Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick

- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2010
- A classic written by Ian Anderson.
"Thick As A Brick (Part 1)"
Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
My words but a whisper your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your sperm's in the gutter your love's in the sink.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels
and your suntan does rapidly peel
and your wise men don't know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.
And the love that I feel is so far away:
I'm a bad dream that I just had today
and you shake your head and say it's a shame.
Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth.
Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.
See there! A son is born and we pronounce him fit to fight.
There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night.
We'll make a man of him, put him to trade
teach him to play Monopoly and how to sing in the rain.
The Poet and the Painter casting shadows on the water
as the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea.
The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other
as the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed.
The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling
but the master of the house is far away.
The horses stamping, their warm breath clouding
in the sharp and frosty morning of the day.
And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword.
And the youngest of the family is moving with authority.
Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside.
The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river
where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea:
the builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose
and contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need.
The young men of the household have all gone into service
and are not to be expected for a year.
The innocent young master - thoughts moving ever faster -
has formed the plan to change the man he seems.
And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword.
And the oldest of the family is moving with authority.
Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son who puts him to the run.
What do you do when the old man's gone - do you want to be him?
And your real self sings the song. Do you want to free him?
No one to help you get up steam
and the whirlpool turns you `way off-beam.
LATER.
I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways.
My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed.
So come on all you criminals! I've got to put you straight
just like I did with my old man twenty years too late.
Your bread and water's going cold.
Your hair is too short and neat.
I'll judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me.
You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone,
you meet the stares, you're unaware that your doings aren't done.
And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be.
But how are we supposed to see where we should run?
I see you shuffle in the courtroom with
your rings upon your fingers
and your downy little sidies
and your silver-buckle shoes.
Playing at the hard case,
you follow the example of the comic-paper idol
who lets you bend the rules.
So!
Come on ye childhood heroes!
Won't you rise up from the pages of your comic-books
your super crooks
and show us all the way.
Well! Make your will and testament.
Won't you? Join your local government.
We'll have Superman for president
let Robin save the day.
You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time.
The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line.
And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars.
And you wonder who to call on.
So! Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
They're all resting down in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual.
I’m 66 now, it feels like yesterday
Spin me back down the years and days of my youth
I really like your comment.
I'll be 66 come November my musical friend. Oh Im totally with you! What a time is was. The brilliance of Tull and so many other's will never die. It will go on forever. Rock on!🤟
good one.
Im 13 and i play flute for a middle school band, and my band teacher said i cant do rock on the flute i told my grandpa and he showed me Jethro tull's music :) I feel like i was born in the wrong generation
edit: Thanks for all the people replieing but I dropped out a while ago haha, Im now a freshmen who does chrous
You can play absolutely anything you want. Don't believe those who tell you it can't be done. Music only marches forward because of the people who refuse to be bound by the "rules". There are no rules, colour outside the lines and you'll be absolutely fine
Nah lol these times sucked just be proud you're in a time where you can get information by a click with no problem :D
I played sax and guitar and played all that stuff on my own time, rock on brother!
@@rubievale For music you were born in the wrong generation. For today you were born in the right generation. Play your music and choose a STEM field for your lifes work.
Good Grandfather!!!
I grew up on Jethro Tull as my late Dad was a great fan . I'm now 47 and my beloved Dad passed away in June 19 from pancreatic cancer. I'm listening to this with tears as the music brings so many memories of him in my head . R I P Ian Charles Jones. It is an honour to share the music of Tull with you .xxx
Condolences 🍺⚡🍺
@@at0micwerew0lf ❤
I'm so sorry. I did the same when my Mum died. I went through her entire collection of music and screamed it all out with tears and love xxxxx
I feel this! My dad passed of pancreatic cancer June 24th '19. We played Jethro Tull (among other music) at his funeral. Their music more than anything else, will always remind me of him! So glad we got to enjoy them together live!
Sorry to hear about your pops but glad to hear that you keep him close with music. I have some similar things from my father. My heart goes out to you, just hang on to the the awesome things that were your dad.
I miss singing Jethro Tull with my dad. Best memories of my life. RIP daddy. You will always be my best friend.
Christina Mussared I strive to make my 5 year old feel this way! You lit up a new generation.
Lovely words and memories.
Sounds like your Dad did parenting the right way. Your life has been blessed. Pay it forward to your children and God bless your Dad for a job well done!
