Whenever I get to feel this way,
Try to find new words to say,
I think about the bad old days
We used to know.
Nights of winter turn me cold
Fears of dying, getting old.
We ran the race and the race was won
By running slowly.
Could be soon we'll cease to sound,
Slowly upstairs, faster down.
Then to revisit stony grounds,
We used to know.
Remembering mornings, shillings spent,
Made no sense to leave the bed.
The bad old days they came and went
Giving way to fruitful years.
Saving up the birds in hand
While in the bush the others land.
Take what we can before the man
Says it's time to go.
Each to his own way I'll go mine.
Best of luck in what you find.
But for your own sake remember times
We used to know.

And yet look at what has survived and is still ear candy today, eh? Jethro Tull, a decidedly "go your own way" group back in the day. One I always liked. I'm gratified to see they still bear listening to even today.
And lord knows their classic, Bouree has gone on to be a background tune hummed and whistled by me over all my days, and that's not been a bad thing though at times I've had young folk look at me a bit cross-eyed wondering what tune I'm whistling. I just smile....
Highlow
1969-1971... what a time, so much good music being made!
Strange to look at Billboard charts on the other hand... what was popular was "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head", "Candida", Anne Murray's "Snowbird", etc... good grief.

Ian Anderson was 22 when this was released. Stand Up, Benefit and Aqualung are must haves. Go check your grandparents vinyl collection in their attic, garage or basement.

Ya know...their first three or four albums were quite good.
This album is utterly fantastic.
This album is utterly fantastic.
Everything about this is perfect. The strung chord intro. The vocals. The badass breathy flute and then...........the killer metallic Martin Barre solos and fade out. Wow.
Nostalgy made me cry.
Great song!
thank you RP
thank you RP
Martin Barre is such an amazing player. Doesn't seem like he gets recognized with the other greats of his time.

You should realize that the thing called the "Hall of Fame" is more or less a business. As I suppose are all the venues with that claim. I have been there twice, and although it was enjoyable in its own way, having a presence there confers absolutely nothing of merit. What surprised me was the brisk sale of standard commercial CDs at full list price. Any decent record/CD store would beat their selection and the prices. But it was selling well.
How these guys are not in the hall of fame is a travesty....

One of my all time favorites. Brings back so many wonderful memories. Love it!! PS- I have the original album and the artwork and design are one of the best.

This has become one of my favorite Jethro Tull songs. Maybe because it hasn't been as overplayed as many of their songs are. But it also is just a good song.
Increasing from 7 to 8 - Most Excellent
MARTIN BARRE on GUITAR
Replaced Tony Iommi, of future Black Sabbath fame, in
1968 after Tull performed in The Rolling Stones rock and Roll Circus.

Indeed it was a wonderful album, Bill, as was This Was and Benefit. JT pretty much lost me after that. The songs on Aqualung were no longer pretty like this track; Thick As a Brick and later efforts were something else again.
BTW, Ian Anderson now owns and operates a very successful salmon farming operation. If you're anywhere in the UK or the Continent eating smoked salmon, it very well may have come from his company.

It really is an inspirational song. All about remembering where you came from and being happy with the way things are going. I love it.

An unexpected kiss. A break of sun on a cloudy day. A $20 dollar bill sitting alone on the street in front of you. A letter from a long lost friend.
This nugget from JT.
All brilliant gifts that force a smile. Thanks, Bill!

Came to this brilliant album later in life. One of my favourite tunes to strum on a winters eve. Maybe Bill will slip 'Look Into The Sun' into the playlist if we're lucky.
Just another truly brilliant tune from one of my all time fav bands back in the day ..... Thanks, i really needed that!
The HBO show Vinyl has not been kind to Tull.
Wonder if Mick Jagger has a bone to pick with Ian....

The last time I saw Anderson and co., he said that the Eagles had stolen this chord sequence and made Hotel California out of it.

Now that's real rock music, so it is! 
the flute and guitar solos in this are golden
This is GREAT!
Agree with the comments here - having a collection of all the Tull albums provides a better insight into their depth and soul. The few that got played in the Top 40 (at the time) were too played out, and were someone else's top two.
My friends Eagles must have listened this song a loto of times, definitively.. 
Amazing how they would fade out the most incredible guitar solos back in the day. This one by Barre rivals Jimi's on Little Wing or Bold as Love.

Coldplay was sued by Joe Satriani, who claimed that their song "Viva La Vida" incorporates "substantial original portions" of his song "If I Could Fly." So it seems like it's not as much about the chord progression as it is a melodic phrase. There are very few (if any) "unique" chord progressions.

Saw JT 1968 at Oregon State gym, about 20ft away, balanced on one foot and playing like a madman, completely lost in his music.
What a performance.

Eat farmed Atlantic salmon occasionally. (Frequently for you fish haters.)
I also eat commercially caught wild or ocean-ranched salmon. The commercial (sic) industry has to be one of the worst managed fisheries in history. Sucks dollars out of taxpayer pockets. Hurts Aboriginals. Some of the more mouthy commercial fishermen would surprise working class Afrikaners during the Apartheid era. Well maybe not.

"Mr Tull" ?
There is no Mr. Tull in the group, which was formed by Ian Anderson.
According to Wikipedia:
Band names were often supplied by their booking agents' staff, one of whom, a history enthusiast, eventually christened them "Jethro Tull" after the 18th-century agriculturist. The name stuck because they happened to be using it the first time a club manager liked their show enough to invite them to return.I find this kind of funny. Jethro Tull invented the seed drill machine, in the 17th century. If you read further . . .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck
. . . you'll learn that :
Yet another possible etymology is from the Old High German word pfluog, meaning "to plow, as in a field."
So the group is named after the inventor of the first pfluoging machine.
Thanks for the lesson, but it was all quite obvious, with or without wiki.

Sounds so much like 'aqualung' - in fact, you can sing the first few lines of aqualung to it, works perfect.

A wonderful band called White Denim has come up with a terrific amalgam of early Tull, some Grateful Dead and various other influences.
There latest album is called "D" and worth a listen.

'cuz we sure had views through the best windowpane, mushrooms were one of our main food groups, and weed was a staple crop to many of us... At almost every house party, this band and this record spun its spell from upon the exalted altar of sound. Loved it then and still dig it now! Way to go with the Playlist, RP!

First time I got to see them live was at the Forum in LA for the Aqualung tour. Sat behind the stage, 10th row. Up high enough to see over everything. What a treat to see a show from the stage perspective looking out.

Cool track. My dad used to have the gatefold lp with it's stand up centre piece.
All JT flute solos sound exactly the same: breathy and boring.
Stand up and rate this great song...
I keep hoping Bill will someday play "Back to the Family" - a personal favourite of mine from this album.
