Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (1971) (Remaster w/Lyrics) [720p HD] ~ORIGINAL VIDEO~

[Video #28] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!

The 28th video in my series is the first of several planned Jethro Tull videos. "Locomotive Breath" was released on Jethro Tull's huge 1971 album, Aqualung. There are so many great Jethro Tull songs and "Locomotive Breath" is certainly among the greatest. I remember Aqualung being one of the albums in my older cousin's collection that I was always drawn to....and "Locomotive Breath" was one of the prime reasons. I wanted to pay tribute to the album, one of the first rock and roll records of my memory....and one of my first stepping stones into the world of rock music....by creating a video for one of the songs. I actually have a start on "Aqualung" itself, but it's a more difficult effort......eventually though I gotta do it!

There are a few good videos of this song already up, but I wanted to focus more on the chugging vibe of the song and attempt to capture some of that in my video.

This was a really fun video to create and I'm looking forward to continuing work on my next Jethro Tull release.

I hope you enjoy the results!

[Lyrics]
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death

Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Oh, oh

He sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed an' having fun

Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Yeah, yeah

He hears the silence howling
And catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the balls

Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible
Open at page one

I thank God, he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down

No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down

@Metalmonster56

Truer words have seldom been spoken! :-) Might be a long time before anyone else can ever repeat Tull's accomplishments in this regards!? Thanks!!!!

[Imbalaya]

Holy crap!! AWESOME upload; I thank you SO much for this!!

I remember Tromsø 1991; we played it so loud that people came from the streets knocking on the door & was sticking their heads through the windows asking what song it was. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

@Imbalaya

Thank you so much for the very kind comment! I'm happy you enjoyed it! It's definitely a great tune to PLAY LOUD! ....at least loud enough to make dishes, and other household items not bolted down, chug and lurch forward to the beat like mini-locomotives! LOL!

Thanks for the comment!

What can I say? Very well done!!! Loved the whole concept.

@MetalGuruMessiah I hear you on the tough times. sometimes a video can stump you.

it's so hard to just sit on a edit. well i must go offline now. i hope you will have better luck on the video. hey have you tried out zippcast yet? check it out. um what about the iconic numbers? i will get back to you at a later time. have a stellar weekend.

@parkerdonald1

Thanks, man! Yeah, Tull were incredible in concert....saw 'em in early '79 and they were balls to the wall powerful....that was such a great concert and I always wanted to see them again...sorry I didn't.

Strangely enough, saw this comment come over as I'm actually sitting here working on (again!) my vid for "Aqualung", but I'm having a rough go with this one.....too much pressure on the iconic numbers, I'd better do back to my deep album tracks! LOL!

Thanks for the comment!

loving the Ian Anderson! (Jethro Tull) seen him in concert before. it was amazing and i actually have this album on vinyl. loving your style of movie making. sometimes i do it like that. loving the creativity you bestow. did i spell everything right? omg

[MetalGuruMessiah]

@slywlf

Thank you!  Yeah, I saw them too (as below) and had the same impression as you. I already loved the band by the time I saw them, but I really had no idea how powerful and wonderful they would be live in concert. Incredible musicianship....and Ian knew how to command that stage and work his audience. Thanks for commenting!