Same story of my life!I hope you sing Jethro Tull still like I do.RIP to our dadies!
Singing Jethro Tull... classic... best memories my friends.
It's late Spring 2024 who out there agrees that this song is a true classic? I have been a fan since the beginning🎶☮️
Wholeheartedly agree ❤
July 15 2024 sorry kids the world's gotten so dull . Do your best with it.
Of course it's a classic. It's Jethro Tull
Love Reading these comments!Awesome! I'm 82 and Tull was my favourite group in the 70s!
" I may make you feel, but I can't make you think " ......pure brilliance
More relevant than we'd ever know.
Just thought that and I've sung these words to myself since 1972! Singing here alone at 63 with my cat. That organ keeping time before the electric guitar with the bass and percussion building: then the wham!wham! Marching back to the soft violins and finally all of them, then the lone soft acoustic and our wise men will never know...hug your grandkids and listen to this with them.
48 years on and I'm still trying to figure out what that means!
@@peterfrance702 Peter really ? You can effect people emotionally but you cant make stubborn idiots change their minds ..👽👍✌
@@charleskennedy8695 Thank you. I guess I can stop thinking about it now!
Iconic. Tull wasn’t copying anybody. They were such a difference from what was out there at the time.
50 years has passed since this masterpiece came out. Happy 50th anniversary, Thick As A Brick.
P.S.: Whatever happened to Gerald Bostock anyway?
@@robertorick6383I don't remember the name of the album, but a later release tells the story of the little boy all grown up.
He ran off with the none rabbit
He ran away with the none rabbit
@@gazcallon8825 The "none rabbit?" Is it similar to the hare who lost his spectacles from "A Passion Play?"
My words but a whisper your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Wow.
The poetry, the arrangements, the strings, the voice, the creativity, the variations yet the wholesomeness of it all.... 50 years ago the teenager I was thought that this was extraordinary, could not get enough of it. Now 50 years later at the venerable age of 67, with 35 years of international consultancy in the rearview mirror, 3 kids, 1 divorce, 2 families, a son who has become a professional classical violinist, having felt in love with cuban music and all kinds of music genres, I can say only this: this is freaking genius. Still the best. Touching. Magnificent. Unequalled.
I couldn't agree more. My brother introduced me to this when I was just a lad. I'm 63 now.
Exactly this.
Spin me down the long ages, let them sing the song
Touching to see how many grew up listening and loving Jethro Tull with their fathers. My old man passed away over 20 years but still listen to their songs with a mix of a smile and tears at the memories we shared.
*mother for me
Pretty simple: you can never ever go wrong with Tull. Sounds as good to me in 2023 as it did in the 70s. Timeless
The classical music of the future. I agree.
Wholeheartedly agree ❤
Ian Anderson plays that flute like Jimi Hendrix played the guitar!
I'm a 65 er old German guy. I love Jethro Thull. I saw Ian Anderson 4 times live in Stange. He is great.
I SAW THIS CONCERT IN EDMONTON ALBERTA 1 OF THE BEST CONCERTS I EVER SAW
65 year old American guy, amazing we commonality, on a song. Peace be with you and your fellow countrymen! Tennessee, usa
Ist ja toll, daß die Menschheit davon Kenntnis erlangt hat....
I think in 200 years this will be appreciated like Mozart and Beethoven are now. The whole piece, the 43 minute version, might be one of the most underrated songs to ever be created.
This work, as all works by J T are PURE musical genius !!!!!
U r so right.
I agree thoroughly
Never was underrated
This Song Is Already In The Jewel Box Of Time..
200 Years....The Board will Rise and Applaud...its Greatness..
As a 16 years old in 1972, I bought a sound system, headphones and this album, plus Genesis's Foxtrot, Neil Young's Harvest and Cat Stevens's Catch Bull at Four with the money I made with my very first job ever, and listened to this album every day in the evening alone in my room. It made me fly in my imagination without drugs. I dont think I have ever tripped on an album as much as with this one in my entire life.
Cool!
You don't need drugs to enjoy this but you need this to enjoy drugs
I was 15 in 1972...Love JT....Saw them at the end of 80's....Greetings from Italy
Me too I was 15 ,I have a few Tull lp's
Between this album and Rush 2112 or La Villa Strangiato, I could listen for hours and just feel high from the sound.
you have to be an eclectic individual, or a musician to truly appreciate a great and innovative band like Jethro tull,their sound wasn't about catering to the masses.
not if taylor swift has anythin to say about it!!!!
