LOL!--Good Grief,whirlwitch & hokeyboy25..,,,on reading back,god knows why or how I wrote that! I've got J T dvds,cds and know full well I've made myself look ignorant with that comment but I can assure you I know better...I ought to seeing as I've been around forever,just like Ian,lol!! Anyway,the sentiments were all genuine as were my greetings for a great,festive weekend for everyone,so once again,as it is now Christmas Eve....HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!! K xx

[hokeyboy25]

@kbrowneyes Love the song too, but Jethro Tull is a band, not a person. The frontman is Ian Anderson.

[MrOldways]

Have a cool Yule ya`ll.

[Odinson1951]

A very happy Yule to all of you, friends and enemies alike. 

[TarjaTurunen1Fan]

Happy Yule!!!

[NJtoTX]

Want to post this to FB, but hate that "Blessed Yule" shows up.

[Foxwoman53]

Beautiful! Blessed Be and Happiness to All this Lovely Winter's Solstice!

[kbrowneyes]

Loved this forever! and loved JT and his utter quirkiness and fabulous music..an original,one-off guy with music that stays with you forever. HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all watching this as 2011 Christmas approaches.  Best wishes for a great year ahead in 2012...boy,do we all need it,lol! "Cheers!"..K xx

[whirlwitch]

@kbrowneyes Jethro Tull was the name of the band, not the name of any of the performers. I believe you mean the lead singer, Ian Anderson.

[toratora141]

[1lonlyferret]

[jjk717]

This songs always makes me so happy - a Blessed Yule to all!

[tanith3]

Blessed Yule....Tanith

[jwf2tao]

I love these pagan/wiccan holiday songs.....they are much more open and less hypocritical to those of us that do not embrace a pure christian dogma, but still preserve the spirit and holiness of the season....love to all....

[Roadkilldemon]

Hmm :/ well one person is a grinch!

How could ye not like this song? :)

[edwards21416]

paganism culture gets no media time on tv i wonder what the prob is.The schools dont touch it

[wsrpix]

Love the Bunker drums at the very end. Just typical of the man...

[masterhiram2009]

been a fan of Tull, and this song for years, once i "converted" to Wicca, I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD what Ian meant!

[6223randi]

Axial Tilt is the reason for the Season!

[Ferretsong]

I Love this Song so much..The album is form 1977 I was 16 and it just resonated with me on such a core level, even though I was an east LA ghetto rat..I never heard anything so beautiful and it filled me then with wonder and even so more now..Gramercy and Goddess Bless us everyone..Walk In Beauty now and Always XOX PS I am Ferreting away "Yule Be back" from alanstarkie2001..Caws it is just too good to resist!

[MrCrosstiewalker]

If this doesn't get one psyched up for whatever the next year may offer, I don't know what could!!!

[777azathoth]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christ is born to redeem us poor sinners and make Our Heavenly Father not condemn us in our sinner-hood.

Repent or fare to Hell!

[sophiah88]

Makes me want to form a Circle and dance Spirals!

Thank you.

[redhairedstepchild]

[Skyclad65]

My daughter was born on 21st December, Blessed be )o(

[JonP1961]

Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses are two very strong albums. Man did I wear both of those out in high school!

[gibsosgerbil]

Merry Christmas

From The Gibsons xx

[nightgrooveruk]

thank you Namaste :)

[pophits]

For a second there I thought they said, "Ring out sausage bells!" LOL!

Happy Yule, all!

Blessed be! )O(

[YouBullshitTube]

There was a video for this song where Ian states that the lads get to sing. Anyone? Oh well, great tune regardless.

[starman714]

Actually, it's from the album "Songs From The Wood", not "Woods" - they don't say 'the woods' in merry olde England as in America ;-) -

Anyway, great song; I found this post because it's been stuck in my head despite Spring quickly approaching and chose this of all the Solstice Bells posts for my Facebook page, thanks for sharing it! :)

[Avalon888]

Have a cool Yule everybody.

P&L,

M.

[CatFiain]

Slightly late to the party, but Solstice Blessings to all.

[flyingcursor]

This just made my day.

[crollo22]

Everyone who posted here is very smart!

In touch with winter, nature and the mystics!

Nobody tells it like Tull!!

[jeffersonrhodan]

[ruleta74835]

Same to you. Glad you're still "aboard".

[Chiyo1967]

Glad you're still with us. Blessed Imbolc.

[Mysticdreamlight]

The solstice is night.

Light and dark blessings to all.

[alanstarkie2001]

Now you've heard it, yule be back!

[hostilel7]

It should read "Songs from the Wood"

[BuzbyWuzby]

I have often thought what this tune would sound like if sung by a full symphony choir with the members also doing the clapping - I am sure it would look and sound utterly fantastic!

[FreuerdeMorgen]

Thanks a lot too! I like Jethro Tull till i'm 14years old...i'm 44 now! ^^ and i still like it !

[mickindanny]
