Jethro Tull- Dun Ringill (with pics of Ireland)

[Terncote]

One of the best songs Mr. Anderson ever recorded )on one of the worst albums they ever made).

But even when Tull isn't very good they are head and shoulders over most others.

I love the guitar and I wish Ian would play more - he's much underrated and unappreciated as a guitarist.

[killie84]

Beautiful photographs.

[drkam6]

Beautiful - reminds me of Newfoundland

[Guorthegirn]

I love Ireland, love Jethro Tull and love this song. Awesome pics, good job!

Cheers!

[spireet3160]

[spireet3160]

Nice job Auqualung, and the pics of Ireland are awesome. Thank you for the post :)

[Aqualung1989]

Hey everyone. I KNOW DUN RINGILL IS IN SCOTLAND. I KNOW IT. BUT I HAD SOME PICS FROM MY TRIP TO IRELAND AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE NICE. so please, stop the "Dun Ringill is in Scotland" comments. Thank you.

[Bluewillowmoon]

It's a really lovely video, but Dun Ringill is in Scotland, not Ireland.

[UweFromLowerSaxony]

Hello Aqualung1989,

thank you for this wonderful combination of pictures of Ireland and one of my absolute favorite songs from JT.

I love JT since i heard them first in the age of 18; and this song is one of their greatest ones, imho. And by the way, the first song i ever heard of JT was Aqualung ;-)

With kind regards from Lower Saxony

Uwe

[songcollector07]

i have loved jethro tull since i started listening to him in the 70's . . . thank you so much for the video and God Bless you

[10squonk]

my favorite from stormwatch...and another proof that Anderson was just a great writer on acoustic guitar, not too many people of rock heritage that could rival him in that department. If yes, please let me know

[gizlivadi8013]

DAMN I just wanna be there! Now!

[Phil0Dendron]

Thank you. :-)

[magicman54693]

I love the pics and love the song. Ian Anderson is my muse.

[SaighAllaidh]

Photos of Dun Ringill would be even more wonderful. It's a beautiful ruin in a beautiful location.

[SaighAllaidh]

Pictures of Ireland? Dun Ringill on the Isle of Skye in Scotland would work better...it's a beautiful ruin in a beautiful location. As haunting as the song.

[faith510255]

I love the sound!!

[claramacdowell]

@Aqualung1989 , I adore you. Jethro Tull is so beautiful and I just can't help loving people who love them. :) It is a cycle, you see? :)

[Aqualung1989]

@claramacdowell Clara, I like your reasoning =)

[Suuperman5461]

One of my favorite songs of all time, not just by Jethro Tull but such a great choice and such beautifully done. Thank You for a wonderful compilation.

[draecon13]

Beautiful job!

[JohnEBMcC]

Wonderful combination of sound and imagery! NIce job and thanks!

[mcwsearch]

I love the folky side of Tull. I wish Ian would get back to this and prepare a full album of it. I'd be first in line to buy.

[nala3299]

Wow, Ireland is really beautiful.  Thank you for sharing! :)

[bcn1211]

Tremendous Job!

[Matchaification]

One of the best songs ever from these legends.

[broonward]

I love Jethro Tull! Thank you for posting this!

[Kaiverfox]

Sometimes this song reminds me of the calm before the storm. Or a mysterious sense of wonder.

[mdelair420]

hello my celtic kin hope your all well over in ireland.peace.

[emmazedbend]

What a voice, what a song..

[mtmeatball]

witchy

[Thandalor]

Great video! Great song!

[papynou48]

Song of Jethro Tull is perfect with that pics.

Very Nice Video !

[DucdeGramont]

Quite nice :-) but the better pictures would be these from Dun Rigill itself. Anyone here who get some? Ian Anderson was inspired by that broch on the coastline near Elgol on Skye.

[Tull1967]

Lovely combination of wonderful music and the beautiful lands of Ireland. Good job Aqualung1989!

[Aqualung1989]

thanks a lot =)

[YoukaiEmpress]

Ive Loved This Song Since I Was Little. I Grew Up Listening To Jethro Tull ^_^

Your PIctures Are Beautiful And Goes Lovely With The Song. I Hope To Visit Ireland Someday =]

[Rafischnet]

sounds good with the pictures

[captaindecency]

Thank you, Aqualung1989 for posting this. I'm in the USA. I have loved this song since Stormwatch was released. I could care less if Dun Ringill is in Scotland, your photographs from Ireland are awesome and appropriate.

[mdelair420]

thank uncle arthur for giving me my first tull album.i miss you talking about history and syfi,and music.hope you are at peace.cant listen to aqualung or thick as a brick without thinking of you.godbless all who have lost some one who was a huge impact on their life.and god bless all who havenot as well.peace

[steelyman08]

Lovely pics. . . bet your trip was one to remember (-:

[Aqualung1989]

steelyman08, it was indeed, that's the reason why I've returned to Ireland three more times :)

[steelyman08]

Absolutely stunning. . . I've had a taste or two myself and you can see why such places are the birthplace of countless legends & myths.

[steelyman08]

Classic acoustic Tull. They should have used this sort of stuff for The Lord Of The Rings.

[meewsic]

Genius

[mdelair420]

this song is so kick ass one of my favs simply amazing

[jstarang1]

i was just having fun with you great pics to go with a great song nice job!