@@tourdetor Ah, good old T-Swizzle. What happens if you give a Telly tubby a microphone and a bad bleach job.
Or an eclectic individual who eventually became a musician. In no small part because of bands like Jethro Tull. Its what I did.
Absolutely! And even more reason why this very song should be our Brexit Anthem! 🇬🇧🎶🚽🎶🇬🇧
A message to future generations..Don’t let this masterpiece die..
cringy
"Thick as a Brick"is the best song on the album.
Hmmm, yes it is.
Haha good one
Ah, Yes.....But, which side was better???
@@hymielipstutz5920 Honestly, the whole album is one big gem. No weakness for me.
@@zackzallie8735 YES!!! It has always been mi favorite!
I loved this album in '73 and onwards. Still enjoying, singing along, dancing and I'm 63.
62 here hello from Australia
Me too ! (& aged 63} They're my favourite band !
62 here. Me Too!
68 and it is stiII very reIevant...just deeper now with so many decades come and gone.!
flutist! 65 had it still love it, still alive!🤔😎😁👑
Everyone is stickin' up for the kid I love it! And so you should! Damnit!
I'm 66 years old and thus was at the very first concert tour in Albuquerque New Mexico. No one has ever taken his place. Best stage show ever
To all ye other rare tullians out there all united listening to the pinnacle of Andersons musical genius, i hope you have a wonderful day, night whatever it may be. I hope you get through whatever it may be troubling you, that you are special and amazing. That you are wonderful and deserving. Take care 🤘
The musical brilliance of Ian Anderson.....
How is this band not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?????
outrageous that they are not compared to some of the trash that are...
ha, ha ,ha that is one of the best jokes I've seen in a long time. Rap is not music its talking over...
Because the people who run it are dirty hippies and Ian has stated in the past how much he hates hippies.
HOF is not worth being in.
That fact that they are not in the HOF along with Ashford and Simpson (who just happened to write kick ass blues, soul, and rock like, "I don't need no doctor") is a flipping travesty
When I was eight I got to pick an instrument for band and I picked the flute The next day my brother brought me Aqualung and made me swear to keep it hidden from our mother. My First non kid album. Years later I was able to take him to see Tull from the balcony, could almost reach out and play the notes myself. What An Amazing Talent!! Thank you for sharing this!
really cool
Why hide it ? My mum loved jethro tull, and rush!
your story reminds me of the movie "almost famous'
@@kas1755 It was By far one of the best concerts I ever saw. Maybe not as good as Bowie, but Definitely the sentimental value of it puts it right next to it. Thank you for the reply. My brother was older than me and I just lost him last month, so thank you for letting me remember that day :)
For some reason lately I just needed to hear this song I first heard it probably 50 years ago. It has aged very well.
I’m probably almost your grandpa’s age and I am learning this on my flute which I learned to play when I was your age. It makes me so happy to know someone will be playing Jethro Tull for many years to come!
Thanks to my ex-boyfriend's father, he introduced me to this and I'm so glad he did. The 70s was truly the progressive age of classic rock. Jethro Tull really deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, especially for original masterful works like this. And the words itself truly predicted the future of today's poor excuse of a generation. Most have become thick as a brick indeed.
@@williamhinshaw6838 Multi-generational magic... one might call it art.
Indeed, one brick even made it to US President.
The words of the all songs belong to the kid of the cover. He win an award of poetry and Anderson like too much and make the récord. Here on the cover he's receiving the award. Amazing the words, so prophetics how darks...but beautiful.
"pats myself on back for being old"
@@RobertWilton that was more a walking pile of orange shit than a brick
Thank you to my Pops for introducing me to these legends when I was a kid. Fan for 45 yrs. RIP my daddy 💔 xxx
I just cried of happiness listening to this masterpiece for the 1st time, thank you Jethro Tull
How recent? just out of curiosity.
@@woodspirit7701 2 months haha
Now listen to the 45min version :)
❤ it don't get no better than that the song is absolutely pure genius
I have the original album with the fold-out paper.... Classic! Bought it the day it came out!
when are we gonna hear your collection man?
Yep, still got mine too with the pic of Julia Feeley on the front😁
I feel like this song needs an extra 37 minutes...
