  • God, I'm in love with Jethro Tull, wish I could have been alive when he was doing concerts! BTW I'm one of the younger generation and I learned to play the flute partly because of his amazing songs!! Thanks for the upload!

  • early JT, very nice!

  • The man who created the orchestral parts of this song later became a woman, David Palmer.

  • Thanks for posting this masterpiece !! Let's hope the younger generation gets to discover and appreciate this amazing band. Sure brings back a lot of memories !

  • @winterdreams80 Thank you very much for your awesome comment.And you are right it brings back memories... that why I decided to create this tribute video ! Cheers.

  • @ocnarfeara Forgot to tell you you did an amazing job on the video !!! All the images are superb and a treat to look at !! I was just 8 years old when my big bro listened to Jethro Tull in 69, but I remember the music well cause he played it so often :-) Once you start listening to it ... it's hard to stop ! So thanks again for sharing this video with us ! Peace

  • @winterdreams80 Uau. it's great you've realy enjoyed my video that much. Thanks a lot . I posted another Tull favorite some months ago. Peace.!

  • Heard it for the first time only a few days ago and can't get it out of my head. Achingly beautiful - thank you.

  • @emma8468 Yes you're right, this song is really beautiful, one of my Jethro Tull favorite. Thanks for commenting.

  • @emma8468 Heard it 41 years ago and I can't get it out of my head either. It is exactly as you say.

  • @emma8468 Wonderful tune- Dee (David) and Ian wrote and arranged some REALLY nice stuff together. This is an all-time favorite of mine, too, so melancholy.

    I don't get the codpiece, though. What was he thinking, seriously? Did Bob Dylan ever wear a codpiece? Even Cat Stevens?

    Please, don't throw stones. I love Jethro Tull, much to my more hipster friends' unknowing chagrin.

  • @emma8468 "achingly" sums this up PERFECTLY! I was telling my daughter when I played this for her..."doesn't this make your heart actually ache?!?" It's astounding what feelings this song evokes...BRILLIANT!!! Thank you Ian!!

  • Comforting, yet so refreshing. Nice tempo changes...Another good song.

    :)))x
