I dunno why, this song and almost the whole Jethro Tull production hits very well to Finnish audience.

This's just awesome.

[Aqualung1989]

really? well, then i'm unlucky, i've tried to get a finnish friend of mine into tull, but now she hates me when i talk of JT :P

[steelyman08]

Lol. . . perhaps you should take her there and take the air together (-:

[Aqualung1989]

LOL doesn't look like a bad idea...

I was and still am a Tull fan. The thing about this band is they've written a song about almost everything. I think they put out an album per year for about 15 years; some of it I can take or leave. But a lot of their early stuff is incredible. This song as a composition is one of the best. It is all that is great about the wild, including sex. A grade A emerald.

Musically, this song is amazing.

Sir Ian Anderson and the Minstrels of Invention............like someone else said...

England's Frank Zappa.

The tune in 1:44 - 2:53 and 4:03 - 4:55 is a classic example of how Ian Anderson in many of his songs is able to capture medieval / old english melody like no other contemporary musician / song writer

@Ingramdumpkiss they had marion doing backing vocals, she was as fit as hell but jesus she had a shit voice.

[Ingramdumpkiss]

Robin Hood played acoustic bass. Little known fact.

@steelyman08

I meant to "Velvet Green". Sorry, I was a bit vague there!

[DeathCemetary]

Ian Anderson must have a bard ancestor from the medieval ages...

[dodie1701d]

@Fitzynator I must agree

[42belvedere]

Love this whole album COMPLETELY!