Yeah, but if you've only got 6 minutes you'll take the gist of it and be happy.
Anyway, you can find the full version elsewhere on here too.
rossriver75 lol, I was joking
JakeDaVGM copy right...
I get it
There is another video that is longer.
1977 Boston gardens 2nd row center section with my bother , It was my first concert . What a great time !
When I was seventeen, this album was my favourite one and I love It today too ❤❤
I don’t have words to describe this album, the most outstanding masterpiece ever made in prog rock history along with Passion Play . These two albums are from other planet .
I guess I’m not the only one who misses their dad listening to this in the background while you yell at him to turn it down.
Don’t worry, he never turned it down, always up. Thanks dad for showing me so much, and teaching me right from wrong. Also thanks for showing me Jethro Tull is..
Indeed thinking this now with my dads memory.
This was my Tull gateway song. Such amazing music and without comparing the sounds it’s very much it’s own little niche like Pink Floyd and I adore it 💕
Never understood why critics didn't embrace Tull more. Aqualung & TAAB are without a doubt two of the best works with meaning in the 70's.
So many hidden gems from the 70's.
America has blues and we Brits have this! Brilliant world!!!,.
I'd rather have this...but don't forget that America also has jazz
@@AK99581 fuk jazz.
@@badlaamaurukehu i agree 100%
@@badlaamaurukehu no, just no
Gotta love the 70s. Tull will always kick ass even in 2020.
Love this track. Spins me back down the years to the days of my youth !!!
Amen !
Meanwhile back in the year one......
Yes sir I'm 55 yrs young grew up in Chicago I'm a Mexican American love Rock'n Roll Ian Anderson is a smart person he has land in Europe just imagine the great retirement he has after the great life of Rock'n Roll !
Yes +1. Me as well.
Just like "Good Times, Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin.
Was fortunate enough to see this performed live on their first US tour of it. What an amazing concert. I am 64 and the memory is still clear in my mind, amazing musicians, and writers!
This entire lyric is superb and his voice is powerful. The instrumentation. I think I hear a lot of time signature changes which is intriguing. Thick as a Brick is a Hallmark of the progressive rock genre.
Just received my new speakers. The first thing to play was this masterpiece. Wow! Blows my mind!
The fact that there's a Scandinavian that likes Jethro Tull enough to break in his speakers with it makes me so happy.
Right .. listening to this on AudioEngine HD6's . Love it
I brought 100watt Kenwood speakers in 1973 been in the loft for 25 years now, maybe time to get then down and wired up.
@@lynnsteven212 re-cap the crossovers. And re-foam the surrounds first
Thought it was best for my new speakers, too.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Love it I was listening to Broward sword and the beast earlier
Good to know there's a lot of us true rock n rollers left!
That medieval sound. Loved it.
Jethro-genius, genius, genius. Thanks for making my life better and more insightful because of your beautiful music. Genius music. Genius musician.
The first few minutes of this song are exceptionally beautiful. Full song is great too but it is the acoustic early part that is so special.
Some childhood you had listening about sperm in the gutter mate lmao
Saw Tull in the Usher Hall in Edinburgh in 1970 , still all these years later , my favourite concert.
Jim Lockhart nice, wish I could say the same.
Think it was 70 also I seen them for the first time and yes opened up for them
I try never to be jealous, but that statement gave me a jealous twinge .....
I saw them in Houston in 1972. Three straight hours of music. Best concert ever.
I believe I am green with envy of all of ya'll! I was 12 and stuck in Vermont!
I am 65. This time period was when music had an extreme amount of meaning and messages to it. I loved and still love this song.
❤ Ian Anderson is a poet
I had the opportunity to see him in 1970 in Tucson Arizona at a bar i was in High School always the best!
I freaking love these lyrics. And freaking flute with guitar combo works so well
My father had 2 CD's that I found when I was 15 and probably listened to them day and night non stop, Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd. In 2012 I came to learn english in Europe and had the opportunity to see Ian Anderson at his turner, I visited Liverpool for that, soon after I went to the wall concert by Roger Waters in Dublin. I still not believe the experiences I was able to have, so great and completely unexpected. Thanks universe, for knowing what I love!
classical work combined with rock overture is just phenomenal...
Im 16, my dad put this music when i was 7 years in our car trips.
