This is without doubt my favourite song of all time. I remember it being released when I was a kid and I have been a JT fan all my life as a result. I have seen the band many times and I must have played this song thousands of times over the years, I never tire of it. This version is enchanting and brought a tear to my eye. It will be whats played when its my time to check out, that's for sure.

My favorite JT song! Does anyone know how this ensemble came to being? Looks like it could have been in his house. Wonder if any other recordings were made at that session?

It is a departure from what I as a youth saw of Ian Anderson. It is a mellowing of the man, and a harmonious extension of his creative talent! Roger A Quick

I was lucky to get 4th row seats during their "A Little Lite Music" tour. When the band played this song, my thought was even if I live to age 100, I will never hear anything as beautiful as Ian and the band performing this song.

I've been listening to Jethro Tull since I was 11 years old. I am 45 now... My son is 17 and he enjoys it as well. We both play his songs with our guitars. Ian Anderson is an immense artist indeed, very much under-evaluated. Absolutely brilliant!

Probably the greatest guitarist ever....

This is perhaps my favourite Ian Anderson composition. It has everything. A wonderful melody, thought-provoking lyrics and a voice that resonates throughout the years. He is an artists of immense talent and this song personifies his remarkable ability in being able to turn a relatively simple melody into a musical masterpiece. Pure genius!