[jstarang1]

pictures of scotland would be more appropriate for the song lol

[Aqualung1989]

yeah well, I've never been to Scotland, so I couldn't do that. Anyway I don't think it's the end of the world, is it? :P

[SaighAllaidh]

@jstarang1 Specifically of Dun Ringill on the Isle of Skye!

[mdelair420]

@jstarang1 yea its in scotland. but i love looking at the pictures opf ireland being irish.

[JonP1961]

Love Tull. Great storyteller and great prog. Seen 'em multiple times. Along with CSNY, one of the reasons I picked up an acoustic guitar in the 70's

[SupernalOne]

love the pure intense Celtic melancholy in this song, laden with longing and desire, melancholy and menace -- and the balance between a rapt gazing into Eternity and the quick lustful coupling that briefly dispells the Abyss from the soul -- makes me want a mouthful of good scotch and a lithe redheaded woman

[whitewolf60]

Supernal...A poet and don't noet : )

[SupernalOne]

Cheers, WhiteWolf! Yah, as an American of Scottish descent on both sides, I find the ancestral type runs true - yearning and rue are like butterscotch to the soul --

and putting things into words, that's the only way people can know each other's minds; if you make it poetry, they can't forget - funny how words can actually charm the mind

Hmm, "Whitewolf" - - so, are you a role-play gamer by any chance? I've a daughter in Edinburgh who was just at Gaelcon in Dublin

[whitewolf60]

Supernal...Not exactly a gamer; I think the last video game I played was "PONG" (or was it "PING"?). Let's put it this way: it was the newest thing out at the time : )

[SupernalOne]

ha - my stepson is big into World of Warcraft, I've seen him with a headset directing a team of players scattered across 3 real continents in their quest to slay a dragon - he sounded like a Master Sergeant sending in assault waves, except less adrenaline, more concentration -- I spent some months as a demon on the floors of Hell (Alien v Predator) & as a crusader-vampire questing across the centuries for a lost love (Vampire: the Masquerade) - gave that stuff up, but fun at the time :^)

[whitewolf60]

Supernal...I've overheard conversations discussing such exploits; rather aghast was I, until I realized they were discussing fantasy : ) That such as Tull is my "escape".

[mdelair420]

mine to,love tull and dun ringill fav tull song.hope you had a great hoilday.thanks for all the cool info post, find most to be jaw dropping, yet im not surprised at all.lots of respect to you whitewolf60peace.

[mdelair420]

[JohnLRice]

@SupernalOne you and me both, my friend . . . . .

[weewilly49]

@SupernalOne What a lucid, informative, emotionally accurate depiction of the feelings illicited by this Monstrous writing masterpiece!

[SupernalOne]

@weewilly49

thanks! yah, Anderson is a little pretentious sometimes, and usually too cranky and pessimistic for a steady diet of Tull music (Solstice Bells is nice in particular, for his brief happy change of mood) but when one is feeling like life can only be cherry red or midnight blue, Tull hits the spot.

cheers, WW49!

[mdelair420]

one of the best songs writtten love the lyrics ,i love to write my self so i really love this,peace to all life on earth

[mdelair420]

love to see ireland im half irish.

[lovequeen2111]

Great song & cool pics. =)

[kizzydawn]

fave place combined with a fave song What more could a girl want .. thanks

[Suuperman5461]

Hey M,

I really was joking.

cheers

[Suuperman5461]

....was going to say, thought dun ringhill was in scotland. just an idiot from texas that has loved jethro tull for many years.

[MilkyMalc]

Hahaha mate thats funny as fuck but harsh. You have a point though.

[ingy1965]

All well and good, but Dun Ringill is on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, UK. Not now, or ever, a part of the island of Ireland, Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.

[gizlivadi8013]

Pure magic... Nostalgic Ireland

[mdelair420]

one of my favorite songs

[mdelair420]

cool song and pictures of my familys home my great granddad mr dunn came here from ireland mabey 120 years ago

[SupernalOne]

regardless of the details, the pics of the western edge of europe go well with the intense melancholy of the lovely Tull tune --

[rockhead60]

very nice

[pitifloh]

Wow, thanks very much again for posting this song with those pics. I've enjoyed it very much!!

[Viznel137]

A Beautiful piece from STORMWATCH!other good ones are Orion and North sea oil!

[JonnDalton]

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, bit this is also sung by a Scottish singer and his band about a place in Scotland. (Isle of Skye). How would you like to listen to a song by the Gypsy Kings, or Placido Domingo, with a backdrop of famous scenes of Portugal?

[Aqualung1989]

well, the thing is, i feel relaxed when i listen to this song while seeing this pictures, and it seems some other people like this too. so, the only thing i can say is, sorry you are outraged by this :P

peace :)

[headschlong]

I don't think it matters one bit. Although not Skye, I don't think the montage is at all out of context to the song. I've climbed on Skye and been all over Ireland btw.

Another good one I reckon.

[ProAmPiano]

They are pictures he took himself. Not only do they fit, but they carry a special meaning for him.

[carrietide]

Gorgeous.The pictures are very appropriate,I am sure that the landscape on Skye is similar somehow.

[abatele]

beautiful

[greeny1746]

Superb music, great landscape.

[carrietide]

I totally agree.The music is so beautifully Celtic.

[Aqualung1989]

Please tell me what do you think of the video.

True, I did it in 5 minutes, but I think some of the pics are nice... :P