I can say this is the song of my infancy and it represents my curiosity and adventure.
Really a masterpiece
what a dad !
😊 I'm not sure how Mindy feels about this song I'm her Dad Rob I love jethro tull 😃 !
There have been some amazing Classic and Prog Rock groups...the latter being ELP, Yes, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd...But if I had to name one person who was the most underrated of all--taking into account lyrics, songwriting, singing, and multi instrumentalist (here flute and acoustic guitar), I gotta choose Ian Anderson. And it may not even be close.
Dave McKenzie the bassist was underreted more
More??? We all loved the bass player of course...But he was the bass player. Anderson wrote the songs, sang the songs, played flute and acoustic guitar...
Dave McKenzie his guitarist Martin Barre is pretty underrated too.........
Dave McKenzie Don't judge me but what does a "prog" rock group mean?
Dave McKenzie ever heard of triumvirate, Aphrodites child....hmmm
He makes playing a flute, magical. Thank you 😊 Jethro Tull.
My best friend and I used to make fun of his mom when she would listen to Tull. 6 months later it was all we listened to. A year later all three of us were at a concert together. 32 years later they’re both gone but I’m still listening.
I've been looking for this song for like an hour. I heard it on the radio and I needed to find I'd, because I always remember my mom playing it to me. After searching with out knowing any of the lyrics at last I have found it.
your mom had good taste in music, it was a magical time in our evolution.
Seltzer your mom is cool
well done
Now, go give your Mom a hug and say Thank you.
How did u find this then, without knowing any of the lyrics
Christ I love this band! I saw them four times. They really have something! When I drove up in the VW Camper from Shropshire to the Scottish Highlands to go climbing, this band seemed to be just right! Especially at night . Singing along with my brother Duncan, heading for a nasty wee mountain with a full moon above, why would we not agree to let Ian bring us songs from the wood!
and Jesus loves you respect him at least.
@@gratefuljim1916 No I don't think I will thankyou, but may I just say that if I have offended you, that's great!
Brilliant song! Nobody but Tull can do this kind of music. His Band is Orchestra grade !!
A, pure classical composition, written and performed in modern era, Thick As A Brick, a masterpiece, and work of genius.
Name another kick-ass rock band that has a lead flute. I dare you.
There ARE no "Rock" bands with a lead flute, so your question is moot.
Moody Blues
but he said "kick-ass"..so no other kick-ass band with a lead flute!
excellent...but not kick ass! :D
I'm joking..!
Traffic was a kick-ass rock band with flute to boot.
I saw them perform this, pre-release, at the Albert Hall. Wow!!!! Went to the US a few weeks later and every radio station was playing it. Fantastic music by a brilliant group. Ian Anderson played flute, guitar, drums as the mood took him. What a consummate musician.
Now you know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. I’d love to turn you on- by the Beatles song Day in the Life”
This is my most listened to album in my Life!
One of the greatest prog songs out there. I’m always fascinated how diverse classic rock really is. I always think of it like life, you have all kinds of friends, and friends of those with opposite views, and prog rock is like the smart nerd friends, so glad to have listened to this music in high school.
This album came out in 1971 and is a classic in its own right even today.
Student flat, early 80's - listening to this even earlier stuff with the other inmates. We knew a good thing when we heard it.
Great song. I always dedicate this song to my older sister. Nothing but greatness! The music that is. Big ups to Ian Anderson
In Philadelphia at the Spectrum 1972 my first concert. The local church chartered a bus, it was great. I believe there was a 6 foot white non-rabbit... on stage.
When this band was big (in the 70’s, I was studying classical guitar. I particularly liked renaissance and baroque. I truly appreciated the renaissance influence in their music.
2024, thanks Dad...
My dad would drive us on long car trips when I was little and all you had was the CD player mostly being 4 or 5. He liked Stevie ray, zeppelin, all sorts and f shit but also weird stuff like the tubes and the talking heads. I can remember clear as day when he put this song on. I didn’t know the name of it until I was much older. I just remember the feeling and the imagination. It would come on at it was like, whoa, dad, what is this? Lead flute man.....he rips!
My dad too I would not know about this magical sound if not for my dad ❤️
Always spins me me back to the days of my youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My misspent youth was not really misspent at all. I saw Tull in the old Boston Garden back around 1972.
How did I and this piece get so old so quick?
“Your sperm’s in the gutter and your love’s in the sink” Really just hit the nail on the head 😭😭😭😭😭
I’m writing this before listening to the song, just remembering that I know how it goes. I had it on a cassette track tape in the 1970s. “Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth. Draw the lace and black curtains, and shut out the whole truth. Spin me Down the long ages. Let them sing the songs” Now time to check how close I was.😊
For what it is worth, young fellow. The world is full of people, some eight billion. Ian Anderson, of Jethro Tull, is as of a flavor: Some like it, some do not. Some take it to an extreme, especially those that do not. Parents and teachers are a good resource. Youth was meant to be enjoyed. Choosing between a good musician and those that also obstruct youth will define as you become older. I am an old guy, but youth needs time to enjoy. The world around is changing. Like few products on store shelves, choose as best that you can.
I love how most people don't recognize that one of the main themes of the song and album were to be satirical to British humor and the jack in the box rhythm which is featured on the song. The band did it candidly out of humor and never expected it to gain a cult following like it did. It remains deep in my heart a joyful childhood memory upon first discovery and an all time favorite when I start feeling nostalgic.
I found an original issue of this lp couple years back for 25¢. Excitement
That's crazy.
Hey, Thats a quarter thickness!!
I still have mine, don't remember how much it cost, but I am sure I scraped the money together to buy it. Spin me back the days .......
Enjoy the the thing that was album cover art. Can't get that streaming.
I have it!
Seit über 50 Jahren höre ich diese Vinyl immer und immer wieder bis ich im Rockhimmel bin.
I'm pretty sure I've always been in love with Ian Anderson! And I definitely know, I've actually said the words, "I can make you feel, but I can't make you think" and then walked away singing, "Do dout do do do do doo, Da dout do do do do" many times in my lifetime.....
To great satisfaction!
You have to admit, this is classic rock at it's best! Nothing can compare to it. So happy to have been a small part of it. :)
One of the GREATEST songs EVER MADE!!!!!!
Great memories associated with this song. Hard to believe it is 50 years old. Hard to believe I am 69 and first heard this while attending the US Coast Guard Electronics Technician School on Governor's Island NY. Great times and great friends made there. I miss you all, wherever you are.
I remember growing up in the 70s, my mom would play records every Sunday, while cleaning around the apartment. I was a child but couldn't help fall in love with these old classics. Thanks mom for raising me with the best kick ass music of that era
Mom's aye? Where would we be without them?
Sorry. I put thumbs down by mistake. I love this álbum too
@@alfonsoroman4253 no worries bro, and let's keep the legacy of this legendary album alive 😉
My dad seems to think Mr. Tull was one odd duck to the point of asking me point blank why I was listening to this song on loop. I told him I don’t care if the man himself looked like a goofball akin to Tiny Tim, his music is freaking awesome.
......"and You shake your head, uh hu, and said, it's a shame".
Always have said " if stuck on an island and can only have one album...this is it!"
Its awesome! Tho i would have dark side
very thankful that my grandfather brought jethro tull and ian anderson into my life. music captures a time I’ll never experience, but maybe i can understand it through them.
I may make you feel, but I can't make you think. Truer words were never written. Thanks, Ian.
I love this album since the 70's and still love it. Bravo et thank you
This whole album is amazing.
Such a beautiful song great album that was some music back and that was out-of-this-world that's great musicians
Boys and girls, they don't make em like this anymore.
that's for sure!
muggymug Defo agree my friend lol.
Ahoy there
Och Aye..
You're right. My daddy raised me on classic rock music and of course jethro, but as I grew up i had to come to grips with the fact that all my friends would be listening to quavo and the migos (etc.) rather than actual music....
sempreverde! a 60anni son qui ancora ad ascoltarlo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was my go-to album when I needed to be centered. Everything about it was perfect. It made perfect sense and it was all the emotions I was feeling. I loved classical music and jazz. It put it all together
In my opinion, this is Tull's best album. I still remember most of the words, burned into my head, that I haven't heard since the late 70's. Oh, the memories! Saw them play this in concert.
I saw these guys so many times I love to play along on my Drums Im 66 years old and still jamming to these guys and may my Best Friend Randy Castillo who taught me the Drums may you rest in peace Rich Albuquerque NM
My brother use to have this on 8 track and I would listen to it on a quad stereo when I was around 10 years old. This album is truly a masterpiece.
